"I love Implanon. I was very scared about the potential side effects that I was informed of by my doctor. I had Implanon inserted a year ago and the only side effect I have experienced is acne. I never (even as a teenager) had acne, only the occasional pimple every few months, however with Implanon I%u2019m always breaking out. It is such a convenient form of birth control that I can live with the acne."


"Had my first attack of Shingles at the age of 25 and had no clue what it was so by the time I visited a physican, it was to late in the stage to take anything for it. I am now 44yrs. old and have had constant, localized pain and spider crawling feeling in the gall bladder area. Everything with me physically checked out fine. Prescribed the medication for the persistent pain/depression/anxiety, etc. Only take 10mg. at night, the pain and spider crawling has stopped but still experience the ears ringing."


"Increased my anxiety, gave me upper back pains, terrible nausea, and chills. I do not recommend this if you are sensitive to medication! I took it just in case for a mild UTI and definitely should have stuck with homeopathic methods."


"Diagnosed 2008 CD4: 4, viral load 50k, pneumonia, TB (liver): hospitalised for two weeks and slowly recovered. Brilliant, calm, methodical physician saved my life. Bloods dropped within 2 weeks to undetectable, CD 4 permanently hovering under 200. Permanent prophylaxis Purbac DS. But in 5 years not even a cold, no diarrhoea, no more headaches. The greatest, most wonderful gift of life after the most terrible, frightening decline into the bleak realization I was full blown. I am stronger now in my mid-50's than I have been for the last 15 years. No side effects. My dreams were always kind of crazy. Now they just seem better scripted. GET TESTED EARLY. GET THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BACK."


"This medication was sold hard to me by the pain specialist. Overall he was selling candy. I have been on opioids for 10 years and this medication is a joke. It has not helped with any form of pain relief."


"I finally got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and since then I have been on a couple of trial and error medications. Lyrica remains the best so far, on leveling out my balance for pain, and all the other negative quirks that come with Fibromyalgia. I tried VENLAFAXINE (Effexor) it knocked me out like a horse tranquilizer. Never again! That's when my psych decided to try me on Cymbalta. I still take my other meds: Omeprazole, Adderal, Lyrica. [switched from Zoloft-->Cymbalta]. I was to gradually increase my Cymbalta after the course of a week or so, but later spoke to my Doc and he stated my side effects were do to the increase being too fast. He suggested for me to remain at one pill for at least a month, and then speak to my psych about it. perfect!"


"I have been using Ortho Tri Cyclen for about six months, and there has been a noticeable decrease in the amount of acne, particularly on my forehead and cheeks. There are still small, mostly unnoticeable bumps around my mouth and chin, but these are gradually decreasing as well (just taking a little longer). The one negative thing that I noticed was that previously, my acne would heal quickly without leaving a scar. Now it heals at the same rate but does leave red/pink scarring on my cheeks. I believe it will go away because it has been fading, but it will likely take a while. As far as my cycle is concerned, my periods have been very regular (something that is unusual for me) and light. I have not had any issues with mood swings."


"Used Symbicort for a few years and was very pleased with it but  then I tried the Breo Ellipta. I thought Symbicort was very good but the Breo was out standing. I felt like I did 20 years ago before all of this started. I could mow the yard and function without any moments of shortness of breath - it is a really great treatment. The Tudorza Pressair (aclidinium bromide) just doesn't work. I felt light headed a lot and had a difficult time concentrating - felt very tired with it, and it just isn't working. The Breo is so very expensive - wish there was a way to get it without deciding if you are going to buy food or your Breo medication."


"I was prescribed this birth control for heavy bleeding and painful menstrual cramps by my primary care doctor. I hated it! I bled for a whole month--not spotting but a full period for 1 month while on this pill. I was lethargic and had no energy. I was on the brand name medication (Generess Fe) years ago and loved it but the generic was awful. I took myself off of the pill because a month of bleeding was unbearable! I would never take this medicine again."


"I recently had a heart attack on top of my cancer and at the hospital they gave me this medicine to help control my pain. Before I had used it I was using oxycodone, but that had never truly worked to control my pain. Dilaudid, while also not fully relieving the pain, did a much greater job. Unfortunately they would not allow me to take it at home, so now I am suffering because I know what it feels like to have my pain managed and the oxycodone just isn't enough."


"I've been on Trinessa for almost 3 years because my period is out of whack, it's the only thing that works. My period comes every 4th week of the month. The first week I started taking it I felt like crap. I had almost every side effect but my doctor told me to keep taking it. It helped with my migraines and cleared up my skin. The only side effects I have now are bad cramps and back aches but other than that.. LOVE IT! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND."


"I started Adipex a year ago. Lost 50lbs in 3mos. Then got pregnant. Had him 2 months ago. And only gained 15lbs during and lost right away. But I still didn't reach my goal. So I'm on it again. I'm on day 4 and down 5lbs. I love this pill! Never exercised or dieted before but I'm going try this time."


"Was given this drug while in the hospital.  Had severe tonsilitus and could not eat, drink, speak or breathe.  A shot in the IV and then flushed with saline!  What a relief!!!  Worked instantly!  Even though it doesn't make you sick like morphine, I still vomited when I got home after a dose two hours earlier."


"After years of trying both stimulants & non-stimulants for my ADHD, Vyvanse has been a game changer. Its helped me to actually start LIVING life! Previously, I had the best results while on Adderrall, however the mid-afternoon "crash" left me irritable, moody, & feeling like my ADHD was, in a sense, magnified.Thank goodness Shire (developers of Adderrall) sat out to fix the negative side effects (or at least attempt to), but keep the positives.

For me, the dry mouth is way more intense than with other stimulants. I have also noticed a drastic decline in sex drive. I would not be able to afford Vyvanse (I don't have insurance) if it were not for the Shire Cares patient assist program."


"This birth control is by far the worst of any other I've taken. I have experienced severe mood swings and temperament, depression, bloating, AWFUL chest, back, and facial acne, and constant food cravings. I would never wish this drug on anybody. "


"I have struggled with my weight for many many years.  I've always told my husband that I feel like I do not have an "off" switch in my stomach or full signal from my brain - never truly having had a feeling of fullness.

Belviq has truly changed that for me.  No more food cravings (especially for carbs and sweets). I am eating healthy portions of food, and it takes far far less on my plate to feel satisfied.  Combined with some exercise  I go to the gym for cycling or treadmill when my schedule allows it, or I walk my dogs, I am seeing results.  I've been on Belviq for a month and a half and am down 16 pounds.  I'd like to lose approximatly 50 more.  For the first time in my life I feel like a "normal" eater."


"Omg...I'm so glad I read these reviews. Started to breakout immediately after the first week. White pimples and cystic ones on my chin and around my nostrils. I'm so embarrassed never had acne problems my face even hurts from the breakouts. Yesterday was my last day of taking it."


"I did a lot of research. Amlodipine seems to be the best migraine preventative for those of us with stubborn nearly daily migraines that don't seem to respond to the typical medications, at least in the long term. I was on two other preventatives for years: Inderal and Amitriptyline. I am now weaning off of both these other medications. I was getting about one headache a week for the first couple weeks at 10 mg, now I think it's been two weeks since my last one. No side effects for me. It's a miracle. Verapamil seems to have the same effect, but requires very high doses up to 720 mg/day.

You MUST try this medication if you have tried the others without lasting effects."


"Prevents pregnancy but definitely not worth the side effects. It will cause mood swings a week into getting it. Please, for the sake of your own health do not get this shot."


"I was on Sprintec for 4 years. For the first 2 years I had no problems, but then I got sick and I think my body changed after that. I became irritable/depressed, no libido at all, and my face began to break out when I've never had skin problems. I am starting to believe that the pill is making me feel this way. As far as preventing pregnancy it's great, I've missed a day or 2 and have never had any problems. I am switching and hoping that helps"


"This works great when they listen to you and give you enough. "


"I've been taking this for about 2 months now. No pregnancy. But, my acne is absolutely awful...in turn I feel awful. I feel like my immune system isn't as great as it used to be and I feel tired all the time. I really hope what everyone else is saying is true! I'm giving it another couple months and if I don't see any changes I'm making a switch."


"Within 24 hours of taking these tablets all the pain had gone away and I felt much better.  Gave me an upset tummy but more than worth it.  Avoid taking on an empty stomach,  I felt sick for a short while after taking them on day 1 when I didnt feel well enough to eat"


"This medication works great for anxiety if taken the correct way."


"I had Implanon put in a little over a year ago and I'd say I've had all the symptoms, but I have to say the worst one is that I've become crazy. I've been so stressed, depressed, and IRRITATED. It's so bad that my boyfriend almost left me because of it (well no more reason to have it) I'm going to get it removed ASAP."


"I've gone through Zyrtec, Claritin, Xyzal, and Allegra has been the most consistent for me. Doesn't cause any drowsiness either, although I do take it at night."


"Had first series a year ago, no pain or swelling after injections. My knees are bone on bone and doctor wanted to do knee replacement, too much arthritis and due to age they did not want to do arthoscopic surgery.  I refuse steroid injections as they only mask the problelm.  I am very sensitive to medications so I was very worried about a reaction from Euflexxa but had none.  Pain was gone after 2nd shot and has lasted a year.  Just had next series in left knee and am having right knee done starting next week.  The only other option is knee replacement and after what happened to my husband, will only do it if the pain becomes unbearable. Totally satisfied with euflexxa"


"I'm 23 and I never had acne in high school until I stopped taking my birth control due to health conditions. I started back on it and acne came on with a vengeance. No matter what I did if I was on or off BC the acne never stopped flaring up. Some days were good and my face & back clear but I was tired of battling not looking in the mirror and being happy. I tried minocycline. I'm not going to say it didn't work because it HELPED. Acne still horrible. First month, some dryness, second month more dry, nosebleeds and cystic acne popped up. I'm finishing my 3rd month and more of my friends say my face is looking AMAZING. Can't wait to finish treatment. Patience is key for this medication for sure!!"


