"I started off at 50 MG of SERTRALINE  and after a few weeks I started feeling great, I felt more positive, I could sit and watch a whole show or movie with my family. I liked my job more but my appetite did decrease and it made me feel speedy which also made it hard to sleep. Ok so fast forward to 1 month my Dr. decides to up my dosage since it seemed to be agreeing with my body  ( I have depression but mostly anxiety) he upped the dosage to 100 mg tablets. After ONE week I was raging - my family noticed my colleagues noticed.  I felt like I was roided out. I was mean, aggressive and hard to be around. I also felt downl like I didn't want to be around people anymore. That quickly it all changed. Made a same day appointment with the Dr to switch meds."


"I've been on antidepressants from the old style to the newer SSRI's, SNRI's and others and nothing worked. My doctor suggested Methylin ER and my depression lifted in two days and I haven't had a relapse. It's been about a year now and I'm still as happy as can be. I don't sleep for 12 hours or more anymore either. I can wake fully rested with 8 hours sleep and do anything my heart desires. Methylin ER is truly amazing and I'll never go back to an antidepressant as long as this keeps working."


"I have been on  60 mil for 15 years. I live alone and have Fibromyalgia as well as spine and joint problems. The government just stepped in last month and went to taking Ultram and hydrocodone. I cant move my back. I cant walk more then to my car and back, 20 feet. I weigh 154 and eat organic and very careful with all medications. I will be seeing a new Dr next month and hope to go right back to where I was. It is truly a very good pain medicine to control pain all day and all night."


"I have severe chronic insomnia associated with FM/CFS. I have been unable to fall asleep or stay asleep for nearly 10 years. Tried many other medicines for sleep that didn't work or had unacceptable side effects. Sonata served me well for 5 years. Was taking 10 mg to get to sleep and then another 10mg to get back to sleep during the night. Our health insurer changed and they will only pay for 1 pill per night. My health and quality of life has deteriorated."


"I have only been taking Elavil for two weeks but I've been in pain for twenty years, I also have big problems sleeping and staying asleep. Since I started Elavil I have less pain plus I sleep well. I actually had a no pain day which I have not had in a long time."


"I've just started my 4th week with 2 pills in the a.m. & 2 in the p.m. & I haven't lost anything ! Not even an ounce. :(
I am so discouraged and upset. I was excited when my Dr. Had prescribed it to me to lose the weight. I thought what a perfect boost. I already workout 3 days a week at the gym ...but since taking contrave I've felt tired all the time , some days fuzzy as if I had. Vertigo...I may give it another month and if I do t show any improvement I'll stop taking it.
Today is 3/20/17 I'm at 202 & 5'7 I'll let you know in another month if it was worth it."


"Headache free for over 6 months now!  Mild to moderate urinary retention.  Mild to moderate dry mouth.  Take in morning."


"I said to myself I would write a review if this worked for me and my girlfriend so here it goes. I am a guy writing this and trust me I was probably more nervous then my girlfriend when the situation happened. We were having sex and the condom broke. I had pulled out but we weren't sure if anything got in so we drove to the store 30 mins after the incident and got the pill. Her period came a week late but the pill works. I'm here to say RELAX, the pill will work do not stress out over this. And if you're a guy reading this comfort your girl, don't be distant, be there for her and don't make her  go through this situation alone."


"I had Kyleena inserted yesterday. The insertion took about 15 minutes and went well. I was so nervous before, that after I was shaky mostly from a release of my nerves. It was painful. There were about 3 big cramps for me. It was mostly just very uncomfortable and I wanted it to be over. When it was done, I bled a small to medium amount on the table. My doctor was not concerned so I rested for a bit, breathed and went on my way. I was on BC pills for about a year and totally lost my sex drive. My doctor has hope this will help me. Several hours after insertion I felt a lot of momentarily dehabilitating cramps but they came and went. Ibuprofen really helped with this. I used a heating pad and was able to go to school the next day just fine."


"I took this medication as soon as I felt a migraine coming. It did not ease the pain. I was in bed from 5pm till 9am the next day. I was hoping I would get better results since it's very expensive."


"Normally I have a 3-5 day flow with cramps/back pain for 2 days. After a pregnancy scare I decided to get this IUD put in. Insertion was a bit more painful that I anticipated and I had some bleeding for a day or 2. I'm now on my first period with it and I've been having some form of bleeding for 10 days now I am extremely frustrated. I did read that periods may be heavier/irregular for the first 3-4 months. I suppose I mentally anticipated a heavier flow rather than a normal/lighter flow for a longer period of time. I would much prefer the former. I have cramps everyday now for about an hr or 2 and even when the flow darkens I get cramps and back to bright red blood. It feels like I'll have my period forever. Will update"


"I am 53 years old. In the past I have accepted the fact that I will always have shortness of breath. However, it  became worse. I was referred to a Pulmonolgist and he started me on Theo-24. This medication is the best thing that could have happened to me. I can breath again. May 1st I will be able to resume my exercise at the gym. The next thing I want to do is be able to run. I have not done that in such a long time. I am happy with the results. And now I feel like I can live a normal life without experiencing SOB with every step I take. A wonderful product. Thanks."


"I did not receive pre-medication before planned insertion. I had it inserted at age 24 & had never given birth. It was very painful to have inserted. I began having pain radiating down from my uterus to my hips, thighs, and knees. Now it mainly begins a wk prior to my period. I have heavy periods, most of the heavy bleeding is only for 2-3 days. The other days are light to normal, with several days of spotting after. The PMS symptoms have been amplified. Pain during sex. Breakthrough bleeding. Occasionally I get an extra period. I have kept the Paragard because it is highly effective. I am allergic to hormonal contraceptives, spermicide, and have a latex sensitivity. So far, no babies."


"I have been on this medication for about 2 weeks now. I had some bad side-effects to the point where I had to stop taking this medication. I rate it a five because I feel like it had the potential to be a good medication - regardless of the side-effects I experienced."


"This is a good one for me. I was able to wean off an additional nerve pain medication after starting this. I also take it for depression, but suffer from chronic nerve pain daily. "


"I have arthritis in both knees. One is severe bone on bone the other is moderate. So they started injections in my left knee first as the right one wasn't bothering me too much as the cortizone shots was still slightly effective. So got two shots not too bad as far as pain. Go get the 3rd one and the doctor didn't take her time like before to find just the right spot and she injected me. As soon as she started putting the fluid into my knee I felt a burning liquid feeling going from the injection site (the outside of my knee to the inside of my knee) It didn't stop there. It felt as she put more in like my knee was going to explode out the side. I was not expecting that. I just held my breath and when she was done I said. Wow that hurt. Why"


"Had acid reflux. I lost my voice from it for 6 weeks, went to ear-nose-throat doctor. Got Nexium, which gave extreme headaches as a side effect. Another doctor gave me 30 free samples of KAPIDEX 60MG. I got no headaches. Took 1 pill and my voice is returning to normal. Good product. Doctor may give Pepcid AC or 300 mg of Zantac if your insurance doesn't cover it. "


"I just got my Skyla put in yesterday I am 20 with no kids, I took 800mg of Motrin 1 hour before my appointment as recommended by my doctor. Overall the procedure is quick but painful I would say the pain for me lasted about 15 seconds [taking measurements, dilating me, and inserting the Skyla] It is a crampy pain followed by a sharp pinch. After the insertion I was very shaky and slightly crampy and light headed but within 5 to 10 minutes I was back to normal with minor cramps. Less than 24 hours later and I feel slight cramps but overall feel fine."


"I have psoriasis and have been on Otezla for 7 months now.  For me it has not worked.  If I stop using any steroid creams for more than 5 days it comes back.    I was told by the Otezla support nurse that if it did not work within 16 weeks it typically would not work.  Side effects I had were nausea, headaches and weight loss.  I never get headaches and while on this medication I got them pretty regularly.  The nausea was tough but I found taking this with food helped.  I really hoped that it would have worked as it seems to be a much safer option that the inject-able options."


"Had taken Diovan 160mg and a separate water pill 12.5mg. Then my doctor switched me to Diovan HCT to save money. No good. Wound up with a severe rash. Switched back to the two pill system and now am fine."


"Ok, so today is the 1st day I have tried this medication. I had a protein shake for breakfast and I have not wanted anything else. I have not been hungry nor have I craved any sweets! This is a good thing! I really hope this continues. :-)"


"My rheumatologist had me take it during a routine visit.  Had not been taking any ra meds..humeria and methotrexate for five months since i felt 110% better and didnt feel i had it anymore.  I had almost continous respitory infections while on these medications.  The nurse told me it would sting and my arm would hurt for a few days.  That was the least of my worries.  By that evening i had chills, a fever, and rash.  Could not even get out of bed the next day and go go work which is very rare for me.  Went to work the next day and had a terrible honking unproductive cough and was wheezing and felt like I couldn't catch my breathe.  I called my doctor and she prescribed a medrol pack.  Helped somewhat but then ended up with a sinus infection."


"1st pack down- I love it!! Clear skin, prevents pregnancy. I did get extremely large beasts and they were very tender, but if it made them larger I don't mind the tenderness."


"I have been on 40mg Deralin (propranolol) for 3 years. I still get daily headaches and the occasional migraine. I find I have dizziness and vertigo,  lethargy and tension whilst on it. I also have trouble exercising - because I get puffed within 2-3 mins of cardio - like almost vomiting kinda puffed!.
Deralin has helped with my headaches a little, eliminated my tremor, but the biggest improvement is with anxiety. Its almost zero.
I have attempted to reduce my intake because id like to get fit. But was met with overwhelming dizziness, vertigo and panic attacks within 5 days of decreasing my dose to 20mg. So its great for some things, but hard to get off. Id love to hear of something similar that has less side effects."


"I have been on Victoza since 5-9-14 started with .6 and on 1.2 now. I have noticed my reading are now 80s to 150.  This medicine is doing a great job. I am now off my glipizide and metformin and only take the Victoza which has caused no side effects that others have spoken of.  I think this is a great medicine for diabetes.  Thanks Victoza."


