"I had an ankle injury beginning in Dec 2011, I have had 2 surgeries since.  I used a scooter or a wheelchair to go anywhere.  I had all these excuses why I couldn't lose the weight. I went to the Dr in Dec 2015 & found out my little 5'3" was 289lbs?  My reaction was "when the "F" did that happen & how is that even possible?"  I talked with the Dr about surgery & she said, let's try this medication 1st?  I was reluctant & extremely skeptical but I said ok.  I began taking the Contrave the 1st week of Jan 2016 & this morning (07/01/16), I weighed in at 214. My life is changed forever thanks to this medication. I enjoy my life again & I am always smiling. Best of luck & remember, every journey starts with 1 step! :)"


"I have never seen an antibiotic work as quickly as this one did.  It seemed to work faster than any over-counter-decongestant.  I really had no side effects that I know of aside from, perhaps a bit of sleeplessness the first night or two. I avoided caffeine while using this drug for that reason.  My only concern was the $245 doctor visit for about a 3.5 minute visit with the doctor. I have no insurance, so well maybe it wasn't so bad as I probably would have had to have paid that much per month for six years before the insurance company covered $50 dollars of that visit! Anyway, no matter it was worth it & I will just send them money little by little to pay them off. At least the let the bill get billed to me.  Avelox was a "free" sample!"


"While I was pregnant my breasts didn't grow. I also didn't breastfeed, it's has been 5 months that I had my baby. I stared using Nuvaring 2 MONTHS AGO AND MY Breasts STARTED TO GROW. I WENT FROM A (B) TO A PERFECT (C). I LOVE NUVARING.  I ALSO DON'T GET MOODY."


"Do not take this medicine. After returning from a week long trip to Haiti, I was constantly nauseous, dizzy, had brain fogginess and was fatigue to the point that I couldn't even get through a day of work. I was 20 at the time and had never had any health problems. I also experienced severe depression. It was very scary as I had never struggled with any type of mental health issues prior to taking this drug. I went to multiple doctors after my trip trying to figure out what was wrong, and it took at least a month to realize it was from this medicine. At the time I read from other reviews that some users experienced the same symptoms . Two years later I am 22 now and from time to time have trouble with dizziness, nauseousness, fatigue, etc."


"I have had migraine for 20 years and been on every migraine medicine.  I am diagnosed as chronic with 15 or more migraine days a month. My doctor is very progressive with new treatments and offered zecuity because it is considered to be very clean as far as triptan side effects and no hangover or fog. I was properly trained on how to use the medicine with insuring a good seal, since it is a patch and forewarned that it can be uncomfortable the first 5 or 10 minutes. I put it on, ensuring a good seal. Activated the red LED button. It was prickly for about 10 minutes. Annoying, but not painful. My migraine was completely gone in 30 minutes. I had redness at the active site of delivery but it went away in a few days. No other side effects."


"I'm on day 3 of this prescription. I'm still unsure of any side affects or effectiveness. I've taken adipex many different times, over the last 5 years. I could always "feel" when it was working. This definitely doesn't suppress any appetite for me, like the adipex did. As of now I don't understand what it does. I'm hoping as I increase the dosage, the medication will begin to help with the weight loss. I have noticed, however, that I am very tired after taking it. I'm also taking 25 mg of topamax in the morning, and 25 mg at night for headaches, as well as 20 mg of Prozac for anxiety. My doctor said they were all ok to take together, and that one wouldn't cancel out another.
I will update after a month on Contrave."


"I was prescribed 4 tables 500mg. I took them back to back since taking it as a single dose was too much for me. Not even a couple hours later, I felt a really bad stomach pain. I ran to the rr thinking I just needed to use it, but I did vomit. TWICE. it was a horrible feeling/experience. But if the antibiotic helps then its worth it."


"Xanax has been great for my panic attacks, social anxiety, and sweating because of nervousness and just every day anxiety! At first I was prescribed the ER 2mg Xanax but that did nothing for me! but then I worked up to a 2mg in morning and 2mg at night,  and it's been a great part of my life. "


"I have been taking Zoloft now for 7 Years. I felt almost instant relief for about a week after first taking it only to come crashing back down again. I guess it was some kind of placebo effect. But sticking it out and uping my dose to 200mg a day, after about six weeks I felt so much better. I could function and instead of my mind having 100's of things running through it I could focus on the one thing and work through my problems. My only side effects was an upset tummy. But that passed. I'm grateful for this medication. It saved my life."


"I had a UTI, after taking 2 days of medication, I got an YI. So the dr prescribed my a difucan for it. 5 days later... No relief. I then got miconizol 3. OMG!!! The itching and hiring is unbearable. I really don't know what is worse. The YI  or the cure. NEVER AGAIN!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!"


"I've been continuously on the Depo shot since the end of my freshman year in high school, I am now and Senior in high school. I have had the worst side effects, I've gained over 25 lbs, ALWAYS tired, no sex drive and extremely moody all the time. The only plus to this shot is how it lasts for 3 months and how I never got my period. "


"Remeron at low doses worked beautifully for my insomnia.  At high doses (I was on 90mg. at one point for depression), it was useless for me.  As my doctor once put it, "For depression, Remeron is not a heavy lifter."  But for insomnia, it was a God send.  The only problem came when I tried to wean myself off of it.  I had little trouble until I got down to a quarter pill (0.375mg).  I got terrible rebound insomnia and eventually had to go back on.  It also made me gain 14 pounds."


"I love this medication, it has made such a difference in my life. I was on the Zofran pump while pregnant for hyperemesis gravidarum, it is the reason I was able to carry my child to term. It is the reason we are both here today. I continue to take Zofran as needed for nausea stemming from complications with fibromyalgia, ibs and celiacs. It can cause constipation from time to time, but that is much easier than nausea and vomiting all the time. It melts quickly and within minutes the nausea is gone."


"Sometimes takes several hours to work after being administered but usually relief is dramatic. Best medication I have had to relieve the pain and swelling after an acute attack of gout without having a Cortizone injection in the joint. The injection in the joint is very painful but works quicker, but i.v treatment is the best route."


"At first I slept for about a week and every time I would increase the dosage same effect. I've been taking it for over four years and the side effects are less severe than some other medicines it does not rid the pain but makes it manageable."


"Welbutrin ruined my life. I went from 220 lbs. down to barely 100. I cannot eat. I am literally rotting away. It enlarged my prostate and now I feel like I'm carrying around a grapefruit. It also increased my libido to the point of being completely frustrating."


"I have been in back pain since 2001 after a truck accident. I have been on many different pain medicines. I just recently got on Opana ER 20mg every 12 hours. My pain level has gone down. I also have had a nerve block that didn't help very much at all. My L1-L2-L3-L4-L5 and S1 are buldging and spine is deteriorating. I also have to take Percocet 5/325 twice a day. Not totally pain free yet but better."


"I have been on advair for over 10 years. I have never breathed better. Before I couldn't even walk without being out of breath. I do experience a lot of side effects such as oral thrush, and headaches; however, being able to breathe outweighs the side effects. I would recommend this medication to anyone with asthma."


"A GYN prescribed Brisdelle - it's a low-dose Paxil (7.5 mg) for hot flashes.

This Doctor stated that unlike other SSRI's, I would NOT have complications or side effects going on/off them - in the case of running out of supply. This was NOT my experience. After 3-4 days of stopping, I noted an odd sensation connected to my eyes. I told my opthamologist about a "swishing" sound I heard with any movement of my eyes. I finally found others reporting this all over the internet. This also happened in a previous year with Sertraline (Zoloft) - this 'after quitting' side effect lasted a very long time - maybe a year or more!

THE DUMBEST, MOST WASTEFUL PACKAGING ON THE PLANET. WHY NOT SIMPLY MAKE 7.5 PAXIL IN A SIMPLE BOTTLE?  Pink? Come on!"


"I was on Nexplanon for a little over a year. First, I spotted for six months straight but had no other side effects. Then I had no period for six months, and my libido disappeared. Then my libido started to come back along with my period for three weeks, with intense cramping, mood swings, night sweats and swelling lymph glands. I had it out three days ago and have just realized it also caused me to develop melasma (pregnancy mask) on my upper lip. As birth control it was good but I couldn't handle the side effects. If you show a lot of sensitivity to hormonal methods this might not be right for you."


"This medicine is amazing.  I'm 28 years old and have tried a lot of different medications to clear up my acne but nothing worked until I went on Claravis.  I have been taking 40mg once a day for 3 months now and my skin looks great. I am experiencing a lot of the side effects though, blood noses, extremely dry lips and back pain."


"My dermatologist prescribed Protopic 0.1% for a psoriasis related rash on my face.  Steroid creams would give noticeable results after 1 application.  The Protopic took about 2 days before I noticed a significant difference.  By the 3rd day, I realized the Protopic was really working well.  I am very happy with this medicine.  It works better than the steroids without the side effects, and the effect seems to last longer.  I can get by with one application every couple of days now.  I do notice a little itching when using, but other than that, I have not noticed any side effects."


"For over a year I experimented with many different medicines for my Bipolar Depression without success until I started Latuda 3 months ago. I started at 20mgs, and am now at 80mgs and will be staying at this dosage. My depression has lifted, it has helped tremendously with my cognition (my brain 'fog), and I am an active participant in my own life now. As long as I take it at night with a meal or snack, I don't experience any side effects. If you take on an empty stomach, it makes you nauseous. The maker of Latuda has a patient assistance program as well. Overall, it has been a miracle for me!"


"I've only been taking citalopram for a few weeks now. My Doctor prescribed it because it comes in a generic form. I was taking Lexapro and it worked well. Unfortunately, my insurance only covered a small portion of the cost and Lexapro doesn't come in a generic form.

Celexa seems to work fine so far. No significant difference from the Lexapro except it seems a bit more difficult falling asleep."


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


"Got the flu and couldn't stop coughing. I've worked in pharmacy for years and people always rave about how good these are at stopping cough so when I got a prescription for them I was excited for the relief. They DO NOT WORK. They do not even slightly work. Maybe if you have a mild case of a cold or sinus issues but my experience with the flu was these didn't even tame my cough."


