"Initially prescribed Lansoprazole 30mg due to acid reflux.

I took it for 3 days with side effects (diarhorroea, dry mouth and stomach pain), so I called my doctor and found out I had H Pylori.

I had to continue taking Lanso. with Clarithromycin and amoxicillin for 7days (known as triple therapy).

Honestly after taking the triple therapy, I began to have withdrawal symptoms. For some strange reason, I used to be really hungry when being on the medication. Not anymore.

Dr. recommends I continue taking Lanso. 30mg once a day after the triple therapy until I "feel better really". I've been on Lans. for 4 days now after the therapy and I'm still experiencing sour, foul taste in the mouth, gassy bubbling in my digestive tract.. no hunger."


"I had botox injections into bladder about 3 weeks ago but it has made no difference to my OAB so far. The procedure itself is quite uncomfortable and I actually felt my symptoms were worse the week after I had it done.

I know it takes two weeks to take effect so was really hoping to see a difference as the constant need to go to the toilet is so stressful. But unfortunately 3 weeks in and I don't see much if any difference. I do seem to be able to go longer through the night but daytime is no better.

I've had no other side effects so don't regret trying, just wish it would work!"


"I have been taking opiates for 2 years now, but as soon as I started taking morhpine everything came to a halt. I hadn't had a BM in over 8 days. I took the Movantik, and nothing happened at all the first day. Took another one the next, still nothing. Woke up the next morning, and, yeah I had some cramping and gas pain, but I also emptied my bowels of what seemed to be an entire week's worth of poop. Yes, it hurt, but not because of the drug. It hurt because unfortunately, my movement had hardened and was difficult to pass. However, the relief I felt after all was said and done is amazing. I am having regular-sized, normal movements now. None of the withdrawal symptoms, and none of the extreme discomfort like gas, vomiting, or cramps."


"I had the Implanon put in about 6 weeks after my son was born. I was going to try the Mirena, but my cervix was too small and the nurse couldn't insert it. So, she can back with an alternative-the Implanon. To be honest, I wasn't really into the idea of having something in my arm, but I knew I probably would miss pills again...so I had it inserted. That was April 2008. 18 months later, I'm liking it a better than I a year ago. Those first 8 months awful. I picked up a few pounds which I didn't mind because I've always been super skinny, but the unpredictable cycles were awful. My periods had always been light and short, but with the Implanon, they became MUCH heavier and longer! It's convenient, but it has its ups and downs!"


"This is a wonderful medicine.  It worked really well on the most stubborn fungal infection I've ever had. I had tried everything on the market and nothing would work until this.  I'm not going to lie, this stuff burns like crazy.  You will scream and cry because it burns that bad for about 10 minutes. Stick with it and you will get rid of the infection.  After about the 4th day it quit burning when I used it - and finally, I got rid of the infection. It's expensive even with insurance but well worth the cost. They gave me a coupon to use and it brought the cost down to about $35."


"Have been diagnosed with Rosacea that I have had apparently for years, was not willing to seek medical advice and treatment due to money concerns. Two and 1/2 years since my last consulting with Dr. And all I can say is I am amazed at the results topically applied Metronidazole gel has given me. I am grateful for being able to shave my face without feeling like it was a blood sacrifice. Only one regret, why didn't I do it sooner. :) happier now"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"Let me start by saying every bodies experiences are different, but after reading all the reviews I seriously expected the worse.  I am now on day 7, first day was ok, 2nd day slight headaches, 3rd day when I went to bed I had a stomach spasm, once I went to the bathroom I was fine, Yes you have headaches but I take advil for them, slightly constipated and the stool is dark, urine was dark, but the worse of it all for me was the nasty taste in my mouth, no vomiting, no diarrhea, just make sure you eat with your meals and take a probiotic, I take Accuflora, I read some people say don't eat yogurt, I did and I was just fine, 3 more days to go, lets all pray this works, Oh and I missed just one day of work."


"I just got skyla yesterday. The pill was not working for me and I mentioned maybe wanting skyla. Before I knew it my gyno was in the room with the kit read to insert it. So I was not prepared so I didn't take any pain killers. My cervix is very far up so she had to clamp it to pull it down. The insertion was the worst pain I have ever felt down there. Felt like knives turning as she inserted it. After I was unclamped the pressure started to go away. I went home and took some tylonal and a nap. I woke up and went to work for 12 hours. Worst decision of my life. I recomend staying home the day you get it done.It's day 2 and cramps aren't horrible but still are there and I'm spotting. I'm to afraid to put a tampon in or try having sex"


"Been on it for about 5 weeks now with a 1200 calorie diet. I am a 39 year old male that is 5' 11" and started at 287lb. I have lost 24 lb. So far and love this medication. I have had no side effects other than a little 'fogginess' here and there which may be more of the calorie restriction than the medication. I have no problem with sticking to my diet plan thanks to this medication. I highly recommend it. My insurance doesn't cover it and it is a little pricey though."


"I've found a lot of these posts quite encouraging.  I started taking Lexapro 6 to 8 years ago - 20mg and definitely felt it was a miracle for that entire 6 to 8 years.  I was really stressed and couldn't concentrate at work.  Sure, I still had stresses, but they didn't seem to be unmanageable. I was probably doing a little 'too' fine because I tried to get off of it about 3 months ago because I want to see if I could actually go without medicines.  BIG MISTAKE!!  A couple of life stressers recently popped up and sent my anxiety into overdrive.  I immediately called my Dr. to get my prescription refilled.  Currently on day 4 and battling anxiety and insomnia, but hopeful that the magic will return soon! I think I'm a lifer on this medicine!"


"I just tried this medicine because I had continuously heard it worked. I will say I felt alot of energy for the first couple of hours after taking it and I did lose 5 pds the first two days..which was GREAT! but... I experienced terrible side effects..other than the normal dry mouth, some jitters and restlessness... I experienced severe mood swings, irritability and I became angry out of no where. I know side effects are different for everyone.. This was my personal experience.. I Think the medicine could've really helped me with losing weight, but I'm not willing to have the side effects. Good luck to everyone!!"


"I took the 200 mg strength and was given 16 tablets. On the morning in which I took the very last dose I came out in the most horrendous rash I have EVER experienced and have told I must NEVER take that drug again.  The rash - over a period of about 3 hours - spread over my entire body, including my face.  I was hot and itchy beyond belief.  My doctor was absolutely shocked as she said that any reaction usually appears after taking just a few tablets. I'm in U.K. so some questions are not relevant to me."


"I have been on Wellbutrin now for 6 days. I was amazed how wonderful I felt on the first day I took it. I had been on  another medicine for 6 months and it never help my depression so my Doc. put me on this one. I feel like a real person again. The only I am having trouble with is chirpping in my ears and foggy head. It is hard to keep my thoughts together sometimes."


"Went through 2 rounds of botox injections.  Terrible side effects: stiff neck with pain. Cold chill down my back. Difficulty swallowing that has worsen with time. It's been 2 1/2 years since I had the injections!  I wish I had never tried Botox. Looking for a specialist to help with my swallowing problem. Still have migraines."


"It works well as a birth control however I have been on different forms of ortho tri cycle for 10 years and the insurance company just recently switched me to this after I had my daughter. I have NEVER had any side effects from any other pill but these make me nauseous and lightheaded about a half hour after I take them and it lasts all day. I've tried taking them with food, water, at night. Nothing helps. Privifem and spritec were SOOO much better."


"Be careful when taking this medication. I took my first tablet yesterday in the morning and started feeling unwell during the day. Was out at a restaurant for lunch and started feeling so nauseous and burst into tears, and had to leave before my food arrived. Went home and felt so sick I slept for a couple of hours. Woke up and had some food, thought I was starting to feel better but a couple hours after that I collapsed (luckily I was at home with family) and was vomiting and had a severe fever, can't put into words just how horrible I was feeling. Woke up still feeling sick, of course didn't take another tablet, and am starting to feel better now about 38 hours after taking the tablet."


"I am about halfway through my 2nd pack of Lo Loestrin Fe.  The first month, I had minor spotting on one day, no big deal. I also noticed that I had a couple of pimples but since there were only a couple, I figured it could have been my normal hormonal changes during the month.  However, halfway through this second month and my chin/mouth area has never had such acne!  I had occasional acne, like many people, but 90% of the time my skin was clear before.   Now I feel like I wake up everyday with a new batch of red spots.  I want to stop this pill now (midpack), but don't want to give myself menstrual issues at the same time so I'm trying to stick it out until the end of the pack."


"After 6 years of intractable migraines my Neurologist gave me Botox shots. I now go in every 3 months for shots. It has dropped my daily pain level from an 8-9 to 5-6 which I can live with, believe me it's not perfect but much better. My head is sore for about 3 days after the shots, which feels like bee stings, and I usually lay around with ice packs on my noggin."


"It was really effective for me. My doctor only prescribed it for two months though. I lost 34 pounds."


"I have an extremely high tolerance to pain, and this product brought me to my knees! I was up laying on my floor with a fan blowing on me for a good hour along with ice at 3 am. I think the worst part of the treatment is that little tube of cream. I was finally doing ok till I decided to move on to the cream to follow the treatment instructions. This put me in the shower washing with vinegar and water ... just pure FIRE!  Fortunately I had some vagisil that I used after I was all cleaned off. It has taken the edge off. Hoping I am going to see better moments soon. AWFUL!!!  Don't risk it!"


"Used early right after flare up, works pretty quickly"


"Diagnosed in July 2016. I suspected it was HIV when I broke out in several(roughly 12) canker sores in Mouth. I googled this and HIV was listed as possible cause. Had no other symptoms. On August 9th before taking medication my results were Viral Count 396 and CD4 544. Been on Atripla since the 9th. As of November 11th my results were Undetectable and CD4 737. So it does work for me at least. The first few days/week I did have side effects. Basically dizziness. It was really bad first couple days. After first week I really.have not had side effects that I notice. I can't measure depression level of drug because 10 year relationship ended, diagnosed with cancer, and HIV diagnosis all same week kind of make anyone depressed. Take before bed!!"