"I have been diagnosed with cervical distonia and was given the botox injections and it has been10 days and I cannot bend my neck to even eat! I need to know what I can do about it! What other treatments are they?"


"This gel will make you break out like crazy in the first few weeks.  I never broke out that much to begin with it got me so worried , I kept using it and weeks past by its over a month it cleared up my skin and my scars . I am so happy my face is clear  it works really good.  Anyone who is using veltin should give it a chance be patience with it , it will clear up."


"Has no effect on my migraines whatsoever. In fact they are more intense and make me more sick to my stomach. I suffer from diarrhea almost every night. I am basically bedridden."


"Fell asleep fine but woke up after a few hours. Bad taste in mouth and nausea"


"Promethazine quickly relieved my upset stomach/nausea due to other medicines (I think, who knows, maybe it was a bad meal or lack of nutrients in my body) I love to have this medication in my cupboard if ever my stomach acts up, or if I have an allergic reaction to something. A full dose makes me very relaxed and I generally take a nap. A half a dose just gets rid of the ailment and I can still function in my day. I love this little "cure"!"


"I was diagnosed with Rosacea a year ago and was in terrible shape.  My rheumatologist (for lupus and fibromyalgia) recommended I see a dermatologist because he believed I had Rosacea.  I thought I was just having a recurrence of terrible acne.  My dermatologist diagnosed the Rosacea and put me on Oracea.  Incredible.  I cleared it completely in just a matter of weeks and have had no recurrence.  I am amazed and delighted."


"I'm going on my second implanon. The first three years were OK. I didn't get a period for the first year. Then I got a 2 week long period every three months for the second year. The final year I got my period every month for a few days. Normal for me. This time around...not sure if I'm liking it. I got it replaced in April. I haven't had a period since then....which is fine by me. But I have been gaining weight and can't seem to lose it. I've always been very petite, 107 lbs is my normal weight. Now I am up to almost 130. Also, my arm where the implant is itches like crazy almost every day. Bad enough that at times I just want to get it taken out. But I more than likely wont"


"I think this medication is very helpful it prevents the binges which then prevents the other behaviors. Side effects rough at first."


"With Percocet 10mg."


"Didn't work for me and gave me a really bad headache."


"I tried this for the first time on Wednesday afternoon as a sore was rapidly starting.  It's now Friday night and it's a tiny dry speck.  It has also worked on some weird unknown irritation on my face.  This is the quickest I can remember having one resolve.  I applied a tiny bit probably every hour or whenever I became aware of it again, and it worked very well."


"the zyprexa part of this mix means it will work you WILL have weight gain no matter what. But it works I went from daily suicide attempts to being normal within a week of going on this combo. I wouldn't go on this first I would say its a last resort for those who are treatment resistant."


"I am 20 years old. I was struggling with anxiety and depression for several years. Both peaked my junior year of college and I found it too much to bear. I went to my family doctor and he prescribed me 30 mg duloxetine. It changed my life in the most positive way. Before I started taking it, I would wake up every morning nauseous from anxiety. I was never at ease, I had the worst self confidence and thoughts of suicide. I was dreading my future. Now, my quality of life has greatly improved. I get excited when I think of what my life will bring. I wake up, and I live life. Things aren't perfect but compared to where I was 6 months ago, they are incredible. I don't know if it's for everyone, but it worked for me and I am so grateful."


"Works great for ADHD but tolerance builds very rapidly."


"My blurry vision became clear and my glucose levels dropped from 250 to 150.
The side effects will sneak up on you without you even noticing. First week was fine, very little heartburn and acid reflux 1 day after injection. 2nd week, day after injection, woke up thinking I was having a heart attack. Husband gave me what he uses for heartburn and acid reflux. Went away after 2 days this time. The third week, day after injection. Woke up again with feeling of heart attack, chest hurt so bad. Almost went to the hospital. After 30 mins. Very slowly side effects went away after day 4. Then came week 4 after injection. Vomiting, Rash that you can't see but scratch at non-stop and heart attack feeling. Sick and going insane scratching... NOT WORTH IT."


"My doctor gave me this to try for three months. I couldn't get through the second month of it because it made me feel like puking constantly. Not the best feeling during finals tests."


"Although the medication did effectively treat my cancer the side effects were so severe that I decided to discontinue use of the drug and try an alternate treatment"


"Taking pain killers for shingles I was constantly bloated and in pain with constipation. In fact my stools where impacted. I tried several laxatives to no avail. Then I remembered as a child mum giving us milk of magnesia. So got a bottle from chemist. I did as the instructions said 1 5mils.  It worked a treat."


"Started taking Zoloft about a month ago. The doctor started me out on 50mg for 2 weeks and have been taking 100mg for the last 2 weeks. I feel like the medication is helping in social situations. I am able to join in on conversations and I don't find myself avoiding groups of people like I used to. I still get very tense and fast heartbeat though. I think I will ask the doctor to up the dosage. I haven't really noticed any side effects yet, besides lasting longer during sex, and my wife isn't complaining about that."


"I took this drug for two abscesses. After 48 hours my pain was bearable after the recommended 6 day course (4 x's daily at 150mg) it took care of the infections.  I did experience heartburn and diarrhea 1 day.  Took probiotics to try to counter all the bacteria in my body being destroyed.  On the second full day of taking clindamycin I did experience terrible joint pain in my arms and legs and felt very uncomfortable but that subsided after a good nights sleep.  Overall I liked the fact that it took care of the infection but am always leery of the side effects and what they can do in the long run. I strongly recommend taking probiotics or a good homemade kefir or yogurt product during and after treatment, take 2-3 hOUrs after each dose."


"First few months great, then break thru bleeding the week before and week of period, next month period lasted two and a half weeks, this month it is past 11 days cramping, heavy bleeding. This pill had been horrible for me."


"I am 33 years old, and my son is 7 years old and we both have ADD and ADHD respectively.

His mom started him off with 20mg of Vyvanse and it seemed to help out his behavior and focus problems at school. The only thing is the poor kid is losing weight. I was curious about the side effects and wanted to see if it could help out with my focus. So I started taking Vyvanse as well. It has been okay. I like the fact that I can stay on task and not go from idea to idea and not stick to one thing, but there are major withdrawal symptoms and I tend to be a total space cadet if I don't take it."


"Started taking this a week ago for moderate depression and anxiety. I've been on Zoloft and Paxil before but the Zoloft made me exhausted and the Paxil made me gain weight and missing doses caused "brain zaps" like mini electric bolts. I felt better the very first day, and I knew the exact moment it came on. Even a coworker noticed my smile was like nothing before. Every day thereafter my mood has been amazing.  My doctor told me to start with 10mg, and then 20mg after a week but I jumped right into the 20mg because I know my tolerance for medicines. I still have some social anxiety so he may bump me to 30mg next visit but right now even at this dosage I feel like life is worth living and is manageable."


"Xanax was a Godsend in the short term. Nearly immediate peace from all anxiety and panic symptoms. The longer I took it though, the more problematic it became. Constantly increasing dose for effectiveness, switching formulations. Finally addiction, dependence - didn't matter if it was called this or that. Discontinuing Xanax was painful. Like weeks long, restless, climbing the walls, no sleep. I'd still call it useful in a low dose, well supervised situation. "


"I started getting migraines when I was 20 years old and now I'm 23 and get 6  a month.  I tried numerous medications such as fiorcet, maxalt, topamax, etc. When my doctor prescribed me treximet I assumed it wouldn't work like all the others I tried.  I got a horrible migraine and took a treximet and was relieved about 30 minutes later.  I was so happy I started crying.  I never thought I would find something to work and it was such a relief to know I won't have to suffer my whole life anymore."


"prescribed for a tooth infection.  on day 5 I experience severe pain below the breastbone, extending on both sides under the ribcage.  Excessive pain upon swallowing liquids of any kind and any temperature, pain was in the esophogus area near the diaphram.  Hearburn and desire to burp without any ability to do so.

I discontined use of the drug, symptoms are subsiding but still present slightly.  I hope it is reversible! I have not had any GERD or other type problems prior to this drug."


"I was severely backed up for 2 weeks after pain killers from surgery, I tried senna and that did nothing I was desperate and in so much pain I couldn't eat or sit or pass the bm  (although it was travelling to my bum it was too big.)

I read these comments on docolax and was absolutely terrifed but I was at my wits end so tried it. I took it at 1pm and by 5pm I had passed a very very large bm. Other than a sore bum I still have strange sensations in my stomach but thats cos its still in my system.  I cannot express the happiness that this product has given me! I have no complaints at all and would recomend this to anyone struggling"


"This medication was amazing. It cleared if not all then most of my acne. It worked faster and better than anything I've ever tried. My skin did get dry and itchy at times but the cheap moisturizer I use fixed that quickly. Overall, the product is genius and effective. "


"I had tried sumatriptan and rizatriptan with no relief of my migraines. My headaches consisted of pain under my left eye, neck tenseness, stomach upset and of course headache. My doctor gave me a prescription for Relpax 40mg and a savings card. I had migraine relief for the first time ever! It works every time if I take it at the first sign of migraine and usually works even if I take it after the migraine has taken hold, although it's best if I can lay down and rest if my migraine has already started. Highly recommend it!!"


"Ok,

so.. first month I had no issues. I gained a couple pounds, but nothing noticeable. I got a light period the first month, so no problems there.

The main reason I wanted to post here is because I have a slight condition called TMJ. It has to do with clicking in your jaw. Anyways.. the past few days I started having pain in my jaw when I open my mouth and its terrible. I actually found an article someone else wrote saying they had the same experience when they first started a birth control. Apparently estrogen can change the way females "perceive pain" as the article says. Anyways I am going to stop this pill in hopes that the pain will go away. If anyone else has experienced this it would be good to note it so others are aware."


"I started taking this pill around 2 years ago and started to get extremely depressed. My mom and I thought it was because of a boy I was seeing so I broke it off and also got off of the medicine, thinking I wouldn't need it anymore. About 2 months ago, I started on this same birth control again and have felt very emotionally overwhelmed and have not been myself at all. I have made the decision to go off of this medicine for good this time and already seeing positive effects. I do not at all recommend this product."


