"I had major ankle surgery. This was one of the medication I was given.  You have to keep it refrigerated, but one opened it can be a room temp. I want you to know my throat hurt so bad after surgery too.  I had a nerve block done also so I waited till the next day to use this medication.  I read about the burning, but didn't realize it was like someone placing burning coals in you nose.  I was like omg omg for about 5 mins. Then all of the sudden no pain, not even my throat was hurting anymore.  After about 6 hrs. I did it again, it did hurt, but not as bad a the first time.  The only thing was when it was wearing off I got a bad headache. Other than that no problems.  For someone in moderate to severe pain I would recommend."


"I've been suffering from extreme edema since 2009. I've been on a different diuretics since then and have used in a combination Lasix &  potassium and it has to help regulate the fluid retention. without the Dyrenium, my potassium levels drop to almost lethal level. Obviously this is an improvement! Side effects are not overtly noticeable due to the use of them with Lasix: Usual dry mouth, cramping of back & legs, weakness.  I would rate it higher but it is very expensive."


"I am so thrilled and relieved! 2-3 months ago I started having a reaction on the palms of my hands and it quickly turned into a red itchy rash with nasty flaky, scaly skin and I had no idea what it was. I shake hands with people frequently at work and all I think is if I saw a hand like that I wouldn't want to shake it!  I've tried all kinds of creams with no results.  Then 2 days ago I found this and the picture on the packaging looked like my hand so I bought it.  And you know what?.. Just 2 days later and I am seeing AMAZING results! Its not completely gone yet but it looks and feels so much better after just 2 days. I never do these reviews but I am so happy I just had to find a place to tell others!"


"10 mg amlodipine at night do wonders for my migraines and headaches. Gave it 9 instead of 10 bc of ankle swelling. Had migraines all my life (now 62 yo), went through a complete list of migraine preventives at least 4 times before I gave up. Tried verapamil (also CCB) but it did not do the trick. I had daily headaches. Was on high doses of daily tryptans. A year ago, my bp started to rise  (150/90 vs 110/60) and I got worried bc tryptans are generally contraindicated in patients with high bp. Ran into several case report publications suggesting almost miracle results after migraine pts were given amlodipine. My pcp cooperated. I stated very slowly with 2.5 mg a day and felt positive results right away."


"Fentora gave me my life back! But it is very hard to get it covered. They do, however, offer a coupon program for those who can't. Our cost out of pocket was going to be just about $5,000 per month. Insane! Thankfully my pharmacist told me about the coupon program. This brought our co-pay to $5 per month!
I have been on Fentora for years now. Probably 5-7 years. I've been through 3 insurance companies. I've always gotten my Fentora, after long battles.

The only negatives to Fentora are: 1) if your mouth is too wet it will dissolve almost instantly and it won't give you the same help so I try to dry my mouth out first.
2) if you put them in the same spot you will get sores
3) hard to cut in half; they disintegrate
Otherwise, miracle med"


"I started on phentermine nov 5th 2016 and was only doing phentermine eating healthy and working out and drinking water in 1 month 1 week in 30 lbs down and got another 39 to go to hit my goal"


"I have been put on fluoxetine twice. On the second time of taking it I suffered with all the stated side effects as my body got used to it. Infact I got worse for about two weeks. I would urge anyone feeling like this in the first 2-3 weeks of taking it to stick with it! I haven't suffered with any major side effects since my body got used to it but one sticks out. My dreams have become VERY long and vivid and I can recall them most nights. I wonder if anybody else has experienced this? Anyway if it's new to you and your unsure - keep going!"


"Hi, I got the implanon in, in December  2014 I'm now 16 years old. I gained 25 to 30kgs in that period. I never changed my eating habbits, I went from a size 6 to a size 16. It really makes me depressed. I've tried to change the way I eat and I now have joined the gym! But I can't seem to see any changes? I have really bad stretch marks and a new one appears every day ! It is honsetly the best with the prevention of pregnancy but beside the fact of weight gain I would recommended it"


"I started 2 days ago, I had a bought of diarhea, but nothing major, I'm not giving up. I went straight to wellbutrin xl from zoloft, no reaction there. Anybody else had any diarhea, hoping this will disappear."


"As a female in my 60's with a daily wine habit, I had to use naltrexone 50 mg. One hour before alcohol consumption for many months before it had the desired effect.  Read THE SINCLAIR METHOD to understand how this drug actually works.  Be aware that it blocks your opiate receptors and thus do not take it within 24 hours of anesthesia."


"I have been taking Lamictal for almost two months. It has worked great for my Bipolar Disorder. It at first gave me severe stomach pains with diarrhea that subsided after a week or so. I noticed I'm more sensitive to foods now. Like for example I cannot eat tomato products anymore (I used to be allergic when I was younger). And also greasy foods make me very sick (which may be due to my gallbladder removal). But over all good results from this drug!"


"25lb loss in 6 weeks! No hunger or cravings!"


"I have been using 1500mg, (500mg/3x a day) of L-Lysine for years with no ill affects. No Herpes Simplex breakouts either. I keep meticulous records of all my blood work and it has been nearly perfect."


"I have been smokefree for 7 years now.  I used the first month pack and part of the second month pack.  That was all I needed.  I never had an urge for a cigarette since.  I highly recommend talking to your doctor."


"Abilify made me into a short term sex addict. My life is ruined . Abilify is the devil theres no cure for a lost soul. Do I need to tell you not to take this drug? Witch doctors all of you and no good money hungry people . I hope you burn too."


"Have had fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis for 15 years. It has progressed over body and bladder is shrinking. I am on disability. Between the Lorcet 10's, muscle relaxers, and occasional Xanax, I can function a few days a week. The pain is never completely relieved. I always have breakthrough pain but with pain medicine I can function a little bit better as they take the edge off. A positive attitude and a sense of humor helps a great deal."


"This medication did not work well for me at all, and I got the unfortunate side effect of lactation. At the time I was sixteen and that's just something that I was not willing to deal with."


"I have a fused 5th lumbar with a bone insert and two shoulder replacements that cause constant pain. Avinza has proven to be far superior to other drugs for constant pain relief. Hydrocodone and Oxycodone preparations use to wear off after 4 hours with terrible withdrawl symptoms and cause mood changes. Avinza, although gastly expensive, provides pain management without feeling drugged at all. I am able to play tennis and stay active because of this drug and it's taken once a day instead of every 4 hours. A life saver."


"Ive been on it for about 4 months and ive noticed that my acne has disappeared , my sex drive is in the so so range, i lost 29 pounds , my periods are 2 days which is very light , in the morning i barely would like toast, because my taste for food has left me bout 64% , i would have a hard craving for water and certain fruits, i cant stand soda's or candy , i get aggravated very very very easy, when im at work i sometimes feel extra depressed when im alone or its raining."


"I'd struggled with anxiety all throughout my 22 years of life, and it started to get quite debilitating the last 6-10 months. My obsessive thoughts started to get uncontrollable to the point where I felt like I was in a trance/not there almost always. My psychiatrist suggested Sertraline and after hearing all the horror stories of the initial anxiety I was quite scared. I started on a quarter of a 50mg pill, so 12.5mg. I've been on it for over a week now and already my symptoms have improved immensely. Surprisingly, I haven't had any negative side effects at all (apart from a loss of appetite). I have control over my thoughts and they are rational again. I'm already feeling like my old self. Give it a go, goodluck!"


"I can say this really wasn't the right pill for me. I'm 20 years old and I have a one year old daughter, so I decided that I wasn't really for anymore babies and I wanted birth control. Well my insurance got cut so I went to the county because a friend said I could get free birth control. They gave me 3 months worth of this one first and after I finish the last month they want me to come back for a check up. I have had severe anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember and I was just starting to be able to manage it on my own. I'm almost done with the first week on my second pack and I have absolutely no desire to do anything anymore. It's almost too hard to get out of bed. If you have anxiety/depression be careful!"


"I've been on Saxenda for 1 month and lost 15 pounds. But I do eat well. I like that I don't have any craving but I started to have rash where I inject so I have to go see my doctor. It itch, it looks like a skin reaction. I hope I won't have to stop. I'll keep you posted!"


"Long history of post-op nausea (PONV) here. Excellent care team applied patch about an hour before surgery (along with IV Zofran) to stop the nausea. Really hoped it would help. The dizziness & blurred vision & very dry mouth made me feel worse--dying of thirst. Drank too fast post-op and had some of the worst PONV ever. CRNA said to wear it 3 days; I took it off after about 36 hours; my doctor switched me from oral promethazine (did not stay down) to meltable Zofran, which was much better. Hope it works better for others."


"Does great relieving pain from blocked bowels."


"I was prescribed Seroquel  for PPDin early 2016 after having my 2nd child. I had a past history of severe post partum depression with my 1st birth and my 2nd birth was no different. I had the perfect storm for a mental breakdown. I had just had my baby 1 month early via emergency C-section after going into labor from a very close family member unexpectedly passing away. I had horrible symptoms...racing thoughts, no sleep, no appetite, increased heart rate, and worst of all, intrusive and disturbing thoughts. My psychiatrist, prescribed me 50mg of  Seroquel to take only at night or as needed so I could sleep. Seroquel is the only medication that I have ever taken that can put me to sleep. Thank God for this medication!"


"I have been taking 1 mg roperinol for aprox..9 months,it works great for me,I haven't had any side effects at all to which I am thankful because getting interrupted sleep is very unhealthy all around (mind,body,spirit) so I will continue to use this medication to get my 7 hrs a night of uninterrupted sleep! Thanks, sincerely stevensnana,Oklahoma"


"This medicine had bad side effects, mine was headache and stomach pains. I took it for 7 days twice a day it cleared everything up. Today is my last day I'm so happy. "


"I have previously been on yasmin for around 8 years. Before this, I was taking Dianette. Yes, the yasmin pill was an effective treatment for controlling my acne, but I didn't realise whilst taking it that I was actually suffering from side effects. These included a huge appetite, constant fatigue, migraines, mild depression, anxiety, mood swings, and the rare side effect of excessive sweating. I have since come off the pill now for 4 months and all these issues have slowly resolved, although the depression and anxiety increased for 2 months after coming off. My acne has returned with vengeance at the age of 28 and my hair has thinned a lot because of all the hormonal changes. DON'T TAKE IT! YOU WILL PROBABLY REGRET IT IN THE LONG RUN!"


