"I found this helpful in relieving the excess production of mucous and the resultant post-nasal drip which caused an irritating and continuous need to cough up phlegm. However I have not been using it for very long (3 weeks at 1 tablet per day taken in the morning) and twice have experienced light-headedness requiring me to hang onto something and to sit or lie down before I fall down. I normally have fairly low blood pressure but not sufficient to feel I am about to faint."


"I've had the nexplanon for over 2 years now. The whole time I never really had a period, light spotting here and there.  Now it's close time to get removed and out of no where I have a full blown cycle, HEAVY."


"I took Lo Loestrin Fe for 9 months. It was the first contraceptive I had taken but my body had a hard time getting used to it. I broke out in mild hives, I had muscle aches, nausea, mood swings the first week. After that things pretty well smoothed out slowly I didn't break through bleed, didn't gain weight, acne cleared up maybe 5 periods the whole time I took it. It definitely helped with cramps and pain, which is why I began taking it. Though it worked good after about 5 months of taking it I began getting migraines and feeling tired all the time and cramping a little more so I'm switching off it, but it was good for me for a while I really liked it!"


"The medication works well for clearing up a UTI. However, it makes me very very nauseous. I have certain bouts during the day that I feel like I'm going to vomit. Drinking lots of fluids help with the nausea, but it's pretty miserable. I would prefer the nausea over a UTI though."


"I've been taking this birth control for about a year now and I actually went on it because of my awful mood swings. I would uncontrollably cry about anything and everything so I figured maybe birth control would help even out my hormone levels. I think it has helped with evening out my hormones and controlling my mood swings although I still have days where I am awfully moody. I did gain a little weight on it.. nothing noticeable to the outside world except me. I've always had acne prone skin and it hasn't helped or worsened it. Overall it's been pretty good although I am trying to switch to an implant because I've gotten annoyed with taking it every day."


"Viagra costs about $49 for a 50 mg tablet. A 20 mg tab of Sildenafil purchased with a legit coupon brought the cost to about $.66 cents a tablet.  Works as well as a 50 mg cut in half.  For about $68 received 90 tablets.  Why would anyone pay for Viagra when it is the same as Sildenafil?  I am a 66 y/o with a happy wife.  I just needed a little help and this did it for me without breaking the bank."


"After years of hard drinking I woke up yesterday in the throws of death. Hands shaking so hard I couldn't type. Sweating. Spasms. Vomiting. Trouble breathing. I couldn't even walk my legs were like jello.

Having had hallucinations and seizure in the past from withdrawals I had two options. Go get beer (not an option, I was having panic attacks), or go to the ER. I opted for the ER. They gave me Libruim and hour later and every symptom stopped in about 30 minutes. The doc gave me a prescription for a week, and sent me off my way. I figured I'd start the next day, however I found sleep that night impossible. I decided to take 2 Librium at 4am and slept for 7 hours. I'm not even sure how I can type right now."


"Diagnosed with TN (glad to learn about it and find out I'm not dying of a brain tumor or something) - the pain is horrific.  I've been on the generic form of Tegretol (Carbamazepine) 100 mg 3x per day for 3 weeks.  I still have episodes of pain a couple times a day, but at least I can walk around, talk and eat without the excruciating pain I had been experiencing.  Only downside is I feel like a zombie - tired, and "out of it" - but like others have said - I'd take that any day over the near constant pain I was having."


"This medication made my depression worse. I couldn’t even get out of bed to take care of my little one and when I did get out of bed I would just lay on the couch like a zombie. I barely ate and gained 20 pounds. I’ve been on this for 3 months now and my doctor won’t take me off of it. It’s ruining my life and my relationship with my family"


"I have been put on Valium to relieve the muscle spasms and aches due to the reduction of Prednisone, which I have been taking for a long period of time (26 years). Anyway this reduction of Prednisone has caused me quite a bit of muscle spasms, muscle aches, and muscle pain. The 10 mg of Valium relieves the muscle spasms and achiness. I feel the Valium is a God send for my relief. I take one 10-mg tab of Valium every morning when I wake up, as that is when the muscle pain is most severe. The Valium is effective in relieving the effects of the tapering down of my Prednisone level. Valium works very well for me. I rate the Valium a 10 in my relief!"


"Within one week of taking this medication my pain started to abide. By the end of a month the pain that I had been suffering from for years was gone."


"I was a Zombie and gained so much weight. Now I take Lamictal and so much better.  "


"Okay I know these meds are supposed to help people but I have been on a train to hell with these dang antidepressants!  Zoloft....ICK!!!! My god in heaven I was sick for eight weeks on this stuff!! It never went away in fact the longer I was on it the sicker I seemed to get. I lost five pounds and just the sight or thought of food made me want to throw up! It made me feel even more depressed the whole time I was on it...I felt like a zombie, I was tired ALL of the time. Finally I threw I away. My husband decided he wanted to give it a shot so he went to the Dr to get a prescription for it. 8 weeks later he was worse!"


"I had constant spotting, painful intercourse, my husband said he could feel the string. I had horrible cramping and at the end I was in so much pain. I felt like I was about to give birth, my doctor told me to come in immediately and my body was trying to expel because it was half way out. "


"I had Paragard for nine years, and it worked really well. I had it removed about a week ago since my husband had a vasectomy. I did have super heavy periods and heavy cramping during my time with paragard. I have light periods and never have cramps with my period. It was worth to have such heavy periods as to not get pregnant. I can't take birth control pills due to hormones gave me horrible migraines (I tried many different types). This was such a life savor. I would highly recommend it to anyone."


"Helps every time"


"I'm 43 years old and have had a chronic stage fright that I'd rather DIE than speak in public. I learned last week that I'd be lecturing in front of 50 or so people all Saturdays of March and April 2016. My initial thought was to RESIGN! But I can't for economic reasons, besides I'm doing well here and respected by everyone. Long story short, I googled for quick relief for stage fright as I've suffered for this since I was 11. Trembling voice is my biggest problem. Inderal is a modern day miracle! I poppped in 2 tabs 10mg each an hour before my presentation made sure i've full stomach. When my turn came, no raising heart! AND NO MORE TREMBLING VOICE!!!! I feel i can conquer all now! This was just yesterday and it felt great!"


"This hurts so bad I'm not sleeping at night I'm in constant pain from the medication. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and reporting this I feel like I stuck poison in my ear. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS U WANNA BE IN SO MUCH PAIN!!!!"


"On the 2 0r 2.5 mg as an add on to Trintellix.  Definite noticeable improvement on mood and energy.  No weight gain.  The effects seem to be intermittent, so I'm hopeful my dosage will be increased on the next visit to my P-doc.  It shows potential of being a life changer for the positive.  I think an up to 5 mg may do the trick :)  Great there is a $4 generic for my insurance."


"No cramping in my legs and feet at night. I can get several hours of restful sleep, finally :)"


"I suspect causation between Micardis (40mg) and BPPV. I've missed my dose a couple of times, blood pressure rocked up to 140/90's and I felt great the following day. Normally BP is 120/80's on 40mg but I feel like crap with a general level of dizzyness through the day. Sparadoic episodes but this BPPV episode has lasted 6 months now.  Worse in morning and means lying down/standing up takes special headmoves to minimise dizzy episode."


"Symbyax has changed my life. I have battled treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, paranoia, and bipolar 2 for all of my life. I'm 46 years old. Since age 18, I've tried probably every SSRI there is, including Prozac by itself. I won't list all the SSRIs and mood stabilizers I've tried because it would be a very long list. Nothing ever worked. I had a great career, but my problems have caused me to lose numerous jobs. The only time I felt how I thought I should feel was when I was on painkillers for surgeries; however, I knew that was not a treatment or sustainable. My doctor prescribed Symbyax (Prozac + Zyprexa). Within a day I was experiencing life the way I've always wanted to. I'm energetic, social, engaged, happy, etc. Great medicine"


"I was ok to start with, but 3 days in I felt so sick and achy to my stomach. I ate just before I took the 400mg dose 3 times a day. I had a permanent ache in my tummy and a horrible taste in my mouth. I was kept awake a night, and also had sore mouth, headaches, dry mouth and throat. Also on the 2nd dose I would become dizzy. Apart from that they did the trick."


"Ok so I felt irritation yesterday but I was so sleepy I didn't feel like walking to the store (dumb car brakes went out) so this morning I showered nd checked to see if in fact this was a YI coming on. So I had the strength to walk to the store, came home nd inserted the ovule then applied some cream 7am... I bought the Monistat 1 maximum strength cute and itch relief... Took a long much needed nap and now 1:05pm I feel like wiping down below but no more irritation nd the burning still has yet to come, not my first time using it, I've never had a problem with this and I always buy the same one. If you're burning and irritated to an extreme extent then go to the er don't put faith in ur own hands then blame medication when it could be you!!!"


"The doctor didn't warn mean it was putting dog steroid ointment in my eye so I had no choice to continue using it :/ I was diagnosed with allergic conjunctivitis and the doctor told me to put the ointment 2x a day for 7-10 days..pharmacist said 5-7 so idk I'm gonna stop at 5 because I'm scared of using this it makes my eyes really dry and whole eyelid greasy/sticky :("


"2 hours after taking flagyl 500mg, menses bleeding started. My period wasn't due for 10 days and I'm pretty regular. The blood was bright red and heavier than my usual period. This is the second time this has happened after taking one dose."


"Celebrex has helped me now for over 5 years. I have Arthritis in one old disc injury and pain in the next one. I have tried nearly all of them and nothing worked as well as this. Just don`t know how long to continue but I am only 49. I take 400 per day. "


"Started depo in Nov 2015

Wasn't too bad at first but I did get the occasional spotting and bleeding.Which sucked because it always happened when I went to see my bf(long distance relationship)

Got my 2nd shot and the doctor said after this the bleeding should stop. A day later no bleeding. I was like great.

Went to Jamaica in April.

2nd day im there, I start getting these cramps so I decide to go to the bathroom and check and wtf do I see? Blood.

Since April 19th I have not stopped bleeding.

It's now May 26th.

It does say that if the bleeding persists for more than 14 straight days, to contact your doctor. Which I did

He said that this wasn't for me at all and I'll be switching to the pill."