"I like this but it made my head hurt and give me a dry mouth."


"I started on Ritalin for ADHD but I switched to Adderall, because the Ritalin made me extremely irritable. Adderall 20 mg allows me to concentrate, tune out distractions, and manage time efficiently. Negative side effects: suppressed appetite (positive for me!), SOMETIMES slightly irritable mood towards the end of the day, sleeplessness if I take it less than 12 hours before bedtime."


"Medicine takes time but it works great."


"I am so very pleased to read all of these reviews. I have been on Oxycontin for just over a year. After one cervical and two lumbar fusions my ortho doctor refused to prescribe anything stronger than Percocet. He referred me to the pain clinic and I am so very lucky to have a knowledgeable doctor. Oprah had a show on prescription drug addicts today (my family all have issues with this medication). I would like to see someone brave enough to stand up for all of us in chronic pain that HAVE to take this medication to simply function. I take 60mg 2x's a day and have felt guilty that is until I happened upon these postings. Now I feel like I can ask my doctor to up my dose one more time so that I can get the full benefit of the medicine."


"After trying organic and holistic alternatives for a year with no success I went to a Dr. who prescribed Hyzaar 50mg. I've been on it for 6 weeks, had my 2nd visit today and the Dr. said the approximately 10% improvement was all I could expect and immediatley prescribed a 2nd BP med. No discussion of increasing the dosage, just another med. I'm disappointed in the Dr. more than the med."


"I took for 8 weeks, 53 year old male. I moved to a new town for job. It is pretty depressing when you don't know anyone. Zoloft 50 mg. First night NO sleep. Started taking  at night with Ambien. I sleep for about 5 hours then I'm up at 3 am. Major side effects: inability to orgasm, clenched teeth, restless legs, trembling, loss of appetite, diarhea and sweating. First week was nausea, trembling but emotions were better. After 8 weeks, I think the side effects aren't worth the benefit. Quit cold turkey 4 days now. No major problems. Teeth clench still but, not as bad."


"Both feet affected , used prescription Lamisil for 3 months which totally cleaned up right foot all toes.

Then Zeta Clear on left foot for 4 months....nothing. Filed nails every 2 nd day to keep them thin and clean.Switched to Jublia ($55 ) for a tiny brush on bottle.

Nothing ,  after religiously applying as instructed for 4 months.

That's it , will not waste any more money and just file away regularly."


"I read a lot of bad reviews on Nexplanon but everyone body is different so I still tried it!! I got it inserted in July of 2017 and I spotted for a month when August came I had no period no spotting I thought things were going good!!!! Well September came around and I have been on my period non stop mind you it’s now November!!! Its not a heavy period but it’s not a comfort. I’m going to get it removed first week in December"


"Gildess is my first ever birth control pills.

Pro: didn't get pregnant

Cons:

1. I've been getting my period every 1.5-2 weeks! And when I'm not on my period I get bad yeast infections, regardless of me taking probiotics to prevent that from happening.  I have no sex life because of that (how ironic). I've been very emotional to the point of not recognizing my own behavior.  My skin became very sensitive, I'm always getting rashes and irritations.

It's been 2 months, I'm waiting one more miserable month and then will try to switch."


"This is only my 3rd week on the cream. Based on the other reviews, I am almost out of the "storming phase". I have seen an overall improvement and only got a few days of bad break outs. Initially I stopped wearing makeup because I wanted to gel to soak in. I tried wearing makeup yesterday and it stung so bad I had to take it off. My skin has gotten very dry and this morning, for the first time since using this product, I'm seeing the dry patches. I used the Cetephail daily moisturizer that everyone was recommending, it stung initially but visually took all flakes away!! I am very hopeful and am already noticing a decline in acne! I will write again in another few weeks!"


"Loestrin calmed down my extreme mood swings from the patch (I was on the patch for a year).  However, my husband says that two weeks out of the month, I'm "normal" and the following two weeks "crazy."  What he means by this is that prior to my period, I have major PMS symptoms ranging from waking up angry, becoming overly sensitive, sadness, and bloating.   I'm not saying that Loestrin causes the symptoms, for that I can never adequately prove. I am saying, however, that Loestrin does not tame it down.  Also, I have more breakouts now with this pill than when I was on the patch."


"I have recurring iritis (uveitis) and have used Durezol numerous times when my condition flares up.  I keep a bottle at home on the advice of my opthalmologist so that I can start treatment on a weekend if I can't get through to a doctor. The drops are very soothing and have what seems to be a nearly immediate impact. The discomfort starts to subside, along with the redness.  I rely on it, along with Atropine Sulfate, which keeps the pupil dilated.  In fact, if I put the Durezol drops in first, the Atropine doesn't sting as much. Durezol has worked very well for me."


"Works very fast (10-15 minutes) and helped where others didn't without the loopy feeling of Vicodin. I only need a few pills a month for those first couple of days when it's bad so just had doctor write what I needed and pick up at pharmacy paying cash price. I used to miss work a lot but now it doesn't even bother me. Love it."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"Diagnosed with HIV in early July 2016 and started taking Genvoya 2 weeks later.  Had a blood test after 2 weeks on Genvoya to check liver function, which was fine.  6 weeks after starting Genvoya and my VL was undetectable (<20, VL was 31,500 just six weeks earlier) and CD4 count went up from 326 to 343.  I take the one pill per day with dinner. Now 3.5 months later, the only side effect I have encountered is a very slight rash that isn't so visible, but does cause a bit of itching.  A bit like a flea bite or something.  Mostly on my forearms, but a little bit all over on occasion.  The hiv specialist thinks it will subside over time.  A little Cortizoine cream on each rash spot and i forget about them.  This drug is a life saver.  Try it"


"I have been taking Avonex for close to 16 years and my biggest fear in the world is losing access to it. I started on Betaseron but had to stop because of injection site reactions and severe flu symptoms.  I had been through everything. Complete invalidity, lying in a hospital bed to basically healthy with no noticeable symptoms at all. But since being on the Avonex, I have only very minor exacerbations , less than one per year. In the last 10+ years, I have not missed any work or cancelled any vacations for MS issues. My only problem is the cost."


"I have suffered from panic attacks for about 12 years.  Because I have a brother who became addicted to xanax and ended up detoxing in a hospital I have been afraid of all medication.  After a major scare concerning a health issue I found I could no longer ignore the consequences of the attacks.  I have lost 20 lbs in 5 years and am now very underweight.  I had no appetite and dreaded meals.  I started taking Celexa 3 weeks ago and the change is amazing.  I still wake up in the middle of the night and I do have very vivid dreams.  However, now when I wake up and do not go into a panic attack.  I am eating 3 meals a day.  The only side effects I have are headaches and constipation.  I would recommend this medicine."


"Well within an hour of taking monistat 1, the burning many other reviews describe had turned into both burning and a full body rash. two days and a visit to urgent care later and the swelling has just started to go down. I know her results were abnormal, but I couldn't recommend this medicine any less."


"Used super potent steroid creams for 10 months on my Lichen simplex chronicus that did not work and made skin condition worse. 2 weeks of Protopic and condition is almost gone."


"The Estrace cream burned me so severely, I have open sores."


"I rarely had gout flare ups despite having high levels for 10 years, I couldn't take the allopurinol, and when I started having small more frequent flare ups my doctor urged me to try Uloric, warning me that I was damaging my joints even if I wasn't having flare ups.  The first 4 months on it I had probably 7 flare ups, more than I had ever had before, but my levels were low.  Finally after 6 months they stopped and I have had zero issues for months. I think that what happens is that you build up crystals in your joints over the years if you don't treat your gout, then when you go on this medicine your levels drop so fast that the crystals dissolve and fall out into your joints.  Stick with it, it's worth it.  Not sure what it costs."


"I took it for 2 weeks then cut off cold turkey as lack of sleep and EXTREME IRRITABILITY.  I never had these two issues prior to usage.  Even if I were to taper off, my hope was to get it out of my system as quickly as possible.  I would rather have tremors and headaches than be so uptight that even my chest shakes."


Mucinex Fast-Max Severe Congestion & Cough

"Sunday I took Advil because I felt run down, achy body, and runny nose. Today which is Monday October 23, I woke up to runny nose, ear and body ache, swelled and achy throat, breathing issues because I have one lung, run down, and headache. I saw doctor and got prescription of nasal spray. She told me because of the pressure of my nose, that's why my earaches. Also, the drainage of my nose is why my throat hurts. But she felt my pressure points and they were swelled. Wtheck. She said to get Mucinex DM and Advil over the counter. The Mucinex DM Maximum strength 12 hour, extended release 28 pills works GREAT!  I've used this and Mucine Sinus max Congest.relief 16 liquid gel in the last few years! This medication is worth spending money on!"


"Going on 2 months now. I had 16 days of extremely heavy bleeding with heavy clotting. I have PCOS and would have some crazy abnormal period but never with severe cramping and clotting. I went through a regular tampon in 1 hour and about 45 overnight pads in that 16 days.  My left breast is considerably more tender at all times and I have random spotting and cramps almost every day. I'll be calling my doc to tell her I'm going off of this pill. I won't make it to the third month. I'd rather use condoms (and I hate condoms)."


"It works just as good as the others.  Took up to two a day when really bad."


"I used this for significant body pains, and had great results.  Tramadol was described by my doc as a 'notch below' Vicoden.  The more you take, the queasier you get and my appetite was supressed, so I lost some weight. Yes, it caused MAJOR constipation which made me miserable at first, but this was resolved with 3 flaxseed oil capsules, a couple Fiber One bars, and a lot of water every day. (Seriously, this was my miracle cure.) The tramadol also had me waking up every hour at night."


"This medicine is a miracle! This is day two and I feel great."


"I used Marinol for nausea during cancer therapy. I have to take some narcotics for excessive pain and Marinol still keeps the nausea down that the narcotics create. Makes my life quite a bit easier."


