"Have had Crohns all of my adult life (+35 years). Taken everything from prednisone, methotrexate, 6mp, aszulfadine, endocort, to  Remicade. Remicade was the first medicine to get me to a 5 year remission, however it didn't last. After playing with a cocktail of drugs including compound meds that landed me in the hospital with drug induced hepatitis, my doctor prescribed Humira. After getting used to the injections, I found it worked the best. I've been in remission for 5 years and recently had a clear colonoscopy. I'm so happy.  It was a miracle!"


"I was prescribed epiduo about 3 months ago. All it has done is make my face 10000 times worse. I understand that it was a reaction the first two months, but now it is out of control. I went to my demertorolgist and the prescribed me a pill to take with it. Both have failed miserably."


"I have been on Zoloft for 14 years now. It changed my life. It has stopped my panic attacks. "


"I just started taking Zohydro ER 15mg 2 X's per/day. I've gotta say, so far it seems to be working pretty well. I have had two very significant car wrecks since 2004.The second wreck was in 2012 and was pretty much a career ender. I have been taking Norco, various doses (usually 7.5/325 and 10/325) "off & on," for approximately 12 years. I know, a long time, Right?! That said, I believe, speaking only for myself, that I am pretty aware of the effects, and feelings, of hydrocodone. That once warm, euphoric, feeling is long gone; but now the euphoria comes from an greatly improved quality of life, rather than the drug itself.... I probably need to increase to 40mg doses. But Zohydro is "Spot On." Terrific for long acting relief."


"This medication coupled with cognitive behavioural therapy has helped me so much in dealing with my social anxiety/panic disorder which I have had to deal with for over 10 years. By lifting my mood and clearing my head this medication had allowed me to think more clearly and rationally about what it is I'm panicking about, then using my cognative behavioural therapy techniques I am them able to calm myself down and talk myself out of that horrible feeling (hyperventilating/pounding heart/light headedness). I had previously used propanolol to calm me down when I felt stressed but as this is no longer working I had to try something else. I was put on 20mg, 1st two weeks I had a bit of sickness, trouble sleeping but  that passed."


"Excellent results--very calming effect"


"I have been an asthmatic for most of my life (I am now 38 yrs old) and have tried many medications.  Before I lost my insurance I was on singulair and claritin and still struggling.  Several times I woke up gasping for air.  So when I was able to get insurance again I requested to try something else since I was hesitant to say the least in taking singulair again.  My Dr. suggested I try Dulera and Flonase.  Since starting these medications I have not needed my albuterol inhaler once and its been about a month.  I went from using my inhaler sometimes several times a day to not at all.  My mom has osteoporosis (excuse the spelling) and that concerns me for my own health but my breathing is ultimately more important."


"do not take unisom NEVER! Its dangerous. Increase heartbeat. I could not move in the morning. it was so fast! I thought I'll be dead. This pills should be forbidden to sell ut for some reason they are free to buy. I took them twice. after that they went to garbage. now I using melatonin. no problem with it and i can use it every day. UNISOM IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUR HEALTH"


"I suffer from severe peripheral neuropathy.  It is unusual in the sense that it is not diabetes caused, but is apparently idiopathic and hereditary.  I have excellent relief from Lyrica with few side effects.  I find myself nodding out occasionally at my computer or watching TV.  I exercise more, drink more coffee, and allow more time for sleep.  The more I take, the greater the relief.  I take 400mg per day. "


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD. He was having problems at school such as focusing, following directions, sitting still.. etc. We decided to use the Daytrana patch since he isn't able to take pills. This so far is working wonders. He is on his first week and is already showing signs of improvement! I recommend this product."


"I've been taking seasonique for a month now, not for its usual purpose, but to help an ovarian cyst dissolve. So far it's just like most of the other birth control pills I've tried but I have noticed a few side effects. Nothing major, but still noticeable. I've had more breakouts but it's actually starting to clear up so I'm sure there were other factors causing that. My appetite has been stronger than usual ever since I began Seasonique. I try to keep it under control but I just get really weird cravings a lot. Lastly, I constantly have this cramp that feels like the ones you get a few days before you start your period. It's the kind where you can feel a dull ache in your lower back and lower pelvis area. It's not painful but I can still feel it."


"Four days ago I started on Cipro for urinary tract infection. I am allergic to Bactrim. I have taken it before. It is very effective and fast acting, However, this evening I started having side effects. Both legs from about 6" above the knee, down through my feet, ache, tingle, and sting like I have a band around my thigh cutting off circulation. I called the office that prescribed it, due to printout from the pharmacy. He just says if I am concerned, go to the ER. So I am going off it, and waiting to see what happens. I have 6 pills left."


"My lifelong Dr retired a year ago, he prescribed me Meperidine 100mg tabs QID, and MS Contin 60mg TID. Best relief and combo for pain EVER! No side effects, NO pain! He also gave me IM shots of Meperidine 100ng-150mg, mixed with Valium 10mg in office, as needed for breakthrough Crohns symptoms. My new doctor kept me on the MS Contin, but refuses to provide Meperidine. He switched me to Oxymorphone IR 10mg, 1-2 tabs QID as needed. It doesn't come close to providing the pain relief the Meperidine did, for my back, shoulder, and Crohns related pain! I don't know what the big deal is with the Opana, it sure doesn't help me at all!! Show me all the charts you want to, Opana does not work as good as Demerol!, nor anything else I've been put on!"


"I have been on this for quite some time for pain. After I had my gallbladder out, in 2007, I started having constant pain in my right side that feels like a side cramp that you get after running. Anyway...Ultram (Tramadol) has worked the best of everything the doctor has had me try. It gets rid of a lot of the pain and I've had no side effects."


"Hey ladies, Many of the reviews are terrifying and because of that I went into my appointment very nervous. I watched cat videos while waiting for the doctor to come in to help my stressing. (It worked).

So what it was like: the majority of the procedure felt just like I was getting a Pap smear. I tend to be sensitive to the speculum so I had some discomfort with that. Not until the doctor said "okay you're going to feel some pressure" did I feel a strong sharp pain. It was gone as quickly as it happened, just made me gasp a bit. Then one more sensation like that of the actual placement and it was over.

The cramps for the hour afterward were very uncomfortable. Home with ibuprofen and I feel good with slight cramping. remember to breathe!"


"I have developed eczema around my eyes for the last two years.  Elidel burns my skin, makes my eyes water, and makes my nose run.  In other words, it makes it worse for me."


"I started this pill and have noticed serious changes. Moodiness, very snappy, depressed, thinking negative. Although I don't feel nauseous or dizziness."


"I've been on this birth control since February of 2014, so about 14 months now. I love the fact that it last for 3 years and don't have to worry about taking a pill every day, but I am considering getting it taken out. With little to no effort at all I've gained 45lbs, zero sex drive, horrible mood swings with periods of depression. I bled for about a month after I got it put in and have no had a period ever since. I get all the symptoms that I'm going to start my period but no menstruation ever occurs. Every now and then the part of my arm where the rod was inserted with ache badly.While I think this form of contraception works great for some people, I do not think it works for me at all. It feels like the symptoms are only getting worse."


"I have been on a Otezla for approximately 3 weeks. The first week i had severe headaches and diarrhea. After the 1st week the side effects subsided. The skin is clear no rashy red inflammation. Hands not all cracked and bloody. So far i would recommend Otezla. However the winter is the worst time for me so i will let you know how it goes."


"I was diagnosed five years ago as being bipolar and long term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have taken many medicines.  I felt so much better when adding Latuda that I went from 80 mg to 120 mg. I totally crashed. I was extremely depressed. I went off the medicine for six weeks. I started again taking 80 mg. I have been stable for five weeks. I also take lithium, Xanax, and Klonopin.  I stay on a strict schedule of exercise.  I am taking it day by day.  This is one of my most expensive medicines."


"2 weeks in so far and no symptoms. I'll update if anything changes."


"While it prevented pregnancy..but the side effects actually got worse over time. I started out on loestrin 24, which was great after I got used to it. Then I went on Gildess which was okay. Then my pharmacy switched me to the microgestin. It was cheaper so I stuck with it. I think I was on it for 1.5-2 years before I couldn't stand it. I just became so insanely emotional and PMS-y. It started 2 weeks before and my period. I also had the breast tenderness and sugar cravings like crazy. The awful moodiness went away once I switched birth control. I didn't have a lot of spotting- although I also didn't have a period for the first 3-4 months. Had semi bad cramps during the inactive week."


"I have recurrent issues with herniated discs in my spine. In regards to pain management medicines I find this medicine outstanding. With the onset of severe back pain I find I only need take two per night for a couple of nights and the pain literally dissolves. I like diazepam because it does not make me feel trippy and there are no residual effects the following day. I actually don't feel any actual effects of it working. I simply wake up the next day and my pain is gone. I certainly do not feel any sense of dependency on it and happily stop and start dosage as needed. I would recommend this to anyone suffering similar issues."


"Toothache- took the pain away instantly. Very good for a toothache."


"Vivid nightmares vivid daytime hallucinations usually concerning my spouse and other women"


"I decided on Nexplanon because I would forget to take my birth control pills. So thought it would be a lot easier since I wouldn't have to take any more pills. I've had it for a couple of months now. I was fine the first two months and then started bleeding and have been for the passed 2.5 months non stop. For me, it's not worth it. I am sick of the bleeding and not being able to have sex with my husband. It's not fair to him. I am gladly going back to birth control pills and will make myself remember to take them on time everyday. Nexplanon did not work for me."


"Was very sick from antibiotics and large doses of Prednisone to help with the asthma.  Couldn't hold any food down but did take enough water and Gatorade.  Kept losing weight and had terrible abdominal cramps with the nausea.   Finally saw another Dr after 11 days who prescribed the ZOFRAN and all nausea and cramps totally went away.  Finally could start eating again!  ZOFRAN was a miracle med for me! !!"


"This is the only medication that has worked for me. I have taken it on three occasions and it has gotten rid of my headache within 40 minutes. It's amazing.  The only side effect I've had is a slight feeling of heartburn.  "


"Got over the counter for severe respiratory congestion while traveling in Bruges, Belgium in 2012. Extremely and quickly effective. Will obtain additional supply in March 2015 when returning to Belgium. No adverse effects."


