"I've been married for 35 years. After menopause, intercourse became impossible due to dryness and pain. I do not go to the doctor as often as I should, so I suffered for years, and tried to find "natural remedies" on my own to no avail. I finally gave in and went to a gynecologist. I was embarrassed to even tell him, but I knew I had to do something. He was familiar with the problem and put me on Estrace cream. Within days, I was a NEW person. Saved my life and my marriage. Excellent results and fast!"


"I've had multiple kidneys stones over the years and this was the first time I've used Flomax.  It seems to relieve the pain at least 40%."


"I've been taking Danazol for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) since Winstrol was discontinued. The medication works beautifully to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks, but the side effects are immediately evident (After my second dose, I remember telling my family that this drug is going to kill me before the HAE does).

Long term side effects have included: brain fog, severe memory problems, severe cognitive decline (especially in language processing), tiredness, weight gain (40 lbs., so far) and mild masculinization. I haven't had a period in more than 5 years. This cocktail of side effects has taken me from an aggressive and quick-tempered type A to a laid back, very relaxed couch potato. That's great for my family, but not so great for work."


"I was on Ritalin/Concerta since I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 6 (I am now 18). I switched to Strattera last September, and that was horrible, didn't do a thing for my ADHD.

I went back on Concerta, but noticed it wasn't working as well.

My psychiatrist switched me to Vyvanse 40mg in the morning, and I immediately noticed the benefits, 100% better than Concerta and 400000% better than Strattera.

Only side effects is lack of appetite but I am welcoming that side effect because I also suffer from binge eating disorder.

It helps my concentration immensely (I suffer with severe ADHD, to the point it's hard to have a conversation without zoning out and not listening).

Vyvanse is a life saver!"


"I've had this nexplanon for 2 1/2 years I loved it the first two years no periods no side effects everything was perfect. I don't know if it's because it's about to expire that I am now feeling all the side effects I'm sleepy all the time. I get massive headaches and I also get dizzy out of no where. I've also noticed that I don't have a sex drive anymore AND IT hurts after intercourse. I never thought it was possible but I did love it until now."


"I was switched to this after about 9 months of Mononessa. I didn't ask to switch it just happened. Anyways, I did not experience any side effects at all. My only small complaint is that my period doesn't start until mid-late Wednesday and it's just inconvenient because on Mononessa it start Monday night or Tuesday morning so I freak out a little bit over that. I do think it made my cramps less intense and my period lighter. It still lasts about 6 days although the last two days are almost nothing. I was afraid to switch but it wasn't bad so if you're in my shoes, think positively!"


"I started Copaxone 2 months after being diagnosed.  I was on the medicine for one month and loved the fact I wasn't experiencing any body aches, headaches and felt fine. HOWEVER, the site reactions over the course of the 2 weeks got worse.  I had hot, fiery red colored 5-6 inch welt reactions at sites, that became itchier after the 2nd week of injections. I wanted to cry because I was itching nonstop 24hrs a day. I stopped taking hot/warm showers which helped but I still itched 24hrs a day.  I developed rashes from my neck to my face. I stopped after 1 month. I would have liked to stay on Copaxone but rashes not located at the sites was a concern for the doctor and shared solutions team (the shared solutions team is great by the way!)."


"By far the most helpful medication for my acne scarring. I use it at night and use aczone during the day and they do wonders.  I have cystic acne, so to have tackled these kinds of scars needed some serious patience and care. I recommend this to anyone who struggles with this type of acne. I know how hard it is to get rid of those big red inflamed scars, and this definitely does the trick. You just need a lot of patience because it does take some time but you will see a difference within 1-2 weeks."


"I've had GAD and dysthymia my entire life. Wellbutrin worked wonders for depression but my anxiety has been horrible forever. My main symptoms are cold, sweaty hands and feet combined with a burning hot face, chest and trunk and a feeling of agitation. I have these symptoms every day and they do not seem to be triggered by outside events or thoughts. It feels like a chemical imbalance. No panic attacks. I started 5mg of buspirone 3x/day and noticed improvement IMMEDIATELY! It felt like a warm tingly sensation spreading through my veins and my temperature started to equalize. I feel much less anxious and less urge to pick my cuticles and lips. I feel calmer. I am getting headaches but hope they will stop soon."


"I have been on Seroquel XR for about 1 month.  I am happier and sleep better."


"Made me better"


"I took the pill 21hrs later, about $55 at Walgreens. These are the symptoms I experienced that may/may not be related to pill: fatigue, hormonal, severe chin breakouts, slight breast tenderness, stiffness in lower right hip. I got my period this morning, 2 days late. So yay it worked! "


"Have had MDD for almost 10 years. Lost my job, income, and basically trudging through life. Have taken Lamictal 300mg for years, and Dr. has tried combining with almost every antidepressant out there. Abilify worked great for about a month, my house was clean, lawn decent, and things sorted and organized. Then back to the usual. House a mess, repairs not done, bills not paid. Just wanted to sleep my life away. Started Fetzima at 20mg for 2 days, then have been on 40mg for almost 2 weeks. Feeling energetic and ready to be productive again! Only side effect so far is frequent urination. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!"


"I have suffered from migraines Since An Auto accident in 2009, sometime as many as 15 a month. I was prescribed Maxalt this past year (after trying a whole bag of other medicines). It has given me my life back... within thirty minutes after taking Maxalt the symptoms decrease by 50% and are gone within an hour. Several side effects, very drowsy and increased nausea but after several hours of sleep all is good."


"I am so grateful for this medication. I smoked a pack a day for over 20 years. The longest I went without a cigarette was 3 weeks. I tried the patch, the gum, and the electronic cigarette; nothing worked (though the patch was great for long flights).  My experience is a little different than most because I never had bad dreams (they've actually be better) since I started, I'm never nauseated (though I make sure I take the morning pill after breakfast and the evening pill after dinner), and I didn't stop smoking until month two (not week two). On week two, the number of cigarettes I was smoking dropped down to about five per day. And I didn't even notice I was cutting down. I highly recommend this to quit."


"I've been on this pill for about 4 months now and for the first three months I experienced a lot of nausea. I have not had sex while on it yet so I cannot speak to that, but I have not gained weight from it nor have I gotten more acne than I had before. I do recommend this pill because I have not had any other side effects besides for the nausea. This is also my first birth control. Hope this helps."


"I put some Orajel on my lip, as soon as I felt the cold sore coming on. It instantly numbed it and I can go on with my day without thinking about it."


"I have been using Nexavar for Hepatocellular Carcinoma for nearly a year, I did develop a skin rash but nothing too distressing. I had slight hair loss and thinning but its starting to grow back. I also developed mild colitis but have found Omeprazole helps really well. I also have insomnia but my doctor prescribed sleeping tablets which I use occasionally. Apart from occasional tumor pain I feel great, and I am on the maximum dose. The tumor has shrunk considerably and is now stable, my blood tests are normal."


"I started Saxenda with the dose of 0.6 on July 20 with 191 lbs my hight 5.1ft, 50 + yrs old, I never had nausea, once I had a light headache, I have less appetite and 0 creaving for sweet or salty food, now a week later I weigh 184 lbs, today I increased dose to 1.2 according to my Dr.' prescription, I am eating more protein, walking 30+ minutes and drinking more water. I feel Fantastic! "


"Most effective of any over the counter I have used before. This was a prescription given by my Dr."


"Taking this 4x a day for my second bout with Cellulitis. Also taking Ultram for pain."


"I noticed a change almost immediately in my energy levels, moods, and alertness. I would reccomend it to any of my family and friends."


"I'm on this birth control about 6 months. I gained about 14 lbs already and my weight keep growing. My diet is still healthy and low on carbs, my physical activity is normal. I didn't experience significant increase of appetite but I suspect it affects metabolism. My previous pill was ok I managed to lose some weight due to lower appetite but this one apparently not the same. I also had some unexpected minor bleeding in the middle of a cycle. My skin got slightly better and no mood swings but uncontrollable weight grow is scary."


"It allowed me to at least sleep better & I don't bruise as easy anymore...but it didn't relieve my swollen ankles, increase my energy, or start my hair to regrow."


"I was Beer dependant for 7 years,my consumption was getting to a carton every 2 days.I started Campral on the advise of my councillor,worked wonderfully.I found myself going whole afternoons without the thought of a beer,my life turned around.Then,after 2 months, I went to a new doctor for some bloods & general health check,my B/P was down,and although some damage through excessive drinking,all could be repaired.Then the kicker came,she told me Campral was a placebo.It changed my whole perspective and I started drinking again,just a 6 pack every night.I know this will get out of control quickly,I want to start Campral again,but I'm afraid the seed has been laid."


"I was on Peganone when I was  about 10 years old. I am 54 now.  At first I thought it was the best thing out there.  Had just changed from one medication to add Peganone to my routine instead of that one.  Then came the side effects.  I didn't notice them at first because I wasn't sure which side effects I was feeling.  The effects of going off the one, or on the other.  I loved it though through the horrible side effects, because it took my migraines away.  My mom told the doctor about the side effects, and he decided I needed to get off of Peganone and that it shouldn't be used by anyone not only because of the side effects but because even though he weaned me off as slowly as he could, I had LSD withdrawal symptoms for all 6 weeks!"


"Honestly, Implanon is the best Birth control. You will not get pregnant. It works. But the side effects I got were annoying and after a year I got it removed. I would be on my period for months at a time, I had A LOT of irregular bleeding, I was bleeding a lot. Even though I had a lot of bleeding, I stopped getting those super bad cramps I would get. And I did get acne...a lot of it. Everyone reacts differently to everything and my body reacted horribly to the Implanon. But at least it works and you don't have to worry about taking a pill everyday, patches, etc. "


"I have been on Victoza for 10 days. Was on 0.6 for a week and increased to 1.2 but was nauseous all the time and now at 0.9 will increase to 1 after a while. So far I have lost 5 pounds in 10 days. I am also making sure I eat only 1000 calories and healthy food. I did not do any exercise these 10 days but will start doing aerobics from next week. I  don't feel like eating any. Have burps most of the day."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This stuff wasn't too bad!  I had a hard time with the first dose as I'm not used to very sugary drinks and such.  Because of this, I did think it tasted quite gross.  It had a strange grape salty flavor but it was only 16 oz, so it wasn't too bad to get down.  I had absolutely no discomfort or nausea.  It worked very fast and I was completely clean for the colonoscopy - this was my first colonoscopy and after having read the awful reviews of the gallon jug prep, I went for this stuff."