"It was great for the first year besides sometimes irregular periods it really helped my period being so heavy.The bad right around a year I gained around 15 pounds,I started looking almost as if I was pregnant by my stomach,I would have a period for a couple months then not one for two or  three months, my cramps became terrible and my bloodsugars were highly elevated even taking very high doses of insulin also I have high cholesterol now at age 22, not to mention the terrible mood swings and depression along with the almost like pregnancy cravings and Ovarian cysts which are very painful.I want it out now!!!"


"I'm not sure it helped at all but when I woke up in the middle of the night sweating, the burning sensation it caused was intense! Very painful. An ice pack helped but I'm afraid to use again after this."


"I have been on Seasonique for approximately 3-4 years and I have to say I really enjoy only having periods every three months.  I no longer have the 7-10 day periods and my periods are very light and there are no cramps.  I have noticed others have had the total opposite but I was told by my doctor that each person is different and not be discouraged.  I also don't have as many migraines as I used to.  I recommend this to anyone who has long periods or irregular periods because now mine are regular and last 3 or 4 days at the most."


"I have been dealing with extreme pain in my hip and groin area. I took one pill but never again. I first experienced drowsiness,  which isn't anything to worry about until I started to not feel right in my head. Lasted for about 20 minutes. Then as I was standing in the kitchen making dinner I developed extreme nausea for about 5 minutes. This led to a rush shooting straight to my head and on came a dizzy spell that lasted for about 20 seconds. Followed by a partial black out for a split second, vision came back and I went to sit down moments later I was perfectly ok. Well besides feeling freaked out of course. I would never recommend this medicine to anyone."


"After having what I thought was a bladder infection for about 6 months, taking ever antibiotic there was, I finally found a Urologist that was willing to work with me.  He did the scope and indeed confirmed I had interstitial cystitis.  He put me on Elmiron.  I still have flare ups but nothing with a lot of water and pain meds I get back to a normal life.  I have been on the Elmiron for 4 years.  About 2 months I decided to take myself off and see if I could get by without taking the meds. VERY wrong decision.  I went back on Elmiron and thank GOD I am better now.  I have come to the conclusion I will always be on Elmiron.  However, if this is what it takes to have a normal life then so be it!"


"I've gone through a whole slew of antidepressants over the last years, and the only things that had helped at all were Wellbutrin (barely any improvement, but some) and Abilify (great improvement that completely disappeared after 2 months). Finally my doctor put me on methylphenidate, currently up to 60mg a day and while it's not a magic cure all it's been a fairly decent improvement and it's lasted for almost 4 months now."


"I have been taking this medication for about two years.  At first it completely killed the pain and then gradually i have built a tolerence to it.  The days that it works and feel good it is awesome but other days i wish i had other options.  I like the fact that it is non narcotic and seems not as habit forming."


"I don't usually write reviews for things, but I really feel like I should share my experience. I have been taking a variety of norethindrone for 5 months now. The first 2-3 months of taking this were the worst. My mood swings were bad. I found myself crying and getting extremely mad over the smallest things. My periods were completely unexpected and I had very random spotting for the first 2 months. The 3rd month seemed to be very regular and normal.  Then the 4th and 5th months were back to unexpected. For month 5 I would have my period for 7 days, off 2, on 7-8, off 1. Very heavy and clotted. It was painful and gross. I figured I would wait 6 months to see if it would change but it has only gotten worse. I do not recommend this to anyone."


"It all but eliminated my symptoms within 3 days from being doubled over in pain an not able to work to feeling great.  After 5 days, i was symptom free."


"I'm almost finished my first pack of Trinessa and the side effects that I've experienced are LOTS of bloating and also vaginal discharge. I've gotten use to the bloating, but the vaginal discharge is annoying and frustrating because I kept thinking it was a yeast infection or something like that and everything I've taken to try to get rid of it has not worked and it was driving me crazy, but after reading some of the reviews for Trinessa, I realized it must be one of the side effects of the pill because it started when I started taking it. The first week I started the pack, I had a lack of appetite, but I've been eating regularly since then. I haven't experienced any weight gain. Overall Trinessa seems to be a decent birth control"


"Overall not that bad.  I'm not a big guy, only 140 lbs so I was a little worried the one size fits all instructions might be more than I need.  And after reading the previous comments I was expecting it to be worse than it was.   I followed the instructions and had no nausea and only mild cramping on the 2nd dose.  To me the taste while not great was also not that bad, only surprise was it tasted somewhat salty.  Just have to chug it down over half a dozen gulps.  My only complaint is the ridiculous cost, outrageous.  Bottom line however is follow instructions and it's not that bad, at least it was not for me."


"This was my first and only method of bc since 2001. So I can tell my experience with depo was great. No periods just spoting before shot was due. No pregnancies. Weight gained I can say I like to eat so I can't blame depo for that. Now I am thinking to do the nexplanon implant but I am scared of all the bad reviews I read thats why I decided to review depo who has being very effective to me, our bodys react different to each medicine and I hoping is better than depo or I will switch back."


"I used this as birth control and to regulate my menstrual cycle. I am usually an extremely happy, bubbly person. While Ortho Tri-cyclen did prevent unwanted pregnancies, it wreaked havoc on my life. I took it for three and a half months. I became extremely depressed for no reason. I mean DEPRESSED. I cried at least 3 times every single day, I felt listless and hopeless. The closest I came to feeling happy in the last month of using this drug was feeling nothing at all. Feeling empty was as good as I got. Usually I felt angry, sad, despairing. For NO reason. I alienated friends, family, and boyfriend. My mother made me stop taking these pills as she thought they were the cause, and like magic, I began to feel like my normal self within a week."


"Well, it didn't empty all my bowels, as one replier stated, but, after surgery, and 9 days of no bowel motion...It was the only thing that broke up the "plug" and I'm thankful for that. Only used two of them in two days, broke up plugs both times, and now I'm waiting for the "rest of the story". I'll try and let you all know."


"I was administered this for removal of my wisdom teeth.  I didn't even realize I had been knocked out because I was looking at my mother one second waiting on them to start the procedure the next second I thought I was still looking at her asking when are they gonna start she said it was over! I felt great I jumped up and hugged my dentist and told him I loved him lol I was so nervous before hand and was so relieved that the procedure was over!"


"I've been on 10 mg of escitalopram for almost a year.  Some days I still experience nausea.  It was very bad during the first few weeks and then it stopped.  But in the last few months I started experiencing nausea throughout the day again.  Anyone else still have nausea from this drug after being on it for awhile?"


"I had the Mirena inserted in 3/2014 at my 6 week check up after my son was born. The insertion was not terrible it was kind of like long papsmere with some cramping along with it. Afterwards I spotted for about 5 days and that was the end of that. My period went on normally for the next year slowly decreasing in flow and length. During my time on the birth control I experienced mood swings, hair loss, weight gain, inner aching, numerous ovarian cysts, and more yeast and bacterial infections than I can keep count of (over 30). I finally had it removed in the beginning of May 2016 and I feel a million times better. Yes my first period was very heavy and clotty but when it was over I felt 100% better. Different strokes for different folks."


"I have been taking this medication for about 2 months . First I took the 25mg it worked for a few weeks then stopped so I bumped it up to the 50mg it works but I'm going. It doesn't stop working like the 25mg did ....... due to the side effects I'm having I think I'm going to quit taking this medication ...... headaches , confusion , blurry vision , leg cramps , high blood pressure , rapid heart beating , dry mouth , anxiety , not sleeping if I take it at night , uti , chest tightness ......"


"Excellent results with no side effects."


"I had severe depression & suicidal thoughts due to chronic pain, stiffness, eye health problems & hair loss (symptoms of an arthritic condition I have). Had tried Lexapro & that didn't work out well for me personally. I have been on duloxetine for about 10 weeks now & it is brilliant (took a month to work). I am back to feeling myself again. I'm looking forward to things, planning activities & meet-ups with friends & family I haven't seen in ages. Got my appetite back & am sleeping so much better now. I've even started planting my own flower garden :-) I can't believe I waited so long to get help. My advise is don't get discouraged - there is medicine out there that will work for you!"


"If I Wellbutrin was in my life few years ago I could be totally different person. Still I am lucky to have started it several weeks ago. It helped me a lot. I hope you can see the same results. "


"I started this pill a couple months before turning 18, just turned 20, so about 2 years or so. I did notice the weight gain but I quit smoking at the same time so I don't really know what caused it. My periods don't exist anymore.  My doctor told me I can skip my placebos and never bleed. I still spot at random times of the year. Usually twice a year and it's very light to where I don't have to wear anything. I have noticed my mood swings getting pretty bad at certain times but overall the pill works great for me!  I haven't had any issues yet."


"I have been taking Monodox for around a month along with Duac gel (5% bp, 1% clindamycin) at night and Atralin (0.05% tretinoin) gel in the morning. While I can say that this antibiotic is definitely working, I have one complaint. My skin is seriously oily now. SERIOUSLY oily. I mean, I need to use around 3 oil absorbing sheets a day. I've gone through 3 or 4 packs of oil sheets. But, this works. It really has helped to eliminate large pimples. Occasionally a large one will occur, but it's usually now smaller red specks or an occasional white head. I am told in another month I can see more results, and I hope that it happens, because if it does, my skin will be clear!"


"I've tried so many products to get rid of the acne on my face and nothing worked. I even tried home remedies and everything. Then, my doctor prescribed me with Epiduo and just 2 days after using it I started to see a difference. It's amazing, it got rid of the acne I had and ever since I got it I don't get pimples anymore. It does however tend to dry out my skin but not severely, nothing a little moisturizer can't fix. Overall Epiduo is amazing and I wouldn't use anything else for my acne."


"Orange flavor wasn't bad but a little orange food coloring might have made the illusion a bit more convincing.  Medium thick but went down without much problem. Technician assured me it was light years better than the chalky mix they used to use.  Then got an injection of an unnamed diuretic and urination every 5 minutes began. Not sure if it was completely the diuretic or the barium was a contributor but it continued right up to PET time. I warned them so they procured a plastic urinal and wrapped an diaper around me on the table. Neither got used during the 15 minute scan but it took a lot of clenched sphincter action to prevent a mess. Ten seconds off the table the urinal got used."