"I was tired all the time.I have been to Iraq and back and the way I felt was just the way I thought I should feel. I was lazy sometimes. Would put things off. Irrated, get upset quickly. For years and years I just thought that was me. Major drinker...smoker... Couldn't ever get enough sleep. No motivation to get out of bed. Again I thought that was me...I started to have anxiety after my wife's had a miscarriage. Then we got pregnant again then things really started to get out of control. Wellbutrin saved me. I QUIT DRINKING AND SMOKING! Motivated, love being a dad! Work is great! Slight sexual side effects. "


"Worst pill ever after two months. Then experienced depression and would literally feel sad FOR NO REASON. I’m not even an emotional person. Then the weight gain which I didn’t mind. I would have no sex drive and literally be so aggravated for no reason it’s killing my relationship. Got on a different brand with a lower dosage but decided to just use condoms cause because and the side effects aren’t working for me. I would become so distant from people as well as I hate being touched. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!"


"I was prescribed Nitrofurantoin 3 separate times for UTI's. The first time it cleared up the infection immediately. The 2nd time I accidentally left the last two pills behind at a place we stayed so I wasn't able to complete the prescription. The 3rd time it cleared up the infection after two days.

Each time I was prescribed 100 mg. 2 tablets a day for 7 days. The only side effect I had was it made me a little more tired than usual. The relief it brought was amazing and very soon. I would ask for it again as the Sulfa was resistant to the bacteria I had. Also, I didn't have any other side effects besides slight drowsiness."


"I got the IUD inserted today. No prior children. I did my research on possible complications and pain level during placement, and decided it was the best option for me. A five minute procedure ended up taking up close to an hour, due to a very small cervical opening. Because of this, it was incredibly painful. They had to dilate my cervix. Beyond that, I will not go into details, because it will only scare people away, and I really have zero discomfort now. There is some very light spotting, and barely noticeable cramping. I also feel slightly dizzy, due to the small amount of epidural they had to inject into my cervix. I don't usually take any kind of medicine, so this is to be expected."


"I have a number of bowel related issues: hemorrhoids, constipation, and constipation made even worse with Wellbutrin (antidepressant.) Sometimes I don't go for 5-7 days and I start to worry I have impacted bowels. I also recently started dieting and I go naturally every 7 days.

When I start to worry about not having a movement in awhile and the poop getting stuck or impacted, I take one of these babies before I sleep. In the morning I need to go!! I agree with others though that it can cause diarrhea like poop. It seems my poop starts normal at first, but then it turns to diarrhea. I think after the pill is done working with the first round, the effects are still there when there isn't food to work with, and it causes diarrhea."


"I had sinusitis since I was in high school. My doctor prescribed me this, it took 2 weeks before it works. This medicine was great!"


"My 4 year old son was on this for a year.  It worked wonders for his asthma but made him a very violent and aggressive child.  We didn't notice the changes in his behavior until he had been on it for over 6 months.  His fits of rage became more and more frequent.  We finally decided that we would take him off to see if the Singulair was the cause.  We noticed changes in him the first day he was off of it.  He is back to being my sweet and loving child with no rage and no violence.  It is a great drug for those that don't have this side effect."


"This stuff is like magic. I have never been as happy or self actualized as I am now. I can do things I could never do before. No side effects that matter."


"Unfortunately I am experiencing most of the bad side effects. I've had Implanon in for about 8 months and I have been bleeding non-stop. I have no sex drive whatsoever and have gained 30lbs. I made an appointment to get it removed because I can't take this bleeding and weight gain. I'm depressed and have bad anxiety. Only good thing is that I haven't gotten pregnant. This birth control just isn't for me."


"I got the Nexplanon implant back in July 2016 due to forgetting to take the pill. Had a light period for about 2 weeks, but nothing since. Experienced loss of appetite for a few days, lower sex drive but normal now, and minor mood swings. I've actually lost 15 pounds and my acne has cleared up decently. I still have sensativity around insert area, but I have sensative skin in general. Really enjoy not having to remember those pills!"


"It is now day four on 60mg and I feel terrible. I am agitated, anxious, extremely bad hot flushes, tremors, nausea, dont want to see food. Will this pass and then start to get effective? As I'm feeling now I would rather just stop using it."


"Unfortunately my experiences have not been good. It has reduced the seizures but, I get  bad side effects - dizziness, lightheadedness, headaches, nausea and poor coordination."


"I've been on this birthcontrol for 3 weeks and I feel sick all the time and nausea after I eat. I have had spotting for 2 weeks nonstop and I have not felt like myself since taking this. I also was very bloated the second week after taking Estarylla. I've been very anxious and feel fatigued and have no appetite at all. Do not take this birth control I'm not sure how good it works with preventing pregnancy but it's definitely not worth all the side effects that come with it."


"I started with 50 mg once, then twice per day, increased to 200mg per day, and it did NOTHING but makes me have chills on my scalp AND even though it is summertime, I am sweating really badly. Other than sweating I hadn't noticed it working at all, as I still have been snapping at my daughter.. So my doctor upped my dosage to 450 per day. Hot and sweaty as ever, but it comes and goes.... been on Wellbutrin since mid June 2011, and just maybe.... just maybe, it helped me last week when I should have been totally devastated over my boyfriends drama. I remember not having nervous pangs in my stomach, sort of bold, but not superwoman-like. I still just lay in bed a lot, not motivated, and I think my weight is going up! But I am on the highest dose. "


"The side effects were fairly intense for the first month, primarily depression "attacks" and dehydration, but they stopped almost on cue at the end of the month.  I was amazed how quickly it started working.  I lost 8-12 pounds per month for the first 6 months, then it slowed to 3-5 pounds per month for a few months.  When it slowed to about 2 pounds, I decided to go off it for awhile and allow my body to re-set.  I started again 6 months later, but it no longer had any effect.  My total weight loss on Qsymia was about 70 pounds.  I would highly recommend it, as it was so effective for the first months, and allowed me to eat a healthy diet without the usual physical and mental struggles.  But very expensive.  Coupon very helpful."


"I've been using lexapro for about 4 weeks now. The doctor started me out on 5mg and then after 3 weeks rose it to 10mg. She wanted to make sure I wasn't having any negative side effects. My anxiety was something that was constant. I would have panic attack and on occasion I would purge my food from the anxiety. Today I don't feel the constant anxiety, haven't had a panic attack, and haven't had the urge to purge. I never thought I would wake up everyday and feel as happy and ready to take on the day as I do. I completely recommend this medication and you really do have to take it for a few weeks to notice change. I get it's not for everyone but it worked for me and I'm forever grateful to be here alive and thrivin'!"


"I used to take Vicodin 500 for severe menstrual cramps, this was in the the early 90's. I just used it for menstrual pain. I had a breast augment in 2001 and received enough Percocet to heal and my Dr. addressed using it as directed. I was suffering neck and shoulder pain already and never considered using opiates. It became so chronic and severe that by 2010 I couldn't work and by 2011 I was on 5mg oxycodone. Now in 2013 I use 20 mg Oxycontin 2x a day with 5 mg oxycodone for breakthrough pain. It has allowed me to exercise, go outside and drive, shop again, see my friends and family. It is no substitute for treatment. I am a candidate for spine surgery, I will attempt this at 37. I will see with proper therapeutic options and surgery how I can taper."


"I'm wondering if I could use a female period pad to catch the oil leakage at times"


"I've had this thing in my arm for a year and 4 months.. I bleed 3 weeks at a time, I may go a whole week without bleeding before I start up again. I am very hormonal and difficult to be around. I have always been fun and out going, I have turned into crab since I've been on this birthcontrol. Last week I started passing clots and bleeding extra heavy, the cramps were out of this world. I literally could not move. I called my doctor to hear this is completely normal, and yes... after a year!! I told her I wanted it removed and now I have to be counselled on the matter. I DO NOT recommend this to anyone..."


"I was on Gildess (loved it, gained 10lbs, light periods, no acne) for 5 years until all of a sudden the pharmacy changed it to microgestin. I just moved to Florida for school so I just assumed they didn't have the Gildess. I ended up gaining another 10 lbs but I blame that on my anxiety meds I started. I got off my anxiety meds & lost 15 lbs (no exercising). I came back home for the following semester because I was sick & the pharmacy put me on Blisovi (Jan). It is now the first week of March and I've gained 20 lbs since starting this new BC. This is w/o a change of diet. I eat very clean & only drink water. I also do the ACV 3 times a day. I'm getting off of it today. Nausea, mood swings... not worth it."


"I was on it for a few weeks and started to get leg cramps. I was on Apri before and will be switching back. The only thing that bothered me was the leg cramps, everything else seemed to be fine."


"I'm rating it a 5 for now because I took it 10 years ago with no problems. I started on 25mg then. This time they started me on 50 so maybe it is the dose. I took it last night and I have had one continuous panic attack. Tremors. Insomnia. Sick to my stomach. A hot sensation that comes over my body. I'm a mess. Waiting on Dr to call me, so if I decide to stay on it I will leave another review. 10 years ago when I took it, it just made me emotionless but I was also going through a lot. I lost a bunch of weight with it too. However, I had 0 side effects."


"As the Morphine was effective the more lasting effective was unexpected.  I lost 12 teeth.  A side affect?  I don't have any other explanation.  The health of my teeth was great before the 18 months of morphine.  I was finally referred to a back pain specialist.  I was to get off all medications to receive the injections.  Cold turkey was the same as described any heroin withdrawal. But I survived.  I am taking a strong anti inflammatory twice a day that seems to after 9 years keep the pain and the sciatica at bay.  I still have numbness in my toes but that is nerve damage from the inflammation.  I live with that.  My lack of upper teeth to chew my food is uncomfortable and embarrassing, no more smiles for me.  No money for replacements."


"My son is 14 and has tourettes and adhd. He was put on Intuitiv and it has helped with his focus and his tics. At first he was extremely tired, but after taking it for a bit that part is not as bad. The teacher noticed a big improvement. Luckily there have been no other side effects. We started at 1mg and are now on 3 mg. It is my sons choice whether he wants to be on meds or not. He had chose to go off for a bit in the summer and then once back in school he wasn't doing so great so he chose to go back on it. It really helps with the tics."


"I took a pill this morning with some tea, and while I was eating breakfast I noticed my heart rate sky rocket, I don't know if this happened because I took fastin on an empty stomach or what, but this is a little scary! It literally feels like my heart is going to jump out of my chest! At first I didn't think I could be reacting to this drug so quick but apparently it's a very quick release type of pill. I can say that I'm not hungry and didn't finish my breakfast but at what cost?!  Maybe I should try taking a quarter of the tablet, but I think I'm a little to scared and will probably throw the bottle away.. what a waste of $40 oh well better 40 bucks lost than a heart attack. Also I bought these over the counter at a Rite Aid."