"I'm on day 3 of 7, 3x a day. Have taken every pill straight after a meal, & get a mouthful of water before putting pill in mouth - no taste at all other than the 1st time when it wasn't even that bad anyway, just tasted like when you accidentally leave a paracetamol in your mouth too long! As for side effects, I've had a headache pretty much every day but nothing bad that paracetamol won't help and very slight continuous stomach ache (nothing crippling!). No diarrhea or vomiting here, and infection slowly subsiding. I definitely recommend, the side effects for me simply aren't bad enough to stop you taking it at the expense of not treating your bacterial vaginitis."


"Started using epiduo and within 6 months, my face had cleared up and i had perfect skin. Did experience a burning sensation the first few weeks i used it."


"I am recovering from an opiate addiction, and was prescribed Seroquel for sleeplessness (due to it not being a habit forming drug). It has been very effective for me, however I must take it, or cannot sleep."


"My Dr finally approved this prescription. Only to find out my Insurance wouldn't cover it.So I asked the pharmacists how much it was.$ 1,000 for an 8 oz bottle. Guess I will have to live with my nasty toe nails!!"


"I was diagnosed with CMML approx 3years ago and treatment of Azacitidine started 17mths ago... It has stopped me from transformation to AML and I even self inject when oncology dept is closed... So once a month I do the subcutaneous injections.  My bloods are not too bad at all but once when I was off the azacitidine for five weeks, I was going downhill rapidly approaching AML... I was very lucky to be matched with an unrelated bone marrow donor and was supposed to have the transplant in December 2015 but because my heart is not so good (Atrial Fibrillation) there is concern about it standing up to the trauma of transplant... So I'm really hoping that the azacitidine keeps on doing the business otherwise it may very well be my demise."


"Worked brilliantly, I cut down my fat intake a week before starting them & continued this whilst on them, I lost 10lb in my first 2 weeks!! Really really pleased with the result & have just ordered my second months supply. You HAVE to reduce you fat intake to stop any unpleasant side effects, I'm now at the point where I don't want to eat high levels of fat because I don't want to suffer the consequences!!!

Worked for me!!!"


"Positive:

Never got pregnant.

Spotting when first inserted but then no periods for ~2 years. After their return, shorter and lighter.

Don't have to remember to take it every day.

Negative:

Increased appetite. Difficult to lose weight again. 30lbs up from pre-birth control.

PMS before period. Before BC no noticeable change in mood.

Considerably lower sex drive. Libido and lubrication are gone."


"It didn't work for me at all."


"My daughter was taking 10mg for OCD hair pulling, while it did help with the pulling she gained 20kg and could not stay awake which is not a good thing in school. She had no motivation for anything but to eat and sleep. I have taken her off the medication. "


"I had modest improvements in my bladder urgency symptoms. My biggest problem was how it affected my blood pressure. I am a 29 year old female and started having sky high blood pressure readings. I have never had trouble with blood pressure prior to starting to this medication. I had one blood pressure reading of 197/110. Now my blood pressure is still running high, around 155/90. I am going to start cutting the pills in half to see if it will help. One positive is that I only have to pay $20 on the patient assistance program through their website."


"I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at age 14 although I had a high TSH (in the normal range) since  I was born. I was treated with Synthroid and levothyroxine for the past 7 years and I never really thought about how it was affecting me. Within these 7 years I gained and lost and gained again 75 lbs which was due to the depression that Synthroid was causing. I recently began feeling so bad and decided to stop Synthroid and asked my doctor for Armour...one month later and I am as happy and optimistic as I used to be before Synthroid. I have also lost 12 lbs within a month (with proper diet and nutrition of course). I have had no side effects on this medication and I am 100% happy I decided to switch."


"I had the Kyleena inserted about 4 months ago and I am very happy with the results. I am only 18 years old and have never had sex or children so I will say the insertion was incredibly painful because I am not used to anything going inside me besides a tampon. The cramps afterwards only lasted that same day and were bearable and pretty much gone 24 hours later. I have only had one period since the insertion which was the whole point of me getting it because my periods came more than once a month and were very heavy. Since getting Kyleena I have very dull and barely even painful cramps during a period and not as much vaginal discharge either. I will say periods become a bit unpredictable but I haven't even had it a full year yet."


"I have received this pill back in November, I started bleeding on November 23 (about 2 weeks after starting it). I have been nonstop bleeding ever since. ALMOST 3 MONTHS. This is ridiculous. I take it at the same time everyday. It was prescribed to me to help me with my ovarian cyst and it caused even more pain than before. I am switching this pill ASAP, it is junk!"


"Since starting chemotherapy my dr. A specialist at victoria hospital in london has put me on emend. Thank goodness the company sponsors people like myself who would otherwise not be able to afford these 3 wonderful capsules. My nausea and vomiting still exist but far less than if I had not had the capsules available. Once again thank you merck frost."


"I promised myself that if this pill worked, I would share my experience because reading your reviews helped me a lot. I'm only 17 and last week, I had my first time and  the condom broke and he came inside me. 15 minutes later we were rushing to buy Plan B One Step and I took it quickly. The only side effect I had was diarrhea. I was very scared because after taking the pill, we had unprotected sex (I know, that was stupid). I waited 2 LONG WEEKS haha. My period was delayed for two days, and today I got up reading these reviews and thinking that today I would buy the pregnancy test. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom and I saw my period. This pill works by girls. I'm SO HAPPY, relax yourselves, don't think about it! THE PILL WORKS!"


"I just got prescribed this medication. 10mg to start. I'm taking it for my extremely high anxiety and bi polar depression. I have read a lot of review's, so I will definitely stay away from CARBS!!  Hoping this will give me my life back! I'll return in 5 days and give a review on how I'm feeling. Wish me luck!

8/18/17
New update on taking the Zyprexa. Today is day 8 on the the Zyprexa and I have to say, I honestly feel like my old self again. I'm happy, my mood is stable I'm sleeping great! I'm more active now than I've ever been since my 20's. So far I can honestly say this medication is working great for me. I'm actually excited about life again! Also, no weight gain so far and no increased cravings of food."


"I have had lupus since 1986.  Fortunately is has been a mild form.  When I had a job where I had an hour for lunch, I was able to take a 20 minute cat nap and that helped get me through the afternoon.   Now I have a job with only 1/2 hour for lunch.  I was having trouble staying awake in the afternoons.  Then I saw a news article on tv about Nuvigil and it's use on people with lupus.  So, I had my psychologist write an RX for it and it was like flipping on a switch.  My insurance paid for it for a year and now they are denying it saying it off label.  They will cover the Provigil and I've tried that; with disastrous results.    So they would rather I lose my job because I can't stay awake than cover a medication."


"Xanax was a God send when I was in a terrible car accident and lost my best friend. I knew that it was a controlled substance, so that made me wearly. I recently got into a relationship, and my boyfriends whole family is highly addicted to Xanax. They are prescribed them, buy them off the street, and so on. They fight each other for "bars" and pay a fortune for them. The family is a complete wreck. family members had forgotten important things, like family matters, misplacing wallets, purses etc... even getting into car accidents while they're on them. They helped me when I took them as prescribed, but seeing how my boyfriends family act while on the drug, I would be careful."


"The positive and most rewarding thing about Chantix is that it actually works.  I have been smoking for the past 9 years and finally, with the help of Chantix was able to quit almost effortlessly.  By the second week on Chantix, I was able to just quit, just like that.  Today, I do not take them as prescribed (one in the morning and one at night) because I started to go a little batty.  I was driving myself and my poor husband crazy.  Psychotic almost!  Everything ticked me off.  I did not get sick (I ate a meal before each dose) or have crazy dreams which I looked forward to.  But I almost admitted myself into a psych hospital and my husband almost left me.  Nonetheless, 45 smoke free days later I can honestly say that the pills worked."


"I was on Effexor and Wellbutrin for several years and I have gained 20 lbs.  That made me more depressed about myself.  I told the PA I would like to try a new generation of anti depressants to see if anything changes.  It has been a week and I feel great ! My anxiety has been greatly reduced! It is like how amazing life is without being afraid or worrying about everything. I still take the Wellbutrin and that is all I want to take.  She wants to add Ability, that has so many bad side effects...it something to celebrate to not force a smile....good luck"


"I have been on Bydurion, one shot a week, for 12 weeks. All seemed to be going well until the past two weeks when I have experienced sulfa burps (rotten egg smell, gas, and diarrhea. I never know when it will hit. It usually lasts two or three days, (and nights so I'm lacking sleep) then I have a few good days before it starts all over again. I have lost some weight and my blood sugars are down, sometimes too low. But, I am wondering if these bouts of burps, gas and diarrhea are worth it."


"I have taken a lot of pills and so many seem to mess up the head and confuse the body, but Amrix clears the muscle spasm without to many side effects on the body."


"Started taking 50mg sertealine for depression and anxiety, I started getting nausea after the first day, after a week it settled and after 2 weeks I felt a slight change in my mood but it seemed to be more effective for my anxiety. After 3 weeks I started getting some terrible side effects such as a bad stomach and diareha also long painful headaches. Anyway a month down the line I feel a lot better I can honestly say the medication is working although it has it's ups and downs try to stick with it, I would recommend seeing your Doctor to get the medication changed or the dosage changed if it has no effect because it's what I did. My quality of life has become so much better. I try to ignore the occasional side effects! Stick with it"


"Pros: I never became pregnant, I had less frequent and severe cramps and it may have helped with acne although I  started a new regimen around the same time. Cons: within the first month of starting I had a yeast infection and over the next 2 years I would have some kind of vaginal or bladder infection every other month. My libido decreased dramatically and in addition to that I was constantly dry down there. I experienced some dizziness and nausea which is to be expected. Lastly, I became a huge cry baby when I used to be able to count how many times I cried in a year on one hand."


"I am 15 weeks pregnant and got my first bladder infection of the pregnancy, and hopefully the last as I'm sure I know what caused it. My OB prescribed Cephalexin 500mg twice a day for 7 days. I took my first dose last night. I took it on a somewhat empty stomach but because I was going to sleep didn't think too much of it. I woke up feeling a little dizzy and nauseated but already NO pain with urination! I'll just make sure to take it with food from now on. Overall this is a great antibiotic for me, someone who is pretty sensitive to medications."


