"I have been taking this medication for four months now, and started on the lowest dose and moved onto the middle dose.  So far, I am down 16 pounds (I'm petite at 5'1).  I hit my plateau the last month, so I just started the new dose of 15mg yesterday and will see if that helps. I've also been counting calories/working out and I think you get the best results when also changing your lifestyle.  It's not a magic pill, but it helps. It certainly helps suppress your appetite and sugar cravings. After reading some of these posts, I feel pretty lucky as I haven't had severe side effects other than some tingling in my fingers, and a harder time falling asleep. But again, regular exercise will also help with that, or at least in my case."


"Calmed my racing  thoughts a lot.  Downside is the days I don't take them I feel mentally groggy"


"Naratriptan has always worked for me. I tried other Triptans with no luck. Relpax made me very sick, imitrex did nothing. Amerge naratriptan takes the bad headache and throbbing eye sockets to minor level in 30 minutes. Slight muscle aches. Slightly tired but functional. Good med. Very glad I can get it for simple copayment."


"Miracle drug"


"I am 21 years old and I have been sweating since I started college. I turned into a huge loser. I hung out in my basement on Friday and Saturday nights because I couldn't go out with my friends without sweating non-stop under my arms. I finally got the courage to talk to my doctor about it. I have been using this product for two days now and it is a miracle! No sweating at all, not even when I work out. I am so much more happy now and I have the confidence to conquer all of my dreams. THANK YOU HYPERCARE I LOVE YOU."


"Makes me very drowsy, induces vertigo,  BUT stops cough better than any other treatment I've tried."


"I've been on this patch for a short period of time, however, I can say it works fast !!! On the 2nd day using this product, my flashes and night sweats were less severe !  I did experience nervousness on the 1st day, it lasted just a  few hours hours then went away. So far, so good."


"This medicine was effective in curing a UTI during pregnancy but it was also effective as causing upset stomach and vomiting. I am allergic to penicillin and had no allergic reactions to Keflex but it did cause me to feel very ill by the second pill of the day.  I took this medicine 3x a day for 8 days and by the second day, I knew we would have stomach issues. I took plenty of probiotics but it's just a very powerful medicine."


"I take the stuff twice a day (sometimes more, depending) and I find it very effective. It takes a few minutes to kick in so as soon as you feel a CH coming on, pop one. It also works as a preventative for CHs; I take one as soon as I wake up. I also take Rizatriptan, which works crazy good but they only prescribe ten pills per month, so use sparingly."


"I take Ocella to help control my PCOS and as a birth control. It's done a good job of regulating my period and as a birth control. However, I've experienced many mood swings and depressive-like symptoms as well as more nausea and tenderness in my breasts. It does what it needs to do which is why I'm reluctant to switch since it is one of the best birth controls to regulate my PCOS symptoms."


"I had the Nexplanon for the full 3 years and just recently had it extracted and replaced. This is the only form of birth control I've ever used and I've had a pretty solid experience. I love not having to remember to take anything. My periods are usually an average 80 days apart with lighter flow. I had mine inserted at Planned Parenthood both times and they did a pretty good job. They numbed my arm so I didn't feel anything and made sure to make a small hole for minimal scaring. I did have a short linear bruise for a few days but I barely notice it most of the time. Overall, it's a positive experience."


"I started zoloft after months of bad panic episodes.  I was previously on celexa, but I did not feel it was working anymore.   I started on 50mg's and have worked up to 100mg.  I have had all the side effects people talk about.  Insomnia, shakiness, fast heart beat etc.  I've been on that dose for almost 3 weeks now and my anxiety is still very high.  I take klonopin .5mg at night to sleep and another .5mg in the day if I absolutely have to have it.  I'm still waiting for that switch that everyone is talking about.  Not sure if I need to increase the dose or ride it out. I feel terrible right now.  I meditate and try breathing excercises, but I still feel awful.  I need some reassurance please..."


"I have been on this pill for less then a month, I'm at the end of the 3rd active week and this whole week I been spotting and cramping and some discharge that I never had problems with before. I was on mononessa for almost 2 years previously, my pharmacy changed it without my consent they told me it was the same but its not. While on it the first week I got super depressed and was moody and its gotten worse now that its the third week I'm constantly annoyed and more moody then usual. I do take another script for PMDD that usually keeps my moods in line. But this birth control has screwed up with my balance all around. I can't wait to get back on mononessa for next month. I woudn't recommend this to any female who is overly sensitive& emotional"


"I have been taking phentremine for 2 weeks now and in the first week I lost 9 1/2 lbs. I absolutely love this pill. It has helped me control my cravings, so that I don't feel hungry anymore. I am also on a diet plan, where I eat no bread, rice,crackers,potatoes,carrots,brown rice,tortillas, pita...etc. Basically anything that has a lot of starch. I have energy and feel really happy, I have been doing squats and lunges, although this week I have slacked, but I have been faithful to my diet."


"GREAT. Feel better than ever using this medicine and only side effect was some weight gain."

"Very effective against seasonal allergies from Juniper pollen. Reduces symptoms by about 80%, so I gave it a rating of 8."


"I've taken Zoloft, Wellbutrin, and citalopram. I take the generic citalopram and this has by far been the best medication and lasted the longest. I've been on it for 5 years now and it manages my depression well.

The only downside is that SSRIs can cause hypothyroidism, so I am now also on thyroid medication. I went undiagnosed for years because the thyroid test ranges are so broad. I never had a thyroid problem before I started anti-depressants.

Still, the trade off is worth it because without the antidepressants I'd be dead.

If you are on an SSRI's, get your thyroid checked.  A TSH range over 3.0 is a problem no matter what your doctor says."


"Had Skyla put in 8 weeks after having my second child. It was slightly painful, but just for a second. Then I almost passed out on my way home and had bad cramps and had to lie around for a couple hours. Fast forward to now, I got pregnant with the IUD in and while nursing! I had the Skyla removed yesterday and will never do it again."


"I suffered from depression and general anxiety disorder. After Effexor, I experienced memories I long forgot which cleared up a lot of confusion.  Today I am clear on all the negative emotional feelings I experienced and when I cannot afford to buy it for a few days, I really experience depression, anxiety and confusion on my own self worth, life, etc.  I feel this medicine is a God-send for me."


"Worked well, full night of sleep. First without waking to go to bathroom.  No side effects, no morning fog, alert, had a good day at work."


"My friend and I both used the patch to prevent motion sickness on our first cruise.  By day 3 of the cruise, I had double vision, and could not even read the menu at dinner.  I also began to get a horrible migraine, complete with flashes of light in my vision.  I assumed the patch was wearing off, so I removed the old one and put on a new one.  By the morning of day 4, we removed the patch after reading possible side effects on the box.  My vision did not return to normal until day 6.  I spoke with the doctors in the infirmary, and they said they often see this as a side effect to the medication.  My friend experienced the same double vision, although hers began a day behind mine.  "


"I have been on Campral about 10 days and this drug does work..really work..zero cravings.  I was drinking a liter of Vodka a day. I was in rehabs from August 2015 to February 2016 (and relapsed when I got out) and not one of the psychiatrist at the rehabs mentioned Campral.The reason they don't is because they know it works and just want to take your money to pay for the rehab because if you don't they are out of a job. Save your money on rehabs and ask your doc for Campral instead.  I am 43 years old and have been an alcoholic a majority of my adult life. I feel like I have my life back and everyone sees a change in me and best of all I do too!  The only thing I don't like is that I didn't know about this drug years ago,but glad i do now."


"I have been on meclizine for about a year now. One day at work I turned my head really fast and got so dizzy I felt like I was going to pass out. My doctor put me on the medicine 25mg every 6 hours as need. Also went to therapy for the vertigo but was told I didn't have vertigo and got sent home with a Popsicle stick and eye excercise to do (which don't work). My doctor is saying I'm dizzy because of my job and how my head and neck is always down. The meclizine works good but only last for a 3 hours before it wears off. Hoping my doctor will up the mg, or let me take more in a day. Oh and for the tiredness side effect, it's does go away once your body gets used to it."


"I have taken Adderall 30 mg XR for a little over a year along with a 10 mg boost needed after lunch to get my attention and motivation going. Since it only helps a little to calm my thoughts down and only jump from starting 3 tasks instead of 5 and slowed my thoughts down a little bit the Dr thought to try this new medication Adzenys XR 15.7 mg. Started it 6 days ago and it does nothing for me. I have zero motivation to many thoughts are swimming around. also have a constant headache for the majority of the morning and dull one later and then a crash at midday. at least with Adderall my motivation was great, I thought about a few things at the same time instead of being bombarded and no crash."


"Expensive but worth it! My uric acid was in the 9-10 range and I was having several severe gout attacks every year. I tried allopurinol but didn't work, so started on Uloric 40mg about 6 months ago. Had a few minor attacks during the first 5 months, but since then I can eat or drink anything and doesn't cause any flashes. Doctors office just called and the uric acid level was 4.8."


"I took 2 500 mg pills per day for a total of one week to treat my Trichomoniasis. In regards to the taste, as long as you eat something flavored right after you take the medicine with water there is no residual taste. Don't understand why so many people complained about this as the medicine is in your mouth for 2 seconds. As for side effects, I had none. The only side effect I might've experienced was slight drowsiness. I noticed changes in the odor of my discharge by 3 days of treatment. No nausea, vomiting, headaches, etc. This can change person to person but in my experience I had no issues. I made sure to not drink any alcohol during the treatment (No Listerine, desserts with alcohol in it, etc.) Always took it after a meal as well."


"I've been on all of the commonly prescribed SSRIs. Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, Trazodone, Cymbalta, Prozac..just to name a few. I tried all of these during my teenage years and experienced agitation, suicidal tendencies, and indifference as side effects of these drugs. I waited out the nausea for the first two weeks of taking Trintellix and now that has gone away. My anxiety has been calmed and my depressive feelings have also been brought down to a tolerable level where I can bring myself out of it. This is the best medication I've been prescribed to for my anxiety/depression to date. I'd say it would be best to wait out the nausea and see if it goes away"


"Only thing that helps a cough so bad you are throwing up."