"I have had this issue for several years. I am 20.  I would get dressed and have to change before I left the house because I would be soaked through in a few minutes. My clothes were stained. I couldn't wear light color clothes and always wore a sweater or jacket to hide the wetness. I tried every clinical strength over the counter product on the market to no avail. I finally asked my doctor and she wrote me a prescription for Drysol. It worked after the first application. I couldn't believe I suffered all that time. My insurance covers it, but it is cheaper than my copay. It literally changed my life. I now wear cotton blouses with confidence. No side effects. Just don't use it after shaving."


"I just had Implanon inserted 2 weeks ago or so and I have only had a few problems and that's craving for food. I started my period again not a heavy period. I love the Implanon. 2 of my friends have it and they have no problems. So far so good."


"I have felt horrible for ten years since they removed my thyroid. I was told I didn't metabolize Synthroid properly. My doctor tried everything with negative results. I recently came across a published paper on the NIH website and it mentioned Tirosint. My doctor had never heard of it but she was willing to give it a try. That was two months ago and I have never felt better. I know the drug is expensive but there is a manufacturers coupon online. I ended up paying $35.00 but I would gladly pay full price. That's how good it is!!!!"


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


"It's going on a year I've been on it. My boyfriend and I had sex a week or so later and was fine. My first few months I was on a constant period. Not really heavy, but enough to aggravate anyone. I was extremely sensitive, and now I'm having terrible terrible acne. (sigh)"


"I am diabetic and have itches over several parts of the body. I discovered Lanacane by accident and it works wonders for me. The problem with Lanacane is that body heat makes it melt and it runs off on the bed, in the clothing, etc, therefore the duration on the skin is reduced. Also, I have discovered that with repeated use, the skin became red. I am now applying a generous layer of body powder (talc) over Lanacane. This prevents Lanacane from melting and running off the skin. The duration is about tripled, and there is no more irritated, red skin. The more powder you apply the better. You end up looking like fried chicken but you will feel much much better."


"I had a very serious dry eye condition that showed up after all my cancer treatments were completed. I had no idea what was happening to me other than a red bubble appeared in one eye. My eye doctor suggested TheraTears 4x day plus taking nutrition product. It cleared up and to this day, I only use TheraTears in my eyes. Florida's allergy season is all year round for me and my eyes. It's great and the only drops to go in my eyes. It was suggested that I buy the individual vials as for some reason contamination is a factor I have to keep in mind for my eyes. I have not had dry eye since. Thank you TheraTears and I love the coupons."


"Began to take two weeks ago (7/8) starting with 1 pill on 7/8, then 2 pills a day (morning before breakfast and evening before dinner). The first week was dramatic (lost 5  pounds). The second week was slow, only 2 pounds. It is my body's way of fighting back not to let go of fat. But 7  pounds in two weeks is amazing. The most important change is sleeping through the night. I used to get up middle of the night with prescription sleeping pill. Then, I go to the kitchen and eat some snacks. Yes, I am a night eater. Now, that habit is gone. The second night after sleeping through the night, I dropped the sleeping pill. I do not need a sleeping pill anymore and I do not eat in the middle of the night. I don't feel hunger anymore."


"I've been on Beyaz for almost a year, Since them I've gone through times of weight gain and loss which could just be my body's normal function. Recently I have noticed aversions to certain foods, nausea, severe migraines, and lack of sleep. I haven't noticed a change in sex drive. My skin in flawless, but recently I've had severe migraines. "


"I never write any reviews, but like many of the ladies here, I was totally freaking out and this was the only way that helped my calm down. I usually have 30 day cycles, and the condom slipped off on day 18 of my cycle. My boyfriend went to buy the pill for me and I took it with a meal around 4 hours after the incident. I was supposed to get my period on 25th of June but I got it this morning!! 23rd! The point is that I am extremely grateful and I really learned my lesson. So please don't stress, Good luck!"


"I am a 35 year old woman, who has taken meds for 1/2 her life. I struggle with obsessive compulsive disorder, intrusive thoughts and overall depression. Wellbutrin.. I take 150mg a day. It has changed my life.. I have less obsessive thinking, more motivation and for some reason care way less about what people think."


"I've been taking these pills for 3 weeks & then I stopped for 7 days & then last night I took one & I was up all night throwing up, is this normal after I've been taking it for three weeks?"


"Put on metoprolol and paroxetine for high blood pressure and insomnia. Paroxetine did not relax for sleep but gave all night insomnia. Changed to Buspar 8 years ago and the hair trigger on anger had a safety put on.  If I miss my morning 10 mg I can feel by mid-day that stressor can blow my cool. Often feel fuzzy for 30 minutes of I have not eaten. Still got stress but it keeps the launch button cover in place 98% of time.  Emotional (edge of tears) from outside triggers (TV) have evolved but doc says handling everything that has been dumped on my plate would bring most men to their knees and that IF I would accept it he would prescribe something for depression so I guess I'll try his fluoxetine and see."


"I started this medication on March 17th 2016.  I was not informed of the gradual dosage and was horribly sick the first day on the full 3mg.  It has been over 4 weeks now and after following the correct measures and working up to the 3mg dose I am now 7 lbs down from 253.  The first week I had the headaches but ibuprofen and lots of water took that down and they eventually went away.  I noticed even in the first week I stopped snacking because I had no appetite.  It was not that food made me sick or anything I just didn't...need it.  If I eat too much then I do feel nauseous."


"I was having horrible anxiety attacks, panic attacks and was border line manic. I was going through a lot of stress and hit my limit. My family urged me to see a Dr who started me on 2.5 lexapro for a week then up to 5 mg the week after. I stayed on 5 mg for 1 month seeing improvements. Eventually I decided to bump up to 7.5 which I'm currently on . I still get anxiety but I am able to feel in control.  I don't have attacks anymore. I'm sleeping better and eating again. Side effects only lasted the first month . I got really tired 20 min after taking it , drowsy, night sweats. Make sure to take it with a snack, I find it hits the stomach like a rock. Over all has given me my life back. And I don't feel like I'm on medication."


"WELL 50 pounds gained later next week I finally get my mirena iud removed. Had it in almost a year and did enjoy the care freeness of it and lack of period but gained uncontrollable weight and made me feel so insecure this past year. I know everyone reacts differently to iud's and I was warned by my doctor and the nurse putting it in that weight gain is common but silly me thinking it wouldn't effect me. I would never recommend the mirena to a friend unless they were very active gym members or could use a few extra pounds on their body haha"


"I was in a car accident in December of 07' and have had severe neck and left shoulder pain since. My pain specialist has done various treatments including Facet Joint Injections, with no long terms results. At my recent visit with him I was complaining of the same pain with no relief, he handed me two sample tubes of Voltaren Gel. I have been using it for about a week now and have had a full week without pain. This stuff really works. I have been impressed so far. Thanks Voltaren."


"I am taking 70 mg of Vyvanse and also taking Contrave (which contains Wellbutrin). I was feeling ok, but multiple tragedies kept me in a severe state of depression, anxiety and overwhelming sense of apathy. every day I wanted to die. The dr gave me some samples of this med to take with current meds, and last night was the first time I took it. I did feel nauseous, but my doc had told me to take it at night and with food, so that helped since I went to bed once I started feeling sick. I woke up with so much energy. I actually sprung out of bed ready to take on the day, and looked forward to it. I was shocked that it had such a fast effect, but so happy because it's been a really long time since I've felt this good. Hoping it will last."


"I just wanted to share my experience to hopefully provide some peace of mind to anyone out there who was in my position. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on Sept. 24th, and he finished inside me because he didn't pull out fast enough. I was ovulating during that time. We are not ready to have a kid... I was devastated. The next morning, I took Plan B as soon as possible (about 8 hours later). I had to wait 2 grueling weeks to get my period. During that time, I had pretty intense breast tenderness and swelling, but no other symptoms. The morning after I was supposed to get my period, my boyfriend and I picked up a pregnancy test. Right as I sat down to take it, I GOT MY PERIOD! Please don't worry yourself sick like I did. Plan B works!"


"This is the worst birth control, but it does protect against pregnancy very well. I've had this in for 8 months and I'm still on my period. It doesn't go away. My OBGYN even put me on more birth control, which didn't help AT ALL. I have crazy mood swings, depression, and I cry for no reason all the time. I didn't even think about it being a side effect from this until my boyfriend told me I'm always getting mad, and that's not like me. I can't wait to get it removed and go on with my life!"


"Worked well for the most part. I found that, on average, once every 7-10 days I become somewhat anxious and agitated (making it hard to sleep) after taking the Ambien. I don't know why it only happened occasionally but it was more common when I took 5 mg rather than 10 mg. In the end I switched to Restoril (temazepam) 30 mg.

Dose 5-10 mg at night

Age 21

For primary insomnia"


"I am a 35 year old woman who has been fighting with my eating issues since I was a child.  Thanks to this medicine for the first time in my life I am not compelled to finish my plate and am perfectly happy sticking to a 1200-1500 calorie diet.  I finally know when I'm full from eating. I have had zero side effects from contrave.  No nausea, no constipation, and thankfully no seizures.  I had decided along with my doctor that the possible side effects were far outweighed by the results.  I started the pills April 21st and am down 50 pounds as of June 22nd.  This is a life changer!"


"I've been on the NuvaRing since 2005 and I love it.  No pregnancies, my period shortened from about 7 days to 4 days.  I also used to have bad cramps but this helped a lot.  I've tried Ortho Tri-cyclen (hated it, gained a lot of weight that took many years to take off), Tri-Norinyl (liked this but still had to take a pill everyday), Paraguard IUD (hurt for the 1st week then was fine, expelled it after 3 months though).  My sex drive did not decrease on NuvaRing.  My only complaint is my skin is a little worse and every once in a while I have to take it out during sex.  Thumbs up from my boyfriend and myself."


"I got it put in almost 3 years ago (my time to get it removed is November). It is very effective I've never had any type of pregnancy scare at all throughout the last 3 years. I did lose a lot of weight mostly in my boobs and butt, which was annoying but I guess better than gaining it. At first my period was very irregular I'd get it randomly for a few days then it wouldn't come back for months then I'd be on it consistently for months at a time. Now I haven't gotten one in at least 6 months. Overall, very effective and I liked it cuz it's just there you don't have to worry about taking a pill everyday or anything. I don't even feel it or notice it there, first couple days I got it it was really bruised but after that it's been fine."