"Alesse was the first birth control that my doctor had put me on. I had no side effects and was confused due to all of the complaints I had heard about taking birth control in general from my peers. I began to wonder if there was anything better than Alesse and that is my biggest regret. I took Lolo as well as Tricera Lo and both of those helped me realize what side effects and tolls some birth control pills can have on women. I was breaking out in cystic acne, my breasts hurt, I had gained weight, my appetite was immense, etc. I went back on Alesse and low and behold, my skin is at its best, I have ZERO side effects and most importantly, it prevents me from getting pregnant."


"I went to the GYN with burning, irritation, and mild clear/white discharge about three weeks ago. Had a pelvic exam and swabs were taken. She said it looked most like a yeast infection and prescribed Diflucan one tab immediately and one tab three days later. Labs came back after both doses had already been taken and the infection was bacterial (BV). Was prescribed metronidazole gel which then caused the yeast infection I didn't have in the first place. Back to the Diflucan. Three pills in one month, but since the third pill (when I actually now do have a yeast infection) I am having dizziness. Annoying, unending spinning. Also, the yeast symptoms did not abate after four days. Monistat 3 helped in one night. Never again, Diflucan."


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


"This medicine has greatly improved my quality of life with my spasms in my back!"


"Tastes awful. Better to drink it all down in one go rather than taking small sips. Shat myself a little later cause I thought it was only gas. Spent the next 45 minutes shitting liquid."


"I've been asthmatic for the past 5 years. During the last 6 months or so my asthma has really gotten out of control, to the point where I was borderline abusing my rescue, inhaler, a average of 6 times per day. I recently started working out again and within 20 minutes of light to moderate power walking on the treadmill I would have to rush back to the car overwhelmed with wheezing, a tight sensation in my chest, my head pounding, struggling to take a breath, gasping for air. I finally had enough and decided to be proactive and see a allergist! He checked my vital signs and realized that a had lingering wheeze and gave me a sample of Dulera, two puffs daily. This is a miracle! "


"This drug is fine if not manufactured by Teva. Teva is not a good company and this drug has no effect under them. Save your money."


"I got this shot about two years ago. I was told by the urologist that it was a one month shot. I had the shot becaue we wanted some time to research and decide what treatment would be best. Found out later that it was a 3 month shot!
Suffered severe side effects! PSA dropped from 13 to 7, but the side effects were NOT worth it! Hot flashes with some of them causing me to nearly pass out were often (20  a day), memory problems, muscle/joint pain and on and on!
Once, while teaching I suddenly didn't know where I was or what I was doing!
After radiation I was recently put on Trelstar on a MONTHLY basis, nearly the same side effects but NOT the really bad ones!"


"I have only been on Tri-Sprintec for 20 days now so I am trying to give it a little longer, as I know it takes a while for your body to regulate it. However, it is very hard. I went from being very happy to depressed and moody within a week of starting it. I now have very little patience, which makes me feel terrible, especially because I have a dog and work with children and I want to be patient with them. I also have had an increase in acne since starting it. Painful cramps (which is why this was prescribed to me in the first place--to eliminate cramps) and weight gain. The worst part is that I have had a full period for 20 days straight, not just spotting. This pill is negatively effecting my life and my relationship. I hate it."


"I got the nexpanon inserted a month after giving birth, during that month I lost all my baby weight. After that I gained it all back and then some, I've worked out and watched my portions but nothing has helped. I don't have a period but I also breastfeed so it could be due to that. The only good thing about the birth control is that it works. It has also caused terrible depression and mood swings."


"Similar to Ambien but not as effective. I also experience RLS when taking Zaleplon Mg."


"Took two tablets before bed and was up from 4.30am with the worst stomach cramps.  An hour later I passed what I needed to in three sessions.  The cramps continued for another hour but they did work well.  Will never take two again though."


"Last night I panicked from side effects from this antibiotic I'm taking for a UTI! The first couple days I felt a tingling/electric feeling & muscle twitches all over my body, was restless, and woke a few times during the night.  Tonight was my 3rd dose & the electric pins and needles/skin crawling feeling was intense and affected my ENTIRE body (I could feel it in my ear lobes and my eyes!), muscle spasms & twitches, uncontrollable shaking, hard to get a deep breath, hard to swallow, hard to talk, my tongue felt fat, jaw clenching, stuttering, dry mouth, stiff calf muscles, the arches of my feet were twitching, my rib muscles were cramping, paranoia, hearing things, difficulty thinking.  Hope no permanent damage!  I'm a fit 29-year-old."


"Poor results, I have no positive results, especially at the highway robbery price of this drug ($1100.00) cash price for 3 months"


"Some months ago I developed chest pain with shortness of breath, it happened mostly on mild exertion and lasted up to half an hour. It was debilitating.

After extensive investigation as an inpatient (including angiogram) I was diagnosed with Microvascular Angina.

I remember exactly when I started taking Ranolazine, the day afterwards was quite remarkable. Chest pain was reduced and the following day it was reduced further. It was unbelievable, I was so relieved.

I've been on this medication for a couple of months now with no side effects to date. I've had to have a period of reducing it to see how that effects me, I got increased chest pain and shortness of breath when reduced. Once back up to full dose the chest pain is controlled."


"Great for day to day pain, but lacking if you do lots of heavy lifting in a day."


"Tried Cialis, didn't work. Tried Viagra but the cost, too expensive, and only lasted for one "go round". Tried Stendra and it works better that Viagra!! I was able to hold an erection and go 3 rounds!!! Another positive is that it's much more affordable!!!"


"I am on 50 mg at night for pain and sleep. I sleep so well that I am sleeping 16-18 hours. I sleep all night then pretty much all the next day. I can't seem to stay awake!!!"


"I have suffered from a Major Depressive Disorder for many years now and have always suffered from the constipation side effect of taking Venlafaxine (the active ingredient in Effexor and Elaxine. .. dont know about other antidepressants). I used Fleet Phospho Soda for the 1st time about 18 months ago and it was a very welcomed relief.

When taking Fleet I follow the following regime:

Mix 1/3 of a single bottle with 250ml water (as directed)

ready the next round straight away then set a 10min timer on my phone

when timer goes off, down the next glass as fast as you can (tastes like crap)

ready the next round and set timer again.

when timer goes off, down the last round.

Activity usually takes for me, approx 3-4 hours to take effect."


"I took Soma for muscle spasms, pain, and stiffness due to fibromyalgia and previous injury for over 3 years. My doctor recently switched me to another muscle relaxer, and my sleep has suffered horribly. At 21 years of age I am already very affected by my condition on a daily basis. I can't depend on my body at all, and because of that I myself am very unreliable. I can't sit for long, I can't stand for long. Soma made me extremely sick to my stomach, but when I needed relief Soma took the burning away and was more than worth it. Also made me feel light-headed and made me zone out quite a bit. I couldn't take it before school or anything that required me to be even half alert. Overall great medication for relief of severe muscle pain."


"I started Prozac 20 mg 11 days ago, the first week I was feeling very anxious, dry mouth, numbness in my face, but that was only the first week! Now I feel so much better I can say on the 9 day I started to feel more focus, my fears went away, and today is my 11 day and I feel good just great, thanks to God and Prozac."


"I'm known to be a little paranoid, but everything turned out just fine. Took the pill about 7 hours after sexual intercourse, experienced side effects such as headaches, dizziness, and spotting a week later. After 8 days of experiencing the side effects, I finally got my period. Definitely recommend it!"


"I have extremely high Triglyceride, and very high cholesterol. LDL could not be calculated due to very high Trig levels, HDL very low.  After I had been on Livalo, a medicine for high Trig, it brought my Trig level down so that LDL was calculated 199, Cholesterol 365, still low HDL.  I have tried several brands of statins that made me very sick.  Since I was prescribed Livalo, I am happy to report that I don't have the side effects the other statins caused.  I am hopeful for my next lab draw, after hearing about the positive reports you have posted on this site.  "


"I've been having seizures for the last two years, after being free from seizures for 5 years after temporal lobe surgery. I've had a seizure about every three months. Each seizure was worse then the previous one. Last year when I fell complications caused kidney failure. This has passed. I was on Lamictal and Keppra was added, and both were increased, without any change in seizures. 4 months ago I was taken off Keppra and Vimpat was added. 600 Lamictal/400 Vimpat. It is a strong medicine, in the morning I got very dizzy and unbalanced with double vision.  I complained and my dose was split up 3x a day and I feel much better. 4 months free of seizures now, I'm simply waiting for the next seizure, hoping not."


"I have a wheat intolerance and also I a, I am frequently blocked up and was recommended to use dulcolax instead of my normal senna for a stronger more effective result. I took 2 tablets at around 8pm and by 12/1am my whole stomach has bloated to the fact it felt like it was going to pop It was pulling my skin that tight ... Finally this discomfort passed and the bloating did ease however the pains I experienced made me consider going to hospital ! I nearly passed out of several occasions ... I did eventually go and it did do its job but I do not recommend this at all it is not worth the severity of the side effects atall"


"I have always had a hard tine with birth control. I was on the Nuvaring for 5 years until I started having problems (extreme vaginal pains, pain when having sex, etc.) And was put on norethindrone for the low dose hormones. My vision was very blurred and I had extreme balance and depth perception issues. I work at an automotive and electric motor mechanic and was losing balance carrying 50lb motors in my hands. I was not only hitting my hand with a hammer but also hit my boss' hand a few times (he was completely understanding) but needless to say with my line of work, this birth control was not going to work for me and I was unable to wait the three month period to see if it would subside."


"I went to the emergency room with a sinus infection on a Monday and picked up a bottle of Ceftin a few hours later. By the following Sunday, nothing had changed. I still had the aches, dizziness, and bouts of confusion and disorientation that had sent me to the hospital in the first place."


"Helped my anxiety. Was already taking Lexapro added 0.5 mg of Klonopin no more anxiety attacks."


"This morning at about 1 am I was admitted to ER with uncontrollable vomiting. Literally within seconds of the Zofran injection, the nausea was gone, which says a lot because I was actively vomiting when the injection was given. God bless the men and women who developed this drug. It truly is a miracle."