"I would highly recommend lo lo . I have been on it only 3
Months and I'm very happy with the results. I was on depo provera for almost four years and left me with pre menopause symptoms and had to get off it. Tried three kinds of
Birth control and all made me gain weight and mood swings. I tried about 6 months no bc and the depo side effects made my life and sex life miserable. Consistent discharge and smell (sorry about the vulgar details) my sex life with my bf was a mess. I was prescribed lo lo and I have not had a problem since. I had my period the first month second month was a week late lasted 8 days by the third month no period and I am not pregnant yay. I'm 30 and has to b the best contraceptive I have ever taken!"


"I was unsuccessfully treated five years ago with pegasys interferon and ribavirin for Genotype 3a. I never recovered from the multiple side-effects, both physical and cognitive and emotional.

I am now on week 9 of the sovaldi/daklinza treatment combination. I took my first dose in the evening, and when I awoke and for the next three days felt unbelievably wonderful. Clarity of mind, natural optimism and energy returned to the level of my pre-treatment days. I was stoked!

However, this did not last and since those early days I have had muscle/joint aches, fatigue, a low mood, itchy face, unsatisfying sleep and severe neuropathy of the hands/feet (including during the day). I will update at end-of-treatment."


"I have taken this med twice in the past few years. Because of ECT I couldn't remember my prior experience but for some reason I was taken off it. I remember now. I experience crippling nausea and irritability. I makes me mean. Also within 15 minutes of taking it I'm so sick I have to lie down. I'm going to ask my psychiatrist to take me off it. I just can't function with so much nausea. :("


"I'm really waiting for the other shoe to drop with this medicine, because for me it has thus far been thoroughly life saving. I had been in pain every minute of every day, with some days being completely overwhelmed by the pain. Now I feel like I can live again. I just noticed that increased suicide risk was a potential side effect of Lyrica, which might concern me as I've suffered from major depressive disorder for >25 years. But being on this medicine has raised my mood a great deal because I don't have chronic pain to deal with on top of my baseline mood disorder. It is so wonderful. I'm waiting to hear that it causes something dreadful - because isn't that usually the case when something works so well."


"I suffered from mild/persistent acne, which only got worse when I started college due to the anxiety and stress. The break outs become more frequent as the years went by, so I decided to see a dermatologist. I was first prescribed a treatment of facial cleansers, which worked for awhile, but my acne eventually came back. Then my dermatologist decided to put me on on Claravis (accutane). The first 2 months were hell, due to the extremely dry/sensitive skin. I suffered cuts daily and shaving became torture, I almost quit on the treatment. However, I turned a corner around the start of month 3 and haven't looked back. My treatment lasted 5 months, and since ending it in October 2016 my skin has been completely clear."


"I have been taking this medicine for almost 3 months now and during this last month of the pills I have been spotting/light bleeding for a month. I took other pills before and it did not happen. I will be stopping this when I am done with this pack."


"I am 64 yrs old  I've suffered from constipation my entire life and have been on opiates for many years due to colo-rectal cancer treatments/surgeries. I've been using Relistor for 2 weeks and I have a bowel movement within 5 minutes. For me, I have 3-4 more within the following couple of hours. It has been a miracle for me. Life changing."


"I'm 50 yrs. old and just started phentermine 37.5 mg. 2-16-16.  It's just been 4 days and I've already lost 14lbs.   I'm 5'8 and started at 320lbs.  I wanna get down to 145 so I have a long weigh to go but so far.  Wow!  The only side effects so far is dizziness, jitters, constipation and, slight headaches.  All of that I can deal with because this pill is working so far.  Will update in a month or so... T.L.B. in GA"


"So, I feel like this did help stabilize me a little bit (with depressive states), but I ended up getting acne and redness all over my face. I also had my eyes feel all weird and twitchy. Overall, It was not super effective for me because I still had horrible anxiety and panic attacks and I could not titrate high enough to get effective coverage from the medication without weird side effects. I was only on 75mg maximum, mind you."


"I have a dual urinary tract system and as a result have had many urinary tract infections and kidney/bladder infections over the years with several operations. Ciprofloxacin has always been the medicine prescribed by my urologist and/or doctors. I would not use another medicine as this gives minimal side effects and my issues are rectified.  You must drink and continue to drink plenty of water."


"I had a severe upper respiratory infection that wasn't going away so the doctor prescribed 7 days of 1 mg prednisone and a dose of 7 days two times a day of a antibiotics don't remember the brand name.
I have Fibromyalgia and numerous bulging disks going all the way down my spine. By day 4 I felt fantastic... Normal
It was a real downer to go back to norm."


"I had the Mirena inserted yesterday. I am 35 and have a 18 year old son. Insertion was painful (for those mothers out there, it felt like a contraction) but only lasted a couple of minutes. I took 800 mg of Ibuprofen an hour before my appointment. I returned to work after. Had some uncomfortable cramps and used a heating pad at bed time. I was on my 4th day of my period and almost finished at the time of insertion. I had some bright colored additional bleeding. Today is day 2. Not only has the spotting stopped but my period is over. I have had some minimal cramping in my lower back today but, not enough to amount to anything. Haven't taken any ibuprofen. I feel pretty good. I am going to give it another few days before trying to have sex. So far, so good!"


"I have has chronic IBS with constipation forever. At one point, I thought I had an obstruction, but didn't.  I went to a gastroenterologist and she prescribed 8mcg of Amitiza twice per day. It worked pretty quickly, but then didn't seem to anymore. I had a lot of the side effects that other people mentioned including gas, bloating, and bad stomach pains. I now take two 24 mcgs per day and figured out that if I take one before bed and one an hour before I get up, I don't have major issues. I go every morning completely and feel great for the rest of the day. I hope this helps other people trying this medication."


"Most of the time the medicine works, a few days ago it didn't, at all touch the pain. It was so severe I thought I had a stroke. Left side of my body went numb. And I was in the E.R. For nine hours with an IV in and went through 4 two liter bags of magnesium and prescription strength migraine relief before it went away. I had a CT done and everything. It ended up being a severe complex migraine. So if the Excedrin is not working for you, call doctor ASAP to prevent this from happening. I couldn't talk, move very well, or was even really consciously aware of what was going on. It was so painful, and that kind of migraine mimics a stroke, so If you get nervous about a headache do NOT be afraid to call your doctor and see what you should do."


"Senna works best if taken every day,  I don't like taking pills every day, but I need to incorporate these into my life.  If I don't take them every single day I will get backed up.  I usually take 3 in the AM.  However, I didn't take them for 3 days, due to my stupidity.  Now I feel bloated and backed up.  Took 4 tonight and gurgling like  I don't know what  So nasty.  Why can't I get it thru my head to just take every day.   That is the key to Senna!!  My 2 cents worth!!"


"I was 23 years old when I gave birth to my daughter and decided I wanted to give Mirena a try as my next birth control. I have high hormone levels which makes regular birth control a nightmare due to the frequent migraines. So after exhuasting most birth control choices before my daughter's birth, Mirena was one of the last choices I had left. I've had it for over a year now (May, 2015) and I have no conplaints. I still get the slight cramping as if I am going to start my cycle but no blood and no major pain from it. It was a choice that really worked for me."


"I used Accutane in the Eighties so I guess I was one of the earliest patients. I was in my Twenties and while my acne as a teenager was moderate, when I was about 20 I started getting large cystic acne. After about 3 years of tetracycline daily (worked great) that stopped working and a dermatologist put me on Accutane.

    It worked great. There is risk with any drug but I would recommend it."


"Chronic Migraine sufferer, 2 to 3 a week.

Imitrex has been wonderful when I feel one coming on and

even when I have a full blown Migraine.

I am able to function normally within about a half hour."


"I have experienced outdoor/seasonal allergies all my life in fluctuating intensities. Sometimes I can can go without meds and then suddenly I'm so sneezy, itchy, watery, runny, and congested that I can hardly function. It's like a never-ending flu! So, I bought Flonase, fully aware that the relief wouldn't be instant. It took a day or 2 (literally) and I immediately had absolutely no congestion. I admit that I still sneeze and get a slight runny nose now and then but it was bearable compared to a Flonase-less reaction to pollen. The main con that I have a problem with is that I've been using Flonase for over a month and I have experienced absolutely no relief for my dry itchy (sometimes watery) eyes! Pros, my other symptoms are gone"


"Only day 2 of Zyban. But cigarettes taste like garbage truck juice and I have high hopes that I can quit. Will update when more time passes"


"Started with a cold, then the flu, then bronchitis and finally sinus infection- never felt so bad... deep wheezing and coughing up horrible stuff as well as same with nose- hate to take ANYTHING but didn't want to end up in hospital. By day 3- big difference and on day 5- felt great. The only thing that bothered me was day 6 now have vertigo- went back to the DR, said fluid in ears so hoping that goes away soon. Otherwise I read about the tummy ache so ate a bunch throughout the course and never got nausea or otherwise but do feel bloated!"


"I was desperate for something that would get me out of the dark abyss that is anxiety and depression, and get rid of the constant thoughts of suicide. I turned to Pristiq - it was new, and made out to be a miracle. And it was. I had no side effects when I started taking it. I was able to get back to work and perform better in school. Everything seemed great. I had my life back. Until, months later, I went my first day without it. The withdrawal symptoms were crippling. Paranoia, a pounding headache, vertigo, and sweating are just a few of the symptoms I experienced in my withdrawal.  The headache was so severe I could do nothing but lie down. I still take. Too difficult to quit. "


"Highly recommend it. I am 38 and have had acne since my teens. I have tried pretty much everything including topical, oral, BCP, Accutane. I have become quite sensitive to oral medications over the years and none of the topicals seemed to help anymore ie. retin a, benzoyl peroxide.  I saw a dermatologist recently who suggested Aczone for hormonal acne which is what I have and I was quite skeptical but to my surprise it really did help. After a couple of weeks I stopped having new break outs especially not the major cystic type acne that lasts for weeks and leaves scars. I have not had any side effects. If you have tried everything else this is worth a shot specially if you suffer from hormonal acne."