"After getting a blistering skin rash from Lamictal, Topamax was prescribed.  It did decrease my appetite- I went from 209 lbs back to my regular 135 which I hadn't been in 7 years. This took place in about 10 months.  At abt the same time I started taking it, I was rearended and suffered a MTBI and scored very low on my neuropsych exam. My old psychiatrist retired and the new psychiatrist is against Topamax bc of the "foggy" side effects that are common.  Now, a little over a year later, I feel ok abt this med considering the alternatives- wish there were better alternatives!"


"Age:40 weight:170 pounds height:5' 10" Had heart attack at 35, have 5 stents. Cholesterol prior to attack 280... Have been on max dose of statins for last 5 years and cholesterol has been at 180. No additional improvement with zetia so discontinued.
Started Repatha in addition to 40mg Crestor about 5 months ago. Total Cholesterol has been at about 80 since the first month (hdl 50 ldl 30 tri g 55  ).  No side affects with statins or Repatha."


"MC works like magic, I swear! I tried everything to pass the large hard stool. It was so painful that I gave up hope and headed to the ER. My doctor told me to buy a bottle of MC and to only drink half of it and wait for the recommended 6 hours before going for the other half. That's what I did. After about 2 hours of laying down waiting for it to kick in and half way through these comments I decided that maybe I should just finish the bottle. Except the second I stood up to go grab the bottle I got so nauseous followed by an immediate need to use the bathroom. It hurt so bad "pass the plug" but there was no stopping it. Basically the second I sat down was a hold on for dear life moment. Once that was clear the relief was instant."


"I had tried a number of different prescription meds before Effexor, none of which seemed to help.  I can honestly say this worked the best, and with it I was able to get out of bed and begin to function again.  It really was one of those medications that did exactly what it was supposed to. I continued to take Effexor for three years, after which time I wanted to stop taking it and begin to manage my life without medicines.  This is when the problems began.  I can honestly say that it took me almost nine months to wean myself off Effexor.  I no longer have to take medication but would warn anyone being prescribed this that it is not an easy medicine to stop taking."


"Helped tremendously with migraine and tension headaches!!!"


"Azor is a powerful high blood pressure medicine. Unless you are in otherwise good health, do not abuse. As with all HBP medicines, take before bedtime and do not mix with alcohol or sleep aids. Good luck."


"Voveran is the only drug which relives me from the menstrual cramp. The pain is like a delivery pain for me. I have to take 4 tablets on first day, 2 on second day. I get serious stomach ache with burning sensation the after taking the medicine"


"I take these occasionally for breakthrough pain, but I am prescribed tramadol for everyday chronic pain. I get almost instant relief from oxycodone and when its been about 30 minutes its completely effective, the pain is completely gone, which is a little different than tramadol. Tramadol takes about an hour to kick in. In my own experience I strongly suggest you understand the extreme risk of addiction of this drug, I know too many people that decided they were done with oxycodone for something more potent, and develop some dangerous (and very sad) habits. If your doctor wants to prescribe it, ask questions about the drug and don't take more than prescribed by your Doctor."


"After several months of no problems I have a UTI.  Not sure if it related to the drug or not.

While on this drug I have gone from a 229 cholesterol to 159.

Not sure the ends justify the means but since I can't take the regular drugs for high cholesterol"


"I ended up with Restless Leg Syndrome from Chemotherapy I was having for cancer. My doctor prescribed Lortab because I also had back surgery that I now have arthritis. It works great on both. I only take it at night and it is amazing. 10 minutes and the restless leg symptoms are gone and so is my back pain. "


"I am a 70 year old male and have been taking diabetic medication for 10 years or more.  The last two years I have been increasing my injections with little success in lowering my A1C.  I started using Bydureon 6 weeks ago.  The first two weeks were pretty rough, nausea, tired, headache. Week 6 no ill symptoms.  Blood sugar has averaged 95, I have been taking it 3 to 4 times a day. No lumps.  Needle and pen are pretty intimidating."


"Had to switch off this pill. Gave me cyst like pimples all over my body. I've never had this many breakouts. The first month was OK because I had a very mild period week, minimal cramping. However, by the 3rd month, it's actually gotten worse. I have even more breakouts now. Switching off and never returning to this pill. Horrible reaction."


"Was very anxious and became depressed after my father was diagnosed terminally ill. I started a new job which didn't help with the stress. Was having often panic attacks. Now I feel amazing. I now have my life back. Without this I think I would of had to be hospitalised. Thank goodness. Life is good again."


"This does the job quite nicely!"


"OTC medications have worked better for me than this. This medicine actually had the opposite effect intended. I slept a few hours and was very awake afterwards. It was like I took an energy drink"


"This medication is a God send! I was addicted to pain pills, any kind I could get my hands on. This eventually progressed to a heroin habit that lasted for 15 months. I tried many times to stop on my own, but the withdrawal symptoms are pure hell! I was given a 7 day supply after visiting an ER one night...OMG, it helped and almost stopped every symptom completely! When my 7 days ran out my family doctor gave me more. My biggest issue was the restless legs, and just restless everything that kept me from sleeping. Clonidine takes it totally away for me & I get very peaceful rest. I can finally see myself getting back to the person I used to be, thanks to this medicine! I highly recommended you at least give it a try."


"I have been using Implanon (Nexplanon's original brand name) since 2003 when I turned 37 (am now 50), renewing it every three years until it became Nexplanon. I can report a 100% positive experience all these years, and I intend to continue until I finally menopause. My weight has never fluctuated; periods very seldom - maybe four times a year and very light; maintained my clear skin."


"Started on may 14. 2015 ONE pill per day.. Stating weight 187 lbs !!!!!

Weighed yesterday may 30 @ 183 lbs.. It may not seem alot but considering i have hypothyroidism and i have not exercised at all i think it is great !!!! Soo happy !! The first two days the pills made me feel nauseas and tired and headache but after the 3 rd day everything was great NO side effects!!  I am going to see my doctor in a week and a half and will ask her to prescribe me the regular dose 2 pills a day. My goal is 135' - 140 lbs ..still have a lonng ways to go but i am sure belviq wont let me down."


"After many months I lost my entire sex drive, had hair loss, very rapid heart beats, shortness of breath, all over muscle weakness, sick to my stomach and rapid weight loss and loss of balance I had to stop driving! I caution anyone about how the benefits out way the risks! In will never take this ever again!"


"I am 7 days in to taking Belviq 2x a day. Here's what I have observed:

First couple of days:

1. Pain in feet/joints

2. Tired and slightly slurred words

3. Within 1 day immediately felt less bloated and "thinner"

4. Dull head ache

After 3 days

1. Lost 3lbs

2. Pain gone- more energy

3. Dry mouth starting/ manageable and only seems to happen 1x a day. It's sort of a nice reminder to drink more water :-)

4. While the scale says only 3lbs lost, I physically feel like it's much more. A few people asked me if I lost weight. so that tells me it's noticeable and 3lbs up/down isn't normally a noticeable difference.

5. Headache gone!

After 3 days I completely noticed that I have to remind myself to eat. Cravings for carbs and sweets is so much less"


"I just started taking Phentermine Friday Oct 06th. I am looking to lose about 60 lbs. I have dry mouth and have to force myself to eat as my doctor says to eat 3 meals a day making dinner the smallest one. No sugar, no carbs, and no alcohol. I really hope this works for me. I gained my weight from stress at work and personal life along with the quitting of smoking cigarettes which this pill kinda makes me crave one. I have a plan set up on how much to eat and how many calories to take in a day along with drinking tons of water. I hope this pill works for me. I really want to get rid of this being 5ft at almost 200lbs makes me very depressed and want to get out of that bad feeling."


"Well, With citralopram being one for of the (in my opinion) Less commonly know drugs used to treat depression, I would say it does have some time to build up a reputable reputation in terms of it's reviews and significant statistics. I have used this drug for some time and i noticed a 'lift in mood'. Which totally makes sense as mood is highly associated with depression, or at least managing depression, well that's the case with me. When i first went to the doctors, they did try me with a common drug named fluxeotine, (prozac)(20mg)daily. I found no change in my particular case of depression infact the severety of my issue worsened, so after a bit of a push with the doctor, they decided to try me on citalopram. Thumbs up."


"Was prescribed Lyrica for fibromyalgia.  Since starting it 2 yrs ago, I haven't had RLS!  What a nice bonus!!"


"I have endometriosis and adenomyosis and pain was scary and I became bedridden some of the days.I had my first Lupron 11.25 mg on June 2016.I am suffering following side effects but I will continue this medication as pain from endo and adeno is worse then side effects.
- Swelling at feet
- Weight gain - 6kg in 6 months
- Increased sweating
- Hot flash suffered only first month of this treatment
- Fluid retention
- Carpal tunnel
- Forgetful
- Growth of upper lip hair
- Slipped disc and compress of the right leg nerves

I am going to take second injection soon and after that I will go for Hysterectomy. Btw I am just 36:(."


"Diprivan was successfully used to anesthetize me for a minor procedure lasting 5-10 minutes. It worked beautifully. I don't remember a thing and "waking up" was actually pleasant. No side effects - it wore off quickly and I was running errands within hours. (Probably shouldn't have, but I was able to). I would recommend this drug to my friends."


"Lower BP minimal side effects."


"After switching to Trinessa after years on Triprevefem without issue, I experienced side effects that were like every symptom of pregnancy. I started having unusual menstrual-like and lower abdominal cramps, indigestion, bloating, heartburn that did not go away. I thought I had gained 10 pounds. My breasts jumped at least cup size. I was dizzy and exhausted with intense headaches despite getting plenty of rest. Pregnancy was a minuscule possibility because I had been using backup methods without fail. My period came a few days late and I immediately switched back to Triprevefem. All of the symptoms went away except enlarged breasts, which I certainly can't complain about. My advice: pay out for brand name for some piece of mind and health."