"I got this in October '15 and now it's February '16 and I have no problems with it. I never even had a baby. The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable was on my way home. They clean your cervix with soap and it honestly burns because your cervix isn't used to that. but nothing worse than that"


"After I started to to this I couldn't see, Heart was racing, arms and legs were numb, and I went from over 181/100 to 105/79 and lite Head."


"I had this IUD placed over 2 months ago and everything was going well until about a month ago. I have now been on my period for 6 weeks straight with no sign of stopping, and I know irregular bleeding for the first 6 months is a side effect but trust me, it grows old. My suggestion is that if a birth control pill works for you and you are able to take it consistently for the most part, stick to that. having to spend $60 on a morning after pill after a questionable night is genuinely a better option."


"Did NOTHING for my broken ankle concerning pain."


"Geodon is a very effective drug for me.  Completely wiped out the auditory hallucinations."


"I had unprotected sex on the last day of ovulation and my boyfriend told me the next morning that he didn't pull out so about approximately 12 to 14 hours later I went to CVS and got a Plan B  and took it, the first week I didn't have much side effects but the second week before my period I had really bad cramps  I finally got my period four days ago, a day earlier  and I honestly wouldn't ever do this again and I have definitely learned my lesson, condoms & birth control ladies, be safe.."


"I've been taking this medication for 20 days. I started taking it because of severe anxiety and depression. I started on 5 mg and within the last 7 days increased to 10 mg. The first couple of days I felt fine then I started to feel really anxious.  I'm still feeling alot of anxiety but my doctor insists that I continue the medication and the anxiety should subside.  I've tried so many other medicines and this is the only one I've tolerated this long. I'm hopeful and pray that the anxiety does go away. I can honestly say that my mood has definitely improved that's why I continue to take it. I'll keep my fingers crossed."


"I was on Betaseron for 1 yr before finally deciding to try something else.  It was effective in the fact that I had no new lesions while taking the medication.  However, I experienced flu-like symptoms after each injection, including headaches, body aches, fever, and chills.  I didn't want to give up on it because everything I read said that this was a temporary side effect.  Anyway, after a year of staying tired and feeling terrible from the medication, not from the Multiple Sclerosis, I decided to move on."


"I've been prescribed the flucinazole on 3 separate occasions over the past year. More recently, I was also prescribed oral Metronidazole twice a day for 7 days and told to take diflucan over the same period every 3 days. Well I developed a super itchy rash all over my arms which spread to my trunk and legs the more I kept taking the Metronidazole. I went urgent care and was told to stop the Metronidazole and given a shot to help with the rash. It went down almost immediately. Since they didn't say to stop the Fluconzaole I took my next dose and low and behold I'm an itchy mess again. I realized that although to a lesser degree this rash has been present the other times I've taken it also but mainly on my legs."


"NO & HELL NO!!!!  after not even 2 hours my poor vagina and vulvar area was burning, itching worse than the YI did and all was inflammed.  Came on here THEN read the reviews.  I jumped in the shower and washed everything off of me/in me as best as I can.  I am now lying in bed, in November, with the ceiling fan on (no ice pack) cooling my poor affected areas down.  Don't use the strongest formula.  As for me, I'll go back to other methods...even the nausea I get with Dipluran is better than this!"


"Best and most effective medicine. I was diagnosed with Degenerative disc disease (DDD) and have chronic muscle cramps, soreness, shocking pain at times I lose my breath. Physicians are fearful and forget their duty to treat pain. Seems as if things that work aren't prescribed so you have to continue paying for visits and paying for medicine that doesn't work.  Doctors are suppose to monitor patients who abuse and misuse soma but nope, all of us are now drug seeking. I hate that I'm looked at that way. I just use herbal medicine."


"I've been on NuvaRing for 4 months now. It's amazing so far. I have always had issues with heavy and painful periods. I tried the pill years ago but was unable to remember it everyday. My periods are shorter, lighter, and less painful. I always got PMS before and I actually think these symptoms have improved with NuvaRing. I haven't noticed any sexual dysfunction like others have. I would suggest that you check placement after intercourse, because it can be removed. Give your partner a heads-up so they will know if NuvaRing comes out as well."


"I don't have much to go on as I just got my Liletta placed today. For me, my experience wasn't pleasant at all! I was nervous about my decision to have an IUD vs the birth control I have been on for 10+ yrs. I made my decision as I am 34, 3 children, & a smoker (I know-I know). With all facts considered an IUD is the most healthy option for me. This review is on my insertion experience, & let me tell you it was awful! The insertion was painful, but bearable, the cramps that came after were basically labor (contractions) pain! I had to pull over & my fiance had to pick me up. After a few hours, some ibuprofen, and a heating pad the cramping is finally bearable. For those who had minimal pain, you are so lucky. Hope this is worth it. Will update."


"So after being hospitalized for days and given IV antibiotics I developed a yeast infection of course. I was given 2 doses of oral fluconazole. After being released the infection got so bad I had to wet a washcloth just to pee. The burning was unbearable, I wanted to cry everytime I had to urinate. I read somewhere that the irritated labia is what was really burning but I couldn't tell the difference it was just excruciating burning. I put a thick layer of vaseline throughout my inner lips to coat everything before inserting the monistat it helped with the burning during urination however a min after inserting the monistat 3 intense itching inside my vagina. I just want to scratch inside so bad. I hope this subsides wish me luck."


"Like most others, I've tried everything possible for fibromyalgia over the past several years.  I also have 3 herniated discs and chronic back pain.  I tried Lyrica in the past and it did not help.  Two years later I tried it again and in fact am still on 300 mg/day in combination with Flexeril 10 mg at night.  It helped to take the edge off for about a month then suddenly stopped working.  As I am going on a vacation soon, I am not beginning to wean off yet as I will wait until we return.  Perhaps increasing the dosage would help?  We will see.  So far all I had was a month with a little less pain and am having a hard time maintaining my weight.  My memory loss and grasping for words has also noticeably increased (and I am young).  "


"Works well for old (18 years ago) injury. Takes care of the dull, thumping shoulder pain. Plus, it's cheap."


"When I started Jolessa, I had been on the Depo Provera shot for almost two years. While on Depo, I gained 30 lbs and I experienced every side effect.

When I switched to Jolessa, I didn't experience spotting and my weight plateaued. I am very pleased with Jolessa and I love that my periods are only every three months, also that they are only heavy for three days. I know I keep water weight given that I am on birth control, but that's the only negative thing I have to say about Jolessa!"


"I just want to say before I start this, that I have a very low pain tolerance. I am 18, with 1 kid, and I would just like to say that I thought this would be a terrible experience because of some very bad reviews. I think everyone reviews when something goes bad and not enough people review the good things. I was pleasantly surprised to not feel any pain at all. When they measure your cervix, it is uncomfortable. When thy clean your cervix, it feels like a pap smear. And I have read a lot of reviews where people say they feel a pinch, but I didn't even feel it. All I felt was the cramps afterward. But this is only the day after I got it as I am writing this and I feel just like normal. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!!!!!"


"I just spent six years in the penitentiary, as an ex drug addict this shot was offered to me as an option and alternative to other opiate blockers. So far I have taken two of the injections one while in prison and the second as I left the facility. So far so good. Some minor joint pain and a few aches. They were able to be worked thru with a little walkin and exercise. No cravings and definitely no thoughts about tryin ANY opiates after seeing the results first hand. The withdrawal it causes is life threatening. Its not worth it.the nanoxolene is good for our situations. If you really want to get clean give it a whirl!"


"I was on Ortho TriCyclen as soon as I turned 18 and used it until my husband and I wanted to conceive a few years later. I went back on it after my daughter was born. It made my periods regular, they were basically clockwork which was awesome. I had no acne, mood swings, or break through bleeding."


"Seroquel XR worked for me better than the Seroquel. From my understanding the XR is an extended release vs the regular Seroquel. My paranoid thoughts have completely gone away except for the normal paranoia that everyone has of people sometimes talking about them. It also gives me a lot of energy during the day and I do not have to take naps. I have tried Abilify and other medicines, but none seem to work as well as the Seroquel XR."


"I'm 39, male, 6'3, 230 lbs. Suffered from anxiety disorder for years. Worrying, palpitations, shortness of breath, basically all the popular anxiety symptoms. Seemed to come on more when I pushed myself exercising. Back on Lexapro because it does work. Side effects like lower sex drive, difficulty reaching orgasm, insomnia all go away. I find myself fearless, my life is active, no more "what if's" and no anxiety attacks. I admit I hate taking medicines, but without it is far worse."


"This was my 4th week taking trulicity .75 the 1st two wks went ok, the 3rd week I started having severe pains in my stomach, severe nausea,  hives, diarrhea.  The 4th week was the same but worse, I broke out in hives from my head to my feet, had welts all over me, I just got back from the hospital last night because of it. And it's still doing the same thing the next morning, I wake up with severe stomach pains, nausea I belch an tastes like rotten eggs, diarrhea,  and the itching, hives everywhere! ! Ended up having to take prednisone and benedryl for the hives rash, Zofran and acid reducers for the sickness and vomiting. It makes food lay in my stomach and doesn't let it digest. Please DO research on this medicine if it is offered!!"


"27 and been smoking heavily for about 2 years but couldn't stop on my own. I've been taking bupropion (purple pill) for about a month now. 1 a day for week 1 then 2 daily. With in the first 2 days I went from smoking 10-12 cigs a day to 3-4. I am also a daily 420 user. The meds cut those cravings way down too, which might be why I was started to feel anxiety so my doctor increased my dose to 340mg. After about 4 weeks I was cig free. I think I'm in week 6 now. I don't crave cigs at all, but for the last week I have been feeling very nauseous when I eat, the worst part is the aggravation/anger. The smallest things get me very angry. I used to me very mild tempered, you could say a push over. These meds made me a b*tch. Now I'm weaning off."


"Been on Victoza for about 3 months. Lost 20+ pounds. Started at .6 for two weeks then upped to 1.2 for a week and 1.8 since then. I've tried everything to control my blood sugar. Before Victoza, I was running about 165-195 in the morning and 140-150 all day. Metformin made it higher. Xigduo made it higher and had horrible side effects. Tried a few others with zero positive results.

