"I have had fibromyalgia with chronic depression for years. Started Cymbalta two weeks ago. I was very lightheaded and dizzy at first. I continued on. I am at two weeks now 30 mg per day. I sure can feel when I need my dose the pain is unbelievable when it comes back. I am looking forward to bumping my dose to 60 mg per day. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck to all of you out there I hope this is a miracle drug for all of us."


"I began taking ortho primarily to help regulate my periods, which are both very irregular and heavy. I typically don't have very severe cramps, so I can't comment on that. However, about a month into taking this, I started experiencing extreme nausea and about weekly vomiting. At the time, I was dealing with a ton of stress/anxiety, so I partially attribute my illness to that. The nausea/vomiting was severe, seemingly random (but commonly occurred at night/early morning), leaving me not wanting to do anything/go out, feeling constantly tired & run down, and with no appetite whatsoever as the thought of food made me ill. About 3.5 months later, I stopped taking ortho and I haven't vomited since. Just be careful in trying different BCs."


"I get severe motion sickness, no joke! Before I became pregnant, I used to take Travel ease gel tablets, they were good, but after using them so many times I started gagging when I smell them. My doctor gave me cyclizine as when you are pregnant you are not supposed to take the other one, and OH MY, I found my new love. Even with my bumpy flight for 9 hours, I was absolutely fine. Love it."


"I bought some Mucinex 3 weeks ago for a very bad cough that would not go away. Within a few days my fibromyalgia seemed to be getting better. Places that always had pretty much the same amount of pain seemed less painful and even the more painful ones where hurting less. The pain has continued to decrease and I am starting to feel more energetic. This is the best I have felt in years.

It was only after doing research on-line that I found the Mucinex/fibro connection. I only learned that I had fibro last fall and the prescription drugs have too many bad side effects for me to take them though I was afraid I would be forced to someday.

The Mucinex has had no side effects and I am feeling better everyday."

"I have been on this medicine since 1998 and as long I as I replace it on time, there are no issues. Even at 53 if it is not replaced on time, I start getting agitated and hot flashes start in. I always joke that it is not for my benefit that I take this, but it is for the benefit of those that are around me that I do. My only gripe is the outrageous expense."


"Finished my 2 weeks and I've lost approximately 9 lbs. I'm motivated since I've lost NO weight in the last ten years. Tomorrow I start the higher dose (7.5-46mg), so we'll see how it goes. Side effects still minimal. Appetite definitely suppressed. Made it thru Turkey day w/o binging. Keeping to my 1200 calories about 90-95% of the time."


"Well, what can I say other than vomiting for 8 hours and pooping myself for a day after taking this pill. I need answers"


"I had Mirena for 6 months. I'm 20 years old. Never been pregnant. The insertion was very painful-nothing like I ever felt in my stomach before. I just thought to myself maybe this is how giving birth will feel and seriously considered not having a child for a couple of days.  When I got it inserted, my lower right pelvic area hurt a lot. It was localized pain. Very sharp. Gave it 6 months so that my body can get used to it. Results? The pain in my lower right area never went away, I experienced myself having very depressing thoughts, loss of motivation, and NO SEX DRIVE. On the upside, I didn't gain weight. At the end? I got the Mirena removed 2 days ago."


"I switched from the patch to Nexplanon in April 2014. The insertion procedure was pretty quick and painless. I did have a big bruise on my arm that lasted a while afterward.

I had some acne and an itchy scalp, but the worst side effect was the CONSTANT BLEEDING. I didn't bleed for two weeks after insertion, but then the bleeding started and rarely stopped. It was usually only enough for a panty liner or light tampon, but it rarely went away. The bleeding was unpredictable and so frustrating.

I gave my body time to adjust to Nexplanon. After one year the bleeding completely stopped for about a week, giving me hope... But it came back.

I finally had it removed today and got Mirena instead. FYI removal took much longer than insertion."


"Had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and to be on the safe side I took the pill right away. It said within 72 hours. Well long story short I ended up pregnant!"


"Started with feeling nauseated, followed by severe vomiting and diarrhea."


"Nuvaring worked well for me. I did not get pregnant. I had it for about six months. But I noticed my appetite increased and I gained 40 lbs. It's terrible. I can't drop the weight and I've been on the ring for 4 months. I weighed 135lbs, now I weigh 155lbs. But better 40 lbs than 40lbs and a baby!"


"Had unprotected sex Sunday morning and got/took the pill the next day. Felt perfectly fine that day but everyday up until today I have been cramping and my breasts have been super tender, but I knew it was normal since it was stated as one of the side effects. But I didn't know it was going to make me get my period so early. I'm supposed to get it two weeks from now but got it today. I'm glad I did because now I have some closure knowing that it worked!"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been on Pradaxa for about 4 months and have not experienced any digestive side effects.  However, I do not have a history of these problems.  I'm not happy though because my cardiologist is forbidding me to take ANY of my Celebrex now.  No NSAIDs at all.  I have severe arthritis in one knee (knee replacement in the other knee) and now I have joint pain that is getting worse.  I admit I have sneaked a few Celebrex in and the pain relief was immediate.  So I need to be able to go back to that medicine.  I've scheduled an ablation in a few weeks and hopefully that will do the trick.  I have never had any type of stroke and the use of this medicine is purely a preventive measure because I do have irregular heartbeats at times."


"This is the 2nd time using this medicine. The 1st time it rid me of the severe depressive cycle I was in, but the mania crept back in very slowly so I didn't notice it until it was too late. And by late, I mean "all over the place" so I stopped taking it. This time around I am taking it coupled with Lamictal. The cycles are normalizing now after just over 2 months. Want to add that I put myself on a sleeping schedule and use medicine if I need it after 20 minutes of no sleep. This sleep program has helped tremendously."


"Immediate relief. Seems to be very long acting ... I was prescribed Rapaflo 8mg once daily but seem to need once WEEKY .... I quickly know that once urine flow becomes a problem ...it's time to take the medication."


"This is by far the best med that I have taken for my anxiety!"


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


"I'm on my second month of Apri, and honestly haven't experienced any side effects. My biggest concern was the whole blood clot issue, but my doctor says I'm low risk and healthy, so I need not worry. Only down fall, is you will be moody. Since I read reviews before hand, I'm in total control of my mood swings since I know its the birth control making me agitated. Weight gain? None. Boobs? Sometimes they're really tender and heavy feeling. Once I get in the sugar pull week those feelings subside. Overall, Apri has been good to me."


"My daughter just turned two and has failed every conventional method of treating her eczema. We have seen multiple specialists and after much consideration ( due to the warnings and side effects) we decided to try Elidel. After 3 days she was almost clear. By one week she was free of eczema, severe itching  ( which is by far the worst symptom) and redness/ dry skin. We stopped the medication as directed and within one day she was in a FULL flare. We thought perhaps we did not use it long enough? We tried it again daily for another week and here we are again back in a full flare after daily use for two weeks! So discouraging! Has anyone exp. this???"


"I took this nearly 22 hours ago and I am still feeling the effects - extremely drowsy.  Be sure not to take this before driving..."


"I'm 20. After reading such terrible reviews, I was nervous about taking this pill. Quite honestly, it's a good brand. I'm just about to start the 3rd pack. I've encountered no "horrible" side effects! No mood swings, no headaches, etc. Pill actually helped clear my skin. (I've had adult acne) Only effect I felt was very mild nausea. (Sea Bands helped suppress it) Also, light "period". Cramps were little to none. Lasted exactly 7 days, arrived just on time. Helped prevent pregnancy despite the fact I take it over 7 hours late almost every day. Some days I'm on time, other days I'm early then totally late. This is my first time on BC. To say the least, nothing scary about Aviane. It's a chill pill.."


"Clonazepam helped me live a "normal" life. After several months of trial and error on the dosing, I was able to walk, hear a loud noise, be touched, etc. AND REMAIN UPRIGHT! The downside is that I now sleep approximately 4 hours more per day than before, which took much adjustment. Overall I'd say the benefits outweigh the problems exponentially.  During and since my second pregnancy while on the medicine, something has changed and I no longer live a "normal" life, but I still live a much higher quality of life.  Despite many adjustments to the dosing and scheduling in the last 5 years, I have never regained the freedoms of the first 15 years on the medicine.  I am currently back to the trial and error phase of finding the best treatment."


"I have had fibro and chronic fatigue for years.  I used to take Skelaxin occasionally.  When I developed degerative bone disease and increasing arthritis, I decided to take it regularly and see what happened.  Over a period of a few months, I have found that my pain has reduced significantly.  It is one of those drugs that seems to work better when taken regularly as opposed to for an acute attack.  The down side is that it is expensive, even in generic form."


"Omg I put the egg in at about 7am & it about 9:24am and I am burning and irritated. I used the restroom and decide to put the cream on for the itching and that was the worst mistake of my life. The cream was burning my vagina. I am at work so i feel very unconformable. Its burning and itching at the same time. Do not use this product. Monistat 7 is the best one to used."


"I never had much acne as a teenager, but now I have developed breakouts almost constantly at 21.  I have tried antibiotics and several prescribed ointments.  They work for a time and then quit.  I have used Aczone for 6 weeks and it seemed to help for the first 4 wks and now the past 2 I have probably the worst breakouts of my life.  I stopped using and just went back to Proactiv and prescribed Benzopack and have some improvement.  I was hoping Aczone would be the answer for me, but it isn't."


"Life changing."


"I've been on humira for almost 2 years. I feel it works pretty well, I do notice some joint pain before it rains, and the day before my shot, but my doctor says that can be due to damage already done. For anyone considering starting it, my experience was this, I typically have plaque psoriasis on my scalp and knees, when I first started the shots I had an itchy 2-3 day rash at the injection site (This my doctor resolved by having me ice the shot site first, I recommend this to everyone) I also had guttate psoriasis spread over my thighs and sides, which thankfully went away as I said after 4 months, it was painful and snagged on my clothes, it would have been a deal breaker if it didn't go away, but it did thankfully."


"I had Mirena inserted for the second time. I had the first one removed because we wanted another baby and afterwards I had a new one inserted. I have absolutely no complaints and I would recommend this birth control to everyone. I haven't had any periods since it was inserted and the procedure was painless. I no longer get cramps or periods. We still use condoms, but I was told they weren't necessary. I am a full supporter of Mirena and would use it over and over."