"I've had acne since I was 12 and I'm 20 now. I've used so many products, this is by far the only thing that worked like it said it would. I was scared because of the side effects and when I was 17 my mom would not let me use it. By the time I turned 18 she knew how bad it mad me feel cause she's had mild acne her whole life and I had severe acne. The only side effect I had was dry lips and my doctor gave me something for that and it worked so the only effect I had was my acne cleared up 100% and stayed clear for a good 7 or 8 months after. Now it's mild I've been off it for over a year because I don't have insurance but within the next week or two I'd like to go back on it."


"I have Type 2 Diabetes my blood sugar is controlled.  I am very overweight, I was 5'8 314 lbs on January 6th of this year.  Disgusted with my predicament,  I started two things Weight Watchers and Victoza.  This morning I weighed in at 293 Lbs.  I started out on the 0.6 dosage that I could barely tolerate and have eventually made it to the 1.2 dosage this is my sweet spot, I have plans to move up my dosage at this points as my morning blood sugars are 85-90 and will decrease with more weight loss.  Victoza is truly a miracle. Before Victoza I took Metforming 500 mg ER which did nothing to help me lose weight. It controlled my blood sugars but no weight loss.  I am excited to see how much more I can lose, in 1 month I dropped 21 pounds."


"I've been taking it for a good while now, the first three months I was dizzy, nausea, and moody. But after those initial months that has stopped.[Pros] I had bad acne and it has helped clear it up, periods are less painful .[cons] I have gained a few pounds and am constantly craving food, my sex drive is substantial lower. May be trying another brand soon because of this. **I recommend setting an alarm on phone to remember to take it, mines for 10 that's way if  there's a chance I'll be out late it's with me and taking it won't interfere with my day to day activities**"


"I was sick 7 years ago, immediately after being infected, so there was very little time to do damage to my body without being on medication.  I started on Atripla, and was undetectable within 30 days and CD4 went from 350 to 900.  I still have weird dreams, but otherwise my health has never been better.
I take a strict daily vitamin regimen in addition to my Atripla.  I only have to see the doctor twice a year now.  I am so fortunate.  This medication is amazing."


"I'm 23, no kids. Had Jaydess (Canadian name for Skyla) inserted about 6 weeks ago, and so far so good! I decided I wanted to get off birth control pills because I suspected they were causing depression and anxiety (they were!). The insertion was really painful, but I later learned my uterus was "8/10 on the difficulty scale", so I'll accept that. I had light spotting/bleeding almost every day, for 5 weeks, but it stopped completely last week. The bleeding was 90% less than what I'm used to for my period. I had my checkup today and everything looks good!

My verdict is if the pill isn't bothering you, it's probably not worth the pain and money. But if you're like me, and have had issues, I highly recommend trying Skyla/Jaydess."


"Been on terazosin for 3 months for blood pressure.  My blood pressure went from 165/95 to 220/125. I also take a beta blocker, spirolactone and coversyl.  Did the opposite of what it was supposed to do.  Felt nauseous the entire time and almost fainted numerous times.  This drug had the adverse reaction for me and was a very difficult 3 months.  I'm back on amlodimine and my blood pressure has returned to normal.  Anyone else with similar experience?"


"Every time my wife is prescribed this med she becomes aggressive and ignores facts. She stops interacting with me and seeks distance. This poison is ruining a 40 year marriage and destroying our family. When she stops taking it she slowly returns to her normally self but her Dr. convinces her she needs it and the cycle starts all over again. Bad drug for some."


"Holy Moly this was the worst! I’ve had yeast infections before but I usually get a prescription for Diflucan and take the one and done method. However, I’m currently pregnant and the Gyn told me to use Monistat. First ever application has me screaming and crying in pain doing everything I can to wash it off. My hubby came running upstairs to check on me. The burning sensation is unbearable and the medication came out the instant I went to the bathroom. Will NEVER use this again"


"I was anemic for years, and thought it was just the way I was.  I had no idea that the soda I was drinking was stopping my body from absorbing iron (and calcium).  One night, my heart rate didn't slow down.  I woke my husband and we went to the hospital.  I found that my anemia was so bad that my red blood cells couldn't get enough oxygen to my body, and my heart was racing trying to get more Oxygen delivered.  The doctors said my heart would have just given up had I not come in.

I found "normal" iron pills gave me horrible, painful gas.  Slow FE was the only iron that didn't. It's made differently than iron pills and your body is able to break it down without the difficult side effects, but it can cause constipation.  I eat 3 prunes a day."


"After reading 107 reviews on the ring and about 100 of them being bad experiences I was very nervous to try the ring. I decide to still try since I was horrible at remembering the pill, and I have to say I am so happy I gave it a chance. I absolutely love the ring. I cannot feel it at all, I have lost weight from it, I have more energy, no more moodiness, and just all around a happier person. The only side effect that I had and that only happen the first day was my face broke out a little. I have always had clear skin, but my first day trying it my chin broke out but after a couple days it cleared up and I have not had a problem since. I would recommend everyone to try it."


"My experience has been terrible.  I am 42 and an educated woman who works in a high capacity job and I can't function.

I have been to the emergency room twice for disorientation and garbled writing/texts.   I have had several falls or balance issues,  one fall caused a concussion, now I walk with a cane on occasions.     I constantly forget things, events, appointments and more.  I finally had to go out on medical leave.   I am in the process of discontinuing all psych meds as they are ruining my life!!!"


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthiritis at 22. Enbrel is great, helps a lot. Just like what everyone else says. The real reason for the review is I've seen on here a few people that complain of the cost and the impact it has. No one needs to suffer because of the cost of this medication. There is a program from Pfizer that helps cover the cost of this medication. I don't know how anyone could afford it without the assistance. Look it up at Pfizer. I'm sure most of you know this, but for those who don't, it's more than worth looking into. I pay $10 a month, way better than $2500."


"So far, I've taken this pill for a few days...I've taken six pills and every night, I notice my face getting a little bit clearer. Even my acne scars seem to be going away! I've had acne since I was 8, and I'm 18 now, so I'm very excited to notice the difference!

I have been having a lot of nausea, and I even had to call into work because I woke up one morning and started dry heaving....I thought I must have caught a stomach bug, but now I'm pretty sure it was the pills. The nausea is starting to go away, and I am able to eat again."


"I have it all...anxiety, depression and insomnia.  Sometimes I can be anxious in the morning, depressed in the afternoon. Have tried Wellbutrin/Cymbalta combination, Pristiq, Viibryd, Effexor, and every SSRI.  I definitely felt an improvement with Cymbalta/Wellbutin and Pristiq, but not 100% myself.  Remeron has been a God send to me.  It works fast; dare I say I am in a good mood again after only three days. I was a bit tired in the morning, but I will gladly take some fatigue to rid of the anxiety and depression, and I hear this goes away in time.  As far as the weight gain, I have always been a good eater and go to the gym, so if my appetite increases (it hasn't as of yet) I will just have to monitor it. So far, it's been great."


"I have taken Zoloft since I was 21 years old. I'm now 36. I've struggled with anxiety since late in high school.  Zoloft is not the 100% answer to anxiety, but it does help. When I use it consistently it helps with anxiety attacks, helps your mind from wondering about the meaningless things around you that would normally start you on the path to another anxiety attack. If you choose to seek medical advice about taking Zoloft make sure you continuously stay on it. In my experience at times when I've forgotten, my prescription ran out and I don't have it I've found I'm OK for 3-4 days. After several days I notice a strange dizzy spell of sorts, a pulsing in my ears, to where I just want to lie down. I'm sure it's just an imbalance in my body."


"I have a frontal Lobe injury along with PTSD and Panic Disorders. I took 1 mg of Xanax QID (4) per day as directed for 16 years. I asked to be removed while in the Hospital. And put on K-pin. I have suffered for two years now on K-pin TID (3) per day. Not good. I have a very bad Doctor, that I feel that shouldn't practice Medicine. He won't listen to concerns and has never given me a physical."


"I live in the high desert of Central Oregon and have sensitive skin problems on my fingers and thumbs due to the elevation and dryness. I have found that by wrapping a piece of the tape over the end of my finger or thumb overnight helps heal the red soreness.  It is much better than any of the lotions.  The only problem is that it sticks to itself and thus can be difficult to cut and apply."


"Best birth control I've tried. Super comfortable and easy to use. I've had zero side effects. No weight gain, and I have clear skin! No issues with sex either. I've been on it for 2 years and there's been no changes in my sex drive. Give it a try! It changed my life for the better. Don't let the bad reviews scare you!"


"Works well and is one of my to go-to antihistamines. However it is very sedating and is also not long-lasting. It would work great for someone with insomnia as a milder sleep-aid, but for my use I would say that it works, but makes you sedated."


"This medication is very very dangerous. I took it for only three days before I became depressed, raging and suicidal. It is two months later and I have been in the psych ER three times, and I am still struggling and now on mood stabilizers. Before I took this medication I was fine. Please Google "prednisone psychiatric side-effects" before you take this medication. This should have a black box  warning on it, but for reasons I don't understand the FDA doesn't make them put one on there. It is known to cause extreme psych side-effects in up to 5% of the people who take it. Please avoid what happened to me and read before you start taking it. There are plenty of peer-reviewed clinical articles about it."


"Works great for allergies. I mean AMAZING. My only issue is if I miss a dose, within 12-24 hours I get symptoms of a sinus infection."


"I took 10 mg. of Farxiga daily for about 8 months.  The good news was that I did not suffer any negative side effects, other than a slight increase in frequency of urination.  The bad news is that after 8 months use, Farxiga did NOT lower my blood glucose - my A1C levels went up, in fact, during that time period.  And Farxiga did not help reduce my weight.  My endocrinologist suggested I stop taking this med, and I did."


"Welbutrin seems to help reduce impulsive behavior such as cigarette smoking."


"Since taking Klonopin (past 4 months) for my migraines, which I get at least twice a week, I have had a significant decrease in the either the length of the migraine or the severity of the migraines.  Although, I still get them just as often, I am now able to function and get through the pain without having to stay in bed with no lights and no sound most of the time.  I still have very severe ones at times but having a 50-60% improvement is very significant for me as I have been suffering with migraines for over 25 years now.  I would certainly recommend giving it a try for those having frequent, debilitating migraines."


"My acne got worse and so did my moods.

The only thing that was good about it is I was less hungry. I wouldn't recommend it for acne, but for birth control I would."


