"After trying several other medications viibryd does help with my depression. Unfortunately I have had many side effects including insomnia, Vivid abnormal dreams, night sweats, and numbness in my hands. I have been taking 20 milligrams a day for almost a year. My depression has started to increase and I am hesitant to increase the viibryd to 40 milligrams a day because I am afraid the side effects will get worse.

The drug manufacturer offers a very good rebate program on their website. I get $100 refund from them each month so my cost is only $115 per month."


"I was given Doryx for acne and it seems to have made it worse. "


"I have been on opiates for chronic back pain and DJD for more than 15 years.  I have always had bowel issues, even before being on pain meds.  So adding more meds made it nearly impossible to evacuate completely.  For years I have been taking 6 or so prescription and otc laxative meds per day with very poor results.
A year ago, I was so backed up that I was vomiting repeatedly.  Long story short, after the ER doc checked for obstructions, he gave me a shot of Relistor and sent me home.  15 minutes later, when I got home I had to rush to the bathroom.  First complete 'normal' evacuation in years.  Too bad my pc won't prescribe it for me to take when needed."


"I just got my skyla IUD inserted today. My gyno said I had to be on my menstrual cycle in order to get the insertion. So about 30mins before my appointment I took 1000mg of a pain reliever, since I've read many women do. However, my gyno did not recommend me to take anything. Anyways I was one of those girls looking up everything I could about skyla, reading good and also bad comments. I was nervous. Unfortunately I was not one of the lucky ones that didn't feel anything. It hurt me, I had horrible cramps while I was getting it inserted. It did go very fast though, maybe 30-45seconds. It hurt but by the time I knew it, it was in ☺ after I had a sonogram to make sure it was in place (which is was). I've been having mild cramps since."


"I will admit, I was worried about using this product. I use Tretinoin Cream 0.025%.  At first, you will experience some dryness in your skin however, if you skip a day and use an oil-free lotion, it does help.  I've been using it for close to a year and the results are amazing.  Yes, I do get free breakouts here and there but it is to be expected.  Wonderful product, though."


"Headaches and a little nausea at the start, now 4 months in, I don't know how I coped before. The anxious "bad butterflies" that I thought were normal, have gone away. Obsessive over thinking and cringing after I got home because what I may have said, has gone away. Feeling almost hyper active and intense when in a group situation, almost gone. Road rage....work in progress! Hahaha. Sex drive has diminished but this might be a good thing as was obsessive about it before. Less pressure. Wish I had started a lot earlier. Thought my anxiety was part of my personality, but the reality is, without it, I'm back to me again."


"Wonderful birth control. My fiance feels the Nuvaring but doesn't mind. No side effects and it doesn't affect my depression. It occasionally moves the wrong way but is easy enough to move back in to place. I don't have to remember to take it at any one time and only have to remember anything for it twice a month. Love it!"


"I've been on Microgestin for 3 weeks. I started taking it on the 1st day of my period and it make my (normally VERY regular period) last for 8 days (it usually lasts 4-5)! For the entire time I have been very moody, bloated, retaining water, have had cramps, nausea, acne, breakthrough bleeding, EVERYTHING. THE WHOLE TIME. I literally feel like I have been on my period for 3 weeks. I keep hoping that eventually my body will get used to these hormones. My doctor said it will take 1-3 months to regulate, but I don't know if I want to live like I'm on my period for 3 full months. "


"I have been dealing overactive bladder for years. I tried different medications and they would either stop working or send my blood pressure sky high. My doctor and I decided to go with Botox. I know there is a chance of having to self cath. I asked to have a smaller amount than normal to see if I tolerate it.

I did it yesterday. I initially had burning and some other things but that has stopped. Apart from being tired, I am ok. I am still urinating ok, which is good. I have an appointment in a few weeks to see if I am retaining urine.

I will update when I go back."


"I have fibromyalgia, and have had this condition for many years. I tried Cymbalta for about two weeks, and never felt like I was in my right mind at all during the time I took it. I would much rather deal with my pain, and feel somewhat alive and painful, rather than a zombie. I do not recommend this drug: it's hard on the liver, your urine will smell very bad, you're going to be extremely sleepy, and a feeling of being not quite right. If that's what it takes to take pain away, I'd much rather work on massage, de-stressing techniques, walks, and praying than to feel like half a human being. That's been my experience, I glad I had the experience, as it taught me there's no easy route to pain relief. My hope is the new sodium-blockers!"


"Although my doctor prescribed it mainly for Bipolar Depression, he will temporarily increase the dose in response to emerging manic symptoms especially racing thoughts, agitation, extreme irritability and dilusions.

Positive - Significantly (80-90%) calms my thoughts. Helps me fall and stay asleep.  Keeps my depression in check. I am now compliant with all of my medications and trust my doctor.

Negative - higher doses blunt my affect. I must take my dosage at bedtime because of tremendous sedation which is when the drug saturation is highest in my blood and brain. If I must get up during the night, for example bathroom, I'm disoriented and dizzy. I could never take it during the day. Weight gain from "munchies." Sex-related problems"


"I have been taking Implanon since January 2012, the first 2 years it was wonderful. No pregnancy, I actually lost weight, I had a monthly "period" which consisted of minimal cramping and being moody, yet no bleeding. On the 3rd year though, during mid February I started having a period. It is now the beginning of April and I have had 4 periods lasting a week each! I cannot deal with having a period after not having one for over 2 years! I love Implanon but if I'm going to continue having a period every week or two I might consider something else or replacing it earlier than the 3 year mark if possible."


"I'm using Retin-a 0.025 gel version of tretinoin. My review is more of an encouragement rather than full review. My full review will happen after at least a year of usage. Current usage - 2 months.

So, you see, within 2 months of usage already deserves a 8 score rating from me. I could easily give it higher but I rather wait for my full review.

Now, I have read many of what the users said here and on the Internet. It will be best for new users not to pay too much attention of users below 2 months of usage. Because all you hear is pain, breakout, worries and eventually the key way they use = give up. It's your choice. But please read those who have actually used tretinoin for at least 6 months.
"


"I found it to be about as effective as Zyrtec, but it made me extremely drowsy. I tried only a half dose each time, and could barely get out of bed the next day. It works fairly well, but for me it's not worth the side effects."


"I have just taken my 2nd dose see no diffrence yet but slept better last night! I have been on three diffrent antibiotics in the last 3 months and none of them worked for my sinuses but I hope this one does!"


"Ativan has been a God send for me during these stressful times. It has helped me sleep better and has helped with my anxiety because of the stress I'm under. My doctor has prescribed 1mg x 2 a day as needed and that seems like the perfect dose for me. I also use pain medicines for prior spine surgery and have had no problem with this medication."


"Was prescribed gabapentin for. Restless burning legs at nite 300 mg. I heard some bad review is so didn't  really take it. Got hurt at work aggravating my sciatica in my left leg and knee to the point that nothing took the pain away. So I started taking 600 mg 2 times a day and I can say so far it definitely gives me about 75/90 % relief of my sciatic pain especially when I take Motrin 800 mg with it. Hope it continues to work"


"This is the first birth control where I haven't had spotting or had an allergic reaction to! I just finished my third pack last night, and the week I was supposed to have my period was the best it's been in a long time. I did cramp a little the first two days, but nothing ibuprofen can't fix. My period was so light I could get away with just wearing a liner and it only lasted about 2-3 days. This birth control hasn't helped with my acne at all, but I don't think it's necessarily worse which is a good thing. I'll be going on accutane soon for that anyways. Another thing to note is I ALWAYS take it at exactly the same time everyday with maybe a minute or so to spare, which I'm sure is the reason I've had such luck with it!"


"Works very well for migraines. "


"I have been on Kariva for less than 2 years, and I guess I never read the drug information because my sex drive is near nothing. I even get annoyed when sex is brought up. My period is only 3 days long though, and no nausea or cramping to go with. But, the fact that my body refuses sex now is getting ridiculous. My doctor suggested it for me because I am pretty moody or my moods flipped a lot on everything else I tried. But Kariva was the last thing I could try. I'm breaking up with it. I miss being intimate with my boyfriend..."


"I got the Implanon birth control because I didn't want to worry about taking a pill everyday. It only hurt a little to have it put in, but really a few hours of pain for three years of peace of mind is a small price to pay.  I've had Implanon for almost the full three years and here are my pros and cons.  The pros: I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday, I can have sex anytime and not worry about pregnancy, I NEVER have cramps anymore, my periods are very light and only last a few days.  The cons: my sex drive has gone down to zero (which if you never want to have sex you're not going to get pregnant) my periods only come every couple of months (there was a span of time where I actually went seven months without a period)."


"I've been on this 7-8 years and it works well. I able to maintain my idle body weight. When 1st taking it, I was starving and ate everything under the soon. After adjusting to the medicine, I'm able to stay at 115 lbs which is perfect for me. I also have fibromyalgia and feel tired all the time."


"I got a severe migraine after taking it once. I ended up going to the hospital to get a needle to ease the pain. "


"I had a fungal toenail infection, went to doctor, prescribed Cephalexin 500 mg cap 2 twice daily. As I have IBS, took it with food to not upset my stomach, 1st 2, no affect but when I took the next two thought I was going to die, I woke up at 2 am with severe stomach pain, nausea, dizzy,  I was draped over the bathroom counter thought I was going to pass out, within 10 mins my hair was soaking wet & had perspiration running down my face and having diarrhea at the same time I live alone,  73 was considering calling 911. next 2 mornings I saw that my gums had been bleeding, not red but dark purplish black, as I have dentures, in was inside and between my teeth, found it can cause gum bleeding. Talked to pharmacy said to stop it. Never again."


"I used it about 30 min ago and it's itching as hell!!!! I feel I'm about to cry because I can scratch down there. This makes the symptoms even worse than the actual YI, do NOT use it!!"


"I have debilitating pains from my costochrondritis for years. I have tried naproxen, Mobic, and Voltaren gel with no relief. My rheumatologist then suggested Celebrex. This has been a lifesaver. Celebrex has made my chest pains go from a 9-10 to about a 0-1. I would recommend this medicine to anyone dealing with costochrondirits. Even the price is not bad. I pay 60 dollars for a 90 day supply."


