"When i first started using axiron, it burned for a few minutes. I was afriad this would be the rest of my life. Nope! Two weeks later the burning stopped. I have tried testim, androgel and hated the messy applications, and feared spreading it on my nieces. This goes under my arm and I love it! It is worth the extra 30 dollars from my insurance. I do recommend!"


"1984-1988 had migraine headaches that seemed to part my head with symptoms being only on one side of my head, such as running nose, watering eye, one blood shot eye and one temple throbbing.  Lasted for many hours and would re-appear in minutes or hours.  After taking Parafon Forte three time, I haven't had a headache since."


"I have severe endometriosis, and this has been the best pain relief I've gotten. I have taken a sleu of pain medicines, and this has the least side effects (for me) and the most pain killing power, without making me feel too loopy.  Hands down the best pain medicine for me."


"Have suffered from chronic IBS with constipation for 35 years. .. nothing has ever helped.  I would go up to two weeks with no bowel movements... spending hours on the toilet for relief.  Which usually involved severe cramping that caused vomiting and passing out.  I started linzess almost a year ago.  It has changed my life.  I started with taking it every other day AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP! Then you can function normally through the day.  If you take it any other time it can cause diarrhea. If you want a good cleansing then take it with food in the am. My body has adjusted now and I need to take it everyday day.  What I've noticed lately is that it's not as effective anymore. I'm worried after long term use it will no longer be effective"


"I am a healthy type one diabetic who in November of 2011 completed my first marathon.  That changed in May 2011 when I was diagnosed with gastroparesis. I've been hospitalized 32 times since then and suffer chronic constipation that, like every one else here, couldn't fix it. It is the most miserable feeling in the world. Clothes don't fit, painful itchy hemorrhoids that cause embarrassing bleeding through my clothes, and hours in the bathroom. I've been on the medicine for two weeks and it's an absolute miracle! I started at 290mcg and realized I could handle 145mcg. The lower dose allows me to have a regular schedule and no accidents. If I feel like I'm backing up at all I go to 290 for a day or two.  "


"I must have tried at least a dozen different bipolar meds. This is by far the best.  Has the least side effects and I am much more clear-headed than others.  Love it."


"I was a little nervous about taking this after reading some horror stories online. The first day I had some burning in my stomach and nausea but then I started taking a probiotic an hour before the am and pm antibiotics and that helped amazingly well. The only side effect I suffered for the 2 weeks was a bad taste in my mouth(a little like metal). The prevpac worked for me. No more stomach issues. I just recommend taking a probiotic. It really helped!"


"My bipolar disorder triggered severe insomnia and so my doctor gave me Ambien. It worked wonders. First few nights taking it I saw double/blurry and then just knocked out, got AMAZING rest, woke up refreshed. Overtime I had some sleep walking/talking/eating episodes. One time I woke up and ate a batch of cookies and another time I made some midnight hot dogs. I would wake up feeling unusually bloated, haha, that's why. One time I took the Ambien and decided to take a quick 5 minute hot shower afterwards, well, my husband told me he caught me talking to the shampoo bottles. So weird! Listen to the directions, take once you are lying in bed, unlike me. You wont remember a thing. Once I swallow the pill, I don't remember anything after that."


"I initially hated this medication because it made me bloated and constipated due to all the iron.  I'm very health conscious so it was a bit unnerving to suddenly gain 5 pounds (I generally stay the same weight).  But once I started my fourth pill pack, it seems like a lot of the side effects subsided.  I also haven't had any periods, which I'm totally fine with.  Other positive side effects: Am not pregnant. My hair is thicker (I had a very stressful year that made my hair fall out). Skin is better, though I've never really had acne.  My advice if taking this pill is to drink plenty of water, watch your salt intake, and be patient."


"I got violently ill with Influenza A on Monday night.  Scary high temperature.  Went to the Urgent care Tuesday morning with a more moderate 101.4 temp.  Didn't feel better until Wednesday noon (3 doses) but today on Thursday I feel like I never had the flu.  Even my cough is better.  Side effects were kind of nasty though as I had extreme diarrhea that was as bad as what you get for colonoscopy prep.  So on Tuesday and Wednesday morning I would have told you it wasn't worth it.  But by early Wednesday afternoon I was glad I did it."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Easy put this product in perspective if you've had lots of colonoscopies. Get every 1-2 yrs since young adult. I have issues w the 1s that contain vast amounts of liquid; not yummy either & I have more nausea bc too much liquid too fast. This product, by far the best I used, also prefer to OTC method. Smell is lemon, like lemon cleaning products. Don't sit smelling before, just drink it. It tastes of salty lemon Gatorade, so don't use lemon Gatorade as your extra liquid. W this stuff I had less cramps, 1 of the easiest to take, & cleaned me out great. Side note makes process easier & cleaner, stop eating seeded food (&nuts) another 24 hrs before diet starts, anything w seeds including berries & certain veggies (carbs & protein are good)."


"I am on 10 mg per day. During the first couple of weeks I experienced some feelings of nausea, and that subsided. I have to say that Vortioxetine has been excellent for me, as it generates a feeling of peace and wellbeing that I have not experienced for some time. The other very positive aspect of this medication is that I have been able to shed quite a number of kilograms, which is something that I was unable to do on other AD medication. The positive of that is that feel good, lose weight, feel better, lose more weight, higher daily motivation. I am totally satisfied with this medication & would strongly recommend it to anyone contemplating a change of AD medication"


"I have always had constipation and I was told to take Dulcolax if nothing else seemed to work. Normally, I only take one pill, but this time I took 2 because I hadn't gone in a week and needed the relief ASAP. BIG MISTAKE! I always get indigestion-type feelings, so those started up within about an hour. In a few hours, I passed a couple of soft bowel movements. I was praying that I could just go to sleep because my stomach was so uneasy. I thought I could wake up feeling better. It made me feel bad all over, nausea, cold sweats. Then I woke up at about 4:30 am with the urgency to go. During my bowel movements, I was having severe stomach cramps with diarrhea. In the future, I will only be taking one pill!"


"I have had depression for a long time, sometimes more serious, sometimes less serious. In the past 7 years, I think I experience a "re-entry shock" going back to the teaching profession in HK.

I need to take it once per day. I did not experience any side effect like sleepiness, dizziness. I can perform my normally heavy duties in my workplace. At first my doctor ask me to take it after evening, but since it will not affect my work and need not be taken after meals, I prefer to take it right after I get up, and I can establish a routine for it easily.

Soon after I have taken Pristig, all my negative thoughts and feelings disappear like miracle and many people around me commented that I am happier than before."


"I took Macrobid for two days.  By day three I was nauseous, dizzy and had diarrhea.  I felt weak and dizzy and almost passes out.  My Doctor told me to stop the medication.  It turned out that my culture was normal and I didn't need antibiotics!  I am now without the meds and I feel like I have a virus!"


"I'm on day 6, @20 mg.  I've been waiting for this feeling for a long time.  I have energy, no brain fog, I don't feel like isolating myself, most of all I feel happy.  I'm having weird dreams but I can take that.  I'm not sitting on my assets for days without showering bc it was so laboring just to think much less move.  I don't ache in the way I have been for nearly 8 years.  I also feel like there's an open communication between my brain & body now...before  I had great ideas of things to do but my body wasn't receiving the message.  I can think and remember things now. I got to a point where my head was so tired I had to keep my eyes closed and it's gone now.  This is going to change my life...that's amazing.  I can't wait!"


"I have been on this one for 10 to 12 year this one work for me ."


"I just had my implant changed a week ago after 3 years and for me it's been great. I used to be on the pill but it made me ill. For me the first 3 months my periods were irregular but afterwards I got one every month for about 5 days, me and my boyfriend have unprotected sex and no babies so far, I get moodswings but what girl doesn't, and I haven't gained weight at all either its the perfect contraception for me plus reduction of breakouts :)"


"I've been dealing with eczema my entire life (27 year). I've always gotten made fun of horribly for it growing up. I've tried so many different products with none of them working, leaving my skin always flared up. Eucrisa has been the only thing to ever work on my skin. I see a difference in 2 days and after only 2 weeks of using it I've noticed a huge difference in the overall feel and look of my skin! The only downside to me, which I can deal with easily, is that it feels for slimy after application for a few hours. I've been using it at night due to this. Hope this helps others!!"


"This medicine did wonders for me.."


"I noticed no change.  No side effects, no benefits."


"At first it seemed to make the migraines not so unbearable. The weight loss was nice too! It did make me drowsy at first. I also couldn't think straight and find the right words. I saw light trails esp at night. But I struggled through for a few years thinking I would get over the side effects. Ultimately I didn't think the benefits were worth the side effects. Everyone is different."


"Worked really well after about 2 months my acne was a lot clearer. I hardly get acne any more. Hardly any irritation when I used the .01% and I've pretty bad reaction to other acne creams I've tried before."


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD in 1st grade. He's now in 6th. We've tried so many meds...Concerta, Intuniv, Focalic, Metasomethingoranother, and more. The stimulants caused massive mood swings. And the other stuff just didn't work well either. He's now on Kapvay, the generic form of it, and so far, so good. He takes .1 mg in the morning and we just increased evening to .2mg. The only trouble we've had is sleep. He falls asleep but wakes up by 4am. And then, doesn't fall back to sleep until 6 but has to be awake by 7:30. So, right now, he's texting me to bring him coffee. Not sure what to do about the lack of sleep but I'm really happy with how he's responding otherwise. The mood swings have lessened. Now they just seem tween-typical."


"I love this pill. I used to be on the nuva ring but swiched because it caused a cyst on my ovary. And caused my vigina to be tender during sex and would slip out. I'm so happy I switched the microgestin. I've been on it for 1 year now.  My skin is clear , my sex drive is the same. And it doesn't hurt to have sex . And I don't have a period anymore. But when I do its very light, to where I only need panty liners.  And only 2 days long"


"I have had this since I was 19 and now am 32. The doctors I have had in the past always controlled my symptoms with narcotic pain medicines. This medicine worked for me at 600mg but they just increased the dose because it seemed like the pain was back in full force and worse but it is an amazing medicine.  Just need to find the right dose. The only thing that I do not like is it makes my hormones race but my husband loves it."


"This is my first week of this medication and my blood sugar levels have been running very high.   I am wonder if this is normal at first or if I should be concerned."


