"I found that this drug helped extremely well in my battle to quit smokeing. I did suffer from almost every non leathal side effect it can give you aside from sevier depression.

I was a 15 year smoker and used the starter pack to quit. I have been two months shy of a year smoke free."


"I take Savodi and Deklenza  together once a day and genotype 3A.  I've had a few side effects that's listed but nothing that I can't deal with. The most   Bothersome side effects for me is  it feels like my insides are slightly burning.  I can hold my hand and inch from my body especially over my tummy area and I can feel heat radiating off of my skin   Two weeks after taking these medications together my RNA came back less than 15 so I'm completing this course I'm very excited"


"Have been on and off Saphris several times. For me, being on Saphris is like turning a light switch on. I go from being manic/depressed to functioning like a normal human. But.... the side effects have made me quit several times - irregular heartbeat, fainting, nausea, etc. Now back on at a low dose with Lamictal and clonezepam for panic disorder. Feel pretty good. Hope it will last. Without Saphris, I am non-functional - so doing my best to manage the side effects while getting the benefits of this medication. Best of luck to all."


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


"I'm prescribed Avita along with clindamycin phosphate and these products are the ONLY products that's able to clear my skin. In addition my skin is left with a luminous glow, texture and dark spots are cleared also. My skin is extra soft too, and though I'm only 18 and do not have wrinkles, I get 0% of its presence (due to dry skin usually left with expression lines. However with the use of this medicine I don't)."


"Had terrible head cold; Veramyst worked very well keeping sinuses dry and open.  Also, this is the first nasal spray that did NOT irritate my nose/sinsuses.  I'm happy after using for five days."


"After trying many other medications & various limits on certain types of food, my Dr. ordered 10 mg at bedtime. Within 2 days, my Irritable Bowel was controllable. I still have to watch what I eat, but at least I can leave the house and have a normal life."


"This is my 2nd post. Today makes 4 weeks and total I have lost is 13 lbs so it averages to 3.25 per week, I still work out at least 4 x per week maybe more. I am making lifestyle changes and still doing weight watchers to keep track of my points. My goal is to be on better choices so that when its time to stop taking the medicines I will not gain any of it back. I will post again in another few weeks. Good luck everyone."


"This medicine has given me a new life by allowing me a good nights sleep."


"Am mid-way into my 2nd week and wanted to report preliminary results.  I am a comfort/stress eater who gained 70 pounds in 2 years.  No side effects, other than being tired at the end of the day (which is not a reported side effect, so maybe from change in diet).   I am still hungry, but it is easier to turn away from night-time snacks.  I was able to turn away from my children's Halloween candy, which was a first.  I didn't want a cafe con leche this morning (sweet/milk) - which is my constant craving.  I've had modest weight loss, which I started about 2 weeks prior to the Contrave, for a total of 15 pounds in just under 4 weeks. Starting weight 201, 5'5" female, mid 40's. Time will tell, so far so good."


"I've been on the NuvaRing now for two years. As a birth control medicine and ease of use, I give it a 10, because I've had no pregnancies and just set a reminder on my phone. I'm giving it zero stars for my quality of life. It has caused dryness during sex so much that I've developed vaginal fissures and the dryness has made my sex life with my husband non-existent. I also have no libido to speak of when before it was healthy. I'm looking into getting the Paragard inserted because even if that gives me heavy periods at least I'd get my vagina back."


"My experience with SSRIs have been terrible. I've been on Cipralex and Sertraline and they haven't worked at all. My doctor was really excited for me to try this one and I finally caved. The first few days were normal and the side effects were minimal (dry mouth, constipation, low appetite, a bit of drowsiness) but that all was manageable and went away pretty quickly. By the 9th day, I woke up and I just knew something was different. It's like my eyes were open and I had my life back. Having had depression for about a year, I always felt this grey cloud and weight constantly taking over my body and life. By the 7th week, mood + motivation was wonderfully back. I have my life back. Please try this if you can."


"I am on my second month of Contrave and I am down 18lbs. I follow a lower carb diet and exercise about 2-3 times a week. First medicine that has helped me lose. I normally lose and gain back due to hormone issues, but this actually works! I would recommend to anyone."


"It’s a love hate relationship. Effectiveness I love it. I’m 26 no kids and I would say it does the job. Like any bc there are pros and cons. Pros my periods are super light, cramps are minimal, not pregnant, you don’t have to remember to take a pill, and it was $35 for 3 years. Cons I got super depressed the first 3 months of being on it, I never had acne until now and it’s embarrassing it’s cystic acne and I have acne scars and no acne meds help, I have my period on an off for 2 weeks out of the month, I snap a lot at my husband, hair loss the first 4 months on it, and now I have intense back pain to the point I can’t sit or stand. I love it but I’m really considering taking it out in 2 months."


"Ok so I was on the pill at an early age of 16 for PCOS syndrome till about 20 yrs old. I went cold turkey at 20- till 24 and decided to get back on when I got in a serious relationship. It was good the first week or 3. No weight gain, larger breasts, no mood swings...up until the last week of the month. I began have SEVERE anxiety, constant ALL day nausea, and horrible mood swings. I felt so sick everyday and I even went to the hospital. I can honestly say this was the worst experience on birth control I ever had. The stomach sickness and constant hand shaking and anxiety feeling was enough for me to stop this mid packet!"


"I recently had a back operation and was put on Roxicodone and 20 mg Opana ER. It works very well in my opinion. I am able to move around more and not sleep all day due to pain, I would recommend it for anyone with chronic or severe pain."


"I had to roll myself out of bed each morning and wake up every night just trying to turn over in pain, it hurt so bad I used to cry. I also have restless legs and arms. They gave me this medication and I am so thankful. It is such a blessing for me. It seems like a miracle when I go from being unable to walk upright to being able to move pain free. It stops my legs and arms from moving too. It is the only medication that has helped. I want to thank my doctor for helping me have some quality of life."


"This medication had me in severe hypersomnia, barely able to function at work, sleeping all day. Worked great for anxiety, but everything was numbed out. I'm stopping this cold turkey. I tried 5mg, 10mg and 15mg."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Just completed my colonoscopy today.  Due to family history, I have them every 3-4 years.  This was my second time with Suprep and was (again) very pleased.  Easy to drink (as these things go) and bowel prep was effective/painless.  No issues during the night (after round one) and the prep the next morning had me completely prepared for a good procedure."


"This medication saved my life at a time when I was severely suicidal.  I finally feel "normal" after 5 years battling MDD and GAD.  Tired citalopram, vibryd, Zoloft, Effexor, Xanax and some others I can't remember.  Tried holistic and homeopathic remedies.  I just kept getting worse and worse.  I have no side effects, my depression and anxiety is completely manageable and I feel like I have my life back."


"I have had the Mirena for 13 months now.  I had light bleeding in between periods the first two months and then just a light brown discharge between what should have been periods ever since.  I had cramps the first 8 months, but they were sporadic and disappeared within 30 seconds each time I felt one.  I would get occasional cramps when I should have had a period.  No skin breaking out, no mood swings at all.  I want to KISS the person who invented this.  And it didn't hurt when I had it inserted.  Felt like a huge menstrual cramp for about 30 seconds and that was it and I have never had a baby.  So far, so good!"


"My experience with Nexplanon has been a emotional and physical roller coaster, I feel that this BC is very effective due to the fact that your always bleeding. About the first week of Nexplanon was normal, and after that my life has been really crazy. mind you I have been on this product for almost 7 and a half months, I just thought that all the spotting was supposed to happen. When I tell you (minus the first 2 weeks) I have been spotting ever since I got it put in; I have LITERALLY been spotting ever since I got it in. I do not recommend this product unless you like to be on your period all the time. Even though I am not pregnant this birth control was controlling my life. I'm getting it taken out soon."


"I am 25 years of age, and I am a chronic pain patient. 3 years ago (2009) I began to feel chronic pain all over my body; more and more as time goes on. There isn't a muscle in my body that doesn't hurt. Vicodin has saved my life! I've been on 8  5mg tablets daily. Were it not for Vicodin, my ability to perform everyday tasks would be severely compromised. Normal activities whether is mowing the lawn, or even getting out of bed are difficult. My pain level ranges between 5-9. Vicodin always takes all the pain away. I highly recommend this medicine if you are seeking relief from chronic pain.

"


"I started this after talking to my doctor about how I was scared to gain weight with an antidepressant (I gained 15 pounds on Zoloft).
This medicine made me feel crazy! I took it for 2 weeks, and every day I felt like there was a brick on my eyes/head. I felt like I was going to have a seizure any moment (no I've never had one, I just felt like I was going to). I was sensitive to light, and couldn't see when I was driving at night. It was awful!!! I'm on Prozac now and seem to be doing ok :)"


"I started Saxenda at the start of April 2016. On the first day I wasn't hungry at all and had to force myself to eat. Felt quite the same in the first week but from then on found myself eating much less.

After a month I had lost about 4kgs (combined with regular exercise). I have now been on it for just over 3 months and have found the effects of my lack of hunger have worn off. I get hungry but probably not quite as hungry as I did pre Saxenda. I am feeling fuller more quickly during meals and my portions aren't as big but in the last 3-4 weeks I haven't lost any weight and have even put on a few cm's. I haven't been exercising regular since the first month.

For sustained weight loss I think you need to eat healthy as well as exercise."


"I'm not even up to the full dose on this medication and I feel great! Started 1.5 mg about a week ago going up to 3 mg tomorrow. My anxiety is gone and I haven't needed any Ativan. I'm happier and more up beat. It's so nice to feel like myself again after two years feeling a little off. The only thing was I experienced some nausea the first few days but I think it's going away."


"I'm going to start with the inactive pills tomorrow. I must say that the first week I used Aviane, my face and shoulders broke out terribly. But by the time I reached the middle of 2nd week, the breakouts started to calm down. I still do have pimples right now and discoloration from the breakout it gave me, but my skin is getting better. I noticed that my shoulders aren't breaking out anymore. I'm experiencing a loss of appetite so I think that's whats making me lose weight. Also, I tend to have "gag moments". I know it's kind of weird. I think my boobs got a little big too. I guess my body is still adjusting to the hormones I'm putting in so I'm just going to be patient about it."