"There are many options for a teenager, young women or even an adult to chose for birth control, I chose the implant. I chose the implant because it was number one in from keeping a girl pregnant, don't receive your period, and it last three, even four years! There is also side effects to this type of birth control. The implant made me gain a little weight and it stings very bad when the guy ejaculates inside of you, but that's just the implant doing it's job. All in all, I recommend this birthcontrol!"


"It is a miracle pill! After saying that, you HAVE TO WANT TO QUIT! It does not take away the psychological aspect of smoking, just the need of the nicotine. Your going to want to smoke out of habit, you must learn to change the habits you had. Saying that, I'm amazed by Chantx!!! I have been smoke free for 3 weeks and will never look back:) Only side effect I suffered was nausea once, because I didn't eat! You must eat something when you take it. No dreams, no mood swings, no depression. I'm 100% satisfied and would recommend Chantix to anybody wanting to quit!!"


"I'm only on day three. I've actually been holding on to my pill bottle for over a month because I was afraid of the side affects based on other reviews. I still feel quite hungry throughout the day, but I seem to fill up easier than I normally do. I have experienced the "twilight zone" feeling for about 4 hours after taking it (at lunch time works best for me). Feeling a bit nauseated as well, and had some very mild stomach cramps this morning. My mood has been okay, maybe a tad cranky in the afternoon and sluggish by early evening. But my hopes are high that this will help me out. No weight loss yet."


"Okay so it has now been 8 days and I have lost 10 pounds. I have been making much better choices with my meal plans so this medication has worked better for me than phentermine. On 1/16/17 I weighed in at 181.00 and 1/24/17 @ 171.00. In the past 2-3 days I have experienced minor headaches and so ibuprofen 800mg took them away. Don't forget to eat about an hour before you do a cardio or weight workout. Yesterday, I ate only one full meal of steak and rice at 12:30PM and drank a few protein drinks (premier protein). After working out I tanned for 6 min then I went to the steam room for 15 min and 5 min in the sauna. After that I felt so nauseous that anything I could think of to eat made me want to throw up but this medicine really works.."


"I have been on Contrave for 4 months. And over the 4 month period I have lost 45lb with the help of the medication. I didn't change my exercise at all just my diet (low carb, high protein.. Contrave really helped me with this.  It really helps with the cravings and the binge eating... I will admit I was sick to my stomach off and on for about the first month but it has gone away and I do not have any side affects. I plan on staying on until I loose the last ten lbs until my goal. I also may stay on it after that to help keep my weight down. Not sure at this time. Im hoping my insurance will start covering the medication."


"I have chronic idiopathic pancreatitis, allodynia, gastroparesis & tarsal tunnel syndrome. I was also, just recently tested for Lupus. I was taking Norco (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) for a year until my new doc realized it was making my GI issues worse. We switched to Nucynta ER 150mg/BID & Nucynta IR 75mg for breakthrough. While they worked the first few months, I seem to be building a tolerance. I feel like the ER takes the edge off when my pain is between 4-5. But, both IR & ER cause EXCESSIVE sweating. I mean, there are days I have to change clothes multiple times daily. It's embarrassing. But, the Nucynta does not have any of the GI side effects (constipation namely) that other narcotics do."


"I got mine inserted November of 2013 and got it removed August of 2016. In terms of effectiveness, it was perfect. I checked my strings monthly and never had any pregnancy scares. The knowledge that I couldn't get pregnant was wonderful. I loved not having to worry about hormones, and I loved how easy it was on a day to day basis.

The side effects were rough. I got multiple Pelvic inflammatory diseases. My cervix was constantly sore and tender during sex. The first 8 months were bad in terms of cramping and random yeast and bacterial infections. There was a year where I was fine, and after that  I wound up getting it removed on the third year because I had 2 back to back boughts of PID during the summer. I wish there was a smaller option."


"I had unprotected sex. One hour after this happened I took this pill.  A couple of weeks following I had almost all the side effects it warned of, which were horrible, but I did NOT end up becoming pregnant!  Feeling under the weather for a little while is way better than becoming a mommy before you're ready!"


"Worst medicine ever. I gained nearly 50 pounds in four months. At first the medicine made me feel good even though I was gaining the weight fast. By the fourth month the pain was so intense it actually rivalled childbirth. I was not overeating and in fact I was working out more. I still cannot get the weight back off. If I could give this med a -10 I would."


"ONLY migraine medicine that ever worked for me, and with no side effects at all.  It would stop a developing migraine in its tracks!

Unfortunately, my new job does not offer insurance, and a prescription of Axert without insurance is close to $400.  Very upsetting.  But when that day comes, I will fill that prescription and no longer have 3 day migraines."


"Did not help with much pain maybe a slight bit and only for an hour at most made me break out and itch till i was bleeding"


"Extremely painful insertion. I have never had children.  My weight gain, bloating, and constant spotting is creating conflict in terms of my decision.  I am miserable with the weight gain and bloating.  I want it removed."


"I have had acne on and off for around 5 years now. I am a 22 year old male. I moved to Dubai and it got gradually worse over time. I started taking epiduo for around 8 weeks and it helped a little. I then came off it due to my skin my being pretty sensitive. My dermo prescribed me Tetralysal and Differin. Now the differin is very delicate on the skin in my opinion. I have taken for around 2 and a half weeks. I am currently going through the initial breakout and its bad. My general skin tone is tonnes better but we will have to see!"


"I have read nothing but horror stories. I wanted to share mine. I think this is the best thing ever. Why didn't I get this sooner? The insertion wasn't pleasant... but it wasn't horrible either. The local hurt like an internal bee sting but I was numb to the insertion of the Mirena. It was over in about 5 minutes. I had cramping after insertion but I took Motrin and it stopped within 15 minutes. I have had some extremely slight spotting.  I am now 1 week into it and its just such a no brainer. I have experienced no side effects. I forget its even there. I completely recommend this for everyone!"


Acetic acid / antipyrine / benzocaine / polycosanol

"My Mother kept this product in our home from the 1950s and on, and I did and continue to do so. Excellent product for earaches or plugged ears."


"I have severe chronic neck pain due to permanent spinal cord nerve damage.  I was given 20mgs twice a day and it didn't give me enough pain relief.  The doctor has increased the dose to 20mgs three times a day and the side effects are too much to handle.  My brain is foggy, I'm more anxious, dizzy, very lightheaded, I have a nagging headache that will not go away and I have an all around ill feeling.  I like the idea of a pain medicine that is timed release and spreads out over time but, this mediciation is not right for me.  I can't wait to get off of the oxycontin."


"I am 33, smoked since age 21. All the side effects you hear about are very real and for some like me are magnified a lot. I was able to quit smoking after just a few days of taking Chantix and had no desire to smoke at all. I had quit for 3 weeks so I decided to stop taking Chantix as the side effects were really starting to affect me. The nausea, constipation, tired/groggy and disconnected at work and home, getting mad at the smallest things and yes even suicidal thoughts. I had to stop taking this medicine. I am now quitting smoking cold turkey. "


"Last July I had a full head of hair.  Like I always have . And then one fine day in October my hair started falling out.
At first it was just a little . I had developed a spot on the crown of my head that I didn't even notice .
Until someone pointed it out.
At first I didn't think anything of it.
I thought early onset of male pattern baldness. That's what I went on believing until I noticed my hair falling out in handfulls in the shower. I got an appointment with a dermatologist and was told
it was alopecia areata
He gave me topical solution that didn't help hardly any instead I got kenalog injections in my scalp
After 3 months I had significant regrowth all over my head here I am gaining more hair every day And hair loss has almost stopped"


"I wish I could rate this a 0. What a waste of money and a HORRIBLE experience. I would rather have a yeast infection for the rest of my life than spend 3 days going through this. How is this still on the market? I know there are women working for this company who have used this product- why haven't you gone to your superiors and said "this stuff sucks." Every box as well as the developers and people who work for monistat should be set on fire so they know what this feels like. There is nothing "mild" about this itching or burning. It's severe. I can't hold stillAll I want to do is scratch. I hate monistat!!"


"I've had the Nexplanon implant in for 7 weeks and within 2 days of having it in I started to experience extreme anxiety to the point of experiencing horrific panic attack's each day! Now I'm usually a very chilled out person but this implant has completely changed my personality, My doctor has agreed that the implant has obviously caused this and to take it out in 3 weeks time ( earliest they can fit me in) but I'm not waiting that long and have an appointment to get it out at a different clinic tomorrow and I can't wait to get back to myself! If I wasn't experiencing the anxiety I would give it a rating of 10 as my periods are only a bit of light spotting and I have no pain but the panic attacks are a no go for me!!"


"I've tried other BCP before this one and they made me more emotional than this one. I would be hysterical and with aubra i felt more like myself. It definitely had its cons, but the fact that it didn't give me emotional panic attacks like my previous bcps, it wins. I really like this one.

Pros: For me, less emotional and lighter periods. Effective in preventing  pregnancy.

Cons: Nausea, I was told to take my pills at night for this reason. And most nights I don't feel this symptom. Less sex drive."


"I was given Remeron for depression, although my diagnosis remains mood disorder, I was given Abilify as well because I have some psychotic symptoms and bipolar runs in the family. Remeron does not help with my sleep which is disappointing.  I still have trouble with my self-esteem but I have noticed improvements in my attitude. I can control anxiety much better and feel more relaxed going about my day. I have only been taking it for 3 weeks. I wish I felt better about myself but maybe medicines are not the help I need for that."


"Best ever for getting rid of pain."


"I recently was switched to Gianvi, after trying at least four other birth controls to try an control my acne. I do not have severe acne but everything I was trying did not work. The dermatologist prescribed creams, oral medications etc. and I was still having breakouts. I've been on this birth control for almost a month and ever since I started taking it, I haven't had one breakout. My face has been as clear as ever. Different things work for different people but I would recommend this birth control to anyone struggling with acne."


