"I've been on this pill for a month. I specifically asked my doctor for a low-dose pill because I have had really bad experiences with birth control in the past, from weight gain to ridiculous mood swings, PMS, to my sex drive gone, to constant spotting. I am a healthy, slim, active 37 year old. This pill is the BEST! It's like I am not on anything at all.  I have not gained any weight. No acne, no mood swings, and my sex drive has increased, actually. The only reason why I can't give it a 10 is because it is a little pricey and one thing I was not expecting was the boob growth! I was already a 32dd, and I am popping out of those bras already. My man is not complaining though....lol."


"5'6" white female with very sedentary career and lifestyle.  Fighting weight issues, in hindsight,  not since high school and college (because I was at ideal weight) but since my first child in 1993 and fighting issues with edema in my left leg after the birth (c section) of my 2nd child in 1998.  I decided that as I, at my heaviest at 265 really need to lose weight. I began my saxenda journey with my youngest daughter (who also  struggles with weight) on May 22 I lost 20 pounds the first month and currently at 30 pounds lost. I have absolutely no side affects. Unfortunately my daughter has not been so lucky - she has had severe nausea but has been able to lose 18 pounds; as a college student her schedule of taking it has been inconsistently"


"Creatine is an effective supplement but one of the serious side effects caused by overdosing it is diarrhea. Usually during the loading phase you might experience bad diarrhea and remmeber DO NOT drink it with beer or milk, that would cause very painful diarrhea and stomach-ache."


"IF YOURE READING REVIEWS RIGHT NOW, DEBATING TRYING THIS, DO IT RIGHT NOW. I was so anxious to try this, I thought I was gonna be a zombie. Its only my first day taking it and I just want to let you know the side effects are very doable. Slight nausea, slight headaches, a little confusion, a little more alert. Honestly, if I wasn't paying attention to them I wouldn't even probably notice I'm having side effects....(I'm  sensitive to medications by the way) I say give this a shot, I know new medications can be scary but you never know, it can be your miracle drug."


"So far so awesome. Been on it a week and am not as agitated. Suicidal thoughts are going away."


"I've been on ambien CR for over 10 years, then all of a sudden the doctors want to change things up, tried 5 mg, didn't work, now on 6.25 and kind of working but only get 30 days worth and they keep telling me I have to get off it....why??? Don't screw with what works, now my anxiety is worse never knowing if I can get my meds to sleep...."


"This was my first experience with birth control. From a physical side it was great, lighter, shorter periods and no side effects. But it turned me into a miserable, emotional mess. Almost ruined my relationship with my mood swings, neediness and constant breakdowns. It took a long time for me to begin suspecting Yaz, and it was only when the pharmacy was out and gave me Yasmin instead that my suspicions were confirmed, I am 100 % happier and more emotionally stable now."


"I had been on Trinessa since I was 19 and am now 23. I was switched to Tri-Sprintec because my pharmacy only carried that for generic. I figured I'd give it a try since the hormone levels were the same as Trinessa and I had no problems what so ever on Trinessa. Well for the last 6 months I've been excessively irritable and T've never cried so much in my life. My already C cups have gone up to a DD. I have absolutely no sex drive and it's starting to affect my relationship. I don't want to do anything anymore but sit on the couch and sleep. I also have been getting really bad cramps and abdominal pains not just during my period but all the time! I'm switching back."


"I was placed on Silenor for insomnia.  Started at 3mg and now am at 6mg - no difference and I still can't sleep.  Many nights go without and I am tired of being tired"


"I've had this for over 9 weeks.. no side effects.. didnt make me moody or anything. Except I've been bleeding non stop.. switches from light spotting to almost like post partum bleeding! I'm giving it another month or so and if this bleeding doesnt stop then im getting this out! The reason this birth control works is because it refrains you from having sex because youre constantly bleeding."


"Make sure you review your dosage with the doctor.  As the others stated, it will make you tired and lethargic.  It also has had an effect on my ability to have a discussion without forgetting a word or two. My doctor gave me a dosage of 100mg/2x daily.  I wound up back in the hospital due to my heart rate being a low 32 beats per minute.  The hospital treated it as a failure with the original stent and went back in to check the previous operation.  That was over a year ago.  We tweaked the prescription down to 50 mg once a day, but I never got out of the lethargic state."


"I have had panic attacks for years after trying many other a it depressants that made this worse Lexapro was my magic pill I have had a 90% reduction in acute panic disorder and general anxiety, with this drug I'm normal person again and I have my life back.  I'm my opinion this is a blockbuster drug and I'm so thankful to the chemist that created it.  Thank you for giving me my life back!  <3"


"This is the worst form of birth control I have ever been on, I gained 10 pounds in a month without changing my diet. I'm normally an anxious person and get hormonal around my period but this pill intensified everything. I cried almost everyday and got angry over stupid things and I didn't have any anxiety free moments through out the day at all on this pill. Terrible headaches and nausea, I just got off of it so I'm hoping it all goes away soon. I don't recommend this"


"I am really unsure how to rate this, because I do not believe I was properly given it in the ER. I was severely overdosing on a barbituate (it is part of my headache medication) and I took too many, ironically even leaving the hospital my head was pounding. I just wanted to rate this so/so, because by the time I woke up after my shot and a rest, I felt somewhat better minus the extreme headache. BUT my boyfriend last year was ODing and when I called EMT's, they were able to successfully resuscitate him !!! Life changing experience, I'm glad he is opiate free still today. Naloxone is a wonder drug for addicts, people who take too much by accident, you name it. You can even get it at the drug store to keep on hand if/when you see an overdose."


"I was taking this because I have nausea from my flu... It's actually quite helpful. I can't vomit. lol. Although, it really does make you more sensitive to the sun and extremely sleepy. I suggest you take an extra day off from work or school so you know the effects."


"I have terrible allergies year round. My eyes would swell so bad that my contacts would pop out or stick to my eyelids. This takes care of  my allergies at their worst. I can wear my contacts again. I haven't had any side effects. Originally, I was paying $90 for a tiny bottle but my allergist gave me a coupon that lowers the price to $25. Definitely ask about the coupon if you need Pataday."


"Day 1 was horrible the burning got worse the itching was worse. It burns more now than ever. I am constantly itchy and it hurts to pee now. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone"


"Bupropion has restored my very far-gone faith in the entire concept of medicine for depression. It's not an acutely noticeable effect, I am not jumping for joy or smiling like an idiot but I am not depressed anymore. I still have kind of a sad life thanks to my mental health problems but I no longer feel like I need to kill myself in the near future, I don't cry, and my anxiety has become less severe.

Prior to bupropion I had been on a ridiculously long list of other antidepressant medication (Including but not limited to: Fluoxetine, Citalopram, Venalfaxine, Mirtazapine) and benzodiazapines for anxiety (like, 4 different ones). These did NOTHING. But bupropion did, it's kind of amazing. I recommend it highly."


"I read so many horror stories about Mirena online when researching whether or not to get one.  Despite this, I went with it based on my doctor's personal experience (having had one herself) as well as the results of the patients she placed them in, which she said most people really liked it.  I LOVE THIS!  It wasn't all that pleasant of an experience when it was inserted, but the pinching pain lasted all of about 30 seconds.  I was completely fine afterwards.  My periods have gotten lighter and lighter and now are officially gone!!  I knew this was a potential perk but I'm so happy that it actually happened to me!
I HATE birth control pills and am so happy I decided on
Mirena.  Such a great decision! HIGHLY recommend!"


"What happened to this formula?!? I've never had issues with this brand before. And just like most of the comments on here, I inserted the cream and everything was fine until I stood up, the cream naturally started to leak out, and immediately it started to burn but it was the unbearable itchiness that sucks. Then I came on this site and now wonder if there has been a bad batch! Complaints are almost all recent--July 2017. I used ice to help with relief... Monistat, what's going on?!? Lot # on box: R41816 Exp: 02/2019"


"Works about 75% of the time.  So far this is the best medication I've been prescribed."


"I would highly recommend this medication for smoking cessation. It was my saving grace to quitting smoking. I had bad dreams the first two nights when I was taking it in the am and in the evening. I switched the 2nd dose to after lunch and the bad dreams stopped.  No other side effects. Absolutely the best medication ever to help you quit smoking."


"I started the medication 7/21.  I had to change taking at night time as I was so tired & nauseous. I'm so disappointed as I'm the only one who is not losing weight.  5'2" 222lb. I have all the side affects of the medication (nauseous, tired, slight headache(gone now) & no appetite). Overall I eat pretty healthy & not a lot, so I don't understand why no weight loss (I'm eating even less now). I am female, 54, so menopause & thyroid issues are not helping, but I was so hopeful. Anyone else not have success?? Medication is pricey & side affects for not working..... I go up to the 3.0 dose Friday... still hoping."


"I was on doxyclyine for about 5 months. Before I started it I had mild acne and just little breakouts on my forehead every once in a while. The first month I was on it, I saw little to no change, but once I got to month 2 my face was almost completely clear. I was also using a topical cream alongside the pill. By month 5, my skin was still clear, but one night when I took the pill I didn't take it with enough water and it didn't go all the way down my throat without me realizing it. I woke up the next morning with crazy chest pain and went to the doctor to find out I got an ulcer in my esophagus from the pill! The pain in my chest lasted about three weeks and it was terrible. Moral of the story, drink lots of water when taking this drug and eat afterwards so the food pushes it all the way down and definitely don't lay down after taking it!!"


"I used this on my joint to treat my psoriasis. After a week the outbreak was cured."


"I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder and Major Depression which was a total panic in itself. My doctor and therapist both agreed that I should take an antidepressant. I was so scared of the medicine because of the panic disorder that I tried other remedies first. I did EMDR cognitive thinking as well as many others. After a few months of therapy, and depression getting worse I decided to give it a try. It has saved my life. If you are scared it is worth it. The side effects for me lasted about 2 days and were very mininal really just dry mouth and tired that was about it. I have only been taking this medication for 3 weeks and feel awesome. I have some anxiety but I am able to control it the way any other human should and can. I recommend it."


"I love Seroquel. I do. I've been on as much as 200 mg/day for the the last 8 months and now am currently hoping 75-100 mg/day will prove as effective as 200 at eliminating bipolar depression. I've honestly never been happier or more stable in my memorable life and I'm 34.  The sleep is fantastic, anxiety an issue of the past and I just have such a high but stable mood.

