"I was prescribed with Premarin vaginal cream to use for 2 weeks prior pap. I had total hysterectomy 9 months ago. I experienced severe acid stomach from this medicine. I have a history of stomach acid so I didn't put the 2 together. I took my usual med, avoided food that could trigger acid but to no avail. I suffered for 5 days of severe acid stomach until I decided to stop the cream that night. The following day, my stomach still sore but not acidic. I woke up with a headache. I didn't think the cream will affect me this way since its effects are limited in vaginal area. I was wrong. I can confirm that my acid stomach was due to Premarin vaginal cream."


"I had four 250mg of azithromycin and felt fine straight after. I hadn't read the reviews and didn't know what was to happen next. BOOM two and a half hours later I there was a waterfall coming out my butt and felt like I was about to throw up! My temperature rapidly increased and I had terrible stomach pains! The next day I continue to feel ill having awful stomach pains but not once did I poo! Definitely learnt my lesson! 100% making sure the boy covers up:/"


"I went back on birth control hoping to alleviate some of my acne (I'm 26) and the first month of being on Trinessa was terrible – headaches, nausea, heartburn – and now that I'm nearing the end of the second month I'm experiencing weight gain all over – I can't fit into my bras, my waist is thicker, etc. and the acne is still present, although slightly better. I'm calling my doctor to see about switching brands."


"Norel SR is the only medication I've found that allows me to breath freely, significantly reduces sinus headache occurrences, stops post-nasal drip completely, yet doesn't dry me out to the point that I develop vocal problems (I use my singing and speaking voice for 7 hours a day during the school year).  Other allergy medicines tend to make me drowsy, but I don't experience any drowsiness, or agitation even, while using Norel SR. For the first time ever, I feel I can live "normally" indoors and out."


"Terrible experience.  While this drug may work for some but did not for my child.  EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO BE WARNED OF THE POTENTIAL DANGERS."


"I've recently suffered a relationship breakdown. My anxiety eventually spiralled out of control to the point I walked out of my job, life & all "responsibilities" to return home like a child.  OCD negative thoughts, inability to go 2 days without crying, constant fear of anxiety returning, weight loss and inability to sleep / function basically LIVE!! I was SO scared of the horror stories but at rock bottom there's nowhere but up right? I have been on 5mg for 4 days now. Taking it before bed. First night very nauseous, the next day feeling tired, teary & "distracted". However, I have noticed a general improvement in my mood after 4 days. A good day yesterday and terrible today. BUT! I'm persevering. Thanks all for positive stories. :o)"


"I've been on so many medications since I was 13 I couldn't possibly remember nor list them all. One was abilify. I hated it. It made me extremely tired and fatigued. Latuda is by far the best medication I have ever been on. To bad it is so expensive."


"I had been put on carvedilol along with valsartan 160/25. It worked for blood pressure, however my cardiologist advised me that it was a significant contributor to my erectile dysfunction. After various trials in dosage, we eliminated carvedilol altogether and went to Bystolic with good BP results and no erectile dysfunction complications. Carvedilol may be good for those with actual heart problems, but just for control of BP, we found a great substitute without all the side effects."


"I have taking Aciphex for about a year now and I can not live without it, forgot it on vacation and paid the price. Will not make that mistake again. I like many others have tried various prescription as well as over the counter medicines but nothing works as well as Aciphex."


"Going on the fourth day with no results"


"I didn't realise until a few packs in that I had become VERY, VERY moody. Angry, blowing up at my boyfriend for little things, crying a lot. I bled more heavily than I had on my previous birth control (I was told it had been discontinued) and for nearly a week. I do not recommend this, just for the way it messed up my emotions."


"Used Lariam in Zimbabwe for periods up to six weeks in country.  Have taken this medication on 15 trips to Zimbabwe I have not experienced any side effects."


"This drug is a joke for anxiety. It doesn't work at all. I thought it would also help with my contact dermatitis, but it doesn't help with that at all either. If you take this drug you're wasting your time."


"I have suffered from all kinds of anxieties, like Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks, Obsessive thoughts and Social anxiety. There are times when you have NO social anxiety, for instance, in my case, even after stopping 25mg CR version Paxil, there had been no fear of social confrontation, just shyness or may be low self-esteem or introversion.

But when SA attacks again, its a very gradual process. Even if you notice a slight sign of SA coming back, you try to disprove your own opinion by thinking - ''Now I have learned, this feeling is just stupid, doesn't make sense and I am definitely not gonna develop a full fledged SA."
But when SA comes back you have no idea but to start taking Paxil again."


"I have had restless legs for over 50 years.  It started when I was expecting my 1st daughter.  I was told it was common in pregnant women but mine has NEVER let up - in fact has gotten worst over the years.  I tried drinking quinine water until that was banned, it helped some but not much. I also 'held up the wall' with stretching exercises.

I started taking ropinirole about 10 yrs on the advice of another person who called herself 'the queen of restless legs',  I was given 1mg and told I should start taking 1/2 pill per day, increasing it weekly until I got 'results' - that one could take as many as 8 pills per day! Well, the 1/2 pill worked just fine for several years - I now take 1 to 2 per day depending."


"I got Kyleena inserted this morning, and honestly, it really didn't hurt. The whole thing took less that 1 minute. I felt slightly crampy for about 30 seconds during, and when my doctor said "done", I hadn't even realized she had started the procedure. All my friends had me absolutely terrified, saying it was going to hurt, when they've never even had an IUD themselves. My advice: don't listen to what others say, eat a good breakfast the day of, and try to relax. A minute of slight discomfort is so worth not having to worry about birth control for 5 years. You can do it!"


"This medicine really helped me out with a bronchitis attack. I have been suffering with acute bronchitis for about 3 weeks now, after taking all of the medication that my doctor prescribed I still have no relief. After reading reviews I decided to give Mucinex (liquid) a try, to my surprise it really helps to bring up all of that sticky mucus that was stuck in my lungs. Although I'm not fully well yet, I can see better days ahead!"


"I got this birth control in July 2012 and I bled for about 3 months straight, with light and heavy bleeding. Then after that I never got another period until now, it's getting near the end of the 3rd year and I'm starting to spot lightly. I don't know if this is normal and I can't find the answer anywhere. I would have to say that my fiancé and I love it, just not the prolonged bleeding in the beginning. I would recommend this birth control to anyone who may forget to take the pill."


"I was absolutely terrified when I read the reviews. But went ahead and took one pill before breakfast anyway. I drank A TON of water with it and for the next few hours.

After four hours I went the bathroom, twice within a half an hour span. Very mild (not painful at) cramps and that was it. No issues what so ever."


"It's helping me a lot."


"This medicine is very effective for pain, but added unexpected benefit of substantive improvement in quality of sleep. Only side effect is dry mouth and funny taste in mouth. I've been on it for two weeks and actually lost one kilo. I'm 39 year old female."


"I've been taking this medication on and off for over 3 years, and it has worked wonderfully. Just a third or half of a 5mg pill works for me. I have not experienced any side effects, but do go right to bed once I take the pill."


"So far so good! Day two on contrave and I'm already down 4lbs. No side effects at all except I get fuller faster. Plus doctor gave me a little tip to not drink any carbination drinks while on it cause carbination makes ur tummy swell. I'm one full week off carbonated drinks and before I started I lost 5lbs. So in one week I'm down 6lbs! Drink lots and lots of water"


"So I started taking about a week ago, because I have severe anxiety and ADHD as well as OCD, and at first it was miserable, I couldn't read or think straight, it felt like I was in a dream I was in a daze and I was so light headed, i had a terrible dry mouth with the most awful headache, and I felt sleepy, and sluggish, even passed out while getting dressed. I did have better concentration, and overall felt calmer but it has seriously drained me out of alot of other emotions.  A week later I am still tired, but I'm not falling asleep during everyday tasks. I can think straight, though I still get light headed and dry mouth, I feel calmer and more relaxed though, and I can focus. My emotions are here and there though, not really constant."


"Levocarb works very well, however am having to up my does, as decades go by, in my 60s, take more to make symptoms go away...larger amounts make me mildly nauseated."


"I was prescribed risperdal about 6 months ago cause I suffer from schizophrenia and anxiety but am afraid of side affects also the doctor gave me celexa. Plus I suffer with seizures drinking tegretol and many others meds
I decided to give it a try for my family sake I had my first pill wishing things will work out just wanted to know Am I on the right track or is there something I should know before I expirience the unknown"


"We ladies have to remember that all our bodies compositions are different. I will have to rate this a 10  because it is doing its job. I got it placed no later than 2 months ago and I am no longer bleeding. I was spotting for the entire time from placement until up until a week ago. The draw backs are that my partner can feel the strings and he says they stick him and since I have stopped bleeding I have had symptoms of pregnancy. I guess its my body reacting to no period. I have been sleeping none stop, back pain, head aches from being tired all the time and hungry pains. I don't want to have any more children so I think I will get my tubes tied. "


"Cymbalta took away 80% percent of my muscle pain and 90% of my headaches. I actually started taking it as an anti-depressant and found that I was depressed because of all the pain. Also I have found some fun sexual side effects."


"I am 45 years old and had sudden onset of simple/complex seizures 3 years ago, 6-10 seizures a day. I was on Tegretol, Dilantin, ativan, 100 units of botox  and celexa. I could not function function. Vomiting and sleeping. Progressed to grand mal. Went to Cleveland Clinic and they put me on Vimpat  and Klonopin. I feel great despite one partial seizure a day. I have lost 8 pounds. I love it!"


"Its a great cream but, every morning I have to peel my skin?...my acne was fine with in an month."


"I have severe RLS that is a problem during the day as well as night time.  I take Mirapex 0.25 mg twice a day, which greatly increases my comfort levels and the ability to hold relatively still.  Note:  I am confined to a wheelchair, with idiopathic polyneuropathy, along with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (and numerous additional diagnoses), and currently take 29 other prescription medicines, so I am unable to comment on side effects.  I have tried other drugs for RLS, including Lyrica, Klonopin, Neurontin, and clonidine.  For me, Mirapex and Lyrica relieve RLS far better than the others."


"I would have liked something that lasted longer but this for the most part is good."


