"Afrezza is magical. It works so well there are no hights.I can use it at public places without use of needles. It delivers insulin directly to blood and is rapid acting. Insulin molecules are used here to mimic the pancreatic insulin. My overall health improved a lot and I feel much better.

The bad reviews with single one liners can you please explain why it did not work for you unless you are trying to propagate negative energy - please describe your problem."


"This drug works wonders for me. Was prescribed 25 mg for anxiety and to help me sleep. I take it occasionally, when I feel anxious or worried at nighttime or just have problems falling asleep. I feel so calm, relaxed and sleepy :) Only bad thing is the hangover I get the next day. I feel like a zombie. But if I don't take it too late at night there's usually not a problem. I will need a good 10-12 hours of sleep on it though.
24 year old female"


"somewhat helpful with the flashes, pricing is out of control, was paying 55, 60 65 and today 86."


"I've suffered from bouts of severe anxiety since I was 5 years old. I'm 44 now. The Dr put me on Xanax, but that never seemed to do much for me except finally let me sleep for a few hours if I took more than my prescribed dosage. I also have degenerative disc disease in my lower back & was put on Gaba for nerve pain about a year ago. I couldn't believe the effect it had on the anxiety. It's like it snips some internal wire a)& cuts the anxiety off. It's been a life saver for me, literally. HOWEVER, I say this with a warning. Obviously, not everyone gets this effect from Gaba. And, when I tried stopping cold turkey once, the anxiety came back worse than ever - like super bad.  So, it's a long term commitment, be aware."


"I have been on Skyla for 8 months. I read many negative reviews that horrified me. I am VERY happy with my IUD! Inserting it hurt, and the next few days I felt like I was having a really bad period. I had minor spotting first month. I had a minor 2-4 day period the first three months. Since then my period has completely stopped. I have even lost the weight I put on from birth control pills, and my sex drive has increased. I sincerely recommend trying Skyla"


"After purchasing the medicine  for shoulder pain I followed directions and applied 4 times a day. The second day the applied area ( upper arm and shoulder ) was turning dark. By the end of second day the arm was black swollen and painful. Emergency room visit did not provide any relief other than telling
Me to discontinue use of gel. I have a artificial heart valve that requires that I take blood thinner which was discussed with the prescribing physician and had been used as prescribed. The arm continued to swell and the blackness continued down the arm with pain that became unbearable. A ambulance was summoned to take me back to the hosital emergency room personnel could not diganose the situation completely and I was admitted to the ward. Surgery was required"


"This drug works exceptionally well for me.  Within 2 hrs my migraine is gone.  I've suffered for years and can't believe what a difference this medication makes in my quality of life."


"I was having terrible anxiety out of the blue at age 59 they anxiety lasted all day and into the evening for one month. I was on Prozac and the doctor put me on Lexapro instead and my anxiety was gone by the third day of taking it! It has worked wonderfully for me I feel normal again and not so fearful!"


"Insertion took 5 mins total. I took 1mg of ativan, 800 ibprophen and tylenol after eating 1 hour before. She first put her fingers up there to check which way my uterus was. No pain. Then she put the tools up there which feels like a pap. She put some numbing cream on and told me there would be a pinch. I didn't feel any pinch but I had a slow cramp from my vagina to my hips, back, and abdomen. It wasn't bad at first but built - it was better with deep breathing. I was sweaty and tired but it was done but ok. 1 month in lots of sharp sudden cramping and intense lower back ache sporadically. It's like 1 min of intense pain and then fine off and on. It's exhausting and lots of spotting. I'm hoping this is all an adjustment period."


"Tuesday 5PM - Given two 500 mg pills. Immediately had a snack. Dinner time not great appetite. Stomach cramps and resulting stress kept me up all night. No other medication symptoms. Chlamydia symptoms still there.

Wednesday - Maybe lack of sleep but felt fatigued all day, mild stomach cramps, appetite meh, headache, low energy, constipated, flatulent, but slept better. No other medication symptoms. Chlamydia symptoms still there.

Thursday - Dizziness at random, fatigued all day, little to no stomach cramps, appetite meh, continuous headache (now most prominent symptom), low energy, constipated (but no bloating), flatulent, slept normal. No other medication symptoms. Chlamydia symptoms still there.

Friday - Same as Thursday"


"I've taken this for 2 days and my heart already races and my anxiety is crippling. I already want off."


"Works when nothing else will, but expensive."


"I've always tracked my cycle very closely. This particular night I had unprotected sex I didn't look at my calendar until AFTER the fact. Lo and behold, it was the day of my ovulation! I took the pill exactly 8 1/2 hours after the incident. The first few days I felt no side effects. By day 5 still no side effects but I was a complete anxious mess! Day 6 & 7 I felt exhausted, and mild headache mostly due to stress. It's now day 8 and this morning I woke up with lower back pain, and cramping. I went to the bathroom and my period started! This was the worst week of my life & let me tell you, I have learned my lesson! I feel so thankful. I hope the pill works for you also. Sending positive vibes. *hugs*"


"The Proctofoam works great for immediate relief, however you'll likely need to use it repeatedly. My husband struggled in misery and pain for years, so in addition I gave him White Oak Bark and within a half of bottle it had healed his Hemorrhoid issues. He never suffered from them again. I'd suggest both."


"I just took my first dose of Topamax last night and have already started to notice some of the side effects. I normally am ADDICTED to Red Bull. Now I can't even stand the taste, just after one dose. My mouth has also been tingling all day and I ate just one pop tart and got extremely full. Reading every one else's reviews is comforting. I am also still on propranolol because my migraines were coming back."


"I started taking Paxil about 7 or 8 years ago for anxiety.  I had been in the hospital for an arrythmia at age 24 and it totally freaked me out.  After that, every illness I had I was sure it was my heart and I started to panic and check my pulse frequently. I ended up in the ER about twice a month thinking I was dying. My PCP finally suggested Paxil.  Since then I have had ZERO panic/anxiety attacks.  I have had problems occasionally with ejaculatory dysfunction, but not often enough for me to be that upset.  Besides, the trade-off is feeling better and living normally. It has been great for me and I hope you have a similar experience."


"It works to reduce potassium but it does so by inducing 6-8 hours of severe diarrhea.  You can't leave the house, can't sleep, and are lucky if you can leave the bathroom."


"I started taking this medicine 03/08/10 at 215lbs..today is 04/14/10 and I am at 195lbs! Total loss of 20lbs in a little over a month.  I have been watching my calorie intake around  1000-1200 a day...and exercise at least 4-5 times a week (30-45 minutes each workout). During Easter I ate Easter dinner with the family and believe in having what I call my "cheat day" once a week.  I avoid fast food @ all cost excluding Subway and Wendy's where I can eat delicious low fat/low calorie food. One of my biggest weaknesses is sweet tea...I have switched from regular sugar to Splenda and I have adjusted well to the change. This medicine works, it helps me keep focused on my goal..30-40 more lbs to go!"


"I started having migraines suddenly two years after the birth of my first and only child. Sought help from a Neurologist eventually when anti-depressants prescribed by my family practice Dr didn't work. My Neuro doctor started me out on Topamax first, which I had terrible side effects from: word recall was awful and I felt paranoid and edgy all the time. Zonisamide has been a game changer. So far limited side effects: some dizziness - not bad, rash on my upper arm - not a big deal. I'll take this in exchange for the life altering migraines that pretty much shut me down any day!"


"I was advised to use the Systane Ultra by my optom, but the irritiation it caused and splitting and crusting of the skin around my eyes has been unbearable.  The skin around my eyes is itchy and crusty and splitting at the corners. My vision is blurred and worse for using it. It will take a few days to settle down it seems but I wont be using it again!"


"I was diagnosed with rapid cycling bipolar disorder about a year ago. After many failed medications my psychiatrist prescribed me lithium 600mg.  The side effects were brutal for the first month but have faded away to only occasional mild nausea. Overall pleased with the way it has stabilized my moods and I am able to live a more steady lifestyle."


