"I have uncontrollable itching and have had it for about 2 months now. At first my psychiatrist thought it was one of my psych meds then my diabetic doctor believed that it was one of my diabetes medications. I'm no longer on the Psych Med or diabetic medications that could have been causing the itchiness. The itchiness has not gone away. For the past four nights I have been taking this medication and the itchiness has been better at night but I've been sleeping 11 to 12 hours and having a hard time functioning during the day. I hope the doctors can figure out something else that will help the itching go away."


"I've been using this medicine for the past two week and started weighting 224 and now I am down to 214. I lost ten pounds and have 30 more to go. I take half a pill in the morning (10:30) and half in the afternoon (4PM). I have kept my calories I take down to 1000 calories and have been very strict with. I have not gotten started with my exercise yet. The only side effects I have experienced have been dry and sower mouth, some constipation, and only sleeping about 6 hours at the beginning. I am pleased with my progress so far!"


"So I got diagnosed with psoriasis a few years ago when my mother passed and I took humira then for only a couple of months and it went away. So just recently of last year it came back full effect but I was pregnant so couldn't really take anything. So now here In January I started back on humira I've had about 3 injections and it seems to be clearing up.. Staying positive.. I just want clear skin..

"Ever since being on Apri I have noticed a huge change in my mood swings, they're basically gone. I'm happy all the time and I didn't really get any side effects. My sexual drive has gone up and if any side effects have shown at all it would probably be that my boobs got a little bigger. This is the first pill I've been on and it's great!"


"I used isotretinoin some 5 yrs back. Acne has vanished but side effects still persist. I had thinning of my hair and severe hair fall which is still the case. I have tried everything possible to stop the hair fall but of no use. Headaches are very common even today and dryness in the eyes still persist. "


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


"This medication did help my issue but it has now caused me to bruise so easy. I can barely scratch my leg and a few minutes later, my leg looks like I had been hit. They are not the painful but they or tender."


"I am 26 years old and having been using Concerta for approximately 9 months. I have been extremely impressed with my new ability to focus and attention to detail. I have always been a daydreamer and that paid off in creativity.  However, daydreaming during a meeting with the president of the company you work for doesn't pay off.  My wife, out of angst, suggested that I might have ADHD and should consider getting tested.  After a 5 hour psychological evaluation it was decidedly so.  Since I have started Concerta I have been promoted to the top position in my office.  It controls my anxiety and keeps me calm and focused.  The only side effects that I have noticed are weight loss (lost 30 lbs) due to loss of appetite and a lack of emotion."


"I previously wrote a review when I first started tretinoin cream, but now I'm 3 months in and am SO PLEASED. I have sensitive, dry skin and this product works wonders. I have to mix lotion in with the tretinoin to "dilute" it and give my skin more moisture. After 3 months I'm starting to really notice a difference. My breakouts as use went on gradually became less extreme and didn't last as long. Now my face has gone the longest without a pimple in years! I'm up to 3 days without a pimple! Also I had cystic acne when I started this product. I use this at night along with Aczone gel in the morning."


"My experience is that I experienced arthritic symptoms in my joints.  In particular my top finger joints where red knobs appeared and I experienced pain and sometimes itching.  I also experienced pain in my achillies tendon and weakness in legs"


"40 year old male 5"10 235. Lost 37 lbs 3 months. No real side effects except headache and little dry moutH. No more Lipitor and no more cheesecake cravings. The wife likes the new slimmer guy. Just started exercise and looking to get to 175lbs. Things  are going well with more work to be done. This is a God send for me."


"This drug caused me a lot of problems.  At first it made my mania go away, but after a month on it I developed very stiff muscles. I was given cogentin but that didn't help, and after two months I became very spaced out and my family said I was saying some weird stuff but I couldn't remember.  My pdoc finally took me off zyprexa after 4 months when I showed her how stiff my muscles had become ( walking a block was a chore) and told her my leg would start twitching by itself. Overall horrible experience."


"I have IBS-D, I've tried with different drugs, Xifaxan included, but anything helps me too much.

During the first month of taking Viberzi 100mg. my symptoms changed dramatically (in a good way), I started being able to eat different food, included some of the ones that I used to avoid (chocolate, burgers, etc), just felt bloated and had more gas.

But I have to say that after the first month, the effect is declining and now (3th month) is helping a little..

So, better than in the past, but not as helpfull as it was at the begining.

Does anyone felling the same about the declining effect??"


"I started this birth control at 145lbs 5'3 so I was already a little heavy but I was working out and eating healthy to keep losing weight. The first shot seemed fine. By the second shot, I gained 5lbs which I thought was odd but the doctor said it was normal. I then started becoming very depressed and spent most of my days sleeping or in bed. I gained another 10 lbs. when it was time for the third shot. The 3rd shot made me gain 25 more lbs where I was at 185. I always ate relatively healthy and went to the gym. And I decided to not take the 4th shot. And it's been about a month past when I was supposed to take the 4th shot and I'm finally starting to lose weight. I'm at 175 now and still have a long way to go."


"I was on Augmentin for 10 days, did not resolve the sinus problem.  REFILL: Now I have been on Augmentin for 14 days and it has helped SOME, but the infection is still on the left side sinuses and tonsils.  Also, at times I experience feelings of light-headedness and I wonder if it is the medication or allergies.  My blood pressure seems to be up and down since taking the Augmentin and at times I have body aches and pains that make sleeping difficult.  I have increased my fluid intake to offset the dryness, but I wish that the antibiotic would cure the sinus problem.  I hope the doctor takes me off this and finds something that works."


"I am 28, no kids, never pregnant. I was on the pill up until last year when the docs discovered a blood clot in my lung after a surgery. After that was cleared up I was told I couldn't go back to pills. My only options were IUD or condom with a douche. I chose IUD with huge reservations because I didn't know about Skyla yet and I heard horror stories about Mirena. My OB/GYN did some research and found Skyla for me.

The insertion was KIND OF painful. It was like a very strong period cramp for 10mins then a dull ache for a week afterwards. Heating pad and ibuprofen! I had bad spotting/light period for the first 3-4mos but since then I have not had my period. I MAYBE get 1 little spot once a month. Getting Skyla was a great decision!"


"I was on Mirena and decided to try this. I don't like taking pills, because they cause headaches. I got it put in last November 2012. I had immediately 4 days of heavy bleeding, then no bleeding at all until 2 Weeks ago I started spotting and it hasn't stopped. I'm not Moody, no crampy, no weight gain, no acne, basically nothing other than spotting now (very dark, and I keep a liner on everyday)."


"I was diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia back in the 70's but it was "paroxysmal" meaning unpredictable.  I was also diagnosed with anxiety attacks.  The Inderal was critical to my improvement and as life went on, I found that I was low in calcium, magnesium and potassium.  Supplementing those things basically expunged the tachycardia.  If I feel it coming on, I increase those things and use the Inderal and it goes away.  It also helped with the anxiety attacks.  So everyone is different...and diet, supplements are also critical to good health."


"I have Small Cell Cervical Cancer, a very rare cancer with an aggressive form of treatment. I had to undergo an intense amount of chemo and radiation therapy which was aimed directly at my bowels due to the field of treatment. This being said I had a lot of cells that died off in my GI tract with all treatments. I also developed an internal hemorrhoid that literally has been HELL for the last 3/4 months. Miralax has been the ONLY thing to help cure this dreadful pain during bowel movements and keeps them coming loosely every morning! This is a hugely successful.  Anyone who has ever suffered from hemorrhoids during cancer treatment to that area (impossible for it to heal & miralax made it possible!) THANK YOU!!"


"The first day I used the pre filled applicator was quite painful. I burned and itched a lot down there. However, the second day didn't bother me at all. I'm guessing that the second application didn't hurt so much because most of the infection was eliminated. I'd use this product again."


"I was prescribed temazepam to replace my previous sleeper, I don't use anything very often. Sometimes I have a period where I don't sleep so well, I tried 10mg the first night with zero effect then the following night doubled to 20mg also zero noticeable effect. I'm yet to try 30mg but I believe it may only be affective on some people."


"After taking one 500 mg. clarithromycin in about three hours became dizzy, uncomfortable in the head and short of breath.  Am afraid to take another although it was prescribed one every 12 hours. Have spent most of the day with head reclined and eyes closed.  Had same reaction to 500 mg.. of Azithromycin but could take 250 mg. with no problem.  Shall I ask the doctor to prescribe a smaller dose.  Am very fearful of another like this."


"I've had lower back pain for more than 2 months now, went to see a doctor who explain I have a disk bulge but the pain I have is caused by a muscle spasm that is pushing against a nerve. Gave me some exercises and pain relief meds
Nothing really worked then I took cataflam which lets the pain go away for 2-3 days (from one pill)
I really don't know how it works but its the best medicine for backpain I have taken so far. I just hope it doesnt have side effects on the long run"


"I started this drug to help with the bumps under my skin.
I would like to say it's acne but reality is the Dr. and I really had no idea. He put me on Doxy to help fight the infection.
Firstly, the instructions on these meds are very unclear... it says to not take it with milk and on an empty stomach... so I did that and puked on the bus which was VERY uncomfortable and gross. So the next day I took it with food, and guess what? 15 minutes later I was puking in the bathroom at work. Next day I took it with toast and I had a painful stomach ache all day. I just can't seem to win on these meds. I went 5 days with puking every morning at work. Acne wise, my face has cleared up.. but I'm unsure if it's because of the meds or the cream."


"I did the same, took it as per prescribed then read reviews afterwards. I was so freaked out by others experiences with this drug that the anxiety was the WORST part of the night. I took it at 7pm then had a rumbling tummy at about 3am, had my first and only 'cleanse'. Went back to bed and woke up fine at 7am. I did drink LOTS of water (prob 3 litres) because I was so scared of dehydrating and possibly feeling 'on the brink of death' as some have put it...don't know if this was my saviour. It was accompanied with mild nausea, but just meant my hubby had to do the cleaning and putting kids to bed...haha!"