"I had Mirena for 2 years and suffered from

Continuous BV.  I have been on Flagyl many many times. I had to have my marina taken out three months ago and I didn't have anymore a BV until this past week.  I am taking a seven day does two times a day. This is the first time that it has caused a metallic taste in my mouth and horrible time trying to sleep. I can't seem to fall asleep and when I do I am restless and up every 10 to 15 minutes. On the plus side I know when I i'm done with this prescription I will be completely treated so it is worth it."


"Works well in the long term, not for immediate pain relief."


"I had switched to this pill after having adverse reactions to Paragard (bled EXTREMELY heavily for all but 5 days a month, anemia, nausea, horrible cramps, etc) and Nuvaring (persistent yeast infections). I started on the tri-cyclen, then switched to just cyclen in order to skip painful periods.

I gained 50-60 lbs in the year and a half that I was on this medication, had trouble with my contacts, pms-like mood swings, continued to have my periods, etc. Before I changed medication, I was feeling a sensation I could only describe as feeling like I had died and was still acting alive. I did not attribute any of these side effects until after I switched bc's and immediately saw improvement. This was the wrong pill for me, but not prego."


"I was diagnosed with MS in 07/2009 and started this medication in 11/2009.  I was titrated up to 22 mg and then titrated up to the 44mg within 4 months of starting medicines. I got an emergency phone call from the Neuro. office after routine blood work came back telling me to immediately move back down to 22mg dose.  I had elevated liver enzymes for an entire year on this medication.  Finally the levels dropped to normal range.  Four months after the liver enzymes normalized I stopped having the flu like symptoms (Fever, headache, general unwell feeling). I take a Naproxen about an hour before each shot.  I still get site reactions and some bruising at injection site (and burning when medicine is going in). I use the RebiSmart Injector."


"After taking Lialda for 2 years my hair is very thin. It has not controlled me from going to the bathroom alot. I started noticing besides my hair getting thin, having severe headaches. had to have a blood transfusion and my urine started getting darker and darker. The the straw that broke the camel's back was my tongue and lips swelled and I had hives all over they were so severe that I didn't get any sleep they caused me to have blisters. After 3 trips to the ER they finally found something to help the hives. I haven't eaten a full meal in over a year do to the fact that my mouth and lips were so swore and painful to eat. When all the side affects started piling up I just quit taking it and call my gasteronolist and will see him in 2 weeks"


"My wife has been on everything for bipolar. the Dr. added Vraylar to Bupropion, clonazepam and lithium.  At first We thought it was amazing. She went from curled up in bed to going places and doing things. Her manic episodes had been limited to rage, and after starting Vraylar, they seemed to become euphoric just prior to turning radically disphoric. The get up and go turned to akathesia. It tapered off to simply loose it's efficacy. going up to 3 mg just brought the same roller coaster. My wife is treatment resistant to many meds. If you choose to try this medication, please look out for these side effects, and keep your optimism in check."


"This slow release medication works 100% better than taking guanfacine three times a day.  We still need find a way to tweak my son’s evenings, but it’s tolerable."


"I am a skeptic on taking new medicine, but this medicine worked great for my strep throat and I had it very bad."


"I had nexplanon inserted of February 2017. Prior to that for about 2 weeks I was so depressed I didn't want to get out of bed, I already have been clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety and nexplanon made it worse. A week from insertion I bled nonstop, the longest time not bleeding was about 5 days and my longest period was about 47 days of heavy crampy bleeding. I felt insane and not like myself at all, I would get mad at my partner for the littlest things and I was an  extremely angry person which is totally unlike me. After bleeding so heavy that I became anemic, I decided to have it taken out and since then I have felt GREAT I decided to switch to the IUD (kyleena) got it inserted a couple weeks ago I am loving it!"


"Out of all three shots the third shot hurt the most.  The first shot felt like a normal shot while the second stinged just a little, but the third shot my arm hurt for about 3 to 4 days.  Overall I think that its worth it because it is for the best."


"I was a 2 pack a day smoker until I started using the Nicotrol Inhaler. This almost seems like you are smoking but you aren't. Even taste and feels like it.  "


"Female - HIV pos since 2014 - current viral load : undetectable
I've been on Genvoya for about 2 months, and I love it. Little to no side effects. The first week I've had mild headaches, none now that I've been on it.
Suspecting mild weight gain, however I could be wrong. I've only gained 5 extra lbs : may or may not be the medicine.
Love genvoya *"


"This medication brought me out of a long manic episode very quickly (which was a huge relief) but I couldn't bare the tiredness and lack of tolerance I had because I was so tired. I felt quite grumpy most days. The sugar cravings were wild and I lost all restraint with cakes and sweets. I guess I'm just one of the very few people it doesn't agree with."


"I am 33 yrs. old and have been taking Tegretol XR since I was 18 yrs old for grand mal seizures.  It has been great.....I have had two healthy children and maintained my medication during my pregnancies and had no problems.  Have been seizure free for 10 years!"


"The reason why I gave a 4 was because I had a lot of stomach pain, back pain, sore throat, headache. "


"I have been a chronic migraine sufferer since a child. I have tried everything and still maintain my daily medication. However, my specialist decided to refer me to another Neurologist who performed Botox and I thought why not! I was scared and it was painful yes but the results for me are amazing no more stints in hospital no daily headaches but, yes still migraines however they no longer last 3-4 days and that is awesome. I can handle and maintain a migraine that lasts 24 hours and only occurs twice a week yay. That's a bonus. Going back tonight for my second round hoping for a better outcome this time around :) .."


"I titrated up to 100 mg over a two month period. I have had chronic depression since my teens, with one episode of hypomania and rapid cycling. I have taken Depakote, which had horrible neurological side effects, and Tegretol, which stabilized me but did nothing for depression. The Lamictal has completely done away with depression. My only side-effect is anorexia. I have to force myself to eat and I get full right away. I needed to lose weight so this isn't a bad thing."


"I have been a pack a day smoker for a while now, and I genuinely loved smoking and the feeling it gave me, I wasn't motivated to quit, and was only doing it to satisfy family. After the first week I had quit. The smell of cigarette made me nauseous and the thought of putting one in my mouth made me physically gag. The first two weeks, I felt no side effects and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about, it wasn't until the 3 week I started to get extreme nausea and pain, but that only lasted 5-10 minutes half an hour after I took the tablet. Whats 20 minutes out of your day feeling pain, when you could possibly die at 50 from cancer? Nothing. it is worth it, and everyone owes it to themselves to try."


"I began taking these tablets a week ago.  My face and neck has  has been flushing red. I have been feeling uncomfortable heat in my feet, my skin has been extraordinarily dry and I have been feeling sluggish and sick.  I was prescribed Amlodopin because the Losartan I was taking gave me a chronic cough."


"This medication has been huge for me, I don't run to the restroom as often, my pain is way better, the only side effects I have are dry mouth, loss of appetite and blurry vision,"


"This is the third medicine my daughter has been on this year. Although the other two worked for her ADHD the side effects where not very great. Vyvanse has worked all the way around for her. I am very pleased to have finally found something that has worked for her."


"Clears up all nasal congestion within 3 minutes.  Lasts for about 6 hours (though I have the "12 hour" version).  However, I know it can cause rebound congestion if I use it too long.  I only let myself use it for one day when I have a cold, though I would love to use it for three or four days."


"I was given 25mg of this for my blood pressure plus 40 mg of lisinopril. I have never had acne in my life on my face. It was around the same time that I started this meds. The acne started as little white bumps around the nose and under the eyes, now it seems to be getting worse with more of the deeper welts (1-2 bumps) with drying skin. I'm 45 and this seems pretty unusual. The Dr doesn't think it's the meds. I'm drinking water with every meal but binge on beer about once a week while watching sports. Anyone else have acne or bumps breakout on face or other place from Hhydrochlorothiazide?"


"I love my Butrans patch!!! And it has relieved more than half of my pain, and I know this because I only have to take less than half of my pain killers now that I am on the patch! I change my patch every Saturday, but if I miss 24 hours my pain starts to reside again. If you are not a heavy drinker I would advise trying this patch!!!"


"I've been on this for 10'yrs now, obviously it works but at 100 mg dose, too much! I've cut back to 50 mg and I'm fine. On 100 mg I had a lot of weight gain, like 30 lbs. I've lost a lot of weight now on 50 mg. I probably should go off of it but doc says if it works can stay on it. I worry no long term studies on this drug, but so far seems okay. My brother told me it can cause brain cells to die of w/long term use, he read it in L.E.F. magazine. Don't know if true, but helps my depression & anxiety so much that its worth staying on. Be happy and healthy, find what works for you. Good luck! "


"Worked well in terms of stopping my cough, but even at the lowest dose (5ml) I got extreme nausea and vomiting and had to switch to a different hydrocodone-based syrup."


"I have a wart under my balls so I applied to that one first to see how my body reacted to it. So I'm 2 days in with that one and 1 day in for the anal warts. I have about 4 or 5.

So far the pain is not unbearable. I do feel general discomfort  but it only hurts if you apply it to the skin around the wart. You must let it dry before letting any skin to fold  over the spot you treated.

If it hurts to the point where you can't take it you are applying it to the wrong spot or maybe applying too much."


"I don't know what "feeling like myself again" would even feel like..so in contrast to other users I can't speak on that note. I do feel "better" since starting Brint. My suicidal thoughts have gone away. Of course I still feel hopeless and down at times. My anxiety seems to be much better. I have side effects of redding of my cheeks, weight gain despite eating less. I think I will stop it soon if the weight gain continues."


"Entocort is used as a bridge therapy to settle severe flares.  It brings almost complete relief within  2-3 days but it's just temporary as you can't stay on this drug for long periods of time."


"I had my first shot of depo 5 weeks after I had my second baby. I am breastfeeding so my options were the depo shot or the progesterone only pill (which the dr said is not as effective). At the time of my first shot I was cleared to workout so I immediately went back to my workout routine. 4 months after my first baby I was 10 lbs under pre-baby weight and by the time she was 6 months old I had gained some muscle back and looked and felt like myself again. I weighed 175 lbs at my first shot of depo when my baby was 5 weeks old and I'm now 170 and she is 5 months old. I didn't gain weight, but it basically stopped my weight loss. If you are at all concerned about weight loss do not take this drug!! I just want it out of my system for good."


