"I started taking Lyrica about 8 months ago. In about 3 days I had felt a significant change. It was working great for my Fibro, but I also have spinal arthritis. It did nothing for that or my sciatica. Finally I was bumped up to high dose, but do to other things in life I had to stop because of financial difficulties. I couldn't even afford copays. So I'm on gabapentin and it barely works. If I could, I would get back on Lyrica!
                             Thank you all for sharing your experiences!"


"Wellbutrin was without a doubt the most effect antidepressant I've ever taken. Unfortunately, a month and a half into treatment on 150mg XL/day I started getting cystic acne. It was terrible and I knew it had to be the Wellbutrin so I looked online and noticed other people complaining about getting Acne as well. It was terrible, it only made my depression worse because I had this big cystic lumps on my face. A month after tapering off and taking antibiotics prescribed by my dermatologist it finally went away but I went back to being depressed."


"I took Uloric for four months. It worked great for gout; however. I have experienced a rapid onset hypertension and increased heart rate (+ 35%). I had no such problems prior to Uloric. I'd rather have gout. Caveat Emptor."


"My restless legs symptoms were 90 cleared up immediately upon the first dosage. The relief comes quickly and I can take a second dose right away if symptoms persist."


"I was on Lyrica for 2 years. At first it was fabulous! But over time I needed to keep increasing the dosage to get the same result. The side effects were bad for me. In the two years I was on it I gained 60 lbs and my hair started falling out. I have since switched to Neurontin with no side effects and my hair is slowly coming back. Lyrica was a miracle for me for about 18 months but as they say all good things must come to an end."


"This drug would have gotten a lower score from me if it had not done the job so well of dilating the eye and thus stopping the severe pain I was experiencing from spasms of the iris.  However, I almost gave it a 1 because of the severe side effects I experienced: anxiety, panic, feelings of dread, severe disorientation, uncoordination, confusion, tremors.  I experienced these symptoms after only my third scheduled dose and have been taken off the drug by by opthamologist."


"Cannot sleep on Remeron"


"there was a period of time when i kept going to the emergency room for chest pains and shortness of breath. my heart and everything checked out perfect. i went to the doctor and described these episodes i was having and he prescribed ativan 2mg and i have never experienced the tightness of the chest as often once i discovered i was having panic attacks. it is very helpful and not too sedative, and it might not work for everyone, if possible try small rx or samples first."


"Lotrel has worked for me with a low dosage. The higher dosage caused side effects. Tried five different blood  pressure medicines before and they all had side effects such as swelling or leg cramps."


"I have been using Restasis drops for approx 5 years, but still suffer from severe dry eyes.  My doctor gave me a sample of Fresh Kote to try.  At first the stinging alarmed me, but within a few minutes my eyes felt refreshed.  These are the first drops that I've actually felt some relief.  I haven't had to purchase them yet, but they can't be any more expensive then Restasis drops."


"Diagnosed with Rosacea-I have taken this medicine for almost 60 days now 250 mg twice a day. It seemed to surface all blemishes small and papuls within 40 days and my face broke out horribly. It is now healing and I see the light. I must have had all that trapped underneath my skin for a long time, it was a cleansing of sorts. I am almost done with my prescription and I hope my skin will heal quickly. I am able to do another course of the medicines but will see how my skin heals for a few weeks first. I had no real side effects, urgency to urinate at times and I drank a lot of water and cranberry juice. Give it a shot, nothing else worked for me."


"I am new to opiate addiction but not new to this world.  After 3 years of prescribed oxy and oxycontin at 60 mg with a doctor who would not increase my dose due to my tolerance, i found a hook up that helped me increase my 60 mg to 210 mg a day habit. Needless to say, I was becoming broke.  At the beginning of July i had a friend check me into a  four t o five day clinic at my 26th hour of no oxis due to an effective DEA seizure I guess. I was hurting and delusional.  I asked the question of which one was easiest and Bunavail won!!  I think they are amazing!"in thev28th hour I received my first 4.2 patch- it is suppose to be  equivalent to an 80 mg oxi.. I have had no withdrawals minus that first day I put myself through hell."


"As the CEO of a prominent local non-profit, my biggest weakness was public speaking. After an embarrassing episode this year, I found this website and went for a visit to my physician.  He prescribed 20mg an hour before public speaking. I did a test run and found myself at lunch with colleagues where I was totally relaxed and enjoying the experience when before I would have been anxious and "stressed".

My next experience was a short presentation in front of 30-40 high level leaders. I was still somewhat anxious before the preso, which is okay, but once at the podium and talking I was at ease, relaxed,  and my mind clear. I did a great job and actually enjoyed it!

A life changer!"


"I have been taking Toprol XL for about 2 years. My doctor has now put me on 200mg twice a day, total 400mg a day, this had to be approve by my insurance company and it was. This is working for me, no side effects and my blood pressure is steady at 114/70."


"Just works without trying!"


"I got on this pill specifically from my doctor because I was still nursing. She insured me this is pill to get on so my milk supply would not dry up. WRONG. I took it for about 6 days -on the 6th day I started pumping and absolutely nothing came out. Just empty. I also started bleeding. Not heavy very light. I got off of it immediately."


"Maxalt has worked wonders for me. When I have migraines I never feel like swallowing tablets, so the fact that I have the dissolving tablet is an absolute bonus.
Before this medicine I was bedridden for days at a time, and after a migraine, my head always felt so heavy and like a bowling ball. Now however I am able to go to work the next day. I recommend it to every person I meet!"


"I've been on Kariva for about 2 months now, and just started my third pack a couple of days ago.  I'm very happy with this BCP, though it's the first one i've ever tried. Usually I get pretty bad cramps, especially on the second day of my period.  However, I've noticed that for the past couple months I only got mild cramps on the first day, and none on the second. Looks like I won't have to buy painkillers anymore!

My periods have been lasting 3-4 days and before it used to be definitely 4+.  I haven't experienced any noticeable weight gain.

I do get the occasional moodswings but other factors contribute to them as well."


"I was able to avoid most of the gastrointestinal side effects by taking my pill about an hour or two after eating. After week 1, my psoriasis seemed to get more ashy than red. The patches became very itchy, but I felt that the medication might be working. That was the furthest extent of any clearing for me. By week 2, I was feeling depressed with anxiety that I couldn't seem to shake. Around week 3, my anxiety was getting so overwhelming that I called my doctor to tell him that I couldn't take the medication anymore. If you still want try Otezla and your insurance doesn't cover it, you should be able to work through your doctor to potentially get 2-week supplies directly from the manufacturer while your doctor is submitting an appeal."


"Great results with the drug, had long period with no sex and after the pill 3 times on the first night with no disfunction. The only side effect was a cracking headache for about 4 hours the next day. Worth it though."


"I remember reading people's opinions, online, of the drug before I took it and it scared me away from it. Then I finally decided to give it a try and it has been the best choice I have made. I have been on it for over 4 months and I feel great. I'm on 100mg and I don't have any side effects. When I first started I did notice that my hands would tremble but then it subsided. So honestly, don't listen to all the negativity because what doesn't work for some works amazing for others. So go based on youself and not everyone else. It may be a blessing in diguise. The pill is not meant to make you be all happy go lucky and see "butterflies and roses", its meant to help put the chemicals in your mind in balance so you can just be who you are and not overly depressed. I still get sad some times, but that is normal, that is life, and it's up to people to take control to make a change. I did so by getting on this pill."


"crapped my pants on linzess smallest dose.  Doctors don't warn patients about fecal incontinence which is too bad.  Don't say you weren't warned!  Wear depends underwear if you take this drug."


"I had 3 surgeries within 3 months as a teen. This drug is what the pre-op physician gave me 1-2 minutes prior to wheeling me back into surgery.  It is supposed to calm nerves but it had the opposite effect for me.  I was very nervous about the surgery so I was given syringe of it in my hand 1-2 minutes prior to them wheeling me back.  It caused instant anxiety and impending feelings of doom. I was hyperventilating/blubbering/crying/freaking out as they put me to sleep. My surgeon was in tears and was petting my head to calm me. I ask for no IV pre-sedatives now."


"I have a colonoscopy tomorrow.  This is by far the worst tasting prep I have ever used.  I started at 5pm.  It started working while I was on my 2nd 16 oz. of water. I have to take another dose at midnight. I’m not happy about that.  I just hope I can get it down.  I felt extremely nauseous.  Not sure how long I will be in here.  I’m hoping to get some sleep before my midnight dose"


"It worked for awhile but didn't kill the bronchitis because it came back - I also got a yeast infection right after taking it."


"I'm a 25 year old woman and I was prescribed cipro for a UTI. I got 250mg twice daily for three days. I got this yesterday and today I've taken three pills in total. I have a horrid fear of vomiting, I become suicidal when I think I'm going to be sick. So I'm very particular and paranoid about my antibiotics. I usually respond well to antibiotics but not this! I didn't vomit, thank goodness but three pills in and I'm lightheaded, light sensitive, bloated like no other, abdominal pain and kinda nauseous, itchy and muscle pain. Not to mention my anxiety is sky high! I'm writing this before my current panic attack makes me unable to write.  Hope these side effects leave and don't stay! Very paranoid!"


"I've been on Straterra for about two months and am up to 40mgs, with the exception of dry mouth and some manageable stomach aches, the medication seems to work pretty well--and subtly too.

I am a very young 48 and I was diagnosed as "hyperactive" in 1972. I was on Ritalin at a very young age.

While it's NOT a cure, it works much better than stimulant medications as an adult--I read better and seem to not interrupt as much. Coffee effects me quite a bit and if I keep it down that helps too. I was worried about all of the reviews of sexual side effects--I seem to be up and running, this worried me a lot. Once again, I'm not saying Staterra this is a cure all, but my experience seems to be very different than many reviews I have read"


"Best I ever had!"


"I've been on Adipex for 6 days now and have lost 12 pounds.  I'm really happy about that but I've had constant diarrhea every day since then and have become very dehydrated.  Be cautious of the side effects."


"This medication worked very well to ease my ankle pain.  However, it left me feeling a little forgetful after taking it for a few days.  It also made me very drowsy.  But I was not in the severe pain that I had been.  The most negative reaction was when I stopped taking the medication.  The following day I felt nauseous, shaky, dizzy, and had the cold sweats.  The withdrawal symptoms were very unpleasant."


