"On June 1, 2009 I began taking Chantix. The only side effect I had were the dreams, but they were't scary, just very vivid. In fact I liked th edreams so much I didn't want to wake up! I started smoking when I was 12 and in 2009 I was 54 years old. I was a smoker for 42 years and a two pack a day smoker for at least 20. Never-the-less, Chantix worked for me and I haven't had a single craving since I stopped taking it. I took it for the full 3 months even though I didn't feel I needed to, I just wanted to make sure I got the full benefit. If I can quite on Chantix, you can too! I wish I'd replaced it right away with healthy habits like exercise, but it took me a while to that. I fell healthier at 61 than I did at 21 which says a lot.  Good l"


"I'm 58 and have Osteoarthritis in both knees but have moderate pain in my right knee.  My Ortho Doctor recommended the typical 3 weekly injections for the right knee and said realistically they were around 50% effective.  I just finished the third injection yesterday and went from a 3-4 pain level to zero pain.  I can now walk normally without  limp.  Wow ..... what a difference!  The injections were not painful, just a little pressure and took around 1 - 2 minutes to complete.  I highly recommend to try at least the first injection.  If there's no relief, don't bother with the remaining.  Fortunately insurance covered all but $50 for the Orthovisc prescription plus my office co-pay.  Can't wait to get back to a good exercise routine."


"I was prescribed Lortabs and Soma for a year after a wreck, I couldn't function without them. I was given Suboxone and after day 2 I had no urge for the drugs. I guess it varies from person to person but it really worked for me."


"I took wellbutrin to help with motivation and energy, which were major sources of my depression. The first two weeks were absolutely terrible. The only side effect I had was night sweating, and it was so bad that I got no sleep every night. I would fall asleep and wake up covered in so much sweat there would be pools of water on my chest. Had to wear clothes from head to toe and sleep on a towel.

After that it worked fine. However, it didn't really help with the motivation. It gave me more energy, but didn't allow me to use it for anything. That ended up increasing my anxiety. However during this period I did not experience a single side effect other than occasional chest pain which was probably from the anxiety/stress anyways."


"Urticaria:-
I m 34 yrs old Indian male and working in UAE for past 3 yrs. Suddenly one day I developed hives and swelling on my lip then consulted a dermatologist and started to live with antihistamine tablet called Lezine.  All three reports blood, urine and stool were normal But these hives used to come in my body almost once in a month but they were not severe once. It used to be on thighs,legs and shoulders sometime in lip. I was not able to traces the reasons. I did a Ige component test it was expensive however this was also normal. Today I finally planned to go on Xolair injection took 2 shots same time I.e 300 ml thank god my insurance approved this expensive injection.

I will update you guys accordingly the effect."


"I struggled with symptoms of PMDD for a while and finally my doctor put me on Aviane to regulate my hormone levels and thus, mood. Aviane made my breasts larger but increased my acne and oily skin like crazy and made me more depressed and emotional! I normally have clear skin, so the acne was horrible for me. I asked to switch to Ortho-Tri Cyclen Lo. Since I've taken OTC-Lo (for 6 months), I've noticed my skin cleared up (although I still have minor acne compared to when I was off the pill), and it helped with my mood swings tremendously. Although a bit more pricey ($15 copay), I am very happy with the improvement in mood that OTC-Lo has given me, which is a much better gain compared to the minor acne I am still experiencing."


"My husband was hospitalized for 10 weeks before passing away. I could not sleep - my thoughts were spiraling and racing. I had an anxiety attack in the intensive care unit and thought I was having a heart attack. I hadn't slept in 5 days. My doctor prescribed 1 mg Ativan taken 30 mins before bedtime. What a godsend. I sleep straight for 6 hours every night. I've tried sleeping without it and I'm awake all night. I worry about tolerance. So I go without it on weekends and lay awake for two nights.  I can't wait til Sunday night so I can take the Ativan and get some sleep.   I've been on it for 6 months now."


"I was prescribed this for a kidney infection.   I took one dose.  With that dose I felt so sick to my stomach, had horrible anxiety, my face felt hot and I felt sweaty. My calves of my legs also felt sore.  I stopped after that first dose because I felt so awful and read some pretty scary side effects!   I went to a different Dr and he put me on doxy which is much safer."


"Azor 5/20 has been excellent for me with no side effects at all and has controlled my blood pressure wonderfully."


"Lexapro was very effective in reducing obcessive thoughts, but my manias and depression are still there, almost no improvement."


"I was suffering with a lot of fluid and this drug has worked great!!!"


"I'm a chronic pain patient who has had three lumbar spinal fusions plus eight pedicle screws and plates. The anxiety started after almost 16 years of daily pain. If it weren't for Klonopin and Avinza, I couldn't work. I'm an engineer and go to work every day. Some days are tough and I need help getting out of the car when I get home, but with these medicines I'm still working and enjoying life."


"My experience with Lexapro has been a positive one.  I've been on it after my social anxiety became intolerable and I'd hit the lowest low of my life -- had a few anxiety attacks and was doing horrible at work.  I wasn't able to keep anything straight, was disorganized, forgetful, anxious, irresponsible, irritable. I felt high anxiety in making simple decisions, writing, communicating, asserting myself, the list goes on. I started Lexapro and it took a solid 2 months for it to really start working effectively.  At that point, I became much more calm (much less anxiety), organized, together-with, and punctual (qualities I had never achieved before in my life!). I've started to eat healthier, work out, work harder, and have joined some social clubs. Success!"


"Caused weight gain."


"I have suffered  from  depression for over 25 years. I've taken more medicines than I can count, none of which have worked very long. I have been on Pristiq for over a year and it is working well. There are side effects, but they are tolerable and most go away with time."


"I bought the 3 day Monistat treatment. I had used the 7 day once before which actually worked very well but I wanted to give the 3 day a try for a shorter treatment time. I'm on the 3rd night and as soon as I apply the cream the inside of my vagina is itching like crazy. Not even tolerable itch. It says take before bed but now I won't be able to sleep because of how bad the itch is. I wouldn't buy again"


"This is the best medicine I have ever taken for runny nose/post nasal drip. One pill a day and I stay dry all day. I have been taking this medication for approximately four years. The only downside I have found is that if I take two pills in one day my throat gets very dry and I get symptoms of a sore throat, which, of course, goes away within 8 hours."


"Very bad urinary tract infection. Was given Septra after three days still not better.  Dr had me in office for IV Rocepehin. Problem cleared up within hours!"


"This cream works wonders. I had very red, acne especially in my T area on my face and after a few days of using it, I noticed great improvements! My skin became less dry, I did not get fresh pimples everyday and the redness was starting to disappear. I've been using it for nearly 3 months now and my skin is actually smooth now, I no longer feel the bumpiness of having acne all over my face. However, when I first used it my skin dried SIGNIFICANTLY. My face felt incredibly tight, and I felt like I couldn't even move mouth because it was so uncomfortable! So I checked with my doctor and was told that it was normal, so don't fret if your skin starts to dry greatly upon first use. I definitely recommend this, my confidence has improved."


"Got my urinary tract infection at 10pm and within an hour I knew I was in trouble with the usual stinging and need to go to the bathroom but it happened so fast and before I knew it I was bleeding quite heavily.  Immediately went to Emergency and was prescribed Cipro, within an hour I was getting relief.  I'm dizzy and have ringing in my ears but very relieved the pain is subsiding, hopefully the bleeding will stop soon."


"I started using the NuvaRing in early December 2013, and I stopped using it after my  month trial was up. I had a few side effects: weight gain(with no change in diet), headaches, NO sex drive, and periods that started a week early. I was on the pill for a year and a half with none of these side effects. The NuvaRing just isn't for me."


"Ok...so I was hesitant about Phentermine because I thought all pills were a scam...but I asked my Dr who happens to be an obesity specialist and he said that there are alot of meds that will work, but he said Phentermine is cheap, and it works...it is cheap, a 30 day supply was around 18 dollars with my insurance. My goal is 75 lbs, and before I started phentermine, I had already lost about 8 pounds....After being on it for two weeks, I have lost 10 lbs.

I dont feel hungry or crave food or snacks anymore, although I do notice it tends to wear off at night which is when I tend to eat more...I am going to ask for a slightly higher dosage to see if that helps.

Side effects....I have constipation....some jitters...not really that bad."


"My first experience was fine, no bleeding, no pregnancy but when I had a second implant put in place it was a horrible experience. In the beginning I had extremely bad pains and really heavy bleeding I couldn't do anything this carried on for a year with only a couple days break, my mood swings were constant and lost my appetite completely. I was so exhausted by this that I lost 2 stone and became anemic. I went to the Drs and found out that when I get it removed it would take my body about 7 months to go back to normal, although I never got pregnant I don't want to go through this experience again."


"I was ill for 4 months with allergies and felt sick and like I had the flu.  I think this was the worst I had. I went to a sinus specialist who prescribed Dymista and I have had very good results.  Clear nose, better sense of smell and I don't feel sick. I hope the Dymista will work well when the season hits again next March."


"I had a short cervix which caused me to deliver early. So at the beginning of this pregnancy my Dr offered Makena. She said if i was even thinking about it i should go ahead and start the process so by 16 weeks everything would be ready to go.FYI i started shots at 17 weeks. The injections only hurt if i didn't relax my mussels which was only twice. We alternated sides every week. I am now 37 weeks and 4days no baby yet but i had false labor after 36 weeks. It worked gteat for me! Thanks Makena"


"I was on this for a year before having to switch due to switching insurance and the out of pocket cost. When I first started this medication I did have pretty serious nausea that cleared up within two weeks after my body was able to adjust from the switch. After that I never noticed any other side effects. I did take this in combination with Topamax so weight gain was not an issue for me like others mentioned. I also took this in a continuous method in order to prevent mood swings and this worked extremely well for me. So that being said, I cannot attest to how it affected my periods other than I did not have any spotting, etc. It worked extremely well for me and I did not experience any depression or any other negative side effects"


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


"This is the first time I took unisom. I'm pregnant and have been having trouble sleeping. I took it the first night and I as asleep within 30 minutes. It was the best sleep I've had in awhile and woke up feeling great but the second night taking it didn't go so well. It didn't make me drowsy one bit. I tried taking a second pill and nothing worked. I'm not sure why it worked the first night for me but not the second. :("


"Nardil works very well for my bipolar depression. I had hypersomnia when I was depressed and the drugs I tried (Lamictal, Zoloft, Celexa…) didn’t help at all. I’m glad my psychiatrist made me try this medication.