"It worked fine but do not use toilet paper use the ultra soft cleansing wipes. Also some baby powder towards the end is good and even some zinc oxide for diaper rash"


"I have been constipated for 2 weeks from morphine and surgery. I have taken all over counter laxatives in this last week, got me a few bottles of magnesium citrate still nothing. I feel very nauseated tired and just yucky. Very frustrated, my doctor has been trying to help with no success yet."


"I have been taking this medication for 2 months, the first month I suffered almost all of the side effects from loss of appetite, headaches, dizziness, loss of concentration, loss of sex drive and not sleeping.
2 month in and I find myself having episodes of feeling really angry and crying for no reason and to the point of not eating and just sleeping.
I am seeing a psychologist and am yet to discuss with them why I am still feeling depressed and now angry with or at myself."


"Fluoxetine changed my life. My postpartum experience after our second child was hell on Earth and I thought I would end up permanently crazy. It took months to feel the full impact -- so PLEASE hang in there. I wanted to quit Prozac so many times but thank goodnes I stuck it out. I cannot say enough good points about this medication."


"I was prescribed duac after getting very bad acne after coming off the pill. This was very unusual for me as I'd never had bad spots and it didn't run in my family. I found that my face was extremely oily all the time and was giving me large horribly pustule spots.
I was given 3% duac as I was told the 5% would make the skin very dry and 1% may not work so it would be reviewed and altered to see how it went. I noticed changes immediately after 1 week and my skin has been flawless and I've even had compliments on it!
For the people saying it made their skin too dry I could suggest maybe getting a lower % and only apply it once a day as I do at night time after washing my face. It honestly works wonders I couldn't recommend it more!"


"I've been taking Effexor for 5 months now and I can say it definitely has worked for me. It can take time to actually start working though so give it some time. The only downfall is if I forget to take it for  a day, I start getting dizzy, brain zaps, and headaches. I am now waiting to refill it and haven't taken it for about a week and the symptoms are still occurring. Even with that said, I would recommend this medicine for depression/anxiety. I no longer cry all the time for no reason. Definitely has changed my life (:"


"I have taken Inderal now for a few months. I have noticed that my migraines are down to 2-4 a month. I was 5-6 a week. I was using the max dosage of Imitrex and still not getting any relief. Don't get me wrong. I love my Imitrex and can't live without it. Inderal has improved a lot of my headaches. At first I hated Inderal because I hated the idea of feeling slow and tired all the time. Now if I forget to take it my coworkers notice immediately! I get very agitated and nauseous when I have a headache to begin with and I slur my words. I want candies loaded with dyes and I get a manic-like hyperactive speech. I feel better now than I did in May. I still feel the migraines I don't feel their attacks."


"I absolutely love it! It's so reliable. You don't have to remember to insert anything or take a pill everyday. Side effects are just like taking the pill. Every lady is going to be different and experience different side effects. So far, I've had no problems. Love it!"


"Used this for severely underweight toddler (borderline failure to thrive) to gently bring the weight back on to the growth chart.  Managed to bring the weight up from off the chart to 25% (for a 90% height baby)."


"After suffering from RLS for over 30 years and trying numerous medications to include Quinine Sulfate this WORKS. Loss of sleep has diminished as well as the attitude to go along with it. I can't believe that after all the Doctors I saw this one diagnosed it without me telling him. I was sitting in the office and my legs were jumping, that afternoon I tried the Mirapex and presto problem solved. No side effects I know of, dose is 0.5 mg 2x per day, some days not needed. What a relief."


"Hi, everyone!  Well, I have been on the Depo on and off since I was 18 years old.  Frankly, it has been the best birth control method for me.  My period stopped completely and I gained no weight because of it. I've been off of it now for exactly a year. I began to spot within the month I was off of it and only skipped the January cycle; by June my cycle ranged from 25 to 30 days, and by now to an avg of 25, which is normal.  This month, however, I have experienced breast enlargement and soreness, along with weight gain from 6 days before my period started.  My doctor says that might be a sign that I may start ovulating on my own. The only negatives are the bone density loss and the length of time it takes to become fertile again."


"Worked wonders!  Went off Depakote ER, lost the 50 lbs, went on Lamictal, also take 20 mg of Lexapro for depressive moods.  Feel great!"


"Soma has been the only spasm medicine that is affordable, to improve my quality of life after 3
back surgeries. Some of the side effects from other medicines, like Flexeril, have left me tired all the time, and with a feeling of irritability. But my doctor has recently told me she will soon stop prescribing it. Looking for affordable alternatives now."

"I have been on Seasonique for 3 years. At first I had no problems with the pill. Recently I have noticed an extreme change in my body. I have severe mood swings along with depression. I have also had severe cramps and break through bleeding. For as long as I can remember I have not had a sex drive, which is not good being newly married. It's almost to the point where I do not want to be touched at all. My legs ache all of the time no matter what I am doing and I have gained around 10 lbs. I have always had bad periods and it has helped a little but not enough to continue to stay on this pill. I am now asking myself why have I stayed on this pill for so long."


"I just started taking this for chronic knee/foot/neck pain, and it works great!  I take two doses a day of one 5/325 pill.  Along with it, I also take 400 mg of ibuprofen, and this combination seems to be a miracle for my pain.  It makes me feel back to normal for about six hours."


"One day I couldn't take my pill because of a saliva test, and was very, very tired and a little depressed.  Also, pill leaves very dry mouth, bad taste at times, and also lightheadedness.  However, in spite of the side effects, drug works wonderfully in reducing appetite."


"Red, raised skin, itchy and uncomfortable reaction at each site to adhesive that was lasting for a week - so not only site with a patch but also from the previous patch. Dry mouth, dizziness and nausea but yes reduced need to run for  the bathroom just the side effects starting causing as many problems as it was meant to be solving."


"Prescribed Bactrim for boils on abdomen/legs. I was only able to take it for 3 days, due to the adverse reaction. The boils are much better (and I hope they don't come back), but the back pain, abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea were enough to make me stop taking it. Plus, I'm not sure if this is a medicine of choice for anyone with ulcerative colitis, but now I'm having a huge flare of that! "


"This is my 4th day on Sustiva. I've experienced drowsiness, mental confusion, anxiety and sleeplessness. I have to get used to not eating before taking as eating prior to, only makes those symptoms worse. I've developed a habit of bumping into things and when I drive, I'm not driving as I usually do, it's a little bit over the road, so be cautious with heavy machinery. The symptoms usually die down within 2 hours of my awakening and I feel somewhat like my old self. Like I said, it's only been 4 days, so hopefully, these symptoms will subside as I continue to partake. I definitely do not recommend drinking anything other than water with this medicine. The effects are way too powerful. One last thing, be careful with your steps, I fell at work."


"This birth control is so good when it comes to not getting pregnant. The side effects on the other hand have been horrible for me. One month I've had a periods that was so heavy and painful it felt like labor and lasted for 8 days. And I've been getting headaches nonstop ever since I got it in. Not just regular headaches but migraine like ones. And I've had some days when I felt dizzy and nausea. So if you're willing to deal with the horrible side effects then yes I'd recommend it. But side effects for every woman is different."


"Keflex 500 mg 3 times a day is slowly but surely getting rid of my folliculitis. It took about 3 days for the infection to stop weeping, another 2 days later it has almost completely dried up. No discernible side effects for me."


"For three years we have tried so many meds to control my daughter's ADHD. None worked or it would work for a month and stop. This was our miracle drug. She had no side affects. It's been a long three years and we finally have normalcy in our lives. It's a 12 hours release as well, unlike the others at 8 hours."


"I find that Keppra has reduced my seizures - Grand Mals - but I occasionally lose the ability to reason, wonder where I am. It also has considerably increased my weight. I am on Lamictal also. There is the odd mood swing but I attribute that to Lamictal. My headaches are just about the same. No significant change in using it. I've been on it five years now."