"Dr. switched me from 20mg generic Lexapro to 300mg of generic Wellbutrin XL HCL (bupropion) because I felt a lack of energy on the Lexapro.  I didn't notice any change of energy level with the Wellbutrin, but had many side effects: significant weight gain (30 lbs in 8 months) despite it being "weight neutral"; constant headaches, joint pain, muscle ache, stomach pain, blurry vision, constipation and sleep disturbances.  Switched from CVS pharmacy to Publix pharmacy and pills were different (small white round at CVS, large white oblong at Publix).  Switching to new generic only made side effects worse. Went back to the generic Lexapro and after 3 weeks, all symptoms ceased and weight is dropping back off.  Wellbutrin is not for me."


"I started on Elavil about 15 yrs ago for fibromyalgia. It brought me a lot of relief at first but it stopped working for me. I still take it but the doctor wants me to take a lessor mg. I was up to 100mg but now I am down to 20mg.  She said that the Elavil made my heart beat really fast.  It can also make your blood sugar go up or down."


"I've had the Mirena for 6 months and I have had bad cramps everyday since it was inserted. I have also either bled and had discharge every day to the point I am anemic. I have had trouble getting the doctor's to take it out, so if you are having similar issues, be an aggressive advocate for yourself. My experience is probably not representative. I have had strong side effects from oral birth control pills, including cramps and bleeding frequently. I also have emotional side effects and fatigue."


"I found the easiest way to take this medication and I wish I figured it out sooner.
Freeze the solution until it's a slushy, add crystal light flavoring and eat with a spoon. I went from a glass with ice and iced tea mix with a straw and it took me over 4 hours to drink 8oz to downing 8oz in 20 minutes as a slushy. I found it best to not get anything lemon flavored because you will become sick of that flavor quickly because the solution is a strong lemon flavor. The evacuation was not pleasant but not terrible. I spent short frequent moments on the toilet. The dr says you can actually take as long as you want to drink it, as long as you finish the solution before x amount of time before procedure. drink lots of Gatorade day of."


"I have been taking xolair for 5 years now. It is an amazing medicine. I only have one fully developed lung so I had asthma pretty bad. I am also allergic to elm trees so I would get hives and itching alot when I was outside. No more trips to er anymore and I can go outside and not have to wear jackets in summer due to the trees giving me hives. I have had no side effects so far. All I know is this drug works for me. It has changed my life."


"I switched to Nuvaring because my weight gain with the pill was excessive. When I switched the side effects were fine, the only difference was I had headaches more often but it did help my weight problems. I felt better and had less water weight. HOWEVER, I wouldn't suggest this for someone who has sex often. The doctors told me I could keep it in and you won't feel it and it won't be a problem. Every time I had sex it hurt and my partner could feel it also. So I began taking it out each time, which was a pain. I was always worried I would forget to put it back in and I ended up having to switch back to the pill."


"I was prescribed this medication for joint pain and swelling in the elbows and feet. Took for 2 months. Last week my doctor had to take me off because I developed allergy to the medication with rash and low fever. Worked okay but not worth the allergic reaction."


"My doctor prescribed it for me and gave me samples.  I have been taking the samples while fighting with the insurance company because they want me to try Neurontin first.  I think the Lyrica is really working.  I am still tired, but I feel it is a normal tired from having two kids and running around with them.  The way I felt before, I couldn't move.  I really don't want to use the Neurontin, I don't want to lose the benefits that I have gained."


"My mother in law takes this crap, she from being a very active and full of life person to being a dam zombie, living like this is pure hell for those around her, she will not lift a finger anymore, not even to save her own life, why do you people call this a medicine, the woman sleeps 17 to 18 hours a day. how can this help ????"


"I've suffered for years with allergies both seasonal/environmental and chemical. I carried Benadryl and hydrocortisone in my purse for years.  I recently had issues with my ight hear with vibration and popping as well as hearing my inhalation through my nose in my ear.  I also had awful post nasal drip year round for as long as I could remember. I went to an ENT doc and he prescribed me Astelin.  I take one spray in each nostril in the morning and again at bedtime.  I've been on it for about a month now and I have never felt better.  The hives have decreased, my swollen hands have gone down and my ear is like new! I highly recommend this antihistamine nasal spray. Inquire with your doctor about it!"


"T4 only did not work for me, my body could not convert the T4 to the needed T3"


"I never ever had an issue with acne in my life until I started working after college (I correlate it with the crazy stress at work).  So, I started using 0.25% Retin A about a year ago.  A couple months in, I wasn't seeing the results I wanted; still breaking out, skin flaking.  I emailed my doctor and asked for the 0.5% strength... big mistake. I used that for about three months and my skin could not tolerate it AT ALL.  Regardless, I wasn't about to give up totally on Retin A! So I went back to using the 0.25% and FINALLY got the results I've expected all along.  I always get comments now on how clear and "fresh" my skin looks. Retin A (especially with a clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide cream) was a miracle for my skin. No pimples.. ever!"


"I have been taking Linzess for constipation due to being on pain medication, because I have an internal/external bile duct drain that is exchanged monthly. The medication has worked well until today, and I am miserable. This is the first time this has happened."


"Had to stop use because of rash across neck and arms."

"Just finishing 2nd pack. I have never taken birth control before. I wanted to try it because I have super super heavy painful long periods. The first month I had break through bleeding then it stopped. I have a much better mood now, skin is clearing up. It also helps with cramps, bloating and much more. Hopefully it will continue to be a great thing, only time will tell."


"I've been on this medication for a little over two years and it's been great. It has had very few side effects for me, as opposed to Prozac (fluoxetine). Unfortunately, however, it's been losing its effectiveness as my body grows more and more immune to it, and if I miss taking a dose for one day, I have withdrawals, which is why I give this medication an 8."


"A frequent ear infection victim who is immune to anything in the penicillin family.   BIAXIN works amazing, within 2 days of treatment, the pain and balance is drastically improved and by day 5 symptoms are resolved.
Only drawback is the metallic taste so I tend to keep to soups and lighter fare."


"Ok- I have tried many things to quit smoking  and patches helped me a lot! However even with them I have failed. One thing left to try was chantix, and I was thinking it will make a huge difference! (It did for my friend)!
I have been for 3 weeks on Chantix and had no desire to quit smoking whatsoever! I smoked a pack and half even the third week! I had vivid dreams (but I always do) and I had constipation (which I never have)! No other side effect /that I was aware off! And really my smoking pleasure was the same!
I stopped taking the pill! I felt I gave it a long enough try! I am sure it works for some people but it did nothing for me! And I was scared of the damage it was doing to my body!

Now I am smoke free-cold turkey!"


"To be honest the first month I used this medication it was rough, I fell into a severe depression and started to break out and experienced nausea consistently. After the first month, things got a lot better. Now after 7 months of taking the pill, my before unbearable cramps are almost nonexistent, my period that used to last a full week only lasts 4 days, and all the side effects I experienced the first month were gone within the second. My breasts did go up a cup size, but I did not gain any weight so I took it as a positive. Now since I've switched another pharmacy they gave me Junel and I am very unhappy and want to go back to Microgestin immediately."


"I've been using Epiduo for a month now, see some results but the dryness and redness is bad."


"Saphris seems to really calm my manic symptoms. Especially the racing thoughts and restlessness.  My doctor gave samples of the new Black Cherry Saphris and the taste is 1000 times better!  It's almost pleasant tasting.  And to top it all, I've only gained 3 pounds the 6 months I've been on it."


"I have tried everything to quit. Now after 35 years of smoking I'm done thanx to chantix. I am on m 10 day on the med and 7th day smoke free. Very little withdrawals. nothing like patches or gum its a miracle drug . Some trouble sleeping but two advil pms and I'm out . anyway I thought I would share that with you all."


"I started taking this because my cycle was every 23 days and I heard that it could help with acne too.  I never had bad acne just one or two on my chin the week prior to my period.  But after taking this my acne is worse than it has ever been.  I've been getting cystic acne all over my cheeks and chin.  And the worst part is that they severely scarred my skin and I never scarred before taking birth control.  I've heard that in the first few months it can get worse before it gets better but I'm on my 9th month and it just continues to get worse.  But I do like that it completely regulated my period to a 28 day cycle.  I've decided to switch to a lower hormone birth control to see if that will help the acne subside."


"Very very bad experience with this medicine. Within three days experienced severe nausea diarrhea and vomiting. I have been at home recovering for two days now. Going to call the doctor to get off this stuff!!!"


"I started it and noticed I slept well after first tablet. The 10mg works better for fibromyalgia on low dose apparently (10mg) but anyway I took it daily an hour or two before bed but it did take a good 4 months to get into my system and work on blocking out most of my pain and actually get to grips with my own personal experiences with this chronic condition.  It worked really well on my migraines I  get them occasionally if I eat food triggers wheat - dairy - msg amongst other triggers  but not nearly as bad as before I started taking amitriptyline. I can honestly say its given me back my life and can plan ahead which I have never been able to do before.  I gave it a   10/10.  My side effects were dry mouth for few weeks and I watch my diet because it can increase your appetite"


"Just started today, and know this is going to free me from the ball and chain...I have no cravings since I took the pill and have been a half a pack smoker for far too many years, aprox. 40 !!!. From reading all the side effects most people have and having no cravings right off the bat I am considering staying at 0.5 each day for 12 weeks. I do not like taking any meds but have heard recently this product works. Had set a quit date for next week but that has changed to today!!! Good luck to all, Good Life!!!"


"My experience with amitriptyline I take 20mg in the evening, and it helps my pain tremendously. I can't take Lyrica, gabipenton due to edema side effects. My only complaint is that I can't wake up! It's causing problems with my marriage, and other family relationships. It's catch 20/20. Do I take only medication that allows me to function on daily basis with my chronic pain,or live in pain to maintain family relationships.  : /"


"I was prescribed Sronyx as a way to control the amount of blood I lose during my very heavy periods. I have been on it for about 5 months now and here is my experience with it. I feel very normal taking this pill.

About Me:
-Age: 24 -Weight: 105 -Ethnicity: Hispanic -Sexually Active -I eat healthy -Little to Moderate Exercise

-I have not gained weight.
-Skin cleared up
-No mood swings or depression.
-Sex drive has not changed.
-On occasions I will experience nausea after I eat.
-I still PMS
-NO 'breakthrough bleeding'"


"Immediate relief, so glad my optician gave me a sample to try."