At first, I took 45 mg, but after a while, it made me maniac. I had to lower the dosage to 30 mg and, surprisingly, it’s seems to be working (even though it’s not considered as a therapeutic dose).

The diet is very easy to follow, as long as you can take bottled beer. The only downside is the sugar cravings, which are difficult to resist."


"I'm 31 years old and have started having high blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide didn't work. After seeing the cardiologist I started  dilitiazem 24hr er 120mg cap for high blood pressure and angina. I feel like I worked instantly, on my third dose I checked my blood pressure and in was lower, it was still at risk, but it was much lower, and my pulse was normal. I do feel slightly dizzy for a split second. I don't feel tired and I drive all day with it. I have had a loss of appetite, but I think that's a good thing so I can get this weight off. I'm using this medicine along with diet and slow pace exercise. This is day four and I still have a slight chest pain for a second once or twice a day, but I know its working because I feel better."


"Worst birth control I've ever been on. Even compared to needing my Mirena IUD surgically removed. All birth control comes with side effects but I had the worst experience with the depo shot. I stayed on it just over a year and a half (thinking it would get better eventually?) and I decided not to continue it, with all the issues I've had. ZERO sex drive, extreme fatigue, lots of weight gain, major anxiety (needed medication), moodiness.. now that I stopped, I'm having major abdominal cramping, similar to mild contractions. I would not recommend this birth control. I feel like I've become a completely different person with all these mood changes and fatigue. I hope I can get back to normal after this. Really regretting doing the depo.."


"Dilaudid worked great for pain without all the side effects from other pain meds, but doctors are no longer willing to prescribe them. Probably due to all the abuse and how difficult the DEA is now making things for pharmacists who fill them and doctors prescribing them."


"All I am going to say is my skin is flawless! After the first 2-3 months. I used to have outbreaks and blemishes! People always compliment me on how flawless my skin is and that I should do cover girl commercials. Beyaz!"


"I have been struggling with bipolar for 17 years, and nothing has worked as well as Lithium. The side effects are uncomfortable as far as the upset stomach feeling, but eating with the medication helps."


"I have had hep C for about 20 years now, genotype 3a. I already did my 3 month treatment of Epclusa. At end of 3 months, the virus  was undetectedable, of course. Waiting to get blood work in March to find out if still undetected. My main side effect of Epclusa was major muscle aches. My muscles were always very stiff and sore. Totally manageable though. I was hoping after I finished treatment, it would go away..,but unfortunately it has not. Some days are worse than others...hoping time will make it go away. Praying and hoping will be undetected and cured still in March. Good luck and God bless to all struggling."


"I purchased the 3 day prefilled applicators. Today is day 3 and I had ZERO burning or irritation from the cream and felt relief from the YI the morning after the first dose."


"By the third dose, I had experienced chest tightness, dry mouth, dilated pupils, dizziness and a loss of emotions. The most interference in my life was the dizziness. I did not want to drive the 25 miles to work and back due to feeling dizzy. The side effect that bothered me the most was the lack of feeling emotions. I felt very detached from any emotion and was unable to cry, laugh or feel love. I discontinued the drug after the third dose. This was not the way I wanted to feel while dealing with moderate anxiety. I'll look for herbal remedies and remain in therapist-guided talk therapy. I don't want to be a dizzy emotional zombie. I am also scared to death, from what I've read, to discontinue this drug due to horrendous bad side effects."


"At first I read all the reviews positive and negative and was like oh hell no!!! I would leave work early, wouldn't wan to leave the house or even go to the store. So  my DR started me on 37.5 mg XR a few months ago. Only side effect was felt sick to my stomach but that went away after a while. I know people are different but WOW has it changed my life and thinking. I felt like an old me again, not worrying like a nervous nelly about things not in my head thinking about the what ifs, was staying at work and going to stores and people around me noticed the change in me. I was more up beat and less nervous. Now today I started the 75mg XR because my DR said let make you feel even more better. Hopefully this works if not I'll just go back down to 37.5mg"


"I take a low dose of Saphris (5 mg). My experience with this medicine is simply incredible. It makes me feel so "zen" and happy, it's a feeling difficult to describe. I used to take clonazepam, but it never made me feel that great.

Another good point is that it helps going to sleep, but waking up is easy (not like Seroquel and Zyprexa!!)"


"I have had my IUD for three years now. At first I had no problems. It was wonderful. Now, I haven't had a period in 3 years. My mood swings are out of this world (my poor husband doesn't know if he should talk to me half the time). I have hot flashes all the time, I am getting migraines everyday for the last two months. I am scheduled to get my tubes tied September 21. I can't get the IUD removed until the day of my surgery."


"53 years. Not full erectile dysfunction, just not what it used to be. Excellent, but you must take daily.  I'm on 5mg."


"This medication is not indicated for ADHD or ADD in adults. It is neurotoxic and highly addictive. Comments to the contrary are idiotic. As an attorney, I've seen dozens of parents choose desoxyn ("methamphetamine") over their kids. It should only be used as a last resort for central sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. Even for narcolepsy, the maximum indicated dose is 60mg, not 70."


"My daughter age 17 got the Nexplanon inserted October 2015. Bleeding was minimal for the first couple weeks, then heavy for the next three.. It's now a 2-3 day time period where she doesn't bleed and its a medium to light flow. No major side effects except non stop bleeding through the first 4 weeks. Now come the 2nd week of January....  All hell has broken loose.  Severe acne started and headaches that caused her to miss school. She has joint pains in her back/hip and she cries all the time. Eyes look sunken in and red/swollen 24/7.  My daughter never has had acne before. and was normal weight and a popular outgoing girl, but I can honestly say she is not the same at all. So Doctor recommended it be taken out. We go this week"


"I've had this birth control for the full 3 years as of December 2015. My doctor informed me that I would have little to no bleeding. I would bleed from 3 to 6 months at a time. When it was brought to my Dr's attention she advised me to give it time. Yes, it prevented pregnancy, but what they should've said was that you wouldn't be having sex enough to get pregnant. I wouldn't be so terrible if it was light spotting but it was heavy the entire time. (A little tmi) it was suppose to help with my clotting but onlyl gotten worse. I've finally taken my sister's advice to get a new doctor but I will not recommend this form of contraception to anyone. Everyone's experience is different I would strongly do research about all of your options firs."


"I have been using this medication for about 6 months.  Roxicodone 30mg every 4 hours.  It does work great takes the pain away within a short time period about 15 minutes once taken.  I have had 17 surgeries and have been unable to do a lot of things until I started taking this medication.  I don't feel tired or get a "high" feeling. I am happy I found a medication that works for me. Only one bad thing - I had when some of my medication was stolen.  I had to stop taking it.  I thought I was going to die  -  I was in bed for 3 days.  Like they say on this site put all your medicines up and follow the directions.  I wouldn't want anybody to have to go through withdrawals on this medication.  "


"Topamax made my migraines worse - more often, more pain, more nausea, stronger auras, and longer lasting."


"Started Chantix, set my quit date for 3 weeks later. Week 1 - noticed a reduced craving to smoke, Second week - even less craving. Third week - was hardly smoking at all. Quit date - haven't picked up a smoke since and that was 7 years ago. Have had a few urges since but never enough to make me pick up a pack of cigarettes. Didn't care about the cost, I had to quit and it was easy!"


"I've had 3 yeast infections in the past year (or so I thought) I tried fluconazole the first two times and it seemed to clear up the symptoms (although I had to take two tablet each time). I've only ever had one other yeast infection 3 years ago, so I found this very peculiar. Each most recent infection has been brought on by sexual activity, so I talked with my doctor who said it was probably the case that I've had one infection this whole time that never fully went away and prescribed me terconazole (3 day dose). I'm on my 3rd day and everything seems just peachy. After the first dose I noticed all itching went away and I have not experienced any side effects. Here's to hoping this takes care of it for good!"


"I've had it for almost a month. Currently on my first period with it and it's awful. Insertion pain was 10/10 I cramped for almost a week after and bled/spotted the entire time. My period is light but I have really bad sharp pains and I'm bloated and feel nauseous all the time. Right now I'm on my period. Everyone is different and maybe it takes a few cycles to get used to, but if I hurt like this all the time with this in my body, then I don't feel like it's worth having. I'm happy for all of you who have had success with this IUD, but I'm not sure it's for me."


"This is the worst I have ever had. The I have been taking this for months since my insurance wouldn't cover the one I used to be on. My periods have been worst then ever. I have been breaking out which I have never had to deal with and now my period won't stop. I have contacted my Dr and asked to be changed immediately."


"I've been on the nexoplanon BC for about a year. And I will NOT be getting it again and I do NOT recommend it. Actually been thinking of getting it taken out. I have NEVER in my 14 years of having periods bled so much and so often. I use to bleed twice a month but for the past two months I have been bleeding on a daily basis. This isn't a regular thing, even on a BC like this, I will bleed for a couple hours then just stop for a few hours then bleed again. I am so not loving this choice. The only BC that worked for me was the depo provera (I think that's spelled right) shot. I had one regular period then not a spot, and when I did bleed it was only one day and very light, I was on it for 5 years. Definitely going back to the shot!"


"I had been using Vagifem for over 10 years. It definitely helped my vag atrophy symptoms as well as improved minor urine leakage issues. Six weeks ago I was switched to Yuvafem. My first observation was with the packaging - the perforations between the individual units were nearly impossible to separate and when I did, the foil cover of the adjacent units would break open. I use a scissors now to cut them apart. Secondly, after about 4 weeks, I've noticed that vaginal irritation and urine leakage symptoms are returning. I'll use up my present 90-day supply and see how things go, but if symptoms worsen any more, I will ask my doc for a DAW (Dispense As Written) Vagifem prescription. I'll be willing to pay the significantly larger co-pay."


"Like the medicine but noted increased edema swelling in feet and legs and tiredness."


"I have Premenstrual dysphoric disorder.  This med saved my life.
Mimicked a hysterectomy.  Now I know that removing the ovaries is the answer.  Scheduled...."