"Controls pain very well.  Great for baseline around the clock coverage with short acting medication for break through pain.  DO NOT ABUSE THIS MEDICATION! "


"After one month, hip pain and lower back pain dramatically improved. Haven't slept more than few hours for last 3 years due to severe pain and now I can sleep all night. Used to have monthly flare-ups of full body inflammation lasting 3-5 days. Fingers crossed... So far, no flare ups!"


"I did not like this birth control and i'm switching after I complete this pack. I experienced constant nausea at the beginning of each pack and randomly throughout the pack. I would wake up in the middle of the night with a horrible feeling that I was gonna throw up. (I also have a sensitive stomach) I thought my body was still getting use to the hormones but I continued for more than 3 months and nothing's changed. I would get horrible mood swings a couple hours before and after I took the pill. I've gained weight on it and the worst of all I spot every month at the beginning of the second week. It sometimes lasted for up to 7 days. My period is very light only 2 days but I didnt want that, it's made me paranoid every month."


"I have been taking it for four nights. I fall asleep for about an hour and go into a state of mind in which my mind is awake but my body is asleep. Then my body wakes up after one hour and I am awake for the rest of the night feeling extremely fidgety like I need to pace or jump out of my skin. The feeling continues for about 12 hours. I can't take it anymore.  If it had no effect, I would keep taking it waiting for that magical night that many seem to express happens.  This reaction frightens me. I don't want to chance rage like Wellbutrin causes in me."


"I'm 24 and suffer from anorexia and I'm in treatment now and my doctor put me on Androderm. It changed my life I went to other doctors and they just prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. When I got into treatment I found out my level was at 201 and was supposed to be between 800 and 900. I got my appetite back, less fatigue, and all around feel awesome!"


"I have severe RA plus Psoriatic Arthritis plus Asthma plus osteoarthritis plus osteoporosis and I just turned 60. I have severe allergies to anti inflammatories and have had my RA for 30 years. Right now I am on Humara ( can't take methotrexate) and have been for 10 years. Humara really helped at one time but just doesn't work for me anymore. I am in an intense flair that just won't stop we tried Xeljan but my sensitive stomach said no more. I was glad to use the Humara even if I did hold my breath when it came to side effects, nothing major happened but I miss my thick hair."


"I got a sample 3 days ago and noticed improvement in 24 hours. My brain fog is gone, stuffiness greatly reduced and I feel better than I have for months if not years. I'll check in again after longer use. Right now I am wishing I had this at least a year ago."


"I'm 47 years old never did good in school but managed. My wife has been saying I am ADD and spoke to my doctor about it so after a few months of office visits, I go monthly he said he's been watching my responses and wrote me Vyvanse 30mgs. All I can say is WOW finally everything makes sense I get things done no late afternoon crash its fantastic !! I have social anxiety very bad and this miracle drug took it all away !! I'm on my second month and higher dose just to 40mgs and its perfect !! I actually hugged my doctor on the following visit and thanked him for finally turning my light switch on ! I can't say enough about this miracle drug Vyvanse !! Now I can look forward to a new day instead of dreading having to get out of bed !"


"I had been suffering with excessive sweating in my armpits for at least 2 years before I finally got a doctors opinion. Getting this medicine really changed what I did from day to day. I use it just once a week and I never find myself sweating anymore. Sometimes I feel like I'm sweating but when I look I don't have a speck of sweat. The only problem I have with this medicine is that every time I apply it my arm pits get extremely itchy and sometimes I will wake up with a rash, but I guess that's just the price of not having sweat anymore. I strongly advise you to talk to your doctor about this medicine if you're having the same problem! Don't be scared to ask!"


"Having had the Herpesvirus all my life. Its a viral nightmare. Most people experience it in their their lips. I'm one of the few (lucky ones) that experiences it in both ways, in my lips and my eyes. Its not nice.....but people need to understand the causation. Late nights. STRESS (unconscious stress), poor diet/ too much booze. For the "lucky" ones who experience it in their eyes  ...I would say STRESS, STRESS, STRESS.  is It again. No real tricks involved but when you get them, you kinda know why. Tiredness, Poor nutrition, and Stress. Wouldn't find it funny..... but I can not catch any other illness....Flu,Cold, Man flue. Has to be a immunity thing. Lysine....
I think could solve it. Regards S"


"I have had chronic kidney stones for 10 yrs. Over 200 stones, over 35 stone related surgeries. Can't take Toradol, Morphine, or Zofran. 2 mg of Dilaudid IV and Phenegran eases the pain in about 30-45 seconds-flat. Just close your eyes and sleep--immediately. It doesn't last a long time, 3-4 hrs. However, the relief is almost instant and complete. No drug I have ever taken compares. Can make you loopy, and NO DRIVING!!! I only take it when the pain is unbearable-it is very addictive, if over used."


"I was given Nitrofurantoin as two previous antibiotics hadn't helped to shift my kidney infection. I take 4 a day for 7 days and I'm halfway through my suggested dose. I have improved being on this medication but I can't feel the benefits as the nausea, vomiting and tiredness are too severe too notice the change. I feel constantly sick and occasional vomiting and extremely tired, I think it's the side effects of the tablets. I have barely been out of bed for a week, I hope to pick up soon."


"Was given Hydromet syrup for violent cough due to upper respiratory Infection.  Works VERY well.  The only problem I have is intense itching with any hydrocodone."


"I've been on Minastrin for 5 months now. The first 3 were horrible. I had every possible side effect- bloating, mood swings, sore chest, acne, spotting, you name it! About my fourth month, my body got adjusted and I now love it. No spotting, mood swings, and my acne has subsided. For those who are just now on it, push through."


"Synthroid has changed my life -- from 16 hours/day in bed to being an active medical school student.  The only side effect I have experienced is dry eye in the mornings, but that is fine with the use of artificial tears.  I used Synthroid for my Hashimoto's and now continue to use it post-thyroidectomy.  I only use the Synthroid name brand because generics could be made at different labs and will not be exactly the same every month.  Talk to your doctor about using generics.  My doctors only prescribe the name brand for me because it is important to have constant thyroid hormone levels."


"A good generic."


"I'd been doing very well after I quit drinking and illicite drugs over 10 years the my mother came down with cancer and I helped her through hospice and besides physical health problems I was diagnosed with depression. The dr put me on the 50 mgs generic zoloft and I didn't emediately feel a change but my fellow workers at my job did first and asked if I'm alright? Your not getting angry anymore. It's helped for about 5 years as my wife and I have been going through some serious medical problems of getting older.  About a month ago I would just start breaking out in tears as I would be driving the car of at home watching TV for no apperent reason I could find. I asked my doctor if increasing it would help and it has after about 3 days!"


"First, I am a 17 year old female who had been having some random constipation trouble.
When I first bought Dulcolax, I went to the internet for reviews so I could find some info on how it might affect me. Let me just say, YOU PEOPLE SCARED ME TO DEATH! After reading countless reviews, I was so anxious and was considering not taking the medication and prolonging my suffering. I took 1 pill at 11 a.m. I had drank a bottle of water before and drank another one immediately after. During the rest of the day I drank about 6 bottles of water and 1 bottle of Gatorade. I was able to pass very soft BM about 4:40, then again at 4:50, then again about 6:50 but it was not terrible. I felt slight pressure and hardly cramping before I would have to go to the bathroom.  I did not have any horrible cramping, sweating, or any other crazy side effects that so many people described."


"I have been taking this medication for 2 months.  I am so unbearably tired.  It has affected my quality of life.  I called my doctor today and am waiting on a call back.  She HAS to change my meds.  I can't tolerate the point of exhaustion.  I can't even make it through a grocery store without feeling the uncontrollable need to sleep.  My husband is fed up with me right now due to this, but it is not something I can help as long as I take it.  If it wasn't for that it would be a miracle drug.  I have felt better besides that."