"I just want to say that this medication is a God Send. The 24 hour waiting period before was pure hell but I needed that to remember the pain that I had caused myself. This has truly been a turning point in my life. Thanks"


"I'm 32yrs old and have been a dancer for 16 years. I was diagnosed with degenerated disc disease 8 years ago and was put on Lortab 7.5mg 4 times a day then about 3yrs ago I had a very bad slip and fall and that caused 2 bulged discs in my neck. I also have mild scoliosis and moderate arthritis. I would not be able to have the physical profession that I do without oxycodone. I've been taking 180mg a day for 3 years. This medicine has been able to keep me living a productive life! I'm so happy I have read all these posts.. Thanks to all of you!"


"i have this condition on my hands (palms) and feet (heels). I use halobetasol one day then use Dovonex then next. Halobetasol 3 days and Dovonex 4 days of the week.  Using these are the only things ever prescribed that has given my any relief!! It does not go away but slows the blisters and cracking."


"I would give this a minus rating (-100). I compare my experience with the paragard to a medieval torture device , it bought me to my knees no women deserves the horrors of the paragard , yes I may be in the minority for those of us that find it can cause copper toxicity. I  wish I had been informed of this because it truly is horrendous how it randomly picks it victims. This device truly has the power to completely shatter your world and make you loose your smile . please avoid"


"It's and exceptional ,very good gel. Having back pain for several months, tried all types of medicine, could not relief.as I tried this voltadol forte all the pain dissappear,  thanks"


"I switched to Nuvaring because my weight gain with the pill was excessive. When I switched the side effects were fine, the only difference was I had headaches more often but it did help my weight problems. I felt better and had less water weight. HOWEVER, I wouldn't suggest this for someone who has sex often. The doctors told me I could keep it in and you won't feel it and it won't be a problem. Every time I had sex it hurt and my partner could feel it also. So I began taking it out each time, which was a pain. I was always worried I would forget to put it back in and I ended up having to switch back to the pill."


"This medicine really helped, thanks Dr.K."


"Xanax is the "devil drug". I have taken it for over 15 years and it has done nothing but make things worse. For those of you saying it's a miracle drug, please do your research!!! It ruins your brain chemistry and Is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE.(I can't stress that enough) For those who have been taking the drug for over a couple of months, your gonna have horrible withdrawal symptoms when you decide to stop. Benzodiazepines are the ONLY drug that you can actually die coming off of! Trust me!!"


"I took Ella when having protected sex, but the condom broke. I took it the day after. The next day I did not sleep (my mind was running wild), I had hot flashes and I felt nausea. The next day I felt dead tired and I could not properly function at work. The third day, the same story; not being able to concentrate, hot flashes, emotional changes etc. And then my period came 4 days early. I say Ella does it's work (you can actually notice it doing its work a couple of hours after you took it), but I am never taking it again (now wanting to use the nuvaring) because of the bad side effects. If you really have a problem it does it's job! Feels more like an abortion pill though."


"I rated this medication once before, I felt a need to update my review. I've taken Saphris since '13 @ 30 mg. Nightly and over the past 5 months I've slowly tapered down to 10 mg. With high hopes of discontinuing. Saphris got me out of a bad spot, I remember being horrified of answering the door let alone leaving the house I was so delusional. I got out of that spot, SLOWLY got on my feet and SOME WHAT rejoined society. My positive manic spirit is gone, I'm always tired & feel like life goes on around me, not with me. Its very hard to discontinue, I have panic attacks daily now and am beyond stressed. I feel like I'm trapped, no worse--or better--on or off after all these years."


"Ok this is my third review in just less than a year. Here are the pros:

weight loss (16 pounds lost), eliminated my anxiety issues, no more Klonopin, very calm, cool and collected attitude, improved vision and I feel great! I can give presentations in front of many people without hesitation or anxiety buildup.

Now for the cons: Be careful drinking alcohol after taking your daily dose. I have experienced severe impairment after just a few drinks that I normally handle with ease. Usually it happens if I forget to take my dose in the morning and take it after work instead. If I don't give it time to metabolize in my system and drink on it, 2 beers can feel like 6. Be mindful of that and do not operate machinery/cars."


"It gave me an allergic reaction , swelling , hives tight chest and wheezing"


"Went on Uloric about 2 years ago, cleared gout up quickly but after 6 months quit due to cost. Have found that Gout attacks are too much to handle so have gone back on Uloric.  But have found that in Mexico you can buy the same drug for $30 per month.  Thanks US healthcare."


"I have been taking Cellcept or Mofetil for I think 10 years.  I take no Prednesone or Mestinone.  I am nearly symptom free.  After I had taken Cellcept for about a year.  I thought I was cured and quit taking the drug.  A few months I crashed.  It took 6 months to recover.  I find Cellcept or generic far more preferable than Prednisone.  Prednisone makes me crazy and can't sleep.  Cellcept takes a while to work. That is  I think because it has to get into the marrow of the bones where the B cells make the antibodies that attack neurotransmitters.

I am extremely upset that medicare is trying to take this away.  They just sent me a letter denying coverage.  A crash from this drug nearly put me in the hospital. The drug studies appear stupid"


"I've been on entresto for two months and my heart has become extremely worse.  My kidney has also deteriorated rapidly. I've lost a lot of weight,  decreased appetite and decreased energy . I'm not going to say this medication is garbage because I'm sure for others it may have helped them but for me it has not.  My doctor has taken me off of entresto today and I have to go back on my old medication in 36 hours. I'm hoping life goes back to normal before I started the use of this medication."


"I took this for about 5 months and didn't hate it until the last month or two, but by then I really, really hated it. My shin was pretty clear and my breasts grew two cup sizes, which was nice. However, they hurt constantly and were always sore. I always felt bloated and gained 5 pounds the first week, and another 8 pounds over the next couple months, The weight was IMPOSSIBLE to lose, and as someone who has struggled with eating disorders it was extremely disheartening. The worst part, however, was a complete and total loss of interest in sex. It was really damaging my relationship, to which sex has been a really huge part. The sex drive wasn't hugely affected until the end of my use of trinessa but it was a very intense drop off."


"I started using this about 5 weeks ago.  I noticed the difference in the way I felt within a day or two.  I was able to focus and concentrate again!  I've gotten even better as the weeks have gone by.  I was still feeling very tired after three weeks so my Doctor added Wellbutrin with the Zoloft and now I feel great!  Zoloft works...in some cases you may need an additional medicine, not always."


"I have a lot of GI, p"


"I use Voltaren gel for my arthritis. However, I also have fibromyalgia and use it where I have the most pain, primarily the nerve "bundles" in my neck and upper back. I have a pain in my shin that wakes me up at night, and have rubbed Voltaren on that area and it gives me 100% relief. I've also rubbed it on my jaw in an area where I have a back tooth that is inflamed. And it also relieves the pain. I am so happy with this medication...thank you Novartis."


"I took plan b in December of 2016, I was lucky I didn't end up pregnant. I had just finished my period before intercourse. The condom broke, being my age this was the scariest thing ever. My boyfriend went to the near by pharmacy the next morning. A whole 11 hours later. In the whole week I took two plan b. Bad move but it calmed my nerves. Throughout the whole week I experienced headaches, some depression, cramps, and changed eating habits. I couldn't eat, focus on college work, talk to anyone. All I did was cry and stress myself out. Any girls who are my age going through this remember I was in your place and it worked for me. Reading the positive comments about plan b helped me tremendously. Just remember to stay calm, it's gonna be okay. :)"


"Was prescribed this for URI/Sinus infection.  Took a total of 2.5 days then experienced extreme anxiety but not the 'heart pounding out of your chest, can't breathe, think I'm going to die' kind of anxiety, but the I'M LOSING MY MIND, CAN'T TELL REALITY FROM REALITY, WANT TO CURL UP IN CORNER & DIE kind of anxiety.  Went to ER, given shot to calm me down.  TERRIBLE medicine, side effect, you couldn't pay me to take again."


"As the young lady above stated, it does seem to help but when it wears off I feel so tired and worn out.  Also, I too, have the hot and cold sensations."


"I went from 800 mg of Neurontin a day, with its zombie-like side effects, to 100 mg of Lyrica with no side effects and more effective that Neurontin."


"Switched from Yasmin to Tri-Sprintec (third type of pill I've tried) and I had an awful experience. I barely gave it a month before calling my doc to switch to a new pill-my body reacted terribly to it. Experienced persistent itching rash (mild allergic reaction), extreme vaginal dryness, fatigue, weight gain, and mild acne (where it used to be controlled on my other pills). "


"Started low dose of 0.25mg and it has changed my life! Only take lowest dose needed and work with a therapist because medicine doesn't do all the work..YOU have to as well."


"I will update after I've been on longer, but I basically feel stoned, very hard time sleeping, feel like I was hit by a truck and my teeth HURT. Mentally I feel no difference, but do feel more friendly. Thankful I have insurance because it's $1200 for a month supply."


"Me and my girlfriend had sex and the condom broke. We went to get Plan B 7 hours later and her period came 5 days early. Don't worry, I know the wait is bad but it will come eventually. Try to worry less and everything will be alright!"


"I'm 28 and was just diagnosed with Schizophrenia about a month ago. I was given Saphris, this is my first antipsychotic medication and it makes me immensely drowsy after 10 minutes. It slowed down the racing thoughts and negative ideas in my head in order to set aside my wants and needs and socially accept what is happening around me and what I need to do. Only down side so far is the intense drowsiness and that gnawing restless sleep feeling when I tried to go to sleep before my regular sleeping schedule. I can't remember falling asleep at all due to the tossing and turning. I do recommend taking it when you're 100% positive your going to sleep and not a moment sooner. Woke up calm and well rested. DAY 1."