"Horrible vomited all night became dehydrated needed iv fluids next day"


"I have been treated successfully for atrophic vaginitis with Vagifem for six years. Unfortunately, because I now have Medicare with supplemental insurance, I have had to get a month's supply of Yuvafem, the new generic for Vagifem, until I can get the brand Vagifem from Canada. The first thing I noticed is how poorly the Yuvafem is package. when trying to separate the applicators, the packaging covering the pill area broke open, and I ended up having to cut the applicators apart. Now I wonder if the medication is also substandard product. Of course, in the U.S., we are unable to tell were our prescription medications are made, where as in other countries, that information is available."


"Did not do anything for my bronchitis."


"I have fibromyalgia and additional pain from osteoarthritis.  I work fulltime at a demanding professional job, and and taking opiates and/or muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine frequently is not an option - I need to be able to think.  The fibro pain disappears when I take methocarbamol and it doesn't (seem to) affect my ability to think, nor does it make me sleepy.  It works very well for me."


"I was totally addicted to 10mg Vicodin and Oxycodone, Percocet for about 2 years. I started the weary rounds of running out early, then hitting Urgent Care in desperation for more pills - bottom line it did not work and I was terrified of withdrawal. Made a great choice: Suboxone - the best working medicine I have ever taken, a little strong at 8mg a day but worth it hands down 100%."


"This is the ONLY birth control pill that has ever worked well with my system. No weight gain, no hair loss, no mood swings, in fact, my periods used to be so irregular that's I'd have terrible PMS and now I'm only cranky pants for a day or so. It helped clear my skin, regulate my cycle, helped me maintain my weight, and I just love it."


"I got the mirena feb of 2015 so it's been a little over a year the inserting part wasn't that bad I say a 4. The cramps after about a 6 I bleed for 6 months straight around the third month it was pretty light (panty liner) I broke out on my forehead for about 4 of those months than it went away I have random cramping and Nausea along with pregnancy symptoms ( cravings , nausea bad taste, mood swings )  I also have to wear a panty liner everyday due to more discharge but it colorless and don't have a smell I haven't notice hair loss or nail damage but I do get a light period every month sometimes 5 days some times 8 and it makes my constipated /gasey sometimes I have cravings and sometimes I don't eat cause I feel bloated and full"


"Hey all. I began this birth control around November. Insertion was awful; I threw up and passed out. It depends on the person though! I'm not a huge fan of this birth control. It made intercourse painful in certain positions. It did increase my sex drive a lot though. My skin is now a disaster, I'm pretty sad about that. I'm excessively tired all the time. I've gained 30 pounds out of the blue. I dunno guys, this birth control just wasn't for me and I'm switching back to the pill."


"I had good results from Wellbutrin. But had a seizure caused by the trauma of a sub-dural hematoma, three brain surgeries, and two craniotomies within 20 days and had to be taken off Wellbutrin because of the seizure risk. The seizure was not contributed by Wellbutrin. Other than the seizure risk Wellbutrin worked well with no side effects."


"Great   and Keppra too"


"I went on Depakote 10 weeks ago. My migraines are no different, but I've gained 25 pounds. That's just crazy! Just switched to propranolol and I think my headaches are getting better."


"I have had a small improvement with sulfazine, but unfortunately I started having severe ringing in the ears after 6 months, also it gave me pain in my achilles tendon and calves at night.   Keep in mind that I had the pain side effect also with cholestrol medications, but not the ringing in the ears."


"This medicine works very well for me. I take 7.5mg. of this. I am prescribed 1 or 2 at bedtime.  Before, I was taking 5mg. of regular Ambien. I would fall asleep rather quickly, but I always wake up around 2 or 3 am for the bathroom. Then, I could never go back to sleep. When I went back to my doctor, she changed it to the extended release. Now when I get up during the night, I'm able to get back to sleep. I always allow myself enough time to sleep off the medication, even if it means taking it and going to bed early. I allow myself 10 hours. I feel rested when I get up and have coffee. The only side effect I've experienced is I sometimes wake myself up talking.** I would not take this med. with nerve pills or drink alcohol."


"I was diagnosed with ADD at the age of 30, Ritalin has changed my life and I'm not sure I could function as an independent adult without it at this point. I am now able to make goals and follow through with them, my mood is more stable, I look forward to waking up in the morning again and it doesn't affect my appetite too much. You do need to make sure you find your dose for optimal results. I feel Vyvanse works better but is too expensive for me at this time and it takes away my appetite and keeps me up too late."


"Used to be active. Over last ten years extreme fatigue has grown to total dominance. Interest, hobbies and life in general just vanished. After extensive testing and use of CPAP, doc put me on 200mg/day Provigil, it was like a teaser not quite doing anything, but 400mg seemed to at least get me mentally more active, but does very little for the fatigue part. My major complaint is hard to describe, but after a couple of days I get a sore feeling in my mouth. I don't grind my teeth, but tend to keep a negative pressure in my mouth causing a ridge to form along the tooth line, and slight but painful sores on the gum here and there, it has to be some form of tension, also affects sleep."


"Abilify worked better for me than Risperdal for my odd thinking, and I hear voices less on Abilify than Risperdal, as well.  It also gave me no side-effects.  Unfortunately, I did not find the Abilify to be 100% effective.  It does very little for my mood episodes as monotherapy.  My psychotic symptoms still seem to pop up here and there too, even on the highest effective dose of 20 mg.  Currently, I'm looking for a more effective antipsychotic that doesn't cost an arm and a leg either."


"I have been on this birth contraceptive for five months,  some may say you should wait several months to fully review but I am currently dealing with cystic acne,  that of which I have never ever had before and funny thing is I'm also on an acne medication and it still won't fix anything (been on it for three and a half months). It has not helped my cramps, makes me nauseous and I have developed heavy depression from time to time with no reason to. I'm gonna get off of it as soon as possible but whenever I take the placebo pills is when I get insane acne, gonna have to make sure I use a very strong acne medication when I do get off of it since my hormones are so out of balance "


"It burned and my skin got really dry in the beginning but after the first 2-3 weeks my skin got used to it and its awesome! I've seen a huge difference in the 5 months I've been using it. I don't have as many breakouts s before and right when a pimple shows up I put on epiduo and its practically gone the next morning. If it stings a lot or your skin peels, skip it for a day or two and then continue using it."


"I was on a treatment plan of care for Obesity to also high blood pressure. I dropped a total of 27 pounds in two months while taking the medication Adipex 37.5 mg. I did not have any side effects. I was able to reach my goal."


"I had a terrible skin infection and a few days of taking Zithromax made it look a lot better. May need another course but good for now."


"I am on a low dose, but have never had any problems with this drug and have been using it for several years now. My Dr. is very happy with it (prescribed by another Dr.) it does it's job. No more puffy ankles either! YAY!"


"Works well, no side effects. Easy on my stomach."


"Unfortunately after 3 doses I had to stop this medication. Initially I did experience nausea but I could deal with that, it was into the third week I started to experience severe stomach pain and I was so ill with real vomiting, cold sweats, shakes etc. The pain would not go so doctor had to be consulted and apparently because Trulicity slows the metabolism my stomach wasn't emptying properly and causing all the problems.  The pain was so severe at one point I really thought I had a serious condition!!!"


"I am a chronic migraine sufferer, and I didn't really notice any difference in using this than just the sumatriptan injection, though the injection worked a little faster. My migraine would disappear in about 30 minutes, but I would get a strange side effect: a tight, tense, mildly achy feeling in my neck for about 2 hours following administration. Like I said, my migraine was gone, but the discomfort in my neck was just as disruptive and annoying."


"I have a semi-rare medical condition where I get intense, horrendous mood swings due to a horomone imbalance.

Camrese has been the only birth control for me to solve this. I've taken birth controls that have made me gone into spouts of rage, but after taking this for more than six months, I can 100% say this is the right medicine for me.

I have no more mood swings, and the period pills have horomones in them, so I wont have emotional swings there either. I also have PCOS, so whatever. Its good to know I'm still getting some estrogen to counteract the testosterone.

What is unusual now is that my period is so light that I only need a light pad. I'm currently 5 days into it and it's extremely managable. It almost seems too good to be true."


"I am 43.  I've had acne since I was 12, and was very self conscious- especially at my age...I mean, how crappy is acne in your 40's and wrinkles? Ugh. I started taking tretinoin .05%.  I had terrible peeling and dryness for a few months, but I noticed my face starting to get clearer.  Was the drying and peeling worth it- to have dull skin is not cool.  So.....I used an exfoiliating fash wash each morning and once a week used one of those face scrubby things in the shower. Also, I put on a moisturizer with SPF 30- that's important because this stuff will make you burn in the sun! That all worked for me! At around the 6 month time, there was no more acne- only a few zits around the time of my period- AND I get complements on my youthful skin!"


"Caused me violent abdominal pain, flank pain, nausea, and headache.  After 3 days, I called my doctor for a different medicine."


"I have been on Pristiq for 2 and a half weeks. The first day I was nauseated but I ate and felt much better. The first week I was very hyper in the morning when I took it. I could not drink my usual cup of coffee. The late afternoon I felt tired. This week I feel much better not hyper at all. I feel somewhat calmer and my husband agrees. I have lost 4 pounds so far and that is great. I have hypothyroidism and gained 10lbs from Synthroid. I am taking Pristiq because I have mood swings and horrible PMS. I do hope I feel more of the effects of this medication in the next few weeks. I was on Wellbutrin and Celexa before but had side effects. Pristiq has been awesome so far."


"I like it."


"HORRIBLE! It caused severe angioedema, very heavy uncomfortable periods and when they pulled it out it was corroded. DO NOT EVER GET ONE! Read the package inserts!!! If I could rate less than 1, I would."


"I got Skyla inserted about two weeks ago, while I was on my period. It was difficult for the doctor to find my cervix which made the procedure VERY painful. The next couple days I had terrible cramps. Now all I'm dealing with is light spotting and an occasional bad cramp. The spotting is very annoying though! If that goes away soon then it was definitely worth it."


"I started Chantix two years ago on June 5th with an expected quit day of June 12th. I didn't even make it a week, on the fifth day, I looked down at the cigarette with disgust and threw it away and gave my pack away. The easiest part was taking the pill, I knew if I took it, I was one day closer to being smoke free! I went back for my second month, and she told me it was $192. I told her I already paid that at the beginning, she said it was only for the first month. I ended up not getting the second month and remained smoke free for over a year! I smoked one cigarette at a party and the next day I had a pack in my pocket. My greatest advice, is to realize that once you make it, you can NEVER try it again! One cig= relapse!"