"Am having the runny nose, flu like symptoms, frequent urination and horrible diarrhea. This is the only change that has taken place. I left Flexeril and changed to this. "


"I was 150 pounds and I went up to 182 pounds within two months of using olanzapine. You are hungry all of the time on this medication and never feel satisfied. The first two weeks of medication use I felt very tired. I am still tired, but it's not as bad as it was. I started on 15 mg. I dropped down to 10 mg. The unpleasant side effects described continued. I am in the process of getting off this medication."


"i have anxiety induced high blood pressure. At first it didn't do anything for me,  however I wasn't taking it at the right time of day. It works wonders when taken at night before bed.  Extended release takes 4-5 hours to start working and much longer for peak levels in blood.  I now take it at around 10PM and am really calm the next day."


"I suffered with mental health issues for many years I refused to take antidepressants until I met with a mental health doctor.
I got diagnosed with Bipolar type 2
Since taking this medication my life has changed I can work full time and have had NO suicidal thoughts and hardly get tearful
But I have experienced memory loss short term thoughts a bit more forgetful"


"I am currently on my second day of 7 for severe diarrhea symptoms due to gastroenteritis. I have to take Flagyl 500mg for 3 times a day. I took the first dose at the ER and thought I was going to die the entire night. I had horrendous stomach pains and my diarrhea was continuing. I also got very tired. However, when I woke up this morning I noticed my severe diarrhea was gone! I was very relieved. So far my stomach feels queasy but I will take that ANY day over diarrhea and a terrible stomach ache. My only real complaint so far is the tiredness I am feeling after taking this medication. Flagyl hasn't given me a bad taste in my mouth so far, it just tastes odd if that makes sense."


"I have been on this for approximately 15 years. This is the only pill that works for me and my chronic congestion. Unfortunately my healthcare provider will no longer cover the cost so I have to try to find something similar."


"I took 225mg of Effexor XR for about 6 years for MDD and was doing well until I started to notice a drop in it's effectiveness.  I then tried Lexapro (terrible) and Cymbalta.  The latter worked well for about a year-and-a-half, until, again, it's effectiveness waned.  My physician suggested that, since Effexor XR had worked in the past, I give it another shot.  I've been back on 150mg now for over a year-and-a-half and am doing well on it.  The medicine, along with talk therapy, has helped significantly.  The side effects I experience are:  increased sweating, dry mouth, and loss of libido.  Also, missing a dose for more than a day is miserable, as it causes nausea, a "disconnected head" feeling and slight anxiety."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I am taking this in conjuction with AC Chemotherapy for IDC Breast Cancer. I am 40 years old and haven't had much aching that I couldn't take care of with Advil. Not a bad trade-off for good white blood cell numbers."


"Rexulti has been a life changer! I'm on 1mg. I know that's not a lot, but it's worked so well for me. Way less depressed mood than usual. I have Bipolar Type II. This was an add on to Trileptal and it's really been amazing for me. Would definitely recommend to others :)"


"This is the only medicine that relieve my pains."


"This is pure poison for a man...it destroys him right from his very core. I took just one pill 1mg of finpecia..had the worst possible screwed up life during the first few weeks..later kept seeing improvements regarding all aspects....I think will all due respect this drug should be banned from the market. It plays a game of abacus with ur hormonal levels and believe me its never ever...worth it, don't even try one pill from a  mate. I'm still recovering, been 9 weeks off...still have get myself back from this weird phase of my life. I wish there were negative rating for this drug...like i'd give "-10" for this piece of trash. Stay  away this at all costs...Cheers GDV"


"Insurance would no longer cover Oseni which was working great. Suggested this one. Stomach is a mess. Was up all night wanting to throw up and with severe chills. Did keep my blood sugar between 90-120 but I just want to die."


"I was prescribed duac gel for my acne. At first it worked wonders on my skin and cleared up my acne. I found sometimes that it would dry out my skin though so I had to moisturise everyday. After using it for about 5 months I took a break from using it. About 5 months later I starting to use duac gel again, as I seen my acne was slowly starting to reappear. However when I started using it the second time I woke up the next morning and my eyes were very swollen, red and itchy. I thought it may have been something that I had eaten the previous day but as I continued to use duac gel every night, every morning I woke up I had very swollen, red and itchy eyes. Last night I used duac gel and I woke up with severely swollen eyes and had to go to GP"


"I have had chronic pain and tried many medicines including narcotics to help. Celebrex has helped me so much. I am able to do so many things that I couldn't before. My doctor has me taking it with Tylenol w/Codeine #3 and Carisoprodol."


"I got my first cold sore when I was 3 years old.  I am now 36, and have tried every topical ointment available over that time frame, both prescription and OTC.  If you have recurrent cold sores you know all too well the stress associated with having one.  A few years ago my doctors MA suggested I take a sample of Valtex, keep it on hand, and when I first sense a cold sore coming, take 1 gram, then wait 12 hours and take another gram, and do this for 2 full days - or 4 total doses.  I was nearly sore free in 2 days.  It works best if you catch it early, but still can be effective on a developed sore.  I now ask my doctor for a 30 pill supply and keep it at the ready.  I find I fill it once a year."


"I Started Letrozole 5 months ago. I take it at night. My side effects have been minimal compared to what it is doing for me (hopefully)  I started with terrible leg aches at night for a couple of months and they are now gone-- My hands and ankles are really stiff in the morning, my body feels a bit beat up, and I had a vaginal discharge for about 4 months that finally stopped. Also my pap came back abnormal due to the hormone changes my body is going through so don't freak out right away if that happens. All  normal!   My doc has also put me on Alendronate Sodium tablets once a week to help with my bones and to prevent bone cancer. I just started getting back into working out with some weights  and tread mill and that is helping for sure."


"I have had problems for years, with urine leakage/having to go to the bathroom a lot and not being able to hold it.  Last year, the doctor that I was seeing had suggested that I have surgery to correct the problem.  I would have had to be off work for 6 weeks.  I've been on Vesicare for just over a month and it's a lifesaver.  I started seeing results almost immediately. Now, instead of having to go to the bathroom every few hours (I drive a para-transit bus) and not being able to make it to the bathroom in time, I go maybe 4 times a day.  I would recommend it to anyone that was having problems with overactive bladder.  The coupon, that my pharmacist includes, also helps....thanks!  My husband says thanks to."


"I have been taking this for a little over a month, and I am extremely happy. I have suffered from chronic constipation my entire life. Since on this medication, I have regular bowel movements and less cramping and bloating.  It does make me drowsy, so I now take it before I go to bed. I take one at night and by the morning, I am able to go."


"Would not have bought a new bottle if I had known the new safety cap was nearly impossible to open. Will not buy again until the cap is redesigned"


"I've been taking Prozac 20MG for 3 weeks now. It has changed my life. I take other meds (Xanax 1MG, Depakote 1000MG, Norco 10/325MG, Nexium 40MG) For other problems. Well I take the Xanax 4 times a day as needed to help with my anxiety and panic disorder. My Panic attacks were so bad I was hospitalized for a week. I couldn't function. I suffered unknown seizures because of panic disorder. Now I can Go about my Life. The only problem I have with Prozac is that it makes me go to the bathroom very often. The first few days it made me sleepy but that went away. I'm 16. It also helps depression too, its helped mine a lot. I would recommend this to anyone who suffers from severe anxiety like me."


"After reading some of the reviews I just want to say that amitriptyline is not prescribed to help with the daily pain of fibromyalgia. It is used to help ease the other symptoms it can cause. If you are taking it in hopes that your daily aches and pains are going to go away then I suggest you see a different doctor and try something else. I take Savella also and that has helped me a great deal. But I am using amitriptyline because I suffer from tension headaches and migraines. Out of the month, I can go every day with a headache. I have not been on it long enough to give you a full review but since I have been on it I can say that I am sleeping much better and my headaches are getting better. I have been on it for a little more than a week."