"Has not worked for my belumia. I still throw up almost every meal. I don't throw up after taking it because I know I need it."


"I took this medication a little over 3 hours ago and all of the sudden started feeling nauseous and started cramping. I got in the shower, ate some bread, and drank a bottle of water and I seem to be doing okay now. If this medication does what it's supposed to do then it's worth it. Small price to pay for being stupid and having unprotected sex."


"When I first took Effexor I was in the first few days a bit jittery, but then I felt like I hadn't felt in years or ever. It was such a God send. Then with doctors advice after approx 12 mths I went off it.  I went on it two more times,  but my dose was higher and higher- no real help to me. Then a third time, I went off my head on it. The anxiety was woeful, so severe. I phoned up the help line for mental health and got the usual spiel- give it time, yes, it can cause that, speak with you doctor and so on. I read how this can happens then wamo it works. But I had already been on it before and never had such side effects.  It was horrible, and scary.  My personal experience is two opposites. Good and horrible."


"I was so scared to get it but i went in and it was so easy. You feel a little pinch and a small cramp and you are done. Very mild cramping after like the onset of a period..you bleed a little for a day. I did it 8 weeks after having my baby. I havent had it long enough to comment on how it affects my period but the process was a piece of cake."


"I have started the mirtaz 7.5mg from last night. Unfortunately, I strongly feel the dizziness."


"I have been using this medicine for almost 2 years with no side effects, which I am prone to from drugs, because of multiple organ issues.  I take it at night which keeps me from worrying about getting drowsy during the day."


"I took this medication when both of my parents died within 2 weeks. It worked really great for about a year. now I feel like it doesn't work like it used to and maybe my body's gotten used to it. But if you ever miss a dose you have extreme nightmares. So I am scared to go to sleep without taking it and thinking about maybe trying something new."


"This medicine is a god send. I have 3 herniated disks in my back and sometimes can not get out  of bed. Thanks to this medicine, I can have a good quality of life and do the things I need to do. It has helped me tremendously!"


"Got the iud for heavy periods.  Has helped so much, very light periods now, some spotting.  should've gotten the iud years ago!"


"I can focus so much easier now, my thoughts are manageable and I can keep them straight in a way I never have before
the only downsides are I am basically emotionless and it's difficult for me to let loose and have fun. Also another problem is when I miss a day I turn into a lunatic, like I am hyperactive, running on pure energy and unable to control what comes out of my mouth (thank God my teachers are cool!)."


"I absolutely HATE this pill because ever since I started it, I am angrier, more depressed, and I bleed NON STOP!!!!!!  Literally Every day since the day I started! I fear becoming anemic because of it.. I do NOT recommend this for anyone."


"I have been struggling with acne over half my life. I had tried over the counter remedies (benzoyl peroxide etc). My skin was never fully clear and I wanted to go for the final cleanse. I went to my Dr who prescribed Tactupump. I was expecting it to get worse before it got better, which is normal. It however continued and quickly became the worst acne I ever experienced. By the end of 2 months I had large cysts all over my face in places I never got pimples before, high on my cheeks and heavily on my jaw line. The cysts would form on top of each other and my face was visibly inflamed and swollen. My doctor immediately took my off the medication and put my on an oral anti-biotic to relieve the flare up. I now have large dark scars."


"I used the nuvaring for about 8 years as a birth control after my fist child. My periods were short and light (3 days) and it didn't affect my mood. I had always suffered from heavy periods and the pills would make me irritable. There were times where my husband would feel it during intercourse but that just meant it wasn't properly inserted. (Adjusted it and continued) though the package insert says you can have it off for 6 hours, I never dared to try. (Just in case) I stopped the NR when I was ready for my second baby and got pregnant in 4 months and had a tubal ligation. I recommend the ring to all of my girlfriends!"


"Great treatment!"


"Just had 1st 20mg...it's working!"


"I got Mirena 6 weeks after my second child was born in hopes for easy birth control. Insertion was painful, but nothing a little Ibuprofen wouldn't handle. I bled very light for 6 weeks straight after insertion. Finally my period came regularly it was extremely light but lasted at least 3 days longer than normal (7+days). That was nothing compared to the pain the IUD caused me 24-7, my husband felt it, even 9 months into having it he moved it causing extreme nausea, dizziness, back pain for 2 weeks until it moved back to place. Then lets add the severe PMS symptoms to the mixture, I was miserable. Had it removed 17 months after insertion and would not recommend to anyone. The pain and side effects out weight the benefits."


"I have Been on this medication for 5 months, my doctor put me on it to help with anxiety, I would say it helped with the anxiety, but the medication put me in a bad depression state, feeling hopeless and feeling lost, I felt like I was living my life in a dream, I started off at 10 MGS worked my way towards 20 mg, when I got to 20 MGS it gave me very bad insomnia, I could not sleep to save my Life, I know this medication may work for some, however no luck for me, to me it's been poison, over the past 3 weeks I weaned myself off it, today I am at day 3 without the drug and I seriously feel a massive difference I feel like my brain is working again I have had the best 2 sleeps a person could ask for, I feel refreshed!"


"I am Bipolar Type I and was switched to Saphris from Seroquel by my psychiatrist.  One dose and I began having suicidal ideation that I hadn't experienced in years. I had the presence of mind to call my psych doc immediately (it was a weekend) but she didn't call back.  I am a nurse and should have known better, but I took it the next day.  After the second dose, I was frightened I would act on the impulse.  Luckily I have a very supportive and observant husband.  I called doc again and she said to stop immediately, of course, as I should have after the first dose.  I saw her on Monday and went back to Seroquel.  Less severe side effects included numbness of my entire tongue and sick-feeling somnolence."


"I got nexplanon implanted the beginning of 2014 . Had bruising and soreness for like a week or two but wasn't too bad . Havent had any periods since I got it which I love . Very good prevention against pregnancy though :) . But the past year I've had the most awful headaches . Not much weight gain though . I love it ! After my 3 years I'm so getting it again !!"


"I was diagnosed three years ago with adult ADD (and I'm 46!). First was prescribed Adderall, but I found that even the slow-release capsule wore off quickly, leaving me exhausted and crashing at work, scarfing down cups of coffee. My doctor switched me by Vyvanse, and it's been much, much better. I am better able to focus, it lasts longer. However, it still doesn't get me through the whole day and I find I'm extremely tired at night. Also, sometimes I get caught up in the trivial details of both work and home projects. But on the whole, I am FAR better off since I began Vyvanse. I wish that 70mg was not the highest recommended amount, but I stick to it."

"This was my 2nd colonoscope. Sureprep tasted better than 2 bottles of miralax and no nausea. However after fasting all day and caefully following the directions. Started first dose at 6 pm follow by 5 glasses of water. Still no BM. Took 2nd dose at MN followed by 5 more glasses of water. It hits at 1am. I was up all night going till my bottom was raw. My BM's were pure liquid. But still evacuating once I got to the hospital at 7:30 am. This was horrible. As I woke I felt bile all over my sheets and bottom. There attempted to clean me out during test but Sureprep DID NOT clean me out enough for the exam and I have to repeat do to failed clean out. No large abnomalities seen but no bx could bw obtained. Very reluctent for a reppeat.Ug"


"Cause me to have severe joint pain."


"I suffer with fibromyalgia.  After 10 years of constant debilitating pain and fatigue.  Vicodan and fentanyl patches were my last resort, almost enough to overdose on, then a doctor finally suggested I drop everything else and use methadone.  I take a very small dose 20mg and it alleviates pain almost completely.  I am resigned to my condition but the methadone has given me back my life, I can work, be a mother to my children and my marriage is wonderful again."


"Amitiza works pretty good. I do still have to take Milk of Magnesia and mineral oil to feel completely emptied out. The severe nausea and headaches are very bothersome and sometimes they are worse than others. The side effects do go away once you have a bowel movement."

"This medicine is like magic. I had constant post-nasal drip and congestion before I took this medicine. It was so bad I had trouble sleeping because I couldn't breathe through my nose. I also used to get sore throats frequently due to the post-nasal drip. On Allegra those symptoms are gone. I can actually breathe like a human and sleep better. The only side effect is dry mouth but that just makes me drink more water which is a good thing. I am glad this is available over the counter now, but I hate how you only get 10 at a time. "


"On starting the self injection Enbrel, it took six weeks to take the pain away.  Enbrel if I had it prescribed twenty years ago, my life would not be wheelchair dependent. My life is anything but painful. I can take part in daily life, enjoy all that can be given."


"I have been on Trulicity for almost 8 months now. I did have a lot of nausea that little by little   improved over time. I have very little nausea at this point. I have lost 20 lbs since I started using it. My A1C is lower and my sugar is under control. My readings are wonderful. I am on the .75 dose. I tried the 1.50 and had major nausea..I felt awful. So went back to the .75 and  it's enough to keep my numbers where they need to be. In fact I am off all other diabetes medications now (was on Latus and Meteformin)"


"I have been having pain in my wrists, hands and elbows for years due to waiting tables and hefting 100 pound trays on one hand. Lately, I was having more pain in those areas, and my hips have started really hurting me. My doctor and I ran tests, and by process of elimination we feel that I have chronic fatigue, which can contribute to a lot of the allergy/asthma symptoms, the pains and exhaustion. I started taking Lyrica and am up to 100mg 3 x daily. I feel great. Everything but my hip is better."


"I woke up in the middle of the night after taking 3 doses (that's only 3 pills) in excruciating painit felt like someone had a huge sledgehammer and was slamming it against my left knee over and over again.  The pain was so bad I even vomited.  This pain lasted for weeks and I know have chronic tendonitis in that knee and am in constant pain.  Some days are better, but it's a constant pain and it's always swollen.  It's been like this since 2009, it is now 2016.  This class of drugs is toxic and should never be used as a 1st line of attack for infections; it shouldn't be used at all.  Don't ever take this drug or the others like it, they are called the "Fluroquinolones"  which also includes Cipro, Avelox to name a few."


"My doctor prescribed 150mg  trazodone at bedtime because I have problems sleeping. I start to feel funny within 15-20 minutes of taking it and that's my sign that it's time to lie down. It keeps me asleep with no weird side effects. No weird dreams. I feel groggy in the morning. but it goes away within a couple hours."