"Gave me a "hyper" feeling instead of drowsy."


"Been using Paxil for about 20 years, 15 mg daily. I suffered from lifelong depression and anxiety and can attest that Paxil probably saved my life as I contemplated suicide seriously on multiple occasions before taking the drug.

It's good about 100% for depression, maybe 75% effective against Anxiety. If I miss it for 2-3 days I start feeling down in the dumps again.

The side effects that some posters noted above are usually only temporary. Over time they all disappear-I had several of them in the beginning as well-not a big deal.

Love this drug."


"I have completed the 12 week therapy with epclusa with no side effects, I actually felt stronger, and slept better then I did in years! So far awaiting blood tests results, but I am not hopeful, when I stopped I felt this pain in my liver again, I have genotype 3, which seems to be the hardest to cure. I have had it for over 30 years, got in in Vietnam is my guess. Hopefully other drugs in the pipeline will cure this Beast!"


"What a waste of 20dollars. Overpriced medication to catch customer one time because its so ineffective, follow up sales unlikely. This is a scam."


"Effexor helped me to relax, although it was a trade off. I had continuous headaches and heartburn. It started with nightly headaches. Then that turned into an everyday thing, I would have to take migraine medicine before bed. After I started doing that I would wake up from heartburn! I never have heartburn. This medicine is definitely a trade off."


"I have lost weight on it and just to maintain my weight, I take it every other day. I am on the 30 mg. The first day I will feel some anxiety, but the next day I don't, but still don't feel hungry. It also helps to stop taking it for a week or 2, than start taking it again so you continue to lose weight.

Make sure you are exercising. You don't want to lose so much weight so fast and than end up with a lot of flab/extra skin. This happened to my sister who lost 60 pounds on it."


"I took Viibryd for 3 months, as in spite of initial side effects, I really wanted to give it a shot, since I've tried virtually everything else. The sexual side effects began after the very first low-dose tablet and continued until I quit cold turkey after 3 months. I'm 57 and went from enjoying sex with my wife 2 to 3 times a week, to almost complete anorgasmia while on Viibryd. Three days after quitting I was almost back to normal, and within a week I was back to 100%. The best I can say: virtually no side effects of the withdrawal, in fact the frequent headaches I had while taking it have ceased."


"I absolutely adore microgestin, now that I've been on it for three and a half months. The first two months were brutal. In the second week I had horrible uterine cramping and terrible cramping during my period also. The first month also, until I got used to it, it did give me mood swings, but did not make me depressed. Once I was on it for a few months, however, all of this went away. Right now I have mild breast tenderness but honestly it isn't bad at all and I'd recommend it to anyone."


"Excellent help with severe nausea caused by IBS, SIBO and gastritis."


"I take Lyrica primarily for non-diabetic polyneuropathy.  The bottoms of my feet felt like they were on fire before.  I could not walk.  Now, though painful, I take long daily walks.  I can only tolerate the lowest dose three times daily, maybe four times if the doctor allowed it.  An increased dose made me too drowsy.  I find it helpful for fibromyalgia too, but I could only choose one category.  I still have too much pain."


"I want to share this so others can protect themselves. I used Microgestin 21 (generic Loestrin 21) for one pack. I do not have hair loss on either side of my family. No one in my family has lost their hair. I began losing hair rapidly. Within a week it was enough to think maybe I should try rogaine to counter it as much as possible. I just switched to Zarah today. Fingers crossed that it helps undo what the other drug did."


"It sometimes gives me headaches and also made me gain weight. But overall I gave it a high rating because it changed my life drastically. I no longer am allowing opiates to run my life."


"Not completely pain free and stiff joint free. But the fatigue is awful. 5 inj so far, can sleep all day if my family didn't need me. Very lethargic and drained."


"Was put on 10mg for intense panic attacks, and later moved up to 20mg. This stuff has worked wonderfully! I feel like I'm finally the way I should be - you know how you see other people who are completely relaxed and at peace, and you wonder, "why can't I be like that? Why do I have all this anxiety for no reason?" Well, all of that is gone! It's amazing! I would recommend Celexa to anyone. The only downside is I experienced A LOT of side effects the first month I was on it - increased anxiety, jaw-clenching, headaches, insomnia. But, if you bear down and get yourself through the first month, it's worth it. I finally have my life back!"


"I've only been taking this pill a month. My son was 6weeks old when I started it. I'd just finished the bleeding process from my pregnancy. My Dr put me on that day. I've been bleeding ever since. My son is now 12 weeks so I've been bleeding for 6 weeks straight off and on. I was trying to figure out why I was producing less milk then usual. I figured it out the pill. I will not  recommend this ("mini pill) to anyone. I lost weight after I had my son I was almost back on my pre pregnancy clothes. Today I went to get dressed and I couldn't fit anything. I'm completely bloated,irritable and I have constant migraines. I'm so done with this pill. We plan on getting pregnant on more time then I'm getting my tubes tied."


"I hate BC. I have tried them all. I stayed off of them for several years and became tired with condoms and finally gave in. Well.. I gained 10 lbs and did everything to lose it. I had the sweetest sexiest bf and he broke up with me after 4 months on the pill (which I took for him) because I became a crazy emotional mess. I fought with anyone and everyone. I was unmotivated and severely depressed to the extreme. It is not worth it. Just use condoms or refrain from sex. You have a better chance of a long term relationship with no sex at all than becoming the crazy monster this pill makes you."


"No bad side effects so far."


"This is the first medicine since I've been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 that makes me feel normal. I started on 20mg for a week then went up to 40mg for 5 wks now. Unfortunately my insurance won't cover it so now my Psych is giving me Abilify samples. I'm not happy about this because in past yr Latuda has worked the best without any side effects. Latuda made it possible to actually function as a mother and full time worker. I'm afraid to go on Abilify I don't want to feel crazy again especially after finally feeling normal for once. "


"I had my mirena inserted 7 weeks ago. My doc first tried inserting it in her office. After several painful tries including using dilitation tools, she gave up. I have 3 children and one was a home birth with no meds. I would rather give birth then do that again!!! It was nasty. I cramped and bled for many days after.

I had it inserted several months later via surgery. I had less cramping and needed no pain meds after. A week later I started having painful cramping and 3 weeks of bleeding. The pain was so bad if I was in bed no one could touch it as it would start another cramp.

Last week, I got up at 3 am to go to the bathroom. On the way back I was hit with the worst pain ever. I went to the er, and it left after 20 min."


"Have taken it 3 times and ended up in the hospital with severe electrolyte deficiencies.  Works well and fast - lost 20 lbs in 3 days. However, for me requires monitoring of electrolytes which doctors will not do regularly."


"Lyrica did not help me at all. I gained 30 pounds in two weeks."


"Gave me akathisia that still does not go away 8 days after quitting while it should. I need to be moving all the time (in a car or something like that counts ) and it's unbearable."


"I have always used the pill and so far this birth control has not affected my mood, appetite or libido negatively. My breasts have gotten larger which is okay with me. I have been on it a month and plan on sticking to it. Very pleased so far, I had tried several other pills like Tri-Cyclen Lo and the regular Tri-Cyclen and feel Ortho-Cept is much better."


"I started Phentermine 37.5mg on 4/16/2015. Starting weight 209, I weighed myself today 4/25/2015 196.8, lost 12.2 . To be honest nothing in life is easy, you have to put in the work.I workout 6 days a week,eating right as well. I don't feel any different however am aware of how am going about losing weight not depending on the pills only, rather workingout and eating healthy for a lifestyle change."


"This is the only medicine that truthfully works. I am 24, been suffering with extreme migraine since I was 6, and this medicine is a godsend. I have tried everything, so if you have as well, ask your doc about it. My migraines start with a scotoma and I lose 90% vision, then numbness in face, tongue, arm, hands, and legs. Then that turns into getting sick, then a migraine headache that is ruthless. This medicine literally gets rid of the throbbing, pounding pain in minutes. Only con with this med is you may feel tired, but anybody who truthfully suffers from migraines, would choose being tired over one of the worst pains 10 out of 10 times."


"In April 2014 my knees just simply gave out.  No cartilidge the doc said.  Tried cortisone,it did absolutely nothing.  Started Euflexxa Jul '14.  Got 1 shot a week, 3 weeks straight.  Felt better, still limped, could not put weight on it, but it was better. Jan 2015 took 2nd series of 3 shots.  It got better again...limp reduced, could put more weight on it.  Just got my 3rd series over past 3 weeks.  Instantly with the first shot my knee felt better...vast improvement.  Second shot, even better.  About 5 days after the second shot it has been 2 days and all of a sudden I realized, wow I haven't had any knee pain in 2 straight days!  So much, so I FORGOT about my knees!  Take time but it works!!"


"I started taking Chantix no joke 4 days ago and today I have had NO desire to smoke at all! Very happy about that. I will continue to take Chantix. No weird dreams, actually feel more energetic and alert. Clear headed and able to breathe. Smoked since I was 12 and am getting ready to celebrate my 51st Birthday in a few weeks. Only thing I DO notice - I cannot get the smell of cigarettes out of my nose. No one around me smokes. It is really annoying. ANYONE ELSE have this happen to them?"


"I'm on my 3rd pack of chateal and I just called my birth control provider to ask them if they could switch me to another pill. It's worked for me the last 3 months that I've been on it but with some side effects. Like really bad nausea, stomach pains, but the one that really bothered me was the acne. I usually have really clear skin and only get acne when I'm about to start my period but ever since I started taking these, I break out like crazy! I expect to see a new pimple right after taking a pill. They're always really bad ones too! Hopefully my next pill is better!"


"3 months of Protonix did nothing, after taking Kapidex, I noticed improvement within 2 weeks and most symptoms gone after 5 weeks."