"Well where do I start? Middle aged mom of three and wife and a year ago
 it all went down hill. So I go to my doctor explain things and how I'm feeling and she prescribed me this medicine to me at 75mg a day then upped it to 150mg. The first few days I was so ill and sleepy I was passing out in the middle of sentences (eyes rolling back and body tremors) so I tried it for 6 months it really affected being able to orgasm which I didn't know it would do? So I started to ween myself off without doctors consent because its clearly NOT working to control my anxiety my mood swings or bringing a balance to my ADD/OCD. The nausea is horrible, the dreams are HORRIFIC I attacked my husband in my sleep and he had to pin me down. Don't take this medicine!"


"have used Biaxin (actually now always the generic version) for many years. Works great for me, always makes me feel much better within 12-18 hours of taking the first pill. Never had ANY side effects, except metallic taste - which has never bothered me (never been very strong). Great drug, wonderful for my chronic sinusitis. (Hint: I eat lots of miso when taking antibiotics; does wonders for my GI when taking antibiotics. Miso soup, miso on top of rice, miso in various dishes; just make sure you get the longest fermented one you can find - I buy 2-yr miso.)"


"I absolutely LOVE NuvaRing. I've been on it now for almost 3 years and I've never had an issue with it. I don't notice it at all even during sex. I've been having unprotected sex for the entire time I've been on it and never once had an issue. My cycle is so perfect, it comes the same day, same time every month no questions asked!"


"Strattera was my first treatment after I was diagnosed with ADHD PI for six months. First week on 40 mg, then 80 mg and the last three months on 100 mg. I didn't improve any symptom, but it worsen everything. I got negative effects, from the sexual side (no erections just after taking Strattera,). My mood was really unstable, with peeks of depressing episodes and rage outbursts on the last weeks.

Now I'm quitting it, and I got some discontinuing effect as tension on my head and anxiety. On the next week I'll start with methyphenidate and I hope the best."


"I have severe fibromyalgia and possibly still undiagnosed endometriosis. I'm currently in the hospital (admitted) and they have been giving me 1mg of dilaudid every 4-5 hours for pain. It helps so much but eventually it wears off within the 3rd hour. This is through the IV. I have been sitting up and getting back to my self. The 2 cons: super drowsiness and it is addictive. I worry becoming dependent on it but at the same time it relieves my pain better than Norco."


"I started taking chantex once I started my new job. I normally smoke a pack- a pack and a half a day. And just about everything is a trigger for me. I literally live 20 minutes away from work, and I'll smoke 2 cigarettes there, and home. I've always been the type to smoke half a cigarette and then throw it out because I didn't want it anymore, but then 10 minutes later I would light up another one. I'm on day 15 now, and I've cut down to about half a pack a day. I'm trying to quit completely, but I'm having a hard time getting the timing right. (I am a freak when it comes to wasting money, weird I know considering I smoke). The first few days I had very vivid nightmares. But that's about it for side effects."


"The Paraguard is HANDS DOWN, THE BEST METHOD OF BIRTH CONTROL! I had a lot of trial and error finding the right kind of birth control for me. I've tried Plls, the Depo Shot and The Implanon. They always had some kind of bad side effect on me from weight gain to acne to migraines. I just wanted something all natural that would get the job done. I decided to give The Paraguard a try even though I didn't like the fact of something being inserted in my uterus. It's done an amazing job. Insertion and removal were quick and almost painless with some mild cramping. Periods were light and maintainable. I couldnt "feel" it either. Now I'm ready to have my first baby but it's going right back in afterwards!"


"I was on Microgestin Fe for 8 months. At first I had no symptoms and it worked great. Then after about 5 months I started having irregular bleeding. Almost as if I was having 2 periods a month. I also had a low sex drive. I would hardly have any lubrication during intercourse which was never a problem before I started taking this. I also gained about 10 pounds during the time I was on it. "


"I've had OAB for 10 years, no leakage, just urgency/frequency, varying between awful pressure or just niggly frequency. Tried everything over the years and finally had botox 2 weeks ago. Well, what a complete waste of time - it has not worked, the pressure is so intense, it feels worse than before! Saw the nurse today, peeing ok by myself (no catheter required) and no retention, no UTI. She said I have to allow 4 weeks for "it all to calm down" but I'm not holding out much hope. She is arranging for me to see the urologist asap but that will still be another 4 weeks. Sick of my life revolving around my bladder."


"I was on Dilantin (300 mg per day) over 20 years of my Air Force career with no side effects and no seizures. I was unknowingly switched to a  generic brand and immediately began having seizures. Attempts to use compensate with Trileptal, Keppra, Vimpat, etc. did not completely remove my seizures like Dilantin. My neurologist is transiting me back to brand name Dilantin so my insurance will cover the cost."


"This birth control has been for the most part great for me, its the first one I tried. The only downside is super low libido but that's about it, no other side effects for me."


"Prescribed this medication for 5 days for UTI after Day 2 my symptoms were almost gone. However during the course of treatment, I had terrible flu like symptoms and my heart was really racing and pounding. It was scary. Nevertheless I finished all the antibiotics and after one day without treatment, the UTI symptoms came right back! SMH wow so now I have to call the dr. In the morning.
This medication didn't have work for me for a UTI it only eased the symptoms during treatment."


"I felt better with in the first week, it was great for a while until I realized I couldn't really feel emotion I was a numb happy I thought it was really strange to not be able to cry or feel upset at all ever, even if i was hurt, I also had really bad migraine headaches often, but on the upside I was able to function in social situations, work, interact with my children more positively and everyone around me seems to like me a lot more when I was on it. - Oh & it's very expensive, I was on 10 mg ,27yrs old, female, took for about10 months."


"My experience with Actiq was like a miracle.  I get many, very severe migraines, especially when I am in a stressful, rushed situation.  Some of these occasions are holidays, birthdays, etc.  I would try to prepare ahead of time, but frequently I would get a migraine.  When a bad migraine doesn't abate after the usual rescue and pain management medicines, I would take Actiq, without it I can't participate with my family to help with any preparations, spend any time with them, and can't even sit down to have a meal with them.  After several times of a ruined holiday or special times with family, they either forget you or resent you.  Children don't understand at all.  So, the next time there's a special event, you get nervous thinking of it."


"I get gout in both big toe joints a couple of times per year and have always been to busy to go to the Doctor.

I started off having tablets from friends who suffer from gout and tried a few different types that they had been prescribed and always kept on stand-by! The best one I've found (and I've suffered for several years now) was Naproxen. My friends would give me a few pills and they would relieve it every time. Some other NSAIDs did not work at all.

After doing a bit of research I discovered that Naproxen is a prescription drug. However, it is contained in Feminax Ultra which is sold over the counter for period pain only. I always keep a pack near me and take 4 pills as soon as I feel it starting. Works every time."


"I have been taking this pill for almost a week now and I am experiencing very bad headaches, stomach aches, drowsiness, moody, and depression. I have tried the bc shot, and about 4 other different kind of pills. Birthcontrol pills make me ill to say the least, but I will keep taking microgestin for a month to see if it will magically not make me feel sick. So far not so good. My family already think I should quit taking it because I'm feeling sick and they don't want to see me go through that again. I'm 18 just graduated from hs in June and for prom and grad night at Disneyland I was completely sick from the pills stomach hurt BAD. So I'm hoping my body adjusts well to these new pills  praying . Everyone has different side effects."


"I would have to say wow! It helped me focus during school. I used to be an average student, now I have straight A's. and I don't have a problem getting anything done"


"Gianvi works great to control my periods.  I used to only get a period sporadically, once every four months or so.  Gianvi regulates my period so I don't have to worry about it.  My breasts grew tremendously on this pill. My boyfriend obviously see this as a pro, but some of my clothes don't look as nice with these obnoxiously large breasts.  I did gain some weight, but only because this pill increased my appetite.  I still workout six days a week and do not feel sluggish.  Gianvi totally cleared my skin except for the occasional pimple.  My sex drive is the same.  Overall I would definitely recommend Gianvi as a birth control method."


"Do NOT get an IUD. Got inserted on 10.9.17. Even after taking 4 ibuprofen to prepare for the pain it was excruciating for 4 days. I ended up going to the ER. Mind you, I’m 8 months post baby so it shouldn't have hurt that much. Side effects: cramping/pain, mood swings, back pain, vaginal infection...which I just found out after a month of having this thing in I have BV. I literally just pulled it out on my own since my Dr. refused to remove it and kept convincing me to keep it in just because my side effects are slightly better. DO NOT GET AN IUD. Remember, Drs. profit off of RX’s. I refuse to suffer for longer than a month. The infection was the last straw which I KNOW the IUD caused because I was tested during insertion and was negative."


"It is very, very good for breast cancer, lung cancer."


"My dermatologist put me on this and Aczone.  I was 85% clear in just two weeks!  I'm over 30."


"It has almost been two weeks since I started taking this. It was a rough first three days but after I hung in there, I started to notice some changes.  Today is day 12 and I came to work.  My boss gave me chocolate, and there were homemade treats in the break room.  Not only did I not taste them or eat them, I didn't even want to.  That has never happened.  I hope this trend continues but only time will tell."


"I'm on 37.5 and I started in Nov-13- 2014. I weighed in at 295.... Now, March 13th I am down to 235. It's amazing! Huge HUGE appetite suppressant, I would have to remind myself to eat. I didn't take it everyday. I would take it 3 days on a week . I have a 6 month prescription. Still have bottles left!! I want to get down to 180 and I know that it will be done very shortly. The best thing, even on my days off I have healthier eating habits. I do have insomnia. But I find that melatonin helps, and taking it around 7am it begins to wear off around bedtime. I also have tons of energy on it also. And its a good mood stabilizer. All and all I wish I could be on it forEVER! Even if the weight loss wears off, for the other effects!"


"After heart surgery in 2014 I went from having normal sleep to insomnia and vivid dreams. After 10 months I medications and dietary supplements.  I have recently tried Lunesta and I have found that I only get 2-3 hours sleep on Lunesta and I do have that taste in my mouth went to a doctor. We have been trying different the next day. Ambien works great but it is a wicked medication to take for very long.  You build up a tolerance to it and the withdrawals, for me, are 2 nights without any sleep.  My doctor and I are still working on a treatment and a cure. Medical Marijuana is out of the question for me but has been recommended by my Colorado relatives but I'm not going there."