"I am a 45, & never pregnant (my husband of 17 years has a vasectomy, so pregnancy is not the issue). Got my Mirena Nov 6, 2015 to control heavy (gushing) bleeding every time I get my period (which was quite regular & predictable). I have bleed pretty much continuously since Nov - have had maybe 10 days total where I didn't bleed or have brown discharge. Cramps hit randomly and are severe. It's seriously starting to affect my marriage too-mood swings, constant bleeding=no sex, arguments because of no sex, etc. Called my GYN office today and told them I want this OUT - waiting to hear back from their nurse. I'd rather bleed heavy for 2 days and know it's coming than to maybe bleed or spot or cramp at any given time. NEVER AGAIN!"


"I got the implant June 2014 and I started my cycle about 3 weeks later and it was normal. The next month I was getting married on the week my cycle was suppose to start so my doctor gave me some meds to help hold it off for a week and it worked. November was the first month that my cycle lasted 28 days after that it's been like 2 to 4 weeks of bleeding 2 to 4 weeks off. I went to my doctor June 2015 and she put me on meds for 3 months to help give me a break from bleeding. The first month on the meds my cycle lasted about 34 days the 2nd month was 3 weeks long and so was the third month. I haven't had a break from bleeding at all and I can't tell you when I had  a cycle longer then 3 weeks without bleeding."


"I have been taking it for about three months now, I was prescribed it by an ER psych, for anxiety and insomnia.

Started on 50 mg which worked, but have worked up to having to take between 100 and 150 mgs a day to get the same effect.

I think it's better for short term use, because your system can quickly adapt to it and start to require more for the same effect."


"I have chronic back problem and take Oxycontin 40mg and I know they work."


"I had CFS for 7 years and when I had an episode of the illness I would be bed ridden for six  to nine months. Doctor gave me Amantadine in hospital and I instantly fell much better. Now I take it when the disease starts, I take from one to 3 daily for about a week. It helps me function normally and it always gets me out of the bed. When I way taking it for a longer period it would start to cause symptoms similiar to the dissase so the best way for me is to take is from time to time when I feel I have a relapse."


"I had lower back surgery several years ago. I ended up getting scar tissue build up within my spine which has caused on going back and leg pain. I've tried all the "normal" methods of relief.....TENS unit, back injections, nerve burn, physical therapy, etc. Nothing seemed to work except narcotic pain medicines. I was taking 10/325 Norco pills for pain management but I'm not a big pill type person so when I asked my PCP if there was anything else she suggested the Butrans patch. Tried 5mcg patch but wasn't very effective. Stepped up to the 10mcg patch and all is good now. I rarely need to take a Norco (maybe 2-3 a week for break through pain) but overall this patch has been VERY helpful. It does not make me feel high."


"So, I had some health issues lately that had me taking narcotic pain medication for about 2 weeks- one of the side effects of narcotics is constipation- being a nurse I knew I needed a stool softener while on the narcotics so I was taking Colace twice a day. After 4-5 days with no BM I decided to take 2 Dulcolax for some help- NEVER AGAIN!! After about 10 hours I was cramping, sweating, light headed and in so much pain I could hardly walk- yes I was able to have a BM but not before vomiting everywhere.... the side effects of this
Medication are not worth the pain! I felt like a knife was turning in my stomach and started on fire..."


"Took viorele for 2 months and I had to stop. Started taking the pill when my period started and my period went on for 4 weeks (medium bleeding). I also got nauseous after taking the first pack. Nausea and long bleedings stopped with the second pack. However, with the second pack I was very moody, I had this uncontrollable anger and being so angry made me cry so much.

Planning to switch to a lower dose pill. Being off the pill for 2 weeks, I can feel the difference. Even my boyfriend notices. I feel like I am no longer angry and moody all the time."


"Six weeks postpartum of having my baby I started experiencing UTI symptoms. After two rounds of antibiotics, ruling out appendicitis, the dr. concluded it must be a kidney stone. Told me to drink lots of water. For a month I experienced dull pain, extreme pain, to no pain. Finally I had excruciating pain. My hubby drove me to the hospital. Went to the Outpatient building (to avoid ER cost). Got CT scan and KUB scan. The urologist fit us in that day to look over. I had a 7mm stone that had reached my ureter. She prescribed Flomax. After 1 dose and 9 hours later, I passed the stone. Didn't even feel it pass! Woke up next morning and didnt feel pain. Went back to Outpatient for KUB scan and showed no stone! Only symptoms were dizziness."


"This product definitely works for me except here are some scary side effects (taken for 3 years) gum deterioration, tooth decay, weakness, fever and chills. Guess who's quitting Alli?"


"I LOVE this pill. I've tried several and always ended up with decreased sex drive, depression, and anxiety. None with this. After 2 months of taking this at the exact same time everyday, my periods went away and stayed gone for years. Who the heck wants a period??
Yay! The only reason I have to stop is because I'm having trouble fighting an infection in my mouth and my dentist said progesterone can make that more difficult. It's very important to take this one at the same time everyday - set an alarm and keep your pills in your purse so they're always handy. Taking these at random times will cause random bleeding or periods."


"I had botox bladder injections just over a week ago and wished id never let them anywhere near me. I suffer with severe over active bladder disorder, intersticial cystitis and have done all of my adult life I thought, prayed this would be the answer. A week on and i'm in so much distress and discomfort and at my wits end. God only knows if its such early days what else is to come. Im being treated for UTI even though the test showed negative but it was worth a try. On reading the posts on here it seems I'm not alone. Im hopefully seeing my Doctor tomorrow but not really sure what they're going to do. I am so fed up but it is reassuring to know im not the only one. This condition is a curse that no one can understand unless they've lived wi"


"I'm 16 and had constipation for 5 days with no bowel movements at all. Eventually I grew tired as I was getting heavier and felt worse by the day so I tried some tablets. I looked on here straight after taking them and was quite scared considering everyone seemed to have severe pains. And this was the case. Though the pains were extremely horrific I managed to pass most of it in the first half hour of waking up at 4 in the morning from the pain. I only took one tablet and wouldn't recommend more even if you've been stuck for days as it works well but there's a price to pay in pain."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I started Beyaz in March of 2015 for my acne and now it is February 2016- it has almost been a year. I've had bad acne for about 4  years before starting Beyaz. I was on dermatologist prescribed medication but nothing was working as good as it I would hope. About 2-3 months after starting Beyaz I noticed improvement. It was very slow improvement but now it is it beyond noticeable. About halfway through the year of using Beyaz I started in a new environment which was college I thought this would make me break out. Now, 6 months into college, and I hardly ever have breakouts and I use less and less makeup. For me, Beyaz has changed my face completely. I use to have multiple breakouts before, and now I can't even remember the last pimple I had"


"I have ADHD, OCD, and depression. The moment I took this medication my intrusive thoughts from OCD went away. I am no longer depressed, even when life should be getting me down. Everything seems bearable. I just feel like things are okay, I can make it. I've never felt like this before, really. Most of the time I get overwhelmed with life but I think this medication has pulled me out of the dark hole I was in before. It does make me very hungry and sleepy, I take it in the evenings. It's hard to get up in the morning but coffee fixes that for me. I don't recommend this to someone who can not control their eating habits and gains weight easily."


"My whole life I've had horrible periods. After having 3 kids my gyno finally discovered that my ovaries produce way too many eggs and my uterus has an extra thick lining. My tubes have been tied for 9 yrs. After having nightmare periods my Dr prescribed me provera. I've been on it for 2 months. The Dr said that as long as I take it, I won't have a period. Well I started a wk ago on my period again. It's been nonstop w absolutely no signs of quitting. I'm incredibly frustrated. The cramps and fatigue are more than I can handle."


"I was on Cymbalta for years but became incredibly exhausted. Doc said the accumulation of using drug so long can lead to tiredness also weight gain. Promptly changed drugs to Wellbutrin, epitec and aspen trazodone. Felt amazing and lost almost 15kg. Wellbutrin started causing tremors so now Replaced Wellbutrin with Brintellix and gaining weight sadly as great drug"


"I have no idea why I started smoking again after my son was born. But, alas, I did and here we go again! I tried the gum (nasty!) e-cigs (still felt like I was smoking, and even Chantix (super crazy dreams and still massive withdrawal symptoms). I decided to give the patch a try. LOVE THEM! I got the off brand of NicoDerm CA and have had an amazing experience! Yes, it is a bit itchy when you first put it on, but that goes away after a little bit. I'd rather deal with light itching than a massive cravings strike! I have NO interest to go out and smoke and have so much more time to do everything else! I do have a weird dream now and then, but NOTHING like with Chantix. I am 110%  confident I am done For good!"


"I'm writing this to help others out there who are contemplating on getting the skyla or any IUD. I was first on the pill for about 2 years until I realized I wasn't taking it at the SAME time every single day and that's exactly how one of my close friends got pregnant. I decided to take charge and get the skyla no matter what. The insertion was pretty painful probably about a 7 on a 10 scale, the cramps were absolutely terrible and it would come and go for about 7 to 8 months with the cramps. The only thing that would help was ibprophen and a heating pad and your bed. It's been a year since I've had it and it's the best thing I've ever done. I don't have to worry about anything at all, although the process is hard it's totally worth it!"


"I was prescribed Zoloft 50mg/day for anxiety/stress. I had previously taken Prozac and felt it didn't do a thing for me except decrease my sex drive tremendously. I've only been taking the Zoloft for 4 days and was told to take it at night as it might cause drowsiness. First night, my heart raced slightly, felt jittery, couldn't sleep and had to move my legs constantly, also found my hands shaking some during the day. Second night, no heart racing, but still cant sleep and have to move legs and feel slightly jittery, but feel fatigued during the day. Third night, just restless legs and not sleepy... feel tired during the day. I'm going to start taking it in the mornings and see if that will help. I need sleep. No other side effects so far."


"My experience was one of "thank goodness" until 17 days after. Now I am VERY irratable with little or no patience. I am seeing my doctor today for an update and will ask him to let me try (again) Dexedrine. I did not want to go off of it but I think because Vyvanse is new, well you can fill in the rest. The Dexedrine has been around for a long time and I feel it is above and beyond others with knowing what to expect all the time. Good luck to all of you. God Bless."