"I'm 16, I was on the Depo shot for 8 months but had crazy bleeding, switched to Loestrin. First 3 months were great, minimal bleeding/no periods. This is my 5th month and I'm finally having periods (not complaining, takes the scare out of thinking I'm pregnant). I started to have horrible cramps and I get super bloated about a week before I start. For the past week I've been on verge of crying every 5 minutes. I have CRAZY mood swings. And I've been slightly depressed. I can't handle it anymore and I'm going to switch. "


"I could really use some outside opinions.  I have been on CONTRAVE  for 6 months.  I lost 15 lbs the first 6 weeks, but I was watching my diet, and walking 3x/week.  After the first 3 months, the weight came back...with a vengeance, and I found myself feeling a sense of sadness that I hadn't felt before.  The appetite returned with ferocity, and I haven't changed anything - diet, dosage, nothing.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?  Has anything changed with the medication?

It just seems so strange...especially reading some of the success stories.

Anyone??"


"First of all, I have tried phentermine/topiramate and contrave. My FNP ordered the phentermine 15mg and topiramate 50mg separately and it is super cheap! About $20-25 a month cost. She was well aware of the cost for the combination drug so she started me on the drugs separately on lower doses and increased me and it worked just the same!
Next, I stopped those two drugs for awhile because I hit the plateau and went on Contrave (expensive) and as soon as I built up to the required dose I developed hives and a horrible uncontrolled itching that required benadryl. So it was not effective to say the least. I went back to Phentermine and Topiramate and had great effects again after. Wt 167 down to 145 in 5 months (22lbs)"


"Doesn't put me to sleep 15-30mg, requesting alternative"


"Made strep throat worse and continued for duration of time taking medication. Cured sti's"


"I have tried so many things for my anxiety...Vistaril for anxiety did not help me personally...I know everyone is different but this did not help me at all. I just started Buspar for my anxiety so I am hoping this helps. But Vistaril did NOTHING... I didn't feel anything it may work for certain people but absolutely nothing happened with my anxiety decreasing ..."


"I'm 18, and not sexually active. My mom recommended it just in case I was to need it, and I got the Skyla inserted today. After reading all the reviews on here I was scared to death. I went in and they did a normal pelvic exam, and then started.  The insertion was NOT as bad as all of the comments. There was a lot of pressure, and 1 small pinch, from the clamp they use to keep your cervix open. The only painful part for me was trying to open the cervix. They had to take several tries to get up there. The pain is like a severe period cramp. That's all. It wasn't the worst pain ever for me, very bearable! It's been about 6 hours since the insertion and I have no cramps, and a small amount of sporting. It wasn't bad at all!"


"I been on nexplanon for a year now and I regret it. My periods never been this long an my life before I got on nexplanon I was only on my period for 3 or 4 days now with nexplanon I'm on my period like 2 weeks or 3 weeks I hate it. Very horrible and side affects always sleepy, shortness of breath, and anxiety. Lose of appetite. Bad acne. Only good then about this birthcontrol it's actually does stop u for pregnancy. I don't recommend this birthcontrol. The pill is way better"


"The pharmacist said the only side effect was vivid dreams. It is going down the Alice in Wonderland's rabbit hole. It is supposed to get better after a week. Here's hoping the pharmacist is right."


"Lexapro is great. I started when my panic attacks and depression made me unable to function at all and I was too afraid to leave my house. My thoughts would race and I was just a mess. I started on 5mg for a week which was like nothing but then upped to 10mg and after 3 weeks I was beginning to feel less anxious and more stable. After 6 weeks I'd say I felt normal. I'm going to try come off them after being on them for a year and a half. I haven't had a panic attack in over a year so for panic disorder they work fantastically well. I've experienced no side effects with this drug."


"I started my birth control journey with Monessa and switched to Sprintec after one year. I have been using Sprintec for the past two years, and it has really worked great for me. My periods have been shorter with a vast decrease in cramps. My acne has cleared since starting the birth control. I have also noticed that I have lost more weight on Sprintec than I did on Monessa. I went from 120 to 115 when I switched bc (5' 3"). I have not had to worry about getting pregnant while using the medication properly. If I ever forget a pill, I usually take it as soon as I remember. Also, this generic version is affordable!"


"One month into the pill I fell deeply into depression. Also, I started the pill with the first day method (on the first day of my period) causing me to spot for the whole 2 months of taking the pill. After taking a break from the pill after the second month I started to recover from the depression. Giving it another try I started the pill once again but instead this time after my period ended solving the spotting issue, but I notice that after the first month of taking the pill I fall into depression once again. It's made my acne much worse, but. It does prevent pregnancy. I'll be switching pills."


"I recently started Seroquel 50 MG for the first couple days and then up to 150 MG. This medication works great! It creates anxiolytic effects similar to Klonopin and relieves all my anxiety. I sleep well to. This medicine really knocks you out and makes you very sedated. Take at night. I can actually function thanks to this medication and it works excellently for paranoia, anxiety and depression also found it to work greatly for sleep. I was previously on Abilify which was very activating and gave me a lot of anxiety and I couldn't sleep more than 1-2 hours. On Seroquel I sleep a full 8 hours and I wake up refreshed and ready for the day. It controls my anxiety and works wonders. Side effects are: No sex drive and drowsiness."


"I am soon to be 62 and have suffered with migraines since age 12 and cervical dystonia for many years. My Doctor suggested Botox for both and I can hardly contain my emotions when someone asks how I'm doing. Even now, my eyes are full of grateful tears...I have a LIFE again! Everyday used to be a struggle, but not anymore! To wake up without a migraine, or pain is like a miracle...No it IS a miracle! I love my Doctor for suggesting it. I love Allegan for making it available.

If your Doctor says you're a good candidate, or you think you might be, ASK! It might change your LIFE!"


"Very effective but beware of cardiac side effects, I ended up in hospital with severe long QT interval so get an ECG when you start this drug, the withdrawals are also horrific"


"After suffering with this condition for 50 years, I'm very thankful this medicine is available and it works terrific."


"I asked my doctor if we could try something different as I was on Effexor and the sexual side effects were kind of rough on a newlywed.

He prescribed Wellbutrin. Not only did I rapidly taper off Effexor, but the Wellbutrin send me into a manic state where all I did was clean, yell, and cry. I had panic attacks all the time. Wellbutrin will definitely not help with anxiety."


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


"AWFUL.... This birth control was the first my 16yr old daughter has been on. After the first few days I noticed how irritable and moody she was. I called the doctor, she recommended to keep taking it and let her body adjust to it. 1 month taking this birth control She became very angry, aggressive towards people and friends, irritated all of the time, short memory and memory loss, irrational acts, very depressed, 3 panic attacks and suicide attempt. She thankfully is ok but very scary. She doesn't even remember her snap decision to take her own life. She just says she felt like everything was terrible and she didn't want to feel like that. This is an extreme reaction I know but wanted to let it known what happened."


"I found that when I take Advil or aspirin with Ultram they seem to make each other more potent. Never take all three together though."


"Severe pigmentation on the lower eyelids. "


"I had been very hesitant to begin taking birth control pills for fear of gaining weight.  As a 20 year old female I am very conscious of maintaining my weight and was unsure about how this would affect me.  I got a prescription for the 21 day Junel birth control pill at my yearly physical with my doctor about two months ago.  Since then my mild acne breakouts have cleared up, I haven't gained any weight, my periods are extremely light and tolerable, and I really have had no negative side effects.  It took me a few weeks to get used to the pill and my skin broke out a little at first but now I seem to be on the other side.  My experience was very positive with this medication."


"I’ve had severe depression and low mood my whole 24 years.. self conscious, always think about sleeping/napping when I have nothing to look forward to, can’t get myself up and motivated. It’s been on and off for forever! I’ve never talked to a doctor about it until 2 months ago. (My mom made it seem like it was normal which is why I never talked with anyone about it before) My doctor recommended Zoloft starting at 50mg. The first time I took it, it literally felt like something filled the part I was missing in my brain. It was pretty wild to experience! I immediately felt like this is going to change my life and outlook. It does give you weird bowel movements for the first two weeks anytime you up the dosage. I’m on 100mg now!"


"I take 400 mg daily. I was having daily migraines with severe migraines each month, prior. I noticed a difference in the first week but after about 4 weeks I was having only 1-2 migraines per week and now after 3 months I'm having only 1-2 per month. This has been a miracle for me. I'm off all other medicines. I only take Excedrin now 1-2 times per month. I got my life back."


"This medication helps, although I have to take it twice a day and about 40mg at a time for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Does not stop all the burning problem, however does help take the edge off the pain so one can work."


"Have panic attacks approximately twice per year emerging with breathing problems. Result was depression with sleep hours falling from normal 8 hours to 2~3 hours. I fight depression with citalopram hydrobromide (Exenadil 20mg). Xanax helps me sleep whenever I feel I will miss my sleep. My schedule : Take depression medicine every two months for 6 months period. Take Xanax ONLY at night before sleep WHENEVER I feel I will miss my sleep. Fight my ugly morning wake ups by my own doing the most favorable things of the day in the morning."


"I took 10mg Celexa (increased to 20mg) for a year after experiencing panic attacks and generalized anxiety for 3 years.  My anxiety affected my stomach the worst, I'd have trouble eating anything without getting a stomach ache or diarrhea. It's as if all the butterflies in my stomach ate my food for me.  After taking Celexa my anxiety disappeared completely and my stomach went back to normal.  However, I stopped taking it due to the side effects.  I had no more sex drive, and had difficulty feeling any emotions, or at least to the extent I felt them before.  I felt foggy and not myself.  Soon as I went off it I had panic attacks again but felt more clear."


"After being tried on Klonopin, and Ativan, my doctor put my on 90 1mg xanax.

I noticed that if I put it under my tongue, that it helps faster.

I noticed it didn't only help anxiety. Myoclonous decreases while on anxiety, and my seizures have decreased a little. I normally don't get an aura before a seizure. If I do, I quickly chew it up and melt it under my tongue. Within minutes, I calm down, and the aura will slow down most time time.

I do believe that this has aborted a seizure too. I can't stand to get out in public, my heart races, I feel this sense of panic, and then think, "What if I have another seizure in public?". Feel much calmer on this medication.