"I got a titration packet and it relieved my pain within a few hours of taking it. I was so very happy and excited. I slept well. However, on day 3, I started having horrible stomach cramps with it and had to stop it.
Now I am trying Lyrica. We'll see how that goes. "


"Been using the patch for eight years. Never had a scare and no side effects and so easy to use"


"It definitely works. I've been on it for six months and have not become pregnant. There was slight nausea and some change in irritability but I am overall happy with it. My skin is also flawless!"


"I have had a spastic colon for over fifty years and this product has been the only one that has provided relief on a sustained basis.  I tried everything else over the years, but if they worked as all, the relief only lasted for a week or so.  I still have a few days of constipation, but so much better than without the product."


"Experienced weight loss, muscle gain, and I slept better."


"I have been living in pain for 7 years. Four back surgeries and still very little relieve. I am new to this medication, but so far it has worked great. It is really wonderful to have hope again!"


"I have been taking Cialis  for 3 years now.  I am healthy, exercise, and not overweight.  The reason for adding Cialis to my daily vitamins is that my partner likes a daily intimate time.  With intimate time 5 to 6 days a week I fine that both of us have a very special time.  She knows I take it and has no problem with what I call my daily vitamin.  I see my cardiologist and have blood work yearly.  So far all lights are green and thumbs up."


"This medicine has the worst side effects of any drug I have ever taken. I think it should be taken off the market. Although the hot flashes were diminished a bit, the terrible withdrawl symptoms are worse than the hot flashes ever were. The so called "brain zaps" are debilitating. I have them almost constantly. My Dr. told me to wean myself off it, but since it comes only in capsule form, and only comes in one strength, that is difficult to do. I went from 1xday to every other day then stopped. I realize the weaning process was too short and this is likely the reason for the severe symptoms. I can't help but wonder if these will ever go away. Does anyone know how long this is going to last? I feel like I'm losing my mind."


"Severe neuropathy pain in both hands and feet for over a year. Was just sent to a pain management doctor who prescribed 24 mg of Exalgo once daily along with 4 mg of Dilaudid every 6-8 hours. Now have no pain whatsoever. This is a true miracle."


"After years of pain, bloating, anal bleeding, fissures, chronic constipation,
being told to eat more fibre, tears, and several trips to hospital I was prescribed Constella (Europe brand) by a Consultant.
It is a miracle drug but I have found it hard to fit Into a long working day due to the fact that once it works I need to stay close to the toilet! I seem to keep going until empty.(where does it all come from!!)  I experience some very loose watery stools and can become light headed. I take the tablet in the evening in the week which means I am often late to bed and social activities are restricted but it beats the misery of severe constipation. Having read helpful reviews I am going to try taking it before bed to see if I can hold until morning."


"I'm 18 and started Ziana about 6 months ago. My acne got so much worse for about 2 weeks and my skin peeled for a couple months (use face lotion!) but as of now my acne is just about gone, a few occasional spots, and some peeling still, but that's okay! This stuff really works but patience is key! As usual with a person, stress makes you break out at this age, so the medication doesn't really stop that."


"This is the second time I've had to take a single dose of 1000mg of Azithromycin. The first time was Zithromax and today I took the generic version. Both times I had pretty much the same experience:

I had some pretty painful cramping and bloating within 1 hour of taking it and 2 hours later I had to rush to the toilet. After the first time on the toilet I felt a lot better, I literally felt like my entire digestive system had been cleaned out. After another 2 hours I was on the toilet again, not as bad as the first time.

All in all I'm giving it a rating of 10/10 because let's face it, a bit of diarrhea for getting rid of Chlamydia is a small price to pay. If anything, I'll be making sure I never have to be in this situation again."


"I have been taking Phentermine 15mg for about 1 week now.  I try to not step on the scale every morning but I can't help it. All of these veggies and calorie counting is killing me! On the bright side, it seems that I am losing a half of a pound a day so far. I am not exercising as of YET, but I will make time for it. I always keep a bottle of water near me due to the DRY mouth. But I like it so far and I can't wait to see the end results!!! Good luck everyone!"


"Out of a dozen over the counter and homebrew/natural remedies for persistent cough (which lasted well after any other symptoms of the cold virus/mild flu that I experienced a month or more ago) that I tried, Mucinex DM is the only one to give me any real relief from an urge to cough thru the day.  I sleep just fine but don't feel anything like post nasal drip, or acid reflux or any obvious culprit.

I did go to the clinic that I could afford to, got a shot, an inhaler and an antibiotics script. That worked a bit, for about a week, but when the cough came back, Mucinex did just about the same job. Not a perfect solution by any means but when I compared it to the other brands of things tried it was fine"


"I just got Skyla today and the insertion was a little weird. The cramping was only slightly worse than my usual period cramps, but they didn't last for nearly as long. The dr did give me an ibuprofen which seemed to help later on. I was able to go to work just a few hours after my appointment. I did have some spotting but a panty liner was all I needed. My dr said to wait up to 4 weeks for it to be 100% effective and to not use tampons for about 2 months or until the strings coil behind the cervix(she said tampons could accidentally pull it out it misplace it if it got tangled in the tampon) Hopefully it's worth the wait and 2 months of pads in the summer! The upside was my insurance completely covered skyla. Way less worrisome than a pill."


"works about the same as Lortab and Vicodan"


"I've been using Microgestin 1.5/30 for a few months and it's worked really well for me.  I've had terribly heavy, painful periods for 20 years - heavy enough that despite using Ultra tampons with maxi pads, I'd have to run to a bathroom every 2-3 hours.  On one occasion, I ended up in the ER because I was going through super plus tampons every 20 minutes for over 3 hours. I was a little nervous to try the Microgestin but my side effects have been minimal.  A little bit of spotting, a little moodiness, a little acne, but I've lost a few pounds and the bleeding is finally under control for the first time in over 20 years. I'm thrilled."


"Thank you for sharing all these posts.  I have been in severe pain for almost 40 years.  I have been through doctors and pain medicine. I finally got prescribed this medicine last month. Have had good results from it as the post say.  As like many, I feel embarrassed to ask for medicine. The Dr.'s make you feel like a drug addict asking for pain medicines.  This is sad when there are real people out there that need this medication."


"I am a 57 year old breast cancer survivor who has been in excellent shape, trim and happily married. After menopause, I developed insomnia, weight gain and depression.  Can no longer take estrogen due to breast cancer, which made me feel tired all the time. Thyroid medicine helped but not enough--No energy and lost interest in doing things.  My doctor insisted I try SSRIs such as Lexapro and Zoloft, but had bad side effects. I tried many supplements--not much help.   I tried Bupropion HCL SR 150 mg.  It worked right away. I take early morning and have energy all day.  I did not have side effects (lost 2 pounds! and insomnia if taken after 10 am).  Changed my life! Been on it 4 months."


"it was great but i got shingles from it,but hope to start it up again i see my doctor tomorrow,it saved me from deep depression"


"I have PCOS. We tried to conceive for 6 years before we went on Clomid I got pregnant on the 3rd month. She is 4, now we are trying again but this time seems harder. We have been on Clomid for over a year. I conceived but miscarried conjoined twins at 11 weeks. My doctor says we can try again in 3 months so back on the Clomid I go."


"Thank you all for the reviews! Got me through a lot of stressing! Plan b works! Ladies at first it may seem like forever! I had unprotected sex and had to wait almost two weeks late for my period to come on! At first I had a brown discharge and this morning got my period!"


"I was first prescribed Valium about 18 months ago to assist with combating panic disorder. My personal experience with generic brands of the drug have been, without a doubt, excellent. I believe my improvements are due to the combination of Valium, regular CBT therapy, and making consistent changes (ie pushing myself socially, improving diet and exercise). Many of us, can become overly reliant on medication, so I feel a holistic approach is needed for real, long term results. However, for moderate to severe anxiety/panic attacks, Valium is INCREDIBLE. Gives a true, gradual calming effect, with no grogginess or next-day hangover. The effect can only be described as feeling clear-headed. Definitely worth a try."


"I started Victoza 6 weeks ago and lost 5 quick pounds. I have not lost a siongle pound since. I am on 1.2 plus 5 clicks on the pen. Has anyone else experienced no weight loss. My sugars are about 120 to 115. "


"I'm 20 and been on this patch for 5 months and love it! First week was bad because of bad headaches and nausea but that went away."


"After being prescribed Zoloft, Lexapro, etc., over the past 5 years for my "anxiety", I finally found this medication actually chills my constant anxiety.  Mind you, I have never been depressed.  I take it at night before bed (15 mg), and it slowly puts me to sleep, unlike Ambien. I do have vivid dreams but I wake up feeling well rested and with energy.  Unlike Ambien, which stayed with me the next day and zapped my energy.  I say, please give this a try for your anxiety.  If you are more depressed, you might need another medicine.  I found all the antidepressants I've tried for my anxiety, make me more anxious and oddly, depressed.  I hope this helps those with mild to moderate anxiety, as it did myself."


"After being on birth control for 4 months and never missing a pill, the night I had sex for the first time I had forgotten to take my pill that day. After having sex, we realized the condom had broke and I tried not to freak out. The next morning I went to the pharmacy and bought Plan B about 10 hours later. I took it and it was the worst month of waiting for my period to come because I had just gotten off my period when I had sex. It took forever but 3 weeks later it finally came 1 day early and I am so relieved!!! Plan B is the best 50 dollars I've ever spent."


"I had the same problem. Always had to wear black or a zipper up/sweater to cover it. My doctor prescribed this to me and it's like a gift from heaven! It burned so bad though. I couldn't really take it, so for all you girls out there that try it and have the same results ask your doctor to prescribe you triamcinolone lotion. You put it on after and there's no burning or swelling or anything! And it leaves your underarms super soft for shaving rather than irritated from the treatment. I definitely recommend this. "


"I've been diagnosed with GAD with panic attacks. We have now tried cipralex (canadian version of Lexapro). I started on 10 mg and it seemed to help a bit. It helped with the protruding thoughts of suicide (without intent)  I've been on 20 mg for about 2.5 weeks. I take it at night because it makes me tired. I still have a lot of anxiety in the morning and have to take ativan to get relief. I've been noticing the last few days that the negative thoughts are popping back in my head. When it happens, I feel like a panic attack is going to start but it goes away. I'm wondering if I'm suffering a bit of OCD.  Has anyone tried 30mg of cipralex and has it helped with anxiety and OCD?"