"I have been on Wellbutrin for about a week and have already noticed a significant difference in my study abilities. I was able to actually sit down and actively study tonight for 4 hours and I have not been able to do that for years! I took Ritalin when I was in high school, but stopped taking it when I had a complete nervous breakdown. My doctor started me on 150mg twice daily and I tell you what, I feel like me again! Bright, alert, I have energy, and completely at ease and happy. Thank you Wellbutrin for giving me myself back again."


"I have been taking Norvasc for probably 30 years.  The first 20, the drug worked to lower my blood pressure well.  In the last ten years, I've been plagued with scorching legs.  It has literally ruined my life.  Doctors never even had a clue and I never thought it was Norvasc that was hurting me until I had trouble a week ago getting the prescription filled I was out of for 4 days.  On the 4th day without taking it, my legs were feeling pretty good.  I got my prescription refilled took the pill and the next day, I was back to debilitating pain.  I haven't taken it since.  I am now feeling pressure in my head as I've always been prone to migraine headaches.  I never got one after I started taking Norvasc.  I think I'll take the migraines."


"All I can say is thank goodness I still have my childbirth recovery kit from a year ago because you are gonna need it for this stuff! I used monistat 7 in past and don't recall having any issues with it before but this time is the most irritating, itching pain I have ever experienced I am crawling out of my skin right now. This is the first dose I've used so far. I've got cortisone cream, numbing spray and ice pack on board and still having trouble relaxing.. Pretty sick joke to start this "at bedtime"..."


"I work at an OB/GYN office and take care of all the Makena referrals!!! This company is so SLOW!! the FDA really screwed up when they took Compounded 17OHP off the market!!!!  Its takes at least 6 weeks from start to finish to complete this process.  Multiple phone calls to Makena, Specialty Pharm, Patient's insurance, and the patient take place during this time along with MULTIPLE faxes and notes in the chart.  It's to the point where our office needs to hire someone to just do this all day.  Makena  needs to be given started at 16 weeks, but it is well after 22 weeks before our patients are getting injections, by this time most of our patients have already delivered their previous babies...which was not a good outcome."


"I had a throat infections with white dots and puss at the back of my throat. It was even hard to swallow my own saliva. I went to after hours and was prescribed this drug. After 5 days, I noticed improvement. It wasn't as painful anymore. So it did work. I was to take this medication for 10 days, but on the 8th day I was experiencing side effects such as hives all over my cheeks and chest. As well, as swelling underneath my tongue."


"I'm currently on 2 mg TID (3 times a day). I was a 2 on a scale of 1-10 before I found Klonopin. It has helped me get up to a 7. I also take Paxil. Find a good psychiatrist or doctor who understand that people with anxiety need anti-anxiety medication (benzodiazepines). If you take as prescribed, you will see way more positive than negative."


"I was on Xanax for a couple of years for severe panic attacks. I started out on .25 mg and soon that was not enough. I had to keep increasing the dose as my panic and anxiety increased. I ended up becoming agoraphobic. I could not leave my house without taking a handful of Xanax first. In the end, I was taking way , way, way too much enough to kill an elephant. I know it sounds hard to believe. It's amazing I am still alive. I had to beg my insurance company to put me in the hospital to detox. I tried to kill myself. I almost died while in the hospital. They took me down to 8 mg a day and I had a grand mal seizure and almost died. It was the most horrible experience of my life. Be careful. It's highly addicting."


"I went to a very expensive weight loss clinic.  I followed a strict eating plan while I took the medicine.  I'm over 50 and nothing has worked for me for the last 8 years.  It was because of the Adipex.  I lost 25 lbs in 12 weeks.  I have been maintaining for 5 weeks now.  I still follow the strict eating plan, but not being on the medicine, I'm not losing weight.  I wanted to make sure I could maintain the loss.  I'm going to my PCP later this month and am going to do another round and lose the final 10-15 lbs that I need to lose. This medicine just "shuts your mouth", that's the best way to describe it.  It does give you energy, it focuses your mind.  I was worried about how I would feel after stopping, I weaned for about 5 days with a half pill."


"I have a bad back and find that this medication is very helpful when it comes to pain.  Oxycodone is the only one that works for the pain. It can cause itching but the painfree part makes it worth it."


"I was on the pill for about 2 years and it became so hard keeping track if I had taken it or not. I had always heard great things about the Nuvaring do I decided to try it. My favorite thing is knowing that its just there and I don't have to take it everyday. On the other hand I have broken out what feels like everywhere, I've never had a problem with acne before. Also the day after I put it in I started getting really bad headaches and I felt upset. I thought I was just stressed so I kept the ring in. It continued to get worse and it got to the point that if someone even walked by me I would get angry. Yes birth control is different for everyone but I took it out two days ago and I already feel so much better!"


"After weeks of debating (and severe stomach pain/constipation/nausea caused by a mild case of gastroparesis), I finally decided to take Reglan. I was scared like the rest of you. But guess what? I'm still here and it's been about two weeks. It has helped me IMMENSELY. I'm pushing 29, so maybe I'm still in the "safe zone." I know there is a threat to older women, but if I had not taken Reglan, I'd still be the vegetable that I was, living off of noodles and potatoes. Thankfully, I have very close friends and family in the medical field and they assured me that the chances of the terrible side effects weren't as high as they may seem on the internet. It is a medicine prescribed daily and many people are pleased. (5mg 3x daily) Good luck!!"


"The drug is very effective. The only problems I have had are low blood sugar levels while working in hot environments. In Saudi in the spring and summer months I would constantly go low while working in the heat."


"I got the shot, the second one hurt the most. The pain in my arm only lasted maybe 2 hours at the most. When I got the last shot the nurse injected it into the joint of my shoulder, which hurt for a lot longer but that was the nurses fault, not the Gardasil. I had no side effects. I believe getting the vaccination was a smart thing to do and was worth it."


"I told my doctor I read all the horror stories and I was so nervous, she told me to NEVER do that. She said she doesn't know what kind of doctor a lot of people go to but she has never ever witnessed anything like these posts say in her 12 years being a obgyn. Anyways.. I went in extremely nervous and really wanting to run out of there and never come back but once it was time she walked me through every little thing she did. Not gonna lie, my fists were clenched as tight as I could because it did hurt! But nothing that I couldn't handle. Pain is pain. Finally done & I had some bad cramps for the rest of the night so I took some ibuprofen and snuggled on my couch it's been two days and I have no pains! I'm so happy I chose skyla!!!!"


"I hate this pill due to all the horrible side effects I experienced. I had unprotected sex with my husband when we got married on May 28th. My period happened the week prior to us having sex. I took the pill a few hours after we had sex. Everything was fine up until two weeks after I consumed the pill. I was feeling: sore tender breast that I couldn't even wear a bra since it hurt so much, horrible cramps, I was bloated like a cow I had to take organic teas to help me, horrible headaches, mood swings, dizziness and nausea. I had no period for the month of June and I started to worry. Today is July 11th and I JUST STARTED MY PERIOD! PRAISE THE LORD! Pill works, horrible side effects. 6 week late period."


"After my doctor found "bad" polyps during a routine colonoscopy one year ago, I have to go thru the procedure again (tomorrow).  I took the magnesium citrate at 11:00 am and exactly three hours later, it started working.  After reading all of the previous reviews, it seems that it works for everyone differently - some rather quickly and others like myself several hours later. Drink lots of water with it to stay hydrated and walk around your house to get your system moving."


"I have suffered from a very severe anxiety and panic disorder all of my life.  I was given Xanax about a year ago because the medications I was taking were not working.  I started taking the Xanax which did take care of the panic attacks for the most part.  But what I did not realize is that though I was taking the dosage that the doctor had prescribed to me I was blacking out and getting very violent or I would be asleep my eyes would open I would punch my boyfriend in the face and try to choke him then go back to sleep like nothing even happened.  The morning after these events he would wake up on the couch and tell me what I had done.  I did not remember doing any of this.  It was terrifying."


"Great medicine, it's the only one that stops the agitation that comes with being too manic for too long. It keeps me from crashing after mania because the mania never peeks. I would have given it a 10, but sometimes a little coffee can make me get manic even though I have taken the medicine."


"The morphine sulfate has been the best of all the trials my doc and I went through. Found out 7 years ago got massive damage from degenerative disc disease, stenosis and arthritis. After surgery and loosing 160 lbs the pain was just as bad or worse, so off to the pain management route my doc and I go.  I must say that I am extremely fortunate to have a doc that is not afraid to help me. She and I have a great relationship.  Mind you, I do my part, all clean drug tests, no early visits and follow the directives. I have a pain contract with her that I honor as well. We have been on 80mgOC/4 day, fentanyl 100mcg/48hrs. and everything in between. The morphine is what I have been on the longest and has by far worked the best. Been on it for 4 years. Pain Sucks.."


"Just starting month 3 on Xenical. My BMI has dropped below 30, so no longer obese. Still a way to go, but over a stone gone & kept off. Feel so much better. Sleeping better, eating better & jogging (never jogged in my life!). Looking forward to my next weigh in, in Sept."


"Was on the lowest dose for twelve days and experienced chest pains shortness of breath. Sore boobs early period and muscle weakness..... This drug is great for certain people but if you are borderline hypo like I am I would watch your symptoms closely. Everyone is different though."


"Zoloft worked AWESOME for my extreme anxiety and major depression. It worked for many years but eventually (as all good things do), it stopped working as well and once my dosage couldn't go any higher, I had to start the whole process of finding the right medication and the right "cocktail" for me. Again, I'd like to reiterate that Zoloft SAVED MY LIFE for MANY YEARS and only had to stop talking bc after about 7-10 years I guess my body didn't continue to respond like it used to."


"Campral will make a person to quit smoking. It made me quit after 33 years.  Tell the world CAMPRAL is also a non-smoking pill."


"I was very excited to get this put in because many other women had great results with it.  Unfortunately, this was not a good fit for me. At first it was great, I wasn't having a period (for about 3 months), I did have occasional spotting but it didn't bother me.  Then after a few months it was getting progressively worse.  I started having my periods closer and closer together until they just didn't stop.  I constantly feel tired, to the point where I do not want to get out of bed, I have no energy to do anything and I want to eat everything. I have lost a few pounds since starting this, but my weight does fluctuate so I am not sure if it is the birth control.  My friends have noticed a difference in my mood also."