"I'm taking 300 mg Bupropion and still extremely depressed.  Psychiatrist gave me a month of 5mg samples of Brintellix to supplement the Bupropion.  I have been taking it for 5 days now and have severe nausea & vomiting along with constipation. Nausea & vomiting occurs 20 min. to 1/2 hour after taking so the drug isn't absorbed into my system to have an effect on my depression.  I am on other medications that I was taking at the same time as the Brintellix.  I've decided to take the Bintellix with food in the morning and all other meds at night due to the vomiting so that the other drugs can be effective.  I can deal with nausea & constipation, but the not vomiting. I will continue taking and hope the vomiting stops. Fingers crossed."


"I had a severe infection in my mouth, lips, corners of mouth, throat and this medication cleared it up in no time."


"Zyban is a very strange feeling. I have been on it for three days and my urges are way down. I still fight triggers like coffee and post eating but even when I tried to smoke it tasted very strange and made me feel a little dizzy. Well see how the next couple of weeks go but I'm excited to quit! Only drawback is it is really hard to fall asleep."


"Turns out I jumped the gun in touting  xifaxan as a potential prednisone replacement for flare remission - at least on it's own. The initial symptomatic relief continued but hit a plateau, requiring the addition of a corticosteroid. So my Dr. additionally put me on entocort ec, but this flare remains stubborn. No longer willing to suffer, I requested prednisone. Day 3 and striking improvements. I will taper off the pred using entocort to reap the corticosteroid benefits while minimizing the nasty side-effects. But because Xifaxan is so well tolerated, I stayed on it and will continue - probably even after a hopefully successful taper off the pred and entocort. I'm curious as to whether Xifaxan can be used in conjunction with probiotics."


"For 10+ years I've been on many different pain medications and still had severe pain to where I could not function on a daily basis, it was horrible. Finally after a year of different new meds and my prescription costs of $400 for a 30 day supply for one tablet a day! Insurance wouldn't pay and I certainly couldn't afford it, and my insurance still refuses to pay for any chronic pain medication. My pain doc talked to insurance and said they would pay for Methadone but nothing else! I was leary at first about going on methadone but let me tell you I'm so very happy I did, I take 10 mg 3 times a day and I finally have a life I can manage unlike before! I say it's my miracle medicine because I am able to to things instead of being bed ridden!"


"I reccently started the Yasmin pill and at first I honestly didn't think I would be able to carry on with it because it was making me feel so nauseous! I also got really bad headaches which caused me to be really moody. However, my doctor told me to give it a few weeks to settle and for my system to get used to it. I was not happy about this let me say! I wanted to scream at her to feel how ill I felt. It got better though on the fifth day I woke up and I felt fine all of a sudden, all of the side effects I was feeling had just gone. I had terrible skin and it has make my skin so much better and I feel fine now. If you're taking it and you're feeling ill like I did - I know it feels like crap but honestly just hold on cause it will go."


"I have struggled with acne since I was fifteen and nothing I would take or use helped it ever, and I did not want to take acutane. My doctor suggested I take birth control to help clear my skin and this has made my skin completely clear and I'm very glad. I did break out worse for the first three months but then my skin was completely clear, I did not gain weight in fact I lost two pounds at first, and it did make my boobs bigger, and they were sore at first but nothing terrible. The only problem I have is that it does make me really emotional the week before or the week after my period but nothing extreme, just irritability, sometimes crying at random things."


"I started on Sronyx going from Ortho Tricylen Lo which is HORRIBLE. I felt like death every time I took Ortho. I had swollen breasts, mood swings, severe nausea. Sronyx was a God send. I had no symptoms, and it cleared up my mild acne. My sex drive is back."


"It literally feels like fire ants are attacking me on the inside. I will never use this product again. It made my discomfort tremendously worse. My legs were shaking from the burning and pain. Do not buy this hell induced drug."


"So far so good with the Hysingla ER 20mg 1x per day. I was on 4-10/325 Loratabs per day. My doctor recently put me on Hysingla with 2-10/325 Loratabs for break through pain. I have been on it for 3 days and I can already tell you that it has an amazing effect on my pain. It is not totally gone and I know it never will but it has helped so much! I have spinal stenosis and a few disk problems along with nerve problems! I highly suggest trying this!!"


"I had started taking Armour over 6 months ago and it did better for me than Synthroid or Nature-Throid. Eyebrows and head hair started to grow in, energy improved, brain fog was lifting, all the rest of the good things we go through to get back to ourselves. About 8 weeks ago the symptoms all started coming back, including some new ones, like the rash on my hands someone else mentioned happened with them. I thought I was doing something wrong. Checked my diet, sleep, etc., all good. I did an internet search and turned up so many websites where people shared their stories of problems with Armour and it all clicked. I switched to WP a week ago and already feel better."


"Update - Now over one year taking Tikosyn (500 ug twice a day) in combination with metoprolol (25 mg, twice a day) Went from 100% persistent atrial fibrillation to 5% occasional episodes. Some side effects (dry mouth, dry eyes, a little fatigue (unless I force myself to be active), but nothing as debilitating as atrial fibrillation.  Still highly recommend this therapy!"


"me and my boyfriend were having sex and the condom broke, we didn't know it broke until we were done. i in return started freaking out and ran to cvs to get plan b, i took it an hour after the unprotected sex. (aug 31) the next few days i started having minor back pains/ lower abdomen cramps/headaches and intense mood swings. but surely 5 days later i woke up to my period, 2 weeks early in fact. plan b works wonders, now on the path to get birth control I'm only 16 so it truly saved my life"


"This is the absolute best thing that I have used for migraines, muscle aches, and menstrual pain. I wish that OrudisKT was still available OTC."


"Back pain, vomiting, fever, stomach pain"


"I was prescribed Escitalopram about 2 years ago, it has been a life saver for me.

I never had any side affects either.

And it started working the first week!"


"Helps relieve muscle discomfort especially around the spine."


"My kids were exposed to the flu and were prescribed liquid Tamiflu as a preventive measure. I was able to reason with my 5 year old to get her to take it but my 2 year old was having none of it. I tasted it myself to see what the issue was. It really is disgusting. For $200 out of pocket I would expect a medicine designed for children to taste a little better."


"This medicine has helped bring cysts to the surface and clear them.  Redness persists on cheeks though. Skin will look completely clear one day and a large cyst like pimple will still develop and appear the next day.  I have read absorption rate increases by taking it with fatty foods so need to make a habit of that.  Back of upper arms gets very red and dry and needed a steroid prescribed to help with that.  Back and chest cleared completely.  Dr. Dan lip ointment worked wonders for dry lips."


"Took one 250 mg tab of levofloxacin at 6 p.m. yesterday and am still experiencing side effects 18 hours later. My symptoms are reduced but are replaced with a 6 out of 10 on the pain scale- stomach ache. I have nausea, heart palpitations, dizziness, headache and joint aches. Ive called my doc back today to see about getting alternative med. I will not take another dose of this medication."


"I experienced euphoria for about 3 hours. It was very surprising for my family members to see me in this state, they were very worried."


"I am now 66 and have used Methadone for 15 years and have been able to go down on the dosage from 30mg.  mg.  day to 5 or 10mg. Per day.  If not abused it to me is a wonderful pain management for severe chronic pain"


"I have been on Januvia for about a year and a half. My AIC went down from 9.0 to 8.0. However, I have developed nausea, dizziness, vomiting which I never know when it will hit. Had colonoscopy and they found nothing. In last six months developed dumbness in my right arm and hand, reflux which keeps me up at night, constant urination about every 45 minutes and fatigue (this has added three more pills to my daily intake for those symptoms). Told my doctor and he said to keep taking Januvia and that I was not getting any younger. However, I read here that others have similar side affects once on Junuvia."


"I started ParaGard about three months after giving birth to my second child.  I had it removed 14 months later.  Pros: 1) I didn't have to remember to take it.  2) Didn't change my mood or weight 3) Comforting that there weren't any unnecessary hormones in my body 4) It was effective in preventing pregnancy.  Cons: 1) My periods lasted for THREE weeks on average (sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more).  -I was told it will get back to normal, give it a few months -After it didn't, they refused to believe it was the IUD because it was copper/nonhormonal.  2) less sex with my husband because of the heaviness and length of my periods.
 -------- I had it removed and my periods were almost instantly back to normal (3-5 days)."


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


"I LOVE this pill. Some people might be scared by no period but I wasn't. I never got my period while I was on it and I never had any mood swings or weight gain. I did however after 5 years of taking started to stay dry during intercourse. But I got off the pill and my lubrication turned back to normal 2 months after being off. Other than that, I highly suggest this pill."


"It stopped leg pain at night."


"I have been on this pill for almost 2 months, being the first pill I've ever tried. I have no complaints in the effectiveness, when taken the same time every day, give or take 5 or 10 mins, it prevents pregnancy. However, I've unfortunately suffered the side effects, the first month I was spotting for about 2 weeks until my period which thankfully was now only 2 days long vs my previous heavy 5-7 days I normally had. I had intense headaches, nausea, and occasional mood swings. Another side effect that wasn't common (as far as I can see from these reviews, yet still possible) vaginal itching in this second month. It is bothersome. Yet, these side effects seem to be diminishing, I'm not complaining, this is just my body getting used to it."


"I had my Skyla IUD inserted a little over a week ago. The insertion hurt but not nearly as bad as I was expecting. It felt like a very severe period cramp. I took two Tylenol before the insertion which helped. I was able to drive myself back home from the appointment. I had horrible cramping for the rest of the day but that was gone the next morning when I woke up. Since then I have had some light cramping here and there but nothing too bad. I have also had spotting every day which is normal. I switched to this after 5 years of being on the pill. I was having constant headaches and high blood pressure the past 6 months. As soon as I stopped the pill and got Skyla my headaches are gone for the most part and my blood pressure is normal."