"I was changed from Wellbutrin XL 150, to Bupropion HCL SR. I have gained weight since the change. I feel better, but don't need the extra weight. Is this drug causing it?"


"I started this medicine 3 weeks ago and have lost 15lbs so far. I have side effects and like other users have said has really calmed me down and less stressful. This is the only thing that has ever helped me to drop weight. I also do spin classes daily and sort of watch what I eat. Although I can't eat very much it seems like just a few bites of food and I'm good. End result I'm very pleased with this medicine"


"First couple of days of taking  Harvoni  I had very vivid dreams. And a slight headache that lasted about a week.  I was on Harvoni for 12 weeks. When I was tested for Hep C  I was clean, retested and I was still clean."


"This medication has been very useful in reducing negative thinking. Most people take it at night. I find it more useful when I take it first thing in the morning. It works better if you avoid smoking. I've tried all different antipsychotics, Zyprexa is the only one that seems to work for me."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"My experience has been excellent with this.  Between myself, my husband, brother and mother - we have used all different bowel preps and this was BY FAR the easiest and most pleasant tasting one!!!!  If you can ask for it - do so!"


"Great medicine, I find it works best when I take it everyday around the same time. Also, I went to the Kapidex website, registered there and got a coupon for $25 for 30.  I'll gladly pay $25 per month for the relief this medicine brings."


"I have taken Keppra (levetiracetam) since January of 2007, so nearly 9 years.  I was taking another seizure drug, (Tegretol), but it was causing problems with the sodium level in my blood, so my Neurologist changed me to Keppra 500 me twice a day, and I have had no further problem.  I was changed to Keppra 750 2 years ago, as a precaution against any possible future seizures.  I have had NO SEIZURES while taking Keppra, and would recommend it to anyone who needs seizure control."


"I have Temporomandibular joint disorder which is Chronic and very painful. I asked the doctor for something for pain and he wrote tramadol. It has been very helpful more so than hydrocodone. I recommend it to anyone. The only negative side effect I've experienced is slight constipation."


"this was the absolute best thing i've ever experienced. simple to use, easy to take, and side effects for me were very limited. I only took this medication for 1 month and have not smoked now for over 2 months. I always suggest this to anyone wanting to quit smoking. the rating scale should go to 50 out of 10 for this stuff. awsome."


"Started taking it over the summer on a starter pack. I hate eating, and if you don't eat with this med, you're going downhill. Nausea, vomiting, major headaches, and more black and white BPD symptoms than without. Was placed on Deplin with it, but felt sick all the time. Haven't been back since school started due to other things, and in all honesty, the meds made it hard. Everything was elevated. Nightmares were worse. Little day to day events, terrible. A simple manic episode that I was used to? 12 times higher. Really disliked it."


"I'm currently on day two of the pill, and I already feel much better.

The only downside is how awake and energized it makes me! I took the second pill on day 1 too late and now I'm wide awake when I should be sleepy. Oops! At least I feel better :)"


"In the hospital, I received treatment for a significant manic episode with psychosis. I was on Geodon but it had stopped working so I switched to Seroquel. At low doses it was ineffective, however now I'm taking 600mg at night it has worked well. At this dose, after a couple of days I felt like myself again. I've noticed some drowsiness but in my experience with antipsychotics it will fade as I become acclimated to it. However, I am extremely hungry all of the time. Hopefully this will go away."


"I'm a former parole officer who suffered a back injury from a parolee assaulting and escaping from jail back in 1989. I had tried everything for relief of severe back flare-ups that occur and the resulting pain I have in my back, legs and neck frequently. Norco was prescribed by my doctor about 3 years ago and I cannot believe the results from this medication. I am very happy that this medication has allowed me to carry on a normal life again."


"The first sachet was so hard to get down, it was disgusting it took me a few hours to take it, I think this is because it was room temperature and in a pint glass. The second sachet was much easier to get down, as I put ice in the cup and used a smaller glass I also held my nose and drank water after every gulp.  I found the sachets very successful and definitely cleared me out."


"I had this inserted about 3 years ago.  It was like having really bad cramping for the the remainder of that day.  After that irregular periods for about 6 months to a year.  I have not had any problems that I would know to be related to this.  My periods have pretty much stopped.  It is so easy and I don't even know its there.  My husband says every once in a while he feels the string but does bother him.  I love it!"


"I have taken adipex before and lost 70 lbs in 3 months. I ran two miles everyday and ate lean cuisines. I was on a 1200 calorie diet. It took me two years to gain the weight back, being in college life gets busy and it just happened. Now I'm back on it and have lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about losing weight. You have to work hard to see amazing results, but it's completely worth it. From the comments I've seen some people were only prescribed it for 2 or 3 months, it may be a location issue but my doctor in MS will prescribe adipex for a patient for 6 months out of the year."


"I started taking sertraline about a month ago, and my life has done a complete 360! This is unbelievable to me, as I have tried many different prescriptions since I was a teenager including Prozac and  Celebrex. This is the first thing I have taken where I am not a zombie. My relationship with my husband has improved by leaps and bounds, I am more patient with our daughter, my work is less stressful. Overall I find I can cope with stresses much easier. Little things don't tick me off, or make me cry. I used to get really stuck on negative and compulsive thoughts, and had mild OCD as well, and guess what its GONE! Negative thoughts are PASSING thoughts for me now! Its amazing. Thank you to whoever created this wonder medicine. I am ME!"


"If I hadn't made the decision to begin methadone, I don't know where I would be.  It wasn't an easy choice at all, but now I am so glad I did it.  Its literally saved my life, my relationships and my future!"


"I started Lo Loestrin Fe because I was having some irregularities with my period and also to prevent pregnancies. This pill was awful. First of all, I already suffer from acne, which is slowly improving. However, this made my acne really bad and I began to develop cystic acne. I began to get constant awful migraines, and I don't have a history of migraines. I was also getting moody.
The pill affects everyone differently. But this pill did not work for me. After suffering a whole month with migraines and cystic acne, I stopped once my pack was done. I considered trying to stick it out, but decided it wasn't worth it."


"I just want to first say, that to all those people who reviewed it and complained - I came to look at these reviews and freaked out for a month over nothing. I've never been on birth control, I'm on my second pack, and I've had great results. The first month I spotted after two weeks, but once I finished my period and started the second pack, I haven't had any spotting since. I haven't gained any weight and my skin has been flawless. My mood swings may have increased slightly, but overall I've been very very satisfied with this birth control and I hope it continues."


"My last day on provera and I spotted a light orange color for a few hours but would only on the toilet paper.  The next day it was a a brownish colour again only on the toilet paper and today Tuesday it is a bright red colour but there is no flow,  I'm having bad cramps and backache with a slight headache.  I hope everything is fine.  This is my second time using this medication and the first time I didn't spot or anything until the 5th day like the doctor said I would and it was a heavy flow. Has anybody else been through this???"


"This medicine saved my life after my mother died and shortly after my daughters father was killed. It helped me relax and I was a lot easier to take it day by day. A great alternative to alcohol."


"Great medicine, Celexa."


"I got the Paraguard inserted in Taiwan, when I met my now husband. I'm giving a one star review because I got pregnant, lucky us right.. Anyways, not a successful form of birth control for us and we had to deal with what to do while both of us are expats living abroad, ultimately the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage which is pretty common after having the IUD removed. Just a shitty situation and I wouldn't recommend this IUD to others.. We asked the doctor how this could have happened, as we regularly get it checked to make sure it's in place, and he said we both must be ultra fertile. We have switched to the hormonal IUD so we'll see how that works for us-- apparently it's more effective."


"I have been on the patch for two years previously it was prescribed to me to treat Polycystic ovaries. Just recently got back on It and I am extremely shocked to read all those reviews. I have never gained weight on the pill if anything I have lost few pounds. I always had an issue with acne and patch helped to solve that too. First few days on the patch can't be classed as the nicest as I felt dizzy and vomited few times however that stops relatively quickly. I can't relate to the mood swings at all . I can only recommend and say In my experience patches are relatively good compared to other methods of contraception."


"I'm using this for my OCD and panic attacks. I've been on it for 3 weeks and I haven't had any panic attacks and as my OCD it helped. I'm only on 10mg and I have no side effects. This is a good antidepressant."


"So here I am,  sat in the same place as the rest of you! I'm 19 years old and it's the second time I'm drinking moviprep, this time in preparation for a capsule endoscopy (last time I had a colonoscopy). My first experience with moviprep was horrible, taking me 6 hours to drink the full 2 litres. Due to this, it's safe to say that I have been dreading drinking it again. Although, I am here after drinking the first litre in half an hour and can honestly say it hasn't been too bad (not as bad as I remember it at all!!) my method is simply drinking 3 gulps out of a pint glass and then sucking on a hard boiled sweet, if works a treat. It started working quickly on me, only 15 minutes after finishing the first litre. Good luck guys!!"


"It's only been one week since starting Paxil (20mg) and I can honestly say I feel great! I have no side effects. I will post once a week and let you know my progress!!"


"My gyno recommended this pill b/c of it's low estrogen. I have VERY heavy periods and a fibroid. My symptoms every month are insane and I can't even imagine why she thought this garbage would help. Apparently she hasn't read one freaken review on it. I started the pill on the last day of my period, then two weeks later I started my period again. It's been 5 days straight and on the 5th day, the flood gates opened and I am now using a new super tampon every 30 minutes. This is what I was trying to get away from. I have bled more on this pill than I did without. I am stopping immediately. This pill is crap, avoid at all costs!"


"I have been on several medications (citalopram) & after 6   years it simply stopped helping my anxiety. It made me tired, foggy & spacey anyways. I had a hard time being sharp at my corporate job. I then got off of anything and was just ok for 7 months. Then my spouse almost died and it sent me reeling into depression & severe anxiety. I was paralyzed with fear. I couldn't get my work done, cried all the time, had major anxiety. I was afraid to try anything due to the fear of being tired, foggy or dull. Started 30mg Cymbalta. It helped me within 3 days. First 3 days was nauseous. After 2 weeks I was no longer depressed, no catastrophic thinking or panic attacks. Wish I had tried 10-20 years ago! It has turned me around. Not foggy or tired!"


"I was taking an SSRI antidepressant and other depression medicines but they didn't work. I started taking this and felt way better than I did before. I've been taking it for a while and got used to the sedating side effects and it's helped me from the first time I took it."