"This pill is like a magic. I just noticed that the pill works in minutes for me and I feel a bit dizziness and like a burning head and then the pain is gone. Today I got a early migraine and I was able to use the MLT and work kind of slowly but it stopped the pain in time. But I still feel very sensitive to light. Great medication ask your doctor for Maxalt or Maxalt-MLT."


"So, I am only within my first month and this is SCARY. I have always had bad acne, but within this first month it has made it worse. The kind of cystic acne I get now, I cannot get rid of as soon as I used to be able to. Most pimples would go away for about a week and these have lasted for a month almost. I am also starting to take tretinoin and doxycycline in addition to the birth control because I feel so hopeless. Please, someone tell me this is supposed to happen? You know? Worse before better?

Thanks."


"Great for treating allergy symptoms & nasal congestion that other medication did not helped. However had adverse reaction to the medication after a few days of taking it and was told to stop by my doctor; now back to having to suffer with allergies again."


"Do NOT take this medication. I am 22 years old and have been on the pill since 16. I was having intense menstrual bleeding so my doctor prescribed me a higher dose and ended up giving me this brand. It did not help my cramps what so ever and it made me very emotional. I lost all of my sex drive and became very dry down there. The most scary part is yet to come...  A month and a half into it I became EXTREMELY dizzy and light headed. I decided to finish up the month then get off of it. However 2 weeks off of it and I am still extremely dizzy and lightheaded. I have gotten every blood test and nothing comes up. I have seen that several other women experienced pulmonary embolism in the lungs and will be getting this checked out. DO NOT USE!"


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


"Hi..i and my gf had unprotected sex on 14 days after her period  and then she took pill (ecp) after 6 hours of Intercourse.after four days of having the pill she started bleeding for continued for 4days. Then she did not suffer any bleeding .now in October her date for period for 1st October but they did not came .. we were scared.. she did four home urine pregnancy test but all came NEGATIVE she even did blood test. That to came NEGATIVE but on 23october , finally she got her periods with really bad cramps but we were happy....  It was the first time when she was soo happy seeing her periods...

So everyone don't worry. the  pill  will do its job .. and if taken with 12 hours then it is more effective... So don't worry.."


"Effective for my use for autoimmune/inflammatory/arthritis issues however blood pressure rise is trade-off! Feldene also very effective but for obvious reasons not agreeable."


"I'm on an iv of clindamycin as I type this. I've had merca now 3 times from Wrestling and Cage fighting.  I give this drug a 10 with no really noticeable side effects. Kills the Merca like no other!"


"Relpax is the ONLY migraine med that works for me. It relieves my migraines in about a half hour. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it.

Side effects: tiredness, mild nausea, frequent urination, runny nose, head fogginess."


"I'm a male in my mid 30's. Had hives for 3-6 month stretches with 3-6 month breaks since I was 15 years old. Symptoms were as bad as most people on here, but never needed a hospital visit.

Got on Xolair shortly after it was approved by the FDA, around 2-1/2 years ago. Hives were gone within 24 hours and usually the only hive I see is if I'm over-extending my time between shots. Started at 2 shots per visit (300 mg total) every 4 weeks. Now taking 300mg every 6 weeks. Works like a charm. Wish they could get the cost down. Even with insurance and assistance programs I still end up paying a large amount out of pocket.

All in all a VERY effective medication that I wish had been available years ago!"


"Within hours of taking TAMIFLU I was hospitalized because I could not breathe from throwing up so much, my nose was stopped up from the flu and throwing up blocked my air way. Honestly paying this much money for a medication that made my life worse was not worth it. I would never recommend this medication to anyone. Yes the flu is terrible but with this it was worse. At one point while vommiting my eyes were so glazed over and I almost passed out because I was so weak. My husband was terrified for me and I honestly felt like I was having an out of body expietence. WORSE MISTAKE EVER."


"It doesn't seem to be working for me. This is the 5th week. I need my rescue inhaler 4 times a day."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I am having my colonoscopy tomorrow. This will be my 3rd one and I can honestly say this prep was far more tolerant than the ones I've prepped with in the past! I'm GRATEFUL for the comments I was able to read because the lemons truly helped me. I drank the first 16 ounces in 15 minutes. It wasn't as bad as I was dreading. I used a straw and after each drink I sucked the juice out of the lemon. I drank about 21 ounces of water afterwards. The lemon took the taste away a great deal. I started going to the bathroom about an hour and a half later. I drank the second 16 ounces 4 hours later. My bowel started off green, now it's just clear. The taste was of grape salty sweet koolaid."


"Well I've been on this birth control for a while now, probably close to a year now and for the past 2 months I've been on a full period. No other side effects though really."


"I started using Chantix September 2014. I'm was getting close to my 50th birthday and I really wanted to stop and it helped me to do it."


"I had got the Implanon back in 2008 until 2011. I loved it. Didn't get a period for a whole year. I would spot occasionally and maybe where a panty liner. When I did get a period it didn't last long, about 3-4 days not heavy. After I removed it I got pregnant 5 months after. Got the Nexplanon after my 2nd. I've had it for a year. Don't get much of a period but I get bloated and heavy cramps when I'm supposed to be on it. I've gained like 20lbs as well.  And my hormones are all over the place.  My first experience wasn't this bad. My self confidence has gone down so much, as I get bloated. I'm so tired and don't want to do anything and laying on my belly hurts."


"I absolutely love this patch! Thank you for putting it back on the shelves! I am only 45, and had trouble since my hysterectomy several years ago. In fact I was wearing a diaper to bed,not too sexy I admit! These patches are awesome and have given me back my life! They do get less sticky in the shower but I just face my body the other way, the stickies come off with no problem with goo gone or baby oil. Well worth it!"


"I had Supartz shots two years ago with great success.  I just had two of three of Orthovisc and so far my knees feel great. I hope Orthvisc lasts as long as Supartz.  I would highly recommend both products"


"Went my doctor in tears diarrhea was so bad, it was up to 30 or more times a day. Stomach pain, everything I ate made me sick. My doctor gave me the FODMAP diet to follow and to go gluten free he also prescribed Viberzi. I took the first tablet that evening (100mg) twice a day. In less than 24 hours my diarrhea had stopped and the pain was gone. I feel strictly following the FODMAP diet along with  Viberzi did the trick. Been taking Viberzi for a month and a half. I had one bout of severe diarrhea when I ate a biscuit and boy did I feel the pain. It took 24 hours for it to stop. I'm one of those people who just can't eat gluten. "


"I tolerated the medication very well.  It actually was kind of pleasant.  However, based on my experience, I would not recommend it.  It made me lethargic and seemed to increase my appetite.  Sure I was comfortable, but it was supposed suppress the appetite, thus lose weight.
However,  It did reduce the desire to drink a beer or two.  It was very good at that!"


"I had a generic vagifem that worked fine but I'm not sure of the manufacturer. Last refill I was switched to one manufactured by Teva. What a waste. I insert the applicator but the pill does not release. It's like throwing money away."


"I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease when I was 16 years old.  I am now 47.  Remicade has been a blessing.  I am one of the very fortunate ones to have no real side effects.  I have been on Remicade for at least 6 years.  I am able to hold down an excellent job and enjoy being a wife and mother.  I am grateful that I have a job with great benefits.  I wish that the cost was not so outrageous so that others could benefit from this medicine.  My son is on Humira and they have a program that decreases the cost significantly.  Even with my insurance, they cover a large portion of my co-pay.  All we can do is hope that the makers of Remicade will offer the same some day."


"Hi,

I have had hep c for at least 25 years would not take the old treatment. Now I'm taking Solaldi /Daklinza my Geno type is 2 A and 2 C - my viral load was

28 million when I started meds ,after 4 weeks viral load was undetced.

Just finished my 6th week today. I'm going thru the County Hospital in Dallas,Tx Had no problems getting my meds as Medicare just approved  them. So keep trying to find help.

I have had very few side affects mild headache for ten minutes not even enough to take a Tyanol the 1st few days. I did itch at the start took allergy med a few days and every so often. I feel better taking the hep c meds my brain fog is better and I sleep like a baby! I take my meds at 7pm on time every night & have to go to bed by 9 pm"


"I've been having problems with going to sleep at night for awhile now and saw unisom advertised on a commercial so I decided to try something for the first time ... I would say it kicked in about a hour after taking it - I still went to bed late just not as late as usual ... I slept the whole night through but in the mornings I would be more tired and still in bed until a little after 1 pm ... Not a morning person but I hate getting up that late after 11 is too late for me but I still be in bed tired - So that's my only problem!"


"I highly highly highly recommend using this medicine in treating and managing your IBS symptoms. I've been on it less than a month and with a combination of the medicine and a diet (staying away from fatty foods, fried foods, soda, chocolate and eating lots of fruit) I have found relief I thought I'd never find. I'm 18 years old and I've had my fair share of history in battling these symptoms, it was rough but with this medicine, it became a lot easier."


"I felt pretty bad for the first couple days. What really helped me was eating a full meal before each dose. On the dose that you take before bed I ate a banana, dry toast and kefir probiotics drink. This really helped me not to feel nauseous in the morning. I also took a probiotics tablet in the morning.  I drank a lot of water and chewed gum for the metallic taste.  If you stick with it the medicine will work. My doctor had me continue on the probiotics after finishing these medicines."


"I have had nexplanon for 6 months now. I love the fact that I'm not pregnant, but that is literally the only good thing about it. I am tired even if I sleep all night and half the day, I have ZERO sex drive and the majority of the time I'm in a bad mood. I have also gained 15 lbs...I have always been slender..and now I have worn sweat pants for the past 6 months because none of my clothes fit. I've considered getting it removed, but with 2 children already I'm hesitant to do so. Hopefully my husband won't divorce me in the mean time. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't want a period, but doesn't mind spotting the majority of the time."


"Have been given Propofol for a EGD and a Endoscopic Ultrasound.  When I had the EGD I woke up and about an hour later started with sneezing fits like I had a very bad cold and watery, burning eyes.  Lasted all day and most of the night and was a little better by morning.  Thought I just had got a cold.  Yesterday I had the EUS and the same thing happened, so now I know it has to be from the Propofol. Still sneezing this morning and a bit congested.  Other then that, propofol worked very well."