"I must admit, after reading the commens I was real scared, but I told my self everyone's body reacts differently. May, 6/2014 I took my first shot so far I am feeling great. I was a bit drained before I took the shot, woke up feeling energetic."


"Had mirena inserted 6/11/15. I was approx 9 weeks postpartum from my fourth child. My Ob/Gyn suggested mirena for me .

I read reviews beforehand and was a little scared about the insertion process; however, I did not feel anything much. It felt like a pap smear to me and only felt the odd sensation of the device being released but it was not painful. I was on day 2 of my period and it basically stopped that same evening. I did start bleeding lightly a week later and that continued to my dismay for 2 and a half more weekes it was never heavy, only light to slightly moderate and much lighter than my heavier period days. I thought the bleeding would never end and wanted to yank it out! Today is my first blood free day and I am hope it lasts!"


"In one night my life changed , I passed out without any reason and the next day I was depressed, I couldn't eat and sleep. I was extremely tired and my blood pressure was very high. I also had regularly heart palpitations. After several medical examinations I was put on mirtazapine:

Effect on sleep: works instantly, sometimes I did get weird dreams but after 4 weeks this also passed.
Effect on depressed mood: it took 2 weeks before I experienced that my mood was getting better, after 4 weeks my mood was good.
Effect on appetite: you get hungry but not very extremely.

Side effects: the drug makes you extremely tired but this took exactly a month before it wears off. Now my energy is completely back.

I am on this medicine for 6 weeks"


"I've been on Saphris about 2 weeks now and the nausea has been terrible, not sure how much longer I'll stick with it. I don't feel I've gotten any better, in fact. Not sure what to do next."


"I have pharmacy back ground and I have a great doctor. I Have had no working thyroid in over 2 decades. We put our heads together after I researched low dose naltrexone for weight loss and I stumbled into this drug. Myself knowing how RX coverage usually works or "doesn't ". We discussed mirroring this drug with the two generic ingredients. One 200 mg bupropion and half of a 50mg naltrexone in the AM and the same in the PM. Added the bupropion first 2  weeks ago and added the naltrexone today. For those of you that love this drug but simply can't afford it, this option may be worth mentioning to your Dr since 99% of insurance  have no problem paying for these cheap drugs. I will post my results weekly in case anyone finds this alternative interesting"


"Omg! Why did it take this long (15-20) years for a doctor to prescribe this amazing medicine! I am on day 3 days, WAIT ALMOST A WEEK!, without a valium or ZANAX and I feel great! It's like the devil has left me from being a slave to my Benzo's. Driving around on a Sunday night trying to get a too soon script filled by saying I have no health insurance. It doesn't work! I feel so amazing! I do have a script for valium but I don't even want to fill it (I'm due ), but I don't freaking need it! I'm so happy! I just want to know why I only received 10pills? He also prescribed me Clonidine .1mg 4 times a day and Gabapentin 300mg twice a day. I am being compliant but Librium is a benzo! Am I going to have benzo withdrawal when I don't take Librium?"


"This is the only laxative/stool softener I can actually trust to take and produce a bowl movement within 12 hours! The only down side is that it gives me really bad stomach cramps about an hour before I am able to pass a bowl movement! If it was okay for me to take every day I would."


"I am on my 2nd shot of my depo, first shot was amazing but the second one which I had on 31 November went completely down hill, I haven't been on my period but when having sexual intercourse with my boyfriend I bleed! I don't even have to have sex. It's every time I orgasm I will bleed, as you can imagine for a 19 year old girl that's pretty embarrassing. I'm not the only one who has suffered in this way and I've also had 2 pregnancies scares. I have regular anxiety and depression also It's literally ruining my life!

Really wouldn't recommend!"


"Dyanavel was a great for my son, much better than the Vyvance and it lasted the whole day.  Best part free for two months than $20 dollars there after!"


"I was diagnosed with geno 1A in 2011 by accident at age 40. It was determined I most likely  contracted it as a child 1971 from blood transfusions needed for a blood disorder. I opted not to be treated with the meds at the time because of all the known side affects and at the time I was otherwise healthy. My doctor told me about new drugs on the horizon that sounded promising.  I started Harvoni Feb 2. 2016 after 4 weeks blood work showed it undectable. The first few weeks I did have headaches, fatigue and insomnia.  I took in the morning time on a empty stomach and had to crush it and eat in yogurt because I can't swollow pills.  Blood work after 12 weeks still undetectable and I go next week for the 12 week follow up."


"Yes, it burns. Get over it. This is the only medication that's an actual SOLUTION, and not just a bandaid on the problem like lubricants. You will suffer for a month, get used to it because it's worth it. Restasis works, if you'd rather complain and not find a solution than go through a month uncomfortable I am speechless.
You can not use inflammatory eye drops, it negates restasis. Be prepared for no makeup, and to look bloodshot for a bit.

After a cpl months I'm loving the effect Restasis has had on my eyes. Pro-tip: Stick vials in the fridge,   when you put a couple drops in each eye place the topper back on. ONE vial will last 3-4 days, that's putting 2 drops in each eye 2x a day. Recommended is 2 vials a day, bullshit."


"I've been on Lexapro for about a month and a half now (10/mg). I have not had any differences with my depression or anxiety. In fact my anxiety is still bad. It also makes me crave food that I'm not a huge fan of. Very confusing."


"My sister is in town trying to find Uristat; she has been to 2 drug stores.  No luck.  I have used this product for 40 years.  Description says does not cure Urinary tract infection.  This is a misnomer.  This is a wonderful product with no side effects and I am very sensitive to medication.  I rate this very, very highly."


"I'm only three months into this pill, but so far it has been nothing but good for me. I do get headaches, but they do not interfere with my daily activites so I don't mind. I've also had some breakouts but normally near my period, which is usual for me even off the pill. No weight gain yet, normal moods, I haven't missed a pill yet. My first period was really browny and black in the beginning and a light orange at the end. I'm not sure if that is normal, but who knows. Also, some vaginal discharge but not enough to bug me. Overall, its working great!"


"I have tried a few drugs now that are for type 2 Diabetes.  My regular DR sent me to a specialist and she had me try Tradjenta, she said it would help me curb my hungry and such to which it did. The big down fall was that my Blood Sugar went sky rocketing I am also on Lantus pen slow release at night time. We upped my intake at night and it was even higher on fasting.  I have experienced weight gain even though I am not eating as much or carbs.  I have called every week with updates on the issues that I am having with no response from the DR. as of yet.  I have stopped taking this drug and back to just diet and exercise and Lantus at night before bed and guess what, my BS is lower by almost 50 points and this is just one day !"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This was by far best bowel prep experience. Sure it could taste better but it isn't awful. I drank it quickly through a straw with a lemonade chaser.  I was well hydrated before I began and during. No cramping, no nausea, it was so much better than past experiences. I think hydration was key and the straw."


"It wasn't too bad. I loved how easy it was, I didn't experience any pain or weight gain and my complexion improved greatly! The only problem was that I would become extremely depressed and moody for no reason at all. I would recommend it to others."


"Numb head is better than pounding headache."


"I'm in the UK and get this on prescription - just have to pay the usual £7.45 each time I get it which is approximately once per month.  I think it is brilliant.  In the past couple of years I seemed to have alot more peach fuzz and some coarser hair on my neck.  This has slowed growth down to the point where it has almost stopped and I only occasionally have to pluck the odd hair rather than spend an hour every evening.  It has given me my life back."


"Five years ago, I was prescribed Accutane for my acne. It certainly kept my acne at bay for five years. A few months ago, I started breaking out again and this time the severity was less than it previously was. It was a few small zits and blackheads here and there. I was prescribed Retin A and it was a God send! The first two weeks, I battled with extra oily skin and my face turned beet red. I persevered and by the third week, the redness subsided and my face became acclimatised to it. The acne has definitely gone away as has the blackheads. The plus side is that my face looked smoother in years and whatever residual acne scars and discolorations have softened and looked better and better.
Retin A addressed my acne needs and truly delivered."


"The mood swings are almost unbearable and I've been getting my period even when I'm taking the active pills."


"I was prescribed this medicine after being hospitalized in a mental facility. I was previously taking Zoloft and Wellbutrin which stopped working for me and the increase in dosage led to increase in depression and anxiety. I have to say Effexor beats any anxiety medicines I have ever taken. This medicine makes me feel normal. The only down side is the side effect your body has if you miss a dosage. I began to feel light headed and very emotional if I miss more that 1 dose."


"Ok First of all I can honestly say I am a member of the honorable Gout Club.   I have had full blown gout at least 4 times when I failed to react to the symptoms due to confusing the pain to that of my Cholesterol medication.  On the initial onset of pain,  OD on Cherry Juice concentrate, Daily C and lots of water helps block the effect if done so immediately.  If I delay and its the true Gout attack I'm in for giving birth to a baby out my big toe.   Well at least its the most horrible feeling, Unless your a true gout member you wont ever understand / appreciate the real pain one goes thru.   Indomethacin  has been the real pain stopper and works everytime. Unfortunately for me I was on Effient  and Plavix and they wouldn't prescribe."


"I have taken Singulair or the generic Montelukast for almost 2 decades now and have had excellent results on the drug. I almost cannot tell I have asthma while taking the medication, provided I am not exposed to cigarette, wildfire, or any other form of smoke.  However, I want to share that I have had the experience now of taking three U.S. generics that I did not have excellent results on.  Within about 30 days of starting the generic in each case, I began experiencing asthma symptoms as if I were taking either a placebo or nothing at all.  Only one generic that I have found thus far has been as effective for me as the brand name medication, and the generic has unfortunately been discontinued by my pharmacy."


"I began suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome about a year ago.  Didn't know I had it, just knew I was sleeping more than I was awake.  Just diagnosed in January and have been taking Nuvigil since then.  Started at 150 mg a day, but it wore off by mid afternoon.  Have since increased the dosage to two pills a day.   I take the second pill in the afternoon and it keeps me going for another 6 hours or so.  I haven't had to take a nap since I started taking the medication and I am able to concentrate more.  I feel more alert and can get much more accomplished during the day.  I don't have trouble sleeping or staying asleep.  This medication has been a miracle that has given me back my life."