"I have used for at least 15 years with excellent results for head and body aches.  The Extra Strength is great in the morning since I don't drink coffee.  It relieves the morning bodyaches and gives you a perk up.  I use the Back and Body at night. There's no caffeine and you don't get the 'side effects' of evening medications. Only drawback is occasional stomach bleeding (evident in stools) and occasional heart burn.  Works better than Vicodin for me."


"I'm so glad I got Paragard. But at the beginning I almost took it out/

INSERTION: Not going to lie, it really hurt for me. It felt like some of the worst cramps I'd ever experienced. I didn't take painkillers afterwards and the 40 minute bus ride home it felt like it was pulling apart my body. TAKE A GOOD DOSE OF ADVIL/IBUPROFEN.

Afterwards: Horrible cramps, felt pretty sick for 5 days. My vagina felt like it'd lost feeling. I tried to test it, and an orgasm really hurt. I thought something had gone wrong, After a week, things returned to normal, and sex felt good again.

First two periods: They were the literal worst I've had in my life. I was totally out of work.

Periods since: I DON'T HAVE CRAMPS ANYMORE! It's so amazing. Period. Worth it."


"I have taken Imitrex ever since it came out in the 90s. It works and I'll be forever grateful that it does. If you, like me, know what it was like to get migraines before Imitrex came out, you'll understand why I sing its praise."


"I have moderate eczema around my eyelids, and though cortisone based creams do have a beneficial effect in bringing down the inflammation, irritation, scaling, dryness and itching, I was concerned that long term use would cause my skin to thin, and also that I might get glaucoma or cataracts.
I decided to try Epiceram after reading that Stanford medical researchers now believe that eczema is not an autoimmune disorder, but is caused by a breakdown of the skin's natural barrier due to dryness. The theory is that if you can re-moisturize the skin, outside insults from the environment will not trigger an attack. After using it for 5 days, Epiceram worked amazingly well, but to avoid stinging in my eyes, I shut my eyes after applying to let it dry."


"I've been on Contrave for 7 months with 50 pounds of weight loss, in conjunction with a 1400-1600 calorie diet and exercise 30 minutes 4-5 days a week. For the first 4 months or so, it was so strong for me, that I only took one pill a day and it worked great. Months 5 and 6 I moved up to 2 a day. Doctor monitors me every month. She was fine with me taking a lower dose. She said you'll know when you need to increase your dose because eventually your body will become adjusted to the medication and you'll need to up the dose. I also had constipation the first two weeks, but I upped my fiber consumption and took Miralax. I have had had no side effects since. Starting weight 273. Current weight 223."


"I have been suffering from back pain for many years, mainly due to heavy contact sports and work related lifting, and lately find it difficult to walk for long distances without being doubled over in pain. I would struggle to stand up from a sitting position. The pain would go down my legs and into my abdominal region, and have been trying all different kinds of treatment from gels to moderate pain killers all with different degrees of success, but none that actually took the pain away completely, and not for any length of time. I was eventually prescribed Naproxen and in less than a day I felt a different person. The pain has gone completely from everywhere. It's a new lease of life and can look forward to doing things again pain free."


"Urinating well, but took several months for full effect. Still going twice a night. But flow is good. I would say this is the best thing since sliced bread if it weren't for the sexual side effects. My orgasms before taking Flomax were very intense. Now after four months it is like I even don't want to have sex. There is build up, but no release whatsoever."


"This is my 4th week with full doses 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. I am very honest in this feedback, my first week I took I don't have any side effect but when I get to my 3rd day, I experience migraine headache, which only last me half of that day and I feel fine. The most effective I've noticed is that I don't even want to drink no more, (liquor,wine,beer etc) that was on week one.  I used to drink here and there when I am at home but now I am completely off from alcohol.
Now that this is my 4th complete week of full dose, yesterday 2/17/17 ( I've experience nausea after I had my coffee then I threw up , just feeling sick and weak. Today I feel the same but not the nausea kind only little restless.  It's my 4th week I quit coffee"


"I have severe panic attacks and bipolar. I used to be on Xanax for six years. Now my Obamacare new Dr refuses. Klonopin doesn't help my panic attacks. A little calm but makes me very angry and mean. Not as strong as Xanax. Doesn't help anxiety attacks, takes too long. My heart still races."


"I have been on one form of hypothyroid meds for the last 20 years.  I have used Tirosint for a year and half.  The only thing that I can say for it is the doctor loves it. I hate it. I was hoping it would help with my fatigue, swelling, and forgetfulness.  The only thing that has changed for me is my cheeks are redder, I feel bloated all the time, and I am losing my hair. I'm still tired, and still think I'm losing my mind. Logical worked better than all of them including the Armui"


"So I've had nexplanon for about 4 months now and it's coming out in 2 weeks. My first month was straight bleeding and since then I am almost constantly spotting. My sex drive has all but disappeared and I've gained almost 15 pounds. I'm moody and irritable and can not wait to get it taken out. On the positive end if you can deal with the side effects it is an excellent birth control. You don't have to worry about forgetting it and it last for 3 years. It's just not right for me."


"I have used this medication for anxiety allergies and to halp me fall asleep for 14 years, and have not had any reaction other than those needed. Now the insurance states that it is not appropriate for use in the elderly. I am 69."


"I am 24, 5'9" and at 282 I'm the biggest I've ever been. I started taking this medication (Phentermine ) on Monday 4/11/16. For four days I only took half a pill, today is my first whole pill. So far my appetite and cravings are gone, which I have to force myself to eat on account of my diabetes. I am on 2 different medications for my diabetes, one for acid reflux and one for depression. I'm doing great, with only taking a half pill for four days I've lost 2  pounds. I've started some small exercises and eating better. I can't wait to see what happens now that I take a whole one. I'm really hoping in the end I don't have to take anymore medications."


"I began taking Levothyroxine at 25 MCG in October of 2015, I had my partial removal of my right thyroid gland when I was 19 yrs old. I am now 37 and just started taking meds. I was always tired and overweight. Now I take the medication to be honest I don't feel different anyway. I know I'm always constipated and I'm in the process of trying to lose 20 more lbs but I'm stuck at the weight and it isn't coming off. I was put on thyroid medication by a weight loss doctor and just remained on them after I quit.
For years I never took any medication but wake up every morning to take this pill. So far the meds don't really make me feel any different. I'm very active and work out a lot. Just doesn't do much for me but afraid if I stop now I will have side effects."


"Otezla had recently been approved. After three months on Otezla my skin was mostly clear (psoriasis returned FAST post-Embrel). I was able to stop ibuprofen completely. The pain was reduced to 1/10. Anti-nausea meds helped with stomach discomfort of Otezla side effects. Fourteen months in, the nausea was getting worse, lasting all day. Tremors. Appetite non-existent. Fatigue and anxiety increasing to unbearable levels. Spending more time in bed than not. Pain returning to joints... especially hands, feet, and lower back. Stopped Otezla three weeks ago. Appetite is back, nausea and diarrhea gone. Anxiety minimal.  Energy level much higher. Was only going to stop Otezla for two weeks. I believe I am done with Otezla. Quality of life decision."


"After a health scare I opted to try chantix even though I was a bit nervous about the side effects.  So far I am amazed with how well it's working.  Definitely got some nausea (pretty bad) and headaches but helped a lot if taken with food.  Dreams were vivid and I remember them more but nothing awful.  I just started a week ago and stop smoking fully 3 days ago - obviously long road ahead, but I can't believe how easy this has been.  I have had no withdrawal symptoms, very few cravings - which I can easily shake off.  I've been smoking a pack a day for 20 years and never thought I quit!  I highly recommend."


"Definitely helps with anxiety when combined with an SSRI."


"I started this med in September of 2015.  I have been on 30 psychotropic medications over the past twenty years to manage my MDD and anxiety.  Had 30-ish ECT treatments as well.  Also have regular CBT therapy.  Nothing was working for more than a couple of months.

However I started Trintellix and saw improvement within a month.  After a decade of a depressive episode that I never got into remission from, I was in partial remission.  No, it isn't complete remission but I've dealt with the fact that that may not be in the cards for me.

I haven't had active suicidal thoughts in a year.  Until that point, I hadn't gone without suicidal thoughts for more than a month.

This drug has been a life saver for me.  No side effects."


"My doctor always give this to me every time I got my pharnygitis, which normally attacks on winter times.."


"Caused severe tendinitis in my knee, and a minor attack of tendinitis in my thumb."


"This drug saved my son's life. He failed to respond to any other drug and lost two years of his life in mental facilities. He was put on Invega Sustenna and within 2 weeks was changed.  Within 3 months he was almost asymtomatic.. Over the next 4 years he earned a degree in computer science with a 4.0 GPA and within 1 unit of a Masters with a very high GPA and accepted into a Phd Program.

The insurance company forced us off the depot sustenna injections onto pills. Within 8 weeks he was fully psychotic and in a lock down facility.

The injectable form is a miracle drug!

It should be a crime to allow an insurance company trying to save a few dollars more to destroy someone's life as they have.  Write to Jannsen, Write to your congressman!"


"Years ago I took Phendimetrazine 105 mg at 10 am and 35 mg. at 3:00.  I lost 15 lbs the first week and 10 lbs the following week.  I thought I didn't have to exercise and I sometimes would forget to take it.  I also thought I didn't have to eat - the less I ate the more weight I would lose.  So by the 3rd month, I wasn't losing it as quickly as I thought I should so I eventually quit taking it.  I have decided to go back on it and started today. The weightloss doctor told me not to eat sugar or fried foods, keep my calories at 1,200 a day, eat 3 meals a day and exercise 3 times a week and it's okay to splurge and eat one big meal a week.  I'm going to try to stick to it this time!"


"I highly recommend Stelara. After getting my first shot I immediately felt my skin clearing up and by the next day about 60% was gone. That week 80% was gone (btw I have guttate psoriasis) and I was super stoked because I've tried metho, cyclo,and Enbril (enbril only made my skin worse) but nothing really worked 100%. After my second shot which was a month after my first one I noticed it start coming back even on my scalp and I hadn't had it there in years. About 60% has came back. Luckily I had no side effects though. I think this could be the answer for a lot of psoriasis sufferers! My skin is just stubborn and hard to treat but not as bad as most people ):"


"Strattera was like water through my system, dirty water; did nothing except give me terrible distress: Stomach aches, terrible constipation, nausea, constant dry heaves, and, at last, vomiting that almost had me fail my last school semester. Oh, did I mention the irritability at all the side effects?