It starts working within a few minutes, unlike Klonopin or Ativan."


"I was on Prilosec for about 9 years for acid reflux. For me it was a miracle drug that gave me relief for acid reflux.  My dosage was continually increased till I was taking 4 20mg pills a day (probably a problem with my acid reflux increasing).  After having more problems, I had an endoscopy which showed I had Barrett's Esophagus.  I was prescribed Protonix (2 x 40mg pills/day).  So far Protonix has worked great.  For me it works better than the Prilosec did."


"I've had it for almost a month and haven't stopped bleeding or having cramps. I keep reading that it's good for women who have heavy, painful periods, but the adjustment time can take up to six months. It's been a full month and everyday has been like a light period. I'm hoping it stops, and the period goes away altogether like I've read. The transition has been difficult though."


"My pharmacy ran out of Ocella so ordered Nikki and I hate it. I've had my period from nearly two months straight. I forgot to take it one day and the next day I immediately took two pills. By the next day I started spotting and have my period ever since. With the exception of the one day I missed I've been taking it as instructed every day at the same time and still I have yet to stop my period."


"I am 66 and have been taking 1 mg of Minipress/prazosin per day for BPH for at least 25 years.  It works well with minimal side effects.  I still get up about 1x per night to urinate but the stream is reasonably strong and I can fully empty my bladder.  Missing a dose for 2 or 3 days results in noticeable degradation of initiation, stream flow and complete emptying of bladder.  Some years ago I tried Cardura which had more impact on the BPH symptoms, but had unacceptable side effects on potency and desire.  Minipress is available as a generic and for me is a superior solution."


"I took this after I had surgery on my ovaries. It gave me bad insomnia, hot flashes and really bad weight gain. Once I was off of it I was ok.

I am once again on Megace for Hyperplasia and I am experiencing hot flashes and weight gain once again, but now within the month that I have been taking it my blood sugar is going up and I am fatigued all the time."


"I found that my depression got better but my anxiety got much worse.  I eventually stopped Pristiq and switched back to Prozac."


"Causes dry lips--use chapstick often...took several months to become effective"


"Feel better,but getting really fat"


"I have been taking it for about a year now, I only have one negative comment the withdrawl is horrible.  I have no pain,I sleep well, my bipolar disorder is under control.my feet do swell every so often, I think it is a very good medicine to try .I also take 200mgs 3x a day the max dosage is 600 mg a day"


"I took this for my extreme amount of nausea causing anxiety. It did wonders for my nausea! It was wonderful and like a miracle. Until the 3rd time I took it... I had the worst experience of my life. My jaw got locked and stuck to one side, my eyes got locked looking upwards and I couldn't move them, my jaw felt as if it was trying to break itself and was so painful . I ended up sticking my finger down my throat to make myself vomit up the drug. It continued to lock my jaw up off and on for the next 48 hours. Never again. Be careful of the side effects. Worked wonders for my nausea and vomiting, but I would rather be throwing up than experiences those side effects"


"I have been taking Lamictal for 4 years now it has helped me to manage my symptoms even though I have had to have a few adjustments to the medicines recently. With the increase so far I haven't had any episodes."


"I had a great experience on Ocella. My insurances does full coverage of it for me so it's free every month, huge plus! I was also prone ever since my first period, which was pretty late, I would skip months at a time and then have terrible cramps, periods, and awful moods. Prescription midol couldn't even provide me with relief. I got on a BC that caused me to gain weight even though I was dieting and exercising and stopped it. I then a few months later got on Ocella. I have my period every month and lasts about 4 days. It's pretty heavy with minimal cramps. I haven't gained weight but I can seem to lose any either but that's not really a problem for me at this time. No out of the ordinary mood swings, sickness, or tiredness."


"I'm prescribed Xanax XR 3mg which is the highest strength. My psychiatrist took me off of 2 mg Klonopin because it wasn't doing much for me. Xanax XR works well and I used to take instant release Xanax between 1 and 2 mg and I feel like the instant release caused a high feeling. Oh and do not drink alcohol while taking this medicine unless you want to make a huge fool of yourself and not remember a thing you did."


"I received the Synvisc-One injection in early February in both knees. The injection was extremely painful for one knee. It's a month later, I'm still in pain especially at bedtime. Lots of pain/stiffness in my calves and behind my knees. Not sure if I would receive another injection. Can surgery be worse?"


"I started in March 2017 @ 195 lbs.  Side effects were rough for the first 4 months... nausea, vomiting, severe stomach pain right after eating. So. I kept pepto in my purse to keep me going. It is Sept 14,2017 and I have zero side effects, I've lost 40 lbs. I went from a size 16 to an 8. I have 20 lbs to go! I plan to stay on this as a maintenance drug. I absolutely love it and pushing through the side effects was worth it."


"This is my second time taking Plan B Well, if your like me you had a mistake and needed to correct it asap . After the condom breaking I took Plan B about 20-30 minutes afterwards. I had 25 long days to wait but my period came about a week early . I had some breast tenderness and nausea . At least it's better than not being pregnant !!"


"I'm immunocompromised so sometimes end up with random bowel infections. I've been on a 2g stat dose of tinidazole a few times now. For violent bouts of uncontrolled and explosive diarrhea caused by suspected protozoal infections this stuff works amazingly, and quickly. Bad parts are the fatigue and metallic taste in your mouth (similar to radiotherapy) and no alcohol for 72 hours lest you end up with nasty issues."


"I've been on the patch for months now at first there was stomach pain and nausea which I still have some times but now there weight gain , I'm fatigue 24/7 and my menstrual cramps are 10000× worst then they were before."


"It's been one month and after a few bumps I feel great!  I'm taking it before bed and I'm on maintenance 1.8 for now. I've lost 13 pounds!   Only side effect is headaches but I also am on the Keto diet so it could be that.  No fruits no carbs lots of coconut and healthy fats.  I'm super excited to get back in shape!"


"I got my Mirena inserted 2 days ago.  I'm 48 and this is to try and curtail heavy bleeding.  I had it once before, when I was in my early 30s and kept it for 3 years.  It was removed after I had a tubal ligation.  I have 2 kids, ages 22 and 21.  I took 200 mg of misoprostal vaginally the night before, and 800 mg of ibuprofen one hour before insertion.  Worst part by far was when the doc clamped  my cervix to steady it.  I reacted by lifting my butt off the table without planning to, it was an involuntary reaction.  Actual insertion hurt but it was quick, like 20 seconds.  Cramping and bleeding for several hours following, get a heating pad as it really helps.  It's now day 3, n cramping and only spotting when I wipe.  All ok"


"This product, in my humble opinion, ranks up there with the wheel as one of the greatest breakthroughs in the history of mankind. After trying every conceivable "extra-strength" deodorant I figured I was completely hopeless, as I had the uncanny ability to sweat through any number of layers of clothes, even hoodies. It burned like crazy when I applied it and didn't expect much payoff for my pain but, lo and behold, it works. I went on vacation to the tropics, swam in the ocean every day and played rigorous sports for two solid weeks without reapplying it once. Truly unbelievable and truly miraculous."


"Prescribed for hot flashes and it works! Also suffer neck pain from damage caused by traffic collision, it seems to help that as well... I don't take any other pain medications."


"I'd gotten the synvisc 1 shot injection annually the past 2 years.  I went in on 10/16 to get a preventative shot and since my insurance deductibles had been met for the year, I wanted to get it before end of year.  My knee began swelling up as soon as I got home, with lots of pain.  I went in a day later and have him drain it, then a couple days later and had him drain it again. I never got any infection however,  the Dr stated that around 5% of the patients will have a bad reaction.. It's now Dec'16 and I still have pain (no swelling, just burning/pain on inside of the knee). Some days worse than others.. some days I can walk without much pain, other days, hurts like hell to walk on it. Also hurts while sleeping.. some night worse than others. NO MORE"


"I have taken one pill, waited it said 30 minutes and I thought O better lay down then, four hours later I wasn't asleep I was wide awake and had a bad headache. Next night my Doctor upped the dose, still no sleep and another very bad headache. I'm done, I also felt very odd I can't explain it disconnected. I would not recommend this drug at all. It's expensive and does more harm than good"

"I've been taking Tri-Sprintec for 4 years, it works well to avoid pregnancy and regulate my period, but I've gained almost 20lbs and I have spurts of intense anger and sadness. Sometimes I'm really hungry and other times I can't eat a thing without feeling sick and bloated. Sex is usually painful, but my sex drive has escalated greatly, especially the week after my period."


"Abilify was the first antipsychotic my doctor tried with me after I was diagnosed with schizoaffactive disorder. It did nothing for me. My main symptoms are depression, difficulty concentrating and hallucinations. I noticed no difference in any of these while on the Abilify. Except for the side effects, you would think I wasn't taking anything. The side effects were orthostatic hypotension (dizziness upon standing), blurred vision, and involuntary muscle twitches. My doctor took me off Abilify after three weeks and we tried Invega, which worked much better."


"The pain this causes is excruciating. I've had to get up several times during the night to wash it off due to the burning and itching it causes. It's so painful I can't sleep and end up tearing up washing it off. It works for a couple days and then you're back to suffering through a painful sleepless night. The pain isn't worth it."


"When I started this I was 135 pounds. When ended this I was 198 pounds. Went to the gym all the time, ate healthy and didn't eat fats and I still gained. And this was not working to stop me from sleeping too much. I was also on Seroquel that made me sleep like 12 to 14 hours. When the doctor took me off this I went from 198 and now I am 145 and went off Seroquel. Now I don't sleep too much."


"I have had great success with this medicine.  It is meant to help you achieve sleep levels 3 and 4. It is meant to make you drowsy. Take it at night a couple of hours before you want to fall asleep. Poor sleep is a big problem with fibromyalgia. I have had fibro for 20 years. I still work full time, retail 56 hours a week. Yea it's tough some days. You have to keep moving."