"50 years old, 1st colonoscopy.  I scheduled an 8 am exam.
I suggestion you have a 11 am exam.
You take the 1st packets of A & B for MoviPrep (MP) around 6 pm that night.
I suggest you drink about 12 to 16 ounces of water prior to drinking the MP, otherwise it makes you dizzy. Things will start happening between an half to 2 hours later.  I probably had 30 flushes of the toilet before I got to bed around 10:30 pm.   Had to wake up at 2:30 am for the 2nd batch.  Repeated above, but this time I drank it all in about 30 minutes with another 16 ounces of water just prior.  Your BM's will be all liquid, at least 40 flushes before I was finished.  The urine was bright yellow, like you took a B vitamin. Good stuff!"


"My husband and I went through a very rough patch after having kids and I suffered terrible post partum depression. He ended up leaving me for somebody else at the time and I was put on Trazodone because I was not able to shut my brain off at night and wasn't getting any sleep. I was prescribed a whole 100mg tab but only took a 1/4 tab before bed and it was enough to shut my mind off and take away those depressing thoughts. I haven't had to take it for almost a year now but it helped bring that old me back."


"I was prescribed this to take in addition to my Metformin to help get my high Insulin levels under control and to assist with weight loss( in conjunction with intermittent fasting and a mediterranean low carb diet) Since September 2016 I have lost 35 lbs with no additional exercise. I take the Bydureon on a Sunday night and then due to the decreased appetite I fast on Mondays until dinner and then skip breakfast all other days and just eat 2 meals a day which consists of a low carb mediterranean diet. The bydureon has a slight burning sensation during injection but after that no symptoms at all. I use an ice pack on the injection sight for 15mins post injection to prevent knots/lumps and this has worked well for me. Blood tests show improvements"


"Can not stand this b.c. I've had for over a year now, and at first I had no bleeding, no weight gain, now I'm gaining weight like crazy, and have been on period for around 2 months, and unlike most people it's a full blown period, with cramps! It seems that everytime I actually can have sex, we do it once and the bleeding starts again. Can't wait to get it taken out!"


"Have been on this medicine for over 10 years, it does control my BP rather well, but have been looking for other alternatives recently. My main problem is the shortness of breath especially if I do any type of cardio. I started running last year, and immediately noticed that I can't run for long periods, and am stuck doing intervals of jogging / walking.  Next is Rhinitis always hacking out clear phlegm, and my last complaint is the edema (swelling in the ankles/feet). "


"Good birth control but I gained about 10-15 lbs in two months from it, with regular exercise, etc. Very little acne, better than the Trinessa and Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo I was on. Extremely light periods."


"58 yrs old, Good shape. This product is amazing. "


"Does not work fast enough one hour layer still in pain!!!!?"


"I've only been on it for two months but so far I love it! My period lasts 1-2 days and its super light! It does make me feel a little nauseous every now and then but nothing too bad. Other then that its perfect! I still feel like myself and my skin is super clear, I highly recommend this birth control, its awesome!"


"I have used relistor 3 times. Overall I think it's working. But I wanted to note here that as most of us have been using alternatives, including strong stimulant laxatives, for this issue prior to trying relistor, and have become dependent on them. So although I've had success with this medication,I thought it worth mentioning that I will need to work on becoming free of laxative use for best results. For those of you that are experiencing this, I highly recommend doing some online reading about laxative dependency and using some of those techniques along with relistor. Good luck!"


"So I'm on night two of the treatment.. Some ladies experience the burning itching because their infection is severe and there is lots of irritation..I haven't gotten that and although it's still there my symptoms have gotten better no doubt.. Hopefully it gets better by tomorrow.."


"I was not warned by my doctor in advance that Abilify can lower your BP. I fainted regularly and could not drive for about 1 week, until they got me off of it again. It seemed to help with my mood, but unfortunately, I couldn't live with the side effect of passing out all the time!"


"Levaquin and sunlight do not mix. Cover up if you are outside while taking it. Otherwise you will burn and burn quickly. But the stuff works."


"I lost a baby and they gave me these to expell the pregnancy I was hurt but than to find out I had to pay out of pocket made me feel worse like even though there was no heart beat at 12 weeks and only measuring 6 it really hurt to think I was paying 13 .00 to loose my child it made me contract about 30 min after taking the fist set I was in pain just like having one of my other children just at the end of this I wouldnt have a baby . I lost more blood than I ever seen in my life and bleed for a month after my peorids that was ALWAYS regular are every where after 10 months so ....if you get this expect labor"


"I LOVE THIS. IT HAS HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO PEOPLE everywhere. Remember everyone is different so it may not help some and it may help some but as for me it does work."


"Suffering from cramping, diarrhea, and spasms for over a month and within 10 mins of taking the 10mg pill I feel much better. I can actually walk around and not worry about having to be near the bathroom 24/7. Has not completely stopped spasms but has helped tremendously. The cramps have stopped! I would recommend anyone trying this out for irritable bowel syndrome/inflammatory bowel disease cramping relief. Female, IBD, 25yrs old."


"Itching, runny nose, but worse of all, weight gain, I might add I exercise 3-4 times per week, Low Impact High Intensity, I am a Pescatarian, I eat a healthy, well balanced meal and don't eat dairy and few carbs, how can one medicine cause nearly 21 lbs in weight gain so quickly, every effort to lose weight, nothing worked, I even did the 5:2 diet for three months and lost, not one inch!!!! Unbelievable! So I changed to Ramipril, apparently all ARB's cause weight gain, except 'Micardis' which can actually reduce weight, but! has been found to increase the risk of Lung cancer (Moderately) which is quite concerning, such a shame as I would have swapped onto that."


"After surgery, I was given Dilaudid IV. I had never taken this pain medication before and it was the worst experience in the recovery room. It did not stop my pain and I had several severe side effects from it. I was in recovery for 7 hours until we demanded a different pain medication to manage my pain. I'm glad for everyone this medication does help, but for those out there like me, whom it does not work on, take my advise; If you start to have side effects and the pain is not going away, you need to switch to another pain alternative that works with your system. What should have been a 2 hour recovery lasted way too long. "


"Fantastic would be suffering with out! I take co-codamol 30/500 for tooth ache  that I'm getting work on and having to wait a while for referral to go through. But this really does make the pain vanish in about 10 minutes! Only down side is it can make you feel very drowsy and very slight stomach ache but I take to help me sleep as that's when the pain is at it's worst and it does help you sleep. Also causes constipation and the pain free moments only last a few hours."


"For this is the reason I most commonly check out medication on this site, I will refer to the time it took for bupropion to work:

To my surprise it took exactly 18 days. The thing I found quite striking is that on the eighteenth day it started having a huge effect within just a few hours in the morning. There after it kept working till today.

Cause side effects are a huge deal in antidepressive medication I should add:

For me it was quite easy to deal with them. I had headache once in a while, but could treat it with aspirin and I did not sleep so well for a few days. Dry mouth is what stayed the longest but that seems pretty accetable compared with depression."


"Feel very uncomfortable, shaking, feels like pulses/shocks through my body, doesn't help what my #worthlessDoctor said it would."


"Horrible!!!!! I got my implanon taken out and decided to switch to the pill. Biggest mistake ever! I feel extremely tired all the time. I haven't had problem with acne in years and now all of a sudden my face has been breaking out! I'm extremely moody. I don't like the way it makes me feel at all. I've only been on it for about 2 weeks and will be stopping it asap!!"


"I've been bi-polar since I've been 19 and am now 58.

I've been taking lamictal 50mg daily for at least 20 years. I also was taking Wellbutrin 200mg daily for the depression which I just went off (tapered gradually over 6months) for the first time in 20 years. I am very stable and this I attribute to the lamictal. It's been a real life saver for me. I've been out of the hospital for 30 years. I am a successful nurse. I'm married and have 2 beautiful children who are now married. It's not easy. I never thought life would be normal back in my early diagnosis days. Don't give up. Take the meds but always tweak them with the doc if they don't feel right for you. Keep busy and find something do with with your life that gives you value. :)"


"I have constant pain in my neck, scalp, left thumb. Tegretol helped but compromised my bone marrow. Be sure to have to have CBC blood work regularly."


"I have been taking Tenuate for about 3 weeks now and I have lost 10 lbs so far. That was without watching my diet too much and little to no exercise. I asked the doctor to put me on something to help because I might have to have back surgery. I can't do a lot of cardio aside from walking. He put me on this and I've been feeling so much better. I sleep great, no side effects aside from dry mouth and I do get dizzy quite a bit. Definitely makes me not want to eat. In fact if I go to eat something an hour or so after taking it I feel like I'll get sick if I keep eating. I know it trigger's nerve's in your brain so everyone's reaction will be a little bit different. I don't feel like I'm over energized or "spacey". 20 lbs to go!"


"Imiquimod is amazing! I found out I had HPV last week and I had one small wart plus some textured ares where it seemed as if more were forming. I was prescribed Imiquimod and one week later all of the texture is gone, the area is smooth and the one raised small wart is pretty much gone! I had no side effects other than a little sensitivity and "rawness" on the site of application but totally worth it. However, I have been taking very good care of myself: eating well, and getting sufficient rest so I can boost my immune system to help fight the outbreak. It's nice to feel back to "normal"."


"I started off taking a birth control IUD called Liletta. It seemed like the perfect option for my family and I at the time. Unfortunately it didn't agree with my body and expelled twice. Tubal ligation and birth control pills just weren't options at the time so my husband and I decided to try nexplanon. It works amazing! I'm been  on nexplanon for 8 months now and I couldn't be happier with our choice. I did experience some aggressive behavior and change in mood because of the added hormones after a few months of having it implanted but it subsided in about two weeks. I would definitely recommend!"


"I've had Nexplanon going on 2 years and have had no issues. I have not had a period since it was put in.  Only side effect I have had is my headaches have become stronger than when I didn't have it in.  I would recommend this to everyone and plan on having another put in after the 3 years is up."


"Lexapro helped me a lot with CONSTANT anxiety. I had already tried Zoloft and Paxil, but Lexapro helped more than both combined. I still have a little anxiety, but this medicine has made my life bearable."