"I never had breakouts before even after I've hit puberty. That was until I've turned 15 (I hit my puberty at 11), I have had the worst breakout! At first, I started noticing that my pimples had popped up more often than it usually did, I thought it would go away by time and didn't put much of the effort to try and get rid of it. It goes from 1 to 4 and from 4 to 8 and then it just keeps on multiplying until boom! Acnes covered up my whole face with inflammated pimples. I cleared it once but then it came back two months ago, that's when I started to use the adapalene gel. I've been using it for two weeks now, and my skin is getting better. At the first week, my skin had started peeling, and I think it's a good thing. The redness decreases to"


"So the doctor decided to prescribe me this when I had pneumonia. Then moved me up dosage and then told me to stop taking it. I ended up with horrible electric shock symptoms permanent. I tried going back on it and weaning myself off. I have had every test known to man and the doctor finally admitted to it being from the medicine. As I am having these electric shock sensations it makes my muscle super sore and is horrible to live with this. So to keep the pain and shocks down I am 29 years old and am taking 4 Tramadol a day. I wanted to warn people that this is a real problem that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy."


"I just started Arthotec 75 mg two days ago. I can't believe that after 2 pills I was feeling no pain. My legs were working, I could walk normally, my spine wasn't hurting and my feet were pain free. This is a new life for me. I have been in constant pain for a long time and needed injections in my feet and spine to cope. I am ready to tell the world how well this is working for me."


"I began my journey with Contrave about 2 weeks ago and still have not had any weight loss. I have followed a strict 900 a day calorie diet, exercise daily, still no loss. I am only maintaining the same. This was a lot of money to just throw away. I am beginning to think any of the weight loss reviews are just some type of marketing scam. Hopefully someone out there got this medication and it actually worked for them."


"I had been a bad binge drinker for the last nine years. Going on benders ranging from 5 days to at worse 2 and a half weeks. I could remain abstinent for anything from 1 month to 8 months but always relapsed eventually. 4 hospital detoxes, countless home ones and very ill heavy drinking. Had a warning that my liver had early stage of chirrosiss so that scared me enough to try Campral. 6 a day, been on it a month now complete abstinence and generally feel, marvelous with no cravings or thoughts. So far so good. I'm sleeping great and feel calm and more balanced."


"I tried this for 12 weeks as recommended. I lost 6lbs of water weight the first week and thats it. It made me very dehydrated which made me miserable with leg cramps during workouts. Waste of money."


"I've taken this for over a year, and I love it! My boobs have grown and I've stayed my moderate weight. Mood swings? Eh not really. We all get emotional on our periods. Birth control is not 100% effective, but this thing works! I was with my boyfriend for 6 months of the year. We never used a condom and he came in me. Never got pregnant.  The best thing is this helps so much with my periods.  Less cramping. Before I'd be nauseous to the point I'd sometimes throw up, stay up hours in so much abdominal pain. This makes periods tolerable. I recommend it."


"I was prescribed Gabapentin 300MG two to three times daily in conjunction with Percocet for pain related to Trigeminal Neuralgia. Taken together the pain was reduced by two thirds and became more of a dull pain as compared with the constant, sharp, burning red hot poker pain I had been experiencing. I noticed no ill effects from this combination. I was able to function, multitask, strategize and work as a purchaser without problem. I felt a little more carefree than is usual but this did not seem to transfer over into any decision making. The only drawback was that together this combination was only effective for four hours at a time."


"This is a horrible product and should be recalled - I had a very minor rosacea problem with two patches of redness on my checks.  I used this for one week and it worked fine - but then the second week it made my face a living hell with bumps and itching  - the area infected increased to three times the size.  I stopped using it and now using something different from a different doctor.  DO NOT USE IT!!!"


"Of the many medicines used, Westcort has been by far the most effective for my eczema."


"I've had it for almost a month and haven't stopped bleeding or having cramps. I keep reading that it's good for women who have heavy, painful periods, but the adjustment time can take up to six months. It's been a full month and everyday has been like a light period. I'm hoping it stops, and the period goes away altogether like I've read. The transition has been difficult though."


"2nd review (2nd month on trinessa). In my first review I gave a 1star because I got TONS of cyst acne in the first 3 wks of taking Trinessa. I'm now on my second month and my cysts seem to be slowly disappearing or at least shrinking and I haven't gotten any new cysts. I'm starting to feel a bit more positive with this BC."


"I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and have been on so many different medicines trying to find one that works best on me, but no matter what I take I still have lots of pain. I tried Glucosamine a week ago and on the fourth day of taking it I noticed a big difference in my joint and muscle pain. I feel I have felt better in the last week of taking this than I have since I've had Fibro. I have recently stopped my Lyrica and Dilaudid. I haven't noticed any side effects so far."


"I had horrible cramping the day it was put in. But other then that, no spotting, or anything. Its such a lovely idea. My partner doesnt complain of the strings."


"Nothing less than incredible. I have not even had any side affects; I'm a bit disappointed because I was curious about the funky dreams I had heard was common. Not a one. I started August '16 and stopped smoking about 3 weeks later. I'm on my last month of it now and will stop mid-January '17. It's really cool/interesting the way it takes away that desire. I'm kind of afraid of what will happen when I stop, though. Fortunately my insurance only made me pay $30 per month."


"I started taking Tegretol 500mg every night after dinner. Initial ten days were extremely tough....very sleepy and was sleeping over 12 hours a day. Slowly there was some improvement but still very lethargic, struggling to concentrate, do day to day activities. Going back to doc. for a reassessment. The pain is down almost 70% and has given me some relief and relaxed me a bit."


"I took one dose and ended up in the ER with a horrible pounding, predominately right sided migraine. Along with about 6 hours of vomiting. It had to have been the worst migraine of my life."


"I have been taking this drug for a few months now. I had a severe accident at work so I have severe nerve pain and found that taking ambien helps me sleep at night, but it does sometimes like others have said make me forget what I did after I took it but I have lots of energy the next morning."


"When I first got the implanon I didn't stop bleeding so my doctor gave me a medication for a few days to help. Well it's been over a year and I still bleed every other week. I've gained some weight too but my main issue is the bleeding. It's such an inconvenience and I cannot wait to take it out. As a form of birth control it's very effective and I would advise it to someone who doesn't practice safe sex"


"Soooo, I get a call saying I need to get checked, and of course I'm all butt hurt because I've had like one fling in my whole life and of course it's the only guy I didn't use protection with. So I go in, I get tested. I get the results. It's chlyamidia. My doctor prescribes me the drink powder and honestly, taking the medicine was terrible because the powder doesn't desolve all the way so I had to keep refilling my glass. I gagged a lot so just be careful with it. I ate right after I took it and it took about 30 minutes for the stomach cramps to start in. They were pretty uncomfortable, but I didn't get diarrhea just the cramps. It's not great, but I mean. It's the price I pay. Just gonna sleep it off. And probably never have sex again."


"My doctor tried to put me on this. It gave me heartburn and a bad headache. I was not able to control bowel movements either. Sometimes I would actually stain the back of my pants. One good thing is I had an erection for hours. It did make me lose 40 pounds the first month I was on it though."


"I have been very unsure and reluctantly gave in to trying paroxetine as a first anti-depressant I've ever tried. Before I took them my moderate depression (triggered by several major life changes with a huge amount of stress) quickly developed into more severe depression and anxiety.  I thought honestly 'anything has to be better than how I'm feeling'. And after months of the box of paroxetine sitting in my drawer which was prescribed by my doctor, I knew I had to try.  And I am happy to share that my anxiety was reduced 90% from the second day.  What a surprise and a huge relief.  The depression symptoms are lifting after only one week.  So I am highly praising this medication.  I feel the benefits I've so far experienced far outweigh the mild side effects."


"I waited a couple of months before I wrote a review because I wanted to make sure it worked. My son, 7yrs old, has been on focal for 3 months. He is doing wonders with it. It helps him stay grounded to get all his daily tasks done and his concentration in school has been awarded by teachers and peers. The only issue is loss of appetite which in turned made him loose 13 pounds in 3 months. With the help of his pediatrician and the staff at the school were on top of him now with a high protein diet and snacks throughout the day."


"Absolutely hated this birth control pill. Within a few days of taking it, the cystic acne started and I read some reviews urging people to stick with it and it'd get better, so I did for 6 months, but this wasn't the case for me. My skin got worse.. A lot worse. My skin wasn't great to begin with, but it was horrible on loestrin. Whole face covered in under the skin bumps and large cystic acne on cheeks and chin. Been off of it for almost 4 months and I can't seem to get the acne gone now. So frustrating. No other side effects"


"I started the birth control shot in 2013 the day before my 20th birthday.  To say the least, it was a terrible decision.

The shot was great in some ways. I did not have a period the entire time I was on the shot (3 months) and through my 1st month on the pill after. My periods were always irregular though. It was also nice to be free from worry about contraception.

The bad overwhelmed the good though. The first week that I was on the shot I had bad headaches. Not migraines, but they were painful. I spotted lightly halfway through the 1st month and continued for 2 weeks.  At 3 weeks, I became horrifyingly depressed. I wouldn't have survived if I hadn't known that it would likely be better once I stopped the shot."


"I had UTi for 13 days and I was too much woried about it. it was a very painful expirience when urinate. so I searched out and choose the cipro. I had taken 2 pills 250 Mg in 24 hours. Believe me I had no notice any side effect of this medicine axcept a  minor headch and I feel 70% beter then before.It works for me and I hope I will recover 100% with time. scary reviews was scaring me but its different for me Thank God."


"I had an outbreak of peri-oral dermatitis in addition to my Rosacea. I used a high powered cortisone cream that worked amazingly well, but when I went off of it I had an extreme rebound outbreak (much worse than I've ever had). I used many natural remedies (aloe gel, aloe juice, lavender) which eased the outbreak but didn't eliminate it. I added the use of Rosula and within days my outbreak is almost completely gone. It smells bad, but it seems to work for me."


"This is the best oral contraceptive I've been on thus far. In the past 7 years I have been on: tri-cyclen lo, Alesse for 4 years and Diane. This is the first contraceptive where I have felt like myself. No side effects, no breakthrough bleeding as long as I take it the same time everyday and only two day periods. This is such a miracle to the oc industry. I recommend it to every female I know. You can't go wrong with the lowest side effects on the market. Although Alesse is a house hold name- it has some of the highest side effects on the market and I never quite felt like myself on it."