"I got nexplanon inserted in Feb 2015, at first I didn't have any problems with it. I was spotting unexpectedly but I didn't really find that a huge issue. Now we are in November; 9 months later and I hate my life. I am always upset, angry, depressed, bitchy, unhappy etc.. Everything bothers me. I have put some weight on but I'm not sure if its the lack of exercise or the birth control. I am always tired, I have a toddler which can explain the exhaustion but even if I get a good night sleep, I am always sleepy and tired and don't want to do anything. THE WORST side effect thus far has been my sex drive. its on the floor.Its ruining my relationship and my life. This nexplanon is a devil from the grips of dante's inferno."


"I am so happy to see positive comments about Mirena. I have spent hours researching and only seen the negative stuff. I had mine placed last week, and yes it was painful but taking Motrin ahead of time definitely helped the process. I have had some spotting but nothing concerning and my partner has no complaints of feeling the strings. I have spoken to several people who have had Mirena placed and they say to hang in there, after the first couple of weeks they loved it."


"I started taking this medication and within a few hours my back pain was considerably better and I have been suffering with back pain for 14 years and this is the best I have felt in a long time."


"Addyi started to work at about the third week of taking it but that only lasted for about a week. I was told it works like an anti depressant and could take up to six weeks to work. I kept taking it, even though my blood pressure dropped.  Half way through the third month of taking it I stopped because it was doing nothing at that point and I didn't want to spend the $150.00 every month. After I stopped taking it I developed cysts in my left breast and had to have them surgically removed. Very disappointed"


"Suffering for over 2 months with Sciatic Nerve and Hamstring pain, using Advil 400 mg per 8 hours, which just wasn't completely relieving the pain. A bottle of Absorbine (not Jr.), produced in 2000 was in the medicine cabinet and contains capsaicin, along with herbals and other ingredients.  After application, the pain almost immediately was reduced from 10 to about 7 (still taking Advil).

But about the 4th application of the Absorbine described above, noticed pain subsided for a longer period.  Now we are unable to locate Absorbine with like ingredients.  Found a creme called Capzicin and it seems to being working satisfactorily (2 times a day), along with the 400 mg Advil (taken every 8 hrs.)."


"I have been on gabapentin for two weeks now. I'm on 300mg three times a day. It took about a few days for it to start working. But I have to say that this med works! If I do not take it or if I'm getting close to my next dose. I start to feel depressed. I love taking this. It really does help for headache pain, and mood. I got this for depression. Because i do suffer from depression and anxiety a lot. It seems to help with the depression but not anxiety. If anything it makes me more happier. More calmer and more relaxed. I have gotten dependent on this drug for my mood. It doesn't make me sleepy at all. My body has gotten use to taking it. I don't see myself getting off of this. I enjoy being relaxed and feeling calm."


"Although this drug has left me with an underactive thyroid I would totally recommend it. I have not been this stable in the last 10 years of treatment with other drugs. Mania and large mood swings are no longer blighting my life."


"I have been on 3 different birth control pills in the past with 0 side effects from any of them. I trusted CVS when they switched my brand again to this one and didn't look up any reviews until now. After taking it for almost 2 weeks I have been extremely emotional and depressed. I've never had issues with depression before but this pill made me an emotional wreck. Every moment has been spent fighting back tears. I've also never had problems with my skin (maybe 1 pimple every month) and I now have 4 pimples on my face and some on my body and back. This birth control is the worst pill I have ever taken. Every person is obviously different in how they react but it's not worth the risk!!"


"Was prescribed Bactrim by a walk in clinic. Shoulda known better. After 2 days, I experienced some awful side affects - chills, fevers, night sweats, insomnia, diarrhea, and migraines - for three days. I thought I was going to die. After I finished my prescription, I got this terrible head to toe rash that itches like crazy. My UTI is gone but it was not worth the rash and three days of near death. Does anyone know what I can do for this rash?"


"I started taking Minastrin in November after Loestrin was discontinued, I was told it was the same pill just a different name (I disagree). Like Loestrin I take Minastrin every morning at 8 a.m. I have been taking Minastrin now for almost a year. I find I have cramps all the time, I get mad very easily, no sex drive whatsoever. I'm not sure if this is related but I get hot and sweat very easy now. I have gained a good bit of weight in my thighs and lower stomach, again not sure if that is related to Minastrin. When I go for my yearly exam I will be looking at switching."

"I have been on Seasonique for about a year now, and I have found that it does have some side affects (mild nausea during first week of first cycle and mild headaches here and there), but I have also found that with Seasonique my previously horrid cramps have almost disappeared, my complexion is better then it's ever been and that I really, really enjoy only having a light period every 3 months."


"I was taking this antibiotic for three days.during the night of the second day, I could not sleep for the pain.....on the third day, I felt swelling and puffIness in my elbows and hips.... I do not recommend this product.....

I just hope that I do not continue to have joint pain....I quit taking after the third day...."


"I'm Classic IBS - C. Haven't had a normal bowel movement in years. I have tried everything and have seen leading specialists in Los Angeles. I've tried soluble fiber, gluten free, FODMAPS, stool softeners, drugs such as bentyl, desipramine...nothing works. A leading specialist at UCLA prescribed Linzess. I started with the 145mg dose - nada - then went to 290 and it was a storm!!! The first time I took it I thought I would have to go to the ER I was so sick. After a taking it for a few months the pain got less, but it still gives me explosive, violent diarrhea that can last up to 3 to 4 hours. I take it about twice a week, it's the lesser of two evils theory. I take it at bed time and if I'm lucky I wake around 4 am and go until about 7."


"I got diagnosed after numerous tests.  I researched it and new I had Multiple Sclerosis, but Neuro just had to keep doing tests for months.  I would get double vision about once a month and my stomach and left leg would go numb a lot.  Finally was diagnosed and got on Copaxone and zero flare ups for 4 years. I also take multivitamin and 8000 IU of vitamin D per day. Get on Copaxone and take vitamin D if you get diagnosed."


"This drug has changed my life I went from smoking six years straight to none at all I'm 21 years old and quiting was very hard to do cold turkey but with chantex I was able to completely stop one week after I started want to thank chantex for changing my life"


"I have mild rosacea but experienced ocular rosacea/blepharitis for the first time a year ago. The ophthalmologist told me that it was chronic and prescribed all sorts of things that didn't work. Months later I saw a new dermatologist. She prescribed oracea, which put me out of my misery. The skin on and under my eyes had become dry and sore from doing hot compresses four times a day. It is a pity that the pharmaceutical company price it so high that most cannot get relief, seems awfully greedy to me!"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"Picked up a nasty H Pylori strain from an casual blind date, I know I should have gotten to know the person better. Took a while before symptoms showed up. Had severe upset stomach, occasional diarrhea, nausea and slow but steady weight loss. Took a long time and several doctors to diagnose my steadily worsening condition. Tried PrevPak first, seemed to work at first but  my infection came back. The new GI then prescribed Pylera after my 3rd endoscopy. Pylera has worked, it's been a year and I am still H Pylera negative. But it's been brutal and a very hard long road back to recovery. Had severe side effects from tetracycline (in Pylera), my skeletal bones seemed to have absorbed it. Am still not completely detoxed, steadily improving."


"I use Halcion. It will help for falling a sleep. It works great for me. I don't have the drowzieness when wake up in the morning."


"Great for Lupus."


"My experience with Skyla has had its ups and downs. Insertion was not nearly as bad as what I read online. It might have lasted 15-30 minutes all together. I was not nauseated or lightheaded afterwards. The painful part was during the actual insertion and it lasted for about 3 seconds. I had mild cramping as my body adjusted but afterwards I could hardly tell it was there. it's done its job so far. The worst part is the change in my cycle. I went from having mild cramping to heavier cramping and increased flow. I've been hearing that this will go away after a few months. I'm hoping this is true. The other days of the month are great though!"


"first injection no pain, 2nd hurt and 3rd injection had me in tears!  Still no relief from pain and burning in my knee.  Both knees are bone on bone no cartilage left.  2 more injections to go but not real optimistic at this point.  :("


"Great for sleeplessness. That being said, I am more anxious than I have ever been due to side effects.  It is difficult to perform a high stress sales job when you are dizzy and nauseous much less try to cope with a headache on top of the other symptoms.  All of the symptoms exacerbate the anxiety you are trying to combat.  Seems a little counter intuitive to me."


"No cramps, no nausea.  Chills and shaking kind of bad.
Procedure was easy.

DO IT!"


"I love it."


"I told myself I would definitely write a review if this thing worked. I had sex with my boyfriend and we got caught up in the moment, that he ended up cumming inside me. Even after he came we didn't stop. When he finally pulled out, we were both freaking out. He went to the store and bought the plan b one-step pill and I took it 15-20 mins after. I wasn't sure if taking it too soon would mean it wouldn't work and I was super paranoid. I was even feeling symptoms of being pregnant (which tends to happen when you think about it waaay too much) but here I am, a week after taking the pill and my period just came :) plan b works, don't stress about it too much. It will do it's job."


"Been on Zoloft since '94 (200mg).  Side effects are minimal other than grinding my teeth at night. On the upside - it never effected my sex drive.  "


"I've been taking this medication for over a month. I couldn't take it twice a day as that made my stomach hurt badly. I take 1 pill a day and works like a miracle. I used to look for bathrooms everywhere i went. It was embarrassing.  Almost had accidents several times because the diahrrea was so bad.

The only bad thing I can really say is that IF I miss a dose or take it late, my diahrrea comes back immediately with a vengeance. So just remember to be vigilant in your schedule. Otherwise, best medicine ever"


"I just had my second Nexplanon inserted in August 2016. Overall it's been great. When I got the first one done I only got my period about every 3 months, but it became more regular in the third year. Now with the second one inserted, my period hasn't shown up yet and probably won't for a few months. The only negative side effects I have experienced are some minor weight gain (although I have experienced weight gain on every birth control I've tried) and considerable breast pain a few days before I start my period."