"Monistat 3 sucks. I am up right now at 2:56 am writing this review so that you all know not to buy this product. I am currently laying in bed with severe burning down there! I am not pleased at all, this is my first out of 3 days, I don't think I will follow up the "treatment". I read that eating yogurt can clear it up, I'd rather try that then go on with this product."


"I used Lisinopril for seven days.  I am diabetic and am on an insulin pump.  I maintain good control of my blood sugar.  My normal blood sugar is range is between 95 & 130.  A day after starting on Lisinopril my blood sugar readings were between 225 & 375.  My blood sugar remained extremely elevated the seven days I was taking this medication.  After I stopped using Lisinopril my blood sugars returned to normal readings within 1.5 days.  "


"Side effects for the first five weeks were unpleasant for me. I would get extremely tired and irritable and it upset my stomach.  Then I started to feel great after about 8 weeks at 20mg and I was always extremely happy. Then at around 10 weeks I leveled off and just felt normal. My moods were blah and still are. But I must say I have come a long way and it is working. Would like to come off of it just to remind myself that I need to be on it."


"I took Caduet which contains Lipitor for two years and had leg cramps and developed a chronic cough with asthma. I got off the medication and started taking Crestor 5mg  and I love it. No cramps no cough and it lowered my cholesterol even at the reduced dosage."


"Ive been on this medication about 3 months. At first I was scared to take it. The reviews are terrible but i have tried alot of other meds without success. I started off taking it at night but I would wake up so sore that i didnt want to move the next day. So i switched to taking it in the mornings and that symptom went away. I also had constipation pretty bad the first month but that symptom went away too. My husband noticed a change in me first.  The side effects eventually went away. I upped my prescription from 30mg to 60mg after one month. Some side effects came back but again they eventually went away. I have to say this has been the best depression medicine I have been on for depression. But it hasnt done much for my social anxiety."


"Headaches, lower back pain, visual problems, increased reflux, foot swelling, fatigue"


"I am a lucky one that hasn't experienced any side effects. I am on my 3rd month and don't have any cig cravings. I think I will probably stop taking chantix before I am done with my 3rd month. I highly recommend Chantix to help you quit! I have tried everything else with no luck. Thank you Chantix for making my life and those around me healthier."


"This is the best!!   I've been using it for 4 years and it is absolutely the best solution for AK's.  I am 60 years old, fair skin, been outside for years and developed way too many AK's, not to mention basal and squamous problems too.   For years, the dermatologist only used spot nitrogen and prescribed caramac.     I can only assume she didn't prescribe efudex because she needed the steady income stream from me and my insurance.     By chance I was having a physical from my family doctor.   He asked me when I was going to address my AK;s on forehead.   I told him I did, and he told me he could write me a prescription for medicine that solves it, efudex.  He did and I amazed at the ending results.  Yes, the efudex was painful, looked bad when it was working but results speak for them self"


"In Dec 2012, I was diagnosed with HIV.  After another 2 weeks of testing, I was found to have a Viral Load (VL) of 10,000 and CD4 of 700.  I was very sad, but thankful I found this early.  By the time my Dr. referred me to a specialist, 1 month had passed.  In Jan 2013, my VL was 27,000 and CD4 was 680.  I wanted to go on antiretrovirals as soon as possible.  On Jan 15th, 2012, after 2 weeks of waiting for more test results, I started taking Atripla.  On Jan 18th, I had my VL and CD4 rechecked.  My VL was undetectable, and my CD4 was still at 680.  Literally, in 54 hours, my VL had went to undetectable.  Its now June 2013, and my VL is still undetectable, however, my CD4 count has not increased (670). The first few days are rough, but its been smooth sailing since."


"It is very good and I have great pleasure when using it."


"Latuda was good at demolishing my hallucinations. I took Latuda for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. However it didn't help my mood- it made it worse. Brought me either mad or deeply and dangerously depressed. It also made me have a large allergic reaction in my mouth, sores and bleeding."


"I absolutely loved my Implanon, and I can't wait to get my new one put in. Even though I did gain some weight when I had my first one put in it was no more than 5-10 pounds but I don't blame the birth control for that. I just had my baby a year ago and I have been waiting for the right time to get it put back in. I love it."


"Had a number of complicating issues preventing prolonged erections. Felt bad for my wife. Took 10 mg for the first time last night and OMG! It was amazing. Lasted as long as I wanted and amazingly hard. Woke up this morning ready for more but my wife wasn't ha...ha. Going to skip to work today."


"This medicine was covered for me by Worker's Compensation when I was taking it, but they decided that they would not pay for it any longer. This decision was made and introduced statewide and Doctors were instructed to prescribe something else for their patients. It has been a TERRIBLE decision because pills are not nearly as effective as the patches, and sadly I am not financially capable of paying for the patches myself.  I would love to have the patches back, they are an excellent product."


"Low dose 25mg at bedtime for back pain/buldging discs-It works great!! No more daily motrin 800 which means no more daily nexium!!!"


"Gabapentin has not helped with my pain situation, in fact it has been giving me headaches, dizziness, unsteadiness, and pain in my side."


"Missed a birth control pill on the 9th day of my packet and took Plan B 24 hrs later. The condom split during sex 4 days later and I really panicked and took the morning after pill 14 hours later. I had every pregnancy symptom you could imagine I had myself convinced I was! I'm only 18 and was so scared of what might happen, but my withdrawal bleed came today one day early, although it is lighter than it usually is.. Rest assured this pill really works don't worry yourself sick like I did."


"If you're reading this and feel that deep, heavy depression in your chest that makes you feel empty inside and like nothing matters, I want to tell you that it does get better and to hang in there. It won't always be like that and you'll be able to see beauty again, but you'll need to be patient and kind to yourself. I felt like that for several months before I had the courage to take Lexapro (it's my first antidepressant) and I truly wish I wouldn't have waited as long as I did. I worked up from 5 mg to 15 over 2 months and I never experienced side effects, except the first few days upping the dosage where I was sleepy. My libido has increased because I feel well enough now to have an interest in it. Please know that there is hope."


"Lithium works wonders to stabilize my mood. Only negative is some hair loss and acne."


"I have been using bontril for 7.5 weeks with only a 6lb weight loss following a great diet of protein, fruits, and vegetables.  I just phoned my physician's office and informed them that I plan on taking myself off of the medication secondary to severe constipation, headaches, insomnia, fatigue, and frequent urination.  I have been off the medication for 5 days and feel so much better.  I didn't realize the potential cardiac complications until today.  Oh well, live and learn!  Good luck to all!!"


"I have suffered almost all my life (childhood to 52 years old) with anxiety, mood swings, rage, muscle aches, irritable bowel, teeth clenching, heart palpitations, etc, etc, etc.  I have been called a hypochondriac.  This is the first time I have taken this medicine and it has helped minimize or completely elevate my symptoms.   I just wish I was given this earlier in my life. It would have saved me from a whole lot of suffering."


"Works well , but only short time .
Maybe. 2 hours max...

I'm a recent liver transplant patient 7 wk. post-op."


"Ok I got my implant in April 2015 .Since I got it implanted I have not had a period. It's now October 2015. My periods before I got the implant were regular ever month from 3-5 days. Before the birth control I had beautiful skin. I never broke out on my face not even as a teenager. I'm 29 now. Since I had the implant my face is always broken out with a lot of bumps all over my face. My weight has went up.  I have no urge what so ever to have sex. I also get depressed and have major mood swings. Sometimes I get mad for no reason. I also feel fatigue at times and sleep way more. My husband  wants me to take it out. He has noticed all the side effects..The only reason I have kept it in so long is because I don't get a period. I don't recommend."


"Celexa is a literally a magic pill, for me. 20 minutes, tops & I feel like myself again. I've been taking it for about 4 years for 1 or 2 months a couple of times a year. The holidays are always bad. I get so sick of crying all the time. Sobbing, actually. I've tried a few other antidepressants but nothing works like Celexa. For me. May not be for everyone. Other people may need to take Celexa for a longer or more regular period of time & it can take up to 2-3 weeks for the medication to completely work, for a lot of people. Ask your doctor & give it a try."


"Fast acting with no spikes after dinner. Easy to use. This should effect my A1C. I can't wait to see the numbers."


"I have been taking this medicine for my ADHD and in the first couple of days I have lost five pounds. I don't know if this is normal and I am trying to find that out. I also have stomach aches all day long with loss of appetite. I'll get lightheaded some times. But it does help me concentrate on what I am doing and say focused."


"Monistat 7 is great. It does not cause burning like the 1 or 3 day version. It might be the burning everyone has experienced may be because you have a bacterial infection instead. Just make sure when using Monistat 7, that you are in fact treating a yeast infection. Good luck!"


"This medicine kept me wired all night long and I only took half of a teaspoon. My mind was racing!  No cough though!  Did some of my best thinking! Felt extremely tired the next day!  Would be great in the day for me rather than at night."


"I have just completed a year of use of effient with no trouble except bruising some times lifting weights or aggressive exercise. I had two stints one on each side of my heart. Right side first fix with clots and 98 % blockage. Second long stint on left side 4 days later to fix for good. No real problems except prostrate went baseball size and I went on flomax. I was taking saw palmetto two plus gel caps a day before heart attack. Cold turkey or all the drugs in surgery and after may have brought on prostrate problem or exacerbation. All in all things are perfect now. Thanks."


"Started the Starter Pack with 12.5 mg Savella mornings and evenings 7 days ago, and I am currently taking 2x 25 mg/day now. It has helped somewhat with my tiredness and my pain level has reduced a little bit. However I expect better results once I am on a 2x 50 mg/day.

I believe it is a drug that takes quite a while before getting the full benefit as it does not work like a narcotic painkiller."


"I developed severe shoulder pain in both shoulders after about 5 days. The doctor assured me it wasn't the Vyvanse. Well after 2 weeks of severe pain I thought I'd do my own google search and found plenty of people complaining about vyvanse causing joint pain. I stopped taking vyvanse as soon as I read these forums where people described their joint pain. After 3 days 80% of the pain was gone and it took about a month before 95% was gone. My left shoulder now 'clicks' and often I wake up and my left shoulder is in a position where it's very painful. I wish the doctor would go over all side effects when then prescribe medication so you know when something starts to happen that it is the medication."