"I cringe when I think about having to take cipro and flagyl. I'm nauseous, dizzy, light headed, ache, and foggy headed. Can't function and sleep all the time. I miss a weeks worth of work because I feel so bad."


"I had an incident where the condom broke and he came inside me, we were both freaking out and about an hour and a half later we went out and got Plan B. I was very nervous/anxious waiting for my period to start. The whole week I was extremely emotional and had period symptoms. 5 days after taking it I started my period. You WILL be worried, theres no way around it, but this pill works! I am currently on my period and I have had worse cramps than usual, but I am so happy to not be pregnant. I am only 18 and I am not ready to have a child yet. This was definitely a wake up call that accidents do happen and you have to be very safe and take precautions."


"I started this last night before I went to bed figured it would make me tired. I woke up at midnight with shakes/tremors. I fell back asleep a couple hours later,  but didn't really sleep. I mean I was asleep but its that sleep where you're really not sleeping because your mind won't stop running. Anyway so I called my doctor this morning and she told me just to take half a pill during the day now.  Today I have been crying non stop and have had to make several phone calls to my mom and husband because I am freaking out. I have two babies under the age of 2. I just want to be better for them.  Please looking for some advice or good words to help calm my thoughts."


"I have been on this birth control for about a month now and it has my private area feeling itchy and burning right after sex . It only happens right after sex. So I stopped using it"


"I took Plan B after a condom failure -- 10 days after my last period had started. I took the pill 5 hours after sex. I didn't have any immediate symptoms. After a few days my breasts became sore and I had some cramping. The cramping felt a lot like my ovulation pain and I started discharging egg-white-like cervical fluid. I was unsure if the fluid was due to the hormones in the pill, or if I had ovulated before taking the pill or despite taking the pill, so I was a little concerned, but tried to remain confident that I had taken the pill in time to stop ovulation. My breasts remained sore until got my period, on time, a little over 2 weeks later."


"Even at massive doses of 200 mg I still didn't feel any relief at all from this. Benadryl or Unisom would be a better option to take for anxiety. "


"I take 80 mg of Geodon in the evening for Bipolar I with psychotic features.  It really helps to cut down the visual and auditory hallucinations though it sometimes makes me pretty tired in the morning. Sometimes I have a hard time driving first thing in the morning. It is worth it to straighten out my mind."


"I have always had cold sores. I have found that the use of Blistex and just as importantly, the ability to ignore the cold sore completely. It seems to become worse the more you press, bite, pick and acknowledge it. I started using Blistex about 7 years ago. During the last 5 years I have had about 5 or six cold sore symptoms, knowing that it is trying to inflame (totally ignoring it) and keeping it covered with Blistex, each and every time it has hardly been noticeable or most of the time, disappeared before it became visible. I share this with most everyone I see with a cold sore. It Absolutely has worked for me!"


"I have had Nexplanon for about 2 months now and my spotting just stopped about a week ago. Constant spotting was frustrating but worth the effectiveness against pregnancy. Lately my problem has been extreme breast pain. Standing up even causes them to be sore. For the most part I love Nexplanon but some of the side effects are hard to live with. I recommend it for people who are willing to wait through side effects and see what happens after a few months. If you don't think you can handle certain side effects then don't try it, they're too common in users. I'm going to see how I feel in a couple months and decide whether it's right for me or not!"


"I used the generic version Amnesteen and find the results are the same as Accutane. I've struggled with acne for about 5 years, 4 of those were in high school. I had super oily skin, pimples popping up everyday, and cystic acne. Alcohol wipes would not work and neither would any topical creams. My dermatologist recommended the treatment after telling her my problems. 5 months later and my acne is completely clear save a few bumps every now and then and a few lingering red spots. My face is no longer extremely oily and my back acne has cleared up very well. The only downside is that I still have scarring on my face and back. However, I highly recommend this medicine to all those who want their acne to be cleared up. P.S. users may get initial acne flares."


"This medicine really did help me. Very effective. Side effects were minimal - occasional, very slight nausea or stomach upset.

The downsides:  (1) Pills are difficult to take:  they are uncoated, stick to your tongue/throat, disintegrate quickly, and taste so indescribably toxic and foul.  I could only get them down by breaking them in two and coating them in syrup or honey, then psyching myself up -- and I'm pretty good with pills.  (2) No alcohol.  Not that it's so important, but this was a drag.

I was sorely tempted to stop after I felt well again, but it is so important to take the whole course.  I felt much better after 24 hours, but not totally recovered until near the end.  Stick with it, it's unpleasant but it works."


"In general I  am anxious and overthink things to the point of having racing thoughts, sweating and in social situations these symptoms are exacerbated and my mind would go blank. I always thought this is just how I am and it sucks. Until one day it all came together and I put a name to it. Social anxiety. I was always afraid of pills and all the addiction stories u hear but after a panic attack I thought it's time. I started a low dose and only take it when I really really need it, about 2/3 times a week. Omg how it's changed my life! If u don't abuse it like some people it does its job! Sometimes I'll go a whole week without it and sometimes I'll use it 4 days. It varies. But it helps me feel way less nervous and focus and really changed my life!"


"I give this a 7 because it does work. BUT be very cautious of the side effects. I was on it for 2 years, first started on the regular dose, then switched to extended release as the medicine would "wear off" throughout the day. While it helped tremendously with my depression and anxiety (it was almost non-existent) the side effects alone were debilitating. I gained 20 pounds, would fall asleep midday (we're talking I had to pry my eyes open to keep from passing out in the middle of a conversation), I was tired ALL DAY. I sweat PROFUSELY and the dizziness I experienced from missing a dose by only a few minutes, plus the heart palpitations were enough for me to stop. "


"Evista was prescribed by my doctor - was on my fourth pill and started experiencing vaginal burning and urinary incontinence.  After an examination I was diagnosed with
vaginitis and a bladder infection. Went off them immediately."


"This is a miracle in a tube! I had moderate to severe adult acne and would have breakouts on my cheeks, jawline, and chin that would leave dark marks for months. I have oily/sensitive skin. At first, the gel burned A LOT and I got a few more pimples, which are side effects of the product. But now after about a month, my skin is adjusting and looks better than it has in years! Little to no pimples and dark marks are fading!
My Routine:
Morning- Wash face in lukewarm water with Dove Exfoliating Soap, then apply Aveeno Clean Complexion moisturizer.
Makeup - e.l.f. Blemish Control Primer and BB Cream
Night- Same as morning routine, but add Differin gel after washing face with soap, and apply Aveeno moisturizer about an hour afterward if needed"


"Typically get 8-10 migraines per year.  Many hormonal, with severe nausea and vomiting. Medication is a life saver."


"Doctor prescribed Zocor to lower Cholesterol (269 total and triglyceride 377, way too high). I took it after evening meal with full glass of water as directed. Within the hour I had a raging headache; my heart was pounding. I could hear the blood pulse through my head (I have 2 maybe 3 headaches per year so this was not normal). I spent a very long and painful, sleepless night, waiting and suffering. I tell you this much, 9:00am couldn't arrive fast enough. Doctor told me "headache" was not a side effect of Zocor and to keep taking it. I stopped against doctors advice and now feel great again. Cholesterol is still very high but no more headaches."


"This is my first time EVER writing a review but I was so happy with this product I felt like I just had to give my positive feedback. I have had problems with sweating for years. I couldn't understand how people could wear T-shirts and be able to raise their arms with ease. I have spent the last ten years wearing clothes that I know won't show signs of sweat. It's been terrible. I finally decided to go online and search and stumbled across Drysol. I read a few reviews and after trying every product on the market I was praying this one would work out and it did. I am so excited about this and my whole new wardorbe I can wear. Thank you so so so much. I wish I could kiss the people who created this product!"


"I had tried most everything for my diarrhea related to Crohn's disease.  It was starting to really affect my quality of life.  I could often not leave the house.  My gastro. dr. recommended this powder.  After the first dose, I noticed a difference.  I am now able to leave the house without wearing Depends!"


"I've been on Imuran for about 9 years now. After trying the medicine Pentasa where I was taking 4000mg day and it still didn't control my flare ups. This medicine has it side effects too but I haven't experienced many other than pain in my joints recently,  which is good since I've been taking Imuran for 9 years!"


"Been fighting fibromyalgia since 1990. EVERYTIME I take prednisone for either asthma, bronchitis or pneumonia I find I am pain free!! Its awesome!! I have no negative side effects. Advisable to take long term to remain pain free?? What do the experts say??"


"This is my 6th month on Generess Fe. I'm 22. It's the first time I started taking the pill. The first 4 months I had some spotting and headaches(only the first 2 months), periods were a bit painful. Since month 5 and now 6 I feel absolutely fine, no spotting at all, ok periods lasting about 3 days. And I definitely have NOT put on ANY weight. I even feel like I lost some since I started taking the pill!! I am regular weight and definitely somebody who does put on weight. So of course I know it works differently for everybody, but don't be scared of the weight gain myth, I really didn't notice any problems with that. I don't have any long term experience, but so far I am happy with Generess Fe."


"As a 20 year old girl, a huge, ugly cold sore is pretty much one of the most unsightly things that could happen to your face.  I've been getting them literally once a month since I was 11, guess I caught it at my gymnastics gym sharing water, and nothing has been more helpful than 2g of Valtrex at the FIRST sign.  No OTC treatment ever shortened my healing time, but Valtrex completely stops the blisters in their tracks. If I take it right when I feel the tingle/bump, it USUALLY never even breaks the skin.  I would highly recommend this medicine to anyone with a cold sore problem."


"I was prescribed this by my doctor as a result of being bi-polar and being up for days on end. Ambien is definitely a tremendous sleep inducer. After a few minutes you wouldn't know if you were dead or alive. I was probably on 5 mg for about a year. When I was on a bi-polar "high" I could three pills and only sleep a couple of hours. I often felt groggy or drugged the next day using this product. I quit taking this product as a result of weird and unexplained behavior.  One time I woke up with no clothes on and couldn't find them. I never slept naked bcuz I was single and had a 17 year old. Scary stuff. u don't know what ur doing on this stuff."


