"I was on this about 2 years back. My acne was pretty bad. I would get it on my face, neck, back, and chest. This cleared EVERYTHING within 2 months. I ran out of prescriptions after about a year and around 5 months the acne came back even worse. I finally went back to the dermatologist a week ago and already it is showing a difference. It made my skin flawless before I'm sure it will do it again!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I had asked my gastroenterologist about the Miralax-Gatorade prep but he immediately shot it down and said that it does not do a good job cleaning out the colon and his preferred prep was Suprep. After reading many of the experiences shared on this site, I mixed the first dose last night and hoped for the best...and it wasn't bad at all! Yes, the mix tastes like weak grape soda mixed with salt water but using cold water to prepare it cut the taste. After the mix was consumed, I chewed minty gum while drinking the 32oz of plain water and was in the bathroom within 45 minutes, stayed about 2 hours, was able to go to bed, get up and shower and take the second dose this morning. Result: clean colon and A-OK colonoscopy this morning!"


"After one bottle and an all day liquid diet all is clear; it works fast. Taste was not bad but I put one drop of peppermint essential oil in cold water which I mixed with the liquid and experienced no nausea or terrible taste issues. Went to work much faster than I expected about 15 minutes after drinking it I was going for the rest of the night."


"I've been taking this pill for almost a year now (I had never tried any other birth control prior) and I've had no bad side effects. I've never had a problem with weight gain, and I haven't experienced any since I've been on the pill. No unusual mood swings. My skin cleared up dramatically. No terrible cramps anymore and my period has pretty much disappeared! Really wish I would have found this sooner!"


"No such side effects. Take 4 per day, every day."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've been on this birth control for about 2 weeks now, and let me explain I've never been on birth control before. I experienced just about no side effects so far, no unusual weight gain, headaches, or cravings. No bad mood swings and it already helping my acne (the reason I went on it). The downfall: I've been bleeding for the whole 2 weeks I've been on it. I started it the day of my period as instructed, usually I bleed for 4-5 days but I have had my period now for 2 weeks straight. I think it's getting light and about to go away and then I wake up the next morning and back again! If this side effect continues into the next pack I may have to give up beyaz:( I am on the generic by the way."


"Used it on my 7 day cruise.  Worked wonderfully during the cruise. No side effects and no nausea, even with 12 to 18 foot seas. About a day after I took the patch off, started having double/blurred vision and am extremely tired, even with 8 1/2 to 9 hours sleep. 4 days later and am still having blurred/double vision and still tired. "


"I got Mirena over a year ago, and for the first year it was great, but then I started to lose my sex drive. I didn't even suspect the Mirena, then a few months ago I started having my period every other week, constant heartburn and nausea every morning, my breast became sore. I honestly thought I was pregnant but 5 tests said otherwise. I'm going to my ob/gyn Friday to get it removed and hopefully everything will improve."


"Astelin is the only prescription antihistamine nasal spray approved to treat symptoms caused by both seasonal allergens and environmental irritants.

Astelin provides relief from bothersome nasal symptoms such as congestion, itchy/runny nose, sneezing and postnasal drip due to seasonal allergens or environmental irritants.

Astelin is steroid-free and does not contain pseudoephedrine."


"After 6 months on 10mg of Lexapro and then 2 months on 20mg, the effect has worn off. Very sleep and depressed again. At first it was a miracle for me but I've slipped back into my old feelings of hopelessness. Probably will talk to my doctor about pairing it with another antidepressant."


"Well I got this product at Walmart and wanted to try it for yeast infection. I have tried so many products and even called the doctor to prescribe me something for this problem, that did not even
work as much. So I dont like yogurt really and that is what the GYN doctor says to do but I tried
and its not for me. So I been taking partial half in the morning half at night because my body is
odd with medications. So far is it clearing little bit at a time and I see the difference. My teeth
are bad and my gums were red but now they are pink. I am a diabetic so I worry about taking
stuff over the counter. I have a few side effects but they subside but come back as I get used to
the medicine, but it amazing I see it improving."


"I've been taking buspar in differing doses on and off for over a year. I was prescribed it and 0.5mg xanax for severe anxiety and panic attacks. Taken together it was helping only couldn't function or take care of my daughter while taking both. Since moving to another state I stopped taking the xanax and then got pregnant so can't take it anyways. My anxiety and panic issues got better after moving to the new state. But getting pregnant again my anxiety came back . I was started on a slightly lower dose then was taking before and it was too much for me so my ob and I decided on a lower dose but I upped it due to not being helpful I will be upping again and hopefully it helps... Its a good medication if the right dose."


"Nuvigil worked the first day and did nothing thereafter. I was using it to alleviate the sleepiness and lethargy from Zoloft."


"I began using this cream a few weeks ago as my dermatologist prescribed it due to my photodamaged skin   I use it 2 or 3 times a week and find it fabulous. I don't like the smell though at all. While I have had no dryness or flaking but find my skin extremely sensitive and applying moisturiser often results in a mild stinging sensation.   I did find that using an Omorovicza oil was  good and did not burn then used a moisturiser. Wondering if others have this issue. On the whole I like the retin A and its results. I only use a cream cleanser as they are the most gentle. I did try a foam one but it also caused my skin to be aggrevated with retin A"


"I have been on Cymbalta for a year now. In the beginning I was feeling great; didn't lose any weight in fact I have gained 20lbs. A few months ago I started having terrible anxiety. Thank God I have Xanax."


"I absolutely freaked out TODAY when I went to get my IUD Because I read every. Single. Review on this website. Girls! Don't freak ourself out! My pain rating  was in the negatives! And it completely stopped my very heavy period in 12 hours. I know everyone's story is different but don't rely on reviews when it comes to your body :)"


"I had Implanon inserted in May 2009. The procedure was quick and painless. The only difficulty at that time was finding a practitioner trained in the insertion method.  The first two years on Implanon were wonderful, no periods, cramping, or other symptoms. Very worry free and effective.  Starting the 3rd year-when the dosage is decreased, I began having my period every other week for nearly 6 months now.  They are not light or spotty but full periods with all the symptoms.  I'm now deciding to remove Implanon early because of this. "


"EXTREME nausea and vomiting after only one day."


"My doctor prescribed this to help with my ulcerative colitis.  It has definitely helped and now I'm gradually going off of it.  I too experienced a big acne breakout after starting on prednisone.  I felt like I was in high school again!!  However, I'd rather have the breakouts then the side effects of ulcerative colitis."


"Mom took it for years and it caused her to have dementia!!  Do not take it long term!!!!!"


"I started generic brand of Prozac more than 3-4 years ago. I started at 20mg and am still on that same dose. Before Prozac, I lost almost 50 pounds because I didn't eat. I was depressed and always anxious. I was afraid of weird things, like taking a shower because I thought I would fall and die. I was afraid to win the lottery ( never would happen anyway lol) I never had anything like this in my life! I was newly wed, and just had baby. So I guess it was normal to have those feelings. Prozac has been great. first few weeks on it I had increased anxiety. Worse thing is I gained about 75-80 pounds !!"


"The summer I graduated from high school, I worked out hard, ate pretty moderate and I lost over 20lbs. Went from 158 to around 120. I decided to get on birth control so I chose nexplanon. My periods were very heavy and always random before then, my mood was pretty normal at the start. The plus I have not have a single period. So far I've notice symptoms increasing within the last 2 years. I've gained the weight I lost slowly overtime. I tried to compensate and work out even harder and eat right but the weight still doesn't budge. I have high highs and low lows no in betweens. I am starting to lose hair so much theres a few bald spots. For a constant hormonal birth control it does its job but the side effects definitely aren't worth it."


"I was on the depo for 2 years nd that made me feel as if I was Prego and my doctor told me about the vaginal ring and been on it ever since I love it although I forgot I already had one in and doubled up once and wondered why I did not get my period for that week.. It's easy to insert and no pain"


"I've been prescribed Flexeril a few times when I've severely pulled a muscle. I use it as a muscle relaxant only; to lower the pain of a spasm and be able to stretch the muscle a bit to loosen it.  When I was in PT I took it after when my muscles were tight and aching. It worked great for those days I overdid it. It's definitely not a pill to take during the day unless you've become accustomed to it. I can attest to efficacy for short term use up to 2 weeks, but am doubtful about how well it would work long term."


"Worked great for me, I had a high level of anxiety and within 2 weeks of taking Buspar I felt great no more sadness or anxiety."


"Been Taking Morphine Sulfate  30 my x 3 daily for 10 years for a collapsed  spine.  Rods and screws in neck and back, spinal cord stimulus implant also. Started having breathing problems about 2 years ago.  I had  a sleep study and the result was Central Apnea, obstruction apnea, sleep apnea. Dr said central apnea is caused by Morphine sulfate have an appointment  with Dr on 9-23-15.....Has anyone experience this????? Please Help"


"I had unprotected sex on August 10, also the last day of my period. He told me he pulled out but I wanted to just be on the safe side since I wasn't very safe with just word of mouth. Took the pill about 3 hours after the incident, and had no side effects. The only side effects were headaches, occasional cramps, and VERY SORE BOOBS about 2 weeks after taking, also had no spotting which worried me Bc seemed like everybody had that. Since my period wasn't due for another month, the waiting killed me. Last night I was cramping and woke up this morning to my period, 2 days early! Don't stress, as I did every night and day and didn't make the situation better. The pill WORKS."


"Could not control my heart rate naturally after going into SVT of 200 bpm. Tried bearing down, breathing techniques, but nothing worked. Had my wofe drive me into the ER where they prepped me for an IV and then gave me Adenosine. First time ever I had taken it for my SVT in the 36 years I have had it. It dropped my heart rate instantly to 130 then down to 90. I was amazed and relieved. I still prefer controling it myself but it is good to know there is something out there that works to control it when all other ways fail. I had no burning experience like others did. I do have a cottony feeling head and extreme tiredness 2 days after but that seems to come with a 1-2 hour 200bpm episode."


"No issues with this birth control."


"Thanks to Chantix i have now been smoke free since June 2010. I only took a month supply but that is all it took. Now when I think, smell or see someone smoke the desire for it quickly goes away."