"Therapeutic but dulling"


"This is my first week on the pill. I had to start on them because of my irregular periods and I'm getting married in a month so me and my fiancee want to enjoy at least our first 2 years without kids. Anyways so far I've been feeling moody (but like PMDD) my abnormal bleeding has stopped, and in just one week my face looks awesome. I'm definitely going to keep taking them. I'm happy for everyone who has a success on the pill."


"Exceptional."


"Very, very cost prohibitive and didn't provide relief at all."


"I have a vast array of psych problems from ADD to OCD to suicidal ideation.  Adderall was the first wonder pill for me. It made every other medicine I was taking more tolerable and more effective. It caused my mind to stop racing so bad.  Adderall changed my life."


"It gave me hives that took me well over 4 months to get rid of once I quit taking it.  The hives were so painful."


"LOVE IT. Best thing I EVER did for myself. I have the freedom to be free and no more FEAR! I have never had children and it gives me light manageable periods, no more cramps, and I lost weight. I was 21 when I had it put in and I am 23 now, 2 blissful years of birth control.  I have to recommend it!"


"I had implanon put in Oct 2013. At that time I was 22 and 135 lbs. I have no children and have never been pregnant. My intentions were to keep it that way- I took the pill since I was 17 but wanted to find something that would maintain my busy lifestyle. this birth control has been a fabulous preventative but  I have had major side affects:

Now 2 years later:
-extremely moody/ anxious
- 4 months after implanted I was at my highest weight of 164 lbs
-currently weigh 155 lbs and it has been the biggest challenge to loose weight.
-long and drawn out periods for the whole time on bc
Would not recommend"


"What a savior!  After enduring 6 months on Privigen (low trough level after).  Switched to Hizentra, more side effects and infections like I was on nothing, except the side effects were unbearable!  I'm on my second month of Cuvitru and had no idea that you could feel so well after an subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) replacement.   I have energy, my sinus infection is FINALLY getting better, almost zero side effects.  I love Cuvitru and it has changed my life!"


"As you may know, migraines are extremely debilitating even when trying to perform most menial tasks let alone professional responsibilities. I tried Maxalt for the first time today approximately 20 minutes after my first aura and it actually works. I am happily surprised! I have yet to experience any side effects. However, lets be honest, I'd be tolerant of almost anything besides a migraine - which feels like a freight train chugging through my head."


"Was on Simvastatin for approximately 8 weeks for high cholesterol.  Experienced extreme muscle weakness in arms and legs, along with severe muscle spasms at night.  Also began to have increased depression (have been on Paxil for 10 years), confusion, memory problems, and unexplainable irritability, anger, and paranoia.  After 7 days without the Simvastatin, most of these complaints have subsided, although still having muscle pain and slight spasms at night."


"Only downside - the dry mouth but I drink 8-10 glasses of water now."


"Diagnosed with influenza recently, my dr prescribed Tamiflu..believe me, this was feeling like you had been " hit by a Mack truck " flu, have never felt so ill with so much body pain everywhere..slept virtually all day for 3 days straight, then the Tamiflu kicked in.  Seriously, with zero side effects!  Now day 4 and I'm off the pain killers and actually feeling quite good. Still going to finish off the prescribed dosage  of tablets, but have to say the results are amazing.  Yesterday I wouldn't have had the strength to write this..amazing."


"Works well for sleep. However, I'm prescribed it for Nocturnal panic attacks (panic that wakes me up) & it definitely does the trick. I gave it 9/10 bc I will actually end up having an attack shortly after it kicks in. Usually lasts 5-10 mins before I fall asleep."


"Definitely works but I am very young to have this illness and the headaches and fatigue is killing me. Not sure if I want to try something new though. It helped about 90% "most" of the time, just wondering if there is anything to make me 100% again."


"Can't lose weight on Levoxyl. I sweat profusely, have brain fog, fatigue and so many symptoms of hypo. "


"I have bipolar and was put on 750mg of Depokote and 5mg of olanzapine, I later started suffering from depression so my psychiatrist put me on fluoxetine. All I can say is this medicine saved my life, I cannot believe the difference, I am a much happier person. I tried taking fluoxetine without olanzapine and couldn't sleep so went back on olanzipine at a low dose."


"I have been on the milk ever since it came out. It was a blessing for me because I am a milk drinker. I took the pills before the chewable but when the they came out I was thrilled at how fast they worked and they are good tasting so what could be better?? Not a thing. Thank you and to who ever came up with the chewables. I would like the coupons. "


"I work nights and sleep during the day going on 9 yrs and have never been able to get comfortable trying to sleep during the day.  I averaged 4 maybe 5hrs of broken sleep, felt exhausted all the time.  Doctor started me on Ambien it worked but I would wake up and still feel the effects, So Doctor changed me to 30mg Restoril. What a God send!  It only takes about 20-30min to work for me, I sleep for 6-8 hrs and wake up feeling refreshed and without any "hungover" feeling. If you're having troubles sleeping it's worth a shot. I never thought I would be able to sleep normal again, been sleeping good for 2yrs now."


"Depression ever since I can remember.  Had 15 good years on Prozac, but it stopped working.  Have been trying all kinds of antidepressants & in December I was put on Lamictal.  Worked up to 100 mg, stayed on for awhile, not much happening - thought it was just another med that wasn't going to work.  My doc said the "therapeutic" dose so am slowly titrating up to 200 mg - currently at 175/day.  Just yesterday I think I started feeling the miracle of Lamictal kicking in!  Yesterday and today I have felt better than I have felt in soooooo long - don't stop before the miracle happens (unless you have bad side effects, like the rash, which thankfully I do not have).  I want to shout my gratefulness from the rooftops!!"


"Went on holiday early November and came back with full blown acne on my forehead and cheeks . Tried literally everything and anything I could find and nothing worked. The GP then prescribed epiduo and I was really sceptical as I read reviews of people getting worse before better and all that. I used it twice a day beginning from a Wednesday and by Sunday, I began to see results. By Monday I couldn't believe it, 90% of my spots had gone but the only thing was that I used too much which burned my skin a bit but this is healing. I've been on epiduo exactly 8 days and my acne is gone. Yes I said it gone !!! I was told to give this product 3 months minimum and it's done the job in a week. I highly recommend you try epiduo!!"


"I began on Amitriptyline about three years ago I think? Started at 25 mgs with the option of increasing to 50 mgs for bladder Interstitial Cystitis. Because of weight gain I stayed mostly at 25 mgs nightly rather than increase the dose. But recently I have increased my dose back up to 50mgs. It is helping with the pelvic and bladder pain associated with Interstitial Cystitis at about 65 percent. It is not though helping with the frequency of urination around the clock as for so many years. But the relief with my abdominal and bladder discomfort is improving at present. For me that is a God send. My other medical and health challenges I am plugging away at. "


"Although it helps with my RSD pain, it still has adverse side effects such as weight gain and large doses seem to affect the gastric system."

"I've been taking this birth control for about 7 months now. When I first started I noticed that my sex drive dropped A LOT. Every now and then I get emotional/angry over little things. This pill didn't make me gain/lose weight and it cleared my skin up but every now and then I'd get a pimple before my period. the periods lasted 4-5days no change in that. BUT the most upsetting thing was my hair got thinner! Maybe to others it's probably not a big deal but if you love your hair as much as I do, it's a problem. Believe me I never wanna be bald. After I finish my current pack I'm getting off this pill for good."


"HELLO FELLOW SWEATERS! I was the worst sweater ever. Everyday, regardless of what I was wearing, I had huge armpit stains and I mean huge. Like a good 5 inches in diameter. And it didn't matter what material I was wearing or what color, it was noticeable! I would also sweat through huge hooded sweatshirts. I have no idea how that is even possible.
When I came on this website I read everyone's reveiws and thought..."there's no way anyone on here sweats as much as I do. Its not gonna work for me" but, I was wrong! The first couple nights I applied it, it stung a lot and itched too, but I toughed it out because at that point I didn't care. And the next day.. TA DAA! No sweat. Not even a drop..it was amazing! Goodluck."


"I am 49 years old, my mother is in hospital with 2 knee replacement and I have noticed over the years I too have pain in my knees after years of then cracking as I walked upstairs. Then the pain got worse so I went to the doc and he told me to try Celebrex 300 mg a day and let me tell you so far no side effects and I am happy again. The wife says I am acting strange, she's never seen me so happy but its not for all. For me I wish I would have done this a lot sooner. "


"I took both Avastin and Tarceva in my 2nd clinical trial. I believe the Tarceva was the cause of Crohn's like side effects.The Avastin seemed not as bad with side effects. Presently using Votrient and approaching a five year longevity mark when my statistical would have been 8-10 months."


"I've had this method of birth control for a year and I can't believe what a horrible experience I've had this year has been one of the worse in my whole life. My anxiety, depression, and mood swings are out of control and I don't feel like myself anymore. Thank god I am having this thing removed tomorrow I can't take it anymore it's ruining my life and I can't live this way anymore. I DO NOT RECOMMEND"


"I don't think this drug deserves such a low rating. Most people don't realize this isn't a benzo; it will NOT make you drowsy or "loopy." That can lead to frustration and tossing/turning in bed waiting to feel that effect. Instead it is more like a light switch. One minute you're laying in bed, before you know it you're WIDE awake the next morning. I used to fight to wake up at noon after sleeping for 9+ hours. Now I wake up on my own after 6-7hrs and feel more alert and ready to get up than ever. No nightmares, no hangover, this drug has tremendously improved my quality of life. If your doc recommends it, just TRY it and go from there. And remember people are more apt to leave reviews if they've had a bad experience rather than a good one."


"I have used both the ovule yeast infection monistat and the cream filled ointment. When I used the ovule I didn't have pain, just EXTREME itching. It kept me up hours until I was so exhausted that I just fell asleep. I used medicine for BV (5 nightly tubes of medicine in that area) and most of the reviews said it gave them a yeast infection. Well, it gave me one. I am so prone to vaginal infections, can anyone help me? Anyway, went to Safeway and grabbed monistat 1 and when I got home, I opened it and was like what is this!?!? While I was inserting the cream, I had a very bad feeling. I laid in bed and FaceTime my boyfriend, waiting for the pain and itchiness. It never came. I had zero issues with this medicine. Hope it works though!"