"As a chronic relapsing opiate addict, Vivitrol has been an excellent medication to aid my recovery. Have not noticed many side effects, if any. Basically eliminates my cravings for opiates and alcohol and provides good mental insurance knowing that if I do use opiates, I will get no effect from them."


"Oh it works and it works well. Took about 3 hours to kick in and now I have the dribbles. It’s like freaking Niagra Falls now! Beginning to wonder if I am going to have to take an Imodium to counteract the MC. I drank the full bottle over the course of an hour and followed it up with some water."


"I have taken this medicine once before and it made me have flu like symptoms, diarrhea, terrible taste in my mouth in general feel awful when I am on this. I agree with person above almost worse than having the pain from diverticulitis.  I am also taking Cipro so no dairy products, antacids tablets.  Basically I try to force my self to eat and drink and sleep through the worst of the systems. This is miserable and depressing.  As soon as I can I plan to try to eat the recommended about of Fiber 25-30 grams.  I never want to have diverticulitis again twice in 5 months is to much.  I have 1 more week of meds, feels like a life time. "


"I've been on Sutent for 18 months, I had my primary tumour removed but have 7 metastities on my aorta, these have all reduced in size by approx. 70%. I have had very managable side effects and put this down to diet change: no sugar, low carb and minimal alcohol. I'm 42 and I'm leading a very active life thanks to Sutent. The only downfall is that I know it stops working after a time but until then I'll cherish every moment with my family."


"I am having a great time with the patch. I was on the ring for around 6 months (at age 15) and had continuous breakthrough bleeding. Since my switch to the patch, that's cleared up. I've been on it for almost a year and I haven't experienced any nausea or head aches. I have gained around 10 pounds and I cry and get emotional more now. The patch can look alittle nasty but that's fine. And SUPER SHIRT PERIODS!! One 3-4 days now!!"


"100 % effective for my High Blood Pressure."


"I got it inserted in August  2014 and I know it was supposed to cause an irregular period. The first period I had was 4 weeks, then 3 then 2...I am on it currently (February 17 2015) and I've been on it since December 28 2014. I am having extreme migranes, nausea, cramps, mood swings and dizziness. Hopefully these symptoms will clear out and I will stop my period soon and have a regular one, or else I'm getting it taken out. It works because I'm not pregnant; but how am I supposed to have sex when I'm always on my period? I've also gained 15 pounds and I don't think its worth all the side effects"


"Methadone has saved my life."


"I have been taking LoSeasonique for 6 1/2 weeks, thought I was going to really like it but started my period 7 days ago with cramps and all and it is still going on, I have a call in to my doctor just waiting for a phone call. I am seriously thinking about giving it up as it was only to alleviate PMS symptoms as I am done having kids and my periods before were only 3 days so would rather have 3 days with severe cramps then non-stop spotting or period as I would call it. Oh and I have also gained weight from it, not much but it has only been 6 weeks."


"I have severe IC. This is the only Med that my Urologist will prescribe for my 9/10 pain. I take 50mg 3x/day. It does lower pain level to a 1/2. However I get headaches and just a bit "foggy".

All things considered though I cannot function with the pain so I have to tolerate these side effects in order to live a "normal" life.

Norco did work better but my MD will no longer prescribe that due to addiction possibilities."


"So I had to change my birth control. I have been on the depo for 5 years and I told it will be healthy to switch since after time it begins to break down your bone density. So I research many birth controls and came across implanon. I did a lot of research and reading other women's reviews had me very scared because of the terrible side effects. When I first went to get the implanon I was denied because I had sex within a 10 day period so take note no SEX lol. I went from no period with the depo to period about 6 days a month. My periods were not heavy at all. I have not experience any mood swings, nor low sex drive. I have had the implanon since March 2015. I would recommend it to anyone. But do take note everyone's body reacts differently"


"Caused severe vomiting, stomach upset, and diarrhea. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish the full course."


"I am very happy with Concerta. I am 17 years old and started taking this about 3 months ago. Before I took this, I had a lot of trouble in school with paying attention and focusing, and after I took it, I noticed an immediate difference and it was so much easier to focus and pay attention. Another really positive feedback from Concerta is that it helps me engage in conversation more because I am more focused and I don't interrupt people like I used to. Also, it helps me think things through more."


"I've used this for 2 years and have had no problems whatsoever. I previously had an arm implant and experienced spotting and weight gain that wouldn't stop. After taking Quasense I've lost weight, no spotting, light & short periods. I use retin a for acne so my skin has been unaffected. I'm not sure about water retention because I believe that has a lot to do with diet and I'm athletic so I stay hydrated on a daily basis. I experienced no nausea, headaches, psychological side effects.  And most importantly, no pregnancy."


"I am on 40mg of Prilosec for GERD and I have zero heartburn 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Do not forget to take a dose or else the fire monster comes up your throat."


"Within 2 weeks, after numerous other medications, my mind came back.  For me this is what I would call a miracle. It gave me energy without jitters, and has helped me think clearer.  The only problem I have had is stomach, but for now I am taking only 20mg and it is better."


"I have had this birth control for a little over 6 months now. Two weeks after the implant was inserted (painless) I had my period which last 14 days!  By the time of my second period I only had minimal spotting. I had miserable cramps and psycho mood swings for about two months. By the time of my third period I had no spotting or bleeding at all and the cramps mood swings were subsiding. My skin is the same, I haven't gained any weight (actually lost a few pounds), a little mood swings, no periods, and no pregnancy. I really like the implant. I don't have to think about it. The first couple months were rough but now it's a breeze and I'm really glad that I have it."


"Very nice, helped heart, now do sports easy, no more hard breathing"


"Took my first dose Saturday night.  Wow! What a difference the next morning, I was wide awake, alert and hot to go to my work and my college lessons! As I write this I have been on Xyrem for about three months, and recently started having hand tremors occasionally.  I noticed that one other person ("Anonymous") mentioned shaking; once in awhile my tremors are strong.  Xyrem certainly has cured my severe narcolepsy, which began about a year ago without warning.  I am glad to see that several people have been on Xyrem for years without any adverse side effects, and no withdrawal symptoms when they stopped briefly. "


"After taking the cough syrup, in less then an hour I had such intense cramping in my stomach that I had a hard time walking straight, it was pure torture! Then I had nightmares All Night and didn't sleep good at all, missed work because of it the next day...the worst part, it made my throat tickle even more then before I took it."

"This was the 1st night in months I actually slept 8-9 hours. Took this little pill at midnight. Actually, woke up at 5 am due to pain in left knee area due to previous medial/lateral meniscus tear. Had arthroscopic surgery approximately 2 months ago but still painful especially at night. Doctor claims pain is due to arthritis so I sleep with a moist heating pad wrapped around the knee to ease the pain. After waking at approx 5 am, re-wrapped the heating pad around knee and fell back to sleep within minutes. I've never been able to return to sleep in the past. I used to walk the floors after sleeping 3-4 hrs. Slept until 9:30 this morning."


"Braintree Laboratories describes their product, SUPREP, as having a “berry” flavor. Not as well understood, is that I think it is the oft-maligned Satanberry. Satanberry is known for its noxious odor and, if unfortunate enough to be ingested, causes Krakatoa-like eruptions of sulfurous gas and violent, firehose-like evacuations of all internal solids and liquids. Poo foam? Yes, you will probably experience this rude shock too. Anus as red as a baboon’s behind? You betcha. Aftershocks may occur the day after the actual colonoscopy. In my opinion, SUPREP is overkill for preparation of bowel cleansing. Go for the gentler Prepopik or MoviPrep, either of which I will again insist upon for my next cleansing prior to colonoscopy."


"I was on this drug for about 3 weeks. It did not curb my appetite. In fact, I was increasingly hungry and could not stop eating. I gained 10 pounds on it, which I'm assuming is not how this drug is supposed to work. Once I stopped, my appetite returned to normal; however, now I have 10 pounds to lose in addition to the 30 I initially wanted. I am sure I was a unique case, but I would caution that if you start gaining, stop the drug. I felt like I needed to stay on it because it was so expensive and I didn't want to waste my money. And, my doctor said to give it time. Well, 10 pounds was enough time."


"Originally I was on this pill but then later given samples of Seasonique. That was the worst mistake ever! I was on Seasonique for 9 months and had breakthrough bleeding for 8.5 months! I switched back to Quasense and ever since then I haven't had a single problem. Awesome pill!"


"I've been taking this pill for over a year now and I must say out of 3 different birth control pills I have taken this one seems to be the best! Skin didn't break out and did not gain or lose any weight. For months at a time I didn't get no period and that was awesome because my cramps on period are terrible so that was a plus. Honestly I is probably different for each individual but for my self a 19 year old girl at the time weighing 110pounds felt great I do recommend"


"I use Azor. I love it. I would recommend Azor to everybody that needs a high blood pressure medicine."


"Worst pill ever. I have never experienced such awful acne as when I was on this pill. I had cysts everywhere and wanted to just cry. I do not ever recommend this to even my worst enemy."


"I had Nexplanon put in early last September. For the first few months everything was great: no bleeding at all. Around December I began to experience some truly terrible side effects. I began to bleed constantly and my sex drive basically disappeared. I gained ten pounds that I can't seem to shake; despite GAINING weight, my breasts have SHRUNK over a cup size. Needless to say my self confidence markedly decreased. By late April, I had enough and got the implant removed. My hormone levels still don't seem to have returned to normal yet.I personally know many people who had great experiences, but Nexplanon was HORRIBLE for me."


"Had a few wobbly weeks on this to start (spacey, insomnia, etc) . I think I may have been in trouble with depression /anxiety  (for longer than I'd admit to), but the fact I gladly accepted the side effects (with a view to long term benefit)   probably showed where I was.   Ironically, I'm a psychologist (who should know better) , but working full time with 2 babies, I don't think I appreciated  the stress I was under. Finally, after citalopram,  found I could enjoy and get a kick out of my kids, rather than 'cope'. We've been sharing hugs (after week 4), rather than threats & consequences. I  wish I had done this years ago. I'm so grateful to my primary care physician that she's saved me to get some perspective before they're too old "


"Hypercare WORKS! It was fantastic. And since it's an externally-applied product, your body wont "adapt" to it over time & lessen the effect it can provide."