"I've been on Otezla a little over a year now and I think I will be stopping tomorrow after I visit my dermatologist.  The Pros, much of my psoriasis cleared within weeks, especially on my neck and scalp.  When doing UV treatments with the Otezla I was near 95% clear.  I had all the side effects like tension headaches, stomach issues, and weight loss.  However, I would take that and clearer skin over my psoriasis.  I've had psoriasis for 24 years now and I have tried everything from steroid creams, UV, and biologic injections.  I thought Otezla was the best!

However, over the last month I have been experiencing anxiety and depression.  I get stressed out so easily and having panic attacks has never been me.  I cannot function normally."


"I had protected sex with my boyfriend but the condom came off during sex, and we did not notice until it was over. The following day I took the Plan B pill. I am now pregnant!!! I followed all instructions and took the pill within the designated timeframe, but I'm still pregnant. Now I'm planning to have an abortion because this was not the time to have another child, and I refuse to have a child because birth control failed."


"I started taking LoSeasonique because I wanted fewer and lighter periods. I'm on my first package and second month of  LoSeasonique and have started spotting and having a light flow. This has lasted 8 days and just when I think it might be over it starts up again. I also have cramping. The first month of the pack was great, no spotting or nothing but at the end of the second month it sneaks up and bites. "


"Excellent for migraines. No side effects. My 15 years old also suffers from migraines and it works great for him too. Usually only one pill a day helps. Other times just two a day helps to completely get rid of severe migraine.
"


"The very first night I took this, I slept through the night without any more nightmares! Week and a half so far, and it feels wonderful to have slept through the night each night!"


"My child ran a fever for days from a throat infection. It got up to 105.6. He got a shot of Rocephin and was 90% better by the next day."


"I was put on Lutera because of my unpredictable periods. I was bleeding non-stop for three months straight and after starting to take this pill the bleeding has stopped and almost two weeks later has not started again. Although I'm happy it's regulating my periods I have found it to make me extremely sick. It makes me nauseous to the point where everything is spinning. In addition it has caused significant mood swings. I find myself getting upset quicker and have more of an appetite. The most significant problem I have had is problems with visions. Upon taking the pill I've had trouble focusing and getting dizzy. I'm going to continue for two more months to try to regulate my period then coming off Lutera due to the way I'm feeling."


"I have Bipolar 1 rapid cycling and life was hell. Manic episodes were a little intense but the depression is what really killed me. It got worse and worse over time to the point I felt numb to the world. Life sucked and I wanted out. After taking many medications that didn't work (Abilify and Lithium to name a few) so I ended up in a mental hospital where they finally gave me Depakote. It literally SAVED MY LIFE!! I feel normal and stable for the first time in my life and I couldn't be happier. Im enjoying every second of my life now. God bless this drug (:"


"Had a dry hacking very painful deep cough.  Kaiser prescribed Tessalon, coughing stopped within 20-30 minutes.  Has not started back up. I've been using it for 24 hours. One pill every 8 hours."


"This is by far the worst birth control I've ever been on! Within four months I found myself feeling irritable and crying constantly. I had heavy breakthrough bleeding and totally lost my appetite. Be wary of taking this medication, it's really not worth all the side effects."


"I have bipolar 1 disorder and though I manage my condition with lithium, I have trouble getting to sleep at night which leads me to insomnia which ultimately leads  to manic episodes. I take between 12.5-25 mg a night of the seroquel and it works within about 45 minutes or an hour. It puts me right to sleep. It's the only medication that has ever consistently worked on putting me to sleep. I feel a little bit groggy in the morning sometimes if I take 25 mg. Also it increases my appetite at night. I've probably put on a little bit of weight because of my snacking but it's so worth it to me."


"I have used it two separate times and both times I have ended up with a severe sore throat, and laryngitis.  Something I did not have before use. I blame it on the Ayr dripping down the back of my throat.  I followed directions exactly."


"I have used Augmentin several times mainly for skin infection (acne) and had found it effective although I took only half course of 7 tabs x 625mg on each occasion. So far I have experienced no sight effects. I also increased my probiotics intake while on this antibiotic. The probiotics should not be taken at same time but after a lapse of time, say four hours or longer after consuming the drug. I would recommend Augmentin as it is effective and to me there is no side effect."


"Lolo has been awesome. I used to have 10 day periods before I went on my first pill. On Lolo, I have almost none, and when they do happen (occasionally and as predicted), they last 1.5 days. I heard it can increase frequency of headaches and I have had a couple more here and there, but I'd say that's probably just me not drinking enough water.

No weight gain, no acne issues. Can't recommend it enough."


"I was prescribed lexapro after trying Zoloft. Zoloft did not work out for me. I've been taking lexapro for two weeks now and over all I feel much better. I occasionally have to take half a klonopin on bad days but over all, I am improving. There were some side effects but I was able to manage them even with school. Nothing I couldn't handle. I have a much better out look, and I have motivation to help others. I'm trying to exercise as well. I hope this medicine continues to help with my anxiety and depression:)"


"Since my diagnosis of acute bipolar disorder I've been getting severe migraines almost constantly, or if there was a short respite, it lasted only hours. I was put on a self-titrating dose of amitripyline by my GP and at around 50-60mg daily I was getting no migraines. However, I found that several weeks after finding my 'correct' dose, I was finding myself in constant anhedonia and ennui. I'm now off the amitriptyline, and my migraines have returned, but my mood is back to normal."


"So for not getting pregnant, this option is great. However, if you're hoping to be a lucky one who does not have undesirable menstrual changes, think again. Most women have issues with this aspect and I am not an exception. I've had the implant for a full year now. I have not stopped bleeding at all.. Some days are lighter than others, but I'm still ALWAYS bleeding and it's very unfortunate but it's the only method that works for my husband and I."


"I did a lot of research before selecting a birth control. I have had so many bad side effects from previous birth control methods that I was skeptical especially after reading the reviews of this one.
I am considered a Sunday start and the 1st month went smooth. I didn't get my cycle at the usual scheduled time instead it came during the inactive pill time frame. I did get some slight cramping around the time my cycle would've normally come on and during my actual cycle I had sum painful cramps but they were tolerable. I think I might have had a few sad days but I mean we are putting hormones into our bodies so you kind of have to expect some temporary changes. At least until your body can normalize itself. Overall I like!"


"I'm a male 44 years, and suffered anxiety for years. I could not drive on the freeway without panic attacks, and the fear of crashing. I went to countless doctors before I decided to try medication(Lexapro). It changed my life. It took about three months for me to feel like my old self again. I have no side effects, and I haven't had a panic attack in three years since I began taking it. Life is great thanks to Lexapro."


"I have suffered from constipation all my life. I'm 60 and take medications for my heart and it has gotten worse. I've been taking Linzess for two months now and it's a miracle drug at least for me. Sure, I get some diarrhea but if you suffer from chronic constipation that is a welcome thing some days. Just to be able to clear my colon everyday is awesome. Thanks for coming out with this drug. Changed my life."


"I have taken Abilify for 11 years now and although it worked wonders at 1st, I have developed a rather severe case of tardive dyskinesia which makes sitting still almost impossible. I believe that after this length of time of taking it it is losing its efficacy. The parkinsonian like symptoms of the tardive dyskinesia are also embarrassing and make simple things like typing on my phone difficult. It definitely helped with my violent tendencies. Still I am ready to look for an alternative second-generation antipsychotic."


"Works very good as a stimulant in the treatment. It also helps in calming the brain. Storm of thoughts without the hyperfocus that other stimulants seem to bring on."


"The pain is gone. It took around 3 1/2 weeks to 'kick in' fully. Most days are great. I can work again. I can play with my kids again. I'm living again. Cymbalta worked for my fibromyalgia pain when nothing else would. "


"Best medicine for RLS EVER!!"


"I have been on Bydureon for approx. 8 weeks now. My morning glucose has gone from 230, down to 105 now. I don't really feel any different with it lower but it is probably helping my kidneys to preform better.  As far as the larger needle, I started injecting in my thigh and barely feel it. At first I was ravenous and was really surprised, now sometimes I have to remind myself to eat and eat much smaller portions.  I've lost 16 lbs. and I'm at the lowest weight I've been in 35 years. When I first started, I would feel nausea and throw up for no reason when my dose was wearing off, the doctor said she had never heard of that complaint before!  My only complaint is that the medicine seems to stick to the vial and I really have to beat on it!"


"Valium helped relieve tension and anxiety prior to a endoscopic procedure and a colonoscopy. It caused no side-effects other then a slight amount of drowsiness."


"Well, I asked my doctor for a birth control that would not make me gain weight AND I have got it! With Nexplanon I lost weight and have not gained weight despite max intakes of food. The down part is that I noticed hair loss 3-4 months after this implant. Too much hairloss!!! to the point where I am debating whether this wonderful weight maintenance is worth turning into this man (which I feel as with loss of curves and weak hair) My hair is so thin and I have no more curls! It is the worst I have ever seen!

Also causes random spotting and acne (which is ok and not problematic for me)"


"Went to see my neurologist for usual migraine check up, med refills, treatment. While there he suggested Botox (another story DO NOT DO IT, I am in horrible non stop pain) since I was in the middle of an episode I got a Toradol injection and this NEW Onzetra Nasal. Not a fan of anything going up my nose should have went with my gut instinct. You put one opening in a nostril the other in your mouth and blow. Like blowing up balloon, blowing powder through out your nose, soft palette and throat. It felt like sucking salt water up your nose, the pain was immediate, eye watering, dizzying, nose pinching, nauseous pain. I coughed, gagged, cried wanted to scream. 3 days later am worse than ever pain, shaking, incapacitated. Not worth it."


"So I've been taking this pill for 2 months and I'm torn. First off, I haven't gained any weight and I'm not pregnant which is good. The cons are my moods are heightened. I'm way more emotional and get annoyed/mad a lot easier and this started right away. My period lasted for a whole week last time and although it wasn't heavy I still had cramps. Also, when I'm on my period I get nauseous and I'm not sure if that's from the birth control or just me being on my period. My boobs have grown which is another pro, but my acne has actually gotten worse. If my acne doesn't clear up by the third month I think I'm going to switch because I really want clear skin... I had mild side effects- increase appetite, some cramps and mild nausea."