As for the reviewers promising this drug will not cause you to gain unless you increase your food consumption: Don't believe it!  Research it!  You might be lucky but this drug does NOT only increase appetite--it can decrease some core metabolic functions. Many people have to really restrict calories & up exercise just to maintain pre-Seroquel weight!"


"I HAVE HAD SEIZURES FOR TWENTY (20) YEARS NOW.  i HAVE TAKEN EVERYTHING THERE IS TO TAKE, NOTHING WORKED EXCEPT FOR TEGRETOL.  HOWEVER, I STILL HAD BREAKTHROUGH SEIZURES, SO NOW I TAKE KEPPRA WITH THE TEGRETOL.  I HAVE NOT HAD ONE SEIZURE FOR THREE (3) YEARS NOW.  WOW, OH WHAT A FEELING!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Just drank first 16 ounces- couldn't finish it all- drank first 16 ounces of water- the prep makes me gag and vomit some.  Stomach is hurting and I'm so queasy.  There has got to be an easier way to prep- this my 4th colonoscopy so I knew what was ahead -   Can't wait to be sedated and have this be over."


"So it's been 2 months now..I have been self controlling a little as I had a headache from hell.. only two times tho.. so why it's random I do not understand.. but it's so bad I can't touch it with 10 Tylenol.. it's crippling. BUT.. even so..I hate psoriasis so bad.. my life is altered by it..I continued on the Otezla with half the dose for a while.. back to full dosage.. but my psoriasis had returned due to the reduced dosage.. hoping it goes away again and those headaches as well.. nothing else is troubling.. the headaches need to subside so I can function normally at life and my job!"


"My doctor put on this medication a month ago in preparation for my surgery and it has been the worst decision I have ever made! Two weeks into taking mononessa, I began spotting. I thought no big deal, the spotting should stop soon. Well twelve days later, still spotting, so I called my doctor office and was told that that sometimes happen. Ok. Two days after that conversation, I started having light bleeding with the worst cramping I have ever had! Add to that, I started having lower back pain also. Nothing I took seems to help with the pain. It got so bad, that I had to go to the emergency room,  I could barely stand up nor lie down!! Can't even go to work yet because I'm still cramping severely and need to take narcotic. This med sucks!"


"I started taking Celexa 3 months ago for social anxiety and depression. I've had depression since I was 7 and my parents were against me taking medication. My sophmore year of college my anxiety started controlling my life to the point that I never left my home to be with people and I wouldn't participate in anything where anyone would watch me or evaluate me. I finally got my mom to agree to take me to the Doctor and get some medicine. It's been 3 months and my life has completely changed. I go out to social events, I've learned how to make friends and I'm doing great in school. This medication has changed my life significantly. The only problem I've experienced is that it makes me tired, but it's worth it."


"My husband is Military and one of the Corpsman had some of this Silvadene cream available and gave it to him since I am going through a tattoo removal process. This has shortened my healing time exponentially! Not to mention the fact that it has taken the heat out of the burn as well as calmed the skin enough for the blisters to be re absorbed into the healing surrounding tissue. I only wish it were available OTC because I'm almost out!"


"med helped control blood sugars a little but with awful side effects.  Was taking 100mg never increased to the reco300mg couldn't do it as I felt so aweful on the 100mg.  Side effects were extreme tiredness and thirst, nauseous, increase in HDL and triglycerides, after a few months started loosing my hair probably lost 50% volume and getting terrible leg cramps in calves at night would wake me up several times each and every night, severe stabbing pains mid/lower back and the brain fog was terrible.  Quit drug!!  Spoke to pharmacist he had multiple people coming in saying "get me off this drug it's killing me"- which is how I felt!  Drug company paid for the drug even though my insurance would have paid for it-pharmacist thought this was odd."


"Despite all of these poor ratings of this birth control, I must say that I was previously on the Depo shot, as it did what it was supposed to prevent pregnancy, it did make it impossible to lose the extra 5lbs. Plus my husband and I were planning on getting off the shot and switching to the pill to get pregnant quicker. We still haven't decided to try, but with taking Seasonique, I have had zero weight gain, zero Hormone change....no side effects what so ever. My breasts however grew from a solid c cup to a e cup, due to being high in estrogen. So some women may hate that, some may love it....but this has been so reliable, and consistent and has given me voluptuous breasts."


"I take as needed .5mg, more if needed. Works great, no side effects. Just knowing I have this 'safety net' gives me piece of mind."


"I am bipolar and have major depression issues and have been on tons of meds, to the point where I have felt like a pin cushion for these meds. Either they make me so tired I can't do nothing or they just don't work. I started taking Brintellix 3 months ago and I am on 10 mg a day. Side effects, whether I took it with food or not I would throw up almost every day ugh.....but on the up side it has made me feel like me again, not miserable and naggy looking at everything in a negative way! The nausea is still there sometimes in the morning but I will take it. So I can cope with everyday issues without freaking out and to be somewhat at peace with myself."


"Works for me.... it has been a  cheap miracle drug"


"nitrofurantoin for UTI caused me to have kidney failure, now I have to take cyclosporine 2 x daily for the rest of my life. I was told this was just a general antibiotic. I could not do anything to my doctor because I could not prove this caused my problem even though this was the only medication I was taking. This medication is deadly!!! and should be taken off the market."


"I experience being thirsty all the time on this, but it eliminates cyclical worrying thoughts and decreases my irritability.  I do have difficulty reaching sexual climax, but can sometimes. But on the generic, I could not climax at all, so it is better in that regard."


"I called my mom saying I have a yeast infection and she told me she has used this product 100 times and it worked magically. I got home and used this and within the next 15 minutes I had THE WORST burning sensation ever. PLEASE IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING USING THIS PRODUCT---DON'T. I wouldn't wish this pain on my worst enemy. I've had sour cream-like discharge come out and it isn't getting better. THIS IS YOUR WARNING."


"I started this medication in an attempt to clear my moderate hormonal acne. Unlike others, I did not have an initial breakout, in fact my skin started to clear up immediately as I began taking it. I am now on my second month in and other than my skin clearing up I have not experienced any other side effects. I highly recommend this birth control and have only positive things to say about it. Not only did it help improve my self esteem and acne but it has also regulated my periods."


"After experiencing some mildly unpleasant urgent diarrhea with miralax and horrible explosive diarrhea on Linzess, doc suggested ducolax. Bad idea. Took 6 hours to work, as the box suggested. Woke me up with impending doom pain. Had a normalish bm before puking up the dinner I had two hours prior to dosing. Then the diarrhea began. 3 rounds so far and I'm not stepping too far away from the toilet. I have decided that miralax is not at all inconvenient compared to ducolax, and will be switching back."


"Every day I take this drug, I feel better and better.  So calm, my ADD is in check and I sleep through the night. I have been on zoloft, celexa, vyvance  and wellbutrin.  Nothing other than benzos have taken away my generalized anxiety and made me feel calm and happy  No menopause symptoms either.  The only thing that scares me now is I hear how hard it is to come off of.  At this point I don't want to come off of it.  But I have come off zoloft, vyvance and wellbutrin. Why would it be so much harder to come off than those medications.   I don't suffer from depression just debilitating anxiety and it has literally improved my quality of life 100percent. All's I hear are horror stories and  I don't get it. Love to hear from other good experiences"


"Was put on this for GERD what a lifesaver. Feel great, have had no problems with this medicine. Take it once a day in the mornings and can just about eat a normal meal now without all the problems of acid reflux!"


"I have full body RSD. Lyrica brings down the burning and helps with the pain especially in my face and upper body. I also have to take Cymblata and tramadol with morphine but like I said I have full body RSD. Only side effect is my vision and I feel like I'm high but the benefits outweigh the side affects"


"I take birth control to help treat my ovarian cysts. Normally I take Junel, but I decided to switch to Gildess because it was cheaper, assuming they were the same drug, they are not. I have constant cramping, I became depressed, I've gained 15-20 pounds, had numerous anxiety attacks and plagued with paranoia, had the worst breakouts of my life, ohh and the whole reason I'm taking birth control, you know to treat my ovarian cysts, guess who just got discharged from the hospital with prescribed pain medicine because of their frickin ovarian cysts??? I don't care how cheap this drug is, it shouldn't be legal. I've never been depressed but on this I was starting to feel suicidal Just don't do it."


"I used to take Celexa when I was very young, and just started it back up today, and I know generally it takes 2-4 weeks to see any real results but let me just say even after only 1 day I can already feel a slight difference. I feel a lot more mellowed out. It may be the placebo effect (me thinking I feel better because I know I took something) but I do feel a bit more calm than usual. I did experience some drowsiness and a little bit of dizziness but it didn't exceed any more worse than that, and it didn't last long. I would definitely recommend this medicine to someone suffering anxiety and depression."


"I've suffered from Acne my whole life. Breakouts and black marks. I've tried everything over the counter, I've even tried Proactiv. Absolutely nothing worked for me. My derm described me Claravis. I've been on Claravis for 2 1/2 months and my skin has never looked this good. I Love the outcome so far. It feels good to look in the mirror at pretty, clear skin.. But my lips are terribly dry and my body aches. But that's the side affects of the meds. At least it's not a lifetime thing like my Acne would've been.. I Love my derm for getting me right."


"I am 16 years old and I started to use sertraline about four or five months ago and I have to be honest it did not work for me. I started out with 25mg and it helped for a day and then stopped so I had gone back and had talked to my phycyatrist and she upped my dosage to 50mg and the same thing happened then again my dosage was upped to 75mg and things went horribly wrong...I haven't ever felt so suicidal be or I had bad rage bursts and everything was bad! I was so sick and everything felt horrible. I went into a rage and tried to overdose in front of my boyfriend. I felt no self control. This made me feel horrible and I hate this medication."


"I've on this medication for a full week and I haven't had any results yet. I'm drinking lots of water as I always do, and staying active."


"Went in for an endoscopy/colonoscopy procedure.  All went well until I woke up uncontrollably crying which was really, really awful!  My poor husband didn't know what to do and the nurses told me that this happens in some patients (younger patients)  and would go away.  I am 52.  I would have like to have been warned ahead of time that this could happen.  The good news is that it passed after about a half hour, but made me never want to use this drug again.  In the past, have had versad (sp?) with great results so wasn't worried going in, thinking I would have that again."