"I am a physician who has struggled with anxiety my whole life.  I have previously tried selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), benzodiazepines, as well as meditation, exercise, healthy eating, and CBT.  All the non-drug options were helpful but not sufficient. SSRIs were not very effective in my case and I had various side effects.  Benzodiazepines worked brilliantly and helped me through some stressful months of training but led to pharmacological tolerance and dependence.  After many years of struggling with no medications I decided to try buspirone but I was very skeptical it would work because most of my colleagues stated it was a rather ineffectual drug.  I have to say they are absolutely wrong.  I feel calmer, more in control than I have been for a long time."


"After a year of cortisone shots doc recommended the euflexxa shots 3 over 3 wks it been 4 weeks since the shots and I'm still waiting for some relief. My doc told me it could take 2 to 3 weeks to see the difference. Now I been reading some people said they felt better after 6 wks so will wait and see
I have a small tear in my mcl I might have to have fix maybe to feel the difference.I would appreciate any feedback."


"Ambien is absolutely great, a miracle. Calms the mind. I suffer from severe anxiety, sometimes panic attacks. I'll take them during the day and the panic and anxiety just melts away. Fantastic for many psychological disorders but best for sleeping. Take on an empty stomach or you wont get the full effect."


"I have been taking the 8mg suboxene strip for a while now. My insurance doesnt cover suboxene so my doctor wrote a script to try Bunavail since it would be free with a voucher.Yesterday was my first day on it and i already like it WAY more than subs.

Postive things about Bunavail: it doesn't have that nasty sub taste. It doesnt give you that feeling that your ok for part of the day then need to keep taking more. With subs i would have to keep taking pieces just 2 get through the day With the Bunavail i took 1 patch to the cheek whixh is 4mg and i havent felt this normal in years! I actually feel great! I can go through the day With no urges. Negative is that it takes FOREVER to dissolve on your cheek. FINALLY feel like im not taking a drug"


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after suffering from pains in various parts of my body, exhaustion, and overall lack of interest in most everything.  I've now been on Savella 50 me 2 X day for about two months.  My results are astounding.  Significant reduction in pain, no more feeling exhausted, more active, and weight loss which I needed anyway.  I do have episodes of mania though.  There are times it seems like I can't stop talking.  I have experienced no negative side effects and truly feel like after about 8 years I've finally gained my life back.  I know this is just my story, but I hope others can get the same positive results from this medicine."


"I have ADD. It helped me study, stay focused. All I know is that I did study more efficiently."


"Been taking this for over 2 years now for extreme basilar artery migraines. started at 75mg. recently was upped to 125mg. If I miss a dose boy can I tell. This med works."


"I got this shot during a doctor visit.  Unsure if dose was the .75 mg but the 3 samples he gave me were of the 1.5 mg dose.  Side effects began following day: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, indigestion and severe acid reflux. I also had body aches and fatigue. I dare say I felt depressed. I had just gotten over the stomach flu 3 weeks before and it felt like I had come down with it again! Trulicity did lower my glucose levels as did my weight (3 lbs. that week) Of course it did! I could not eat and what ever little food I ate, it came out in minutes!  I DID NOT and WILL NOT inject myself with this again  I'm sorry I agreed on the shot.  One of the worst weeks of my life!"


"I was on depo for 5 and a half years (16-21), it worked wonders for me. I had awful periods before the shot. After the first shot, I had a light period for about 3 weeks but no period or spotting ever after that. I did not gain weight, I actually lost weight. It does make you hungry ALL the time for the first few months but I was wise about my snack choices with I believe helped alot. This was the only form of B.C. me and my boyfriend used for the entire time and no babies. It does take some getting used to not having a period to confirm you aren't pregnant at first. When we decided to have a baby, it took 8 months to get pregnant. I didn't have any serious issues and loved it."


"I used them and within 6 hours my eyes swelled almost shut, and cheeks puffed up. 2 weeks later I still have red watery eyes, but thankfully the swelling is finally gone. I will never use this product again (obviously), but it is also incredibly expensive. I have never had an allergic reaction to any medication before so this was very unexpected."


"I started the medication on 1/8/2016 as directed weighed myself this morning with the scale down scale and it said that I lost 21 pounds in less than 2 weeks"


"My pain was so severe I was literally going insane and no matter how often I expressed to my pain management doctor that the lortab he was prescribing was ineffective he would not listen. If I hadn't found a Methadone clinic for help I really do not believe I would be alive today.  My quality of life has improved so much and I am beyond Thankful."


Dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / phenylephrine

"This medicine works great. I had mild diarreah as a side effect, but my annoying mucus cough was relieved."


"So me and my GF had sex  and the condom ended up breaking. So 20 hours later I bought her a Plan B. I suggest eating a good big meal while taking it. She didn't really have any symptoms after she took it except her stomach started hurting. Her period wasn't due for another 2 weeks. It ended up coming a week early. Brown/dark red blood for a few days then cherry red blood. Just be prepared and responsible. Take care of your girl while she's on it make her feel loved and important. Understand and really listen to how she feels. Just pray and everything will be alright thank you God!!"


"I have been taking Micronor for almost a month now. I used to take Yaz for 2 years but had to stop due to migraines. I've honestly had 0 problems with Micronor, much to my surprise after reading so many negative reviews. I do not have spotting, weight gain, etc. It doesn't help my acne, but I don't think it's making it worse. I think people may be having issues with spotting and heavy bleeding because they are not taking the pill at the exact same time every day. I take it at exactly 6 and have had no problems!"


"Have had major life changes the last two years and been depressed and weepy most days. Doctor prescribed Cymbalta 30 mg. On day 3. My head feels foggy and am tired all the time. I keep waking up at night but fall back to sleep.  "


"I take Ambien when I need to change my sleeping habits, or when my anxiety induces insomnia. I've had no side effects bad enough for me to remember, although I do get amnesia. I do my best to get right to sleep after taking it because I will do strange things while awake. Otherwise Ambien works perfectly for my needs."


"There is a recall in this pill do not take it. This pill personally gave me heavy bleeding and severe headache"


"Gildess is my first ever birth control pills.

Pro: didn't get pregnant

Cons:

1. I've been getting my period every 1.5-2 weeks! And when I'm not on my period I get bad yeast infections, regardless of me taking probiotics to prevent that from happening.  I have no sex life because of that (how ironic). I've been very emotional to the point of not recognizing my own behavior.  My skin became very sensitive, I'm always getting rashes and irritations.

It's been 2 months, I'm waiting one more miserable month and then will try to switch."


"Truly exceptional pill! I've been on it for almost a year. At first I had a little breakthrough bleeding, buts that's the only adverse side effect I've encountered. My boobs went from an A to a C, I have no cramping, really light periods that last 2-3 days, and I've had no weight gain. Would recommend to anyone!"


"I was so scared of the insertion part but it wasn't as bad as I'd expected. It felt like a small contraction. But honestly not bad for me. I had a bit of cramps an hour later but right after the insertion they gave me middle for cramps. The following day I had a bit of cramps and that was it. However, I did get my period twice that month and the following month as well but with no cramps.  I'm on my 4th month now and no more bleeding like before. I honestly am so happy I got this iud. The only downside for me is that this one is only for 3 years. But I'll definitely go with this one again. Everyone's body is different so you may have a good experience with it as I am. Don't let other reviews scare you like it did to me."


"Sat up in bed at 5 in the morning.  I've taken 3 of my recommended dose. When I  swallow them it feels like they are the size of a pineapple can somebody please tell me when the antibiotics will start working. I've had two 10lb babies but nothing compares to this gum pain"


"I had oral surgery and was prescribed Demerol which made me feel sick not to mention I could still feel the pain somewhat. I.called the doctor who then prescribed Percocet 10/325. Not only did it knock out the pain completely but the side effects were practically non existent. Just a little sweating and and kind of a warm feeling but I could function like normally. I didn't feel out of it like the Demerol made me feel. All I can say is it worked perfectly for me."


"I had severe acne when I was in my early teens, I tried different types of antibiotics, retin A, duac and more before finally trying Accutane. I started taking it at 15 years old and was on 40 mg for seven months . It was a MIRACLE. My skin was 100% clear after one month and after seven months scarring was gone too. My skin stayed PERFECT for five years! Around 6 months ago acne started coming back though nothing like what it was before. I am now on my second day of 10mg of accutane since I have very very mild acne. I am so used to perfect skin that even the tiniest pimple can really upset me. Either way accutane changed my life. Highly recommend!!!!!"


"Bydurean is working for me, albeit with a few side effects.  The injection site lumps are an irritation that goes away after 6-9 weeks, only to be replaced by others.  I hate the thick needle, but hate even more when the needle gets stuck and won't inject some weeks, and I need to re-inject.   I get nausea when my sugar levels drop quickly, and especially go below 5.6 mmol/l , which happens after exercise.  I have found this a good excuse for a beer with team mates, and have to have glocose/sweets available a period 1-2 hours after strenuous exercise (surfing especially).

My weight has dropped steadily about 1kg/month without a change of diet, but I am just inclined to eat less.  I have reduced insulin levels 50%, and don't use after sport."


"I took this for depression and chronic back pain. This was an extreme appetite suppressant for me.  It worked somewhat for depression, but nothing fabulous.  It mostly made me very, very sleepy and physically exhausted."


"Only thing that works! I have MSK and vertigo and BOTH cause nausea with flare ups and this is my life saver!"


"My 5 year old daughter has been on 10 mg of Strattera daily for 3 days.  Her first dose was opened and in a prune and Apple sauce mixture....tummy ache in 30 minutes.  The second and third dose were in the capsule and a table spoon of chocolate pudding....she swallowed it and had no tummy pain....we are pleased, so far, and we got a good report from her teacher, today.  I had her say the alphabet tonight and she was more focused and did not mispronounce a single letter.  I am a FNP and WHNP so I have treated a lot of ADHD kids.  Our daughter's Psychiatrist suggested Strattera due to her new diagnosis and young age.  So far she is eating well and fast asleep, beside me.  I hope this continues to be a positive experience."