"I have been  taking stratter for 3months now ! I'm more tired when I take it bad I'm assuming gas pains but I don't care for it !"


"I was first prescribed Spiriva for my COPD and after about a month I saw no change & was using my rescue inhaler 3-4 times a day.  My Dr. then prescribed Symbicort 5 weeks ago & I haven't had to use my rescue inhaler at all since.  It has really inproved my quality of life!  The only side effects I've noticed is my throat is a little hoarse.  I'm happy!"


"I've had two knee replacement's since 2005 (same knee) and two surgery's on foot for Mortons Neuroma. I've had nothing but problems with both and have been in moderate to severe pain since 2005. After my Doc tried several medicines for pain the only thing that has worked was Percocet. I've been on it for several years however I quit for a month and a half and now I'm back on it. I'm taking 3 a day and It's absolutely amazing how I can work and function normally while on this. I also believe that not only does it relieve the pain but I'm alert and have so much more energy and I'm able to remain productive at 60 years old. I sleep like a baby at night too. Great Stuff."


"Make the itching stop. I took this for Hayfever and it worked. BUT, it then caused me to have head to toe bumps and itchiness even after stopping taking it. The itching is keeping me up at night. I am hoping to wait it out and never take it again. Also while I was taking it my eyes and face got really, really swollen. I am still not sure if this was from an unusually bad allergy season or the Zyrtec, but I am going to guess it is the Zyrtec because my allergies have never caused this before (usually I just have sinus and itchy eyes).  "


"The medication actually worked pretty well for me, however, I developed a cough that would not go away.  Having severe asthma, it made it impossible for me to take it."


"I had Liletta inserted two and a half weeks ago. The insertion process definitely hurt, but I was able to breathe through it and then go back to work afterwards. I didn't bleed the first few days after insertion but have bled continuously since. It's been about like always being on the first day of my period. The biggest thing I've noticed so far are some pretty intense emotional swings. I'm hoping they'll level out, but I've cried four times in the last two days for pretty minor reasons. I'll update later. Overall though it hasn't been a bad process considering that I no longer have to take a pill everyday."


"I have been taking 1500 mg at bedtime for about 4 years. It has lowered my cholesterol some but I'm also taking Zetia and Crestor too at this time. (I have Familial High Cholesterol about 380) I have flushing, but it is mild compared to regular Niacin which I could never tolerate. Flushing is worse if I forget and skip a day. Drinking water helps with the flushing."


"I've been on Gamunex since it was introduced. I take 60 grams every three weeks in about 2-1/2 hours. I have no side effects and pre-medicate with Allegra and Advil. It is by far the easiest tolerated of any of the IViG products. I've used IViG for over 30 years. Works for me."


"I've taken my fair share of medications for UTIs and so far this one seemed to be the most effective as far as relieving symptoms quickly. My doctor prescribed me to take two pills a day for 10 days. I felt relief from UTI symptoms as soon as the 2nd or 3rd day. That being said, it has some nasty side effects. They say you can take it with or without food and I'm guessing that because it makes your stomach feel horrible either way. I've experienced diarrhea, painful gas and bloating, and nausea, since the first day of taking it. From my experience this can usually be expected with strong antibiotics. My advice would be to take a probiotic to help counterbalance! I've done it before and it helps me."


"Didnt work, im pregnant! Buy the original Plan B. I took the pill on a 24 hour period."


"I went to the er for stomach cramping and tenderness after a bought of stomach flu. For some reason they used this instead of Zofran or Phenergan first. I had horrible side effects. Every muscle in my body spasmed to the point of nearly dislocating my jaw. It took a full 36 hours to leave my system. Benadryl helped, but did not reverse the effects. I was disoriented and screaming in pain only a few seconds after receiving it. Use caution. The side effects were not worth it."


"I've been on numerous topical and oral medications for acne.  At one point, Solodyn and Doxycycline have been the only skin savors for me.  My derma put me on several different topicals over the course of the last four years i.e. Ziana, Epiduo, Onexton, Retin-A, and Acanya.  I've probably tried more but can't remember all of them.  The last topical I was on was Epiduo until I found out that I was pregnant.  My Dr quickly put me on Finacea since it is safe to use during pregnancy.  I have to say, it's been 6 days using it morning and night and is the absolutely best topical I've tried.  My skin is under control and past acne scars are fading.  Really do love this stuff.  Wish I tried it sooner!"


"My son has had ADHD for as long as I can remember. We have been through 5 different ADHD medicines with some sort of side affect with each one. I started doing research and finding out what my options were. I found the Vyvanse by accident and I had to find out more. What I read was so amazing I wanted it for my son. I couldn't believe how hard it was to get the Doctors to understand I knew what I was doing and I was going to do whatever it took to get my son the proper help. Well needless to say my son has been on this medicine for quite a few months now and the difference is Amazing. He went from D and F's (not kidding) to an A student in this past report card. To see the smile on his face and the sense of accomplishment was worth it all. "


"My doctor recommended this product for my acid reflux. I took 2 pills twice daily for about 6 days and was super disappointed in this product,  not only did this medicine not help at all I feel like it made it worst. I would. It recommend this product from my experience but I know everyone's bodies are different so maybe it works for others."


"I'm 22 & nulliparous. I've previously used pills & nuvaring, & didn't have bad side effects (except for no libido) but I wanted something long-term. I chose Skyla after discussing it with my gyno. She had me take misoprostal orally the night before insertion, & insertion was definitely uncomfortable, but bareable. I would recommend bringing someone with you to drive you home, because I had a 30 min drive home & all I wanted to do was lie down. Had cramping the rest of that day & part of the next, but that's it. I've now had it for just over 2 weeks & LOVE it. My sex drive is back & I've had little/no cramping! I got my period a few days ago right on time and it's lighter than normal! Will update review in a few months"


"I have suffered with this debilitating and embarrassing disease for more than  10 years.  Creams, steroids and light therapy made no difference.  I am on week 5 of Cosentyx and experienced a severe cold and cough that I could not fight due to the weekend immune system.  Other than  that this is proving to be a miracle for me.  Almost clear! I cannot remember the last time my skin felt soft and itch free. No more flaky scalp and body! I am hoping that the great results continue and wish the best to all other users!"


"Took this almost 2 yrs ago after my 3rd laporoscopy due to endometriosis. It was AMAZING. Didn't have a single side effect from it. Took away all my cramps. The only reason I stopped taking it before was my insurance no longer covered it and I could not afford the copay. Started taking it again a little over a month ago. Now my breasts are HUGE and are always tender. And I've been getting cramps up to 2 weeks ahead of my period! Even with the endometriosis, cramps don't usually come til a few days before my period. The only saving grace was that my period was only 2 days long. I'm gonna try to continue taking them. I love that my period was only 2 days long but this time around out didn't help with my cramps at all."


"I recently starting taking Cymbalta for my chronic back (several herniated discs), Costocondritis (chest inflamation), and other related pains classified as Fibromyalgia and Chronic lower back pain.   The medication works.  It has nearly removed my chest pain and lower back pains by 90% and only a few lingering pains still exist and only in spurts. I've only been on the 60mg dosage for a few weeks, so it may get better. As a side effect, my PE is gone. I never told a doc about it and it has been killing me for a decade. I've tried everything else, none helped. I looked online with a search of Cymbalta and PE and there are sources to confirm it works. "


"I started taking zoloft about 5 months ago and it has totally changed my life for the better. The first 2 wks were a little rough ( increased anxiety ), but my Dr increased my ativan dosage until the zoloft started working. It took about 4-6 weeks to truly start working, but once it did it was a life saver. I've had barely any anxiety and have been able to decrease my ativan slowly to 0.5mg per day. Would highly recommend this med for panic attacks and / or generalized anxiety disorder."


"I had been using a prescribed topic gel (Bianca) for 5 months when I reached out to my doctor to pair it with a medicine after reading reviews that pairing oral and topic medications can work wonders on skin. I was given doxycycline, and can honestly say this combination gave me 85% clear skin, which I was more than happy with. However, doxycycline lowers the bacteria level in your body which causes less acne. But it also threw my pH balance off and I got frequent yeast infections that were unresponsive to treatments. So I had to ditch the doxycycline, still using Bianca religiously, and almost immediately, the infections cleared up. But my skin has gotten pretty bad again these past few months :'("


"My 6 yr old son has been in and out of the hospital since he was a baby with breathing problems. He was officially diagnosed with asthma when he was 2. He had been flown to a children's hospital and that's where he was diagnosed. He was put on a Flovent inhaler. This cut down on our ER trips, but not totally. We figured out that his asthma attacks were triggered by wind storms, allergy related things etc. They then put him on Singulair. I call it the Magic Pill!!!! We have not been to the ER in 2 years!! No side effects that we can tell. "


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I'm 60 and this was my first.  Reading so many horror stories I was nervous.  I did eat 5 days before prep only toast and eggs for breakfast and turkey sandwiches on white bread for lunch and dinner.  I feel this made my prep easier.  Took first dose at 5 pm followed by water.  Within the hour I was in the restroom and was finished off and on within 3 hours.  Making the water and prep cold and sipping thru straw made it easier.  5 am took the second bottle and water chasers.  Everything was clear.  I was worried about nothing and the taste is cherry which I am not fond of but better being cold made it easy.  I'll never be afraid again.  I feel great the colonoscopy is over and all I can say is it wasn't bad at all."


"All I can say is Wow! This medicine is great! I have degenerative disc disease in my neck and lower back, as well as osteoarthritis in my hips and right shoulder (right shoulder is due to a broken humeral head and torn muscle from a 4-wheeler accident).  2 years ago I wrecked my 4-wheeler, so bad that I could not walk or even bathe myself for 2 weeks.  I have been in severe pain and have tried everything, including nerve block injections, and incredibly high pain medicines (including Valium and Oxycodone).  The doctor gave me this gel a week ago and said to use it for my neck.  My neck is doing great, and after reading all of these reviews I am going to try it on my hips and shoulder!"