"I'm on vivitrol and I have no side effects and I'm doing fabulous I have no desire to use I was an IV user for 13 years and vivitrol saving my life"


"Suffered most of the side effects."


"Benadryl made my 16yr old so sleepy that he had to be sent home from school but it did take away his hives."


"I was experiencing severe hot flashes and uncontrolled emotions, crying, angry, and very tired from lack of sleep.  I consulted with my doctor and she put me on paxil.  I was confused as I am a quiet and always a hard worker with no real problems with depression.  Doctor explained that it helps with hot flashes.  I am on 10 mg a day that I take a bedtime.  I get very tired, yawn all the time, still not sleeping the best, I clinch my teeth together all the time so they are sore, food is not appealing so I barely eat, I do not want to talk to anyone, do not want to work either, no energy and no sex drive.  I am told that I will get more adjusted to it and things will right themselves.  It has only been 1 1/2 months I will give it a few more."


"I have been on Trileptal for a month now, combined with a small amount of Zoloft, I feel wonderful.  I have taken other mood stabilizers in the past, and this by far is the best one for me.  I am a lot calmer (not a zombie)."


"I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor prescribed Metformin. He had me start with 500mg/day until I feel good enough to increase the dose. The first couple days I was a little nervous so I was very careful not to eat carbs but so far I have had very minimal side effects. I have been taking it for 1 week now and yesterday I increased my dose to 500mg with breakfast and 500mg with dinner (I have the extended release). In the first 4 days I lost 5lbs just because it really helped me feel less bloated and it took away my appetite. I used to think about food 24/7 and constantly crave sweets but I no longer have that issue. So far I feel great on it and I will see how 1500mg/day goes."


"I'm having a very severe nasal congestion from a cold. My normal DayQuil/NyQuil were not helping at all. Tried Sudafed, also did not help. Went to chemist in search of powerful medication and got the highest dosage of Mucinex D at the pharmacist's recommendation. Was warned about possible insomnia so I took 1 pill at 5pm thinking it's still more than 5 hours to bed time and I should be fine. Well, the congestion was gone. But I was up for the next 28 hours straight. The congestion returned after about 15 hours which makes me think the medicines effect must have worn off and I can take a nap. But no. After being up for 28 hours I decided that if I'm not getting any rest I may never get over my cold so I took a sleeping pill."


"I have been using a combination of Flomax with Finesteride for a period of say 2 years. Actually this drug met my requirement, such as smooth urination and broad and fast streeming. If I forget to take this capsule in one night, in the morning all troubles relapse.

Disadventage is the side effects. I am having so many mild problems, such as postural hypotension, peeling inside hands and legs, mild migraine, intermittent constipation, but I don't know whether I can attribute all these complaints to the drug.

My serious problem is retrograde ejaculation. Fortunately there is no priapism. Second serious problem is meagre erection, so I seldom share bed with my wife. But masturbate once weekly, which does not require full erection."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I have Sleep Apnea and use CPAP but unfortunately the CPAP doesn't completely resolve the exhaustion.  I take 200mg Provigil once a day and it has given me my life back.  I was in danger of losing my job because the exhaustion caused me not to be able to focus or produce.  Once on the Provigil, my boss says he has been blown away by my performance.  No side effects whatsoever."


"Since 0 wasn't an option I had to select 1..This medication is a waste of time and money! I suffer from chronic pain syndrome, massive muscle contractions,  tumors in my spine, and severe overactive nerves which cause trigger points from my neck to my lower back. I am so beyond miserable because the pain is excruciating!  I was taking 10/325 of Percocet but my pain management doctor wanted to take me completely off of it due to risk of addiction so she switched me to Belbuca a month ago and I have no relief! It does not work! I cry and lay around all day because it hurts to move! I was started on 300mcg then 2 weeks later I was bumped up to 600mcg. I have not felt any pain relief yet. I do NOT recommend this to anyone!"


"I took 15 mg samples and had success right from the beginning. Fell asleep within 30 minutes and stayed asleep all night! Woke up feeling rested and refreshed!! My fit bit clocked the most deep sleep hours than I ever have without a sleep aid. I am one of those people that does not like taking any medication, so I will use this ONLY when I think I will not be able to unwind and sleep deeply. Exercise and hard work are the best ways to exhaust your body and sleep deeply, and I prefer that before drugs. On a scale on 1-10, my insomnia is about a 7. Belsomra absolutely works with my body chemistry at least for now."


"Cured perspiration problem.. No sweat equals  no odor.  After about 3 weeks of using I did get a red itchy rash and stopped using. As soon as rash healed I used it again. So I use 3 weeks then take a weeks break. It's worth it!"


"I started my first pack October 1st, two mn ago. Since then I've been on my period on & off the last six of the eight weeks. Spoting on the days I were suppose to get my period but living with full blown endo all eight weeks. This by far is the worse birth control I've ever taken. Side effect out this world. First it was the cramping, then the headaches, then chronic fatigue even after food. What made it strange is the horrible mood swings making a monster. (Literaly) My emotions were gone, all I felt was anger & numbness. I had no idea it was the birth control until my OB informed me yesterday that generic brands are made in other countries, made with god-knows-what. So today was put on a name brand birth control. We shall see!"


"Our son has ADHD and Aspergers and often lost his temper and was irritable. We started him on 0.25mg of Risperdal each morning for 2 weeks and he is happy and sleeps better. To see him smiling and happy is worth it."


"This was my first experience with birth control and I hate it. This pill made my periods even more irregular than they were prior to taking this pill. I've been on this pill for almost 9 months and not once has my period came on time. It is so stressful because I honestly never know when my period is going to come. I gained 4 pounds and I have crazy weird dreams overnight."


"I started my DEPO shot January 25 2017 which was 2 days after my period ended. My next period was due on the 15th. And I've been bleeding every since. Today makes 21 consecutive days I've been bleeding. It's making me dehydrated and I'm already anemic. I'm supposed to go back in April but they will not be seeing me. I really hope I don't bleed these whole 3 months. This stops me from being intimate with my partner. DO NOT GET THIS SHOT."


"Only one that ever helped. WHEN will it go generic?"


"I suffered from acne for 20 years. I've tried countless other so-called remedies and NOTHING can even compare to the effectiveness of trentinoin. My face began to clear up within a week, and I did NOT experience the massive breakout that many users complain of when first using it. I used to get huge painful cyst-like zits that could take months to go away and would frequently reoccur in the same spot. Since starting to use trentinoin cream almost a year ago, I haven't had a single one of these!! This is miraculous in my book. Added bonus is that discolored spots from previous acne have lightened up, and small wrinkles are essentially being smoothed out! I skip days  so as not to dry out my sensitive skin. A good moisturizer is essential!"


"I got the implanon in Feb. 2012. I'm going on 3 years using it. I will continue to use it as my BC plan because I'm forgetful with pills and I travel a lot. When I first got it, I wasn't on BC for over 7 months. I decided to get it and it works great. At first I was pretty emotional though for a few months. It calmed down and periods stopped soon after as well. It would be once a month for a couple of days. Then spotting every 2 months before it completely went away. I still get PMS but no period. No weight gain and no skin problems. Although this past month I started my period again and it has been going on for almost 2 weeks. I think it may be because the pestosterone may be releasing at slower levels. Nearing the end of the 3 years"


"I had to leave a review for this medicine because I consider it to be a wonder drug. I am prone to bronchitis and I've tried everything: amoxicillin, augmentin, ampicillin, z-pack, omnicef, etc. Biaxin is the only--and I mean ONLY--drug that will work on my bronchitis. The worst side effect for me is hunger to the point where I feel like my stomach is eating itself, but I'll gladly temporarily put up with that rather than cough myself to death! This is an amazing medication--it gets the job done when nothing else will."


"I think this really goes to show that birth control effects different bodies in very different ways. I love this birth control. I have been on several (3) other birth controls and not one of them have ever been this reliable. I get my period every month on the same day almost down to the hour. I haven't gained any weight and I don't have side effects. I absolutely know I can depend on this pill and I wouldn't take anything else."


"I was on this for 1 week and it helped within that time, though I was switched off it due to my side effects which included a loss of 13 lbs in 6 days, awful headaches, and insomnia. If you don't get those side effects, it is well worth persisting on."


"I'm a little young to be needing sleeping pills, but I do sadly. (17 years old). I took the 2 small tablets, and I fell asleep around an hour later. But when I woke up I felt like complete crap as I was SO tired. I could barely get up to put my clothes on, and when I did, I felt a little dizzy, and I passed out which was the scariest thing. Tried them again just in case it wasn't the pills, happened again. So for now I'm going to stick to taking 1 instead of 2, and see if that helps any."


"This medication even though only one half absorbed orally was the best pain medicine I have ever used for my Lupus pain. It worked fast and if I was not in Pain in 3-4 hrs. I did not have a hung over effect. I have not taken this medicine in several years because the pain medicines were swapped to Dilaudid for several years. Demerol is not as strong which was great and did not cause constipation."


"I cannot take antidepressants, so I was put n Xanax and then Ativan as needed. I have general anxiety without anxiety attacks and sleep okay but wake early. Dr. Recommended Clonazepam to take as needed. I take 0.5 mg. most days plus at night. Takes the edge of daytime anxiety and helps me sleep well at night. Dr. Said that the low dose I take should not cause problems if I stop and I have no withdrawal symptoms if I do not take any. I also do regular exercise which greatly helps my anxiety and a drink at night can help too."


"I've been on Abilify for about a month now. I take it at night and it has completely eliminated my insomnia. Overall I think it's a great medication."


"Had taken medication for 8 months noticed that my muscle control was weakening and had acid reflux , which I had to take medication for.  After going off this medication my muscle control strengthened and acid reflux was gone. "


"I am thankful to Yaz. Within a few days it cleared up my skin just as I hoped, but I did not expect it to work so fast. My chest has gotten a lot bigger but other than that I have not gained any weight. I seem to have lost my appetite as well; which makes it easier to make healthier food choices. Also, I seem to have more mood swings and am a little more depressed."