"I have had this given through IV 2x and each time it cause my heart rate to go up to 200 and up,  it never lowered it.  Yes I had the crazy heavy feeling (like an elephant is on my chest) couldn't breath and was hot and dizzy not good! I will not allow doctors to inject this while having an episode I get another medication that works for me.  Unfortunately adenosine doesn't!"


"Horrrible !!! ...made me silent & socially disabled sucked happiness just feeling irritated & flat ..wasn't effective at all for my symptoms also increased anxiety dramatically when I upped the dose to 4mg..."


"I have taken Provigil for 5 years now (since I was 16) 400 mgs a day, as the lower dosage was ineffective. It has been a Godsend. I really struggled through school, and whilst it didn't help me get top grades, it did wonders for keeping me awake during lessons. I'm awake for around 15 hours a day, with a 2 hour nap in the afternoon and 7 hours sleep at night. The best part is being able to have a sleep pattern, something which beforehand, I could never experience. Without this drug I couldn't never get anything done."


"After switching from cyproterone acetate to spironolactone, I found that apart from increased urination, it works almost as well to decrease androgen levels. It does what it is supposed to, and for that, I'm very happy!"


"September 8, 2015
I've been on Contrave since June19 and I've lost 32 lbs. I completely stopped drinking Pepsi and I drank alot of it, lol. I also am a diabetic and my sugar was running over 400 (probably from Pepsi), and taking care 4 shots of insulin a day. Thanks to Contrave I don't take shots anymore, my diabetes is under control and I feel great. I need to lose about 100 lbs more, but this is a great start. I didn't really start losing til the 4th week but once I started taking 4 pills a day I wasn't hungry anymore. Well thats my experience so far taking Contrave. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 3 months. Good luck to everyone."


"I was prescribed Vicodin when I had my 1st back surgery 15 yrs ago! It helped and 2 years later I had my 2nd back surgery! The Vicodin became less effective so I went to pain management and was put on the Duragesic patch which changed my life with the pain! I took myself off of Vicodin and eventually took myself off of the patch! I still live in pain but no longer depend on pain medication."


"This drug has been fantastic,I  have been on and off certain anti depressants most my life (am 32) I would be fine for a while then things would get to much.  My doctors have just put me on a higher dose of this and I am on 300mg a day I feel calmer and can think things through first, but there is a down side..  don't ever miss one.  Before I was on my higher dose I was at 225mg a day and I missed a day and a half as had forgotten to get more and was waiting for my repeat prescription, thinking this would be ok, oh how wrong I was, it felt like everything was really loud and ppl were shouting as they were talking. I couldn't concentrate on a conversation one min I wanted to cry. In all a good medicine but don't miss any."


"my eye had a 34 IOP, yesterday's it was at 16 so Lumigan has been very effective. I apply my drops in the morning which is not the normal but work for my life schedule. My doctor doesn't approve but can't give me a good reason why it should be applied before bedtime, as it's obviously working well.

my ask: it would be nice to have a view window on the bottle as it's very difficult to know how much remains."


"Can't get an erection since I started it."

"I'm on 80mg. It has helped a lot with my delusions, though I still get them to an extent. I still hear voices unfortunately. It's also worked wonders for my mood, combined with 2 anti-depressants. Helps me sleep well. Only thing is the side effects are horrible... slight restlessness, OCD symptoms, boredom. Also, I can only take it at bed time. If I take it during the day it makes me really ill, so I have to sleep it off."


"I'm only on day 7 of this medication so too early to tell but I'm am experiencing severe nausea as expected "


"I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy about 2 weeks ago. For 2 months I had been nodding off at work and at home, it got really bad when I nodded off while at a stoplight driving and when I got "written" up for sleeping at work. I was given Provigil to help me out which when I started taking it, it was like a miracle drug. I felt alert and not drowsy all the time. After 5 days I started feeling nauseous and then 2 days later out of the blue it stopped working. My Doctor put me on Ritalin but I'm still having problems later in the day, on my way to see a sleep specialist."


"Im 22, no kids.  I chose the paragard because it is hormone free.  I was told it would be painful, so of course i expect the worst.  Its not that bad. Now, don't get me wrong.  It hurts. Dont make any plans for the rest of the night. I suggest a movie night with lots of cold ice cream. After the first few days you don't even feel it. It's great."


"Promethazine has worked wonders for me on many occasions when suffering from moderate to severe nausea. Due to the somewhat intense sedation at higher doses, I usually opt for Zofran (ondansetron) for mild nausea associated with the onset of a mild migraine. That being said, promethazine is the better option if you are already severely nauseous or vomiting. If taking it for the first time, be wary of doing anything that could be dangerous while being impaired, as it is notorious for being very sedating. Also, from personal experience, I learned that I cannot tolerate this medication IV. It was given to me as an opiate adjunct and caused me to become aggressive, disoriented, and extremely restless. Overall, I still recommend it."


"I have had pain from 2 ruptured discs and spondylolesthesis for the past 9 years.  I used to be very athletic (running, lifting weights, yoga, biking, etc.) and I had to give all of that up.  That would be have been ok if it had relieved the pain, but it didn't.  I've spent the last 9 years on Hydrocodone, Tramadol, Flexeril, and others.  I had given up on having any quality of life.  That was until I found Butrans.  I have been on it for about a month, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, my back does not hurt.  I am sleeping through the night.  I do not feel drugged out (like Vicodin) and have no side effects. Not one.  This medicine is a miracle."


"It definitely helps my cough. But it makes me so dizzy, I feel like my surroundings are going by at 100mph when I walk. I would NOT drive after taking it. I also feel a little "out of it", but that could just be having a sinus infection. I didn't have a problem with diarrhea like some people have mentioned."


"I used one month's worth of the 4.6 patches without any problems.  I stepped up to the next level (I think 9.5) and immediately had headaches, nausea and tardive dyskinesia.  I went back down to the 4.6 level and now have constant headaches, nausea and ringing in my ears."


"I honestly wasn't sure if it was the medication that did this to me, until I just almost took it again and decided to read reviews. A couple hours after I took it, I woke up three different times due to extreme stomach pain. The third time I decided to try to go to the bathroom. My stomach hurt so bad that I felt like the muscles in my stomach were just stuck tight. I felt like I couldn't even go to bathroom because it hurt so bad. After having extreme pain and diarrhea, I started getting chills, lightheaded and swearing profusely. I seriously thought I was going to die and started dialing 911, before laying on my bathroom floor for a couple minutes and it stopped. I wasn't even sure if it was the medication before reading all these."


"I have been suffering negative physical effects brought on by extremely low testosterone. Several months ago my doctor performed a blood test substantiating yet again this to be factual. CVS Caremark who is in bed with CalPERS created a situation where I was forced to use AXIRON. CVS Caremark basis for creating a situation where I was to use AXIRON to treat my low T is based on them changing their formularies. Their formularies and creating a situation where I was using AXIRON have caused me further physical harm. After several months of correctly applying AXIRON blood test substantiate that my testosterone levels dropped off substantially. I'm pissed off. AXIRON is a junk product. "


"My child is young teen girl with autism or Asperger's, recently diagnosed with ADHD due to impulsivity. Very bright and attentive normally but trouble with transitions, outbursts, interrupting, slow processing speed, getting agitated and not being able to calm down, lack of awareness of surroundings, misunderstanding others' signals, sensory overload. Responding well to Vyvanse 30mg. Easier transitions, speaks more fluently without stammering, less agitated, less angry, much more cooperative and calm, able to converse without interrupting or changing topics, happier, feels better about self. Side effects are dizziness with exertion worst when changing position from sitting to standing, needs more sleep, mild headaches, weight loss."


"1st time using Day 1 (7day treatment) might as well threw boiling water up in me because my lady part is burning."


"I purchased this tube in 2014 and it worked, come 11/2015 I felt the tingling and put this on immediately in the morning when I noticed everytime I noticed the ointment penetrated my lip so about 6x through out the day. I will never use this again because it made it worse; the bottom half of my is completely swollen. I thought maybe it expired but not till 8/2016. I think the expiration time is wrong. I should've just stuck my old lemon and salt method it would've been gone in 2 days. Never re purchasing. Waste of $18"


"I started taking metformin in March, I've gone from 500mg to 1500mg and this week I got my period. I haven't had one since December 2014. I've had very little side effects, just a little nausea and an unsettled stomach. I'm really hoping my periods will regulate now. I have also lost 9lbs since 20th March."


"I've had trouble finding a birth control that wouldn't make me gain weight, give me UTI's, or make me depressed. I have finally found the one!!! This birth control has given me no issues at all. At first my period was a little irregular when adjusting to this pill, but now it comes regularly and I have no negative side effects. You do have to be a little more exact with the time you take this BC, but I have my phone alarm set every day to the same time so it's usually not a problem. The only time it is, is when my schedule is a little out of whack. Other than that this is the best birth control I've taken and will continue to take."


"Two pills and I felt joint pains on my whole body and stopped due to seeing side effects and long term issues. It did have positive, I notice my anal fissures were dripping pure blood and no more infection and abscess cavity less infection."


"This was the only medicine that I've tried that has completely controlled my asthma. I can't even remember the last time I experienced an attack. I am able to run for miles without any breathing problems."


"Completely changed my outlook on life. Tried it 2 months ago didn't seem to work initially but now I can definitely notice a difference. I was having a lot of trouble just functioning like a regular person but this has brought back the old me. I really am grateful. If I don`t take it for a day or take it late in the day I start feeling depressed again so yes it works.. try it."


"Since starting on 80 mg Latuda along with Buproprion my Bi-Polar mood swings are at bay, I feel no social anxiety or awkwardness and am not fearful much like I used to be. I am more like the authentic self I was when I was younger before my diagnosis: outgoing, articulate, motivated, upbeat/hopeful, productive, stable & high-functioning + energetic. I have been able to quit coffee, cigarettes & carbs due to my new found motivation, will be transferring to a large University soon, function better under pressures of work & motherhood & find it much easier to maintain my 12 Step Recovery Program & stay clean & sober too! I would highly recommend Latuda for anyone lacking focus, drive or positive feelings to see if it effects you as profoundly."