Had to quit cold turkey"


"I have been taking zinc for a month, almost everyday, one tablet, for adult acne. It  has made a big difference in my skin's look and feel. I have also cut back on coke, I only have about three a week, if even that many and I haven't had any side effects."


"I turned age 66 last yr and at annual check up my Dr recommended I get a pneumonia shot (never had 1).  The Doctor said take half that yr and other half this yr and then never take again. Last year  I had redness and swelling of arm, joint and body pain, chills, weakness and cough.  The redness had gone after 1 week but other symptoms continued for 2-3 months. This year at check up I told my Dr my side effect symptoms but he didn't think it was from shot, so he gave me the other half. Within 2 hours arm swollen with redness covering whole upper arm.  I was hot at the injection site and stiffness in joint and reduced range of motion. I had soreness in front and back shoulder area. I had body aches ,low grade fever and in bed for 3 days. Some side effect symptoms are better but redness, soreness, low range motion still present. Never again thank goodness"


"I get cold sores when I go in excessive sun at least once a year. I could see that the sore was coming this time around, so I grabbed some abreva. Not only did it seem to be of little affect, but it made my blister grow more than I have seen it without treating it with anything. The Abreva takes the pain away, but as for the blistering, it only makes it larger."


"I've been on tramadol for almost two years for neck and knee pain. I have a lot of break through pain. When I don't take it I will sleep all day. I don't think that's right but my Doctor doesn't even ask any more, he just gives me the medicine."


"The only thing this did for me was waste my money!  It wasn't covered by my insurance, so I purchased it at the pharmacy.  I couldn't sleep, I got the shakes, felt nervous and dizzy."


"I used a little more than recommended to cover all thinning areas.maybe 75% of the cap each time. For the first few weeks there was shedding and then growth of hair throughout scalp (crown and most of top scalp) at month 3 to 4 of usage but at same time (month 3 to 4 of usage) , I experienced extremely low libido. I have completely stopped the medication for 3 weeks now and I think I am recovering. Thanks."


"I'm 34, started at 168 lbs & am 5 ft tall. Week one I had dizziness & really bad anxiety. Day 3 thru 5 I thought I was going to pass out at work. I can't stay asleep. Week one I lost 2 lbs. I'm on week 2. I increased to 2 pills on Saturday. Earlier today (Monday) my coworkers said I was acting weird & I felt anxious again. I took my 2nd pill at 8 pm. It is now 5:20 am. I woke up at 2:45 feeling dizzy & very anxious like panic attack anxious. I am tired, nauseated and dizzy. I don't see how I'm supposed to go to work. I'm seriously considering going off this medicine.
Pros: it really did cut out cravings, I eat A LOT less, I drink more water & it's easier to make better choices
Cons: Anxiety, lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, insomnia"


"Lyrica was my miracle drug for the first few weeks. I've been living with Fibromyalgia for over 5 years and have tried everything. Anti depressants, exercise, narcotics, you name it. So I was excited about the dramatic pain reduction from Lyrica. But now I have developed severe muscle weakness, headache, abdominal cramping, blurry vision, bad judgement which causes accidents to my fingers and toes

 I have recently had difficulty thinking clearly. I can barely hold myself up and I can't lift anything over a few pounds. I have asked my doctor if I can safely stop taking it. She said stop daytime and only take at bedtime. every other night till I ween off. My quality of life has worsened. I have started Chondroiden, MSM powder and ALpha Lipoid"


"After visiting a neurologist for burning and tingling pain in both feet, I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and pre-diabetes.  (I'm slender, always ate a well-balanced diet, and exercised.)  I tried various medications but the side effects outweighed an pain relief.   I have been on Gabapentin (neurontin) 200mg at night for four years.  It doesn't relieve all pain, but it does allow me to sleep through the night.  I wake up every morning in pain, which continues on and off all day.  However, I have very little side effect (occasional sadness, irritability, nausea).   Neurontin allows me to have a reasonable quality of life, and very inexpensive."


"I got the nexplanon put in in March 2015 and have had one period since. It was just spotting but lasted three weeks, ending last week (part of the month of July). I don't get cramps or bloating anymore, but I went up a cup size in the first month on it! Overall I have had a great experience with it and would definitely recommend it."


"I was taking risperdal before this but that made me too lethargic and have loss of interest in everything. Rexulti has helped me with my bipolar and mild schizophrenia. I take 2mg/day. I only had minor side effects like headaches and upset stomach the first week which faded away. I also take Celexa 40mg a day which I have been on for a year. The first few months it worked great but these past few months it doesn't seem to be working. I'm considering cutting down to 20mg/day of celexa because I think the combination of these drugs is too strong for me."


"I have had migraines ever since I was about 19. They have gotten worse over the years and I have tried everything over the counter. I recently went home because of a sick relative. I woke up @ 2 a.m. with one if the worse migraines of my life. Vomiting all day. My step father gave me a Fiorinal. And within 15 mins it was gone. I just went to my physician. And he prescribed it for me. I pray it continues to work."


"I was only prescribed amitriptyline a week ago. I used it for the first time on Monday night and my experience was horrible. I felt like I had no control over my body, it really was a trip. I felt almost paranoid because of it and the dry mouth (which my doctor warned me about) was unpleasant. I made up my mind that I would rather go back to Xanax or lorazepam for my Depression and recently diagnosed PTSD."


"Good "


Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompetent Host

"I pop one of these, "Valtrex" 1grm and not long after I notice a change in my cold sores.  AND I GET THEM BAD.  ....so bad that I can't eat things like chips, salty things, candy, etc. It's miserable.  If Valtrex didn't exist, I would be in quite a lot of pain and discomfort.   I carry extras in my locker at work in case an outbreak hits again."


"After 6 years with very strong depression that nothing helps, this medicine saved my life. It takes more then a month to kick in and it continues to grow for full year but after you use it you fill strong and don't think about depression anymore. If you have resistant depression you must try this. It's a totally different class than the rest. I also tried all the natural 5HTP, St. John's Wort and the rest and nothing helped."


"I'm pretty sure this stuff is made out of fire ant venom. The burning is beyond belief. After removing as much as I could, taking benedryl, Advil, and a Melatonin I was finally able to sleep. This stuff is what nightmares are made of."


"This pill sucks, I got pregnant while on it."


"I was prescribed this for dysmenorrhea. It helped incredibly I hardly had any cramps! My nausea, vertigo, severe diarrhea was completely muted. However, I have gallbladder dyskinesia which this medicine did inflame my gall bladder a lot & I swear this medicine was the cause of my nightmares I would constantly have. Worked well for what it is made to do! I just don't think my body was a perfect match for the medicine."


"I'm deciding to comment because I read so many painful reviews on here. I just got mine inserted yesterday. It was honestly not bad at all. The reason I think maybe my experience was different is because I was instructed to come in and have it inserted DURING my period. When you are menstruating, your cervix is more open so the procedure is easier and less painful. My period is almost over and honestly my cramps have been no different than any other period I've had. If you are deciding on Skyla as a birth control method, schedule your appointment during the heaviest day of your period when your cervix is nice and open. Just a tip."


"I'm on my second, and last, depo shot. The first time I got the shot I only experience spotting for about 2.5 months. During my second shot I've experience severe abdominal pain causing me to barely be able to eat for a few months now, depression that comes and goes out of nowhere, headaches, weakness and fatigue even if I sleep 8 hours I still feel exhausted throughout the day, and since the second shot I've had multiple anxiety attacks. I would not recommend this shot to anyone. I haven't felt like myself in months and even the smallest amount of stress will get to me and cause an anxiety attack or depression. Before the shot, I've never had any of these symptoms."


"My son was on this drug for years.. he now has tardive diskenesia after being taken off this horrible drug. DO NOT let young children take this drug. My son was given this drug because he was ADHD and was defiant  at age 7. this drug fuelled 6 years of aggression, hospitalization,  and learning disability. When the medication was stopped, he was in the hospital for a week with seizures . He will always be on meds for tics..and has permanent pupil dialation . Good news is , he has no behavioral issues and is an honor roll student"


"42 yrs old, diagnosed @ 34. Was on Rebif(terrible for me), for about 5 yrs(3 shots/wk).  Always felt like I had flue like symptoms.  Constantly taking Advil, for aches and pains and chills.  Tried tecfidera for about 2yrs.  Worst abdominal pain and bloating ever!!(2 pills/dy).  Now on Aubagio(1 pill/dy) and I couldn't be happier!! Small amount of bloating, but overall no issues.  This one is working for me!!"


"I've only been on Yasmin for a week and I can't say I've even had any really noticeable side effects as I'm already an emotional person in general I haven't seen much change. I hear you get nauseous if you take it on an empty stomach so I take it every night after dinner so I don't run into that problem. My skin hasn't really changed. I've never really had break outs I just get a few pimples here and there and that's what I'm having now but that's what I expected with this changing my hormones. I think a lot of it has to do with tricking your mind into having the side effects. I haven't noticed any changes except I'm way more thirsty from like it is a  diuretic so I've drank tons of water and actually lost 6 pounds. I love it so far :)"


"So now after almost a year on the patch starting at 10mcg now at 15 mcg, doctor wanted to increase to 20 mcg but was a little nervous so I kept it the same. However, I'm thinking that I will increase to 20 next month so I can stop the tramadol all together. I hate being on tramadol. The variations of manufacturer switches make me sick I can't take mylan at all it about kills me like poison. But the patch itself is a life saver. I have a life again. The ONLY complaint I have is my Dr fought for Aetna to pay for it now they do so instead of $577 I pay $30.00 and last I get very little sleep. I have found myself sleeping literally sitting up with no idea how I got there - scary. I wake up MANY times a night I don't sleep a whole 2 hours through."


"I have been on fluoxetine for just over 3 weeks, I started to feel a bit better after 10 days or so, then the last couple of days I been feeling very teary and anxious, I was given diazepam at the start to control the anxiety which I only took a couple of, but find I have had to take them the last couple of days, hope this is just part of the tablets settling and will get better."