"I hope no one makes a desicion based on other peoples opinion.  I didnt at first like it becuz o fcouse 8/2 sounds like more than 4/2, so as an addict more is always better, But all of our bodys absorb meds diffrently, it can depende on alot of things. Subs do give u more energy and takes an hour to dissolve I wake up an hour before it is time to get up and put it in then go back to sleep for an hour so that  I'm good to go when I wake up...smart huh"


"I have suffered for anxiety for.most of my life. Starting as early as 10 years old. As I got older it only got worse. I'm naturaly the quiet type that isn't very sociable inept. After higschool I started suffering deep depression. Tried self medicating with weed and other things only to find it worse. Xanax is the only thing that can help with my anxiety and depression all I need is 1 and I feel like I am in control. I take trazodone nightly and xanax as needed and I can honestly say I love my life."


"I'm on my second month with Chateal. Honestly I'm will stop using it for good. I gained 12 pounds in less than two months. I go every single day to the gym. I eat healthy healthy healthy!! My mood changed. I can't see my boyfriend, because I feel like he is disgusting. I can't remember the last time I had sex with him. I have nausea, can't sleep, my knees are weak, my stomach hurts so bad. The good thing about it is that my periods are better. Every woman is different"


"Started Jardiance 3 months ago.  Just had my first follow-up appointment with my doctor yesterday.  A1c dropped from 8.0 to 6.6, fasting BG dropped from 155 to 104, lost 12 pounds and blood pressure was slightly lower.  No side effects other than urinating more than I used to.  Also drinking more water so I'm sure that's part of it.  Also taking Metformin but it seemed to stop working after about 6 months so my doctor added Jardiance.  Feel great and couldn't be happier...25 pounds to go."


"Works fast and was effective for me, but the side effects left me in never-never land.  Could not think straight, had no short-term memory, was dizzy, and had no sense of time.  Good Luck and keep trying till you find one that works for you."


"I have been taking Yasmin for 8 years (with a 10 month break after 5 years). I stopped to have a baby, pregnant within the first month off the pill and back on it right after birth. This pill has been great! Clear skin, no weight gain or side effects. I think people starting any pill will have a rough beginning but give it a chance. All body types are different so nothing works for everyone.... But this worked great for me."


"I had terrible back pain and leg pain. Walking was getting very difficult even for short distances. The effect of Cymbalta was almost amazing. Within a week my pain had diminished to such a degree I felt almost normal. My pain was so bad I used to cry almost every night. I am just hoping this medicine keeps working for me."


"extreme increased anxiety"


"I've been off and on of this medication for about 8 years. I originally started it to help me quit smoking (which worked wonders for me, I was able to quit) and later was put back on it for seasonal depression disorder. It helps me a lot with depression, especially as it worsens in the winter.
Side effects I experience is increased anxiety, heart palpitations, increased heart rate.
I've been on 300 mg (150mg twice a day) before and my anxiety was horrible. If you're on a higher dose and suffer with anxiety you may want to try a lower dose. I currently take 150 mg a day and it's very helpful. It gives you that spark of motivation you need in the mornings."


"I have pain in my hands, elbows, back, knees and heels.  This medication was prescribed to me by my Reumatologist, 75 mg twice a day; I have only been taking one a day.  I have been taking it for a very long time with no side effects what so ever.  I cannot tell you that I have no pain at all.  I just know that I would not be able to keep my full time job without this medication.  I also would not be able to have any quality of life.  I know in the near future I will have to take two a day, I am hoping I do as well.  :)"


"I have been on Adipex for two days now. Already I can feel the difference. Food is no longer an obsession and I want to do other things. I've not so far had any side effects except for the super dry mouth that everyone describes, just adds to my water intake so I am fine with that. I do not want to eat. I have to actually be hungry to eat. I lost 3.4 lbs in two days time. I can't wait to see what happens with this pill. I weigh 255 and that is too much, I wasn't even that big when I was pregnant. Weird thing too when I actually do get hungry, I crave healthy veggies and fruits and such! I do feel a bit of a 'rush' about an hour after taking it, goes away after a bit. First day I was a bit shaky but didn't experience that since."


"This is a God send!

No more worries for taking a pill every day! I have had no side effects in the 3 years I've been on it. Also at the end of each week I have to rip the patch off....even after gym sessions/daily showers/swimming.....it's stuck on real good! Definitely highly reccomended here in England!

Also it's free as its contraception!"


"Sleep well at night."


"I love Mirena. I had it put in about a month or so ago and I have not had any problems with it. There has been some mild spotting maybe 2 times a week and only in the morning and it only lasts for about an hour. I have an increased libido, and it is nice to not have to remember to take a pill every single night. I work at an OBGYN clinic as a medical assistant and I would say that it is one of our top birth controls prescribed. We put a Mirena in our patients at least 2 times a week. I love it. It is amazing."


"I've had a cough for almost a year. Been to many Drs to no avail. Recently one prescribed this medication. It is amazing!  Considering I cough almost all day and night it was a godsend. I have only been using it at night and it has pretty much wiped my cough out so I can sleep. I took it during the day today (did not make me drowsy) for the first time because I was having a coughing fit. About 20 min later I had relief.  It's so wonderful to finally have something that works."


"I can only speak FOR Nexium. It has literally changed my life for the better. I was fighting with GERD now for the past three years of my life. Terrible years, constant heartburn, increasing chest pains, I would wake up in the middle of the night and have my lungs full of acid. Then I could not lay back down because the acid taste would just make me even sicker. I was taking all kinds of acid blockers and nothing really worked. Then I finally tried Nexium and from day one it has changed EVERYTHING for the better. My heartburn is gone, completely. No more reflux, heartburn, chest pains, nothing. It is amazing. I had only slight side effects on day 2 but they went away and now I am just perfectly well. Amazing. Thank you!!"


"This medicine made me have terrible uterine bleeding for 75 days in a row accompanied by terrible uterine pain. It's been a full week since I stopped the medicines and the bleeding and pain have both stopped. My cysts have shrunk to half their size, but I'm not sure if the cysts were ever a problem to begin with."


"So far so good.. I have lost 28 lbs since I started Saxenda 7 weeks ago. I have had a few of the side effect like nausea and decreased appetite .. But it has been well worth it. I recommend this completely!"


"It works."


"Don't try to quit the 40 mg cold turkey. You will feel no control of your mind or your body. Your arms and legs will twitch and jerk. You will feel scared and nervous because you are losing control of your mind and physical body. I know you are mad at what the medication has done to you but you MUST get up and go take the 40mg and break in half. I just did. You will itch all over, begin to cry, feel exhaustion, embarrassment, your tongue will be raw up the center. My aunt is a doc. She couldn't believe I tried to do cold turkey. After 30 min I'm already better. It's sad but don't go cold turkey and put your body through that. If you go cold turkey, you could give yourself long term effects."


"2 years of living with physical symptoms such as nausea, headaches, dry mouth.. Not knowing what it was.. I was at the doctors almost every week getting every test imaginable!

Changed doctors about 12 times... Finally one suggests that I might have Anxiety. 7 weeks of seeing a psychologist, didn't help!

On my first week of 5mg, and then up to 10mg next week... So far so good! Not really any symptoms, so I'm liking it!"


"I've been on this pill for a little over a year. I have had no issues with it. My sex drive has increased. I have some cravings a week before my period but that isn't bad. My acne has decreased."


"It didn't work for me. At all. I had severe nausea for weeks, could barely attend meetings at work."


"I developed genital warts while pregnant and was given this cream. When I first applied the cream it didn't itch, it only itched when I woke up at 4am to pee (pregnancy bladder) so I went ahead and washed it off after 5 hours every time I used it. I've only used it twice and my warts, I had a couple big ones and some small ones, are almost totally gone! The itching was bearable, but the key to it being bearable and it not driving you insane is using VASELINE! USE VASELINE WITH THIS PRODUCT! I applied vaseline to the skin around my warts to protect it from this powerful cream, and have no redness or irritation."


"My husband is currently hospitalized for the 3rd time in 15 months. Thanks to Invega, I had the first real conversation with him last night in over a year. He says he finally has a clear head and he feels great! Hopefully, this is our answer. I am keeping my finger crossed."


"So, tonight I decided to go to an E.R for my extremely awful wisdom tooth pain that started about 4-5 days ago. I've not eaten solid foods in 3 days because of it... and the nurse comes in and gives me the shot in my arm. First of all, why give someone a shot that causes pain, when they're already in pain? It felt like the nurse pulled my shoulder out of place when she injected me. I literally could not move my arm for like 20 or so minutes. So yeah, tooth hurt less because I was busy with the awful shoulder pain. Second, did absolutely nothing for my wisdom tooth pain. Now, I'm having pain in my kidney area and soaking in a hot bath trying to figure out why I'd been given this shot, and 800mg of ibuprophen when it clearly says not to mix."


"I have taken l x Aleve 500 every morning for about 2 years and have found it is the only medication that completely relieves my pain. My only concern is the side effects and I don't know how long I can stay on this medication. As of yet I far as I know I have not had any side effect. I am 84 years of age.

"Best thing thy ever happened to me. Been taking it for a year and a half and can't even explain the unexplainable things it has done for me.
It has boosted my confidence tramendousely, it has given me a stronger, more independent mind set, reduced my panic attacks dramatically, reduced my feel for depression, it has given me the ability to be myself. You wouldn't understand how much of an improvement it's made as you didn't see how low of a place I was in, I was suicidal, depressed, angry, tired, panicky all day every day, until I finally found sertraline! Although the only problem is I get a bit drowsy some times but I believe that is involved with the smoking... But over all sertraline saved my life!! X"


"I'm 22 years old and I was only 19 when I got diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. At first, I didn't know what was happening to me. I suddenly couldn't do my daily exercise because my knees, feet, arms, fingers, back and neck started to hurt so bad that it was difficult for me to get out of bed, not to mention getting down the stairs. Every rheumatologist appointment was turning into a torture session with the cortisone injections and liquid being removed from my knees. Methotrexate did not do me good, so my doctor finally decided to start filling papers for my Humira injection. 1st injection was last week and WOW! is all I got to say. I've never been so happy in my life. My mornings are painless and now I work 10 hours a day without any Tylenol or prednisone."


"Does what it says. Puts you right to sleep. "


"This drug works mildly, not as well as stimulant medications like adderall.   Unfortonately while it mildly boosted concentration and motivation it severely increased my anxiety, ,heart rate, and tremors.   Stimulant medications actually decreased my natural tremors.   My pupils were always dialated as well.  To me this drug is a stimulant like super caffeine not a medicational stimulant."