"I'm 19 and have been with my boyfriend since I was 15. I have no kids and the pill  I started  to forget and the hormones just are out of control.
I've had this in for 3 weeks now.  The worse part for me was putting it in. I felt a lot of pressure and discomfort. I had cramping after and all the next day. I bleed for 10 days then it stopped.  I just took pain meds before and after. I would recommend it.
On another note if your man is a big he can feel it a little bit inside of you, but doesn't hurt him just a different feeling. And wait like 2 weeks to have sex"


"I have been working up from a starter dose (12.5 mg) of Primidone to 750 mg over the last six months. Also take a beta blocker (for my heart). My essential tremor Has reduced by 70%. Very manageable now. "


"Awful, awful, awful experience, just like the other reviewers. As soon as I put the ovule in, my vag was on FIRE. My body literally couldn't handle the burning and itching, my legs were even spasming! Not sure if it was the ovule or the cream. BUT here is my NUGGET OF ADVICE...after about an hour of torture, I sat in a warm bath mixed with about a half cup of apple cider vinegar, and felt instant relief. After about 20 minutes of that, I wrapped up some ice and sat on it for another 30 minutes. I'm now feeling 85% better, no itching but a dull burning sensation, and it's been almost three hours since I first inserted the ovule. Hoping it works out, fingers crossed. Good luck, ladies!! Will definitely use the 3-day pack next time."


"Beg your doctor or nurse to try this patch for your chemo, as many have not heard of it yet!!It works wonderful. It is however very expensive and many drug stores do not carry it. None of the popular drug chains have it, I had to go to a large privately owned drug store to get it, about 30 miles away. But it is worth it!!At times it loosens up, the nurse gives me a trans patch to cover it up and that works for the week I wear it."


"Unfortunatily, the drug was not very effective for me.  I experienced side effects, such as eye irritation, itchy eyes, minor swelling, and minor blistering.  This medicine did not reduce my eye pressure."


"I can always count on getting a deep sleep using 4.5g 2x night.  Sometimes I'll use it 3x in a night.  I have used it for almost 3 years.  Just to see if I was addicted I stopped cold turkey and had absolutely no adverse symptoms.  Just to be really sure I have stopped suddenly for a week or so about 3 times in as many years and never a bad reaction.  This is absolutely the best medicine that I have tried for Fibromyalgia, and I have tried so very many, almost all of which had terrible withdrawal symptoms when I went off of them."


"I have struggled since the age 15 with acne, I am now 35 and decided to go to the dermatologist again convinced to start using Accutane. My doctor put me on 150mg of Doryx along with Epiduo at night. I am on day 15 and all of my existing cysts have since gone and had no new breakouts. It is a big pill and have to take it on an empty stomach so some will have cramping, mine are not bad."


"While taking this medication it has helped with my Chronic Migraines. I would have migraines 3-4 days a week, after starting Effexor XR, I only have one every week or two. I think over all it worked well for me as a preventative measure. Topamax, Maxalt, Zoloft, and Imitrex. Only the Effexor XR and occasional use of DHE protocol has worked so far for my migraines."


"Have been taking for a few months now with great results. Little dosage changing. I tried SSRI's and other medications without much luck other than feeling down or drained. Used Trazadone for sleep, I was living like a zombie. With Xanax the sedation wore off after roughly 5-10 days which was the only thing I can complain off. I have been doing better at school, less worrisome tics, better sleep instead of waking up screaming. Longer acting was better for me than a rollercoaster ride of taking a lorazapam or xanax (same dose worked wonderfully for 6 years) and now I just found that this time of my life, I needed something long-acting that I wouldn't have to think about my anxiety or worry about it anymore."


"I started using Lortab and Percocet to control pain approximately 4 to 5 years ago. I then moved on to Morphine, Kadian, Opana, Roxicodone and eventually Duragesic/Fentanyl Patches. I was using up to 400 mg of Oxycontin/day in addition to the above mentioned for "break through pain". I used Methadone when it was available. I started Suboxone over a year ago and it was "the miracle" drug for me. I can't say enough about the Physician and Medication. If you're an opiate addict and ready to get better give Suboxone a try. You won't be disappointed."


"Made my heart race and had severe headaches while taking it. Not taking it anymore, Doctor took me off of it."


"I have been on a variety of medicines that never seemed to help me with anxiety. I have been taking 2mg of Klonopin 3 times a day for almost a year, and they have calmed me down tremendously. I was always anxious about everything, from bills to jobs to family...you name it. This medicine along with journal writing has also helped manage my anger problems too. I've tried to wean myself off of it several times, but I usually end up anxious and frustrated all over again. I just have to accept that Klonopin is now a part of my life for longer than expected. Two thumbs up!"


"About 3 months ago I switched from Suboxone 8mg x2 a day to Zubsolv 5.7 x2 a day . At first I was worried that the lower mg per dose wouldn't work as well but I have to say it works great ! They taste of Suboxone always tastes like crap but I knew soon after taking it I'd be well so after a while I didn't think about it . Zubsolv on the other hand has a pleasant mint taste kinda like toothpaste. The major issue I had with Suboxone is constipation! Always had to take laxatives. On Zubsolv I can honestly say I haven't.  been constipated at all  Zero constipation, which has been one factor in feeling well over all. If I had to choose an over all favorite drug after looking at all the pros and cons , Zubsolv is at the top of the list.."


"So I realized how people never come back to say if the product actually worked or not. Well I'm here to tell you it does. I used this product about a week ago and came here to write a horrible review on how irritated, sore, raw, burning and itchy I was from it. I started feeling these side effects about 1hr after I put the hellish egg in me. After about 2 days the symptoms went away and fully healed my YI. I am completely back to normal. Bottom line is the product DOES work and can heal your systems fully within 48hrs...only if you're up for the painful side effects. Honestly, if I had the option to use this again I probably would because it works CRAZY fast."


"I have used Singulair while on vacation in the Midwest and it rocks, I was miserable. I take allergy shots back home and Xyzal at night but the Xyzal and Claritin were not cutting it. Side effects for me are a dry nose and slight cough."


"Finally I have found a drug that works for me! In 2 months I have lost 25lbs. My sugar levels are at an all time low.

Yes I get some nausea and a little upset stomach but nothing different than before being on other shots/meds.

What I have found that works for me is eating a heck of a lot less. If your not feeling hungry, don't eat unless your sugar is low of course. Eat very small portions. If you start to feeling full, STOP eating!

Very small portions and relax. That's my .02

This is the best drug I have found since being diabetic but being a realist, drugs react differently to the individual. You won't know till you try."


"I had terrible and heavy periods, bad cramps, passing out, missing 1-2 days of work bimonthly, heavy flow. I read a lot about my options and chose Mirena. First insertion attempt didn't work--we did not know I have a steeply bent and narrow uterus but got scans to figure it out. I took naproxen for 2 days leading up to the procedure both times. It was INCREDIBLY painful both times, nausea, nearly passing out. The second time I was on my period which did help and also got a painkiller injection and was much better. I am now 3 months out and only have 1-2 days of very light bleeding/minor cramps, no weight gain or general discomfort, I'm hoping to end up with no periods at all. I would do it over again 10x, totally worth it for me."


"Can't recommend. The mood swings and fatigue were nothing compared to the violent nausea I experienced when taking this pill. I actually mistook the symptoms for food poisoning for the first couple days I was taking it. I figured my body would adjust eventually, but after a couple weeks I couldn't handle it anymore. The sickness subsided immediately when I stopped taking this pill.
Estrogen can irritate the stomach, so it might just be that I'm particularly sensitive. I'm now taking a progesterone-only pill and so far no upset tummy. :)"


"Lorazepam has saved me from anxiety many times. I personally believe this medicine is best used when needed rather than every day. When I take 0.5mg, I feel relaxed and my mind is clear, all my worries seem minuscule. It seems to slow down my cycle of constant worry. It does take about 45 minutes to really kick in, and peaks about 2 hours after taking it. The effects last 4-5 hours. If I take 1mg, the amount it lasts stays roughly the same, it's just a stronger feeling and does make me very tired. Taking it when needed is a life saver. However, I have taken 0.5mg every day for a week once and when I stopped, I felt a slight increase in anxiety and other symptoms such as insomnia and diarrhea that lasted 1-2 days. GREAT when anxiety is unbearable."


"I started taking tri-sprintec because the pharmacy I switched too no longer carried tri-prevfem. My first month was fine no changes. However my second month on the pill my I went through a super tampon! Normally I barley go through a light. My cramps are horrible and I have a headache that just won't quit. My limbo is also way the hell down from where is used to be. The only good knews is my acne is slightly better durning pms. I am completely miserable after I finished this pack I am switching."


"Started 10 mg in 2008 increased to 20mg in 2010. Only side effect occasional dry cough. I sleep very well at night. I take my pill every morning. White male age 62."


"Worked wonderful to get rid of my headaches! For the first time in nine years I didn't have daily headaches. The side effects were awful though!! Ringing in the ears, dizziness, flushing, numb face/hands/arms/feet, the list goes on and on. My doctor had to wean me off of it."


"Was given this in the ER for nausea. It killed the nausea, sure, but I was so anxious! I felt as though if I stayed in that hospital bed another second I was going to go crazy. When I was released I raced home and took Xanex to try and combat the anxiety. It's been about 26 hours since I was injected and I still have the urge to move and run around, like restless leg syndrome. I'd rather just be nauseous!"


"Just got the shot today, sore where I got the shot at but I'll keep y'all updated"


"I been on Methadone for 13 years and is only Drug that helped me and Doctors say I will always be on this Medicine ,  1 dose of 150mg in morning and I am Great all day and Night !!"


"This medication is truly amazing. I have been taking Tecfidera for over two years and have had no new flare ups, only mild symptoms of MS (tingling, slight numbness). Taking a pill is much better than injections that cause flu like symptoms. The only side effects I've experienced are flushing (which stopped for me after about a week, but comes back if I miss a dose) and occasional diarrhea, which is...inconvenient but manageable. I highly recommend to anyone with RRMS. Though expensive, but there are assistance programs .
"


"This medication has helped me tremendously. I'm not sure how I lived without it. It took about a week of me taking the medication for my symptoms of OCD to improve, and ever since I have felt 99%. Once every few months I have my 'alright days', but then again, I do have my consecutive couple days that I forget to take them before I fall asleep.... :S :)"


"I have MS and often shake. I have a full time job and often had to listen to people ask me "had a little to much coffee?" or "are you cold?". Since I started taking two doses of Topamax - one in the morning and one in the evening my shaking has greatly diminished."