"If you are thinking about taking this, do not do it. Ask your doctor for something else, anything else. Effexor is horrible. I was put on it due to Depression and Generalised Anxiety. Within the first few weeks I was emotionally numb, I wasn't sad anymore but I couldn't feel happiness. Six months later, while still on this I became suicidal and self harming, my heart rate started increasing due to my anxiety to the point where I was hospitalised. After that it was decided I was so come off it, now coming off it is even worse then being on it, shaking, dizziness, headaches, puking, sweating. I've only been off it a week and already I can feel my mental health calming down. Avoid this drug. Please. For your own safety."


"I've been taking Lo Loestrin for 6 months and I love it. I ran out & had a sample pack of Minastrin and thought,"what could one month hurt? I'll save $25!" Stupid. Never again. I've been nauseous since the first pill, with daily stomach troubles. My breasts are so sore. But the worst is the anxiety/depression. I've started waking in the middle of the night with panic attacks and feel anxious pretty much 24/7. I'm going back on Lo Loestrin tomorrow. Minastrin & I are breaking up for good. We are no longer friends"


"Taking it at 100 mg.  Didn't like the dizzy feeling.  Started taking it at night, much better but I feel it building up in my system over time.  I wish I could take half or 3/4 as much but it is not available in those doses.  I have absorption issues and the liquid form is great except I can't cut it in half.  I do like what it does for my thinking, digestion, emotions etc  but over time irritability, heavy-dreaming, pregnant-like feeling build-up.  I am a small woman about 110lbs, 5 feet and wish smaller doses were available.  A little bit goes a long way."


"So about five months ago or so I asked my esthetician for some Retin-A (tretinoin) cream and she gave me the 1% concentration. I had moderate acne when I was younger, but I didn't leave it alone. Haha. I picked at it, and so I have some "mild" (Or so I'm told -I think it's terrible!) scarring now even though my acne went away with age. I'm 25 now. Acne went away at about 19. Some are pockmarks, and others just discoloration and a little uneven texture.

I jumped straight to everyday use. Expected irritation and redness, but none came. My (sensitive) skin handled it awesomely. Product works great. Skin peels off every morning. Haha. Scars are fading nicely. Pockmarks much less depressed. I get compliments on my skin now!"


"I've taken Sprintec for almost 2 years now, and I honestly don't have any complaints. I guess everyone's body is different because I don't see why everyone is complaining about it!"


"Effective drug, 12 hour thing is a pain as is the eating discipline. Must affect hemoglobin levels as feeling tired is an issue. Any effort i.e., walking up a slight incline can make you feel nauseous. Can't complain because it works for me."


"One of the best cought suppresants"


"On Prozac for 6 months. Never been better."


"I was administered Dilauded in the ER after having suffered a copperhead bite to the ankle. They administered the antivenin and morphine with phenergan (sp?) and returned after about 10 minutes to check my pain level-- no effect. The dilauded didn't completely stop the pain, but it definitely took the edge off. This was my first expirence taking any narcotic-- so both the morphine and dilauded caused the "whoooosh" sensation, stomach dropped, body felt very heavy... But that sensation was much greater with dilauded. Shortly after getting the Dilauded I started vomiting pretty heavily-- but no way to know if that was the venom, antivenom, morphine, or dilauded. Lesson learned, don't step on a snake!"


"Just don't mistake Uricalm Intensive for Uricalm!  I grabbed the box in a rush and when I got home phenazopyridine the ingredient that stops the burning and pain is not in the Intensive.  "


"Hi, I loved this product, it did get too pricey, BUT I found out if you get it at planned parenthood its only $25! Hope this helps !!!"


"I'm a 39 yo, 5'5 female and I've been taking Contrave since August 2015. My starting weight was 267 and I'm currently at 216, 51lbs loss. I've never felt better. I did have a little nausea in the beginning, but it passed after I began 4 pills a day. I would take a non drowsy Dramamine to help. I follow a 1200 calorie diet. I have done little to no exercise to this point. I do have constipation but I take miralax to offset that. I highly recommend Contrave. It does have a few side effects, but nothing that can't be tolerated to get to you weight goal!! Good luck :)"


"I have officially never been so stressed out in my life. I took Plan B within 10 hours of unprotected sex. A couple days went by and I felt nothing. On the 5th day I had really weird cramps on my right side under my hip bone which lasted for about 3 days. Then I got really weird brown discharge. Then I started spotting a little bit. On the 10th day I felt so nauseated they had to send me home at work. I ended up throwing up and then got my period 30 minutes later. Needless to say the pill did work, but I hope to never have to take it again."


"For post-chemo nausea, this works better than ondanestron (Zofran) for me."


"Just switched to Trulance 3 weeks ago. First 3 days and nothing changed and then it magically started working.  I was on lizness for past 14 months, but I was continuing to have such unbearable diarrhea and abdominal pain. This drug isn't perfect but pain has subsided considerably and diarrhea is almost non existent. Keeping the faith that it continues to do well."


"It works very well but costs about $150.00 for 30 day supply."


"I have had Nexplanon in since March 2013 and I really love it. I had a regular period (5 days) a week after I got it put in, and since I've only spotted twice, each so light I only had to use a liner, and only lasted for a day. But, I've gained about 15 pounds (no appetite change, that's the weird part) and had to start using acne face washes (not bad, I just wash my face with it in the shower and then use an oil free moisturizer). Overall, I think its great and such an easy process putting it in, and then you don't have to worry about it. I recommend it highly, but be prepared to have a few side effects."


"Imitrex works wellto rid me of my migraines a few hours after I have taken it, but the side effects for me are pretty bad. It makes me feel really weird and it seems like my whole body is achy and muscles are burning. Of course, the side effects that I get from this medicine is nothing compared to a full blown migraine hence why I've been taking it all these years. I will be talking with my doctor at my next visit though about switching medicines because I'm sick of feeling like crap after taking it."


"Works great - side effects minimal"


"I recently just started using this product because my face was really breaking out with large pimples and I can tell you all from life experience that it works!!! My face has already cleared up after a week and eventhough my face is peeling bad, I still rate the product almost a 10."


"I started taking Phentermine 37.5 on February 27, 2014 and so far I have lost 13 pounds. When I first started I was VERY jittery with huge pupils. Now that time has gone on, I am feeling much better. I do have horrible mood swings and can be fine one minute and snap on you the next. Other than that, I am very impressed with the weight loss. My Dr. did inform me that the second month I may not see as much change. I am determined to prove her wrong."


"Good."


"I started taking Yasmin/generic brand in January 2017. I was put on anti-depressants at the same time. The first one was citalopram. I blamed it for my feeling out of it and depressed. After reading some of these comments I realize it possibly was the Yasmin. I'm not sure about anyone else but I have uncontrollable, teary, depression during the 2nd week of the pills. I am at a point where I will probably change because this is not good for my mental health. As awful as this medication is for my mental health, it has been helpful in lowering my flow and cramps. That's the only bright side of this medication for me."


"69 years old, had problem for 9 years mostly in cold weather. Able to sleep after first application. Nearly gone after one week so far so good."


"Combined with Remeron, it initially lifted my mood for a few days, but it made me too tired to function when I took it during the day. Also, it may have contributed to seriously compulsive eating (though Remeron is implicated in that too). The worst aspect was this weird agitation in my brain. It felt like there was a traffic jam of thoughts every so often and this went away when I stopped taking the drug. Everyone's brain is different though. "


"AH-mazing! I used this as a little girl for a muffler burn (2nd and 3rd degree). It healed without even leaving a scar. I am using it now for burns suffered from falling into an outdoor propane heater; 2nd degree burns on my back and forearm. I am praying for the same amazing results! This medication is a God send."


"I take the XR, and it allows me to focus throughout the day at work and in classes. I can actually sit down and complete a task, I can get something done (for once), and the only side effects I really experienced were a bit of dry mouth at first and some continued loss of appetite. Otherwise, completely effective. Unfortunately, my insurance company only covers the brand name. Otherwise, it would be much, much cheaper. It's the brunt of my monthly prescription costs."


"Although this medicine works wonders for some and not so well for others, I have found that it has helped me a great deal.  It is truly a miracle for me.  Without it I would not be the person that I am today. I was put on this medicine when it was barely out of the lab. It has totally changed my life. I love it!"


"I used this product once before and was fine. Took care of the infection with almost no burning at all.  A few months later I got another yeast infection, so naturally I bought what worked before. Just help me. What ensued was a trip I wish I had never embarked on. I inserted the pill a few hours before bed time and felt no pain or burning. Upon sitting down to pee after an hour of having the ovule in I noticed a ton of discharge had appeared from the “less mess ovule”
I cleaned myself up and continued on getting ready for bed. I sat down and THE BURNING AND ITCHING BEGAN. I couldn’t sit still.
IT HAS NOT STOPPED FOR THE LAST HOUR.
I have tried washing it off and attempting to scoop some out. I read the reviews and ignored. HEED THE PROPHECY !!!"


"I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome 2 months ago by my OBGYN. Earlier this year I began to experience a number of odd symptoms such as.

1.Severe mood swings
2.Skipped periods
3.Extreme bloating
4.Mild acne
5.Diminished libido

I was put on Sprintec and the first 2 weeks where HELL. I experienced nausea (lost 5 lbs) I couldn't keep anything down it was out of control! Mood became worse. I was ready to call my doctor and ask her to put me on something else but after the nausea subsided (around week 3) I decided to complete the 3 month trial period. Currently on Month 2 and after my first period I felt better than ever! Mood  energy and sex drive are at an all time high.  I will definitely stay on Sprintec."


"I have had a fantastic experience with Cryselle.  I take the pill before I go to bed every night, and have never had a side effect.  I have been on Cryselle for 26 months, and have never gotten pregnant.  Prior to taking Cryselle, my cycle was random and rarely hit at the same time each month, but since being on the birth control, my cycle is constant.  I highly recommend this birth control."


"Honestly I absolutely love it!!! Its the only pills that have worked for me"


"Loss of taste and balance. I fell off my bike three times. Do not take this if you are an active person. AVOID AVOID AVOID!"


"I've tried Tenuate 2 years ago to lose weight. It WORKED then and now I'm older and have high blood pressure and a bad back so I needed a boost again! Still works the same in lowering my hunger, lost 5 lbs in 2 days! 35lbs more to go and I'm VERY confident I'm going to succeed. Mine are 75 mg. No side effects with the exception of dry mouth. I drink more water."