"This is the best pain reliever I have ever encountered. I have been prescribed opiate painkillers for three years starting with hydrocodone, oxycodone, Demerol, and Dilaudid by far is the best on the market. I have Osteocondritis Dicassen along with Acute Chronic Tendinitis and severely pronated talus bones in both of my ankles. I have finally found a pain management clinic that is willing to work with you and takes opiate tolerance into consideration when prescribing. I just stopped taking 4 x 80mg  Oxycontin with the new formulation and switched to Dilaudid 8 mg 4 to 6 times daily. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me. "


"I'm 19 years old. I've been struggling with cystic acne for about a year and a half now; my problem area being my cheeks . I've been on tri-sprintec for a little over a month.. Can't say I've seen any drastic changes but I feel like it's slowly taking effect (or I just might be desperate for results). I know they say it's 2-3 months for results so I'm remaining hopeful. The only downside I've noticed while taking this pill is that It might've made me break out under and around my jawline which was new for me. Also, I snack way too often now which might be making my breakouts a little excessive when that time of the month comes around."


"I have chronic thoracic back pain. I've been through nerve blocks, acupuncture, physical therapy, 3 chiropracters, 2 orthopedic surgeons, 1 neurosurgeon, 2 pain doctor's. Vicodin, Percocet, Kadian (very expensive). Insurance refused to pay anymore finally switched to oxycodone. Still have breakthrough pain with to much physical activity. "


"Two Aleve a day helped my back pain, but over time it affected my stomach. My gastroenterologist knew immediately what my problem was and I've stopped Aleve entirely. I had almost a year of constant nausea and pain until I quit taking Aleve."


"I have tried over 15 different birth controls, each with different terrible side effects. Eventually I had surgery for a uterine tumor and endometriosis, and the surgeon suggested LoLo. No acne, very little bleeding (unless i forget to take a pill), no unsual body changes or emotional outbursts or anything, and no more tumors, endometriosis, or ovarian cysts. I've been on it for 4 years now without pain.

I think it lowers my sex drive and makes me a little sleepier/less active than usual, but its worth it to live pain free.

My doctor has had to continue to fight to get my insurance to cover it, but they usually cover at least part of it."


"I've been taking Contrave for 6 days now and I'm down 5 pounds. I hope the weight loss continues."


"I have had a sinus infection since a bad head cold at Christmas. Horrible stuff being coughed up that was nearly choking me at night so this was suggested after being told Amoxacilin was resistant to my type of infection. Never happy taking antibiotics but sometimes we just have to go down that route...I have to say the metallic taste is horrible but not life threatening! Upset stomach and definitely should be taken with or after food so never on empty stomach. I am having vivid dreams but not really making me sleep badly. I took probiotic at same time as first pill but that just gave me terrible cramps - think too much going on at once so I will take when the course is finished. Grapefruit concentrate is good for gastro problems. Good luck"


"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I first got this and was unsure but when I used it I had no redness flakiness nothing and in 1 week 90% of my acne was gone and in 2 weeks I was acne free and I've been using this for months and I feel confident and not scared to sweat or get dirty as I used Duac in the night and all day I'm protected from acne and I ain't jd spots for like 4 months"


"I was so nervous to get the shot after reading all of the horror stories on the Internet. However, it was absolute rubbish. I went in to get my shot having not used for 11-12 days after cold turkey from a nasty prescription pill habit. Roughly 90-120mgs per day and using suboxone a few days a week when I couldn't afford the pills. The people who are feeding you these nightmare precipitated withdrawal stories are getting the shot with opiates still in their system. Obviously, the more and longer you use, the longer it may take for you to get completely opiate free. But 10-14 days is long enough for nearly anybody. Just have the Doctor give you the challenge with Naloxone before he gives you the vivitrol. If you have no reaction you'll be good"


"I love Latuda! I haven't felt this good in years. My Dr gave it to me for my depression. I really love how it gives me energy  it also didnt take long to kick in. Problems I have with it: dead sex drive, vaginal problems, and anxiety. Make sure you take it at night so you can sleep through the anxiety. Literally take it right before you go to bed."


"This medicine is great switched from 8mg Suboxone to this and I love it, its easy to use and no awfully orange taste plus you absorb 33 percent less naloxone which is always a good thing."


"I suffer from chronic migraines and every dr wants to give toradol shots to stop them.  Toradol is not FDA approved as a treatment for migraines.  It does not work."


"Do not take this. I used it 4 days after an accident and this states it is effective 5 days after intercourse. The accident being the 19th of November and i took it the 22nd of November. I took test 1 day before period due and it was positive. In shock and devastated."


"My 8 year old son took this, and had an extreme allergic reaction.  I thought it was something else, but on day 5 his eyes swelled and his face broke out.  It took a while to get out of the system.

On the other hand, my 11 year old daughter is taking Strattera 25mg, and it has worked great for her.  She is reading like crazy, and she's never been able to focus enough to read.  When ever she took stimulants, she would get a lot of stuff done, but she would be anxious and sad.  This medication is the only one that she's taken that didn't make her sad.

I rate it a 5 because it worked terrible for one child, but has been great for the other."


"I was born without a thyroid and I've been taking Synthroid every night. I'm only 13. I have to tell you this is the best thing ever. If I didn't have this medication I would be barely alive. I wouldn't be this tall either (5'7). This medicine is my life-line. "


"I have had no gran mal seizures now for 4 years.  I was on regular enteric coated Depakote since 1989 but always seemed to have a break through seizure every 2 to 3 years.  I am on 1750 mg of Depakote ER now per day and I weigh about 175 lbs and am a 5.5 foot man.

I was once diagnosed with complex-partial seizures because I had a psychomotor seizure and petit mal once or twice, but most of mine have been gran mal/ tonic/clonic."


"This is a miracle to me. I've been in prison most of my life. My anxiety was so bad that I finally listen to my girlfriend and talk to my doctor about it. She prescribed me escitalopram. Thank god for this medicine    the only side effects constipation and stomach cramps. Now I have a job and making the best of every day. Life is beautiful seek help if needed. :)."


"I never had a bad experience with this pill. I freaked out when I first started taking it because I didn't have a period. But I fell in love with it. I don't have periods. I don't get any weight gain or mood swings. I have been on this pill for about 4years now. It does take a bit for your both do get use to a pill. So don't hate it. It will take a month to a few. I haven't had any problems with it."


"Won't dissolve, takes forever.  Severe  headaches  after  20 minutes  of taking ."


"I'm 34 years old with 2 kids. I had the Paragard IUD inserted 3 & 1/2 yrs ago shortly after the birth of my 2nd child. The procedure was quick. I experienced a little discomfort but nothing unbearable.  Fast forward to 2016, I requested my GYN remove the Paragard IUD today. It took all of 30 seconds to remove  but did leave me spotting. My reasons to remove included the following: 1) shortly before my period I would spot for approximately 3-4 days and then proceed to bleed for a minimum of 9 days 2) constant vaginal discharge which resulted in me having to wear a panty liner daily and 3) since it's insertion, my cravings for sugar have tremendously increased. After 3 years, I finally just had enough of dealing with these side effects."


"So, Saxenda was effective for me for weight loss but the side effects I cannot tolerate.

 I was SO tired I could not stay awake when I get home from work.  I actually started to think something serious might be wrong with me to be this fatigued. So I stopped Saxenda and then I felt normal again --so realized that Saxenda was making me so that fatigued, I realized I don't want to feel this way to lose weight.

My insurance did not cover either.  $$$$$$"


"I am 38 and haven't had much of a problem with acne since I was a teenager, until I had my first child.  After having my now 2 year old son, my skin just started looking worse and worse and nothing I was doing was making it better. I even bought a Clarisonic (made it worse).  So I went to the dermatologist and she gave me Acanya and said to use it once a day.  This is only my third day using it and the difference is dramatic already.  Not every single bump and mark has cleared up yet, but I would say 50 -70% of my acne is already gone or almost gone.  Yes, it does sting a little, I try to not use too much and hope I get used to this or my skin adjusts.  Either way, I love this product and can't believe I didn't go to a dermatologist sooner."


"This medication worked well, but not without some side effects and a learning curve.  If youa re willing to work with a good doctor and learn about your own body, eating habits, and commit to making it work, Qsymia can reward you with solid weight  loss.

I dislike medications when not needed, but with a sudden diagnosis of Diabetes added to my already high cholesterol and hypertension, I was ready to try something that would work.  And this meant weight loss through diet and exercise... and the assistance of Qsymia, which my Dr prescribed.

My first three month I dropped 20+ pounds and by the end of my 6 month regimen I lost 15% of my initial body weight and was feeling lighter, more energetic. 2 yrs later i am 17% lighter than day 1."


"I've been on Trulicity for 1 year.  It has been a miracle medicine for me.  I had nausea the first 2 weeks, but no adverse side effects since then.  I take a 1.5 shot each week.  A1C has improved to 5.6.  Hadhimotos and IBS are much improved.  Abdominal pain and low blood sugar were gone after 1 month.  I have struggled with abdominal pain, IBS, low blood sugar, and morbid obesity for 40 years.  I lost 74 pounds this year while taking Trulicity."


"First time trying the shot. I got the shot in September and everything was fine. I have never had regular periods (as far as coming when they should). So I thought I would never have a period again. November 13th comes around and I'm spotting. On the 15th my period comes. I have been spotting different colors also. Not to mention the stomach and back pains. This whole process has been going on for 5 weeks. I know the pill gives you regular monthly periods which is something I'd rather deal with. Can't wait to switch back to the pill. No 2nd shot for me!!"


"I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome 2 years ago. Unfortunately it took several doctors and a 150 pound weight gain for someone to realize what was going on. During the 2 years since I was diagnosed my doctor has had me try everything and nothing has helped. Finally she decide to give me metformin. I've been on it for 10 days now. I'm currently only up to 1000 mg, but I've already lost 5 pounds. I've hardly had any side effects. Also my facial hair growth has slowed and I'm breaking out less."