"I was put on this medicine for a skin infection. I was reluctant to start it because of all the horror stories in the Internet. It does make me nauseous and it gives me a slight headache. Advil and Benadryl help with those side effects. I'm on the fourth day and my infection is nearly cleared. I was also given a Bactroban skin cream and that stuff is great. A pleasant side effect has been my skin clearing. I had perfect skin up until I hit 25 and then suddenly I had cystic acne on one side of my face. I was reluctant to take anything because it wasn't that bad, but the Bactrim has pretty much cleared it up."


"I was on the depo a little over a year ago had no problems nor period the whole time . This year I returned back to the depo feb 10 , 2015 and have been bleeding for 2 1/2 months straight . The Depo is terrible. NEVER AGAIN"


"It helped my ankle pain, 1 x 15mg a day, no stomach trouble, works great."


"I feel like a 12-yr old while on this pill. I'm hungry and irritable and I've bled through for 2 months now. The bleeding hits me exactly half way through the pill cycle and on a Wednesday. I'm tired of having 2 periods a month and al the symptoms that come with it. I'm calling my OB on Monday to switch."


"I am on day 3 of 15mg of enablex and my symptoms have gotten worse. due to the dry mouth I am drinking more which is making me go to.the bathroom more than I already was. Did anyone else have this problem??"


"I started Contrave 56 days ago and have lost 26 lbs without any exercise. I haven't had any side effects, and it has really curbed my cravings ALOT. I was a massive pop drinker and sweet eater. I am very impressed with this medicine and hope for a loss of 100 lbs."


"Did not help blood pressure at all.  Made pulse go high-106 at one point.  Went back to Cozaar."


"I started taking Alesse about 3 years ago.  It has no effect on my mood, I never gained weight on it, and I basically feel pretty normal when I take it. Of course, I don't think anyone is a fan of actually getting a period every month, and mine usually last 7 days, sometimes even longer. So, my doctor just prescribed me Seasonique and I start that next month.  It will be interesting to see if it really only makes you have a period every 3 months. As for Alesse it is great if you don't mind having a period every month."


"I am an 18 year old guy who has struggled with moderate acne for years. I have tried everything from benzoyl peroxide to salicylic acid and more. Recently, I went to the derm and got prescribed with epiduo, aczone, and doxycycline hyclate pills. I also wash my face with cetaphil bar soap. I have been using these things for 2 weeks and I have broken out more and my face got dried out and red. Should I continue this treatment or look for something else? Any comments/feedback/tips will be greatly appreciated."


"I used Clobex spray this summer for 4 weeks in June 2017.  This gave me almost immediate clear skin on my elbows.  This lasted until September (long sleeve season).  Thanks Clobex,  I plan on using this every summer to give me clear skin during short sleeve weather.  Hopefully some day they find a permanent cure for this disease !"


"this medication has help me a lot I pee stronger and a lot less times. I am 62 and the sex is great if you don't care if you come or not, this is a magic pill, I  stay hard untill she comes then I fake like I came and all is well."


"I have taken this for 5 days and its not working"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Added lemon crystal light and ELECTROLYTE water to the Suprep mix.  Held my nose and drank it through a straw.  After each long sip I bit into a quartered lemon.  Biting into the lemon really helped.  The ELECTROLYTE water replaced my electrolytes and prevented a headache and chills.  Definitley doable for me.
Last colonoscopy was with Moveit prep and I threw that up."


"When I was in my early 20s I was having a great deal of anxiety and depression. This caused me to have physical problems as well such as
GI problems and headaches and even some insomnia. My M.D. prescribed
Triavil 4mg Trilafon / 10mg Elavil. This was many years ago and I remember that it had a very quick effect on me. Anxiety gone in one day and depression was almost totally eliminated in 4 weeks. I realize now that this is an older
antidepressant/antianxiety medication but I believe it is much under prescribed as it helps not only with the emotional problems but helps with pain and sleep. It is somewhat sedating but one can take bigger doses at night and sleep very well. "


"This drug is amazing. A miracle in pill form. I was scared to take it at first because of the many risks

but it was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I was on this for 6 months and now I'm off it and haven't had acne in years. Best drug ever. Highly recommended for bad acne."


"I was under severe anxiety and depression from intolerable conditions at a hostile job for years until I was so sick their antics pushed me to go. I then went into a deep depression sleeping a ton having lack of energy feeling like nothing was ever going to be right again. I withdrew myself from family, friends and activities. I finally decided to go on Wellbutrin XL after talking it over with my psych because I have multiple health problems and couldn't take other kinds of antidepressants. It saved my life. No weight gain. I'm focused alert not depressed happy and have a job again. I am visiting family and friends too. Not sleeping a lot anymore. Try it."


"I'm a bit disappointed to read dozens of  reviews from women who JUST had the copper IUD inserted that very day of two days before writing said review. I skipped through all of those because frankly you cannot review a product like an IUD if it's literally been inside of you less than 24 hours.

I've had my copper IUD almost 4 years now and I want to mention that my periods are b-r-u-t-a-l. Typically my periods last 10-12 days (if you include that barely-there blood the last few days). Not only are my periods long, but are bloodier than I ever could have imagined. To give you an idea, I'll bleed through a super-plus sized tampon in 2-3 hours.  However, prevents pregnancy to a T and my boyfriend can't feel it."


"over 2 months on provigil.  still tired, can't remember words, yawn all day.  only side effect was appetite suppressant.  which is all I felt.  waiting for Dr to prescribe something else."


"Wasted my money did nothing for me"


"This is the worst I've felt in my life.  I have severe anxiety and nervousness, shaking, chest tightness, nausea, I feel so sad at points in the day, my skin is breaking out terribly, my body looks swollen, my throat feels like it is going to close up when I have panic attacks from this stuff.  The worst of it is when I ovulate and then I go through cycles of being really tired and feeling dizzy. "


"I bought these for dry eyes and I also have many eye floaters, this product has helped me so much and makes my floaters almost go away after I use it for awhile, my vision does get blurry a few mins after use but then goes away! Great product I will buy again and the burning isn't that bad."


"After 6 years with very strong depression that nothing helps, this medicine saved my life. It takes more then a month to kick in and it continues to grow for full year but after you use it you fill strong and don't think about depression anymore. If you have resistant depression you must try this. It's a totally different class than the rest. I also tried all the natural 5HTP, St. John's Wort and the rest and nothing helped."


"I had one shot and came on my period about two weeks late then was on/off quite heavily for the rest of the 3 months, I was on more than I was off in all I think I was off for about 4 days give or take. It’s been a year since I last had the shot and my periods still aren’t fully back to normal, I used to be extremely regular, I now come on twice a month, and never know when am going to come on!
I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone"


"I've taken Vicodin for 12 years for severe migraines and endometriosis and back and neck pain from a car accident. I take 3 per day and it allows me to hold a full time job, without it I don't function due to pain or stand straight even. Prior to that I was fired from jobs due to constant calling in due to pain from all my problems. I am not addicted at only 3 per day but if people are pain-free they will be happier, hold full time jobs, interact with spouse via saving their marriage, also interacting with their children via having better well rounded kids who have a loving outgoing parent or parents, many benefits to this pill. I claim it to be a MIRACLE pill. Doctors have tried me on everything known to man, this is only thing that works."


"Before starting my recovery I took Ambien for sleep which worked well.  After starting recovery for alcoholism the doctor advised I had to stop taking Ambien because it is a narcotic.  Trazadone works great for me, although the 50 mg was not enough for a full nights sleep.  I started with 100mg and am now on 150 mg.  I sleep like a baby and am refreshed in the morning.  I'd recommend this to anyone suffering from insomnia."


"I've had the paragard for 10 years, having it removed tomorrow bc it's time. I'm not replacing it bc I no longer need birth control. I'm apprehensive about the removal bc putting it is was excruciating. Mind bending pain during insertion. But it was worth it. I've had 10 years of worry free birth control that I didn't have to think about. I would absolutely recommend paragard to my daughter in the future"


"This pill works! I had unprotected sex July 4 and 16 hours later took the Ella pill. Believe me I was terrified as I'm about to go away to  college I am NOT prepared to have a child, today I got my period after it being two weeks late, but this pill works. Don't stress it won't help & it won't make anything come faster, it'll work."


"No side effects besides the fact that after a year of taking it nonstop, I started to have major mood swings. "


"I had a UTI not too long ago, and I was prescribed Macrobid. I did not have any crazy side effects. Unfortunately I get them frequently and just started a new round of Macrobid, and this time has been nothing but bad news. I am on day 5 of 7 and I have been extremely nauseous, dizzy, and tired along with sharp abdominal pain. The UTI isn't as severe anymore but I feel like it hasn't been as effective and that it's still lingering. I made sure to eat a decent meal before and drink plenty of water, I think that it's just not reacting well with my system. I am definitely stopping after today and going to the doctor to figure out a new solution."


"I had Nexplanon inserted 3 months ago. I've since had it removed and went back to the pill. To start, I had spotting for 3 wks and then it stopped. However, sex caused the spotting to return for wks. Spotting was the least of my worries as far as side effects. This implant caused great turmoil in my life - mental and physical. In 1 month, I felt irritable and anxious.  The highs/lows of my mood swings left me feeling like I was losing my mind. Insomnia kicked in and signs of depression emerged. I had no motivation or energy. I'm a runner and 2 months after insertion, I began experiencing headaches after a workout. I relied on Advil and sleep aides to deal. I had my doc take it out after 3 months. My life is back to normal now!"


"My girlfriend took Plan-B 13 hours after we had unprotected sex.
It was our first time and, to get better, she was in her fertile days. I didn't finish in her but we're freaking out anyway.
The next few days were horrible, I was googling all the things about levonorgestrel and feeling a lot of anxiety. Even the fact that she wasn't experiencing any side-effects made me more nervous. However, about a week later the period finally came.
Plan-B really works, it's all about taking it ASAP and trying to stay calm."


"I have RSD.  This is a chronic pain disease.  When hydromorphone was added to my medications it alleviated my pain level to the point where for most of the day it was zero. I have 100% better quality of life. I have had this disease for over 12 years."