"I was prescribed Amitriptyline 10mg nightly for nerve pain. I have had spinal surgery involving a C5/6 discectomy, while C4/5 and C6/7 are prolapsed. With the C6/7 prolapse worsening the pain through my neck, upper back, shoulder and arm was becoming unbearable. Although the initial pain at the C6/7 disc site has not completely gone (due to the disc nearing surgery stage) I have found it gave me great relief from my peripheral pain allowing me to get some sleep. The side effects in the first few days was a bit of confusion, felt a bit dizzy and tired, my husband saw me through the first couple of days, it was worth it. I have had cortisones and am now coming off all tablets. Headaches, but not bad."


"I do not obsess over alcohol like I used to. On occasion when I have wanted a glass of wine, I take it approximately an hour prior and can actually drink like a normal person (1-2 glasses vs. 1-2 bottles).  This medication is a God send."


"This medication worked very well for me. The taste is awful but what I usually do is stick the pill in the back of my tongue and swallow. I find this easiest to do so I don't have to taste the medication as much. Following the instructions that your doctor gives you is very important and for this particular medication do not take with an alcoholic beverage( well at least I was told not to). I was prescribed 500mg taking 1tab twice a day for a week. This is my 2nd time having bv within 3 months I'm not sure why it came back but I will ask my gyno for more ways to prevent it. I can say excess discharge come along from taking this medication but I don't think it should be of any concern."


"I've been using Yaz since July. First box, I have tonnes of side effects. I had a nausea, I was feeling very weak, I was fatigue and super sleepy all the time. After two weeks, nausea was gone. I has irregular bleeding which was gone on the third box. i gained 2kg, but I am not sure it's really related to Yaz. However, since from the first day, I am definitelly in a depression. I tend to cry without a reason a lot. I am super anxious about very little things. I definitely overreact emotionally. I am feeling hopeless and so on. After I am sure this depression which came with Yaz is not going, my doctor gave me other one which I will start soon."


"Taken this medication 3 times and has worked every time. Would recommend to anyone who is trying to avoid a pregnancy if an accident occurs. Worth $50 and a peace of mind. Dont worry your period will come be patient"


"Sensational medication. Provigil taken alone for my narcolepsy kept me awake and alert when needed yet allowed me to take my short nap(s) through out the day when needed."


"i take this every other month when i get constipated, took one last night because i didn't have a bm or 5 days, figured it would be like all my other dulcolax experiences, just bearable cramps and stuff, but I WAS WRONG. I woke up at around 11 with the worst stomach cramps ever, i barely made it to the toilet, no bm, just the cramps. I started to sweat buckets I'm not even kidding, like the sweat just dripped like i just finished an hour of interval training. sat for around 20 mins w/ nothing but the PAIN thought i was gonna die. the weird part tho was that i fell asleep (or maybe passed out idk) i just woke up and felt like I slept for 30 mins. thought it was over but got another wave of cramps and then finally had bm."


"Takes few days and then it helps with congestion and stuffiness short term.  I do not stay on it past 1-2 weeks due to side effects, prone to infection, dizziness, etc. Overall a good med for me."


"My only concern seems to be i am moody and get irritated easily."


"For first time in my life, I can feel how beautiful life is. I used to think the only thing can help is to die. Everything was dark around me. But now it's like a different world for me. I so am happy. I don't get mad and upset.Now when I am writing theses sentences my eyes fill with tear."


"I was recently in a bad car accident and while I wasn't severely injured, I was left with terrible pain in my back and shoulders.  Demerol has been the main thing that's helped me to cope with my injuries and allow me to sleep at night.  I am so grateful that my doctor suggested that I take it."


"Was on Junel Fe and it worked according to my needs...which was to have a lighter more manageable PERIOD or no PERIOD at all. After taking Junel for a year, all was well. Upon my renewal, I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription to be told that Junel Fe had been recalled or discontinued, but Blisovi was the same medication. IT IS NOT! Where my cycle had been light to non existent, never experienced cramping even before being on birth control, I have now been on Blisovi since the end of October 2016 and my cycle has gone haywire! Sudden unexpected menstruation, including severe cramping is not the answer! Had me over here thinking about getting on Depo, but I feel that is not the answer either. I am contacting my doctor immediately!"


"I am a 20 year old male. I have taken  Vyvanse to help me focus better on my tasks and also to improve my concentration. Vyvanse is a wonderful medication with very little negative side effects. "


"Lexapro has completely changed my life. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 daughters under the age of 2 and my husband works very long hours. I had desperate feelings of isolation and sadness. I waited 2 months before going to the doctor because I wasn't sure that I had a problem, and after feeling the effects of Lexpapro I can now see that I obviously needed help. Lexapro makes me feel like I am able to breathe again and handle the situations in my life that cause me so much anxiety. Side effects- I am tired/sleepy all day long. I drink coffee and that helps. I should have started this medication years ago for other anxiety issues I now realize I have, after being on Lexapro. If you suspect you have postpartum depression, see your doctor!"


"Must of been allergic,  made me itch"


"I started Adipex 37.5 mg once daily on Jan 17 2011, and weighed in at 212. My third month I went in for my check up and gained 167. That's a total of 45lbs. I watched what I ate and exercised. YOU CAN NOT EAT WHAT YOU WANT AND DO NOTHING AND EXPECT THE WEIGHT JUST TO COME OFF. YOU WILL GAIN THE WEIGHT RIGHT BACK. This is intended to teach you how to watch what you eat and let your stomach shrink so you'll fill fuller with smaller meals. This has seriously saved my life and I'm still going. My doctor put me on another 3 months since my resistance hadn't started yet. But you must diet and exercise or else you'll gain it all back. "


"After a week of suffering constant pain, itching and burning, I finally made a doctor appointment and he prescribed this.    Went from constant pain to practically pain free within about 10 minutes!   I can't say enough good about this product.   I just wish I had gone to the doctor earlier in the week!"


"I've been on Trinessa for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier. I always start my period on a Tues or Wed and only last till Sunday and very light. It is also very inexpensive. I pay $4/month for a pack. When I first started the only side effect I had was a little bit of weight gain (3-4lbs). It definitely helped clear up my skin but I do get the occasional zit here and there. I still have a little bit of cramping before my period but doctor says that is normal and no pill can really prevent that. Just the natural part of the body. I haven't had any changes with side effects over the years and it has definitely done its job of preventing pregnancy. I would highly recommend it to others!"


"I have gained about 5 to 8 pounds since I have been taking this medicine."


"My first review on here. Prescribed 25mg to be taken during an anxiety attack. Took it twice, once at night and once during a morning spell. It didn't do anything good but it didn't do anything bad either. From the rest of the reviews, it looks like it either works great or not at all. There doesn't seem to be much harm in trying."


"I have no evident side effects. However, I get flushed very quickly when I am out in the sun, even for the shortest time period. I seem to burn faster also."


"I'm 22 year old female. I was on Vyvanse 60mg, but side effects were getting bad. Switched to Invuniv, only made it through 2 weeks of it. It made me very sleepy, sluggish, and cranky (could have been withdrawals of the Vyvanse). I could not wait for it to kick in for another 2 weeks as recommended. "


"Did wonders for my pain."


"For me, this is/was a very effective hypnotic. It literally saved my life when I had lost my ability to sleep due to a damaged CNS. I started off at 25 mgs per night and eventually increased my dosage up to 50 mgs per night. Over time I was able to cut my dosage down to ~6 1/4 mgs per night before moving on to a more desirable hypnotic. The biggest down side is its anticholinergic effects...nothing like waking up with a mouth full of sand."


"I took it for acute bronchitis, it worked in getting me heathy.. but after I would take the medicine I would get horrific migraines. They would start about an hr or so after taking it and would have me suck in bed. We'll look to other antibiotics in the future."


"Incredible change within days of use. Highly recommend!"


"I had a csection 6 weeks ago and everything is still trying to go back to normal. Take a day off for this stuff! It worked in about 5 hours for me. Grape is delicious. First came the plug, then muddy water 3 or 4 times, then mushy, sticky yuck. Then muddy water. This stuff is serious! Be sure to drink water as it directs on bottle and you'll need baby wipes and A&D ointment for your butt."


"I took Embrel for several years before switching to Humira.  I liked the thought of synthetic mouse protein over live mouse protein...plus I was having terrible injection site reactions to Enbrel.  Humira almost killed me.  I developed a severe jaw bone infection.  Was hospitalized for days with IV antibiotics...almost died.  I developed severe Central Nervous Symptoms...was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis...was Multiple Sclerosis, but the Humira reaction mimicked that.  I lost almost a 100 pounds in 6 weeks (the only perk) and had the MS symptoms for 6 months.  Six years later, I still have the CNS symptoms, if I get a fever.  This drug left lesions in my brain and my spine and that's why I get recurring CNS symptoms."


"Lete start by saying I've used this birth control method for 4 years going on 5, before they changed the name from implanon to nexplanon. I've had it replaced of course, I loved it initially but then I noticed I'd get extremely sad and I went from wanting to have sex all the time to being like don't touch me and it's sad.

That's not even the worst part, I've had a period last 2 months no stop. Ovarian cysts came shortly after that. I've had no real weight issues but I'd rather the weight to all this extra bull.

I will be getting mine removed in the coming month and do an update on how my life has changed post implant"


"Have used this drug for several years - I started when Alesse was no longer carried by my pharmacy.  I have not had any problems at all.  It is also very inexpensive."


"I used this for every infection, now the sad part is I am resistant. I used the whole 5 day dose, felt a lot better, then the infection came back a week later."


"I was on depo for only a few months, I will say your better off being pregnant. You feel every symptom of pregnancy and even get a prego tummy. Seriously everyone asks me if I am pregnant. Its so embarrassing, The symptoms are the worst. I've had the worst acne break out. Pains in my stomach. I can't stop gaining weight in my stomach. Good news is it does prevent pregnancy, but its honestly not worth everything you go through. Like those weird medications that say you may die but its 60% effective. All I am saying is depo will change your life and in a not so lucky way. I would have rather of just been pregnant. Instead I look and feel pregnant with no baby. Mind you I am a skinny person very petite, its extremely noticeable"


"I have had restless leg for quite a few years and was on on Oxycodone for pain and noticed it helped the restless leg at night, but a friend had me try tramadol and worked well, told my doctor and now I take it at night 100 to 150 mg."