"I'm 50 years old and overweight. I had a torn meniscus repair (R) in July 2011. I have osteoarthritis in both my knees. I had a cortizone injection in my (R) knee and felt okay for a week, still taking medicines, still in pain. Had the 3 shots of Orthovisc in November and never received any relief. Changed medication (meloxicam) and was given pain medicines. Pain medicines work if I take two, but it really upsets my stomach. "


"A couple of weeks ago what I considered my  "usual anxiety" symptoms started getting worse and the doctor put me on Lexapro to calm my ever raging mood swings. I started out on 10 mg which threw me for a loop. I felt strange all the time, very fatigued but had insomnia, dry mouth, and felt emotionally numb. I almost quit taking it, but then decided to try something different. I don't know if I would recommend this for everyone, but I started taking 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night. I feel 100% better! I am very alert, sleep deeply, I don't have the mid afternoon slump, I am not as emotionally numb and I have so much energy."


"Used this for spinal pain, three black discs lumbar with contact to spinal column sciatica, thoracic protrusions, two severe spinal sprains to mid back, and three cervical discs contact spinal column and neck problems. This medicine worked very well for the pain taken four times daily at 50mg, per dose. Had no side effects."


"Tegretol has slowed the rapid cycling I was experiencing with bipolar.  I have noticed improved mood.  I currently take a large dose, so I experience side effects.  It's my only complaint about the drug.  I would recommend anyone who is considering Tegretol for Bipolar to have a backup for depressed mood, as I don't feel it's effective for extreme low mood, mainly for bipolar mania."


"Did not have any signs of a bladder infection.  I am 5 weeks pregnant so after a routine urine culture my doctor said I had an infection and prescribed me Macrobid.  I have taken it with food, oatmeal to be exact in the mornings.  The nausea was so extreme for hours.  I'm on day three and hoping I can finish this. "


"Took Lunesta for the first time last night and it gently put me to sleep. I have had a lot of anxiety about falling asleep. At first I was a little hesitant that I needed prescription medicines to sleep. I was able to get about 6-7 hours of sleep that I desperately needed. No metal aftertaste. I used Ambien in the past and woke up and threw up and had a miserable headache all day. That is not the case with Lunesta."


"Diclegis helps but it does not work completely.  You will still have vomiting and have to take often if your morning sickness is severe.  It can make you very tired and give you an out of sorts feeling.  It was expensive as well at 40.00 a week worth of pills."


"Ever since I had the mirena I had really bad pains stabbing shooting pains in my lower stomach and down my legs heaviness and pressure on my stomach and on my lower legs I could not walk the pain was so bad I couldn't stand I got an ultra sound to see if had a cyst my results came back normal I got the mirena out today and I can finally walk and function"


"I've been using this birth control for 3 months now and I'm starting my 4th month now.  I started taking the pill to hopefully help with my acne and it seem to be working somewhat well until recently.  When I started taking it, the acne I had improved a bit, but a few weeks ago my face basically blew up.  I developed tons of it from just below my cheek bones, across my chin and along my jaw line but my forehead stays clear.  I initially thought that it was just a breakout to signal that my period was starting (I normally get a little more just before, even on the pill) but it didn't go away. It's terrible and it's never been this bad before even off the pill. "


"Did absolutely nothing for me. Even on the highest dose 70 mg. now taking Adderall 30 mg 2xday. Works only minimally. Now what."


"i was skeptical. Other meds had not worked for pain.  The pain from spinal stenosis and other arthritis and nerve pain was decreased the day after I started taking it.  The effectiveness diminished after a month so the dose was increased and it is working well . I have decreased other pain meds, can walk better and am able to do much more"


"I think this may be my third review of Strattera, I still give it a high rating because all in all it has done what it was supposed to do. I've had some bad migraines, while on it, and I've gone off it a few times, because I couldn't fill the script or felt like it wasn't working, but I have always come back to taking it in the past four years. My current dose is 25mg, and I also take Adderall, 10mg twice a day. If I had to describe Strattera, it is a great focus/ motivation medication, but it also ups the anxiety, and adderall seems to up it even more. My doctor really doesn't have another solution than to take ativan. Coffee makes Strattera worse, but sometimes it won't kick in without the morning coffee."


"The first time I ended up in the ER for a migraine was 10/5/14. It started at 11 AM while I was at work, and only progressed throughout the day. I wasn't able to eat, and when I finally did, I threw it up within minutes. I took 1650 mg of Tylenol between 11 and 10 PM, applied heat to my neck (which usually helps me), took a hot shower, and laid in a dark room....NOTHING helped that I tried. It brought me to tears, and I couldn't get comfortable or fall asleep...it felt worse while laying down. I called my mom at 1045 PM and asked her to take me to the ER. I was given Toradol, Benadryl, and Reglan, and I felt no pain and was asleep within minutes.....I slept majority of the following day, but it helped!!!!"


"I take 1000mg a day for Bi-polar II.  I first went on this medicine at 200mg back in September last year when I was in a manic episode and was first diagnosed.  At that time they also put me on quetiapine and citalopram. I am not just on Epilim. I am stable apart from a couple of days a month where I am very down.  Reading the reviews I am totally relieved to hear that other people just don't feel full on this medicine- I am constantly hungry. I never feel full and eat and eat. I go to the gym four times a week to try and counteract this though.  I have gained 28lbs since starting to take this medicine and I'm really trying to lose it but it's tough going to be honest.  Better than me being mad though."


"I was given doxepin 50mg after a very bad experience using Xanax for insomnia.  It works fine for my depression, I have a good energy level during the day, but it doesn't do a thing for my insomnia. I feel that if I can solve my insomnia it would go a long way to helping my depression."


"I got liletta inserted in August 2016 a lot of discomfort at first than I bled for 3 weeks afterwards thinking about getting it removed due to periods 2 to 3 times a month or when having intercourse I start bleeding my periods are more crampy and make me sick to my stomach plus been having a bloody discharge everyday.  I got it checked and the Dr said it was from the liletta . Just checking out other options before hand"


"Started  Simponi  in  February  and  so  far  nothing  has  changed,  still  pain,  swelling  and  disease  getting  worse.  I hope  you  never  have  a  problem  with  an  injection  because  the  people  at  Jensen  who  are  there  to  help  are  clueless."


"After 2 days on Propecia I start to feel heavy brain fog. I didn't now about this side effect but I found out on the internet that it is a common side. I can tell you that feeling is worse than the sexual sides effects. I wish no one to feel that horrible feeling."


"Called Dr. Because my inner ear was hurting. She sent script to pharmacy for pick up. My ear stopped hurting but then a week later I had a chest cold. Took Z-pack, after day two I am able to function and mucus is coming up out of chest. Feeling 90% now. Was feeling at 40%."


"I had Encephalitis with Grand Mal Seizures at age 6. I took Librium (green and yellow capsules) on and off for years whenever the headaches got really bad. My Mom would always ask me if I needed one of my headache pills. Perhaps this isn't what this medicine is meant for but for me it worked."


"I may be premature giving Citalopram 9 out of 10. I started taking it 7 months after a dreadful bereavement, as I was experiencing severe reactive depression and rapid mood cycles for the first time in my life. I avoided antidepressants for as long as I could, but in the end, I felt I didn't have any choice as I was going under. Citalopram feels like nothing less than a life-saver. Few side effects initially apart from feeling very, very tired and getting a tight jaw. I still grieve, but I function, thankfully. Citalopram also seems to have got rid of my longstanding mild anxiety issues. I never want to go back to feeling like I did before."


"Have used it off and on for 2 years now. It works wonderfully, and improvement is usually shown immediately. However, it affects my blood sugar immensely and I usually have to quit taking it. If I don't eat constantly I get very sick and shaky because of low blood sugar and because I have to eat constantly I gain weight. The medicine itself works great, it would just be nice to not have to sacrifice feeling well physically for mentally."


"I have heel spurs and find every few weeks the pain is unbearable.  This is the only thing that relieves the pain. And I take 2 and that seems to fix me for a couple of days, not sure why that is but as long as it works that's the main thing."


"Halcion has been very effective for me.  The only problem I have noticed is if I eat late the medicine is not effective.  I take Halcion with trazodone and never had
to increase dosage on either medicine. I have been using this combination for 5 or 6 years. My insomnia was a result of menopause."


"The best relief I felt when I took them."


"I've recently gotten back on the depo probably at the beginning of June and I've been bleeding for almost 2 months they put me on birth control pills but that's still not helping. I need something to stop this bleeding it's getting out of control"


"I have been taking this for almost 5years, and it has worked well for me, periods are normal and light, 3-4days, acne is not bad anymore. I like it."


"It's been about 1 month since I got Nexplanon& I notice that my hair is thinning out. My head in the front is starting to go bald. I don't dye my hair or add any chemical to it or even use irons. I'm thinking about removing it."


"I had klyeena inserted about a 10 days ago. As long as your breathe when the doctor is inserting it, it doesn’t hurt too bad. I had some pretty terrible cramps for the next few hours that didn’t go away till noon the next day. I had very little bleeding. The doctor said I could have sex that night if I wanted, I didn’t but it was nice to know I could. Other than that it hasn’t been terrible, some mild cramps here and there but I feel great, no bad side effects yet, but I’m supposed to get my period soon so I guess that’s going to be the ultimate test."


"Did not work for chronic cluster headache at all."


"My dr gave me Voltaren Gel to help relieve my Ilio-Inguinal Neuralgia as a sample.  I don't have a specific dosage, just when it hurts, apply the cream.  It works amazing!  I mainly use it for break-through pain between doses, and days like this with storms and hectic days at work, I'm able to concentrate on work instead of trying to take my mind off of the pain.  Does this come in gallon size with a push handle?  Maybe a bath bomb I could put in my jacuzzi tub?  Just askin..."


"this is best medication I have been on having bipolar.  gives me confidence calmness no anxiety"


"I'm 35 years old and am taking birth control for the first time in my life. This is week 3 on this pill. At first I was excited because my dr said it will not only protect me from getting pregnant but also increase my breast size and hair growth. But after 3 weeks on this pill, I'm ready to throw in the towel. Yes my breast increased in size but my mood swings are getting the best of me. I'm constantly irritable, tired and am experiencing food cravings. I'm very active, workout 6 days a week. I'm very strict with my diet. However, after starting these pills I'm constantly hungry, have no discipline and I've gained 6 lbs.  I'm sure a lot is water weight but the mood swings are just terrible. I'm going to try and stick it out though."


"20mg for three months. No effect at all."