"Been on this pill for 6 months now. Never had any problems like everyone else. I always had trouble with my periods; lasted 8 days, super heavy, sick when I started and bad cramps. Plus my period lasts only 4 days. The only side effects I have is light cramps and not as hungry anymore. I weighed 160lbs and now weigh 147lbs. I love this pill and will continue taking it."


"11-21-2016 I started adipex 37.5mg Half pill everyday.- looking forward to successful results . And drinking lots of water I refuse to be discouraged"


"I tried the 3 day combo pack and just felt mild sensation no itching or burning. Relief from YI felt within hours after starting the product. Cream also helped with itching."


"I am a 53 year old female.  Fell into a deep depression 1 year ago.  Couldn't sleep, eat, had severe anxiety and almost couldn't function at all.  Feelings of hopelessness, even suicidal at times.  I was frightened.  Psychiatrist tried several medicines.  I am VERY sensitive to medication.  Celebrex, Celexa made me sick.  Tried 5mg of Lexapro.  Felt jittery and a little nauseous but stuck with it.  After 2 weeks, went up to 10 mg.  After 4-5 weeks started to feel normal again.  Side effects got better.  Sex drive is fine and no weight gain.  It's been a year and we are thinking about weaning me off in a couple of months.  I am so happy I stuck with Lexapro.  It saved my life. Don't give up."


"I just finished my active pills two days ago and still haven't gotten my period. My acne has cleared up a little bit but not entirely. The only downside so far has been a little bit of stomach cramping."


"Hey. Started taking Brintellix six weeks ago. I have been on Lexapro for ages and wanted to try something else as I thought Lexapro was flattening it on its effectiveness. Brintellix has me so anxious it's incredible and I seem to want to cry all the time.

Cognitively, heaps of improvement, helped with energy as well. But has done nothing for GAD, which is the root cause of my issues. This has been disastrous and cost me my job because of anxiety build up and subsequently the depression that's followed.

Good luck to you all on this medication... Each to their own I guess. It's just plain horrible for me!"


"I had the same experience as bestyloo who posted on July 28, 2015. However my condition started in May 2015, 1 month after taking the product. The condition is called Acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) and is very rare and painful. It takes approximately 1 month to heal. My body was literally burning itself from the inside out. We know for a fact that this condition was a result of the Contrave because I was not taking any other medications or OTC drugs. For almost 1 month anything that touched my skin was the most excruciating pain imaginable! I saw 4 doctors who all told me I looked like a picture out of a medical book. I sent documentation of this to the company who has yet to respond. Stay AWAY from this drug!!!"


"I started taking Drixoral in 1963 when it was in prescription form and then went to over the counter and now is behind the pharmacist counter. I have only taken 1 tablet a day to control my symptoms for all these years with no problems - congestion, itchy eyes, sneezing, drainage, etc.  Now it has been removed from the shelves and I have heard they will not be making it any longer and also that they are moving and will make it again in the future. Nothing I have tried works as well."


"Seriously - as others have said, DO NOT WORRY about this exam.  I get nauseated really easily and worried about the effect of this stuff.  The worst part is the volume of fluid you have to drink and then psyching yourself up to doing it a second time.  No pain, only some full feeling nausea for about 20 minutes after drinking but it passed quickly.  Worked in about an hour and kept working for a few hours - stay on the toilet and minimize wiping.  Use babywipes as much as you need.  Rinse, repeat. The test is a joke, this is by far the worst part, and I've had indigestion that was far worse than this."


"WOW do not subject yourself to this. Used the one day treatment, put it in at around 9 o'clock and woke up at 1 AM screaming in tears. Vag is burning, stinging, and so itchy. Got in the shower and tried rinsing off any part of the medication and it provided little relief, there's not much you can do besides wait it out. Deffinetly can't sleep with this amount of pain, fingers crossed that if you're reading this it's BEFORE you consider buying this product. The egg you put inside you feels like it's filled with FIRE. Literal FIRE. However at maximum strength relief, there comes major side effects. Over all my YI is gone."


"I've been taking it for 3 years, I rarely miss days and I take ALL pills (some people don't take the brown pills). I haven't had my period since 6 months after taking the pill. It's amazing. My first month I had EXTREMELY bad migraines but not any more. I love that they are chewable so I take it in the morning after brushing my teeth."


"This medicine works. When I wasn't exercising or eating healthy. Not much happened only about 3 pounds a week. when I added walking 30 minutes 3 times a week with a healthy diet the pounds started flying off. You "CAN NOT" keep eating Pizza or other high fatty fast foods inspecting this medicine to work. Because the weight will come off very slowly. In only 3 weeks I have lost 25 pounds! My diet has been fish, chicken, lean beef, broccoli, spinach, fruit and nuts I have one more month with this medicine that I probably won't finish because it will push me past my goal of 170.  I started March 4th 2016 "225lbs, today I'm 200lbs  I will be 192lbs by Friday. And by April 11th 2016 I will have hit my goal or gone just past it."


"I used for years no longer helping I'm
55 now and never had so bad. See Dr next week.... RLS is worse then back pain
I have 2 Rod's in my back"


"I actually have the implant on at the moment, but I am more than ready to remove it. I've had it for 4 months a friend recommended it to me it sounded great. Worst choice. I've had horrible mood swings. I'm just not my normal self. I get sad for no reason I feel sad and so unhappy. Well my sex drive is gone! so yes it prevents pregnancy. It's caused me so much emotional damage not only to me but in my relationship. Made an appointment to remove it. I can honestly say I hate it. I don't know what I will try next but I'm ready to be done with this method."


"I got skyla inserted a little over a week ago. I'm 22 and haven't had any kids. The insertion was rough. My legs and hands went totally numb which was weird, but apparently not uncommon. However, It was all over within about 3 minutes. The pain was completely gone before the feeling in my legs and hands had even come back, and I drove home with no issues. I actually didn't even feel any cramping until today (9 days after insertion). Did anyone else have a delay in the onset of cramping or is that just me? Anyways, I've had a little spotting, but it all happened exactly the way that my doctor said it would. I'm fine, and this seems worth it. I have a low pain tolerance, and the worst imaginable anxiety. If I can do it, then you can too"


"I used this medicine for about two months. I started out with very mild acne - a few pimples here and there, and I wanted something to help clear them up. I started using this gel and began breaking out worse than I ever have in my life - not just small pimples - large painful pimples that did not go away until I stopped using the medicine. "


"I had a terrible reaction to this medication. It brought back symptoms that I haven't had for years, and hallucinations. I felt crawling on my skin and heard voices for the first time in two years. "


"OA/DDD spine: Switched from oxycontin, to fentanyl patches, >15 yrs, Watson gel patch: terrible irritation/rash & v. poor adhesion. Switched to Mylan brand, 25 mcg, then 50 mcg, roxicet for bt pain.  As many of you, I felt a lot of pain relief and was able to be physically active... gardening, bike riding, walking 4 mi..  I switched to Mallincrodt oxcodone 5 mg, (there is a difference in brands!).

Inc in pain, yr ago tried 75 mcg, but didn't like: dizziness, headaches, incontinence.

Quit fentanyl (5 weeks) tried gabapentin: vertigo, fell down stairs, etc!!

Back to Mylan 37.5 mcg (1/1/17 inc $12 to 75) & oxcodone 5mg.   Not enough, will see pain management Dr., this wk. (seen him for years)

INSIST ON PAIN MANAGEMENT SP"


"After over a year of trying naturally (while missing periods) and a year of trying with my periods like clockwork (with the help of Metformin) my fiance and I got pregnant on my first round of Clomid. I have Polycystic ovarian syndrome and it was determined that I was having anovulatory cycles.

50mg for 5 days. Paired with Estradiol and Progesterone suppositories. The only side effects I noticed were hot flashes, but Estradiol is known to cause those so I am not sure that it was the Clomid. Any side effects would have been tolerable to conceive our child. This drug is seriously a miracle worker."


"I started taking this a few weeks ago and my acne is almost 100% gone. My skin feels very soft and smooth as well. It is definitely worth a try. I was on Monocycline before for about a year and my acne began to relapse. Once I started on Bactrim my skin was clear again but I am scared of relapsing since it is still an antibiotic. Drink lots of water as well because you constantly feel dehydrated."


"I've been taking the pill for about 26 days. It's my first time taking birth control.  My doctor put me on it to help regulate my estrogen bursts before my period. So far I've gained 3 pounds every 2 weeks, my face has exploded with acne, my hair seems to be falling out, I get mood swings, I get teary eyed over EVERYTHING, and I get horrible period like cramps. The only good part is, my period is much, much lighter. It lasts a little longer, but I don't mind."


"I took this pill next day after having unprotected sex with my bf. I don't want to be pregnant because I'm still in studyingl. I didn't experience anything other than the lower back pain and heavier than normal periods for the next 3 months of each period. I also didn't get the breakthrough bleeding that some of you girls experienced.
4 years ago I used Plan B as well I remember it was in 2 pills form, and it also worked fine and I think that two pills formulation is better, because I didn't get any lower back pain and the heavy flow periods as a side effect. So I wonder if they bring back the two pills formula than only one pill, may decrease the back pain and heavy flow, or  I'm just getting old. haha .
Good luck to all of you!"


"My clinic kept switching my pills about a year ago claiming they were the same but just the generic kind. I was on sronyx last year for about 6 months. It was fine at first but then I began to get moody. Constantly angry all the time and was a complete witch to my boyfriend. I'm glad he stuck by me after what I had put him through. I gave this two stars because I did not get pregnant while on this but the way it made me feel, I will never forget. I wasn't myself and I'm glad I switched to something better!"


"I have been taking Wellbutrin for 10 months.  I had 6 migraines in the first 10 days, but then the headaches stopped. I also had dry mouth for about a week when I started taking the 300 milligram tablet. After that, no side effects at all. Unfortunately, I have had no positive effects either. I feel as though I am taking a sugar pill. I am still dysthimic all the time and have had several depressive episodes lasting weeks since beginning this medication. I agreed to take it for a year, buy I don't see any improvement at all."