"Had below knee amputation of my right leg due to infection of broken ankle. Having pain in my left leg, a ghost pain, but no problems in amputated leg. Doctor put me on 2mg Dilaudid to give me relief. I take it once a day before bedtime which lets me sleep. No side effects but sometimes I need a pill during the day too, and I can only get a certain number of pills per month and the pharmacy won't refill it any more frequently than once a month. Am going on a cruise in March, and am not a big drinker but wondering if one drink a day will be a problem with the 2mg Dilaudid at night only once a day. I read about bad interactions with alcohol and Dilaudid and don't want a bad interaction

with only one mixed drink. I'll ask the doctor too."


"Due to having AML (leukemia) and having hundreds of bone marrows aspirates done, I now have to take Soma due to lower back pain."


"This is an update to my comments from March.   I am still very happy with it.  I did experience itching and sweating initially but those side effects are long gone. I also felt teary and emotional for several months. At first, I thought the Fetzima was providing some pain relief, but , I must have just been having a remission period.  I have Psoriatic Arthritis and Fibromyalgia.  I do think it is having a wonderful effect on my binge eating disorder.  I have lost much of my interest in junk food and sweets.  I can occasionally eat these things without going overboard or setting my self up for cravings.  I have not lost my appetite, but I have found myself becoming satisfied with less food and have been losing weight without much effort."


"This medicine has been a life saver for me. It is the only antidepressant that has worked. I lost weight on it (which I needed to), feel less stressed, can handle stress, thoughts are not obsessive anymore, I laugh more and interact more with friends. I don't feel scared everyday. If you are thinking of taking it, give it at least 4-6 weeks to kick it. It's worth it."


"I have not used Restoril very long, but for the time that I have used it, I love it. I finally fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up refreshed."


"This drug was miraculous!. It was as if I was waking from a 5 year nightmare. I was 'normal' again for the first time in YEARS!....HOWEVER!..Medicare won't let me have it and I certainly can't afford $300 a month on a fixed income. Why do they 'give' you samples, 'free' 30 supply but then rip it out from under you for $$$$$$. Now I'm on a generic Prozac and Lord only knows where THAT was made and   "it ain't a workin'!"....I WANT MY VIIBRYD!"


"I have had a very emotional ups and downs in life and after getting married 15 years ago my life became more hectic. 10 years ago when I lost my cousin; I had panic attacks and I became hypochondriac. I took Anxit(Xanax) 0.25 to 0.5 mg twice a day. I stopped all of a sudden after an year and did not notice withdrawal symptoms as depression was somewhat like part of life dealing with people. Now recently, I started having very bad panic attacks and I almost stopped going out alone as I was scared to go out alone and my panic was of heart attacks and death by sudden reasons etc; for the past week I again started taking Anxit 0.25mg once in morning and night. I am fine and happy for the past week and I want to continue same dose."


"Very good (one of the best in my experience) pain drug but beware. It is VERY addicting with horrible withdrawal symptoms if you don't have help to get off of it."


"About a week after I got my wisdom teeth surgical removed, I began to have painful constipation due to the side effects of the pain medication I was taking, despite an all liquid diet. I had taken the pill version of Ducolax before, but wanted to try a different, more natural remedy. I took the recommended dose for adults, 3 tablespoons (recommended is 3-4tbs) around 1:00pm. I took a nap and 5 hours later, still nothing. At 6 pm I took another 2 tablespoons, this time with 2 full glasses of water. The relief finally occurred around 9:30pm that same day. However, after the first time it has continued to flood out like water almost every 30 minutes. I am talking severe anal leakage. Just be patient and wait after the first dose, unlike me!"


"I took abilify once, at night, in a psych ward because of my new doctor. I went to bed, like normal. When I woke up in the morning to take vitals I started to get this tightness in my chest that I couldn't place. I was going to ask for my inhaler because I have asthma, but then I heard roaring in my ears and my vision went fuzzy. I didn't know it then but my blood pressure was dropping from a healthy level down to 53/28. I panicked and stood up, and then dropped to the floor like a rock. I was lucky the nurse caught me. My heart stopped. I don't truly remember a lot about that day but that was because I was either unconscious or in a dreamy haze. Ability sent me into anaphylactic shock and almost killed me. No ratings lower than one, sadly."


"I LOVE OCELLA! I was on a generic form of Seasonale and it was HORRIBLE had the worst depression/mood swings ever and breakthrough bleeding EVERYDAY. So I switched to Ocella and love it. Acne hasn't really cleared up, and do have some weight gain but my eating habits aren't the best either so I wont blame it on that. I don't like that the price went up but I'm not going to switch because I feel so normal now and never want to experience anything like my first birth control. I definitely recommend Ocella!"


"I have been on Seasonique since January. I have been spotting and having break through bleeding. I was taken off last week because I have had a period for 10 days now. It's not for everyone."


"I have been on Adipex for a little over a month and I have lost 12 pounds. At first I was not hungry what so ever but slowly over time my appetite has come back but I have been making healthy choices. My doctor said it's normal while on it for the three months you lose anywhere from 30-60 lbs just depends how committed you are. I know that the state of Ohio only allows you to use Adipex for three months at a time with a six month break and if you need to you can continue the medication after the six months are up. "


"I had had my Skyla IUD in for over a year and just recently had it removed because it just did not work for me. Insertion was pretty uncomfortable but like previously mentioned in another post, it was doable (I'm sure contractions will be a lot worse than that was haha).  Like I said, I had it for over a year and I had a period every month, most of which my period lasted 2 weeks! Cramping was worse for me while on the Skyla than on any other birth control. After removal, I've been bleeding pretty steady the last few days and cramping which is supposedly normal. I loved the convenience of not having to remember the pill but I don't think I'll be getting another one anytime soon."


"I have been on this birth control for 4 months and it has been great. I had breakthrough bleeding the first couple months but now I don't have any bleeding or period. I have lost 10 pounds because I don't have an appetite anymore so that is great! I weigh 160 pounds now so another 10 would be great. I am definitely staying on this pill"


"BrIlinta all but put me in the grave.
It stopped my breathing...over 100 times in one day.
Given to me after catheterization. And no sleep. Was sent home with a change in my meds...Brilinta. Got in the house and started to take a nap as I was crashing...
My breathing stopped. I had to try several times before breathing restarted...horrible
This went on through out the day.
Could not get the doctors to call me.
Called Walgreen...that helped. Was told no antidote and was told to flush system with lots of water
Not to take any more Berlinta...but use Privosate...
At nine pm in the evening I went out side and walked to try to establish breathing pattern...about 11:00 PM was able to breath well enough to sleep.
Horrible experience. HORRIBLE
BEWARE YOU LIFE"


"Please save yourself from this misery. If you are reading this too late, may the force be with you.
I am on day 3 now of using the 1 day treatment and every night has been a total nightmare. It burns so immensely and there's nothing you can do about it but wait it out and pray it subsides soon. It's like acid fire in your hoo-ha you can't even sleep or do anything else except say omg! Over and over. I feel so helpless. Sitting in a warm tub 2nd night now with salt water trying to soothe my poor burning vag, please stop burning soon!!
I called the doc and they said the ingredients are way too strong and have seen a lot of patients suffer in the same way. Next time, diflucan pill only!!...If I ever live to make it to next time."


"Had a bad neck adjustment and was taken to hospital to make sure it wasn't from a stroke that I got very dizzy. They said it was not and gave me this for the vertigo. I took half (12.5mg) the next morning when intense spinning started and it seemed to help and then 4 hours later spinning again :( so I took a whole 25 mg pill and though it did make the spinning stop I've been out of it ever since. I feel tired, off balance just "off" and strange in general and haven't gotten out of bed all weekend. I'm going to try a more natural remedy and exercises next."


"This medicine almost killed me. I experienced stomach problems, numbness in both hands and both feet, extreme tiredness, stiff neck, general body pain, water retention that deformed my eyes and the size of my face. It was horrible! I discontinue the medication and symptoms went away. This medicine should be removed from stores is poison."


"The doctor told me to have flagyl 500mg/day for 7 days for my BV. On my 2nd day, I feel so sleepy that I sleep a lot in the morning and the body gets warm every time I have it. On the 3rd day I got better but having headache the whole day. Now I'm taking my 4th day, I'm having stomach cramp. I hope the BV cleared up soon coz I want to stop this tablets."


"I've had the Mirena for about 1 1/2 years.  At first I was very happy with it.  Didn't notice any weight gain although I noticed it was very hard to lose weight as I began working out a lot more and eating better so I should have lost weight.  I have just begun to notice within the last 9 months or so that I am slowly gaining weight, don't feel very good, severe bloating, tired, moody, no patience, depressed, and no sex drive at all.  It has finally dawned on me that all of this might be because of the Mirena and am getting it taken out.  All this time I have been thinking there is something wrong with me but now I have hope that once this is removed- I might go back to normal- or I hope I do."


"I try to change every thing. The dose, the hour, it was à nightmare. After 4 months of high suger i go back to lantus."


"Wonderful long acting triptan. I have tried just about everything for my migraines and this is the only medication that keeps them gone. I have also noticed less issues with nausea with this medication over some of the others in it's class. I have yet to need the second dose and it seems to relieve my major symptoms within an hour with the headache entirely gone within two hours.  Expensive as it is I believe it is definitely worth the money."


"It's has only been day two for me and I will not be taking another one of these , side effects straight away , sick in the stomach , no appetite , massive headaches today ,no libido , horrible taste and to be honest all of these effects are bringing back my anxiety. My headache is not going away . I am going to choice nature tomorrow and get myself better the healthy safety way ."


"Took ambien for the first time last night after not sleeping all night for months. I didn't want to wake up late or groggy. This worked wonders. Took at 9ish just woke up at 6. So happy I didn't sleep in but also got a full nights rest... Now let's hope I didn't do anything weird."


"I suffer from Fibromyalgia.  Although prescribed 8 tablets daily, I typically take 4 if I can get away with it. It's very effective for pain."


"Honestly, I am not on birth control yet, I'm 23, 101lbs and I have had Graves disease in my early childhood. I had sex with my boyfriend on April 17th and took the plan b pill 4 hours after. Day one of taking the pill I felt very tired. Day two I felt slightly nauseous but did not vomit. Day three I still felt the same as day two. For the rest of that week I felt just tired, bloated and nauseous. There was little blood when I used the bathroom. All I can say is I felt some things that made me feel confused about what was happening in my body. Finally on April 24th I got my period! It was a little blood at first then the next day the blood flow was very heavy. So basically I got my period twice in one month. but I'm not pregnant!"