"I am a 18 yo girl and diagnosed for depression. My 1st week with 10 mg Lexapro is beyond horrible: depression got worse, heart racing, sharpened negative thoughts, and no motivation at all when wake up in the morning. I cant concentrate and feel as if I wanna cry most of the time. It lingers till evening and tapers off toward night. At night, I feel euphoric. No problem with sleeping and weight gain. But since my depression got worse, doctor decided to double my dose to 20 mg. 2nd week was even worse: nightmare every night, fatigue, lethargic, gases in stomach. In 3rd week, it finally helps!! Negative thoughts went away and I feel lightheaded. Side effect: emotion numbness, sleepy, lazy. But overall this medicine is a true miracle."


"I work nights in the Emergency Department as an RN at a large, very busy trauma center and have been for the past three years. This medication has been a lifesaver in terms of maintaining alertness throughout my shift without the shakes and nervous feeling like being overdosed on caffeine pills or energy drinks. I take the 250mg pill 1-2 hours before my shift at 7 pm and it carries me throughout the night. I used to take Provigil 100mg for two years before Nuvigil came out and found that I was taking up to 200mg doses a night. Nuvigil is great because it is cheaper, even with insurance and seems to last longer. I only take it four times a week when I work and that three day off time provides enough time for my body to not get used to it."


"Was prescribed this for tension headaches.  It does something, but it makes me dizzy and light headed.  It seems to start working nearly immediately (reduces the pain by like 50-75%), but after not too long the headache will start slowly creeping back over the course of the next few hours.   I actually have a headache I've been attempting to treat with it right now and so far I've taken 7 pills over the course of 26 hours and it's still here."


"I'm a 64 yr old female and have been on 0.05 mgs of Xanax four times daily as needed.  I don't always use four but have found that it has helped me a lot.  I sometimes wonder if I'll be on it for the rest of my life because I realize the older I become it may or may not affect me differently.  I know it's addictive but since most of my anxiety is genetic related I feel I must stay on it. "


"Spintec isn't making me have  mood swings or depressed but I've only been on it for three weeks and I've already gained 15 pounds and had really bad acne and dry skin which I never had before !"


"Excellent treatment.  I had a blood test during my 8th week after taking Epculsa and the hep c was not detected. Gilead issue a coupon that reduced my co pay to five dollars.  The only side effect I had was being more tired than usual but it did not limit me to doing whatever I needed to do.  The tiredness was not severe. I got the much needed rest that I needed. I had a great experience overall and excellent results I am currently in my 10th week"


"Took the burn away in my stomach but made my hands and fingers swell."


"So I've actually had this implant since I've been 15, and I'm by 18. When I first had it put in, I bled and spotted for 6 months, which I was warned would happen. After that my cycle was very irregular, either every couple weeks or couple months or even 4-5 months without. It is sometimes worrying going so long without one, because I always wonder if there's something else wrong. But I have to say I love the implant, it's super effective. I get no cramps or mood swings and my cycles are very light and last 2-4 days at most.  I would definitely recommend this."


"I got Skyla 2 days ago and was really nervous before my appointment because I read all of the reviews that same morning. I took 2 ibuprofen before. The application felt like a regular Pap smear at first and it lasted about 30 seconds, I was surprised when he said he was done. It was painful but bearable, I felt 3 extremely severe cramps and it was over after that. I've had cramps for the past 2 days, and they're nothing like the minor cramps I used to experience with my regular period. Loss of appetite and moody because of the cramps but it's not that bad."


"My youngest son has taken it for meltdowns for some time now. He sleeps better too. It has caused him to gain some weight. My oldest son was on ADHD medication for years, when he reached puberty it caused many problems. So the Doctor prescribed risperidone for him too, and it has helped him gain so much self control. They are both in high school and doing well."


"I have a new found love for this birth control after switching from it to Seasonique to get out of having a period every month. The Seasonique made me gain weight and I broke out horribly. Been back on Loestrin a week and the weight is gone, my face is back to normal, my poor breasts are coming back (this birth control makes my breasts go up at least a cup size, awesome side effect).

Beside the breast growth it has also not failed me as a birth control method, I'm always sure to take it exactly on time every day."


"It has literally made me who I am. If I didn't take it I wouldn't focus, I wouldn't pass school. It helps a lot."


"I took it for 5 days, and it seemed to help, but now 2 days after the last pills I'm in a lot of pain again.  Perhaps it would've been more effective had I been on it a few more days."


"This stuff works for me.  I am a very large man with a sinus system. When I am sick nothing works like Mucinex.  A good side affect in my opinion as I don't retain as much water in my limbs."


"I was diagnosed a Narcoleptic at 11 and have, in the past 54 years, eaten amphetamines...Ritalin, Provigil, Nuvigil, tried GHB therapy...any number of variations of stimulating drugs...ALL with the same result: they all work to a degree...then fail as my body adapts to them; and none, working at its best, would be considered to promote a "normal" pattern of sleep and wakefulness. I'm using Nuvigil at the moment; and, while I know it will ultimately fail, the effect is of relatively transparent action - wakefulness, with occasional moments of connectedness, awareness of an extraordinary degree. I can see why it would be easily abused, or combined with other substances for abuse. Space limitations at this site: I will make another post soon."


"Had been drinking in excess of of 15-20 cans of beer a day, for as long as can remember, no appetite, losing weight and throwing up every morning. Went through DT's last year - horrendous - sweats, shakes, hallucinations, had Librium, but too little too late and fell off the wagon very quickly. Finally had enough and went to see my doctor with the support of my wife, have been on a reducing dose of Libruim for a week now and never felt better, eating well, sleeping well, not throwing up every day and feeling more positive than I have for a long time. Drinking flavoured water and feeling good, I am going to concentrate on getting fit. Thanks to family, friends and GP for help and support."


"Since taking campral I have had no cravings for alcohol"


"Nothing else has worked for a chronic pain condition I have suffered with since a car accident in 1987 and several subsequent injuries. The hydrocodone drugs and Neurontin don't begin to touch the pain. I have been seeing a highly-rated and competent specialist for 4 years now, and we have tried many different medicines alone and combined.  Still the only long-term relief I have had in 22  years is from a combination of long-acting generic Oxycodone 80 mg. every 8 hours (or more expensive brand-name OxyContin if it isn't) and short-acting 30 mg tablets of immediate-release Oxycodone up to 1 every 4 hours. At last, I don't have to live out the rest of my life (I'm 62) in misery and actually find myself MORE active than I've been in years."


"I have been diagnosed with GAD, SAD, and depression. Before Wellbutrin I had only tried SSRI's like cymbalta and lexapro; they were TERRIBLE. I have gone untreated before trying those meds and they did nothing for my depression, just made me feel emotionally numb. The first 3 months on wellbutrin were terrible too, huge panic attacks all the time and my anxiety worsened. Now, this is my 6th month and I can proudly say that it is working!!! Compared to my pre-medicated self, I have more energy and am actually able to follow through with activities I wouldn't have thought of doing before. Most importantly, I'm finally not depressed!!! It took away that really tough barrier depression had on me that prevented me from enjoying my life."


"This drug was an experience in itself. The 1st night I got the restless legs syndrome and kept getting out of bed to go to the bathroom because I had this urge to urinate but... when I got there, couldn't. Then, the next day in the morning I felt whacked. Stoned. Then, I'd pick up after breakfast and my mind would race. I'd become manic. Which was enjoyable. Like an uber high. That bit was good. But kinda defeats the purpose ... so goodbye Saphris."


"I cannot say my experience with these medications- enbrel, humira, simponi & cimzia have been positive. For some odd reason my body is continually rejecting them. I end up with the uncommon/ rare side effects and have to stop using. Seems once I reach a 3 month mark is when the side effects start showing. My last trial has been with cimzia, which I began symptoms for the past month or more and my research doctor had told me my symptoms were not from the cimzia.This last injection I took 3 days ago, now has given me terrible swelling in my feet and lower legs. I am at a loss now.Seems there is nothing else on the Canadian market for A.S."


"The first dosage of Suprep went down ok at 4 PM. Not pleasant but not horrific. I thought, what is everyone complaining about this is a breeze. Then I got to the second dosage at 10 PM (per my doctor's orders) and gagged from the taste. Ultimately I threw up and had to call the doctor on call. I just had to take an alternative product, magnesium citrate OTC. "


"It took about 5 days to really start working, but then I really felt much better. For a few nights when I lay down I would cough , but that was because  it was clearing up . I had been sick for almost 3 months with a sinus infection and other  antibiotics did not help. I did have some sore tendons but not too bad. For sinus infections it's excellent. I took 500 milligrams for 10 days. 2/12/2017"


"I had a horrible experience with Topamax...I went 72 hours without getting any sleep when I started taking it. I got the tingly feeling, I couldn't sweat or cry, I was having hallucinationa at night time, I had the foggy feeling constantly and couldn't concentrate. I was a horrible mess. I was only on it for a couple of months before I stopped. It has been about 5 months since I stopped taking and I still constantly feel foggy, dizzy, off balance like I'm drunk. I do not feel like myself at all and I'm nervous that this medication has caused permanent  damage."


"This medication worked very well, however this is the most horrible tasting thing I've ever had...but if you take it with minute maid cherry limeade juice you taste absolutely nothing but the juice."


"I have plantar fasciatis in both feet which had changed my gait until I had bursitis in both hips and was in quite a bit of pain.  Within 24 hours the bursitis and pain in my feet had subsided!  I have no trouble getting around at all now and can take long walks without paying for it later.  Incredible!  Love them.  I use them on both insteps 24 hours a day."


"terrible pain continuously in shoulder arm neck legs macroBid side effects crying because of severity of pain depressing pain hope i am not permanately damaged bymacroBid will report to GP feelings of DOOM"


"My 10 year old son took Dulera for asthma.  In the 8 weeks that he took it he dropped from 62lbs to 56lbs.  He was tired all of the time to the point that he had to lay down often.  He is usually active all of the time."


"I have pretty bad anxiety, with some depression. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I feel like my life is falling apart, and it feels so real. When I take my lexapro, I feel so much better. It's just a baseline, it doesn't MAKE me happy, it just allows me to feel like a normal human. I'm most myself when I take my medicine because I can focus on things outside of my own stress and fears. It can make you a little nauseous at first, and I experience some insomnia the first few weeks, but it goes away. SO worth it."