"Easy to use on scalp conditions compared to oils. Can burn a little, but two thorough applications will clear up the problem for 7 to 10 days. Apply once a week before a break out and it keeps the problem under control. I have been using it for 3 months and no side effects yet. I have a full head of hair, my scalp can get really bad and this works. I am a 62 yr. old white male."


"I got a new psychiatrist and he put me on this medication after I lost a family member. I was sad but not depressed. Anyways, I had severe twitching in my feet and hands. Also, I felt too shy to talk to people. I also gained 15 pounds. I had vivid nightmares, and have been off it for a week but the nightmares continue."


"Oh my God, my neck, ear and jaw pain was the worst of all pain.  After nearly 24 hours, I saw improvements.  I found that its best to take the med w/ food..."


"I suffered with severe migraines several times a year.  In my 30s, the migraines became more frequent, longer lasting, more severe. Accidentally discovered Xanax, lifted the migraine immediately. Xanax not being a long-term solution for many reasons, my neurologist prescribed gabapentin.  I haven't had a migraine in over six years.  I take 1200 mg a day, usually before bed, but have discovered that taking 300mg in the afternoon when anxiety kicks in and the rest at night has made a huge difference in anxiety.  Anxiety runs in my family, migraines, too, and this medication works very well for me."


"I had my first round 6 months ago sitting here starting my 2nd round as we speak. No side effects and even though my joints are still swollen I feel so much better. My dr is hopeful that this round will help with the inflammation. I'll get my 2nd dose with this round in 2 weeks!! I'm hopeful and thankful"


"I've had my implant for around 2 years now and to be honest when I first had it put in it was brilliant. I had no periods whatsoever for over a year, no side effects at all and no spotting.

The last year though has been absolute hell. I've put on over two stone, had long spells of bleeding, acne, mood swings, no sex drive whatsoever, unsightly stretch marks as I seemed to gain weight so fast and strange hormonal eczema break outs (which I've never suffered with before). The negatives are clearly outweighing the positives now and I've had enough.

I'm literally counting down the days until I have it removed next week. Never again."


"I started this birth control about a week ago and 2 days. Today I will NOT ever be taking this pill again and calling my doctor come Monday morning. I took this pill after doing some research and seeing if maybe the cause of my severe depression and anxiety was hormonally related. My gynecologist didn't ask me any questions about my past hospitalizations due to suicidal thoughts/attempts. I read front and back this medication and only saw suicidal thoughts as side effects to the higher dose. Let me tell you this pill made everything 100% heightened. My anxiety has never been so bad. I took lexapro and trazedon together for 6 months and stopped because I couldn't function as a regular person. Talk with your psychiatrist & gyno before taking"


"My daughter was 6 when she started it and her school work has improved dramatically. The only side effect is that she is not hungry, and we have to force her to eat. At 5:30pm when it wears off, she is hungry and distracted."


"Hey. Started taking Brintellix six weeks ago. I have been on Lexapro for ages and wanted to try something else as I thought Lexapro was flattening it on its effectiveness. Brintellix has me so anxious it's incredible and I seem to want to cry all the time.

Cognitively, heaps of improvement, helped with energy as well. But has done nothing for GAD, which is the root cause of my issues. This has been disastrous and cost me my job because of anxiety build up and subsequently the depression that's followed.

Good luck to you all on this medication... Each to their own I guess. It's just plain horrible for me!"


"I started glucophage xr on February 20. I can not believe how much better I feel. Before glucophage I spent every waking minute thinking about what I would eat next. For the last 5 years I stayed under 1000 calories a day, and my readings were 175 or 83, I was up and down like a yo-yo all day and night. I gained weight constantly, I weighed in at 196lbs on Feb 20. Now 2 months later on glucophage I have lost 29 lbs, and I eat like a normal person. I can't believe the difference. The first week on it I had some nausea but it went away and I now have no side effects. I keep thinking this is a fluke, a pill can't make that much of a difference. I feel better than I have in 20 years, I now have energy because I am eating enough and my readings are amazing."


"I have no idea whether my symptoms are from the giardiasis or flagyl. I have constant headache, abdominal pain, nausea, can't eat, major weight loss, and severe fatigue. I cannot work and am barely functioning. Whatever is causing this, I hope it goes away when I am done with this drug. I have never been so sick in my life."


"I had been on Effoxor XR forever, and it wasn't working like it used to. It just kept me barely sane. I added Latuda 20mg at night, and very quickly I was feeling normal for the first time in years. No more crying depression, no more overly happiness. But a stable feeling. A happy medium. It didn't make me numb or zombie like. I feel productive for the most part. I sleep better and wake more positive. It has triggered my already sweet tooth, and I've gained weight, but I'm just so relieved with my mood, I can handle it...I like it overall."


"I have been taking Amitriptyline for nearly a year since I had a particularly bad migraine that left me hospitalized and it lasted nearly 2 weeks.  Before that migraine, I would have less severe ones every month, however after that I would have moderate migraines daily for a couple of months.  After trying a couple of medications we tried Amitriptyline.  At first it did nothing at 25mg, so we put it up to 50mg and it made the migraines weaker but it still had them almost daily.  I then went off of it and moved to Topamax, but decided to give Amitriptyline more of a chance and we then pushed it up to 75mg.  It's been about 7 months since I started taking the 75mg and it has been so much better."


"Klonopin is the best benzodiazepine in my opinion for any sort of anxiety disorders. It helps me the most I have SAD GAD and PTSD. This medicine lets me feel calm, at ease, and I can speak my mind. .5mg is all one needs and it lasts about 8 hours for me, and the long half life keeps my anxiety levels lower than usual If I don't take it the next day."


"Have had a serious sinus infection for 5 years now. It's been getting better, but it flares up every few months. 10 days ago, on the last flare up, the doctor prescribed 10 days of Levaquin. On the first day I experienced strange dreams/nightmares, but I stuck with it. My sinuses haven't been this clear since before the initial infection, even though other antibiotics were tried and failed. The real test will be weeks or months after I'm done with this dose.

For now, Levaquin is the best thing I've taken for these sinus problems. Within 48 hours, my sinuses felt clear again, and now I'm starting to feel normal - for the first time in 5 years."


"I'm 39, and have been a smoker for 20 years.  I'll be 40 in March, and that was always a hard stop for me.  I mean, if I didn't quit by 40, when would I ever?  Quitting was tough for me.  I would be very cranky, lethargic, pi**ssed off, and would nic fit.  I always wanted to stop, but in my heart of hearts, never 100%.  This time I wanted to quit 100% and be done forever, and man did Chantix come through.  I smoked for 12 days while taking Chantix, and it's not that it made me stop.  I noticed the gross cig smell more on my hands and shirts, but that was about it.  The HUGE difference for me was that when I did stop, my mood was basically the same.  What a miracle.  No nic fitting, no more tired, just me feeling great and empowered."


"I've been using seroquel 25mg 4 times per day as needed since September of 2001 and it is still very effective with both my anxiety and depression.  I did gain about 10 pounds using it, but I am still  well within my BMI range and am physically active and can control my appetite.  This med is possibly the best one that has ever been prescribed to help both my anxiety and long history of depression.  My one important concern is that my white blood count is slightly lower than it should be and has been lower for 6 years now.  I'm hoping my white blood count does not drop lower and stays where it is."


"I just started my 3rd month on Contave. I am currently down 26lbs. I did not notice a change in appetite until week 4-6. I did figure out if I take before dinner (not after) I eat less. I can not even eat 1/2 of what I used to eat. My only problem is terrible cotton mouth, jolly ranchers have become my best friend."


"I have been on fluoxetine now for 7 months. The first couple of weeks I was sick feeling but within 2 months my husband and I could tell a big difference with my anxiety. The down fall is the weight gain and after about 3 months I have to take a midday nap. I have gain 18 pounds in the past 7 months that is the outcome of 3-4 am nightly hunger and cravings. I am now trying to fight the naps to sleep all night without waking up. It is difficult some days but it is better then having anxiety attacks."


"I've had acne since like the 7th grade and I didn't really bother to do anything about it because it wasn't bad but at the end of 8th grade it got worse so I went to a dermatologist and she prescribed Epiduo to me and I used it and had clear skin for almost the whole summer, but in August when school started my face started getting horribly dry and peeling and it hurt. So I went back to the derm. and she prescribed Differin (0.3%) gel and I've been using it now for 4 months and it works great! I have to say it does get worse before it gets better. "


"This medicine worked. Took my akathesia away the moment I took it."


"This medication has been very very effective. I was almost debilitated with gout attacks and continued use of indomethecin. It only has one bad side effect for me and that is excessive sweating. Sometimes I will have hot coffee for breakfast and have to change my shirt afterwards. At times in public it is embarrassing. But it's a lot better than having a gout attack."


"I been using this for about a year. I am 15 and it works really well. My doctor prescribed this to me last year and After about a week I wasn't seeing any results, and like any other 14 year old kid would do, I used it like every other day because I was lazy and frustrated. Then after a while I committed to it and then my skin finally cleared! Best feeling ever! But I ran out of refills and I'm starting to breakout again."


"Just started Victoza for weight loss and to lower my a1c and for weight loss. Just upped my dose today to 1.6. So far, so good.  First day: diarrhea and a slight headache with a little nausea. I haven't noticed any difference yet in this higher dose as compared to the smallest dose. Still have diarrhea and a little nausea. Surprisingly, I have much more energy than usual. Love that and the fact that on my 5th day I have already lost 6 pounds! I have no complaints as of now. I hope it stays this way and the weight loss continues. Will post as I get further into it."


"I tried Lunesta for about 3 weeks. The first day it worked okay. After that it was useless. Also very expensive."


"Used as part of my brain tumor treatment ...so far it looks okay."


"I had a baby about four months ago. At the 8 week postpartum checkup, I got the Nexplanon implant. Many women (according to my midwife) go for the IUD (Mirena or Paragard) but the thought of a piece of plastic sitting in my cervix/uterus after I've just had a baby seemed like a minor form of torture. So I asked which birth control methods could be taken while breastfeeding and she recommended Nexplanon. I've had no period, no mood swings, and it did not affect my milk supply. I don't even remember it's there 95% of the time. I would recommend this method of BC esp if breastfeeding. Also it's covered by Medicaid."