"Taclonex Susp. has turned my life around! I primarily use it on my scalp and sometimes on the cuticles of my toes. I no longer look like a walking dandruff commercial. In the beginning, I did use it about 3-4 times in a row, at night. Then I'd shampoo with a product that had salicylic acid in it. After about 6 months, I didn't need to use the Taclonex as often. It has become an "as needed" medication for me. When my scalp starts itching, it's time to start using the Taclonex Susp.

I did get a Zero Co-Pay card my derm and have not paid anything for this.

Do have psoriasis everywhere else."


"With it, calm and restoring nights, without middle of the night or too early awakenings."


"Helped with the endometriosis pain but had constant nausea and severe leg pain that was debilitating to the point of going to the ER. Could not rest my legs and was making me miserable."


"Sunday I had unprotected sex, wasn't sure if the guy finished in me. Yes, this sounds irresponsible but I'm human. We all make mistakes. Anyways I took the pill after the following Monday. (24 hrs) I was scared to take the pill. Side affects were laziness & hungry every min. I had bought pregnancy tests bc I was starting to think I was preggo since I would get hungry a lot. Never in my life was I so scared. This morning I felt bloated, I went to the restroom and turns out I got my period. I couldn't be more happier. Ladies, don't doubt yourself or overthink. Mistakes happen. Lesson learned and always have a condom!!  #ThankyouAftera!!"


"I had very aggressive prostate cancer that lead to a radical prostatectomy but they didn't get all the cancer. Seven weeks of radiation and the PSA was down to .04.  It crept up slowly but when it started doubling ever 2-3 months I was put on Zoladex.  Although I have hot flushes and am struggling to maintain fitness and strength the side effects are minor compared to dying of cancer!  My PSA has now dropped back to undetectable."


"My infection cleared up by the second day I was using it, but I was given a prescription for 500mg twice a day for seven days. The side effects have been bad. I have a headache, I vomit everything I swallow, and can barely get out of bed."


"I had first hive outbreak at age 63, off and one, lasting for a year.  I visited the allergy doctor once and was advised to "enjoy life more and don't do too much!  It could be stress-related".  I did not take any medicine.  Then for one and half a year, I was fine.  For the recent 3 months, I have been suffering from the second chronic hive outbreak.  They are acting up on my face, lips, eyes, and face which are new and more severe symptoms.  At the same time, my older son had the same outbreak and has been taking Zyrtec daily by his doctor's recommendation.  I have been asking a total of 13 pills from him.  Firstly I took one a day for 4 days.  They were very effective on me.  Each pill can stop the hives for 3 days."


"14 yrs of chronic agony!!!!

Amitriptyline, Strong Opiates & Diazepam work.

"


"Working for a long time just don't take more than what is prescribed. "


"MS-Contin 60mg daily since 1998 w/breakthru pain combo w/MSC-IR 30mg 3x day. Some dizzy + naseau @times w/MSContin. Began Hysingla ER 60mg daily 3 mo ago w/excellent results.  No lumbar pain.  80% CSPINE pain reduction + NO side effects period. Does work around clock. Chronic discogenic pain in lumbar since 1989 post 3 level lumbar lami. PCDF C2-C5 + ACDF C5-C6 w/80% pain relief. Miracle Rx for me! NO addic. issues.  Feel NO high w/sustained release meds. Just wish price will go down soon! Highly recommend for those w/mod- sev lumbar pain that tolerate opiates well. Also, like MSC, NO liver panels."


"I been drinking the pills for one week already and still haven't pass my kidney stone."


"This was like a miracle prescription! Works great, no side effects. I did learn to never put it on right after shaving my armpits though!"


"I had the Implanon for almost a year. I never stopped bleeding the entire time. Prior to the Implanon I was getting the Depo Provera shot, I had been getting that for 3 years and never stopped bleeding on that either. That was the only negative side effect for me, unfortunately, bleeding non-stop for a year is pretty bad, almost defeats the purpose of birth control. I gave it a 2 because I like that I didn't have to worry at ALL about it. It was in, and I didn't have to remember to take a pill, or change anything. My doctor says if you want to try the Implanon, try the Depo Provera shot first, and if you bleed constantly on that, don't switch to Implanon. If you do good on Depo Provera shot, the Implanon will most likely work for you as well."


"I take 10mg midodrine three times a day for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.  It has changed my life completely.  I'm able to be active and do all the things I used to avoid.  I go to concerts, movies on opening night, and shopping at places with long lines.  I can date without worrying about whether we're going somewhere that I'll need to stand still. There are side effects - weird sensations and goosebumps mostly.  The benefit far outweighs any negative effects or risks."


"I've been taking contrave for a week and a half. I'm now taking the morning and evening pill. Iv'e had very little side effects. A lil groggy the first day taking it. I have lost 4 pounds so far."


"I've had 2 back surgeries in the last 6 months (herniated disc). I still have back pain but the nerve pain all up and down my right leg is unbearable. I take 30mg of Oxycontin twice daily. I also take Percocet 10/325 four times a day for breakthrough pain. I would not be able to stand or sit if not for this medication."


"This medication works so well that people actually commented on how clear my face was and how good my skin looked. I however, have concerns about long-term use of an antibiotic."


"I take a 100 mg at night my side effects are teeth gritting at night, no appetite and shaky hands. It helps with the illness though and I love it."


"I like to think of myself as a pretty normal 20-year-old and I play sports in college. Ever since my pharmacy changed from ortho tri cyclen to tri-estarylla, I have been depressed, crying, angry, severe anxiety attacks and more. I have been on birth control for my irregular periods since I was about 16 and had NO problems with Ortho Tri Cyclen. DO NOT TAKE TRI-ESTARYLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"I have been on  Lo Loestrin Fe  for 3.5 years which is more than awesome, just make sure you take it at the same time everyday without stop.

As far as my sex life, you have to be vigilant....date nights and 3-4 times a week exercise.
I have four boys so I know about being exhausted. You have to love yourself before you can love someone else. Attitude is up to you. It will go away but you must put up the effort to bring it back."


"I've been taking med for two weeks and 5 days. In my first week the side effects where anxiety and sweating. I didn't have dry mouth but I do now, the second day I felt depressed, the third day I was anxious then I had mid cycle bleeding from then on for about 4 days and was kinda tired but I also wasn't well and I have had the contraceptive implant fitted recently so I wasn't really worried about the odd bleeding as i felt fine in myself. End of wk 1 I had lost 13lbs in my second wk lost 4lb so still a decent loss. I haven't exercised as I've been mad busy but I will when it becomes hard yo  loose  more weight  then I'll step it up with the exercise :) its a 10/10 for me so far just listen to your body you know your body best."


"I love this birth control, I was a little sore for the first few months but I totally got use to it and now it doesn't feel like anything. I had it since I was 21 and I'm turning 24. Gonna keep it until I want children:)"


"I'm a 22 year old guy who went on Fanapt about 8 months ago for bipolar disorder. I'm pretty sure it helped me function in college again, calmed me down, stabilized my mood. The one problem was it demolished most of my sexual functioning: I completely lost the ability to ejaculate, could rarely get and keep an erection, and had significantly less sex drive. I have been talking to my psychiatrist about going off Fanapt soon because I don't think it is worth the sexual side effects."


"I have been taking Lyrica for about 4 months now. While it does help with the pain, I feel like I'm walking on pillows. I'm constantly hungry, sleepy, dizzy and I feel like I'm drunk. I worked VERY hard to lose the weight that I gained when I was pregnant and since I've been on this medication, I've put it all back on and then some (40 lbs). It's hard to say if the pain is better or if I'm so caught up with the side effects that I don't care. I'm being weened off of it right now and being put on a different medicine. I'd rather go back to the opiates and itch like crazy."


"Love this! I was on the pill for years. After getting pregnant with my 1st I had a Mirena inserted, which was a huge mistake. After my 2nd I was on the mini pill since I breastfeed and didn't want to worry about my milk supply.  After 2 years my cycles got irregular and I loved the progesterone only since I had zero side effects. I had this inserted on 5/17 and felt nothing. I was nervous since I had so much pain with the insertion. I have had no period, no problems with acne, or bloating, or cramping. The only thing I did notice was when my cycle was due I was PMSing like usual but had no bleeding or spotting to go with it. Highly recommend this form of contraception."


"RELAX!!!!! Plan b works. I too was worried for my life that it wouldn't but fortunately it did. Long story short I had intercourse with my gf. The condom broke and we didn't use birth control. Plus I made the mistake of finishing inside. I thought I was done for at the time. Until I realized that she was on the 8th day of her ovulation cycle when we had intercourse and that on the 9th day I gave her that single plan b pill. About a month later her period finally came and it all was behind us. Best $50 spent."


"I started taking this birth control, and on the 8th day I had a anxiety attack (something I have never had or experienced in my life) However I was under a lot of stress so that could of been the reason to.  Since you start this pill on the first day of your period, my bleeding lasted 10 days.  Once I got into the second month, on the 3rd row (only 3 weeks later) I got another period that also lasted about 10-11 days.  In my third pack i got my period 36 days later , and I've been bleeding for 16 days straight, the bleeding just never stopped I ended up having to contact my gyno to switch to another pill.  Also had acne which was new to me.  Only good thing was no weight gain."


"Was prescribed 500mg three times a day for  7 days for parasite. On the 7th day I started feeling better and my stools were returning to normal. For 3 days after the end of treatment I felt soooo good, I thought I was cured... only to be sick again on day 4 after treatment. Maybe I need a longer treatment or another antibiotic. However I saw a difference after taking it. In my case the side effect were awful tast in the mouth and dark urine, but nothing is comparable to the symptoms of this evil parasite that I am dealing with since 2 years thinking I had IBS ..."


"Started sertraline at 25mg and have slowly increased to 200mg daily over a period of 9 months. My depression is totally gone, but have continued to battle general anxiety and a little social anxiety.  Just increased to 200 mg this week and have my fingers crossed!  I also take 1 mg Klonopin daily. I'm a 55 year old female and as I look back over my life, I can see that I've always had anxiety issues. Zoloft has been a tremendous help for me!"


"Love this medicine. Works wonders, it even has kept my blood sugars lower than usual (I'm a type 1 diabetic) BUT it WILL decrease your blood pressures so if you have normal blood pressure be very careful, if you overdose you could faint from low blood pressure. I take 50 milligrams 4 days before my period, sometimes earlier."