"Actually I'm pre-diabetic and have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I've been on Victoza since Aug. 2014. I dialed up to 1.8 over two weeks. Was a little sick on my stomach for about a week. Prior to starting I was on 2,500 mg of metformin with no change in weight or blood sugar. As of November 15, I was down 35 pounds.  I'm still on metformin and my doctor and her staff are amazed. I'm very seldom hungry. Sometimes I experience a weird feeling in my stomach and not sure if I hadn't eaten enough or ate the wrong thing and nothing makes the sensation go away except for sleeping. I've lost over 10 inches in my stomach and am complaining because I'm losing so fast that people think I'm sick/clothes are falling off. I've struggled with my weight for years and finally this has worked. At 173lbs."


"Prior to starting this medication I couldn't drive in the car by myself anymore, I could barely go into the convenient store by myself without having a panic attack. After searching for a doctor that could help me  I landed the best psychiatrist who prescribed me Effexor.  I started with a low dose and was also taken Ativan as a crutch to get through until the Effexor worked.   Before starting this I swore that I would never regain control of my life. Effexor change my life and saved me from the helplessness that I felt.  I am now off the Ativan  and have not needed any sense stopping it.   There is freedom beyond panic and anxiety.  This may not work for everybody but it worked for me."


"Great medicine."


"I was SO scared of the bowel preparation.  I gag when I have to gargle with salt water!  So I gathered up my courage and took the first bottle of SUPREP.  It smells like cherry cough syrup but believe me it doesn't even have a hint of fruit flavor.  It tastes like clear salt water.  BUT I was able to do it!  I held my nose and drank as much as I could with each gulp.  In between gulps I would eat a spoon of lemon Italian ice which cut the taste (highly recommend this).  It took about 6 or 7 gulps to get it down and then it works pretty quickly.  If I can do it, anyone can!  I wasn't looking forward to the next dose but at least I knew I could do it.  It's the best prep out there."


"I am on my 2nd shot of my depo, first shot was amazing but the second one which I had on 31 November went completely down hill, I haven't been on my period but when having sexual intercourse with my boyfriend I bleed! I don't even have to have sex. It's every time I orgasm I will bleed, as you can imagine for a 19 year old girl that's pretty embarrassing. I'm not the only one who has suffered in this way and I've also had 2 pregnancies scares. I have regular anxiety and depression also It's literally ruining my life!

Really wouldn't recommend!"


"I used chantix 10 years ago when I had been smoking for 30 years. I did not really want to quit but felt I should with the health issues and all.  It worked for me without my having any willpower.  I had never before tried to quit because I knew I wouldn't  succeed so I was very surprised that this helped me quit."


"My son had strep throat and scarlett fever and in 24 hours just like his doctor said he was so much better."


"I've suffered from depression for the past ten years, and terrible anxiety since a very young age (especially social anxiety). I've never truly felt happy for any significant period of time.  My anxiety can be so severe that I can't even leave my house sometimes. Certain noises, crowds, being out in public, can cause me extreme anxiety which leads to anger and irritability. I also battle alcoholism due to my illnesses. I've been taking Paxil for two weeks and after only 2 days my anxiety VANISHED. My mood is slowly lifting, and I have no desire at all to drink alcohol!! I've even lost weight because I don't stress eat anymore and my appetite has decreased. The first week or so I did feel drowsy/high, but that feeling is going away slowly."


"I got this put in on 12/22/15 and let me tell you from the first couple of weeks it was a complete nightmare. I started to get headaches every other day and migraines, and I NEVER get migraines ever! So that alone almost made me get this taken out. As a couple of months went by I noticed that I would have my period for about a week and half, nothing major!! Around the end of February my period stopped completely with a little spotting here and there! From February to June 30 I didn't have a period. My period started back today and I'm anxious to see how long it lasts! This birth control has its pros and cons but it definitely does its job!! Even with my experience I'll still probably get it taken out, I miss the old me!!!!"


"My experience with this drug was bad.  I had my first iron infusion at 11 in the morning and about 4 in the afternoon I was in the ER.  I had tremendous body aches and headache; I was vomiting very violently (to mention only a few symptoms). At the ER, they did bloodwork and determined that my iron levels were five times the normal.  I see in the other comments from other patients that their injection took them about 2 hours; mine took about 5 minutes"


"Night sweats. Many trips to bathroom during the night, urinating."


"This birth control works fine. I have no complaints about it. However the company just changed their packaging to a larger size which does not fit discreetly into my pocket or makeup pouch as easily. I will find a medication to replace it for this reason or upgrade to an IUD.  It seems like packaging would not be such a big deal but I feel the update was not necessary and I am a very private person."


"It kept my dry skin moisturized but I over used it and spread it all over my legs and ended up with stretch marks on my legs from thinning."


"Combining the Zetia with low dose Atorvastatin has produced good results with my cholesterol numbers.  My Cardiologist added it to my regimen about 4 years ago and it has not added any side effects other than in the wallet.
"


"So far my symtoms have been relieved and I'm feeling way better than before. "


"I was given Lortab for tooth pain; I also have fibromyalgia, and was hoping it would help both.  It did relieve some of the tooth pain, did nothing for the fibro pain.  But I was so anxious, jittery, fearful, heart racing that I never took it again."


"I have suffered from insomnia for many years. This med helps, sometimes I still wakeup in the middle of the night. I usually fall back to sleep 3 to 4 hrs later. My migraines have gotten better and overall I like this med."


"Epiduo hurt. And stung. It hurt when I put it on, it hurt when I put on lotion, and it hurt when I tried makeup. I only put it on at night; washed my face, put on the epiduo for 15 min, then covered myself in Nivea Soft lotion.  (the one that stung the least $4.99)
Today is day 18 and I am THRILLED! I only have scars, which are fading day by day. My skin is still peeling and stings! But it's tolerable. I haven't worn makeup to college or work for the past 3 days for the first time in my entire life, and I looked fine. A guy even hit on me in the parking lot!!! I will continue to use Epiduo even if the peeling face never goes away. It's done wonders!
I'll wait another month and post on here again for the same results. STICK TO IT! TRUST!"


"23/F I was diagnosed with GAD a few months ago and started on generic lexapro, first 5mg/day then up to 10mg/day. It took a few weeks to take effect, but it was incredible at counteracting the anxiety. My self-confidence increased and panic attacks went away completely. The reason I give it a 6/10 and the reason I came off it, however, is because of the sexual side effects. It took away my ability to orgasm, which was extremely frustrating for me. I'm working with my doctor to find a different med to treat my anxiety without the sexual side effects of SSRIs."


"Switched to this after a horrible 4 years on Zovia, which turned me into a highly depressed/anxious version of myself. I was short with everyone, paranoid, and moody. I felt exhausted even after a full night's sleep, couldn't do the things I loved to do anymore, and a bunch of other (not) fun side effects. Had no idea it was the pink pills making me feel so awful until I quit them cold turkey. Gildess is no better. I'm having the same bizarre mood side effects, the same Jekyll/Hyde type of situation going on. My apparently frail psyche and body just can't handle hormonal birth control, and if you are the same way I'd steer clear and go the natural/holistic method of dealing with debilitating periods, which is where I'm going next."


"Plendil was effective in controlling my blood pressure. The only reason I am not taking it is because I can not purchase this medicine anymore due to the company discontinuing the product. I have had problems finding a substitute for this medicine. If anything is available on the market, I need help."


"Well I just got the Skyla put in yesterday morning, so far I've been quite crampy but it's a little different than regular period cramps, it's like I can feel the IUD in there and maybe it just needs to get situated but I feel like it's not sitting comfortably yet. During my appt. everything was fine although I read a bunch of reviews and psyched myself out, but the doctor explained the process to me and answered my questions. The whole application process was just crampy although one of the applicators opened prematurely right in my cervix which caused a little pain (My doctor said she hadn't ever seen that before) Overall, don't let people with low pain tolerances affect your decision about getting Skyla. Just be prepared for cramps! :)"


"I have been using this product since I was a teenager and it works and changes lives... Too bad the company knows this and the price has jumped in my area from $10 to $40 in the course of 15 years...

Some advice:

- apply to area and wrap in clear plastic wrap overnight. It will increase effectiveness 100x. It would take weeks to stop sweating initially until I learned this trick."


"I quit smoking 12/7/2007 while using Chantix. I have not touched a cigarette since.  I do not crave cigarettes.  I do not think about them. I tried everything around to quit but not until Chantix did it take. I love the freedom from not worrying if I have enough cigarettes and I can't imagine the cost of it now. I remember it caused some nausea and vivid dreams. I wasn't a happy person while quitting but the end goal was so worth it. NO COUGH ANYMORE! I almost forgot about that annoying smoker's cough. It goes away. It really does. Wishing everyone good luck and good health."


"Been on it for ten years sugars are normal now. Plus the first seven months  I lost 100 lbs. In the 10 years     since  weight has stabilized  at 90 lbs   loss. NEVER came back. 5'7" 148 lbs, can eat too!"


"I've been using Microgestin 1/20 now for 2 weeks, I'm going into my 3rd. At first I noticed that my breast were very sore but within the past couple of days I haven't noticed it as much. I also know that I have one week left of this pack and I've already started my period, as well as the cramping.  And I haven't been as hungry as usual.  I can live with all of these "side effects" as I guess you would call it.  But the one that I haven't gotten used to which happens to be the worst one for me and that is dizziness.  Its not an everyday thing but its happened twice now in 2 weeks, twice in a week. The first time it lasted for most of the day, the second time it was just in the morning.  I have a doctors appointment at the end of this week so we'll see."


"Only medication I've ever taken that actually works like a charm. It is expensive but worth it. I've suffered with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for 8 years and have never had anything to relieve my symptoms."


"Towards  the end of the week taking med, I was starting to have diarrhea. During the whole time taking it  I had the taste of throw up in my mouth."


"My 12 year old daughter has had facial and motor tics, but since she started on clonidine it's like she no longer has Tourette's!"


"Adipex works great. It was so powerful I had to make myself eat sometimes."