"After taking Amitriptyline (sp), Ambien, trazadone, gabapentin & several others over the years for Insomnia my Dr. gave me a sample pack of Belsomra. It didn't help at all. It was like I didn't take anything. Hopefully they will come out with something that actually works."


"Ultram is the only medicine that stops the Fibromyalgia pain."


"Cipro really cured my urinary tract infection, but around my eyes I had hives and face swelling. But the medication out weighed the side effects.  I will take Cipro again."


"I was on TriSprintec for over 3 years now. Within those years I gained 30 pounds and my cup size has tripled. It also caused bad mood swings. Only good thing from it was that it kept my skin very clear! "


"I am 65 and active, to include hiking, walking in the gym yard work, etc.. Been on 10 mg of Lipitor or generic for 20 years.  Within the past 2 years I have experienced increased lower leg discomfort and within the past year what appears to be lower leg muscle loss, chronic plantar fascia, leg muscle tingling, and a feeling of weakness in my lower legs.  My primary care doc, who is Lipitor intolerant, attributed it all to age, cervicle stenosis, etc.  Have quit Lipitor and Prylosec (been on this for 10 years) and will readdress with my doctor (who's an internal medicine doctor) when I can get in to see him again in 3 weeks.  Some remediation of mental fogginess which has plagued me recently, but to date no releaf on leg issues."


"The pain is down, but I am having trouble sleeping and hot flashes.  At first I thought this was an effect of steroid injections, but I think it is this medicine.  I haven't slept all night in weeks. I will be in contact with my Dr. about this."


"STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!!

I have Rosacea sub type1. Tested this product on my left cheek so i could compare left from right. Worked great for the first few hours. Then all hell brakes loose. It made my flush to the extreme! Purple red color. Stopped using the product after 2 weeks. This was all about a year and a half ago. To this day the left side of my face where i applied the mirvaso is more red and more easily irritated than the right side."


"Had my first baby at 32 weeks and with my second baby I started the shots at 19 weeks with my Dr's I am pleased to say I'm 38 weeks with pregnancy and couldn't be happier with how the shots went. They are painful but it was worth it to know in not going to deliver  baby in the Nicu or have to worry about how small she will be as I did with my first... I would love to tell any mother that has the option to use the shots to do so!!"


"Extremely helpful!"


"Unbelievable searing pain down the right side of my right leg always first thing in the morning after getting out of bed. I quickly take two Aleve with a glass of milk and wait for the pain to subside which usually takes about forty five minutes. I am then fine for the rest of the day. I also do yoga exercises later in the day which helps."


"I took this medicine two days ago. The first day I took it around 8pm and couldn't fall asleep until 3am. I also experienced clenching my teeth that night and it made me so irritable. I noticed my stomach making funny sounds and I took it with a full glass of water and with food  The next morning I woke up with a horrible headache. I had an upset stomach and my jaw was so sore. I felt very nauseated and that passed after about three hours. Around 3pm I took it again since I knew it kept me up. I hardly ate at all that day due to feeling so sick. Around 7pm I felt like I might be hungry. I went to get fries. When I ate the fries they tasted different.  Pristiq made me so sick and made stuff taste different. "


"Has been a wonder drug for me! Have suffered from extreme constipation for years. Now have a regular bowel movement about 2 hrs after I take it. Took about 2 weeks to work so give it some time! Have never had the diarrhea side effect."


"After taking many antidepressants with temporary satisfaction and happiness for a few months, I decided to try Effexor for almost a year. It worked good for my anxiety and anger issues but not for my depression (It had the usual mild side effects like weight gain). Now I'm back on Lexapro (as this and Cymbalta worked best for me). To all: Don't be alarmed from all the horror stories of Effexor withdrawal. I weaned off with no worse discontinue symptoms then other medicines! As a matter of fact, I love the electric brain zaps! LOL."


"The amount of characters I can type is limited but my story is long, so I'll shorten it for you. I've almost had the injection for a full year. I have also almost had my period for a full year, August will be the anniversary, and also when I give up on this birth control. Not spotting, a full on period. Upon receiving my last shot, the technician severed a nerve, I've never had a good experience with the administration of this injection. If I do not strictly work out based on how much I eat every single day, I begin to gain immediately. I also have extreme, very extreme body odor, vaginal, oral, the worst is under my arms. It also completely ruined my libido. From start to finish, the experience has been nothing but awful."


"My mother started taking this medicine to help with her fibromyalgia and depression. A few weeks after she started taking it, she developed pain and stiffness (a rare side effect) in her right calf. (This was different from her fibromyalgia pain. Blood clots and various other problems were ruled out with dozens of visits to doctors).  She stopped taking the medicine but withdrawal was bad. Her doctor was of no help and was ignorant of the withdrawal effects. She still suffers from effects of withdrawal although most days are better than they were. However she still has immense pain in her leg and finally a doctor discovered that she had actual muscle damage. "


"I took the max strength two times a day for 5 months when I was 17 and it was well worth it.  Around the 2 month mark my acne got worse but then around month 3 and 4 it was completely gone and has never returned, the only time I get a pimple now is when I have an ingrown hair.  My suggestions are to keep a tube of Vaseline with you for your lips, stay out of the sun, and make sure that you don't give up early on the treatment because you think your acne is getting worse."


"I'd been taking eight or nine Norcos a day for almost a year when I started Suboxone two days ago. So, my habit wasn't as bad as many here, but it was bad enough that I knew the agony of withdrawal very well. To my surprise, Suboxone has not only erased my withdrawal symptoms almost entirely (with the exception of minor headaches here and there), but it's also helped with craving my old pills at all. But I think the best part has to be feeling my soul lighten again. I was depressed for months and months on those pills. They are, after all, a depressant. Since I started Suboxone yesterday morning I've felt like myself again. A gray pall of sadness has been lifted. Two things: it tastes dreadful and causes fatigue. Otherwise great!"


"Finally after years of pain, inflammation and not being able to bend my knee...my Dr. Suggested Orthovisc. He explained to me what is was, what it's for, what to expect and without a doubt I said yes! After being so miserable for so long I figured I had nothing to lose. After the first  injection I had relief, finally! It was tender for the first day, after that..it was fine. I completed the 3 week regimen and I'm so glad I went for it! My knee feels great!!! I'm going for the other one starting next week. Thank you Orthovisc and Thank you to my Dr. No pain, I can bed and walk pain free!"


"better than pain pills works the best and goes right to the pain"


"Suboxone/Subutex has saved my life.  After five years of opiate addiction, this medicine has set me free.  I feel contempt with life and normal, for once.  Buprenorphine is truly a miracle and life saver.  If you want to get clean, and you can find a doctor that truly wants to help you and understands addiction, there's nothing standing in your way.  It is expensive without insurance, but it is worth it.  I take 16mg of the Suboxone films a day, and I have not had a craving since I started taking them.  If you want to get clean, this is the best way to begin that process."


"Before skyla I'd been on the depo shot for 9 months. I'd had bouts with weight gain (20 lbs!) & depression while on it, so I decided to switch to skyla. Had it inserted 11/20. Took a vicodin before the procedure (didn't seem to help much). The procedure itself was fairly uncomfortable and painful. It wasn't debilitating pain for me - just uncomfortable with two sharp cramps (maybe a 8/10 on the pain scale, but they only lasted 30 seconds or less combined). I got it inserted at 4pm and was having 7/10 cramps the rest of the night, took some tylenol PM and slept like a baby. Woke up the next morning without any pain at all! Been having 3/10 cramps last few days, but that's it. Hardly any spotting."


"The patch started off a great alternative to the other options, but I quickly had too many issues with it to continue using it. It constantly peels off, it leaves big red itchy bumps, it loses its effectiveness after about 4 days, it makes me dizzy, nauseous, light-headed, it makes my heart race, and it gives me headaches. Too bad because it really killed the pain. Never mind the cost."


"First time using an anti-depressant after a year of mistaking symptoms for iron deficiency. Felt significant improvement with 5mg within first two or three days. Did experience nausea but was getting better at end of first week. Started 10mg in week 2, and the nausea returned and has not subsided. Also experiencing intimacy issues which I have never experienced before. Overall, I feel better mentally and emotionally, but the nausea makes it difficult to enjoy fully. Will ask doctor about going back to 5mg, or try something different."


"I had this for my epilepsy it got rid of 3/4 of my complex partials.  Gave me real bad constipation for a few months."


"Great relief. Other ones make me sleepy."


"I started to take this medicine on a Friday and last night (Monday night) I woke up in the middle of the night had the worst chest pain that I have ever experienced in my life. I have never felt pain like this that has actually scared me into feeling that I need to call 911. I eventually drank a lot of water and it helped me feel so temporary relief. Managed to fall back asleep but when I awoke this morning the pain is still there. Not as serious, but I gave my doctor a call and they recommended taking Tums. I took the Tums and the pain is not so severe but I'm pretty nervous to take these pills now. Can't say if its helped my infection yet because I have to go back to the doctors for a follow up for that to be determined."


"I'm a 25 year old male who has suffered from anxiety in the past. When I was prescribed anti-anxiety medication it really affected the erections I was getting, even now that I've stopped taking it it's almost like I forgot how to get and maintain an erection. I would only ever really get half hard erections, even in the morning. I was pretty disheartened and afraid to try anything else with any another girls for fear of more embarrassment. I tried Cialis and WOW... All the performance anxiety was gone and as soon as I was stimulated I was able to achieve and maintain an erection until climax. I was able to switch positions with ease and even switch rooms without my erection going anywhere!"


"I have been on bydureon for over six months.  I have noticed a big improvement in a1c which is now down to 7.1 at last appt.
The problem I have is that I get three months at a time since living some distance from the pharmacy in a different town.

I am at the end of the three month fill and my blood sugars are jumping.  I suspect that it may have been mishandled by the pharmacy, left out in open, even though I refrigerate it as soon as I get home.

Maybe its something else, but suspect improper handling.

Also on metformin and jardiance."


"I have suffered for 40 years with constipation. I was taking Amitiza but I suffered from hair loss. So my Dr suggested Linzess.  It took days to kick in and then it was out of control for at least an hour. I quickly began gaining weight, so I stopped the meds for a couple of months, dropped 8 lbs :) Well I decided to try the Linzess again to see if the weight gain was caused by something else....It was the Linzess 7 lbs in 8 days. I would rather drink mineral oil and drink Miralax instead of using this drug any more...Very Pricey."


