"The implant was painful but not nearly as bad as anticipated. The cramps afterwards are like medium-heavy period cramps. Easily dealt with w/ Tylenol, etc. I believe its worth it. Don't let other people put you off, babies are much worse."


"very convienient  I take it once n the evenings although sometimes a few hours after taking it I feel funny cannot concentrate on any academic work then it wares off"


"I first had symptoms when I was 17 yrs old.  Was not diagnosed until I was 25 during an exploratory surgery to find out what was wrong with me.  I am now 67, have had three surgeries, 2 for blockages and a variety of meds.. This last surgery did not go well and my crohn's became worse.  The doctor recommended I go on Remicade.  Have had three treatments with no improvement, extremely exhausted.  During my treatments I developed chest pains, had an angiogram, everything fine.  Then became very short of breath, fever  and got water on the heart from the procedure.  Will be discussing this with the doctor and requesting I stop the treatments.  I have not had a rewarding experience with Remicade.  Not sure what my options are going forward."


"I was having extreme pain, everyone said to get all the AZO bladder med stuff, but I also got this one. Turned out it was the only one that worked!!! But, it only lasted short-term and I had a severe case. It's a "until you get to the doctor" med. If you're resorting to these, you've got doctor worthy problems."


"I had just applied it and immediately right after I feel the burn.. I felt that the medicine should be calming effect rather than burning sensation to the point that it irritates your mind and the feeling of uncomfortable with slight nausea.

I bought the 7 day Monistat for my YI. Let's see if tomorrow works better..

I had tried other cream-insert-brand like Canesten Cream, I felt relieve right after use.. Hence Monistat needs to relook in to the medications provide in the cream. Because I had bought two boxes, and I regretted getting two box (one for spare).."


"I have had an issue for many years where I could not shut my brain off when I went to sleep.  My doctors had tried Xanax, Valium, sleeping pills (over counter and prescription) and though some worked initially they did not completely work for me.  I was talking to a Psychiatrist friend of mine and they suggested that I try Trazodone. After researching it and seeing that it was an anti-depressant I was extremely skeptical and concerned about side effects. I started with 50mg at night and the first night I took it was the best nights sleep I had in a long time.  I am now on 100mg at night and always have great nights sleep. The only side effect I have is vivid dreams."


"My dr gave me two sample packs and told me to take all the 10mg tablets and once I was done I could go up to 20mg if I needed it, but I continue to get a prescription for 20mg and cut them in half so it lasts me twice as long. She told me I would have upset stomach the first night and that was literally the only bad side effect I had! I take it after dinner/before bed. Right away it made me feel more awake, able to handle things my stressors better, and gave me a general sense of well being. I can still get aggravated so I don't feel like a zombie, and I'm still able to have the big O. I am 36 and have tried 10 or so different antidepressants over the years since I was in my late teens and nothing has ever worked as well as this."


"So, this is the only pill I've ever been on, so I don't have much to compare it too. However, after reading all the negative reviews, I felt I should chime in. I'm on my second month of this pill and I'm almost done with it. So far, it's actually helped regulate my weight which is awesome. The first month was kind of rough, I was spotty the entire pack. Once I started up the second pack, everything cleared up and I've been good since! Worst part of this pill: no sex drive. It really does dry you up. I'm hoping this clears up after the 3rd pack because my doctor told me to give it until then."


"Very effective."


"so i just got my 3rd one put in yesterday ! my last 2 were perfect . i think the whole "weight gain" is in peoples head! and a lot of people use it as a quick cop out. " oh i gained weight because the birth control." but my personal experience is great no periods. no crazy mood swings. no weight gain. and no babies !! i definitely recommend it! but everybody has their own experience and everybody reacts to things differently , but me personally i love it !"


"I got mine put in February 2015 and I couldn't be happier (and im only 18). I struggled daily to remember to take the pills and I just finally said I needed something different. I talked to my doctor about nexplanon and she suggested that it would be a great idea. Im only using for my period because they would be so heavy, painfuk, and make me practically bedridden the whole time but since the nexplanon I have no complaints. I love it and I would definitely recommend it. The best part is you don't have to try to remember to take something everyday, you just go about your day."


"This is only my 3rd week with the Nuvaring, but I like it very much! I seem to have all of the good side-effects and none of the bad ones. I find it does not make me emotional, which was my major problem with the pill. It has made my skin very clear and acne free and my breasts are bigger. I did notice that my vagina smelled a bit odd the first 3 days, but I think my body just had to get used to something new.

I had bad experiences with the pill, the Mirena IUD and the copper IUD so I am very happy to now have something that works."


"I suffer from depression and anxiety. I was on a number of meds before my doctor put me on Lexapro.. they were all horrible and made my anxiety worse. I was starting to lose hope that I would never find a medication to help. Thankfully Lexapro is helping! It's a lifesaver!! I could tell a difference after the first day..I'm much more "normal" I don't fly into a rage so easily, I don't feel overwhelmed constantly and I'm not irritated all the time for no reason. My moods are much more stable. Before Lexapro I seriously felt like I was losing it. My husband even told me he notices a huge difference in me since being on this. I'm also prescribed klonopin for my anxiety but since being on Lexapro I haven't had a need to take it. I love Lexapro!"


"I just started taking 25 mg a day a few days ago. So far I'm tired after taking it and very thirsty. I do feel good after the drowsiness wears off and am already starting to feel good. My jaw hurts a little and slight headache. I will post again in a few weeks."


"I got Lilletta inserted in Oct 2015 which was pretty painful.Since then my experience has been very disappointing and nothing at all like what my doctor said it would be. I was advised that my periods would shorten and they havent. I kid you not I have had non stop brownish discharge everyday since Ive gotten it inserted with the exception of a day or two here and there. When the discharge stops I then get my period. Period ends back to discharge. My doctor has prescribed Prempro to supplement and hasnt helped at all. Im beyond livid. Its ruining my life to constantly have to worry about the discharge. The doctor offers no explanation besides your body is rejecting it. Needless to say Ill be looking to take it out ASAP. Its July now."


"I'm 18 years old and just got my first one today along with two other shots which were required for school. Hurt like hell compared to the other two. Maybe less than a minute after I started to feel dizzy, nauseous, vision blurred, had difficulty breathing, threw up... Nearly fainted, had to be brought to a bed via wheelchair. Probably the worst I have ever felt. Hours later, can barely move my arm without feeling pain, even though the other arm (which got two shots) feels fine.
I'm not going to say no one should get this - fainting is obviously better than cancer. I personally would not do it again, especially considering I do not plan to have sex later in life."


"I had Skyla put in about 2 weeks ago so this is more about the insertion as my body's still adjusting. I did the ultimate "do not do" and read all the online experiences and horrific outcomes the night before my appointment. I was so anxious I almost cancelled as I'm not good with pain. I took 500mg ibuprofen an hour before and ate breakfast as instructed. My doctor didn't use numbing cream or anything. Having the Skyla put in was no walk in the park, its way less painful than kidney stones and gallbladder attacks I've had. Do recommend taking the day off work since the cramping, while not unbearable, was pretty intense. Spotted for 2-3 days after and am just now stopping random cramps. So far I'm extremely happy with it"


Influenza virus vaccine, live, trivalent

"My 17 year old son usually gets injection, and has never had side effects. Tuesday afternoon he got flu mist instead of injection, and by Wednesday night he had moderate fever, headache, body aches, and fatigue.  Next time he will get injection, for sure."


"I started contrave on 1/2/16.  I am 5 ft 7 inches and my starting weight was 241.4.  I am 33 years old and have always struggled with weight.  Immediately I noticed that my mood was improved.  I also have almost no desire to drink alcoholic beverages or smoke (which I was doing fairly regularly).  I have had minimal side effects up to this point besides the occasional constipation or headache.

As of today I weighed in at 229.8.  Not sure if this is the progress that is expected but so far I am happy.  That puts me at a loss of approximately 0.55lbs per day for the past 21 days."


"Developed acute insomnia immediately following a bad concussion. I would doze off but would wake up within 30 minutes, unable to fall back asleep for hours at a stretch. Tried several sleeping medications (off-label use trazodone, Ambien, melatonin, OTC sleep aids. with no success for several weeks and was getting desperate.  A mere 3mg of Doxepin saved my life. I slept for six straight hours the first night and it only got better and better.  I take 3mg around 9pm, sleep from 11pm to 6am very reliably and have few side effects besides a small amount of weight gain (about five pounds in my first two weeks) and slight drowsiness in the mornings and mid-afternoons.  I'm so grateful to have my sleep back."


"8 week post treatment, Hep C virus free after 3 weeks on medication. Total of 4 months Hep C free. I am just very grateful to all the work that brought this medication to folks like me."


"It works good."


"Prednisone is the only medication that gets my colitis under control and allows healing that allows remission to start.

Plus it has no side effects that I detect other than higher energy levels."


"took Lialda and was fine for 3 months. No bleeding and had normal stool. Then suddenly I had skin rash and acne."


"I was on Asacol for over 10 years taking 2 pills 4 times a day. I switched to Apriso for another 10 years taking 4 pills once a day thanks to the time release. Lately I've been finding it cheaper than it used to be. I'll still have flares about 5 times a year. Sometimes I forget to take them for a few days and it doesn't bother me much. I am searching currently just to change it up since I've been on Apriso for so many years. For the most part, it's been fine though. My insurance counts it as a tier 3 which is a joke and I find it cheaper to order through online coupon sites getting 3 months at a time."


"I have fibromyalgia and it helps with my muscle spasms and my back pains and other pains that i have with my fibromyalgia. My doctor only wants me to take it on a as needed basis for the muscles spasms but when the get really bad it helps alot ..."


"This medicine made me very sick. I was seeing things and could not function. I had to stop."


"I have bad anxiety, did not work at all for me, been on buspar, trazadone, xanax, and klonopin. Xanax and klonopin work best."


"I was prescribed Darvocet (generic) for menstrual pain.  I have not found relief using any other medication, and asked for an alternative to Pamprin (and Aleve) from my doctor out of desperation, because I have missed a lot of school due to menstrual issues.  She prescribed Darvocet.  It works very well, but only for about an hour or two.  There are no side effects for me (at least, none that I can tell), and as long as I have a small snack with it, there is no stomach upset.