"I have numerous chronic conditions but I will speak about my pain. I have been attending the pain clinic for approximately 5 years and have tried every conceivable pain medication that I could get including a ketamine iv , nothing has worked until now. I am on 500 mg of Palexia/tapentadol/Nucynta and it works. I have nerve damage due to an undiagnosed neurological condition with symptoms copying Multiple Sclerosis. It has taken about 8 weeks for it to work but it has made a big difference. Side effects are no sleep (chronic), dizziness (goes away) and mood swings. I want to stay on it and hopefully my doctor can help with the sleep, so anyone just on it or about to go on it please give it a bit of time."


"I have been using it for almost 10 years  - was definitely not this expensive when I started. My first cost was only $75, then it went to $100 and  my doctor gave me one of the manufacturers coupons. I did only pay $15 for each ring until last year when I needed a new prescription.  The new coupon has a max. discount amount of $100 and the product is almost $400.  I am thinking of stopping - it seems the more popular it got the more expensive it got.  I don't like the weight gain but enjoying sex with my husband is a way better trade off.  I may just to back to the hassle of the cream."


"Given Zyban to help me stop smoking and it worked. I quit smoking, drinking tea and sodas too.  To this day I do not want to smoke or drink tea or sodas.  I didn't know that I would feel so good too.  I didn't feel depressed anymore.  I felt content with life.  The only draw back I experienced was some dizziness."


"Works great for my ADHD. It's the first drug I was prescribed for it and I think I'll be sticking with it. The only effects other than helping with focus that I've had so far are some extra energy and a little bit of a reduction in appetite. I'll have to switch to immediate release next month though, since the extended release pills are still a little bit expensive."


"Took the pill within 12 hours of having unprotected sex and I just found out I'm pregnant! It is only 95% accurate within 24 hours and 61% within 48-72 hours!"


"I started this birth control about 2 months after becoming sexually active. Still being in the same relationship I have seen major changes. This medicine works great to prevent pregnancy, but I've had uncontrollable mood swing along with bad anxiety involving my relationship. As a person that has always had long term relationships I have never felt THIS crazy about a partner. And not a good crazy. Even though I know he is faithful I constantly have panic attacks whenever he leaves from worrying about our relationships. I am, and was never, the type of women to be insecure, but this medicine is driving me insane, and would recommend trying others."


"I'm glad I was prescribed Vistaril. It relives anxiety quickly without all the downsides of Klonopin or Xanax. The drowsiness is more pronounced, but I'll take it over a panic attack. This seems like a good medicine to take as needed. Be careful driving, and remember to rely on natural coping skills as well. To the people experiencing an abnormal amount of drowsiness or nausea, just remember it's temporary. It was totally effective for me, and my anxiety is moderate."


"Was very beneficial when taken with a muscle relaxer for extreme pain in neck and arm. I was also taking Naproxen."


"I've been a diabetic for two years.  The first year my numbers were maxing out my meter. At 9 months I started on low dose of onglazia.  I started feeling better. Then by 1 full year as diabetic I was taking a slightly higher dose. I ve dropped 50lbs with the metformin and onglazia combined.  Now at two years of taking onglazia my AIC is 5.7 and my average blood sugar is 119. I have just been told doc wants to take me off onglazia.  She's concerned my numbers are to low and is even planning on getting me off metformin.  I am scared to of that.  I'm finally feeling like my old self. Even at $35 a month onglazia is so worth the cost!"


"Drug worked like a miracle on anxiety and depression - BUT, it made my ears ring and caused hearing loss. NOW more depressed than ever. 75 mg for 6 days and ear went numb. Nightmare scenario and I'm living it."


"Been on invokana 300mg once a day, taken prior to breakfast, for 8 weeks, third box starts today, slight burning around head of penis week 1&2 wash more. Gone. Thirst all day ,most drink a lot upward of 6-8 bottles per day, peeing a lot 9 times a day. Good thing as you most flush kidneys , weight loss, wow. Lost 31 pounds in 8 weeks and yes that without exercise or change in diet , not sure if that's all good but wow A1c.  10.9- 8.0 down to 7.5-6.2 on average. Still tired lot around 2pm afternoon . Age 52"


"I was on Yasmin and had no issues. Went to the local health department clinic and was put on Sronyx because the clinic did not carry Yasmin. Since the switch I have had discomfort in lower abdomen, have not had a period since... not pregnant. Have lost sexual desire and have an out of control appetite for sweets. I am not happy with this and will look for a way to afford the other pill."


"Tri-Sprintec works GREAT when used correctly of course and definitely helps to fight acne. However I have been on this medicine for 4 months and have gained 9 pounds (from 127lbs- 136lbs). While I enjoy this weight gain (for now) Its hard to recommend this to anyone else since everyone's body is different. But it works for me."


"I love this birth control. After reading all of the reviews, I was really scared to go on it, but ever since, I have nothing but good things to say. No weight gain, haven't gotten pregnant, plus my sex drive is through the roof now. The only downside is that I'm way more emotional than I usually am; like crying a lot and getting mad more often at little things. But I've been told that that will improve as time goes on. Plus I get this birth control for free. I would definitely recommend this to people!"


"I was only on Zyprexa for 10 days but it made me so tired I couldn't even function. All I wanted to do was sleep all day. And it made my depression worse. I was so depressed by that 10th day that I almost quit my job because I just felt like I couldn't handle any stress at all. So glad I stopped taking this drug."


"I've been on and off Lexapro for 6 years. I got off it twice thinking I was completely fine and then a year later (both times getting off) my anxiety came back tenfold. I am back on Lexapro now and happier than ever. Many people are scared of being on medicine or asking for help but we are all made differently and some of us need medicines to live a fuller, more amazing life. Lexapro has enabled me to accomplish things I didn't see possible and allowed me to relax and enjoy life more! Everyone has their own definition as anxiety but to me if your anxiety is interfering with your every day life then try everything you can to remediate it. I have tried yoga, vitamins/ other homeopathic remedies and as much as I wished they worked, they didn't."


"So, I wanted to review this drug because I've been on five antibiotic treatments within the last month and a half for the craziest UTI I've ever experienced in my life. Landed in the ER for fevers and pain and worst was the mental confusion.... Anyways, during  this time I've been on IV antibiotics, Z pak as well as  Keflex, which gave me horrible anxiety and extreme photo sensitivity. When I tried levaquin, it sent me to the ER. Then finally bactrim DS was prescribed. After taking it the first night I did have some trouble sleeping but after two doses of the medication I did adjust. I have been taking probiotics with these meds. It's helped overall. Side effects I noted vivid dreams, fatigue, and constipation were the main three."


"Liver transplant 8 years ago. No Problems."


"75.000$ hospital bill
I was on sprintec for less than a year when I one day fainted. I was taken to the er and was UNCONSCIOUS for 3 HOURS. After CT scans and MRIs they found out I had blood clots in my lungs literally blocking oxygen going to my brain and a blood clot in my HEART. I was in the ICU for a week and had to give myself shots in my stomach twice a day for 9 months. Now I'm on blood thinners for the rest of my life.
Thanks sprintec.  Never use this drug."


"I am an 18 year old male. I fond out I had Tourette's Syndrome when I was 15 and I was put on Orap. Orap helped me, my girlfriend says my tics aren't that bad."


"Had bleeding, diarrhea, frequent trips to the bathroom...Started to notice a difference within a day and a half of taking this. Not as many bathroom trips...actually starting to feel normal again."


"I am on my second pack, (a week and a day has past) and I haven't had my period yet. I took a pregnancy test, it was negative, but I still am concerned about no period. "


"Saving life is most important.  However, so is quality of life. My husband of 30 years, the most stable, peaceful, fun, loving person I had ever met, completely disappeared with this drug. Physical side effects are horrible, but the potential psychological and emotional impact of this treatment can be even worse. And, it is not at all addressed by the medical community. He's gone for support, he's gone for counselling, but nothing seems to get through. The fact that he's alive apparently is not enough. SO, after dealing with this for so many years, I would strongly suggest that couples fully deal with this together. Your husband/or partner will become a completely different human being on this drug - and the impact is not reversible."


"This medicine has been a blessing for me after trying chiropractor. Physical therapy, injections, etc. I suffer from fibromyalgia, scoliosis, bulging neck disc. I sometimes get tired but after 61 years of being very active and hard work (I mean hard) naps are expected. Sometimes all of us need to slow down."


"I have used lexapro long term, over two years. It is incredibly effective for my anxiety and I only get side effects if I forget to take it. 20mg once daily"


"Diltiazem for High Blood Pressure: Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial Flutter

I took Diltiazem before surgery and then continued it after for high blood pressure.  It worked just fine for a while although the 12 hr only lasted for 4- 5 hours in my case. Then I started getting toothaches and really bad gingivitis. I did have gingivitis already. I also started feeling lousy and only by coincidence did I stop taking the Diltiazem. Two day later my toothaches were gone and my gums stated clearing up. I still thought it was a coincidence. I restarted Diltiazem again and the same thing happened again."


"This is hands down the best cough medicine I've ever taken.  I had a cough so severe that I wet myself or threw up during uncontrollable coughing fits.  Needless to say, I couldn't sleep at night for more than the few hours when I just passed out from total exhaustion.  My first dose of Tussionex didn't totally get rid of the cough, but it did cut it by about 50%. The second dose helped more. My third dose was last night, and it made it possible for me to get a good night's sleep for the first time in two weeks. I did wake up once with a bad headache, but I can't tell if it's a side effect of the medicine or just part of being sick. Anyway, I'll trade a headache for vomiting from coughing fits any day."


"I am 5'10 and when I started taking this medication I was at 240 after the first 45 days I was down 16 pounds and it has been a nice steady slow 6 to 10 pounds at each weigh in.  I am now down to 180 and I feel GREAT.  Worth every penny, and my only side effect's were dry mouth and I did have to go on a potassium supplement because I was getting leg craps.  With the weight loss that this medication has helped with I was able to get off of some other medication for high blood pressure."