"This birth control was so bad that I had to stop after three months. I had a lot of side effects within the past three months, such as terrible acid reflex, nausea, heavy bleeding, migraines, and my face broke out terribly.  This was definitely not the birth control for me."


"I have had the Skyla for about a year now and I must say when I got it inserted I thought I was going to die! The process was quick but the pain was unbearable after. I've always had bad cramps and heavy bleeding but now all of that has tapered off since I've had it so long. I haven't had a period in about a month but I can say the only thing I don't like is the heavy discharge. I'm 23 with one child and an IUD was my only choice due to health reasons. Good luck to you all ladies!"


"I've been using Estrace 1 mg 2x week for around 9-10 years.  It does help with the dryness, itching, burning symptoms but I've had two bladder infections.  I can't help but wonder if having to REUSE the applicator (and maybe not being able to wash it properly or having leftover soap on it?) is the cause.  I hope to find a good source for disposable applicators so I can feel safer using this medicine."


"I'm 18 soon to be 19 and developed an yeast infection 3 days ago I made an appointment to my gynecologist but the itch and inflammation was annoying so I got some miconazole 7 and inserted it and got the worse burning feeling ever like something that don't belong at first but after a few mins the burning subsides and feels a lot better still a lil burning but definitely no itch out....this my first time using it and hoping my last gotta talk my gyn about keeping good ph levels normal"


"I have used this medicine for 7 years and it works great. I was using 30 mg but now I am using 15 mg. I sleep well but I heard I talk in my sleep alot. I haved stopped sugar and caffine and all sweets 4 hours prior to bed. I feel it helps alot better that way. Relaxing shower before bed as well."


"I take Bentyl for irritable bowel syndrome flare ups and it does work for me. I would suggest taking it at night before bed or make sure your home because it can cause drowsiness and dizziness and dry mouth. This is an anti spasmodic. Also known as a muscle relaxer. So be careful when taking this. It really does work wonders."


"I was given numerous medications to treat my condition and many of them just put me in a daze and made me sleep all day and couldn't function,

And my psychiatrist then put me on geodon and was monitoring my condition and slowly increased my dosage and my condition started to improve to the point that I can now function to a point in society,

I can understand now when I start to feel paranoid and hear voices that their only in my head and are not real,

and I come back to reality and calm myself down,

geodon has help me more than thorazin or seriquil,

I take 80mg in the morning and 160mg at night,I've been able to sleep up to 6 hrs now,I feel good and I'm not tired and now I can actually eat in restraunts,I've been taking it for 3 yrs."


"My heart rate was speeding up to the point I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, it was more a problem at night when I would try to go to sleep, heart was pounding and a wave pressure in my ears was keeping me from sleeping, started medicine 3.125 mg twice daily and problem was in good control within one week, I have a blockage left side 30 to 40%, no problems since started medicine, blood pressure is in real good control, I continue EKG every 6 months. "


"My partner has been a heavy drinker for over 5 years now, and within the last 12 months it officially began to get out of control, leading him into the hospital 3 times for an acute attack of pancreatitis. It got to the point where I was going to leave him cause he just wouldn't stop. He also lost his license from drink driving and almost went to jail because of it. It got up to him drinking 700ml-1lt of scotch every day AND going out on top of it before he decided he wanted help. At first he promised me he could ween himself off on his own (don't they all), and obviously he wasn't successful. So his doctor put him on Campral. It has been 9 days now and he has had 1 beer with dinner. He says he just doesn't have the desire to drink anymore."


"I got the Implanon almost three years ago and I'm sad that I have to have it taken out soon. I never once got a period while on it, no weird food cravings or headaches and I've actually lost 50 pounds while on it! I am having a new one put right in after they take this one out. "


"I'm a 29 yr old male, had a stress related heart attack, and yes it was confirmed. I tried atenolol, and a couple of others with no success, finally about the end of 2007 my doctor gave me a sample of bystolic and it was obvious that it was different and it worked. No more Atrial Fibrillation or irregular heart beat. I can't say much about my blood pressure but "I can honestly say that I live by it". Talk to your doctor if you don't like the beta blocker you are on and see if he has any samples."


"I have been taking 50mg decanoate every 28 days, and 10mg/day oral for schizo-effective. This has been the most effective medicine I have ever used! (I have tried all the atypicals with no luck except olanzapine and lurasidone) I have been taking it for over 10 years now. Absolutely no side effects for me, not even weight gain. When I get the shot I usually take a nap in afternoon because it makes me sleepy. If I don't take haldol, I normally get very religious (but twisted type of religious) and tortured with psychosis and generally feel awful with bags under my eyes, acting weird, and not being able to sleep - usually landing me in the hospital. Haldol balances me almost exactly, and I am able to program computers and read and be happy."


"Moderately effective in relief of symptoms and does not make me drowsy, allowing normal activity."


"I am on my 3rd week of taking Contrave, so 2 in the AM & 1 @ night. I have lost a total of 11 pounds. I do work out hard 3 nights a week (zumba cardio + weights & I have for 3+ year) I also have a young dog that I walk minimal 2x a day. I'm unable to finish a lot of meals & I definitely do not crave things the way I used to. I work above a restaurant & many days find myself having a protein shake or a salad due to nothing being "appealing".  I am still experiencing some side effects that I'm trying to ignore because I do feel that it is working, but I am nervous about going up to 2 in the AM & 2 in the PM pills. I have a headache most of the time, trouble sleeping, INSANE CRAZY dreams and not as much energy. When have others side effects decreased?"


"I felt constantly dizzy and nauseous for the first two months I was on this pill. It caused me to gain ten pounds, and I went up two cup sizes. It helped with cramps, but after being rushed to the ER for possible DVT, I decided to stop.

Since then  I have had terrible anxiety and panic attacks, likely as a response to the lack of hormones supplied from the pill. I wish I had never started taking this medicine."


"Advair helps me to breathe, bottom line. I rated it an 8 only because of the side effect of heartburn, which can be almost intolerable at times.  I can find something to relieve that discomfort! I don't really have much of an appetite (see as a good thing for maintaining blood sugar levels and weight).  I am using in conjunction with another once a day inhaler.  I feel better and clearer than I have in years!"


"I've been using the Lidoderm patches off and on for several years, but increasingly more over the past couple months.  I have chronic neck pain, the result of a car accident, and a herniated disc in my neck (C5/6).  I'm sick of taking narcotics and I've tried every form of physical therapy in the book, and while I feel the Lidoderm patches work, they won't stick on long enough for me to really get the maximum results, which is really frustrating.  My rating would be much higher if the patches were more adhesive."


"Please read! There are so many scary and terrible reviews on this drug. Before going on this drug, I read reviews and became stiff with anxiety. I actually took a brand names Zenatane, which is the same thing just a little cheaper. LIFE SAVER. I had to come on here and write a glowing review for everyone who was in the position I was before starting. My flare up began the summer of my senior year of high school and got so terrible when I moved away for college. It was so bad and I was so embarrassed that I moved back home. Huge hard cyst type zits all over my face with redness. No amount of makeup could hide it. I finally made the choice to just do this treatment. It's the best choice I have ever made. I have actually been off of it for almost two years now and still don't get much... a few every now and then but small and hardly ever. The side effects- NOT THAT BAD. Yes I had very dry eyes... but nothing some good drops couldn't fix. I also had a dry nose but nothing some good spray couldn't fix. Towards the end of my treatment I even started my outdoor college soccer practices. I was in the sun, I was running and out of breath, but everything was just fine! The worst part about this drug for me was taking the pills. I have a fear of swallowing pills but I did it with some yogurt and it's no big deal. Here's the thing... FOLLOW THE RULES. My sister took this before me. She ruined it for herself. She decided smoking while taking it is no big deal... wrong. It ruined her breathing to a point where she had to stop the drug... and her skin was much worse than mine. 5 years later she is on it again and doing great. So don't listen to all the scary reviews. You will be fine! You can manage the side effects. You can get more help from your Derm. YOU GOT THIS."


"I am 21 years old, non-smoker, do not drink often, exercise regularly (aka. poster child of health, I was a college athlete as well...I don't even have a cavity!) I recently got diagnosed with DVT (blood clot in leg) and a pulmonary embolism.  I was on Junel FE and the 3 doctors I saw said it was due to the birth control.  DO NOT TAKE THIS!  I know it is considered a "rare" side effect, but it can happen to you easily.  Apparently it is not as rare as I thought.  The medication is VERY costly and you may have to be on blood thinners for the rest of your life. Be careful."


"Hi I thought I would share my experience to help others make a good decision. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with a Panic Disorder, GAD, and Depression. My initial struggles ended up with me on Celexa. This drug did work but took a long time for to take effect. (4 months). Last September it finally just stopped working. I went through a major period of depression and withdrawls until I finally found Zoloft. I had immediate effects! It turned my life around I now have zero side effects. I do have some lingering anxiety but nothing I cant handle. Occasionally I take a clonazepam to settle my kettle."


"I truly believe this drug is a miracle drug. I had been on high doses of oxycodone, methadone, oxycontin 80 mg, and opana 30 ER for about 14 years and when I tried to stop on my own the w/d's were so bad that it was impossible for me. I was put on subutex for 2 months (my choice for discontinuing) 8 mg a day. I weaned myself off within two months and I did experience very slight w/d's, but nothing I couldn't deal with for about 2 weeks. Mainly I believe that I just didn't know how to live drug free so my emotions were like a roller coaster for a couple weeks. Pushing through though is the key because your mind will tell you this will never end, but it does and pretty quick if you stay committed and stay away from bad choices."


"My father 84 years old received botox treatment in April, still today he can not empty the bladder by himself and continue using catheters.  This part was not disclosed when presenting the treatment option.  Will  he be able to empty the bladder by himself when botox effect is gone?"


"I previously took Celexa for GAD; but it stopped working. Switched to Paxil. Paxil is great for anxiety but it gave me constant nausea that wouldn't go away. I switched to Prozac. The first 2 weeks on Prozac, it gave me more anxiety, nausea and unable to eat a lot. After two weeks, my anxiety/panicky was reduced, appetite is good again and sometimes I will get bouts of nausea. So far, Prozac at 40 is working pretty good. I also take Valium 5 mg as needed once or twice a week.  Valium is amazing. When Prozac is not working well on certain days, Valium is used to smooth things out.  Valium is a good rx since it will stay in our system for a longer time. If you use it scarcely, you can use Valium for life. Prozac & Valium: Excellent together."