The lower rating is simply for the short time of effectiveness.  Otherwise, this isn't bad."


"It did wonders for my mood, HOWEVER I was NOT told of the risks involved. And the positive did NOT outweigh the negative in this case. After only a month, I developed Atrodystrphy and my legs hurt badly. I can't sit still, I pace, I cry, ...anything to get the pain to stop. My pysch said it was from the Abilify. I'm now on Geodon and praying this isn't permanent. PLEASE be informed before taking this medication!"


"My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago (she's 13 now) and was on Adderall XR 25 mg for a few years. She was never hungry and had a hard time sleeping. We switched her to Adzenys XR 12.5 (lower than her Adderall dose equivalent). It doesn't seem to last as long -- but then again it's not as strong. The good thing is her appetite is back and she doesn't have trouble sleeping. She also doesn't complain about not feeling like herself (she is usually a pretty happy kid, but complained the Adderall made her withdrawn). She's doing fairly good in school, though she has some learning challenges in some areas. Although she's only been on it a few months, I am relatively happy with the results."


"Did 12 Weeks and now negative for HCV.Had tried 5 clinicals none worked. I will retest in 3 months. No side effects. Have had 2 transplants. Liver and kidney. HCV affects Kidney per my Dr at CCF"


"I was diagnosed as bipolar in 1987.I've always been treatment resistant. Nothing and I mean no meds have ever helped me before.I've tried everything over the years only to have bad side effects and no relief. ECT was actually being recommended to me then my Dr put me on a Zyprexa/ Prozac combination and for the first time in my life I've gotten relief from my symptoms and no side effects. I can finally think clearly. I feel like a totally new person a much better one."


"I'm 17,I started Doxy 50mg once a day on the 24th of April (almost 4 months ago) and at first my acne hadn't changed much at all. If anything during that starting period my pimples on my cheeks and chin got worse though that was to be expected. I continued to take it and after a consecutive month or so I noticed my pimples subsiding. From then on my skin just kept getting better, it's now smooth, soft, healthy with only a couple tiny, non-pussy pimples here and there. I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but if my face is exposed to the sun for 30minutes  I get a few extra pimples? Anyway, the keys for this antibiotic to work at it's finest are:
-Touch your face as less as possible
-Try eat healthy foods
-Do not pick at your spots"


"On my second month. Just starting to get spotty (panty liner is enough) but nothing that isn't manageable. The first 2 weeks I had minor headaches and nausea but it went away. Very tender breasts, still. So far month one--no period. Yay.  Great not to have a period but if the spotting gets worse (I think it may) that kind of defeats the whole purpose long term. I'm using this to stop periods while training for a half marathon. So for it's purpose for now, I'm fine. As far as sexual activity, it would be uncomfortable because the spotting is dark and slimy and weird. But that's not an issue now....  So pros and cons. But no period 3 months in a row (hopefully) , that's all right my me!"


"The doctor tried it twice for my rheumatoid arthritis and it didn't help at all after taking it for 6 months. "


"Simply the best sleep medicine I have ever used. I was prescribed Trazodone as part of alcohol recovery, and have had no nightmares, sleeplessness, or depression since. Absolutely amazing."


"When I get bad pain I take Norco and it helps. I only take it for 3 days then I stop because the pain is gone by then. But it works better then the other medicines I have been given, also I have never had any withdrawals from it."


"I've only been on this medication for 2 days but at 60mg once daily it dries my mouth out terribly and my mind is blank when around people. Hoping to move down to 40mg and if that doesn't work 20mg, If my doctor lets me. Trying to get the right dose is so stressful."


"I was in a really bad car wreck in which I had temporary paralysis due to C3 and C4 fractures and was in a halo for almost 4 months. I would have never survived physical therapy and everyday movement with out this medication."


"I love the medication and have loss a lot of weight but the nausea gets to me. I also have had a time when I cannot stand the smell of food, my mouth will be dry a little but overall I am losing.  I cannot exercise due to back surgery and complications from that surgery. I'm going to start taking it at night and hopefully it will make the little side effects better. It definitely works."


"Ok so I totally get what everyone is saying. Day 1 was THE WORST. After I applied it I laid in bed almost crying because it was so uncomfortable. It was like a tingly, burning, itch deep inside that I could not get to. My boyfriend thought I was dying and I ended up in the shower rinsing it off. After talking to some co workers who get them all the time she said my vaginal area was probably so raw. I am currently sitting here on day 2. So much better! Just some mild itching! I promise it gets better! Stick with it girls!"


"Didn't work well on the migraine and made me feel like I was roofied. Both times I tried it for migraines I slept for 12+ hours and felt out of it for many more hours. I know it works well for some folks, just not for me apparently."


"A few months after one basal spot on my nose was removed with Mohs surgery and plastic surgery to correct the dime sized divot, my dermatologist prescribed Carac for three weeks applied once a day to my nose.  I had read many reviews/experiences and dreaded starting the prescription.  Thankfully I had very little reaction with only one spot that appeared like an irritated white head and that drained and disappeared after about 3 days.  The rest of my nose, although a little dry, had no reaction at all.  I will say my stomach was a little sensitive about an hour after I applied the lotion for a couple days so I made sure I drank plenty of water and ate something within the hour or so of applying it."


"Have been using yasmin for about 6 weeks. I am 25 and have suffered with acne of the face, shoulders and back since I was about 13. Roaccutane isn't an option for me. I don't think I have been on Yasmin long enough to make a fully informed review, but so far my skin has looked notably clearer, I used to get cysts around my jaw and neck which were so painful, along with normal spots and blackheads around my chin and mouth. My skin is still far from perfect, but I have not had any cysts, and only one spot on my chin. Blackheads seen minimised, and I have started using a moisturiser for 'normal' skin, rather than the heavy duty oil control ones as they had become to drying!

Side effects: heavier periods, tender breasts. That's all so far!"


"I have been taking 100mg bid for over a year now. I have never been so normal feeling in my gut. I do have some bad days with it, just depends on what I eat. I get stuck gas sometimes and have to really push and typically take a phazyme to relieve it. I don't get any adverse reactions. It's a pain in the butt at the pharmacy, but well worth it. I have had crohn's for 15 years now, had major bowel resection surgeries and lost my ileum. Every BM was watery and explosive and very very painful. After a few weeks of taking it, I was happy but did not think it would work for long. And this has seriously put me in remission and I have average 3 BMs a day that are semi-solid versus my old average at 15 or more per day. Changed my life!!!"


"I love love love mirena! I have had it for 2 years and have had only 1 period. I've lost weight, my acne has cleared up, no periods, and best of all no babies."


"I have been suffering with anxiety and depression and my Dr. prescribe Prozac but I dislike it. I took for a week and I have suicidal thoughts. So she prescribe me pristic I took it the first day I have jitters and feel so dehydrate. The second day I have loss appetite and also still dehydrate I was still drinking a lot of water. Third day same think as the second but no suicidal thoughts. Just the seven day I felt so sad I don't know if it is because I mix it with my birth control pills. I am still waiting on my next appointment with my Dr. and ask her but I am happy I lost five pounds. The Dr. said  my loss of appetite was ok , her concern were more on suicidal thoughts."


"this produce works well at shrinking the hemorrhoid and eliminating the pain and itch that goes with it. but, i do not understand why this medication is so expensive. i do not have insurance and it is a mystery to me why, given the two common ingredients in this medication, it is priced so exorbitantly. hydrocortisone is an inexpensive drug as is pramoxine. why is the product suddenly in the hundreds of dollars (especially if you purchase the name brand) because the hyrocortisone is 2.5% instead of 1%, it now has pramoxine in it and they give you a plastic screw-on instrument that allows you to introduce the cream directly into your rectum. seems like an incredible rip-off to me. i can only imagine what the markup must be on this product."


"It made my stomach hurt, gave me bad gas pain and a headache."


"I don't know if I am getting well or not. But I am having a good bit of the side effects
 All the inflammation,  swelling,  weakness, and hurting all over hand arm, shoulders, legs and feet. I sit down an I don't want to move again because of all this. I'm also experiencing the confusion, emotional, and mood changes."


"Been on xulane for 7 months, most of the time I'm chill, no mood swings, periods are lighter, I used to have awful cramps now I only have minimal cramping on the first day of my period.  I love it, only thing that's annoying is the occasional headaches and nausea.  The nausea is super annoying cause I love to eat, other than that I recommend it!"


"It seemed to work as a pain medication, due to my chronic arthritis in my back with degenerative bone disease. I also have a steel rod in my right leg and other chronic illness."


"Had ever worsening fungal rash for 3 months under doctor's care and use of multiple prescribed remedies including topical and oral agents without relief.  Found tolnaftate at pharmacy independently in desperation prior to leaving on beach holiday.  Tolnaftate was immediately effective with rash disappearing within 48 hours.  Thank you for saving my vacation."


"I have been diagnosed with both Dysautonomia and GAD. I cannot take SSRI's as they throw me into an extreme panic state starting with pill one. I finally gave in and accepted Xanax from my doctor. My dosage is 0.05 3 times a day. I never take the prescribed dose but rather 1/2 pill in the morning, daytime if needed and I rarely take at night. My life has done a complete turnaround. I have energy again, I'm not so tense, snappy or experiencing the extreme anxiety that would peak at around 2pm. I'm careful to take as I need, and while doctors may not like prescribing it, the truth is many of us will be on medication forever. I've found something that doesn't feel like medication, I just feel like me."


"Over the past 7 months I have taken phentermine 5 of those months and in this time frame I have lost 85 lbs. I would definitely recommend this medication. It did wonders for me!"


"I used this three years ago after I was Prego. I had vey bad depression, ocd, anxiety. Not sure which condition but felt all symptoms. Took 20 mg celexa, vitamin D and metformin for PCOS. As a miracle all symptoms went away. Had a few days when they would return but not constant. Just now and then. Did not have to be on meds continous. Was manageable with vitamin d and light, celexa when occurring. I am Prego with second child had some stress with baby and boom all symptoms returned. Exactly like I previously felt. Took 10 mg while Prego did not do anything. Am due to deliver anytime now. Am going to up dose to 40 after Prego. To knock out the symptoms. Am scared it won't work. But keep reminding myself that my body desponded well before."