"What a God send! After menopause at 50 I first thought "yes! no more periods" then the fun started, night sweats, hot flashes at the worst times like during business meetings, my Dr. started me on the patch .50 and within 2 days it was like a miracle - I could sleep without a towel on my pillow and the hot flashes disappeared. After a year he dropped the dose to .375 and it's still working. If you are having to fight the sweats and flashes - talk to your Dr. This stuff works!"


"I've been on everything to treat my disease, seriously. My condition is a little different. I'm very intelligent, but my positive symptoms kept me in constant fear and stress. I was so unmotivated and depressed I couldn't handle life. My first psychiatrist was terrible. He loaded me up on benzos and SSRIs. It was like dumping gas on the fire. I was so fed up that I switched doctors when I went to college. I've been with him for 3 years now. He did everything he could think of. Some things didn't work, some were incomplete, and some caused horrible side effects. So last ditch he wrote Clozaril. I feel wonderful. I have a $75k job, a car, and a house. Clozaril saved my life."


"It's amazing not having a period every month but there are some down sides to this pill. It took me about 6 months to not have spotting. I had a lot of spotting for several days at a time when I first started, but now that has stopped. I started getting these big red pimples, that my dermatologist called cysts and said this pill may be the cause of them, since I never had them before. I also gained 20 pounds. I work out regularly and my diet hasn't changed. The plus side my breasts got bigger."


"Traumatic experience caused me to suffer major depressive disorder.  Tried therapy, didn't work. Finally tried medication two years later. Doctor prescribed me viibryd. Took my first dose in the morning, by lunch time I felt sick and nauseated.  Had to leave work bc I felt so awful.
My doctor lowered my dose and I didn't feel nearly as bad the next four weeks. I didn't notice a change in my mood.
I went on vacation and forgot to pack my meds  (I know how horrible it is to stop taking my meds) the come down was un real...  I spent the whole vacation in bed too tired to leave..

When I arrived home from vacation I took my meds again and I was instantly sick. I began hallucinating and puking, it felt like a bad acid trip."


"It took me two whole days of agony and suffering pneumonia while thinking whether to take this medicine or not, the reviews and side effects are terrifying. But I got over it and took the pill: Here's what I did. Everyday at 1pm I eat something not too heavy but satisfying, then at 2pm I take the pill with a whole 500ml water bottle. Avoid iron, multivitamins and all that, also avoid dairy unless you're fine with having to go to the bathroom a couple of times during the day. I didn't get any side effects. I'm drinking a lot of water, I'm eating well, eating lots of fruits and most importantly, I'm resting. On day 4 of 7 now, and I can safely say that this medicine really does work so well feeling so much better with clear lungs. Good luck."


"I'm on my 5th day taking Lexapro 10mg and the side effects have been horrible! The most I can put into my stomach is a breakfast essential shake in a whole day, I get heavy head aches, the back of my eyes hurt like hell, I wake up drenched in sweat, my whole body aches to the point where I can barely walk, I get very cold easily, and I sleep throughout the day.. I was told the side effects will stop after a week but will the loss of appetite stop too?"


"This is far from the godsend every one else has claimed it to be. I'm two months in and have witnessed almost no results, other than the zits are less large and less painful. But in no way are their less zits. As an added "bonus", my acne scare like never before. The scarring is impossible to get rid of and impossible to cover up. My acne was only moderate, so I had expected it to work. I'm frustrated, and disappointed. This was my last hope."


"I had taken this medication before so I thought I knew what to expect. I'm 24 and have tried various types of BC. Although the patch was less inconvenient then taking a pill daily, the side effects weren't worth it. I immediately gained 3 pounds (within the first week), I broke out ALL over my face, I've had three large cysts on my face, it made me irritable and caused severe insomnia. My dermatologist and I were both surprised with how much acne it gave me. Absolutely wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, ever!"


"Calmed me down enough to talk to the Psychiatrist and Social Worker when I had been detained under section 136 but didn't feel it very much and wore off quite quickly. Not as good as Diazepam"


"I used Nicoderm patch and it helped a lot, I smoked and use hookah pens for over 10 years and wanted to quit because of my health. I was smoke free for 1 year, then I had a major emotional break down and went back to smoking. Now I'm on the patch again and its been a week and I' have no cravings for cigarettes or hookahs, unless I'm driving or after eating but it quickly passes over. I most definitely will recommend the patches!!!"


"Great ...I'm not pregnant."


"Celexa worked wonders for my postpartum depression.  My depression stated later than normal, my child was 9 months.  At first I felt "out of it", like I couldn't concentrate.  After a week that went away.  I also have mild OCD and it helped that too.  I did gain a little weight and was craving food more.  My husband says he noticed a good change in me, better mood."


"I love trazodone. I am taking trazodone for sleep. It helps me sleep 8 hours. I also like it because it helps with depression and anxiety. The medicine calms me throughout the night. I have no anxiety and depression since I started taking it. I will continue to take it as long as I can."


"Not every medicine is for everyone, but as one who has tried most of the major pharmaceuticals for major depression, panic attacks, severe anxiety and anxiety related bouts of obsessive compulsive disorder, I can tell you Lexapro is the only medicine that I've been able to stay on and be effective for my mental well-being...it is the only one I've had no side effects with. Other SSRI's have either: made me more anxious and/or depressed, dry mouth, BAD weight gain, or extreme fatigue making me into a walking zombie during the day. I've been on Lexapro 6 years now taking from 20 to 30 milligrams each day. During the months with the most sunshine, 20mg is effective. During months of winter, I have to bump it up by 10 mg's. I supplement with 4000 to 6000 IU's of D3 daily"


"I suffer from recurring urinary tract infections and Macrobid has always worked fast and really well. I've noticed after prolonged use though my body has developed a bit of an immunity to it and doesn't work as fast anymore. Also it now gives me yeast infections so I have to try something else."


"I have been on Nuva Ring for about a week now. I was on birth control pill and I found that I hated taking a pill everyday, so I did some research on the ring and decided to do a three month trial and so far I love it. It's nice to not have to worry about taking a pill everyday. I love it!"


"I just got skyla put in a few hours ago. I cant comment on how well it works for me yet but what I can comment on was the insertion. IT WAS NOTHING. I got myself so scared due to reading reviews the night before going (dumbest idea ) and I was so nerve wracked from the horror stories i read. I took 2 advil before I went. She didn't numb me or anything and I'm on the 5th day of my period. All you feel is a slight cramping with insertion which if you've ever had period cramps it's nothing. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give the pain a 2 because it lasts for maybe 10 seconds I had my apointment at 1130 I was out by 1140. Hope this helps someone :) all I can say is everyone's different go by your expirience not others."


"I am 27 years old, dedicated smoker since age 17, and recently quit with the aid of Chantix. During my first week I suffered a lot of anxiousness and stomach problems, but after persisting with the recommended dose my body caught on. I continued to smoke through my first month taking Chantix during which the feeling of 'needing' a cigarette became less and less frequent. I had very lucid and bad dreams during this month. After smoking a pack and a half on the 23rd of November I decided that I was done, so the next morning I didn't smoke anymore and I have not smoked since. Since I quit smoking the bad dreams have given way to very lucid good dreams. I still experience a little stress from time to time, but that's normal stress. Thanks Chantix."


"Had a bad case of bronchitis and Bactrim was prescribed. Within a day I was feeling better and was completely well in 3-4 days. Amazing!  However, my wife was prescribed the same drug for her bout of bronchitis and found that she was allergic to it and had horrible stomach pain.  So it's obviously not for everyone."


"I've been taking this generic bupropion XL 300 mg for a little over a year now. I was prescribed this for depression and an anti-smoking aid but it has no effect on stopping the desires of me wanting to have cigarettes. It's not helping with my depression. I feel sluggish and tired all day. Depression almost seems worse the days I do take it versus when I don't. sex drive hasn't been this low since like "ever"!. I'm probably going to discontinue it. If it's not helping it can only be hurting right? I can only get what the doctors are willing to prescribe me, but most the time it's garbage. I'm prescribed hydroxizine for sleep & anxiety. Thats garbage too, but whole dif story."


"Doesn't do a thing for me, started on 10mg dose, and nothing Tried 20mg and still nothing, sometimes I feel a wee bit stoned but that's it.  My insomnia is caused by bipolar and the antidepressants causing me to go hyper and not feel the need to sleep so that could be a reason."


"I'm in a very depressed mood all the time, my doctor put me in lexapro and xanax, but my depression is still there mostly cuz of money, I got way behind and that helped put me in a depressive mood, I'm 74 will b 75 on May 1 and took my granddaughter and her two boys ages 14 and 12 but that helped with my depression cuz supporting them put me behind in my bills, I'm struggling, she just got a job but its temporary, the 12 yr old is a backtalker and at my age it bothers me very much. But the lexapro does help some since my doctor upped my dosage to 20 mg, I can't put them in the street, but grandson who is 35 got divorced last yr and he helps me around the house. and I also suffer from 5 compressed disks in my low back and now travels down my leg"


"I had the Mirena inserted yesterday. I am 35 and have a 18 year old son. Insertion was painful (for those mothers out there, it felt like a contraction) but only lasted a couple of minutes. I took 800 mg of Ibuprofen an hour before my appointment. I returned to work after. Had some uncomfortable cramps and used a heating pad at bed time. I was on my 4th day of my period and almost finished at the time of insertion. I had some bright colored additional bleeding. Today is day 2. Not only has the spotting stopped but my period is over. I have had some minimal cramping in my lower back today but, not enough to amount to anything. Haven't taken any ibuprofen. I feel pretty good. I am going to give it another few days before trying to have sex. So far, so good!"


"I just finished my first pack and this is my first experience with the pill in general. The first week I was really bloated, and I freaked out! I also had an increased appetite that I tried my best not to give in to. After about 14 days, the bloating went away and my appetite was back to normal. I got my period on time, and it has been really light! I usually bleed so much and  of  that I would have to wear two pads and I would change it every 2-3 hours. My face has cleared up and my back acne is also started to clear up. Am having a great experience so far and hopefully it continues this way! Anyone who takes this, do not be discouraged if the first week it not perfect. Finish the pack first, and see what the results are."