"I rarely have trouble falling asleep so that's not why I use it.  I use it to stay asleep if I wake up in the middle of the night for whatever reason.  There are times when I wake up 2-3 hours before I want to and my brain shifts into overdrive and I can't get back to sleep, or if I do, it takes me about an hour.  This medication eliminates that.  I only use it if I've had a few nights in a row like that. Then I get caught up and wake up rested.  I would never feel comfortable about using it nightly.  Thankfully I don't need to.  0.5mg is all it takes for me. I'm 5'3" about 130 give or take 5lbs. A bottle of 30 lasts me several weeks or a few months."


"I was diagnosed with Chronic Insomnia about 5 months ago. Doctor prescribed Ambien. It works wonders. I discovered that for me, once I take it, I cannot communicate on any social media websites, because the next day when I go back and read what I wrote, it's a bunch of gibberish. My routine, I take an Ambien, get in the bed and read a little, before I know it, I'm waking up in the morning not realizing I even feel asleep. My only issue is, the pills are prescribed in bottles of 21 pills, one bottle with two additional refills. If I don't schedule my follow - up Sleep Appointment right, I'll be stuck with a few days with no medicine like I am now while typing this, lol. It is after 12 am and I'm WIDE AWAKE."


"Suffering asthma for more than 60 years."


"I started getting Restless Legs Syndrome in 2010, caught me off guard. I was taking Requip, and that worked for awhile, but I found that I was getting leg shaking during the day. Since I sit at a computer all day, this was very annoying and would actually interfere with my job. So I started taking the Requip during the day to alleviate the shaking, that made me very tired.

I went to a neurologist, and he changed my script to Mirapex. The 1st night was wonderful, the next full day, I was sleepy.

He had put me on 0.5 tabs 3x a day. I found that if I cut a tab into quarters, I could take 1/4 during the day with miminal sleepiness, and 1/2 tab at night when I wanted to sleep real good. So I end up taking the pill just 2x a day."


"I was given Xanax 0.5mg over 10 years ago for extreme panic attacks, always and still does do the trick.

I started off with 2 a day it became *as needed*.

Luckily I didn't build up a tolerance.

I am having trouble (Since my doctor retired) finding a doctor to prescribe them.

As I type I have been forced to be with out them for going on 5 days and I have had a few really bad panic attacks.

Could be lack of pills, could be physiological, most likely menopause.

I have not found any one to help me with this.

Why? Clearly, I know what works for me."


"Usually works for severe spasms in my upper back, neck, ect. This time was horrible. ended up in hospital 6 days later with uncontrollable trap pain, despite having someone massage for hours.  No relief. My arms also went weak, could not even lift a cup. Ironically, usually pain in muscles all goes away and sometimes I have a weak Left arm, but I deal with it. This time, pain increased all over back and neck, ribs, arms, I could not lift anything or do anything. Hospital 5 days to try and relieve pain.  Follow up with dr. in 4 more days. I will not get it again, as it did nothing for pain relief and caused both arms to not raise and have no strength and caused more pain because of it."


"I took 2 tablets. An hour later, I started to feel nausea and vomited.  It relieved consipation within 3 hours."


"During the first 2-3 weeks of starting this, I had a slight headache but that's a given when starting a new medication. I've been taking this for 8 months and I've put on 15 pounds. (Diet & physical activity has not changed) No more sex drive, I'm more moody about anything and everything, and I get acne really easily. I am only taking this to help my endometriosis and it gets the job done so dealing with these side effects really isn't bad at all compared to dealing with endometriosis without pain medications."


"Dr. suggested Contrave for 2 yrs. Declined thinking I'd do it on my own.  Wasn't liking the potential side effects.  CNP clarified - given family history, current obesity, eating habits & activity level headed for a place much worse than potential side effects.  Moved forward with it & Scaledown.  1st month down 21 lbs.  4 1/2 months down 63 lbs.! Significantly curbs desire to eat & feel full much faster  Side effects seem to be mild constipation & has impacted sleep cycle to the extent am awake more frequently through the night than previously.  Would have preferred to not have these things but well worth it considering weight loss & improved well being/quality of life.  Establishing much better eating habit's for post Contrave."


"I've had Fibromyalgia for a long, very long time.  I was diagnosed in the year of 1995, I also found out that due to the fibromyalgia that I have weak bones, and taking medicines increased my already there asthma.  What worked for me was the amitriptyline 25mg 1 a day also a great medicine called Tolmetin Sodium 600mg, 3 x's a day.  I've been taking these two medicines and have been able to work 40 hours a week with no side effects. I walk over 4 miles, hardly any pain and do strength training without having to take more medications.  If you are having lots of pain due to fibromyalgia you might want to talk to your doctor and find out if you can take these two medicines together. All in all I was hugged and it didn't hurt for the first time in eight years."


"After vomiting for 3-4 days solid, every 4/5 weeks for 6/7 months (starting at age 45), went to see consultant Doctor.  Underwent brain scan etc. to rule out any other causes to the vomiting, diagnosed as cyclic vomiting syndrome and started 10mg amitriptyline a day.  Cured! No vomiting for 3 months now, brilliant!"


"Diagnosed with RA 3 years ago, was put on hydroxychloroquine 200mg 2xdaily.  After 4 months nearly all my symptoms had gone!  Then the hair loss started and about a year from onset I began to look like I had the mange; so, being a complete peacock I took myself off of the medication.  Not a good idea, 2 years of being symptom free and I had forgotten how badly RA sucks!  Four months passed and all of my symptoms returned, accompanied with a new symptom of chronic joint popping (and more discomfort and pain) in nearly every joint in my body!  So, back to the hydroxychloroquine and hoping for the same relief acquired initially.  I'm not ready to go Vin Diesel, so maybe I'll just invest in some baseball caps."


"I too am giving this review on the loo. I'd say its like a salty lemon drink. I was meant to be going to see a panto tonight but has the saying goes oh no your not. Very watery bowel movement can not leave the toilet for longer than 5 mins. I feel like the guy from dumb and dumber when he gets tricked into drinking laxative. Lol. Well hopefully will be clear when go hospital tomorrow. I'm in the uk too so got on NHS."


"I was prescribed Creon after my 4th bout of pancreatitis. It is crazy expensive! I sought out a G.I. doc for alternatives that I could afford and also called Caremark for information. Neither had any substitutes that weren't just as expensive. I quit alcohol 8 years ago. I have severe chronic pain after 7 lumbar surgeries. I am being treated with Fentanyl & Norco (and/or Dilaudid). I attribute my pancreatitis in large part to pain medications. I researched supplements and found Hi-Vegi-Lip. It helps pancreatic pain within 2-3 days, although I continue it for 2 to 4 weeks to help rest my pancreas. It is an amazing product with my only side effect being constipation, so I take OTC Colace. I only take Hi-Vegi-Lip as stated above, not continually."


"Overall- I'd say that Adderall XR is better than Adderall IR. Sometimes I feel faint on Adderall XR. I can't take it every day because I get too tired. I have weird side effects with medications. I usually get all of the side effects when I take medications. I also have depression too. Hopefully, Dexedrine will work."


"Was on this for about 6 weeks, did absolutely nothing for my depression (possibly even made it worse).

The nausea was horrific, I had to start taking Ondansetron (a drug that chemotherapy patients take!) just to get through the day/night without throwing up. Tried taking it at different times and nothing worked.

I had high hopes for Vortioxetine due to the research I had done on clinical trials etc. so I'm sure it does wonders for some people however did nothing for me unfortunately.

Also important to note; it is quite pricey, and for those in Australia; it's not on the PBS so make sure you buy it at chemist warehouse (it's at its cheapest here for about $70AUD per box)"


"Just been diagnosed with Bi Polar Disorder after goodness knows how many years of episodes. Took my shrink the best part of 2 years to finally diagnose me after many different anti depressants, sleepless nights, racing thoughts, and wild partying till the early hours (sometimes on my own!!!). Just started on Depakote 3 weeks ago initally on 500mg per day which didn't help my mania, now on 500mg morning, and 500mg evening which calms me down, helps me sleep, deals with my irritability and mania, and generally slows me down. I have found that I get eye jolts ... fuzziness, but for the first time in 3 years (when it all started back up!), I am beginning to feel "NORMAL". We'll see how it goes.  My consultant has mentioned Lithium also."


"I had severe acne for about 3 years, after all the lasers, chemical peels, pills, tropical treatments, I'm finally almost cleared up. I'll be getting a lazer treatment done soon to get rid of my acne scars, and just to shrink my oil glands, but now I'm on this cleanser and it seems to work great!"


"I was diagnosed with PMDD after talking my new OB-GYN. I told her about how large swollen, and PAINFUL my breasts have become in my late 20's. My bras would not fit for 2 weeks/month. The mood swings were there, but it was mostly out of how self conscious and uncomfortable I was with my large breasts and body water weight for 2 weeks every month. It was awful PMS. This birth control definitely helped! My breast size has since decreased and they don't swell like the used to! I will say my sex drive has decreased....I don't feel up for it like I was before I went on BC. But it's not terrible!"


"I have been using 7.5 mg Parlodel for 4 months now and my menstrual cycle is back to normal. I will have blood tests done in June to see if my Prolactin levels have decreased but I am sure they have. I don't have any known side effects from it either."


"Botox A has worked extremely well for my cervical dystonia but also, has been marginally effective for my trunkal dystonia.  The injections were made by Joseph Jankovic MD, who pioneered the use of botox for treating dystonia."


"My PSA had reached 39.7 and I underwent surgical castration on March 19 2009 in Delhi India where I was on holiday. I returned to the UK on 23 March. My consultant prescribed Casodex 50mg once per day for my remaining lifetime. I am 79 years old and tolerated the surgery well. On 13 May my PSA level had dropped to 0.6 and on the 13 July my PSA  result was so low that it was non-recordable. I have suffered a recent bout of pneumonia, and I have frequent hot flashes, but otherwise I feel much better than I did before surgery and the Casodex seems to be doing it's job. I take no other medicine than the Casodex."


"Having been a big boned guy all my life was fine when I was more active. Now I am 31, 44lbs overweight and wish I was much taller. Went on Belviq three months ago and just now starting exercise. Joints feeling better, beeter blood pressure and cholesterol better. It works fine 25 pounds down 25lbs to go. My doctor won't tell me if everyone gets these results but he just smiles and so do I. Now I look better on my wife's arm."