"I was given Diprivan as an anesthetic during a recent breast lumpectomy. Apart from some post-anesthetic shivering in recovery (nurses gave me a pre-warmed blanket which worked well) I had absolutely no side effects. Woke feeling bright, alert and hungry. My anethestist agreed it is her anesthetic of choice."


"I've had really bad migraines since I was 30 (now 53).  I tried everything!  Last medication I was on was Fioricet.  It worked most times but not all the time.  I also had to lay down when I took it.  I have missed so many great events over the years due to migraines.  I heard about Maxalt and asked my doctor to prescribe it.  My quality of life is amazing.  My migraine is gone within 30 minutes every time.  I don't have to lay down with it either."


"Being 18 and having the condom break in your gf is scary... we both freaked out and tbh I was more terrified then she was. We took the pill 1-2 hours after it happened and for a week I was on pins and needles. She had lower back pain, sore breasts, nausea, and even vomited 3-4 times a few days after taking the pill. It was starting to take affect on the relationship as we both would flip out on each other about it.. (not good I know) but I'm happy to say on 1-4-17 she received some spotting and the start of a period. The pill works! Do not freak about it, there's a reason they make it!!! Good luck"


"I have been battling anemia for the past three years as a result of very heavy, painful, irregular menstrual cycles. I have been diagnosed with Estrogen Dominance, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and a tilted uterus. My gynecologist inserted the Mirena IUD on 10-Jan-11 in order to attempt to better regulate my out-of-control cycles. I unfortunately, am a Mirena rejecter. I experienced EVERY possible side effect associated with this device: cystic acne, hair loss, weight gain, constant headaches, shooting pain in my lower back and down my legs, severe fatigue, mood swings, constant bleeding and excruciating abdominal pain that almost sent me to the ER on four separate occasions. Mirena IUD REMOVED 08-Feb-11. Almost all side effects gone!"


"I was prescribed Cephalexin for a soft tissue infection in a finger. The drug did in fact, reduce some of the swelling. However, generally speaking, my reaction was not what I would label as positive. After the fifth day of a seven day cycle, I woke to find a major outbreak on one half of my face. On a sidenote, I was prescribed Tetracycline as a teenager for acne. And what I woke to was a flashback of early teen acne  Regardless, I brought it the attention of my healthcare provider. The general response was......nothing. The nurse, the doctor, the PA. None of them even reacted, much less responded to my concern. In the end, I have had a serious acne outbreak at 53. Appears I am allergic to Cephalexin."


"I found it to be helpful but at a pretty high dose and I wouldn't call it a cure all but it really has helped with me. I am someone that doesn't handle and respond to typical antipsychotics and certainly not good on anti-depressants. I am mixed state right now because the doctor reduced my meds by 600 mg without a reason. It drove me to all kinds of emotions."


"I have been on kolonopin for almost a year now & it has been an absolute life saver! I had horrible panic attacks, scared to drive, couldn't even go shopping without getting dizzy and anxious.  Anxiety has taken over my life, the panic attacks are so scary I thought I was going to die. I'm very greatful to have this medicine.  I've heard of problems with dependency but I don't know what I'd do without it, I'm also on zoloft & I feel like I have my life back!"


"I'm a 47 year old female.  Dr. gave me the free packet that works up from 20mg to 80mg.  Took it for only about 3 weeks and then quit.  Did not notice any help with ADHD, although I may not have given it long enough.  However, the side effects were: increase in blood pressure, feeling my heart beating hard, sleepiness, getting winded very quickly from just walking less than a block.  This medicine is not for me.  Even though it is not a stimulant, it seemed to affect my cardiovascular system, and the symptoms were just not worth it."


"I started taking the pill end of October, I am now on my third week of Loestrin. At first I had minor cramps and breast tenderness which I ignored. Slowly the pill started giving me worst side effects. I gained weight, have major cramps and have been on my period for two weeks.. my normal period lasts 3-4 days. I am not even on the placebo pills yet. I also have major mood swings."


"This drug in fact takes me from a 10 of horrible anxiety to about a 3. It has done wonders. It makes me feel like me again when I take it. I can think clearer and more positively. I wish they had an extended release. The only down fall is the only last maybe 4 to 5 hrs which is great to have that break but if it could carry on longer we wouldn't have to take more. Mind you I only take 1 mg a day. I try to be mindful of the addictiveness. I can't even say I'm addicted at all it just helps me be me and not sitting with that dreaded feeling all day in my chest and mind. I also have panic disorder I can't say it helps panic attacks but possibly gives u more courage to do things because I feel so good. And not good as in I feel high. U feel urself."


"This is my 2nd week on Cymbalta. 1st week 30mg this week 60mg. I feel weak, restless,spacy and hopeful. I have been on many different antidepressant's and things are always great then they turn on me and no longer work. So as I read some of these reviews, I have decided to continue to take and hopefully the miracle will happen to me."


"I've been taking this medication for a uti. First bottle 3 pills a day for 30 days. NOTHING!

Was given a second supply which I took 3 pills a day for 30 days. NOTHING!

Yep, you guessed it. Third supply, 3pills a day.............really!"


"I developed RSD after diving off a ladder onto the driveway. I tore the labrum in my left shoulder by severely dislocating that shoulder. The pain from RSD is overwhelming, so after using Morphine, Trileptal, and other pain meds. I started using the Duragesic patch, 25MG then 50MG then finally settling on 100MG. I put on a new patch, every other day. The three day use was really ineffective on the third day. I used a fentanyl lollipop for breakthrough pain, which happens a lot with RSD."


"I was on Demulin and Zovia from the first time I got my period until three months ago, I'm 35, so literally 20 years. I LOVED that pill. No side effects and a very light period like clockwork down to the hour. After turning 35 my doctor said I needed a low estrogen pill and she switched me to Gildess. First month I had tender breasts, which never happened before, cramping, and my period lasted over a week. Second month I started getting nauseous every day, bad cramps, but only got my period for an hour. Four days ago I started my third month and I've been so sick. Debilitating cramps, severe nausea and overall feel like death. The doctor told me today to stop the pill right away. I've never in my 35 years of life felt this sick from BC."


"My Ob suggest Mirena only because it wouldn't make me gain weight.  It went in on Nov 2016 and the procedure was quick and not painful. I am 29 with two kids, c section both. I bled for almost 3 months. I kept calling the nurses and they kept telling to give it more time for my body to adjust. After 6 month I kept spotting randomly, finally 8 month into it decide to take it out, come to find out my uterus was inflamed and reject it and that why I was bleeding too much. I hope there is no permanent damage to my uterus."


"I developed Rosacea at the age of 45, and it got progressively worse over a 6 month period, changing from facial redness, to small pustules on my nose, and began to spread to my cheecks, above my lips, forehead, etc. Clindamycin topical lotion did basically nothing for me. My doctor put me on minocycline, and I began to see results in 4-5 days. I've been on it for 3 weeks now, and haven't had a single pustule, and the redness has greatly subsided."


"I took this drug on May 26 following an unprotected incident.  He didn't ejaculate inside me, but I took it as a precaution 17 hours later because it happened on day 13 of my cycle. Eek! I didn't experience any side effects until a week later, when I received cramping. Weird cramps under my left and right pelvic bones that burned. I also had severe anxiety and depression and dropped 13lbs. It was a nightmare. I received my period nearly two weeks later, just 2 days early from my projected start date. It was heavy with heavy clots and lasted a day longer than normal. That being said, my following period in July was 9 days late and I hadn't had sex since. Be warned that the pill can mess up your cycle for a few months after taking it!"


"I get horrible menstrual migraines. I've tried medicines in the past. Some didn't work, some worked but gave me a rebound headache. Then I started trying natural remedies. Some help, but nothing has gotten rid of my migraines. I decided to give another medicine a try because I expected a migraine to come on a day I had an important event. My doctor gave me a sample of Treximet. My migraine started coming on DURING the event. I took one pill, and within 20 minutes I could feel the pain lessen. I'd say within an hour it was completely gone. It's now been 2 days and I have not gotten a rebound headache. I also don't remember much of a side effect. I felt a little out of sorts for a bit, but that went away fairly quickly."


"I'm 32 years old, bipolar, OCD tendencies. Have been taking Seroquel XR for over a week now. At first it seemed to trigger a manic episode that lasted for 5 days. For someone who typically spends most of his time on the depressive side, this was heaven. LOL I take 100mg a day just before bed time, have no trouble getting to sleep, am able to stay asleep and don't find it too difficult to wake up. I normally have consuming and unwarranted anxiety. This has been greatly suppressed. I find it much easier to control my anger and in general my emotions have become much more stable. There have been no negative side-effects. I still feel like I need an additional anti-depressant as my normal "base level" is too low but am otherwise satisfied"


"Didn't find it a whole lot different from SSRIs other than a couple weeks of jitters. Starts off with a contented, floaty feeling and then after a month subsides to having a minor, yet meaningful effect in helping me recover from recurrent depressive episodes. It helps, but only marginally. The withdrawal effects I've experienced going cold turkey off it numerous times are strange. A couple months of severe flu-like symptoms and I'll cry very easily over anything even remotely sad. Also causes me to start rapid-cycling between euphoria, mixed and extreme depression. Also lasts a couple months. Going off of it abruptly is quite terrifying. I recommend titrating off it."


"Within two days dose I had edema in my calves knees and ankles 3 days it just got worse. Also the Saphris headache that would not go away. Did not continue with fourth dose. Great wonders if you have zero side effects"


"I was admitted to the hospital with suicidal ideation after beginning this medication.  I was probably on it 3 weeks and then was in the hospital a week.  I went from feeling depressed to suicidal that fast.  I blame the medication.  I hear it works wonders for some but for me it was terrible."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I am finishing up my 7th day of the medication.  Every website I have read made me extremely nervous about taking this medication.  If I can give any advice, EAT A FULL MEAL BEFORE YOU TAKE THE MEDICATION! If you don't eat, you will be extremely nauseous and throw up.  I hate forcing myself to eat, but if it prevents the nausea, I will do it.  You need to eat 4 meals per day.  DRINK PLENTY OF WATER ALL DAY!!!!  The mornings are hard, because you do wake up nauseous, but the first thing I do is grab a bottle of water and drink some.  I ended up with the darkened stool and diarrhea, but other than that everything has been going fine."