"My skin is extremely oily, sensitive and I've been breaking out non-stop since the age of 16 (I am now 20). Because of my sensitivity aczone has been really amazing because it is not drying as many other prescriptions are and I like that I was able to start using it twice a day every day from day one (with many other prescriptions I have to slowly add it every other day to my regimen). I have noticed fabulous improvements in my skin. I still break out on occasion but as long as I stick to this regularly my break outs clear up far quicker than before use. It should be noted that I have been using this in conjunction with Tazorac .1. I also love that it doesn't bleach clothing or anything, which I used to hate in many other products."


"I started using Axiron 5 years ago.  I didn't feel like myself. (I'm SUPER intense by nature). I saw my Dr and he gave me sample of Axiron.  The affect was immediate.  My energy levels skyrocketed and so did the hardness of my penis.  My wife only complains now because I'm "like a 16 year old boy".  BTW..I'm 45.  Axiron has truly changed my life for the better."


"I had paragard first inserted in my late 20's after having my son (10 years ago-2007) I went and had it removed recently and had another one inserted (2017) since it's a very effective birth control. The first time it didn't hurt much. This time though, the cramping and back ache is excruciating. It hurt a little when inserted but the pain and cramping started slowly and now it's a 13 on a scale of 1-10. It's not steady cramping and pain. It comes and goes. It's been 5 days since the insertion and my pain is still very bad. Overall, aside from this pain since the insertion, it makes my periods heavier & longer (9 days). I do get discharge in between my periods sometimes which is not big deal. Better dealing with that than having a 4th kid."


"I have three primary headaches types and neuralgia due to lower back injury. Intractable Migraine, migraine, chronic cluster headache and sciatic neuralgia - 1st dose ramped my 'easy' cluster headache to a 10 and my neuralgia on left side is killing me and I want to throw up. What a great freaking drug."


"I'm 18 years old and I have had an extreme sweating problem in my armpits for several years. I've tried pretty much everything Dove, Degree, Mitchum, etc. and still continued to sweat! I can say that Hypercare is amazing and it works! I can now wear cute shirts without having to worry about arm pit stains. Thank You Hypercare!"


"I love Lidoderm patches. I have stenosis and muscle spasms. There are some nights I couldn't sleep without them.  Be sure you are not wearing the patches longer than 12 hours. What is great is you can wear them under your clothes when working and no one knows or 'smells' you are wearing relief for spasms.

They have been my lifesaver on more than one occasion. "


"Taken this birth control for 3 weeks now. Just started the period week with no period. My breasts have grown and were extremely sore for about 1 week. My face has broken out horribly in the last few days. In a matter of hours! I usually don't get acne but this pill has caused horrible breakouts all over my face. It has also made my face oily. I will give this pill another month or so, hopefully this side effect will go away."


"I am an adult on this medicine now for a little over a month.  I could not sleep at night because I could not get my brain to "turn off"  I had constant headache and horrible migraines which I am treated for by a neurologist.  My blood pressure was out of control most days over 175 with the bottom number at high 90's to 110.  Not good.  Since being on it  I have not had one migraine, my blood pressure is 120's over 60 to 70's and I can put it on and go right to sleep if I want to.  I actually sleep through the night now. I can not tell you how happy I am to feel so good.  Side effect; the patch leaves red skin that does not heel for days.  I am so excited.  My son takes Concerta now for 6 years and has good results but not like this."


"I started this medication to control bleeding. My skin is clear (I don't usually have acne anyway), my mood is fine and, even better regulated. I haven't had many side effects on this pill....just one. A big one, I had breakthrough bleeding every time I turned around. I also wear contacts and it caused some dry eye. All in all, I think its a very good pill if your cycle remains regular. My insurance paid for the medication, so it was fee."


"This is the only medicine that has ever stopped my migraines. I can't take the newer medications because they cause my blood pressure to spike.  I never had any side effects with Cafergot and it worked."


"This product makes the cold sore worse. It made my one pimple sized cold sores itch and 2 more popped in the area. I have given it a chance in the past (3 more times) but now am convinced that it doesn't work. ITS THE MOST ADVERTISED ON TV but its JUST A SCAM. Please save your money and try something like tree tea oil to make the blister small and dry."


"I am on my second pack of Sprintec. I like it because it has prevented pregnancy and I barely have any period cramps. My breasts have also increased in size. The downsides are vaginal dryness, which causes a problem and I am extremely hungry about an hour after I take it."


"I took my first dose a week ago.  Within days I started to see improvement.  I have psoriasis all over.  Some smaller spots, some larger than a softball.  Now at a week, my thickest plaques are almost gone.  I still have discoloration at the sites, but no plaques.  I've been on raptiva, which worked very well until they took it off the market.  I've been on humara, stelara, just about all the topicals you could name, and most recently embrel for the last few years.  I really can't believe how quickly this cleared my skin.  The only thing that gave me this type of result was cyclosporine and that took over a month tip get this clear.  I'll admit that the auto inject was not the most pleasant feeling and I typically use a prefilled syringe."


"I started this pill after my son was born he is two and a half. I had lost all my baby weight, and then gaind 20 pounds on this. Also I had some Depression start and I wasn't sure if it was from my dad passing away. But then I got severe mood swings and emotional states, so bad it was giving me chest pains.So I stopped the pill and anything else vitamin wise I was taking for about 10 months. When I wanted to be back on birth control my new doctor put me on this again. Well I'm 3 months in, the depression and severe mood swings are all back WORSE than before..so I'm going with that it is the pill! to the point where my husband wants me to immediately stop taking it he believes it's the pill as well, because it's not like me to be like this."


"I got pregnant after 6 months of using it. The IUD was removed and I had a miscarriage."


"Great product, worked well on my low back pain."


"I used to have very irregular periods but while on TriNessa they came right when they were supposed to. It did not however help at all with the heaviness of my period or my mild acne! And I gained 10 pounds. I am going to talk to my doctor to see if anything will make me not experience weight gain( and acne). "


"I have been on four different birth control pills in the past 2 years. I got on Loryna about 6 months ago, and absolutely love it. It has completely gotten rid of my acne, and my periods are only 2 days now, with very little/ almost no cramps or pain. I used to have terrible breakouts, and nothing would prevent or help them. This birth control cleared my skin up the 2nd week I was on it, and I have had maybe a few zits here and there (3 or 4) but they usually go away right away. Other birth control pills gave me mood swings, messed with my periods, or made my acne worse. So glad when I switched to a new doctor, she put me on this. It is the best!"


"This medication has helped my blood pressure to go down.  However, my knees are so sore as if I have been hiking in the mountains.  "


"Cymbalta has made my life almost pain free. I am having hot flashes since I've been on it. Taking it for 1 month."


"Was taking this medication Mybetriq for a little five years. During this time I had no side effects, however, after awhile the positive affects wore off and then my symptoms came back like I wasn't even taking anything. It did work for me but I'm one whose body adaptation is quick with medications. Couldn't go any higher because when coming off Oxybutin was put on highest dose. Hope this helps."


"I have been on Cymbalta for about 8 months and it is incredible.  The only time I feel pain now is when I get stressed at work. It has been life changing for me."


"My daughter had had horrible acne for years.  Nothing has worked, tried everything except birth control pills.  She had her wisdom teeth pulled and was prescribed this and within 3 days her face was clear.  Totally amazing! Shocked to find such a simple solution that has not given her any side effects."


"I was given this med for my TN pain, after I went to my dentist and he found nothing wrong with my teeth. That same day, my dentist called my GP and my GP got me in right away. I was sent for facial x-rays to check for sinus infection, nothing, so my GP made several calls and got me into a neurologist, in the mean time he asked her what he could give me for pain since at this point I had lost 10 lbs and was missing work. They put me on Gabapentin and Amitriptyline. It took a couple of days, but wow, when it started to work it was AMAZING for pain relief. They have upped me to 600mg 3 x a day and now at about three everyday I am a little high. But, the best side effect ever has to be that my anxiety, period cramp pain and insomnia are gone!"


"I've always had extremely heavy, long periods. My depression and anxiety would flare up the week prior and I would be exhausted the two days leading up to starting of it every month. I tried a few other birth controls in the past but either had suicidal thoughts or got pregnant. I opted for Chateal through an online service because well, frankly anything was better than what my body went through naturally. I've been on Chateal for over a year now. My depressive episodes are much farther apart and come on much slower. My bleeding lightened up over time from several super plus to maybe one regular and panty liners. No nausea as others reported and I take mine in the AM with food."


"I've been on the patch for over a year now. I have had no side effects, but I've never had a side affect with any medication I've ever been. I have had a couple pregnancy scares, thankfully all false alarms. I went  on birth control to regulate my period and it has worked wonders. I have got my period on Tuesday every fourth week since the first time month of being on it, that was why when I didn't get it at all the one month I thought I might have been pragnent. The only down side I have found to the patch is that there are lots of places I can't put it,( my butt, under my bra, my hip) any place that clothing would rub up against on a regular basis, so in the summer trying to find somewhere it won't show on my bathing suit is hard."


"Klonopin has saved my life, I can now freely speak my mind and advance in the work place as well as participate at social functions."


"I'm 31yr old 5'5" female 254lbs, after having my daughter I haven't been able to loss the weight. I'm one week into this medication, the first 3 days were ruff, I had bad migraines, neck and back pain. It should be noted I had also stopped drinking caffeine on the same day I started Contrave. In the first 3 days I was very tired, groggy and on the 2nd day even in a haze or fog. Once I got past the first 4 days I feel pretty good, it has definitely suppressed my hunger and amount I can eat comfortably, I feel full a lot faster. I don't have the thirst/dry mouth, jaw pain or suicidal thoughts. Tomorrow I start with one pill twice a day (I'm on 1 pill once a day) so I'll see of the increase causes sidea effects and update this review."


"I started intuniv when I was 11 almost 12 and those first 6 months were hell, I would sleep from the time I got home from school so 3 p.m. until 6 a.m. the next morning and WAS STILL TIRED! I would fall asleep in class or on the bus it was miserable. We told the doctor and she said well just push through it and push through the tiredness, might I add if you were ever on this medicine it is not a tired you can just push through. But I tried to anyways for the next year or so and I would not sleep everyday as much but there were some days where I would sleep the entire days away! It did get better but I would still fall asleep in class and be exhausted constantly!! FINALLY when I was 15 the dr took me off of that and its been so wonderful!!!"