"My boyfriend and I were having sex with a condom and we thought everything was fine. When he finished, he pulled out and right away I noticed a wetness dripping down, and so did he. The condom had a hole in it that we did not see; he had completely finished inside me without either of us knowing. I was so stressed and we were both very scared but the next day (within 15 hours) I took the pill while I was eating, went home and felt extremely fatigue and slept for 12 hours straight, and got my period right on time (4 days later). It really works, so don't stress girl! You might experience some cramps, but it's normal."

"I have been on this form of birth control for about 5 months now, and so far so good. It has cleared up my skin completely, and has made my periods shorter. Although I have experienced headaches and dizziness. I have yet to gain any weight, or experience any other bad side effect. I would recommend this birth control if you are wanting to clear up your skin and not get pregnant."


"I am on my final week of active pills on my first package, I have had more bleeding in these three months on this pill than I would have had with a normal, monthly cycle. Beginning with week 5, I had 16 days of active bleeding. The rest of the time there is always some evidence of bleeding when I use the restroom. I wanted less bleeding, not more. I don't have any other side effects."


"I have been taking Pristiq for about three weeks now and it's been fantastic! I just feel normal again. I feel like I am back to my old happy, friendly self. I no longer feel panicked when I am in a very social situation and I'm not scared to try new things anymore. Overall I just feel very balanced. I can deal with stressful situations and get over them a lot more quickly. I don't dwell on them all day. I'm also a lot less cranky."


"Within a matter of days my Psoriasis completely cleared up and as soon as it did I was able to completely lay off the prescription and not have reoccurring symptoms. Very pleased with my outcome."


"My experience with Eliquis was AMAZING!  I had no side effects whatsoever.  I switched to Eliquis from Xarelto.  On Xarelto, after 3 weeks I was in so much pain from head to toe, a deep arthritis type of pain and such severely deep menstruation even though I had started menopause 6 months before starting on Xarelto.

I'm so thankful for Eliquis!"


"I had pretty consistent high BP readings. When saw doctor, it was 177/110. He prescribed Azor, and in 6 hours I was down to 130/85. A MIRACLE TO ME. Thanks for this great product, no side effects after almost a year."


"I had the Skyla put in on 3-16-16. During insertion I experienced the worst cramping I've ever felt & I got hot sweats & almost passed out. I felt miserable cramps for the next few days & bad bloating. The first 2 months my periods lasted 8 days & were very heavy. Since I got it almost 3 months ago I have gained 15 pounds while still using my same workout & eating plan. Also my boyfriend tells me during sex he can feel the wires poking him and it kind of hurts. Not only that I have felt slightly bloated since the placement of Skyla. I thought I would just wait till the 6 month marker but I this point I am sick of feeling this way & gaining weight. I am having it removed tomorrow & going back to pills which I've been on for the past 3 years"


"I was initially put on Tegretol only to have it stop working after about 3 weeks.  Dr. added Neurontin and eventually had surgery to remove the blood vessel and wrap the nerve.  Best of luck to anyone with this terrible condition."


"So far after a couple of weeks it seems to be working fine for me."


"I have had psoriasis for 45 years, since I was 10. I have had 3 injections of Humira and I don't see much clearing. Maybe I need to give it more time? Doctor thinks I'll be clearer in November,y next appointment. I'm doubtful."


"I'm a 43 YO F. Started Sat, 4/2/16. Was at 233 & am down to 213.8 6-weeks later. Takes some adjustment getting used to the med & new lifestyle. Experienced nausea, constipation & body shakes, but went away at full dose. Full dose is when weight started dropping fast. I will experience nausea if I eat greasy/fatty foods so I avoid them. Track my calories. Reevaluated eating habits & make better decisions.  It stopped my cravings & makes me eat small portions. Practice moderation. Not a miracle pill, takes commitment & dedication to healthy lifestyle. lNS doesnt cover but the Scale Down program makes it $70 to start. Not sure how you can review a drug fairly the first week.  There's going to be adjusting & for me it's been worth it."


"Klonopin has been great for both the anxiety and agitation associated with my Bi-Polar symptoms even on the lowest 0.5mg dose. "


"I have used Maxalt for the past 7 years and I swear by it.  If I feel a migraine coming on I put my melt into my mouth and I am free and clear in less then 15 minutes. Some people call this medicine Migraine Gold.  To me it is a lifesaver."


"I was diagnosed with pneumonia after a few days of taking amoxicillin because of being mis-diagnosed with acute bronchitis. Before I started taking the Avelox, I had a fever of 103, a pretty bad headache, and was super tired and didn't want to do anything. My doctor told me the Avelox would make be even more tired.  For the first 2 days it did, but my fever also broke and my headache went away. Also started coughing up more and more phlegm. By the 3rd day I started feeling better but still had a cough and was just a bit tired. It seems I missed out on some of the side effects but I did experience a bit of dizziness in the beginning and a loss of appetite. I'm on day 5 of my 8 day dosage. Going back to the doctor Thursday morning."


"I have used the patch for about five years.  Unfortunately, because of cost and no insurance I had to stop using it.  Unlike the last person, my sex drive was low while using it.  I loved the convenience of it- put it on and forget about it until next week.  The little bit of adhesive residue was not a problem for me.  I too also alternated from one side of the pelvis to the other.  There was a brief period that I experienced a side effect even with alternating.  The area under the patch would become inflamed and would itch.  It might have just been a bad batch of adhesive, because it has never happened since.  I would highly recommend Ortho Evra."


"Advair is the only thing that has gotten my asthma under control. It gave me awful muscle cramps, but my nurse practitioner. let me try a muscle relaxant for that (I take a small dose of Tizanidine) and it works wonderfully. "


"Went to the e.r for a really bad stomach virus. They have me reglan trying to stop the vomiting. I felt like I was freezing. My boyfriend stacked 10 blankets on me. I felt something was terribly wrong, I RIPPED MY I.V OUT AND STARTED RUNNING OUT THE HOSPITAL. I thought I lost my mind. After they grabbed me and knocked me out with benadryl I slept for 24 hours. STOP GIVING THIS MEDICINE!"


"Im 19 and have been having heavy and painful periods since forever! I got my depo shot last month and I spotted yesterday at school. I was with my boyfriend but glad i took a good shower that he didn't notice...i hope!!! But same thing happened today morning too!! All that's happening is my head is hurting alittle but it started of brownish to a proper red. I really hope its not for long!!!! But in terms of weight gain, i have been eating alotttt more and my mood is a bit harder to control. I wont take the shot anymore, ill go for the pill but I would recommend dealing with the cramps and flow unless the doctor says something"


"I started on zoloft over five years ago when I had uncontrollable mood swings then changed to pristiq.  The zoloft stopped the mood swings and I fairly quickly changed at the Doctors suggestion to pristiq and the improvement in my functioning continued - far better than I was before.   About 4 months ago things were going so well I thought I could stop taking it and after speaking to the Doctor slowly reduced my dosage until I wasnt taking any.  I then experienced a strong return of depression, anxiety and lack of drive.  I am now one week into taking pristiq again and havent experienced any change yet but didnt expect to as it can take six weeks to work. On my previous experience with pristiq I highly recommend it."


"I have only been taking this medicine for two weeks and I love it. My sugars went down right away. from 224-295 to 146-185. I am sure that it will keep going down, My last A1c was 10.6, I can not wait to see the next one. I have some nausea on the day after and a little on day two, but nothing that is horrible. I am still able to eat and I have never thrown up. As for the nodules I rub the area really well after the shot and I do not have any. I use the top of my leg right about my knee and have not had any problems with that either. I love this medicine."


"I've been having chronic yeast infections, for about 5 months up until about a month or so ago; took and used (using right now), the Monistat 7. Maybe just me, but I've had yeast infection stings, burns, etc. worse than the cream, it's honestly not THAT bad. Still extremely curious on what's in it and what it does inside of you."


"This is a wonderful product for adult acne. It does not leave your skin overly dry, but rather refreshed and silky smooth. I use it twice a day and have experienced the best skin appearance since I developed acne over 18 years ago."


"I posted earlier when I started and now it's been about 6 months so thought I'd update. After 3 months the non stop bleeding and spotting did stop. I have gained some weight but nothing that isn't manageable. Also the bleeding during sex. My period hasn't stopped tho, and I get it monthly usually with in the same week. Usually a few days later than the last. The biggest symptom I have had though is that my boobs two weeks after my period will hurt so bad. So bad and last till my period comes. Doc recommended small dose of evening primrose, of sodium tablets. Might give it a try. If you can stick out and your body isn't telling you to give up after 3 months it does get a little better. Least for me...."


"Just over a month a go I went to see my GP after several weeks of battling my old foe the old black dog was not only back he was barking loudly.

I was I admit surprised that my GP who I have only known for three years and who hasn’t previously seen me depressed spotted my change in mood before I had had chance to tell him how I was feeling.  I walked out holding a script for a new drug Pristiq and began the medication the following day.  My next appointment to see how I was coping was for last Monday.  One of the side effects of Pristiq is according to the warning sheet my pharmacist gave me was hyper-wakefulness.  Needless to say I had a paradoxical effect I have spent a month falling a sleep during the day.  Later sleeping eight to ten hours at night.  Due to the most awful pharmaceutical hangovers I needed to get up at 6 am in order to be in a fit state to drive by 7.30. My doctor found this interesting but urged me to continue taking the drug as he felt sure it would help my illness saying I needed to be on it for twelve months.

However, in the past seven nights things have gone from bad to worse. Every night has been disturbed by the most frightful nightmares. Night sweats and terror on waking from the most vivid of horrors.  On Friday night I lay awake forcing myself to stay awake, I was far too frightened of returning into this new nightmare world to sleep.  My fearful dreams kept me from my bed the following night for several hours I finally went to bed in the early hours I slept fitfully my dreams were again frightening to say the very least luckily I can’t recall them in detail by midmorning.

It was on Saturday that I decided that enough is enough depression is more than sufficient without entering a nocturnal world of fear and torment.   While I was only on Pristiq for five weeks it was five weeks I’m not about to forget any day soon.