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


"I'm 28, never been pregnant. I have had the Mirena for 3 months now. It wasn't the best of experiences at first. Insertion was painful but the pain was very brief. I had some bad cramping for a week or so and non-stop bleeding for nearly a full month. However, slowly but surely, it got better. I finally stopped bleeding and only occasionally do I have some spotting - nothing a pantyliner can't handle. So far, I've had two real periods; the last one was a lighter flow than I've *ever* had though it did last more days. The pain during menstruation is a lot less intense then pre-IUD. Sex is worry-free now that I know for sure that I run a very low risk of getting pregnant. I'm very happy with it!"


"I had nexplanon and was irregular. Took tests once when I I'm pregnant. Tests showed negative"


"When first taking this I experienced a surge of energy in the morning, with a feeling of euphoria that lasted for an hour or so. It was easy to concentrate on one task but very difficult to move from one task to another.
After an adjustment in the tablet
15mg - twice a day to
10mg - three times a day I was able to function from morning through evening without the euphoria. It took more than a year to be able to complete a task and move onto another.
Today, I have some tolerance but the change in behaviors (from negative to positive) has remained to the degree that I would not want to change medications."


"Can take in the middle of the day and it doesn't even make me sleepy."


"I started this birth control in January 2016. I am now  18. I have had a steady boyfriend through this time so I figured this would be the best choice- especially since i can't swallow pills. All I can say is it was not bad for the first 8 months (short periods, weight loss) but somewhere around my 9th month taking it, I started to experience terrible anxiety, depression, loss of my sense of self, and really darkt houghts. My cycle also began to alternate. I would receive a period one month, then then the next month, it would be gone. (which caused paranoia over pregnancy... not fun). There was not a day my boobs weren't sore and my cramps and back pain were awful. Do seriously, don't take this pill if you have a history with anxiety or depression!"


"I love this medicine. It is so nice to not have that feeling of having to "go" all the time...especially when you are traveling. The one down side is sometimes I can't even tell when I have to go and have to push on my lower stomach to see if I do."


"My problem is waking up after 2 hrs deep sleep and unable to get back to sleep. Was prescribed lorazapam 1mg. I cut the pill in half and lay it on my end table. When I awaken from my 2hrs sleep I reach out grab one of the halves and back to sleep for 4 hrs. Generally wake up refreshed. Works well for me. I don't take this on a regular basis. 30 pills will last me 3mos."


"Almost done with my first pack. So far everything has been great with the exception of headaches every now and then. I am hoping after the second pack I won't get them anymore. No weight gain (which happened on every other pill I've tried), no moodiness, just a headache every now and then."


"I've had a persistent UTI and been through 2 rounds of oral antibiotics and it kept coming back despite having had a culture done to determine what would be effective. Once the pain got bad enough that the pyridium was no longer effective, I called the doctor and begged for help while still waiting for the second culture results. They gave me a shot of Rocephin. By morning I felt 85% better. The second day, I still feel a twinge of symptom here and there, but feel soooo much better. The shot hurts, yes. But it's not THAT bad, and there is was lidocaine in my injection to help with that. Powerful stuff - so glad they gave it to me!"


"My birth defect had shut down my bladder to the extent of not being able to urinate. Long story short,I had an infection so bad my bladder was 3x the normal size. So seeing how I couldn't go,it my body decided that it will send everything back out the way it came. If my wife didn't make me goto the hospital,my bladder would have exploded,they gave me a shot of this medication and it stop the vomiting in minutes. Well I am better and have a prescription for this,and have to self Cath because of the damage to my bladder. If I can't go backwards in time,I would have listen to my wife instead of being a procrastinator."


"For a few days its take major energy at 2.5 mg, but later its make me ever tired and sleepy. I don't know what this drug work."


"This works well if I take it when the Migraine is just starting.  It will stop the migraine but I may still get a head ache but it wont be debilitating."


"I am on the third week, I quit on day 7 like it suggests. It is really working! I have not had a cigarette in 9 days. I was a pack a day smoker for about 13 years. I call it my "magic little pill". I tried quitting cold turkey and almost lost my mind! Chantix just keeps me calm and I don't have the cravings I did when I tried on my own. I only got the nausea when I failed to eat with the medication. Dreams are a little more vivid, but all in all, no side effects for me. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to quit!"


"I had my insertion a week ago at a planned parenthood location.   I was nervous after reading all the reviews - but honestly - it was nothing.  Let it be said - it was uncomfortable (like a yearly exam) but not painful.   I had a few cramps for 2 days but nothing unmanageable.   I was on my period (which the doc said helps) and took 600mg ibuprofen an hour before the visit.   I have been spotting ever since (only a week) but no pain or cramps."


"PROS: Discreet, no pregnancies for 5 years, no daily pill reminders, covered by insurance.
CONS: BV LIKE CLOCKWORK!  My period remained the same ( 5 days) which could be a pro for some.
 **Prior to mirena I was on the pill. After my first child I knew I wanted to go long term birth control. Apparently it works but I just can't deal with the constant BV. When I have intercourse with my husband he CAN feel the strings inside. If you have a sensitive system like myself, I'd look into other forms of birth control first."


"Recently got off it because...well I ran out. But I love this brand it does the job & no side affects :)"


"I had unprotected sex the day before ovulation.  I wasn't aware at that time I was extremely fertile. I took Plan B within 6 hours after intercourse. I can't lie, I absolutely knew I was pregnant!  I had all the symptoms. I was nauseated,  headaches, swollen breasts, and I cramped daily. I was so ecstatic to see my period come on the same day it was expected! Birth control pills will be started today!  Thanks Plan B!"


"I was on Microgestion Fe 1/20 for around 10 months due to migraines. I was constantly having breakthrough bleeding, mood swings, horrible anxiety which I had never had before, and my acne had come back. I switched to Glidess Fe 1.5/30 because it was free through my insurance and all of my symptoms cleared up. After going back to school, where I do not have my normal pharmacy, I got put on Microgestion Fe 1.5/30 because they do not carry Glidess. My doctor did not clear this, but the pharmacist told me that I should have no problems. WRONG! My anxiety came back full swing and that is not helpful being a college nursing student. I am constantly tired and I am eating like crazy. I am switching back to my old medication asap."


"I was taking Tri-Previfm, and then without my permission CVS switched me to this, claiming it was the same exact thing. Well I'm not so sure. Since starting this I've had a bunch of symptoms I've never had on the other one like rapid heart rate, pins and needles headaches, and frequent infections. I never got pregnant and it regulated my periods. But other than that... This stuff is garbage. Not worth it."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Not that bad, really.  The lemony salty drink is best taken in the smallest cold 8 oz glass you can find.  I think it helps psychologically.  I tried it first in a big glass and thought I'd never finish.  A small 8 oz juice glass is easy to slug down.  I think it also helps to pour the stuff into the glass and chill it so it's as cold as possible. Take a slug of warm water and swish it in your mouth immediately after to remove the lingering taste.  I got into a routine.  Drink, wait about 5 minutes, head to the loo and repeat.  Wasn't as bad as the stuff they sprayed in my throat just before the endoscopy.  So man up and get it over with."


"I am 37 years old and have been suffering extremely severe debilitating back pain for ten years after being hit by a drunk driver. I was always athletic and it has been heart breaking for me to spend the last ten years barely active and dying in pain everyday. After my doctors refused to give me anymore pain medication and just let me suffer; I went to a rheumatologist who prescribed this as one of my medications. This is the only one I have taken so far. I came back from a walk crippled over in pain crying. I took one 200mg dose of this medication and was able to comfortably and actively live out the rest of my day. This medication is a god send as far as I'm concerned. That was only after one dose!"


"My son decided to place himself in rehab for 30days for opiate dep. Had been on suboxone for 6mos. Addicts know how to manipulate medications.  After 30days of being clean and intense inpatient rehab he went with the Vivitrol shot when exiting.  It was great! No cravings, he felt great. Upon seeing his new psych in outpatient he warned my son about the dangers of Vivitrol to your liver and would only agree to give him one more shot maybe two after the initial shot. He had two shots total after rehab and is doing amazingly well. If you want to remain sober you have to have the mindset to stay sober. The least amount of time you are on this medication the better. Make sure you have liver function tests done. Vivtrol works"


"Improved the physical and mental symptoms I had with anxiety/depression but in a reduced dose. More than 10 mg would keep me too drowsy and make me forgetful. I have been on it for 19 years and have tried to get off it several times but my physical symptoms (stomach cramping) return after a few days. The generic form was far less effective. Does cause constipation with me."


"Took this medication, as Vestura was no longer available... I began having yeast infection symptoms on a monthly basis to having full reoccurring yeast infections monthly. Finally concluded Gianvi birth control pills were the cause after quitting Gianvi altogether.  Everyone's body is different. Vestura wasn't perfect but it worked better for me than Gianvi. Awful! 6 months of yeast infections!"


"Three months and no signs of virus, off of Viekira Pak. One more blood test in three months"


"I first started with ro accutane to get my acne away and then went onto dianette but that gave me a blood clot. I was on Yasmin for 2 years and my skin wasn't perfect as I had scars but it was a hell of a lot better. Recently I had an a miscarriage so obviously wasn't taking my pill for a while, and now I'm back taking Yasmin (it's been a week) my chin is absolutely sick looks like a pizza! But I know it gets better so just hold on in there guys "


"I read so many negative things about this antibiotic that I very nearly didn't even take it because I was so scared! Just want to share with others out there that every body reacts differently and for me I had no side effects and felt no different so don't be too stressed out! I was on 750mg a day (3 x 250mg) for 10 days and everything went fine. I was having a probiotic every night before I went to bed and continued the probiotics for a couple of weeks after I finished the course of antibiotics so perhaps that helped. If you've never taken it before, try and relax and just know that you are not guaranteed to have a bad reaction."


"I can suddenly swell up and not be able to move, especially in hands with the inability to even walk.
While I have pain medication it simply does does not work (though others seek this medication I take).I will go from a wheelchair to walking around in less than a few hours. I will be in tears from the pain. I happened to have an attack while visiting my Dr. 6 hours away, he had saw me the day before for a test and I was using a walker but now I was incapable of moving and was using a wheelchair. He order Home health and PT. I asked for Medrol dose pack and by the time I got home the symptoms had alleviated to the point I was at 90%. Amazed at how quick it works and the expression I get when I don't ask for pain meds."