"This is my first experience with birth control, and I have only been using NuvaRing for one month. Putting it in is very easy, and I did not feel it at all. It never slipped out or shifted positions. Not having to worry about it every day is a huge plus. It wasn't until the end of the third week that I had sex with it in, and although my boyfriend nor I could feel it during sex I found that I was not as aroused as I normally get. This led to much less natural lubrication. I also found that I was not as sensitive to touch or sexual pleasure. Post sex I found I was prone to diarrhea which is not normal for me. Those were my only side effects though. "


"Horrible! Do not take! I had it for my tooth infection and Initially, everything was fine for 4 days of taking 150mg 3 times a day. On the 5th day I suffered delirium, rash, white tongue, dry mouth, an extreme ill feeling, chills, nausea, and had a huge pain in my stomach area.  I quit taking it, and 3 days later I still have the white tongue  (thrush) and nausea . I did not have the diarrhea because I ate yogurt while on this killer antibiotic.  Yogurt is a probiotic, and if you choose to take Clindamycin, PLEASE EAT yogurt so you don't get diarrhea!"


"I have tried about 5 different birth controls before my new doctor put me on minastrin. I have PCOS, doctors have recommended I always stay on birth control to help it. Before this pill I bled heavily for a month straight, 2 days after starting this the bleeding stopped. I now have a very light period for maybe 3 days. Medications can affect one person different from the next person, but this pill has been one of the best. The bonus is my insurance pays 100% for birth control."


"I'm a disabled veteran. Diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1992 while still active duty.  Have been taking tramadol for years 50mg now 3x a day.  I don't think I would survive without it.  Allows me to do some of the activities with my family.  It is good for relieving fibro pain. I would recommend any new patients to try it.  It may change your life."


"I got the Nexplanon put in 6/15 and at first, I loved it. No spotting or any bad side effects. Then after about a month, I started spotting constantly. This continued for the next year (on and off). I became extremely moody and fatigued to the point that it was difficult to get out of bed. Unlike many people who have gained weight from the Nexplanon, I lost 30lbs. I think this was because it made me stressed out which, could have caused me to lose weight. I thought about getting it out twice during the time I had it but, every time I went to make an appointment, I would start to feel normal again (sneaky little thing). I eventually decided to get it removed though. *Everyone is different with symptoms but, as far a pregnancy prevention A++"


"Started on Med August 7th. This is my second full week. First day I had a really dry mouth after that no side effects. I'm not really hungry and don't crave chocolate or anything as a matter of fact. No weight loss yet but it is still a very early use for me. Price was $290 and my insurance covered it all which is a blessing. Will weigh on Aug 21st."


"I was hospitalized on 5/1/12 and instantly went on Atripla. My CD4 count was only a 28! I was hospitalized because I had PCP pneumonia.  After being on Atripla for 2.5 months my CD4 soared to 770.  My HIV doctor told me that the results were unbelievable.  I take my pill at night before bed and experience no side effects.  Thankfully the state of Virginia gave Atripla to HIV patients if their CD4 count is below 500 and you don't have insurance."


"Changed my life. Confidence, weight loss, anxiety-free."


"Was using this for achilles micro tears from playing tennis, also tennis elbow-tendonitis. Side effect was blistering on the skin for treatment of achilles injury, no side effects for tennis elbow problem."


"I started this pill when I was 18, and I experienced extreme nausea the first two weeks (as is expected when you've never taken another bcp before). After that, I loved this pill for the most part. I never got pregnant; I never had any noticeable side effects. My periods were consistent and were lighter than before taking any pills. However, the downside was that my period was still too heavy for my liking which I didn't really notice until I started my clinical rotations for nursing school."


"Did not do anything for my bronchitis."


"I have multiple sclerosis and limited use of my right arm and right leg I was given this drug to help with it. I have more trouble walking I have to use my scooter all the time and it makes me so sleepy. I find myself sleeping until noon then falling asleep late in the evening. I find this medicine not helpful at all. I take 10mg 3 times a day."


"Works very well to prevent symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness with no perceived side effects.  I take 125mg twice per day as recommended by the altitudemedicine.org website for high altitude hiking.  This actually speeds up the bodys acclimitization process and doesn't just treat the symptoms. Highly recommend it for staying well on high altitude pursuits."


"Mirtazipine worked extremely well for me. Quite the miracle drug. It starts working straight away so you know if it is right for you in a short period of time rather than waiting weeks/months only to find it hasn't worked. I got a great nights sleep after first dose, depressive and suicidal episodes greatly reduced in frequency. Side effects are sedation, increased appetite and constipation. It is very safe in overdose and any other serious side effects than those listed above only occur in less than 0.01% cases. Great medication, highly recommend. PS: I had different reactions to two different generics, Medreich worked great, Actavis didn't work. You can get the branded version "Zispin soltabs" cheaply; they are on the NHS BNF formulary."


"I started Ambien when Lunesta did not work for me, and it was effective in helping me sleep. One problem developed, I began getting up in the middle of the night and eating , especially if I thought of something before I dozed off (e.g. the chocolate cake I was saving til tomorrow, etc.).  I had to stop when I woke up with a cut on my hand, and realized I had cut up a leftover pork chop to eat. I had no recollection of eating, slicing my hand, or putting the bandage on. I cut down to half dose (5 mg) and the night eating stopped.  I wish I could find a substitute, but this really helps me sleep deeply and feel refreshed when I get up in the morning."


"I used the patch for three months. I like to get my period every month as I am using it to regulate it, along with preventing pregnancy. It works, never used any other back up method and not pregnant. No spotting, no sickness, however I did start getting numbness in my left arm but I did ignore it and irritations on patch site. It never fell off but the corners do lift slightly and it does not look pretty by the end of the week due to the lint and black residue stuff. It's a pain to have on your skin all the time. I just switched because its summer, it shows and is more of a hassle in the heat. I switched to the ring and love it."


"The safety cap is very difficult to open. Tried for a half hour. Finally got it open...don't push down too hard!"


"I have had this prescribed to me due to a bladder infection. I took them twice a day for five days. And just now feel like I have symptoms of a UTI. Why is this?"


"I started taking phentermine 4 days ago (3 since it was given to me more in the afternoon so I started it the next day). I've already lost about 5 lbs. Wow."


"This is my first time on BC so I don’t really have anything to compare it to. It made me throw up when I first started taking it but I found that if I took it at night with food I had no problems with getting sick. Helped my acne a ton! Did get pretty crazy mood swings though."


"I began taking metoprolol about 2 months ago, 25 mg daily.  I had a hard time getting used to it. Stupidly, I stopped taking it after the first week, I ended up feeling so bad I had to go to the ER.  Since then all my problems have been side-effects.  A few hours before I am to take my next dose I begin to feel depressed, very cranky and angry and generally just awful.  Once I take the medicine though those feelings tend to go away.  It also upsets my stomach and I have had a mild loss of appetite.  I have also noticed that some foods taste different.  I am also having a problem staying asleep, but I seem to fall asleep easily.  So I am up and down all night.  I am not happy on it so I will be asking my doctor for something else."


"Horrible horrible nausea"


"I have tried everything from Proactive to Skin I.D to Murad and nothing has worked for my acne until I got on YAZ. However, don't be discouraged because it does take a couple weeks to months for your body to adjust to the hormones and essentially your skin may worsen. I was on the pill for about a year and literally never had to worry about a breakout. I got off for about 8 months and just started back on it a week ago because my skin started to get really bad again. My face is the worst I've ever seen it right now but I know sticking with it will be worth it. It is so hard dealing with acne and there are nights when I just cry to my mom because I don't even want to show my face in public. But trust me YAZ is worth the wait so stick it out."


"Awesome stuff!  I went on Lupron so I could be a candidate for focused ultrasound treatment.  Don't let all the negative reviews scare you!  I used to look about 4 months pregnant.  I am otherwise healthy, thin and exercise regularly.  Had minor hot flashes; not a big deal considering the overall benefits.  My mass of fibroids shrank dramatically in 3 months. Previously hard, round abdominal area shrank considerably!  I couldn't believe how successful Lupron was for me, and how good I felt on it.  I went off the pill (which I was on for years for constant bleeding/spotting).  Didn't have memory loss, hair loss or bad moods like many other women's experiences.  I took vitamins while on it to help counteract things like possible bone loss."


"62y.o. female. First time with flu virus in 15 yrs. Went to medfast & was prescribed tamiflu. Afraid to take last day dose because of fuzziness in my right eye last night. Still have flu symtoms for 4 days & counting. Other side effects from tamiflu were: right eye blur, bad headache, dry mouth, hoarseness, muscle spasms, sweating, slight upper abdominal pain, nausea. You can see why I am afraid to take anymore. Dont know if it shortened flu symtoms. This is day 5 & feel a little better but have severe headache & coughing still. So maybe took meds too late but getting fuzzy in my right eye last nite scared me enough to stop it."


"Used it for shoulder/neck strain. Broke out in hives"


"I connect so much with "Frustrated Fenway Fan"'s post..I have almost disabling anxiety. I started having panic attacks at eleven years old.....I am now 33. The entire time I was treated with Xanax which I NEVER once abused...my former doctor abruptly stopped prescribing it to me because he caught wind that I had spent a year and a half fighting an opiate addiction, Suboxone saved my life...but although that is all in the past and I don't even take that medication anymore....it is on my medical history! Now.NO ONE will prescribe me any sort of benzodiazepine. I have just been prescribed Buspar. I pray it works. I just want my life back."


"I've been on contrave for about 7 weeks now. I've lost roughly 33lbs. In the first month I easily dropped 20lbs. I eat less than 1400 calories a day, but I am extra aware of what I put in my body as to not be unhealthy- lots of protein, steamed veggies, and staying hydrated. All that being said, I will say the side effects were murder for me. I had/have pretty much all of them on the list of possibilities. Nothing that I can't handle though, nothing overly severe....I just wouldn't call it a 'fun' experience. I exercise regularly, but the majority of  my changes have been to my food. It pretty much takes away superfluous hunger, so I only eat when I truly need to. I'm so happy to have found something that works."