"Okay, first off my anxiety has gotten worse the past couple of years to the point where if my boss calls me in his office to talk to me one on one, I get sweaty palms, quivering voice, and chest pain.  Well...I came to this sight saw what you guys had to say and I got a prescription for Propanolol thinking it would help me.  Guess What?  It's a total GAMECHANGER.  My boss called me in his office today to try to intimidate me and I was just like Hey boss what's new?  What can I do for you?  I just treated him like it was no big deal and he wasn't intimidating me one bit.  I put a bead on him and look him directly in his eyes and was cool and calm.  I could have NEVER done that before.  Thanks everyone on here. Propanolol is the real deal."


"I was diagnosed with sciatic pain that affected my back and right thigh. I used the gel liberally as the pain increased. Eight days ago I stopped as my right thigh was experiencing a burning sensation in the area where I had applied the gel. I still have the burning sensation.I am on various drugs for hypettension."


"I had a herniated disc problem at L5 S1. Doctors suggested I  take 100 mg daily twice and it works very well."


"My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex 11 days ago. I didn't cum inside of her but I was scared that pre-cum got inside her. She took the pill 49 hours after we had sex and we had to wait a long 9 days after taking the pill before she got her period. This pill will work for you, I promise. After taking plan B she experienced pregnancy like symptoms for the next few days. Swollen breasts, lower back pain, severe cramping, hunger, sweet tooth, stomach pains. But it works, just give it time."


"Ever since I was a child, I have had recurring urinary tract infections that only became more frequent as I grew older. I was having 4-12 UTI's a year and was treated for 8 kidney infections, three of which required hospitalization. Nitrofurantoin has made a huge difference in my life. One 50mg pill a day and I have not had a single UTI in over 5 years."


"Propranolol a 40mg 2x1 leaded me to an episode of supra ventricular tachycardia (244bpm)"


"This medicine changed my life. After 18 months of constant post nasal drip, coughing up sputum, sore throat, and nasal congestion, I think I may have finally found my answer. I have taken almost every medicine suggested to me and seen over 30 doctors. I was finally put on this for Rhinitis and Asthma and I started to notice a big difference by 4 days in. It has now been a week without coughing up sputum (something that I had daily for 18 months), and my congestion and breathing is significantly better. For some reason antihistamines and inhalers don't seem to help me, but Singulair does. I'm so glad that I tried this medication!"


"I started using Rogaine about 6 months ago and I stopped because I saw hair on my cheeks :( I tried other stuff like vitamins shampoo, Rosemary oil, etc. Nothing was working, matter of fact my hair kept falling.  My family comes from very thin hair and hair loss. Double negative! I'm only 27 and on top of my scalp is so thin. I read Rogaine reviews and I decided I was going to give it a dedicated try. It's been about 3 months. I use more than the dosage and geeez do I see hair on my face. lol I'm laughing because I now trim my face. My eyebrows grow so fregen fast and they're SUPER FULL! My eyelashes seem longer and now I have side burns lol. Oh goodness. Do I see more hair on my scalp? Hell yea! not enough though. I need more!"


"I had a patient attack me back in 1997 resulting in L shoulder ligament tears, which required surgery.  Months after the surgery my L arm was very painful, cold, the skin hurt to touch it.  I would cry with the pain daily.  After seeing the orthopedic again just before surgery I asked what are you going to do about the cold temperature in my arm.  To this point I had only seen physician assistance.  The MD took one look at my arm, cancelled the surgery for the next day and sent me immediately to see  another Dr in Jacksonville, FL.  This Dr took one look at my arm and knew that moment what it was, RSD reflex sympathetic dystrophy.  They tried several medications and he sent me to a pain specialists.  He stared me on Cymbalta 120 mg daily."


"I was diagnosed a few months ago (I'm 19) with ADD. The first--any only-- medicine I have tried thus far is Concerta (27 and 36mg). Not only has my ADD not gotten any better, but I feel I have anxiety, mood swings, restlessness, and insomnia. I've used it for several weeks, adjusted my dose, and minimized any external stress and it's not any better."


"This is my first birth control, I'm 18 years old and I've had it for about three months and it's not very long but I've had a lot of side effects.. I'm very emotional and normally it takes a lot to make me break into tears, now I cry for everything. The worst side effect I've gotten is the pains, I get really sharp pains on my sides around my hip bones or right above my uterus and it's not cramps they come out of no where and they are so painful I can't move. While my body is still adjusting I still am not on the colored pills during my period I get my period about mid color then once I'm on the white normal pill my period stops which in my opinion is great because for 7 years I was used to a whole 7 day period now it's about 4"


"I had sex during my most fertile time! The condom broke and I was freaked out! I took plan B 30-36 hours after it happened. I was super tired the day I took it and slept most of the day. I then received bad cramps I thought I was "implanting"! A few days later I started getting nauseous and back pains I thought I was pregnant! That continued for almost a week.. And I got really sick... My boobs hurt, and I had awful pain in my back. At that point I was terrified!  Now 2 days late I received my period!"


"I was on 5 mg but was perscribed the 10 mg tablets for 3 years & it worked great & I would fall asleep fast & stay asleep for 7 to 8 hours!! I was forced to switch Drs after moving & my quack of a new dr I have now thinks my insomnia that I was diagnosed with 3 years ago is all in my head so instead of renewing my prescription she pulled me off it I've gone through 3 different depression meds that didn't help, tried belsomra that didn't work so she put me on this & worked great for 1 week then nothing back to up for 24 to 48 hours no sleep & if I'm lucky & get sleep it's only maybe 4 hours cause I don't stay asleep!! Looking for a new dr now that will listen to me & spend more then 5 minutes to talk to me!!"


"I've been taking Keppra for almost 3 years for JME. Fortunately it has stopped the seizures but I do get a lot of headaches, which my doctor dismisses whenever I mention them. Other than that I am happy to continue using this medication."


"I give it a 10"


"After EEG showed seizure activity, Neurologist started me on 500mg/day Keppra.  At the 4 hr mark, I felt very spaced out. Couldn't think, hazy, slurring speech, lethargic, etc. Neuro suggested I start taking at night, so that I could "sleep through" the odd feeling.  Now, I WAKE up at the 4 hr mark... on the dot, every single night. I still feel spaced out, and find it hard to get comfortable and fall back asleep. Takes me about an hour to fall back asleep. Sleep disturbances cause me to feel tired during day."


"I'm 16 years old, and I have been on the shot since July 2013. I haven't had any of the side effects like having unusual cramps, headaches, or ance. The only problem that I have is I spot on and off for about 2-3 weeks right before I'm supposed to get my next shot."


"30 milligrams worked like a charm for three months in addition to medicine I take for depression bipolar and anxiety all mixed together I slept however I needed to up my dose of 60 milligrams forward to continue to work which it also did like a charm for 3 more months that is 6 months I'm sleeping after 2 years of extreme insomnia which had basically destroyed my life I am up and running however...... I had a doctor's appointment today because I have been getting restless sleep I wanted to go to 30 milligrams Restoril and 10 milligrams of Valium as this has worked in the past however my doctor was not there and I am scared that I may not sleep so well or take extra medicine to sleep that's my experience"


"Taken for 6 weeks. No problems with side effects, but does not curb my eating at all. Expensive lesson learned. No weight loss even on low calorie diet and exercise routine."


"I have suffered from depression for about six years now. I am a female and about to turn 22. I was put on Zoloft because I recently began to experience severe anxiety over little things. Walking around campus terrified me. I couldn't go through drive-thru's or phone someone I didn't know. My mood swings were becoming ridiculous and I had been having more obsessive suicidal thoughts. I started Zoloft 50mg and everything was wonderful for a month then it wore off. I slipped back into severe depression. I just started taking 100mg and feel so much better! The only side effect I have experienced are a little insomnia, slight loss of appetite, random hand twitching, and some forgetfulness. I finally enjoy life and don't want to just give up."


"I have had periods of rather severe depression for basically my whole adult life but never tried a medication. I recently decided to try one and asked my rheumatologist just as we were finishing up.  She didn't ask me why I wanted it thus avoiding seeing me cry and did the prescription. I saw an amazing change over the following few weeks - not only mood change, no more crying spells, best sleep I have had in 20 years or more, but I no longer obsess about things I cannot change. I have been able to give up added sugar. I have lost a bit of weight down to 103lbs and my (how do I say this) - my intestines are working as they have not done since childhood.  I am amazed! "


"I love this medicine it's a miracle... very effective. Have battled constipation for a long time."


"I was taking the 60mg OP's for a little over a year, (I was on the regular oxycodone before the change)--they were making me extremely nauseous, at times violent vomiting and dry heaving.  It started with the nausea immediately and then it seemed like every 3 months I would have a bout of nausea, vomiting and dry heaving that would last for days.  I was in the hospital 4 times this past year. I am taking Opana now. I have been on it almost a month and guess what?!!  No more of the daily nausea and worse again.  Doing well on Opana. Wish I could have gotten it sooner.  My insurance would not pay for it at first, but now they do! Good Luck Everyone."


"*3rd update* I started Saxenda 2-19-2017 starting weight was 208 , I am now 186!!! In 65 days I have lost 22 lbs!!! I am so happy, I am at dose 2.4 still.. hoping doc advises to go to 3mg soon , I go see her for 1st time this week! I am rarely experiencing side effects, worse one is constipation. I will update in 2 weeks , goal weight is 160. It is worth it!♡"


"I've been prescribed Flexeril a few times when I've severely pulled a muscle. I use it as a muscle relaxant only; to lower the pain of a spasm and be able to stretch the muscle a bit to loosen it.  When I was in PT I took it after when my muscles were tight and aching. It worked great for those days I overdid it. It's definitely not a pill to take during the day unless you've become accustomed to it. I can attest to efficacy for short term use up to 2 weeks, but am doubtful about how well it would work long term."


"This drug did not work for me. The sedating effects were almost more than I could handle, and I constantly had the feeling of being "underwater" as I tried to talk and communicate with those around me. It worked on my symptoms a little bit, but not enough to make up for the weirdness I felt from the side effects. I was on a dose of 300mg 4x a day so I don't know if that would produce worse side effects or not."