"Used the product to empty the colon prior to a Colonoscopy.  Seemed to work well, no discomfort."


"I had epilepsy surgery last year and I have suffered with headaches ever since. After over a year of trying different remedies my doctor prescribed Elavil. I was so tired of having headaches everyday that I was willing to try anything. I take one 25mg tablet at bedtime and my headaches have gone away. It's like I never had them. Elavil has been a blessing to me."


"When I first started NuvaRing the doctor gave me 3 rings. Within that time I loved it. However when I actually picked up the RX for it I'm kinda hating it. At times it's very hard to put on, anytime I use the bathroom it slides out halfway. This time I don't think it's in right no matter how many times I adjust it. I have also been on my period since the time I put it in which was two weeks ago, and the cramps have been extremely painful. I thought BC was supposed to help with cramping? On the plus side I do like that I don't have to keep switching it out, and I have definitely seen alot of improvement in my acne. I'm willing to try it out for another month and see how it goes if not I would like to try the depoProvera injection."


"My son has had asthma since he was born. Now doctor has given singulair and it has helped alot. You can tell a big difference when he stops taking them."


"I've never taken birth control before and I was given this by my doctor because I have heavy bleeding and menstrual cramps. I only took this pill for 3 weeks and they have been the worst 3 weeks of my life. I've struggled with depression but this pill worsens my depression. I've had panic attacks and my anxiety is almost unbearable. I'm always nauseous and I'm unable to eat and as a result I've lost a ton of weight. As someone that's already very skinny this is not a good side affect. I went from being a pretty active, healthy individual to a depressed always tired and irritable mess. I've been off the pill for about a week and I'm still experiencing symptoms. Hopefully they will go away"


"I have been using the patch for about a week now and it has been very effective. I do have to use sports tape to keep the patch in place but other than that it works. I suffer from fibromyalgia and it relieves my pain."


"I had severe constipation today and my stool was stuck I couldn't even sit down I had to pull what I could get out on my own in order to walk to get some milk of magnesia it helped me preety quickly I was so severely constipated I thought I was going to pass out as I was straining so badly I strongly recommend milk of magnesia it saved me a trip to the emergency room I will let other's no it's a terrific product for constipation thank you milk of magnesia you gave me the relief I needed after 6 hrs of extremely constipation I was in so much pain and you helped me get through it thank you so much I am so grateful for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"Very effective in controlling my blood sugars. I have had A1Cs 6.0 and lower over the last 3 years taking 1500mg/day. Recently company changed insurance and I no longer have perscription coverage, at a cost of $350/month I am looking for generic version now"


"I'm 15 years old. I'm a sophomore in high school. I started taking the Depo-Provera shot around my freshman year. It actually hasn't given me any bad side effects beside loss of hair, I haven't lost a lot a hair, and mood swings. My freshman year I weighed 155 and now I weigh 119. I'm 5'3 and haven't gained a pound from this shot yet. I hate shots but it's definitely worth taking for having no period. I haven't experienced depression or any of the other side effects except the ones listed above. But not everyone is the same. I would recommend talking to your doctor about it before jumping into taking it!"


"Plan B really does work , it's a huge dose of hormones . Hospitals use this pill for rape traumas , it's effective if taken as directed . So take it within the 24-mark. The best advice is don't stress , don't surf the web looking for answers , I did and I was miserable for TWO MONTHS . I actually took two of these pills (which I do not suggest unless advised otherwise by a dr or pharmacist) I did because I was worried about me being 170 pounds it wouldn't work , I bled two weeks later. Took tests every week , all negative , took a blood test , negative , I got my period two months later .  It will come , take precautions , don't worry (easier said than done ) and talk to a healthcare provider on what happened."


"Just started 200mg for borderline personality disorder and anxiety. Sleepy all the time, but fell calm. Only problem is this weird dream-wake derealization state I've been in. Maybe I'm just too tired to get angry or feel rage. Maybe I'm just too tired to worry a lot. For temporary use, I give it a thumbs up if you have a few days to just rest and give your head a break. For everyday use as directed? I don't know. I can't imagine having to work and socialize like this. I also take lexapro, ativan, and Seroquel."


"Had tennis elbow started taking napoxen the pain started to gradually decrease after a couple of days ,i also felt very tierd and not much energy falling asleep in the day .I stoped taking then ,i really drained me ."


"This is the worst experience ever. I think all reviews are accurate and they need to take this off the shelves before it cause real damage and a lawsuit."


"My dad took Harvoni but two months after he started to lose all this weight and they found a large Tumor on his liver.  The Harvoni caused extreme fatigue and with the cancer tumor it wiped him out in 6 months.  There are many many people who had this reaction to Harvoni.  After all this I would go for naturopathic treatments instead. ."


"I read the other comments and decided to try it.  It was wonderful! I've been using Neurontin for nerve pain down my leg for 3 months. It's great to know it serves more than one purpose.  Thanks everyone."


"I have been using this pill for years and I love it.  No side effects whatsoever."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I was given several different samples of prenatal vitamins. I decided on this one because it seemed to not make me as sick or constipated at the others."


"My eyes felt better FAST.  My pain went away quickly after my surgery."


"Just got back from my 90 day (really 87 days) Belviq status exam.  So here is the data from the doctors office:

Weight from 261.5 to 236.0.  That is down 25.5 pounds or 9.75%.

Glucose from 102 to 91 ml/dl.  That goes from prediabetic to normal range.

A1c was 5.5%, but I do not have a baseline (0 day) value.

HDL for 23 to 30.  Still low, but a lot better.

I also had one of my lowest BP readings in years at the doctors office.

My advice to new Belviq patients is that after starting Belviq my hunger goes away before I feel full.  That is a new experience for me.  Pay attention to the lack of hunger to know when to stop eating."


"Been very unwell for 10 days struggled to swallow fluids severe pain in throat and ears. Within first 24 hours huge improvement much more comfortable and swallowing food without wincing. Maybe too early for side effects but such a relief."


"I had irritable bowel syndrome for 6 years and in the last 3 years it was preventing me from having a good quality of life. I was too anxious to do so many things because I couldn't trust my body to hold it together for any length of time. I tried hypnosis, mindfulness and naturopathic treatments but then asked my doctor about SSRI antidepressants. The first few weeks are awful but stick with it. I was in emergency because I had a panic attack and thought I was dying. I am now on 15mg Lexapro. It has been 3 months and this is truly a miracle. I feel totally normal and feel every emotion except I just think and ruminate less. I don't obsess anymore about leaving the house-I just leave. The drug has also been constipating for me, which after 6 years of irritable bowel syndrome is incredible. Highly recommend. "


"Me and my mother were put on this medication at the same time and while she loved it and had almost no side effects, it caused everything from a constant upset stomach and nausea to insanely scary nightmares for me. It didn't help my depression or anxiety at all."


"I've taken Stribild for a month now. After 2 weeks labs show that my viral load dropped from 100 000 to 860. Had diarrhea few times, and still have sometimes, but it's ok. My blood pressure raising, last time it was 157, my doctor gave me a prescription for Lisinopril. New labs scheduled for 07.12.13. we'll see!"


"Took this med orally 4x a day for ten days after receiving two injections of it. Infection in a surgery incision was the cause. First round of a different antibiotic wasn't effective. I didn't take any precautions like eating or not laying down right away as I had to take it in the middle of the night. Didn't have any real side effects other than getting sick once and that was really unpleasant. Hard to get the capsules down without them getting stuck in my throat. Been off them for a few weeks now and my infection is finally gone and my wound is heeling. It also helped with the pain from my wound that was throbbing before this med. Over all I'm happy with the turn out and everyone reacts differently so it may work great like it did for me."


"I was skeptical since I have tried every possible remedy out there. I was simply amazed that I actually have been sleeping 7 to 8 hours straight without any nasty morning hangover like I had experienced with the others. I can't believe that I could actually take this every night. No addiction!"


"I have been on this medicine since October 22, today is November 15. My appetite feels more controlled throughout the day, but I am only down two pounds. I have experienced serious nausea, vomiting and lightheaded episodes. All of the reading I have done, several people say stick with it and it will subside. I am going to stay with it as long as I can and hope that the side effects decrease, or at best go away completely. Because I typically feel this way everyday, I have very little energy and do not want to work out. I have tried drinking tons of water (which is helpful anyway), protein snacks, carbs snacks (crackers or toast) in an effort to stop the nausea. Unfortunately, nothing seems to help but time and waiting it out."


"My husband was prescribed this medication for his migraines because he gets one almost everyday and they almost cripple him. I had advised him not to take it because it also will reduce his blood pressure which was already almost to low, (which is just because he was born with a smaller heart). We called his doctor and told them that he was worried about it and asked about our other concerns. In which the doctor then told him there is nothing to worry about and that he will be just fine. As of last night he took his 3rd dose of this medication. Right now he is in the hospital ICU department because when he went in earlier his heart rate was between 30 and 40. If you have any problems with your heart rate or pressure, talk to a pharmacist."


"All my life I have had headaches. I am now 66 years old. I have been treated by many Drs. Neurologists have tried  preventive drugs such as Inderol, Topamax, and Amitriptyline with no good results. I have had more relief with Butalbital  (Fioricet) than anything else I have taken.  "


"Ex football player through NCAA and a little bit beyond. In my 40's after years of suffering I had a lumbar fusion followed 2 years later by cervical fusion..been on opiate pain relievers for 12 years. Of course many are familiar with what can happen with these medicines over a long period. Long story short, I am off the opiates, but still have my pain at age 56. Got Doc to prescribe Gabapentin. This is the first week and it's gotten rid of all the stiffness (I seize up muscularly with physical activity) and knocked out all but localized pain at the surgery sites. So I add Naproxen Sodium which also adds to the absorption of gabapentin. I'm functioning."


"I have been taking baclofen for a few months for severe spasms and it is very effective with no drowsiness."


"I've only been on Loestrin 24 FE for three weeks. Prior to starting these pills, I hadn't had my period since July 1, 2011. By the second week of taking these pills, I've had severe flooding, horrible cramps, diarrhea, and my skin is blotchy. My doctor told me that I would probably start my period or at least "spot" but I have extremely heavy flow right now. I realize that maybe this is due to the endometriosis that built up from my PCOS and uterine fibroid issue, but I had no idea it would feel like Niagara Falls. I am also waking up every night around 3AM and having nightmares. All started as soon as I took these pills."