"Just started on Saxenda this week, took my first 0.6mg dose after dinner at  7pm on 20/9/2017 with my weight at 112.5kg.  I took it at night just in case there were any side effects (e.g. nausea), better to have them at home than on the bus on the way to work!

The next morning I wasn't really hungry for breakfast so just had a slice of wholemeal toast and a cup of tea.  There was a definite feeling of fullness after the toast, I couldn't have eaten another slice without feeling I'd over eaten.  I felt no hunger at all during the day so had a tiny lunch and dinner for the sake of nutrients.

I weighed myself this morning (36 hours after first dose) and the scales said 110kg - I'm sure this is all water weight, but it's a good start."


"Started Trulicity, exercise and diet, dropped Januvia and 40 units of Lantus all at the same time.  BS readings much better. 90's -140's.

No noticeable side effects. After 1 month have lost 4 lbs. A1C was 7.9 at start of T. Next one should be in the mid 6's.  My diet is simple. No non vegetable carbohydrates except small quantities of fruit."


"As prescribed, I took 4 250mg pills last night in a single dose. After reading the other reviews I was prepared to be immobile the rest of the night and maybe today, I always get the worst side effects. To my surprise, I had no intestinal side effects! I know it could be a delayed thing but its been almost 24 hours and I feel fine.

My throat did get swollen, but that's because I'm allergic to most antibiotics...and it wasn't bad enough to have to go to the ER. Guess everyone is different."


"I had the worst time trying to get the cap off. Its child proof and adult proof. I had to end up cutting the cap off. This my first time using. It seem to be working and I just used it less than 5 minutes ago. Well one side of my nostrils is open."


"I use percocet 5's as needed for shoulder instability (subluxations/dislocations). Although it works well for pain, I find that I don't like the stomach upset, lightheadedness, or nausea while on it. Eating something helps somewhat. I seem to have issues with all drugs of this type so perhaps this is just me."


"I just started tenuate 25mg today.

I am hopeful that it will work for me since I have had no luck with a few other medicines.

I'm a little concerned that I might experience some scary side effects. I'm frustrated because I've been doing 60 minutes of cardio 4 times a week, eat low gylcemic, and haven't lost any weight in over a month.

If this medication doesn't work, then I will soon be out of options."


"I love Advair. It stopped my chronic wheezing and has given me back my energy."


"I have suffered from IBS-D for over 15 years. I tried numerous medications and nothing has ever worked .I went to a new dr and was recently prescribed Xifaxan and it has changed my life completely. In the first 24 hours I felt immediate relief.I am now able to eat again and not always turn to find the nearest bathroom.I don't have to wake up two hours before work anymore because my stomach is not upset.I have not felt "normal" in years and it's such a great feeling. I feel I can live a normal life with this medication . I am hoping some of you who suffer find relief . IBS is horrible and no one actually understands what it is like unless you have it . Thank goodness something worked ."


"I've been on Nuvaring for over 2 years, and never noticed my side effects until I forgot to replace it one month, and discovered how much better I felt. Along with a lot of other comments, like serious abdominal pain (for the longest time I thought it was a stomach ulcer until I was tested for it and it came out negative). I lost all of my sex drive, along with natural vaginal lubrication (I now have to resort to lube every time). But I also experienced serious mood swings, headaches and depression, and the heavy discharge. I just recently went back on it, and realized all of these side effects started happening again, and am IMMEDIATELY ending my Nuvaring prescription. I think you should seriously take these comments into your decision."


"I had sex with my boyfriend on the 25th of February and we found out the condom had broke. I was terrified and was stressing all night. We had sex around 8:30 pm and I stressed all night and finally took the pill 18 hours later. I had light brown discharge 3 days after taking it and  I was unsure what that meant. It went away and I was stressing for so long... my period finally came today on March 22. LADIES I'm telling you it works, take it within 24 hours and you should be fine! I would've wanted to hear this as I was freaking out!! Always make sure you use protection and have a backup!"


"Hi. I took the time to read every review and register. I have been on Topamax since May of '09 it is Dec.5th '09. I was put on Topamax after being taken to the Hospital for a TIA(mini stroke)due to complicated migraines. I don't really know how I feel about Topamax. I still get migraines a lot, and most of the side effects. I've lost 70 pounds. I am weak. But the banana tip is very helpful. My math is shot. And I stumble on my words. Short term memory is a loss. But I will give the medicine more time and try the banana's to help with the side effects. I take 150mg 2x's daily. I started at 25mg's. But I have other illness's that factor in. No one has mentioned TIA's. No one has this from their migraine's? Thanks for the info. It's all helpful."


"Not very helpful for the depression except at higher dose of 300+mg. at that dose I experienced severe hair loss: About a third of my hair fell out in about four months"


"I started Qsymia in May 2015. I'm 55, breast cancer survivor of 5 years and the Tamoxifen I'm taking for my breast cancer caused weight gain and inability to lose ... I weighed 226 pounds at 5'4... I lost 32 pounds and hit a plateau ... After 6 weeks of hard trying and losing the same pound over and over I'm starting the higher strength tomorrow to try get to my goal weight. 2 weeks again at a higher strength then onto even higher .... I've had just dry mouth ... Fizzy drinks all taste flat ... And occasional twitchy legs for side effects... Hoping that's all I have on the higher dose ...my insurance has approved me until November 2016....  Will update"


"Well it has been a rollercoaster for me. Very moody depression kicks in, mad all the time at my bf, periods come whenever they want too, very emotional, haven't seen weight gain, no sex drive at all. Considering taking it off"


"Stopped taking after one year...then I got a cold with cough and sneezing... Restarted as I was peeing every time I coughed or sneezed Works great no leaking after first dose!"


"I'm 21. Cymbalta works really well with depression. It made me happy. So happy I could lose my mind in myself and forget to do anything but eat and think. That's why I'm giving it a 5. When I started taking it I lost about 4lbs.... Then... Tada! I gained 14lbs in 2 weeks. I got off the medicine right after this. I'm not going to gain all my weight back to make myself more depressed in the future. Watch out for this one if you're watching what you eat. I've lost 7 of the 14, so at least I have that. But I'm upset by the gain. I was on it for a month."


"When I found out I had severe OCD and anxiety, I was prescribed this med. I was so scared to take it at first because literally I thought I would die. Then my anxiety got so bad that I eventually promised myself I would take it for 1 month, push through the side effects, and if I didn't feel better, I would quit. I've been taking it now for 8 months and I can honestly tell you this was the best decision of my life. I feel like a real person... thoughts come and then leave. I don't get caught up on them like I used to.  The only reason I'm giving it a 9 and not a 10 is for side effects in the beginning. But, the negative responses I see from everyone else seems like choices that they chose. This isn't a fix your life pill, but it helps."


"It really helps with my chronic pain I can walk on the treadmill with no hands for 40 min.  I was taking it for something else but notice on the treadmill my bad hand just relaxed and let go. "


"Been given Clarithrimycin 500mg for chest infection. Been on meds 2 days. The after taste at the back of your mouth  is extremely vile. I can taste it a few hours after taking it. It's that vile the taste wakes me up..I try to swish it away with water but it's still there. The last tablet I took was 10 hours ago the taste my mouth is still dreadful.
Not sure whether this medication is helping as still coughing like a trooper. I was less anxious when I read on this thread that it wasn't  me going crazy and others suffered from heart palpitations, shortness of breath, tight chest and anxiety (I can't break thoughts).  Its a dreadful feeling, have to finish the course but will never be taking this med again- 5 more days to go :-/"


"I have Depression and Anxiety.  I started with 20mg-it increased  my anxiety;  I was unable to determine any effect on depression. In a month, the Dr increased my dosage to 40mg. It increased my anxiety; moreover it increased my blood pressure from 130/80 to 150/100! Long term effects of this medication are undetermined at this time. I want no part of this medication or the people that prescribed it. I’m trying to wean off of it.

It’s a crying shame (no pun intended) that the medical community knows so little about this field-depression/anxiety-that affects so many millions of Americans! Get a grip doctors and Researchers..."


"I am 19 years old and I've been on this birth control for almost 7 months. At first I would get the typical spotting through the pill package and I had horrible breakouts around my chin (I never got breakout, maybe 1-2 pimples before my period). I waited it out for the 3 months because my friends encouraged it. They were right for the most part. My acne did clear up and now my skin is just as clear as before, if not better. Yet, I get breakthrough bleeding..STILL. It scares me more than anything and for that I can't give this birth control a high rating. Isn't the birth control suppose to assure you that you are not pregnant? This birth control causes more stress than it does help."


"I got my Implanon in June of 09... I love it! Haven't had any adverse reactions! I had a very light period about a month after it was put in..And haven't had one since! This is ideal for me.. I too have tried many other forms of birth control..and had no luck! This is a very worry free option for me..Very happy with it!"


"I am on month two of this medication. I am down 4 pounds from when I started. I do not feel a big change towards my desire to eat at all. I also have not seen a major change in my cravings. I do have constipation and dry mouth. My constipation was VERY bad for one week during last month. I literally did not go for FIVE days and I was eating flax, taking pills, etc. It was rough. My mood is good and I also have times where I feel very sleepy. I am on 1500 calories a day and exercising for one hour 2-3 times a week. I still have issues staying under 1500 calories. I am on 4 pills each day and wish that I felt more of the benefits that many of you describe. I am also hoping month two proves better off for me."


"I was very hopeful when starting Saphris, but it didn't take long for my family and I to see this was NOT the medication for me. I asked doctors to take me of this but I kept on being told to give it more time. I would sleep over 12 hours a day and if I could SOMEHOW manage to stay up with the use of coffee and energy drinks, I was a shell. I would sit there confused, unable to really talk or take care of myself. I took it twice a day once in the morning and once before bed, and rather than give me my life it was robbing me of what little I had.

It also didn't help with my delusions or paranoid thinking. I even still saw shadows and things of that nature from time to time."


"Had trouble sleeping."


"I take 0.5 mg of Ativan as needed and it works wonders.  Anytime I get "wound up" and tense and can't catch my breath I will place one under my tongue and it does the trick!  I don't seem to get sleepy from them either.  Fortunately, I don't need it very often but when I do it calms me down quick."