"When I was in my early 20's I was always sick, weak-fainting-felt like a hangover or morning sickness 24/7 (even taking a shower was a huge event for me)....went through many test and other meds, until I started taking this. Worked great at stabilizing my body allowing me to live a normal life, no side effects really. Tried to wean myself off a few time, (or even if I forgot to take a pill), I would feel very very weak and short of breath, heart palpitation--kind of like a really bad hang over feeling. **side note--I had been on birth control since I was 18. Eventually I decided to stop taking BC (at 28 yrs old), and now have completely stopped taking Florinef...no struggle or signs of weakness/sickness. I am feeling great. It has been 1 mo"


"Tried this last year as have widespread oestoarthritis  and lost 8 kgs over 6mths -was told I could only take  this drug for 6 mths but after not taking it for 4mths have put on 3kgs so have had a new prescription and will aim to have a stronger willpower!! Hate the odour but still love my chocolate!!!"


"I had the Nexplanon insert in my arm for three years as I had Pcos. In those three years I had one long difficult period. It occurred shortly after implantation of the insert and lasted almost two months. The period was very heavy and difficult to deal with. No cramps, some bleeding, mood swings, low sex drive (of course). But I have to say it was well worth it. I never had a period again, no camping, mood levelled out and sex drive went up."


"For the past 4 years this medication has been great to me. I was prescribed this because I have had horrible TMJ. At night this would ease my pain. It would also relax my jaw enough to sleep and not have clenching and grinding. I've only had 2 problems taking it. It has gave me nightmares and it makes me so sleepy that I rarely get out of bed on time the next day. But all in all it has helped me."


"I have had my nexplanon for just over a year. The first 4 months were good, I still got my period on time, it wasn't as heavy, no cramping. After 4 months I clotted, it was disgusting and still do. It would happen for weeks at a time, stop for a few days and start up. I have completely lost my sex drive, it doesn't even appeal to me, my depression and anxiety is worse, and now I have horrible insomnia. Within the last month my cramping is horrible, I feel like I have cysts on my ovaries again. My bleeding is light but mostly clots. I hate this thing. I got it because I was unsure if my hubby and I would have anymore kids and we've decided not too. In two weeks I go see my doctor and I'm going to ask about permanent BC."


"I was put on Duragesic when the MS Contin wasn't enough to control my chronic pain, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, even with breakthrough medicines. At first the patches worked well once I got up to a dose that worked. The only horrible drawback is that I live in the desert and once the daytime temperatures got over about 90 degrees F the patches began dumping more because of the heat. I finally had to quit using them, due to side effects brought on by the high temperatures. Also at times I would just fall asleep. I finally quit the patches all together when I fell asleep driving and almost had a bad, bad wreck. I feel the patches work great for people who don't have to deal with high outside temperatures."


"Immediate ability to breath fully and normally through nose.  Made me realize I have chronic congestion as I don't ever recall being able to breath through my nose this well.  Unfortunately it lasts a few hours max for me and its recommended to not take for more than three days.  An absolute tease but fantastic being able to sleep breathing through my nose"


"I've been on Atripla for about 2 and half years my viral load and cd4 are looking good. But I have had the most terrible time with bowel movements since I started I have severe constipation. I have mucus build up like crazy in my nose. I'm always sniffing or coughing. And I still suffer from dizziness and light headiness throughout the day. I'm going to talk to my doctor soon about changing this medication because using an enema every morning is a drag. Other then that the medicine has been good."


"I was diagnosed within the past year with diabetes.  Started on metformin and farxiga's competitor.  Had a very difficult time with bloating, constipation, abdominal pain.  After 6 weeks I changed to Farxiga and the difference was amazing.  My stomach felt so much better.  Blood sugars in the normal range with this med along with diet.  I am able to get this medication free b/c of the awesome coupon they have for private insurance.  Have had a bit of trouble with yeast infections but as long as I take care of it immediately it has been ok.  Not happy I have diabetes but so glad I have a medication that I can tolerate. I actually use the combination of Farxiga and metformin - Xigduo."


"5 days now.  Free 2 week trial - why not!  The 1st 2 days horrible.  My sleep is deeper, however, it is harder to wake up.  I have noticed a cough, not bad, just annoying.  I don't feel like my appetite is suppressed - I still eat 3 meals a day and sometimes a snack - however, I'm utilizing the "lose it" app - low cal diet (approx. 1200/day) and doesn't seem to hard.  I have STILL lost 2.6 lbs in 5 days.  Usually, with a low cal diet, you usually lose approx. 2lbs/week.  I noticed I was voiding a lot - so wondering if it was water weight that was lost - however, I am drinking more fluids including water.  I will continue to update! Have 50 lbs to lose.  Will incorporate exercise next week!"


"Reduced my need for rescue meds to more than half in four weeks"


"This was working for me for years as Aciphex.  When the generic came out, it worked for a while.  Now some days it doesn't work at all and other days it works for a while and then the heartburn comes on full force.  Research shows one doesn't build up a resistance to this medicine, so I think the generic manufacturer is doing something different."


"Day 5 off Subutex after a quick 2 week detox. Day 3 was the worst upset stomach, aching legs and the lack of sleep but that's about it, nothing to be scared about it's all cope able, hot baths and paracetamol. Just don't listen to the horror stories, if done correctly it's doable. Good luck."


"This pill is my first one and it's okay BUT My acne is not gone already (after 3 months). I have cystic acne in the chin, around the mouth. Maybe I have to wait more... Also, it gave me vaginal dryness -_- (the lube don't help) so I have to buy products (like Vagisil Prohydrate, Replens) to help this condition."


"Worked very well for the first 2 nights then made me toss and turn all night the next 5 nights...way worse  a night than if I hadn't taken anything.  Not worth Continuing."


"After taking Effexor for years, my doc switched me to Cymbalta. That was 3 years ago no effect for pain management."


"This medication has been a god-send for me. After 13 years of daily panic attacks which always got worse if I was tired or stressed... I have not had ONE since I started this medication.

If you can get passed the side effects this is a wonderful medication. For me - my side effects are an increase in appetite and subsequent weight gain, and brain zaps at night when I get really tired - but these are starting to get better... I am just about to start month 3.

The first 2 weeks were hell, as I was constantly exhausted and could not seem to wake up mentally until about noon and hit the best part of my day around 5 pm; and starving all the time. If you can make it through that  - it is totally worth it."


"After trying carbidopa/Levadopa, Mirapex, Requip, & gabapentin, the Neupro is the best.

"I have tried taking many different brands of birth control for last 4 years. When I first started birth control pills, I got really fat. So I changed by brand. Next one caused me bleeding as soon as I took it. So I quit that one also and I gave up on birth control thinking its not for me. Early this year, after a year of staying away from contraceptive, I wanted to give it a try again. My doctor prescribed me Portia once I reminded her of my whole ordeal with birth control over the years. She told me, lets give this one a try and see what happens. If not then I would have to go to IUD.

Thank god for Portia, I did not have to go to IUD. Portia is subtle and come without any side effects for me."


"Mixed with chilled lemon (clear) Gatorade in the gallon jug provided by pharmacist. Dosed as told 8 x 8oz glasses ever 15 minutes twice; once early afternoon and once early evening as my colonoscopy is early morning. Total sixxteen 8oz glasses consumed. Would have rated the product a 10 if not for some minor taste/texture issues. It worked for me in 1 hour on both cycles. Last movements 3 hours after dosing produced clear results. I'm ready, hungry and heading to sleep. Drinking some additional water all day to offset possible dehydration not addressed with Gatorade."


"Have had nexplanon in my arm for a little over a year now. No problems with the insertion. It is very effective. Didn't use a condom. Sex at least once a week and haven't gotten pregnant yet so thats why I give it a five star rating. Side effects for me were slim in the first couple of months but soon after my mood definitely changed. I cry over everything now. I've experienced mood swings, appetite increase and decrease, some days I can't stop ranting.  I have gone from occasional depression to depressed all of the time. Can't sleep.  Anxiety all day long. Dizzy. Fatigue all day. Longer periods. Never had anxiety attacks before, do now. They're becoming more frequent. Getting it removed"


"This medicine is good for me and has boosted my confidence as previously I couldn't sustain an erection for long enough to please my partner or even to orgasm sometimes. I take the lowest dosage available but I can now achieve a long lasting rock hard erection when aroused, leading to a powerful ejaculation. My partner is also highly satisfied with the changes in me.

The side effects of a blocked nose and headache are irritating but mild and disappear after a day or so."


"This medication is great.  I've tried several other antidepressants and this one is by far the most effective especially when taken concurrently with an SSRI.  The only bad thing about it is it makes you shake like a leaf.  I once spilled a drink all over me because I couldn't hold it steady.  But this side effect is insignificant in comparison to the benefits of taking the medicine."


"I recently was diagnosed with BPD. I have suffered from depression, fear of abandonment, and suicidal idiologies since I was a teenager. Last October I had a total left knee replacement. The surgeon put me on tramadol up to 8 a day. I never took that many but I did notice a change in my mood and depression. While not a panacea, tramadol (50mg) 2x a day has made a significant improvement in my symptoms especially since I am going through a breakup with my significant other."


"I have been getting Iron treatments for a few years now...they have been long and drawn out, up until now.  I used to have to get 3 treatments a/week for 10-12 weeks...which meant my days were short and I couldn't do anything else.  Then the iron would last for about 4-6 months..then my count would go back down to 6.9 or 7.1 and I would start all over again.  My Doctor tried Venofer this last time and I had 2 treatments, lasting 1 to 1 and1/2 hours each and I was done...WOW! What a difference. I just went for a check up and my count was 11.7, and my treatment was in September.  Normally, I'm preparing to start treatments again, because my count would be down to 9 by now. I'm truly impressed with this treatment."


"THIS DRUG IS A TOXIC POISON and should be BANNED!!!!
I took only one shot on June 17, 2015 due to complaining about painful periods due to a fibroid. Worst mistake of my life... For the first month and a half i didn't have a period which was great!  Then on August 1st it started, badly. I woke up with blood clots the size of golf balls falling out of me, and my entire uterine lining, all at once, like my intestines were falling out.  I haven't stopped bleeding and have even been put on a BC pill, acupuncture, nothing works. I was fainting, went to the ER for blood transfusions. Still hasn't stopped. I pray to god every day to help. HELP!!!!!! I've been hemorrhaging for 2 months now."