"Escitalopram was very effective in the treatment of my OCD. But it doesn't seem to have the power enough to help coping with strong generalized anxiety."


"I'm on day 4, my pain level in limbs seemingly is improving more each day. Only side effects so far is constipation. Will start using a stool softener. I'm praying this will help me."


"Ditto on every negative review I've read about this drug. I have had severe hemorrhoid swelling, burning and pain caused by the pressure of  OIC. Although this drug was effective, the nightmare which preceded relief far outweigh ever taking this Big Pharma disaster. A mule couldn't tolerate this drug."


"Please be careful.  I used the 4% for 2 months and my blood pressure went up toe 258!. It worked on my hair, but I was dizzy and had headaches.  When I figured out what was going on, I washed my hair and stopped using it.  I could not find the blood pressure warning in the current literature but found it in a 2003 medical blog.  Rogaine has not been tested on people over 65, and in rare cases it can raise your blood pressure.  In 4 days since stopping, my pressure is going down and currently is in the 150's.  The 2003 blog said it would take between 1-2 months to be completely out of your system.  I would recommend anyone with high blood pressure, to stay away from it."


"Absolutely the ONLY way I can take Latuda (life saving me for me) is by taking three small doses of Cogentin a day. I had excruciating muscle pain, a strange kind of dizziness, brain fog, and restlessness. I thought it could be some presentation of akasthisia. It was unbearable until I started Cogentin. Wonder if those with side effects are prescribed too high of a dose. I'm taking half of the .5 pill three times a day."


"Every birth control I have been on before has given me migraines and made me gain excessive amounts of weight. I have switched maybe 6 times. Since I have been on Aviane I have lost weight and continue to lose weight with every period. I also don't get as many headaches. I am very happy with this pill."


"I began taking this medication Sunday morning. About 2 hours after I took the first pill. I began having painful stomach cramps that began near my diaphragm and moved all over my stomach. I also started in with diarrhea. Monday after taking it I still had the diarrhea but was also feeling very queasy. This morning I took the last pill I will ever take. I still had the diarrhea, but I  also had an unimaginably painful migraine, and started vomiting uncontrollably. It was so bad that I even aspirated it a couple times because I couldn't stop long enough to take a breath. I was in the ER from 10am-3pm on nausea and pain meds. I have never felt like I was going to die until today. Please be careful while on this medication."


"Beware this drug! I experienced the most horrendous mood swings and extreme anxiety while on this drug. The side effects took a while to develop but once they did it was truly unbearable. I had no idea why my personality was changing so drastically. It was truly terrifying. I wasn't making the connection between this drug and my highly elevated emotions. I told my Dr. on a whim about my terrible anxiety/mood swings and he immediately took me off of kariva. Within a week I was feeling back to my normal self. It has now been 4 months off of Kariva and I have not had one mood swing or case of anxiety. I would never recommend this drug to anyone. As far as I'm concerned, it should be taken off the market permanently."


"Many side effects.  I have been trying to ween off this medication for over a month and have been unsuccessful.  I received no benefits from this medication."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Mine was done over two days the first dose left me feeling bloated, cramping.  The next morning did three quarters of it and and it was all over, I vomited so hard, along with chills, shaking and just a phone call away from 911. Did it's job though."


"I took this Birth Control for about 10 months and stopped when I saw I was developing viscose veins on my thighs. I was only 19 years old at the time! I was always a chronic  sufferer of serve headaches when I was in high school but I had a period of about two years without having headaches. As soon as I got on this pill I had severe headaches every single week! I also gained some weight."


"Tried other birth control pills and all have me horrible side effects. Got this one been using it for 2yrs and love it. No side effects, no weight gain, I take at night before sleeping so that could help people with side effects."


"I woke up this morning with my ankle as big as my calf!! I  took two 75 mg capsules and was at work by 8. Anyone who has never experienced gout has no idea what the true meaning of pain relief really means!!!"


"1st week - I took 25mg bedtime.
now week 2,  I'm on 50mg
numbness and tingling on my toes and fingers are interesting.
I hope its not permanent nerve damage.

weight loss? just 2 lbs so far. (10 days) I'm also walking outside regularly, everyday.
Appetite...well.... yes and no...
better than before, I still want to eat tho.

I'm taking it cuz  my back pain is too bad to do vigorous work out.
once I drop some weight I will definitely do some work out together to build up strength."


"Do NOT use this! I got a very mild yeast infection right after my period and decided I didn't want to wait another month, so I picked this up at the store to speed things along. A couple minutes after application my vagina was ON FIRE. It burned and itched so badly my whole body was twitching and I was tossing and turning in bed and crying. The burning finally mostly subsided in about 2 hours, my vagina was still pretty itchy, but I managed to fall asleep. The next day I picked up a store brand of clotrimazole and that stuff worked wonders, I got relief immediately and there was absolutely no burning or itching!"


"Took Accutane my sophomore year of college for 6 months, and now, 2 1/2 years later, I am still acne free.  My skin is no longer oily and I will get the occasional, non-inflamed pimple, but that is it! The only side effects I had were dry skin, dry lips, and occasional eczema on top of my hands (which was completely fixed by Aquaphor).  I was completely clear on Accutane after 2 months so the remaining 4 months was a breeze.  I had acne on my chest and back and since then I have had NOTHING on my chest and back, ever.  This medicine really, really works, and its the only thing out there that worked for me after trying just about everything. It's not worth it to wait and see if other things work, just try it, it's a miracle."


"For about 25 or 30 years, I've had at least 2 bouts a year with bronchitis accompanied with a non-productive cough.  There was no way I could sleep; I could only lay there and cough on schedule about every 30 seconds to a minute.

Then I got Hydromet.  Best cough suppressant ever.  Just don't sip your dosage straight from the bottle, use a teaspoon, because you'll just overdose and possibly get the most frightening nightmares you'll ever experience.  Believe me, it was very vivid and frightening dreams; and they would recur if you try to sleep again.

After using the correct dosage there were no problems.

Only my luck ran out when my long time doctor wouldn't prescribe anymore.  I'm trying to add another doctor that will prescribe it."


"Doesn't touch my pain while I am awake but puts me to sleep and in the morning I notice it helped relax bad spasms."


"After having liquid nitrogen treatment every week for six months I gave up and lived with the warts on my bottom for two years. Then I decided to go back and was given Aldara cream. When the doc examined me he counted 11 warts. After four weeks he examined me again and found three warts and gave me another months supply of cream. Two weeks later I think I have one wart that has shrunk so I expect that will disappear very soon. The cream has been very painful and after using it for over a month I find it difficult to use the toilet or wipe down there. Despite the pain I'm glad I was given this cream, when I stop using it the inflammation should clear up and hopefully the warts will be gone for good."


"I've been on Remeron for 3 weeks now, and I feel somewhat better, I could not take other antidepressants because they made me a ton more anxious and out of it, like I wanted to crawl out of my skin, I've had a really tough time the last year and half and I'm hoping that this works for me, the only problem I'm having is I just can't seem to wake up in the morning and I'm still feeling very lethargic all day, I'm very sensitive to all medications so I have to move up very slowly, I just moved up to 18.75 mg, and I'm still really tired and I have a hard time functioning during the day, my doctor said he is going to slowly move me up too 30mg, I guess I am just wondering if anyone else out there has gone through the same thing I am going through"

"I was on this pill for 4 months and I had crazy mood swings! I was laughing one minute crying the next. I could never make it through an entire month of these pills I would start my period on the first or second day of the 3rd week of my pack, not just break through bleeding this would be a full period that would last 5-6 days! And I would have terrible cramps and huge clotting. Normally I don't have have cramps and while on this I had them every period. I finally had to have my doctor switch me to a new pill with a higher dosage."


"This is the only drug that I have found in my life that has worked. It was hard to get started on this med. Itching and hives for 2 weeks, then 1 month of diarrhea  (basically just passing water), nausea  (but not extreme). Start at low dose. Seriously, I do not see how anyone can hold a job while starting this medication. I have a mthfr gene mutation and I am sensitive to medications so take that into consideration. It has helped a lot with depression but not with anxiety. It has been the only drug that has NOT caused increased anxiety and agitaton. Psychological side effects are much more bothersome to me when trying to get on a med than the physical side effects. It was darn near chemotherapy. Still increasing dose slowly."


"Sometimes causes a small bruise (pencil point size) to as large as 1 inch by 4 inches (twice). Must add, very infrequently bruised, as I've learned to be careful at the injection site. Been using 40mg Edex for about 6 years. Like it better than Caverject (5 years) for ease of injection and preparation. Twice had gotten bent needles, but called Edex, and the medication was replaced free through my provider. Sometimes use a "ring" with the medication. Gave a 9 instead of 10 because of bruising."


"I had a upper respiratory infection, including yellow-green phlegm and a nasty sore throat from all of the sinus drip. My naturopath prescribed a capsule mix of echinacea and goldenseal that I took 4 times a day for one week, and poof my sinus/respiratory infection was gone. In the past I've always taken antibiotics for these kind of sinus problems that crop up in the winter time, but I'm glad to have found a more natural alternative that returns some needed vitamins and nutrients to my body while ridding me of a nasty condition."


"I took Contrave for 5 weeks. I titrated up until on the "maintenance dose" 4/day.  Weight loss started after 2 weeks. Appetite incredibly suppressed.  Full after eating only a little bit. No interest in sweets. No  interest in food. I lost 12 pounds -went from 220.8 to 208.8. I'm 5'6"", 53 yr old female.  Drug was great UNTIL 6 days on the high dose. Severe headaches! Horrible tightening of throat. Jaw super tight. INCREDIBLY painful stomachaches. Holding my stomach all day long. The thought of eating anything made me sick. Spent 2 days obsessed about life after death.  I stopped cold turkey, threw out almost full bottle. Side effects outweighed benefits. BE CAREFUL! Trying Belviq as it worked couple yrs ago.             ,"


"I just had mine put in today, I realize every experience is personal so take my review with a gain of salt.
This was the absolute worst pain I have ever experienced. I passed out, and the moment I woke up, I threw up from pain. Mind you, my pain tolerance is such that I didn't even cry when I broke my pelvis. I couldn't even drive myself home from the procedure, my husband had to leave work and pick me up. When I got home I was on Advil AND tylonal, still 10/10 pain. 8 hours later I'm at about a 6/10."