"Aczone has worked really well however, beware of bed linens getting stained yellow from it."


"I had been on my period for 3months. The microgestin 1/20 was causing heavy bleeding and blood clots. The dr switched me to 1.5/ 30 microgestin and I stopped bleeding in 5 days. I was finally able to consummate my new marriage. So grateful..."


"Hello, Paxil ruined my life. The first month was great and then is turned horrible, like horrible. If I missed one pill I would get the most horrendous serotonin withdraw, so horrible my fore head would burn, nose would run, I would snap on anyone around me. Then it just turned into that was just how I was, if one tiny thing went wrong I was the most dramatic individual ever, hysterically crying (like rolling around on the floor crying, sweating hyperventilating) over things that weren't even a big deal. It has put so much strain on my relationships I don't think some are repairable. Coming off of them seemed next to impossible,then I switched brands, the pink ones are like poison the white are bearable. Do not take this drug, seriousl"


"I've been on Depakote for 2 weeks now. Not one single migraine. I was having them 2-3 times a week, and less severe tension headaches daily. I haven't even had the tension headaches twice now. I have not gained any weight as of yet either."


"Garbage. Note they no longer offer the 15 day free trial. I shelled out $160 for pills that make me dizzy (like drunk) and exhusted. I gained weight because I couldn't find the energy to get off the couch. I gave them over 2 weeks to get into my system, suffering the whole time with no benefit. I wish hadn't bothered."


"Not happy, not sad, just there. Actually not even there... Everything is kind of like a daze. But it feels alot better then being crazy stressed out all the time and freaking out over trivial things, just I don't feel like myself. But the good thing is I'm living in the moment instead of the past or worrying about the future."


"I have been on Rythmol 425 for 9 months.  It seems to have controlled my atrial fibrillation as I know of only a couple occurrences since I started the Rythmol.  Side effects have diminished but still have bouts of fatigue and constipation.  This medicine seems to be okay but I hate taking something continuously at 51 years old."


"I'm only on day 1 and I'm amazed at the difference in such a short time. I've gone from gasping for breath to being mildly puffed, more energy and I can move quicker. I can see it's going to change the quality of my life. I have emphysemia and am 62 years.

Thank you for developing this drug as my previous inhaler and puffers were not helping anymore.

Thankyou"


"This pill really does work. My boyfriend and I had a mishap around my ovulation time and I took the pill 12 hours later about 2 weeks ago. I got my period today. Slight side effects with a bloating, crampy feeling about a week after taking it and really tender breasts. But it worked. Oh, and I'm 5'5" 180 lbs and it still worked for me so away with the weight limits !"


"I've been on 30mg Phentermine for 42 days and has lost 31lbs. I got 42 more days on the pill. Hopefully I will be at or close to GW.

"I guess I am not the only one disappointed that Drixoral has been discontinued.  I have been using it for years and have found nothing else that compares. Please bring it back.  "


"I have been taking Lo Loestrin Fe for about 3 1/2 weeks; I've completely finished all of the blue pills for my first pack and take the first white one tonight. The only physical side effects I've experienced are moderate breast tenderness and yesterday I noticed a small patch of acne on my face. I am not really prone to acne and if I do get it it's just one pimple on my nose, forehead, or chin, but this time it's a patch of a bunch of small pimples on my cheek/nose, almost like a rash but not. I feel I cannot rate this pill 100% efficiently because I'm only on the first month, but I thought I'd write one anyway."


"I've gotten 5 shots and I'm still bleeding,  when will it end"


"I have been on Accutane for a month and a half. I am not sure whether my acne was very severe, but it was bad enough. I was allergic to benzoyl so my doctor put me on Accutane, now I am having a pretty bad flare up of cystic acne although I am clear on my back and chest. Lips are unbearably chapped and I have bad back pains. Hopefully it will get better."


"I've had to be on it for about 7 years because of an auto-immune disease. I have deteriorating bones. It's the only medication that I have found that will at least make my pain bearable. It has been a life saver for me."


"I was on Aciphex for 4-5 yrs. but the expense of it shifted me over to Nexium. I have now been taking 20 mg. Nexium 4 yrs. & have not had a GERD attack in years. My concerns are now that you can buy it OTC, I am concerned it will not be strong enough? And secondly, why is it that most nutritionists & holistic doctors insist that these acid controlling pills are the worse thing to take for your body?  I tried not taking it for 2 mos. & immediately had an attack which is horrible. Can someone answer my concerns please."


"Works great for my anxiety but I have bad cases of diarrhea. I take 1mg twice a day, also on Seroquel 400 mg."


"I used this medication for 2 years. It took approximately 4 months of using it once a day to see the full results. It totally curbed my oily skin and reduced my breakouts significantly, though I would still have 1-2 pimples at any given time. In the last year of use, I applied it twice a day and used  an SPF50 sunscreen with it. I was FINALLY starting to see my scars fade when my doctor switched my medication:( I loved Benzaclin, and found it affordable since I have insurance."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Midrin works very well on the onset. Stops the "gritty" pain and brings my headache/beginning migraine down to almost nothing. I do get a bit lightheaded and sometimes a bit amped, but its totally worth it. I used to take 2 on the onset and rarely had to follow up on the next hour or two. Now I only take 1 on the onset and I'm fine. When the pill winds down I feel tired so I when taking the pill I plan on resting later that day and not to over-exert. I have Chiari I."


"I have never written one of these before, but my results have been amazing so I had to share! I was on Yaz for about 9 years to treat my acne, but it never, in 9 years cleared my skin! I struggled with cystic acne mainly on my chin and forehead and literally always had a pimple on my face. After starting Loryna, my skin began to clear up! Now I'm about to start my third pack and my skin is completely clear! I literally get like one pimple right before my period but its gone before my period is even over. I have no side effects. This has seriously changed my life and it's so worth a try!"


"I have been taking opiates for years. It started with lortab then oxycodone and finally heroin. It ended up taking my brothers life at 36 years old. He left a wife and 4 beautiful children. Suboxone has been a miracle for me. I'm in the process of tapering off through my doctor. I'm looking forward to that day. What a blessing."


"This medication is a lifesaver, for me. It works very well, with no side effects at all, for me. It was very expensive $1800.99 before insurance and the assistance card from the drug maker.  If you have OIC like I do, try Relistor."


"Prozac took my worries away. That is all I wanted. I wasn't depressed. I used to wake up at night having bad dreams and worries that went over and over in my head. I couldn't sleep. After beginning Prozac that all stopped. It did unfortunately give me an "I don't care" attitude about what other people thought of me. My sister complained about that with me and said i was difficult to talk to. So I stopped taking it (gradually). Now I wake up every night again with terrible anxiety thoughts and dreams (mostly about things that are happening in my life).  I haven't heard anyone talking about this. Any comments?"


"I have no problems with this medicine not working, unless I forget to take my medicine! I am not sure if it causes you to have seizures - that you normally wouldn't have had, (if you hadn't forgotten your dose), or not? I think for me, yes it does. So, for myself, if I miss a few doses- a seizure is bound to happen!"


"Okay, I have ONLY ever taken Ortho Tri Cyclin lo birth control on and off (I stopped for four years and had two children) for 10+ years. Imagine my shock and hesitation when I receive this new generic that my insurance covers! I read all these horrible reviews online and even saw where they were off the market pending the settlement of a lawsuit! It was either the free Tri lo sprintec or the $140 brand name! Well, after 5 months on the generic Tri Lo Sprintec I am pleased to report that I have had NO side effects at all! In fact, I use to break out before every cycle on the brand name and after a few months on Tri Lo Sprintec I have a clear complexion all the time! Also, the negative reviews are from before the lawsuit & redistribution 2016"


"I took this pill a few years  ago at the age of 24 for about a year and at the time it was great! Acne cleared up, no cramps or weight gain, no effect on sex-drive and didn't get pregnant. I stopped taking it when my relationship broke down.
Fast forward to age 29 and due to upcoming wedding decided to take it again to try and get my skin clear... been back on it for 9 months now and struggling with it. Acne doesn't seem to have improved, sex-drive gone completely and feel nauseous constantly (except pill-free weeks... I actually look forward to my period these days as it's the only time I can actually enjoy food). I have 1 month
til our wedding and going to change after that"


"I just started using celebrex a few days ago.i was taking 1600-3200 mg daily for severe knee pain. It barely helped, and I have had stomach ulcers, so my pcp recommend this med. It's only  helped a little but,but I'd like to give it a few months. Today I woke up feeling sick.i have a hot, flushed face and just feel terrible. and I have not been feeling well lately anyway and have wheezing and a cough ..but i hope this isn't a side effect."


"The expierence was awful, but the reviews here seem to be inaccurate. First, you feel as if gas is stuck inside of you. Second, comes a wave of nausea. Third, you're on the toilet for almost an hour and a half and in extreme pain. The pain isn't ER worthy at all. Advil helped me. Once you go #2 and everything flushes your system you're left with diarrhea and the cramps right before going to the restroom. The pain for me was on my sides and abdomen. Also, the pain was on my back and my hips. I took three. DO NOT TAKE 2-3 PILLS. TAKE ONLY ONE. One has the desired effects without the majority of the pain. I hope this helped"


"My husband and I celebrated one year smoke free on March 5, 2010.  Both of us were 30-year smokers, I smoked 2-3 packs a day and he smoked 1-2.  Chantix was the magic pill we'd always joked about!  The only side effect we suffered was constipation (we know two other people who had the same easy experience, but two of my cousins had to stop because of vivid nightmares).  I feel very lucky that Chantix worked so well for us.  Neither of us has had any interest in smoking since we quit."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"Feb 2016 I was diagnosed HIV+ with VL 8000000/CD4 700.  Was immediately put on Stribild which I was able to tolerate but never felt well.  I thought am I always going to have the feeling of not feeling well all the time.   My first follow up May 2016 VL 90 did not get CD4 count on first follow up.  My second follow up Sept 2016 VL 80/CD4 800.  I started Genvoya on my second follow up and after a week I feel a lot better.  I don't have the unending feeling of not feeling well.  I actually feel better then I have in a long time.  I actually feel like doing stuff now.  Like when I started Stribild I have a sour taste on my tongue but hopefully it will go away like it did on Stribild.  So far I am glad I made the switch. Time will tell."