"Had severe mood swings, dry eyes to the point of not being able to wear contacts, weight gain, breast tenderness.  "


"I have had acne since I was 13 when my period started. Anyway mines was bad to the point people would say what's wrong with your face. It was sad after years of over the counter drugs and acne washes like clean & clear and so on nothing worked. I decided to go see a dermatologist at the age of 26 and I was in tears telling him and just looking at my face. He put me on minocycline 100mg twice a day I saw great results in 8 months.  So then I went back and he put on them once a day I'm about to be 29 in July and in still on it. My face still has minor breaks out like from falling asleep in make up and mother nature. I have to say its great I go back in may to get off."


"I've been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 now for a little over 2 years. I haven't gotten my period since I started taking it. My doctors don't know why but don't seem to be too alarmed. I noticed I am emotional and I have the urge to cry about the SILLIEST of things. I don't think it has made me gain weight, if so no more than 5 pounds. "


"In February 2008 I fell ill to Influenza A and ended up with double pneumonia. After a 7 day hospital stay in the ICU I begged to go home and the doctor prescribed Zyvox. This antibiotic did its job and cleared up my pneumonia and also a MRSA sinus infection that I had tried dozens of other antibiotics for with no results. There weren't many annoying side effects which was a welcome relief. I did have some dizziness but nothing severe, also a little nausea from time to time."


"I got my Mirena put in Oct of 2007 after I had my first child. I'm 23 now and I wanted something that was going to really work! It is expensive but it is totally worth it if you don't want to get pregnant. I had horrible periods before and now I barely have them. It is weird, I bleed a lot for 7 months straight when I first got it done and then went to having a regular period. Sometimes I can go months without one then I could have 2 or 3 in one month that is the bad part, you won't know when it comes and goes. My boyfriend says he can feel it sometimes. Only side effect is lately noticing acne along the jaw line! It has pros and cons like anything but truly effective..no weight gain actually lost weight, no mood swing and didn't lose sex drive!"


"I was in a car accident in April and have been dealing with moderate back pain since then. Today, I'm being medi-evacuated from my ship (in the navy) back to the States for an unrelated issue, and I asked about something for the pain while I'm on the plane. This is amazing. I feel nothing and I haven't been able to get rid of the pain until now. "


"This was my third birth control pill type. Everything went good up until my period came-did not stop bleeding for over a month straight. DR had to switch me to a different medication & give me pills for uterine bleeding. Wasn't a pleasant experience. Also was very sluggish, depressed, & had very bad anxiety with this pill. Would not recommend this to anyone."


"I have been on Alfuzosin 4 months now.  I had increasing difficulty peeing for several years, and it got to the point where I had a serious prostatitis, probably from lack of flow. After several months of antibiotics to clear the prostatitis I can pee about 70% better.  I take the medicine at dinner time every day. I notice a very slight dizziness sometimes when getting up. I notice a very slight feeling of tiredness all the time. I can have orgasms just fine, no problem with erection either.  No diminish in ejaculate I can detect. I feel I am at the point in life where I cannot pee without some kind of assistance, and this medicine seems to be a pretty good option. I will be continuing with it, probably for the long term."


"I have been on Neurontin for about a year now.  I started with 300 mg. a day and now take 400 mg a day.  This medicine has given me my life back.  I was having 4-6 headaches a month, each lasting 1-4 days.  I was taking Zomig 4-6 times a month along with Excedrin Migraine and Fiorinal.  Now I only get 1-2 headaches a month and they are very mild.  I can usually get rid of them with one dose of Excedrin Migraine or Fiorinal.  Side effects are weight gain and some slight brain "fuzziness" but nothing serious. I had previously tried a beta blocker and an antidepressant and the side effects were horrible, plus I still had the headaches.  I am very happy with Neurontin."


"I had the Implanon first. It was awesome!! When it expired, the Nexplanon was to take it's place. My OB said that there were no changes to the hormones; I disagree.  The first year was alright, but at the year and a half mark, I noticed some changes. This stupid Nexplanon has caused me to gain weight, have ridiculous cravings, feel bloated ALL the time, my skin feels gross, random break outs, my hair looks like wire. But those aren't even the worst symptoms - the worst is my mood. I fucking hate everyone! Ha!  I mean, I will wake up in the most hateful, negative mood for absolutely no reason while being fully mentally aware that this isn't normal but completely unable to control it. It's like I've been PMS-ing for a year and a half."


"This product worked well for me I took it 24 hours after unprotected sex and it worked well for me. It cost $39.99 at CVS about $10 cheaper then Plan B and to me it was worth it. Although I was nervous to buy the  generic brand because of the reviews but it worked good in my eyes.  Only symptoms I received were mild cramping and a slight headache but nothing to crazy the only downfall to this product is it made my period 2 days late but yet again my period  dates fluctuates so much that it could have just bean on time.

P.S. I weigh about 275 pounds   For anyone who is concerned about there being a weight limit ."


"Started taking this a week ago because of terrible congestion in my head and chest along with RX Tessalon Perles. I'd taken something years before with the same ingredients as Mucinex that helped immensely and thought that the money was worth it. I've been on it a week, every twelve hours, and haven't been able to sleep more than five hours a night (about 4am after taking it at midnight until 9 am.) I still have terrible congestion with heavy thick mucus. Just finally realized about thirty minutes ago that the Mucinex is the only change. I can't rest AND with the added jitters and insomnia I feel worse than before. I wish I hadn't taken it to begin with."


"I have a hard time sleeping since I was a teen. Trazodone has been a God send. I started with 50mg and went quickly to 100mg. I split my pill in half and take 1/2 of it about 2 hrs before bed and the other half at bedtime. If I take it all at once my head stuffs up.  That is the only side effect that I have noticed. I wake up with no grogginess and feel great."


"I had my first asthma attack when I was 30 (13 years ago) and each year it got worse to the point where I would have 6 attacks a day and my puffers would not work.  I took this drug and my attacks do not exist anymore.  I am an avid athlete and I am no longer hindered.  Back in February I struggled to get my breathe and I was on my way to the Emergency, that is when I got this pill prescribed to me and it has been a God send!  I don't have the sleep issues others have mentioned here, I never really slept the best to start with, but no changes.  No crazy dreams. I never been more pleased."


"Wonderful to control anxiety, as well as panic disorder."


"Now if you're going to start a birth control please and I mean please do your research because not every birth control is accurate or even worth it. I usually get a 7 day menstrual. I literally have my period for almost a month and to top it off my doctor tells me oh hey you're pregnant! how is possible? so now my significant other and I are confused as to how we are pregnant if we didn't even have intercourse around the time of it because for one I'm on the patch and I'm bleeding still. Someone help me understand and I beg you ladies research your contraceptions"


"I was given this medication IV before a radiofrequency nerve ablation.  I had absolutely no response and had to tolerate the procedure with no assistance.  It was extremely painful and nerve-wracking.  They gave me the medication and started the procedure without ever checking to see if I was comfortable."


"I got Kyleena put in September (2017), so I've had it for  3 months now. The procedure was simple and quick. I was on the last few days of my period when I saw the OBGYN. The appointment started off just like a annual one. She told me all about it and asked if I had questions. I did a lot of research before, so I felt good and knowledgeable. My OBGYN is fantastic. She explained everything as she did it and told me when I would feel the pinch/pain from the placement. I would describe it as a 6, but it was quick pain. I had a little spotting after and some cramping. I did half a day at work, so I relaxed with a heated blanket, napped and was fine by the next day.

Side effects: acne first month (gone now) and some spotting (third month)."


"I have had toenail fungus on both big toenails and one little toenail for 20 years and have tried all sorts of topical treatments. I also tried two laser treatments. Topical and laser treatments worked a little but didn't knock out the fungus. Just finishing my third month on Terbinafine and it has worked very well. New nail growth looks fabulous and appears to be healthy. I probably need to stay on medication for another three months until diseased nails grow out completely and are trimmed off. No noticeable side affects except a little upset tummy...especially the first two weeks. I am very pleased. Sixty yo male."


"I tried this about 5 times. The first few times were ok. Then it all went downhill. I went from chronic constipation to straight up liquid stool. This happened 2-3 hours after taking the pill. Never again!"


"I started latuda last May for my schizophrenia. I developed schizophrenia when I was 16 (4 years ago) but after being on like 6 billion types of medications, this one seemed to work best..the side effects were the worst! I remember one experience clearly. I was on vacation at the beach last summer and I took a latuda pill before going out to eat with my family. It kicked in after 30 min time. All of a sudden, I began feeling extremely sleepy, dizzy, and I had EXTREME akathisia? So terrible, I couldn't explain it and to top it off, my heart was racing I was having a panic attack! In the restaurant! And at the same time I was sleepy as hell, but I kept my cool. My mum took me back to the hotel where I immediately fell asleep..terrible"


"This medication has been a blessing.  I have fibromyalgia which has caused major depression.  I have taken every kind of medication out there that treats both.  Side effects from other medications was too much.  My doctor prescribed this although it does not treat fibromyalgia pain like most, it has made my mood much better. I feel much more happier and alive. I have only taken this medication for a month. Unlike most depression medication, I felt a huge difference the first day.  Many people talk about the side effects of nausea with this medication... I did not have any. If I did it was not a big enough deal to make me notice. Overall, I think this was the best antidepressant I have ever taken and I have so far had no side effects."


"When I moved in March the new pharmacy carries this birth control for my insurance. This month I was finally able to switch back to Marlissa. Even though it's the same dose of hormones, my body completely rejected the Levora. It made me so crampy, stopped getting periods at the end of the month and got them at weird random times, nauseous and severe headaches. This never happened on Marlissa. Luckily my pharmacy was able to order Marlissa under my insurance because Levora is downright awful. There are tons of brands for a reason: every body responds to different kinds of medications and their brands! Inactive ingredients play a huge role people don't think about. Try out some and see what works for you- keeps you regular and keeps the cramps away"


"I am an RN and used Biafine on a number of conditions, 1st and 2nd degree burns are my favorite, because it decreases the pain tenfold. I have seen Biafine heal pressure sores that previously nothing helped  and I have personally put it on things like cuts that should have taken weeks to heal and they would be completely healed in a matter of days."