"I'm very pleased with Celebrex for the neck and knee pain caused by my osteoarthritis. I have no pain on climbing up and down the stairs (relief began after only several days). I not only have no neck pain, but also a dramatically increased range of motion...which makes it much safer for me to change lanes when I'm driving. The one problem I have is that I must take the medication after eating, otherwise tummy tenderness may occur."


"I was prescribed metronidazole for BV, twice a day for 7 days. I'm on day 4 and experiencing really what I read 'rare' side effects. My urine has changed into a dark color I have never seen before. I'm having really bad chest tightness, it's so bad I can't sleep on either sides of my body...so I'm having to sleep facing up. I'm having heavy breathing. My hands are waking up sometimes numb in the mornings. I'm urinating very often. The pill makes me very nauseous and as soon as I take it I lose my appetite. It's also causing me indigestion and now my food isn't digesting good. I think I pretty much got all the bad symptoms you can get. Feeling feverish now, don't know if I should continue, most my symptoms of BV are gone but still a little."


"I have been on Nuvigil for about 3 months now and see a little bit of difference. Previously I was on Ritalin which worked pretty much the same as Nuvigil. My doctor is currently giving me a trial period for 150mg once daily. I take one daily at 6-8 am and it lasts me till around noon. I then start to crash and when driving I still have a hard time staying awake. My doctor says it is because I need a higher dosage and will hopefully be starting that the next Drs visit. I highly recommend Nuvigil if you can afford it but if not Ritalin in my opinion works just as well."


"Hi!  I have been on this medicine for only 2 weeks and I already know that its the best thing that could happen for me.  I wanted to post so others know that the benefits of Saphris are real in my case.  Perhaps peoples side effects are from other medicines/withdrawal from other medicines??...     I was on olanzapine but I continued to have unclear thinking and my weight gain over a year was astronomical. I live in Australia and its a subsidised medicine here, it is truely the lucky country and Im so very greatful,  this medicine is changing my life."


"Symptoms started clearing 12 hours after first dose.  Doctor prescribed 10 days at 400 mg/day.  All of my bacterial symptoms (sore throat, headache, drainage, cough, upset stomach, fever) were gone by dose 4.  No serious side effects."


"I've been on a variety of pain meds since 2006 from a 92# treelimb falling on me and had become quite impact constipated because of them. After yrs of trying many many different kinds of laxatives & eating plenty of fruits my Dr finally asked me today(while refilling my medtronics morphine pump) if I had ever tried this injection. He gave me a sample & told me to be close to a toilet so I just now gave myself the injection, now that I'm home. So far the only thing I'm feeling is activity in my stomach as if things will be happening soon...no bad cramps, headache, sweats...just motion in my stomach. It started almost immediately & now 1/2 an hour has passed and I am still waiting..
Will keep you posted..."


"I just wanna share this with girls who are worrying and freaking out cause I sure did. I took plan b cause I messed up on my birth control but also took a new pack of birth control the day after plan b, I didn't get my period for the month in February at all which freaked me out but I ended up getting old blood a couple weeks later and finally a month later after finishing my birth control, during my placebo week I am on my period right now. So I wanna say I know it's hard not worrying about if plan b works or not but it really does. If you take it with birth control I would say it throws off your cycle."


"After trying four other types with horrible side effects, Velivet was a welcome improvement. First month was a bit moody and had spotting but after that my very irregular period (weeks off) became regular almost to the hour. I did not gain weight and have minimal decreased appetite. Doesn't seem to have a strong effect on my sex drive either way. Almost entirely cleared up my acne outside of a touch right before I get my period. Horrible cramps that would me bed ridden are mostly gone. Just have moderate cramps for 24 hours after first getting my period. Period only lasts 3-4 days now compared to 5-7 before."


"Thanks to Sanofi for giving me such a great product. Its doing miracles. NO MORE NEEDLES - this is much much better than traditional insulin. I have been using it for more than 6 months and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend my diabetic friends to talk to your doctor about this. the only down side if you should have good lungs- no cancer etc . I am super excited . Wish you all luck."


"Did not do much for me. About the same as an aspirin."


"I have been on Nexplanon for 3 years & 7 months. When it comes to preventing pregnancy it works like a charm. But the side effects are so damn hard to take. First round I had my period for a year. It was panty liner light but still irritating. I gained weight & was occasionally angry. My second round, well my period hasn't stopped since I got it & its tampon heavy. My mood swings are also off the walls. It's straining my relationship, badly. Thankfully my SO is understanding that it's just the hormones & not me. But he's been arguing with me to get it removed in hopes it'll make us happier. Horrifying panic attacks, bad depression, raging anger. Sometimes it swells & itches where it's been placed. I'm making an appointment to get it removed asap"


"I took Yaz prior to my second pregnancy and absolutely loved it. No side effects so I decided to go ahead and start back on it after I was done breastfeeding my second child.  I have some other health conditions, so it has taken me 6 months to link the side effects to the pill.  I have had horrible headaches that would grow into migraines, which is not good especially with a 3 yr old and 1 yr old.  I am beyond tired, I can sleep 20 hours a day if I didn't have children.  I am beyond moody and irritable which has had a huge impact on my relationship with my husband, children, family and friends.  I have not had a major decrease in sex drive, but have had a dramatic change in vaginal dryness that would make times unbearable.  "


"just doesn't seem to help"


"My experience with Apri has been great. I have been on it for about 5 years now. I do not get any of the side effects - no headaches, mood swings, weight gain, etc. I was recommended by 2 doctors to take 4 x 21 packs of Apri in a row, totaling to 3 months of birth control then stopping for a week to get my period. So this means that you only get your periods 4 times a year. This causes no health risks at all (unless you take it longer than 3 months in a row) and I have been doing this for 3 years with no side effects at all. I have spoken to 4 doctors about this and none of them disagreed with this method. I was told to try it and if it worked for me to definitely keep doing it. *May not be for everyone so please consult your doctor first*."


"I have been taking Exforge for months now. I'm having trouble with heart beating fast. Tired all the time. It has my blood pressure down but I don't feel well."


"First two injections worked very well ,third injection seemed to stiffen my knee more .I did not get the desired results."


"Amazing.  Wonderful!"


"Was given Finasteride as a trial as Contiflo (Flomax) did not solve issue completely. I stopped after 5 days as Finasteride was giving me frequent palpitations. very unsettling. I think the other well-known effect was slowly starting to take effect as well. Enough reason for me to stop and rely on Contiflo for the time being."


"Diagnosed with Major Depression.  Started using this drug after taking Lexapro, Zoloft and Elavil.  I suffered from nausea when this medication was taken without food.  I was told that I would experience diarrhea as an initial side effect; however, this became chronic.  I missed one dose (after being on this medication and taking it consistently at the same time of day each day for four months) and had a major crying fit- to the extent that my nose started bleeding.  I have been switched to Brintellix as the side effects of this medication were too extreme."


"I have been having injections for over 1 year now. The dosage was increased, per my request, in December. This seemed to work well, although it still didn't last any longer. I went in in March for my next dose, which was the same as December, and this time it's just awful. I have constant tremor, I have jerky movements  at times, neck pain, yet I can tell that muscles are definitely weaker....if fact even more so than last time. Is this a sign of too much? Or injection error? I am seeing a neurologist, I did have 1 appointment with a movement disorder specialist (3 hours away), does anyone have suggestions? Should I return to the specialist?? Any input is appreciated!"


"I was skeptical after reading the many negative views but now I'm on month three and here's what I have to say (every body is different ps):

The first month was hard. I broke out and got back-acne. I was exhausted to the point of fatigue (and a real weird eye twitch). I had a few moments of intense nauseousness. And a couple headaches.

My first period week was rough - my energy levels depleted immensely and I was an emotional cry baby.

My boobs grew a lot which was fabulous. And I even noticed my nails and skin (I have really dry, dry skin) and hair all strengthen and become healthier.

By month three, everything resided and I feel back to normal. With healthier nails even ;)

Give it time - at least the 3 months to see if it works!"


"Definitely helps my depression although I still get random bouts of it at times but no improvement whatsoever in my social anxiety. Can't do any of the things normal people do, talking to people, being in stores, etc. Also every time I increase it triggers me too feel more depressed and suicidal for at least a week then it leaves. It didn't help the anxiety part for me but I hope it works for someone else."


"On a search for birth control that doesn't make me nauseous while helping my death feeling cramps and this wasn't it. When my horrible cramps hit this month, I took the first pill of the pack and have felt so throw up nauseous ever since after only 1 pill. I'm at a loss for what to do about my cramps at this point, when the pill makes me so sick it's not worth taking it either."


"After reading some of these comments I realize I'm not alone I just broke down about an hour ago not understanding why am so depressed I'm not sad but I'm depressed I am a cancer patient  that is 40 years old and I've been battling cancer and severely depressed since I was 24 I just recently spent a month in bed because I was in such horrible pain I finally ended up in the hospital because my cancers back once again and they  upped my dose from 30 mg to 60 mg to help with pain and depression. I haven't noticed that it helps with any pain but I have had all the side effects but I've read in these comments I'm so glad I found this now I know to stop taking this med but I'm terrified of the side effects  to come I haven't worked since January 5 I get discharge from the hospice house on February 20 and all I can do is go to the bathroom and lay in my chair I'm fighting so hard to be happy  but nothing is working"


"I have a pacemaker and a recent stent in a 90% blocked artery. Since I started taking Multaq only one episode of Afib and no notable side effects experienced."


"I've had my sklya for a little over a year, the insertion was fine, it was just like getting a pap, didn't feel anything. My period had been normal up until my 1 year mark came around. I thought it might be possibly going away but it just seems to be spotting more here and there, it could also be because of my weight training at the gym as well. But it kind of worries me so I might make an appointment just to make sure its nothing else. Over all it does its job, I haven't gotten pregnant. My husband would complain here n there depending on positions during sex that he could feel something poking and would ruin his vibe. I mentioned it to the Dr at my well womans check and she trimmed the strings and he hasn't complained since."


"Levora made me an emotional MESS! I will pay more for Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, which I was on for 7 years with NO problems. I switched because Levora is cheaper. I am tired of crying at the drop of a hat and feeling "strange".  I realize that every person is different."