"I found a bright red rash on my arm after planting some flowers and vegetables in my yard. I thought at first it was a yellow jacket sting but I never felt it. But after a few days my arm began to hurt, and the rash spread. Not a true bulls-eye though. My doctor saw me from across the crowded waiting room and pointed to me and said Lyme.
I was prescribed Doxycycline 100mg 2x a day for 14 days. I was unable to take this medicine on an empty stomach, because I had severe nausea and diarrhea but didn't want to reduce the effectiveness so ate a little something. It made me sleepy and sometimes anxious and sometimes dizzy but not enough to stop medicines. I pray this Lyme disease is gone for good."


"It's only been 3 days that my son has been on this medication. But from the first time he's taken it I could tell the difference."


"This is my second night of taking Ambien CR 10 Mg. Last night, I fell asleep and woke up with the pictures hanging on the wall on top of me. I'm not sure what happened there, but hopefully everything will be better! I have my fingers crossed!"


"Something that really works for me when my schedule allows is to take a short nap after taking Imitrex.  I wake up with little discomfort.  My head is clear.  I can think.  One of the worst symptoms of my migraines is that I cannot stay focused on a task.  If I am unable to nap the Imitrex has little effect on me.  This is horrible when you are at work as many of you know.  "


"Please talk to your PHARMACIST and let him know what other medications you are taking if you are ever prescribed this medication. I was prescribed this medication for severe neurological pain but my doctor either ignored or overlooked the fact that I was also taking a medication for migraines and I had a very bad interaction between the two medications which led to what I would call bad rage."


"I've had numerous invasive spinal surgeries, sciatic nerve pain, as well as discomfort at the site of my neurostimulator implantation. The patches alleviate the discomfort in conjunction with a medication regime put in place by my pain management doctor that I follow to the letter allowing for less medication having to be taken while they're in use. I've had no side effects. Overall a very positive experience."


"Many horror stories on the web, but here's my positive experience 2 weeks in:
- note I never had kids, been on pills for over 15 years with no side effects, but want the most effective and convenient option.
- took 800mg Advil 1.5 hours before. It was a day before my period.
- key is finding a very experienced doctor who uses local anesthetics and cervical dilation, which I think really helped. I barely felt anything, similar to pap.
- some cramping afterwards but not bad as I continued with Advil for 2 more days. Spotting once or twice daily but nothing too bad. No side effects at all yet.
- everyone's different. Don't be scared off by reviews!"


"My son had over half of the severe reactions to this medicine. He was prescribed this medicine for an ear infection. We spent a whole day in the doctors office being tested for everything from cancer and blood disorders to simple viruses. Thankfully, we found out it was just a reaction to augmentin. Our oldest son has had augmentin before without any reaction what-so-ever."


"I'm taking this for Bipolar 2 with major depressive disorder that has been treatment resistant for over 5 years.  Rexulti is the first drug that has ever worked for me.  I have tried virtually everything previously with things making me a zombie, worse than I was or simply nothing at all.  Rexulti has been a miracle drug for me.  It does give me insomnia so I'm going to try to switch to taking it in the morning to see if that helps.  I am on a 2 mg dose."


"Went through such amazing pain due to fibromyalgia, and severe head aches, I wanted to die. After trying amitripaline, my pain had completely dissappeared. I also found I feel completely balanced, confident,  and very happy. I just wish I fell to sleep a little quicker."


"I wanted to rate this an 8.5.  Not sure why.  I have tried numerous medications for the past 15 years with many side effects or no effectiveness.  Wellbutrin XL(300 mg) seems to work best for me. I have a lot more energy now where I was sleeping all weekend before.  I can live with my side effects at this point.  My appetite isn't very good but on the positive, I have lost weight and feel better about myself.  I now have trouble sleeping, my heart rate has increased usually about 7 hours after I take it causing anxiety symptoms, sometimes my head is a little foggy and my memory recall is slow but I will accept these because of the energy and ability for me to now accomplish what I wasn't able to before."


"I just started taking Sprintec and so far the hormone variations are severe.  I hope it gets better."


"I'm 13 years old with lots of acne i do lots of sports and I got back acne very bad I became self conscious . it really sucked I didn't not wear muscle shirts for months because of the emberessing acne on my back...I told my doctor and

she told me about trentinoin cream..which I've been using for a few weeks it has been working great.The only thing is Im peeling and itching.bad at times...I see lots of improvement but this is something you have to be patient about..summer is coming. And I don't wanna be covered up all summer lol I recommend the product..just remember stay patient and clam and it willl clear up in no time "


"Had RA for 4 yrs after birth of my baby. I spent 2 years on various meds which did nothing for the pain Then put on Humira which worked wonders for nearly 2 years then started getting flare ups again so they put me on Enbrel 1st injection fine 2nd got small injection site reaction 3Rd injection got massive reaction at injection site & laryngitis Dr diagnosed cellulitis but after reading that laryngitis can be a symptom of allergic reaction I'm leaning towards an allergic reaction and am currently waiting a reply from my rheumatology team!"


"Lithium has cut my suicidal thinking drastically and helped my sleep. For 20 years I have fantasized about suicide from between 25 times and 300 times a week consistently. I took latuda and lamictal for bipolar and had very little sleep on both and the suicidal thinking got too intense. Been on lithium for 3 months now and the suicidal thinking has diminished to between 0 and 5 times a week. Huge difference. Have not noticed any adverse side effects. I am on a regular sleep schedule now as well. Highly recommended for the overly suicidal thinker like me."


"I'm 18 I've never been pregnant or anything of that sort but going in to the input of the skyla I was nervous because I read the reviews on this website and it made me really scared as , I just got the skyla in me about an hour ago  I'm a heavy bleeder.  They called me to go through to the room and I laid down on the chair, the doc came and  talked to me about what she was going to do. Long story short, they put this tool in u to open up your vagina and it gives u a lot of pressure, then there were 2 pains beside the pressure one felt like some one had poked the insides of my vag with a needle and the other was a cramp. It was kinda painful but everything turned out perfect and as of an hour in a half I've had no pain so yay. PS  .Don't listen to the reviews it will  be ok"


"Lexapro is a lifesaver. Do not worry about the negative reviews, and keep in mind that the majority of them have been written by people who got off after days or a few weeks. Anxiety got a lot worse in the beginning. When it does, you get scared. Scared that the pills won't work. Scared that it will be like this for ever. But it DOES get better. For me, it really took a long time. I felt a very gradual improvement every week, and after about 3 months my anxiety was practically gone. I feel like a new person - it is amazing that a pill is able to do this. And for any emetophobics reading this: It helps against that fear as well. I didn't experience any nausea, but kept Reglan just in case. Sex drive lower, but able to orgasm. Life is good."


"I have taken mirtazapine for two weeks now, upped to 15mgs after one week.  No real side effects - no zombiness, no hunger but no real improvement in anxiety yet either.  Really hoping that its just early days as citalopram was a nightmare for me."


"Good grief! This stuff comes directly from the fire pits . I have a yeast infection and was told to take the 7 day Monitstat instead of Diflucan. First off, who designed the applicator? With its jagged edges, I’m certain every time I insert it, I’m sheering off a layer of my tender skin off. Damn it hurts! Can someone please get a woman to design this thing? Second, the minute I inserted the cream it burned, stung and the itching was magnified. I’ve been using Monistat off and on for over 13 yrs and I have NEVER been this uncomfortable using this product. They must have changed the formula because of the intense itch /burn/pain. Don’t do it. Call Dr and beg for mercy!"


"I have had anxiety for as long as I can remember, but just had a horrible Doctor. My anxiety turned me to abusing drugs, alcohol, opiates, and even Benzos. I finally got clean and still had anxiety, but thought I would never get this script with my history. I finally found a Dr. who took a chance and trusted me. Clonazopam on a regular dose has helped me in so many ways. I'm prescribes 4 1 mg tabs a day, even though I don't usually take that much, along with wellbutrin.  I'm no longer experiencing anxiety or panic attacks and best of all don't feel the need to get high in order to get rid of it. clonazepam has saved my life along with suboxone. Any Dr who thinks these 2 drugs shouldn't be mixed is stopping the best opiate recovery."


"I've been taking Mononessa since January 2013, and have had a really good experience. No weight gain, no hormonal changes, no unexpected pregnancies! If I ever had side-effects it was within the first month of taking the pills just because my body was adjusting to them. But ever since, my period has been extremely consistent and gotten a lot lighter (which is nice!). I honestly just have no complaints. Also, with a committed partner, it has been totally safe to have sex without a condom (if you're wondering about that kind of thing). I've never had a scare or anything with this birth control -- it's been super effective. Overall, it's just a great product. Love it. Also, shout out to Obamacare for covering my birth control!"


"I've had years of GERD without any food triggers and daily heartburn. Protonix was a dream! It is, however, very expensive. My insurance had it on its drug list and dropped it this year. A 30 day supply is $120! I've had to switch to Nexium."


"During the first month I experienced extreme nausea and gained 5lbs quickly! I was always hungry. The moodiness came during the 3rd pack. On my fourth pack and the new side effect i have is yeast infections! Last month the day after my cycle, my first yeast infection. It is interfering with my sex life w/ my husband. Seeing that this is becoming a regular inconvenience i will be changing my birth control indefinitely."


"Do not get this it controls everything in your mind and more - expect a divorce if married by year 2 you gain almost 100 pounds or more and the weight is stuck on you FOR EVER. Run from this as much as possible it is not worth it you won't get pregnant but a list of problems I swear you will regret this thing quick. Once your body starts to change physically and mentally, sharp pains up and down your arm, worsen migraine, weight gain, bloating, always annoyed everyday and DEPRESSION EXTREMELY BAD"


"I've been on Sprintec for 3 weeks now, I've got 3 blue pills left. I've been on 4 different kinds of birth control in the past and I can honestly say that Sprintec has been my FAVORITE! I have had no mood swings or weight gain which is awesome. I had horrible weight gain with other birth controls. I have chronic migraines and I haven't had any increase in them or anymore acne than normal. I did have a very suppressed appetite at first, I was very hungry but would sit down to eat and just be nauseous at the thought. That only lasted a week and a half or so. My breasts have grown, which I'm not complaining about at all. All in all I'm very pleased and would recommend Sprintec to anyone!"