"Was on Benicar HCT for years with only moderate results and bad gout side-effects. Doctor insisted on continuing the Benicar HCT and subscribed Allopurinol for the gout and a powerful pain killer for the attacks. Changed Doctors and she changed me to Azor with wonderful results.  Blood pressure is now consistently in the 105-115/65-75 range, I'm sleeping better, love my new Doctor and best of all...no gout !"


"I recently stopped taking trivora after using it for 2 years. It gave me a reoccuring bacterial vagenosis and a yeast infection. It also made my anxiety really bad and gave me mild depression. I also gained a lot of weight on the pill throughout the years. It was really effective in preventing pregnancy though, I was having unprotected sex with a partner for a year and did not get pregnant. Although I would say all the cons outweigh the pros. Would not recommend this drug for the reason being mental sanity."


"Worked great for a severe bronchitis infection that I thought would kill me. Only downside is this medication leaches potassium from your stores like 90,000 mgs each time you take so that's a lot. If you start experiencing leg cramps or heart palpitations this is why. Doctors should be giving you a course of potassium supplements each time along with these but surprisingly never do. I near took a heart attack coz was so low on potassium. This medication blocks off the potassium ion channel to the heart in the process of killing your infection so grand if your potassium is good but very dangerous if its not. Again it should be getting replaced when this is prescribed coz if you take it a few times your potassium will be gone from body."


"This medication was always my go to when I had unprotected sex and it ALWAYS worked for me. Just always remember, the sooner you take it the better. I had unprotected sex, my boyfriend came inside me twice, and I bought the pill the following morning 12 hours after sex. This pill always works for me but side effects that I have experienced are lightheadedness, extreme hunger, and often, a late period. I know some of you worry and that's why you're here but honestly, with this pill, the chance of getting pregnant after taking this pill is slim ! Just let the pill do its thing!"


"Treated infection sufficiently, but with weird side effects.  Euphoria on some occasions; soul-crushing depression on others.  No nausea or other common side effects.  (Cipro ALWAYS causes severe depression for me, so this was better)."


"Been on antidepressants since around 1991 after I had thyroid removed.  Taking Wellbutrin for depression which works okay but last year started having late night anxiety attacks.  Really bad Fear.  I don't understand why.  Had me walking the streets at 11PM.  Started Viibryd and had weight gain and stomach issues and by the time I got to 40mg the anxiety just stopped! This medicine does as advertised for me, it stops the anxiety. That's what I needed and that's what I got. Like a miracle."


"I have taken 25 mg for a week and have dizzy feeling all the time . This medicine is not worth it to control your bp."


"I have used Ortho Evra for 4+ years while being in a relationship. I have had regular periods each month, all beginning on the same day each month while on the patch. My periods only lasted 3-4 days. I love the patch and have never had a pregnancy scare while on it. The only downside if any was when putting the patch back on after having it off for a week. That sometimes caused a sense of nausea, but I would highly recommend it."


"Stopped helping me after about two months of using it"


"Stopped seizures, caused strange behavior and severe depression."


"I got Nexplanon 08/04/15 & I really like it.

I was on the Depo-shot for about 7 years. I did not get any periods, I did gain weight ( but really I think  that it was a lack of  exercise ) but the fact that I had to go in every 3 months was annoying.

Than I found out about Nexplanon, did some research and I wanted to try it. I told my doctor I wanted to change my birth control. He went over it. The process was really fast less than 10mins ( including wait time ) - shout out to planned parenthood.

So far no period ( I love it ) it's for sure less  hormones but the fact that I don't got it renew it every 3 months is amazing

I think you should try it. Every body is different but you won't know how it works on you until you try it."


"I eat fairly healthy and exercise at least 3 times a week however my weight wasn't dropping so I went to my doctor. He prescribed phentermine 37.5 mg and I have been taking it every morning before breakfast. The only side effects I noticed was the dry mouth, but it just encouraged me to drink more water. Didn't have any problem sleeping, irritability or pounding heart like others have described. I go back to my doctor In 2 weeks for my 30 day review. I'm down from 206 to 195 so far."


"Lost 62 pounds in about 8 months, and it's still coming off. No side effects. I'm ecstatic. Note: it took a little over a month before I saw results. Two pills a day (I suggest 30 minutes prior to meals). Get full blood work and cardio first, blood rechecks quarterly. I now feel much fuller with smaller portions. Folks, diet is probably 90% of weight loss! Choose a small subset of low cal, filling foods and stick with those. Rotate when burned out. Egg whites, poultry are a staple for me. Eliminate all breads and sugar! Drink water. On the fence? Remember, obesity kills. Use "myfitnesspal" app or similar and record everything that goes into your mouth. Bottom line: for me, I'm less of a man than I was months ago - and I'm happy about that!!"


"Gabapentin kept twitching muscles and nerves at bay.  I found the side effects to be very annoying.  I had cognitive issues, while on Gabapentin, such as, hunting for the correct word from my varying and large vocabulary.  I also experienced memory (short term) problems. Now that I've tapered down to 300mgs 3 times daily, my memory has improved, and my vocabulary is coming back.
I recommend this medication, yet, if you find yourself entering a room in your home and not knowing exactly why you are there, forgetting why you went there in the first place, blame it on the medication.  You are not losing your mind, nor are you suffering from early onset dementia!"


"I just had a 14mm kidney stone removed surgically and now have a kidney stent. 2 days after the indwelling stent was placed I began having severe back and abdominal pain. In short intervals the pain was equivalent to a small kidney stone itself. I have been taking Lortab off and on for years for different reasons. I know that they wake me up. Needless to say I had 24 hour pain levels that didn't allow for sleep if I took the Lortab every 4 hours. I told my Doctor that but he wouldn't prescribe any 'sedative' pain relieving medicines. I called in the 3rd day after no sleep and said something MUST be done. He finally prescribed me Demerol 50mg. One didn't do that much however I upped my dose to 2 tablets and I'm currently almost pain free. Good night."


"I want to advise people that yes this drug works to help reduce migraines and muscle spasms. However, I feel obligated to advise you that if you use this drug even in small doses on a daily basis you may/will have some severe withdrawal symptoms (ie depression, insomnia, nausea, more spasticity, mood swings, hallucinations, and more ). The sad part is doctors love prescribing drugs to medicate but so often do not give you the whole picture, I was not advised of the withdrawal symptoms even after weaning myself of of this drug. Please do your research before taking ANY drug."


"Crestor was doing a very good job in bringing my total cholesterol from 247 to 171. However, after a year and a half I could not stretch without pulling a muscle. I am 104 lbs. So the dosage was reduced to 1/2 of a 5mg tablet, which did not work, my number came up to 219.  I also have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), recently I got a bad GERD pain in my chest, I had to take an antacid before, during and after I ate. When I quit Crestor the pain and the head confusion went away. I felt great.  Now my numbers from exercise, eating the right foods that help lower LDLs and raise HDLs have got my total to 236 with all LDLs in normal range with my HDLs high.  My doctor is now trying me on fibrates."


"I cannot keep water down, let alone food, if I don't take this. I was hoping it would end after the first trimester and I could stop using it daily, but I'm 4.5 months and I still can't be without it. So grateful it's class A because I don't know how I'd work and function without it. Wishing I didn't need anything! Also, I should add...I only take half the dose: one at night and one in the morning. Two during the day is way too much; you'll feel drowsy and sedated. I learned that day one and realized I don't even need that much to alleviate the symptoms."


"I was on Lexapro for over 10 yrs. LOVED it. Made me feel normal. I finally knew what people were smiling about on a spring morning. Long story short, had to say goodbye to an old friend. Lexapro worked great but stopped working after 10 yrs. Looking for a new friend. Just met Citalopram. Start taking tomorrow. 40 mg. Could be my new best friend."


"Lantus has been a miracle for me.  Prior to using it, my blood sugars were completely out of control. My numbers were so high at times, they wouldn't even register.  I did everything my doctor told me to with no success.
When I was taking R and N insulin, I'd have extreme highs and lows with my blood sugars.  There simply was no regulation. Lantus so far has leveled out my blood sugar levels.  I take it in conjunction with Humalog.  Between the two, most of the spikes I've experiences have stopped.  Although with the Humalog, I do have to be careful with hypoglycemic events. The combination of the two insulins is the only thing that's ever helped me.  And I've been on everything you can imagine. It looks like I'll finally control my diabetes."


"I have a patient who was a wreck until he was started on Effexor. He has to take a large dose, but it works."


"I am 16, my boyfriend and I had protected sex July 14th, condom broke. We freaked out and I took plan b 45 minutes after. He fully came inside me & even worse, I was fertile & ovulated about a day later. being so young and scared and a big worrier, I nearly drove myself to the brink. I was terrified and cried everyday. I got what seemed to be a period 5 days later. It was brown and turned into a light flow. The next day, was a heavy flow and exactly like a period gone 3 days later. My actual period was late, so I knew that was my real period just early. I've taken 4 pregnancy tests all negative a week after my "missed period". Plan B works! I was nearly ovulating. just sit back and wait, I was fertile & fine! next period due on the 16th!"


"It started off good until I started having very bad chest pain then my periods was months long not weeks, then my hair started to fall out ...its the worst."


"I'm on day 6, lost 1-2 pounds so far...still having cravings but have just started to notice that I need to eat less to feel full, actually last night I ate alot at dinner and felt really sick after, the one side effect that I'm struggling with is after 12pm I'm exhausted, I feel like I need to take a nap and I feel like I can concentrate...this is making me feel like stopping but I will try to continue and see what happens....also a good side effect is I don't want to drink alcohol....I used to drink 2-3 glasses of wine a few times a week, now I don't want it at all. I have no desire to drink? Guess that's good. : )"


"This does not work.  If anything, makes my bleeding worse.  I have suffered with very heavy periods for years, and this does nothing.  My search goes on for something else!"


"I have a rare syndrome and I'm on methotrexate and prednisone. I've been taking both for 4 months now and also take another pill 12 hours later due to the side effects from the methotrexate. I'm hoping to get off the predniose and see how the methotrexate will work alone."