Victoza worked the best once I hit 1.8 dose. My morning BS is never higher than about 110 and I'm always <100 throughout the day.

The biggest thing is that it completely controls my appetite. I work from home full-time and used to snack all day. With Victoza, I have to make myself eat and I eat very small portions. I'm just not hungry AT ALL. Love it!"


"I was taking only 75mg per day of Lyrica for Fibromyalgia pain.  I found it to be very helpful to me and helped me to get much needed rest at night.  I took my dosage at night 2 - 3 hours before bed.  My only issue with it was there were occasions where I felt a little "spacy" but overall, the pain left and I was able to carry out most of my day without significant pain.  It was a very low dosage, so a lot of the side effects that some people experience could be from taking a much larger dosage.  I am no longer taking it because I lost my insurance and can't afford the cost.  However, I was told about Neurontin, will be starting it tomorrow and hoping to get some similar relief."


"Feel much better since I started Zyprexa!!  Wished I had started it years ago!  Zyprexa works quickly to calm a person down.  Very progressive type of medication."


"Sometimes the dosage does not give relief. I am now trying the 150mg at night and 100mg in the morning."


"Verrry painful procedure it hurt me alot just stomach pains ! 4 hours later and it still hurts"


"I was very curious to know has anyone here been to a sleep specialist or even had a couple sleep labs done? I'm familiar with all meds mentioned. If I had not been down that long road, I wouldn't know their names. I was bounced around with this med and that and combinations (as I have pain and other issues as well) Not until I had 2 sleep studies done, and after 4 yrs seeing a Neurologist who specializes in insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep apnea. He also has a Phd in Pulmonology but doesnt practice that any longer. There are definitive reasons why different people sleep or don't, how long, feel rested, or not.

The body as is was meant to be awake approx. 15 hrs and asleep approx. 8-9 hrs. I would like to share some things that may help. K"


"Started Lutera six months after the pains started and the very first month my pains have gone down significantly.  I'm amazed and grateful for this pill!"


"Valium has really helped me. It has made a difference in my life. I'm 24, I went from being violent and having anxiety after anxiety attack but since being prescribed valium it has worked wonders."


"I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 8 months ago (i am 19) but I do not have that. Instead I have BPD and depression. I was taking olanzapine which took away my entire life - I could barely do anything, but for the past 2 days with seroquel it has almost the opposite effect. Together with Prozac I have felt more motivated and less suicidal. Also I'm able to control my anxiety and I have more control over my behaviour. I also have trouble focusing but this has helped me focus on therapy a lot more. Sleep not great but I'm only on 25mg ; I only sleep for about 6-7 hours and then wake up and keep going back to sleep. This is the first drug that's given me hope."


"Sertraline saved my education and my life. I had the side effects of mild dizziness for 3 days, decreased appetite for 3 weeks, and decreased sex drive for 3 weeks. Both came back though.

I'm in my final year of high school, and I have struggled so much for the past 4 years due to severe panic disorder and MDD. I came very close to completely dropping out and being uncontrollably agoraphobic. I cried almost daily, things hit me harder than they did other people, my dad was at a loss. I was a straight A student until my severe mental illness almost ruined me.

Sertraline 50mg has helped me learn to cope. I haven't missed a day of school due to anxiety this year, no unexpected full-blown panic attacks, I barely ever cry.
I'm stronger."


"I've been on Pristiq about a month now. Before that I was taking Lexapro for over a year. So far I like the Pristiq much better. Both worked to keep the anxiety and panic attacks away but with Lexapro I gained 20lbs and had zero energy. All I wanted to do was eat and sleep. With Pristiq I have tons of energy! I no longer want to lay in bed all day. I don't have much of an appetite so I'm hoping I can finally lose the weight I gained from Lexapro. I'm very happy I switched to Pristiq and hope it continues to work for me.

"I have taken Tenuate Dospan for 2 months; I take every other day. I lost 7 pounds so far. I feel great!"


"Doesn't work at all for me."


"I had it inserted 2 months ago, on the 3rd day of my period. The insertion itself was painful despite taking ibuprofen before. I continued cramping that whole day and the following one. Then, I spotted for 2 weeks, with regular cramping, usually not lasting more than an hour (but what an unpleasant hour!) I stopped spotting and cramping one week before my first period. I think that my period flow was lighter, but it's difficult to know because I usually use the cup, and I didn't then to let the IUD set in. It definitely was longer than usual, however. The second month has been smoother. I still spot regularly, but the cramps are now rare, and less intense. It has not affected my skin, weight, or emotions. Not perfect, but so far so good!"


"Made me sleepy and I didn't care about anything. However, I find that a small dosage combined with Wellbutrin XL 300 mg works great. They compliment each other as my doctor suggested."


"Does exactly what it says it does.  Helps stream and urine flow and eases discomfort.  Absolutely kills sex drive, causes abnormal ejaculate and possibly causes irritability.  Hopefully something better comes along, but I need it.  Take if you need it, but avoid if you can."


"I have been taking Spiro for about 5 1/2 months and am only now seeing and experiencing results-- so be patient! I started out on a 25mg dosage twice a day, moved up to 50mg after 3 months and just recently increased to 100mg. Do not be discouraged by the initial outbreaks. I pair it with Differin, which is a topical cream that helps with scarring but my face has finally started becoming incredibly clear for the first time ever. The side effects that I've experienced got more dramatic as I increased the dosage but were never severe enough to quit: Irregular period (sometimes twice a month, sometimes not at all, but will regulate itself after a while), Shortness of breath when exercising, and I have lost about 6 pounds in the last 2 months."


"Did excellent job with clearing up sinus infection.  4 days in, however, I got hit with pretty severe diarrhea. Dr. had me stop taking since I was so much improved in terms of the sinusitis and due to the side effects. Been 48 hrs of diarrhea.  And 24 since I terminated the medication. Hopefully it resolves with the probiotics I'm taking and cessation of the Ceftin. I am concerned about the severe colitis I've read about but we shall see."


"I've had multiple Synvisc, cortisone and aerations over the last 5 years. The process is easy and pretty much painless. The results were beneficial, but the pain would always return (usually in 6 month intervals) and get progressively worse in frequnecy and intensity. When the pain got so bad it was difficult to walk, then I would schedule another appointment. A little over 1year and 3 months ago, I decided to start strengthening my leg muscles with weights as apposed to cardio by walking and the elliptical. Do not do the leg extensions as I found out these only make things worse. I do leg presses and reverse leg curls with a compression brace on both knees. Most of the pain is gone (90%) at this time period and is still getting better."


"I've been on Adipex for 3 days now and I'm not hungry. I sleep good just get bad headaches and dry mouth. Haven't weighed in though. But it really does work."


"It seems to work. It brought the blood pressure down to normal."


"This medicine has been extremely effective for me. After the 1st dose I could feel a difference.  It has also helped with anxiety and depression. There are a few side effects such as night sweats, nausea, vivid dreams. Hopefully they will decrease with time, this is only my 3rd week on it."


"I am an 18 year old female who has only been taking this for about a month. I've had migraines for about 4 years and have been prescribed every kind of beta and calcium blocker you can think of. Right now, I'm taking this along with Tiazac and it seems to be the best combination for me so far. I no longer wake up with pounding headaches, nor get limb weakness or spots. My only complaint is that it takes a few hours to start working, and then it does so full force. I would say to definitely take this before bedtime, and don't plan on doing anything until you get a good rest."


"I started phentemine on september 15 and

As sep 23 I lost 8 lbs in a week I'm so happy I do have some side affects I'm always thirsty and I get constipated but after all is great it gives me energy threw the entire day I'm less hungry my start weight was 185lbs and now I'm at 177lbs looking forward to lose 50lbs more I exercise at least 4 times a week for at least an hour"


"Never made me happy but made the little things not so unbearable. Used to obsess over small problems to point of immobility. Better now but not a cure.

Have been on it for about 4 years and feels like getting less effective.  Really helped first few months to year. Now not sure but do notice if I miss a pill I am very angry anxious entire day"


"My son used this medicine and told me that it didn't work.  He ended up I the ER the other night because it offered no relief.  Don't buy. Use the regular proair."


"I have been on Suboxone since January 14, 2013. I started on 16 mgs a day and now am down to 6 mgs a day. These strips have saved me life and the lives of a few of my friends. The only side effect I have on these is that I can't sleep if I take it too late in the morning. My insurance covers the cost except for a 25$ copay. 25$ is nothing compared to what I was spending a month.  I have no cravings or pain and this allows me to live my life to the fullest and enjoy my beautiful children. This is a great way to come out of pain pill addiction and start your life over."


"I switched to this primarily due to the appeal of having only 4 periods a year and stayed on it for 3 years. Generally it was uneventful: I didn't gain weight, it had no effect (positive or negative) on my acne, my breasts stayed the same size. However, it destroyed my libido. It was so gone I thought I was asexual. It wasn't until I couldn't get my script refilled  (I couldn't get an appointment that mixed in with my work schedule), so I had to get off the pill, which then led me to find out that I am not asexual and, in fact, had a libido. Another down point was the spotting I got in between periods and the effects of the period seem to have been compounded (i.e. compared to pills for monthly periods). I was sore, tired, and irritable."


"Started with 10mg daily.  After 3 months my  cholesterol level just in borderline,  so the dosage was increased to 40mg daily.  This dose gave me muscle tissue pain on my right knee so I self discontinued."


"I was so worried about the taste and getting it down after reading the reviews.  My doctor said I could add lemonade powder to the solution. I also prepared it about 2 hours ahead and chilled it.  It did not taste bad at all!  I drank all of it within 20 minutes.  It began working in about 15 minutes for me and was done after about an hour and a half.  My procedure isn't until 1:30 tomorrow afternoon.  I will take my other half at 8:00 am.  I am worried about being hungry but not about getting the Suprep down. Not a bad experience whatsoever."