"Wow!

I have been taking Wellbutrin SR 150 mg. for one week ( started October 15,2016) then 2nd week taking 150 mgs at 12:00.  I have never taken any medication for my mild depression, easily agitated, sweating the small stuff, slightly obese (209 lbs), too tired after work to play with the kids diagnosis.

Then, OMG, my life is forever changed.  In my second week on Wellbutrin SR 150 mg twice per day, I down to 203 lbs.,I didn't realize how much agitation and sadness I was trying to manage on my own, I am a lot calmer when stressful situations arise, play with my kids & exercise.  I feel like there is always a song in my heart. Unless, somebody does something really STUPID to PISS me off!  But even then, I can forgive faster!  God, I'm happy"


"I have been on Entyvio for 13 months. It doesn't seem to be helping the diarrhea or urgency.  I am fatigued, all the time. I am having LOTS of joint pain and weakness (fingers, wrists, toes, ankles, knees.)  I trip/fall because my ankles roll, I drop things because my fingers won't keep a grasp. I have been tested for RA - negative.  I don't think it is working, but my GI wants to try infusing every 4 weeks instead of every 8 weeks.  To me Entyvio is not worth the side effects."


"I have had Severe Chronic Hives for a little over a year. So many Allergists/Immunologists gave me everything including XYZAL (but once a day combined with other medicines) did very little to help.  A Dermatologist said to stop all other and take XYZAL in morning and night and now my Hives are 95% cleared. I'm am at a point were I feel the hives are manageable and I can work without the heavy AntiHistimines that make me so Groggy."


"I have been taking Voltaren for Ankylosing Spondylitis for six months and it really keeps me fully functional. If I come off it for a couple of days my joints start to really ache. I had torturous night pain for a while as I got a spontaneous fracture in my pelvis due to swelling in my bones and Voltaren was the only thing that worked. I've had no noticeable side effects."


"I used this one day application at the first sign of my yeast infection. I didn't even have any vaginal itching before using just a discharge. I applied this sucker before going to bed and woke up the next morning swollen to the point where I couldn't even go to work. I remained in the bed all day in pain until all this crap came out of me that afternoon. The next day is when the burning started and all over my urinary meatus is inflamed. this was the worst choice I've ever made when it comes to my medical decisions. With such bad reviews I don't even know why they're still selling this crap"


"Just started taking about 1 week ago for severe pain due to a having a bi-lateral masectomy (both breast removed) for breast cancer in 2006, with chemotherapy followed with reconstructive surgery. Couldn't sleep due to pain took hydrocodone daily which upset my stomach and I became dependant on it every night and morning due to severe pain.  My life has changed for the better since I started taking Lyrica.  Now able to move with very little pain and my son is so happy to have his mommy back."


"I am someone who sweats anytime under my arms, it could be for any reason and I would filter my life around it.  Loose shirts, dark colors, and I would rarely ever raise my arms for the fear that I would show my stains of sweat. Talked to my dermatologist and they offered my Drysol and I absolutely loved that I could wear anything and I wouldn't sweat, but it does have its downside to it. I am a girl and shaving under my arms irritates the crap out of it and burns, I tried to use nair instead of shaving and it burns even more. I honestly do not know what to do."


"Well, the Ella tablet worked for me, but that’s pretty much the only reason why I’m giving it any stars. The side effects were HORRIBLE. Absolutely horrible.

I felt fine the first day I took it, but days 2-5 were a mess. I believe it has such horrible side effects because it is comprised of the same chemical structure as the abortion pill, it just acts on your ovaries instead of the endometrium. My ovaries HURT. I felt a pulling sensation on my uterus the entire time which made it extremely hard to sleep. I got all of the same symptoms that I did when I was pregnant last year- fatigue, nausea, aversion to smells, loss of appetite, sore boobs, v painful uterus, numbness in legs and feet, dizziness. I also kept missing turns and exits while driving, which I never do- especially in my own town.

I felt like I was dying with the flu the whole time the medication was active in my system, and then suddenly, at 2am on day 6, all of my symptoms spontaneously ended in an instant. It was really strange. But I have a giant ovarian cyst now along with my period. I’m never taking this med again. I have taken Plan B in the past with no issues."


"My experience is that I experienced arthritic symptoms in my joints.  In particular my top finger joints where red knobs appeared and I experienced pain and sometimes itching.  I also experienced pain in my achillies tendon and weakness in legs"


"This medicine is absolutely awful. I took it after surgery because I was constipated from pain medication. I ended up being in bed for a whole day and I couldn't move without throwing up. I thought it must be from the surgery. I got better and took another laxative a couple days later. Within an hour, I was having horrible diarrhea and vomiting. Totally not worth it. Geez. Horrible medicine."


"Started on LUVOX (brand name) in '96.  LUVOX (brand name) is not made anymore.  Switched to generic flumoxomine (Apotex brand in 2000. )  Worked great.  Stopped working COLD as of late 2013.  Wrote FDA, Solvay tested my prescription, said nothing wrong.  All the other generic fluvoxamines (5) I've tried are worthless.  Apotex must have changed its composition of the drug ie. filling, binder ingrediants. Filed reports with FDA & Solvay (parent of Apotex)  Solvay wrote back, "Nothing is wrong." Drug is totally ineffective on me now, as are all the other fluvoxomine generics I've tried. Only side effect was a bit of drowsiness.  Have had to abandon taking this drug, and am in the midst of trying other drugs."


"Arava worked great for me for about 2 1/2 months.  My pain and stiffness was much, much improved.  Unfortunately I developed a severe rash and had to take the medication to remove it from my system as quickly as possible.  Had it not been for the rash I would still be on it."


"It is so effective anyone can try it"


"I have been Psoriasis free for 2 years because of Humira...for that I am grateful, but I also have to live with Shingles (side effect.  You have to take the good with the bad!)"


"I have constipation due to irritable bowel syndrome. After using many other laxatives that helped for awhile, Miralax( Restoralax in Canada) is the only one that has helped me have a regular bowel movement every morning without cramps, gas and bloating.  I've been using it for about 6 weeks with no side effects.  I take Restoralax every mid-afternoon and drink lots of water all day."


"I contracted the disease thanks to my then-boyfriend, whose whole family, including himself, got them. I tried everything to make them go away - Carmex, Campho-Phenique (which was just ridiculous), even ice.  Nothing worked.  My then - boyfriend finally got a prescription for Denavir, which only worked once. It helped heal the cold sores, but never prevented them. Valtrex was prescribed to me and I never got them. "


"I get recurrent bouts of cystitis and am resistant to trimethoprim and penicillins, so my doctor prescribes nitrofurantoin. It is normally effective around 48-72 hours into the course, but I do find that despite taking the pills with food, I do get very nauseous. I can cope with that better than I can cope with a urinary tract infection, though!"


"I've had Skyla for a little over a year now. For the most part, I love it...But, yes there's a but, it has been freaking me out lately. About 6 months ago, I started getting random "contractions" as I would call them (ive never had a baby, but yes I'm comparing the pain to them). I get random PAINFUL cramping that lasts about 10 seconds off and on. Enough to put my on my knees. Not every day, and not when I'm on my period (normal cramping during that time). This pain comes and goes as pleases. I have debated having it removed, but it is my only DEPENDABLE method of birth control that I'm willing to use."


"My first shot was July 16, 2013, the last shot was March 24, 2014. Four shots total and in that time I had some type of vaginal discharge every month. I wore some type of pantyliner or pad everyday during this time because I never knew if I would have a period. The bleeding wasn't always heavy, but I bled enough that I became iron deficient anemic.  I did experience larger than normal clots some months. I wanted to try the full year to see if my periods would ever stop, but the lack of iron made me get off Depo."


"I Watson NuvaRing for 1 year 2 months and now I am writing this review because I am currently in a hospital with blood clots in my lungs. I won't know if the NuvaRing is the definitely blame for this until tomorrow but its most likely. As far as preventing pregnancy, the product works well. As far ad comfort, I give it a 9. Unfortunately, this is one if the risks that occurs with taking any birth control. So I want to say be careful. Any changes in your body, please report them to you obgyn. I had chest pain and thought I pulled a muscle. Thank goodness I followed my instincts and went to the ER. These blood clots could of traveled to my heart."


"I bought the 3 day cream to treat an extremely mild yeast infection.  Immediately after inserting the medicine, the area felt like it was on fire! Thinking it was the yeast infection getting worse, I did the second dose. Once again, the  burning was intense and I couldn't sleep.  The box says "mild increase in vaginal burning and itching may occur".  What it should of said is " It will feel like fire burning for hours and intense itching most likely will occur".

I'd rather put up with a yeast infection than use this stuff ever again."


"My 11 year old son just started taking Vyvanse 1 month ago and I can already see the differences in his grades. He would study and do homework all week and not retain any of the information and fail test after test. Since starting Vyvanse he has passed 3 tests. I wish I would have started him on it earlier. Downside - upset stomach if I dont make him eat right after taking it. So on our way out the door we have a vyvanese and a Trail Mix bar to coat the stomach. He gets a full 7 hours."


"Suprep was absolutely wonderful! I added ginger ale with the solution and water. After taking the first dose at 6:00pm used the restroom for 1-1/2hrs, was able to sleep without interuptions. Second dose at 4:00am was also great, was able to sleep  1-1/2 hrs also. The Colonoscoby was a great procedure. I oped out on the anesthesiologist, I felt no need to pay two MD's.  I had Versed and Fentanyl in the Ivy, it worked great. I was anxious and nervous,  I wanted to reschedule the procedure do to my anxiety. But I didn't, if I can do it so can you. Good luck God Bless."


"I started this medicine just last week and have already had a complete personality change for the better. I didn't even realize how bad my depression was until I got rid of it. I didn't think any medication would work, let alone so quickly. This medication has planted the seed of a thought in my head: there is always hope!"


"It made my bi polar disorder worse, I had bad ringing in my ears also my heart rate increased. But it wasn't  worse then when my hallucinations got so much worse then they already are."


"Helped stop hallucinations."