"Burns like crazy! Never try this! Can't stop itching and I can't sleep"


"I absolutely love this Medication. After being in a car accident I suffer from permanant back and neck damage. I am also a hair dresser. In order to work I will have to be on Pain killers and muscle relaxers the rest of my life. I started by taking Percocet and grew an allergy to all opiate derivatives. As a result my doctor perscribed me Robaxin. My family has a high tolerance to pain medication so I was afraid that it would not work. I was pleasantly surprised. It worked wonderful and I could still function and focus. An added plus is that there is no possibility of dependancy. I love it."


"60mg 2x a day after 3 surgeries has allowed me to live a normal life. Also enables me to work a very physical job. Its great"


"Okay ladies , I promised I would come on here and share my experience. I'm 21 years old and I took the pill within three hours of having sex. I weigh 115 pounds.

The pill WORKED but it will scare the crap out of you. MY PERIOD WAS 40 DAYS LATE!!! I had every pregnancy sign you can think of - nausea, sore breasts, headaches, etc. I was always in pain. The pill works just have to be patient."


"I was on birth control for 8 months when my husband and I decided to try and get pregnant. I stopped taking birth control mid March, I started taking prenatal vitamins mid march, and one and a half months later I still never got my period so I decided to go see my obgyn. She did blood work and everything came out normal so she decided to put me on provera once every day for 10 days. Three days after finishing provera I started my period and it lasted 7 days. After I finished my period on June 6th my husband and I were sexually active and  my cycle should've started around June 30th but I still haven't started my period so first thing this morning  I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I dont know what's going on..."


"I've been on this pill for 2 years, when I first started using it is didn't see immediate change right away, but I continued to use the pill gradually and started to see great changes. I do not have break outs and I use to have extreme unbearable cramps where I could not walk nor stand, now my cramps are very tolerable and lasts for half a day with the  help of Tylenol strength. My period comes on Wednesday and is off by Friday every month. This pill is really good and I will continue to use it."


"I was given this to try for menstrual migraines. (I only get my migraines the first day of, the last day of, and sometimes halfway between periods.) While it did get rid of my migraine, the pain got A LOT worse before it went away. That was the one and only time I used this medication."


"I've been taking Sertraline for 5 days now, and they have been the craziest tablets I've taken. I have severe anxiety, ocd and the doctors aren't sure weather I have a personality disorder also. Within hours of taking these tablets for the first time they gave me chronic diarrhoea, it gave me little aches and pains everywhere and I felt very irritable. I felt like I had taken something illegal it was horrible! But I've read so many times to wait it out and you will feel better. and I have! I realised yesterday how calm I am around people now (usually I'm seriously on edge and can't calm down due to the fact that the table isn't inline with the sofa haha) but its stopped me from noticing these things so much, I think I need to hold out the symptoms."


"I was given ambien 5mg tablets while I was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery and ambien actually kept me wide awake!"


"So much better than past preparations.  The taste isn't bad at all: just sweet water. Much better than lemon-lime products in the past.  The results are predictable with no racing to the bathroom.  Not to be too graphic, but even the "going" is better. It's more like turning on a faucet than an explosion.  All in all, a huge advancement in bowel prep."


"I am a 48 yr male and have been taking as directed 50mg day for 6 months, blood pressure now 125/80 and stable. I drink approximately 1 liter of whiskey every two days and notice no other side effects other than I cannot maintain an erection for as long as before taking this. I should mention that I've been drinking this amount of rye since I was 20yrs old and that this is the only medicine I take. "


"I am 42 years old have had recuring shingles since I was 12 years old. Two years ago I had Zostavax vaccine at age 40. My insurance would not pay because I was not over age 60. I have had shingles at least a dozen times since vaccine."


"Remeron worked for me for maybe a month or so, but I then began becoming very angry and full of rage for very little reason, if any! I had expressed my feelings with my Dr. and he said he was not really familiar with these side effects.
After a few weeks, I realized I should google these feelings and wow. Exactly the same feelings I was going through.
"


"I've been using this pill for quite sometime now, I'm 24 years old and this is the only birth control I'm allowed on since I had a stroke back in 2012. And honestly it's terrible I don't stop bleeding on it. I actually use this pill to stop my bleeding. How so exactly? Well I use it to get a period, and when I stop using it my period stops for about a month or two and I have to take the pill to get my period again. It's a pain in the ass and confusing! However, I've never given the pill a fair shot, I've only stayed faithful on it for 2 months and my period wouldn't stop so I just stopped using it and my period went away. Idk what else to use."


"it is important to know medications affect everyone differently

 Your genetic chemical makeup is not the same as sue or bill. FYI you are encouraged to drink lots of water when taking Bactrim not everyone will have the same symptoms it is a sulfa drug so if you have an allergy to Sulfa drugs then you might want to tell your doctor let him know and they can prescribe you something else only thing I've had symptom wise with bactrim is a headache  and ibuprofen will normally help with the body aches and headache but if you are having any adverse reaction it's a good idea to let your physician or pharmacy know. Zofran is good for nausea and benedryl may be effective with hives or rash but if you have any concerns please consult a medical profes"


"This medication helped a little in the beginning, but then made me worse over time. With each increase dose the doctor insisted I'd start feeling better. By the time we got to 15 mg, I wasn't sleeping, I was having peripheral hallucinations, and emotional outbursts. I tried to tell my psychiatrist, but he seemed too invested in keeping his patients on this med. So I went to see my primary, who knows me well. I was an emotional wreck. I told him I had already dosed the med back down to 10 mg. He told me to come off the drug and gave me something for sleep. Perhaps there are people this med really helps, but it made everything in my life so much worse. So I fired my psychiatrist and will be seeing a new one soon"


"I started Adipex back in 2011 and within 5 months I was down 40lbs, looked and felt amazing. I'm 5'11", male and started at 250lbs, At the peak of Adipex working I got down to 175lbs with minimal working out but I worked at a job on my feet all day and active. In 2012 I left my active job for a desk job and stopped smoking... I gained around 20lbs... unfair but understandable. I was then told by my doctor that she wanted to take me off of it because I had plateaued and she didn't think it was working... 2 years later and I'm up to 265lbs, and miserable. I've started Adipex again but it doesn't appear to be working... I'm drastically less active but I'm seeing no change. Great for short time... but it will catch up when you stop."


"I started taking this medication to fight anxiety, especially before going to bed when the mind is racing.  It definitely helps, but I am completely lethargic the next day, and I only took half a pill.  However, I've also only taken it occasionally for one day here and there, not on a regular basis, so my body may not have time to adjust like others mention on here."


"I was prescribed this medication in a dosage of 500mg for severe back spasms that kept me from walking. It allowed me to walk a little bit longer before the pain kicked in.  I rated it low because it mildly affected the spasms/pain while making me immediately sleepy."


"This medicine has been very effective for my pain relief. I have had severe back pain for 10 years and it is the best pain reliever I have taken."


"I have had depression for about 13 years know or I guess it started out as anxiety. I have been on every medication you can name. Most had side effects and had to be switched but nothing serious. I was on Celexa for about ten years and then about three years ago it just stopped working. That is when I was diagnosed with major depression. I don't have a marriage anymore after twenty-two years, lost my job after nine years, can hardly get out of bed most days. I'm not living living, I'm serviving. My doctor put my on Fetzima and after not seeing any improvement at 40mg he moved me up to 80mg. I started not being able to urinate without forcing it out and had to go every two hours. I have never had bladder problems before. I got off the pills"


"Had a secondary staph infection from an athlete's foot problem.  Went to ER, gave me some antibiotics (forgot the name).  Five days passed and no relief; saw a dermatologist and he put me on the Levaquin.  First night was like World War III in my foot.  Almost ran back to the ER, but you could feel this medicine working.  Two days on the pill and swelling and redness subsided significantly.  Third day, I could walk again and zero pain from the infection.  This medicine works. Now, I'll admit that I've had sore Achilles tendons and I could feel the medicine working its way up into my knees.  However, considering the pain I was in, I am okay with the trade off. Very expensive medicine - but works!"


"I am 20 years old and I have ADD. I have been on every medication under the sun. I've been on the lower dose of Vyvanse for about a year and 1 week on the 40 mg.
It has turned me into a monster. Side effects, I have been temperamental, irritated, easily annoyed. Mean to people close to me for no reason. Tired of school, want to give up school, dizzy. Feel like on autopilot going through the motions not really there, don%u2019t care anymore, isolation. My eye sight has been whack since I started higher dose. Have had chest pain not often every once in a while. I am happy during the day but at night. "


"I have been on the depo shot since October 2014. After my first shot I bled for 2 months straight. I consulted with my doctor and she said it was normal. I got my second shot and I bled 6 weeks straight. Within the 2 shots I started noticing acne, headaches all the time, and lots of anxiety/fatigue/dizziness and I find myself being hungry all the time. I told myself that I would not get a 3rd shot. I have severe cramps and I have not bled since the 6 weeks after I got my 2nd shot so I was happy about not having a period. I decided to go ahead and get the 3rd shot. I have not had any bleeding but the acne and headaches, anxiousness, dizziness, and fatigue are all still happening. I don't like what the shot is doing to my body therefore I"


"This medication was prescribed to me in may (2015) 150mg as needed to treat anxiety but my pharmacist also said that it also treats allergies such as skin conditions. I take 50mg at night for sleep because of anxiety and I sleep really good at night. I usually have a eczema breakout in really cold winters and humid summers. Ever since I started this med I have not had any skin allergies. This med also works well for detox such as xanax and clonopin addiction. People who whine about this med not working its probably because u haven't been on it long enough for the med to work I asked my pharmacist about it"


"I could not find one cream, scrub, or cleanser that worked. I tried Benzaclin and it cleared my face up within a month and haven't had a break out since. It's amazing! I love it!"