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


"Unbelievable... Appetite has been cut in half if not more, however eating healthy and keeping a food log to ensure calorie intake. Starting 2nd week increasing dosage to 1.2. Have experienced no side effects i.e., nausea, headaches, etc.  Career mandates extensive travel, has been easy to maintain overall calories without any "sugary cravings"."


"Personally, I've had it for about a week and a half and I've noticed no change with myself. I'm still the exact same weight, I didn't bruise at the insertion area. The only thing I noticed was a decrease in my appetite. I wasn't really hungry as much."


"After taking Mirapex for about a year then developing horrible nausea and vomiting, my doctor switched me to Requip 0.5 mg at bedtime. This time, the relief from RLS only lasted about a week. After that the nausea and vomiting returned with a vengeance and I had to discontinue the medication immediately."


"I've had my implant almost 3 years now. I was on the pill consistently I got pregnant and didn't know it. I lost the baby so this was my alternative to use since pills failed me twice. My periods have been irregular and lasting longer every other month. I've gained some weight with it but I'll choose this again just I don't have to bear losing another baby while on the pill and using protection."


"I am 18 and this is my first time taking birth control. I took the pill to be safe for when I go to college, and to get rid of my acne and regulate my periods. The first month I was doing fine, minimum to no weight gain, increase in breast size, but no change to my acne. However, when my period came, I experienced the worst cramps I have ever had! They were so bad I had to call out sick from work since I could not move without being in pain. My period was also a lot heavier, and it was different. I felt extremely nauseous and faint. Not to mention scared because the flow was so heavy. I am now on my second month and my cramps are worse and my mood swings are bad."


"I was so excited when I learned I was a good candidate for the mirena, after have 2 kiddos 17 months apart I was done for awhile! The initial insertion was a breeze! I didn't hardly feel it and as just a precaution I took some Tylenol and had no issues. That very next month my period was non existent. No cramping or bleeding, I was one happy mommy! Now we are going on a little over 2 years and something is terribly wrong! For the past 6 months I have been spotting (which I haven't had since before insertion?) Intense cramping and killer headaches. I have an appointment scheduled the first of the year and plan to take it out. Yes, the first 2 years were amazing but if this contraception is the cause of how I've felt lately it isn't worth it."


"Wow! I am 14 years old, my excessive sweating started at age 10 or 11. It's just been getting worse as becoming a teen. I would only ever wear black shirts to school. I spent every single day, for years worrying all day at school, "Will I sweat all through my sweater?" in class. It was miserable. 4 Days ago, I told a doctor, he told me to go get 'Extra Strong Drysol 35ml' And Oh My Goodness! Thank you Drysol. I have used it every night for the last three nights. Right at this moment, I'm wearing a tight blue shirt, that would be the worst to wear for sweating. I don't see a single drop!"


"I've been on Lexapro for probably 7 years now. I've had severe anxiety, panic attacks, mood issues, EDs, and depression for a long time. Lexapro has helped immensely. I had side effects for the first few weeks (night sweats, felt tired, maybe increased anxiety at first) but I stuck with it and it's been my staple drug throughout these years compared to the 20  I have tried. I ultimately needed to add a mood stabilizer to get further relief, but Lexapro is definitely a huge help in that. I am on 10mg and Lamictal 50mg"


"People are saying that the pain is not so bad but each body reacts differently - so please withhold the negative commentary. I have had numerous sports injuries (currently recovering from a torn calcaneofibular ligament in my ankle from soccer) and nothing compares to the cramp pain that I am continually experiencing. Since insertion, and this is now going on over a month, I have had cramps. This pain is with and without a period and it is non-stop. I had my IUD checked because of the pain and bloat, but these symptoms can last up to six months. I take 600mg of ibuprofen 2x/day and put a heat pad on at night when cramps seem to peak in intensity. I'm giving it one more month and if it does not improve, I will have it removed."


"I am taking this because I am pregnant and have hyperemesis.  This really is "the miracle drug.""


"Leveled out my moods, but very constipating and I still have no energy."


"This medicine makes me feel great. I take a yellow tablet and I am not nervous of having a panic attack."


"First of all I just started my full dose of 150mg twice a day. Dilantin I was allergic, Keppra made me not myself, Lamictal almost killed me.  So far this is working well, I feel much more like myself and my wife has told me it's nice to have her husband back. The price even with insurance is insane. But I'm two weeks from driving and just want something that works. So far so good!"


"I started taking this as an alternative to the Nuvaring which was giving me all sorts of troubles. I bled the entire time and after the first month, I decided I couldn't keep doing it. I bled for a little over a week after. I wouldn't say it's a terrible birth control pill, I just don't think it agreed with me."


"I have seen no benefits from this medication after months of use.  My migraines have increased to almost daily now and have also increased in their intensity.  "


"My doctor recommended me to take this medicine 5mg. My blood pressure became stable. Also I compare with other High Blood pressure medications. Not so much side effects and doesn't affect my work."


"really don't like the taste of it- i dread having to take it"


"Had second round of Botox injections in my bladder and have had constant UTI's and pain in my lower abdominal area ever since. I do not feel well all the time. I will not do this again. Not worth it."


"I have been taking Geodon for about two years for my borderine personality disorder. I am now starting to develop side effects. I take a lower dose and it seems strong enough. If I take more than my body can handle it makes my symptoms worse. I think I am developing diabetes because of the Geodon and my doctor doesn't listen to me when I voice my concerns. When the Geodon wears off in the everning I get anxiety. The anxiety is there until I take the Geodon. I used to take Haldol in a small dose once a day and had way fewer side effects."


"I have been on Ampyra for 5 days and have been so happy with this new pill. The first 2 days were NOT good with the side effects, but each day just gets better. I am able to walk better (without dragging my left foot) and get up from a kneeling position without to much effort. This new medicine has given me a new outlook on my future. Thank you for this medical wonder!"


"A miracle drug. Thanks. I didn't realize how much I had changed my life style.  I was always looking for a bathroom, my wife and I stopped taking long drives in the country for fear I would have to suddenly go and worst of all, I stopped going to sporting events because I was afraid I wouldn't make it home in time.  Lastly, I was getting up four or five times a night to go to the bathroom.  That is all over now and we are enjoying our lives again."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Suprep was not as disgusting as some people said in their reviews. While not pleasant, it was tolerable. I mixed the medicine with Sprite and using a funnel, poured the container contents into an empty 16 oz. water bottle. I used a straw to drink the mixture. After taking each few big sips, I ate a big bite from a popsicle to erase the taste. I then waited 5 or 10 minutes and did the very same thing over and over until the bottle was empty. This took about 30 minutes. Then over the next 2 hours I drank 32 ozs. of various, good tasting liquids. Within an hour, my bowels started to move. The next morning, I repeated the above process. I did not vomit or have any side effects. Three hours before my procedure, I was expelling just water."


"I was given this for 5 days,was a little hyper in the mornings but it cleared my uti right up.Would definitely take it again."


"Ambien didn't work for me at all and made me restless & crazy. Tried Belsomra 10 mg last night (I'm a small person and tend to be quite sensitive to meds). I think the dose was fine. Falling asleep was pleasant and reminded me of how I used to fall asleep before the insomnia -- all good. But it did not stop me from waking several times in the night, particularly between 2-4, with restlessness; I was able to return to sleep pretty quickly each time though. But after 9 hours, I woke feeling like I had been in REM sleep all night -- sort of skimming along the surface of sleep but not going deep for most of it. I don't feel refreshed at all and fell back asleep in the chair after a full cup of coffee. Not for me."


"I have been using it for 3 years already and I love it. I think it depends on each person, we are all different. I first started taking pills, but I had to stop since the headaches were horrific! and did not want to experience that pain again. The patch has been great."


"I was on Yaz for years. I didn't mind it, but I was getting a lot of headaches. I love Implanon, know its working no matter what I do, and that's very comforting."


"I've been taking this medicine for kidney spasms after having a kidney stone stent put in.  I started taking it before bed because I don't like the dizzy feeling I get but there is so much relief from pain from the kidney spasms I feel great in the morning. I just wake up with a bit of dry mouth."


"Topamax/Topiramate has been wonderful for tic reduction. I have a fairly obvious case and they are exhausting and embarrassing. I have minimal to no side effects, a little drier mouth perhaps, plus my 15/20 vision reduces to 20/20. I feel less anxious and less "pressure/need" to tic. I can take much lower doses of the brand name to achieve the same effect with the generic; but my insurance won't cover the brand name. It's 100mg twice/day generic versus half that amount brand version. It's still worth it!! I feel so much more in control and "almost normal"."


"I started depo mid Feb, I'm 38, can't have kids, but due to a work injury, my periods were aggravating my back pain. My period lasted 12 days. I then stopped bleeding, missed a period and was stoked thinking it was working...nope..for the last 37 days I have been bleeding. I had a scan, found a 3x7mm polyp and found that my uterus had backflipped and my endometrial wall was thick. I've just had my second shot, the doctor said 2 or 3 days and the bleeding should stop. Fingers are crossed, but I don't have high hopes, I'm looking into getting my uterus removed...that's how miserable the prolonged bleeding has made me. On the flip side though, my 19yo daughter got the injection the same day as me and has had no dramas what so ever."


"I  have been on  Lutera  for a few years now.  I  could not be happier with the results! I  noticed after the first few packs my period was diminishing.  After about 4  months I  had no period at all:  no spotting,  no  bleeding,  no pms,  no cramps,  no  mood swings. I  took several pregnancy tests over the next few months because I was scared that I didn't get a period.  But I  was never pregnant!

 So after all this time I'm still having no period and no PMS  symptoms. I  have to explain everytime I  go to the doctor why I can't put an answer on the question " when was the last date of your menstrual cycle?"

 "


"Worked the way it should at first, then I had my period every day for months. The doctor told me to "keep waiting" so I dealt with that for so long before I went to a different doctor to get it taken out. It was effective, but I was bleeding every day for 6 months and they didn't want me to take it out. I no longer go to that doctor. Also it cost 600 dollars and I was told my insurance would cover it, it did not. Terrible, frustrating experience. Left 2 dark scars as well."