"For the past 12 months I have had one bout of sinusitis after another then got influenza.  I literally could not leave the house more than once a day for less than an hour without becoming totally fatigued.  My GP did not know what to do but finally suggested BREO.  I hesitantly agreed then quickly became a supporter of this inhaler.  My energy level returned to normal despite marginally improved pulmonary functions.

This is my 4th month on BREO, and I have isolated a few side effects: hoarseness & mouth tenderness (both despite rinsing immediately after taking the med) and worsening of GI symptoms.  Like others, I am using the coupon from the mfg, or this drug would be too expensive for me. I have a few months to consider next steps."


"I was given this pill to take because I stopped having a period for 6 months.   Put me on this for 10 days and the very first day of taking a pill I spotted.     Then light period for 5 days. Then the next month.   No period. So started taking the pills again.  Not till the LAST pill was there blood.  It was light at first for  3 days, now I have been bleeding So heavy non stop! I’ve been bleeding 10 days straight!  Is something wrong? Called my doctor and they were “busy” said call back.  Never did I can’t stand that office"


"I have chronic mild depression and have been on Paroxetine for 5 years and it has the least side effects. Tried Prozac, Effexor, Wellbrutin and Lexapro.  With Lexapro and Wellbrutrin, I had horrible insomnia, I was up all night. With Paroxetine (Paxil) I sleep like a baby."


"I started taking Tramadol for undiagnosed knee pain about ten years ago.  It was a miracle.  I was actually able to walk for most of the day without pain.  I finally had knee surgery, so I only had to take it a couple times a week.  Then, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 5 years ago and had brain surgery, which I have had many bad effects from.  The tramadol and also Percocet get me through my days.  I want to kiss whoever created the tramadol."


"Please DO not use minocycline for acne. This drug caused me to contract psuedotumor cerebri (a pretty serious brain condition) I had been on my dosage of 100mg x2 per day for about a month. About two weeks in I began to have horrible headaches, which persisted throughout the whole day. One night the headache became so unbareable I needed to go into the ER. I was diagnosed with an intractable headache and send home after a few IV bags. My headaches persisted but I ignored them and thought possibly the heat was causing them. About 2 weeks after my first visit I began to have double vision. I called my doctor and they order a MRI immediately. The MRI showed a build up of pressure on my optic nerve, caused by minocycline."


"I had unprotected "sex" meaning there was no penetration but parts still came into direct content if that makes sense, so I took plan B one step about 38 hours afterwards just to be on the safe side. I was pretty scared to take it because of the list of side effects but my only major symptoms were extremely tender breasts and mood swings. I also experienced slight cramping occasionally and a bit of nausea but neither were too severe. I had to wait a little over a week for my period which was agonizing. I got it exactly on time and the cramping was very painful, but definitely worth not being pregnant. Super happy that plan B worked for me!"


"I was so optimistic when i got the nexplanon implant. I wanted it to work for me so bad, but now, 7.5 months after insertion I am STILL bleeding. I love that i have no pill, no worries, and no babies, but the bleeding has gotten out of control. I am calling my doctor today to have it taken out and to get mirena instead."


"I was on this for several months and had great experiences with it. It made all the weird little hallucinations go away, caused me to effortlessly drop all of the risperdal weight (60lbs!), and just generally really helped stabilize my mood, combined with the xanax and Depakote. Unfortunately, it's about $300 a bottle on my insurance (generic)."


"I switched to this from the Nuvaring about three to four years ago. It originally worked great; timed my periods perfectly (always Sunday at noon after last active pill), would stop my period with no breakthrough bleeding when starting another pack and made my periods light and pain free. It was also an effective birth control method as I've never been pregnant. This year, however, my boyfriend and I noticed I would have severe mood swings in my third week of active pills. I would literally not want to be in a relationship. I've also noticed breakouts on my face and body and get mild cramping every few months. "


"I have had migraines for over 30 years. Have tried everything. This works the best almost every time. I'd say 9 out of 10 times it cures the migraine and is a winner in my book."


"I have been taking since May and I am sick every day. I have never felt this bad taking any medication my doctor is going to have to put me on something different."


"Bad side effects (or what I would consider bad side effects and not to be tolerated) - 71 year old female, 58 kgs:   been taking 500 mg a day for approx 2 and a half months.  Recently experienced fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches, extreme tiredness, lack of appetite - enough that I could not function and spent days in bed.  Waited 5 days, took another dose and was back in the same position the next day.  Decided to stop medication for next few weeks.  Blood test due in 2 weeks and see Specialist in December."


"I have mainly been given this medication for insomnia, and for several years it worked incredibly to help me sleep every night, the withdrawals are rough when I don't have it, and my insomnia get's really bad as well. I think it helped my anxiety depression some too. All of a sudden at 200mg it stopped working! Was very bummed out, but luckily doctor has found a replacement."


"it made the pain go away but i then had to deal with the side effects that either came with the headache or from the meds but at least the pain was gone"


"After reading all the reviews and trying just about everything under the sun, I have found something that works for my lower back pain.

I was in a car accident when I was 14 and broke my L4&5, since then I have been dealing with back pain (I am now 40).

Last year my Dr. Discussed cymbalta with me. After doing some research I decided to give it a whirl, I was almost turned off the idea due to some of the negative experiences...glad I tried it.

I am currently pain free, I did experience some side effects all of which dissapeared before 5 months;

Excessive yawning

Not being able to ejaculate during sex

Feeling of tiredness

Some anxiety

Sweats

Weight gain

Vivid dreams

kept peeing a little after I thought I was done

Give it time, if you try!"


"I have had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep for years now. I would normally wake up every 2 hours and find it hard to fall back asleep if at all. I have been taking temazepam for 2 weeks on alternate nights, starting with a 10mg dose which didn't affect me at all, but with a higher dose of 40mg it has been working wonders. Leaves me with a dry mouth and a floaty feeling in the morning but very worth it."


"This is the best pain medication."


"I started this medicine almost 2 weeks ago. I don't feel as depressed but I feel most days that I'm walking around with my head in a fog. Some stomach issues but nothing major(mostly gas). I will give it a few more weeks but after reading some of the people's comments may stay at 20mg until I see my doctor again."


"My 10 year old daughter had her doctors appointment on Friday. She started Focalin 5mg on Saturday. Last might, Sunday, she was complaining of stomach pains. And again before school this morning. I gave her some tums and cereal, and I'm hoping for the best. The doctor said that the stomach pains will subside in about a week. She's not really "zombied", but it seems as though there's a lot less talking. She's not ADHD, just ADD. I am worrying very much. I hope that the Focalin equals out in her system soon."


"I used to take Viagra on occasion and it worked great. I even was able to split 50mg in quarters. Doc recommended Cialis at 2.5mg first. Took for 2 week no results. Then he gave me 5mg and he said I can take up to 4 5mg at a time. Still no where near the firmness of Viagra. It took hours to start working and firmness would last about 5 minutes. I could get hard again but I'll lose it fast. Goes to show not all meds work for all."


"Been taking this for three days now for pertussis and pneumonia. Major changes are loosening of phlegm and improved breathing. Although metallic taste is awful, definitely worth it."


"When I first began diamox I felt hopefully as the previous medication didn't work (topamax). At first, I felt so much better,then my dosage was increased. Once my dosage was increased I started breaking out in hives (in upper body) turns out I am allergic to it. I'm currently on the lowest dose to hold me over until I can get a shunt."


"I started Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo on May 19th but I got my period on May 3 and since I started the pill I missed my June period and I've been experiencing heartburn, nausea, weakness/fatigue sometimes bloating. Makes me feel pregnant, my breast didn't change much. The fact that it throws your hormones off my sex drive is finally low."


"I started on the patch for my acne, but my skin had allergic reaction to the patch. It gave me no side effects, so the doctor changed me to oral contraceptive. The one with the closest hormone dosage to the patch was Levora (called MinOvral in Canada).

I have been on it for 6 years now. The only side effect I have experienced is mild breakouts right when I start a new pack after a week off, but I can put up with that. It is also slightly pricier than many other oral contraceptives. Unfortunately my school's insurance plan does not completely cover it, but it is still affordable."