"Been on it since 2013. Has been very effective especially against the awful fatigue and has decreased the pain dramatically."


"I have been in pain for years. Surgery 17 years ago, I'm only 39, that has left my back a degenerating mess. I found the right doctor who explained my back scans, remarking that I should be in extreme pain ALWAYS. Yeah, it's gotten there. Robaxin to the rescue! So far it's great. I think I need more frequent dosing. 1500mg per day prescribed. I'm taking 2250 (3 pills). It makes me feel nausea, yet allows me to get to my new job and work without an embarrassing spasm. Mine are BAD, so this medicine is helping. "


"I started at 72kgs., but after 6 DAYS of taking this pill, I lost 4kgs!!! I am so happy about the progress and I hope this will continue. I am planning take this for about 6 months so I can get back to my normal weight of 42kgs - that was my normal weight before I gave birth. Hopefully, this amazing weight loss would continue. I am trying to avoid oily foods and I have been eating more green leafy vegetables. I think it's working well for me. I'm not being bothered by oily stools anymore since I've been eating less fat and more fiber. Never had any "disturbance" at work as long as I avoid fatty foods at work."


"I used Intal for 25 years to control my asthma and it worked wonderfully.  I never had problems.  Since it has been discontinued, I am on Symbicort and Singulair and my health is unstable.  I seem to suffer from every side effect of Symbicort.  I wish someone would start making Intal again."


"I was prescribed Advair in combination with Spiriva after a bad asthma type attack in 2010 (1 of 3, the 1st in 2001; 2nd in 2007).  I finally went to a Pulmonary Specialist in early 2010. The inhalers combined with a series of oral prednisone helped me to recover fully.  At the advice of my new doctor I continued using the Advair and Spiriva daily.  In 2013 I developed Virtigo and continuous bladder infections, determined that was related to the Spiriva, so I stopped that one.  Several times during the 5  years,I have attempted to stop using Advair.  I think it is addicting in nature; I am unable to breathe without it!   THAT SUCKS....Especially since I was doing fine without any inhalers prior to continued use of Advair."


"My husband takes this for inflammation of the Sciatic nerve, and has helped him a lot"


"I am 52 years old with no other medical problems. After having a Reclast treatment I have had very few side effects. I took 1200mg a day of Calcium Citrate and Vitamin D for about two weeks before my treatment and drank lots of water the day of the treatment before and after my treatment. I was able to go back to work the day after my treatment with no pain."


"I feel like it helps to lower my blood sugar, but sometimes the side effects are unbearable. I have severe stomach problems. I take 1000mg twice a day."


"Works the best for me out of all other migraine medicines and I've tried many!"


"I've had occasional bouts of RLS since my late twenties, and it's gotten severe in the past two years. Day and night, multiple limbs. Neurologist gave me samples of NeuPro and I saw no changes at the 1mg or 2mg levels. Once I hit 4mg, however, my RLS has gotten even more severe, and shows up daily to the point where I can't sleep. It has raised my blood pressure, caused strange flickering in my eyes, and I am utterly exhausted all day. I so wish this medication would have helped. Fortunately I've been on samples and has a savings card that brought my copay down to only $10 per month."


"I wanted to share my experience with the hope no one else will have to deal with. I have used depo, the pill, IUD and have now went with the nuvaring. I started that February 1, 2016 and it was out by February 22, 2016 (mind you I was told to keep it in until the 25th). Why because of lots of things. I most of the side of effects and it took me a week to put that's why I felt how I did. I was sleepy, nausea like crazy, and cramping. I read the side effects over and over. I never put that the pain I was having in my chest was part off it. February 23,2016 I found out I have a blood clot in my right lung caused by nuvaring!! This has caused so much stress on my family. We are still dealing with it now!!"


"This drug works well unless your uti has resistance to it. My side effects were headache and nausea. Drink lots of water and eat before you take it."


"I've been on this for a little over 2 years. I was very emotionally unstable before, and asked to be switched to one that doesn't alter moods so they chose this one. My period comes the same time every month and no more cramps! I had terrible cramps the whole first day I started, no matter what I did. Now they're nonexistent!  And I finally feel like myself again. I recently gained weight but not due to the birth control. It's a great choice for me!!"


"It was a great relief that it worked for me after years of going to various GIs. I like it more than the newer drugs because it is not a systemic drug, so it is less harmful over time. Strongly encourage it before using the newer medications."


"I have been taking Microgestin for 10 years and have experienced minimal side effects. The positives: My periods are much lighter, shorter, and I have less cramping. My skin cleared up dramatically, I would get cystic acne and this pill in combination with tretinoin from my dermatologist has drastically improved my skin. I have experienced no weight gain. The down side is my libido has decreased recently (only after being on the pill for many years); I'll be switching pills temporarily to see if there is a difference. I did stop taking this pill for about 6 months and I immediately gained weight and my acne returned. If it works for you, it's a great lo dose option!"


"My daughter had Leukemia and had a bone marrow transplant that did not take. During one of her last bouts of chemotherapy she developed a bad rash. She was given Fluticasone Propionate Cream for her skin. It helped clear up some the rash that was considered eczema or even graft versus host disease. I think that this not only helped clear up the rash, but felt good when I applied it. I would gently apply a thin layer and give her little massages to go with it. I liked this cream for her situation."


"I used to have headaches for many years and I visited a lots of doctors and got no results. My last doctor gave me Nortriptyline(25) and Propranol(40) for every night. Since then my headache is about once in a month. I am very happy. The side effects are dry mouth and weight gain."


"I'm on my 2nd week of the tritation. I do have some headaches my skin is itchy and I have a weird heartburn sensation. However I will continue I hope the positive will outweigh  the negative.  It was hard to get this pill  so I really want  to try and makes it through  this tritation.  My other meds are letrais and sildeifide. which I love"


"I have tried 3 other types of seizure medications, but they all seemed to have many more negative side effects.  Keppra XR has been a good medicine for me at this time and any noticeable side effects went away within a short time."


"I can't say if it works or not because I just put it in about ten minutes ago but it burns so bad. I thought something was wrong and that I needed to go to the ER. Once I read most of the comments I've realized that most people die in pain when they use it. Currently soaking in the tub but still in a crap ton of pain. Won't be using this again because it hurts so bad"


"I got the implant a little over a year ago. The doctor made it sound great (no pills, etc..) so I went for it. Here I am a year later...STILL bleeding every day. I haven't experienced any other side effects (maybe hair thinning but that might just be me getting paranoid) and it has been effective in preventing pregnancy as well as convenient. The cons definitely outweigh the pros though, I am now starting an estrogen pill on top of this to hopefully regulate the bleeding. Buying sanitary items constantly over the past year has also gotten expensive. I will not get this replaced and hopefully can get it removed soon."


"I have been very pleased with this product. My worst issues have been headaches and random spotting that happened off and on for the first few months but the headaches are never terrible and seem to have vanished now. I only get periods maybe every 3-4 months and when I do they're very light and easily managed. I like the Nexplanon as it does not interfere with my day to day activities, the side effects are minimal, and I don't even think about it unless I rub my hand against the placement site. I would get it again."


"Prescribed Zyprexa after taking Duloxetine/Cymbalta made me suicidal.  It did mellow my mood, helped me gain back the 30 lbs I had lost during height of illness.  Hated the inability to laugh or cry. Hated the dry mouth. As a dancer the stiff, dry joints were dangerous. I hurt my knee because the extreme change in my flexibility. Took it for 3 months."


"I am taking 200mg a night for sleep for a little over a year. No problems except when I miss a nightly dose, I feel hung over the next day. Recently, I have been waking with a headache. I am going to cut my dosage down by 25mg and see if that will help. My worry is to have an uncomfortable withdrawal period."


"My weight gain started in 1/2017 when I stopped moving due to pain from degenerative disc disease. I had neck surgery in 6/2017 & was shocked I weighed 189lbs, I am 5’2” and 63 yrs old. I wasn’t able to exercise until 9/2017 due to my recovery & started w/o meds on the Atkins diet. I had mild success & asked my Med prof for advice. We discussed Saxenda. I was willing to try it until my pharmacy told me my insurance (Horizon BCBS) does NOT cover weigh loss meds. It was $1100+ to fill the Rx!! So NO GO! My Med prof was able to help me w/an 18 day sample. I’ve been on it for 4 days, too new to rate. Reduced hunger @ low dose 0.6ml, but bad headaches. Do I want to take this to lose weight SO MUCH, if this is a side effect? 167.5 now 132 goal."


"At 60 years old with needle like pains and over 30 years of generalized anxiety it took two weeks of a little fog. I started taking at night 30mg. I am the guy I use to be today. Not worried about getting off because I'm not. I have tried it all and for depression caused by pain will fix this. Give it time. I put an X on each day and quit after a month. Smooth sailing."


"I was placed on Lipitor 10 mg after trying all of the other cholesterol reducing drugs.  Developed after three days, very stiff neck and overall muscle soreness.  Doctor ordered a CPK test and my levels are off.  She discontinued me on this medication.  Must not be for everyone.  Will continue with my diet and exercise.  My cholesterol must be hereditary since I follow Weight Watchers, have lost weight and I exercise daily."


"It has changed my life. I have been more active and focused on my goals. I am taking 70 mg of it a day. None of the ordinary antidepressant has helped me to overcome my depression. I have had a problem with substance abuse . So my Dopamine level was so low since then."


"Helps me a lot when the hayfever starts."


"I have had leg pain for over 5 years now.  I have taken tramadol for the pain.  I never thought it was restless leg because I never felt like moving my legs, they just ached so bad in the morning when I woke up.  my doctor just added requip 2 days ago and it was amazing.  I slept past 5am and woke at 8am with NO LEG PAIN and didn't need my 2 tramadol!! unbelievable! I am so excited to possibly cut my tramadol dose down because I was always so tired on tramadol! Im hoping this will work for awhile.  My starting dose of requip is .25mg."


"DRUG is very effective but I also take 3 other medicines along with this. After evening meal I take 100mg - blood pressure before taking it is 192/112 and 30 minutes after is 152/91."