"I had my left ovary removed in September of 2015 because of a 10cm cyst that was twisting my ovary, cutting off blood supply. After my surgery they put me on birth control immediately to prevent another cyst from growing on my other ovary. Previfem has been working well for me, the only symptoms I have had have been fatigue, a little bit of weight gain (about 5 pounds) and some mood swings. Other than that I have not had any problems. My period is shorter, lighter and I no longer get cramps like I used to. Overall my experience with this birth control has been great."


"Oh, if there was an 11, I would give Vyvanse this rating, if it was not for one side effect. But I am not 100% sure it is the Vyvanse.  I have been having pretty bad chest pains since I started on Vyvanse a couple of months ago. I even went to the ER for an asthma attack.  The trouble is, for the last few years (pre-ADHD diagnosis and any meds) I have been slowly growing into adult onset asthma. So it's tough even for the doctors to tell if it's from the asthma or the Vyvanse! The ER doc said no, Vyvanse shouldn't cause chest pains, so did my psychiatrist (who I trust and really respect). Long story short--I LOVE VYVANSE!! Has given me my life whole new meaning. I am the best version of myself.  My whole entire extended family notices!"


"Oh boy. This was prescribed for my second colonoscopy (did mag citrate the first time). The first dose was at 5 pm and I managed to get all of it down by chugging apple juice/broth between gulps. Used a straw the second time around (3 am). It's definitely cleaned me out but the taste and side effects are getting to me. I wasn't able to totally finish the second dose (got through 3/4 of it) as I became terribly nauseous and knew if I kept going I'd lose what I had managed to get down. The taste is beyond description (salty cherry does no justice to the monstrosity, in my opinion). Dr said not to use flavor packets with it so I diluted with cold water and chilled the bottle for dose #2 as advised on here. Will not be using Suprep again."


"Great!"


"I have 4 herniated discs and 4 bulging discs with bone spurs.  I am only 46, I clean for a living and need to work.  I will eventually need surgery, but Endocet keeps me moving for now free from stomach upset.  However, this drug is very addicting and keeps me moving as if I am functioning like a "normal" person.  However, my loving doctor is managing this whole process and will help me wean off of this amazing drug that I have the utmost respect for.  I don't take anything else and need to stay on this drug until I get through my surgeries and post.  I am hopeful that I will eventually no longer need this drug, but it is the only option I have right now to get me through my days.  I am afraid, but hopeful the surgeries will help."


"I have been addicted o opiates for 8 years, so bad that towards the end I was doctor shopping. The fear of getting caught led me to research methadone treatment. I've been going to the clinic for almost 2 years and I'm so proud to say I've been clean this long. I haven't had cravings for opiates, nor have I thought about relapsing. I am finally able to take care of my son, take care of my responsibilities, and live my life. I can honestly say, it saved my life. My family was against it at first, until they saw the major change in me. Now, they are more supportive and they agree with my decision. Without methadone, I KNOW I'd be dead from an overdose or in jail."


"I have taken oxybutin since Dec. 2016. Since then I have had little blisters on the side of my tongue and they hurt constantly.  My insurance will not cover any other bladder medication so they continue to give me this mediation. I KNOW that there are more medications out there but cannot get any thing else. My insurance is CareSource and they won't  approve anything else.  My concern is I am suppose   I will lose my teeth???? what do you think?"


"I was put on this a long time ago. It says it has an interaction with the absorption of Cymbalta but I really haven't had that problem that I know of. I have been told to take one in the morning and one in the evening because my GERD is horrible. My son had to start taking them before bed each night for the same reason. I think his could be worse. He was told to start taking them when he was 11 he is now 18.
I give Zantac 150 a grade of 120%. It works."


"Began at 20mg and worked my way up to 60mg over the course of a few months. Was most effective at the higher dose. Originally I thought it was not working, but eventually it helped."


"My 9 year old daughter takes this 500mg 2 times a day and it does lower the seizures by a few but not enough for the major mood swings she has been having. She is happy 1 minute and like the flip of a switch she is so angry and hard to reason with. Six medicines and not one has made a change for the better."


"I started taking this a week ago I think, I never wanted to use meds but I'm in the middle of a major depressive episode that began around mid-late October. I'm a single mom of a 4 year old. I feel like she takes more care of me then I can her sometimes and that makes me feel awful. I decided to ask my for my doctor to do something because I figured nothing could feel worse. Day 1 I had a lot of energy, days 2-4 I was very anxious and irrate over nothing. That has now passed but I still don't feel better, not really. I don't feel overwhelmed with the feeling of wanting to die, so I guess that's good but I still feel it. I'm not suicidal though, I have been in years. I just don't want to move out of my bed clean the house or do anything really."


"My Dr. prescribed me Wellbutrin XL 2 months ago for depression and ADHD. It has truly helped with both. I began planning and cooking meals, exercising, and I have more motivation and I focus much better. However, I had to quit drinking coffee because the drug makes me feel anxious. I describe it as irrational/unreasonable. For example, one day I was in Wal-Mart with my toddlers and I felt like I was going to have a panic attack. I think I'm going to give this drug another month and if the anxiety persists, I may ask to try something else."


"I was so unbelievably petrified when I had sex and the condom broke. I ran to cvs the second it opened which was around 8 hours after I had sex. They were out of plan b and aftera was the only option. I figured better than nothing. I googled the entire day, it said I was in my highest fertility window and I had absolutely no side effects. That made me even more nervous. I woke up today knowing I should get my period in absolute panic but it worked. I wrote this because I didn't find many happy reviews and I really could have used one while I was excessively googling. I hope this helps one person. I am one happy customer!"


"I am no sales person, no employee of the drug maker but a simple person that is required to give presentations to oil and gas companies. I took three pills, waited 1 hour and felt at ease prior to the presentation.

I can confirm that the drug removed the tightness of the chest, twitches to the checks, shocking hands and voice.

This is the real McCoy, it works and I will never facilitate any further public speaking without taking this mini miracle drug."


"I was addicted to pain killers for so many years I can't remember. Day after day I always was looking for my next fix. Late for work or couldn't make it in, upon other things. Life was a struggle with not knowing where to turn. Finally I decided to look for a doctor who gave me the Suboxone. I am at work everyday and on time. The people around me notice a change and I feel great. I will be married in one week and have never been happier. So if you are reading this and wondering if this could work for you, I say yes. If it worked for me a hopeless junkie then I know it can work you."


"Only used 3/4 of it and had relief in 5 minutes. "


"This is the 7th day that I'm taking this birth control. I still don't know how will it affect on my period but so far it made me break out on my chin and around my mouth. It gives me bad headaches and makes me depressed. There is no way I will continue taking this birth control."


"Lexapro has been the only antidepressant I've taken that has alleviated my depression at all. It worked well for me and it started working within 2 days! I could laugh again and my anxiety went down. I took 20 mg daily. Unfortunately, within 6 months I gained 25 lbs! That was the only drawback and I had to stop taking it bc of the weight gain. The first couple times I took it, everything looked fuzzy and psychedelic but that went away quickly. I'd say it's definitely worth a try if you're depressed or anxious."


"it gave all the side effects of the other 2 ED drugs, tightness in throat area, tighter feeling in chest, exactly like viagra and cialis, without the erection. I am terribly disappointed as was my partner."


"I started out on 10mg, worked a couple of nights, slept great, then it didn't work anymore, just be awake wishing I could sleep.
Dr raised dose to 20mg. Worked great for about 10 nights, now I'm here awake wishing I could fall asleep.
No bad dreams or paralysis, just can't fall asleep.
Going back to try something else.
Dang it! Was hoping this would work."


"I have taken Spiriva, more so in hot humid weather than in cooler weather, for 2 years and after 1 year did notice substantial difference in halos around lights especially driving at night, so much so, that I stopped driving at night.  Last eye exam in March of this year indicates I have cataracts.  I looked at full Spiriva Pharmaceutical description and in lab tests, this drug did cause cataracts in dogs.  So, now I am up for cataract surgery.  What does the FDA Protect?"


"Cialis gave me a strong erection and ejaculation, my wife also said satisfied, but then I suffer from muscular pain around my buttock (near hip joints) for few days now. I have a mild erectile dysfunction."


"I used the Monistat 3 day treatment and about 15 minutes after inserting the medicine my vagina felt like it was on fire! The treatment was 10x worse than the symptoms I was experiencing before. I have never felt pain like that on my life and wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I will NEVER use this product again"


"Started this week and can see small improvements, hopefully it keeps going this way and I'll feel good about myself again"


"I dreaded so did not have a colonoscopy until I had to. The doctor saw my trepidation so gave me Supra to take, since you would be able to drink less. He told me the prep would be, as I have heard, terrible but the procedure was easy.  I did not read anything on line about Supra, as I didn't want to "scare" myself. But maybe I should have. The first bottle tasted awful but I got it down, and drank the required water within the hour. The second bottle was vile, had a huge problem getting it down. Now I wish I had seen the hints with mixing it with Crystal Light, or having a lemon handy. Funny, others said the second bottle was worse also. Never would have been able to drink the double dose. Procedure easier than prep as dr. said."


"I have had cold sores since I was a little kid and I'm always super mad and shocked a lot of the time that I wake up and find one. You would think after getting them forever that you would KNOW when you are getting one. Have used Zovirax, then Abreva became available and if you could time it right it worked AWESOME. I'm a smoker so I frequently spread the cold sores around my mouth, just as one is healing another will show up. Two months of continuous cold sores hurts and is embarrassing. My friend told me about Valtrex a year ago after having cold sore after cold sore. After the first dose the sore shriveled up, second dose they were scabbed and healing. Huge help with the pain factor too. Amazing, if you haven't already, TRY IT!"


"Hello everyone! I am now 35 years old, and it has almost been seven years since I started taking Amlodipine Besylate. I am still on the same dose of  5mgs daily since 2011. My BP is 125/72, but I have put on 60 lbs in the last two years. I do suffer from Graves Disease of the Thyroid. This is  not related to the medication. The point is, when I got down to 114 lbs, I actually stopped taking Amlodipine; my bp was normal. The weight loss was due to Graves Disease ( Hyperthyroidism). Then I had radiation treatment, gained weight now my bp is elevated again. I now started taking Amlodipine Besylate again, same dose since 2011. The only side effect I noticed is it makes me somewhat hypervigilant, but nothing to be concerned about."