"I have been on Chantix for 5 weeks now and smoke free for 4 of the 5 weeks. I was skeptical about the side effects but was more scared about what it would be like as a non-smoking adult. What would I do with the extra time? How would I handle stressful situations? Well... I handle life just fine, if not better, as a non-smoker! I had a few slight side effects such as a bit of nausea and a mild headache the first couple of days but otherwise I am extremely happy with the results. I continued smoking as normal for the first week. However, as the week continued I noticed that each cigarette I had started tasting worse and worse. By the sixth day, they were actually making me nauseous. I quit on the seventh day. The only time I have any urges is when I have a few (or more.......) alcoholic drinks but have managed to work through them without lighting up. It's been so awesome being able to breathe easier, smell better, sleep more soundly, less snoring (according to my wife), no more constant coughing, and overall, more energy. I now love being a non-smoker!"


"I was prescribed this by my regular doctor for treatment of cystic acne.

It worked wonderfully for 3 years straight. Then I went off of it for about 3 months, due to pregnancy. After my miscarriage, I tried to get back on doxy. My acne stayed put. It doesn't work on me anymore.

But when it did work, it was absolutely wonderful!!"


"I wanted to put up my experience with Wellbutrin, because some people may have the same issues that I had with the drug. In the onset of taking Wellbutrin, I had, each time, slight to severe anxiety and almost worsening of symptoms, in proportion to how hefty of a dosage I started off with. Long story short, I'm never getting off of it again, BUT if someone is trying to get on wellbutrin and is having awful anxiety and no sleep or appetite like I did.... you might ask your doctor if you can take a small dosage and taper up. I literally started with 18.5mg and I still had a few symptoms from that, but I could also feel improvement at the same time. I increased by 18.5 more each 3-7 days. I'm not on 300's and knock on wood, my life is back."


"Been on Lithium for two weeks and for the first time in years, many many years I feel great. Like a light being switched on. Please tell me it will last! Mild shakes. Happy happy happy"


"I have been taking the 75mg for 2 months now. I have lost 43lbs so far. I can't believe how much it helps with my hunger. Before I would be hungry all day, and I would eat all day. Now I stick with a 1000 calorie diet, and I make sure I eat breakfast, and all my meals are much smaller portions. There are even days I skip a dose, and I wouldn't even know it. I would recommend it for anyone who has fought with their weight over the years. After only 2 months I have been able to stop taking my blood pressure medicine."

"Remeron got rid of my depression, and my anxiety was a lot better. I also was able to get to sleep a lot easier. I did notice some weight gain though, but not a lot."


"6 weeks I've taken this and I'm laughing and crying from one minute to the next. Can't sleep. But also my insurance made me quit cold turkey off of Prozac and Seroquel at the same time I started this and I was on the seroquil for 3 years!! I feel like I'm losing my mind."


"I was on 100mg for 6 months worked great my skin was clear I was happy, my dr wanted to try taking me off it slowly so I went down to 50 mg every other day, after a few weeks my skin started to break out again I became stressed cuz I am unhappy, I am on 50mg everyday now to see how it goes, im 32 I don't want to stay on this forever, I want to have a baby soon, I hope this goes away doctor say's it's hormonal.  I still have active zits on my skin but I will continue taking 50 mg every day and hope it helps clear an di hope 1 day I will ahev my skin clear again , this started to happy to me in my mid 20's after getting off birth control, prior to that, my skin was so clear it glowed.Good luck to everyone and never give up."


"I've been on Lutera for over 2 years now. when I first started taking it I had some mood swings, but now I'm ok. I'm changing my birth control because I feel like it affected my sex life. I hardly get in the mood. My doctor is switching it to Yaz. Hopefully that would work better. If it wasn't for the affect of Lutera on my sex life I wouldn't have changed it at all."


"My story is the same as most of yours; broken condom. This is my second time talking the pill, and I feel like the second time around I had a really adverse reaction. I have the most awful stomach pain, head aches, diarrhea (eww), dizziness, breast tenderness, fatigue... Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. I got the wrong end of the stick this time I guess. The symptoms are making me nervous, but reading all the positive comments on here makes me feel better!"


"I got my first depo shot about a week ago. I went right from the pill to the shot. this shot is RUINING my life right now. I am constantly nauseas, I have chronic fatigue, and I have constant head aches. I also can't stop eating and feel hungry even after a big meal. I am praying that these side effects deminish bc it is making my social life, professional life, and personal relationships very rough."


"Took Delsym to quiet my cough so I could sleep. Ended up staying awake all night due to nausea and diarrhea. Needless to say I would definitely NOT recommend and will never take this medicine again!"


"I've been having some knee pain for the past 6 months. I stand all day at work, 9 hours a day, 6 days per week. PT helped some but the pain always comes back. My family DR. gave me Mobic and a steroid shot. I'm pain free for over a week now. I'm very happy so far. No side effects at all. I thought I was allergic to NSAID's but this is giving me no issues at all. Hopefully it will continue to work well for me."


"Have endured a fib for about 15 years.  Several cardio versions failed to eliminate the afib.  Was put on Tikosyn about 10 years ago, 500 mg twice daily, which controlled the afib for 9 years or so and then failed to control it.  A double ablation (afib and aflutter) was performed and after about six months, the afib came back.  Next was a defibrillator/pacemaker implant.
Began to have vfib problems.  Defibrillator fired twice in a 6 month period. Was then put on  amiodarone.  There are new indications that long term use of Tikosyn or Amiodarone side effects may be vfib.  Was taken off Amiodarone after four months.  After 9 months, defibrillator fired again.  Was then put on Sotalol.  Back in normal rhythm. Too early to judge side effects"


"I started taking Chantix in August after filling the prescription in late June.  I had read so many reviews on mood, behavior, emotional changes I was so afraid to take it.  I had to make a decision and finally started the first week of August.  The first 2 days I had severe nausea and confusion.  I called my doctor they advised to take right after a meal.  I did that the next day and had no nausea or confusion.  I'm so glad I did not give up on this medicine.  To be honest I have had a few cigarettes here and there.  I guess after smoking since I was 16 (now 42) it's a hard habit to break.  I don't even enjoy smoking at all.  I take a couple puffs and the taste is so disgusting in my mouth I put the cigarette out.  I'm done smoking . Go for it."


"Dr. Prescribe for UTI, this almost cost me my life. Migranes, chills, dizziness, chest pain,nausea, indigestion. It was so bad i ended up in the ER with cardiac type symptoms, long story short i ended up having to do a heart cath which turned out ok. Whatever you do run the hell away as far as you can from this medication!!!"


"I talked to my doctor about getting on the pill mainly for birth control. I also asked to be on a pill that will help clear my moderate acne and not make it worse. I was given Tri Lo Sprintec. After reading the mostly awful reviews about it I was really nervous to start taking it but I thought I'd give it a shot and if it was awful talk to my doctor about an alternative. I'm now on day 7 and there hasn't been any major complications. The only negatives are that I get headaches and occasional nausea (not severe) and as far as my acne, it hasn't really made a change. My doctor said it will take a few months to adjust so I'll see how things go but so far it's not too bad. Gave it half stars because I'm only on day 7."


"I got my mirena inserted in June.  I didn't bleed right away but when I got my first period I bled for 2 months non stop.  It would lighten up some days but for the most part I bled.  Even when I was bleeding if I would have sexual intercourse it would cause me to bleed.  Finally it stopped.By September I began experiencing acne breakout tremendously.I had it on my forehead, my cheeks, my chin.  I had never experienced acne like this before.  On my daughters birthday my bestfriend thought I had chicken pocks from all the small/huge painful bumps, and blemishes.She said she had never known me to have skin issues out of the 20 years we had known each other.  My attitude and self confidence dimished a whole lot. I finally had it removed."


"Im 22 years old, getting married and Have not had sex Also I have terrible cramps and miss work So I decided to get the IUD because I suffer from migraines and can't take pills with estrogen. When the doctor measured my uterus it was incredibly painful. Everything went dark for a moment. The doctor told me to take deep breaths. she inserted the skyla it felt as if I had the worst cramps of my life. The strong pain lasted a few minutes. I really felt overwhelmed/anxious My breathing was shallow it was hard to catch my breath. I Turned pale warm and sweaty so I had to lay Down and drink juice for a while. the cramps lasted about and hour and came back later in the day. Today I only feel bloated and the bleeding stopped. i Hope for the best."


"I started Nuvigil last week. I was only sleeping 3-4 hrs per day for the first few days, so on my day off, I didn't take it. However, this week, I sleep as normal. I get 4 hrs of sleep in the morning, and then take a 2-3 hr nap before work at night."


"I have been using Trinessa for 2 months and I love it. My acne has gotten considerably clearer and I have seen my acne scars begin to fade. Finally, my periods aren't unbearable, and it's on time. I'm very happy with Trinessa. "


"QVAR worked very well for me, better than other steroid inhalers.  Too bad it is so expensive."


"I've had two bad knee surgeries and was left option-less by my orthopedist so I left and went to a pain doctor. I was prescribed Celebrex after trying nearly all the other NSAIDs and have taken it for 6 months. I'm not painless, but it has worked miracles from where I was, and I know when I've forgotten to take it."


"Been on Seasonale for 5 weeks. Results are varied, have had slightly nauseous the first two weeks. Now gave been spotting the last two weeks"


"Took Zoloft for ~5 months. No side effects except sexual dysfunction. I didn't feel much better or happier and it made me feel really drowsy."


"My blood sugars dropped by at least 9 points the second day on Januvia.  I went from a morning 121 avg to 101, lunch 90 to 79, dinner 141 to 139, bedtime 161 to 150."


"I was prescribed this medication after vaginal birth, 30 hours labor and a significant episiotomy.  Medicine was a life saver.  I have a very low pain tolerance and had almost no pain while taking this medicine.  The cons were that I was extremely constipated and mentally was very out of it and even had some light hallucinations."