"I have been on Januvia for 6 months. My sugar levels are great. No side effects. It makes me feel not hungry. I was taking Amaryl once a day and metformin twice a day, plus Diovan for blood pressure. Now I am only on Januvia. I started going to the gym and eating healthier, I now have lost 60 lbs. Personally it is the best medicine I have found."


"I had my Implanon put in February 2011 I only had a period the first month then never had one again. Only thing I didn't like was the pain in my arm. But otherwise it was great it didn't give me any problems and I didn't gain much weight and the sex never changed. "


"Was put on 10mg for intense panic attacks, and later moved up to 20mg. This stuff has worked wonderfully! I feel like I'm finally the way I should be - you know how you see other people who are completely relaxed and at peace, and you wonder, "why can't I be like that? Why do I have all this anxiety for no reason?" Well, all of that is gone! It's amazing! I would recommend Celexa to anyone. The only downside is I experienced A LOT of side effects the first month I was on it - increased anxiety, jaw-clenching, headaches, insomnia. But, if you bear down and get yourself through the first month, it's worth it. I finally have my life back!"


"ABSOULTELY AWFUL!!!! I was given this for depression and it made everything so much worse! I only took it for 4 days and days 3-4 were so bad I was concerned. Day 3 I was manic and skipped a midterm, completely unable to control my emotions in any form. Day 4 I awoke confused and disoriented. As the day progressed I was manic, had numb hands, couldn't articulate well, had cognitive impairments, and stiff muscles. It was a LIVING NIGHTMARE. I am also an alcoholic and two years sober so feeling anything besides normal was such a detriment to the drug I don't care if I would have gotten over those symptoms - this drug is pure poison."


"Loved this medicine, helped me a lot. Problem is I got glaucoma."


"I have had a horrible cold and cough on and off for a couple of months and the doctor tried every cough medication in the book that you could possibly name. Finally he tried me with this promethazine and codeine syrup and I could not believe how much better I felt. I would recommend to anyone with a severe cough and cold."


"So I quit smoking cigarettes with vaping and now I'm trying to quit vaping with Chantix. I was told as long as there is nicotine in the juice I'm using it should work. I started week 3 today I've noticed a decrease for the want/need so I'm hopeful this is going to work. I just don't know if I should switch back to cigarettes?? I quit those on Oct 17 last year so it's been almost one whole year without one."


"I have been taking Topamax now for ten years.  I love it.  It has controlled my seizures and the side effects are minimal. I still get tired but not as bad as the other drugs I have been on."


"I had brain surgery in December 1996. A tumor was found in the middle of my brain. I had been having blackouts for 16 years before they could find it.  I had been on Dilantan before the surgery. It worked but the doctor said Keppra was much better so I was put on Keppra after the operation and haven't had a black out since."


"I really liked this product at first.  Great for the redness. Lately when using it the eye I use this product in becomes enlarged, impairing my vision for most of the day. I do wear contacts and am on simvastatin (for cholesterol) so this could affect it."


"Works great for on the spot panic attacks. Takes about 30 minutes to work but after that no more panic. This drug has saved me many of times!"


"Fast Freeze was cheaper and it worked better than some of the other brands I have used."


"I was in a rollover car accident and suffered a broken wrist and two herniated discs which nobody will operate on because I am 22.  I have severe pain from my back laying down and sitting up.  I was at first on Darvocet, then hydrocodone, and then a kind doctor wrote me Percocet.  It has helped my pain a lot.  My father is also on it.  He has had four back surgeries and about to have a 5th (lumbar fusion) and he takes it 5x and it has done wonders for him.  It helps him to get out of bed."


"i've tried so many different things .now this is amazing ...works great.finally."


"I got my Implanon inserted in May of 2010. I also thought it would be the better choice for me because I wouldn't have to worry about taking a pill everyday. The doctor tells you that it will take your body the first 6 months to get used to the Implanon and "figure out what it wants to do with your body". 9 months later, I am among the percentage that has the negative side effects. I haven't stopped bleeding since May. I will be off of it for 1 or 2 days, but then it starts again. The blood flow is regular. I also noticed that I began to get headaches, back pain, abnormally irritable, feet swelling, and constant acne breakouts. In the end, abstinence had become my form of birth control. So I got it taken out and I'm on the pill."


"My daughter is 16 and was diagnosed with Von Willebrand's when she was 13. I have found that it is the only thing that stops her menstrual bleeding. We have tried birth control pills to prevent her from having menstruation, but that didn't work. Without Stimate, she had bled for 7 weeks straight. She reports no side effects to me."


"6 foot male 210 pounds three months 180 pounds zero side effects. Great product."


"I've been suffering from depression for years. The last part of the 90's was okay, but starting in 2000 things went downhill fast. Two close friends moved overseas, the company I worked for layed off after 19 years. In January my father passed away, another friend was murdered by a stalker and to top it all off I had to my cat of 21 years down. I found myself not wanting to go outside, getting panicky, etc. My doctor tried a host of medicines but the only thing that worked was klonopin and Adderall. Thank God for these medicines."


"If I could give this drug a negative rating, I would. PLEASE be careful taking it. I sought the patch to use on 6-day cruise after reading that it was more effective than meclizine. Meclizine is a JOY compared to scopalamine. On patch, I was @ the ship's infirmary every day with low bp and feeling overheated (cruise was in Canada during fall - not warm weather!) Wicked, constant headache, nausea and could barely keep eyes open for entire trip. Ruined vacation. Disembarked and went straight to ER. Was completely dehydrated. ER doc informed me of documented instances of scopolamine psychosis. VERY dangerous med, here!"


"As soon as I started taking Portia everyone around me started noticing a huge change in my attitude. In the tiniest minor fights my boyfriend and I would get into after 2 months of taking Portia and we had been together fight free for 5 months, I would start crying out of nowhere. I have been on Portia for 7 months now and I'm depressed all day, I just think of negative things all the time, if something goes wrong whether or not it has something to do with me I immediately start thinking its my fault. As far as acne and weight gain I haven't noticed much of a difference."


"My experience with Latuda was not good. At 20 mg for about a month I decided it wasn't working well but my psych asked me to try upping the dose. After a couple weeks I found that it gave me akathasia, which was far worse than my bipolar. It also increased my appetite.  I am taking 20 mg Lexapro as well, which is fairly effective for me."


"I don't see a difference in thoughts or feelings."


"On the first day of taking this medicine I had major dizziness, nausea, and a headache. I had a hard time focusing. I quit taking this medication, and will not take this medicine again."


"Y'all, like so many others have said, this is a life saver! It got me off my addiction to benzos.
I had the "euphoric" feeling after a couple of days which unfortunately went away but I'm still happy all the time.
I'm no longer having extreme emotions. I thought something was wrong bc I've never felt this way!
It's been 4 months and I take 100mg 3x day.
I may have had side effects in the beginning but they've gone away.
I have however gained 30 pounds in 4 months. That is NOT normal. So it's come to the point that I'm gaining weight too rapidly to control and I must stop the meds. I'm very sad about this, except I'm not bc the lyrica will not allow me to be sad. So yeah. EXTREME WEIGHT GAIN. But amazing drug."


"I have had epilepsy from 18 months old started on epilim. By the time I turned 3 I was seizure free till I was 16. Just before my maths exam I had a seizure wasn't exactly sure what caused. I went to my GP I was put on 100mg of lamotrogine then went up to 250mg of lamotrogine finished on 300 the drug didn't work at all.

I was then referred to see a neurologist and we started off taking keppra 500mg alongside with the lamotrogine. We then moved to 750mg or keppra with the lamotrogine BD.After all of that we then moved to 1000mg BD since then to know I'm now on 4grams a day along side 600mg of oxcarbazapine and currently on 6mg of Perampanel. I'm getting the drowsiness tiredness and from the keppra I'm turning aggressive."


"This pill works! Don't read these reviews 24 hrs a day like I did. I was so scared and worried myself sick but it works. I was on birth control but didn't take it at the same times. (wasn't using as contraception, more to regulate periods). Period ended June 22nd. Incident on night June 24th, took pill June 25th, 5 hrs after incident. Withdrawal bleeding July 1-8. Regular period was supposed to come July 13, I got it one day early on the 12th. So basically two weeks of bleeding in a month. Even after that, it was heavy but I was worried about implantation and all that. But I got my next period August 8th and it is two days early according to my birth control packet, but right on time if I counted 28 day cycle! THIS WORKS. TRUST IT!"


"I use to be addicted to xanax even though my first doctor in NC told me the drug was not addicted. I have gone from taking 3mg of xanax to almost not taking the drug at all.  I can focus much better and the sleep is unbelievable. A dreamlike state.  I sometimes sleep through my first alarm,  but eventually wake up.  At first I feel groggy, but after a shower I feel great. I feel like with any other drug your body builds up a tolerance and my doctor has gradually increases my dosage. This is a wonder drug for me.  I wish I would have known about it before getting addicted to xanax. The blurred vision eventually goes away."


"Update - I have been on this medication since March 9 (6 weeks, 3 days) and have lost 14 pounds.  I think it works well.  The only complaint is still the constipation issue but if you stay on top of things (Miralax every day, faithfully) it will be ok."


"Migraines I understand, and I used to take Excedrine migraine decades ago before my kids were born and it worked...that being said, I don't know what they did to these pills, but they took an extreme toll on me after just two more than 12 hours apart.
I had multiple anxiety/panic attacks, shortness of breath (may have been related to the attacks), a feeling of what I can only describe as Deja vu constantly for hours that was debilitating,  fatigue, nausea and more. I have no bad medical history of any kind, no depression, no mental issues, never had an anxiety/panic attack, sleep and eat well, and I've never used any illegal drugs or even prescription drugs other than the birth control I have been known for years."


"I have been on the ring for 3-4 yrs now, and I know everyone's body responds differently but I have had ZERO complaints about the Nuva ring! I absolutely LOVE it. It does not come out during sex, no dryness down there, high sex drive!!! Its great only downside is, it doesn't help with acne so I might just have to change but I am really considering it very hard because I honestly love this form of contraception."