"So far not any significant changes. Still feel terrible, back pain, legs ache, upset stomach. "


"I started Robaxin a month ago.  I take 1000 mg a day and after my next script I'm cutting to 500mg a day, then quitting all together.   I was on Loratb 10's for two years and been clean for almost a 40 days now. I was trying to quit for many many months, but my mind and selfishness just wouldn't allow it.  I lost a lot of important things in my life due to opiate addiction for pain, so I recommend you do what I did and just be honest with the people closest to you, ask doctor for help and be honest with him.  It is very hard to do and will be very emotional, but it will turn your life around I promise.  Go to doctor!"


"After taking Citalopram for over 12 years I started suffering from sivere anxiety side-effects.  My GP suggested that we try Effexor.  After 3 months on Effexor, my anxiety was no better and I had one little trip to the ER and a short stay in hospital with another failed suicide attempt.

I was in a really bad place, at the end of my wits.  My pharmacist had a chat with me.  He said that seeing as I had responded so well to the Citalopram initially, it might be worth trying es-citalopram/Lexapro.

I talked to me Dr. and he agreed.

Things have been a lot better since.  I don't need any anxiety medication at the moment and most of my other symptoms are a lot more manageable.

It is not a cure, but it makes the symptoms bearable."


"I've been on this pill for three months now and I like it a lot. This is my first time ever being on bc and I'm 17 so I was looking for something simple and easy to handle and this pill was definitely good for me! I didn't get my period the first month and the only side effects I get are sore boobs, cramping (during the same time every month), and minor mood swings. The only negative aspect that I didn't like was that I had spotting in between periods on the third pack (the one I'm on now) which made me nervous since I didn't get that the first two months. Other than that I would highly recommend it!"


"I have dealt with chronic migraines (normally 1x or so weekly, lasting 1-3 days each) for about a year or so.  OTC meds have virtually no effect at all.  I asked my Dr for Zomig and tried it first time today.  Headache went from 2 days at between 7 and 9 on pain scale to a 1 or 2 within about 1/2 hour, less than 1 another 1/2 hour later.  I put on an eye mask to block light and rested, was pleasantly surprised to have only minor discomfort a short time later.  Never has anything eased my headaches the way this did.

Side effects minimal - slight flushed feeling, a tad light-headed, slightly elevated heart rate.  Nothing uncomfortable at all.

This is somewhat expensive at $60 co-pay for 6 doses but was well worth the expense."


"I am taking 25mg in morning. Working up to 100mg over few weeks going up 25mg every 2weeks, iv only been taking it 4days and tbh only thing I've noticed was first day felt rough but since I've felt the odd nausea no other side effects, maybe because I've been so busy haven't noticed them, I'm actually lookin  forward to upping dosage, I want to prevent migraines I dunno why I didn't go get help sooner I've suffered for years, but to me being overweight I'm also hoping itl help with the weightloss I've been struggling to lose for over 4yrs I'm fit and healthy and regular exercise and healthy eater yet can't shift so hoping this helps"


"I was on this medication for about two weeks or so and within the first couple of days it made me feel extremely anxious and depressed. I felt as if I was not in control of my emotions. As if this was not bad enough I also felt an uncomfortable sensation in my neck and experienced trouble sleeping."


"I've seen so many negative comments about Sprintec but honestly I love it. I've been on multiple other birth controls but this one is the one for me. The first month (more like week) I got the regular symptoms like nausea and vomiting but that's always been normal for me. I used to have extremely bad acne as well and Sprintec helped me with it. After the first 2 weeks, I noticed how less oily my face had gotten and how I glowed. I definitely recommend at least trying this pill for the first 3 months!"


"I've only had it for 4 months now. It's been stressful not knowing what to expect because no one's experience is the same.
I'm not sure if my mood swings are from it or not.
Spotting is really frustrating and right now I'm having extreme mass bleeding after a month and a half of nothing.
I can't afford to see my GP every time I get anxious and nothing online helps."


"I've been on this medication for about a year, and it has saved my life, and kept me from needing an ablation.  Before taking it, I could barely leave the house for 24 hours each month. Now I take 1 pill every 8 hours for a day and a half...and I can function again.  I can work, and I can go out and see friends. The only side effect that I have is mild dry mouth. The pills start working in about 40 minutes, and I can see a difference right away.  They started working the very first month I took them, and have worked every month since.  Thank God for this medicine. It's been a total game changer."


"I take it for bipolar disorder. It helps through the mania. It helps sleep and then mania the next day. "


"Very effective for me. It has also been prescribed for my vertigo as well as anxiety. 0.5 mg is enough for me to feel the anxious feeling subside. Sometimes even half a pill is fine to take the edge off. I only use about 5 pills a month."


"I've been on it for three years and no pregnancy scares. No weight gain, nothing. My only complaint is my sex drive is nonexistant ."


"Having crohn's, I never suffer from constipation, ever.  I took 2 dulcolax Wed at midnight as directed for an endoscopy on Friday. Felt lots of gas discomfort within 25 mins. Impossible to sleep! Really painful cramps started by 2:15 am. Turned to extreme cramps every 10-12 minutes.  Like hard labour.  Severe diarrhea and vomiting for the next 3 hours, nearly passing out thinking I might die with forehead neck & inside elbow crease sweats for hours. By morning I am now passing blood with diarrhea. Cramps 20-30 mins apart. My crohns WAS very good for months. I don't think it's safe for 'some' like 'ME' to take this medication.  Pico-Salax should be sufficient for those whose bowels empty very quickly due to faster digestion."


"I was prescribed Olux-E for Psorisis of the scalp.  I made an appointment with a dermatologist because I was embarrassed by the flakes and condition of my scalp.  Symptoms were cut in half after two days of use and gone in four.  I can wear black again!  It still itches a bit but the flakes are gone.  Couldn't be happier.  It is a topical steroid so I'm going to stop using and keep some on hand for the occasional flare up.
So impressed.  THANK YOU!"


"Took this for the first time last night at midnight. Almost 14 hrs later I STILL feel drugged and have had a horrible headache. Do NOT recommend, but if you want to try if, definitely do it when you don't have anything important to do the following day. My mom took this med and also got a bad headache but she said it "didn't work for her". It worked TOO much for me, at 100mg. Although I am never going to try a smaller dose as I will still get a headache and feel drowsy the following day-/ just maybe on a less terrible scale. Wish I never took it."


"I take it for my nerve pain and it helps tremendously.  I usually don't have to take any pain pills due to it anymore.  I also take it for migraine prevention.  I have not noticed much of a difference yet with that, but works great for nerve pain."


"Been using it for over a month now, still the same amount of spots if not even more, has not worked for me, time to visit the GP again"


"I was told I had Atypical Pneumonia. After Azithromycin, it didn't completly clear up my lung. So the doctor prescribed broad spectrum - Doxycycline. This really upsets my stomach which I never experience with other antibiotics before. I had to take crackers before this medicine. Otherwise, I would throw up (did once when took with empty stomach). After 14 days, I didn't feel completely free of germ. 5 days after finished the last dose, I started with sore throat again."


"I've suffered from acne for over 10 years. I went through two treatments of Accutane. It helped clear up my skin, but it didn't help clear up my blackheads. The 2nd time I was on it, my dermatologist kept me on for 8 months and it still wasn't a true success. I have been off Accutane for 2 years now. I still suffer from acne, especially blackheads. I don't break out nearly as bad as before, but it's still a struggle. "


"I was prescribed 300mg Clindamyin 4x daily for 5 days after getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. Took my last dose before going to sleep at midnight last night. The past five days I was doing ok. My Percocet messed me up one day, so I stopped taking that. But today started out fine, until about 11pm when I went to the bathroom. I was in and out of there every 10 minutes or so. Not the usual liquid runs, this was thicker. Maybe everything that had built up from the constipation caused by the Percocet? This went on for a good hour before I downed two probiotic and ran to the store for anti-diarrhea. Now I've got glossy eyes and pink cheeks on an otherwise pale face. Not entirely certain is Clindamycin is to blame, but it's a suspect."


"Best medicine ever! Lost 30 lbs in one month!"


"This drug does work, but some of the effects that come along with it suck.  I take this drug along with two other ones, Keppra and Trileptal three times a day.  Most of the time I feel tired and would like to sleep.  Also my long term memory is effected and my eyes are photosensitive because the bright sun causes them to give me blurred vision.  I guess that I will have to take the bad with the good.  Although it has decreased the amount of seizures that I have had the side effects that come along with it suck.  I am 50 and wish that I did not have to take any types of these meds, because the side effects that go along with them are not pleasant."


"Been on Victoza since August. Nausea first 2 or 3 weeks, that has ended. Have lost 12 lbs and morning blood sugars are approx 120. Has tremendously minimized appetite. Now I eat to live instead of living to eat. Waiting for bigger and better things (more weight loss and coming off all other medicines). Read before to eat bread or crackers for the eggy taste or breath...it absorbs the acid in the stomach. Good information for me."


"I did a 6 month treatment of Lupron and It wasn't that bad. The first couple of months I experienced migraines & hot flashes. For the reminder or the treatment, I continued to experience the hot flases but my mood swings became very uncomfortable for my family, friends, & me. I would one minute be calm & neutral...the next minute I would become mean & hateful. That was never how I was prior to the treatment. However, I completed my treatment in August 2009 and I haven't had any problems with my endometriosis at all. My doctor has now given me the option to either get pregnant or continue with birth control pills until I decide to become pregnant to maintain the endometriosis. I highly recommend this method if you can withstand the side effects."


"I've had Implanon for almost 7 months.. and its been a horrible experience for me. To all the ladies that love it, thumbs up for you! A week and a half after getting it put in, my period started and its gone downhill from there. I will bleed for 2 months straight, stop for a week or 2 then its back again for months! I'm the meanest person on earth, and I'm constantly snapping and crying over something. It's ruining my relationship with my boyfriend of over 2 years and my family thinks I'm just a grouch because they don't understand what I'm going through. I have new acne of my face daily, hair loss, and sore breasts (especially in the morning). Also, I gained 5lbs in about 2 weeks, but thankfully I'm dieting and exercising and I lost that weight!"