"Works great with almost no side effects. Causes diarrhea in dosage of 1000 mg, but none at lesser dose. No yeast infection."


"this drug is EVIL!!!! stay away from it."


"For me, this worked great as pain relief for a herniated disc. I found the pain to be less agonizing throughout the day, and I could do things that I needed to (cleaning, vacuuming, grocery shopping, carrying the groceries, etc.).  The problem that I had with the medication is that I had horrible memory loss.  I am a full-time student and could not handle the problems I had trying to retain hard information.  My doctor tried to combat this by putting me on Ritalin but then I couldn't sleep.  I have had to go off of pain relievers for this exact problem."


"This is the third week I have been on this pill. Absolutely worst birth control I have ever taken. I have been having really bad pains in my chest like the left side where my heart is. Shortness of breath, pains in my breast, and mind grains on a daily basis. I am stopping this pill as of today. I think I will just use condoms because I not putting my life at risk again."


"I'm scrolling through the reviews of this birth control and I feel as if everyone is really magnifying the weight gain. I personally have lost 30 pounds from starting it a year and a half ago. The weight gain comes from cravings, the same type you have when you're on your period. If you are aware of these cravings and don't consistently over eat you won't gain weight. My Dr. told me that from the get go and I think it made me more conscious of the fact. I have had sporadic bleeding but nothing a light tampon couldn't handle. It was a minor set back but less of a setback than getting pregnant. Also, if the Dr. couldn't find it for removal, it was put in wrong. I can literally feel mine under my skin when I touch it."


"My doctor prescribed Seroquel for a number of Psychiatric conditions I have.  They are: Depression (already on 40mg Celexa for this, Seroquel helped as an add on), OCD, Generalized anxiety disorder, Anorexia, mood instability.  Seroquel helps with all these conditions, although it causes moderate constipation."


"After about a week of taking this, I woke up n the middle of the night to the most nauseous I've ever been and broke out in a rash on both of my arms. The following morning I was super dizzy and felt like passing out. Went to the nurse right after and switched to Vienna which is much better so far, except for a little breakthrough bleeding, but I'd rather have that than what I've experienced before."


"Saphris has helped me a ton.  My anxiety and insomnia were so bad that no other med would calm me down enough so that I could sleep.  Saphris is very strange to me because unlike other drugs (seroquel, xanax) I do not feel it "kick in".  All I know is that I end up asleep with no problems.  If I am having a panic attack, I will take a dose of it and my symptoms completely go away within a half hour.  It has been three years and it still works great."


"Peripheral Neuropathy : Used Lanacane on area of leg and several toes during the day for relief over
and above four pain medications I take.
In spring of 2012 I developed a low red blood count (5) and needed transfusion.
After many tests  including bone biopsy was diagnosed with MDS and set
up for Procrit . I had 1 injection and started  researching my disease  & quickly
discovered info on benzocaine. I stopped using immediately & have had
normal tests since then.  I lay no blame on anyone but myself because this
cream is meant for temporary use only and I used it for probably 5 or 6 yrs.
Thank you for your interest. I am a 74 yr female."


"Well, my YI is gone, but I'm fairly certain that's because my entire vagina has been burned off. I had no ice pack so I used a bag of frozen veggies and sat with them down there for an hour before the intense "omg, who lit a fire down there" burning ended. Seriously, unless you like feeling like your vagina has been set on fire, do NOT use this product."


"Used it for 1.5 months. Worked to a limit. Its the 4th medicine I tried in about 6 years. Moving to something else next week. If it does not work Dr. told me Botox is it."


"The pill worked great at preventing babies, but it did make me extremely tired all the time. Plus it made me super emotional, crying about the littlest of things to being angry about everything. It also made my skin break out really bad."


"Have used this drug for several years - I started when Alesse was no longer carried by my pharmacy.  I have not had any problems at all.  It is also very inexpensive."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I am taking this in conjuction with AC Chemotherapy for IDC Breast Cancer. I am 40 years old and haven't had much aching that I couldn't take care of with Advil. Not a bad trade-off for good white blood cell numbers."


"I take several meds for my mood disorder. It is difficult to truly evaluate the medication fully, but also I just started it one week ago. I am taking Latuda 40mg and I plan to ask the doctor to adjust it to 80mg. Some people experience restlessness which can be controlled with a sedative or congentin. I am still tapering off of Zyprexa and I am noticing some moodiness, but I also take Adderall which helps me concentrate and stay focus around people which is my biggest fear. I hope it works out for me as it does for others to."


"I take 20 mg of Celexa and 300 of Welbutrin. When I don't take them, I'm much more irritable. I can still feel sadness and happiness, I just feel level somehow. If you stop cold turkey, it causes nausea, for me anyways, and i can tell I feel different off them. Still have some obsessive tendencies but overall, I wouldn't want to not take them."


"I was prescribed this medication yesterday after struggling to sleep when my Ambien became ineffective.  When I took it, I waited 1.5 hours to feel sleepy and I didn't.  I then took a 2nd pill (30mg total).  After 3 hours time it still hadn't worked for me.  I was in bed, ready to sleep, no real distractions.  I finally had to take Ambien on top of it and then I felt a bit tired and struggled all night.  Not sure if this is a medication that takes time to work, but it didn't touch me at all."


"Had no side effectSo whatsoever.  I read a lot of reviews stating how some women felt sick. I absolutely didn't get any symptoms."


"I took Aviane for only 10 days but in that time I gained a bit of weight, had severe migraines almost everyday, spotting and severe nausea. I have migraines triggered easily normally but this was ridiculous. I woke up one morning and almost threw up because I constantly felt so sick. On day 11, before I could even take my next pill I started my period very heavily with very painful cramps - I wasn't supposed to start for another 2 1/2 weeks (this is what I was put on the pill to control). "


"I've only been on it for 4 days but I refused to go back on Adderall. I require 2 30mg Adderall tablets a day and experience audio hallucinations after taking it for about 18 months. I have been off Adderall for 15 months. I told my Dr. I refuse to be back on it. I also suffer from an anxiety disorder. All of my mental health care is very well-documented from the time I was 14 years old. I am now 32 and at a place in my life where I do not want to take any stimulants to help me Focus. I do take lorazepam but I'm down to 15/ 2 milligram tablets a month from 60. I seem to have energy and increased concentration with Wellbutrin. Adderall keeps me more focused but it's not worth the side effects.  I also take 1/3mg of Lunesta to sleep."


"I have been on Contrave for 7 weeks and have lost 10 lbs with no change in exercise.  It has suppressed my appetite.  I have had no side effects other than a bit of an upset stomach for an hour on 2 different days, which went away after I drank some water.  I am very happy with it.  I wish I had started taking it a long time ago. It is worth the money.  Now I just need to ramp up my exercise so I will drop the weight more quickly. I highly recommend this product."


"Stops panic attacks dead in their tracks at a high enough dose, but even my prescribed dose is enough to calm things down after about 40 minutes so I can think. Doesn't help when I'm manic/hypomanic, but has stopped me from doing more than a couple of silly things while depressed."


"I gave it the benefit of the doubt after the first few times it stopped working. This last time, last night to be exact, I took one before going to bed. I woke up this morning like my nose was a faucet. This is the most frustrating medicine ever... and since it is 24hrs, now I have to suffer ALL DAY before I can take something else."


"I started on taking it on on May 31 2015 as of today i have lost 10 pounds in what will be 2 weeks saturday i have changed my diet to a more responsible eating habits and go to the gym 2 times a week. I take half a pill right now and plan to start a whole next monday not a long term fix but a boost to moral to make me want to do better"


"Well I me and my girlfriend we're going at it and I'm 18. I said I was about to you know and she said just do it so I did haha. It sounded like a good plan at the time but as soon as it happened I freaked out. As we ran to the store an hour after it happened she took the pill and the next day she wasn't feeling to good and it's been about a week now, and she started her period today. I'm so relieved. But it works and don't stress out like I did."


Acetaminophen / caffeine / isometheptene mucate

"Suffering from migraines and tension headaches, Prodrin is a life saver. I used to take Midrin, but I couldn't get it any longer and my pharmacist recommended Prodrin. I don't know why it isn't more popular because IT really works. A side effect I get when I have sinus/allergy headaches, is it opens up my nasal passages. I hope they never stop making it."


"I like this medicine but after reading some reviews I have confirmed some things.  First, I am experiencing insomnia and worsening of my restless legs.  Second the constant sweet cravings and never feeling satisfied after I eat is annoying.  I have had about a 4-5 lbs. Weight gain.  It is like someone takes over and I just eat.  I have no impulse control.  Third, the gas and bloating is awful.  I am fine in the morning but as soon as I start eating I start bloating and developing gas.  I cannot expel it and it makes me so uncomfortable.  It has worked some to level out my depression but I am contemplating weaning off for now."


"I was prescribed phentermine almost two years ago for a three  month period. This drug is wonderful! I lost 50 pounds and managed to keep it off! You must use your time while on phentermine to learn how to eat correctly or you will gain the weight back. Be realistic about your portion sizes and give up processed foods. Not only did I lose the weight while on phentermine I continued to lose weight ( 15lb) after I stopped taking the medication due to my new healthy lifestyle. My BMI is normal now!!!"


"I switched to Gianvi about 3 months ago (after taking YAZ for a year). At first everything was okay, but after a few weeks, I felt more and more depressed, tired and hungry - all the time! I cannot motivate myself to do anything, and I am not a depressed kind of person. I also had headaches, high blood pressure and stomach cramps. "


"It made feel like I was drunk all the time the unsteadiness on my feet blurred vision. It also gave me hives. It made me eat constantly and I gained like 25 pounds during the 2 mths I was on it.  My lower legs and ankles swelled up and I couldn't get the swelling to go down and I tried everything About a wk to 2 wks after quitting benicar 300mg the side effects started subsiding my lower legs and ankles took the longest to go down even my eating has gone back to normal but now I have 25 pounds to loose. I hope this helps anyone thinking about taking it. My mother also worked with a women that took it for about a month and it made her pass out at work one day and she quit taking it too. Hope this helps!!!"