"This birth control is effective, but symptoms that come along with it is very frustrating. I have had periods inconsistently since it was inserted in February. First, my period went away for a month. Then it came back, heavy, for 3 weeks. Then it left for another 3 weeks, then came back again, and continued to do so relatively regularly for 3 months. After that, everything went to trash. ALL of June I bled heavily and sometimes lightly. Then my period took 3 days off, and then ALL of July I had a period. Then it went away for a week in August, came back for a few days, then left for 2 weeks. Since mid September, I have had a period EVERY DAY. I won't even get started on the hormones affects on your mental state and emotional highs and lows."


"Worked okay but caused fainting spells. Coming off of it (tapering, per doctor'said orders) was terrible. I've been told more than once that the way I felt sounded like a heroin addict coming off heroin. I was sick to my stomach,  my entire body was in constant pain, every joint and muscle, headaches, I felt cold one minute and burning up the next, exhausted but couldn't sleep, nightmares when I could catch a few minutes  and periods of wishing someone would just put me out of my misery. This drug  is dangerous! Imagine if someone ran out and couldn't taper off. "


"I'm 43 years old, I started noticing that I could get hard for a good 30 minutes, but after that ED would make my life miserable.  I wasn't able to ejaculate, so I went to the doctor.  He said I am in perfect health, that I was kind of young for ED, but he's seen younger men with the issue.  He prescribed the 5mg pills (I had a voucher for a free trial of 30 pills).  It is so hard to describe how a man feels when he gets his confidence back.  I was rock hard, and my wife - well, let's just say she loved the test drive!  I don't want to get too sexual, but I've never ejaculated as much as I did - ever.  I feel like I am 18 again, in the prime of my life and I cant wait to be with my wife again!  Very happy."


"I recently started my second pack and I couldn't be happier! I had taken 2 different kinds of birth control in the past and they made my vagina very dry and had no desire for sex. With this medication I'm wet and in the mood for sex. I haven't had any side effects except for mood swings for the first 3 days. I would strongly recommend Lo Loestrin Fe."


"I am on a five day dose of Levaquin and it's working, but I think that I may need to take it a little longer. I had a really bad case of sinusitis and I can say it was worth it."


"It works. But as soon as I stop taking this.. little bumps on my hands always comes back. Still struggling with this and I don't know what to do?? I had use virgin coconut oil but nothing worked..
Any one can help please"


"So far so good minor side effects that are tolerable.. A little itching some flashing but not bad at all compared to side effects of avonex which I lasted 3 months on."


"I have had atopic Dermatitis my whole life since I was 10 months old going on 55 years living with this awful condition. I've have been on everything from prednisone for 2 years straight to cyclosporine to methotrexate... heavy duty stuff... I now have Lupus and arthritis so going to give this a shot, but apprehensive. I put it on at 9:53, after about 3 minutes notice a little tingle nothing too uncomfortable. I mean what's worse, the pain of the condition day in and day out vs if something actually works. Will post in a couple of days... also thinking about Dupixent next."


"Worse birth control ever. It is good at preventing pregnancy for three years but The bleeding never stops you bleed from the time you had it up until the day you get it removed I know the point is to prevent pregnancy but come on now no one wants to bleed every day and it is an embarrassing thing to go through dating and while you're in  a relationship"


"Great."


"I was prescribed six 500mg Cipro pills for a suspected UTI, to be taken over three days.  Cipro caused me to lose my appetite."


"Best medicine I ever seen."


"I'm really happy with the NuvaRing. I used to get awful PMS, terrible cramps, and ovarian cysts that would land me in the hospital. I used to think it was my Crohn's flaring, but by the time I got to the hospital-I would get my period. The pain was so severe. My periods were never regular since I was 14: I'm 28 now. I would get so emotional, moody, and scared all the time, because I never knew when it was coming. After coming across a fantastic OBGYN, she decided to put me on the ring. It's great! My periods are REGULAR. I did gain a little weight, but I figure its normal because of the hormones. It's a little tricky to get inside-patience is key. I'd like to go on a hormonal IUD, but this is working so well. I'm afraid to try anything else"


"Very bad sore throat, cough and terrible headache. Lisinopril did the same thing.  Micardis worked better but very expensive."


"This is amazing! I've been struggling with motion sickness, and its gotten worse as I got older. I took this on a 3 hour drive to San Diego and 3 hour drive back, and I was feeling better than ever! It seems to help with anxiety as well, I forgot how it felt to just be normal. I'm always nauseous, so its a refreshing feeling to not feel anything on the drive. I don't get sleepy that easily so the drowsiness doesn't kick in til later, but this is amazing I recommend. Its good to have trust with a medication because it'll ease your mind on the trip you're going to take, and thats what I have with dramamine."


"Having burning tongue syndrome is very rare and it feels like you have an electric cable attached to your tongue.  After 3 years and 14 doctors and about 20 different medicines not to mention brain surgery NOTHING worked. One day I had a panic attack and the emergency room doctor prescribed Xanax.  It took me week and half to try it but the result was immediate. For 1st time in years I feel like living again."


"I have a disc protrusion at c4-5 and c5-6 which causes a narrowing in the foriminal which causes nerve root pain.  In May of 2009 I was in excruciating pain and through the advice of my chiropractor he suggested that I mention to my spine specialist the medication Celebrex.  My specialist said let's give it a try, and WOW what a miracle.  I went from extreme pain, I wasn't even able to sleep on my left side, couldn't walk due to pain running down from my shoulder to my left thumb.  I couldn't even bend to shave my legs.  Well other than a little stomach irritation in the beginning, I have little to no pain. My insurance picks up the price of the medicine with me having to pay a nominal copay of $45.00.  I can now exercise, ride my bike."


"I started taking fluoxetine after running through a lot of SSRIs. My Obsessive Compulsive Disorder was so severe it was debilitating. I tried Zoloft and Seroquel as well as, Luvox and Anafranil (Anafranil awful side effects). After taking 300 mg of Zoloft and just not feeling right I went to my doctor and we switched to fluoxetine. I WAS 100 PERCENT better in 5 days. This saved my life. However, please be patient it may take some trial and error to find the right medicine for you. Don't give up, keep at it."


"It is the only anxiety medication I have found with any legitimate effect for me."


"It seems now to not be working as well with my depression as it did 2 1/2 months ago. My psych upped the dose from 3 mg. to 6 about 8 days ago

and I still feel depressed.  Has anyone else experienced Vraylar pooping out on them?"


"Nexium has been very effective in resolving my Acid Reflux. I have been taking the medication for over five years, and now have to stop the medication. My bone density test showed third statistical deviation (3T) which reports that I have osteoporosis. I have been taking calcium and supplements with exercise for almost all my life, and it's hard to believe I have this disease. Nexium blocks the absorption by the body, thus the problem."


"Very effective. I feel human again. Sometimes you don't realize how far gone you are until you're better. No side effects other than weight gain which can be managed with a proper diet. I feel 100%. I'm also on Lithium, buspar, lexapro, and the Seroquel is 200mg. Seroquel really feels like it made the difference or topped it off."


"I've tried sertraline, amitriptyline and trazodone for depression and anxiety in the past, but none helped my anxiety as much as this. I was told I couldn't use other anxiety meds because I have low blood pressure, but I can use pregablin. It has helped tremendously. I still have panic attacks but instead of many times daily, it's the odd one here and there when something has particularly stressed me out. It doesn't take away the anxiety completely,  it's still there and I have really bad days still and it doesn't help depression, but it's much more manageable than before, likewise my OCD isn't as bad either. The only side effect I experience is weird dreams, insomnia and poor memory/memory loss. I recommend!!!"


"Within 3 weeks of taking this medication I found a significant difference it my mood.  I felt overall happier and more at peace like I remember my best self!  Before I had trouble with not being happy or excited about anything (other than sex).  There were sexual side effects for the first month.  The medication has evened out and it no longer affects this aspect.  I have noticed that I get bad headaches every month or so.  I'm not sure if this is part of the medicines side effect or another issue.  I would definitely suggest giving it a try to ease depression and general anxiety.  It hasn't helped my energy level, but I am able to work out or run and I normally would.  I have been taking the medication for 2 months at a 30 mg dose."


"Maxalt almost always gets rid of my migraine with one pill. It does make me sleepy so I take it near bedtime. When I wake up, I am groggy for up to 6 hours. That is the only side effect I have experienced. If I am having what I call a migraine marathon (up to five days) I alternate taking Maxalt and Imitrex."


"I came down with the flu TYPE B a local clinic wrote me a prescription. The Dr told me it wouldn't make me feel better but rather shorten the duration. I figured might as well try it. I've stopped after 3 doses - awful diarrhea and nausea. I'd rather let nature take its course than go through what I have for the last 10 hours."


"I am 38 female ..I have had a very hard time finding a med. that really worked..I was starting to think that I just had to accept that this was now my life and Deal with the it..i had lost my happy dwelled in past...but Brintellix :) :) yay! i feel brighter..hopeful..i can think if the future without dread...more energy and mph..just more me..very little..almost no side effects first day a lil upset stomach..but not bad..I hate that i have to take something to feel normal however i am so grateful this medication is available and that i am now on it. God bless I hope you all find what you need."


"I had been on Latuda for two months.  Great medicine except I had severe muscle weakness."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I am from Panama. I am very please with this treatment. I use to suffer from diarrhea every moring after breakfast and reflux at evening. I have been using these treatment for 4 weeks and I feel fine now. I am using Peptobismol every time I take the pills and yoghurt in between and it avoid the secondary effects. The metallic taste is present every day but  I can live with it. Sorry of my english."


"I have a love and hate relationship with the zovia 1/35 birth control pill. Back when I was younger in my teen years even early 20s it worked amazing. No weight gain at all. I stopped taking it for a few years when I started my family and now 10 years later decided to get back on it. Let me just say, weight gain! I don't blame the pill 100% but I feel like you have got to be prepared for how hungry this pill makes you! So you will be hungrier than usual and eat more and hence gain weight on it. Its getting out of control, I have decided to stop this month."


"My anxiety came out of the blue.  I had been suffering from depression and waited until I was close to rock bottom before seeing a psychiatrist.  He put me on Zoloft and for about 10 days I convinced myself it was all getting better...then WHAM! I started waking up with panic that was overtaking my entire body! I took Xanax just to go to sleep for an hour.  A counselor tried to get me to do breathing and muscle relaxation exercises but I was too anxious to concentrate.  I had to take off work because I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT FUNCTION! My Psychiatrist just put me on Klonopin 1mg 3x a day.  That's a lot but hopefully I can taper off soon & the Zoloft can do it's job. I can now think clearly and not panic at the simple thought of bathing!"