"After 1 month on Brintellix I can't wait to get off! I have had constant nausea, mood swings, random itching, and uncontrollable crying that seems to come from nowhere. I did not experience any of these problems on Effexor although it did give me migraines at higher doses."


"Diagnosed with Crohn's 15 years ago.  Medicine varied with poor results for 9 years. Over 60% of my colon is bad.  Prescribed Humira 6 years ago.  On Humira I have recovered and stayed in remission.  I have had no negative side effects. I have been able to manage the shot every two weeks very well.

(Previous medications, such as pentasa and prednisone, did cause significant and bad side effects along with no help for the crohn's symptoms.)"


"I got the nexplanon in January it's only been a little over a month now. They said it has to be put in while I was only period so I got it put in about day 3 of bleeding and stopped in two days. Then started up a couple days later for only two days and I haven't had one since. No cramps no weight gain and no pregnancy so far. I use to take the pill but got pregnant twice while taking it like your suppose to. My Dr told me after you're on the pill for so long your body does start to not work as well and I was on the highest dose so after having my daughter I got the implant. I love it no alarm everyday to take the pill no shots ever couple months no having to do anything after they put it in your arm it's good for three years. Best bc I've used"


"I'm on the second round treating my face. I had some suspicious spots that were all removed with first treatment. I'm doing it again for maintanence and only have a few spots. I highly recommend trying this product. I'm grateful that my GP prescribed it and wonder why my dermatologist did not."


"I've been on Celexa (actually Citalopram - the generic equivalent) for several years for anxiety attacks.  It made a huge difference at first.  I started having issues with excessive fatigue, foggy brain, and sore joints.  Out of desperation, I tried an elimination diet going gluten free.  After about 6 weeks of being totally gluten free the fatigue, mind fog and joint pain subsided and I started getting the same side effects as I had when first getting on the Citalopram.  I cut my script from 40 mg to 20 mg and was feeling much better.  Over a year later, I'm still feeling much better.  I'm trying to ween myself off the citalopram - dropping to 10 mg was fine, but now, almost two weeks into no pills at all, I'm beginning to feel anxiety."


"Been on reclipsen for about a week and a half. My face is breaking out so bad, and I usually have very good skin. I feel swollen all over especially my face and legs, and lately I have been having pounding head ages not to mention the horrible cramps ."


"I had the implanon inserted in March 2017 and at first I hated it and wanted it out straight away within the first 2 months. My sex drive was fine. My mental state was fine too (I have suffered with severe depression before so was worried it would effect this but it didn't thankfully or hasn't so far!). I had just gotten into a relationship and the implanon made my skin go real bad. My face was in so much pain it really got me down as I just felt so ugly and fed up. So I went back to my doctor for advice and she put me on the pill for 3 months alongside the implanon. This worked a treat! My skin cleared up (sudocrem also helped a lot) so after 3 months I came back off the pill and things seem to be fine now. Give it a chance :)"


"I haven't necessarily experienced any adverse physical changes since I started taking this pill. No weight gain, no change in acne, my breasts are still the same size... However, I have transformed into a complete grouch. Although no one seems to notice, other than myself, I have been an emotional wreck. One minute I'm ecstatic, the next minute I'm tempted to rip my boyfriend's head off. I don't recommend this pill. "


"I got liletta inserted in August 2016 a lot of discomfort at first than I bled for 3 weeks afterwards thinking about getting it removed due to periods 2 to 3 times a month or when having intercourse I start bleeding my periods are more crampy and make me sick to my stomach plus been having a bloody discharge everyday.  I got it checked and the Dr said it was from the liletta . Just checking out other options before hand"


"Best fast acting tasty stuff ever"


"After a week of taking Lisinopril, I started coughing, a productive cough.  My doctor prescribed anti-biotics and allergy meds and I took them for almost a month with no relief.  He then prescribed steriods and a cough med with codeine.  I was okay for a week but my productive coughing came back.  I told my doctor it maybe caused by Lisinopril but he said that the side effect of it is dry cough but mine is productive cough.  After 3 months, my doctor said I could seek for a 2nd opinion and referred me to an ENT for a laryngoscopy.  The result, my nose and throat are normal.  The ENT doctor told me my coughing was due to Lisinopril.  I stopped taking Lisinopril and after 2 weeks my coughing stops. I hate Lisinopril."


"Has worked great for me for 15 years."


"I started ortho tri cyclen lo 4 months ago. The first month wasn't that great I got my period twice and had severe cramping. The second month I only got my got my period once during the placebo pills. Since I was 14 I started to break out and all the way to high school and college it still continued. Even after multiple dermatologist visits, laser treatments, Antibiotics nothing ever helped. I decided to give this a try and to be honest my acne has vanished about 100% of it. The first 2 months I still would break out but I noticed month 3 my skin was clearing drastically and by month 4 (in which I am now going into month 5) my skin seems flawless. I will get a breakout every once in a while but overall it has helped !!!"


"I am a 29 year old female. I had been experiencing moderate anxiety/insomnia for 2 years. I felt that I was getting better, but then the anxiety increased again (getting married in July). I started feeling what I guess was severely depressed. I couldn't eat anything or concentrate on anything. It felt as though my brain was broken or stuck in a nightmare. My doctor prescribed 10 mg of Citalopram. The first week or 2 were hard with side effects (racing heart, feeling extremely dizzy/hungover in the morning), but then I started feeling human again. It's 2 months now and I feel awesome 90% of the time. If I upped to 15 or 20 mg it might be 100%, but I like being on a low dose. No more side effects if I take it same time each day. Life is really fun again."


"So I got my implant in July 21st 2015. I've be bleeding since that day. Then this past weekend I had a heavy flow period for two days. I was going through 4 super pads an hour. Then I start feeling dizzy, so I went to the hospital. I lost half the amount of blood your suppose to have in your body. I had to get 5 units of blood over the period of 4 days before my blood levels were stable. I had my implant removed. I was really hoping this would work for me. I'm not trying to scare anyone, just sharing  my experience. This product is not for everyone."


"I started taking Depakote 500mg with Lexapro about 2 years ago. It made me feel like a zombie all day but worked well on my swings from extreme anxiety to deep depression and crying spells.  I was very tired all day and had a hard time waking up for work so we reduced to 250mg daily.  That seemed to be the sweet spot for me.  I don't think I have many side effects from it besides maybe trouble losing weight, I'm very active and eat well but never seemed to get any weight off.  I would also occasionally feel disconnected and distant from the world, but this was rare.

I can't imagine life without Depakote, it has it's problems but I can function again."


"I have always had amenorrhea (irregular periods) my whole life. Recently at 21, I discovered that I have PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome) by testing that was done. I am starting to take Metformin to help it. I have to have Provera prescribed every 3 months, for prevention of endometrial cancer. I have depression and PMDD, which is a severe form of PMS, so the only downside is that it makes me extremely depressed for when I do have my period. But it always makes me have my period by the third, fourth, or recently fifth day. It does what it is supposed to do though, and that is good."


"I'm not exaggerating when I tell you all: This medicine has truly CHANGED my life! After suffering with clinical depression and anxiety for over 12 years, this is the only medicine that has completely taken the anxiety away. I take it along with Prozac 30mg and WOW what a difference it has made for me. (I've been on Prozac for 8-10 years). The Prozac helps with depression, but since my main problem was anxiety, it didn't help very much with that. Xanax wouldn't work for me like it used to, and after this last debilitating episode of anxiety, I had lost hope that anything would work for me. I'm only on 10mg on Buspar and it's literally made me the way I was before I started suffering all those years ago.  I feel like the REAL ME again! Amazing!"


"So me and my bf had sex on June 24th, we decided to go raw for a little bit just to see how it felt (stupid, I know). A couple days later I checked my period tracker app on my phone and it said I ovulated the night we had sex and even though he didn't cum in me when we did it raw, precum has sperm in it! I ran to the drug store in a panic and took Plan B (about 42 hours after). The day I took it I  had a slight headache, other than that, no side effects. I was worried the pill didn't work I stayed up all night reading reviews from other women and worried myself to death. Yesterday I got my period 2 days before I was supposed to. The pill works don't overthink it!"


"I switched to camrese because my last birth control was giving me consistent debilitating migraines during the week of my period or if I forgot a pill. It was too unbearable to experience that every month. I'm now on my second pack of camrese/month 4 and so far it has been great. I enjoy only having to deal with getting my period every 3 months and I haven't had a migraine yet. Spotting happened for a short while in the beginning but it went away. No weight gain. I have been feeling more depressed just recently, but it's hard to know if it's the BC or situational. I'll be following up with my doctor."

"63/ y/o.  One hour into first dose.  I took it straight with cool water - drank it quickly, no problem with taste - drink it fast.  Before I finished the second glass of water, started the trips to the bathroom.  No nausea or cramping.  Get wipes!  Wish I'd read that.  So far, this prep is no worse than the symptoms that have me going to the colonoscopy.   Eating lightly for a couple of days helps.  Dose 2, who knows?  15 years ago used the prep that had one drinking glass after glass after glass, that was awful."


"Metformin can be harsh on the stomach but if it does not agree with you after a few weeks please please please ask for slow release version, your problems will be solved."


"It is a bit pricey but has been very effective at keeping my blood pressure in check. My readings have been very consistent.  I take the 80 mg and I have not experienced any side effects at all.
I haven't had any insurance but I get it for $39 with a prescription discount card.  I will see how the cost is when I get Medicare D."


"I was suffering from severe acne since I was 14 years, tried many tropical and antibiotics but failed,,
when I turned 17 I was on accutane 20mg, at beginning there were no results, even after 4 months ,nothing changed much, but after 5th month I could really see a difference, my face started clearing, even though there many scar and holes. but my parents stopped me on this medicine due to its serious side effects. my immune system became weak and I am suffering from tuberculosis now.
my parents blame the medicine for this disease as it had weaken my immune sys,, but it really got my face cleared. There are no outbreaks now but scar persist.
I would seriously recommend it but on an advice to get a regular checkup throughout your treatment,

GOOD LUCK"