"Wow. This drug was miraculous for me! I saw results after just a couple days, then at about 4 weeks my rosacea flared up badly. Two weeks later, it cleared up and my skin is almost 100% perfect! I also use finacea, in the morning. I use Soolantra at night. Finacea alone made me smoother but still red. I haven't had clear skin like this in 15 years since I first got diagnosed. Excellent!!!!"


"I am on the last week of the second month of this pill and I have been spotting a brown discharge( not heavy enough for a pad or tampon but annoying)  since the last week of the first month. It wont stop I'm getting ready to start my third month so my first period week on the pill is 3 weeks away. If the spotting doesnt' stop after my period week I'm calling my doc for a new pill."


"I started taking it after my husband passed away; he had a cardiac problem and I tried to unsuccessfully help him.  I did call the emergency services, they tried but were unable to help him.  After that I could not get thoughts about the incident out of my mind and I lost in excess of 50lbs the next month.  I was given Zoloft by my doctor which did interrupt my 'panic', however I only took the medicine for less than one month as I couldn't think properly.  I rely on my mind, my thoughts to process how I relate to the 'world' - I decided that being sad about the situation was appropriate and a normal response.  In the eighteen years since then I have not needed medication for depression - other things yes, but not mood disorders.  Thank you."


"My son has done a complete turn around since he has began taking Vyvanse."


"I have had Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome for almost 5 years and I tried many different medications and so far I have been taking these for almost 2 years and I haven't had an episode since! I know the pain I have been through and pray for anyone that has it!"


"I am 56 yo male and have been on shots and Axiron for 11 months and my testosterone levels are still around 150.  Before I started any testosterone, I was at about 230, then after starting shots every 4 weeks my T-levels dropped and kept dropping to about 95 and recently went up to 150.  The 200 mg shots are every three weeks now and Axiron daily 60 mg but still no major results except gaining weight and some muscle mass.  All hormones were normal except FSH that was elevated.  Don't know what the problem is because most people do well with shots and axiron."


"Works for me."


"I've used this birth control for 8 years. I was a late bloomer, and didn't have my first period until well into age 16, I'm told because I'm small and athletically inclined. I never had cramps or mood swings - but my periods were extremely irregular and would arrive unexpectedly to ruin my favorite pairs of underwear. My doctor selected this initially due to cost, as I was not sexually active and just wanted regulation. Now at age 24, I'm happy to report it's effectiveness at preventing pregnancy, as well as a complete lack of any side effects. No acne, no weight gain, no mood swings, no spotting, no cup size enhancements (unfortunately) and a nice 4-5 day window that I know exactly when and how much I'm going to bleed."


"I'm 56. I've been on Prozac for about 20 years. I would rather not take any medication but the reality is that, for me, there seems to be no choice. Like many who have seen their share of shrinks, I tried everything - and then everything in every combination. Prozac is the only drug that helps me.
I have been off of Prozac now for about 3 months. I tapered off very slowly. Thought I made it! But I have gone back to my old miserable self. I hit myself, hard. I want to break everything that doesn't "cooperate" immediately - a button, a hard-to-open package, or a pen for example. I never feel like hitting another person - just myself. I'm going downstairs to begin my Prozac regimen again."


"This medication has helped tremendously with my iron deficiency."


"In general, I feel better since I started talking losartan potassium for high BP.  It seems to work well for me."


"Contracted GW and went to dermatologist who diagnosed them after one before misdiagnosed them. Had them burned (electrocuted off) and frozen. Had to return two weeks later as many more small ones had grown, same treatment again. I was then prescribed Aldara for a month, morning and night for 5 day stints (Mon-Fri). I kept up with this first week but second week I started just doing nights as twice a day seems excessive after reading everyone else's prescriptions. Things look much clearer but I got a blister which healed significantly after taking a break for a few days. This stuff takes a few days to kick in but expect to be pretty red and your scrotum to be sore if you're a guy. I'll repost in a couple weeks when I'm done my treatment."


"The daily use of Oxybutynin has worked wonderfully  for me. I have not experienced any side effects what-so-ever. I would say that  it has stopped at least 98% of my bladder spasms. Reducing the "constant" urge to go "all" the time to almost never."


"I got the IUD a little over two months ago after searching forever for a birth control that has good side affects and doesn't make you gain weight. I haven't gained a single pound from being on it. My periods are have still come but they are super light and last about 3 days, they are also sporadic but I don't blame it too much since before my periods used to last 7 days and were sporadic anyways.I have little to no cramping and when I do cramp it lasts about 3 days and usually the 3 days I lightly bleed. Also every now and then I check for the strings and they are always there in place. The reason I am giving it 9/10 is because how many stories I hear about having to have surgery and it makes me stress about what if."


"I am 71 and my mom died at 91 after a long decline into total dementia, though not Alzheimer's.  When she was given Exelon, she became quite difficult and insulting, so we took her off.  I was experiencing initial stages of decline at the time and so I tried her remaining patches for 10 days, at 4mg strength.  I immediately felt an improvement in clarity and motivation, but I am under heavy blood pressure medicines and so still did not have the ability to do all I wanted.  After 10 days I stopped the patches and quickly went back to my somewhat confused and listless situation.  Three months later I got a prescription and began using the patches again with the significant improvement.  But a 9.5 dose makes me aggressive.  Problem is the price."


"I use singular every night to help with my allergies and ASTHMA."


"Hm, I got the 3 day cream insert, put it in for the first time and realized I got a little more itchy down there than I was before, nothing crazy though. Maybe its because my YI wasn't so bad. But I have no problems with this medication so far."


"I've been on Lutera and another equivalent off-brand for nearly three years. Before, I had terrible cramps around my first day of my menstrual cycle, and now, I have very mild cramps. I'm usually fine with a pain killer and can go about my day, much different than my experience before with having to leave school just because it was so dreadful. The only side effect I have noticed was a decreased sex drive (not by much). I tried NuvaRing this summer and wasn't a fan, so I went back to Lutera. I would overall rate this a great birth control. But most importantly, I find it important to set an alarm on my phone to remind myself! It hasn't let me down, whether it be bad side effects or an unwanted pregnancy, for the past few years!"


"Often my jaw cramps up and hurts more than my knees do before a storm. The Voltaren Gel also helps with the bone pain I get along my temples and at the base of my skull, so I am thankful that it is a non-greasy gel instead of a cream. (These areas of pain come from a compression head injury I got as a teenager.) I have a lot of problems trying to take anything for the arthritis in oral form, and I still take Aciphex along with using the Voltaren Gel as a precaution. (This product works well with even less than the amount suggested, so a tube goes further for me; I use up about 1 1/2  tubes each month.)"


"I have had nexplanon for about a year and a half now, and I think it’s worth it. The only thing is I get a lot of spotting but it doesn’t bother me because I just wear panty liners every day. Sometimes the spotting stops for months at a time and I get pregnancy symptoms like breast soreness and lower back pain, which can really freak me out but the spotting always comes back. I would definitely say the worst side effect I’ve gotten is the weight gain. I gained 30 pounds while on nexplanon and I work out every day and maintain a healthy diet. All in all, birth control is always going to have negative side effects, and it’s really up to you if you want to put up with it or not. Every person reacts differently so I would give it a try."


"I've titrated from 5mgs to 10mgs over a month. I'm still on Seroquel and Rivotril. The Brintillex definitely causes tummy issues, between nausea and severe indigestion/heartburn which exacerbates my asthma. So I'm trying different times to take it. The one suggestion is to take it with your biggest meal. And as someone has said earlier it seems that certain foods do make the nausea worse."


"I've had Multiple Sclerosis since 1989, was on Copaxone for 11 years and have been on Gilenya for 2 years.  Both worked fine in stopping episodes but injection sides were painful, red, irritation and left holes in my skin.  A pill was what I prayed for and its worked for me.  The down side its costly and I have asked for help with co pay which Gilenya did not provide but Chronic Health Funding did.  is helping a little.  The thing I worry about is since I started Gilenya I've gotten lots of colds ending up in asthma attacks, at least twice a year.  When I questioned my Neuro he said he didn't think they had any connection. "


"This caused yeast infections, itching and blood in urine."


"I've been on Cymbalta 30 mg for a week now. Regular depression, plus my mother got ill and passed away 3 mths ago. I have been able to stop crying, but I am SO TIRED. I hope this side effect will cease soon."


"Sleep well, eat well. It gave me the energy to do the things I used to do. I love it so far and my husband has noticed a great difference in attitude, for the better. I get pleasure from things today. I had lost faith in Doctors to help me. I feel Alive Again, not high just Normal!"


"I have been on it for one week and lost 10lbs so far along with doing weight watchers, I have had no side effects love this drug it has also cut my cravings out!!! I have started taking 4 pills a day very excited to see if I continue to loose weight!!!"


"My son is 4 years old. I knew from a very young age he had ADHD because I see the same behaviors in my husband and he was diagnosed as a child. It did take some getting used to. Like others have said he was tired, and emotional at first. He has been on Intuniv for about 6 months now and I have seen great improvement. He has next to no aggression, he focuses a good bit better but I still feel that could still improve. Impulsive behavior gone he started caring about his actions and other peoples feeling and now he actually cares if he is in trouble. I am pleased I feel like he is too young to try the heavier alternatives and for us we are happy with how he is doing."


"My migraines have been cut in half by using 10mg elavil daily. I used to get severe headaches 2 times per month lasting at least 3 days each. Now I get about 1 every 4-6 weeks and for the most part they last a day or 2 and are

Much less severe. I used to be bed ridden for days and it's happened only once or twice since starting elavil 6 months ag. I pray that this continues and that I don't build a tolerance and have to up my dosage because I don't like taking meds"


"So as of right now. I'm sitting in the bath room. Making this review. I started this whole thing yesterday. I got a bottle for .98 at wally world. I drank a little less than half. Waited 6 hours nothing. I drank the other half about 3am fell asleep. Nothing all day till about 2:45 I think the part of the impaction the was blocking me is out now it's just cleaning me ALL THE WAY OUT. I dislike the part.of in,and out the restroom. Me sitting here is doing nothing. I have to move around to keep it coming. So lets hope it's all out. Lol I would say this is a pretty good stuff if you're impacted or constipated but go ahead and just drink the whole bottle and get it done and over with instead of drinking half and waiting."