"I've been using Implanon for almost 5 years now, and I didn't experience any bad side effects. When I had my first one implanted in my left arm I did spot lightly for a little while just a few months, then I didn't have a period at all, or spotting, I love it. When my 3 years was up I had it removed and replaced in that same arm and still no bad side effects. No weight gain or skin changes or pains and I honesly forget that it's even there."


"I have been on this pill for about three years. It was the very first and only birth control pill I have ever taken. When I first started I experienced nausea and vomiting but it went away after a week.  One time I forgot to take the pill and I was horribly sick for two days.  Overall the pill does work. I am not pregnant, it helps with acne a little bit and it decreases cramps.  I do have a decreased sex drive and I am emotional. I am planning to change or discontinue the use of birth control pills, but as always everyone is different and I would recommend consulting with your doctor."


"Depakote is helping my anxiety and resulting alcohol abuse. It is not a "cure" for drinking heavily, it does make it much easier to maintain though."


"I've been on the Nuvaring for about four years and love it.  I've been on three other types on birth control and non compares to the Nuvaring. I've never encountered a problem with it during sex. I guess what works for me may not work for you and what works for you may not work me."


"This medication is a miracle for me! I have had migraines for 26 years and tried just about everything. My neurologist prescribed this in an attempt to get rid of a 3 week migraine. I took the spray as directed and within an hour I was headache free. I have no side effects, no bad taste, nothing. It is truly my miracle!"


"So far the taste is ok. Drank it warm. Not bad, a little salty. Took the whole bottle to finally be able to go. Now just wait and see and start next bottle at 6 pm."


"Armodafinil is great for getting you awake and focused for the entire day. The side effects for me included nausea, headache, and tiredness (weird, I know). I lowered my dose to 75mg only on days I need it and I have energy all day without the side effects. With this drug more is actually less. Keep your dose low enough to skip the side effects and Armodafinil will help you through challenging work/study days."


"I started phentermine at the end of January. I started at 222 pounds. I am 5'4" which gives me a BMI category of Obese. I was skinny in high school 15 years ago but have had two children and haven't exercised like I should have. It is April 23rd, and I have lost 33 pounds so far. I have gone from a size 16 pants to a size 9-10. I do have dry mouth but I keep lifesavers with me and that is enough to take care of it for me. I wish everyone good luck who is starting their journey to a better life and better health."


"Great for chronic pain that last on a all day, on a daily basis."


"Day 9 of Trintallex. Have seen glimpses of normality but have still been highly unstable and dysfunctional. Side effects include: little bit itchy skin, headache, ringing in the ears, agitation/hyperactive at times. I know I'm early in the process.... This is extremely difficult. I'm considering getting the DNA testing to find a more suitable med if I don't see harsh improvements in the next couple of weeks."


"I'm a little over a month using this cream to help clear mild acne. The first few weeks were horrible. Face would sting especially around mouth & corner of eyes. Skin was peeling & super dry, with dry patches appearing during the day. I use it every night & if needed would take a night off. However I stopped feeling them around week 3. My routine is: exfoliate face w/ philosophy exfoliating wash, followed with cleanse with their face wash. I apply a vitamin c serum (trueskin is the brand) leave to air dry for 2 mins then I use CeraVe daily moisturizer applying a generous amount. Wait 5mins then apply one pump epiduo forte gel on cheeks/chin. My skin looks drastically clearer. Still get break outs around cycle but they don't last long at all"


"I got ParaGard as my first form of birth control because I didn't want to deal with hormones. I went through 2 models within 5 months. It turned out that my uterus was too small for the IUD. While I was on it though, the only side effects I had was a slight increase in my period (two days longer and a little bit heavier) and a more sensitive cervix. If my boyfriend even slightly hit my cervix, it would send a jolt of pain up my spine. I really didn't mind it and I wish I could still be using it. I wouldn't worry about the copper. And because it's hormone-free, there is very little risk of having symptoms caused by chemicals (like moods or weight-gain)."


"I am a 65 year old male who was diagnosed with Low Testosterone. The reading was 146 when it was supposed to be between 400 to 600 for normal range. After 2 months of weekly injections my reading is now 450. I feel better than I have felt since I was in my 30's and my doctor says I may have had this problem for years. One side effect I have noticed is I am beginning to grow a nice stand of hair on my chest and belly which looks rather manly."


"My youngest brother has suffered with Schizophrenia for around twenty years & we have also tried him on many meds - some good, some not so good. The main problem is the anguish etc. he undergoes each time he has to be "weaned" off one med & put on another. This is because after a while they all lose their effect & periodically need changing - not so with Clozaril. After being on it for five years, he is still stable, although a recent lessening of his regular dose is causing some anxiety. We hope to have the dosage resumed as previous, but see no need at this time to change him from this excellent medication."


"I love this pill. I just had a baby and I'm on month four of pills. This cleared up my acne significantly I haven't had a breakout since I started. No weight gain but this might be making it harder for me to lose my last 5 lbs of baby weight. I don't experience anything else. Just this last month my period came twice but they were both short."


"This is the 2nd time I use this medicine.  The first time I lost 30 lbs, the reason I got off was because we had started trying to get pregnant.  After 2 years of being off the medicine, I just got back on.  It's been 1/2 month and I've lost 9lbs, but 3 inches off the waist, 1 off my calves, 1 off the thighs, 1 off hips, 2 off bust, 1.5 off the arms. I just started my diet, and I've been exercising for 5 months and couldn't lose anything. But with the pill I've been losing."


"I am 24, started around age 19 after serious thinning and a lot of frontal hair loss. This drug has made my hair loss stop completely so far. No side effects that I notice, I take half a pill every day (.5mg)"


"Excellent medication to reduce my blood pressure but I eventually associated a persistent dry cough with this drug and was switched to Cozaar by my GP."


"Nizoral is purchased over the counter and is much cheaper than Cloborex.  Most importantly, it works best for me as a shampoo.  Cloborex, T-Gel, and Nizoral were all suggested by my dermatologist as options.  I tried each for a month and went back to Nizoral.  It's reliable and affordable.  "


"I got it at the end of October 2016. My bf is in med school and told me about it during his ob rotation. That coupled with my doctor recommending it led me to have it put in.
Effectiveness: really good! It's supposed to be more effective than an IUD. My BF said the reason it is not used as widely as the IUD, even though it works better, is because it has more side effects.
Side effects: I was very scared after going on this site and reading the reviews. I never had side effects with the pill so I hoped for the best. I gained weight. No period or spotting since December. If it wasn't for the weight gain my rating would be a 10. I recommend for anyone who hasn't had any side effects from BC."


"I have gained 20 pounds in the last 2 months, feel really hungry all the time, am having a hard time breathing for about a month now. I do not know if the breathing is from the medication, air, or allergies.  My thyroid is under control though."


"Effective over time. Was told by my pharmacist that it can take up to 4 months to reach full effectiveness. It's only been 1 month and I feel joint pains more often when I forget to take it."


"I got my IUD in on 9/30/17 it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt. However, I am 18 with no kids. After my doctor inserted it I cramped for for maybe 5 minutes while they took the nexplanon bar out if my arm. No cramps there but maybe because I was focusing on a bar being cut out of my arm!! Overall I’ve been super crampy for the past few days. Ibuprofen doesn’t seem to help much either. I get super severe pain when trying to go #2. I’ve also been eating like crazy... I hope it gets better because I really didn’t like the nexplanon bar and don’t want pills or shots."


"Works excellent for sleep. I have chronic neck pain and I am allowed to take this 4 times a day 4mg....however It knocks me out and makes me very dizzy and just off. So unless I'm really hurting or have time for a nap I only take it at night."


"Good for Hay fever symptoms but caused insomnia."


"35 years old, w heavy periods. I've had my IUD for 4 months and  I love it!
Perk #1: My obamacare covered 100% of it. My health insurance has never covered my pills. $20 a mo? NO MORE. I just saved over $1200!
Perk #2: No more pills! And super effective birth control! And zero hassle.
Perk #3: I spotted for a month. Now I'm super light periods & only a few minor cramps just before bleeding. Saving a ton of $ on tampons. And I can use REGULAR tampons now! No more ultras!
Insertion felt like someone gave me a big pinch. Then it was over. 1st 2 weeks were uncomfortable. My weight, mood and complexion remain unaffected. I've been on almost every type of BC at 1 point or another. Hands down this is the BEST. Wish I'd done it years ago."


"I love Loryna! I've always had extremely heavy periods, and the pain was so overbearing for years. I used to go a week to two weeks. I had them much more so than the average period... like I would go 10 days after I stopped bleeding and then start for another week or so again. I've tried several different pills and they've either made no difference or managed to mess me up more. Loryna is wonderful though! my doctor told me the first month may not show improvement, which was true.. but she said after the second month it should work and it did! my periods are so light, I honestly feel like I spot throughout the whole thing. AND they only last 6 days at most which is a huge improvement for me. I rarely cramp and when I do it's nothing.. :)"


"Works very well for migraines and heart rhythm problems"


"I've had headaches since I was 6 years old. Cluster headaches almost every single day. Migraines once or twice a week. I went to so many doctors, went through so many scans, and tests that I actually learned to read MRI sheets before I was a teenager. Apparently there's nothing physically wrong. So I went to PT, and chiropractors and they only helped a bit.

At 14 I was old enough to start taking the harsher pills. Most turned me into a zombie. And I've only stuck with two in the end.

I have just started having hand joint pains, and possible carpal tunnel, so I was put on a very high dose of Gabapentin. Two days later, headaches were gone. No rhyme or reason. Poof. It makes zero sense, but it's a miracle drug. 100/10 would refer to anyone"


"I love Victoza!  In just 8 weeks my A1c has gone from 8.2 to 6.4.  I can't wait to see what it is after the full 90 days.  For the most part the side effects pretty much sibsided after the first month.  As long as I eat properly I feel really good.  If I eat something I shouldn't, especially something fatty, it makes me nauseous.  Processed foods do not taste good at all.  I find myself actually craving healthier foods like plain chicken and vegetables and steering clear of things with sauces or heavily flavoured foods.  I am seldom hungry and now eat approximately half what I used to eat.  Blood sugar levels have improved and in  ten weeks I have lost 30 pounds."