"I've been a chronic pain patient for 13 years. I currently take 128 mgs of Exalgo ER daily and 1-2, 8mg Dilaudid IR PRN no more than 6 tabs per day. I'm very familiar with constipation. When offered movantik 25mg every morning, I happily took it and within a day I was going easily but with a cramp pain. After a few more days, my guts started killing me so I stopped taking movantik. 11 days later severe constipation returns. Doc and I think since I've such a high tolerance my gut experienced physical withdrawal so today starting on ~8mg (~1/3 of 25mg tab) every 2-3 days. Anyone else taking Movantik similarly?"


"I was given Tramadol after breaking my leg quite badly. At the time the pain was so severe lower strength painkillers wouldn't have been enough but I've now been left with an addiction to tramadol where I've been withdrawing gradually over months and it's now left me with a bad case of Restless Leg Syndrome!  To anyone who has never had this it's a horrible feeling where you can't rest or sleep properly because of the horrible feeling going through your legs, it feels like someone is tickling the inside of your leg and you can't sit still! I haven't slept properly in months now!"


"I've been on pain meds for 30  years. Changed to Opana ER 20 x 2. This made a large difference but still had breakthrough pain so DR added Opana IR 10mg. These I break up into thirds, halves, or quarters as needed.  I couldn't use Norco because of breathing problems. This dosage isn't perfect but I'm no longer whining every time I get in or out of the car. 2 major surgeries coming over the summer. I hope Opana continues to work."


"My Rheumatologist prescribed this for my rheumatoid arthritis and it is like a miracle for me. For the first time in several years I actually feel like getting out and doing things without restrictions. The joint pain has lessened and my rash subsided!  I do plan on making an appointment for an eye Dr. due to some irritations I recently have been experiencing. All in all, I would highly recommend Plaquenil and hope you can see and feel the difference."


"A little skeptical, moved from mini-pill (after a scare one month) to this one. So far I haven't gotten  a real period, but rather several short brownish spotting. Which fits me perfectly! Love it!"


"I am on my second implant. I've had an Implanon since I was 18, I am now 24. I think this is the best thing ever. No side effects for me. And I don't have to remember to take anything. Awesome!"


"I would recommend this birth control to everyone. I have been taking it for almost two years. My periods are light and only last for a few days. My cramps are very tolerable. I don't feel unusually moody or irritable. My breasts did increase in size from a B32 to a D32. My skin is pretty clear, and I did not gain any weight. I would never switch to another birth control!"


"Out of all the diet pills I have tried, phentermine has been the best yet. I have been on it for two weeks now and have lost 18 lbs.  I weighed in at 194 lbsmand now am 176 lbs.  I have energy now that can last me for days, I always feeling like running or doing something extremely active.  I've noticed that I'm not as hungry as I used to be. My goal is to lose 50 pounds before or by September of 2008.  I believe that I can reach this goal way before that time comes, if I keep it up."


"Unfortunately, I saw zero results. No change/help with appetite. No decreased cravings. Basically, no change with anything. Dry mouth and horrible insomnia were my side effects. I already suffer with sleep disturbances and I literally would only sleep a few hours a night while taking contrave. I tried it for two months and the cost is outrageous- $250 a month with a coupon. Hope it does help some folks- just didn't work at all for me."


"Only on it two months and its ruined my life. First month was horrible. Bad cystic acne (never had acne before this in my life) on my forehead and horrible mood swings. Then I got use to the hormones and those symptoms went away. End of my second month I lost tons of hair. I'm talking clumps would fall out. Then came the bald spots I freaked and quit the pill that day. Now I have to use rogaine and take tons of supplements to treat my hair. My hair was healthy,  not chemically touched,  long, and full. Now its patchy, thin, has broken off, it looks horrible. I had to cut my hair to hide a huge bald patch right where some if my bangs use to be!"


"Been taking for 2 years. Can really tell a difference when I don't take both doses every day."


"I took Valtrex once last week for 7 days 3 x day during the outbreak (oral) and wow caught it right in time. I actually felt tingling right before and took Valtrex and next morning there it was. Immediatly took 500mg 3 x a day.  It worked so well with almost zero side effects at least for me. I have had HSV-1 since 6/08 and now I've got this oral for life. Anyway I started 3 days ago on suppressive therapy 500mg x1 a day and I take it at bedtime- same time every night, because it does make me sleepy so night is perfect for me. Unfortunately I have 2 dental appointments coming up soon and that usually triggers an outbreak. I'm anxious to see if it works."


"This medicine is great your nose clears up within seconds of using."


"This is the only medicine I have found that clears up my stuffy/runny nose, sneezing, itchy watery eyes.  I've tried several allergy pills and nasal sprays with no relief!  The only problem is, doctors don't want to prescribe this medication because so many patients abuse it. I've also taken this medicine for bronchitis and it worked wonders!"


"I've used Levora for almost a year now. I do have a heavier period however they seem to be getting lighter which freaked me out at first until I learned that is what this pill is supposed to do. When I do get my period I tend to get more moody and angry but when I start the new pack this moodiness ends. As for birth control I find it works very well."


"Up until last month, I'd had no negative side-effects; no migraines  (which are normal for me), no depression, regular anxiety, cleared my hormonal acne, regular if not strengthened sex drive, fairly regular periods. 2 months ago, I had a long and heavy period. It was the first time I've ever bled through. Because of that, I was prescribed trivora, which I hated. In very beginning, my sex drive peaked, but that quickly ended because it made sex very painful and it lacked any pleasure.  also left me extremely depressed and crying constantly (I NEVER cry). I switched back to tri-previfem after only a week on trivora. Everyone has a different experience, but mine was positive.
P.S. it's only $9 at Walmart."


"I started using Aczone about 2 weeks ago. My derm added this to my other prescriptions (prescription benzoyl peroxide wash 5%, and adapalene gel) I have been seeing a dermatologist since I was a sophomore in high school and I am 25 years old now with acne as bad as a high schooler. I've used sooooo many prescriptions and been put on antibiotics and nothing has changed. So my derm suggested I try aczone. This has made my face absolutely terrible with break outs. I called my dermatologIst and spoke to the nurse who said this is normal and it will get worse before it gets better. Has anyone else had this experience using aczone? And for anyone who's insurance did not cover thos, just go to their website. I paid about 35 dollars."


"Cipro worked the first time I got a urinary tract infection but has become less effective with each successive one. This time my doctor gave me an injection of Rocephin followed by a 15 day (twice a day) treatment of Doxycycline."


"I was prescribed Lamisil for 3 months as an oral tablet to treat fingernail and toenail fungus.  Topical medications did nothing.  The fungus is basically cleared up on my toes but of the 5 fingernails that had it, only 3 responded.  I had blood draws for liver function frequently and had no side effects from the medication.  I do not drink alcohol so my liver was not under much stress.   Since not all the fingernails have improved, I'm hoping I can start another 3 month treatment."


"Moderate Prostatitis:  Doxy working after a slow first 3 weeks. On week 6 now.  Don't stop too soon if its working.  Many experts recommend up to 12 weeks if necessary. No side effects except slight nausea for an hour if taking on an empty stomach."


"The only thing that gave me relief was this medicine.  After having endoamoeba hystolitica (sp?), 3 years ago, and long after killing the amoeba, I had different symptoms related to intestines.  Chronic loose bowels and bloating.  I read about this medicine and convinced Doctor to get me a prescription for this (it wasn't as yet FDA approved for irritable bowel syndrome). Within 3 days I began to normalize, after 1 week was symptom free for 6 months.  Slowly I am beginning to have problems again.  I started my first dose again today and hope to normalize again.  Wish it didn't seem to return. "


"I've been on Apri for a few years and it works 100% great!
-My acne is nonexistent
-my periods are always falling  on the 3-4 days that are supposed to
-My cramps are gone, I used to curl over in pain because of them! Now I have little to no discomfort
-BUT the reason I gave a 9 out of 10 is because, your sex drive is close to none, I hate it for my husband, which is why I'll probably have to make a switch soon, but for me, I love the product!"


"Continued: I finally got enough of enough and tried this "so called awesome Suboxone"!   The best decision I ever chose! I had surgeries during the 5 yrs on it, which was tricky because I loved the buzz from the pain meds, but I trusted Suboxone to simply take it all away.  I completely rebuilt my life in ways that can never be explained, but if you're suffering and hating life, KNOW that there is a better way. All you have to do is ask. I started Suboxone August of 2008, and have been off of it for almost 3 weeks and am doing rather good.  I can honestly say I don't want a pill.  The time on Suboxone has allowed me to reflect on the bad choices I made, and if there's 1 thing I know, it's I CANNOT LIVE LIKE THAT ANYMORE!  God Bless!"


"I will be suffering from my back pain and take lortab 10/500 and within 20 minutes I'm back to living life pain free and puts me in a great mood. Best pain killer out there. I've tried vicodin and norco and percocets and they work okay but I love my lortab. I highly recommend for lower back pain."


"I have been on Ocella for a year now. I used to take Yaz which is in the family and loved it. I have definitely gained weight and having a hard time losing it. My moods are fine, I don't feel sick at all. I actually feel very normal. The downs I found beside the weight is I have zero sex drive! And I do get chest pains."


"Good. It's only been two days, but I feel much better already. My foggy head feels like it's clearing, my eyes feel clearer, my headaches are minimal and I feel great. I'll come back and update in a few months, but I just wanted to offer my positive experience, because all you ever see here are negative reviews. Yeah, I've had a bit of tingling, but it's really nothing - just like normal pins and needles, which I was getting anyway, so I can't even tell if it's this or not; even if it is, it's not distressing in the least. I think I'm coping well because my neurologist said to me 'the people that don't do well on this medicine usually misinterpret the side effects as dangerous. They're not'. Now, I feel perfectly safe with the side effects."


"Excellent medicine for Type 1's with long-standing disease and insulin resistance. I have been able to cut my basal insulin in half (on a pump) while lowering my A1c and losing weight.
The side effects, nausea, mild vertigo at times and constipation have not been severe enough to discontinue the medicine. I am now up to the 1.8mg dose- time will tell if I can tolerate it.
Much less nausea then with Symlin."