"I have been on Seasonique for almost a year now and have had no problems until just recently. The past couple of months I have been extremely bloated (to the point where I thought I was pregnant and took a pregnancy test) and have been very exhausted. I stay tired all day and no matter how much sleep I get I just want to lay in bed. I have also been bleeding very heavily for over 5 weeks now, and I am no where close to the time I'm supposed to bleed. The cramps and bleeding have been heavier/worse than I've ever had. "


"I have had pain for 10 years. Since taking Cymbalta I feel I have my life back. It's taken about 3 weeks for it to work, but its just getting better and better. Awesome medicine. "


"Alright ladies I'm here to tell you a mirena experience that was actually pleasant! I was 18 and I got it inserted last July (2014). Most people experienced a horrible, painful insertion but this can be prevented! Before I had it inserted I told my OBGYN to numb my cervix ( she used a spray and within 30 seconds I was good to go ). The whole procedure took less that 1 minute and 30 seconds. Afterwards I felt No craps, no nausea, no headache and even to this day no weight gain. However, after I got mirena I got my period 2 weeks later. At first it was like an ordinary period, but it didn't end like one because I spotted for a whole month straight But after that I've been period free for almost a year. I love this thing. I trust it so much."


"I lost five pounds in three weeks. I took the pill five days a week and took a break over the weekend. I definitely ate more when I did not take the pill. Overall, I have been eating healthy prior to taking the pill, but this has definitely helped me to avoid rush eating of sweets and other unhealthy things at times when I would be very hungry or stressed. The pill alone is not enough. Exercising on a regular basis makes a big difference. I'm looking to lose five more pounds by the end of this month."


"I've been on Skelaxin for a month now and it's a God send.  Best medication for all my pain."


"Cured my panic disorder, which was huge. Also levelled me off emotionally. But...sexual disfunction is definitely an issue. I also seem to have a lack of empathy for others that I don't like. Overall, though, I've been helped by this med."


"Risperdal is my miracle. I put on about 30 pounds in the course of 18 months but that is nothing as to the improvement it has made on my mental well being.  Gone are the sleepless nights staring at the ceiling, delusions of grandeur, and being overly worried about life's ups and downs.  The psychosis has diminished to the point where I no longer need medication to remain stable.  If symptoms ever return, I know this is the medication for me.  Also no unpleasant side effects from coming off it."


"I've been on 50mg for three years and it is wonderful. The only down fall is the price. It has gone up considerably in three years. "


"excellent for alcohol withdrawals and also for abstaining from alcohol as far as I'm concerned though it does not help me sleep better... maybe I'm just too hyper active"


"I wish I never took this pill. I'm not a pill popping kind of person. But I had to think about my future with my boyfriend and decided just to try one pill out. This was the lowest dose so I figured it would be fine. Definitely not... I haven't been eating or motivated as much as I usually am. I'm an emotional person but this pill turned me into a monster. I have never been so sad in my entire life. I had thoughts of harming myself and was constantly causing arguments with my boyfriend who I've been with for w year and a half and we've never had these problems. It has given me horrible head aches and anxiety. I would never suggest this to anyone."


"I have struggled with my pain for 7yrs. This is the only medication that has helped me so much consistently. I've tried everything."


"I beg of everyone to think twice before taking this pill. I am 20 years old and took one of these a couple years ago after being constipated for a week, and remember laying on my stomach holding onto my bed for dear life with all four limbs- swearing I would never take one again. I proceeded to go to the bathroom for hours- in pain unlike anything else is experienced. This month, I was on vacation and had barely gone to the bathroom for 24 days!! So I decided I'd try this before going to the doctor! I woke up last night with such bad stomach cramps almost not making it to the toilet before throwing up and pooping myslef at once!!! Puking black stuff up- which I am still very confused about!! I have not moved from bed all day, sick as a dog!"


"Vile absolutely vile and addictive if your struggling in life and have an addictive personality as they make you sleep and give you some relief. The need to eat is intense. Please don't drink with them you will black out and not remember a thing. Take with caution

Much love keep strong. Xxxxxxxx"


"So far so good! I've been using on and off for a while but now I've finally started using it regularly its really started to work!

One tip though.... make sure you wash you hands properly after using it. I didn't then rubbed my eyes (having put it on before bed) and got really dry skin on my eyelids which was super painful!!!"


"Works great, the only one for me, no side effects, 53 yrs old, started getting these headaches last yr, Excedrin, Aspirin, Fiercet, and Advil didn't work, takes about an hour to kick in, but since nothing else works, I can wait it out"


"I have tried other pills to loose weight but nothing worked.  I was only on this for 1 month,  and using with a carb cycling diet with some exercise I lost 11 pounds. I feel as high as the clouds!  I feel great.  The only thing I can say is I had dry mouth and blurry vision for about 2 weeks but wanted to continue this as it was the only medication that made me not feel like eating everything in the house!"


"When I was Diagnosed With thyroid problems around nine years ago. My TSH was a 6.7. I was placed on Synthriod. I developed terrible headaches right from the start. The Dr. decided to switch over to Levoxyl brand. Let me tell you it has been a whirl wind of problems from tiredness, to aches and pains coming out of nowhere. I gain 50lbs in the last nine years. Constantly dieting, the gym, nothing worked. Swelling and cloudy thinking. The Dr. said my TSH was normal. Okay, just started on Armour Thyroid 60mg. Unbelievable. My aches and pains are gone. Lost five pounds in these last two weeks. Swelling is gone and I am alert! Do your homework and take charge. I finally did! " Armour changed my life"."


"I wish they would bring this back to the market, Privine is  the only product that never causes nosebleeds and works beautifully. Have used since childhood. If the manufacturer would reintroduce this it would be most helpful."


"I find Metrogel more effective than Finacea. It minimizes redness and breakouts with no irritation."


"Breo didn't really do anything to help my asthma. On the bright side, there were no side effects."


"When I first started having my period I would get really sick. My flow has never been heavy and only lasts 5-3 days. I had acne really bad before I started the pill and the worst cramps of life. My doctor put me on the pill my sophomore year in high school to balance my hormone imbalance, help with periods, and help me gain a little bit of extra weight because of the fact that I was so athletic my body didn't have enough weight to support my menstrual cycle. I'm now a sophomore in college and actually use it as a way of contraception. My skin has been clear, my cramps gone, weight even, no period sickness, and I have not become pregnant while on it. The only bad thing is that I get really sick if I don't eat something with it."


"Been on it for 4 months. I think I'm allergic to the adhesive.. It made the area I had it on really itchy. Not just right at the patch, it will travel about 5-8 inches around it. I hated the gummy, lint catcher look around the patch. Mine would get very loose around the 5th day. Probably due to scratching. My boobs itched like crazy! Very tender. Lots of muscle cramping wherever the site was at. Example : if I had it on my left butt check I would have Charlie horses really bad on my left leg.  And my headaches were super bad on the no patch week."


"46 year old male.  Not to be overly dramatic, but I was ready to commit suicide my skin was so bad.  My hands looked like I was a fire victim.  My elbows and legs burned and bled constantly.  My scalp would flake and drop into my eyes and all over my clothes.  I was in constant pain, and my relationships were non existent.  Flaky skin would drift off of me whatever I did.  I was weeks away from having to leave work and go on disability, which would have been the end of the line for me.  Depression set in so badly I just wanted to end it all.  Then I found a new dermatologist.  Everything changed.  My first shot of Stelara made a difference.  Nine months later, 90% clear.  A few trouble spots, but my hands are CLEAR!  What a life changer!"


"I have been taking Gabapentin 300 mg twice a day for 2 years, no side effects, although I am not a diabetic, I have neuropathy of my left heel due to a back problem. Everything a okay until recently I have been having the neuropathy coming back on my left heel. I have increased my dosage to 600 mg  twice a day to see if this helps. It is not fun to have an electrical shock run through your heel every 90 seconds 24 hours a day."


"Lawnmower blade took off tip of finger. Norco didn't help with the pain that well."


"Cymbalta worked for me for years and then, all of a sudden, just stopped working. This is day 8 of Brintellix. Suicidal ideation went down significantly but side effects are awful. I'm hungry all the time and thinking about food the minute I finish eating. Also, I haven't read this as a side effect before, but I believe I'm having some sort of allergic reaction as my limbs won't stop itching. I even took Benadryl for a couple of nights but without much relief. Is anyone else experiencing a similar side effect."


"I have been on medication for 9 years now. I have tried over 30 medications for my bipolar, axiety, PTSD and have found Lamictal as the only medication that helped me.  I am very medication sensitive so I did get the rash with Lamictal and still took it for 4 years until the rash ended up being to much.  I have now tried 6 more medications and have not found any that help without huge side effects.  I would say it was a miracle medication for me and I truly miss it."


"This is the worst allergy medication I have ever tried. It did not help with any of the symptoms listed on the box. Not only did it not help with what I took it for, it also made me unbelievably tired. I felt like I had taken some sleeping pills. Do not waste your money on this product."


"I have been on xulane for 3 months now and I love it. Before I started my periods were bad with headaches, cramping, and heavy flow, after the first month my periods dwindled and now I only need light pads, I rarely cramp and have maybe one headache. However I do get some redness and irritation on my skin, trouble with the patch adhering to my skin and also my eating habits have changed dramatically, sometimes I'll be starving and when I see what I'm about to eat I lose any urge to eat. I would recommend it but be sure you remain aware of your body."


"This is a great cough medicine but gave me itchy tingling skin."


"I have used this for 2 months and it changed my life, after 3 years of pain and seeing doctor after doctor for what I thought was gallbladder pain but the last 2 days I've not been feeling good, same old symptoms are back (not sure if it's something I ate or what ) heading back to doctor in 2 days..
Overall this medicine has helped me tremendously for the past 2 months !!!!"


"Been living with psoriasis for over 20 years. Tried everything from pills to ointments, it help a little but nothing like cosentyx. I am still in the early stages, just finished my weekly shots and I already see a huge improvement. The itch is completely gone and I can see the redness is clearing on a daily bases. Even my arm hair over the plaque has started growing again. I am thankful that I have insurance as I hear it is quite expensive ..10k per dose....I strongly recommend this treatment, it might change your life, it did for me.."