"Hey everyone
So I contracted HSV2 about two and a half years ago. Devastating but my life is not over. I began taking Acyclovir when I had outbreaks, but the occurred about every two months in the beginning, which is not ideal. I started taking Valacyclovir 500 mg daily. It worked (mostly) but I would get one or two outbreaks every couple months. I finally switched to 1g a day. I have not had an outbreak since and I feel absolutely AMAZING. I have been on Valacyclovir for I would say about a year and 4 months. My boyfriend is so supportive and does not have it. I only take it now so that I don't transmit to him.
I have a question though: How long can people take it DAILY? Not just for outbreaks? I have been trying to do some research.THANK"


"awful!this med is soooo bad.doesn't stick to cheek or absorb the BUP.It had me doubting myself?And........ahhhhhhh."......Why are they pushing this BS??????worst 2 weeks I have had in treatment..........Sick,withdrawing, but go back toDr Tuesday to change back to suboxone,almost relapsed"........Hating the Insurance now for only covering this stuff?"


"Suffered for 10 years. Uloric a life changing drug. No flares for the last 5 years. One 40mg tab allows me to eat and drink anything I want. Blessed with Cadillac health coverage, 90 day supply only $15.00. Would gladly pay anything for this type of relief. Tophi build ups completely dissolved."


"Radical prostatectomy and radiation, probably 75% with 80mg."


"I have been on Lunesta since 2010. Worked like a charm. Definitely left a metallic taste even the next morning, but I did not care because I could sleep and wake refreshed.  I immediately switched to the generic once available and had no issues. However, earlier this year I noticed that the medication no longer had the metallic taste BUT I also noticed that it stopped working.  It is obvious that the manufacturer has changed the inactive ingredients to do away with the side effect of the metallic taste but now the medication is NOT working and I don't know what I am going to do."


"This is poison and can cause long term muscular, joint and nerve damage and degeneration.  After one pill I felt leg pain and tightness that felt muscular in nature.  I talked to my doctor and she didn't associate it with cipro.  After another day of taking it, the pain began migrating, heading into my joints and moving all around my body.  I popped my shoulder and had excruciating pain taking my briefcase out of my car.  I read on line and found out about cipro toxicity.  I called my doctor and said I read about this and given my symptoms I thought I should stop it.  They agreed.  I have been off the pills for 5 days now and still have the roving pains.  Mostly in legs, shooting, burning, aching, tight alternating. Hands,shoulders,knees..."


"I took Adipex two years ago and loss 70 pounds! I'm 5'11 and went from size 20 to size 10/12. Dont let that 1-2 pounds per week loss without exercising fool you into thinking you dont have to. You should at least walk every day or some sweat producing exercise 3-4 days or week to get the most out of it. I used the seated elliptical 4-5 days per week. Its quick if you commit to exercise, water and the meds. No eating after 800pm. I've lost from 2lbs to 21pounds per month with exercise. I've gained 20 pounds back over the two years and am now wearing a 14. I went back on Adipex a month and a half ago and plan to get down to a 10/12 by June 30th. ;-)"


"I'd have to say that I'm of a mixed opinion on Pradaxa. While I know that a blood thinner is necessary in my life, given my current condition, the downside to any of them is frustrating. Pradaxa's downsides seem to be fairly minimal and as a result is the drug I've chosen.  I really like the ability to reverse the effects with a single dose of a counter drug. Where I've run into problems with it is primarily digestive. The acidic nature of the med has caused some stomach upset but more significantly diarrhea, loose stools and leakage. This has led to abrasion bleeding externally and problems with cleanliness. Recently, my doctor recommended  omeprazole to counter this effect and it appears to be working adequately."


"The first week Paxil was great I felt better no more anxiety and I felt happy and not stressed. But now going on the 3rd week I feel so sleepy I have no interest in doing anything and I'm jittery at the same time. I've never been not interested in doing house cleaning or going outside but now I don't want to do anything but sleep."


"hi"


"Was on this pill for three months. Just recently decided to switch. Start new BC today. Anyways Microgestin Fe made me breakout bad. My forehead and chin that's why I decided to switch. I never really breakout and it bothered me so much. But other than that the pill made my period very light and few to no cramps. It did its job, prevented pregnancy. & Did cause some mood swings. Caught myself crying in time to time. And I feel like the pill made me gain little weight."


"I was precribed tramadol acetominophen for post operative pain and found it very effective, muting it to the point where i could forget about it. I noticed immediately that it also put me in a super good mood, just pleased about everything... Very nice, but I can see how easy it would be to become addicted to it and am backing off after only a few days."


"Worked really well!"


"My son is 11 with ADHD and APD and has tried all the ADHD medicines out there. We had trouble with mood swings, appetite and overall inconsistent results. We started on the Intuniv November 2010. He has stopped at the 2 mg level. It was hard at first but his Doctor encouraged us to do the full 12 weeks on the medication to see full results and it has been worth it. He has gained about 8 pounds and grew almost 3 inches. We give it to him between 4-7 pm before bed and with food. He still gets a little dizzy some days but we also note that if he doesn't drink enough fluids that seems to be more prevalent. Some of the early side effects we saw were sleepiness. A little caffeine in the afternoon helped. THIS is by far the best we have had with our son ever."


"I got liletta in July 2016, with two shots of toradol I still had a horrible experience with the insertion. I have never felt anything so painful. I constantly have mild cramping, pain with sex, and made me break out like crazy. The only nice things I have gotten from this is obviously no pregnancy and I've had one period since July that lasted 3 days. I'm getting this taken out on Thursday due to the painful cramping everyday."


"This medication is a lifesaver."


"I am a physician; I took acitretin as prescribed for plaque psoriasis. After about 3-4 weeks I started to feel very unwell - weak, tired, unable to cope with minor slopes (I have trekked in the Himalayas, Yosemite, Highlands of Scotland, etc). I was not drinking alcohol at all - not for four months before or after. Acitretin was discontinued and the adverse effects reported (yellow card) to the UK regulatory body. The malaise and weakness persisted after stopping the medicine but gradually resolved over a 12 month period. "


"I've took Sprintec for 3 months. It was supposed to help with heavy bleeding and pain. This pill has helped with nothing. The only side effects I had is the month after I stop taking the pill I became very bloated, nauseated, vomiting, and lower abdomen pain as if I was at least 3 months pregnant."


"Hi, I have been diagnosed with Narcoplepy w/cataplexy 1 month ago. I realized something was wrong with my sleep habits several years ago, but attributed it to stress.  I thought I slept well at night only to find out that I never go into restful sleep. The constant chain of dreams is frustrating and can be disturbing. I do take Modafinill with medioka results. I was prescribed Xerym and at first I was excited then became extremely terrified of type of medication. I thank everyone for sharing the positive results as many mostly will mention the negative. It has been very helpful in calming my nerves for my fist dose tonight!"


"I have been taking Pristiq for 1 week. 43y Male. First time treating depression. I could "feel" a difference within hours. Hard to believe maybe, but it was a slight improvement. Every day (EVERY SINGLE DAY) has been better than the one before. It is gradual, but VERY noticeable. My wife says "you are coming back" and my son says "thank you for not freaking out so much" and my co-workers are noticing. I even told a joke in a crowd this week (instead of just feeling like I want to leave and be alone) - I am AMAZED. I had sweats and some minor side effects in the first 4 days, but they are completely gone. I am so thankful for this medication. Thank you to the scientists who developed this. You are changing my life for the better!"


"Had to stop smoking due to cost and a friend gave me these after she failed to stop. The lozenges weren't melting in 20 to 30 minutes in my mouth. More like 3 to 5 hours. I don't know why that is, but I'm not complaining. The medicine wasn't expired or anything. I'm at week 2  2 days and I haven't cheated. Still have slight urges now and then, but the lozenges do help curb that urge. Since my friend only had so much Commit left, I am going tomorrow to buy a new box. I recommend it. Side effects were low for me. Good luck all."


"This Med is nothing short of a miracle. Quick acting and has broken the cycle this making frequency decrease. Wish my insurance wasn't so tight on filling. I've waited years fora generic & they finally covered 4 pills. Woo hoo! Cheaper than an ER visit that doesn't even work as quickly. I would recommend this product to everyone who mentions the word migraine."


"I was taking Percocet for Facial and Scalp Neuralgia - very similar to Trigeminal Neuralgia 2 (TN2 or ATN) but instead of just face, nearly my whole scalp can have nerve pain. I was referred to a pain control specialists who initially put me on Nucynta ER. It was far less effective then the Percocet. Since I have a history of problems with extended release (ER) versions, I begged them to let me try the IR version instead. VIOLA! Real pain relief. I've been able to lower my overall monthly allotment of pills. I feel so blessed to have such good pain control."


Chlorpheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine

"My daughter just has a stuffed up nose with drainage.  She could not stop coughing at night.  I gave her the dose the Dr. prescribed and in about 15 minutes, she had stopped coughing and was sleeping great.  Her nose was still stuffy, but it stopped the drainage down her throat causing the cough.  Worked great!"


"I've been taking Gabapentin for three years to relieve my anxiety symptoms; 1800mg twice daily. Although I started at a much smaller dose in the beginning and did feel groggy at times my body is now completely accustomed to it. This is the only medication I have tried that allows me to function normally on a daily basis without feeling side effects. I highly recommend it to patients with GAD who don't respond to other medications."


"This works without any problems"


"I started to try natural antibiotics like garlic and others but the day after I got ahold of these, the discharge slowly stopped, this is a life saver . Although 2 days into treatment I have had stomach and diarrhea pains, I think it's getting better but at least my clap is gone"


"This was the first form of birth control I took. I was on it for about 5 years. It's a fantastic form of birth control; You only have to remember to take it out every 3 weeks, no mood swings, no weight gain (I actually lost 20 pounds while using the ring from switching to a healthy lifestyle), and my boyfriend doesn't feel it during sex. I recently switched to an oral contraceptive, only because the ring was costing me $60 a month. If cost isn't an issue, I highly recommend trying it."


"Although it got rid of my bronchitis it gave me a certain form of ulcerative colitis!"