"So I just had my skyla inserted. I really don't know why people say it's the worst pain of your life, my doctor prescribed medication to soften the cervix and I took 800mg about an hour before my appointment. My doctor also applied topical anesthetic and while I was mentally preparing myself for the pain he told me we were done. I couldn't help but laugh at myself for being so nervous. Ladies just ask your doctor to take these measures to make you comfortable and you'll be fine"


"I've had very little side effects with this medicine and it quickly takes the edge off of a panic attack."


"Anything beats the taste of the Flagyl pills and it really works."


"I am 22 and I've been taking yasmin for almost a year and it's pretty much okay, my skin is clear and cramps and PMS are a lot better than before. Side effects though are weight gain (around 13 lbs) along with bigger boobs and everything which is really not great. Also I have zero sex drive which is making me feel bad. I am thinking about switching to a lower dosage pill but I'm not sure about other pills because I have migraines and I'm worried it'll get worse (yasmin didn't really affect it)."


"My son is 6 years old and was diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, Aspergers syndrome, and possible bipolar disorder. We have tried so many medications, Ritalin, Adderall, Focalin XR, Risperadal, Seroquel, and regular Clonidine. He is now taking 300 mg of Trazadone which doesn't help, 15 mg of Abilify, and Kapvay. I've spaced the three medications out but he still wakes up at 9 am and goes to bed at 3 am. I am at a loss right now because the psychiatrist says he's limited as to what he can put him on but the Trazadone I swear seems to wire him up. He's wide awake as I am writing this post. The Kapvay does make him cranky and irritable during the afternoon, any advice please."


"I Have used this medicine together with Lortab, when my back totally goes out and all I want to do is lay down. Once my rest time is over, I feel relaxed and do a little stretching on the floor and I feel fine. This medicine definitely helps my condition. I am in my 40's."


"I was prescribed this birth control due to my agonizing and crippling cramps caused by my period. It DOES help with my cramps, but I bleed two times a month, which makes me wonder if it's even worth it. This is my first time taking birth control so I  did unfortunately end up going to planned parenthood, due to my lack of knowledge when it comes to this sort of thing. I ended up going back to planned parenthood and complaining about my nearly constant period I was experiencing. She dismissed me and told me I was taking it incorrectly. I made sure to take it at the same time every single day for a month, but to no avail. I do have clearer skin and no noticeable weight gain, but I do not regularly check my weight."


"I've suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome almost 30  yrs & before I started taking Linzess the only thing that helped me was Perideim it gave me an opportunity to visit the bathroom twice sometimes three x's a day, which meant a lot to me, but I had to take it a certain time of the day which was fine because I didn't have to be confined in the house. But my Dr. referred Linzess to me. The only difference is this works quicker & I can't stress hard enough how important it is to be near a restroom, I give 10 thumbs up to the makers of this medicine it really helps me but unfortunately I have to return to taking my Peridiem, Lizness is too expensive!"


"Suffering from severe pain in shoulder, elbow, and base of right thumb. The pain was constant. My doctor tried several medicines and NSAIDs to no effect.  Yesterday he prescribed Mobic and by yesterday evening I was essentially pain free.  This morning I am totally pain free, with a new attitude on life."


"This medication is okay for me. It has made me more energetic, yes. But it also makes me very sensitive to heat. Also I haven't lost weight like everyone says it does. In fact I think I've gained a few pounds. But over all not bad. I have a lot more energy and less pain and stiffness"


"I have taken luproid deposit 4months ago. For me its waste of money and time. One good thing is no periods but i still have heavy pain in intercorse.thinking to go for homeopathy"


"I have been on Nexplanon for a year and I absolutely love it.  It seems to me this really effects everyone different.  I have had minor weight gain which I am going to attribute more to my less than active lifestyle, (less than ten pounds).  I had super heavy periods before Nexplanon and after they are light an do vary a bit but are still fairly regular.  I am not any more moody then I was or tired than I was.  When it was injected it barely hurt and I could feel it in my arm but it never has caused pain.  I recommend this to anyone looking  for something easy and effective.  I will continue to use this birth control until I am ready for kids because it works for me but like I said I think it effects everyone differently."


"Been on Invokana for two years. Also on Metformin and Lantus. Earlier on, I was on Metformin and Diamicron (Gliclazide), still couldn't get my blood sugar numbers to where I needed them, so my doctor added Lantus to the mix. A year later, blood sugar levels were great, but I had gained enough weight to go up two waist sizes. (Before the Lantus, my weight held steady.) Changed from Diamicron to Invokana, blood sugar numbers still good (A1C 5.8), and it took four months to lose the two waist sizes I gained. I am still losing weight, and have been able to reduce my nightly insulin dose by about 10%. No other side effects (e.g. no UTI's), kidneys are fine (my doctor includes that in the lab work). This medication has been a godsend."


"I have been using Soma on and off for many years and find that it is an effective pain reliever and muscle relaxer. If I take it with food I have no real side effects. However, if taken on an empty stomach I get a little buzy. I have spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and degenerative hip dysplasia and find that I get more relief from Soma than from narcotic pain relievers although there are times when I have to take both.

I have found that Soma has been a life saver. After trying drugs like Flexeril and amitriptyline it is a great and effective alternative and it does not make you feel awful in the morning."


"After my wife was taking Simponi for about a year under the direction of  her arthritis doctor, she came down with a rare neurological condition called CIDP (chronic inflamatory dimylating polyneurothapy) where she became almost totally paralized .   I think that the drug Simponi is very dangerous to take and she still can't walk after 2 years after stopping the drug.  She has to take infusions of IVIG  gamma globulin every third week to rebuild her nerves after the erosion of the myelin of the nerves took place.  This is a very serious side effect that no one has addressed.  I am sure that others have had this side effect hit them from taking Simponi.  We have spent over $200,000 in medical expenses toward my wife's recovery and will take at lease 1 to 2 more years for her to recover."


"FINALLY! It is relieving to see positive comments after finding nothing but negative remarks. I recently got the Mirena and yes, I have experienced a few side effects.
However, from what I understand they are nothing out of the ordinary. I am not overly excited about the acne or the nausea, but I think the key for MOST of us that have recently had the Mirena inserted is to give your body time to adjust. Hopefully the majority of us will have a positive experience. One thing to keep in mind: It is possible to experience side effects with most medications. That doesn't make it a horrible drug for all."


"It works!"


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"Hodgkin's lymphoma , had five nuelasta shots to date...each time it takes longer to kick in ... Now at eight days after the shot for it to start working.  I spend about 36 hours with terrible bone pain, fever the whole time, flu symptoms...each time, but I am always neutropenia at my nadir (7 days) and then when it kicks in, counts go way up.  Take Claritan and Tylenol for pain/fever, but it is hard to feel like it is helping..."


"I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis with dry cough, wheezing, chest pain, fever & fatigue. Within a day of taking Biaxin the pain & fever  was gone. The coughing and fatigue lasted a week. The only side effect was an unpleasant aftertaste which was minor. Overall the drug worked pretty well."


"Have not tried yet."


"I was on depo for over seven years. I never had any bad side effects and it helped tremendously with my horrible moods. I had extremely irregular periods (I would be off my period for less than a week each month) and after two shots I quit having one completely. I have had no spotting either. I've gained about 30 lbs in that time, but getting older and married may have done that. I just recently stopped my shots and it's been one month since I was supposed to get it. I've already noticed I get mad and cranky faster. Hopefully just a coincidence."


"I bought Abreva the day I got a coldsore and now it's day two and i can not believe the improvement. It is like magic. Although it is still there, the swelling went down and the redness went down too. I am astonished. It will forever be my holy grail."


"I just had the Mirena inserted yesterday. I'm 22 years old with no kids. The procedure was very painful. I felt nauseous afterwards and felt like I was gonna pass out during it. I had major cramping and bleeding for the rest of the day. Today I only have mild cramping and some spotting. So it seems to be getting better."


"Worked to begin with and then after a while stopped working"


"On this one for 6 weeks to replace Cymbalta (which killed my orgasm).  As far as therapeutic effects, it works great.  Almost none side effect except for not quite good a sleep compare with Cymbalta.  Hopefully still in adjustment period.  The big question is when anorgasmic gone away?"


"I began a monthly regime of xgeva injections in January 2015. After the third month, I found out I needed dental work. My oral surgeon told me that the work I needed done was extremely risky while on this medicine because denosumab prevents the bone from rebuilding itself. If they had to pull my tooth there was a chance that the hole left would never heal and my doctor said that that situation would be 10 times worse than my cancer. The really shocking thing is that getting off this medicine for a month or two before a dental procedure is almost pointless because it stays in your system for up to 15 years! I don't know anyone who can go 15 years without ever needing dental work. Also, if I break a bone, it would never heal."


"I am a 52 year female and have been on Dyazide for 10 days.  I have had no side effects from the medication and edema in my leg has cleared up completely.  I have also lost 12 pounds of water weight. Blood Pressure has improved, but still higher than it should be."


"Excellent. The best antibiotic. My children respond well and it works fast."


"Dr prescribed this to me on June 29, 2016 I had started my period a day or 2 before my appt. I was experiencing very painful cramps, heavy bleeding, and some passing of clots while menstruating. After taking this medication my period is still on or I'm still bleeding. A much more heavier flow with huge clots being passed now. This made my symptoms worse than before and I have been bleeding since June 29th, today is July 12th. Go back to the Dr today a Lupton Depot shot and I may stop this therapy altogether and continue to deal with my previous symptoms. Not worth it. I'm 42 yrs old have 2 adult kids ages 25, 27 and had a tubal around 2007."


"I've been on this for 3 months and it worked really well at first. I used to get intense zits around my chin and upper lip, and they all but disappeared until a few weeks ago. I'm still fighting off that round of zits. My dermatologist upped my dosage and said that it's not uncommon to have this experience when starting out on spironalactone.

Also, I'm not enjoying the side effects. I feel super dizzy right when I wake up in the morning, which makes it hard to exercise. I also pee like a pregnant lady and get around two periods a month now, neither of which are fun. It was totally worth it when my face cleared up. I'm not stopping the medication but I'm a little disenchanted at the moment.