"Solodyn worked great for me! I got really sick on Doxycycline, so my dermatologist switched me to this. It cleared up my body & face acne (I was/am also taking Veltin as a topical). I understand it can be very expensive for some people, but my insurance covered it with a $20 copay. I was on Solodyn for 6 months and just stopped taking it on advice of my derm about 2 weeks ago. So far so good! I would recommend it. I didn't have any side effects on it like I had on the Doxy."


"Was diagnosed in Aug 2014 with stage 4. Had radiation and then Anastrzole Jan 2015. Nausea for 2 weeks, joint pains still, warm showers work with alleve for me night before and one during day.  Also I realized that a cane made quite a difference in hip/recovering neck surgery. I don't use it as much around house but on concrete (parking lots) areas is a must. I think the pressure was too much without it at first and delayed the healing as I am much stronger now. ***The weight gain is terrible/ 3 lbs a month and insomnia.*** Weeks watching food  (that's why a 7 rating) intake/limiting no difference at all and lots of water and walking. Still feel much stronger though and breast tumors have not increased. May 16 2017 also xgeva once a month injection"


"Product works as expected, very similar to auto-injected allergy medicines. Liquid is visible through clear glass window in center of unit that shows whether or not product is still in usable condition, instructions are written on side of container.  Verbal instructions begin as soon as you begin step 1 by removing the cap, follow each step, up through, and including injection, and calling emergency help.  Comes in approximately 1/2 inch wide rectangle shaped plastic case is about 2X3 inches.
My script came w/two autoinjectors and one test unit for training, which is great.  All these came in a canvas travel pouch with a CPR mouth barrier and rubber gloves."


"I've had four kids; including a set of twins. A friend of mine told me how much she loved the Skyla, so I figured I would give it a go. The procedure was quick, easy & painless. I've now had it for 3 weeks & my side affects are random bleeding, light cramping & unusual tiredness. Both are common & I was told my body will regulate after three months. It gets a A  in my book!"


"Not only does a 0.5mg shut down racing thoughts and anxiety it reduces depression. Been on every other antidepressants out there with awful side effects.  Don't need to take it every day. "


"I had acne all of my and I am 60 years old.  I came across this stuff 30 years ago and it's wonderful.  Like the comments before me.......it does leave a white film on your face, but I apply it at night.  When I do have a break out and dab a thicker amount on that area and in a two days it's dried up and gone.  If you use this properly it's the best out there.  Plus I feel it keeps my skin from aging.  Since it does dry out your skin the aging spots pretty much fade out.  I would seriously give this product a try since I can tell you that I did true everything out there.  I hope this helps one person if not a lot more.  Why have unwanted acne on your face and go thru life like that.  A little pricy but it's your face where talking about."


"Was prescribed following surgical tooth extraction. Worked good, let me finally get some rest, albeit after getting sick for the first dose. I get sick on the first dose of most pain meds tho, pretty sure it's common."


"My son has been on qvar for a few months anf its amazing. He usually wheezes frin allergies amd this has prevented it. So grateful."


"I didn't remember that I was allergic to vigamox and thats the same class of drugs as this medicine. For the first 3 days I was fine and it worked to clear my symptoms but this morning I woke up with this weird muscle pain and I couldn't really sit without a weird muscle being stretched. So I switched to another antibiotic. helps with symptoms and clearing infections but seems to make people hurt. they should take this off the market."


"I tried a tiny amount smaller than pea sized on my forehead and cheeks ONE TIME and had the worst rebound flushing for SEVERAL MONTHS.  Finally after 14 MONTHS of not using the drug my face is getting back to the baseline pre-mirvaso.  I would hate to see how much damage this drug could do over long term use if just one use wrecked my face for over a year.

I would absolutely not recommend this for anyone, I'm actually surprised Galderma still even has this on the market."

"I have been on Depo for a little over a year and a half. I've had no periods and some spotting every now and then. Being on this has given me lots of mood swings, very emotional and even depressed at times. Not to mention the very low sex drive. Plus I never knew that it made the bone density very low. Now I'm thinking about using Implanon."


"Diovan was prescribed by my doctor nearly 10 years ago. Turns out both my parents also take it. None of us have any side effects that we are aware of, and it controls the hypertension effectively. Never been on any other high blood pressure treatment."


"Very effective as long as it is taken like clockwork."


"I've been using tretinoin cream 0.05% for one month now, I've had a lot of itching burning peeling and yes a whole lot more breaking out. I bear the pain and suffering from this medicine and I'm very happy I did because my face is looking so much better and my acne is clearing up. I use it only in the night 20 min after washing my face with Cerava face wash along with Cerava SA lotion in the morning as my moisturizer and I have to say it's working very well. If you are using Tretinoin and you getting more break outs do not discontinue this medication keep on using it you will get great results."


"I highly recommend this medication for panic attacks.  Without Klonopin, I could not function in life...I couldn't hold a job, go on trips, even go to the store without having wave after wave of panic.  It works quickly, too, because with panic attacks, we want them gone or at least minimized.  I only use when needed as the body does become adjusted to them and its not as effective.  Thank goodness for this medication!"


"It has been great. Works a treat."


"This is a very intense antibiotic with persistent side effects. I have been on this medication for one month and continue to experience nausea and vomiting. I have been fortunate to not experience reddening of my saliva or tears, but other body fluids have changed. My hepatic enzymes have more than doubled baseline values and continue to climb. It does its job well, but it is a tough 4 months to get through."


"By far, the WORST birth control that I have ever taken. I made the mistake of switching from the ring to this pill and it was practically ruining my life. My sex drive was gone, I had major stomach cramps along with constipation, my mood was terrible and I was always angry or sad, I gained a lot of weight due to the fact that my appetite increased majorly, my periods were abnormal and my skin was the worst it has ever been. Overall, not the right birth control for my body and I stopped in the middle of my pack and I feel 100% better than I was. The only thing it did do good, for me, is I didn't 't get pregnant. Going back to the ring after this nightmare."


"The biggest problem for me with this medicine is bad taste and lack of appetite . Everything smells horrible and I am loosing weight like crazy. Anybody else has similar experience?"


"Oh it's great for pain."


"I'm 67 and have had an horrific experience with a dental implant process..its been almost a two year ordeal and still ongoing..
I began having really bad anxiety and depression...this was also aided by the death of my mother and 3 cousins I was close to.  In any case, it got worse and worse..my doctor doesn't believe in diazapam etc which I think it's a personal thing with her. So I'm changing doctors but can't get in till February.  A friend had a big bottle of Gabapentin after his dog died and told me it had a sedative effect. I hadn't slept more that 1-2 hours a night in months.  I took a 300 mg of Gabapentin  at night for 4 nights, since then I have slept through the night!!! This was HUGE for me..I've only taken it for 4 days... And it's like a miracle"


"I am a 35 year-old mother of two, recently divorced.  I just started dating a great guy. I'm not yet taking regular birth control. The condom he used on day 17 of my cycle slipped off while inside me(it was too small or not properly shaped for him). The condom ended up getting stuck behind my cervix(weird), but I was able to retrieve it after some panic. He did not ejaculate, but does produce a good amount of precum. I was worried, even though I knew I'd already ovulated. I decided to take My Way about five hours later. I got my period right on time. The side effects I experienced: cramping, fatigue (the whole two weeks), looser stools than normal, night sweats,moodiness, terrible 3 day migraine before period. It made pms 10x worse."


"I have been on this pill for about a month now. I have one more pill to take before I start my second month. I have increased breast tenderness and have LOST weight. I do however have a bigger appetite and my sex drive has increased a whole since coming off the Mirena. I did not have a period but not sure if I ever will since I haven't had a period since Dec of 2008. So far I like the pill but reading reviews I'm seeing that most REAL side effects don't come until after the second month."


"I'm starting on my 2nd set of Euflexxa injections..  My first series was 6 months ago.  I didn't think it helped my knees very much but thinking back over the last 6 months, I've had  very little discomfort in my knees.  I've hiked and played tennis all summer so maybe it did work!  I'm just now feeling the discomfort returning..so I'm now going in for another 'round' of shots . The shots are not painful for me...just a little uncomfortable but not real pain. My insurance pays for the injections.   I'm 62 and have bone on bone in both knees.  Just hoping to put off TKR for a while."


"This works great for my migraines.  Much better than Imitrex, Zomig nasal spray or Fioricet.  Every once in a while, it will fail to knock out a migraine, but on the whole, it's a lot more effective than Zomig. It can make you jumpy, but faced with being jumpy or in horrifying pain, I'll take jumpy any day.

If you used Midrin and it worked for you, it's worth giving it a try."


"Sleepy like a baby! Two days into taking it for my endometrosis pain. Doc said to start with 10mgs at first which does seem to knock me out.

I take Citalapram too, but this is for that midnight pain and excruciating pain in the early hours.

It's swings and roundabouts as each person reacts so differently to drugs. This for me is a 10 out of 10."

"Focused on the positive reviews. Did the same day prep began at 4:30 AM, colonoscopy at 12:30 PM. First 6 oz bottle with water and Peach Mango crystal light. 2 16 oz bottle of water within an hour. BM within 30 min. Same dose at 8:45 AM. Of course fatigued, light headache since no food. Day before light breakfast light lunch and light dinner. Gatorade in evening. Overall went as expected and recommend over two day prep."


"I have major depressive disorder. I was put on Lexapro, the side effects were unbearable. I got switched to Prozac dosage got switched for a couple of months and then got put on sertraline, became suicidal. I gave up for a year on medications and tried exercising but still had bad depression and was tired but couldn't sleep at all. Now, I've been on Pristiq for 9 days and some days I'm in amazing moods and some I'm really quiet and still have trouble sleeping but these reviews help me not want to give up yet. Thank you!"


"I am a 30y/o German automotive technician, when I was 18 I was hit by a drunk driver. Broke my lower back in 2 places,my hip and knee.  I was  taking 40mg OC and breakthru meds every 3 hrs , I was doing decent until in 2008 I was involved in a head on collision which broke my neck in 6 places. The pain form that was worse than anything I had experienced before. My dr increased my pain med doses, we tried everything from MS Contin to Opana ER, nothing was able to keep my pain under control for long. Being an automotive tech just added to the misery. Finally Exalgo came out and now 16mg/day with 2mg instant release dilaudid for breakthrough, my pain is finally controlled and I have my life back and don't have to take pills every few hours!"