"I WAS SCARED TO TAKE CIPRO. I REALLY FREAK OUT WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE MEDICATION. But I did with the support of friends and it works great for urinary tract infections with the first dose. I do have heartburn and gas but I'm still taking it and I will add a Zantac and Gas X tomorrow. "


"I've been taking 20mg of citalopram for over 3 months now and I notice quite a difference in my depression. 3 months ago I was crying almost everyday, often multiple times a day. I had no motivation, was not enjoying life and wanted it to be over. Now I no longer cry for no reason, have more motivation and am enjoying life a lot more. Some days I still feel depressed but I have way more good days than bad days which is great. I haven't noticed any side effects, although sometimes I feel like I am almost "too happy". I guess I haven't been eating as much either but I would consider that a good thing as I was eating my emotions previously."


"I had been on Zoloft 300mg for years and dropped down to Zoloft 200mg for almost a year and my doctor decided to try me on Savella for my fibromyagia. I made it to the 10th day of the the titration pack and could not deal with the bad side effects any longer. I was up for over 72 hours straight, chills, hot flashes, confusion, electrical shocks throughout my body, severe muscle pain, very irritable, out of mind and body thoughts, felt out of my body, etc. On about the 6th day my doctor put me on Soma 350mg (for the muscle pain and electrical shocks) and Klonopin 1mg to help with the anxiety and panic attacks. My doctor first tried to wean me back off of the Savella but two days later I had to call him back and he had me stop it cold turkey and go back on Zoloft 200mg."


"I started taking this medication in conjunction with Lamictal.  Although it is not recommended, my psychiatrist suggested for the first few days I cut the 50mg tablet in half.  I am glad I did.  After reading everyone's reviews about the stomach upset and headaches, I decided it might be beneficial.  I took 25mg for about 6 days then upped to 50mg.  I had slight stomach upset and a few mild headaches.  I take it as soon as I wake no later than 8am.  I have seen a huge reduction in my appetite.  I was a binge eater of sweets before I started and at 5'3' weighed in at 150lbs.  In three weeks I have lost 4lbs.  This is the most stable I have been since I can remember."


"I experienced spotting the entire time I was on this pill, which I have not had happen on other pills. Ended up switching after 3 months."


"I'm starting my diet on 1/19/15, so excited.. I'll report back in 1month with my results.. Thank you for your reviews.."


"In 2 days I feel 80% better! I did have some cramping and diarrhea, it has almost stopped. On 3rd day now-pretty strong medicine."


"Started taking lexapro about 2 and half weeks ago. Started at 5mg dose and upped to 10 week later. Side effects were pretty full on after upping to 10mg. Insomnia, nausea, felt like I was on another planet, stick I out and turned a corner after 7 days on full 10mg dose. Feel good now. Has made improvement with my anxiety.....presuming this will get better with more time 4-6wks."


"Put this on yesterday at 12:00pm on the right side of my hips, and my right leg subsequently felt funny ever since - like it was heavy and cramping, but I had chalked it up to my anxiety disorder playing tricks on me. Then last night while changing my clothes I found a new bruise on that same leg that was giving me trouble. I called my prescriber and yanked the damn thing right off my skin. Leg still feels funny but I have no other symptoms other than that since; but I was very tired, getting cramps, and would get hot flashes on and off.

Needless to say it's still a mystery with what's happening to me, but I've been scared off this BC for good."


"I had this implant inserted in July of 2015 and now, almost November, i haven't stopped bleeding since the week after I had it inserted. Also my mood has completely changed. My mom tells me that I'm not the same happy person anymore and I've gained 10 pounds. I exercise regularly and eat healthy. It's a great birth control for preventing pregnancy because there's non stop bleeding! Don't recommend this at all. Better experience with the pill"


"I have a feeling that the people commenting that it "doesn't work" are the ones expecting Alli to be a "miracle pill" for weight loss. You CANNOT eat rubbish whilst taking these, it won't work. It's as simple as that. Yes, the pounds won't literally slide off you, but they assist you alongside a healthy, low fat diet and exercise.

I lost a steady 2lbs / 3lbs a week using these. Diet was full of fish, meat, fruit and veggies, and I snacked on healthy nuts and seeds (I also took a multivitamin supplement as recommended). I did HIIT workouts and jogged 3-4 times a week. They work if you put the effort in and they're used properly."


"Been on it for over a year (with a one month hiatus in there). First of all, I take psyllium husk fiber every day and have NO diarrhea...definitely recommend that people on (and not on) Otezla do that. Do get occasional headaches but not too bad. Psoriasis is under control. Had bad plaques but those are mostly red skin areas now. Biggest improvement on the face...which makes this worth it to me. I do enjoy the side effect of weight loss. Would definitely recommend that one with bad Psoriasis give it a try (and stick out the first couple weeks). Still need to use a few topicals as well."


"Great treatment for addiction to opiates."


"Though expensive (I can usually find a coupon), I love this birth control! I noticed no weight gain or breakouts...it actually cleared up my skin. Very short periods (4 days of inactive pills) usually last 2 days. Recommended for sure, if covered by insurance or have the money."


"Nasacort does not always work right away and often needs time to build up in your system. I didn't think it worked at first, but I eventually realized it did. It does a pretty good job of opening up my nasal passages that often have severe congestion. It is a lifesaver when I'm sleeping and wake up with horrendous sinus pressure. It works instantaneously.

I have had zero side effects. I am prone to anxiety like I'm assuming a lot of other people here. The first day or two I took it, I attributed a faster heartbeat and feeling blue to the Nasacort. It's false correlation due to panic.

Please don't be afraid to take this because of side effects read about by other panickers."


"I've been having repeat bladder/kidney infection... 5 in 4 mths.. have no idea the cause..being sent for kidney scan.My last lot of antibiotics ( currently) were these.. I got to day 4 and was hit with a high fever, uncontrollable shivering, every muscle in my body hurt, sore back & neck and thumping headache. took paracetamol and ibrofen and within 3 hours started to feel my temp come down. The next morning I read the side effects..OMG..I was experiencing most of them the wheezy breathing and cough now started. Because it's a Saturday and it says consultant your doctor if you experience any side effects. I've just stopped taking them... it was really scary. From reading the other comments I think it'll take 2 days to start to feel better."


"Was on Remicade for over a year, which cleared the ulcerative colitis within a few weeks. However within two weeks after the Remicade I started having arthritis systems that got so severe I was taking Vicodin every 4 hours and still unable to sleep, or just do usual chores around the house. My hands were so swollen, I couldn't use them. Finally Dr. decided to try Humira every 2 weeks. I have gone back to doing most of my chores, walking the dogs and my hands are no longer swollen. I am starting to feel like a normal person again. Have only had three injections, which sting like the dictions for a few minutes but it is worth it not to be in pain all the time. I hope this continues."


"I fell over a year ago and have had chronic back pain ever since. I have bulging discs in L3,4 and 5, degenerating discs, and spinal stenosis. I have tried Norco, which no longer works. I recently tried Nucynta (no pain relief and very tired side effects), so I am sticking with the Opana. Overall it does a pretty good job with pain. I just feel like my tolerance is building up over the 9 or so months I have been taking it. I take 20 ER first thing in the morning, and 10 mg IR one or two more times during the day. I still take Norco for breakthrough pain, but even that doesn't seem to touch the pain anymore... I recommend Opana for pain relief and I can still work with a clear head!"


"I'm another one wishing I had read up of this product before using it. As many on here, I too felt better BEFORE using this product. The burning is unbelievable!!! After using the bathroom and releasing the stupid cream, I once again am feeling like I'm being tortured for my life long sins... for those of who it did work for good on you but 90% of us felt like @#!&^×^÷ ...just stay AWAY from this product!"


"I have been a lifetime dieter and now I have defeated that. I was 5"4 197 pounda and smoked. I started on Belviq April this year and have stopped smoking and lost 38 pounds. My husband is happy and so is my doctor as I was his third patient all doing better then he thought. No side effects and no cravings. This has made my life better then I can even describe."


"I started taking Phentermine 37.5mg in July 2015. My weight loss was very slow in the first month only about 5 lbs or so despite a daily workout routine. After about six weeks the weight just started falling off. I am in my third month and have gone from starting at 247lbs to 220lbs a total of 27 pounds...I have not exercised the past month due to back problems yet I still have no appetite...Side effects are dry mouth, constipation and unpleasant taste in my mouth.  Insomnia is bad however even though I don't get much sleep I am never tired either.  I say the benefits outweigh the side effects! My mood is much improved and I have no taste to drink alcohol or smoke! It's definitely worth a try"


"I have battled psoriasis for 15 yrs trying nearly every topical & biologic treatment available.  The only drug that ever provided me with 100% clear skin was Stelara, but unfortunately it stopped working after 3 years.  I have been on Taltz for about 5 months.  After my first two injections I experienced a reduction in plaques & itching and that progress remained while I was on the bi-weekly injections although I never cleared up by more than about 40%.  As soon as I finished the bi-weekly loading period & had to wait a month in between injections my skin immediately reverted to the level of severity experienced prior to beginning Taltz.  No negative side effects but this injection hurts more than Stelara, Humira, Cosyntex, & Enbrel."


"Helped my migraines a lot! However had severe constipation, gained 45lbs in 6 months, gave me night terrors and caused me to have slight depression. For migraines though it was great but due to all the side effects I was having, I have since switched. I would recommend Elavil to migraine sufferers it worked for me!"


"This has been the only medication that has worked to combat both my narcolepsy and cataplexy symptoms. Before taking this I was just on high doses of stimulants and even though they helped energy wise I still had massive brain fog and when my stimulants wore off my cataplexy got even worse. This stuff is a miracle and have no idea what I would do without it."


"I had to take this for a colonoscopy. Having not been allowed to eat all day for the day before the examination, I was quite apprehensive about putting this strange smelling lemony stuff in my mouth.
Needless to say, I found it incredibly hard to drink. It took me around 2 1/2 hours to finish the first litre, starting at 5pm and finishing (eventually) at 7.30pm. It took about an hour for the medicine to work properly, after I was stuck to the sofa with bad stomach cramps.
The second litre didn't go down well at all. I was very bloated and felt like I was going to vomit, which I didn't want to do, as then it would have all been for nothing. It's 5am now and still half a litre to go. Hoping it will be okay as I'm still stuck to the toilet."