Do you all take it at the same time each day?"


"I have been on Minastrin for over a year now. My very first form of birth control. The first 2 months were tough to get through, with spotting, bloating, mood swings, etc. But, after my body got adjusted to the birth control, everything has been perfect. My periods are lighter and last 4 days. My cramps are still present, but they aren't as bad. I don't have severe acne, or weight gain. Anyone who has a bad experience, I say just give it time before you write it off as a terrible birth control."


"This stuff really does work. My right underarm would sweat almost instantly and would leave the biggest stain. Since using drysol, that has stopped. The only downside is how badly it burns. It burns and itches so badly when you first apply it, but the results are so good that the temporary burn is almost worth it."


"Had problems immediately (Tiredness after 7-10 days) with Flomax and so doctor proscribed Proscar and it helped somewhat.  However, It caused me to feel tired and occasionally extreme exhaustion.  After about one year of use I became impotent even with Viagra.  I quit it for about 6 weeks.  Felt normal with no erectile dysfunction.  Started again and felt tired and had ED.  Quit for about 2 months again and felt OK. Started a third time with the same tiredness and ED problems.  Have now stopped using it."


"I am 49 years old and have been a smoker since the age of 17. I smoked a pack a day. I was never successful in stopping smoking more than a couple of days. I started taking Chantix and after a couple of days the cigarettes start to taste terrible, not enjoyable at all. Day 5, I bought what I thought was going to be my last pack of cigarettes. I smoked two out of the pack and there are 18 left in the pack in my bedroom. It is really a miracle drug, I hope they comprehensively tested this thing. Cause it is too good to be true."


"I got the Nexplanon on April 10, 2013. So I've been on it for 8 months. I was warned about the side effects and that some woman's periods go away. The day after it was implanted, my period stopped and my arm ached for a few days. For two or three months I had very light periods that started on the 10th of each month. No joke. Then my periods disappeared for a few months. Which was awesome!!! The past few months I have had my normal period. Other than randomly not having periods or having my periods and my arm sometimes aches, I have had no scary side effects. I definitely recommend it."


"I have been on Enbrel for about 8 years and it has been the best experience for me. I had to go off of it for a short time due to surgery and my husband had to help me up out of bed and to even walk because I was in so much pain without it. It is a life changing experience that I don't know what I would do without it."


"I have had my Paragard for three months now and I LOVE it. I was terrified to get this put in as I had never been on birth control before and after reading all of the reviews about the insertion process, I was practically shaking in the obgyn office. Not one bit of it was painful for me. It just felt a little funny, but when he inserted it there was a tiny baby cramp that went away almost instantly.
For the record, I have not had any kids, I am tall and thin, and have 3 day medium flow periods which haven't changed since getting on this, and only had spotting the first month. I had bad cramps once when I wasn't wearing proper shoes at a job where I walk on hard brick all day, but they went away with 2 motin."


"Hello, I'm a 38 year old female that had a seizure for the first time 3 weeks ago.  I ended up in the hospital for 10 days. EEG did not show anything.  I noticed that when I would think about my ill father, and upcoming responsibilities that I'm going to have to deal with, my foot starts cramping up, then leads up my leg until it makes my whole body do weird movements, and my hands and feet feel like they are spiraling and crushing in my skin (hallucinating feeling).  I breath deep, fast, panicky.   sometimes I pass out at the end and become incoherent,  and sometimes the cramping just releases in an instant and I remember everything.   Ativan is the only thing that prevents this from happening."


"When I was seeing a doctor I would get 30 mg in the morning 30 mg in the afternoon and if I needed it 30 mg at night between those times I took 30 mg of instant release morphine three times a day if needed. This was better than just the methadone .I had no pain at all with with the methadone and no morphine with it I would say 1 to 10 I give it a 7 or 6 and that's the diskets I found that the liquid did not hold me as long and within 8 hours I was back in pain at least my pain is tolerable now"


"I'm about 2.5 years into my 3 years.  I personally think it's some type of government tracking device but that's another story ;D  Overall it has done its job! No scares, no babies.  The first maybe 6 months were all over the place period wise but eventually things mellowed out.  Now I'm on a regular cycle every 5 weeks or so.  You hardly feel it in your arm and it really is wonderful not to worry about taking a pill everyday at the same time, all those woes, etc.

After my 3 years is up I believe I will get the "device" (as I call it, HA!) again, unless another option comes along.  I heard there will be a scar upon removal?  My plan has always been to get a little arrow tattoo or something once I'm all done."


"Well, I would say that the side effects, when you stop talking is like so.
I feel like I'm shivering inside, one of the worst feeling in the world. So bad that if I miss a dose, I'm waiting at the Pharmacy before its open.
I suggest that one doesn't miss a dose."


"I started the medication on 3/11/15 and weighed 263, I am 5'10.  37.5 mg 1 tablet a day, I go to the gym and walk on the treadmill for an hour at an incline 13, then 100 sit ups and then go to the arm work outs.  I am on a diet only eat grilled fish and tuna & fruits.  It seems that I am only down 15 pounds.  When I am at my desk during the day, I drink tons of water and have my weights I continue to work on my arms.  Just can not believe that I am not loosing more.  I am hoping that I am gaining muscle and that is the difference.  I was getting really sick to my stomach and cramps on the meds so I stopped taking for about 4 days until I realized I stopped eating when i took the pill.  I was taking on an empty stomach."


"I ran out of losartan and could not get a refill for about 10 days. Using my personal BP cuff my blood pressure ran up to almost 200/120. Scary. I got my refill and after taking 1 pill a day for 3 days my blood pressure is back to 135-140/85-90. I am quite happy that it worked relatively quickly and I'm back in the normal range. I am 71."


"I use benedryl for motion sickness and it does work. I can never remember the car ride, due to being asleep. I love it."


"At age 42 I had partial hysterectomy (uterus only) to remove large fibroids. (daughter was born when I was 32). Dr found stage IV endometriosis.  He left my ovaries and said he never wanted to do surgery again - endo everywhere.  He suggested Lupron to arrest the Endo.  It took me a year to start Lupron.  I had to contact a foundation to qualify to receive the medication for free.  I did two 3 month shots.  I remember some hot flashes, nausea & a few mood swings but it passed fairly quickly.  Now, I am 46 and in full menopause.  I have osteopenia with some degenerative disc issues.  Chronic back pain hurts most when laying on stomach in bed. But  I do not use pain meds or H.R.T.  I hope the brain fog & other symptoms continue to improve."


"This is my 2nd time taking birth control. I am on my 2nd pack with this particular one and near the end of the 2nd week. Maybe 4-5 days after my period ends, I get another period or "breakthrough bleeding" I'm not happy with this at all because this will probably go on until I finish the pack. So technically I bleed for about 2-3 weeks. This is not cool. I will give this one more month to see if my body will adjust. If this situation doesn't get better then I'm going to discontinue use of this product."


"diagnosed Jan 2, 2015 with renal cell carcinoma.  I'm 61 and have been a picture of health my whole life.  Right kidney had a tumor and they were going to remove until found 2 leisions on my liver.  First med I did not respond to and been on Votrient for 2 weeks. After 1 week they felt I was responding.  Side effects are bad with vomiting and diarrhea that it drains me.  Hard to eat as food doesn't taste right and now my tongue has a burnt taste so nothing tastes good

 and have

 lost a lot of weight in short periods of time.  sleep 10 -12 night and 2 hr nap.  They say this is all typical for everyone.  How long has it taken everyone to finally get back to feeling normal.  I use a walker around house and wheelchair for dr"


"Hi I'm from Philippines. i have a Insomnia for 2 months and my Doctor gave me a Rivotril ( Clonazepam) this is a true blessing for me. because i sleep better. for Now i take this when i need like have a occasion or for travel its Great Help me a LOT. also i try different Sleeping aids. Like Melatonin, Sleepasils. but did't work. Only CLONAZEPAM work Wonderfully! :)"


"I took this medicine for anxiety and panick attacks. After suffering for several months trying all sorts of medication. It was this old school medicine that gave me hope that i can actually recover. It improves my general health condition. But  i found it difficult to wake up from sleep while i was still on this medication.It really helps but did not address the symptoms permanently."


"Week four on Brintellix, 10mg to start...upped to 20mg for 3 weeks now no side effects as of yet. I'm feeling better every day it seems. I feel happy again, less agitation, more energy and motivation. My personal relationships, which were quickly deteriorating are seeming to return to normal! My only wish is that I'd found this medication much sooner. Best wishes to anyone else with this medication! (My insurance is needing a pre-authorization to cover this medication...just a note for others.)"


"I'm 14 years old, and my dermatologist prescribed Doryx for me for 2 months and all it did was create worse acne. I have no idea why it didn't work, but I was put on Sulfamethoxazole about a week ago, and I already see a difference. My dermatologist said this drug is almost the same as Doryx, but has a different molecule in it. If you are going to try Doryx, I would definitely take it with food. With Doryx I threw up 4 times because I didn't take it with enough food."


"Received samples from Dr's office to last for 1 month.  My symptoms were stomach pain,  heartburn and excessive burping for around 5 days before getting an appointment.  Within 2 days all the symptoms described above were 90 percent better but almost from day 2 I started having very soft stools which could turn to loose stools later in day.  Not uncommon to have 4-5 bowel movements in a day.   Starting with week 4 I started feeling burning sensations in my back and the stomach pain and burping returned although has been to a lesser degree.  I do not intend to take anymore and will explore other options with Dr.  Do your research on PPI's they can act as a mask for more serious issues."