"Constipated for 8 days (I blame vegan Chinese food). I
don't eat meat or dairy but everything backs me up since I was a kid.
Picked up a box of store brand sennosides 25mg. Took 2  in the morning and then two in afternoon and evening. Got a bit moving next day but barely anything. I took 2 more and a good bit of tea and it's been slow going (a little every few hours) but it's working.
Smooth move (senna tea) is the worst pain in the world. I'll definitely be switching to these from now on. Still a good bit of sharp pains but much better than the tea.
On a normal person, go grab a bottle of magnesium citrate and drink with two of these. Be prepared for a poo storm but comes faster and easier and less painful than this alone (helped with last push)"


"This was the worst birth control I've ever been on. I got it in July or 2015 at first I loved it. No periods or anything. Then I started getting bad migraines that won't go away. Then my mood for all messed up along with gaining 50lbs have stretch marks everywhere on my arms stomach sides hips passed my knees everywhere. I've had more acne than I've ever had. I'm always tired, I've had insomnia but now it's to the point I go 4 or 5 days on 2 hours at most of sleep. I'm almost 21 and can't fit into anything and afraid to wear shorts or anything cause of all the stretch marks. I get itchy where the rod is and it doesn't stop.  I've been wanting this out for awhile. Can't wait for Monday."


"Very potent. Oxycontin is similiar."


"Currently, I'm prescribed to 100mg of Lamictal, 200mg of Zoloft, 10mg of Adderall IR, and 20mg of Adderall XR.

I originally started on Lamictal at 25mg, and it had little affect on my mood stability. I believe it triggered a mixed state episode until I was prescribed 100mg. About two months in, it's been a lifesaver. My moods feel very stable, I am generally happy, and I am able to take care of myself with little resistance. I am also motivated to regularly run errands. (I do believe it may have made me slighty manic.)

Prior to Lamictal, I was on 25mg of Abilify, and it was ineffective and made me very tired. I had poor hygiene, I was unable to interact with others or be in public places, and I had difficulty keeping up with housework"


"My flu came on hard and fast 4 days ago. Woke up with a tickle in my throat and by noon I had a barking cough and 102 fever. In my opinion, all the tamiflu has done at this point is hasten the rate of dehydration that I'm already experiencing. I can't believe I paid $135 to make myself feel even worse. I still feel like I was hit by a truck, feeling like there is no end in sight for this nasty bug."


"So I was given Lyza because of my migraines. Long story short as soon as i started taking it I've had problems. My migraines seem even worse. It made me really moody & depressed. Not to mention never having a break from my period if I'm lucky I get 5 days off at the most other than that I'm always on my period. I definitely would not recommend!"


"I have been using Mobic to relieve the pain from my Spinal Fusion I had in March/2001. I was previously on Bextra that was discontinued. I find this medication to work just as good as Bextra did."


"Just started taking Trintellix 4 days ago. No nausea, I have had headaches but that's kinda a common thing for me, so not sure its the med. But my whole reason for getting on here was to see what people had to say about any side effects of dreams. Many dreams all in one night, and none of them are good. I stopped taking VYBRID because of insomnia. Now with this medicine So far its crazy dreams. I'm hoping this is only temporary. No changes in my anxiety and depression yet.....so I guess I will wait and see as usual."


"I am 22 years old and I got the skyla about 7 months ago. I'm not going to lie getting it inserted was pretty painful, but I was easily able to drive myself home. The next two weeks I felt pretty bloated and constipated but nothing crazy. I spotted a little at first, but now haven't had a period in about 5 months. That freaks me out so I get pregnancy tests every once in a while just to be safe. I didn't get acne or gain weight. So far I like it a lot better than the pill."


"Get light headeed on them"


"I got my first depo shot the beginning of March. After a week I started bleeding with ceasing. I had to buy depends because the bleeding was so heavy. I've gained 15 pounds since received the shot. I called my doc and got the whole it's a common side effect . I started research and came up with ibuprofen therapy. 3 800 mg a day for 3 days. I also read about birth control pills will stop it as well. I started the ibuprofen Friday and it stopped. Saturday I wiped and it was a little pink. I continued to ibuprofen Saturday all day no bleeding in Sunday it was a oil pinkish. I took a birth control pill Sunday. Monday which is today no bleeding no pink just a lil brown. Took a bc pill this morning no pink no brown so far."


"I have used Soma (carisoprodol) for 6 years and it is definitely great help for my fibromyalgia muscle spasm pain. Also for the muscle spasm pain from degenerative disc disease with bulging disc in my neck which is inoperable at this time. Best of all the muscle relaxers out there and I have tried almost all of them."


"Prescribed Macrobid after misdiagnosis. 2nd day, I was yellow, vomiting, dizzy, weak. Hospitalised at hospital emergencies. Took doctors one week to confirm Macrobid was the reason for my liver failure. Almost lost my life."


"I noticed a change almost immediately in my energy levels, moods, and alertness. I would reccomend it to any of my family and friends."


"32 yr. old male. prolactin levels 55.9. I've been on cabergoline for 4 weeks now. My lab results came back and I am now within the healthy range at 9.9. I went maybe 2 weeks with bad nausea and headaches then they subsided and those effects are less intense and less frequent. I rated a 7 because the medicine certainly works, and quickly at bringing down prolactin, I do not know the results about it shrinking the adenoma or not yet so I am still unsure if it works on that front. So far so good. While the side effects were annoying and disrupted my daily life, it is certainly better than the alternative of surgery to remove the "noma" from my pituitary gland."


"Years ago I had been on the patch form of birth control and had enjoyed the way it shortened my periods and cleared my acne, so after a few years of being on no hormones and dealing with long periods with cramps and some acne again I decided to try Nuvaring. My doctor gave me a trial ring and I was on it for one month, in which I was spotting or bleeding the entire month!!! I saw another review that said this may mean the dosage is too low. But while being on it I remembered the other reasons I had decided to get off of hormones a few years back. Those being; loss of sex drive, emotional roller coaster, weight gain, breast tenderness, no energy, and (ethical reason) it's horrible for the environment. I think I'll go back to no hormones"


"Take pill every 12 hours. Works fine for me. Requested a beta-blocker because of the anti stage-fright effects. No more 'adrenaline dumps' in stressful situations. Helps me tremendously in my work and social interactions."


"I was on this medication for approximately 5 years.  The last couple of years, I had increasing anxiety and depression.  I never increased my initial dose of 2 mg. at night to help with sleep.  My PDoc continued to insist that it was not the Klonopin that was causing my anxiety and depression.  Who knows?  I weaned myself off of the medication SLOWWLY over 4 months.  It really took me that amount of time, even that may have been too fast for me.  When it works, it's a helpful me.  Problem is that many people tend to build a tolerance to the med and will likely need to increase the dose to get the same effect, hence feelings of withdrawal that can come on automatically.  I know everyone has his/her own opinion about this drug."


"My Dr told me basically nothing else has worked so what do u want him to do. The seroquel seemed to at first but I gained weight quickly and people are always asking if I'm expecting because I look maybe 5 months pregnant. I have paranoia problems as well with anxiety. I have suicidal thoughts throughout the day but I don't share that with my Dr because I don't want to get put in a hospital so I keep that to myself. I'm extremely depressed and it doesn't help me sleep. I can't sleep because of the thoughts going crazy in my head. So I have to take ambien.  I'm sick of all these medications. I also take wellbutrin for depression and Xanax for anxiety. the Xanax helps but when I try to pull back from using it my body jerks. I know I need help"


"I love it not having to take a pill everyday! It's amazing so far. I've been on it for 3 weeks now. I haven't tried having sex yet because my doctor told me to wait. I hated take the pill and Yaz and Tri-Sprintec made me so depressed, moody and I had no sex drive. No mood swings yet and I start next week. My sex drive is getting better so wish me luck."


"Been on Copaxone for over 10 years, kept me stable and still able to teach dance (but without spins & turns!!). Would not have continued without the shooter from your doctor, makes it quick and easy. Bought a needle clipper from the drug store so I can clip off needle and throw shot in garbage. Great travelling.......no need for a refridgerator for a couple of weeks. Just heard copaxone is coming out with a shot every other day YIPPEE!!!!..."


"Started Victoza 2 weeks ago, just started 1.8 injection today. First week was the worst as far as getting sick. Things are better now still get a little nauseated now and then. (Mostly if I try to eat something sweet.) My morning sugars are looking closer to normal. They've  have gone from 240 to 130 ( and I was also on Glyburide, Januvia, and insulin shot.)  so it 240 readings were with these 3 medicines) Also lost 7 pounds... pretty cool."


"I've had 2 c-sections and zero natural births, so my doctor prepared me by letting me know that the entrance to my uterus  (cervical oss) was that of a woman that has never had children, so I. Old experience more pain than usual. The insertion was a bit uncomfortable  (not really any pain) but after 3 hours and some motrin, it was completely gone. I really think it depends on the provider inserting the Liletta if you experience pain. It's interesting to me to hear some people had the worst pain in their life while others had just a few hours of cramping. To me it just shows it's not the Liletta, it's the person inserting it."


"This med worked for me years ago but this time after taking it for 2 days I'm worse (50 mg). Bad headache, stomach upset, and anxiety. My pharmacy switched generics & that also could be part of the problem. I am a mental wreck & a shell of my former self. I really just want to stay in bed all day. I don't have a psych just a GP. I also have horrible OCD & every decision I make I feel is wrong. I have refills left on my Celexa & that worked a little better but didn't do the trick. I asked my GP for Wellbutrin at my last visit & for some reason she didn't want to give it to me."


"The ONLY thing that has ever worked for me besides shots of narcotics in the ER..but VERY expensive. But worth it. It has saved my life, I can take 1 and pretty much go on with my day and don't need to lay down in a dark "cave" for hours on end."


"I have been using Victoza since 05/15/12. After 3 months my daily Blood glucose readings range from 140 in the morning to 180 2 hours after eating and average in the 100 range before meals. My last A1C was 6.2 down from 9.2 prior to starting. weight loss was about 18 pounds, 185 down to 167. Also my triglycerides are also normal which they never were before. Other than the initial nausea the first week I have no side effects."