"I have only been on this a month.  I am one of the several of you ladies who are going thru the antagonizing trial and error for the "perfect" birth control.  Zarah seemed perfectly fine when it came to controlling my mood swings and not getting me prego!  BUT, I have gained weight, and on my period week my flow was very heavy and crampy, plus it lasted the whole 7 days....eww, I am not used to that.  I also did take note of how it effected my sex life.  I still wanted sex, but noticed I had a very hard time trying to orgasm.  sorry if that's too much info but I personally like knowing how the birth control effects my sex life.  I hope some of this info helps.  don't give up ladies!"


"The taste is so bad I had to try to keep from throwing most of it back up.  WHY in the world would they add that awful "fruity" flavor?? Miralax doesn't taste like anything, take note SurePrep!  Seriously some of the most disgusting flavored stuff I've ever had the misfortune of drinking.  Vomited some of it back up but luckily got most of it down.  It worked to clear things out but at what cost?  Just spent 4 hours walking around my living room trying not to throw up!  I'll go back to the old method thank you.  Expensive and disgusting!"


"I've had the slyla iud for 4 months now and the first time I got it I had really bad cramps, dizzy and was sweating like crazy.  When I get my period I get the worst cramps of my life. The cramping lasts about 3 days which heating pad and Motrin has helped a bit. I've had light spotting for 3 months which makes it difficult to have intercourse with my boyfriend. I've gained about 10 pounds. Not too satisfied but not kids so far which is a good thing."


"I've used this for 10 years. I alternate between regular and extended release form. The extended release form seems to give me morning grogginess no matter how long I take it, but extended release has some benefits if you are not sleeping through the night. I was diagnosed with parainsomnia when I was 10 years old, and struggled with it for 20 years, after taking several different prescription medicines that didn't work or side effects were so awful, I started taking this. It has changed my life because now I feel like I have a life. I wake up refreshed with energy to make it through the day. I take only 3mg a night and started taking 3mg during the day to help with my Fibromyalgia."


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


"I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 13 due to my cerebral palsy I had been taking zonegran since then I had weaned myself off of my medication when I got pregnant and had been seizure free for almost 7 years I recently had a relapse and began seeing a different neurologist she put me on keppra THE WORST three months of my life my moods would go from 0-60 in a matter of seconds and for no valid reason I had trouble remembering things even troubling with communication it’s true I also began to have suicidal thoughts and became to much to handle even for myself I would randomly cry then get angry I recently was referred to another neourologist who asked me about these symptoms and then it clicked I DO NOT recommend this medication to anyone"


"I just got the Skyla put in today and it honestly was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. After reading all the reviews before hand I was really nervous but I did what my doctor instructed which was to take 800 mg of ibuprofen and eat an hour before my appointment and I was fine! Yes there is cramping but nothing unbearable at all. So far so good! I just thought that I would share my experience of the insertion on here so some girls won't be as scared and worried like I was before going in! Everyone is different but this was my experience."


"I was put on Effexor 37.5 for hot flashes.  I had uterine cancer and went into very fast menopause.  After trying to live with the hot flashes for about 6 months, I asked for help.  Effexor has been wonderful. I am now able to sleep through the night.  I really only have a hot flash when I forget to take my medicine."


"My father has started the treatment 2 months ago, and the virus in your blood lowed. However, the sides effects has being terrible. My father feel worse now than before the treatment. He has cognitives problems now, problems to speak, he lost interest in everything. We did a magnetic ressonation in your brain and they found a tumor probably linked to the medicine. My father is transplanted, now we are trying to figure out this, because he cant do the treatment to solve the tumor."


"THE PILL WORKS! My period ended on June 9th. Days after on the 17th, I had unprotected sex and was not sure if my boyfriend had came in me or not. Seven hours later I had bought the pill and drank it just in case.Stupidly, on the 20th, I had sex again. This time my boyfriend had a condom on. But it broke and he came inside of me completely. I was freaking out cause I'm only 17, and can't afford to be pregnant. But I bought the pill three hours later and drank it. Some side effects I was experiencing was backaches, headaches, nausea, vaginal discharge and brown spotting. Lucky to say I got my period today! At the expected time. Thank you plan B! Any side effects you experience ladies are all alike to pregnancy, just don't stress!."


"Just average"


"I have been on brintellix for three weeks. I have not felt any effects what so ever. It only serves to make me vomit nearly every morning. Libido is zero. This only adds to my anxiety and depression. It is also very expensive costing me nearly $450 a month. If I felt just a little better I would not mind spending the money. Drug companies just suck!  For the money this med is just not worth it and I will request another anti depressant from my MD at my next visit"


"I bought the Monistat 7 since I am pregnant and my doctor recommended it for my yeast infection. I have the plastic applicators and I took a bath and applied the cream inside with the applicator. I am currently squirming around as I'm writing this. I don't understand why it feels like this. I'm trying to stick it out in hopes that it is killing the infection but I seriously want  scrape it all out. It is burning... not too painful but enough to drive me INSANE. I mean I can not stay in one position for more than 10 seconds. It's like an itch that can't be scratched way up in there. It's literally torturing me. My advice is to try something else."


"I started using Azor 10/40 after my blood pressure was consistently 190/120. I take 1 a day and get readings as low as 108/65, but usually stay at the 115/75 range. What an awesome product. All this after using 7 different drugs to get one to work."


"Sure, does work."


"I've taken Zoloft for several years: once to help with OCD when I was younger and more recently to help with depression. Overall I definitely experienced less crying and general hopelessness on Zoloft. I still had my bad days but in general it's manageable. The biggest side effect was the weight gain. I gained about 20 lbs in a year. I also felt like I sweat easier on this medication, especially my palms. This was pretty minor though. I'm switching to another medication due to the weight gain and I will say the withdrawals from Zoloft are tough. My emotions were really heightened and anything could make me cry. Be sure to tell your loved ones that you'll need some extra support as you taper off."


"Been on 10 and 15 mg.
Sticking with 15 mg for now. It is working amazingly. I have been on literally everything over the counter and prescription meds so this was a hell marry and scored at the buzzer. I sleep all night and am out within an hour of taking it.  I'm more alert and active then I have ever been and has helped with my depression."


"I recently (two days ago) had to prepare for a colonoscopy (among other things) using SuPrep.  I spent a ton of time reading reviews and blogs about how to make this kind of prep as easy as possible, and now that I've done it, I know for sure that it is not nearly as bad as most people make it sound.  Sure, it's not "pleasant" by any stretch, but I do feel like there are a lot of folks who over amplify some negatives regarding this prep.  Now everyone is different and bodies all react in their own way, so to each his/her own, I guess!

Taste - I didn't think this was nearly as bad as folks made it sound. Got my drinks completely down in 4-5 minutes both times!
Effectiveness - yeah, it worked!
Tip - drink a ton of fluids constantly!"


"I started Yaz about 3 months ago and like many of you, I have zero faith in it's ability to help my acne. I've had cystic acne for about 3 years and although it was never awful, I always had at least one or two unsightly blemishes. It took about 3 months to really work, and the first 3 weren't awful but they weren't great. If you have acne and are looking for relief, TRY YAZ! It's honestly amazing. Seriously. I've never posted anything before, I truly believe in this stuff."


"I was diagnosed with acid re-flux in May of 2013 while seeing an E.N.T. about some laryngitis I'd had for a couple of months following a cold.  He used a camera to look at my throat and said my acid re-flux was severe and that I should begin taking a prescribed medication; Omeprazole beginning that same day.  I had never experienced heart burn in my life except while pregnant and believed the doctor was wrong, still, I did as he asked.  Omeprazole 20 mg once each morning.  After 6 mos of continued use I forgot to take it one morning.  By early afternoon I had the worst heartburn EVER.  I can't help feeling this me GAVE ME acid re-flux and now I'll have to take this medication for the rest of my life??"


"Recently diagnosed with MS (December, 2015 - 3 months ago) The MS specialist at UTHSC San Antonio prescribed Ampyra.  I had extreme weakness in my right leg and some weakness in my right ankle, causing some problems walking and forcing me to cut way back on my biking and to go to traditional flat pedals as I could no longer work my foot well enough to use single entry clip in road bike pedals.

Started Ampyra March 8, 2016 and within 48 hours I noticed a HUGE difference in leg function.  It's now been two weeks and I'm back to using clip in pedals (MTB dual entry alas) on my bike and up to 30 miles per ride @ 15 mph, up from 20 miles @ 10 mph.  That's a true quantitative measurement of improved function.

Don't wait to try this stuff."


"Wonderful! Was having constant nausea/vomiting after eating. Took this after I ate and I feel fine!"


"I had been using inhalers - steroid (Serevant) and fast acting ones for many years. I couldn't climb stairs without needing a "puff". I couldn't play with the kids without having to stop often. After one serious attack I had to use an atomizer at the doctors office and I started Singulair from the next day. I have not used or carried an inhaler for almost 10 years now. It has changed my life. I can run with my kids, walk up stairs, shovel snow, etc. "


"I think it works great for teeth pain, it works for me.  It was terrible for chronic back pain I have degenerated disc, 3 herniated  discs that are turn, stenosis,  need back surgery and was prescribed gabapenten  did not relieve back pain at all."


"First week was hell, I was about to give up. I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud and found it hard to fall back asleep once I awoke. I soon realised if I did not drink any alcohol with the drug I slept to well. My mood is better and I 100% less anxious than before. I only take 25mg as I found 50mg too much. I have been on this now for 5 months and wish I had taken it years ago.
Only side effect I do not enjoy is slight weight gain. 6lbs so far but it is worth it."


"Using Chantix was the best decision I have made! It won't make you quit smoking but if your ready it's a great tool. I followed the directions as it said and on the seventh day I quit and havnt picked up another cigarette. I did gain a few pounds the first 2 weeks after quitting but after that I went back to my normal eating habits although I do chew a lot of gum. I only experienced weird dreams as side effects which went away after a few weeks, definitely not bothersome.  I definitely recommend Chantix if your ready!"