"I got the nexplanon inserted in July 2014. Didnt get my period for a little over a month until August and I have YET to stop bleeding. Not kidding you, i have been constantly bleeding/on my period for 10 months and i want to rip out my ovaries. Dr just kept saying to stick it out but **** that. I have an appointment in a week to get it removed and have the Paragard IUD put in. I am not happy with this birth control. I have very few birth control options because i get bad aura migraines that are made worse by any BC that has progesterone. Lucky me. Nexplanon was my last resort before an IUD but now i have no other options seeing as how depo made me an overweight lunatic, the patch gave my blinding daily migraines."


"My doctor recommended for me to get the nexplanon and I absolutely love it. She recommended I get it while I was on my period and I went ahead and got it on day one and I was done bleeding by day 3 and I haven't had any issues with it since then. It's been 3 months. No spotting, no side effects. I have actually lost quite a bit a weight with this in my arm. I recommend this form of birth control"


"I have been on Jolessa for 2 years now and I love it. Periods only 4 times a year, no bleeding in between and no side effects."


"I've never left a review for anything before, but I relied so heavily on this site the last 13 weeks that I felt like I should share my experience.

I've never suffered from terrible acne, but now, in my mid-twenties I've been getting more cysts then ever before. I went to the dermatologist where he put me on Epiduo. I really wanted it to work, but the number of cysts on my face only increased. As soon as one would go away two more would pop-up and for the last 9 weeks or so have had 4-6 at any given time. 13 weeks in I finally gave up and started using Differin, so we'll see how that works."


"This medication is first in class. It is not the same as the other Overactive Bladder medications. I was unable to take the other meds because of dry mouth. This medication gave me zero dry mouth and it works!"


"been on ramipril for past 8 months and also taking felodipine. Before medication my blood average bp was 160/80 now it's 110/50. I'm not having any side effects either. Took about 1 week for it to become effective."


"Gained 8 pounds in two months, wearing a splint for my left wrist due to extreme tendon/muscle pain, can't lift anything. Also
noticed that I can't lift any of the weights that I used to be able to at gym as my upper body isn't as strong as it used to be. Had blood work yesterday so I don't know if it lowered my cholesterol (300 range) but Dr. is taking me off (5mg) it for a month."


"I was diagnosed with PCOS late. I am 49 years old but didnt know I had PCOS for quite a few years.  I just thought it was early menopause.  I gained 100 lbs in 2 years. I started at 285 lbs.

Here is the key:  Whatever the doc prescribes, start first week taking only one 500 mg pill per day and take it after you have had a few bites of your meal, then eat the rest of your meal.  Then the second week, add the 2nd pill per day, etc. Its all about gradual adding.

Per this smart doc, if you allow your body to get used to it the first week and take with food, you will be less likely to suffer the nausea, etc.

Using it, I have finally had a period and my energy level has increased.  I am looking forward to the weight loss and other benefits."


"I've been on saxenda for 3 weeks today.  I've lost 3.5kg. I've had some side affects, but nothing I can't deal with. I have waves of nausea sometimes.  I find if I eat anything really sugary I feel very ill straight after.  So it's stopped me eating lollies and cakes, which is great as I've always been weak around those. I've lost my appetite which is great as I'm always was thinking about food, so it's good to think about other things instead.  I find I can only eat small portions of food otherwise I feel ill, I'm not sure if that's the drug working or still some side effects. Side effects definitely subside but once my dose increases again I get the side effects. I'm sure once the drug dose stabilises all side effects should disappear."


"My dr finally decided to try a different medication after I started telling him that I think I am bipolar, he put me on Cymbalta. It is good. A lot better then Prozac which I didn't feel any difference. I am taking 30 mg right now, think I could use an increase. Glad to hear all the good reviews about it! I think it is something I would like to stick too. "


"Every night for the past 3-4 months I have been breaking out in hives due to severe allergic reactions to dust. Since day 1 of taking Cetirizine (which is the generic form of Zyrtec) I have finally found relief. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."


"Before starting on this medication, I was on Minastrin 24 Fe and Lomedia 24 Fe. I recently switched to Blisovi 24 Fe bc I was told Lomedia was on back order. Anyway, I've been on this medication for one month, and I was so scared I was going to experience the symptoms everyone else says on here. I did not have any breakouts while on Lomedia or Minastrin, and have had none with this medication. The week of my period I did have one day of anxiety and some dizziness and light spotting but that was only one day, and my doctor said that was normal. Overall I will continue will this if I can't go back on Lomedia."


"I had no preparation
Never had kids
It hurt so terribly and if I had known
I would have demanded pain killer
And tranquilizer before AND for after!
Don't care if it's 3 minutes
It's traumatizing and betrayal of doc

Plus nausea and after affects last 2 days

Plus I should not have driven

I have had surgery broken bones and not a wuss- I have endometriosis so maybe it affects it- who  knows-

I was sweating nauseous and cramping for 48 hours

I've always had a bad period - so it's a little better pain wise and not as heavy  but I bled weekly till recently ( spotting whatever)

All I can say - the pain was bad enough to teach u that childbirth sucks -"


"I had an auto accident which resulted in a broken tibia and fibula.  Which had to be reconstructed with a titanium rod from knee to ankle.  After 2 weeks of Lortab 10/325, doctor put me on Lortab 5/325, for pain management. Taken 1-2 every 4-5 hours works really well for the pain. I could do physical therapy without being in extreme pain."


"So I had unprotected sex and then I realized he had didn't pull out on time so an hour later we went to the pharmacy and I drank the pill because I was scared.  Two weeks passed and I woke up sick and dizzy but I didn't think anything about that. It was about the week I had to get my period and I wasn't coming I just had some cramping so a few days after I missed my period I did a home pregnancy test and it came out positive and I couldn't belive it so I ended up taking 3 more and they all said I was pregnant a few days later. I went to see my Doctor and after a few tesst it was positive. Plan B didn't work for me not even after drinking it just 1 hour after unprotected sex."


"Lowered my cholesterol but after 6 weeks I had to discontinue due to hives."


"In UK had this on NHS for last 7 months. Improved within the first month and after a couple of months was able to dance at my sons wedding, something I thought I would never do. Thanks to the makers, it has changed my life. I'm back at work 20 hrs a week and don't ache for most of the month. Like others I do feel washed out for 2 days post infusion but its worth it for nearly a month of good health."


"I am 56 with degenerative disc disease, fibromyalgia and  just underwent rhizotomy on lumbar. That still did not help with the pain. I also broke my back in 2000 which was not treated and my spine is deformed. I suffer so much, I also tried everyting, this is magnificent it only takes 15mg."


"Clonidine is a fantastic little medicine and is helpful for many things. I recently discovered that clonidine is 100% effective for akathisia: an extreme motor restlessness that prevents one from relaxing or sleeping.

But for me I have to use a higher dose of clonidine. Doctors routinely prescribe 0.1 mg. but I didn't find that helpful for stopping the restlessness. About 0.2 mg. though and it does the trick. Akathisia gone; I can relax and sleep again. The only side effect is a really dry mouth."


"I've been battling severe scalp psoriasis for 6 years, as well as the beginning of psoriasis in my genital region. Topicals didn't come close to helping. I was on Otezla for 3 months but the side effects (vomiting, diarrhea, and headaches) were horrible. I tried Humira for 5 months but it didn't reduce the plaques enough.

After my first stelara injection, there was a dramatic decrease in my scalp psoriasis, and the few patches on my genital region disappeared completely. After the second injection, my scalp is 80% clear with no itching or burning.

The injection itself is pain free, the needle is maybe half an inch. I haven't had any side effects either.

Highly recommend, I'm so happy with the results!"


"I am 18 and was prescribed Monodox with a topical creme "Veltin" and have been on them for almost a week. So far I have seen small improvements and I will post another update either when it completely clears or at the end of the month. One thing is for sure though is that it works 10x better than anything else. After I take the medicine (Around dinner time) I can feel my pores clearing up. By the way I have what is called "Moderate or Mild Cystic Acne. Hope this helps and thanks for all that have posted already!"

"My doctor first prescribed Mysoline for me at least 12 years ago, after attending a Medical Conference. I was unable to raise a cup to my lips, or cut the food on my dinner plate. My tremor was noticeable by family and friends. I had been checked for Parkinsons, and the results were negative. This doctor learned that this medication was taken for Essential Tremor, which was mis-diagnosed too many times by Doctors. He wanted me to try it at least. I readily accepted, to take Mysoline, and before I knew it I had results. Taking this prescription, gave me my life back. I no longer needed assitance at dinner time, or by family and friends. I live a normal life now, not ashamed to go out in public. Inderal was added with Mysoline just lately. Thanks"


"Very effective for controling Asthma, but side effects almost killed me. After a few months I became alergic to wheat. I would get attacks that would double my heart rate and reduce my blood pressure to half. Also I felt so weak that I could hardly stand up. Went to a heart speacialist and all kinds tests, they could not find anything wrong with my heart. After getting off this medication, no more problems with wheat. Note: I also experienced the same thing with Asmanex Twisthaler."


"I'm 18 have been on "the pill" (Loestrin 24) for 2.5 months. The only problem I have had with this pill was mild acne. I would have small breakouts every few weeks. I've never had acne breakouts in my life. Luckily it did not affect my weight or anything else."


"This is my 3rd week on this bc pill! So far I've been quite moody but nothing that has gotten out of control. I've cried for no reason but I'm naturally an emotional person so this doesn't surprise me haha. No weight gain, some headaches and fatigue but nothing intolerable. I had to take Tylenol like 2 or 3 times and every thing was fine. HOWEVER, I am have a mini cystc constellation on one side of my chin :( hoping this will be better and wont happen again. I also got a random cyst on my fore head. I normally only break out on my cheeks."


"Bones hurt a lot, hot flashes were really bad."


"I'm having to use MoviPrep for the 1st time today, in readiness for Endoscopic examination of my complete digestive system, in the hope of getting a diagnosis of why I became badly Iron deficient.  I followed the instructions as were given to me by the hospital.  1st does at 17:00 hrs, and the 2nd at 20:00. Things have started to work, going straight to the watery stool stage as warned.  The taste isn't too unpleasant, just a bit salty, I didn't find the need to chill it as some suggest."


"A good initial substitute for ibuprofen to keep symptoms at a minimum."