"I tried the Estradiol (Climara) made by Mylan for all of 45 minutes! First of all, the darn thing is so huge, it would serve better as a coaster for my morning coffee! I'm a small woman and could find no feesible place on my body to put the patch. When I finally settled on a place and put it there, it fell off immediately!! And kept falling off! I finally taped it to me and went to bed. The next morning, it had fallen off even with the tape in place! I never experienced this with Minivelle or Vivelle-Dot! Their glue is incredible! Great! The latter 2 cost a bit more, but it's so worth it!"


"I'm not finished with the pills yet but I feel a difference already and I no longer smell my odor. And I have to say the pill tastes horrible and I've had severe diarrhea and headaches. Other than that I think the pill is great."


"I have been using this 3-4 times a day for just over two weeks along with one-20mg proxicam a day for Osteoarthritis, I am male-64yrs. I have not been overly impressed with either thus far. But I have noticed a little less stiffness and some range of motion. But in fairness the inflammation is no doubt very deep in both joints and would take time for the medicine to hit its target area. The Dr told me to give it time which I felt was reasonable.  I find the gel to have a pleasant smell and rubs in nice and dries pretty quick. I am using the Voltaren Gel that says, diclofenac sodium topical gel 1%. Don't quote me but I believe they also make it with 2% diclofenac sodium?? With ins my cost was 42.00 for 5 tubes. Greasing both knees uses a lot"


"I commend everyone on here for wanting to change their lives from the misery of opiate addiction or just plain addiction. I think Subutex and Suboxone are great when you detox off other heavy opiates, or using them for maintenance for a short period of time- no longer than 5-6 months. Because this is a very powerful medicine too, I am saying this because I want everybody to know that this medication will take away all your dope sickness and then when your done with the subs your good with no withdrawl from that. That is certainly not the case. More evidence is coming out when on subs 4 over 1/ 1 and half years It is much harder to get off these drugs than your d.o.c. But they do help you break that vicious addicition cycle. Gd luck 2 u all."


"After travelling to Japan in Sep 2015 and having ,enjoying with tremendous quantity of sea food  sasimi, BBQ Wangyu beef and wonderful cheese cake ,  I woke up next morning with hives literally covered  my both front arms outer parts and partially between shoulder and  neck. Never experienced previously with  allergic reaction in my life ( btw I am 52y/o)
After doing intensive checkup, blood tests, etc., etc.,  and more etc. finally one of the brilliant Doctor gave me the Zyrtec.
I have been taking (one a day) for  2 weeks.
I still don't know (my doctor either) what triggered these ugly hives but eventually all disappeared and gone to hell. I highly recommend. I agree about   side effects especially causing impair my thinking."


"I went on trinesa to regulate my periods and help with acne I would get around my period. My dermatologist prescribed it to me so I never thought it would make my skin worse but it did. I got severe cystic acne all around my checks, jawline and neck. I did it for three months. When my acne got really bad in month two I saw a dermatologist and she said to stay on it for three months and if my breakouts were still bad then to get off it. So now I’ve been off it for about a week and my acne is the worst it has ever been. My skin was completely clear during the summer and now it is so severe I never want to leave my apartment. My dermatologist now thinks I’ll need to go on accutane to fix what trinessa did to my skin. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND"

"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."


"Seasonique was the first birth control medication I tried. Of course I was attracted to the idea of 4 periods a year. During my second month of my second cycle of Seasonique, I had break through bleeding for over three weeks when I wasn't supposed to have any bleeding until the end of the third month. I also had moderate weight gain, intense cravings, moderate issues with acne, and hysterical crying episodes. I switched to a birth control where I get my period once a month and have had none of these issues."


"I've been on and off Effexor since 2004.  Mostly taken for post partum depression.  I also have BPD and used it for only 6mths. I found that Effexor made me numb.  It makes sense in the beginning but I want to learn how to deal with my emotions and after about six months I start getting withdrawal symptoms because it is no longer working, even though I take as perscribed.  That is what I hate the most the withdrawal symptoms are horrible.  I found working out aggressively like at least 1.5hrs a day gives me better results than this.  It took two weeks for the withdrawal symptoms to subside and I was on the lowest dose."


"Butrans has been a lifesaver for me.  Without it I cant move."


"I have suffered with anxiety and severe depression for years. I had tried group therapy as well as one on one sessions with a psychiatrist but it was not much help. I would sit at a meeting or in a class and look normal but I would be going crazy inside with my thoughts racing out of control, and this would last nonstop for days. It also made social situations extremely difficult. My doc put me on Sertraline first at 25m and upped it to 50m after a month. Except for a bit of nausea I had almost no side effects and after about three weeks I started to notice some subtle changes. I've been on it going on four months now and I feel like a new person! I'm much more in control and my days now are calm and much happier. If u can relate plz try it"


"Fasting sugars still high.  Even at an increased dose to 1000 mg/2x day. From day 1, I had diarrhea, which did not abate. Ended up with excruciating painful fissures and had to have surgery. Recovery time was awful. All due to metformin."


"I had 1 stent placed March 2017. put on Brilinta 90 mg twice a day with baby aspirin in the morning. Shortness of breath started a week and 1/2 into cardio rehab. Was told as long as I could handle the shortness of breath it was more important to continue taking the drug. I called cardiologist about an inhaler. This time I am told that is for my primary to deal with. I am tired always, nap almost daily and now am anaemic. The anaemia adds to the shortness of breath and fatigue. I have also developed PICA. All I want to eat are dry rolled oats. I assume for the starch because it sure isn't for the taste. I can't wait for my one year to be over. The upper and lower GI I now have coming up are not what I planned on."


"I took this for about a year and a half. I did only have one period every 3 months, but for me it was 3 months worth of period compressed into one week of hell. One week every 3 months I could barely get to class, and when I did I was constantly going to the bathroom between classes to change pads/tampons. It also made me very emotional for about 2 of the 3 months. Overall, it did do what it promised: not becoming pregnant, and only one period every three months. However, I did not experience lighter periods."


"I have very little memory of my time taking Gabapentin - which is part of the problem with the drug.  For some people it's OK, but for me my memory from that time is like a black hole.  I remember starting it, a few flashes while taking it, but I don't remember tapering off the drug.  It's like I lost 6 months of my life.  I couldn't even tell you if it helped with the pain."


"I've been taking this for a few months now. No bad side effects just a lot of bleeding. I'll have my period for a week then boom another one a week and a half later and this one is way heavier and crappier. I've basically bled for almost a month. It's ruining my sex life."


"I would go up to one month without having bowel movements.  I'm very afraid of using medicine because I take medication for epilepsy and I do not want any interactions causing the anticonvulsants to be less or not effective.  My doctor gave me lactulose and told me to drink water with it.  He said not to be worried about it interfering with my medicine because what the lactulose does is pull water into the stool to make it soft.  I still don't take it with my daily medication.  I wait at least 3 hours after or 4 hours prior to taking my daily medication.  The only thing I do not like is it is very sweet.  Check to see if it is okay to take if you are diabetic.  I assume it has sugar in it because of the sweetness."


"I like this for anxiety."


"I use this medication only as required and find it totally effective. Sometimes the tremors are random but more often they are triggered by mild anxiety or stress."


"Been taking This medication for over 13 years responsibly!!!  It has helped tremendously to control my pain but not without side effects of not being able to sleep well ever and constant sweating 24/7.  Much safer to use than oral meds and no stomach problems."


"I am 55 and have been living with IBS-C for the last 10 yrs.  My doctor started me on Amitiza a week ago.  I am on 24mcg twice daily.  I took my initial dose at the beginning of a meal.  It caused pretty severe nausea, but really cleaned me out with 4 or 5 small BM's ranging from normal to explosive diarrhea.  I have taken each subsequent dose in the middle of a meal, and have had  the most normal bowel pattern than I have had in years.  No more nausea, reflux, cramping or gas.  This med is allowing me to have several small BM's daily, as opposed to using laxatives, which is miserable.  I hope it continues to work!  I'm using samples from my doctor right now.  Not sure if insurance is going to cover it."


"I got this implant shortly after my c-section.. My periods have been so irregular and I spot for months...I got it January 2013 today may 4 2016 I began my period a couple days ago and it's never been this heavy and clotted I don't know if this is normal I have to change my tampon every hour it's a regular size tampon but I feel light headed too idk but this implant has been not worth the mess is rather just have it once a month for a week then deal with this!!!"


"Can tell a huge difference just after one week. Very pleased"


"After fighting with my insurance to get Belsomra, thinking it would work well for me the exact opposite is true. The medication has had no effect on my Sleep Maintenance Insomnia ( waking in the middle of night) all it has actually done is make me feel worse through out the morning and most of the day.
This medication may work for a few but not for the majority. Just look up all the reviews. What a waste of Money."


"I was prescribed Bystolic 2 weeks ago to control HBP.  It was 194/104 at the Dr. Office. I had previously been prescribed Zebeta, which I liked, but it caused my heart rate to go down to 40 bpm.  It also caused some stomach issues, but did lower my BP.  Then I took ramipril, and had a horrible cough, burning in my chest,  and my throat swelled up almost immediately.

I am very sensitive to medicines, and only take 2.5 mgs of this, and it lowers my BP at that dose, but it sitll creeps up during the day.  Also, it completely kills my appetite, which I can live with for now, and also some stomach upset at first, but seems to be getting better.  I hope they don't up my dose.  I like having very few side effects.  Good luck"


"Five days after I began using the Clonidine patch, I started having terrible side effects.  These included extreme dizziness, constipation, diarrhea, and a hard bloated stomach.   I immediately discontinued the patch after using it for 6 days.  These effects are still continuing to a lesser degree almost two months later.  My hair also stopped growing, but started to regrow after a month.
My blood pressure did go down, but it wasn't worth it!

The owner at my local health food store recommended that I try taking Beet Root - 2 pills twice a day.  My blood pressure is now normal and I'm having no side effects!"


"I found that Lexapro really elevated my mood drastically and helped my anxiety, but it also gave me severe insomnia, dreamy thinking, and the inability to pay attention."