"Alcohol withdrawal can COST YOUR LIFE!!!!! I have been in 4 detoxes in 8 months. I drink a gallon of sometimes more of vodka a day. One detox was in January for 7 days, one at the end of April for 3 days, one in June for 5 days and one in July for 5 days. Librium works wonders. The reason the days spent in detox depend on the AMA policy. DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. I have had seizures, convulsions, hallucinations, dt's its no joke Go to your doctor, tell her/ him what's going on. I drank EXTREMELY heavy and I was prescribed 75 MG every four hours day 1, then 50MG every 4 hours day 2, then 25 MG every 4 hours day 3, then 25 MG every 8 hours day 4, then 25 MG before bed day 5. The only way to tackle alcohol withdrawal is with librium"


"I have been taking Metoprolol 25mg once a day for 13 days. It has lowered my heart rate by about 30 beats a minute but I am always tired, get chest pain, headache and numbness. Little to no benefit in lowering my blood pressure (140/95's)."


"I just got back on April  and it's day four and I have already gained about 5 lbs. My acne is about three times worse then normal - granted I don't have perfect skin, but it's really bad at this point. I have kept the same routine as in the past same diet and exercise. I don't recommend Apri to anyone that has ance."


"Little tightness in the chest, constipation, gas and "fuzzy" feeling at times. Stopped smoking 10 days after beginning medication. So far so good :)"


"It doesn't take the pain completely away, but it makes life tolerable. I can at least walk my dog and work while on it. It also does a pretty decent job controlling my depression that has come from having chronic pain. Only side effect so far is slight constipation, but I'll take that everyday as opposed to the ridiculous pain I was in.

Thank you Tramadol."


"I've been taking Theo 24 300mg for about 24 years now for my asthma. I haven't had any problems with side effects and rarely use my rescue inhaler. It has really helped my asthma and I would recommend it to others to try."


"I've been experimenting with this drug for over a year. I have pages of stuff to say but that is not what this is for.

I know that I won't be able to use this forever but I have no choice but to do what works for now. With a lifetime of struggle, this negative reinforcement is the only thing that has ever worked.

I want to warn anyone that takes this medication. I have tried every combination of dose vs time laps and alcohol quantity, including smoking alcohol. That 2 week gap between your last dose and your first drink, do yourself a favor and stick to it. What happens if you don't is unpredictable. I have experienced nothing to severe reactions not even found on the net."


"Was prescribed this antibiotic for a bladder infection at emergency care  Dr. said there were few side effects when I asked -was hesitant to take it because im very sensitive to  Antibiotics but was assured this was the best medicine for me with the least side effects
Wrong! By day 2 I was totally lethargic feeling very irritable and running a low-grade fever on and off.  Thought temp was from bladder infection. Finished 6 day course went to my doctor for a urine recheck & since my culture appeared clean was told I could stop day earlier.
 Two days off the medicine and I'm still feeling like crap extremely tired and lethargic with a low-grade fever or of 100.5 feel like I have a minor case of the flu but since reading other articles  I believe it's from the antibiotic never again will I take this"


"I've been on Byetta over 1 year and am very pleased.  I was one of the unusual ones, I couldn't tolerate Byetta 10, even without taking any other medicines. So I went back to Byetta 5 and have very good control.  Can't wait for the once-a-week, then maybe I can tolerate the Byetta 10."


"1st night using the cream. Inserted medication deep as comfortably  (as per instructions.) The almost immediate sensation is worse then the actual YI irritation. If that is the way the product is supposed to feel, it is down played in the literature."


"Excellent medicine for me. I would not have been able to have been a teacher and business owner without its help. In 52 years I have had approximately 7 seizures because of this medicine. It will be off the market in a month and I hope the company who makes it reconsiders its decision, the other options for me are not that great."


"I am highly allergic to Vitamin E. I had a full body rash and had many problems due to using Vitamin E. It took 2 weeks to get over the rash. The doctor said do not use it ever again."


"I had this inserted a week ago. I understand this is different for everyone but my cramps were pretty severe. By the next day I was fine. However, for birth control to last 5 years, I would do it again."


"Relpax is the ONLY migraine med that works for me. It relieves my migraines in about a half hour. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it.

Side effects: tiredness, mild nausea, frequent urination, runny nose, head fogginess."


"My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex on 2/5 around 8:00pm. The condom broke and I was not sure whether or not I fully pulled out, so we paniced, went out to CVS, and bought plan b 30 minutes later. Her last period was on 1/15 but she does not track her period and usually they are irregular so being a really sensitive boyfriend, I completely lost my mind thinking only about the hypotheticals and negatives for the next few weeks to follow. She started spotted about 5 days after taking the pill and the side effects that followed included breast tenderness and she complained about being very tired very often. I'm not sure whether or not the symptoms lasted for more than a week, but she finally got her period today on March 5th. (51 days after he last period and 30 days after taking plan b). It completely distorts a woman's cycle and while I understand that my panicking was not uncalled for, it definitely affected my ability to think straight. If you take the pill within the instructed time frame and are under the weight limit, you will be great. Now to start a birth control regimen lol. Also, I reached out to a bunch of friends who were in these same situations, and more than half of them had their girlfriends get their periods at least 4-5 weeks after taking the pill, so a delayed period is completely normal. Good luck everyone, hope this review was informative and reliable."


"I really wish I had read these reviews before buying and using this product.  Night one was horrible.  Burning and itching like crazy.  Gave it another shot on night two and had the same experience.  Tonight is supposed to be night three but forget it!  This is going in the trash."


"Im 18, and I've never been on medications before... i have performance- and social anxiety. So when i went to my doctors and asked for something to help me survive my everyday life, he recommended Atarax. But i have been taking them for 2 weeks now with no effect what so ever... granted, they are only 10 mg and small as a breadcrumb, but i was at least expecting some effect from it. The only thing i felt was nausea and dizziness.... must say im quite disappointed "


"I have been on Lexapro for years. Due to no sex drive I was placed on Viibryd. I had the worst adverse reaction.. after four weeks went from doing well on Lexapro TO violent, hearing things, paranoid. I stopped the medicine and went back to Lexapro. "

"I am on my 2nd week and I have the following effects: tender breasts, bad moods, nausea, eating habits changed."


"I am taking Gleevec after surgery, to remove 15ccmm tumor. It has been 7 months and I am tumor free. The main side effects of taking Gleevec has been abdominal bloating with pain, at times severe. I am able to handle the side effects for the most part, but when it becomes too much, I just reduce my dose for a few days until I feel better, normally or for two days a week. I was on Gleevec for 5 months prior to surgery. It didn't reduce the tumor, but it stop its growth and reduced the density considerably."


"My grandson was visiting and started flu symptoms. I believe he was approximately 9 years old. We obtained Tamiflu very early in his symptoms and during the first day he experienced what looked like a psychotic reaction.. It was as though he became hysterical and was hallucinating. I was barely able to control him. The psychotic episode cleared up the next day, but he never took another dose after that first one. This was a very upsetting event, and I would say the risk is not worth the potential benefits. Who knows how bad it would have gotten if he received more pills. DO NOT TRY IT."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I had MRSA inf. last 8 yrs, all around the body. One heals and other one starts, went to my heart twice too. Now this many years of this, I end up to get Sepsis, I have no words to tell, how bad I feel...too bad, I guess. God Bless You All, who went true this bad infection."


"Was terrified to take this drug, or any drug that they were going to put me on for the arthritis. I took methotrexate, prednisone and plaquenil which just about did nothing. Went to another Rheumatologist who suggested I try enbrel. Put all the fear aside if you're afraid to inject it because it does not hurt at all and you don't even see the needle (I hate needles). I've only been on it for 3 weeks but my pain has just about gone away and this is coming from someone who could barely get out of bed last April. Haven't had any side effects so we will see how it plays out from here."


"It lifted my mood but with horrible agitation and impotance"


"This medecine delivers as promised as far as pain relief. I noticed a reduction in pain 3 days into taking it. The only pain it doesnt eliminate is my lower back pain. It even helps with my migraines! Negatives are the side effects when getting used to the med (nausea, fatigue) and the fact that your body gets used to it so you have to keep upping the dosage. Recommend starting out on the lowest dosage possible."


"I take 0.5-1mg for times of unmanageable anxiety or panic attacks. This happens a few times a year. Very effective medication with no side effects for me. I've been taking it since I was 26, I'm now 30."


"I've been taking Femara since the breast cancer was discovered in my lung - that has been 10 years this year. Two types of chemo failed to knock it out and as I was preparing for radiation, I started taking Femara. Within a month the tumor began to shrink and all that is left is scarring where it once was. I am so grateful to my doctor for recommending it to me. My other oncologist didn't even mention it. Needless to say I'm happy to be alive and enjoying life."


"Okay so I have been on Klonopin for about 3 months and might I say it's AWESOME. I have severe anxiety and get panic attacks quite often which are bad and it finally got to point where I couldn't eat or sleep I basically couldn't function. When I first started taking it I was zonked out. They made me so tired but my tolerance has gone up so much and 3 doesn't even do anything to me now so that's the downside. On the up side when the dosage does work your anxiety is completely gone and you just feel so chill yet able to function (at least for me). Hopefully my dosage will be upped and I'll be happy again. I definitely recommend Klonopin as always be careful and have a wonderful day."


"Indocin or indomethacin in my opinion is very effective in relieving gout symptoms.  Taking 25mg at my first opportunity (the point where I convince myself that I did nothing to stub my toe and it is a gout attack) quickly reduces the pain.  I have not experienced the stomach pains or paranoia that the previous post talks about.  I always take this medicine with food and drink as directed by my physician."


"i had this put in around 6 months ago because I'm anemic and was bleeding excessively during my period (4days max). Pretty much blessings constantly for that 6 months. Seems a little stupid to have something in that makes the situation worse. Also, I'm a very active person and it stunted my weight loss completely. I was always bloated and couldn't understand why! Got it removed. Immediately lost 5 lbs of water weight. NEVER AGAIN!!"