"51 yr old female, I've had seizures since I was 12, every kind, I was on every medicine under the sun. Taking Depakote ER and Carbatrol ER  seems to be only meds that work for me. some side effects nothing I can't handle, better than having seizures all day. (tired, sometimes depressed, trembles, jerks). I have gran mal / tonic clonic about 1 every 10 years."


"I just had my first injection today, my first of 5. It was the most painful experience that I have ever experienced in my life. I thought it was going to be like a normal injection bam and done!

I'm reading the other comments and everyone is reporting that it is not painful. I'm confused???
The pain occurred immediately during and lasted for 5 minutes...I was in agony.
The pain subsided after 5 minutes from unbearable and intolerable 10/10 to 3/10 for the remainder of the day. However, I still can't walk on it."


"I have been taking this for three weeks now, blood sugars have never been better. Even see a 69 sometimes after eating! I am down ten lbs so far and hope it keeps going. No real side effects other than one bout of nausea and a feeling of dizziness like I got up to fast. I have cut out nighttime Lantus (30units!) and brought down morning Lantus from 70 units to 50 units. I still take metformin twice a day and one Amaryl once a day but hope to be rid of the Amaryl altogether so (I was taking it 3x a day :). After taking Byetta and not seeing a real difference in sugar lost about 6lbs and coping with the horrible heartburn. I'm loving Victoza except for the cost."


"It is very useful for angina patient. It will not cause any side effects."


"I have had major depression or Treatment-resistant depression for 19 years. I have tried every medication.  I have tried every combination of medications and coming up in September I will have had done ECT for three years.  I started Viibryd 5 weeks ago and it has been amazing I feel like I am living, which is really strange to say! I feel like I have a future and I and so excited about it! It is to early to say if this medication will continue working for me but I really hope it does and it is an incredible feeling."


"I started taking fluoxetine for anxiety (never told the MD about my bulimia) and was relieved when my bulimia was alleviated as well.  I stopped taking the medicine last week because I think it makes me a little TOO happy, kind of high-acting all the time, even though I am only on a 20 mg/day dose.  My husband does not like the change in personality I have had while on it.  He doesn't know about my disorder.  While on the medicine my bulimia was greatly reduced, but I did binge and purge still on occasion.  Felt a greater sense of self control though.  Since quitting the medicine about a week ago, I have been out of control, binging and purging twice a day on average.  I think I need to start taking it again, placebo effect or not."


"Out of no where I was hit with amid attacks. Th first one put me in the ER I thought I was dying. They gave me 20 Ativan. They help so much. They don't put me to sleep or a drunken stooper like Xanax. Just perfect. Luckily my attacks have really lessened and I just take when I feel one coming on and it's done. Thank you."


"I've had this for about 8 months and it's been horrible. I've bled the whole time. Headaches. Weight gain. Moody. My face has broken out and nothing seems to help it. Cysts and it's sometimes 'new' blood but also sometimes dark 'old' blood. I want to get it out but boyfriend doesn't want me to...he'll never understand what it's like to be a girl.. Lol"


"I have been on this for about 6 months. I love it! It seems that the longer I'm on it the shorter and lighter my periods are getting! I have experienced some anxiety, but nothing too serious. I would recommend this to anyone who is horrible about taking a pill a day!"


"Before taking Viibryd was on Lexapro for a year. I experienced severe withdrawals while transitioning medication. Electric jolts..severe headaches..extreme anxiety..extreme aggression..paranoia then once the viibryd started working everything stopped I feel good 40mg works best for me. I am bi polar, this drug has helped a great deal with severe mood swings. I hope it continues to work for me."


"Very calming to my anxiety"


"I was put on this BC by an army provider because I have severe ovarian cysts and the WORST periods. I took it for about 5 months. The only side effects I've had are some mood swings and I literally cried about everything. I got off it for a while; because of training reasons and I'm just starting it again. I'm two weeks into my first pack and I'm still loving it! Less side effects than last time, give this birth control a chance!"


"Have lost 34 pounds in 4 months, hubby has lost 30 pounds in 4 months.

Not to mention the size loss... huge BMI drops."


"I have been on every SSRI out there and they do nothing for me. I was on Remeron about 5 years ago and noticed a significant lift in my depression and felt as I did before I suffered from depression. It also allowed me to get the sleep I struggle so hard to get every night. After a layoff with no insurance I came off Remeron. I recently have suffered from major depressive disorder and was put on what was supposed to be the best of the best Lexapro. After a year I still saw no difference except for the lack of sex and asked my psychiatrist to switch me to Remeron. He was surprised but did so with no objection and I'm currently tapering off the Lexapro and only two weeks into it I am beginning to feel much better already."


"I got this product when I was sweating through my uniforms in school almost constantly and was drenched 20 minutes into first period. Even in the middle of winter, I couldn't wear tight clothes or anything colored. I started wearing baggy sweatshirts without shirts, yet I could still feel the sweet dripping down my arms and side. I finally told my mom, who made me an appointment with the dermatologist. Although this product itches until you go to sleep, it is worth the peace of mind and comfort. I am on my third application and I am already completely dry!"


"Good medicine but takes 4-6 weeks to resolve."


"I've been on trintellix for over a year now and I'm going to stop. Reason?  Increased social anxiety and generalized anxiety, increase in paranoid thoughts/ fear, hot sweats on and off throughout the day.  It worked on cognition.  I have been super focused and less suicidal but the unwanted side effects were too difficult to handle and I've decided that's enough.  I'm going to go back on lamictal as it acts like an antidepressant and helps anxiety.  I also have been on abilify for 5 years.  Good drug!"


"Where do I begin....wow this medicine has really given me my life back! I truly felt like I was loosing my mind before I started taking this. I am in my late 30's, and for the past couple years I have tried several other medications for my severe mood swings (PMS). Being a mother of 3, with a husband, and working as a full time critical care nurse, I needed my life back!! My doctor said she had been going back to the "old faithful" Prozac for a lot of her patients. And boy am I glad I finally tried this one! I haven't had any of the crazy side effects I was scared of, and I feel calmer, happier, and not so socially awkward. I'm only on 20mg, but I feel wonderful with this."


"I recently had back surgery for spinal stenosis.  I was having leg pain and the pain in my leg was worse than before surgery.  After surgery I was also experiencing new pain of stabbing, electrical sensations in addition to the pain I previously had.  I was prescribed Neurontin and the doctor kept raising the dose with no difference in my pain.  I heard of similar experiences and being switched to Lyrica and it made a huge difference.  I was in so much pain day after day.  I switched to Lyrica and I have had nearly full relief of the pain I was having.  I can't even describe how much this medication has helped me.  If you find yourself in the same experience there is hope.  Keep communicating with your surgeon and try Lyrica."


"The side effects I have are body aches, weight gain and lightheadedness."


"Had gallbladder removed on Tues. It is Sun. Went home an hour and a half after surgery. Got Nucynta. Felt invincible. Made appointment to get more tests and surgeries same day, went flea marketing, etc. I actually picked up grandkids and wrestled with them, etc. I feel the burn. Back hurts. May have torn surgical sites a bit. Nucynta made it so I no longer faced extreme stress incontinence, halted my 12 year battle with GERD, cured chronic cough. Very good product."


"Tramadol are trash! They DO NOT WORK! I suffer with pain from chronic  kidney stones and end up in the hospital often. And was given these. I am so pissed for having to pay for something that does not work. They do not care about my pain and just think that everyone is a drug abuser. I was on the yellow vicodin that worked fine for my pain and never had gotten addicted to them. Then these idiot doctors had to go and fix what wasn't broken."


"I took Cipro for a UTI.  Within 3 doses (1.5 days) I went from walking fine, to having severe pain in my left knee and having to limp.  The pain got worse.  Finally, I researched Cipro's side effects and found out that it can cause severe damage to tendons.  I stopped the medication, but the damage was already done.  A year later I had to have surgery to repair some of the damage.  Since then I have read other horror cases like mine.  Cipro seems to find a weak tendon and strike at it.  I will never take this drug again."


"I was prescribed Sertraline (Zoloft) 200mg by my psychiatrist to treat Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder.  I've tried in the past Fluoxetine, Citalopram and Velafaxine.

Sertraline was the very worst medication I have taken to treat Body Dysmoprhic Disorder.  It simply didn't work.  My mood was worse from day one of starting Sertraline, and remained that way right up to 200mg.  Unlike Fluoxetine, Sertraline did nothing to relieve the symptoms of Body Dysmorphic Disorder.  It did not take away the obsessional behaviour regarding my physical appearance.  The major side effect I had from Sertraline was constipation and even taking laxatives did not work."


"I was put on Bunavail because of the constipation I was having on the Bup's. I used to take 2mg twice a day...my Doc told me how great this new Bunavail is, yada yada. The first two days of it, I was going thru WD's! My moods were awful, I was clammy but hot, sweating, chills, no appetite. So my Doc tells me to double my dosage, and finally I feel better...no more WD's, but my gosh...the mood swings...I'm like a crazy woman on her period, ready to snap on the next person that irritates me. That's NOT like me, I'm always rainbows and butterflies, and I hate this. While the constipation has gotten better, it's still there. I'd rather have to take laxatives then deal with these mood swings. I'll give it another month until my next appointment"


"I just recently had Skyla inserted today. I'm not going to lie.. The insertion did hurt! However, the pain didn't even last 30 seconds. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Afterwards, I've only had minor cramping that would be the same as it is on my period. I took 1,000mg of ibuprofen about an hour before my visit. My doctor also said there is absolutely no reason to use condoms anymore besides protecting against STD's because skyla is so effective on its own! Hope this helps anyone who is wondering whether or not skyla is right for them..!"