"Once I got it put in, I immediately regretted it. I had a period 2 wks after I got it put in and it was the heaviest bleeding I've had and to top it I had awful cramps. I never cramped during my regular menstrual cramps so this was weird.  At the end of my period I noticed chunks of tissue (I know TMI) coming out with my tampons. Talked to the doctor and she said it was normal to have it since my body wasn't used to all the progesterone. So I kept it in but other symptoms followed
-mood swings, depression, hair loss, back acne, low sex drive, continuous spotting, nightmares, low self esteem, pain in ovaries
The only good  thing I would say is that I don't have to take a pill everyday and I haven't gotten pregnant. But I do plan on removing it."


"I have been on 0.6 Victoza for the last 7 days.  I have had no side effects whatsoever, except for maybe less of an appetite. I have already lost 7 lbs so far, a pound a day!  And my blood sugar readings have gone from 170's to 109.  This is a miracle. I only hope that the side effects don't get worse or grow in number.  Moving to 1.2 Tomorrow.  We shall see how things go from there."


"I had a Botox treatment to my bladder for OAB on December 21, 2016. My urologist did not counsel me on the side effects or send me home after the treatment with an antibiotic as directed in the Botox pamphlet. Since that time, I have had two UTI's and still cannot empty my bladder. It is March 7 and I still have to self-cath every four hours. Like someone else wrote, I'm afraid my bladder will never be the same again and right now it feels like I'll be self-cathing for months. I wish I had never heard of Botox for my bladder!"


"Hi, i just started 2 days ago and the only side effects so far us nausea and feeling sleepy however I have been getting good sleep so far compared to before. I will probably post again after 2 weeks. For as rating I haven't been on it long enough to really score on it."


"Botox has successfully the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on my face. I am happy with the results so far. "


"17. My mood before ranged from sad to completely neutral about everything. I was unmotivated, irritable, had chronic migraines, was constantly exhausted but unable to sleep without meds and felt like I had a huge weight on my shoulders. Now I've been taking Lexapro/ Cipralex for 1 week. I didn't get dry mouth thankfully. I feel lighter, wake up very alert, and less irritable. I had a bit of nausea and some pupil dilation the first couple nights and I feel a bit antsy overall. I found that with Seroquel for sleep, I would fall asleep within half an hour. Combined with Lexapro/Cipralex I can fall asleep within 15 minutes. I take it around 11pm and then I take the Seroquel whenever I want to go to sleep. So far it's been pretty good."


"I took Latuda 20mg for 2 weeks. Was taking Abilify and had gained 8 pounds. Thought Latuda would help me lose weight but made me ravenous and gained 3 lbs in 4 days.  Went back on Abilify."


"I have been getting viral hives over the last 6 months. I went and saw an allergist (who diagnosed me) and he recommends this instead of Benadryl. For me it hasn't helped. I guess I'm not as lucky as the others here."


"So far it is working the only side effect was a dry cough for about a week"


"Prescribed for sleep, however, I'm also prescribed heavy duty pain meds. I take dilaudid 8 mg, 8 mg of this at night but have also tried only 4 mg with same HORRIFIC side effects. Severe spasms of my lower body which caused my legs to give out and I couldn't walk at all. When I tried my body would jerk in a way that would force me to fall to the ground. It was quite terrifying. Also caused severe headache,vision loss, ringing in ears. Horrible experience."


"At age 54 failed my bone density had lost 20% of my bone mass in One year. I Participated in two blind studies and increase calcium an d intake.
At end of studies found I had the placebos but had some positive results but not enough.
Had my first Reclast yearly infusion 2012 no side effects and regained 10% of lost bone at bone scan.  Had second yearly infusion this past October again no side effects hoping for another positive scan in May."


"I'm 23 and have been on Trinessa for 4 months. I switched from Loestrin 24 for affordability. For reference, I experience very heavy cramps and bleeding and about a week long period when not on birth control.

I have about a 3 day period that is moderate to heavy (it doesn't lighten my period very much, but it does shorten it). Cramps are reduced. The week of my period I experience noticeable mood swings (unlike when I was on Loestrin, and didn't experience any). But overall, I am very happy with this birth control. It's extremely affordable, shortens my period, lightens cramps, and does not cause mood swings outside of when I normally would right before my period.

I would recommend giving it a shot!"


"I was on put on Testim because there is apparently a link between people taking opioid pain medications and a loss of testosterone production.  I didn't wash my arms before I applied it and used 5g a day and I was right in the target zone.  I didn't like my shrunken testicles nor did I like the stickiness nor having to rub it in.  So I stopped using it and was fine for a bit but again dropped below the target.  So I started again but washed my arms prior to applying and found that it shot my way over the range.  I didn't initially make the connection between the two so now I am trialing using 1/2 tub a day which eliminates the sticky feeling, easier to rub in and the non-decaying 1/2 life is a huge plus and I only smell it when I apply it."


"Eliminated hallucinations, but neither eliminated nor reduced delusions.  Extreme anger, increasing as dosage increased, until becoming extremely violent.  When Abilify was removed relative calm."


"Day 4 of venlafaxine, 37.5mg at 6.30 am and 6.30pm. I have only just realised the importance of taking it at the same time if you are doing split doses. Previously I was taking as I woke up (5am) and before bed (10pm). Not good- headaches turned into full blown migraine. First dose I was sick immediately and was sweating, trembling slightly. I felt I could feel the chemicals literally swooshing around my brain and body. It was very strange. I calmed myself down, told myself to go with it. The rest of the day-fine.
Day two, realized I had to EAT with the venlafaxine to ensure I wasn't sick. I've never been a big eater, but half a banana with a venlafaxine plus milk in between bites was enough to line my stomach. Much better this time."


"I have tried several medications for chronic fatigue syndrome and nothing seems to help more than an hour or two. Vyvanse is a wonderful medication for chronic daytime sleepiness and fatigue. I could not believe the amount of work I was able to get done. It does not make you feel "drugged" like other medications do. I felt like my old self again, before the days of CFS."


"I have been on Viibryd for 2 days now and the only side effect that I have had is a lot of gas and had to use the bathroom about 10 times but it was not diarrhea. I am on 10mg for 6 days and then will go to 20mg. I felt a little tingling sensation in my head after I initially took it. But so far so good. I am also on other medicines Latuda, Cogentin, Propranolol and Ativan. No trouble sleeping last night. Actually I just fell right asleep but woke up at 6am and felt very rested. "


"Used to use Depo- provera for years. Then went through 3 yrs no period. It then came back with a VENGENCE. Had abnormally high amount of bleeding for 7-9 days with such severe cramping that it would often result in a missed day or 2 of work each month for months on end before talking to my Dr. Shortly thereafter, I  eventually got an endometrial biopsy. I was told the endometrial tissue was "hormonally confused"- was then put on Lo Loestrin FE. I noticed a huge amount of positive difference within first month & still  presently. Light bleeding & minimal cramping for 3 days- it's like night & day. I would highly recommend."


"Our son was diagnosed with ADD when he was in grade 5-he was started on vyvanse and after a few months and a dose increase developed psychotic episodes.  This experience scared the life out of me so we stopped the drug and revisited pharmaceuticals with our pediatrician.

She suggested Intuniv and we tried it.

Our son has been on the drug now for almost 4 years-he is on the max dose for his age (3 mg) (?) and I honestly can't see if there is a difference.  He has had no visible side effects-nothing like I have been reading about above. If anything he has put on weight (it is not a stimulant).

We are going to try weaning him off in the next few months to see if there is a difference in schoolwork and to see if the med is really working."


"its fine i just can't stop eating. like I ate 3 corn dogs an hour ago and I'm ready for more. other than that its fine im just so hungry"


"I've been on this form of birth control for about two years. I couldn't be happier with it. In the beginning I would have extremely light periods every couple months. But now I haven't had a period in several months. I believe I had some mood swings for a few weeks in the beginning. I have acne here and there but I don't know if that's from the Nexplanon or not.
My sister is also on this birth control and she loves it as well. She said she had extreme mood swings in the beginning but then they leveled out as well."


"This medication was my first psych medicine ever. I was almost done with high school and it helped me get through a very suicidal and alcoholic phase. I did gain a little weight on it, but ten pounds isn't that bad. It perked me up, yet helped me sleep very well and really helped my depression."


"I was 18 going on 19 when literally over two nights I broke out with horrible hormonal cystic painful acne covering my face. It was a nightmare. The doctors finally recommended spironolactone and I started on 50mg. Things started to get better but still bad. They then moved me up to 100mg. My face just about completely cleared up in about two and a half months with a few small breakouts during my cycle. It cleared my face but I experienced two side effects. One was extreme fatigue to the point where all I could think about was laying down and was exhausted every hour of the day. Even when I got a lot of sleep.Ssecond was I would get super dizzy when I stood up. I am extremely active, & work two jobs, and am a college student I can't stay on it"


"For years I dealt with acne on my face, chest, and back.. I was so insecure, I hated taking close up pictures, I hated wearing clothes that showed my back or chest. It just sucked. My dermatologist prescribed me to Accutane and within two weeks I seen a major difference. I will say, it gets worse before it gets better because it brings all your bumps to a head. But once your pores are dried out, your bumps will be gone. My lips got really dry fast so I had to apply chapstick constantly throughout my day. That was two years ago, i get a bump every now and then like normal people. But my skin is clear. Accutane changed my life :)"


"I have tried everything, from home remedies to over the counter cold sore treatments. Well, my doctor prescribed Zovirax and since then I have been nothing but thankful. The first sign, apply the ointment. It wont make the cold sore go away immediately but by the 2nd day its dried up and within 4 days its gone. I love Zovirax."