"I took Bystolic for about 7 months, but had to discontinue because of side effects. One of the many side effects I suffered was severe anxiety. I was only able to take 2.5mg and my blood pressure was not controlled."


"Did not worl"


"Took this about 10 hours after unprotected sex. Felt fine the day I took it, but about 3 weeks later I started to feel sick to my stomach, crampy and had lower back pain. OF COURSE I panicked read lots of negative reviews and took a test, which came back negative, but I also took it about 2 1/2 weeks after intercourse, so it was still early. Fast forward 2 weeks and my period is here. For me it did what I needed it to, so I was okay with the side effects. Do not overthink it and don't read all the negative reviews, it does work!"


"I have nothing but good things to say about this pill. The first time I was on it I started it in Feb of 2012 and stopped due to death of my mom in June 2012. My start weight was 210lbs and I am 5'6". When my mom passed I weighed  179lbs.  I was supposed to be on the meds until September so I lost 49lbs in 4 months and I felt awesome. Until that day in June where my world came crashing down. I just recently went back on the pill weighing in at 205lbs and now I am down to 191lbs. It is working a little slower the second time around but now I am a stay at home mom of three and haven't really been able to exercise since I have been on besides my regular running around after the kids.  No side effects."


"I started taking Biaxin two days ago for both a dental abscess and chronic bronchitis. So far I haven't noticed a difference but it may take a while. Horrible taste in my mouth and very sleepy. All in all it's not a bad medication so far."


"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 have had panic attacks for my whole life and tried every med possible. My doctor put me on Buspar to help with it. I took ONE pill in the morning and was supposed to take another at night. Throughout the day I couldn't walk, felt drunk, my eyes were burning, my pupils were twitching and my body was aching. I have a 1 year old and I couldn't take care of her that day. I had to call an on call doctor 4 times that night, call my psychologist, and I was told to skip my night time dose. I took my morning one when I woke up barely able to be coherent and went to my therapy appointment. He sent me straight to my doctor and they took me off it immediately."


"Been on and off anti depressants for 10 years (still can't believe it). Tried Paxil and currently take 10 mg of Lexapro.  Still do not feel well.  I find running helps me more than anything but I fear the day the running is too much. I'm 40 and in otherwise good health, but I feel pretty lousy almost every single day.  I am happy to read about people doing well on medication, but all I get from it is dizziness/lightheaded.  Still optimistic about one day looking back at this nightmare in disbelief.  Until then."


"I have been in pain management for almost a year now, before was just being treated by a variety of different doctors. Primary, Nuerologist, Nerve Experts and so on...Finally asked for referral to Pain Management for injection therapy. I have been on every pain medicine out there. I have a bulging disc between c4 and c5, occipital neuralgia, and severe right sciatic nueropathy in my right leg below my knee. Now I am on 50 mg of Fentanyl every 48 hours and was told by doctor to leave old patch on when I put on the new one at bedtime and remove old one in morning because it takes about 8-12 hours before the medicines from the patch are fully in your system. Have to use Tegaderm Films to keep patch on but it seems to work okay. Have Vicodin for breakthrough."


"I started taking Adipex on July 15, and I must say I have definitely seen a difference in my eating habits and it's only been 3 days! Amazing! I was 127lbs in 2012 and somewhere along the line I lost the will to work out and stay fit. Needless to say I gained about 35lbs since then so I am giving Adipex a try and it's doing wonders for my appetite! I experienced dry mouth the first day and that's the only side affect I have had. I eat a yogurt for lunch and dinner is 2 turkey sandwiches on wheat bread, and I drink 2-3 bottles of water a day. Eating right and exercise are key to helping drop weight quicker! Once you stop taking the pill you must maintain good eating habits along with exercise or the weight will come back plus more!"


"This is my 2nd infection within several months. I'm using miconazole, its a 3 day treatment with the applicators/feminine wipes and the external cream . This is a great product I would recommend this over the 7 day treatment. Yes the first application is always gonna burn but that's how ya know its working! The only problem I've ever really suffered is how messy it gets during the day. Wear protected panties if you plan on going out !"


"I had a very serious vomiting problem with my first pregnancy. I had to be hospitalized and then put on an IV at home for fluids. When I was about two months pregnant with my second child I was given promethazine, and it was the only thing that kept me from the same issues as the first pregnancy. I was still sick everyday, and I was still vomiting sporadically. However, I was able to actually eat and drink and gain weight. My son was born fine. Now I am pregnant with my third and have started on it earlier than the second pregnancy. I was not aware that the effects of the drug on unborn children is unknown. My doctor had told me it was safe. Hopefully this next baby will be fine as well."


"After suffering ulcerative colitis for almost 20 yrs (bleeding, occasional diarrhea) But regular daily BMs, I suddenly just stopped going. Period. I tried OTC laxatives, diet change, water, etc. nothing worked but several glycerin suppositories a few mornings a week. My gastric had me try Linzess which works - I take it when I wake about 6AM about 3 days a Wk when I can be home until at least mid AM. It usually works within 2 1/2 hrs. I might try it at night."


"A very good medicine. Results in two days."


"I was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder early this year after spending most of my life not knowing what was going on with me. I was prescribed Depakote at 750mg a day to start with. I'd never had any other medication so cannot compare it to anything else but without it I don't think I would be here now. I got that bad with my mood swings becoming so severe. Yes, I've put on a little weight but I'd rather that than go back to how I was. Yes at times I'm still hyper and then exhausted for a few days, still better than being erratic and bouncing off the walls for days/weeks on end. I know it wont work for everyone but I'm doing much better with it."


"My doctor recommended Nexplanon after I got pregnant while on Nuvaring, but later miscarried. The first few months were great, the first month I had a normal period and then none yay!  Month 4 brought on a pain in my right lower abdomen that was terrible along with bleeding black blood.  My PCP was out so I ended up at a walk in clinic where I found out this lovely birth control caused ovarian cysts. One had ruptured leading to the bleeding the other needed to be removed surgically.  Apparently this is a very common side effect."


"My cholesterol has dropped 21 points since I started taking Niacin. The only side effects I experience is flushing of the body (like prickly heat) and itching sensations."


"I have no idea how it works. I don't feel much of an effect when I take it. I want it to help me fall asleep, but it only helps me stay asleep. I take 15mg a night with no hangover the next day. Don't let your pharmacy say its discontinued! I get this medication mail ordered to my house."


"Had a Pulmonary Embolism in March 2014, I am happy with Xarelto in that it is a pill I can take without weekly blood work.  My only complaint is that I am losing my hair in clumps!  I tell you it is like I am taking chemo or something.  I used to have very thick long hair and now my hair falls out horribly in the shower, when I brush it, all day long on my clothes, in the car whatever. Hair loss is not currently listed as a side affect but I called the 800 number of the company and put in a complaint about it as many others have."


"Depo- Provera has been a life saver for me! Since I've been getting it, my severe bleeding I've suffered for so long with is gone! I have no periods at all. It's also amazing at preventing pregnancy. I've been with my fiancé for 11 years & we don't use protection, and I like to let him finish in me. No babies here! The only symptoms I get when the shot is first given is slight fatigue. I'd highly recommend you giving it a chance. I've tried everything from an IUD to pills. The IUD worked great for pregnancy also, but caused severe pain & I had to get it removed along with a pelvic ultrasound to make sure no damage was done."


"I had a very small cut next to my fingernail that turned into a full-blown staph infection (cellulitis. It very quickly (within 24 hours) spread up my finger to my second knuckle. My doctor prescribed 10 days of Bactrim and by the second day the infection began to subside. No side effects that I can think of."