"I was on this medication 8 months ago. The first three months were okay, no obvious side effects. After a problem at the pharmacy I didn't have access for 3 weeks and then continued on it for another 3 months and I am having the bad abdominal pain and sweeping yet again. This time it feels like a radiating infection type of pain. Sharp pains in te front where I suspect my bladder is. I am now having this bloody mucus instead of bowel movements, I have also been experiencing hair loss in great amounts during showers. This medication seems to work at first and then begins to wreck havoc in other areas after extended use. I am on a strict IC diet so I know that that is not the contributing factor."


"I took this for tics and ADHD.  I went up to 3 mg a day and felt horrible. Very tired and body aches. It helps somewhat with nervous tics but not that great and side effects were bad. I quit it after 1 week at 3mg. And I am 200 lb man and it still was too much for me. The 1 mg and 2 my doses didn't really do anything positive or negative."


"This is a wonderful drug for anxiety. I received immediate help...20 years ago! Since my initial dosage of 0.5 mg/day increased to 4 mg/day. This drug almost ruined my life and marriage. I became completely oblivious to my surroundings and to the people close to me. I did not know what was happening. Fortunately my wife pointed out to me how damaging Clonazepam had become. Beware: The withdrawal side effects are far worse than the original problems I started taking the drug for. It's ironic that the withdrawal side effects mimic what I was being treated for: anxiety, head/neck brain "zaps", inability to sleep, inability to care, complete detachment from my surroundings, etc. This drug should not be used long term. Withdrawal: Very slow."


"Have been taking an 8mg dose pre-bedtime for the past 5 days. Symptoms of weak flow and seemingly incomplete voiding improved markedly within 24 hours. Only, though significant, side effect is retrograde ejaculation, of which I had been forewarned, but had never been previously aware. Doesn't seem to make a great difference to the sensual experience while providing built-in birth control!"


"I tried many other medications without help. I was so depressed and anxious I could not live my life. Pristiq is the the only thing that has helped. I am living life now with out being in a deep depression and without anxiety. The only problem is I have gained 30 pounds since starting Pristiq a year ago. I do work out, but I still gain weight. I hate the weight gain, but like living my life now."


"Honestly don't give up on this cream,
i had acne since I was 13 years old, trying all sorts to clear my skin but nothing worked so i just dealt with it every day covering myself in make up. I'm now 21 and my skin  is as clear as it has ever been, I started to use this cream 6 months ago but after 2 weeks on  it I broke out in spots even more and my skin started to peel to the point I couldn't even touch my face cause it hurt so I gave up the cream for a few weeks but then decided to read some reviews and I took on advice of what people were saying to stick to it. I went back to the doctors got the cream again, 3 months on the redness/peeling stopped and skin is clear, I no longer wear make up and feel confident! STICK IT OUT!"


"So, Macrobid can certainly have some uncomfortable side effects. Most of these are preventable/treatable with headache pills, taking it with lots of food, and probiotics. If you are allergic, that is not the fault of the medicine, nor is it yours. That's just the way the cards were dealt.

Macrobid, or nitrofurantoin, is very good for UTI treatment and the methods it does so makes bacteria unlikely to build resistance to it. Macrobid should be the first option before general antibiotics for this reason.

Macrobid works very well and usually is taken twice daily (breakfast, dinner). For me, I had fatigue and headaches but they left after two days. After that, I felt fine for the remaining 8 days. And it worked!"


"I took 10 mg. of Farxiga daily for about 8 months.  The good news was that I did not suffer any negative side effects, other than a slight increase in frequency of urination.  The bad news is that after 8 months use, Farxiga did NOT lower my blood glucose - my A1C levels went up, in fact, during that time period.  And Farxiga did not help reduce my weight.  My endocrinologist suggested I stop taking this med, and I did."


"Had Crohn's/Colitis for years, been on Asacol for the past 16 years, started with three pills three times daily for almost a year, then 3 tablets twice daily with breakfast and dinner. Still have few flares, but otherwise decent.  NO side effects."


"I suffer from daily migraines and usually have to take Maxalt once or twice a day and 600mg of Advil to help relieve pain. I was looking for an alternative so I don't run out of Maxalt since I take it at least 5 times a week and only get 9 pills a month. I've extended the life of them by receiving a 10mg prescription and cutting them in half. Either way, I tried Excedrin Migraine today to relieve the onset of a Migraine - I thought if I caught it early enough that the medication JUST might work. I might as well have eaten a bag of skittles. This did nothing to stop my migraine, it only sped up my HR so I couldn't rest and felt jittery for hours on end. I ended up having to take a Maxalt anyway. This is clearly not an option for me."


"I ignored my doctor for months when he wrote this prescription. I finally started it after an eye doctor lectured me because I was seeing him for an immune response eye infection. He gave me a good talking to and agree with rheumatologist that I do in fact have the Sjogren's. So I started it and I can't believe I wasted those months not taking it! It is the only thing that has helped me! The only issue I have is I have been on 200mg 2 tablets twice day for about 6 months, and now they decreased it to 1 tablet twice a day. I'm a little nervous of the decrease because I don't want all that pain back!"


"My GP prescribed this for anxiety. I took one 50mg pill at around 3pm and feel asleep until about 9pm. I stayed up an hour or two (don't really recall, I was very woozy) and fell *back* asleep until 11am the next day. I was groggy all day and a bit so even into the next day. I am scared to take this during the day if I'm having anxiety. I have insomnia and want to try it as a sleep aid, just not if I'm going to sleep and feel groggy for so long. I'll update if I try it."


"I have been on this product for 2 years now. Its very very effective. It is the only form of birth control I've used for two years and no babies. The downfalls are: mood swings a week before period begins (unreasonably sad with no reasons whatsoever), irregular bleeding (no idea when it will come,  brown at beginning then heavy), long lasting periods (like a month), and when it was inserted my doctor hit a vital nerve causing me to faint. Ever since the implanted area has nerve damage and can cause my arm to go numb if I hold it in a certain position. I can also feel my nerve damage whenever I'm on my period (maybe the hormone interacting with my nerves)."


"Took next choice, didn't work. Not only did my pregnancy test come out positive but I now have a little bundle of joy to confirm that it did not work."


"I've been taking Topamax (brand) for approximately ten years.  Due to severe migraines this was the only medication to prevent what had been dabilitating headaches, nausea & vomiting, sensitivity to light, smell, sound, movement, and dizziness. After several years, my insurance refused to continue payment of the brand until I tried the generic tablets.  After 3 days, the original symptoms returned.  They finally approved continued payment of brand and now two years later they again have refused to cover (pay) for medication although it falls under the plan.  For three months, my neurologist and I have issued appeals with no clear explanation of the denial. I would just like to again take meds to rid myself of this pain."


"I was depressed, (no motivation, lack of pleasure) for a full year before trying Cymbalta. It  made me feel like my old happy self again. Works very well for me, a cure for my depression."


"I also have taken many muscle relaxants, including soma. When my doctor suggested this medicine to me I made sure that it was not a narcotic and habit forming. It is not. This is really been a blessing for me. Still makes me sleepy, but if taken with food wow it works!"


"After taking this several weeks I began smelling smoke..It was almost unbearable.  After several more weeks searching for an answer. I discovered other people who had experienced smelling smoke and traced it to a chemical/ mineral (?)  Di-calcium chloride,  or phrosphoric acid or magnesium phosphate. .. there are many names for this compound..  It keeps product from seperating  like; nut butters, orange juice , frappicinos,  over the counter drugs ,liquid vitamins ( sublingual B12 my experience). In Amlodipine the  insert very fine print smelling smoke was listed as  a side effect.   It  took more than 4 weeks after quitting   before the smoke smell left me.  But for this side effect I was pleased with its effectiveness."


"Acne at 29 and now going on 2 weeks of a heavy period."


"I used the $25.00 "Care Card" for the allowed 2 months.  My face cleared up completely, with no side effects.  I was told my 3rd refill would cost $440.00 per month, so I had to stop taking it.  "


"My 4 month old baby boy has used this for a week and within 2 days of use, I noticed a big improvement in his skin. It had become soft again not so dry and rough. The only problem is he screams every time we put it on him so its more like stinging for the first 10 - 15 min, rather then tingling as listed in side effects."


"Been on trulicity for 4 months.  Seem to tolerate it very well, infrequent bouts of diarrhea,  some stomach upset but no episodes of throwing up.  Does not seem to handle carbs well, but minor carbacious meals will do better,   I supplement with about 40 units of Lantus insulin to help the A1c.  I will also do some occasional use of humolog if sugar is too high before next meal or arising in the morning. I have had about 7 pounds of weight loss."


"Alesse was the first type of birth control I've ever taken and I experienced many negative side effects. When I first started it, I had severe back pain, headaches,  and mood swings. After a week or two these symptoms subsided but I began to feel depressed--this feeling went on for about a month and worsened whenever I drank alcohol. In total, I was on this pill for two cycles before I decided to switch. That being said, everyone is different! If Alesse doesn't work for you, there are probably others that will."


"Did not help my OIC at all. In my opinion it is no better than an otc stool softener."


"Today is my 3rd day on medication. I was prescribed it for social anxiety (despite being a beautiful 6'2 male with no reason to be anxious about appearance) generalized anxiety and panic attacks. Talking to people in malls, convenience stores and being around large groups of people frighten me. I havent noticed much of a difference other than lack of sleep, crazy amazing lucid dreams for the first two nights and my jaw clenching. So far no effect on anxiety and took a benzo because Im feeling restless but still feeling restless right now. I pray this works as Im unable to work now due to my anxiety. Ive always had anxiety but after having mono for 2 months it has spiraled completely out of control. I will update this soon. Please work!"


"I have fibromyalgia so I wake up in pain this allows me to rest. "


"Helped me breathe the first day of use, with no side effects."


"I have had only two shots and have horrible mood swings, I'm ALWAYS angry or upset at something and I've lost all desire for sex putting a strain on my relationship. The only thing good I can say is not having to remember to take a pill."