"I had been on Celexa from 2002 to 2014, 20 mg a day.
My doctor told me about Brintellix (now Trintellix) and I switched to it about 2 and half years ago.
Since I am also on Wellbutrin, I only needed 5 mg of Trintellix a day.
Can't say that it makes me feel perfect, but it helped with my depression and anxiety disorder.
Today is the first day that I have not been on Trintellix, but still on Wellbutrin and I am feeling about as even keel as I have in a while, not experiencing anxiety or depression at all.
I'll see how it goes in the next few days, but if I keep on feeling like this, I will stay just on the Wellbutrin and not go back to Trintellix."


"First cycle on these and I've been having breakthrough bleeding for 2 months now. In one week I will go on spacers, not sure if i want to continue, its so frustrating. I did have headaches when I just started cycle, but those went away after 3 days. Breast tenderness lasted the entire time."


"I have suffered from anxiety, muscle spasms, nightmares, tremors, restless legs and mood swings. I have taken 5 mg of Valium, sometimes 10mg on and off since an extremely stressful, nightmare of a divorce my ex dragged on for 3 years.  My attorney suggested Valium, and my regular Doctor had no trouble prescribing this.  30 tablets will often last 3 months - I've had refills expire, as I only take as needed (since 1995).  This medication has been a life saver for me and when I had PMDD (when it was just BAD PMS-in the '90's) I have taken Xanax in the past, and the forgetfulness was unbearable/couldn't drive, withdrawal was immediate and awful.  No problem with Valium!  My pain dr & regular dr won't prescribe Valium  to anyone anymore-long half life? Ativan,buspar didn't help at all."


"I have been taking Magnesium Gluconate for over 30 years and it has worked great. It is gentle on the stomach with no side effects.  I have tried Magnesium Oxide and had horrible side effects."


"Makes me dizzy, unsteady on feet and sleepy. Little to no effect on lowering my blood pressure. Before I started taking meds my diastolic was 80 to  90  now it's 100 and above."


"Ladies this is the absolute worse product made for women ever!! I have just put the prefilled applicator in, and I am ON FIRE!!!! this product should be take off the shelf completely! Please ladies, if you value your precious privates, please don't get this. The amount of itch I am experiencing it's completely ridiculous! I am sitting in bed crying because I don't know how to subside the itching and it's unbearable. Please please do not waste $21 on this product !!!"


"Even though there are many food restrictions, food I dearly love and miss, Parnate has given me my life back. I have been suffering from anxiety and depression all my life and this is the first drug that has actually helped. Thank you for giving me life again."


"This is a fantastic medicine. I'm 31 years old and have struggled with back pain since being about 25. Being very tall (6'4) many of the issues were put down to my tallness.
When the back pain started affecting my breathing I knew something more that being tall was a play.
After a number of differing referrals, I was finally passed to a Rheumatology specialist who spotted my symptoms very quickly and suggested my treatment. It took over a month to get the test results and approvals but when I started treatment the results were within a week for me.
Now I have next to no pain and I have no real symptoms.
The injections are uncomfortable but for 10 seconds of pain for 2 weeks of being able to move and breathe without being in pain is worth it."


"I have been on Atenelol 100 mg for 17 years now. I find my body adjusted to the medicine and keeps my blood pressure and pulse rate under control [125/75, 60]. I switched to Amlodipine but that doesn't work for me and back on to Atenolol."


"My GP prescribed this for anxiety and directed that I take it every 8 hours. Now I have dealt with anxiety and severe panic attacks need immediate relief. This medication was not the one to do that for me. It made me very drowsy and at the same time I still had anxiety. This is not for someone who has a busy schedule because it will sedate you. I think this medication should only be used for its initial intent to control itching. Otherwise it was a waste for me."


"I've had Nexplanon for close to 8 months now. I have had a few heavy periods but just mainly constant spotting and heavy discharge. I haven't had a period in a month and a half, or spotted so I'm hoping this means the periods and spotting are over. I was pretty miserable for a while but I am pretty confident in the effectiveness of this now. I honestly think its worth all the side effects that come with it. It honestly just depends on the person though. Each person has a different experience with it but I think it's definitely worth a shot."


"I just got the Skyla inserted on 6/3/16. First time on birth control! the process itself took about 10 minutes. It hurt a little bit and I felt slight cramping after the insertion but nothing too crazy. I've been spotting ever since though. And just recently I've experienced some intense cramps so I take ibuprofen 2 times a day and it's been helping a lot. So far so good. I recommend it to anyone :)"


"I started the depo shot back in April of 2015 because my MD recommended I should, since he noticed my periods where the leading cause of my sickle cell crisis that would lead me in hospital stays for weeks ever since I had my son. My periods are gone and so is most of my sickle cell crisis, I've lost weight and a partial part of my sex drive. I'm ok with both, staying fit and managing my weight is a plus for me besides the fact that I'm no longer living at a hospital which is what I used to call my home away from home. My sex drive being affected, I'm ok living with that too, as my health comes first for both my child and myself."


"I have been taking Chlorzoxazone for a couple of years to help with leg muscle pain caused by L4-L5 root damage. It helps significantly reduce my pain. I don't believe it makes me sleepy, although there may be a little bit of light-headedness."


"I almost never experience side effects from medicines Rx or OTC and Trazodone was definitely an exception.

When I say it made me dizzy, that is an understatement. I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom with the room spinning so fast I couldn't grip my night stand tightly enough. When I attempted to make my way to the bathroom (10 feet away) and I fell on the floor twice and nearly off the toilet! I couldn't see, stand, sit up – I could hardly even tolerate lying flat without moving at all. And this lasted nearly 10 hours!! 10 hours of pure misery.

I'll take the sleep deprivation over that hell any day."


"I've been on Junel for 10 months now and have no complaints. I had very mild nausea and mood swings for the first 2 months but have not experienced these since. My moderate acne has completely cleared up thanks to this pill. My only complaint is that my pack is 21 days with no placebo pills. I wish I had the placebo pills for consistency.  Also, I did not gain weight but I regularly make healthy lifestyle choices and am active."

"My mom has suffered from schizophrenia for over 37 years.  She has been taking Zyprexa for the past 5 years.  The improvement in her demeanor and ability to fuction through everyday activities has been phenomenal.  She is socializing and enjoying shopping and eating out again.  Thanks."


"Took 50 mg in the morning as directed, the day went fine and I was productive but was awake all night.  Didn't sleep at all and felt jumpy for the first hour or so out of bed.  I've been on Wellbutrin for years and felt like it might not be helping anymore -- well, after a scary night where I felt like I was on a bad trip -- just make it stop -- I'm back to Wellbutrin.  If anyone knows a good alternative to Wellbutrin that's not Effexor or Pristiq, I'd love to hear about it."


"I used Prevacid for 8 weeks for a new symptomatic phase of GERD. Worked when I was taking 2 pills a day. When I cut down to 1 pill a day, some symptoms of GERD came back. "


"I started taking Lyrica for pain from Hashimoto's disease. At first I had a lot of energy. Then, I leveled off and the fatigue is back. The pain is about 85% gone! I did experience a huge emotional roller coaster at first and even had suicidal thoughts for the first time ever. I figured it was just the adjustment period and gave it more time. It has been about 2 months now and I just wish I could figure out if it is the Lyrica causing the fatigue.  I ache too much without it to test the theory."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for about 6 months now and am quite satisfied!  In the beginning, I did experience some nausea for about the first month but once I got over that hurdle everything has gone well.  NO bloating, NO nausea, NO mood swings, and MOST IMPORTANTLY A VERY SHORT CYCLE! My cycle has always been irregular; having about one a year. So with me getting older my doctor said it would be best for my health to try and regulate my cycle.  Well it worked!  If I must have a cycle each month (after not having to for the past 20 yrs) its nice to have one only for a few days and without any PMS symptoms!"


"Viibryd has honestly changed my life for the better. I've had depression and anxiety for 5 years. I was going to therapy (and I still do), but it was recommended I try some medication because I was not really feeling any better and I was very hesitant. I did 5mg for 2 weeks, 10mg for a week, 20mg for a week, and now I'm on 40mg. I experience NO side effects. No diarrhea or nausea like most people have at the beginning. Not only did my anxiety come under control when I started the 20mg, but I feel happy now. My sex drive has been normal and I've actually lost weight since I started Viibryd since I don't have the urge to eat everything now. It's definitely worth a try."


"I've been on Junel FE for about a year now without any problems. My doctor recommended this brand for my extremely painful cramps I'd get at the beginning of every cycle, which would often lead me to throw up from the pain. Upon first starting it, I immediately noticed a positive change. My period lasts about 4 days now (as opposed to 7 days) with very light bleeding and hardly any cramps. Also, even though I've read bad reviews of this birth control due to anxiety and depression-related side effects, I've never experienced any, and I've been diagnosed with both (previous to being on this brand of birth control). Junel FE is a great product."


"On September 6th, 2015 I have been sober for one year.  I could not have accomplished this without Campral.  My GP, who is an American, is very surprised to find it not more widely in use in Canada.  It has saved my life - which I have stated in my previous two reports.  I am now taking Campral every one other day - one tablet in the morning - and will, with the support of my GP, continue doing that for about 3 months.  I want to be sure that I have no temptation to take a drink.  I know that there are others who have had dependency issues who feel that they can return to "controlled drinking", but that is not for me.  I know full well that one SIP of wine will take me back to where I was.  I will not tempt myself and breach my success!"


"I really like this BC overall. I have PMDD, and my anxiety has decreased dramatically, along with my panic attacks and other events that were associated with the PMDD. However, the only downside is that my sex drive has decreased quite a bit. I have noticed a slight increase in ingrown hairs on my face as well, but my doctor told me both side effects were not uncommon. I have had to consider this against taking my BC as I am married, however, I have decided to continue on because it overall makes me feel better and is very effective."


"Started with pill form of methotrexate at 15 mg dosage per week.  Moved to injection form and increased dosage to 25mg per week.  Seen lots of improvement on my psoriasis.  Tired the day and day after injection but not concerned.  Stomach a bit irritated but a little drawback for the good benefits."


"It is the only antibiotic that works for my urinary tract infections, and I haven't ever had any of the side effects.  I generally feel better already after the 2nd dose."