"I've been talking the medicine for about a month. My first day I felt like I was high all day at work. This was the only time I felt like that though. I am amazed at how I no longer want to snack all the time. I can now walk by the snack table at work and not pick at it. It is great to not constantly thinking about food. But For About A Week Now I am feeling very anxious all The time but hoping it is temporary."


"Lessened my trips to the bathroom but increased stomach pain.  Palpitations and increased acne also.  Stopped after 2 weeks on it."


"Works miracles for Fibromyalgia. I don't ever want to experience the pain of a nerve attack without Oxycontin ever again. I'm 19, so I can't just stay home and suffer and lounge around. I have a life to live, and if it weren't for Oxycontin I wouldn't be able to perform simple every day tasks. I will say though it is much, much safer to stay with the lowest possible dose, which are the 10mg ones (I don't take generics so there are probably lower doses, I just don't know of them). If you use Oxycontin in moderation and as prescribed it is easy to control dependency. They also work great for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Hope this helps."


"Wonderful medication. Tried numerous meds with no results. After starting this med within two weeks I was almost totally cleared up."


"I gave this medicine a 5 but not sure how fair I'm being! I started out on the patch with limited results and then after a month I began the gel. So far the only good part about this is, the women love the smell! I have gained muscle mass but I've been hitting the gym but there has been no change in my sex drive, it's still very low! My appetite has not increased like I was hoping. It's been a month on the gel now and I don't know if it's too soon to comment on this particular medication but if I see significant improvements I'll be sure to up date."


"I haven't had one problem with this. I've had it for a year and half and I had my first period the other day. It was very light and only lasted a couple of days. My sex drive didn't change and I haven't gained any weight on it. I personally like it."


"So I originally  started on camrese for dealing with my heavy flow/painful periods (like super painful) and when I started I was bleeding for over 2 weeks!! I hated it, it wasn't a lot of blood more like light but it was frustrating as I was not comfortable with having to wear pads all the time so I went other my doctor and she prescribed Junel  fe. It was  terrible I had irritability, nausea, etc. So I asked to go back to camrese and it worked for the first  5 months no problem but then I had spotting again. So I asked for a new pill but that made my period  twice as heavy flow. I then asked my doctor if I could have the same hormones in camrese but for monthly and not yearly but she said I can  do that myself, I love it now!"


"Amazing! Had bad spots for years finally went to the docs and got this. Within a week most of my spots have gone and my skin looks the best it has in years! Recommend this to everyone!"


"I've had my IUD implanted for about 5 years now, after realizing how long it's been I decided to see what others were saying about it. Reading these reviews reminds me that everyone is very different! I LOVE THIS IUD it has been great for me since the start & it works for me. The placement is painful, it can be described as a strong pinch on your insides, and obviously that area is extremely sensitive so yes! It's painful but you can tolerate it. You are sore for the remainder of the day and you sure won't want to be touched. My doctor advised me to refrain from intercourse until I felt better but recommended it to adjust the placement of the IUD. Yes in the beginning my partner felt the string, but in months time it went away. "


"Omggg god help me now! Girlll let me tell you. You better make a U turn before you even think about buying this. I feel misirble just by thinking that I did this to my self it burns like hell.... don't buy just go to the doctor.."


"Have been on Zoloft for over two years.  Though I still struggle with anxiety and depression, I can't imagine where I'd be without it.  It has helped my moods improve, and panic attacks are very rare."


"Losartin has been very effective controlling my BP.  Started @ 100mg which made me extremely tired and lethargic.  I cut back to 75mg (1 50mg/ 1 25mg.)  I am experiencing intermittent dry cough and extremely dry mouth during the night.
After 4 years, I am beginning to experience some of the other documented side effects like dizziness and stiff/sore muscles.  However, I have had fewer  side effects with Losartan than other BP meds.  (I am 69 with enlarged aorta)"


"I started the medication yesterday due to serve bronchitis that developed from an upper respiratory infection. After the first dose (just 30 minutes) I had to call an ambulance and take my epinephrine. My throat closed, I was unable to breathe and I was having sever pain on the left side of my chest. This medication is awful. I now have to go back to the doctors office and get something else that WON'T potentially kill me."


"Just get the pill form to save yourself from extra itching and burning... It's gone in 24 hours. If you don't have a Gyno then go to an urgent care they'll send it into the pharmacy for you. But if you do dare to try monitstat prepare your insides to itch even worse in approximately 10-15 after taking it but keep it in there... The itchiness simmered down in about an hour it's not too horrible anymore but defiantly don't think it's worth taking, especially when the pill form is cheaper and works faster"


"After trying many other traditional migraine medications, finally Neurontin converted my almost daily headaches to one every 10 days or so.  I am able to treat these breakthrough migraines with Migranal.  I have a life!"


"TERRIBLE. bought the generic store brand but the pain is terrible! Horrible burning in my vagina. I decided to look at reviews to make sure it was normal. I'm currently in FULL BURNING PAIN! Don't buy!!"


"I tried a couple different SSRI's and found that most of them gave me bad side effects and made me feel empty, so when I heard about Wellbutrin I asked my doctor if I could try it. It's one of the few that also doesn't give you a decreased sex drive. I was a bit scared after hearing some of the negative reviews, but this medication works wonders for me. I have had no side effects at all and within a day I started feeling better. I would recommend this to anyone who hasn't had luck with SSRI's."


"I suffer from IBS and haven't gone to the toilet properly in 9 days. I have taken Dulcolax before so I  know the pains can be intense but somehow when time passes and you haven't taken them in a while you think I'll give them another go but NEVER again! I took 2 tablets around 6pm. It is now 22.40 and I'm in agony I mean severe stomach cramps and not even any BM what a waste of time and the pain is just so bad! Please be very careful when taking these and would advise if you suffer from severe constipation take a some thing else and drink plenty of water. I can't even go to bed as the pain is too intense. Please avoid!"


"The taste was not terrible, but I do not drink large volumes in such a short period of time.  I found the volume of water to be sickening. I had my first bowel movement within 15 minutes of drinking the mixture. I  am about 2 hours past my initial dose. I am nauseous and have severe chills.  I have been drinking ginger ale in hopes of calming my stomach.  I am not looking forward to the 2nd dose which I am supposed to take in 2 hours -- 4 hours past initial dose. I think I should have started earlier in the day; I don't want to be up all night."


"Avelox rocks. I had a bacterial infection and did not realize it until I was in an urgent care after 8 days of misery. I went in thinking I had a double ear infection but was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. I am allergic to Amoxicillin so my Doctor gave me Avelox. I don't like it at all because of its side effects but it works. After one day on it, I felt like a million bucks. However, my skin itches a wee bit, I'm dizzy, feel anxious and paranoid. I have almost every side effect. I made the mistake of taking it on an empty stomach and heading to my daughters school to pick her up. Just be careful. Learn how your body reacts to it."


"64 yrs old, difficulty sustaining an erection, have tried Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and now Stendra.  Viagra gave me irregular heartbeat, Cialis gave me the worst headache and severe facial flushing but worked great, Levitra had lesser side effects but stopped working despite increasing the dosage.  Have used Stendra about 4 months now, have had to increase the dose steadily, now it is effective at 250 mg and still very limited side effects, a slight headache sometimes, no body or back ache, slight facial flushing, so basically it is the best erectile dysfunction medicine I've yet tried."


"Been on it for several days and can't take it no more. Horribly  nauseous, the scariest night terrors ever and head hurts so bad I thought I would pass out. I really thought I could get through it and it would work. I just can't take it. So sad."


"I started the pill 3 weeks ago. I'm spotting almost every day and I am trying to take it in the morning at every same time between 0700-0900. But not consistent so I may have to change my timing. I have a few cramps but nothing compare to before. So hopefully things will get better as many explained here."


"I took medication first day with food. I was very restless, sweating. I had to change clothes 3 times. Caused my heart to race. My head was hurting so bad. The reason I was taking medicines was to calm down my migraines. I didn't like medication at all!"


"I had the implant placed in the beginning of May. My arm was too sore to move the first 2-3 weeks but I gave it time and it finally had stopped causing me pain. Then the migraines started. I don't have a history of migraines or headaches and now every single day my head is killing me without relief from over the counter meds. My sex drive is dead and to top it all off, I started lightly bleeding in June and it never stopped. I'm going to see a doctor to make sure my lab work is okay since I've been bleeding non stop for over a month. The implant also migrated about 3 inches up my arm which I read it wasn't supposed to do. As soon as my insurance starts again, it's coming out.  Don't get it!"


"Awesome results.  I rarely have cold sores.  Roughly one every 2-3 years.  Never have had ANY relief from various home remedies or OTC solutions.  Cold sore forms in the same place on the upper lip just below my mustache which can be confused in the initial stages with an ingrown hair/pimple.  Difference being that hair doesn't form on the lips! Ha.  Outbreak swells quickly within 2 days to a nickel sized dimension with an actual open sore (yellow/white) 1/3 the size.  I took 2 doses of 2mg 12 hours apart after swelling had started.  A small yellow outline was already forming under the skin of the lip and I thought I was going to have another 2 week episode.  Woke up this morning and the swelling was down and yellow gone!  Really amazing!"


"Vicodin works very well, I take it 5-6 times a day for my pain with lupus. I wouldn't change my Vicodin for anything."


"I think it works well."


"I'm on Xiidra for 4 weeks and have seen significant improvements. I can go outside in dry air of winter and my eyes are always wet. I have my all tear ducts plugged and expect two of them would be deplugged after a few months of use. Satisfying medicine!!"


"Although Ambien did the job to rid me of insomnia, the side effects were too frightening so I had to stop using it.  I began sleep walking, sleep cooking--yes, an entire meal at 2 AM-- and I don't remember and finally sleep driving.  I was stopped by a state trouper, in my pajamas on I-80 heading west at 11 PM.  Don't remember any of it.  Never took it again. "


"This is a very expensive eye drop and the company only puts enough in the bottle to get exactly 28 to 30 days. You can easily run out early. I'm sure it wouldn't bankrupt the company to put enough to get a full month out of it. Greedy I guess. I told my doctor to prescribe a different eye drop. I'm happy now."