"Recently diagnosed with osteoarthitis in both hands.  The pain was so bad that I would wake up in the middle of the night in pain and I was not able to use my right hand at all.  Doctor put me on voltaren one week ago.  So far I have been pain free. Still have swelling in joints but the morning stiffness and pain is gone.  Gave it an 8 rating since I have only been on the drug for 1 week. Have experienced some acid reflux and sleepiness during the day. I don't know if it is because of the medicine or other problem."


"I've not been on humira for long, for about 4 months, but for me it has not helped with anything. Sure, I might get a little less pain every now and then, but I still feel like I'm being torn apart from the inside out after I eat or when I try to sleep.
I'm experiencing many side effects which aren't pleasant. A rare one which I have is being on my period for 2 months, coming off it for a week or two then it coming back on! I still get stomach pain, nausea, joint pain, soreness under my ribs, dry mouth and trouble swallowing, feeling lightheaded, night sweats, trouble sleeping and much more that my consultant decided to look right passed and keep me on this damn thing!
I had higher hopes for this, I'm quite disappointed to say the least."


"Started taking this for extreme tiredness a week ago after my exhaustion level rose to unacceptable levels. In previous Multiple Sclerosis episodes I had been on Provigil, but stopped taking it due to severe headaches, and found I didn't need them anymore anyway. So far I haven't had any headaches and my mental alertness is significantly higher. My physical energy is still low, but has improved some. I can make it through a quick shopping trip without having to sit down and rest. I'm hoping that continued use of the medicine will build up my endurance level over time."


"will ruin your life"


"I took this late at night expecting it to work and I should have read the reviews first it didn't stop my cough at all and I think made it worse I ended up just sucking on a cough drop which worked better than this. It is now 5:30am and my stomach feels twisted like I'm going to vomit but I don't have anything to vomit because I haven't eaten anything and it has to be the cough syrup because I have had the cough drops before. I'm never going to use this medicine again."


"Prozac has allowed me to enjoy life and handle more stressful situations without the depression.  I am much more focused, have far more confidence and a greater feeling of self worth. I took Prozac approximately 7 years ago for severe depression and gradually stopped within 12 months when I felt I no longer needed it.  Unfortunately this year has been difficult and very stressful and once again I was suffering from ongoing depression, hence my recent return to Prozac to assist me cope.  I would rather find other ways to control my depression but have tried many things and Prozac seems to work. I work full time and have worked in the same job for over 17 years and Prozac allows me continue doing what I love."


"I have taken Silenor 4 times over the last 10 days as needed. I tried a little Doxepin twice before and pure Doxepin gave me a headache and hangover groggy effect. Silenor allows me to get 8 hours of sleep with NO side effects yay!  It's a great medicine....finally. If you have trouble sleeping then you should try it."


"On week five of trulicity.. The first night I was beyond exhausted went to bed at 7pm slept all night.. Week 1 had every symptom and was so sick vomiting, diarrhea and this deep gut burping that smelled horrible.. Week 2 was better but week 3-5 are hit and miss. I have lost about ten pounds mainly due to little to no appetite. I take my shot on Tuesday and I vomit every Saturday. I miss about 1 day of work a week due to feeling horrible and dizzy. This drug is horrible but my sugar with other meds is down to 7 from 9.8 in 3 months.. The burping is the worst it's like rotten eggs...so gross."


"I wanted to go on the shot because the ease of only having to go to the doctor every 3 months and the chance of not having periods anymore were really attractive to me. So far ive only gotten my first shot and i can say without a doubt that i never want to go back for my 2nd one. I have had nonstop bleeding for TWO MONTHS. I cant have sex because i bleed too much which is ridiculous since the reason i got the shot was to have sex! My doctor never explained just how much people actually bleed on the depo shot and how common it is! If i knew id bleed everyday consistently for months on end i wouldve ran out of that office! I can only hope these symptoms will go away once the final 3rd month is over...."


"I was diagnosed as early as nine with GAD as the years passed it got so bad that I was put on disability at the age of 27 for a year. I had lost many jobs and relationships. I became an agoraphobic and this lasted almost 2 years. I have been seeing an amazing Dr. and he recommended Klonopin since it was longer acting. I told him I would think about it as I had been taking ativan for years and assumed it was working (while I was still trapped inside my house, panic would subside a bit in my safety zone with the ativan.) Anyways, after many sessions with my Dr and trying many medications I was diagosed with GAD, Panic Disorder with Agoriphobia. I had never even heard the term panic disorder but it fit me to a T. Nothing has worked better for me"


"I was diagnosed with BV last week and was prescribed Metronidazole .Day 2 of my treatment I started to have the abdomen pains not to mention bloating. O my gosh the bloating is horrible is was like premenstrual bloating!"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"This was the biggest waste of time and money. Had to reschedule my procedure due to this product not working at all. I've used other preps in the past with success and this one was a complete waste."


"Hi Guys,
On feb, 30th I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and he did not come inside me. He actually pulled out about 2 minutes before. But I was still afriad so I took plan-B 10 hours later. Not to mention I was ovulating the night we had sex. Immediately after I took the medication, I was incredibly dizzy and tired. After a day I began to feel bloated and had backpains. My period was due on feb 14th but it came 4 days earlier today (feb 10th). The medication worked for me, I didn't have nausea or spotting and for the most part I was okay. I think the stress of possibly being pregant was what had a real toll on my body. I was so stressed out for the past week and a half. Don't stress until you period is due, there is no point!"


"Dr gave me a sample to see if it would relieve my ibs-c. Although I couldn't afford the prescription, I was very impressed with how well linzess worked in my case. I didn't realize how much of a storm was going on in my gut until this drug calmed it, amazing! I am definitely going to check out the coupon options."


"So, when I had just turned 13, last year, I started experiencing some breakouts on my forehead. They weren't that bad, so it wasn't much of a worry, but over the summer and throughout the year it had gotten a lot worse. So, I went to dermatologist in November, and they got me set up with some Epiduo. At first, I actually saw a good difference the first week, but into the second week, I experienced common problems, such as my face drying out, burning, redness, dryness, and flaky skin on my face. That all went away on my fourth/fifth week. I'm seeing some differences. Still, have acne, but its not as much as I had before, so it did help"


"Im in so much pain and discomfort this is awful!!! Never again. Never. Again."


"Day 4 if taking a small dosage (prescribed 50mg but from past experience with medication I decided to quarter the tablets to ease into the side effects). First day I got heartburn for a few hours and slight tingles in my face and hands, nothing major. Day two was fine. Day three I had some diarrhoea which settled after a few hours. Day four (today) I feel terrible, I have diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, headache & muscle aches. I feel like a big bag of urgh. I’m on such a tiny dose I don’t know whether to keep going or stop. My panic disorder stems from a fear of being sick so I’m thinking of just stopping unless this settles and I feel brave enough tomorrow to go through the same thing"


"I am a 34 year old mother of 4, with high blood pressure that completely limited my life. On this medication in 4 days my pressure dropped from 140/110 to 106/65 with very little variation. I also dropped 9.5lbs because I have energy to move. I too need 10 hours of sleep but with that I have energy to do more things. I don't have the tense feeling. "


"This medication worked immediately.  I do experience to odd taste, watery vision, and mild cough. I also still have to use eye drops though the day. My vision started to clear and I could see more clearly. Unfortunately, this did not continue to be the case. After 3 months, my eye doctor could see improvement in my eyes. Although, my insurance refused to approve the medication, we decided to continue its use and continue to try to convince my insurance to approve. Two months later, the medication has been approved by my insurance, although they won't pay anything on it until I meet my deductible, (praying that doesn't happen), and the medication no longer seems to be working for me. My vision is again blurry and cloudy."


"I was on Cymbalta for 9 months and from an overall mood perspective it was incredible. I did suffer 2 noticeable side effects. I had some insomnia as well as difficulty with an orgasm (I am male). I then went to Wellbutrin and that did nothing. A year later I am back on Cymbalta and the MUCH better mood is worth it. The withdrawals of stopping were absolutely horrible (nausea, dizziness), but only lasted a couple of weeks as I lowered my dosage.  I will deal with those when I stop the next time."


"I have been using Implanon for over a year now and I really like it. I only got my period the first month when my body was getting used to it and have not had it since. I have gained about 8 pounds in the last year but I'm not sure if it was from the Implanon. Either way it is not bad.  I like Implanon because I don't have to think about taking it. I used to have the NuvaRing and would even forget the dates for that so it is nice to have a birth control that I can't forget to take."


"I was first prescribed Pristiq and found it to seriously affect my interest in sex.  I was then switched to Wellbutrin.  I have been on this medication for 2 months now.  At first I had severe headaches and almost gave up.  I'm glad I didn't because I am feeling much better.  I do find it hard to sleep some nights but hopefully that too will pass.  I also feel nausea occasionally.  My moods seems much better, negative thoughts creep up but quickly go away and I feel more content.  I am currently on 150 mg."


"Tried 3 different birth controls over the past year and finally felt like this one worked. It fixed my bleeding problems and regulated my cycle. Month by month I stared noticing the nausea getting worse and worse. Now are
4 months on this pill I've decided to stop taking it because it makes me sick as a dog. My breast are tender almost all of the time and my sex drive has basically vanished. Wish there was something out there that worked for me but this is definately not it"


"I have taken this medication many times for sinusitis along with concurrent ear infections (otitis media). It has always cleared up my infection. The only drawback is that I am always prescribed the 875 mg pill and those pills are HUGE!"


"Nexplanon was very good at keeping me from getting pregnant ,BUT WARNING I got really bad depression. My lungs and chest where hurting constantly , I felt very paranoid all he time. And the doctors thought at one point that I had a blood clots in my lungs. I don’t recommend to anyone unless you can deal with all those things."


"I was offered this medicine by my doctor to try after 30 years of suffering with migranes. Within 20 minutes the symptoms are gone. The heavy feeling across my chest, arms and neck and difficulty swallowing are inconvenient, but I am functional and it is easier to tolerate than a 3 day incapacitating headache. The cost almost floored me. $187.00 for 8/ 20 mg. pills. I will only use it under the most extreme circumstances."


"I've been on it all! Cymbalta, toparite, Lyrica and Nexium. Also, Inderal.  Still am for that matter! Fibro kicks butt and I don't know which one works and which one doesn't at this point.  I do know I am losing my hair and my nails are peeling off!  If anyone has any suggestion as to which drug might be doing this please help!  I can't find this as a reaction to any of them."