"The first month of taking chateal was fine. After a month went by I started getting acne which I never had, my mood swings were very uncontrollable, I became very very depressed, and very emotional. The side effects aren't the best"


"I have been in this medicine for 7 months, first started on 20mg, now increasing to 40mg. I am taking it for  depression and anxiety. It takes about a month before I see some effects. Mood was lifted and feel calmer but can't  stop yawning. In the beginning, I did felt increased anxiety before this subsides...I will continue to take this medicine and hope to get better."


"I'm a 5 foot 20 year old woman And weigh 170 lbs. I've only been taking it for a week And so far I lost 7 lbs. that's without exercise. Qysmia is way to much for my budget so my doctor prescribed me Adipex and Topamax. It the same thing I just have to take two pills instead of one. It really does work but I do have some complaints. The first few days I took them I couldn't sleep at all.  My mouth is dry and it has this funny, nasty taste that won't go away. When I go to drink or eat water I feel like I need to vomit, but I force myself to drink plenty of water. I have bad mood swings. I get so angry at little things. I am thinking whether I should stop taking them. It really does work. My mom takes this and she has no complaints."


"A surgeon recommended that I have a procedure to deal with the effects of several ruptured disks in my lower back.  I prefer to put off the surgery for as long as I can, and use Aleve on an almost daily basis.  It works just fine for me, and I only have an incident about every 1.5 years, and usually because I overdo the yard work. When it gets very bad, I supplement with an anti spasmodic drug for a few days."


"My doctor suggested for me Cialis 5 mg daily to treat Prostate enlargement however from day 1 to day 5 I was suffering from back pain with chest burning like heart attack. so my doctor stopped it immediately. Now I am using it .25 mg half day before sex. it is very good for erection and also to relieve prostate bad feeling during ejaculation"


"Major gastrointestinal side effects including nausea and diarrhea"


"Absolutely works. I started this med on July 6, and as of today, July 24, I have lost 6.5 pounds, and I'm only taking 10 mg once a day. I am very pleased with Belviq."


"I have a severe dairy allergy and I have had it for all of my life. My doctor (who has been a doctor for more than 20 years) told me I had the worst case he has ever seen. If I touch it, I break out into hives, if I eat it or just put it in my mouth and then spit it back out, I go into anaphylactic shock. (where my lungs close up and I stop breathing) I always carry around the liquid Benadryl (because it works faster than the pills) in my purse. On many occasions, a double dose of it has saved my life and delayed the reaction from getting worse until I could get to the emergency room. Literally a life saver."


"I am rating Zarah a 5/10 because I did like some aspects of this med. I did not have any unnecessary bleeding during the month which was great, my acne cleared up significantly and my periods were very regular and not that heavy. I did gain some weight on this med but nothing too serious and I did have a headache when I first started this medication & on my periods. BUT I have recently stopped this med I was EXTREMELY** anxious during the time I was on this medication. I cried at least 4-5 times a week and would usually have at least one breakdown  a day. Crying, chest pain, trouble breathing, couldn't focus. Just writing this so those feeling this way know they are not alone. I am feeling much better and hope I continue to get better."


"I have had metastasis cancer for 9 years

To all my friends have faith in PAZOPANIB IT WILL WORK

NO PAIN NO GAIN"


"I was prescribed this for an unspecified vaginal bacterial infection. First day of treatment stopped my symptoms completely. (Vaginal irritation, constantly full bladder feeling, and achy, uncomfortable feeling in my uterus) Relief lasted about two days before they reappeared with severe and increasing pelvic pain and pressure, unbelievable exhaustion, nausea, and a horrible feeling of being off and disconnected. I am exhausted, but wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep. The pain and pressure in my pelvis is unrelenting, and nothing helps whatsoever. I feel absolutely awful. It's the only thing I can focus on. Until I read the side affects and realized the drug is doing this, I was terrified that something was seriously wrong."


"I have had the same experience as many.  The 50mg worked well but anxiety is now a problem and I have to force myself out of bed. Don't feel like I function well. Love the weight loss but now I have had it combined with Celexa and it is not making me feel buoyant at all. I am not sure if I suffer from ADHD or may have some bipolar... this drug is not the miracle I had hoped for....I have been on it for almost 3 months."


"I got skyla put in a year ago, six weeks after i had my baby, and it was seriously painless. My doctor did say thats unusual though. I spotted for two days after and then only got a light period with no cramps every six weeks after. It worked so good for me i loved it! I just got it removed and the removal was painless as well."


"I had nexplanon since july 2014. As it got closer to the end date I started to feel nauseated every day & throwing up sometimes for three weeks. My doctor told me that my nausea was coming from my nexplanon after having it two years & three months & I should probably get it removed. I hadn't had a period the entire time I was on nexplanon. I got my implant removed yesterday afternoon & it wasn't too bad...I had to get one stitch because it moved in deeper in my arm over the two years I've had it. It is now 9:20 pm the next day & I'm already starting my period. That's the only part the sucks for me."


"All good!! Been receiving Tysabri for about 4 years and NO relapse. I was relapsing every 12 months!!"


"I've been taking this medicine for over a year and so far its given me some energy I still have to drink  it with coffee to get the full effects from the drug. I had ms since I was 18 and am now 34 the only thing I have so far is extreme tiredness so modafinil helps with that. id say its a pretty good medicine for tiredness and when you cant stay awake. it helps me get stuff done"


"I started taking doxycycline last year around May, because the acne on my back was getting worse and worse.
These pills are really hard for me to take, because they make me so nauseous. It took a month or two but completely cleared up my back, and the skin on my face was flawless.

Being dumb, I completely stopped taking them, because my skin was so clear and I was sick of the nausea so they didn't seem worth it. (My doctor recommended that I slowly phase them out, should have listened.)

Around Christmas time, my face started breaking out worse then it ever has. (Although my back was still super clear)
I think it was stress that caused the acne, but either way it was really bad and only getting worse. So I've started taking them again."


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD at 5. My friends, society along with my own guilt made me feel like a horrible mom for considering meds. Kind of was horrible for my son he hated school and cried to not go. 1st was a constant struggle and when we started trying different medicines. They all turned him in the "zombie" you hear about. I stopped trying medicines and thought we would just have to deal with 3-4 hours of homework a night. In 2nd grade we heard about Daytrana. My son made a huge improvement in school. His teacher (who is wonderful) was amazed by his focus in class. My son went from being an intelligent child who could not focus to an exceptional student. The red marks caused by the patch are hard to see as a parent, but my sons self worth out ways them."


"Been on almost everything for over 4 years I feel Opana ER an Opana IR take away the pain 25% - 50% more than any other medicine I have taken which means I am feeling good again. I am again able to work, clean and do a lot of the fun stuff I had to stop when I got sick (even mountain biking again!)."


""Promethazine, you are my hero and I love you." whoever came up with this, you are a hero. Best medicine for nausea."


"When I was started on this Med I was not in a good place mentally. I did NOT get the information any health care professional should always give to patients when starting a new treatment. With that being said, the Med not only helped my depression but also my chronic pain issues.

I ran out of this Med and was going to refill the following day. I began to experience electric type shocks to my head that I can only like to a cattle prod put against your head. Never had I experienced anything like this before and as it began to become more frequent and worsen I looked up this symptom and was surprised to find that it was associated with the withdrawal of Cymbalta. I had the Med refilled immediately but I am angry I was not fully informed."


"I have been on Endep for Fibromyalgia for 10 years.  At first the affect was awesome, for the first time in many years I slept properly and had hardly any pain.  Over the years though, this has changed.  I started off on 50mg per day and over the years had to have it increased to the maximum does of 150mg.  Recently I have been having heart palpatations and an increased heart rate.  My doctor has put it down to the extended time I have been on Endep at such a high rate. So now I am on a drug to lower my heart rate, which works well, but my doctor is getting me to try to cut down on the Endep with a view of going off it altogether and hopefully also going off the drug that I need to lower my heart rate.  It's not working I'm in too much pain"


"I lost 11 pounds in one week. I did experience dry mouth and did stop taking them for a few days. I lost an additional three pounds the second week."


"I've had the implant a year and a half. For most of the first year I had no periods but spotting for months. For the last 7bor so months I haven't had a period or spotting. That's the great part about it. I'm getting it removed because I've gained a lot of weight. I ate and was active the same amount prior to getting the implant and was 130. I'm now at 155. I started eating better, drinking only water, exercise more and I continue to gain weight. I'm covered in stretch marks now and until being on nexplanon I've never had even one stretch mark. Sex drive is non existent. Moods are all over the place. I understand every body will react differently but I don't suggest this."


"I've had the implanon for 7 months now. I've wanted it out since the first month but listened to my ob when she said I just needed to let my body adjust to it. Well I've been in 3 times since then and every time they have some excuse as to why they can't take it out. It has made me so sad and depressed. I am moody, no libido and sleep at least 12 hours a day. I just want my old self back."


"I had severe preeclampsia st the end of my pregnancy that did not go away after birth. My dr prescribed this birth control because it doesn't raise your bp like combo pills do. So I waited 7 weeks postpartum to start the pills. As soon as I started them I started to bleed and I didn't stop bleeding for 8 straight weeks. Apparently, this happens to many people and it's the lack of estrogen in the pills that makes it happen.. I didn't have too many other side effects from these however. Most bc pills make me crazy.. these didn't so at least there is one good thing about them. But I did stop taking them. Now I'm going to start tri linyah.. wish me luck."


"I would only take malarone, knowing that the FDA recently put a black box warning on mefloquine, but malarone is really messing me up.  I live in Africa and will be for the next couple of years.  Malarone is causing me to have horrific insomnia, some hallucinations and muscle contractions.  My stomach pain I can deal with along with the back pain.  The insomnia is killing me, though.  I can't work, I walk around like a zombie.  I'm going to take my chances with malaria.  No more pills for me."


"I have been taking Gleevec for over 4 years, and as of today I am in complete remission of my case of CML. For the first 4-5 months of treatment Gleevec apparently caused nausea, especially when I engaged in any vigorous physical activity. Now I have no noticeable side-effects at all."