"I was not this drug for a little over 6 months and boy did it work wonders. I had always had bad acne and nothing had seemed to work before. Topical creams, birth control, other prescription pills. I had severely dry lips and skin, it sucked but it was tolerable. The worse side effect I had from this drug were mood changes. My doctor decided to try to increase my dose and boy that was a mistake. I became depressed, suffered mood swings and had some horrible almost suicidal thoughts. If you have any mental illness I would not recommend this drug. I had to undergo monthly blood and pregnancy tests as well. I am very happy with the results but those were the worst 6 months of my life."


"I've had nexplanon for a little over a year and I HATE IT. I've gained around 50+ pounds , my mood swings are horrible. Every 5 minutes I'm either crying or feel depressed. Every little thing hurts my feelings . I was never like this before. I've only had two periods since I've got it. Then none for months. The only pros is that I don't get periods and haven't gotten pregnant. Other than that I hate what it is doing to my body and I will be getting it out tomorrow. I'll make another review on how I feel a few weeks after getting it out. Hopefully I lose the weight. I'll take my three day periods over this BS ANYDAY"


"I started Tegretol a week ago for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I was having more and more episodes of TN, and was miserable. Since starting the medicine, I have only had one brief episode of pain. I have had terrible itching since I started taking it. I saw a different Doctor today about the itching, and he said the dose was too high. Hopefully the 100 mg twice a day will relieve the TN pain and not cause itching. I am happy to try the Tegretol, because TN pain is unbearable. Worse than any pain I've ever had (including labor, c-section pain, and oral surgery pain."


"23, never been pregnant. I freaked myself out reading all the horror stories but the procedure was painless for me. I had 800mg ibuprofen and a quarter of Xanax before the appt. My np stabilized my cervix which felt like a hard, dull pinch followed by a cramp that faded away after about 10 seconds. I didn't feel pain or discomfort as an effect of the sounding or insertion. I had no cramps upon insertion or immediately afterwards. I had a frappe after the appt, went shopping, met up with a friend and slept like a baby at night. It's now the day after and I still don't feel a thing. However, my period was supposed to end today and it hasn't so it may be the IUD. Very positive experience!"


"I was put on Loestrin 24 Fe because I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. The only side effects I have had are a tenderness of breasts. As long as it is taken at the same time every day, there aren't any side effects. 3 day periods that are light beat no period and crippling cramps and mood swings, this beats that by miles!"


"Love this form of birth control and am super happy I stuck with it. Crampy every once in a while and am currently dealing with a small breakout but nothing big. Insertion was not a big deal and was definitely NOT the worst pain of my life, just felt uncomfortable and like bad deep period cramps. Would recommend to anyone!"


"Right here itching and burning and pretty much wanting to climb out my skin along with everyone else! I'll take natural childbirth over this overwhelming insane feeling any day! I got the Monistat-7 pack from target this morning and didn't want to wait until tonight to start... have tried my best to rinse it off/out and may just tough out the YI or go with garlic or something. We are trying to conceive this month and don't think I could put myself and my body through this again without a guilty conscience. Something is not right."


"sleep start shoulder and neck jerks"


"I know it's a bit early but thought I could always update as I continue on my Victoza journey. I started with the 0.6 dose on Dec 28, 2015. My blood sugars were continually averaging between 8.0 to 15.1. I noticed straight away my blood sugars were down in the 8's and 7's after meals and in the morning. After reading a lot of reviews on different sites I was terrified to take this. Side effects so far: mild nausea, not all the time, just here and there, a bit itchy at the injection sites, a bit bloated and mild constipation. You have to be careful not to overeat because you do feel full quick. Blood sugar in the morning 6.7, five pounds lost. will update."


"Very tired, a problem with my kidneys but my blood work is excellent. Thank God for this miracle."


"This was an effective form of birth control because it completely killed my desire to have sex.  When I did, it was sometimes painful because I could not get sufficiently lubricated or aroused.  It also fell out during sex but not very often.  Otherwise, I experienced no weight gain or hormonal issues."


"I have been on this paliperidone for 2 years. It's the best for managing the voices and delusions. They stopped and went away very quickly. Side effects were lactation, increased sex drive, insomnia. I would recommend it to anyone who needs it because it works very well"


"I have had the Mirena for about two weeks. Previously I would get cramps so bad from my period I would be bed ridden. I talk to my GYN and she suggested this. I can say that I still have cramping but it is not NEAR as bad as what it was. and I am still spotting. The spotting is so irregular that having sex is kinda off the table right now. although my sex drive is Crazy.  I am 19 years old, and its not to bad so far, but I am hoping it will get better, and that I can keep my normal weight."


"It has done NOTHING for my cough from pneumonia."


"Worst medication ever. Put it on 30 mins ago & immediately it started to burn. Just washed most of it out & it still burns.  I've never had this issue with the store brand."


"This medication absolutely works. It suppresses your appetite and sweet cravings. I was a eater who would eat beyond fullness and then feel awful but with this medication you will tend to eat smaller portions and can easily stop after feeling satiated. I've also been getting the Vitamin B12 injections which increases metabolism. I started phentermine 37.5 mg on July 1, 2009 weighing in at 263lbs. 2 weeks later weighed in at 250lbs. My last weigh in was July 29th, I weighed 243lbs. I've opted to eat sugar free snacks, which I cannot tell the difference. Also I've been drinking diet soda's and plenty of water because side effects may include dry mouth and constipation. My doctor recommends 30 minutes of cardio exercises/activities three times a week."


"I have been on Lamictal now for 15 years.   We started at around 600 mg/day,but gradually reduced this to 250 g/day,and then after a couple of small seizures this was upped to 300g and I now take200 g at night and 100g in the morning. My doctor says Lamictal dosage must be minimum 250 g  day to be effective, with a maxi dosage possible of 1 200 g / day.  We did try some Lamictal plus Keppra onthe way,but reverted tojust Lamictal and that was fine.  I have had very few seizures since I started - maybe once every3 years - but recently got 2 when I went to Australia and had had a 30 hour trip.  Stress and alcohol are linked to my attacks.  I have very light epilepsy discovered at age 32.  I am very happy with it"


"I have used Depo for years for Birth Control and to help with other uterine issues (heavy bleeding, etc).  I have never had side effects and it's wonderful..no periods! Talk about convenient. I'll never switch."


"I have schizoaffective disorder bipolar type this medicine is a wonder drug it has helped with seeing things and voices. Its also helped with the negative symptoms of schizophrenia too. Now for my bipolar its helped stabalize my moods and i am nowhere near depressessed anymore.I have had no side effects at all as well my weight has been the same without diet and exercise too"


"Been on 2mg once a day for just over 4 months. Mostly wiped out my anxiety and panic attacks, but does nothing for my waves of agitation and irritability. I was reluctant to try it because of the weight gain. Now I regret it, as I have gained 50 pounds!!! I am the heaviest I've ever been and hate it. My pdoc wanted to raise it at last appointment, or try me on another antipsychotic (I didn't realise how heavier I was at that point). I'm gonna choose the latter option when I next see her. The weight gain on this is worse than quetiapine (which I also came off for the same reason)."


"I've been taking this bc for a few years now.  Other pills made me really sick so I was excited to find a pill that worked.  My boobs got ginormous (one more than the other haha) but that goes away after a while.  When I started I would always get my period in the middle of the pack...  I tried stopping the pills and restarting to get the period at the right time but nope it stayed in the middle.  I do have to say it was really really light and maybe two days max.  No cramping whatsoever.  I was such a happy camper bc without bc I'd feel like I was gonna pass out from the pain.  So after a year or so my periods completely stopped.  That was alarming at first and I kept taking tests too make sure I wasn't pregnant. I don't worry any more."


"I was on this birth control to actually get pregnant because my periods are so irregular...I've literally gone 9 months without a period so as you can see no periods no babies...This birth control is horrible I've only been on it for 3 weeks now. I've had terrible mood swings acne break outs terrible cramping to the point of going to the hospital thinking something was wrong with me. Felt very nauseous and light headed and bad headaches. By the 3rd week I had clumps of hair coming out in the shower...I've never had any of these issues before. The only good I can give this is the fact that it made my period light and actually come on time."


"I used to have terrifying, gory nightmares. Now I sleep through the night with very few times having to deal with horrible dreams. It does make me pretty dizzy though which in the middle of the day at work does not help."


"I am 22 and  have a disease called Addison's Disease. It's an adrenal insufficiency and due to this I have chronic pain in my muscles and joints and constant stomach ache when I go into an Addisonian Crisis. My pain gets ten times worse, my doctor gives me 2 mg I.V. Dilaudid whenever this happens and it works wonders. It helps me sleep through the pain also. It is an AMAZING medication."


"Have Osteoarthritis in both shoulders. Have received 3 sets of injections over 24 months, 6 months apart with no side effects. Excellent benefit after shot, diminishing proportionally over period. Decided to stop weight lifting after last shot to see what would happen (age 67) and found the pain has not returned. It has been 8 months now and pain level is quite tolerable with NSAIDs. Will start moderate exercise program next week to determine what level will be an acceptable compromise to inactivity."


"I suffered from hormonal and cystic acne on my chin/jawline and around my mouth and my dermatologist prescribed this for me. I began using it in June and the first few days of use I felt my acne getting way worse so I stopped using it for a couple days but my derm told me to stick with it so I began using it every single day for the next 2 months and my acne has all disappeared and my scars are fading. I barely break out anymore and my skin looks so much better thanks to this product. (Side note: for the first couple weeks of using this my skin dried out a little bit and kind of peeled but everntuslly my skin adjusted and it doesn't dry me out anymore) Just stick with it ;)"


"I have had Mirena in me for about 6 months. I thought it will be a safe for me. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one feeling theses side effects. I have no sex drive at all, I'm dry during sex , intercourse is painful, throughout these 6 months I still feel lots of cramping in my uterus, worse then a period, my back hurts, and such mood swings I can't control. "


"my bp goes up when i lay down giving me insomiia. This med helps me go to sleep but not stay asleep and I sometimes have vivid dreams on this med but I still think its worth a try.Iit does provide a relaxing feeling"