"Been on Zoloft 50 mg for 3 weeks and I'm starting to feel like myself again. I have MDD, ADD, anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia but since taking this medication I am sleeping again and waking up without my alarm which has never happened.  I was a little sick for the first few days however it passed.  My panic attacks are almost gone.  My doctor agreed to increase my dosage to 100 mg to see if I can get a little better I'm almost where I want to be but my negative emotions have subsided tremendously.  I know this road is hard for all of us but don't give up.  Remember the chemical make up in your brain changes overtime, so when something stops working seek help.  Best regards!"


"1 month results, started Phentermine 37.5 (oblong blue speckled pills) on 3/3/17 at 225 even. Today 4/3/2017 I had my 1 month weigh in at 209 even. I lost 16 lbs!  This pill truly does feel like magic, it makes it very easy to stick to a healthy/clean diet because your cravings are literally gone. I went from thinking about food every minute of the day to hardly remembering to eat. I do make sure I eat at least 1000-1200 cal a day, sometimes closer to 1400. I am an avid runner but my schedule doesn't always permit, so I make sure to try and walk at least 45 minutes a day....food is a lot of lean meat, fruit and vegetables. The only side effect that is inevitable is dry mouth. I will update next month!"


"I was diagnosed with CPP at the age of 7 and began the course of Lupron shots monthly and would go every six months for check-ups. I did get my period one time when I was 8 years old while still on the shot. I must have started treatment too late because I never reached my full adult height. Now, at the age of 22, I am right under 5 ft. (4'11). It caused a lot of weight gain as well."


"I took the first dose at 6pm last night and the teste was the nastiest stuff I ever had ..I did not read these reviews first , so I did not know about the keeping it cold or using a straw.. I did take a sip of water between every few gulps of the poison tasting liquid.. It barely worked on the first dose .. I waited a few hours and only went one time to the bathroom.. Today I took the 2 nod dose and was gagging as much as yesterday..This time I went to the bathroom sooner and a few more times..BUT I do not think I am totally cleaned out.. I had my first colonoscopy about 9 years ago  and took a million pills with no taste and worked perfect.. I hope I will be cleaned out enough to have my procedure done..."


"I have had two injections of Stelara so far and I am clear of all psoriasis.  I did not have psoriasis too bad, just on my hips, elbows and the side of my nose. I have kept my head shaved which helps keep it off my head. I have been dealing with psoriasis for over 20 years, but have just recently developed psoriatic arthritis (about 3 years now)  I was on Enbrel and it worked well for the psoriasis but did nothing for the arthritis, and it looks like Stelara is going to be the same way even though the doctor said it should work better than Enbrel for arthritis. The only other change in my lifestyle that I have noticed is the fact that I can hardly sleep. 3 hours a night on a good night. Not sure if this is because of the Stelara or not."


"I've had polimyalgia rheumatica for almost two years.  I was misdiagnosed for a month with 'fibro'myalgia, and prescribed medications, but nothing helped this excruciating pain. I did my own research on the Internet for my symptoms and what came up was polimyalgia. I gave my research results to my doctor, who tested and found I was positive for the malady. I started with 60 mg x 3 days, and the next morning, I was PAIN FREE. I continued on 60 mg for 2 more days, then 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10, each for a week or two.  At 5 mg, I felt pain again. So I was put on a maintenance dose (some people continue to have residual pain). So I'm still happy and pain free. Prednisone is definitely one of the wonder drugs, following aspirin and penicillin."


"I am taking this for an ear infection. My left ear has lots of fluid behind my eardrum, and I feel lots of pressure. But it making the pressure go down but It's making me so tired. I take it in the pm. 2 hours before I eat dinner then I go to bed."


"Me and my boyfriend had a mishap and the condom slipped inside and he finished in me. This was thursday september 29. I took plan b in 45 minutes on the same day and the next day i felt cramps and extreme mood swings. I had my last period at sept 5 so i expected it to come anytime soon but i was over thinking and reading reviews from here makes me feel better. on monday i got cramps and tuesday night i had brown spotting, i was scared it might be implantation , but today october 05 i got my period! This pill works but i have never had period cramps this bad. Just have to deal with it, better than having unwanted pregnancy. Chill ladies, it works . :) lots of love!!"


"So me and my BF had sex but the condom failed he ended up finishing in me, I automatically started to freak out bc I'm not ready for a child just yet. So we rushed to the closest pharmacy and found plan b. I took the pill 1 hour after the accident and I was desperately waiting for my period to arrive.  It came 1 day earlier than expected however it's heavier than usual. But don't worry have faith in the pill it works don't doubt the pill"


"The first day went well and at 10 days it went very badly I take  the pill   at 9pm and gave me a headache and I slept 30 minutes all night and more with itching dry mouth this is not good for everyone."


"This medicine really helps."


"I was on this pill for 2 1/2 weeks and quit. I felt normal the first 2 weeks but once I started the third week my mood completely changed. I argued with my boyfriend for 3 days in a row over little things, and I knew it was the pill. Also, I've been eating so much more the past two weeks and I'm so scared to weigh myself because I know I've gained weight (also because of the pill). Lastly, I have very very clear skin; I breakout once a month, if that. However, my last week on the pill I broke out terribly. I have a painful zit on my left side of my forehead, 2 small pimples on the right side, and 2 small pimples on my left cheek. I never get pimples on my cheeks!!! This pill is horrible!!!"


"My experience with the implant has been both positive and negative. I had it put in and have had it for roughly 3/4 months now and I have had a heavy period non-stop, I am also experiencing very bad mood swings. On top of this I have also started to break out and experience mild acne. The doctors have advised me all of this will calm down after 6 months however it is currently a very annoying process as this period is non stop and my moods have changed. Currently the side effects are pretty bad but it will calm down and my boyfriend and I have regular sex and I am not pregnant...so it is very effective as a form of birth control."


"I made a comment here a couple of years ago when I had just been put on Xarelto, before that I had been on  Elequis. The side effects were to bad, especially with Xarelto, that I stopped any medication. However, a change in Cardiologist, and I was eventually persuaded to try another, PRADAXA. This one suits me and I have no side affects at all  Xarelto gave me really bad migraines, my head felt as if it was swelling and my eyes popping out. I couldn’t get out of bed most days. I will never forget that. You have to take responsibility for your health.  Always speak to your Doctor first. If your not happy get a second opinion."


"The shot is a very good deterrent for me. I am being forced to undergo 6 months of injections against my will. My drug of choice is Oxymorphone (Opana), and Oxycodone 30mg . I've been using for about two years before I got locked up for 5 months. Got out, did okay for about a month then relapsed. Before I knew it I was doing pills everyday...again. Went to rehab about a month after my first relapse, did the 30 days there and probation forced me to make Vivitrol part of my recovery plan. First shot was horrible at first, I was clean for 27 days before I got it but once injected I started getting light headed. Then came vomiting, stomach cramps, and pretty bad migraines. I'm getting shot number two in about 5 days."


"I am currently finishing up a 14 day round of 3x's a day 500mg Flagyl for C. Diff. C. Diff, alone, is a beast to wrangle. Think food poison but 10x's worse---and the smell, oh that's another thing entirely.  I never leave reviews on medications but with the side effects vs. the benefits that I've experienced, I wanted others to know. Benefits: Finally stopped having uncontrollable diarrhea and gas pain. The side effects didn't kick in until about day 7. So far, I've experienced light sensitivity, numbness and tingling on my left flank, insomnia, and an overall feeling of unrestlessness that is very similar to a panic attack. I've also had a runny nose and headaches. The medicine does work but I cannot wait to be finished!!!!!!!!"


"Makes me more anxious. Higher doses are worse."


"I have been on Prozac for about 12 years. I'm a small person (about 5 ft tall, 115 pounds). I take 10 mg every other day. My Doctors say this dosage is a placebo, but I highly disagree. I use to suffer from mild, sometimes not so mild depression. Never have had it while I have been on Prozac. It just cuts off strong emotions. No rage, no crying, and sometimes no feelings! This is the only problem, I am basically numb on emotions. I only cry when things really hit me hard. It has to be hard! I must say, I love alcohol on Prozac, it only takes one drink to lighten me up. This drug has been a life saver!"


"I had Mirena put in about a week ago & it by far the most excruciating pain I've ever felt! I'm missing some of my left leg due to a motorcycle accident so believe me when I say I know pain, the insertion was worse than ANY of my surgeries. I had to make my obgyn stop bc the pain & discomfort made me so light headed & sick to my stomach. The pain & cramping for the first 2 days after made it impossible to move & now a week later I still have bad discomfort & spotting. I've noticed an increase in appetite & acne on my face that I never had problems with before. I had mirena placed as an option to help my severe bipolar mood swings but I think this may not have been the right option for me. I'm giving it a few more days to change my mind."


"So I took plan b one step a day after intercourse because I suspected I may have accidentally gotten pregnant by my boyfriend. When I took the pill I felt fine there was a little bloating but it was manageable. Fast forward two weeks and it's time for my period to start so I was experiencing some pretty intense cramps even before I began bleeding, then my period started and the cramps were way worse than usual and I just had a continuous dull ache in my pelvic area that couldn't be soothed. On top of that I keep having waves of nausea and feeling sick. But despite all of that I'm not pregnant and although I experienced troubles here and there it could be a lot worse being pregnant so I'm thankful for the pill and it does work!"


"I received the shot 20 days ago and have been bleeding every day since! My doctor gave me pills after me having my period for 2 weeks and said it would stop my period. All that did was make it lighter. I am supposed to take the pills for 10 days. So far it has been 9 and I am still bleeding. I will not get this again! I only got it because of the nausea I would get from the pills I was on before and my heavy periods and bad cramps. But this is not worth it!"


"I started fluoxetine 20mg 2yrs.ago, i was very scared at first taking it but after about 6 weeks I felt back to myself again with my depression and anxiety. I took it for almost 2yrs, then stopped because I felt better now 8 months later I'm back on it praying it will help again."


"Have been on Lupron for about 2 years and my stage 4 prostate cancer is now in remission. My prostate cancer specialist gets all the credit and kept side effects to a minimum with the help of other meds and supplements. I recommend Lupron."


"This is an amazing drug for nausea, this gives me no side effects and takes the feeling of nausea away amazingly."