"Had ligament & cartilage surgery on knee in early 80s. By 2000, pain made even sleeping tough. Was prescribed etodolac ER, 400 mg 2/day. Honestly, it gave me my life back. After 1 or 2 yrs, started using only 1 pill per day. Use 2/day only when cycling extra hard, snow-shoeing or skiing. None of these activities would be possible without this Rx! Only drawback is that my skin is a bit dryer and itchier in the cooler months."


"This medicine has changed my life. Typical antidepressants (SSRI's) never worked for me, and if they did the effects wore off after a month or so. I've had mild symptoms of borderline personality disorder and moderate symptoms of ADHD, and after three months of taking it, I can't imagine being off of it. I can control my emotions, concentrate, and FINALLY FEEL JOY, for the first time in my life. My PMS symptoms are also way less intense. I did have mild anxiety in the first week and a bit of nausea for 3 weeks, but the side effects went away after a month or so. My mom tried it for her ADHD, but it didn't work for her, and it doesn't work for everyone. But if you know you have a severe dopamine deficiency (like I did), this medication is definitely worth a shot!"


"I tried the 25mg dosage for atypical facial pain after being unable to tolerate several other anticonvulsants.  No side effects and it calmed the pain - but the relief only lasted 6 hours at the most per day then the pain returned with increased intensity until the next dose the following day.  One week of that was enough.  The Extended Release (XR) did not work for me but changing to topiramate twice a day has, thus far,  been a significant improvement!"


"I've had stomach issues for most of my life (I'm 41) and have tried "everything," with no reliable consistency. I've tried the OTC medicines, Miralax worked for some time then stopped. Suppositories once a week had become my only source of bowel motions. I took Amitiza for 6 weeks, with no positive results.
I took 2 doses of Linzess and Boy! I spent the next 6  hours in the bathroom. Not fun. I even had to step out, mid-shower, conditioner in my hair, to use the bathroom more! And cramps, oh the cramps. This is my 2nd week with the samples my Dr. gave me. I took a pill yesterday...and the same cramps and episode occurred. Didn't last as long but hurt as much. I am sore this morning; my stomach hurts. I will continue with Linzess, it works."


"I've been prescribed tramadol more than once over the years and in my experience it is very ineffective. Ibuprofen and acetominophen both work much better and they both cost a lot less."


"I have had issues with both knees for approx 21 years. I had my left knee replaced in Aug of 2014. I DONT want to experience that type of pain again... So Today I received my 2nd injection of Euflexxa and I'm limping a little more than normal. However, besides today I can tell a slight difference.. I'm hoping after my 3rd injection I can get back to walking and jogging.. It is driving me nuts Sitting still. I'm afraid to gain any weight back."


"One month with this pill, since I started it. I have a lot of mouth dryness, nausea. I prefer taking this pill before going to bed that way I don't feel anything else, but it bothers me completely to have dry mouth the whole day. Hopefully gets better."


"I've been on Zoloft for 3 months now and I've got to say its been pretty good. I am on 50mg a day and sometimes I skip because I'm not so worried anymore. Really has helped out a lot. I'm making friends."


"I got Skyla about a month ago and so far nothing crazy has happened. I have almost zero pain tolerance so the insertion sucked. It was a lot of pressure but pretty bearable up until he went to measure my cervix and was actually inserting the Skyla. I also haven't had any kids so that also plays a factor. I had some pretty bad cramps the day of and the day after but nothing after that. The only real complaint I have about it is the nonstop bleeding and spotting. It went on for about 3 weeks and finally stopped a few days ago. It's nice to not have to worry about taking a pill every day or going to get a shot every 3 months. If you're considering it go talk to your OBGYN about your options and DO NOT go just off of what others say!"


"Best I ever had!"


"I do not recommend getting this for your teenage daughter. When I was a teenager It made me very moody and would get so so upset over the smallest things. Now I am watching my teenage step daughter use it and she is the same way. I am 28 and have been on it for two years now and I finally stopped bleeding and spotting. I have noticed it's giving me muffin top and I am thin. I am switching to the Implanon next week because my doctor recommended that instead of a tubal ligation. I am nervous but so far I heard Implanon is the best birth control."


"Aleve helped with pain.
Took 1 pilll after dinner but had bad side effects.
Stomach pain really sharp, bloating, diarrhea, my intestines were making noises , runny bloody stools.
Pain was unbearable.
No more Aleve for me."


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


"Worthless! Dont waste your money."


"I was so scared to try these tablets. But I must say mood wise I'm feeling fab.They do help you sleep better and have vivid dreams but ive not had any scary ones! and they do make you feel like you don't want to wake up but you soon get out of it once your running around doing things. I looked them up on the net and saw nothing but scare stories. I started on 15mg and was terrified due to what id read. But they was fab! then I went to 30mg as people can start going downhill again on 15mg its completely normal. Then I went to 45mg and they sent me loopy (high serotonin levels) but after 3 days back to 30mg I was fine. I still get panic attacks but pills wont fix that problem. self help and cbt therapy fixes that apparently."


"In the beginning I was on 300 mg of seroquel (not extended release) for 3 years. Got pregnant they took me off. I moved provinces they ended up putting me back on a smaller dose 150mg sleeping wise I would go to sleep right away and stay asleep all night. For the past 2 months they decided to put me on 150mg seroquel xl now it takes me hours to fall asleep and I wake up constantly throughout the night and have a hard time falling back asleep! I feel like xl does not work near as good depression wise and sleeping wise."


"I've had Implanon for almost 2 months now. After the first 2 weeks I got my period and to this day I'm still bleeding. Some days it's very very light, some days it's heavy but most days it's just there. It's only enough bleeding for a light tampon, but the point is I'm still bleeding. This is my biggest complaint about Implanon and I'm hoping it'll stop eventually. But the only other side effect I've gotten from this is the occasional KILLER headache, but an 800mg Motrin takes that away. In fact I think I feel one coming on right now. I can't complain too much, every other birth control I've been on has failed me hence my 2 kids."


"Mom took it for years and it caused her to have dementia!!  Do not take it long term!!!!!"


"I am an unusual case in that I started experiencing attacks before I could walk.  I swell more frequently and severely than any other member of my considerably large family.  Unfortunately, Firazyr has provided minimal relief. It has slowed the onset of swelling, but did not stop it all together. That being said, I am grateful for any relief I can get during an attack, so I would encourage everyone to try Firazyr to treat their own episodes."


"I've had extremely bad anxiety, panic attacks, and mood swings. This medicine is wonderful. It's not very strong but it takes the edge off. I'd recommended to anyone with anxiety."


"Very good"


"This medication has been a God send for me. Since I have been on sertraline, my mood swings and anger problems caused by post traumatic stress disorder, have significantly been reduced. They still happen, but not nearly as often as before I started sertraline."


"I am a pretty regular person so when I didn't have a bm for 3 days I decided to try Dulcolax overnight relief. I took it at 10:30 pm, showered, watched TV then went to bed around 1am. I woke up abruptly at 5:30am in a cold sweat with severe lower stomach pains (very sharp like my insides were being stabbed). For about 30 minutes they were on and off but I never had the urge to use the bathroom. I was able to fall back asleep from about 7:00-8:30 but then woke up again with the pain and decided I could not risk being like this at work (I can work from home if need be). I have now been doubled over in pain on the toilet with a slight urge to go but nothing happening other than stomach pain and some gas. I will never be using this again."


"I am 30 and have had migraines since I was 14. My head has always hurt (to the touch) the day after a migraine. I did not experience that after taking Treximet nor did I have any side effects. I absolutely love this medicine."


"I've taken sertraline for almost 3 months now, and it's been a very positive thing to my life. I feel much less anxious and I feel more confident. I do have to say that my sleep has not improved, in fact might be worse...and I never thought in a million years that I'd be ok with worse sleep. The reason I say this is that I'm not someone who's dealt well with lack of sleep in the past. I was not able to function on even 6 hours of sleep if the sleep was poor and I got up many times. I'd be bed ridden, or really have to push myself, on days when my sleep was poor. Now it's pretty clear that the amount of fatigue I felt was 100% related to being even more anxious on days that I slept poorly. Now, despite poor sleep, I feel much better."


"This Medication is Awseome! I have lost 25 pounds in 4 months.  My A1C went from 10.6 to 7.3. Love this medicine, feel GREAT, belly fat gone, down 2 sizes, only thing is the cost. Like giving you a Cadillac and taking the tires away. $348.00 for 30 pills! Awful insurance won't pay. Off most other medicines, have had MANY that do not work, over 13 yrs, this one works! Off Amaryl 4 mg twice a day, my Lantus went from 42 down to 22, my Novolog from 30 to 5 units a day, Just so frustrating that Insuranse Company does not see the savings on the other meds, and the true results. Have been on metformin, Actos, Januvia, Byetta,  Avandia , Amaryl  worked for 6 yrs plus, have been on Novolog -N, , Levimir, 70/30, none of these medicines worked."


"I had my IUD put in over 3 months ago. About 36 hours after, I went in the sun and immediately broke out in hives! Mostly on my face and they were itchy as hell. I called my gyno and she assured me it was IMPOSSIBLE that the IUD caused the hives. I took Benadryl and they mostly went down. I still get hives every time I'm exposed to sun/heat. About a month in I started having more & more trouble having a BM which wasn't the case before the IUD. I drink plenty of water and eat fibrous foods regularly. I'm CONSTANTLY irritated and emotional, I get acne more than ever, and the constant spotting is becoming annoying. I feel gross, itchy, tired, and bloated every single day and truly don't even feel like myself. I'm getting this thing out Thursday"


"I have been using Kerydin for over a year every day on my toenails. I have seen NO improvement. Very disappointed and would not recommend using thus medication."


"Was on Lexapro 20 for a while but after a bipolar NOS diagnosis, doctor wanted to remove Lexapro and go to Seroquel XR. Usually I sleep 7 hrs, after taking 50mg the first night I slept 13 hours and was barely awake after that. The next night on 100mg I slept 12 hours and was barely functioning throughout the day. I went back to 50 and then back to 100 again and repeatedly found that I was in a haze until the early afternoon. I noticed no positive results and stopped after a week. Will now try Abilify.  Also, I had rather intense dreams and nightmares."