"Medicine cleared up skin problem but I have been tired, dizzy, nauseous, and have had stomach distress the whole time.  Today was so bad I went to the emergency room just to be sure there was nothing else wrong with me."


"I have not been on it longer than 2 days yet. I have a weeks patch at 20mg. I have results but I'm still in some pain. My DR has told me to use a further 10mg patch!  I will add this on Monday and write again."


"Was using Fentanyl patches but they caused me excessive sweating, so got switched to this.  Despite having had a gastric bypass which should have rendered this ineffective for me, my doctor has me take it twice a day instead of once, and it's the best pain medicine I've ever had.  It started working within an hour, and I love it.  Even been on Percocet, which I hated and didn't do anything at all for me, and Butrans, which made me suicidal, and a bunch of others.  This ones the tops!"


"I received my first dose with high expectations only to be let down with daily bleeding and rapid weight gain. I would not recommend this drug to anyone."


"My rating is based SOLELY on symptoms, I am unsure about the effectiveness being that I haven't checked my fibroid size yet to see if it has suppressed. To furthermore explain, I was diagnosed with a large fibroid about 10cm (outside my uterus) through a CT scan. I'm 28, no children, but hoping to conceive in my early 30s, therefore I chose to go on with the Lupron shot (3.75) to hopefully shrink the fibroid for surgery early next year. After reading the side effects, I was terrified and put this off for a year and a half. I have had ONE symptom and that is I do notice that my  (face) is a bit clammy/dry. Just wishing I never put it off due to fear. I just finished my first month. Will update how month 2 went in January!"


"Was put on this temporarily for anxiety but it doesn't work for me!! No relief from my anxiety whatsoever and it made me slightly sleepy...I'm not sure why this is even considered anti-anxiety?! It's basically Benadryl!!! I think it's prescribed over other meds because it's not addicting, which is a plus lol"


"This drug has changed my life. Before taking Cymbalta I was depressed, anxious and borderline suicidal. Within a few weeks of my first dose (60mg) I noticed that I was more outgoing, friendly and that my mood has significantly improved. Although I experience some sexual side effects, the drug has been incredible on the whole. I'd highly recommend it."


"I took this a few years ago for anxiety, panic, OCD, and mild agoraphobia and claustrophobia. It helped tremendously. I don't recall any side effects besides hands being shaky and a little more forgetful. I had to stop when I was trying to become pregnant and I'm not sure if it was the weaning off this or the switching to Zoloft but that process wasn't too fun. Not awful though. Still prefer over Zoloft!"


"I had to stop using this product very early on because it ruined my skin.  It made my skin unbelievably dry, and made me breakout on my forehead worse than it had in 5 years.  I also developed red blotches all over my face.  Don't buy this."


"I've had chronic urticaria for over 2 years now, and out of all the allergy medicines, Zyrtec works the best. My hives have become much harder to manage in the past year, so I need to take twice the Zyrtec I used to, but it still works much better than Allegra or Claritin for me."


"I have had sleep issues for years and years.  I took ambien (zolidem) for a couple years with some success then not.  Now I will take 15 mg if I am in dire need of a nap or on an airplane.  I will get 1-2 hours of sleep on that much med and wake up feeling great.  Very strange, but that's my experience."


"This is the best antibiotic for the treatment of sinusitis and bronchitis. ALL antibiotics can give you diarrhea because they also can destroy the 'good' bacteria in your gut. You can alleviate this by taking a pro-biotic in small doses, or just have some yogurt for breakfast."


"Just had my second injection of Bydureon. First one went fine-just little bits of nausea. The second one was two days ago. Last night I woke up sick as a dog with horrible vomiting and diarrhea. I've been ill for hours and am now missing work. That makes me unhappy.  Guessing it's the Bydureon but maybe stomach virus. Will check in with my dr today. Byetta I could not tolerate at all. I'm wondering if this one is the same."


"After 8 weeks virus free !! No discomforts.Typ 1"


"My doctor switched me to this. Horrible mood swings. Craving sweets all the time. And I've had migraines that I've never had before, while on this pill. "


"I have no pattern but I certainly feel like I have my period 3 out of 4 weeks. And it's been almost 2 years. That sucks, but, it's not enough to make me want to remove it early. I don't have any scarring from insertion and I've had no other side effects. Ended up having to buy a moon cup though as the cost of sanitary towels and the feeling of constant use of them was getting a bit much. I would still recommend it."


"After having the IUD inserted at planned parenthood, which the insertion was a bit crampy but I was fine afterwards. I had a bit of crampyness for 3-4 days but ibuprofen helped a lot and I have now had the IUD for a year and the periods have gotten better and the cramps have gotten less and less worse each time. I didn't pay anything out of pocket cause I went to planned parenthood and got onto Medicaid."


"Lifesaver. I have dry eyes and
Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis Thygeson. These drops give me relief within seconds. I don't use them every day I only use it as an emergency treatment (almost like an asthma inhaler). But when I do use it, boy does it give me relief. I'm very thankful for these drops. I tried everything else under the sun in terms of over the counter drops and none work as well as Pazeo."


"Finally took the sample given to me by my doctor after nothing else was making a dent in my migraine after approximately 12 hours. This worked literally within an hour. Felt wonderful and not at all "fuzzy" headed. Will always be keeping a dose of this on hand with me."


"Last year I broke out in hives all over my body from an allergic reaction.  Had panic attacks and suffered from anxiety - tingling in head, crazy numbness and so on, all anxiety symptoms, made me feel like I was going crazy. Lexapro has been a miracle medicine for me. I've been taking it for about 6 months.  I feel so much more calm and no more anxiety symptoms or panic attacks."


"Started on Tuesday of this week so excited to try something different since I had been on bupap for years. I took it around 230pm right after my yearly visit. Around 630pm I couldn't see in my left eye it was so blurry I had to close one eye to read. I was also confused felt like a child on ritalin. I was slow pace doing things. I didn't eat, soda tasted flat.  Wednesday I woke up with stomach pains blurry vision diarrhea and nausea..what a day to start. No motivation, ringing in my ears, light sensitivity I'm just plan through with this meditation..Thursday today I'm off but still have the side effects I don't know how long it will wear off. But I'm going back to bupap. Screw this that medication is for people one flew over the cuckoos nest!"


"I have been on Klonopin for years now to treat my severe anxiety.  Initially I tried other things like Xanax, Ativan, and Valium.  None of those compared to the relief I felt taking this.  The only downside is having to take more due to tolerance increasing, but it seems a very small price to pay to be able to function in the "real world". I recommend this to anyone who needs help managing their anxiety, well in conjunction with therapy."


"I have never in my life felt that helpless! Extreme pain, nausea, and felt faint. Don't take this if you are home alone. I was throwing up and having the runs at the same time! Barely had the energy to call my husbands name for help. He got me a cold rag and a water! I couldn't have gotten it myself it was that horrific! But it defintely relieves constipation! It's 100% going to clean your guts out! I took 2."


"I have been taking Qsymia for almost a month now and have lost 11lbs in 22 days. I am on a low calorie diet. I have had several side effects like constipation, insomnia, numbness in face and legs. Any carbonated drink taste like its been sitting out open for a day just flat no fizz at all. I do feel irritable at times but most side effects I can manage except the constipation that just plain hurts. I have an appointment on March 28th and I'll see how it goes with my progress and labs. I was at 290 lbs starting weight and I am down to 279 lbs. Seeing my belly shrink motivates me more to exercise and continue to eat healthier. It is quite expensive but I look at it like this, I waste money on other things that don't do me any better and this will."


"I have been using Suboxome for 8 yrs.works well to stop opiate use. DO NOT TAKE 16MG/4MG PER DAY IT IS WAY TOO MUCH. I TAKE JUST ONE STRIP PER DAY(8MG/2MG)SPLIT IN 2 DOSES TOTAL PER DAY. The problem is now I am hooked on the medicine. I am trying to find a way to get off of it,it is very difficult.I have had 2 surgeries over last 3yrs which required pain meds. When I took the opiates prescribed it took away the pain without the high. Good Luck!"


"Made me feel disconnected from world, like a living in fog. Now I'm on Depakote ER and I'm better"


"I started Victoza in September 2017 and have lost 40 pounds.  I'm thrilled with the weight loss however I continue to experience vomiting and diarrhea. Anything with red sauce is a big no for me. Can anyone recommend foods that they find are easy to manage? Any feedback is helpful. Thank you for your time..."


"I have been using Soolantra for 2 months and honestly it is the best thing I have tried so far. I had papulopustular rosacea (mostly on my cheeks) and now it is almost completely gone. The bumps were gone after roughly 1 month and now the redness is also more than 90% gone. I am just so happy I gave this a try. Also, one thing that you have to keep in mind: GIVE IT TIME. I did see progress from the beginning but also some occasional flare ups. Just stick with it. It's worth it!"


"This was the worst decision of my life ! Don't ever get this thing implanted inside of you . The insertion process is tragic and I was laid out in the table for an hour of the dr trying to force it into my small cervix. I had horrible headaches, started to develop acne , and I almost had a stroke one night . My eye was twitching for 3 days then my face began to spasm and started to droop and I had to go to the ER and was place on steroids . I've lost some of  my hair in the front and back of my head . There is NO  way u can tell me that this device didn't cause this! I had this device in only for 4 weeks ! And I was at my breaking point when I started experiencing lower leg pain and numbness when I was in the grocery store.say NO!"


"I have found that good way to beat the nausea is to stay away from dairy. Otherwise, I vomit within an hour of taking it."


"My doctor prescribed Cymbalta to combat the neuropathy in my feet and legs. Note: the first few months were great. The pain and tingles in my feet and legs went away and so did my depression! BUT After a few months, I began to get odd thoughts, manic, not characteristic of me. I told my doctor, who missed the signs. Two months after that, I began impulsive buying from an auction site. It got worse and worse, spending money I did not have, borrowing money from my paycheck and from relatives. Finally someone intervened. They recognized it was uncharacteristic and figured out it was the Cymbalta. I had to go through physical and psychological withdrawals."


"This drug was prescribed for me by a Doctor in 1983 for vertigo.

It worked beautifully and I occasionally take it when needed yet today."