"It works...or at least is working so far. I put it on last night and it burned and itched but so worth it.  It was hard using it with the top they give you for your underarms but I noticed if you tip bottle upside down couple min before you use it, it will soak top and makes it a little easier.  I have not sweat at all today.  I put on last night washed it off in shower and applied thin layer of my deodorant on.  I have changed into shirts I know I sweat bad in and it is very noticeable but not today.  I have been walking around in front of my husband saying do you see sweat....and NO he doesn't.  I asked different doctors couple of years ago and they said there is nothing we can do but my new doctor prescribed to me.  Thank you"


"I have been on Tri-Sprintec for about 4 years and overall would recommend it to anyone. I have had some moodiness and 'depression' but only certain times of the month, and nothing I can't deal with since I know it's not REAL depression and it doesn't last long. The worst thing about it is occasional nausea. I think taking my pill right before sleeping is the best, and that way I am only nauseated if I wake up really early. I consider these side effects minor after some of my friends experiences of switching pills and all kinds of worse problems."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Wow, I feel normal again.  I had been living on 5 hours of sleep due to sleep apnea fears for years. I got tested and was given a CPAP machine.  I felt great for about a month, then tired.  I started sleeping 9  hours a day and drinking tons of coffee and soft drinks.  Nothing helped.  I went to my regular MD and all blood work was good.  Was told to start working out.  Problem was I was too tired.  I went back to sleep. MD gave me Nuvigil.  Like I said WOW.  I did have a few rough days when I started talking the 250mg pills, but it was nice to stay awake and have a life.  Side effects (headaches and dry mouth) are going away."


"I first took celexa but due to  bad hot flashes due to hormonal therapy for cancer, Celexa didn't really work for hot flashes but it did for anxiety it. With Venlafaxine there was no side effects I felt good from the day one, then upped the dosage to 150mg. Hot flashes are better, panicky feeling is there but it keeps it controlled. It's my 3rd week so I hope to get better as time goes by. I am 35"


"My mom is in her 80's and was given this drug a year ago.  Shortly after, she developed red (painful) nodules on one arm and then the other that would NOT go away until she was finally put on prednisone.  She also has suffered from unexplained sore throat, difficultly breathing, along with no appetite.    No doctor can't explain what the nodules are, not even with many, many, biopsies, blood test,  cat scans ,etc.   She has a feeling of overall sickness that she cannot describe, has been hospitalized multiple times over the last year due to the symptoms. Again, all doctors say it's NOT the hydroxyurea that she has to be given when her hematocrit numbers climb too high.  Here we are a year later with no answers and my Mom is still sick."


"Mobic has helped considerably with pain relief but  I now suffer from severe insomnia which I put down to Mobic as I am not on any other medicines."


"I get aura's without the headache (as well as the headache separately) which consisted of loss of speech, loss of power in my limbs etc and found that Flexeril often helps to prevent the aura's. Not sure why, and it isn't as effective any more, but to begin with as soon as I stopped taking it the symptoms would come back. After a year, I was able to stop taking it and the auras stayed away. Unfortunately, after 10 years they have come back and Flexeril doesnt seem as effective against them."


"8 weeks pregnant with twins. Have severe nausea all day and evening. Take 2 pills before bed and it controls my symptoms until late evening the next day. Website for the drug warns of withdrawal symptoms and how to prevent them so do your research. Helps me to sleep all day. For me I would not take it during the day because it does make me drowsy. But without taking it, I would not last all day at work. Website also has coupons."


"The 1st 2 weeks of being on Apri, my appetite increased. I was hungry all the time. But after the 2 weeks my appetite went back to normal. I gained maybe 5 lbs. I didn't get any acne. My periods have always been heavy and I went on birth control for them to get lighter but this pill did nothing. My periods were still heavy and I got bad cramps. It did what its supposed to do and that was prevent pregnancy. I liked Apri overall."


"Medicaid covers this! I'm ending week 3 on Viibryd - 2 weeks on 10mg, finishing 1st week on 20mg.
Had lots of tummy trouble after 1st dose (diarrhea, slight nausea, lots of bloating & gas), but it has lessened, but not good yet.
I take it with lunch. (Also on Synthroid - empty stomach in morning, Wellbutrin -450/day x 10  yrs)
Main other side effects: a bit more anxiety, electric-zappy/restless legs in the evening (getting better), other muscle twitches at first, trouble getting to sleep (worse after dosing up to 20mg). I do feel a little more energy and a little more positive. Not interested in food during the day after taking Viibryd, mostly due to upset tummy.  I get HUGE cravings for sweets in the evening (must be after it wears off)."


"I was suffering from bipolar for 10 months.

After taking many medicines i was on divalproex 500 mg for 3 years and lamotrigine 150mg for 2 years.  I was able to handle stress and forget that i have any depression.

My dosage for both was kept to lowest 250 mg for divalproex and 50 mg for lamotrigine. But on this stage after having stress my symptoms reuccured but was not severe as before.

I will have too increase the dose again."


"I'm a very active 63 yr old with a 4x bypass. After a year of not recommending any cholesterol treatment I finally brought it up myself with my doctor, when she recommended Repatha because of my statin intolerance. After my first injection I started to experience muscle pain in my lats and pecs. It felt like a severe muscle cramp that spread to my arms, although my muscles were not constricting as they would with a muscle cramp. I conferred with my doctor and she said I should not be feeling any side effects because it takes 3 months to reach a therapeutic level so I took the shot the second month and I'm sorry that I did and will not be taking it again because the pain has spread to other areas."


"I got my first dose Feb. 24th. I cramped for about 3 weeks. I started to spot around March 20. I've been bleeding heavy on and off Since March 22 to present. Its horrible. I have serious mood swings. My face has broken out badly.  And I'm always tired and constantly eating. My body feels weak maybe due to lose of to much blood. I won't be getting my second dose in May!"


"I am 20 years old, 5' 4". Got it placed August 2016, and removed January 2017. Had it for exactly 6 months.

This devil stick gave me the most physically and mentally challenging 6 months of my life.

Pros:
-unlike most reviewers here, I only got my period twice during the 6 mths I had it in. They were extremely light (the brown stuff rather than real blood) and lasted 1.5 weeks.

CONS: most severe to least severe side effects:
-WEIGHT GAIN. I weighed 142 lbs at the appointment during which I got the stick inserted. At the removal, I weighed 160 lbs. did not change my diet or exercise habits
-MOOD! Anxiety, depression, anger
-insomnia
-lethargy, ZERO energy
-CYSTIC ACNE
-hair loss"


"I'm still hoping this drug will actually produce some results, but it hasn't made a difference yet. What it has done though is make me feel REALLY lethargic, to the point I stopped taking it in the morning as I was directed, because I'd be unable to function at all. But now that I take it at night, I still feel lethargic, but I cannot actually fall asleep or stay asleep. I just feel like a drugged out mess. Also, I read this can cause weight gain and excessive hunger, but I'm the opposite. I have zero appetite. I'm not impressed yet, but I'm encouraged by so many others who say it's helped them. So I'm gonna try a little longer."


"Hi, I'm 36 yr old male and never had panic attacks or anxiety.  About about 3 weeks ago I had a massive panic attack and then I started having chronic anxiety attacks that would last for most part of the starting from the very moment I wake up. My heart beat was constantly at 90  bpm, I lost weight very, very quickly and and had no energy left. Doctor gave me Xanax but it just made me sleepy. I thought the anxiety would never go away and that I'll lose my job and home and my independence. I went back to my doctor and he gave me Paxil, reluctantly, I started on 10mg for a week. I up'd my dose to 20mg on the 7th day, and until the 14th day no effect (only side effects) but then a miracle. My anxiety is all but gone on the 15th day and no panic."


"The only side affect I received from this BC is hypoglycemia. This started happening a couple of weeks after taking it. At first it would happen after I went running, but then it started happening randomly/ without working out. And it was a SUDDENLY drop so there wasn't a way to prevent it. Once I thought about what changed and narrowed it down to when I started my BCs, I stopped taking them immediately (1 yr later). After ~4 days I went running and didn't experience hypoglycemia at all. From that point on I was hypoglycemic free. I don't think anyone knows about this side affect which is unfortunate. Just some background: I was 34, am a black female, and wasn't on any other medication."


"I am on my second pack of zarah and I started taking the pill because of my acne. My family says my acne has gotten a little better but I don't see much of a difference. Some side effects I found are that I am extremely unmotivated and tired. Being an elite athlete I am struggling with exercising and just want to sleep all day. I also only crave junk food. This may be mental but I usually love fruits and vegetables but I feel like throwing up just thinking about eating them. I hope I can snap out of it and get back to my life."


"In February of 2008 I was diagnosed with Intracranial Hypertension due to a rare side effect caused by Minocycline prescribed to me by a dermatologist. This medication, along with my lumbar puncture, has stopped my vision loss. The side effects have been very difficult at times. I have experienced all of the common side effects including loss of appetite (lost 40 pounds), tingling from hands to elbows and toes to knees, and intestinal problems. Brain pressure remains high but vision is saved. Over-all just glad to be alive and without a shunt. Be well."


"Today is my 6th day on chantex I've been smoking for 13 years I'm 25 years old. I've noticed a small cut down in my normal pack a day and I I am more likely to half a cig then smoke the whole thing.  Everything tastes different and I am very tired no vivid dreams surprisingly but I have a lot of trouble falling asleep. I really need this to work I have been using my inhaler a lot the last month or so crossing my fingers it works for me"


"I was given Dilaudid while being treated in the hospital for gastritis/esophogeal pain.  The pain was very severe and my blood pressure rose to over 200/100.  Within 30 seconds of the Dilaudid being inserted into my I.V., the pain in my sternum was gone and I was relaxed and sleepy. (After the first "Whoooosh" head rush).  Although I could have it every 2 hours, after the first 2 doses, the pain relief lasted 4-6 hours.  Most effective, and I reacted to it better than I had done in previous hospitalizations when receiving morphine.  "


"Horrific experience. Was only on it for 1 week (40mg). Muddled thoughts, numb tongue, restlessness, severe insomnia, nausea."


"Was given this after three wisdom teeth were taken out.  Can't say it made a big difference in the pain though I don't know what it would have been like without it. It was definitely not enough to stop the pain.  Had to resort to the hydrocodone to withstand the pain. That was better than Toradol.  So overall, not a big fan of the Toradol."


"I had Supartz injections several years ago with good results.  When I moved, the new Dr said Euflexxa had fewer side effects.  This was certainly not the case for me.  I was in constant pain and almost a cripple for 6 months. I couldn't walk up stairs, or do most of my normal activities.  I spent most days on the couch with bags of ice on both knees. Cortizone was useless. There appears to be no treatment for this side effect.  I am an active person, of normal weight.  Both knees are still swollen, but the pain is better than it was. I read that it could be another 6 months before I feel better.  I wouldn't recommend this medication to anyone.  It's not worth the risk of losing 6 months of your life that you'll never get back."