"I experienced an extreme menopause at 50:  hot flashes, crying, brain fog, night sweats for 4 years.  My female GYN would not prescribe HRT.  My family committed me to a mental institution.  I refused to take psych drugs.  Afterward I followed up with a neuro-psychologist who agreed to have my primary care Dr. prescribe Vivelle.dot.  Increasing it to 1.0 relieved me of all those horrible symptoms!  I have used it for 5 years along with generic (TEV) premarin.  A book which saved my life (besides THE BIBLE) is "OUTLIVING YOUR OVARIES" by Dr. Marina Johnson.  She rescues women in menopause and men in andropause through hormone replacement therapy!  I gave copies to several doctors and stressed to them the NEED for classes on menopause!"


"After 1 week receiving the shot. I had night sweats for 5 days. I been having severe anxiety. My body aches like I have  the flu it will be one month I've been on depo the night sweats r away but I'm having pain in my feet and in my knees. The odd thing is instead of gaining weight I'm loosing weight I lost so far 12 lbs in almost a month. I'm starting to spot due to my period always comes on the 20th. Not getting cramping yet.  I'm not going to get depo again because the night sweats n leg pain n some minor headaches I don't like. I'm 31 yrs old and a mom of 4. My husband says since the shot he noticed me more down n not in the mood. So I'm certain the depo is causing all this craziness to my body.I'm getting blood work done to c if its my thyroid"


"Just as the previous person commented....I happened upon Nuvigil/Provigil while being treated for the ugly side effects of Fibromyalgia...such as sleep disorders, PAIN all over (in my muscles), and an overall sense of fatigue - every day.  My Nuvigil ACTUALLY makes me WANT to move.  And, any Fibromyalgia patient would know that it is crucial for us to maintain some sort of movement everyday, even exercise if we can.  I think this is one of those medicines that were proposed (and approved) through the FDA for one primary condition. However, with time we find more uses for the medication that it may work even better on other conditions.  If it weren't for my Doctor - I would not have found this amazing option for my condition."


"I took three last night, I was pretty backed up. Woke up at 7 am with a little mild/moderate stomach irritation. Nothing bad. BUT! Knowing that I was going to take a laxative last night, I prepared all day by drinking water nearly constantly. No cramps pain or vomiting. (I have experienced vomiting when I do not hydrate properly the day before)."


"I had problems with motivation and just getting myself out of bed. Wellbutrin has helped significantly with this. It has made me more happy in general, in everyday situations. I am not as mopey and sad. This medicine has changed my life."


"I started Subutex treatment 1 year ago, I could not have made it this far without the subutex and my therapist. The key to this medication being successful is being 100% ready to stop using and having a healthy support system (eg. family, friends) You yourself have to WANT to stop using. Trying to stop to make others happy doesn't work, trust me I tried a few times and failed miserably. I am continuing my subutex treatment for pain management due to a severe back injury and it works very well."


"I have struggled with insomnia for years. My biggest problem is either staying asleep or falling asleep. I worry a lot at night as well and can hear a pin drop when I'm asleep. I was taking benzos but found that I needed them almost every night and that started to worry me so my physician gave me lunesta to try. (I have tried Ambien and Ambien CR, both did the opposite for me and kept me up all night). I love Lunesta. Not only do I fall asleep comfortably, I stay asleep. It feels natural, not like I am drugged. I wake up refreshed and ready for my day. I don't even need to take it every night, I found that if I take it a few nights, I don't really need it the following nights. Also I have not had the metal taste at all."


"I've had mine in since November 2013, it is now May 2014 and I get my period every 4 weeks, for 2 weeks of heavy bleeding, cramping and headaches. It's awful."


"Started this three days ago. Had already begun a low fat diet a few days prior. I've had none of the oil-related side effects, but definitely things are more windy!!! I take one in morning with breakfast and one in evening with evening meal. My lunch is fat free so don't need to take one then. I also have a bowl of high fibre cereal around 8pm which has the dual affect of stopping me eating junk and also the fibre is helping to keep my output firm, if you catch my drift!! Have had a few stomach cramps and generally need the loo within an hour of taking tablet. Put the effort in with diet and exercise, and this seems to definitely minimise the side effects."


"I just want to say thank you to anyone who was involved in making this medicine possible. I started taking this medicine to stop drinking and it has worked a treat. As an added bonus it has also aloud me to stop smoking as drinking was my trigger for having a puff. I have nothing but praise for this wonderful aid. I feel reset, like I am kid again and I am 48 years old."


"I am 19 year old active kid that exercises 4-6 times a week and suddenly after years of working out some migraines began in the gym that didn't go away for 3 months. All day everyday, constant migraines. I had to stop working out, got fat and lost all my gains. I started 25 mg topamax at the same time with chiropractic care  (found in neck x-ray abnormal lordotic curve) and started treatment every week. A week later of both of these combined, the migraines are finally gone! but my head still throbs except with no pain.. I am just happy I can finally exercise again, and stop hating life. (Got CT Scan and MRI of head before X-ray of neck, was clear {checked neck because it got stiffer a month into migraines} ) NO SIDE EFFECTS! :-)"


"Advised to take capsules 20 mins before food. Is this common? Had 5 bouts of severe vomiting & diarhoe in last 10 weeks. 9 mths on creon.  Any advice?"


"I was prescribed this about two months ago for PCOS (my doctor gave me the option to treat the symptoms or treat the root cause, and I choose the latter).  She started me out on a low dose and worked up to a full dose, which helped a lot with side effects.  I felt mildly nauseous all the time until I started focusing on really eating right. If I eat a good, healthy dinner right before I take the pills, I don't feel sick at all.  Another side effect, I've lost all interest in alcohol because it makes me feel terrible immediately. This has forced me to change my lifestyle, but in a good way. I've lost some weight and just generally feel better."


"I've been taking this pill for about 6 months now, I read the reviews and thought I'd tell you all everyone's body is different. The first week was bad, I woke up puking in the middle of the night because my body was not used to it. After the first month it was fine, I gained about 5-10 pounds since I started taking and also noticed my bra size went from a B to a D but I'm not complaining. My periods have been shorter instead of a week they are more like 3-5 days so that's a major plus. I do recommend this pill."


"Very useful for helping to level out the surges of adrenaline associated with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Helps insomnia brought on by POTS, in addition. Love it!"


"I've only been using Nexplanon for a little over 2 months now but so far I like it. I'm 10 weeks post partum. My first period with Nexplanon was very heavy and lasted a little over a week and a half. Since then, I spot every so often. The other side effect I've experienced is naseausa. Whenever I eat to the feeling of being full, I seem to feel as though I'm going to be sick. Which for me is alright, it helps me with not to overeat. I love that I don't have to remember to take a pill and the insertation was pretty painless (minus a little bruising for the first couple weeks)."


"I thought Entyvio might have been the next best treatment, after I could no longer take Remicade and Humira. I started the injections in May and my ears started to bleed a week after the injection. After a month on the medication I have full body itching. Lastly, after five months on the medication I am also sneezing have patches of dark red angry rashes that are the size of a silver dollar. I would highly recommend close observation on this medication and speak to your doctor right away when any of these side effects occur. In my case they are only increasing with more exposure."


"So I was put on duloxetine over 1 year ago. This was after I had tried about 3 different anti-depression medication that didn't help. I was first put on 30mg that made me slightly better but I stall felt constantly sad with no energy to do things . So then they increased the dose . Now I'm on 60mg. I have to say the drug saved my life , after years of constant suicidal thoughts and trying to harm myself I no longer feel the need to . I wouldn't say it makes you feel happy , it just makes you content . I have been rather lucky and not had to many side effects . I am quite tired but than I do think that's depression not the tablets .  It's a great medicine to take but if you miss a day or come off it's like hell . Like depression has engulfed you entirely."


"Had been having severe pains on both sides of my neck and went in to see my Primary Physician.  He felt my neck glands and they were swollen and the pain was severe.  Also ran a low grade temp.  Prescribed Amoxicllin 500mg twice a day for 10 days.  The Pain has subsided and so has the fever.  No side effects, except a little fuzzy headed and lethargic.  Have two more days to complete the therapy, even though I feel so much better.  Would tell anyone with a fever and infection to go along with Amoxicillin."


"I got nexplanon the first few days of June. At first, I HATED it and almost had it removed. I broke out horribly, had terrible mood swings and still spotted periodically. I gained about 10 pounds and was not happy with how my body was reacting to it. My doctor told me to wait it out and let my body adjust (since I had only had it for less than 2 months) and I am SO glad I waited. My skin is the clearest it's been, I haven't had a period since August, my mood swings have gotten SO much better and my weight gain stopped. I am so glad I stuck it out and highly recommend waiting 3-4 months before making a decision to have it removed. Hope this helps! :)"


"Hi.
I'm feeling terribly discouraged. I have 30 lbs to lose. I've been on Contrave for 9 days, and have actually blown up like a tick! (Not literally lol) but in the past few days, I've started to not be able to button my jeans, and these are my "fat jeans". I have zero side effects, other then very tired between 1-4 every day, since day 1, but I can put up with anything if I knew it was going to work. I really really am counting on this to work for me, and super scared that I'm going to find out that it won't, like everything else. "


"This medication is the only thing that works on my interstitial cystitis & pelvic floor dysfunction. I have lyme disease & all co infections & the guy that discovered lyme found it in bladders in all mice during research. Basically it is eating up my bladder. I have labor type pains in bladder & awful cramping with an urge to push like labor is. My new Dr thank god prescribed these to me & finally got a diagnose now wants me on these twice a day that is 60. I am on disability so it almost takes whole check. This medicine is a god send. Does anyone know if any insurance pays for it? or how to create a fund for it? There are coupons but still $630. i don't have to take everyday but most days."


"When first diagnosed another medication was prescribed.  I then researched Seroquel.  Being an insomniac I asked my PVC if I could try it. It made life so much easier.  I began to control my agitation with others. I used to fly off the handle and what I call "my crazy" would come out. If looks could kill I would be guilty of numerous killings. I am able to be in situations that are less than desirable without offending anyone.  It was a challenge being around others who were not as intelligent and immature whereas now I recognize how I should interact with them. My true personality is seen rather than the perception that followed me for the majority of my life."