"The first 3-4 days made me a bit groggy immediately after taking it, I couldn't drive. Within a week, I adjusted quickly."


"I used neupro in the past for my restless legs and it went badly and I had to get off of it. But years later I'm on the 2mg. Now that I understand my condition better and know that some triggers like my blood sugar will make my legs act up regardless of the medicine make it a lot easier. This medicine is god sent you literally feel all the muscles relax and the bad sensations leave all at once I'm so grateful for the sleep I'm getting. Only thing is the patch burns when hot water touches it I usually take it off before a shower and only wear it at night. Best medicine out for RLS right now! Also make sure you get the coupon from neupro.com because it is pricey."


"I have been a long-haul flight attendant for over 35 years and have used this drug since it's release. I find it EXTREMELY effective, with no side effects for me whatsoever. I will say that, like a lot of sleep aids and sleeping tablets, its' continued use does cause a psychological dependancy and the effectiveness of the drug becomes less and less. Therefore I would recommend not using the drug every night and alternating it with other sleep therapies."


"Great. Thanks Zyban. I start my Smoke Free Life after 10 days. I can't believe."


"The medication allows one to become calm, if they allow it to work. You will need time to get used to how it affects you in the long run. It will make you sleepy."


"It helps with my nerve pain but it does put me to sleep for a couple hours."


"I had been suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis for quite a number of years. I had tried NSAID's with very little improvement, therefore I had no option but to trial Anti-TNF therapy as a last resort. I had originally tried Humira without much improvement at all. I then went on to try Simponi, which improved my physical condition dramatically within the first day of the injection, however seemed to have a psychotic effect on my brain over the couple of months of been on it. I did recover once I stopped the Simponi. I then got onto Enbrel around sometime after and seemed to have improvement within a couple of days of having the injection. I did have itchiness which in hindsight was a minimal problem."


"I was on Remicade for several years. I recently switched over to Entyvio. It seemed to be helping, but the benefits only lasted about 6 weeks. My Dr just added Methotrexate to help boost the effectiveness. So far seems to be working better than Remicade.

That said, everyone and every case is different. It comes down to you working with your doctor(s) to find the best plan for you. Don't give up, keep trying."


"I took acyclovir 400mg 5 times a day 4 hours after tingling. Completely gone in 2 days. But what is weird is it worked only one time, it never worked again. I have had ten more since the first time it worked. I did try it again on a few separate outbreaks it never even slowed it down."


"I been taking Fortesta for a week, I can say my mood has been better but still feel drained. I hope that this really works for me due to the fact I lost my wife and kids over me not being me."


"I have spinal stenosis and sciatica from the spinal stenosis. I have tried various prescriptions but Zipsor helps the most. Sometimes I can take only two a day and it works, sometimes more if the pain persists. But, it works well for me."


"I have suffered with Migraine headaches for years, and have tried all kinds of medication. I have been diagnosed by a Neurologist as having Chronic Migraines, that go into a loop, and the headache just keeps getting worse and I wake up every single day with a Migraine. I have just tried Axert 12.5mg and my headaches are massively better. I can actually function after taking this medication. I would recommend this medication for sure."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I started birth control about a month ago for bad cramps and to regulate my period. I never really had bad acne before, but I've been on Beyaz for a month now and my acne is bad. I have at least 4 large pimples on my face at all times, which I'm not used to. I don't know if I should stick it out and see if it gets better or if I should switch to a different birth control. Other than the acne, Beyaz is really helping with my periods. They last 3 days at the most and little to no cramps at all."


"When I found out the my Finacea Foam Rx was going to cost $275 I turned it down. Then I decided to buy a tube and see if it really worked. I was immediately impressed with the product. It not only clears up the burning and redness, but it also makes my skin more smooth and soft.

On a Dec 2016 trip to France I asked a pharmacist if there was an equivalent in France. In fact, they had the exact same product in cream form instead of foam. And the price was only 30 Euro, I brought 4 tubes home to last me until my next trip to France.

I swear by Finacea!"


"I'm a 40 year old UPS guy.  I started getting cold sores 3 years ago.  They used to happen only when I was working out in the cold but now in the middle of July.  They always last 2  weeks.  I've tried Abreva, Lycine, campo-phenique, ice, limiting argonine-rich foods, nothing worked.
Today, day 3 of abreva and campo-phenique failing, I was full blown, huge pustules on my lip looking like they were about to explode so went to my doctor.  I took 1GM of valtrex this AM and within 45 minutes it started feeling different and my lip started tingling.  By 5PM it was softer/less pressure. I took another 1GM at 7PM.  I just looked in the mirror at 10PM and the pustules are much smaller and never popped.  So far so good!"


"I am on 100mg dose, days 14-28 of my period or the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.  The first month was great, I felt level, the only side effects felt were extreme sugar cravings and vivid, bizarre dreams.  However, in month two, no cravings, extreme mood swings and ranging from a need for a lot of sleep, not wanting to get out of bed to anxiety and very little sleep.  No pregnancy yet."


"So far so good.. I have lost 28 lbs since I started Saxenda 7 weeks ago. I have had a few of the side effect like nausea and decreased appetite .. But it has been well worth it. I recommend this completely!"


"Soma 350mg is a wonder drug for my back pain (L3L4 herinated disc). It can be hard to get, It gave many doctors a bad taste so to speak. I only take it as needed. I have tried just about every muscle relaxer over the years. The only one that comes close to soma is called zanaflex, But there is no contest soma works the best for my back pain. I take it when my pain scale is 7/8 out of 10. It usually takes me down to a 3/4 within 30 to 45 mins. However use this  time to rest your back because the effects of soma do not last very long.  It starts to loose its effect in 2-3 hours. Also it works best for me once a day as needed. I also take tramadol 50mg and gabapentin 600mg for pain."


"My pressures were 65 at diagnosis and now 2 short years later my pressure is 13! This medication is easy to take and it very effective."


"I used to get severe panic attacks quite often. I started taking 10mg of Valium three times daily as prescribed by my psychiatrist, and after a year my dose has decreased to 5mg and I have never had another panic attack. Anxiety attack(or panic attacks) are very scary. I had made many trips to the emergency room thinking I was having a heart attack. I had symptoms like sweating, tingling in arms and legs, cold chills in face and a rapid heartbeat, feeling of hysteria, and wishing I would just die and get it over with.

Valium saved my life. It is very effective, and I am greatful it works."


"I have seen zero effects after 7 weeks of 1mg nightly dosage. I've read where this should be having a noticeable effect between 2-4 weeks, but still have extremely weak flow and incomplete bladder emptying."


"Since most of the reviews are from gals who have just recently gotten their paragard, I thought I'd post about my experience since I've had mine for 3 years. Everything has been relatively good with my paragard up until recently. I became a vegan last July, so I haven't been getting very much iron or zinc in my diet. Recently I've experienced  some pretty dramatic hair loss. After I shower I have a palm sized ball of hair left in the shower. My hair is falling out in chunks! I am 31 years old with no health issues. I have never had any issues like this in my life nor is this hereditary. I started researching copper toxicity and anemia as two possible reasons and will start supplementing! I may no longer need bc if I end up bald! LOL"


"I started NuvaRing 3 months ago and really enjoy it compared to the pill. I was formerly in LoLoestrinFe and had horrible horrible mood swings and a complete disappearance of libido. On NuvaRing, my sex drive has somewhat returned (of course not as much as if I wasn't in birth control), it's easier for me to "get there", and I don't have PMS nearly as bad. It's not perfect but definite improvement for me. However I will say I've had minor weight gain, and some minor hair loss. Honestly, I prefer those side effects over the moods I was feeling whilst on the pill. Hoping that with continued usage, the side effects go away as I've only been on this for 3 months. Even better that my insurance covers it 100%!"


"I have been on this BC for over a year and I have no complaints. No acne, weight gain, or pregnancies.  My breasts grew a cup. Periods are lighter. I cramp worse but it's nothing I can't handle. I love it."


"I have been on my birth control for a month now, I've been eating a lot lately and breaking out. Before I started the pill I have read other reviews on it and I was worried about some what. Now that I have been on it I want to change it already. I had my period for three weeks stright now and it is very heavy. Everyone's bodies are different, but I am 134 pounds and 5'3. "


"I have severe chronic pain due to a car accident. I've tried every med to curb the pain. I like this medicine, the only drawback was that it wasn't long lasting and I wish I could take it more than once a day."


"I am 40+ female! I thought I was going to live in misery the rest of my life! I had bowel movements  every 3-5 days! I had so much bloating! I was cranky and had very little energy! I had constant pain in my back under my ribs! Since taking linzess, all of that is gone and I have had a bowel movement everyday! My energy is so much better! I am a different person! Thankful to God!"


"I've been in this pill for 6 months and it's the worst. I get 2 periods a month, super emotional, terrible cramps and crazy mood swings. It's good at preventing pregnancy but I definitely would not recommend."


"I have had ET's for several years and taken various medications with varying  degrees of success, I have recently been put on 50mg of Primidone four in the morning, two in the afternoon and four more at night. But the tremors are worse than ever. I can't even read my own writing. It is just scribbling. This stuff is a complete loser. I definitely  need something different"


"This medicine works well for pain. Not only does it work well you don't constantly have to keep taking pills every four hours to control the pain. "


"Switched to Uroxatral after being on Flomax for a couple months.  While Flomax addressed Benign Prostate Hyperplasia issues very well, it had horrendous effect on my sexual function.  Could no longer ejaculate at all, and could no longer reach orgasm.  Within a few days of being on Uroxatral, those issues are gone and in some ways are better than before being on either medicine.  Uroxatral is handling the BPH issues just fine."


"Back pain, bone spurs"


"I have been on bactrim for the last 3 days and on the fourth pill and its done nothing for me"


"I took Tanzeum for a year and lost 30 pounds.  My sugar is very well controlled.  I love this stuff but my insurance now doesn't cover enough.  Now I'm on bydureon but I'm afraid I might be allergic to it as the shot site is red and itchy."