"I get yeast infections about every other month. This year I have had at least 7 prescriptions. Doesn't seem to work. I am diabetic. The itching is vicious even after day 3 of pill. No side effects from med though"


"My hair is falling out.  It's so hard to lose weight.  I feel mentally a little off like constant irritation.  I also feel a little lethargic.  When I first got the shots I felt jittery for days.  I'm having blurry vision.  "


"I had my first baby in May and in July I had the Mirena put in. It wasn't the most pleasant experience but it was definitely better than childbirth hahaha. I cramped and bled for a few weeks (had my period when I got it inserted). Then monthlyish I got a light period and cramps. This month I have been bleeding for almost 10 days now with cramps. Started with 5 days of nasty colored brown blood, now its super bright red and starting to worry me but I'll wait a while longer. This was an awesome form of birth control for me, no reminders and very little chance of pregnancy. However, I haven't been able to keep a stable weight and I've been a bit down on everything and also have highs and lows with my sex drive. The IUD was also very pricey. $400"


"I've taken Yasmin for probably the last 3 years, but I've been using other birth control pills for 12 years and the pill I was using made me gain about 7-8 lbs of water weight. That's when my doctor put me on Yasmin, in a few days I lost the water weight, I don't get cramps, no mood swings, my periods last for 3-4 very light days and I only have them every 3 months, so if your doctor says you can take Yasmin I highly recommend it."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This was my second colonoscopy with Suprep.  Here are my tips to getting through:  use a straw placed at the back of the throat and a swimmer's nose clip to minimize the awful taste.  I also ate a low residue diet for a couple of days before (e.g., chicken, pasta, eggs) so as to not have a lot to clean out. The stuff worked in about 20 minutes and I was passing clear liquid well before the second dose, which did not go down as well. I started throwing it back up after only drinking about a third of the mix.  I drank about 20 ounces of the "follow up" water and spent the next couple of hours on the throne passing more clear liquid. Had some chills and nausea with Suprep but thankfully no headache.  Thanks to all who shared their comments!"


"Reading these reviews finds me nodding my head with approval. After years with plaque psoraisis, its over...at least for now.  I did creams, Enbrel for 2 years, now Humira for about 6 months.  Initially it worsened then got way better.  Now, I have been off the Humira for over 3 months and nothing has come back.  My skin is 99% better.  I had over 50% coverage on my body and it was unsightly, painful, and nasty.  Now it's all gone.  At this point in time I have to say: this stuff is remarkable."


"I have been suffering from ankylosing spondylitis for quite a number of years. In the past 3 years it has become very severe, and has made me feel very ill, thus inhibiting my quality of life. I haven't been able to hold down a long term job because of this arthritis. I took Humira initially which didn't work at all. I then tried Simponi, with quite good results. Morning stiffness and pain throughout the day had been significantly decreased. However it seemed to wear off after around 10 days or so. I bared the usual pain for a week or so, before I injected myself again 3 weeks later, instead of four. Hopefully my specialist will allow me to take it every 2 weeks instead of the usual 4 week injections."


"Began taking Saxenda on 4/5/17. I am 67 y.o. 5'10" and started at 340 lbs. As of April 12th I moved my dose to 1.2 and weighed in at 325 lbs. So far only side effect has been some mild nausea for which I am taking compazine. So far so good; I will post weekly for the first month or two and then go to monthly."


"I have not  experienced any side effects besides a little constipation. My eating habits has decreased. My weight has dropped 10 pounds a month for the last 2 months. I don't think it is the medication that cause me to lose, but my  5 miles a day run. Overall its a good product. Does not cause my glucose to go too low."


"I switched to the patch a little over a year ago after being on the pill 'Microgynon' for almost two years. I was getting really bad breakthrough bleeding with the pill so wanted to try something different. The patch has been great for me this past year, though I generally found the easiest place to put it was on my stomach as arms and back just itched too much! My biggest problem is how unsightly it is - I wear black leggings for work 5 days a week and the edges of the patch collect a horrible black lint from them all week. Additionally, if I have a long bath or go swimming the edges start lifting and sometimes I have to change it midweek as its started to peel off. Overall does what it should, and hasn't caused any problems."


"I was given samples of Silenor, and I've been taking it for about two weeks. My problem is not only that I can't sleep for more than 2 hours straight, but it also takes around 3 hours to fall asleep. Anyway, I noticed that I was getting a lot of terrible nightmares right away with the Silenor. As someone who hardly ever even remembers her dreams, the nightmares were quite obviously related to the medicine. Also, the Silenor didn't help me fall asleep/stay asleep at all. My doctor switched me to Ambien, and I'm trying that for the first time tonight. Most of you had a bad experience with Ambien and are loving the Silenor, so I'm not sure how this will work out."


"Struggling with insomnia caused by severe MDD, this stuff puts you in sleep like no other. BUT, I  gained 30Ibs!!!
It made me even more depressed.I f you have the same problem, I suggest you to talk to your doctor .Hope this helped!"


"I had my Paragard removed today. I had it for about 17 months and maybe 3 months after the insertion I started feeling really bad, first just depression, insomnia and overall feeling of not being well, then I developed a bad anxiety followed by panic attacks, my heart beating like crazy from the minute I woke up, I was a wreck not able to get myself to work and be productive, I was drained, exhausted and unhappy, I was not able to enjoy anything, day after day. I had my blood and urine tested and everything seemed fine to my PCP, they wanted to treat me for mental issues because I really thought I was going crazy. I went to my gynecologist for a check-up and mentioned my symptoms, they said nothing...Now I am dealing with copper overload!!"


"It worked as advertised!  Stroke free for 1.5 years now thanks to plavix"


"I started using this product a little more than a week ago.  I applied it three nights in a row as instructed, and went to a party the next day to test it out.  I still sweated, but not nearly as much, and I had hope that with time I would be totally sweat free.  I applied it once again the following night, only to continue to sweat the next day.  Since then (It's been about four days) I have applied hypercare every night without any improvements in the amount I sweat.  Today was the first day of school and I was sweat the entire day, unable to lift my arms at all for fear of the odor and stains.  I feel so hopeless now and don't know what to do."


"Took Cymbalta for close to a year for Fibro symptoms.  For the first couple months it seemed to be helping, and then it stopped.  I had worsening sleep difficulty, violent mood swings, and a variety of other side effects.  Even with all the Fibro symptoms, I feel better off the med than I ever felt on it.  It was also expensive."


"I've been on this pill for 12 months, and I hate it. For the first 6 months I was super moody...I'm actually convinced it ruined my last relationship bc it made me nuts. But sadly I stayed on it because I was desperate for clear skin, and it pretty much gave me that. HOWEVER, beginning seven months, my poor face started to suffer. It's only gotten worse....the only reason now that I've stayed on it is because it's really regulated my period. But my skin is dead...cysts on my forehead (I've never broken out on my forehead), cysts all over my cheeks...jawline...occasionally nose and chin. It's really sad and takes an unfortunate emotional toll. I'm stopping tonight and won't go back on this pill again. Try Velivet, I've heard great things."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I read all these horror stories which freaked me out so I had to break it open and taste it, instead of being stressed for a week.

No big whoopdeedoop. Its pretty mild. I think the worst part will be having to drink so much water and pooping for a few hours. I guess some people have very sensitive taste buds."


"I started this 4wks ago.  I have lost weight and sugars are down.  The side effects are awful and almost unbearable.  I hate it.  I called the doctor and told her I have indigestion from hell gas, stomach bloating, explosive diaharra, nausea. She said to hang in there it will get better.  I took the last shot today and already feeling the side effects.  I want to know why the hell a company would make medicine like this.  I will never take this again.  Very displeased"


"This medication at 50mg wasn't working well for my insomnia.  It worked sometimes but was that just fatigue from a sleepless night before.  My MD increased to 100 and I started to get mean and sometimes violent with my spouse.  I did not take it on a regular basis because it gave me really bad the dry mouth.  I do not take it anymore because of the hostility.  I have read through all the threads and only 1 other person had that effect.  Maybe it is because I am on Lexapro for depression.  He switched me to Xanax which works but do not like it because it is easily addicting.  "


"I was diagnosed with Papillary Carcinoma in early 2006. My thyroid was removed and tested positive. I was put on Synthroid and Cytomel for one week, then dropped the latter. I slowly went downhill physically and mentally. I gained a lot of weight, and I could not concentrate for any length of time. I could not return to work. An angel gave me the name of a doctor who would prescribe Armour Thyroid.  Within a week I began to feel better. Soon I felt better than I had in a long time. I returned to work and have stayed healthy ever since. Armour Thyroid is the only way to go for me."


"My doc gave 1 tab daily for 7 days but itching is still there. Now I'm wondering whether it will clear out or not."


"I had unprotected sex and the guy wasn't able to pull out in time. I had just gotten off the pill the month before and I was very fertile/ovulating at this time. I took Ella within the 24 hour window and experienced nausea and headaches in the first 2 hours, then on-off within the next 5 days. I was quite paranoid because I also caught a cold (I rarely get sick) within 2 days, and for some, a weaker immune system may be experienced when the egg first gets embedded. I was experienced some diarrhea but looking back this may be due more to built-up anxiety. My period arrived, just 3 days late.  Sharing this experience for those of you who might be worrying. Ella works, just remain calm, and next time, use a condom!"


"A very simple, painless procedure. Only upon the introduction to my system (which was my first experience) did I experience minor side effects, it's been 4 years now and I love it!"


"I have always had slight anxiety my whole life, then in my early 20's it got very, very bad. Off and on. Last winter was the final straw for me, after many stressful situations, I broke down badly. It was constant. Though by the spring it eased up, during the summer I finally sucked it up and started Apo-Escitalopram. I was prescribed 10 mg but refused to take the whole pill. I only take about 2 mg a day, and have for 6 months. However, that small amount worked well, surprisingly. I noticed after 2 months, situations that would bother me previously only mildly bugged me, if at all. It felt great not to care. Only the past few weeks I have felt it may not be enough, now that it's winter. Considering a small increase."


"I had my first implant in November of 2012 and haven't had a period since and I'm now on my second implant. I had a light, irregular period before but this has completely eradicated them and I couldn't be happier. I've had monogamous sexual partners ejaculate inside and I've never had anything close to a pregnancy scare. This birth control is honestly the best thing that's ever happened to me. Honestly the numbing shot is worse than the actual incision for inserting/removing and just left a small bruise. I can't tell if it's affected my mood because I am on psych meds for other reasons and was before I started nexplanon. No weight or gain or acne either. This thing is a miracle for me."