"I am 65. I have had psoriasis and arthritis since I was 13. I was covered. Like others I had used tar, creams, PUVA , UVB in my home and ENBREL which caused many side effects.
Dreaded white flakes everywhere! Itching was just awful. 2 1/2 years ago I tried Stelara, what a wonder I cleared in 2 injections. What a joy to have clear skin and go in public and not be embarrassed. Had to stop because Medicare did not cover it. I became totally covered again worse then ever. Finally found some finical help. I have had 2 injections, all plaque is gone looks so good. I have  a great deal of redness but expect it to clear. I have had a madding itch the past few days, hope it is not a side effect. "


"Finishing up my 6th month with Kyleena. My doctor prescribed me ibuprofen and a cervix softener prior to insertion. Highly recommend you ask the doctor for those. I had zero pain during insertion, just slight uncomfortable pressure and mild cramps after. My period is now very, very light. Hoping it stops all together soon as I heard that is a possibility with this IUD. Partner has no issue feeling the strings. No PMS issues. The only side effects I have experienced have been a bit of weight gain/bloating (not enough to be a deal breaker though) and more oily hair that began the 4th month. This has been annoying but a low maintenance, effective birth control is worth having to wash my hair a bit more often. Will update at 1 year."


"I am a life-long sufferer of OCD - started when I was 7-8 years old when OCD wasn't even a common word or diagnosis - am now 52. I tried many drugs in the 1990s - most had awful side effects. I found Luvox in 1994 (from a  knowledgeable MD) and it helped. I managed to live a productive life. I stopped taking it 5 years ago - thinking I could use my life skills to cope with OCD and anxiety, but learned behavioral and coping skills can only work to a certain extent in a person whose brain chemistry and/or neurons are not functioning correctly. My doctor recommended I get back on it, so I am starting it up again. For what its worth: therapy can greatly help an OCD victim - and IMO the best therapists are the ones that have or had OCD themselves."


"I tried this medication twice. The first time I started at 164 and lost to 157 and then stopped; however, it helped me maintain the 157. I am 5'2" at 59y. The first three days had severe headache, but then like magic it went away. My insurance wouldn't pay for the medication after 9 months because I didn't lose any more weight.

I then tried again about 6 months later, my doctor recommended again, and I started at 167 and lost to 163 and stopped losing. I also this time began to feel very tired and depressed and realized after about three weeks that suicidial and depression are side effects so I had to stop taking it.

Now I am at 176 my scales, on doctors I am 180 and this is all in approximately 18 months."


"I am prescribed to take two 0.5 Xanax a day but in reality I only take it when I am having a panic attack or feeling very tense or unhappy. It works better for anxiety and tension then it does depression as far as I can tell, but then again I don't take it consistently. "


"I got the implanon about a year ago. I gained about 30 lbs. Turned into a emotional wreck! I never was like this until I started using the implanon as my birth control. I can not lose weight! Everything I eat sticks to me! I can eat 1 meal a day and still not lose. When I first got on the implanon I didn't have my period for the first couple of months so I thought it was awesome, then I started getting my period for 2. 5 weeks at a time...I am getting this out next week!"


"Within a few days of starting this birth control I became numb, negative thoughts, anxious, extremely irritable and angry, which is all very unlike me. I couldn't think straight. I love my boyfriend and we have our issues but I was ready to freak out on him every second for no good reason, the poor guy could tell I was not the same person. I did NOT feel like myself and it was obvious to him not just me. On top of all that I was always hungry and craving terrible foods, no self control like I had before starting. The one positive thing was it helped control my break outs, but my mental health is more important to me than perfect skin."


"Metamucil may help side effects:
I started taking Xenical 8 days ago and was quite nervous about the side effects, especially diarrhea because I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Because of this, I have spent much of my life running to the bathroom. 7 or 8 years ago one doctor recommended Metamucil and it changed my life. I now take it twice a day and perhaps this is why I am not having any problems with Xenical. It's worth a try anyway, In 8 days, I've lost 5 or 6 lbs so am quite happy."


"I was on Nexium for more than 4 years and the Barrett's esophagus that I have has been stable. I believe that Nexium has healing properties, but change in diet has to come with it. My husband's insurance now refuses to pay for it because it is supposedly for short term. "


"Skyla was the best birth control decision I have ever had. I've been on it for three months now and absolutely love it. There was certainly a fair amount of pain on insertion and the week after; I will admit that, but it has improved my sex life, hasn't tampered with my systemic hormones/weight gain/etc., makes me feel comfortable and safe, and my partner can hardly ever feel it.

10/10 would reccommend!"


"Sonata for the most part is great. I've had insomnia for years now and nothing seemed to phase me. I'm taking two 10mg and while it does work, I have those night where it doesn't do anything. Can't even tell I took it. I usually take it around 10pm. I've noticed if I have any food in my stomach it doesn't work or doesn't work as well. If I take it on an empty stomach it works great. With my schedule I sometimes can't  eat until around 8:30-9:00 pm so on those nights I usually don't even take it because I know it won't work. Also, sometimes I wake up after about 4-5 hours of sleep and can't go back to sleep. Then some nights I sleep all night. Not sure if it's just me but it seems like sonata is very finicky."


"I've been using Retin-A for about a week now. If you have oily skin or experience breakouts every morning like me, I would definitely recommend this. I use the .01% dosage recommended by my doctor. They told me I may experience peeling of the skin. My skin has peeled in some spots, but it's not very noticeable. I removed the peeled skin by using baking soda and water(great exfoliant!) Skin varies by person. I've given up on every acne regimen and decided to see my doctor. I swear by this stuff. All my acne scars are fading and my skin has become significantly smoother."


"I had my first of three injections of Orthovisc yesterday (1/14/16) into my left knee. The physician numbed the skin and injected the lubricant. I did not experience any discomfort.

The day after the injection I have not experienced any negative side effects.
The overall effectiveness of Orthovisc is still up in the air but I'm eager to keep moving forward with the treatment.

I will post again after completing the three injections."


"I had my illegal IUD inserted about 2 weeks ago so far, and I am not as happy with it as I had hoped, but it's still very early on. The insertion was a breeze compared to how the last two weeks have been. I have has severe pressure/cramping/soreness and even sharp pinching pain in my ovary area to the point I couldn't sleep on my stomach. Then when I had intercourse for the first time since having it inserted everything was fine until we were in a certain position and I let you the most blood curtailing scream, I have no idea what happened with the IUD but I'm 100 percent sure he must have put pressure on it in a certain way it pinched inside of me so bad i have to say it ruined the moment.ive have light spotting ever since the insertion."


"This response is for the person whose Doctor won't prescribe Ativan because it's an old drug. I went to a psychiatrist and that's the med he prescribed for me to help me sleep through the night. It had been 3 months since I'd slept more the 6 hours and usually it was 4 hours each night. Ambien got me to sleep but wouldn't keep me asleep. My PCP prescribed trazadone and that was horrific. She then prescribed doxepin and that sedated me but never put me to sleep. After 3 months of this my PCP said for me to go to a psychiatrist to hear my symptoms and prescribe the right med. he got it spot on. By the second night I was sleeping like a baby and able to naps during the if I felt sleepy. I have gotten myself back. I also take Zoloft."


"I have had the insertion for about five months and it was good for the first month and a half, forgot it was even there. During the middle of the second month I started spotting enough to have to wear tampons everyday and I'm up to my fifth month and still spotting. I'm cranky and it drives me nuts but other than that it's a good method. Everybody reacts differently."


"Probably worst experience of my life. I did like the convenience of the implant being in my arm and not having to remember to take a pill or have something up my vagina. However, nexplanon was NOT for me. I went through terrible mood swings (from being happy one moment to coming close to crying for no reason a few minutes later). My period was pretty much non-existent, which was something I was looking for in a birth control. But, I gained so much weight (accumulating nearly 30 lbs). No matter what I did to lose weight- which I did through working out at least an hour six days a week and cutting my caloric intake to less 1,200 a day- it still did not work. I am getting it removed tomorrow so I'm hoping I will be back to myself soon!"


"I've fought cystic acne since I was 11yrs. old. My face,back,chest,neck and inner thighs. This medicine was no more helpful than the million other topical meds I've used. The commercials I see for acne products just kill me on T.V. They show somone with one little pimple usually crying about how devastated they are about their skin. Show someone like me and others with REAL problem acne! I'm 50 years old and still fighting it. I have taken  every oral med on the market, used every soap and cream known to man with minimal results."


"My sister had eczema and when she used it everything went. Simple! "


"I have been on Symbyax for about 3 yrs.and it works great. Slept like a log, my emotions were suppressed (not sure if that's good or bad).  I was recently changed to generic and I am having problems with mood swings and even worse weight gain."


"I just started my second pack and I have been on my period for the last 3 weeks. At first it was just some spotting. Then turned to a heavy period. I started experiencing moderate acne immediately and my mood swings are through the roof. "


"Better than Enbrel in my opinion. My condition after 3 months has markedly improved to, I'd say,  90% with one dose every other week.  It has changed my life.  As far as any side effects I have not experienced any after 6 months."


"I have been on Endep for 35 years. I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and plenty more. In the last six months I have been getting very odd  symptoms such as the ones provided within this article!( sudden weight gain, inability to eat properly, tiredness, rounded face,weakness, sore mouth and tongue, to slight more depression, At the moment I am on a doctor treadmill ...everyone from my endocrinologist to a neurologist, GP and many more have put their hands up saying I don't know!! The medicines work really well for fibromyalgia but after some time they can work against you! Please look at the list of side effects. I have a lot of them.
Good luck!"


"Hydromet soothes my sore throat and I feel better within a day. The last two doctors only prescribed Benadryl syrup which does nothing and causes side effects."


"So, the night before I used Hypercare, I came onto this site and looked at users reviews, since I was reluctant to use it at first because I was worried it wouldn't work and I'd have bad b/o all day at school. I think the user reviews helped my unsureness because that's what mattered most to me; how it worked for the everyday person. I put it on last night, and it stung and itched (I'm on the second night and the itch is still there) but the next day I barely sweat. I sweat a little at lunch (but since it's the first day it's not fully effective) but that was it! Hypercare is a dream come true. No longer do I have to live with the embarrassment of sweating."