"I have been on Pristiq for 2 months now.  I have past digestive problems, so when I was diagnosed with Major Depressive and Panic Attacks, I was very hesitant to try any medications, especially with nausea and constipation side effects.  Within two days, I felt tired but things began to seem not so overwhelming.  Within a week, I was able to cautiously get back into work and life, and now, I have had only one panic attack, and have had nothing other than a headache if I don't take it on time.  My energy levels returned within one week, and sex drive within two weeks.  I have even lost 10 lbs.  I never realized how bad depression was until I began to see colors again, smiling, and everyone kept asking me if I had grown and lost weight."


"Stopped the buring sensation that comes with UTI when urinating. Unfortunately, this did not cure my UTI at all. Got really horrible side effects too."


"I have had high blood pressure for years and have just started a medicine routine. I tried Zestril and had great results but did not like the cough. So, my doctor switched me to Cozaar. This makes me cough, makes me tired, dizzy, and constipated."


"I was on the Depo injections for around 2 years during Uni, having previously been on the Microgynon pill. In many ways, it was perfect for me- it completely stopped my periods, which was so convenient, and I had no cramps or pain at all. The problem was, my skin gradually got worse and worse, and stupidly at the time, I didn't put it down to the Depo. I had always had mild acne, but the Depo made it so much worse and just constant. Finally, I was taken off Depo due to possible bone density issues for long-term use (over 2 years), and switched to Yasmin, which cleared my skin up completely! I know other people who had Depo and it didn't affect their skin at all, so I think it depends on your hormones personally. As BC alone it was ideal!"


"I was given this medication several years ago in an attempt to reduce migraines. I began using the lowest prescribed dose, as instructed by my physician. On the 3rd night, 3-4 hours after taking my 3rd dose, I woke out of a sound sleep with tachycardia (fast heart rate). I didn't know what was up. To "calm down" I took a shower. By afternoon of that day, I knew that it was the medication. I had pressure in my head, tachycardia, nausea. This is about the worst I have ever felt. Needless to say, I had to discontinue Topamax immediately. I long for the day when medications can be chosen based on genetic coding information. For many people, Topamax is a God-send; but not for me."


"Very good results.  My skin has not looked this good in a very long time."


"Tried Viibryd about 3 years ago after trying several other anti-depressants over many years, with very little long-term benefit from any of them (Prozac, Lexapro...) After being on it for about 2 months, I forgot to take it one night, and had the worst nightmare of my life; the impact was more like a vision or prophesy. Decided after that to wean myself off, and cut pills in half. For each time I cut the dose, there was another horrendous nightmare. Was very relieved to be done with it."


"Nothing for 10 days or so, then no appetite at all.  Started exercising, feeling better about myself (it's a mood enhancer), and lost 20 pounds in 35 days.  Side effects are dry mouth, slight forgetfulness and possibly some tinnitus, but that's it.  Really working well for me!  Get the free trial from Belviq then their discount card after that.  I love the minor side effects, Phentermine and Topamax were just awful, Topamax the worst.  Phentermine is great if you want to feel like a character in "Breaking Bad.""


"I had great success at doses of 200-400mg. Anything above that and I black out an hour after taking it. I found out later I had been writing belligerent texts, yelling at my children, and verbally abusing my wife. Im going to ask for 300mg since it helped my insomnia, and made me content and happy the next day.  All without the horrible side effects listed above.  I have tried Geodon, it gave me severe tachycardia, and yet made me too tired to function. A horrible inescapable feeling as the tachycardia made sleep impossible. Zyprexa just made me fat and gave me restless legs so bad I couldn't sleep. Seroquel is best by far, but have your loved ones monitor you."


"Began in April with viral over 1 million CD4 was 109. As of May viral load 606 and CD4 is 265. I've got ways to go. No side effects at first but only side effects to complain of now are slight nausea, headache and slight diarrhea."


"I administered these drops twice a day for 2 days. I experienced the stinging and blurriness and metal taste in mouth, but that went away after about 20 min. On the third day, it left my right eye SO SO blurred. Again, blurriness is a side effect, but it did not go away. I am on day 4 that I can't see out of my right eye. It's extremely blurry, and scary seeing as I've had both my eyes for all my life. The doctor said it's an allergic reaction, and gave me artificial tears to "flush out" the xiidra. Basically it's a waiting game on my vision to come back. I will be in and out of my doctor's office until I get some improvement.

I guess just beware and see if there's anything milder to try first."


"Only been on this for a few days for menopause symptoms & it is brutal.
My doctor told me to take it at night as it may cause drowsiness but it kept me awake all night.
The hot flushes were more frequent & worse & I'd nausea & diarrhea.
And made me very anxious, something I never had in my life.
I'd advise extreme caution using this drug & it also meant to be extremely hard to wean off from."


"37.5mg makes life liveable again. The experience of missing a dose is not fun. Otherwise, this drug saved my marriage and my job."


"Just switched from the patch, so far good. I love it, don't know it's there, can't feel it during sex, easy and simple. "


"I have used it successfully after not having luck with Atacand after many years of being on that. I have had no ill side effects to speak of. I am  very pleased. Although it is a bit pricey."


"I have been taken Ritalin for about 3 months and it gives me a boost from being sleepy for about a hour. After that I become very tired and sleepy. Maybe I should up my dosage."


"This cream is one of the most painful and agonising treatments I have ever received however if you are willing to put up with insatiable itching, burning, feeling like you have flu and being unable to catch your breath it is 100% worth it. For me, the few months of pain are worth it to get rid of the embarrassment and self disgust at having gw. I'm just starting to recover from the treatment and have gone from maybe 30 to around 5 tiny ones (I have an immunity disorder so was unable to fight the virus myself and it spread so quickly). Fantastic treatment, absolute agony but well worth it if you can put up with it."


"Tried 3 milligrams of Lunesta did not work at all to help me sleep. But right now I am suffering from extreme anxiety and depression. And have other health issues and a ton of stuff on my mind. I also just tried Ambien ER last night and it did not work either. In the past couple years ago I did take Ambien and it worked to make me sleep but after taking 4 a week or so made my anxiety and depression worse.  Be careful if you suffer from depression taking this medication is what I found out. I only recently tried to take sleeping pills again out of desperation as I have developed some bad stomach problems and possibly my pancreatitis flaring up and have been off of work for 2 months on workman's comp worried about losing my house and my healt"


"Can't tolerate stimulants, so only choice was non-stimulant medication.  It does work, and I've definitely noticed a difference.  First couple of days I'd get real sick for a couple of hours, pretty nauseated.  But that went away after a while.  For the first two months, I rarely felt hungry, I dropped 15 pounds, but my mouth was always dry, and I was drinking liters upon liters of water every day.  Still some problems "downstairs", if you know what I mean.  Makes me pretty sleepy, so I usually take it right before I turn in for the day.  But honestly, even with all the side effects, it works well enough that I do continue to take it."


"I had Botox injected about 4 weeks ago now. I had more of an urge to go post injection; however I was unable to empty bladder. Still 4 weeks later I'm pushing to go. I've been to ER (drained me w catheter) and urologist who say I have a normal amount of urine left but I don't feel that way. Spend night in pain and days pushing to go. Also constipated almost three weeks no matter how many laxatives I take. Can't wait for it to wear off I'm 26 & miserable. Wish I never did it."


"I would never have a reclast infusion again. Felt OK for a couple of weeks and thought I had missed all the problems people reported from it.  After that my joints all started hurting and hurt for about 6 weeks. I felt so bad I didn't feel like doing anything, just sitting in a recliner hurt. It started to get some better and then my jaw started to hurt, it even made my teeth hurt on that side. I could hardly chew. It has slowly gotten better, but still hurts some, but has taken 6 months to finally start to feel like normal.. Will not do that again...."


"I have never experienced such pain or debilitation in all of my life. It has been three weeks, and I am still limping. I cannot sit, stand, or walk for any length of time. Had I known this level of pain was a possible side effect, I would not have used the drug. This goes beyond the usual injection site redness, this goes into swelling of the knee joint, pain up and down the leg, as well as the leg is feverish.  If anyone ever asks me about this or any other type of injection using this formula, I will tell them to really make sure there aren't other options before risking this kind of pain."


"I was taking metformin for 7 years. Doc added januvia as a1c was climbing.  It did not work at all. Moved  to invokana and had immediate results.   Blood levels now normal and lowest in 7 years. Losing weight too.  Some thirst issues but not serious.   Fast level 110  after meal 140.  Only problem:  IT IS EXPENSIVE."


"I'm taking Phentermine 30mg capsule, 3mths only per morrow makes 3wks & I lost 10lbs. I eat smaller portions of my normal foods, like a 1/4 of what i used to eat. I only eat dinner, No breakfast, occasional turkey/cheese sandwich for lunch, night dessert a pudding cup or something similar. My appetite decreased ALOT however some days I feel it doesn't work as well as others, I'll find myself hungrier than usual & craving sweets. I haven't done any exercising but i plan to start to increase weight loss. Wk1 I had lots of energy, wk2 energy level died down, but at least I'm not as tired as I used to be. Insomnia has gotten better, 1 nt I stayed up All Night & went to bed @ 10am nxt day! Uggh what a nt. Never had high BP but now I do."


"I've had Skyla for 8 days now. I didn't take any painkillers, and I'd say my insertion was the most bizarre pain I've ever felt. However, I think I have a pretty high pain tolerance in general, so I was able to suck it up with only a few squeaks of discomfort.

The first day, my cramps were moderately painful. The next day, I felt great. The rest of the week, I would have a cramp or two, but they were light and subsided pretty quickly. I spotted on the first day and a few other non-consecutive days thoughout the week. Nothing too terrible.

I got my IUD inserted before my period was due, but since insertion, I haven't gotten it. It's 4 days late, but Skyla makes periods irregular, so I'll just have to wait to find out when it gets here!"


"DO NOT take benzos for insomnia - they work great, until you reach tolerance, and then you go into full withdrawal unless you up the dose considerably.

By then you probably will have already found the dirty underside of this terrible drug, which is agoraphobia, brutal insomnia, loss of motivation and stunning depression. Next, you'll find out that you cannot withdraw from this drug in a reasonable manner, and the required tapering-off methods could take years. During withdrawal you will have the worst insomnia imaginable, for months on end, and nothing will relieve it, except more benzos than any doctor will prescribe.

Don't even start on this evil drug. If you think this is an overreaction, Google "benzodiazepine withdrawal"."