"This was the very first birth control brand I've taken, I was so happy because it didn't give me any weight gain or acne. It did make me very emotional and crazy after using it for a year or more, it made my relationship with the boyfriend go downhill. So I stopped taking it for 3 months and I started gaining a lot of weight out of nowhere. I've never been this heavy before, so I'm deciding to take it again but with a vitamin called Evening Primose Oil capsules. Hopefully it will help with my emotional wreck and craziness. Of course, every brand and dose is different for each person. I wish there was something that would tell us what works best for our bodies."


"I have to say this pill has been a miracle for me. I was scared reading some other reviews of what people said but take everything with a grain of salt because everyone's body is different. There will be a right pill out there for you! I wanted birth control to regulate things and clear my hormonal acne. I got prescribed Sprintec and got the Mononessa. After one month things are great. My acne is cleared just left over marks healing. My moods have improved. I feel happier and less anxious. Sometimes a little hungry and sore/bigger breasts but my breasts were small so that's a plus for me. Light flow and little cramping first day. Never felt sick and no headaches at all and no weight gain."


"This is my first time trying birth control. had my IUD placed on the 16th of this month. Insertion was fine; it was quick, and it feels like period cramps when it's being inserted. I felt great the first day, but by the 2nd day, I had TREMENDOUS amounts of pain. I had back pain, abdominal pain, leg pain, and neck pain which I never had before. It got worse as the days passed, and all I could do was lay in bed. I had severe pain which would make me yelp. Intercourse was painful and uncomfortable. I scheduled a follow up appointment because I wasn't able to feel the strings for the past 3-4 days. Appointment was today. Turns out the IUD was partially expelled, but I don't know how long it had been expelled for. I don't recommend this at all."


"I had head to toe hives for the last 3-4 years.  Antihistamines did nothing.  After my first shot of Xolair, the hives went away for about 3 months.  Then after the 4th shot, they came back and stayed with me for another 3 months.  I just had my ninth shot and I've been hive free for 3 months.  I've put on weight that I can't explain and I'm having more foods give me gas.  These are not good side effects but better than the constant itching."


"I had paraguard put in - super painful but that's a given. After 3 months I went in to have the strings checked like I was advised, no problem there. 3 months after that (so 6 months after insertion) I went in for my annual gyno check up, during the routine preventative ultrasound I found out I was 1 week pregnant. I asked if I had done anything wrong, how could it have failed?! And she just shrugged and said it was 99.4% effective and I just won the lottery. She removed the IUD and advised me on the complications and asked me to rest, think and come back in one week. I did not stop bleeding the entire week. I ended up (spontaneously) aborting - which caused me serious psychological trauma and created barriers in my catholic family and community."


"I stayed on this medicine for about 3 months. I started on 5mg and worked to 10mg. I loved the way I feel on it but I cannot deal with the nausea it causes. Usually about 15 minutes after taking it the nausea sets in for about an hour to 2 hours. Some issues with decreased libido but other than that I had no other side affects. I finally ask my doctor to switch me to a different medicine due to the upset stomach."


"I am on a 24 week regimen and into my 12th week.  Some increased fatigue, way too much gas, increased appetite, and some insomnia are my current side affects.  These  are nothing compared to Interferon/Ribraviron.   My only disappointment is my doc told me that my fatigue might not improve due to the fact that I have cirrhosis, but my bloodwork (low platelets, liver enzymes and viral count) is all normal.  She told me that some of the fog associated with Hep C will be gone.  I am very happy with the medication and course of treatment."


"I've been on it for about 4 months now. At first, my breast were so swollen, went from a 34 b to a 34c. I haven't noticed excessive weight gain, but I have been watching what I eat and working out frequently so I guess I can't really touch on that. It curbed my appetite a little - lot less snacking and craving. After a few months, my breast didn't hurt anymore and I am in-between and B and a C (yay!) My finger nails used to be so brittle, noticed that they become very strong on Sprintec! Hope you guys find the right meds for you! But I approve very much of Sprintec."


"Since switching to Bystolic from atenolol I have experienced my arms falling asleep at night and light headedness. Coreg CR made me cloudy in thinking, felt like a rubber band was around my chest, and I didn't feel as calm as when I was taking atenolol. I switched from atenolol to Coreg CR so I could overcome the wall I would hit while pushing cardio-excercise to the limit. I felt great everyday all day long on atenolol."


"I started taking Flomax about 1-1/2 years ago after getting up 4 to 5 times per night to go to the bathroom. The results were fantastic. Unfortunately I am finding the effects of taking one 0.4mg pill once per day waning. May have to consider doubling dosage."


"I was devastated to hear the news but also relieved because I was having crazy eye issues and other weird things going on like warts and such. My cd4 as 224 and my VL was 250k per ML.. a bit high but not 1mill per ML like that other poster! . Anyway 2 mo with this RX and my CD is 380 and VL 38 perML... im almost there. Gilead copay (go to their site) made this RX free with my insurance."


"This stuff works just as well as vicodin and the rest of its family without the loopiness. It gives the extra edge you need to feel better not sedated."


"The first few days I was on this medicine I felt I'll and sick and I thought it was the medication so I discontinued using come to find out I was coming down with the flu. So once I was over being sick I decided to give it one more try. I am so glad I did. Since restarting I have had no side effects what so ever. I have just started the full dosage and have lost a total of 15 lbs. so far. The only changes I have made is drinking water instead of sweet tea at supper. I live in a bad neighbourhood so I am going to buy me a treadmill so I can walk daily. The scale down program that comes with this is a huge help. I can see from day to day how my eating effects my weight. I would definitely recommend this medication to anyone."


"After being on Suboxone for 7yrs, Clonodine was truly what helped me get off. I was at 1-1.5mg for a year and pretty comfortably tapered down to.25mg every other day before jumping 10 days ago. I've taken .1mg at night and spread .05mg through the day if feeling any mild WD. My only real problem at times was some trouble sleeping days 2-5 and low energy towards the end of the work day, but dragging myself to the gym went a longgg way.  I'm prescribed and take Adderall so I can't say for sure how much it's helped as well, but been super motivated nonetheless to the point of getting new job interviews DURING my first 10 days. Don't let the terror stories online scare you. Taper appropriately and stay active and things will be OK"


"With 4 days of therapy of 2400 mg a day I can totally feel the difference,  my muscles are not sore and swollen, I feel like a different person ! This is amazing! I am very happy because I think that I can make it through the day without narcotics ! Iif this continues to work , I will able to stop going to the pain clinic and do more activities that I have only dreamed about ."


"I have been on Tamoxefin for 40 days...  Here's my story:  I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer (98% estrogen fed) in Alr 2015.  I did not need chemo or radiation.  I was told after surgery (June 2015) that I had to take "Tomy" for 5 years. I fought the idea, but eventually decided to give it a try.  So far, the main complaint I have is fatigue.  I take it at night and that's helps...  Some joint pain, vaginal discharge (clear mostly) and the BEST thing about Tommy is that it has calms me down.  I am about 30% of the energized person I was before.  I no longer get feel like I need to solve the worlds problems in a day!  So, I can honesty say, that's a big plus! ...   WEIGHT CHANGES:  I became Vegan and did not loose any weight! :(("


"great at eliminating allergies, but also eliminates sleep.  I  haven't slept in 4 nights and after googling, now I see why!  not worth it."


"Used after cataract surgery.  Worked just fine for me, twice and no side effects either time."


"I've been on Prozac for just about 3 months. At first I did not notice a difference for about a month then I started feeling more energized for a few weeks however the weight is going on as fast as grass grows.
I'm seeing my doctor today and need to switch. I've even been working out, walking and have been more active. The weight gain is awful, at least for me."


"Suboxone for opioid dependency has worked well for me!  I do not crave any narcotics anymore and my drug-seeking days are over!  The only thing I hate about it is the awful taste and it takes forever to melt but other than that, it is great"


"I take 1.5 mg 3 times daily for fibromyalgia. It is the ONLY muscle relaxant that works for me. I have a new Doctor who refuses to prescribe this dose...says it is too much for a woman of my size and age."