"I got the implant in April of this year, and everything was going fine. Yeah I experienced some cramping and bad headaches but I was fine. Until now, my hair is falling out and starting to thin, I have bad chest pains, I get dizzy, nauseous, makes my stomach hurt with everything that I eat, depression, and suicidal thoughts. I'm getting this thing out. I do not want all of my hair falling out. If this is what I gotta go through just to not get pregnant, sex is out of the question."


"I had Mirena inserted at age 21, no chidren, had preivously tried every birth control under the sun. Insertion was very painful, i nearly passed out. Severe cramping lasted for 2-3 days, I was not able to stand up straight due to pain. After that, I cramped for about a week and a half. Spotted for the first few months, but it was tolerable. Periods had all but completely stopped after 6months. Around 9 months iIstarted to see an increase in acne. After 1.5 years the acne turned into severe rosacea and cystic acne. I didn't want to even leave the house - my skin was unbearably flaky and red. I was convinced it was the Mirena, though all doctors disagreed. I had it removed and a few days later the rosacea was almost completely gone."


"I've used it for 10 days now in my most recent attempt to kick meth. It helps so much. It won't buzz you, but it takes away the debilitating lethargy and depression."


"I'm 16 and I've been taking minocyline for about 1 month now. I have mild acne on my face (forehead mostly) and I haven't noticed a difference whatsoever, I am also getting severe acne all over my shoulders and chest and I never have gotten it there before. I also feel like I am burning up during the day. I would not recommend this if you do not have SEVERE acne, its just not worth it."


"Works great for sleep and controls mania well, but caused my depression to increase.  This was after being on the medication for several months (10mg/night).  Didn't particularly like the next-day hangover either.  I've recently been switched over to Lithium but it's too early to tell how it's working.  I took one Saphris tablet last night per doctor's request, after being off it for some time (as a sleep aid) but felt hung over and a bit depressed most of the day."


"After surgery I was pronounced cancer free but still put in Aromasin. I found the side effects difficult especially insomnia. My schedule is busy and this plus muscle/joint pain is hard. I went off for several months during a vacation and felt far better. I returned to taking it and almost immediately the side effects returned. I have very mixed feelings about continuing. My health insurance covers it so thankfully expense is not an issue. I will probably continue as statistically the drug has proved valuable."


"I am 5'2 and weigh 106. I have had 3 days of constipation, I thought it was the worst, so I took 3 pills with almost two liters of water at 2 pm. nothing happened that day. Just tons of urination. The worst cramping got to me at 2am. Cold sweats, feeling uneasy, vomiting and with a massive urge to poop. I admit it is my fault for taking so many pills while being my first time using laxatives. Spread the word!!! Only take one!!!!! It is 10am and I am still suffering from cold sweats and cramps. Lots of pain. I am exhausted of this diarrhea!! I hope everything is worth at the end"


"I am a 44 year old married man. We have four kids. Back in my 20's I had an extrememly high sex drive. It has dropped off quite a bit in my 40's. After a Vasectomy my erections were not what they had been. They also did not last as long. I went to the Doctor without telling my wife. I have been using Cialis for the last two months without her knowing. She has been asking me what has gotten into me. After about an hour of taking the 20mg pill, I am ready to go. The pill gives you that same feeling of HAVING to have sex that you had as a teen. My erections have been rock hard and long lasting. A  all the way. My wife is smiling!"


"I am on day 3 of this pill and I felt awful the whole time. I constantly feel like I'm going to throw up after I take it which makes it difficult for me to sleep. I already have some anxiety but this birth control is making it to where I can't sleep and once I do sleep I can't stay asleep. I just lay in bed feeling hot, nauseous, and like I'm going to die. My anxiety is just getting so bad I will probably stop taking this medication."


"I've been using Axiron for a year now and have mostly enjoyed the results.   My T level was 293 before starting Axiron & now is roughly 570 at quarterly
blood tests.  I've experienced the good results, alertness, happiness and
an overall feeling of well being.  I also take 125 mcg of Thyroid med every
morning for hypothyroidism, my Cholestorol is 118, down from 400.  I have no complaints about Axiron except what has happened to my testicles.  They were big, and hung down nicely.  I noticed after about 5 months on Axiron that they weren't hanging down as normal, but I chalked that up to age, more than using Axiron for my TRT.....  after paying closer attention, I now have testicles that are about 60% of their pre-Axiron size.  "


"Update: I went to my Dr. on Monday morning I was down 8 lbs. woohoo, and my Dr. said I was doing great! By the time my husband and I hit Hawaii I should be down 50 lbs! Now that is exciting! I'm losing about 2 - 2.5 lbs. a week. This is good, very good. I already notice a difference in me even if no one else can. Very excited!"


"I took Lyrica for about 2 years and loved it. It helped my pain so much. I suffer with back pain and leg pain. I went from Topamax to Lyrica and it was a big difference. I gained weight about 20lbs, but my problem was my insurance would not cover this medicine and it doesn't have a generic. So I was having to pay almost $360.00/month for 60 pills. Couldn't afford it so I've had to go back to Topamax. Now I've lost almost 30 pounds and don't like it as much as Lyrica and it has more side effects. So stay with Lyrica if you can - it's a great medicine."


"I went on Aubra to 1. Avoid any accidents with my partner and 2. Try and clear up my acne. I'd been to dermatologists who prescribed topical creams and oral antibiotics, but nothing helped clear my face. I had it the worst on my chin and forehead, and thought to maybe give BC a try. But after sticking this out for a month I had to stop. I had terrible headaches, dizziness, and was moodier and found myself crying at the slightest things that normally wouldn't have upset me. And, although I took it to clear up my skin, it actually made my skin worse. I had so many more breakouts on my chin than before. So maybe this wasn't the right BC for me, but I am also now nervous to give any other BCs a try."


"It's has been a miracle. My son is 7 and on 1 mg for 8 weeks. He has PDD and ADHD.His impulsiveness and odd behavior last year was so bad that they took him out of the classroom and put him full time in autistic support room. They pulled all academics from him and were just trying to finish the year without him hurting any other kids. It was bad. I was looking at outpatient facilities for him in case we barely made it through the year. In summer we tried many medicines, all not effective. Last one was Intuniv. He was so tired for 3 weeks. Week 4 was when the miracle happened. His anger was gone, impulsiveness less. School started and things were great. He is back to the classroom. Has had no incidences of aggression. It has saved him."


"From September-December 2014 I was having unprotected sex with my partner. In January 2015 I got the implant. I bleed for weeks at a time or just on and off. After about 7 months everything had calmed down. I go about 3-5 months without a period. If I even get a period I spot for a few days like I'm currently doing but sometimes it's heavier for a few days then some spotting. I personally love this birth control I just had how much more easily agitated I am and the mood swings that come with it. They tell you to give it about 6 months for your body to try to get used to it before you decide if it's for you or not. The implant is the ONLY precaution my partner and I take since January 2015- up until present(6-28-2016) still no baby"


"PLEASE DON'T USE THIS!!! I'm 18 and went and bought this today I followed instructions correctly....within 3 minutes of inserting it my hoo-ha was hurting so bad. I tried to endure the pain cause I thought that meant it was killing the yeast infection. It got worse and worse to the point where I was wanting to scream. I ran to the shower to try to wash it out nothing helped. I took some Midol hoping it will relieve the pain and I'm just laying here praying it'll stop I'm in tears right now. I wish I would have seen this sooner. Calling my doctor as soon as they open in the morning please don't put yourself through this much pain."


"Before Climara, my menopause symptoms were out of control, hot flashes and feeling moody. Climara changed my life and helped me enjoy it again without the hot flashes and weird symptoms that menopause was bringing on. Bye bye menopause."


"I have R/R MS, and after having more than 2 relapses in 1 year, I was put on Copaxone. 3.5 years on I realise that this drug really suits me.  The only problem with this medication is my poor memory, at least once per month I totally forget to administer my injection. This causes no exacerbations, and I feel so good on it. I had suffered for quite a few years before using this preparation, and it seems like a God send."


"I didn't get acne until I was 18 and did every diet, cleanser, spot treatment out there for about 6 years. I ended up SO depressed with horrible hormonal acne on my chin/chest and was losing the battle. I was always against accutane because the horrible side effects associated with it. My chest cleared up by the first month. The results are AMAZING and I finally feel like I'm thriving rather than hiding behind thick coats of makeup and high cut shirts. So, its a really complicated process to even start the whole accutane journey. You have to get your blood drawn once a month and women HAVE to be on birth control. Its very expensive and your skin will completely dry out but worth it. Drink lots of water, eat healthy & aquaphor. WORTH IT!!!"


"I'd been using Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 6 years, but today I switched to a generic brand. I can only say negative about this - migraines, weight gain and tiredness. Not to mention the price. My insurance did not cover it so it cost about $50 a month. Hopefully my new pills will work out better for me."


"Feeling hyperactive like I can't walk fast enough, having to wait on a thought to process, always wanting sweet, salt and crunchy food.  Med after 7p keeps me awake at least 4 hr although I feel tired. Only been on for 1 month for new sarcoidosis   Breathing much better!  Chest tightness better! Energy level better !"


"One. Just started for the first time yesterday my first day and woke up this morning feeling nauseous and major headache !!!!! I hope it goes away because this ain't cool :(("


"I've been on Trintellix (that's what it's called in Canada) for about two months now and I can honestly say it has changed my life, for the better.  The first few weeks I did have a bit of nausea but it was all well worth it.  I find that I cannot drink as much as I used to as it will result in a pretty bad hangover, but no biggie for me.  I am less irritable, less tired and I have not felt any anxiety whatsoever in about a month!  I feel hopeful again, thanks to Trintellix."


"I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and have been taking this medicine for about 7 years now.  It gave me my life back.  I used to be so tired  that I couldn't get out of bed or participate in life.  The only problem is I have grown tolerant to it, and am at the maximum dosage, so I don't get as much energy from it as I used to.  But I couldn't function or live without it."