When the treatment is worse than the illness it is time to stop; take stock and in my case back away.   I know that I most probably should have spoken to my doctor but it was Easter and I couldn’t see him so I made my own decision. Now only time will tell if my decision was the right one.

But one thing I do know is as a drug Pristiq is not for me.  Even at its loudest a barking  black dog is less scary than a night on Pristiq."


"I started taking the medication five months ago at a starting weight of about 325 and have lost a little over 70 pounds since then. Only significant side effects have been dry mouth and increased thirst which I count as beneficial because they have caused me to significantly increase my water intake. Weight loss was very rapid at first (probably water weight) and then leveled off to 2-3.5 pounds per week.

Qsymia definitely helps control hunger, but it does not eliminate your ability to eat a lot  if you chose to. It just gives you the choice.  So you have to do your part by making diet changes (limiting portion sizes, eliminating sodas, limiting sweets and fast foods, etc.) and exercising to the extent you are able to get results."


"It is a hard treatment to do. I don't know yet if it is effective or not. I'm in my 6th day taking this medicine.  I'm not able to work. I have a lot of side effect: headaches, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, black stools, dark urine,etc. I already read  the prescription again and it says:" Do not have milk or dairy products while you are taking this medicine." I'll avoid these products and I hope to feel better."


"I HATED this birth control. I was on it for about 6 months until I finally realized how much it was effecting my everyday life. It was the first type of birth control I had tried so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I was at the point where I was bleeding EVERYDAY. My mood swings were off the wall and I gained at least 15lbs in a span of that 6 months. I was exercising and eating the same, which is why I know the birth control caused this. Right when I got off of it, all of those symptoms went away."


"I contracted the hep c virus between nov2004 and nov2006  possibly using iv drugs ....cleaned myself up dec2006 which is when I found out I had the virus.  9yrs later I was blessed enough to get on harvoni...so far I haven't had many side effects from the meds, ranging from light head aches and a little weight loss ,which is most likely due to not being able to eat. My acid reflux meds making it hard to eat a variety of foods....all very minor :)
I started treatment Dec 10th 2015 and I finish Feb 3rd 2016 (3 more pills )
then I go in for blood work to check for detection
I'm really hoping to get this monkey off my back so I can live stigma free.
Thank you to my Dr and gilead  for this opportunity
God bless you All"


"General mood levelling, couldn't really feel any emotion which became monotonous & unbearable. Also not recommended if you have an eating disorder & cannot always force yourself to have it with food. Caused crippling nausea & copious amounts of excess gas to sit in my stomach, this still hasn't left after more than a year of stopping. Not for everyone."


"I began to have heavy periods when I was very young, it was a nightmare to manage at school, because I had to sit through classes for a whole hour and afterwards would have to carefully waddle to the bathroom to change my pad! The first medication the doctors gave was the pill, a year on that and i had gained 1.5 stone and the periods were still too heavy. I came off the pill, lost the weight and began to take Tranexamic acid. I think I have been using it for around 4 years now. I take 2 tablets 3 times a day for the first 3/4 days of my period. The change in flow is dramatic and I really couldn't manage without them :)"


"I've been bleeding for days ever since I started using lutera and it won't stop, it's been 2 weeks"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Just finished with Suprep .  Let me assure you that the worry and anxiety about using it is not equal to the actual experience which while not pleasant, was tolerable.  Here are a few tips that helped the drink go down easily.  1. I mixed it with Propel Berry flavored water which helped dilute the cough syrup meets sea water flavor.  2. I used a straw and took long sips. It took me roughly 5-6 big sips.  Your results may vary! 3. In between sips I sucked on a lemon which immediately killed the taste.  Once I downed the "Colini" I consumed the requisite two 16 oz bottles of water over one hour.  At the one hour mark, the desired effect started.  I spent about an hour and half in and out of the bathroom and was able to have good night sleep!"


"I took this pill 19 hours after our condom leaked.  My period had just ended, so we wanted to be cautious.  I took it on Jan 4, 5 days later I had some abdominal cramping, a severe headache and cramping.  The bleeding and cramping lasted 4 1/2 days.  I also had some very minor light headedness off on of during January, but I'm not sure if it was really caused by the pill or not.  My next period was very late, I usually have a short cycle, about 25 days since I don't use birth control pills regularly it's length is irregular, but mine came a full 7 days after my longest cycle of 28 days.  It started on Feb 2.  I did have more cramping the week before it started.  The cramping was not fun, but at least it worked."


"I am a very young addict, and when I was in rehab I wasn't even aware of the shot. The shot is a wonderful thing. I have had no cravings whatsoever, and I am very hopeful for the future. The shot is not a make everything better thing however one must continue with meetings and work hard everyday at their recovery. Good Luck. Highly recommended."


"I'm 43 and have had migraines since I was 23. I've tried everything, even preventatives (Topamax - hated it) and finally found Frova to be really effective. Then I recently got one migraine that Frova couldn't keep away for more than 12 hours. After 8 weeks of undulating pain, I tried amitriptyline and my migraine finally disappeared after only 2 days. I was also able to get a full night's sleep. Been on 10mg for two weeks now and feel almost back to my normal self again. The drowsiness subsided after about a week. I will occasionally get the sensation that I'm getting a migraine, but it dissipates quickly. No issues with weight gain yet - I actually lost about 10 pounds, but it could be because I've been doing more sleeping than eating lately."


"I have been on singular for less than 1 week.   I have noticed that with the slightest bump I bruise easily.   My mouth is dry but my throat is not closing in.   I have been sleeping better and have been more active.   Still take allergy medicine occasionally, advair and blue puffer.   Wowzers"


"This was my last chance to get relief,  my dr had advised that if we couldn't get the nerve to relax,  surgery was the next option.  The medication helped,  the only thing I would only take this at bed time.  This medication is very strong and makes you very sleepy, but it really does work. I only had to use it for a short time.  I will not take any thing longer than a month and only when I have to."


"My boyfriend and I had sex on October 28th, it was both our first time. Well, the condom slipped and he finished in me so he rushed to the store and got plan b and I took it about 2-3 hours later. The thing is, my period was due on October 22nd and it never came, when we had sex my period was already a few days late. Well last week (2 weeks after plan b) I got a period, it was a bit lighter but the same length, maybe even a bit longer. Does this mean I am ok? I plan on taking a test anyways soon but I just need some input.."


"My boyfriend is 23 and diabetic, only really had an issue with it staying hard for long. Was introduced to Levitra by a work colleague. Works amazingly! No side effects, and our sex life is amazing - very happy girlfriend! He's on 10mg and would recommend to anyone."


"With family history of mild depression, I started using St. John's wort over 10 years ago and haven't had any problems with it; however, lately I have been experiencing GERD and found out that there is a drug interaction between  Omeprezole (doctor's prescription for GERD) and St. John's Wort."


"I was prescribed this by my Obgyn and began the medicine as instructed with 2 at night & 1 the next morning. I woke up in the morning feeling angry and frustrated and was taking it out on my 2 year old & husband. I continued about my morning and took my daughter to daycare & realize something was not right about me. I was dizzy and feeling groggy and irritated. I was out of it for the rest of the day.

I discontinued using the medicine and call my Obgyn the next day who told me I had a bad reaction to medicine.

Bad stuff for me and now still living with the nausea and sickness vs feeling all of that from the medicine."


"I was going to my family doctor for heartburn and try to every prescription in the book for my indigestion come to find out I had Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer. Then when taking chemo I was getting nauseated and still had the indigestion even worse my hematologist put me on this drug and I praise it to this day it's the best thing out there. I am currently in remission but still side effects from the cancer and chemo so I have indigestion problems and as long as I take it before meals and before bedtime I no longer have indigestion"


"Everytime I take my buspar my heart feels like it's pounding out of my chest for like an hour (eventually gradually it goes away) and my chest gets tight, I just started taking it 2-3 weeks ago and this just chest pounding thing only started happening about 7 days ago, it's starting to freak me out to the point where I might just stop taking it all together. Am I the only one who feels like my heart beats a million times a second on this drug? & what else is out there to help specific anxiety disorders?"


"One pill is enough to stop diarrhea."


"Please don't judge this post..I'm here to share my experience with Plan B and provide some hope for others in the same situation I was in. I stupidly had unprotected sex more than once in a several week time span. I took Plan B twice within a few weeks of each other. Up until then I had pretty normal periods and no major issues..After the second time I took it I had insane cramps, back aches, sore breasts, you name it.. I was convinced I was pregnant but all tests were negative. I just got my period..exactly 8 weeks after my last one. So taking Plan B, especially more than once, really messes up your cycle and the added stress of thinking you may be pregnant doesn't help either. I'm also well over the "weight limit" and it still worked."


"I was perfectly happy on Invokana, then my insurance stopped covering it and my Dr put me on Farxiga to try.   oh my gosh, thought I would die, it did not work on me at all. It gave me a yeast infection the first day, sugar stayed high for hours after meals, could barely pee, it made my heart race, and i felt horrible, horrible, horrible. So now I have to try Jardiance, I cant imagine it being worse than Farxiga, I sure hope I am able to pee with this medication."


"I been taking Zegrid and Prilosec for years. I'm one week into Nexium and I feel way better! Whenever I drink something I feel awesome. No more little bit of discomfort. I'm amazed! Haven't had GERD, gas blockage in my chest or gall bladder. I feel like normal drinking cold and warm. I haven tried a soda yet but I did have a half a beer and the bubbles did not bother me at all! It's been years since 2007. I'm so happy and Nexium I thank you."


"I was having a lot of trouble sleeping due to constant hot flashes for months. I felt exhausted all day and at night fall asleep then wide awake an hour later kicking covers off and on. Dr. recommended low dosage and after a few jittery days I was sleeping most of the night and feeling rested in the morning. It's been almost a month and I am so happy to have found something that works. No more expensive supplements that don't even work."


"I am only 39 and had my first heart attack Jan 5th 2017 caused from a %100 blockage and a %80 blockage. I go back Jan 31st for another stint and today 1/28/17 is my first day taking the 30mg isosorb mono er and it's horrible so far . Bad headache all day , sick to my stomach and heart palpitations all day .. really feeling like I should go to the ER...... do not recommend this medication..."