"I've had implanon for 6 years and never really had a problem with it. I just got it taken out Feb 2016 and replace with nexplanon, since they don't have implanon anymore. We'll see if they are the same..I've never gained unexpected weight on it so that's good for me. Obviously some people have bad effects, but I honestly had nothing majorly wrong with it. Sometimes my periods would be gone for 3 months and only had a period for 3 weeks twice, but that was close to expiration."


"I have terrible anxiety coupled with really bad tactile disturbances that make me feel like I just want to crawl out of my skin or slough it like a snake. My entire body, including eyes, felt like it was so dry and flakey I couldn't handle it. This med helps so much with that and now I am at least comfortable in my skin even when my anxiety is at its worst."


"I love Tri-Previfem! The only side effect I experienced was a little weight gain during the first few months. My period was much lighter with fewer cramps and my sex drive remained completely normal. I have been taking Tri-Previfem for almost 5 years and I have been currently considering changing to the implant; being in college has created a very hectic schedule and I tend to skip pills constantly and fail to take them on time."


"Initially, this medicine was a godsend. Burning pain finally fizzled away. Muscle pains, didn't help as much. Still got numb and weak as well. The real problem came months later when I realized I was having memory problems. Had to wean off it. Memory loss was permanent. Chunks of time just gone. I still think because of the state of pain I was in I would do it over. Maybe the pain made me block out the time. I wish I would have just risked stopping it sooner to see if the nerve had healed. I still take them when I am desparate for relief. But just one maybe two until the zingers stop. Oh ya, nerves were damaged from electricity. Hand to my neck and face."


"I have been taking this for about 4 months now. While I admit I am awful at being consistent with new meds, I am blown away by how well Saphris has consistently toned down my impulsivity, irritation, edginess, suicidal ideations, and cycling depression.
Unlike antipsychotics such as lithium, this stuff did not turn me into a walking zombie. I am still able to feel elated, just not so much so that I lose control of myself.
Also it helps me have a regular sleeping pattern! I do not know how anyone can taking this in the morning as it knocks me out harder than ambien.

The downside of it is that I am experiencing secondary nocturnal enuresis :S  It is something I have always struggled with and I would not expect others to experience this."


"Been on Venlafaxine for 3 months now. I suffer from complex PTSD and BPD. Love it so far! Much more effective than SSRIs. Started on 75mg a day, taking 2 tablets. Felt better regards to my anxiety in just a few days. Side effects were insomnia to begin with, shaky hands, random sweats and constipation oh and of course lack of libido (I now take viagra as needed).

My doctor then changed my dose to 150mg extended release, this is much better regards to side effects no more sweating or shakey hands and can sleep much better. So yeah the side effects are horrible to begin with but stick with it! I have yet to miss a dose but I've heard it's pretty hell so I try to take my medication everywhere I go.

Overall great medication!"


"I am a 40 something women with moderate hormonal acne.  Did one round of Accutane with good results-but acne returned. Tried every other medicine and cream with no luck.  Finally tried Bactrim and saw results in 2 DAYS!  Been on it a week and have results better than Accutane. "


"Went to the clinic today and my dr gave me 2 pills (500mg a piece) to take there. So that I did, felt fine until a couple hours later then sick to my stomach on and off, and very sleepy. I find that laying in my bed relieves the symptoms for the most part, I have had a few trips to the bathroom with loose stools but not too bad. My advice definitely take this in the comfort of your home where you can get plenty of rest. Hope I feel better tomorrow. And keep in mind that unprotected sex really isn't worth it, could have been something much much worse! Always wrap it up!"


"Does not work as well as I would like. I am prescribed 100mg 4 times a day which I rarely take. Mouth very dry and sometimes difficult to concentrate from about 30 minutes to 90 minutes after a dose. Also take Tylenol and Naproxyn or Celebrex for degenerative arthritis and lumbar "


"We only realised condom broke after we finished. It was day 13 of my 30 days cycle. I took Norlevo 3 hours theafter. Felt dizzy, sick and extremely tired that day. In one week pinkish-brownish spotting started which lasted 3 weeks. It stopped eventually for another month or so. Then my normal period finally started. The pill works but it takes some time for the body to get through it. I had most of side effects: bloating, mood swings, tummy cramps, I even put on weight! But not pregnant so can't complain. Take care!"


"I looked up this medication because I am confused ... Isn't this the same medication for a yeast infection? I just took the last pill for BV. I have felt terrible all week taking it. Metallic taste all day, headache, nasea; all the same issues everyone else has dealt with."


"I was started on Celexa about 7 months ago, my moods have increased thoughts of suicide, feeling worthless, sweats , nervousness. Everyone's different I guess."


"I've only had my first shot. The first month was okay. I was always hungry, severe backaches & headaches, and few hot flashes. I got my cycle a week or so late. I'm in my 2nd month and I've been having really bad cramps, constant bleeding, and diarrhea. No weight gain, at least not yet."


"I took Plan B like 2 years ago and about a week after taking the pill I got my period. I have to emphasis that I took the pill within 3 hours of having unprotected sex. However in October 2013 we had unprotected sex and waited 48 hrs to take the pill.  I never got my period and I ended up getting pregnant even though I took the pill.  Like I said this pill works but the sooner you take the more likely it will work."


"This product works very well, only problem that has showen was the dryness of skin after applying. It has cleared up my face wonderfully, but there are still little not so noticeable areas that refuse to go away. So expensive even with insurance and you only get this tiny bottle but I say its worth it."


"After a motor vehicle accident in 2008 I started having seizures. (grand mal) I just started on Keppra 3 1/2 months ago. 1000mg in the morning and again evening. I also take Gabapentin. 300mg 3 times a day. I haven't had a seizure since. (yay!) Not only that, but I feel 'alert' and I don't feel tired. The Gabapentin can make me feel a little sleepy, but after taking it in the afternoon I immediately take a walk outside or take a 20 minute power nap and then I feel great. I haven't had the side effects of mood swings or feeling tired or depressed. I didn't even realize before I started taking Keppra how "out of it" I felt at times. I'd gotten so used to feeling tired and 'unclear' in my head. Now that I'm on Keppra, I feel 'alive' again!"


"I've been on this pill for over a year now and so far so good. When I first started it I was pretty moody and had some acne but after the first few months my skin was always clear and there was waay less moodiness. (Still some but I think that's just how I am lol) This was the first birth control I took and I took it ever since!"


"Started Bydureon 2mg in May 2015. It's been 10 months and my A1C is 5.7. I've dropped 60 pounds, went from a size 15 to a size 8, feel great.  The nausea realllllly gets me some days and I just can't eat much at all. But, it does do its job. I was on metformin for 2 years before Bydureon and I had constant diarrea. I'll take the nausea over the #2s."


"Highly effective"


"Clonazepam is a wonderful medicine that stops all the bad feelings like, anxiety, feeling of impending doom or just nervous but you don't know why, its in the pit of your stomach, a nauseated twisted feeling in your gut that won't go away. Good news clonazepam is wonderful for these feelings, 2 mg 4 times a day and maybe a Halcion for sleep, you won't get so nervous and you will feel comfortable in your own skin."


"This medication caused my eyes to swell, sacks like fluid under each one, dried my skin all around both eyes and caused redness. After 3 days my eyes started to itch. Returned to the doctor after 2 days and was told to use cold compresses and Benadryl for 5 days. It has been four days and the swelling and dry skin is still around the eyes."


"I had purchased Delsym nighttime night strength for a cold the first night it worked great the second night I got the worst pain in my upper abs, than came nausea , followed by actually throwing up and a small bout of diarrhea.  I am not sure if it was the lack of food contents in my stomach or what but it was a horrible experience"


"Going on Yasmin was absolutely horrible. I only lasted a week because it made me feel horribly depressed. I felt like crying all the time and just wanted to lie down and stare at the wall. It also made me nauseous all the time. Within a couple days I had multiple large zits, and I usually have minimal acne. It also killed my libido. After I stopped the pill I had two separate periods within a week of each other, and it messed with my hormones so much that I cried every day for a month straight. I will never take this Yasmin ever again."


"I been taking this medication and no work out and I'm gaining weight I don't eat anything but healthy foods what do I need to do"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've been on this birth control for eight months. My skin is clearer than ever. I have occasional breakthrough bleeding, but it's just spotting, nothing big, no mood swings but once a month my belly bloats a little bit. Didn't make me gain any weight though."


"I am currently taking Celebrex and Prednisone for my Sciatica, 12 days now and no relief. Desperate for pain relief I took 1 naproxen 500mg. Thank God I did.

The pill is a little hard to swallow, and it may make you a little nauseous but it will definitely ease the pain and will allow you to get some much needed sleep."


"I have never written a review for a product before, and I fall under the category of people that had previously tried EVERY single other method out there for melasma, seeing hydroquinone products as a last last last resort. I've spent a good $300 bucks trying to rid myself of the melasma mustache that I received from a combo of birth control pills and sun exposure. After consulting with a dermatologist, the preconceived notions I had against hydroquinone got cleared up, and I started taking Tri-Luma. It's been SEVEN DAYS, and my melasma is almost gone. I could not be more thankful. My advice- get off birth control immediately, practice religious sun care, and don't be afraid of hydroquinone:)"


"Was in a head on collision which ended in 5 foot surgeries.  Eventually fusing hind foot. Took Norco 10/325...have been on them for 2 years and couldn't walk without them."


"I was on Prozac for 6 months and it was completely horrible for me. Nightmares every night and suicide was way more compelling. I stopped takin the medicine cold turkey. A week ago I got put on 5 mg samples of Brintellix. It has been working fine, but my whole body has been itching like crazy. It's so bad I have blood spots & bruises all on my body. I'm calling my doctor tomorrow to see what they can do about it."


"Pain disappears almost immediately after the first dose."


"Before taking this, my hands and feet were always so cold, my depressing mood I just could not shake off, I was irritable and hopeless, a drone, living day to day.  I finally turned to my doctor for help. It surprised me to find out that my being cold, even in the heat of the summer, had to do with anxiety! Within the first day of taking this medication, I felt instant relief. The will to live flowed in my veins right down to my fingertips and toes. I feel alive again, no longer cold, no longer hopeless. I am happy to be me and so very thankful that this type of medication exists! It's obvious by this board that it helps a lot of people just like it helped me. One Symptom: Yawning! So, I go outside for deep breathes of air."