"I received this injection last night at VA hospital in Philadelphia. I just couldn't deal with peripheral neuropathy pain anymore. I hate narcotic medicine. So this was a great alternative it took a lot of pain away, I still feel light tingles but nowhere near what is was feeling prior. I have MRI done to see where my nerve is trapped. I hope it's something I can resolve permanately, My girlfriend ask to describe pain, I told her basically it's a never ending root canal, and she immediately felt horrible for me. I urge people who have this don't delay treatment it jus gets unbearable, but this shot does work decently. However, it won't last more than couple days so make sure u get scripts for meds needed until u get MRI done."


"Saphris has slowed my thoughts down a lot! I have the black cherry flavor. I do feel suicidal, but I felt that way before the meds. The only problem I have is the weight gain. I've been on Saphris for almost 2 months and have gained 20lbs. I find it hard to shed the weight."


"Unfortunately my experience has not been good. I did a Sunday start and have been bleeding for over 3weeks. I have had horrible stomach aches, skin breaking out, bloating and mood swings. "


"Been using this drug for 2 years .I used to have bad pain in lower back and numbness in my legs due to nerve damage .started with 30mg now only take 10 mg .it works for me virtually pain free .do have dry mouth and sometimes have bad dreams but I can manage that as I can walk without pain and still go to work."


"This birth control has been nothing but great. I used to have the worst period, and now they are short and my cramps aren't as bad. My skin is clear, and I'm not pregnant!! I give this a thumbs up!"


"Best decision I ever made! I'd suffered from really terrible acne for years and tried every single thing possible to try and clear it up, I'd heard of isotretinoin, and thought of it as a last resort due to all the scary side effects I'd read about, which put me off for some time, but at last I decided to try it, and I wish I'd tried it sooner! I went on the treatment over the holidays because I've heard the first couple of months are the toughest, and I could go days without having to wear makeup. I found that I got very dry lips,skin, some aches, a few nose bleeds and the occasional mood swing within the first month, and yes my acne did get worse for the first 2 months, and its not easy but then I hit the 3rd month and it completely cleared!"


"I have been on 150MG XL for 6 months now.  I was prescribed it because of the death of my teenage son and also the end of a relationship.  I was diagnosed with moderate depression.  I felt like a zombie with very little motivation.  I always work out and have managed to stay active but still things were not right.  I went on this and it has made all the difference.  I will agree there is apathy while on it.  The highs are not as high but the lows are not as low.  You just have a quiet balance in your life and it does not feel like you are on any sort of medication.  I attempted to go off of it and could already tell I felt sad so trying another 6 months.  I did not lose any weight but I am pretty thin already.  Wonderful medicine for me."


"Spring allergies are HORRIBLE this year; they came earlier and are very bad eg. congestion, dry cough, itchy ears and throat and swollen glands; oh yes and the itchy watery burning eyes.  I am miserable to say the least !!! Runny nose, and sneeze !!! OMG I thought I was going to lose my head I was sneezing so hard.  I started taking Advil Cold and Sinus Liquid Gel tabs and voila !!! The next day it started to clear up-granted I was blowing my nose a lot but that was just because the congestion was clearing up !!! My ears , eyes, and sneezing got a lot better and the post nasal drip was better too. I swear by this stuff and always try to keep some on hand in case of a sudden in the middle of the night cold starting...This stuff is GREAT !!! :)"


"I have been taking this medication for approximately 5 weeks. Along with smaller portions/better food choices, and increased exercise, I have lost 19 pounds.  It seems to be working well. I don't know if it's the medication or the exercise, but I have experienced some jitteriness, over-stimulation, insomnia and menstrual upset.  The worst effect would have to be the taste.  I definitely get the dryness/unpleasant taste, but it's nothing that extra water and some mouthwash can't fix.

Overall, I am EXTREMELY satisfied with this medication, and would reccommend it."


"I have been on the NuvaRing for almost three years now and have never had any problems with it. The first month I had it in my sex drive was a bit low, and I felt tired. After that month I wad back to normal and now it's great. I lost a bit of weight too, which I didn't mind but I didn't like it so much as I already felt too thin. Thankfully though my breasts grew a cup size! What a miracle! As for acne, I didn't notice any change in my skin. I love the ring."


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


"Took clairthromycin for four weeks 500mg 2x a day which seemed to strong to me.  Same metallic taste a lot of people get, it is medicine so I expect that. It gave me dizziness, tiredness, and nightmares galore, I have lost of sleep from all the nightmares. I actually felt really out of it.  I took probiotics, and ate yogurt, and after I stopped taking it three weeks later, I began have severe stomach pain, I have read it can cause so serious issues with the liver so now I'm off to the GI doctor I wish there was something in medicine that could cure us without any side effect like Royal Rife invention"


"Smoked for 20 years, tried gums, patches, hypnotised etc. No Joy.
Took Champix, and on day 12 just effortlessly stopped.
Minor side effects where a bit of muscle tension, a few minutes of nausea each day, and for the early weeks felt a tiny bit vacant in my mind (probably withdrawal)
Stopped Champix after 12 weeks, and have now been smoke free for 7 months.
Its been really easy, but always be ready to say 'no' whenever the opportunity arises to smoke.
just gutted I never did it earlier."


"I ave used Bontril for about 2 weeks right now and WOW! I went by the diet that my wonderful Doctor gave me and even without exercise I have already lost 23-25 pounds! I am severely overweight so I know these results aren't typical but when you weigh over 300 pounds every little bit makes a big difference! The only major side effect I have had is a few heart tremors. Once you get in the mind set that you don't need a snack cake or pastry in your mouth every few minutes then you can feel good not only about your weight loss but also about the great choices you are making!"


"I don't see good reviews ever for any bc, even my friends had issues with depo but not me, I loved it! Everybody is different,  You just have to try it to see. I had some spotting at first but then no periods ever, no issues at all and I even lost weight.  After I was on it for a year and then stopped. It took 3 months after I didn't get my next dose to even get my period again. I'll go on it again when I'm in need of birth control."


"I started using this medication 11 days ago. I started taking the medication because my depression was beginning to worsen. I had been off medicines for a while but just reached a point where I would benefit from them again. In the past I used Celexa, Lexapro, and Paxil. The sexual side effects of those medicines were intolerable. The Viibryd awakened me from what felt like a walking sleep. I am more outgoing, social, and have a desire to the things that I stopped doing during my decline. The main side effect has been diarrhea."


"I was on Toprol XL for many years and one day it just stopped working. I had a procedure and things got worse. I started on Propafenone my heart is doing much better but I have a bad taste in my mouth that is better than heart problems. I also seem to have difficulty breathing. It is like I am to tired to breathe but I am hoping that feeling goes away because it is wonderful to have my heart beating regular."


"Hello all,
It is April 20th 2017. I started taking prozac in January 2017. I hated prozac. I was never depressed in the first place to begin with. My psychiatrist prescribed me the pills. They did not work for me. I have not been taking the pills since April 17th. So its been 3 days and I feel better and beginning to be back to my normal ways and more alert and less depressed. I have read online that people who stopped taking it feels good at first then it starts to kick in like emotions and stuff trying to get it out of ur system. I guess withdrawal? But I couldn't do prozac anymore. Made me VERY depressed and annoyed all the time. Didn't work for me"


"I am a young and very ctive woman - I've had numerous bladder and kidney infections which have weekened my urethra - I started off with the patches but I ended up getting a severe reaction to the sticky stuff, so I've now been taking 5mg tab for a year and the difference is amazing, I am back to my full fitness without weeing myself. The only side effect I get is a really dry mouth, but that's better than nothing."


"I've had severe insomnia for over three years and it was not uncommon for me not to sleep for two or three days in a row.  After trying several other prescription medications, none of which worked, my Doctor placed me on Seroquel.  I slept well but the side-effects were awful.  It gave me severe headaches and made me feel like a total zombie the next day.  However after the first week or so I decided to take one-half the amount prescribed and I still got the sleep but the side-effects disappeared. After three years of bad insonmia, I don't know what I'd do without it.."


"I’m a 23 year old female who has had acne issues since about 12 years old.  Topicals kept me okay through my teen years until I got put on an antibiotic called Solodyn when I began getting adult acne at 22.  It worked great but is not a permanent fix unless you want to take that pill every day for the rest of your life, so I tried Absorica.  5 months was all it took to clear up my severe nodular acne and dry out the blackheads I've had for 10 years.  I experienced no serious side effects, just dry skin/lips and nosebleeds.  With Aquaphor and Vaseline on hand, it was easily manageable and just a minor annoyance.  Completely worth the results.  I highly recommend Absorica, so long as you've done your research and monitor your health on it."


"I love this med, literal life saver! having trouble sleeping for many years, only sleeping every 2 sometimes 3 night. I was like the living dead, a real life zoombie, couldn't think or function & could not deal with stress. since the first night I took this, it's turned my life around. I feel alive again. i only take one after trying to sleep naturally. if I don't fall asleep within an hour or two I take one 15 mg tab. usually half hour later & it's lights out, don't remember a thing. I do notice if I try to go to the bathroom before I've fallen asleep, I do feel slightly groggy, a little drunk. but that's long gone by the morning & I function & deal with stress better than I ever have before. no weight gain yet, need to gain some anyway."


"I read all of the reviews - I don't have acne and never had.  What I do have is  an immune problem that creates cysts. I have been using this cream .1% for almost a week. All the bumps under my left breast are gone. I am hoping with time the burning/peeling/reddness will go away too but I am extremely happy with my results in the week I have been using it."


"Duration 3 years I am 23. This medication changed my life and I am not exactly sure why I take it because I feel "normal" I wasn't bipolar however I was just flat out raging deeply depressed would stay up all night. I did crazy things. I also had horrible life threatening anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder and sitting still. I almost stopped taking it when I finally went to a DR because I couldn't go to college anymore because I was a complete wreck all the time. Every tiny little thing threw me into anger and depression and jealousy. Medication made me sick in beginning but the Dr told me to keep taking it which this is how these medicines work. After around 3 months. I was NOT depressed EVER, slight mood but I'm OCD and moody in general! Anti-depressant did not work."


"This medicine is not reducing my diastolic pressure as I feel it should. It is still averaging over 100."