"I really hate this birth control. I have taken others and had no side effects or anything go wrong, but this pill has basically ruined my social life. I have been taking it for a little over a month and since the second I started taking it, I have had my period. I have no sex drive, and constant bleeding. I have noticed I'm super moody, and for the first week it made me sick to my stomach and I stopped eating because of how it made me feel. I hate this pill but my doctor makes it difficult to switch."


"The half-life of this medicine seemed to decrease over time for me (I was on this medication for several years). Eventually the withdrawal syndrome went from an onset of about 2 days to half a day - meaning if I forgot to take it in the morning, by mid-afternoon I was experiencing debilitating body aches, nausea, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and general malaise."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"Jan 29th, 2014 I was diagnosed with HIV (CD4 was 475, VL 250,000) Didn't get on Stribild til May 2nd.. Taking it for 1.5 months, I reached  (CD4-726 VL Und.) I Have Medicaid without a supplement plan. They pay everything. I pay $3.00 co-pay."


"I bought this after having unprotected sex with my significant other. I bought it and followed instructions and took it as directed and 2 weeks later I find out I am pregnant. I am now dealing with an unplanned pregnancy and unfortunately having to get my first abortion ever. If I could go back in time I would have paid the extra bucks for Plan B. Save yourself the emotional distress and either refill your birth control right away or get Plan B that will work."


"I have had great results for several years with generic pantoprazole, except twice when the pharmacy used the version from Sun Pharma. Not sure the marked difference (although there was a patent lawsuit against Sun for not disclosing a slight difference in chemical structure several years ago), but taking the Sun version is pretty much like taking nothing at all. I took a week's worth this time (there is a shortage of the Teva drug I usually get) and spent last night sick to my stomach with gnawing pain and bizarre single hiccups and belches. And while the pharmacy apparently had gotten some of the Teva brand in, I had to pay the full $40 because I couldn't get another batch covered by insurance for 2 weeks. Not all generics are equal."


"Taking for herniated discs in my neck which cause migraines. Cannot take codeine because it makes me want to itch my skin right off my skin. This one made me vomit and gave me the worst migraine I've ever had in my life the first 2 times I took it. After that, made sure I took it with food. No negative side effects since., and now I don't even have to take it with food. Definitely works better than anything else I've taken, especially since I can't take codeine."


"I was on this medication a few years ago and it worked great. I decided to go back on birth control about a month ago. I have been taking it for 23 days. No problems until this week. I am very irritable and extremely nauseated. I don't think this medication is right for me."


"I had the Mirena removed today after 4 years. I have had stomach pains forever and kept going to the doctor saying something was wrong. They did test after test and found nothing. I was convinced that it was the Mirena, then my doctor asked me if they put it in when I was on a cycle and I said no so she was determined it was the Mirena as well because they are supposed to put it in on a cycle. I loved that I didn't break out and my periods were light but I couldn't take the stomach pain anymore."


"Lacrisert has saved my sanity!!! I can't live without this for my dry eyes. It's the first product that makes my eyes feel normal. I would rank it a 10, but I am discounting it by one due to the fact that they start to get gooey after having them in 10-12 hours (depending on humidity) & they don't last as long as my day does."


"I can take 0.5 mg twice a day as needed. Some days I don't take it. It helps so much even with my depression. I take one of these if I'm planning on killing myself because I'm suicidal every day,  & the urge wil pass once this calms me down.  I take it for anxiety, panic attacks,  & twitches/seizures."


"Took my pain from a 9 to a 2! Lasts all day and rarely have to take my break through pain medication. I have ADHD, Chronic Pain, Panic Attack Disorder.

MS Contin, 180 twice a day
Oxycodone IR, 30mg every four hours
6mg when required of Xanax IR
Adderall, 30mg IR twice a day"


"Severe neck pain was causing migraines, took several narcotics with no relief. Dr. switched me to Lyrica, pain was gone in three days after two years of terrible pain. Lyrica improved my quality of life to say the least."


"I have been taking BeYaz for a year now to prevent pregnancy. Because I have been taking it consistently at a scheduled time it has worked wonders! I would recommend this pill to anyone that is sexually active. Only side effects I have noticed are blood clots and emotional sensitivity. 10/10 highly recommend."


"I've had acne for a long time, all my teen years into adulthood. I'm 29 now and finally asked my doctor to prescribe something. I'm about 3 wks into taking Doxycycline and I had noticed slight improvement until a few days ago. I just got my period and dear god, my acne is more cystic and crazy than ever! It's mainly on my cheeks and chin now (which seems to be what others have experienced on this medication) and they are large, painful and ugly. Ugh. I'm truly hoping this is the whole "getting worse before it gets better" thing. I'm gonna stick with it and hope that this is just a one time thing. I also began using the Acne Free Severe system with this med, so we shall see. Oh, and the first day I took the med, I vomited. Must eat prior!"


"Nupricainal is #1 in our first aid kit and has been for the last 50 years! It provides instant relief from cuts, scrapes, bruises and numbs the pain.  Upon discovery, we personally named it "MAGIC MEDICINE" and it remains close at hand for emergencies at home, in the car or on a trip.  Smashed my finger in the car door and while driving to emergency for stitches, obtained PROMPT RELIEF FROM EXCRUCIATING PAIN!  (Same 20% benzocaine/active "numbing" ingredient prescribed by my doctor for an epesiotome after having a baby.  Kids fall and scrape their knees or get a bee sting and this stops the pain and tears! LOVE THIS numbing ointment! Get the word out! AWESOME PRODUCT!  Any pharmacy will also special order it."


"When I first started taking birth control, I was started on Aviane and I really loved it.  I lost weight and I went from an A cup bra to a C cup bra in just 2 months. After a year or 2 I go switched to Lessina and I didn't like it! Got horrible headaches, gained weight, and cramps were horrible. After 2 years of Lessina I begged to be switched back to Aviane, and now only after 2 months of taking it I have lost 11 lbs and the cramps and headaches are gone. I do get tender breast while on my period but I rather have tender breast and moodiness and cramps! Oh and my sex drive is up the roof!"


"Used it for 12 years and it was a life saver great medicine."


"My OBG-YN inserted it for me.  She is very experienced and I had felt little discomfort. It felt like having a long PAP test :)

I spotted during my cycle but amazingly my periods stopped altogether. I'm having it removed as it'almost  due (5 years).

I gained about 30 lbs. in the last 4 years.

Most of my friends who have this IUD put in had the same weight gain experience.

Now, is it worth it? Heck YES! No periods & no mood swings for 5 yrs in exchange to weight gain?  I will not continue to have a new one inserted after this though... I want to lose weight first.

My advise is, be active as I wasn't so it could've been that and gained the 30 so I don't totally blame it on Minera. Secondly, get an experienced OBG-YN insert it for you."


"I have done Flagyl 4 times in the past year.  Clearly, it hasn't been able to clear up my bacterial vaginitis.  Trying this as an alternative.  Haven't finished, but my initial impression is that it is much gentler on my stomach.  I DREAD taking Flagyl, this is not bad. Slight nausea.  Much better if taken with a meal."


"I went on Accutane when I was 18 years old. You have to be on birth control before and have 2 negative pregnancy tests before being prescribed Accutane. Then you have to be tested every month for pregnancy. It took me about 6 months to actually begin the treatment. You need to be very strict and diligent about taking it. You will NOT starting seeing any improvement for at least 6 months (I was on it for a year) and your acne might get a little worse before it gets better. My skin did clear up a lot after I was on it. However, 4 years later it all came back for some reason. Side effects include: very dry skin (face, hands, feet, etc.) I would recommend it for anyone who has moderate to severe acne."


"I am a72 year old woman previously very active hiking daily, yoga daily. I fell and tore minuscus in three places...4 doctors have told me to do knee replacements...however I have chosen to do Orthovisc 4 shots every 6 months....as long as I do strengthening exercise I am 90% pain free..however cannot hike hills or mountains and yoga is limited...but can swim and bicycle..Since I know so many with complications from knee surgeries....I will continue on this route. Mind you I lead a very full life and on my feet at least 9 hours a day...."


"As for preventing pregnancy, trinessa worked like a charm. I originally had began taking the pill to regulate my period, because I got them twice a month.

As for physical side effects, they were minimal. I never gained any weight, never felt nauseated or sick. The only down side I found to the pill was, it made my patience go down to zero.

So if something happened that normally I would blow over, I would get very angry and blow up. My mood swings were extremely bad, people just didn't want to be around me because of how angry it made me. I ended up getting off of it because of my mood swings, and my period stayed regulated. So that was a plus."


"For those in Canada suffering from chronic pain, the long-acting version, Hydromorph Contin, is wonderful when combined with the Dilaudid for breakthrough pain. I take 9mg (6mg   3mg pills) twice a day, plus the 4mg of dilaudid for the breakthrough pain. Only bad thing I can say about it is that my tolerance level for this, and other medications, is very high. And I'm only 27 years old."


"I have been on Klonopin for over a decade with success from my previous anxiety, frustration & anger feelings. I rate this medication a nine because alone it's not 100% (it's used in adjuct with counseling & Sertraline). I take 2mg "in the morning" and the only side effect for me, is feeling like me again; relaxed, confident, alert and in control. The dosage is too much for most but for me (with a high tolerance) it keeps me in control. It's long lasting properties allow that I take it with breakfast, & coast all day/ night on it. I never notice an effect from it, until I don't take it: Then the anxiety, indecision with tiredness re-appears. So I'm on it for life, and that's okay."


"This form of birth control helps with my making my period lighter and way less painful but it has caused me to have both weight gain and crazy mood swings. I've only been on this pill for 5 months but it's already causing me a headache. I feel depressed at times, upset and even having problems when it comes to my sex drive. I'm not sure if that's this birth control or what but I'm only 21. I shouldn't be having these problems."


"I am prescribed 600mg 3x a day.. It most definitely helps with my moods, back pain, and I think helps me relax and sleep. But I also take ambient,and clonazepam also at night.I am also an addict,but I do not abuse these 3 meds. I had a problem with pain killers and xanax.which now I take subutek to help with the cravings for these 2 meds. And I will say if you take them like your prescribed then they Will help you.   But of course you need a sponsor and go to meetings."