"First of all I'm so sadden by so many horrified stories on this blog.  My heart goes out to you all. I am on day 9 with Avelox. My doctor prescribed other medicines for this bacterial infection and bad cough that I have for three months now. The first 2 days were horrible for me on Avelox. I was throwing up all night, heart beating fast, severe itching.  By day 3 I felt great and my side effects now are not as bad, minor itching now.  But I must say this medicine does work for me. It also has cleared up my skin on my face and I had blisters on my hand big one's that also has cleared up. So I'm going to do a refill on this and continue this medicine for another 10 days.  Good Luck to all that had bad experience with this medicine."


"I received Nexium 24 hour for free from Smiley360 to try. I just started taking it yesterday and I can already tell a huge difference. I am very satisfied with this product. The only reason I deducted a star is because after researching, it does appear a lottle pricey. But if it continues to work this well , it will be well worth each penny."


"In the middle of my first dose. After reading other reviews I was positively dreading it. Now it wasn't exactly tasty but I just gulped it down and occasionally bit down a lemon wedge which really helped. It wasn't until the last few swallows that I had to give it a bit more effort because the taste was getting to me. My Dr's office told me I could drink GatorAde instead of plain water after finishing the prep bottle #1. I did not have anything cold because I prefer room temp. It took 35 minutes to start working. It's been 2 hrs and I've gone four times with no cramping, chills, nausea, etc.  Things are already starting to be more clear.  I'm really glad for the low fiber diet and for pushing fluids all day today. Not staying long on the pot either"


"Abilify has given me my life back.  I still suffer from insomnia and Abilify hasn't made it better, but I'm happier, can keep my thoughts on track, have more energy, and want to socialize like I used to.  My depression is gone.  I combine this with Cymbalta and both have been miracle medicines for me."


"I've had to take plan B twice (well, technically the off-brand they have at my pharmacy), both times during or after ovulation. The first time I hardly experienced any side effects other than my period coming two days early, and I didn't get pregnant. The second time was a couple weeks ago after my boyfriend and I had been going at it, and when he pulled out to switch positions I heard him say "...oh" and he pulled the crumpled condom out of me. About 20 hours later I went and got plan b. I was nauseous and cramping the next day and had more cramps for three days leading up to my period but it came on time! The pill works, don't worry yourself."


"I am 27 years old and have been smoking for 11 years. I've always been a chain smoker and smoke between 1.5 and 2 packs a day. My doctor gave me a prescription for Chantix  and since I have two very young kids, I thought I would give it a chance, but didn't really expect to quit.  I have been 10 days smoke-free, and I must say it has almost been easy.  It was strange at first, but it's really no big deal, which has been suprising.  I have no feeling of "crawling out of my skin."  It's been a miracle drug."


"I had a fractured femur from being hit by a car. Morphine was used initially during the acute pain. On the second day Percodan was prescribed, even though I wasn't in great pain. After a few days, had loss of appetite, inability to urinate and severe constipation. Stopped Percodan, Tylenol was adequate to relieve pain."


"I've been on the nexplanon for about 3 years now and now all of the sudden I have gotten my period 3xs in august and twice this month of september is that normal while being on this birth control.Am waiting for my doctor to call me back to see what are my options any ideas or suggestions on what I should do"


"I've been on this medication for about 3 months. I titrated up slowly and really found no difference in my symptoms. Not sure if things would be worse without it. My depression has definitely gotten worse and I'm not sure if it's a direct medication side effect or I'm just totally depressed that nothing I try takes my pain away. I think it's causing my morning anxiety. My doctor just prescribed Neurontin in addition to Savella. I'm glad it's helped so many other people, though."


"I took this when I pulled a muscle in my back and could no longer pick up my infant daughter. I took it in the middle of the day and it helped with the pain. Initially didn't make me sleepy but the next morning it was near impossible to wake up. It was that terrible "hang-over" feeling. It was the worst I've ever felt. I could hardly make myself wake up to get dressed and use the restroom. I laid around until almost 4pm the next day just because of pure lack of energy. Luckily I was only prescribed it for a week or so otherwise I'm sure I would have quit taking it because of the drowsiness after effect."


"On the first day of the tablet I was perfectly fine, but the third day onwards was the worst. I had to take 4 a day for 7 days, and I did so, but the side effects were unbearable, I had back pains and gas in my stomach, but the worst was the nausea, they should definitely consider predcribing these tablets, they are the worst ones I have ever taken."


"Yes. Pseudoephedrine will make it easier to breathe, but if you don't read the fine print, you'll also find out that it makes it harder to pee, makes you jittery, and can make you restless.
So, if you need to take it for a day or two - you should. But not for any longer."


"Helped my dad with this patch.  He was less agitated, better behaved and was able to do more for himself."


"I tried the 75 mcg no relief and dr refused to give break thru pain meds told me to use OTC meds alternate Tylenol and Advil every 2 hrs for the 1st month, but she finally gave me ten pain pills for 1st month. So the end month I go to 150mcg and get copay help card- well after three days of runaround they tell me the card only works for 1st month. If the pharmacy puts it in right so my script had a 79.99$ copay which I can not afford. Tried to ask why they advertise help with copay yet they don't really offer help. So instead of paying $30. For second month I had to pay full copay so just make sure you can afford it before you start it. Oh and no the film don't actually help as the 150s actually bunch and not melt so"


"I feel the Abilify working on my depression. I am singing and happier then I have been in a while. I was taking Invega before and that did not help me at all. I am diagnosed with Bipolar 1. This medicine has lessened my mania but has not vanished it completely. I do not see any side effects with this medicine!"


"I've had migraines now for 56 years.  I've been on just about everything out there. I was prescribed Stadol NS back in the early '90's. In the mid '90's, I was on it daily, after my migraines went to a severe chronic daily status. I found Stadol NS to be a life saver.  I have been using it every day since. Of course, some days I use almost none, and some days I use my maximum dose.  I have never had any adverse reaction to it. During a time when my pharmacy wasn't able to get this medication for several months, I had no problem or withdrawl symptoms.  I just had to use less effective medications. I know that everyone is different, but this medicine has been a great success for me."


"I'm on day 7 of the medication and down 8 pounds.  No desire to snack and I'm full very quickly.  I'm not experiencing increased energy but I'm sleeping less. I started at 244.4 and an down to 236.4....
Fingers crossed this weight loss continues!"


"Current Pain Meds: Fentanyl 50mcg x 72 hrs & Percocet 10/325 x 4hrs PRN.
Condition: DDD L4-L5 S1 & Muscle Damage of Lft. Shoulder.
Past Overcounter Meds: Polyethylene Glycol, Lactulose, & Amitiza.
Relistor Experience: Started 2 days ago and was able to have bowel motion within 30 min with mild cramping & no other side effects.

Conclusion: Excellent relief from OIC...5 star!!"


"I'll have had Miranda for 3 years coming this March, 2016. For the first year my periods were irregular and I would cramp up even during times when I wasn't on my period. This was disconcerting to me but I battled through. At this juncture in my life I'm struggling with adult acne. I'm concerned that the hormones are no longer affecting me as they did for 3 years and perhaps Mirena is the cause for this extreme case of acne. I do love this type of birth control and I believe it's very freeing to not worry about pregnancy while using an IUD. There are many side affects and each affect women differently"


"The first couple of months  was good, but  after that I have increased acne and heavy spotting."


"This medication coupled with a benzodiazepine is wonderful. It makes your body feel better and is non addicting."


"Fixed one problem, made another worse! My 14 years old child, has had seasonal depression and social anxiety. Her doctor said it would help with the anxiety too but it has left her always shaking uncontrollably and feeling more jittery and anxious than ever! It has helped the depression, she can go to school with a bit more ease and it'll keep her from throwing herself out a window. But her general ability to function is about the same because now she is too anxious instead of too sad."


"Had all the other treatments, Neoral, Light, creams etc. Neoral worked but I had been taking it too long so had to come off it. Legs completely covered, arms too, painful, itchy, embarrassing. Dr suggested biologics (Humira) started 2 years ago, cleared it straight away. One thing I'm not sure of is the side effects. I've had some strange things happen to me that have gone away when I missed a dose of Humira - anyome else had this ?"


"Although my doctor prescribed it mainly for Bipolar Depression, he will temporarily increase the dose in response to emerging manic symptoms especially racing thoughts, agitation, extreme irritability and dilusions.

Positive - Significantly (80-90%) calms my thoughts. Helps me fall and stay asleep.  Keeps my depression in check. I am now compliant with all of my medications and trust my doctor.

Negative - higher doses blunt my affect. I must take my dosage at bedtime because of tremendous sedation which is when the drug saturation is highest in my blood and brain. If I must get up during the night, for example bathroom, I'm disoriented and dizzy. I could never take it during the day. Weight gain from "munchies." Sex-related problems"


"I am a college student who had very frequent night terrors due to stress and my doctor prescribed me lorazepam as needed when I have terrible stress and need to sleep without a night terror. Recently the stress was too much and I ended up having stress induced convulsions and couldn't stop twitching during the day. I started taking 2mg a day and then down to 1 and it keeps me calm and my shakes barely happen each day. It has helped me greatly and I can feel normal and sleep well again."


"Diflucan works freaking miracles; I'm never using OTC creams again. Last month (after a round of antibiotics) I developed a mild yeast infection and used Monistat One Day to clear it up. Unfortunately, I should've listened to other reviewers about Monistat because, this month before my period, the infection came back with vengeance! I called up my doctor and got a prescription for the genetic 200mg Diflucan. This drug is a heaven send! I took it with food at 5pm, and by 7pm, I was already feeling better. The discharge was firming up and exiting my body, the itching was lessening, and the discomfort of my labia was improving. No discomfort, burning, or messy creams with this medication. Why deal with Monistat when Diflucan is an option?"


"Been on this for a year and some change. Overall I love it, my boyfriend be I don't have to worry about any unwanted pregnancies and it helped regulate my BPD since I no longer have a period or should say didn't from before I put this in (depo shot previously). When on depo I had 1 period in 2 years and it was rough. Yesterday 7/31 I got one on nexplanon it'll be bad I can tell but still beyond worth it. 1 period every 2 years? Awesome. Not worrying for 3 years? Amazing.

Just make sure you are aware of side effects. What works for me might not for you."