"I lost 5 pounds after a month of using Tri-Nessa. It was the 3rd or 4th birth control I tried, and the only one that keeps my period under control. With the other birth controls I tried, I had 2 periods per month! Not fun when you are a newlywed!! I have been taking Tri-nessa for 4 years and have not gotten pregnant. The only complaint I have is lower sex drive, but there are ways around that! ;-)"


"Prescribed 25mg quetiapine for my labile mood for 2 weeks, then dose upped to 50mg after the 2 weeks.  Initially after the first week on 25mg I felt great - like a cloud lifted, then hypomania set in: initially I took advantage of the positive effects - blitzed the house, loads of crafts, focused at work. Then the reckless driving and spending began. Once started taking 50mg at night, stupor, tinnitus, muscle cramps in left leg, heart palpitations, dizziness, blurred vision, that horrible head fizz you get with some head meds; hypomania carried on - insomnia and racing mind, spent £2k in 2 weeks.  Intense irritability and nausea. Last weekend was spent lying down and barking abusively at my poor partner. I made the executive decision to stop"


"Has an uncomfortable side effect shortly after taking it, where muscles, particularly in lower legs/feet, tense up. Goes away after a short while. Overall totally worth it."


"It is very useful for treating dental abscess but a combination will work better, along with  amoxicillin. Flagyl alone might not be good enough."


"I have been on Belviq for one month and I love it! I have lost 10 lbs and over the holidays no less. No cravings, low appetite, and my mood is better!"


"I have had a hard time adjusting to it. I have been taking it for about two months 500mg twice a day. I am always tired and if I don't sleep enough I am sick all day. I am hungry all day but almost everything nauseates me, and I get discomfort pains in my lower stomach. I usually can handle the pain and discomfort but since we've been trying to conceive for five years, all the symptoms similar to pregnancy plays games with my mind. Aside from all that, I still plan to take the medicine for as long as it takes. If anyone has the symptoms similar to mine please let me know, anything you are doing to make it easier. Thank you."


"I've have nexolanon in since the end of this February. I didn't have my period the first two months, but since then have had light bleeding during the allotted time of my normal periods. Sometimes I'll randomly spot here and there, which can get a little annoying. The only side effect that I've really noticed is my mood swings. Other than that I love this product! I'll be renewing it oncey three years is up. It really is hard to determine whether or not nexolanon is right for you. Everyone reacts different so my advice is to try it out, and if it doesn't work for you then just get it removed. Good luck!"


"After taking my 4th dose I had a stroke. After testing there was no clear reason for the stroke and trulicy was my only new medicine. I wouldn't take it until the risks of stroke from this med is determined"


"I became very ill and had to go to a hospital."


"Lunesta is a wonderful medication;  I have used it daily since 2006.  It works just as well today as when I started.  I fall asleep quickly and sleep the entire night.  Waking up is no problem. The taste in the early mornings is there but I don't mind since this drug works so well.  For those whom insurance doesn't cover, go to Lunesta website for coupon. "


"I've noticed a wide range of comments from no side effects to tons of side effects and I think everyone's body chemistry is just different and you have to fins what works for you.  I haven't had any side effects so far and have been on Reclipsen for 2 months but I also have a lot of hormonal imbalances that I'm trying to correct due to having a brain tumor and surgery to remove it.  My hair has been falling out and I've lost 25 lbs since my surgery (March 25th) so nothing I am experiencing can really be contributed to my birth control."


"I used three medications for my asthma but it seemed like they're not effective anymore.  This medication was prescribed to me at the Urgent Clinic and I loved it.  I can breath freely and I can walk or go upstairs without having to breath heavily and feeling tired. Was going to give 10 pts but the puffer clogs.  I wish they could do something about it because it's kind of expensive.  It really works for me and I don't suffer any side effect, thank God."


"I'm not saying the medication  doesn't work. It does not go down very well. I went to swallow the medicine at work with a bottle of water and it stuck to the roof of my mouth and caused me to choke  and I passed out. Lucky I was at work and my fellow Coworkers performed the Heimlich on me and saved my life. This pill needs to be coated better because it does not go down smoothly at all. It has a roughness and it tends to stick on to your tounge making it very easily for a person to choke."


"I've found that it works great for my headaches. I take it with Phenergan for nausea. Works really good for me."


"I got my Nexplanon on 04/21/2016 and haven't stopped bleeding since. Luckily it's not heavy bleeding it's light, but the downside is it makes my blood smell bad I know TMI but I just want to put that out there for those considering this form of birth control. I used to have a head full of hair but since I've been on the Nexplanon I've noticed that I've been losing so much hair to the point that when I put my hair in a ponytail you can see the side of my scalp a little. I haven't had mood swings, weight gain or a decrease in sex drive. Just the bleeding a hair loss have been my major issues. Having it taken out 06/24/2016, I don't think I can handle anymore of this!"


"Worked OK!  Little blurry vision but not bad!  Slept good 6 hours!  Ambien is a lot better just sometimes you do things and don't remember the next morning!"


"I was prescribed Hycodan tablets for bronchitis 30 years ago and have never been prescribed anything that works as well to get a good nights sleep when I have a bad cough. When I ask for it, even when my doctor prescribed it by name they didn't have it in tablet form at my pharmacy. I end up with Vicodin, which does not work as well to stop the coughing. They both make me sleep, I would never take it in the daytime. "


"Been on 75mg for 12 years. No problem. When I had the gland removed I was told not to eat Brussels sprouts, I asked why? The surgeon said 'you will soon know' about three years later while out for a meal I unintentionally ate one sprout. Five minutes later I was sick, passed out and ended up in A&E. Nobody seems to know why, but it certainly happened."


"I was a major addict (meaning like 5 blunts a day), and was having trouble quitting. Every time I would stop smoking I would have major anxiety attacks. I would get super angry over small things, snap quickly, yell at my girlfriend, and crave smoking like crazy because I knew the anxiety came from not smoking. As soon as I started smoking again I would feel fine. So I quit again, but this time I started an Ativan regimen and am now smoke free. The side effects of feeling tired or a little lazy, doesn't compare to the side effects of smoking, being a bum and having no motivation. I wonder if this would work for cigarette smokers?"


"I have struggled with depression and obsessive compulsive disorder since I was 11 years old. I'm now 21, and this is the second time that I have taken Zoloft. It has worked wonders for my obsessive and anxiety ridden nature.
Originally during my trial and error phase of trying medications, I stopped taking Zoloft at one point because I experienced the numbness and headaches, etc, that are typical of SSRIs. However, after finding that no other medicines (including other SSRI's, antipsychotics, and even anti-seizure medications) reacted as well to dull my OCD, I resumed Zoloft to give it a second shot. I could not be happier with its results so far. I would recommend this to absolutely anybody who had difficulty with OCD or depression. It has saved my life."


"I had a terrible experience with Rhofade. I went to a dermatologist because of mild symptoms of rosacea. I used Rhofade for 4 days, and it made symptoms 10 times worse. I looked like I had a bad sunburn and pimples. My skin was also dry and burning.
   I stopped using it and I bought Eucerin Sensitive Skin Redness Relief Soothing Night Cream, and Eucerin Redness Relief Cleanser from Walgreens. They are helping. Now my skin is just a little pink in some spots."


"I've been using this pill for approximately 2.5 years. I have never had any trouble with it, never gotten pregnant. Disclaimer: I DO take it everyday, hardly ever skip, and when I do forget, I double up the next day, so I think I've got myself covered. I did not experience weight gain (but I'm pretty physically active 5'3 120lbs). Cramps, well sometimes but not bad, no problems with acne, no mood swings (unless I'm ON my period, but that's a given). If you're young and seriously unprepared for the risk of having a child, I would recommend making sure your partner STILL uses a condom even if you're on birth control, trust me (3 Years and its worked for, knock on wood)."


"I had been on Lexapro/Celexa/Citolopram for the past 10 years (maybe a couple more) and it was fabulous!  About a year and half ago it stopped working for me.  I had tried Wellbutrin before the L/C/C and it was horrible for me - like wanting to hide in a corner under a desk paranoia!  My doctor sugested Viibryd after the L/C/C stopped working and so far so good.  I can't attest to the GI problems, and I don't know if I have the night time issues (I sleep like a log and am single so no one is there to tell me what is going on while I'm sleeping).  I do have sleep issues, but not related to Viibryd.  I have found that the Viibryd doesn't help with anxiety/anger issues, so the doctor suggested adding L-Theanine and that helps tons!"


"I got nexplanon July 8th of this year it has been a living hell I been bleeding continuously off and on spotting.  It also has given me the worst acne EVER my face will clear up and then a day or two later come back! I also have experienced pregnancy like sypmtoms such as nausea, and sometimes actually vomitting! I also have the worst headaches and sleeplessness. I would not recommend this product to anyone! Its not worth it try condoms or abstinence"


"Panic disorder patients should look into a low dose of Klonopin."


"At first I got fantastic results.  I have severe Raynaud's and was basically house bound.  It even presented in warm weather.  At first the Norvasc totally removed the symptoms.   They seem to have come back, however, and it is mid-summer.  I also take Ritalin for narcolepsy and I fear that it may be causing some of the symptoms.  I would recommend trying this medicine for Raynaud's.  I take 5 mg per day."


"Omg I have been sick since day one of taking this shot I do not recommend to anyone! Unless you like to vomit and have diarrhea 24/7 BTW that's how you lose weight you can't eat or stay off the toilet.. No no no more shots for this lady"


"I was prescribed BuSpar by my doctor and I am hesitant to take it. I have seizure disorder and take Dilantin (phenytoin). My doctor is aware of this, but I have read that BuSpar may negatively react to the seizure medication. I hope it works and doesn't interact with my other medicines. I have been on benzodiazepines such as Klonopin and Xanax and built up a tolerance. I was taking unusually high dosages and was recently weened off. "


"I've been on this pill about 8 months now. It's my 3rd birth control. Tricyclics give me bad migraines and I was on minastrin before this. Minastrin always made me really sad for no reason, too nauseous to eat, very moody and depressed and had no period. Cryselle was such a big turnaround for me. I'm back to my normal happy self, periods only last 1-2 days rarely any cramping. Only thing I noticed was a little bit of weight gain but that could also be from switching as the last birth control made me too sick to eat half the time."