"I got Nexplanon in February 2014. With all contraceptions there is the risk of side effects. On the pill ai had sore breasts. With Nexplanon my breasts feel much better and I'm less hormonal. In the first few weeks after the implant I got a bit of a scabby scalp but that has cleared. After 2 weeks - light period lasting 10 days (bleeding 6 days, light tampons then brown discharge for 4 days). I then had 2 weeks of no bleeding then 7 days bleeding, more like 2 days bleeding and 5 days spotting or brown discharge. Then 3 weeks of no bleeding. Irregular bleeding is annoying but better than a baby! Minimum maintenance contraception suits me and my boyfriend. These reviews helped me so I thought I would post."


"I was on necon for 5 months. It worked pretty well. My periods were very light and short 2-3 days. My complexion stayed the same, i didnt have acne but i had a few pimples. I stopped using it because I got cramps which I didn't have that bad before taking the pill. The cramps were not that bad though. I went up in breast size slightly. I would reccomend this pill."


"HI I
I posted before my experience  with Alfuzosin
how I ended up having a catheter and bag
my enlarged prostrate  was making it so hard to pee Doctor proscribed  Flomax
It worked well for about 6 to 7 week up until that time I did notice a big difference in sexual arousal. It  becoming harder to maintain an erection also I was starting to get severe pain in my penis, as I felt the need to pee but couldn't.  I went to hospital and they inserted catheter and bag
I had it on for 6 week but it was very uncomfortable.  So went back to doctor who prescribed  Alfuzosin  after 3 day I was able  to have catheter remove this drug worked wonder as regards to regular peeing with no pain even if I get up during the night  - with Flomax I couldn't"


"I started taking this pill because of extremely heavy, painful and irregular periods. The first six months were great, I had very light bleeding, no cramps and my periods were very regular. Around my sixth month I got terrible acne, I only ever had a pimple here and there and I got cystic acne around my chin and cheeks. Now forward to the ninth month, I've been feeling very depressed, cry all the time and just feel like a mess. I also suffer from severe nausea. I'm ending this packet, and then I'm switching to a much lighter pill which will hopefully help me."


"I suffer from an intestinal parasite (Endolimax nana), and I was prescribed metronidazole (Flagyl) at a daily dose of 1000 mg per day for a week.  Every drug has its side effects, but I was particularly worried about the possibility of developing peripheral neuropathy since my father had suffered from that condition for many years.  In spite of assurances from my physician, my feet went numb, with some additional numbness in my hands and wrists, not to mention the fact that the drug was ineffective against the parasite.  I’m writing now in the hope that this will reach those of you have experienced similar side effects: I want to say that the neuropathy is in fact reversible and that you WILL eventually regain feeling in your extremities."


"I read so many reviews about how painful insertion would be, and I got myself really worked up and was very nervous when I went to see my doctor. I'm happy to say that is wasn't in the littlest bit painful. I am 26 and do not children. Granted I have really bad cramps when I get my period, which is part of the reason I needed birth control. But there was no pain, no pinch, nothing. I felt like I was having a MILD period cramp, for about 30 seconds, and then I felt completely fine. No cramping or pain at all afterwards. I took 800mg of ibuprofen about 30 minutes before, and I think that helped a lot. I would rate it about 2/10 on a pain scale, and the "pain" is pressure and mild cramping"


"I got diagnosed with BV and the physician prescribed me 2 500 pills a day for 7 days. On the label of the medication it says you do not need to take it with any kind of food, but through my experience I had the worst side effects if I didn't eat enough. Like all the other comments here, it tastes horrible and makes me feel constantly like I am sick, which is added on to the fact that I am also on my period right now. But the odor did clear up within two days and I feel like it's working. I am at the end of day 3 and I just want to be done with it already. I am pushing through it because everyone on here says it worked to clear it up in the end, and so far it's doing its job. I just wish the side effects weren't so constant."


"Having suffered with irritable bowel syndrome for about 20 years and experiencing bloated stomach and being doubled up with stomach pains after virtually every meal I had consulted a specialist, tried various diets and self-medication and had no relief. This lead to me feeling constantly worn out and depressed. I really thought I was stuck with this for life and then ... I was prescribed amitriptyline. I started with 20mg and gradually increased to 50mg over a period of 6 months. The dosage was then gradually decreased and I was fine until I got down to 10mg, when the pains started to come back again. I increased to 20mg, which I have been taking for about 2 years and other than the occasional short flare-up, I have been fine. I have my life back again!"


"I have had severe migraines for sometime and was on 4 different pain medications, this medication completely omits migraines from the day. Only side effects for me were being wired, and kinda snappy and sometimes short tempered. I've been taking it for a year, only when I'm going to have a migraine I take one!  "


"I have been taking the BC Sronyx for about 2 months, my period have not came on (which is AWESOME), THE DOWNFALL, my hair has started to fall out and become thin, I am very moody (angry), I have gained 10 lbs within the 2 month timeframe. I am starting to have pimples on my face that I never had in my 22 years of life. UGH hate and Today I stopped taking it."


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

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

Don't wait to try this stuff."


"I have taken Levaquin many times for my sinuses and have had 2 sinus surgeries.  I am currently on my 38th day of 750mg and have 11 more days to go of taking it.  We are doing this for so long as a last resort before doing surgery again.  I can not tell that it is doing much good this go around.  It does not allow me to rest well so I take it in the morning but  I can honestly say that I am over the vomiting daily because of it.  It also gives me the shakes and just a very bad overall feeling until lunch or so."


"We have had much success with our 11 year old on this medication.  He is conversing with us more and stays better focused on the task at hand (i.e. school work). He is not as easily frustrated by things and has started sharing his feelings which he never did before.  He started on the Tenex in August 2009 and we switched to the Intuniv about two months ago.  Tenex helped but Intuniv seems to have really done the trick.  We still have some issues, but everything is more tolerable for both him and us!"


"My doctor told me to take this birth control and I been taking it for four days now, and I feel horrible, nausea, headaches and I feel weak and I always sleep, I just want to know if it gets better or if any of you ladies went through this."


"I have been taking it for many years now for tonic clonic epilepsy and had been well for 3yrs. However out of nowhere last week I had 4 seizures had did some major damage. Has anyone else had this I also take Epilim ."


"Used MS injections (self administered) for 25 years. No adverse reactions, average increase of 4.5% per annum to maintain effectiveness. Tried several alternate products but MS most effective. Have induced withdrawals on semi regular basis and discovered intensity and duration decreases over the years. i.e last year, ceased MS for a month with only very minimal withdrawal symptoms."


"Since I started taking this medicine I have lost 11 inches total and 15lbs. I noticed since starting this I have been able to keep up on daily work along w workouts. When I think I wanted something to eat my mind will think about it but then quickly change to do something else. I love this med and I love that I'm getting in shape because of it. I even sleep better at night now. I no longer take blood pressure med and only half of anxiety/depression med. Even with Multiple Sclerosis I'm doing great!!!!"


"I've tried other allergy medications but Allegra-D is the only one that works.  I used to get constant post nasal drip and have to clear my throat all the time.  On this medication I feel amazing.  It does however cause insomnia and bad dry mouth.  It also makes it so I don't get a full erection.  So do I feel better and not have sex or what?"


"Made me feel like a zombie..Foggy feeling in head.  Not good for the sex life.    Sleepy all day long; couldn't get out of bed.  I woke up just to eat and went back to bed.   Stopped after 6 weeks.; switched to Wellbutrin with good results."


"I'm a doctor, prescribed this for myself a week ago. In a week I've lost 3kg! Mild nausea at first so started only taking it at night before bed. I have no food cravings, I don't think about food all the time and don't feel compelled to snack or even eat at mealtimes. I have a mentally exhausting job so eat healthy snacks when I think my body needs it to stay on top of my game. Love this drug, I genuinely don't understand  (other than price) why it isn't more widely used."


"This is my first time using the cream. I had never heard of it but  I am currently 31 weeks pregnant I've had a yeast infection for about 2 months it cleared up and then it keeps coming back so my OB prescribe me this. This is my first night using it and so far it's working really good I'm glad it doesn't burn like the other ones  that I've gotten. Hopefully it continues to work and take this itchiness away because it's really aggravating. Especially I get swollen I normally just take a warm bathe that seemed to help. Didn't think I had it still until I went to the ob today and explained & he prescribed me this. It does tingle a little but I guess that mean it working. I just wish it goes away as I am sick of it ."


"My boyfriend and I decided to have sexual intercourse. We used protection but the condom slipped off. We were freaking out because we thought that some of his stuff came out. Keep in mind that I’m not on birth control. So like 30-45 minutes we went to the store to pick up Take Action instead of Plan B. I took it right away, and waited. The pill did work and I started my period like a two weeks before my period. I had not symptoms by taking the pill. Take action in my part did work, but it might be different for others! Hope this helps!"


"I'm 18 years old and started having breakouts in the beginning of puberty. Even though it's a part of your hormones changing and stuff I am really insecure about acne of my jawline and chest area. My dad took me to a dermatologist and I got prescribed Differin. I've used the cream for about 2 weeks and can start to see small improvements. However, I have started getting flaky skin as well. Overall it's a good product but you need to be patient."


"Wow, many of your reviews are very helpful. I am a vibrant, healthy & semi-athletic post-menopausal female. I ignored symptoms which were later diagnosed as CTI; acute abdomen pressure, urge to urinate every few minutes with pulsing and finally, bloody urine. Cipro worked for me within the 1st 24 hrs ...500 mg 2x p/day for 5 days... No side effects, only relief..."


"This birth control made my face really clear. When I get my period..I get tiny pimples here & there but it's nothing serious. Before the birth control my menstrual cramps used to sooooo painful! Now I barely have cramps. The con of this pill is low sex drive. I rarely have sex with my boyfriend and when I do, it burns after. That never happened before the pill."


"Pill works good. I found out the hard way I am allergic to it and it gives me pancreatitis. I was in the hospital for a week."


"It saved my baby. I was was showing signs of miscarrying because of my hormone levels. I took this for 12 weeks. The bleeding stopped the next day and I now have a healthy little girl!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"My experience with Safyral had been an overall good one, but it didn't start out that way.  During the first month all through the second month I had horrible mood swings. Borderline depression it felt like.  But after the second month it went away, I started feeling better. I've had no acne. No weight gain. Lighter flows. So I guess this pill is different for everyone based on the other reviews, but this is a great one for me and I plan to keep using it for a long time."