"I'm 19 years old and this is the second brand of the pill that I've been on. I took Yaz first and I had the worst mood swings and it was extremely expensive. I have had no side effects with Loestrin 24 and it's only $24 a month. My breasts did gain slight weight, but I think that just comes with the pill. Periods are completely normal, as they were irregular before I started taking the pill. Would recommend this pill to anyone."


"I had promised myself that if this drug works I would write a review. I was terrified to get pregnant and I hopefully I can put some minds to ease sharing my story.

Details: semi-unprotected sex (1 min unprotected, then switched to a condom); May 10th. Took plan b May 12th (38 hours after). Got period May 26th. (Expected)

Symptoms: nothing first two days. Day 3-6 tiredness, extremely sore breasts, a little bit of queasiness. Day 6-8 tiny bit of old brown discharge but all the other symptoms had gone. Day 8-11 nothing and I was worried it hadn't worked. Day 12-15 extreme cramping, bloating, and almost hardness of lower abs and ovaries. It hurt and I was worried it was implantation cramping! It had pretty much stopped and then I got period"


"Took two 10mg tabs twice a  day and found it to be effective for relieving muscle spasms in my back.

When I first started taking it I had wild, vivid dreams and would often wake up at night confused as to where I was. Sleeping with better illumination help a little with this.

Things have settled down recently."


"Put me to sleep for over 10yrs, the best sleep I ever got. I just can't take it anymore because it raises my blood sugar."

"I'm almost finished with my first sample pack of Loestrin 24 and so far so good. The only thing I'm not comfortable with is the brown discharge that I've been having the whole time, but I'm positive it's only because my body has to adjust. This is my first birth control brand and I'm hoping for the best. I took the brown tablets two days ago and it feels like a normal period as far as cramps goes. It's hard to tell whether I'm experiencing insomnia because I'm on summer vacation and stay up until 3am regardless. So far I can't complain, but I do feel a little moodier. Breasts increased size, which I'm completely fine with. I haven't noticed any weight gain, but I wouldn't mind it. We'll see how it goes for the second pack!"


"I read all these reviews before going in to get the Skyla inserted and I was terrified. However, I felt little to no pain. The doctor gave me medication to soften my cervix the night before and I took a few advil 30 minutes before the procedure and I was perfectly fine. I saw people commenting saying this was the worst pain of their lives and I understand everyone reacts differently, but it really isn't bad at all! Only some pressure and cramps for a couple minutes. It's only been a few days since I've been on it but I would definitely recommend."


"I LOVE this pill! I was on Jolessa for 4 years and always had constant spotting and bad acne, Sprintec for 4 months and had spotting and awful mood swings and periods, but Ocella is absolutely perfect. I've been on it for 3 months now and it's cleared up most of my acne, I've had no spotting and no periods, and I've lost 8 pounds! No mood swings, either. I would definitely recommend that anyone who is considering this pill give it a try. Plus, mine is only $9 a month! For the work it does, it is awesome. I cannot speak on effectiveness for pregnancy prevention as I use it to skip periods and am not sexually active."


"I did not get pregnant while taking Junel Fe 1.5, so technically it worked. However, that could have been because it knocked my libido down quite a bit so I was basically abstinent. I also gained weight, had problems with my skin and found myself suffering from drastic mood swings and anxiety. I was nauseous daily, despite taking the pill with food, at night or at precisely the same time every day. As someone who infrequently suffers migraines, this pill made them a thousand times worse. Blinding headaches. I've been off it for a year and a few months at this point, and have seen a huge reduction in migraines and problems with my libido since. Pro: While I was on this, it made my periods really light or nonexistent."


"DO NOT GET THIS!!! I mean if you're okay with having unpredictable periods and non stop bleeding, then be my guest. My rod was inserted Mar. 2015, it's now Feb. 2016, and I'm ready to get it removed. I got it because at the time, I just had a baby and wasn't planning on getting pregnant any time soon. The first month I bled for two weeks, but it was light. The next four months, nothing. Once Sep., rolled around the unpredictable/non stop bleeding began. My sex drive was extremely low, and still is. I'm so over this birth control and will be getting it out asap! Btw, I didn't get pregnant, so I guess it's good for something."


"I tried Qysmia 7.5 dosage for 43 days and lost 12 pounds  but the side effect I didn't desire any junk. I didn't take every day as prescribed because of the side effects. Insomnia, dry mouth, tingling in feet, tiredness.  The worst side effects has come since I have been off the medicine for 4 days. I have pain in my genital area and constant chills.  I now see that these are listed as possible side effects. I think that people should return back to the post to warn of what comes after you withdraw from the medicine.  Not worth the 12 pounds weight loss. Everything comes with a price."


"I did not know nor was I given any information on this injection.  About 1 month in I experienced hair loss in places.  Have a tingling around the lips. I felt very nauseous on and off out of the blue.  Am very tired and just cannot get rid of chest infection/cough which just seems to be on loop... I think it's clearing up then it hits again.  I will not get this injection again.  Nothing is conclusive about the cause of what I am experiencing."


"I've only been taking this for two weeks but I feel a major difference. I am normally super irritable and moody, I feel like this medication has helped me gain the self control to think before I speak. I also feel like it's relieved me of anxiety, when a situation happens I feel so chill. I also am no longer suffering from extreme depression fatigue, I never had energy to help out around the house and I am able to do dishes, laundry etc."


"Jardience has improved my ability to control my diabetes.  Jardience is easy to take because it is in pill form instead of a shot.  The problem I experienced while taking Jardience is a monthly yeast infection.  This month, August 2017, I acquired a yeast infection and a severe case of vulvitis. My usual dose of diflucan improved my vulvitis and yeast infection but symptoms still persist.  This level of discomfort has made me consider discontinuing Jardience."


"I been on Avinza for about 3-4 months now and it's the only thing makes the pain bearable. I have had 2 neck surgeries and the last one left me with some right side weakness and partial paralysis. The only drawback I find with the Avinza is the constipation but the MiraLax has taken care of that. I almost feel like a real person again."


"This stuff is great - I don't get any side-effects, just relief of my symptoms."


"It been over 10 years now since I took chantix I must say this 1 of best  I have taken I have never had the  urge to smoke again even if I have a few drinks or smell someone else smoking around me don't bother me. Just wondering if you ever do updates on people who have took it and still never went back smoking. But thank you Chantix for providing a great medication to save peoples lives."


"I am 30 years old and have never had children, I also have my tubes tied at the age of 26. I decided to get the Mirena IUD after I went to my OBGYN and told him that I no longer wanted to have a period. ( my periods didn't last long maybe 2 to 4 days, but the cramping was unbarable but the actual flow was light.)

 I have read all the horror stories on here and it honestly had me spooked.

My OBGYN recommended The Mirena IUD for the reasons I stated above.

Each person is different so each experience will be different as well.

So I decided to get it done today.

I had my doubts and voiced them with my OBGYN prior to my procedure.

He told me that I should give it a try at least 6 months and if I really didn't like it  I could always remove"


"Feb this year I had an Ovarian cyst on my right overie rupture , it was the size of my 3yr olds head.  When they operated they found I was covered with Endo... ah finally a reason for my pain for the last 2years... I have just finished my 6 month course. Endo pain fine but OMG the side affects, dealt with hourly hot flushes home and at work.. gained 10kgs (awesome) but the mood swings REOW!! my poor partner. Lucky he is amazing... No pain yet but have to wait and see whats next. Maybe Mirena."


"I started taking this two months ago, I was told it was the generic version of ortho tricyclen. It sucks. I've never had mood swings or anxiety like this before. I get so mad and emotional over the most ridiculous things and usually Im pretty happy and upbeat. It also did nothing for my cramps during my period, they were terrible and that's not an issue I've had on my previous birth control."


"I got Mirena inserted two months after the birth of my second child. I must say that I've had no problems whatsoever and probably was the best choice for birth control I have made thus far. It did hurt just a little having it inserted and a day or two afterwards but since then I've had no complaints. Honestly sometimes I forget that its even there. My husband has no complaints with sex and it hasn't caused any problems in that category. In fact it has mostly been a good asset to us both. Boot worrying about condoms or getting pregnant again. My periods are somewhat irregular but I was told that would happen in the first six months but they are a lot lighter than they have been. I plan on after my 5 years are up getting one."


"My doctor put me on constulose after years of me using over the counter medicine for chronic constipation. I had 3 ERCP's, a tube down my nose to drain  fluid trapped in my stomach. Lots of hospital stays and the pain from not having a bowel movement is torture! I would go two weeks without having a bowel movement. I've tried senna, stool softener's, milk of magnesia & more. Finally my doctor wrote for constulose 15 milliliters and warned me to only take it for  emergencies. I go to bathroom every 3 days or less now. Best medicine so far!"


"Well, I started this medication at 50 mg, 4 times daily as needed. The only time I noticed that it helped or worked, was the first time I took it. All it does is sedate me extremely."


"Activating the Pay No More Than $25 card did not result in product being $25. False advertising. Did not purchase."


"The oxytrol patch is a life changer for me.  I was up to the highest poise product short of a brief and keeping extra clothes at work. I am 57.  I woke up the first morning after applying the patch the evening before and knew this was the answer for me.  I was able to calmly WALK to the bathroom, only  feeling a slight bladder fullness, and not the desperate 'its to late' urgency.  All day now I can walk calmly to the bathroom, and only feel the slight bladder fullness when needing to go. i can't remember feeling this way in a long, long time.  I have not had a single 'leak' or urgency feeling while wearing the patch.   Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."


"I have been using this medicine for about 6 years. As a result my cholesterol level test comes out normal."


"I was on Bupropion XL. I had to up my dose after 6 weeks of not feeling any different. I would get anxious over nothing at all and it was really depressing me because I couldn't control my emotions. I would get angry over little things that shouldn't even matter and have no patience. Now that my Dr has changed my dose I feel 10x better. It took about 8 weeks to actually work but it was worth the wait. I laugh more often and am just happy in general. It's not like most medicines where you feel loopy or.. it's a subtle change that has big effects. I take my time now and am not so anxious about everyday things. The only reason I gave it an 8 out of 10 was because it took so long to work."