"After being diagnosed with severe, chronic and acute depression, anxiety and seasonal affective disorder in February 2001, my therapist referred me to a psychiatrist for medicine management. Was given starter pack September 2011. I've been on 40mg for 1 and 1/2 years, during my weekly therapy sessions, my therapist says I give 90% eye contact, whereas with previous medicines I gave eye contact infrequently. I also take Effexor 225mg, Zoloft 200mg and 9mg Ativan [2mg A.M.; 4mg 12:00pm; 3mg evenings], Ambien 10mg."


"I have had fibromyalgia for 14 yrs. My second Dr. put me on Tramadol 50 mg every six hrs or so, and Ultram 300 mg slow release at night. I also take Celexa for depression. This combination gave me my life back. I would not have survived without these med's the pain was too intense."


"Ok this is where i am after two weeks. I'm turning 54 one of these days, Managing Director of my company and self diagnosed with ADHD about a month ago. I matched ALL the criteria. Went to see a doctor and he confirmed my suspicions. I relayed my struggles with studies at University and he referred to me attaining two degrees a 'miracle, I cannot begin to explain how difficult studying was not to mention having to sit through hours of lectures. There was no - and I stress - NO filter between my brain.mind and my mouth. Anger,profanity and impulse behavior was only curbed by my life-long ability to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime. Imagine an alien being in charge for 53 years. It's all gone. Why did no one help me with this before?"


"This medication has changed my life, literally. As a hairdresser, it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to do more than one client at a time before having to rush off to the bathroom because the urge to go hit me so badly. The urge to go was almost always accompanied by pain, which made it very difficult to hold my urine on the way to the bathroom. During an 8 hr shift, I was going around 7 times everyday, and countless other times at home. At night I would typically go between 3-5 times, never fully getting any rest. Since starting this pill about 2 months ago, I go maybe once or twice in an 8 hr shift. When I go, I'm not in a tight. When I feel the urge to go, I can suppress it until I have the opportunity to go."


"Wellbutrin worked very effectively in treating my depression. It lifted me out of a major depression I had been in for years. However, I am facing an issue because while Wellbutrin is great for treating my depression, the side effects are terrible. I am having excessive sweating all the time and extreme dry mouth. The dry mouth is causing bad breath and cavities. I am doing everything I can to combat the dry mouth and sweating with no avail. I was told the side effects will diminish over time but it has been over a year and the side effects aren't any better.

Does anyone know of effective ways to combat the side effects?"


"Great product! It works well for me, especially when I take it on an empty or partially empty stomach. I'm 47 and my wife tells me that my erections are harder and longer."


"I started taking this medicine to help with carpal tunnel issues I was having. The doctor had me taking 15-30 mg a day, which I see according to this site, is more than I'm supposed to have. It helped the carpel tunnel, and has done wonders for my knee pain. It only helps mildly with my hand pain (arthritis). As far as side effects are that it has affected my bowel motions and I don't always have much warning before I need to take one."


"I began taking this amlopidine for high blood pressure about a year ago. It worked fine for several months til I started having swelling and pain in my feet and legs. I was having some attacks of gout and thought that was it that causing the problem but the pain and swelling went on long after the gout. I got to where I could hardly walk. My wife noticed that swelling was a side effect. I quit the medicine immediately, and noticed a huge difference within a week. I have been off the medicine for 3-4 mths, but still have some problems with swelling and pain although not near as severe. I have also have developed knots in my calves while on this medicine that has not went away since stopping the medicine. I fear I have irreversible damage."


"I have been using the Paragard IUD for one year now. I have 2 children and don't want anymore. I tried both Mirena and Nexplanon and both caused me to have 21+ days of bleeding at a time so I had to go with the only long term option of hormone free bc I could get. Insertion was not painful, I was prescribed Misoprostol and a sonogram technician was present. The first 3-4 periods were heavy and painful but after that they became more normal. Overall I'm happy with my decision to use this bc and really I'm hoping this will continue to work out for as long as possible."


"I used to take Anacin for my sinus and muscle pain, until I found out it contained caffeine.

Nothing else works as good .I have had severe sinusitis since I was 8 yrs old .I am now 62 and it is still working for me. I take the 50 mg. capsule and it works for at least a day or more."


"I tried many different medicines for IBS and then I found Zelnorm and it worked till they took it off the market and then I thought there was nothing I could do but put up with the pain but then I heard about this medicine from a friend and I am so glad I did it is very inexpensive and works great. The pain is completely gone."


"Synthroid gave me horrible migraines, two to three a week.  Nothing seemed to alleviate them except getting off of the medication"


"I recommend staying as far away from this pill as possible. Only 3 weeks in and cystic acne everywhere on chin and forehead   other breakouts. Keep in mind I have never suffered from acne or breakouts before!!! Also extremely bloated, always fatigued, and made me very nauseous. Please avoid this birth control!! Getting back on the one I was on for 5 1/2 years (tri-previfem). Don't know why I even switched...terrible decision. Never been so self conscious in my entire life. After all these negative  reviews and my personal experience, I'm quitting this pill today."


"Works wonders for my anxiety and panic attacks, and even depression. But it puts me in a manic / euphoric / agitated condition. Sometimes unbearable. So I have to take Klonopin 2-4mg a day alongside olanzapine 5mg when things get out of control. Side effects for me: hunger, excessive yawning, euphoria/mania, weight gain, lower sex drive, very vivid dreams, they mostly go away within 10-14 days. The withdrawals are lengthy and hard so be careful, go slow. Works for me, meds turned my life around once again."


"This changed my entire world..
I'm 21
Female
I've been on Lexapro for 3 months now. My experience, there was a very quick change in my life. I was not aware I had major depression, that was the real kicker. I do not remember a time I felt this alive/"normal"/happy/connected."


"I have been using the product for 2 1/2 months I weighed 267 and now I weigh 242 losing a total of 25 lbs so far. This product helped to lower my blood pressure and give me a boost. Some side affects were insomnia the first week but that went away and dry mouth. My doctor advised me reduce my calorie intake to 1200 ( don't stay consistently below or your hair will fall out) and exercise 5 days a week ... I hope to lose at least  67lbs total"


"After years of trying numerous medications (none ever working the way Midrin did) and wanting something I could function on, but would get rid of/or at least lessen my pain I tried Amerge for the first time last night. I took it around 6:00pm with food, and within 20 minutes I was crashed out on the sofa. I woke up almost 2 hours later with stomach cramps, a very fast heartbeat, an extreme confusion. My husband was talking to me, but I could neither understand him nor could I put words together. I tried to stand up to say goodnight to my daughter, and I walked directly into our coffee table and almost fell over. It took a good hour before I felt like myself. However, my headache was gone! I don't know if the side effects are worth it."


"I was dx with sero positive RA nearly 35 years ago and have been on just about every NSAID, dmard, infusion and combinations of these. Simponi Aria along with lefunimide is my current cocktail. While it seems to be keeping my joint pain under control, my fatigue is off the charts and I have lots of body aches, frequent headaches and gastro problems. My bp and glucose levels are also elevated, though I'm not sure if this is due to this medication, or not."


"Caused headache, irritability, constipation, and blurred vision."


"I would never recommend this medicine. I had a bad reaction from it and I will never take it again and neither should you."


"Symptoms started Sunday eve. Felt lousy Monday. Achey. Sweaty. Feverish. Went to doc Tuesday bc I was sure of having strep (strange rash) but was diagnosed with flu. Started tamiflu at noon Tuesday. Wednesday 7pm, I sound like hell, coughing hurts, but I can actually walk about. Hoping for a night without having to change my sweaty night clothes. I was leery but feel lucky to have been diagnosed in time. Last time I had the flu a few years back, I was flat out for a week. Little stomach upset (diarrhea), but very mild and worth it"


"I have been on a fairly high dose of this medication for over 6 years now. I can not tell you enough that it is an extremly horrible idea for long term use 2 times daily or more or even less any long term use of this drug to me is almost a death sentence for that person it is probably the most difficult thing to stay off of if used for more then a month or 2 straight. Im trying to get off them now myself but I am so very deep in a hole its almost hard to see the end. Once you stop say goodbye to sleep for a while and feeling like complete psychosis for the next few weeks or months till your brain comes back from the hole you dug for it. If I could go back and never take a benzo I would in a heart beat ssris and ssnris never worked for me."


"I've only been on it for one month so my opinion and perspective might be a little skewed. However, I've experienced nothing but wonderful things. I have acneprone skin and I have not had any major breakouts. I have a curbed appetite now. I do sweat more but only when I'm being active. My period is so light, which is a definite plus! I highly recommend at least trying. Everyone's body is different, but it works for me."


"This medicine has been so helpful for me. I am 44 years old and have struggled with my weight my whole life but was able to maintain my weight until I had my fourth child via cesarean section.   I started on phentermine on 07/15/2014 weighing in at 250 pounds and as of today, 07/25/2014, I have lost 8.2 pounds.  I am also counting calories doing 1200 per day."


"I have always struggled with worry, stress, and anxiety and recently have gone through some really difficult situation. My doctor diagnosed me with panic attacks and prescribed me a low dose of Xanax to take when needed. I take half a pill because I am afraid of developing a habit and hate relying on medications. This really does work and helps me a lot. I have only needed it a few times."


"Since getting this about 3 weeks ago, I have been vomiting and having diarrhea nonstop. It's the end of the semester so I have been trying to go to work and class extremely fatigued and running out of class or work to vomit before returning. I am also nauseous a lot. In addition to this I think I have the first yeast infection I've gotten in my life, and I'm much more irritable than usual. I already have bipolar II and borderline personality disorder, along with generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD, and it's definitely made my mood swings worse (though it is hard to tell because they're already severe, as you can well imagine). I have lost about 10 pounds because of the constant vomiting and haven't had my period yet since I've been on it."


"Flonase has not been effective at reducing my nasal congestion.  At 1/8 the cost, Oxymetazoline hydrochloride has been a great deal more effective for me."


"Taking Effexor in the beginning was hard to get used to but after 6 months I felt great. Down side is I have headaches and sweat a lot. If I miss more than 4 days then I have withdrawal symptoms.  I'm taking 150 mg a day and despite the side effects I wouldn't change a thing. Oh yeah I have also lost weight while taking Effexor."