"I just started Zirgan today for my 16 month son. Very frustrating that he was on viroptic for 3 weeks and steroid eye drop for 1 week but the infection came back. Hopefully this new drug will work, I don't want him to lose his vision. His been fighting this for over 1 month now. First time we find out we took him to the hospital he stayed there for 1 week with IV medications. His eyes is swollen,  red, very sensitive to light with watery discharge. I got a free sample from my doctor but seems that won't last long, even though I got the drop on his eyes was very difficult  to come out for been a gel and he is a baby keep moving what makes difficult to get the drop in without squeezing too much."


"So I've only been on the pill for a month and a week and its been good in comparison so the estrogen based birth control I was on previously because I have a sex drive and I'm not flipping out and acting crazy at all - but I keep getting what seems to be my period. I got my period two weeks into the pill and then I got my period again a week later then had a blood free week at the end of the pill pack but I'm coming close to the end of this next week and I'm bleeding again. Is this normal or should I see a doctor? Its really nerve wracking."


"Love this medication...started this medication end of June CD#4 was 250 just one month later it is 432. HIV copies in blood started out at 7000 and now one month later is 21. I have lots of energy ..eating healthy and staying active.I'm 52 .I've had no side effects."


"This is the first prescription I have taken for Narcolepsy. It has been 3-years now while taking 200mg's 3x a day. It turns out that naps are going to be a part of life. More particularly for the peak periods just to get over that tough time during the day. I would highly recommend letting your employer know about this condition. Narcolepsy is a handicap, of which you are protected. In other words, if you are caught sleeping on the job, they can not fire you for it. They need to make considerations for this condition and develop a work schedule that allows you ability to work a full shift. Provigil has worked well for me. I wouldn't want to go back to the way it used to be."


"I have been taking linzess for a few months now. I have diarrhea almost every day which most times leads to accidents. I went to my GI specialist and she suggested i take IB Gard to help with the diarrhea. I am tired of having diarrhea every day and not knowing when its gonna come. I go to work and I still have accidents at work it's embarrassing and disgusting. I have not have any help with bloating or stomach pain. I was on 145 of linzess but that didn't work very well so the doctor put me on 290 it just makes me feel miserable."


"I took Ella one 42 hours after having unprotected sex with my boyfriend, and have heard Ella is still very effective,  I have also took levonile before around 6 months before this mishap and everything was fine with that no nasty side effects in fact none at all, but Ella one is a different story, I have felt very ill for about a week of taking it! Day one after taking it I started bleeding which lasted for only four days this wasn't a problem, but the pill has made me feel so weak still do this day my whole body aches I have had constant severe floods of nausea and I'm constantly tired and my belly has been cramping as hell, I do regret taking the pill after the way I feel, and wish I got levonelle on the time frame needed."


"I started just yesterday. It's 36 hours later. I feel like 200 lbs lifted off me in the last 3 hours. I can move! I'd tried Remicade...had a terrible reaction/anaphylactic reaction and it did nothing for me. So far this is a miracle, I hope this continues."


"I have used this medication for over 5 years. I have taken the 4/240 dosage and seen my blood pressure remain in the 114-120 over 74-84 range with no side effects."


"Now my 10 years old son is on 5.5mg liquid of Dyanavel xr and it last 5 hours."


"I had lileta inserted Oct 2015 and  now 1 yr later. I'd say I do like this form of birthcontrol. The only things I hate is  the weight gain and acne I've always had some acne but now my skin is super oily so its gotten a bit worse. other than them 2 things I love this . My sex drive has gone up. hubby loves that."


"I was on Prednisone, 60 mg. for about 6 months after being diagnosed with AIH.  During that time I had many severe side effects but my liver enzyme numbers were coming down.  My physician switched me to 9 mg. Budesonide because of the side effects.  I had no more side effects and my liver enzymes continued to go down.  Now, I am off all steroids and my liver enzymes are in the low normal range using only Azathioprine.  I had one flare two years ago after surgery and a few months of Budesonide brought me right back where I needed to be.  I agree that the cost is outrageous."


"My doc prescribed this for after having colitis. It dulls the pain but for 2 months had the worst constipation (with Colace) and groin pain I ever had in my life. Went to 5 docs and had over $1500 in CT scans and ultrasounds for pain. Doc misled me and said take it 24hrs a day. After about 2 weeks of agonizing pain, I came off it on my own. NO PAIN! Be very CAREFUL."


"I have a bronchitis and the doctor prescribe me clarithromycin and im only at the second day of taking it bad nausea extreme bad taste in mouth severe gaz stomache discomfort and always need to pee im stopping this antibiotic right now and tomorow im gonna ask my doctor to change it the only thing i did find useful for the bad taste and it reduce it a bit is to chew excel gum but it dont last long hope next one is not gonna be that worst"


"I am diagnosed with acute anxiety, depression, panic attacks and post traumatic stress disorder. Klonopin is one of the medications I am on. I have noticed that it has helped keep my bad panic attacks down. It has helped to ease my mind and body. I still do get attacks, but not as frequently. This medication has helped me a lot and hopefully my medicines along with therapy I will someday be able to have a normal life. I try to remain hopeful."


"I've had nexplana for 7 months now, it's been working great. The only complain would be the bleeding. My period comes crazy and can last a whole month. I know other girls who have had it for a year and told me that their bleeding stopped completely. They said to wait it out and the bleeding will stop. So I'm hoping for the best. I took birth control pills to stop the break through bleeding and that worked."


"I have been on this pill for a year now and I noticed my skin is getting progressively worse. I never had bad skin before and now even on Proactive it's bad! I also have very dry eyes from the pill. My Doctor even put punctual plugs in my tear ducts and my eyes are still dry. I also noticed that it makes me sweat a lot more than I normally do."


"I love this pill. I just had a baby and I'm on month four of pills. This cleared up my acne significantly I haven't had a breakout since I started. No weight gain but this might be making it harder for me to lose my last 5 lbs of baby weight. I don't experience anything else. Just this last month my period came twice but they were both short."


"I was on the meds  2014 . I noticed black marks on My arms an legs unusual. I stopped taking it the marks went away. After suffering many traumatized events I went back on last year to find more random black marks on my body.  I'm not sure if it's working for depression.  I'm still sad most days. I also have constant headaches. mood swings. Still high pain levels.  Depression runs deep. I know I need something just scared to try the list.  SMH"


"I have been on Exforge 10/160 and a diuretic (water pill) medication for 3 months.  It has lowered my blood pressure a lot and I have had no side effects. The diuretic helps decrease swelling and reduce the build of fluid.  I think the two together make a great pair."


"Was prescribed for a tooth extraction and it worked great. Never felt pain and this is the only narcotic analgesic that doesn't make me feel nauseated."


"Geodon has been a life saver.  It took awhile to get the right dose and know when to take it (AM versus PM), but I am doing great now.  I take it in the evening and still have morning grogginess after several months.  My doctor prescribed Provigil which really helps (although costly).  I take the Geodon in conjunction with Lamictal.  I have less agitation and find (at least my family finds) that I am much less hostile than before.  Do be careful in the heat as I got very sick from overheating and follow instructions and do not drink alcohol.  One pina colada felt like a whole case of beer."


"I take this medication regularly for chronic yeast infections. I have a bad immune system as well as a stomach disorder. I never have any noticeable side effects. The first 12 or so hours are the worst while the yeast is being killed off. The itching gets extreme and I make sure I have nothing planned that day. Within 24hra the symptoms are minimal and I feel almost normal. It's my go to."


"I have used Prozac for premenstrual dysphoric disorder, anxiety, panic disorder and depression and it has helped a lot.  When I first started the drug, I lost 25 lbs, I think due to the fact that I felt better. My panic attacks were gone and I could actually feel the drug calming me down.  Prozac got rid of my PMS and PMDD completely. With Prozac I can even think more clearly and I am more alert and think quickly in stressful situations, instead of being stressed out and in a panic. The only side effects are that after I went back to the drug after being off of it for a while, the weight loss stopped and I had to watch that I did not gain weight.  Also, the sexual side effects, but aphrodisiacs help a lot."


"In a pretty critical situation after cataract surgery, this drug brought it totally in line.  Side effects for me were mild though annoying.  Of all of the side effects, a spacey feeling for about 10 minutes the first two times, and tingling fingers and toes. All in all worth it for short term treatment."


"This pill is overall good. It made me have perfect skin, lighter and shorter periods etc. It also made my breasts grow two sizes and they would be very tender a lot of the time. But the bad outweighed the good. I was very moody, when I was PMSing people couldn't be around me. It made me cry over everything. Also, I couldn't drink! Even after one shot, or a glass of wine I would feel very nauseous and immediately throw up. I didn't think it was the pill at first, I was on it for over a year, but then when I got off of the pill I was able to drink again normally and wouldn't throw up at all...so I had an alcohol intolerance because of the pill."


"The paragard has worked perfectly for me. I think much of the frustration I read about is the natural discomfort the body goes through adjusting to a foreign object. In some cases people's bodies reject it which seems like a pretty natural side effect to me. I had pain the first few weeks after insertion and  ibuprofen worked wonders during that time. I also experienced bad menstrual cramps the first 3 periods after insertion, my flow was heavier at first but mellowed out with time. I used to be on a 5 week cycle and now I'm on a 4 week one. I love my IUD I've had unprotected sex with long term partner and never had to worry. I still wear condoms with new sexual encounters because STDs are a real thing. But my IUD has been great for 3 years!"


"This does seem to take the edge off but it has been making me feel mega spaced out and lethargic. Almost like smoking pot. At least I'm too spacey too be cranky!"


"This pill is amazing. i just recently had nose surgury for the 3rd time due to breaking it playing football/boxing this time they had to go in and move the cartlige and befor they had me on Oxycodon and it helped out but now that they put me on percocet it has extremly been usefull. Its relived all my pain, helps me sleep and the side effects are not that bad."


"The only high blood pressure medicine that really helped, BUT due to the price going off the charts, and no insurance, I've had to take a different medicine and suffer with headaches."