"I was 50 and had ED when I  met this young women, initially  did not know what was wrong as I could not perform  and had to abandon act  with excuses. A month later I was prescribed 50mg and took it an hour before, and it worked fine as we both had a good time twice in one night. I was exhausted in the morning, had slight head ache, and felt heat on the body during  night but was fine  next morning, since then was it has been12 years as I am 62 now, & have taken this miracle drug of 50 mg on  every weekend when we make love & it works great. even though I have controlled my BP  drug medication, the last 12  years have been great with Viagra. I only hope it will help till I am 65 when I would probably say good bye to sex.."


"WOULD NOT RECCOMEND! this product has given me awful breakouts and a month long period."


"I have microscopic colitis. Lialda works great but the only major drawback is the expense. $191 every two weeks. My insurance dropped me and that cost is with a local pharmacy prescription discount card. At this rate I will be unable to keep up with it."


"A GYN prescribed Brisdelle - it's a low-dose Paxil (7.5 mg) for hot flashes.

This Doctor stated that unlike other SSRI's, I would NOT have complications or side effects going on/off them - in the case of running out of supply. This was NOT my experience. After 3-4 days of stopping, I noted an odd sensation connected to my eyes. I told my opthamologist about a "swishing" sound I heard with any movement of my eyes. I finally found others reporting this all over the internet. This also happened in a previous year with Sertraline (Zoloft) - this 'after quitting' side effect lasted a very long time - maybe a year or more!

THE DUMBEST, MOST WASTEFUL PACKAGING ON THE PLANET. WHY NOT SIMPLY MAKE 7.5 PAXIL IN A SIMPLE BOTTLE?  Pink? Come on!"


"Overall was an effective drug for me, but had problems with it wearing off between doses."


"I got the Implanon June 2014, It was fine for the first week then I started to spot, have headaches/migraines as well as being very moody/emotional.  Spotting lasted for 4 months until I went to the doctor who put me on Levlen ED for 3 months. However I started to bleed again within the 2 months of being on the Pill so I went back to the doctor who gave me another 3 months worth of the same pill. I've got 1 more months worth of being on the Pill so I'm hoping that my periods have settled down."


"Definitely helped, pain-wise. It wasn't a cure all for the pain, but definitely lessened it."


"I took a 2 week short course with Champix as per below article since I did not want to poison my body and risk with emotional disorders.

http://slinqy.com/health/stop-smoking/

Maybe its too early (just over 3 weeks ago I stopped smoking), but Champix worked really well. The main thing - it took away the obsessive thoughts about smoking - the thoughts that keep coming back when you try not to smoke. Now when I am over 3 weeks already I feel very stable. The only side effect was 2 instances of vivid dreams - the dreams were actually pleasant. i recommend to try with 2 weeks and stop smoking earlier than described in Champix. Refer to Slinqy health section for this article."


"I began taking this after my Loestrin 24 fe became too expensive. Loestrin always worked really well for me with very few side effects, but you can't beat free. Pros with Microgestin Fe: my skin is mostly clear (I rarely get pimples), and my period is usually light and I sometimes barely get anything at all if I've consistently taken the pills and don't miss one/take one late. Cons: Low libido, lots of breast tenderness, frequent headaches/migraines, spotting between periods, exhaustion, some weight gain (especially in my breasts, which is not a plus if you're already ~curvy~ to begin with). I just started using Reclipsen because I couldn't handle the low libido, breast tenderness, and headaches! Here's to hoping I do better on Reclipsen."


"My doctor gave me this for a sciatic nerve issue I had for months. It is the only thing that worked."


"I found the pill very effective.  Took it every day for 3 months and by the time I had completed the treatment a new healthy nail had completely grown out.  However, within weeks the fungus returned and a the nail became yellow and brittle again.  Huge disappointment.  At least I didn't have any bad side effects."


"All I can say is my doctor prescribed it because a few of his patients with high blood pressure reported their migraines had disappeared when they started lisinopril .  I only had slightly elevated blood pressure which is also gone.  It has been two years headache free. No side effects. I take 2.5 MG. 1 x day."


"I've been on this med for 5 days now. I feel the hunger! I am constantly craving food. Sleep wise it knocks me out and keeps me asleep which is great as my anxiety usually wakes me up through out the night. I do feel a little better mood wise but not enough. I am on 15mg, one before bed. The groggy sleepy feeling has started to wear off today and I am able to function. I feel like this could work if it wasn't for the weight gain, I struggle with my weight as a size 14. I don't want to now feel depressed because I've put on weight. I've given it a 5 as I am still unsure, I don't know if I will renew this prescription."


"My doctor is having me take this medication because I have excessive bleeding. So far the bleeding has stopped but I'm on day 10 and the side effects are kicking in.  I have breast tenderness, stomach cramps and I makes me very tired.  Overall so far it has done what it needs to do.  I go off of it in 2 days I'm hoping that my body will regulate."


"I have been on Seroquel 300mg for over 5 years. I suffer from bipolar disorder, with this you don't sleep. Also am a recovering drug addict, due to pain from back surgery. If I didn't have this medicine I don't think I could live.
This drug is taken with other medicines."


"My experience was very negative. I felt light headed and dizzy immediately and within two weeks I started falling asleep at random times, even while driving on the freeway. I had violent nightmares. I threw up constantly and according to my family started to lose my memory. I couldn't sleep more than a few hours at a time without waking up and having a panic attack. Sleeping medication did nothing to help that. The side effects became so debilitating that I had to stop it and move to something else."


"Increases blood sugars. x 2 higher than when not taking it."


"I opted to get the Paraguard since it is hormone free.  The doctor told me to go when my period is its heaviest and to take 2 Advil beforehand.  He also mentioned it would most likely be painful since I never had kids before.  I waited two months for the device to be shipped.  Paraguard has to call you twice to confirm you want it shipped.  I don't answer strange numbers on my phone, and they did not leave a voicemail.  I had to call them directly to get it straightened out.  The day that it was inserted, I was in a lot of pain.  I almost blacked out and I felt nauseous for 2 hours afterwards.  I fell asleep for 2 hours when I got home, and when I woke up, I felt like I was having bad period cramps.  I felt fine the next day."


"Helped me through paranoia and delusions during psychosis but gave me pretty bad akathisia (inability to stay put )"


"I was told to take 1 at night it'll make you drowsy. Well it did absolutely nothing for me.  Called doc after 3 days of giving it a shot and was told to take 2 at a time for 3 days. The first and second night I was wired, completely hyper couldn't sit still, couldn't sleep. It did make the spasms stop and decrease the pain. Waiting on word of what they will switch me to. Most of the time my spasms are at night."


"Please excuse any grammatical or spelling errors, i am extremely exhausted. I've had implanon twice, 6 years in a row. Both times I had it put in I was in mild discomfort for a few days. the mood swings went away in a couple months. By the six month or so my pieriods regulated itself (and got a lot lighter!). never really had a problem with gaining weight or acne. I'm getting it again for another time,all in all i love this thing. keep me baby-free please!"


"Too many different generic on market, some work, some don't."


"Worked fantastic!! I highly recommend."


"I recently had my IUD inserted 4 days ago. I am 21 never have been pregnant and let me tell you that pain was so uncomfortable but it went away quickly. I took ibuprofen and still had some painful but tolerable cramps. The day of my insertion I was on my cycle, pretty heavy bleeding but it went away faster than it ever has when I was on the pill."


"Typical hyperhidrosis story, here. All of my white undershirts have nasty looking yellow/brown stains on the pits and a lot of colored shirts have white stains from sweating so much that over the counter deodorant had stained the pits. I'll admit, I didn't have a ton of hope for drysol, as no deodorant has ever worked for me. This stuff works. I'm amazed. The only problem is that it is excruciatingly itchy. I thought this would only be for the first couple of nights, but nope. Every single night it itches like hell for about 30 minutes. Even before I apply it, there's a slight itch. Occasionally the itching is accompanied by a slight burning sensation, but not always. The stuff works wonders and I'd rate it 10/10 if it wasn't for the itch."


"I have been on this pill for a couple of months now. It's great with acne and no weight gain or anything but I will say it's absolutely horrible with moods. I've had the worst mood swings. I'm depressed and I literally cry over ANYthing and when I start, I cant stop!"


"I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2005 and tried a variety of things, none of which worked, and actually some of them had bad side effects (Seroquel, for example).  I tried Lamictal as a last-ditch effort, but was apprehensive due to the Stevens-Johnson syndrome issue but that didn't happen to me.  I'm now on 350mg of the drug since then and although I can say it has treated my depression, it has not worked all that well for controlling bipolar symptoms, mainly the buying sprees and bad on the spot decision making (thinking nothing can harm me).  I have been seeing commercials on tv for Latuda and so I might ask my doctor about that.  Also there are some other side effects of the Lamictal that aren't pleasant ..."


"I've had this implant since July 2014 and now I'm comfortable weighing in on it.  I'm 26, 5'2", 125 lbs on average.  I experienced mood swings only during the firsy two weeks after having implanted.  I had about three monthly periods that got consecutively lighter until I didn't have and now still don't have periods at all.  I'm regularly active and this hasn't effected my workouts at all."


"I must say that the pill worked well in doing it's job to clear the yeast infection. But, I went through horrible side effects. Continuous irritation of the vaginal area. I think I was just allergic to the medication! But for everyone else, thumbs up! That's if you are not allergic to it."


"I got given it at first by emergency department when a rash was breaking out over my face.

It works. But I also have anxiety and have found it to be way better than Valium etc.  I feel relaxed and too not sleep I'll just take half a tablet but at night the 25 mg tablet helps my allergies and is a god send to relax the mind.  I love it.  I've noticed some people take it for nausea. I have always used stemitel and that works almost instantly. And I have no adverse reactions to either. I don't know why they don't use this for anxiety and such"


"I've had it for about 4 months now. I had it put in at my 6 week checkup after having my son. I was losing a lot of weight before I had it. Then my weight loss just stopped. I've gained so much. My sex life is non existent. I'm constantly feeling depressed. And I have no period, I prefer to have it."