"So I'm 16 and I was prescribe to this medication ( doxy) because I have rosacea on my face which causes stupid bumps and a lot of redness, anyways it is week 2 into the medication and it summer has begun so my skin really feels like it's burning when I'm in the sun. So if you go on this medication, try to wear a hat. Make sure when you take the pill to drink it with a full glass of water also. :)"


"Okay middle way through week 4 oozing red spot that is weeping. It is fairly painful and stings.  I don't have the aches and pains but seem to have bouts at night of really heavy complete body sweating.  One small spot seems somewhat improved but so far .... not sure. . two weeks to go hope it works."


"I have been taking phentermine for 2 1/2 months starting weight was 253 and as of today 9-03 I am 226. The first month I lost the most weight. I have to constantly drink water and take something to help my digestive system moving. My goal is 175 to 180."


"I've been on it for about 10 days now and it seems to be working well. "


"So let me start by saying that I'm writing this as someone who I wish I had before I got my skyla. I went to get it today. I have been through a considerable amount of pain in my life. I've been kicked by horses. I've drowned and was found and said  to be "dead" but was resuscitated. I've gotten 5 concussions and dislocated my shoulder been bucked off horses. I've felt pain. Just about nothing compared to the pain of having this stupid piece of plastic   put in my body. If u have friend u love or family wanting to get this IUD simply forbid them. I'm not saying this to scare u. I'm saying this because I want to help u. It's such a joke that birth control is this painful. And that people don't warn u as much as they should. I was screaming"


"I've used 5mg daily for three weeks. My delusions and paranoid feelings passed. I still have hallucinations (voices and visual). It's helped my thinking. Though it makes me very tired in the day. I hope it will continue to help."


"March 26 2013, I will be smoke free for 3 years because of Chantix. I started Chantix "Valentines" Feb 14th and on March 26th I had 3 cigarettes left, I told my son I was going to smoke them back to back and never buy a pack again. I won!  Chantix was a real help but it holds true you can take anything to stop smoking but if the willingness of wanting to really want to quit is not there...you're not going to stop smoking. Chantix does help curve that urge to use but you still have to use your own  restraint and increase that restraint daily to fulfill your quest of stopping. Chantix itself will not make you quit...it is an aid in quitting as crutches are an aid till your broken leg heals."


"Very little effect on pain. Have not experienced any negative side effects. This medicine may work for others, but not me."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for over two years, it worked great in the beginning. I currently take 90mg a day, 60 in the morning and 30 at bedtime. The last few months it does not seem to be working. I have tried several other medications before this one and none of them worked. There are days (most) that I hurt so bad I can't stand to move."


"The new color injectors suck. Harder to push the button and unpredictable on time of injection now tonight the damn thing after 35 seconds didn't retract. When I pulled it away it continues to spray my medicine across the room. Bring back the white sure click."


"I'm pregnant and my dr recommended me to take unisom and b6 at night for my morning sickness and neasua. When I took it i easily fell asleep but I could not sleep throught the night I would wake up at least 3-4 times. I work up irritable (more Than normal for being pregnant) and it also triggered my migraines. Almost Everytime I took this I would get RLY bad headaches"


"I take Sumatriptan for menstrual migraines and this medication has been an absolute lifesaver for me. If I take a 50 mg tablet  when the migraine starts, I have 100% relief within 30 minutes. If I wait until the migraine is really bad then it takes about an hour to kick in.  My migraines generally last 2 days and the first dose wears off in about 12 hours so I usually have to take another dose. The only side effects I experience are a slight head rush that goes away after about 10 minutes. I would recommend trying to take a nap after taking this medication which really helps."


"This drug has destroyed my life! Taking it as prescribed for years has left me totally dependant and without hope. I've tried to taper off unsuccessfully many times. When on it at full strength I am despondent. There are blanks in my mind during which time people I love the most say I have behaved in ways that were contrary to my nature and core values. It seems as though I have permanent brain damage. My doctor says the safest way to attempt the protracted withdrawal process can only be attempted in a qualified facility which my Medicare will not cover. This drug ruined my chance at ever having a normal life. I have no friends, my only child abandoned me. No spouse. I hope I will manage to get off it."


"My son is almost six years old and was recently diagnosed with ADHD.  He was evaluated due to the fact that he was always in trouble in school, home and getting kicked off of the bus.  He also seemed to struggle with focusing on us when we talked.  His doctor had us try Intuniv... we started at 1mg every morning. The positive change was very noticeable.  He was calmer, had a less aggressive attitude, and even used his indoor voice. It did make him sleepier but that only lasted for the first two days.  He is on his third day of 2mg and is doing well.  For the past few weeks he hasn't been getting into trouble at school and his bus driver said he is doing amazing.  He also seems to be focusing better."


"I have been taking diclegis since I was 11 weeks pregnant. Prior to that, I was vomiting maybe twice a day and felt nauseous all day long (except at night). The first time I took diclegis, I was in HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!! I felt sooooo good. I was able to go a full day not even thinking about feeling sick. I thought that would be the effect the whole time.NOT!. I am 3 weeks in with taking diclegis, and it seems like the effect of it has worn off to a certain extent. I am back to feeling nauseous most of the day. I will say that the vomiting is still under control, but I vomit maybe once every 4-5 days (which is still progress). I am in my 14th week now and I want to see how I will feel if I don't take the meds, but I'm scared lol!"


"I have nightmares, weight loss (went from 128 to 118 in a few weeks, which is a lot for me), dizziness.  Also "the spins" whenever I lay down, which is when my body feels stable but the whole world spins (kind of like being drunk and lying down).

No seizures yet but they aren't that common to begin with (1x/year) and I've only been on lamotrigine for a few months.  I'm at 300mg/day now and trying to get up to 400mg.  Dizziness is pretty bad right now, that rocking feeling you get after being on a boat.  I feel that."


"I discontinued use due to nervousness/anxiety that I felt was caused by the Niacin."


"I really enjoyed smoking but heart disease rings strongly throughout my family. I wanted to live to see grandchildren so I decided I needed to quit. My doctor prescribed Chantix. I only took Chantix for two and a half weeks. I haven't smoked for a year and a half. I would recommend Chantix to anyone wanting or needing to quit smoking. I had no side effects. I actually slept wonderfully while taking Chantix."


"I had so many bizarre symptoms!  I had hot and cold flashes, night sweats, numbness and tingling in fingers and feet/calf that lasted weeks, difficulty concentrating and I had mild depression symptoms (easy to cry, very emotional), irritable, etc!  Many premenopausal symptoms that were getting harder to live with.  I was also diagnosed with an underactive thyroid that was adding to my symptoms.  The first HRT (hormone replacement therapy) pill I was put on, I was allergic to one of the dyes in the third week of pills.  This pill has improved my symptoms greatly and I am interested in my husband once again.  THANK YOU Ocella for making me feel better!"


"Although I've read it could take up to 4 weeks to see any improvement while taking Cymbalta, I noticed the pain that I usually experience for several hours in the morning has subsided significantly with the first dose. It's been one week and the improvement continues!"


"I started taking Prozac 5 yrs ago due to a panic attacks. I then stopped taking it for 2 months, felt ok for the first 6 weeks apart from withdrawal symptoms. I have now started taking Prozac again as my depression has come back, my panic attacks are getting worse. I feel like can't leave the house and I cry all the time. I decided that I should try taking them again. "


"I was prescribed because of my car accident. Broken ribs, fractured skull, and fractured back. Spinal fusion. (Titanium)

It's very hard to come off. Take precaution.Taking warm baths throughout the day is helping.  I feel really agitated and taking ibuprofen and naproxen to help with the body pain. Very moody. Sun exposure and walks also help. You can do it. Find your motivation . Hope this helps. I know it's hard.

P.s it will get worse before it gets better."


"I use this cream when my eczema flairs up its a great help to relieve itching i use it a lot and dont know what id do without it."


"I took plan B 40-42 hours after unprotected sex which was also 5 days before my next period was due. Although this is my third time taking plan b (I know, I'm getting BC next week!) I was just as nervous as the first time. I know it can really mess with your period, and I knew I was stress if it caused mine to come late. However I got my period on the exact date it was due. The down side it that I have had HORRIBLE cramps. And a lot of (what I call) clots.
Before it came I also had really really  bad nausea for two days which is normal for me right before my period. I usually experience breast soreness too but I had none of that this month (not complaining)
Also the last 2times I took it I was 192. I'm 159 now, it works the same!"


"I have struggled with acne for years. I finally decided to try Accutane as the last resort. It really worked for me. It's been 2 years and I have clear skin very little break out's. My daughter is 17 is on the process of taking it herself. So I'm totally 100% okay with Accutane best acne medication out there. Very little side effects ."


"Solodyn has cleared up my skin completely. Contrary to the first comment someone posted, this is the first antibiotic that has worked without giving me constant yeast infections.  The only drawback is the sensitivity to sunlight. One day at the beach with SPF 30 still caused me to become ill and badly burned."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I've been taking this for years.  One use to be good enough to knock out my migraine for years.  Now I need 2.  It even works if I'm in the middle of a migraine attack although it takes 1 hour to kick in. "


"I've taken a lot of different antidepressants so my old psychiatrist put me on this one because it was new. I wasn't doing well, still felt very depressed so she increased my dose. That made my depression worse. I was visiting my family and I lashed out at them, had many episodes, and had to contact the suicide hotline 5 times. I lashed out on my friends as well while on viibryd. I couldn't contact my psychiatrist at all so I stopped taking it on my own and I instantly started feeling better and noticed a difference."


"Smoked for 20 years, quit for 4 years, smoked again for 7 years.....that's a lot of smoking!  I almost died in 2010 after having surgery and having a clot break loose and lodge in my lungs.  That scared me, yet I continued to smoke.  I need to have another surgery, but I told my Dr that I won't even discuss it until I've quit smoking first.  Today is day #250 since I started Chantix.  I'm still amazed at how easy it's been.  I had purchased an E-cigarette a couple of years ago.  The battery is dead and there's no nicotine oil in the filter, but I use it when I feel the need to smoke.

I've offered to pay for the medication whenever my son decides that he's ready to quit too. (fingers crossed)"