"I tried this medication based on recommendations from my doctor.  First, read ALL the information about the pill before taking it.  My doctor prescribed this to me knowing I suffer from severe migraines (it was in my medical history and discussed).  It says in the description NOT to take this if you suffer from migraines. So aside from that, here is what this pill has done to me:

Extreme and heavy bleeding for 14 days now (and it's showing no signs of stopping), body soreness, breast soreness, increased headaches, extreme eye pain, extreme fatigue, extreme mood swings, loss of appetite and weight, heavy cramping, chest pains, difficulty breathing, and loss of libido.  "


"The product reconstitutes more easily than human-derived plasma.  The effective dose for me is higher than than of the human  factor.  The dosages per vial are convenient.  Because it carries no risk of human blood-borne disease, I would recommend it's use over human-derived factor.

Because Wyeth has a captive consumer, I believe the product is extremely over-priced. "


"I started taking Yaz almost 3 months ago. I was put on Yaz for hormonal acne (chin and jaw line).  I've had TERRIBLE experiences with birth control, weight gain, acne, mood swings, etc. I was nervous to start Yaz. Within a week my acne was completely gone! I did not experience any mood swings or weight gain! No "hungry all the time feeling." I was beyond excited. I started my 2nd pack and my face lit up like never before. Probably the worst breakouts I've ever had. I just finished my 2nd pack and my face is finally clearing up. Im just dealing with the aftermath from the breakouts (purple blue spots). I'm guessing my body was just getting used to the hormones. I'll check back in after month 3! Hopefully it will continue to clear up!"


"I have been on this BC for 4 months and I have not gotten pregnant, lost my sex drive or gained weight from it. I have been more emotional and down than normal and I think it has to do with this bc. My acne has also become wayyyyyyyyyyyy worse. I sometimes get I twinge of pain in my arm and also sometimes get aches in my lady area and also had pain the first 2 times of having sex on it, but it hasn't been a problem since then. I had two light periods at my regular times and some spotting when I first started but I haven't had a period since then. I hate the side effects but not having to take a pill has been amazing. If I can get my acne to go away by using a dermatologist I'd say it's worth it."


"For me, this medication worked everywhere but on my facial hair.  It was definitely systemic for me as I noticed no hair growth in areas of my body, previously hairy, but no change in my facial hair.  I have rheumatoid arthritis and I take a medication that causes hair loss.  I noticed that there was no regrowth in hair on my scalp that I lost from the medication. "


"I am on day three of Harvoni...was a little nervous about the side  effects but very pleased to report No side effects at all...."


"Seems the most safe pill. Start taking 25mg last week and no one side effect. Start working in 15min-45min and lasts for 2h-4h.

Feel strong enough (30min-2h) without side effects (specially after 3h). Next week will try 50mg (no splitted pill).

PDE5 high selectivity (don't touch in heart, retina, etc) of this pill seem promissing and if I can get strong (enough for 90min) without side effects I will replace Viagra with these one.

Still testing..."


"I have been on 60mg day methadone tabs for about 5-6 years. As FISHINGIRL says I have had several teeth just dissinegrate. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic. I also had a 20 foot fall off an overpass and landed on my back on the opposing guardrail. 9 ribs broken or fractured in 23 places and one protruding through my back. Methadone has been the only relief I have ever found. Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Morphine and many more could not give me a life like Methadone has. NOW we have our new Texas Governor restricting all these meds. Sent to pain management and after 20  years they cut my methadone script by 90%."


"For 18 months have had severe lumbar, butt and leg pain. Got spinal injections that helped some, but leg pain still was especially bad. Finally had back surgery, which helped the lower back, but not the pain in my hips and legs, which was intense. As usual, had physical therapy, massage, and finally acupuncture. Nothing worked. My doctor finally started me on Lyrica at 50 mg before bed, then 100, and finally at 200 mg before bedtime. It has reduced the pain about 70 percent. It also helps me sleep like a log, and the only side effects are some dizziness in the morning, but by around 10 AM that goes away. Great stuff!"


"Spent 1.5 months on this. I always took it with food and plenty of water and had no adverse side effects, even though many new meds tend to make me nauseous.

It helped my pain somewhat, but not enough. I'm trying something new now. Again I had no side effects, but for me it just isn't effective enough."


"My right lymph node has went down a little (swells a lot when I have any infection or cold) and also seems to be getting rid of uti but the side effects are so horrible I feel like DEATH, nobody understands except people up here who are going thru same. MIGRAINES, INSOMNIA OUT THIS WORLD (3 days and only 5 hours sleep), vomiting and sick to my damn stomach, this is ridiculous...."


"My side effects are light headed, short of breath, dizzy and cold"


"First off let me say I have allergies to most antibiotics I was placed on this generic form of biaxin. No side effects except for a gassy tummy with or without food no taste or dreams. Seems to being doing its job. I also received a small dose injection of a steroid. Now to get the nose to turn off. But as the saying going better out than in. In my experience the diarrhea is not a bad thing its forcing all the germs out of you. Though I have not had that reaction with this my go to antibiotic has always been the Z pack but I was always very dizzy on them. Try and hang in there after 10 days it will be well worth it. I mean your sick. No drug is a miracle drug. Get well soon y'all. Keep plenty of non caffeined drinks at bay."


"I gained 15 pounds, didn't have periods just spotting, and tmi but I needed lubricant during sex which before I had no issue with hm I also was always irritable and crazy emotional and I always had weird cravings was always hungry or tired"

"I have just started my 6yr old on the 1mg Intuniv and I am happy with her behavior but the life in her that I love about her is gone. I feel so confused. Why should I have to change her?"


"I'm 27 years old and I have always had beautiful skin until recently. I started taking yaz two months ago for my severe acne. I'm all honesty I don't see any difference . My face itches terribly everyday and my acne seems to get even worse. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm so self conscious and I can't even look people in the eye because I don't feel or look beautiful any longer. Please help"


"I was prescribed this drug for occasional anxiety issues, related to pressure at work. I took it during an extremely stressful time where I experienced extraordinary anxiety. The first day it helped me quite a lot, by taking away the negative feeling in my chest and making me more relaxed and social. Later in the day, it made me very awake, without impairing my sleep. I took it for another 4-5 days every day in 2.5-10mg to try with different dosage. The positive impact faded and I got serious problems with side effects. I could hardly sleep any longer and the combination with diphenhydramin (sleeping pill) made it even worse, by excessively reducing my heart rate and respiratory condition. The last 2 days i hardly slept, due to 'hypnic jerks"


"My psychiatrist just prescribed me this medication to help me sleep at night since I have trouble sleeping, supposedly it takes 15 to 45 mins to take in effect, the only effect I got was a calming effect but wasn't sleepy like it was intended for..therefor I became more agitated, crying for no apparent reason, and more fidgety then ever..So unfortunately I was the unfortunate one where it does not work for."


"I have been on this medicine for three days now.  I take 75MG twice a day.  The one big thing I have noticed is that I am a lot more calm.  I can think clearer with this medicine.  I now it was working with what happened to me tonight.  Long story short, a girl I like that I was supposed to meet ended up ditching me.  Without this I would have been really angry, like smoke out of ears mad.  I was mad, but not that mad.  This has calmed me down a bunch!"


"I LOVE THE RING!!! Ladies, I seriously recommend the ring to anyone and everyone. The ring has given so much freedom in college and it's amazing. I've been on it for a year and have had zero side effects. ZERO weight gain, no acne (in fact my skin is clearer than it was before being on the NuvaRing), no mood swings, no decrease in sex drive etc. 5 of my friends have tried the ring as well and they love it too!! You can't feel it once inserted and it stays in place during sex and won't move until you take it out. It's super easy to put in as well! It has helped make my period super manageable and I have no PMS. I used to suffer from painful periods and now I don't have to worry about any of that. It's great! Give it a try!"


"Very positive about this medication.  No side effects.  Have been on for 9 months and lost 55 lbs so far.  Contrave changed my relationship with food.  I don't have to have snacks, I leave food on the plate, and I stop when I'm full instead of when I'm stuffed.  I have not completely gotten the exercise side of things right yet - perhaps 2-3 times per week when I'd like it to be 5-6.  If I can be more consistent with the exercise I'm convinced the results would be more pronounced, but I'm OK with it taking a while - slow progress is fine by me.  If you are willing to change eating and exercise habits Contrave can be of great assistance - it's like that extra bit of willpower I was lacking all this time."


"I have been on this pill for 3 months and I have suffered every side effect. The only reason I continue to take it is because of the low hormone levels. I have headaches with neurological symptoms, change in appetite, my breast were enlarged for 2 months then went down to normal size. I'm also suffering from depression and I lost my sex drive as well as I can't climax. My skin looks better."


"I used Malarone for over a year while living in West Africa and found it to be effective with the only side effect being the occasional bad dream.  It would be my choice for an anti-malarial were I to return there."


"I have been on Gianvi for about 1 month and a half and it's great. I haven't gotten pregnant, but I have noticed my appetite change. I don't want to eat the food I used to love, but it's definitely helping me lose weight and this is ALWAYS good."


"I've been taking 100mg twice a day for about 7 or 8 years now for cystic acne (I'm 45 years old).  I tried antibiotics and multiple topicals and washes prescribed by my dermatologist.  Spironolactone is the only thing that decreased my cystic acne by about 80%. I also used Epiduo for spot/preventative treatment of acne on my chin but it really dried out my skin.  When I got my Clarisonic 4 or 5 years ago, it was like the miracle I had been hoping for!  I use Clarisonic in the mornings and just wash with a washcloth and Cerave foaming facial cleanser and use Cerave lotion for my skin care.  I actually get complements on my "beautiful" skin now!

I hope you have as great of an experience as I did with Spironolactone!!!"


"I have been on Contrave for 2 months now.  Yes at first like any medicine you get constipation, headaches, nausea, and anything else.  They do put it in the pamphlet advising about side effects.  This medicine is suppose to make you nauseous when you over eat.  It suppresses your appetite. I've noticed this especially when you're eating foods with more fat.  This medicine  is a combination of two separate drugs one is naltrexone, best known as a treatment for alcoholism. Honestly we can't depend on a pill to loose weight altogether.  Eating right and exercising are what we need to incorporate in our weight loss plan.  Personally I have seen great results.  It's helped me over my plateau.  Thank you."


"My 15yr old son had terrible acne due to being inherited. We tried every facial wash and lotion out there. The dermatologist tried a couple antibiotics and nothing seemed to work. Accutane was our next option which I didn't want to do.  A month ago his primary doctor prescribed Bactrim for an infection and we were shocked when it TOTALLY cleared his face and back up!  We called the docs office and he now takes it daily with no side effects!  Such a blessing!"