"I haves struggled with acne since high school. I admit, it wasn't as severe as other cases. I occasionally had cysts, which I would cover with bandaids because I was too embarrassed. Over the years, my skin has been more clear but it's never really gone away. I'm currently in my sixth month of accutane. I think at this point, I was expecting more of a drastic change but haven't noticed a huge difference... yet. It's starting to kick in now though. The only side effects I have encountered are the dry lips, and the sweaty upper lip and eyebrows. The hardest part was the short time frame between lab work and getting the pills. More expensive than we anticipated, just in trying to order it. Stressful, but overall, better results than before."


"Everything is worse so much worse this medicine has intensified everything and I have a ton of side effects"


"This medication has been a God send for me.  After PT and a year of Aleve my shoulder was somewhat better but not great.  For a different issue my physician told me to stop the Aleve and try Diclofanac Sodium.  My body is very happy.  No back, neck, ankle, toe, shoulder pain.  My shoulder range of motion is almost 100%. For me, Diclofenac Sodium DR 50mg has been wonderful."


"I got it in Jan 2008. No period for 3 months, then I bled for 2 months straight. After that, 2 periods a months for about 5 days each....EXHAUSTING! Tired, sad, depressed, no sex drive, weight gain, anger, aggressiveness, sweet tooth, but the worst - THE HORRIBLE mood swings! The best thing about it, it didn't hurt when it went in, minimal tenderness after insertion, and I did not get pregnant! I seriously feel like I am going through the change of life at 28 years. I am having it removed in days. No clue as to prevent future birth control, but NO MORE HORMONES! Probably wont be an issue, hubby hates the new evil me!"


"I've had the nexplanon for over 2 years now. The whole time I never really had a period, light spotting here and there.  Now it's close time to get removed and out of no where I have a full blown cycle, HEAVY."


"I have been on Victoza 1.8 for many years.  Until recent blood work showed everything screwed up.  When I went to my GP he told me the medication is basically killing me.  Its making me lethargic, slowing down my metabolism, I am gaining weight and my body chemistry is dysfunctional.

He ordered me to stop Victoza, its been a few days, I am still blah.  Time will tell."


"So 2 months ago I was diagnosed with PCOS. Which my doctor notices feom my ultrasound of my ovaries that I've NEVER ovulated. Since then I've had an HSG text, been on Metformin and am now to my limit of 2,000 mgs, Clomid, and was on Prometrium (progesterone) this last month. This last month my doctor also put me on a pill again to get my period. My periods have always been irregular. This morning 6/23/15 I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. My husband and I are hoping for the best next month."


"After  being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, the very painful debilitating type less than one year ago I called a rheumatologist. She told me I had every indication of rheumatoid arthritis  but I had to tell her one more thing I was HIV-positive. Now most of these medications immediately stated not to take it have an infection. Well what is a person to do I have HIV and that's an infection.  She gave me time to hash it out and I thought OK I'm going to try it. Of course it's premeasured syringes refrigerated this is how mine was prepared for me. I  injected around the navel  Area of abdomen. No real pain and no sensitivity occurred. After being on it for six weeks I went for my laboratory results and my doctor called me early on a   Saturday morning and stop medication that has caused neutropenia, look it up very serious had to stop it. Now she wants me on it every other week since my blood work has come back normal again But very conflicted as to whether I should or not. Is there anyone else out there with the same condition I have I would love to hear from you thank you hope this helps."


"So I started this BC due to painful periods/irregular periods. I had tried a combo pill called low low estrogen and it just gave me terrible side effects. Jolivette seriously helped me out. I rarely get periods, unless I'm super stressed out, no mood swings and no pregnancy (though that didn't become a concern until last year). I've been taking it for four years now and would highly recommend this. Saved me a lot of hospital visits and made my life easier."


"I have had pitting edema, severe water retention all over my body mainly my face, hands, ankles, feet and lower legs.  I to have felt the side effects of the side aches and leg discomfort. BUt have come to find out I also suffered from RLS ( restless leg syndrome). I do suffer from very minor headaches. But when one day you are swollen as a balloon and about 2 to 3 days later your are unswollen.  I first started out on 10 mg as needed, then had to go up to 20mg when required, then daily. Then eventually kept raising it by 20 after that to 40mg daily. Then I ended up having to take 2 x 40 mg daily, 2 x a day.  I also have insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome so that may have something to do with it. I'm now at 80mg daily."


"This pill has been a godsend for me. I am 42 and have a six year old and 3 year old and have had hormonal issues since having them both: extremely heavy periods, horrible cramps, menstrual migraines, severe bloating and breast tenderness, heavy mid cycle spotting, and cyclical insomnia. After one pack of these pills, I am sold. Lighter period, no cramps. No nausea, spotting, moodiness, and I am finally sleeping better. These have been the best pills I have taken during my reproductive years so far. I hope this helps some patients, as many of these reviews can be negative."


"From the start I began to experience side effects. The most bothersome are the extreme sweating episodes followed by chills at least 12 times a day or more. In addition other side effects are more pain in my lower back and hips as well as a rash with associated itch on my upper back.  I will never get another Prolia shot!!! Wish I knew there would be so much discomfort!"


"I've had a very good experience with this form of birth control. No bleeding at all, no side effects, not an issues what so ever. I've been takin it for about 9 months now and feeling fine"


"Had trouble sleeping."


"I am a 61 yr old, 5'3" female that started the 2 week trial on April 15, 2014 at 237 pounds. If I had any initial side effects I don't recall them, so I must have had none or they were too mild to even mention. I don't have any side effects now which is a little over 3 months since I started.  I lost 10 pounds during the 2 week (free) trial so I was impressed and definitely ready to continue! I got a $75/month card (credit) from the pill company so that was a plus. I still have to pay $163/mth. My insurance does not cover it. They would rather pay for my cholesterol and blood pressure meds. So as of today, July 18, 2014, I have gone from 237 to 210lbs. Not too bad with 27 pounds gone with no side effects and no exercise. Loving the results!"


"Honestly I was freaked out because I read reviews like these before I went to my appointment which was yesterday, 6-29-16. So I took 3 Advil about an hour before my appointment. When I got there I was scared but the doctor assured me it wasn't that bad etc. Honestly when I read that people cried and such during the insertion I think they are just crazy. I did feel pressure but I didn't even flinch. There was no pain. My doctor couldn't get over the fact that I didn't seem to even notice she was there. I drove myself there and back and literally never even knew there was a difference. I had some very light cramping later that night and a light headache the next day and I have seemed to lost my appetite but that's it. I am happy about it!"


"I am highly alllergic to internal intake of NSAIDS.  The gel has been tried as an alternative.  I have had bilateral knee replacements and suffer from RSD.  I thought the gel was helping the knees.  However, when I was off of my narcotic protocol for
a period of two weeks, I discovered that Voltaren did not work.  I was sad that it did not work because I am seeking a good alternative to narcotics."


"this medication is amazing and has changed my life for the better! However like most SSRI's it does neg impact sex drive etc and it did lead to weight gain"


"Switched to Uroxatral after being on Flomax for a couple months.  While Flomax addressed Benign Prostate Hyperplasia issues very well, it had horrendous effect on my sexual function.  Could no longer ejaculate at all, and could no longer reach orgasm.  Within a few days of being on Uroxatral, those issues are gone and in some ways are better than before being on either medicine.  Uroxatral is handling the BPH issues just fine."


"I have been taking birth control for almost 2 years now and I have been changing my prescription very often. However, I have been on this pill since around August/September of 2016. My old pills helped with bloating, cramps, and flow and none of that changed when I started Junel fe. However for the past three months or so, I have had HORRIBLE mood swings, been feeling really depressed, I argue with my boyfriend and minutes later I don't even know what I got mad at (which is not like me at all.)  I talked to a friend and she said this pill also made her feel crazy. My cramps are only bad the first day which is usually the second/third day that I take my placebo pills. I will be switching prescriptions within the next few weeks."


"Prescribed 1 tablet 3 times a day (200mg tablets) for suspected abscess lower jaw. After just 4 tablets started having weird dreams, palpitations, nausea, severe headache, hot sweats, shivering, blood pressure reached 193/92 could not get out of bed felt so awful didn't take any more. Still recovering 2 days later"


"I definitely don't recommend this pill if you already have anxiety. It made my anxiety attacks much worse. Plus it gave me horrible acne, and I've never struggled with acne. Everyone reacts differently to BC, but just be aware when you decide to go with this one.."


"After having seizures back in December, doctor started me on lexapro for depress- made me sweat like crazy, light headed, uh, not function at work, then to zoloft, slightly better, still sweating intensely after first hour, seemed better than lexapro, stuck with it for 3 mos, no real change in depression; incredibly tired all day. Added Wellbutrin to mix, after 3 weeks couldn't be around any one, a total irritable ahole. Finally had enough, stopped wellbutrin and did extensive research about generics vs name brands. Despite FDA's approval many people report the generics are not nearly as effective. 3 days off fake wellbutrin, feel slightly better. getting of zoloft next. Perhaps brand names work, but i'll deal with my depression myself."


"helps me to sleep and a lot less head akes"


"It is a good  medicine. I often find that it helps me even more because I do not have to take it everyday."


"I love the results from this medicine.  I am not anxious and haven't cried or had a rage fit.  Sad to say, I am suffering major side effects such as throwing up, loss of appetite, can't swallow, sweats, can't sleep, shaking all over, teeth clenching on and on and on.  BUT it beats the hell out of anxiety, crying all the time and severe and sometimes violent mood swings."


"I am female and was 16 when I was prescribed Zoloft for my then undiagnosed bipolar disorder 2. Because I am bipolar I didn't find Zoloft helpful but one side effect I had was terrible nose bleeds. "


"For anxiety and  panic disorders, I have found this drug to be extremely useful. Prior to taking Clonazepam, I was under tremendous stress due to work, and was suffering 2 -3 panic attacks per day. Since starting on 3 x 1mg per day. I have not had a single major panic attack. Anxiety and stress just disappear! It has also proved useful, on occasion, to help with sleep. Initially, it did make me very drowsy, but this passed within 3-4 days. Thanks to this medication, I have my life back! Would  recommend to anyone with a similar diagnosis of generalized Anxiety and Panic disorders. The only downside is that I have experienced reluctance from Doctors to prescribe it (in the UK). I had to go private in order to get it."