"I hate this product. If you can live with your skin's current state DO NOT USE THIS. Many people experience a purge when using this, so their skin gets much worse before it gets better. This happened to me and there was no sign of improvement so I stopped using it and my skin improved greatly. The purge was not worth it at all for me because my skin was not to terrible when I started using the product, and after using epiduo made my skin worse I was left marks that still haven't faded two months after stopping epiduo. If a horrible purge is not worth it to you, do not mess with this stuff."


"I have been suffering with vertigo for the past three months, spinning every night and still dizzy and nausea during the day. This was causing major stress for me, the doctor put me on antibiotics and steroid and still nothing makes better. Went to another doc and was given meclizine and got my first night sleep with no spinning when turning over and not getting up feeling sick. This was a great feeling but I cannot take during the day or I would fall asleep at my desk. But I will take sleepy over my world spinning any day!"


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


"I have been Junel 1/20 for about 5/6 months now for ovarian cysts. I have dealt with severe cramping for years and this has definitely decreased the pain. However, despite the pros there are some cons. One being my breasts hurt full time and have gotten bigger, and lots of fluid retention (especially in my lower abdomen and thighs). Don't like the feeling of being swollen everywhere, makes me so I can't fit in my clothes some of the time. I just deal with it because it's better than the cramps I was having lol"


"Yes, the cost of this was a bit jaw-dropping, but this medication is really good. After two days of shear misery, one dose was all it took to get things under control. Saw my doctor at 5pm, picked up my prescription by 6pm and felt 80% better by 8pm.  Thank you."


"Propanolol is a great anxiety treatment! Unlike Alprazolam, which treats anxiety by creating a mildly stupefying delirium, Propanolol provides an underlying steadiness and effectively prevents the physiological symptoms of anxiety, including racing heart, shakiness, quavering voice, flushing cheeks, somersaulting insides, etc. There are few side affects with Propanolol other than improved blood pressure, win win."


"Been using this for about 7-8 years now.  Unlike the sugar laced alcohol that is in most cough syrup, this stuff is the best.  Takes about 45 min before it starts working, but after that, no more cough.

In regards to diarrhea, no one in my family has had the experience described by some (or the same person posting over and over)"


"Had a heart attack four years ago & for the first three years afterward, Plavix was my prescribed medication as a blood thinner.  I kept complaining to my physician that I was experiencing something weird; what I called a "roving arthritis".  I was usually waking in the mornings with one or both hands so swollen in the joints that I couldn't hold a coffee cup. Or, I'd get out of bed & could only limp around due to swollen, painful ankles. I was miserable, so I finally did my own research online & found Brilinta.  About one month after switching to Brilinta, my joint pain has totally stopped!  On Brilinta for almost a year; a very positive experience.  Only 1  negative: my insurance doesn't cover near as much as Plavix. Very spendy."


"Been on it 3 years now. Tried Wellbutrion, Paxil, and Zoloft before going on Lexapro.. Lexapro definitely has helped me the best.  Worst side effects are reduced sex drive but I have to pick between having an orgasm or feeling sane."


"Let me just start off by saying that I was in the same situation as all of you. I am not going to say not to stress because thats honestly impossible. Yes, reading these reviews gave me some sort of peace of hope, but then I'll stumble on the reviews where it didn't work and I knew that I was going to be part of that 5%. I had unprotected sex with my ex and he came inside me. Figuring this out, I rushed home and bought the pill and took it about 1 1/2 after the deed. I believe I was in my ovulating week but I wasn't fertile. My period was supposed to come a week and 10 days after and let me tell you that it was the longest 10 days of my life but it came on the same day. I hope it works for all of you.  Best of luck"


"I got on the shot on October 7th 2014, I thought it would end my periods but I ended up bleeding everyday for six months straight. My third shot that I had got on April 8th 2015 ended the bleeding for about a month and a half and now I'm bleeding again and this time I'm having cramps as if I'm on my period. My next shot is on July 8th and I will not be going through with it. The depo shot just ruins your body, I hate it"


"I went on this birth control a few months before I got married and have been on it for two years. I just finished my last pack, as we want to start a family soon. I had hormonal issues that lead to irregular periods and this birth control helped level them out. I have not had any emotional swings or weight gain. It was a great, low-dose birth control and successfully prevented us from having kids for two years. The only negative side effect I had was that it did slow down my libido. I could tell a definite difference in my interest in sex on and off this pill. This wasn't extreme - it just took more work to get me in the mood. I'm very pleased with this product and will probably return if the need arises for me to use birth control again."


"I am in my early 20's and I had a yeast infection before. I wanted to give the 1Day Monistat a try. I checked online first before I bought it and was very nervous after the horrible comments. I've seen a few comments that were very positive so I gave it a try. I decided to buy it in the morning before I went to work. I did read the fine print that says "put applicator in before bed" but I just went to work and stuck the thing in (9am). IF YOU CANT TAKE THE INTENSE BURNING or ITCHING take it at night. You will experience intensive burning and itching for a1hr. I did experience a little burning and itching but it wasnt too bad. Later that night around 9/10pm I didn't feel anything. The next day I was completely heeled thank god!!!"


"I've been using Qvar 40 in the AM for 2 weeks. My breathing still sucks and I constantly feel congested and like I can't get enough air. I've had to use my albuterol inhaler multiple times a day. My doctor wants me to try using the Qvar twice a day to see if it helps. I'll update in a couple weeks."


"I'm a 16 year old girl who uses birth control for maintaining clear skin due to acne, nausea in the morning, and a heavy flow. I've tried many different kinds of pills and this one was by far the worst. I typically don't have too much acne (about 3 pimples per month, if that). However, when I started this pill I broke out all over my face. I have NEVER had this much acne before. I just picked up a new birth control today so hopefully when I start using this one the remaining acne on my face will go away. It's ridiculous."


"I was on spironolactone 3 months before I saw results...but once I did they were amazing! I had a lot of pimples around my chin area mostly. Since I've been on the medicine I've had the occasional zit, but it usually resolves faster and isn't huge like previous ones I would I get. I haven't noticed any improvement in the greasiness of my skin, but as long as the acne is gone I'm happy! I have found I can have reliably clear skin and feel so much better about myself overall. It's easier and faster to do my makeup and people are always commenting on how perfect my skin is now! I am definitely happy with this medicine."


"Out of the blue I started experiencing anxiety, I was nervous for no reason and having anxiety about anxiety! I tried change my diet and so on. Then I had the mother of all panic attacks (I'd never had one). I quickly realized that I needed to talk to my doctor. I tried zoloft and celexa, both gave me terrible side effects. I stuck with zoloft for 2 months and wasnt feeling any better so I went off discouraged.  Then I started on cymbalta. Its been about 5 months with zero side effects. I realized a few days ago that the meds must be working, on a particularly stressful day I felt a panic attack coming on but it just didn't materialize into anything. Then I realized I really haven't been nervous for sometime. It can get better :) 40mg"


"After years of misery; then numerous tests by neurologists and sleep studies I was finally diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and a form of narcolepsy in 2005.  I was prescribed Provigil, 200 mg twice a day and given the okay to take another 1/2 tab if necessary.  It was a Godsend and changed my life for the better.  However, now Doctor wants me to "try" Nuvigil and gave me samples and prescription.  It DOES NOT WORK for me but insurance company is demanding I stay on Nuvigil. Provigil will cost $1000 pr/mo! "


"Lexapro has worked well for me. My anxiety and depression are about gone.  The first 2 months were pretty bad and I almost quit many times but am glad I didn't. Side effects included night sweats, tinitus, headaches, insomnia, sexual issues, dizzzyness......  Most of this has resolved now after 3 months. Adding a b complex with folate and omega 3 seems to have helped me. This is a very good drug for anxiety and depression but you'll need to be very patient, and struggle thru the initial side effects"


"At first it kept me awake, but that went away in like a week or two. By the 3rd month I can say this is the best stuff I've been in and can laugh again and not hate the world. I have severe depression, anxiety with PTSD."


"I was on Prozac for 10 years. It was a wonder drug for me. I had breast cancer last year and the Prozac stopped working for me because of the chemical changes in my body. I have tried Lexapro, Zoloft and now I'm on Celexa. The side effects on the Celexa are horrible. I just want to find an antidepressant that works like Prozac. I stopped taking Prozac in April 2010 cold turkey and had no withdrawals."


"I've been taking 6 mgs now for over a week and it doesn't do much for me. Last night I slept maybe 2 hours. I may see if my doctor will prescribe 10 mgs doxepin. I'm really worried, as nothing seems to work."


"This medicine is a blessing for me. I have gastric paresis and I also have Crohn's disease so I have had nausea. I have taken Reglan for a long time on and off and it is wonderful. I personally feel it gave me back my quality of life. If I feel sick or before I eat I take it and I do not get sick. I have had NO side effects. I just feel so much better. I feel normal again and I know other people who take this medicine and they feel better also. I usually take 3 - 5mg a day.. it depends .. sometimes I just take 1- 10mg a day."


"I've sweated excessively since about 6th grade. I would always get comments on it, and I would avoid doing a lot of physical activity. But when I reached 9th grade and had gym everyday, I realized how embarrassing it was to be the only one covered in buckets of sweat. I was really self conscious about it until I saw a dermatologist. He prescribed Hypercare and it worked immediately after I started using it. After a few weeks though I noticed a lot of irritation, I had been following all instructions but my under arms were blood red. I saw the dermatologist again and he prescribed Xerac ac. It's not as irritating but unfortunately less effective."


"I was on Topamax 2x 50 mg worked perfect for 31 days, then the effect wore off, now I am on day 3, Dr. Increased dosage 100mg 2x per day, works perfect. I am cautious as I have been 6 months relapse free on 60 mg fluoxetine before the effects wore off. Will give an update. I have been on all other kinds of SSRIs or SNRIs, which had no effect. My history, I am 42 years old, I have treatment refractory Bulimia since 28 years, purging type. Start with AN with a simple diet, normal childhood, no trauma or abuse, two lengthy hospital stays in the 80s and 90s   5 years of CGJung psychoanalysis all to 0 avail. Learned a lot but have never been in recovery. I try anything to be better."