"Lots of side effects like drowsiness, headache, nausea and constipation."


"I have been taking Nuvigil for a little over a month now.  At first I took 150mg.  It worked for 3 days and then I went back to being exhausted.  My doctor bumped the dosage to 250mg and it has been working a lot better.  Thing is I can still feel episodes of sleepiness coming on later in the afternoon and have been adding caffeine but I think its bringing on the side effects like jitteryness, nausea, fogginess, extreme dry mouth and an uncomfortable feeling in my jaw and the back of my neck.  I do not like the side effects and I am now trying to cut back on the caffiene hoping it will help.  Going to add Xyrem to my treatment to see if it will fix me."


"I am 21 years old,never been on any birth control but I knew after I had my daughter( 9 weeks ago)I needed to be on something and I didn't want to be stuck taking a pill everyday. After much research I decided on Skyla since it has the lowest dosage of hormones compared to Mirena and since I already suffer from migraines my doctor and I decided Skyla would be better. Insertion was a piece of cake (day 3 of period) (and took cytotec) compared to what I went through with labor and birth, pain was about 3-4 out of 10 and was only more of a discomfort. After I felt crampy but nothing bad and I am pretty satisfied right now. I don't know how this will affect me in a few months but overall I'm happy. Don't let other's stories scare you"


"I have tried a number of different stool softeners to no avail and was starting to rely on regular doses of laxatives to get relief from constipation. My doctor finally recommended Miralax. I took it once a day for 5 days and now take it once every other day and I am back on a normal schedule. It is easy to take, tasteless and gives relief."


"One morning I woke up with a tiny unnoticeable cold sore so I decided to get abreva and so I cleaned the area of the sore an put it on with clean hands an went to bed. I woke up this morning with a huge cold sore that is now spreading bad . Never use it again"


"I've been using drysol for my underarm sweating. I never had problem with underarm sweating but it is a second effect of a medication so I wanted to give it drysol a shot after trying every single deorodant over the counter.  It does and sometimes better than others. I tried putting overnight but then when I shower in the morning if I dont put it again I will sweat a couple times during the day. But putting on after shower helps even that sometimes I sweat on one side or both. I've burned a few times that I cannot even move my arms. I wish it comes with an applicator but at least the one I find doesnt have any. I put antiallergic cream on the sides around the armpit and that works sometimes to not getting burned... sometimes ;)."


"After about one week I was out and active. Engaging with others again and doing much better at work. I also do not have the desire to sleep all day. I have lost weight also due to increased exercise and a minimal loss of appetite. Side effects are minimal, but sex is impossible. I take Paxil 40mg once a day and Xanax 1mg twice. I am a new person! I tried Prozac, Effexor, Seroquel and Lamictal with few benefits. Paxil is by far the best medicine I have ever tried. I am nervous however when I read about the horrible side effects of missed doses and stopping Paxil. "


"Clarifoam has greatly reduced burning, red rosacea breakouts I was getting on my face under my eyes.  But I still get them from time to time, just a lot less frequently.  It's easy to use.  Smell is sulfurish, which bugged me at first but I am used to it now.  My copayment is pretty high for Clarifoam."


"I took one 16.5 NP pill and three hrs later I had the worst diahrea and vomited ever. I had been on Armour 30 mcg for a month with stomach pains and diahrea and it was getting  worse every day so switched to NP.  Now I'm on Levothrroxine 30 mcg and feeling better.  I'm researching Tirosint and Cyptomel as the have minimal ingredients ie no gluten which is a big no no for us Hashimlto gals.  Good luck to all of finding a good doctor and the right medication for you."


"I am a 33 year old mom of 2, postpartum 11 weeks and I just got my ParaGard inserted today.  Everything went super smooth. I was very scared after reading some of these comment about how painful it was to get up in. But I barely felt anything at all and so far no cramping at all either. I know this is day one. So I will post again in the future with some further along results."


"WORST PAIN AND ITCHINESS EVER!!!!! I got out of bed thinking I'll just insert this so this YI I feel coming on will go away... I have had YI before and IDK WHY I DIDNT GO WITH MY OLD PRODUCTS! Im afraid I'll be up all night.. Im close to tears right now. SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!!! Don't use this! Praying this goes away so I can sleep... Wish I would've read these reviews before hand :("


"If you are scrolling through 1000's of reviews like I was, this one is for you. I started Zoloft three weeks ago for Major Depression and overwhelming anxiety and panic attacks. I started at 25mg for a week, then up to 50mg. Initially, I felt a million times worse, constant panic attacks, increase in suicidal intrusive thoughts, deep depression. But, after just 1 week at 50mg, I noticed a difference in mood, and it's been better and better since. Fight through the initial worsening of symptoms if you can! I asked for xanax to help me get through it. It definitely gets worse before it gets better for some people, but it was 100% worth it for me! I also had slight nausea, a sore neck, and some dizziness that all seem to be subsiding."


"Excellent! I have used high dose methadone for severe chronic pain treatment. I love the relief level after long term use. Maintaining unimpaired cognitive function (no "high"), no compromised respiratory function, no compromise of GI tract (nausea, constipation), no withdrawal effects, even with sudden total stoppage of the med. I have used for ten(10) years after three(3) on high dose sustained release oxycodone(OxyContin). I suffered severe multi-traumatic injuries from an explosion and four story fall in 1999 after nineteen(19) years as a professional FireFighter/Paramedic and have experienced severe chronic pain since regaining consciousness. Methadone should be the front line go to medicine for more patients by physicians."


"I took Paxil for 5 years following the death of my father. I suppose I've always felt moderately uncomfortable in size able groups and after my dad passed I was also very down in the dumps. Paxil helped immediately and made me way more sociable than ever before. I had confidence to say what I wanted to say and clearer thoughts than I've ever had. I've now been off for 4 months and am struggling again with the same issues. I've tried turning to herbal remedies like rhodiola, St johns wort, 5-HTP, and fish oil. Together they make me feel alright I guess but it's just not the same. If it weren't for the sexual side effects, I wouldn't hesitate to get back on Paxil but I'd like to get my wife pregnant soon so this is not an immediate option."


"I started taking Orsythia for unbearable menstrual cramps, and stayed on it for about 6 months. It immediately regulated my period and made the cramping almost disappear, but some of the side effects made it not worth it. No weight gain or acne, but my anxiety was through the roof. I would have major meltdown anxiety attacks on a daily basis and would get incredibly  emotional from the slightest amount of stress. I could not handle much of anything and was constantly overwhelmed and lethargic. My mood swings were awful and put a lot of stress on my relationship. I've been off this pill for 2 months and my anxiety is SO much better. This pill does wonders for cramps, but I would not recommend it to anyone with a history of anxiety issues."


"Removed this BC after 5 months of use. Gave it 3 stars only because I didn't get pregnant and the method is ideal for someone not interested in daily pills, etc. Other than that, Nexplanon increased my already mild acne to moderate, hormonal acne. Not cool. Also, my first period experience (November 2016) lasted 4 weeks with varying light to heavy days. After having my period twice in February 2017 I decided Nexplanon had to go!"


"good product........ i recommend it ......"


"After a year and a half of working hard at exercise and diet while taking Metformin and Actos I was not able to get my blood sugar down below 140 and it was more often between 170 and 200. I was changed to metformin and Amyril just this last weekend and after just two doses my sugars have been between 80 and 108, something I had started to lose hope could happen for me. I am so thrilled."


"I have been diagnosed with IBS and starting taking the generic form of Librax almost 2 months ago.  My stomach pain and issues have almost been completely eradicated.  This pill definitely improves my quality of life.  There is some annoying side effects including dry mouth, but they are worth it."


"I made it to 62 without needing any anti-depressants or mood meds ever. Then my Mom got ill with dementia , fell often and my husband and I were "it" to take care of her. We sold our house and moved closer to her. The anxiety that came with taking over her care and the care of my down syndrome sister was overwhelming. I thought I was dealing with it but finally caved. My MD put me on Lexapro and made me better. Before the lexapro I was grumpy , not happy at work , I didn't want to be around people AND had bowel issues at inopportune times. Lexapro was a life float for me. Yes it made me a little sleepy the first 2 weeks , I had some transient constipation and libido problems but all that passed. I like the person I am on Lexapro."


"Six weeks in on this stuff and I can't say I've noticed a massive difference. For one day I had euphoria, everything seemed OK again, my problems seemed a challenge and I was filled with joy from "waking up" from a fearful monochrome life. Then after that initial carefree break I was mostly back to normal with slightly less depression. I'm staying as positive as I can though, crying less, feeling less overwhelmed and battling things that make me uncomfortable. Avoiding 30mg for as long as I can. Seretonergic drugs = tired and transiently 'drunk'/disconnected, at least for me. For now, 15mg is my crutch for getting through the day. Things suck ever so slightly less now."


"I have been using this for about 3 weeks now. It not only makes my redness worse, but it burns (I can deal with tingling, but not severe burning) severely and causes me to break out in hives! I really need to find something else because the allergic reactions/side effects I'm having is worse than the redness was to start with. "


"I couldn't be happier with Calomist. I've been using it now for about 4 months and I would recommend it to anyone who is taking any form of B12. I used to get B12 injections, but not anymore."


"40 y/o, white female, moderately active.  So far I'm happy with this medicine.  Bystolic brought my blood pressure down from 200/110 to 124/74 and my heart rate from 120 to 48 on 10 mg (and 1mg of Guanfacine). I have gained about 4 or 5 lbs. during the 2 months I've been on it, but I can honestly say some of that is my own fault.  I, too, have experienced a calming effect.  Aside from the gained lbs. I have no complaints."


"Taking this in conjunction with Wellbutrin and Buspar gave me my life back.
My mood is stable, I'm happy, excited, and not over the top either. The trade name really describes this medication well that's for sure. However, this isn't for everyone. Also I must note the first 5 days kind of suck. I felt like my head was spinning and I felt nauseated like I was on a roller coaster all the time. Never threw up though. SO glad I stuck with it though. Well worth it in the end."


"Horrible would not recommend to anyone!!!!!!!!"