"I'm 17 and I have suffered from excessive underarm sweating for many years. Whenever I would get ready for school, I'd have to determine if the sweat would be noticeable on my top. Black tops and layering were the easiest options, but I was jealous of the people who could wear anything. At one school dance, I wore a strapless pink dress, at the sweat marks were visible in all the pictures. Completely mortifying. I tried pretty much every deodorant out there. Clinical strength, all different brands, but nothing was effective (some made me even sweat more). Hypercare has been a huge help in my life. I usually have the itching/stinging/burning feeling when I am trying to go to sleep, but honestly it's worth it, because it truly works."


"I started the medicines and it worked okay. Then they started to up my dosage and I felt sluggish. Once I got to the amount I was supposed to be at, I was paranoid, distant and irritable. My period is 10 times worse. The cramps are unbearable. My face broke out and I look like the before picture of a proactive commercial. I have to pee frequently. I'm getting off these medicine as soon as possible. I've been taking them for 5 months now."


"I had unprotected sex BUT he pulled out! I was still worried and took plan be the next day. I was getting cramps but no period. My period was 15 days late. My period finally came and yes it was heavy and more cramping this time. Please ladies be more careful it sucks to be in a worrying position. I finally got back on birth control. Please ladies handle your business and do what you have to do to prevent from worrying. This is NOT A good feeling. Its stressful! I personally do not rely on condoms because I've experience them breaking. Condoms + Birth control is your best BET!"


"For fifteen years I only slept 2 to 4 hours each night.  I tried many medications and could not even sleep with barbiturates.  I have been taking Doxepin now for ten years and sleep 7-8 hours each night.  I take a high dose of 150mg.  The downside is constipation and some dizziness.  A worthwhile trade off."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I just finished my first pack. The pros: I've lost 13lbs, my face is less oily, and my mood is better then it was. The cons: I too craved sugar after starting this pill, I had hair loss the first few weeks, my vision has became a problem especially in florescent lighting, started having headaches, I feel more tired and breathing has become heaver then normal, and breast tenderness. "


"Yes, there are side effects, as with all medications.  However, the benefits of taking Cymbalta outweigh the negative side-effects by far.  This drug has been a life-saver for me.  It is the best anti-depressant I have been on.  I would rather sweat a little more and sleep a little less, than suffer from the debilitating effects of depression."


"I have been dealing with depression since 1990 and run the whole inventory of SSRI's available.  Prozac was effective the first 2 years then became ineffective. The only drug that has helped me for an extended period of time was Paxil.  Paxil eventually became ineffective after 5 years. So the wonder drug Cymbalta comes on the scene and I thought I had finally found the magical cure. I've been on 60 mg of Cymbalta for about a year and once again the roof is caving in and very abruptly. This past week I've been suicidal for 3 days.  Why? The circumstances in my life that so often can trigger anxiety or depression are the same as always.  How can an SSRI become instantaneously ineffective?  I'm not raving about Cymbalta any longer."


"I've been using Epiduo for a couple of months now it's cleared my skin completely I couldn't be happier! In the first week I had red spotting on my face and tingling when applied but whatever you do, don't over do it, use a pea size and use it on only the effected areas!  People that write negative comments about the burning and the irritation, read the instructions it does inform you that they are common side effects! It strips your skin (due to the dry skin and flaking) and as for the people that are breaking out on it don't loose hope, gels like Epiduo will bring up the bad stuff only to make it better. As for the people asking if it bleaches just make sure it's massaged in and dry because you go putting your head on your pillow."


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


"I tested positive for Influenza A on Tuesday afternoon, I took my first dose of Tamiflu that night. Had a fever over night but then my temp broke by Wednesday morning, so that was the last time I had a fever and today is now Sunday.

My only 2 complaints about the Tamiflu is that it made me incredibly nauseous every time I took it and I also got bad headaches from it too."


"I have severe anxiety depression. I've tried all the meds out, as my doctor would say.  Cymblatla was suggested. And me needing to feel normal tried it. Worst experience of my life.  Was on 40mg. Felt like I was having an out of body experience, like someone was pulling me, everywhere. Dr told to stick with it, and lower dose (I actually did, did not recommend talk to Dr first). Nothing changed. I was talking without thinking, having more and more panic attacks and higher anxiety. Absolutely zero libido, and I gained weight. I felt "happy", but a weird happy.

So, finally I TELL my doctor for the third time in 9 months, I want off this medication. Withdrawl symptoms no joke.

It's been a month and I still have w.d effects"


"It helped the withdrawls but my craving are very  high"


"I have been on oxycodone on and off for 5 years since my massive blood clot diagnosis in 2012, the only pill that works... the issue is I relocated to MD. to extended family after hurricane sandy hit and destroyed me in NY, I am treated like a drug addicted, drug dealing, drug abusing low life to the highest power but none of these terms pertain to me, before my diagnosis I was in the mainstream of society working over 30 years, now I'm on disability, my future funds are gone due to medical bills and am on Medicare and Medicaid, my pain is real, I've never been addicted to anything in my life and I monitor my medication closely because I am aware of the fact that I need pain medication longterm, lifelong or permanent as per my prognosis."


"I'll break down my experience with parts of this birth control for you.
1) skin: totally cleared up my skin. EXCELLENT for that.
2) birth control: its the only form of contraceptive I use, and so far...no babies. A .
3) cravings: its hard for me to say, because I've ALWAYS craved carbohydrates and sugar anyways, so. neutral.
4) periods: on time. No break through bleeding.
5) mood: 100% TERRIBLE. I can not emphasize this enough. NOTHING will be wrong in my life, and I literally wont be able to stop crying. Yesterday, I think I started crying at 8am and continued crying at hour intervals until I fell asleep at 9:30pm. I get frustrated now over tiny things. I have mood swings. I act irrationally. But mainly I just cry. ALL. THE. TIME. and I'm just constantly sad."


"Had ophorectomy 8 years ago. On second week started to have terrible hot flashes, couldn't sleep any more.  Doctor started me on all you can name before trying Premarin. Since Premarin got my life back. Several times again Doctor tried to decrease the dose and ween it, in order to complete stop. I went into deep depression crying all the time and back to nightmare again. So thanks to Premarin I'm a normal human being again. As a floor nurse on a cardiac floor have talked to several ladies in their seventies that still taking Premarin daily.  My actual dose for years has being 0.65 mg daily."


"I have been taking Nucynta for about three months and take only 2 x 50 mg tablets per day.  At first it worked very well with no side effects, except I felt euphoric and a bit sleepy. Therefore, I only took Nucynta at night.  But now in the mornings I notice that I wake up very depressed and unable to handle the day.  I do find that 1 plus hours of morning exercise helps me get over these feelings.  I believe I need to ween myself off of this medicine."


"I'm half way through my third pack and my face has been continuously breaking out so bad since I started taking Apri. My complexion is literally better off it, rather than on it. However, it has helped my periods but if my skin is still bad after I finish this pack, I'm switching to a different pill."


"I suffer from cranial-facial hyperhidrosis.  It is really bad, to the point it can look like I have sweat soaked hair and face.  It's the worst indoors when I am shopping, walking around, work meetings, etc.  Seriously, the most embarrassing and socially debilitating issue I have every experienced. I have gone to the dermatologist for Botox injections in my scalp several times and it works a little bit, but nothing great.  After doing research, I decided I needed to try an oral medication.  I am glad I did, Oxybutynin works really well for me, I am so happy.  I usually need 5mg 3x daily to get through the day.  I get dry mouth pretty bad, but gum or lozenge gets me through that problem pretty well."


"I tried Paxil in 2000 when I had unstoppable panic attacks.I had been dealing with anxiety all of my life  & those years I had constant panic over a teen addict & a son with learning disabilities and marital issues. This was the first time I had ever taken an AD. The very first day I felt relief from it.However, looking back; the start up dose of 20 mg caused me to be a bit withdrawn & weirdly unresponsive to my family after that first day. As time went on though I began to feel much better & happier. I will say the dose was probably too high as I did make some regretful decisions from not thinking things through,I gained several extra pounds; & 'thought' I had sexual side effects; it could have been situational. Not well since stopping."


"I've had hyperhidrosis since middle school. It was my armpits. They sweat something awful. It could've been 3 degrees outside and I looked like I just ran a 20 mile marathon. I was prescribed drysol and didn't read the directions. So I just went home and put it on. It made my armpits extremely itchy and red also burned. So I figured it dosen't work.... It sat on a shelf for years while I struggled with hyperhidrosis. Then one day I decided to try it out again and got a new prescription for it. I followed the directions and didn't shave before use and put it on before I went to bed. Also didn't wear deodorant the following day. I stop sweating, it was a miracle. I was mad at myself that I had the cure sitting right there the whole time."


"I am 26 years old. Never had acne problems, even as a teenage. Started breaking out badly due to starting Birth Control. Tried diff brands.. all the same. So went to Dermatologist. Started taking the Solodyn 65 once a day. First few months no real change. Actually it unfortunately got WORSE before it got better. First month the worst. I was very embarrassed. BUT good news. Stick with it. Its now been four months and I FINALLY see a change. Its been 4 months exactly now and I am just now feeling comfortable not wearing a ton of makeup. I still use a dap here and there but nothing like before. Only con is that the pimples I developed while on Solodyn seemed to linger. "


"I laughed out loud reading Zentragal's comment. Made me laugh so hard. But only because last month I went through the same god awful itching burning pain that this "medicine" made a million times worse. This was the first and only YI I've ever had and my gyno said it was a severe one (guess why?? ANTIBIOTICS.) The first night I did the cream up I too though I might be allergic because I wanted to rip it off of my body, but my doc said to stick with the 7 days, so the next night I took some pain relief before I creamed up and OMG never again. I thought I was going to be sterile for the rest of my life everything felt like Dante's Inferno down there and I thought I'd never have sex ever again might as well be a nun"


"This medication helped me sleep a full night. It works about the same as Restoril, but maybe with a little more morning hang-over."


"Does help some. Not like stimulants but will keep you awake and have the energy."