"I took Chantix for 5 weeks about a year ago. I loved it at first; it helped so much with the cravings. I had to stop taking it due to the debilitating headaches it caused. The real problem is the headaches didn't stop when I stopped the Chantix. I'm still seeing a neurologist for daily headaches that present with both migraine and tension symptoms. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but it was most definitely not worth it."


"I had 4 surgeries. Massive tumor removal that removed some small intestine. They removed colon and formed j-pouch and ileostomy and then reversal... I lost so much weight from diarrhea I had to go onto tpn. Surgeon finally had me start opium tincture after several other things didn't work at all. I had to beg to get it because I didn't "try hard enough" to stick with his regimen of meds. My problem this whole time is that Im intolerant to sulfites. Sulfites are in so many things. research. It is processed into cornstarch which has been in the lomotil and ibuprofen. Sulfites is in many fiber supliments, modified food starches, artificial sugars and colorings and many others. Do a food diary to be sure. Diarrhea hit me 2hrs after exposure"


"I have tried all kinds of treatments for my cold sores. None seem to help, until I found Retre gel. This product is great! It stops the growth of the lesion from the start. The benzocaine helps to numb the area, which helps to keep your fingers and tongue away from the sore. I love this product and will tell others about it and I'll use it always."


"I started Dec. 15th 2012 and this has been my life saver! I am 5'9 I was 252lbs when I weighed in. I couldn't believe it. I had never weighed that much.
I used to be an athlete growing up and after 4 kids my metabolism slowed down to nothing. Within the 1st month I lost 22 lbs! I had lost 40lbs by month 3. Total I have lost 57lbs in 6 months. I have been allowed to take it continuously, but I personally tapered it off so I wouldn't become dependent on it. I still have a months worth of pills left over and I'm still losing! I walk for exercise, but nothing major. Gum helps for dry mouth and I drink a ton of water and eat off a small salad plate.
My goal is 160lbs. I hope to reach that by August!"


"I've tried so many different pills, Implanon, Depo Provera, it seemed like everything for almost 10 years now. And the best one for my body has been Nuvaring. All birth control makes me nauseous but the Nuvaring is not nearly as bad as the others. Other than that, no moods swings, easy and effective, some slip outs during intercourse, I don't take it out until its time for a new one so no periods, and it even made my breasts go up a size. So I definitely recommend this to everyone who hasn't found a birth control they love yet to give it a try!"


"I've been on the ring for 4 yrs. I was on the patch before that, but I had an allergic reaction to the adhesive.
I leave each ring in for 4 weeks without any gap weeks so I don't have periods (though I take a gap week each year). I do still get moody, cramps, headaches, and sometimes spotting during the would-be PMS week. I have gained some weight since I started the ring, though I am not sure if this is because of the ring or just my eating habits (or if the ring causes my sweet tooth).
I take it out for sex, it can be out for up to 3 hrs a day. I have a short vagina, so the ring can be on my cervix and still be right at the opening, which can be annoying because I can feel it (not the rings fault, just a note for others with this issue)."


"I have been on the ring for 2 years, but I am now realizing that my mood swings, hair loss and zero sex drive is from this birth control. I was to put the ring in yesterday but I'm didn't.  "


"This is the best med for Allergies ever!  It will cause some sleepiness, so I wait until I'm at work, take the XYZAL, and drink one cup of coffee. Talk to your allergist about this stuff!"


"I was prescribed this by my doctor and it was terrible. I stopped taking it after 5 days because my doctor told me to. It made me angry all the time. It did not help my concentration. Also, 3 days after taking it I still have shortness of breathe, my heart is still beating hard, and the left part of my chest has immense pressure on it. I'm never taking this stuff again. Trust me, nobody needs it."


"This did not work. It made me dizzy and tied my stomach in knots. Provided absolutely no relief for my UTI."


"My daughter used Enbrel for one month. We were given a free sample, it worked within three weeks, but we cannot afford to continue using enbrel, our insurance will not cover it. Now my daughter has the sores back and is close to losing her job because of those sores."


"Been positive since 2008 and within 3 months of Atripla was undetectable and been that way ever since thank God, its been a long road but grateful to be alive. The medication is best taken at night and not during the day for it has a very dizzy and weakening spell to it."


"I had 4 rituxan infusions last year. Discontinued all meds in Dec. 2016. Symptoms returned within 2 weeks. Blood work in Jan. 2017 showed my numbers were still as high as when I was first tested a year earlier. Started again with the azathioprine and have had 4  rituxan infusions this year. Will not know if infusions worked until I have more blood work. My infusions take approximately 5 hours to avoid most side effects."


"I've been on Chateal birth control pills for 3 weeks now and I've experienced constipation, fatigue, nausea, and really bad mood swings. But I guess my body is just getting used to it because it's my first time trying birth control pills ever.

Provided by Planned Parenthood"


"This is my first day taking Nuvigil 200mg.  I felt jittery for the first 4 hours after taking it.  Got a pretty severe headache around that 4 hour mark.  Took some tylenol which relieved the headache and I felt great the rest of the day.  Worked a 10 hour shift in a physically demanding job and I still was able to come home and stay up a few hours before going to sleep.  I will keep posting my continued experience with this medication.  It really helped me out to get on here and see what I could expect with this medication.  Thanks to everyone. Oh yeah I take this medication to help with the fatigue caused by MS.  I was taking amantadine.  Which kept me awake but didn't help my body from feeling completely exhausted."


"I have been taking Xanax for 4 years. This pill has done wonders for me. It really did give me control of my life back. I was prescribed 1 mg. I was afraid to take it at first because of all the stories I have heard about addiction. Well, when I first tried it, it was an immediate success and I knew I found the key to living the rest of my life normally. My doctor didn't just throw this at me. This was our last option. It was the best one.

I do get dizzy sometimes. I also experienced weight gain. That was mainly because as I started to live normally again I stopped working out and other methods that I used to help combat panic. That was mainly a healthier life style that I assumed would naturally help me think clear."


"I had outpatient surgery last week and received propofol to induce general anesthesia.  By the time the anesthetist removed the syringe from the IV tubing after injecting it, I already felt it taking effect and lost consciousness within a few seconds. Within the blink of an eye, I awoke in the recovery room with no ill effects.  After reading some of the comments here, I worried that the propofol injection would be painful, but there was absolutely no pain - did not feel a thing."


"Geodon was a lifesaver at first. But after three months, I have developed leg twitches. I'm going to see my doctor on Wednesday to find out how to get off this medication. The twitching is awful."


"I have been taking 0.5 mg of avodart twice a day for 4 years.  I have noticed no side effects and lab results verify that nearly all testosterone conversion to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is blocked.  Since prostate cancer growth is stimulated by DHT, and not testosterone, my PSA has remained low (below 1)with no tumor regrowth (after radiation therapy)."


"Well I visited my Doctor for regular yearly medical check up. Upon reading my last blood test my A1C was 7.6 which she was scared for me was high. She ask me if want to try this new medication Trulicity. I said why not, side effect diarrhea but lost weight in four weeks from 308lb to 297lbs. And A1C from 7.6 to 6.2. And having a good ability to control  what I eat, lets say I don't feel like eating everything I see. For me trulicity works. I started on 0 .75mg now on double dose 1.5 which is not bad for the price $25 a week. Still taking my metformin 850mg. First time after my weight gain I have in control of what i eat."


"Ive been taking this for two years now and I love it! I work crazy shifts at work that dont allow me to wake up and go to sleep at the same time EVER, so when I end up taking it 2 hours late I dont have to worry about it not being as effective. Also, apparently if you completely miss a dose its okay too, I have yet to try this out but It seems awesome in theory. The only real side effect it has caused me is completely losing my sexdrive. I only have one the two days of the Iron pills. But as I get older I find thats not really all that important to me anymore anyways! I do take sleep aids everynight to combat the sleep loss however I am not sure if its the medicine that causes this or just other mental disorders I have."


"I started taking it on day 2 after dr prescribed. Although I gained some strength back but the tremendous headache, nauseousness, vomiting and diarrhea was horrible. The worst part was insomnia, could barely sleep, only slept 2-3 hrs the most at each time, body still aching. "


"I love Beyaz. I was on Beyaz for 4 years and decided to try a new pill (Dumb). I switched to another birth control for a year and broke out terribly, battled depression and had inexplicable mood swings. I switched back to Beyaz two months ago and my acne has cleared COMPLETELY after a month and a half, my breasts grew a cup size, and I am not gaining weight. I am also a runner and was worried about the 'blood clot' scandals with this medicine, however, I have never had a problem. It is an incredible birth control pill for me and I absolutely LOVE it. I am also a nurse- from my understanding, I want to note that many of the issues with blood clots are in HIGH RISK patients- those who smoke, who are over 40 etc. Take care of your body!"


"My 8 year old son has been on this mediation for 1 year and a half. He started at 20mg now he is taking 40mg. I have noticed that it does not seem to work and after trying for 9 months to get him off and on something else I am going to take him to a different doctor. Given the fact that after 9 months it is still not working another doctor would try something different but his Doctor just keeps upping the dosage. I have also noticed side effects that disturb. It worries me because my son is usually happy go lucky all the time and with this medicine he is VERY EASILY upset, not himself at all. SO PLEASE BE AWARE OF EVERYTHING YOUR CHILD DOES OR ACTS WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICATION."


"I use the regular Klonopin tablets 3x a day, but the wafers work great when I have a panic attack or I'm having a particularly hard time falling off to sleep."


"Awful experience. NOT the same as loestrin 24 fe, which worked perfectly for me. This medication caused pains in my stomach, severe shoulder and back acne, bloating and cramps. My mood swings were crazy and I felt awful on this birth control. I gave it 3 months and it didn't regulate. I developed the worst acne I have ever had and it is painful."


"I got the implant in march '16 so I haven't had it all that long yet. The day I got it I had my period for two weeks straight and was spotting pretty frequently after that. I definitely feel like the implant has changed me. I often feel depressed and am extremely moody and I hasn't effected my libido thankfully. Also I keep having dreams that I'm either pregnant or have a baby which started after I got the implant. I feel so bad for my bf but he knows its the side effects. I finally stopped spotting hopefully, but other than the mood swings I can't really complain. It beats having to take a pill everyday."