"Being 3 months pregnant I had a list of what I could take for constipation and since I haven't gone in 5 days I finally went to target and got Phillips milk of magnesia (cramp free) and about an hour 1/2 I had to go really bad I was on toilet for about 30 mins. Instant relief right away I even stopped having a headache! So definitely effective!"


"Been on Jardiance 25mg for 10 months. I’ve lost 35 pounds, A1C dropped from 7.8 to 6.2.  I don’t feel I urinate excessively and sometimes get up once a night to go to the bathroom.  I’m beginning to get low blood sugars during the day so may have to cut back on other diabetic meds I’m taking.  I’ve had one UTI which I had no symptoms with, just caught it in a routine urine test.  I feel tired a lot, not sure it’s related to this med. also, I’ve lost a ton of hair. My hair is so thin now I can’t believe it.  Anyone else suffer hair loss since taking this med?  It’s done wonders for my diabetes and weight loss, would hate to have to stop taking it."


"This was my first time on any birth control and I did not have a good experience. This birth control made me nauseous, gave me headaches, caused me to gain weight, gave me HORRIBLE break outs, and even made me sick. I took this for less than a week, I will never recommend this to somebody. I was put on this by my doctor so I hadn't had a chance to look it up before I got on it. This is not a thing I will take again or give another chance. I suggest trying something different."


"All statins gave me severe flu-like symptoms of muscle aches, fatigue, etc. After two months using only repatha, my overall cholesterol was reduced from 248 to 82, tri-glycerides from 276 to 107 and LDL from 166 to 30 with no side effects"


"Growing up my periods were always irregular. First, they came randomly throughout the year and lasted about 7 days w/ minimal cramps. I'd probably have 3 cycles a year. Then I experienced the polar opposite. I would have a period 3 months at a time then stop the rest of the year. Things worsened and 3 months became 6, so I reached out to a doctor and they suggested this.

Now, my periods are regular, light, short (4-5 days), no cramps, but I will still get this one bump under my chin (I've experienced this same bump before microgestin). This isn't a problem. It typically goes away and my skin is back to normal until next month. I've noticed that I get food cravings now. All in all, I've had a good experience. No nausea, pain, or bad acne."


"Forxiga has help with diabeties , weight loss.

Only downfall is that I am suffering with thrush nearly all the time now."


"This stuff is so good! Wow- at first, my face was so dry, red, itchy and burning that I could hardly wash it and spent days inside with ice and aloe Vera on my face. But when I pulled through, all the tiny under the skin spots had completely disappeared making a flawless complexion! Now I just use a tiny bit on my clear skin once every two days where I break out and get redness as I am extremely acne prone. Don't give up! It's so worth it when you get the results!"


"I was on Yaz for 5 months. I'm normally a really upbeat happy person. It turned me into an absolute monster. Very angry, all the time. I noticed it about two weeks after taking it.  The only good thing about it was that I experienced no hair loss, no weight gain. "


"Have had migraines for years ave 8 - 14/mth.  Received 3 vials of Botox 3 weeks ago in forehead, temples, base of skull, neck, trapezius, paraspinal muscles.  My head was fine.  The first week, my neck and back muscles were so sore, they hurt to the touch.  It was as if the muscles not paralyzed were competing for the jobs of those that were.  I have never felt such pain.  Each morning, different muscles would be in pain.  The diffuse, large muscle pain has improved somewhat now 3 weeks out, but my neck muscles feel as if they cannot support my head.  It causes me severe pain to bend forward to read, eat, try to pick things up.  I am going to try PT this week.  Also have had 7 migraines in 3 weeks since treatments.  Very sad patient here!"


"it works very well, it's a good friend. I have 55 attempted suicides, 3 times in one month & came very close to death , sober for 45 days so far good results"


"I escaped seasonal allergies for most of my life, but upon moving from an East Coast metropolis (no seasonal allergies ever) to the Central Valley in California, I've gone through Allegra, Zyrtec, Benedryl, and Claritin, and am currently on a daily dose of Xyzal and Fluticasone Propionate. However, occasionally my allergies are so severe (precipitated in California by the serious wildfires, here in Arizona during dust storms) that my lungs in effect, shut down and constrict.  For those rare occasions, I use the Ventolin (used five times since March 2015) which helps my lungs relax and the "tight" feeling in my chest subsides.  Downside: racing heartbeat occurs for about 5-10 minutes after dosage. Benefits far outweigh the risk/side-effects."


"After becoming a diabetic, I was initially put on Januvia, but it failed to control my sugar levels. I was switched to Janumet and have been taking 50/500mg of Janumet (50mg - Januvia, 500mg - Metformin) for over a year. It's just like Januvia, and doesn't work well for me since my sugar levels can reach 140  after meals. I am not overweight and I exercise regularly. My doctor raised my dosage to 50/1000mg, but side effects forced me back to the lower dosage. The higher Metformin caused my body to ache and I felt weak during workouts. I recommend using Janumet but watch your sugar levels closely to make sure it brings your sugar levels to your desired level. I gained 5 pounds this summer and my sugar went up 30 points."


"I get constipation quite often as I am unable to do much exercise due to hip pain. I've taken Dulcolax about 4 times in my lifetime and they have always worked, I would never advise taking 2 pills though, you get a big response, only take 2 if you're incredibly constipated (1  weeks of constipation), yes you will get side effects but they're bearable."


"Best medicine I ever took for back pain."


"At the age of 29, I've developed anxiety and it's gotten progressively worse, with me ending up in the ER for what I thought was a panic attack. After evaluating me, the doctor confirmed I'd had a panic attack and had the nurse give me an Ativan. I came to to the ER in tears, unable to control my breathing, feeling suffocated, body tingling, nauseous, face numb, the whole 9 yards. After taking the Ativan, I was feeling completely back to normal within 15 minutes, I could not believe it! They gave me a short prescription for it until I can follow up with my health care provider and it really is such a miracle drug that really calms the anxiety, allows you to think clearly, and feel relaxed."


"ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! I was hospitalized for a SEVERE migraine that has lasted a whole month now! Sooo irritable, sharp ovary pain, so much blood, don't waste your time! Disgusting excuse for birth control! DISGUSTING!"


"The taste was terrible. I had 14 to take. I did have a few side effects, my infection has clear up a lot."


"I am 19 years old, 5'3. The very first time I took this was back in  January of this year. Took the 30mg. My start weight was 180lbs, that's the highest I've ever been. I took it almost everyday, worked out regularly, but I didn't eat so well. Somehow I managed to go down to 170lbs by the time I finished the 30 pills in the bottle. I took it in the month of March and went down to 165lbs and then I stopped taking it for a while. I just went back on it, doing the 37.5mg now. Start date 07/22/14 weighing in at 165lbs and today I am 161lbs."


"I've been using Maprotiline for ten years. I think it's the best antidepressant out there but since it's not new it's not being prescribed."


"I found it taste nice and lemonoy but struggled with excessive sweetness. Felt  of could be sick but managed to keep it down and working nicely through my system."


"I've lost weight and feel better"


"I had the Mirena inserted about 6 weeks ago.  It was quite painful, I cursed very loudly and then broke out in a sweat, but after about 10 mins I was ready to leave.  I had cramping for about 3 days afterwards but nothing major.  My first period afterwards lasted for like 10 days and I had the worse migraine EVER.  The only other thing I have noticed is I have a small belly now, oh and I was so HORMONAL for the first couple of weeks.

Since then, everything has been good, I think you need to let you body get used to it and then all the symptoms fade.  If the belly persists, that may be annoying, but I think it's already better."


"This pill was prescribed to me because I get menstrual migraines. While it has worked for that & kept my skin clear from the cystic pimples I would occasionally get, it has raised my blood pressure & made me gain at least 15 pounds now over 3 years. & still gaining. When will it stop? Obviously not until I stop taking it. I don't eat any more than I ever have, appetite feels the same yet this weight is somewhere on me. I am very unhappy with it. I feel bloated constantly & no matter how much I work out or how much water I drink I cannot lose any weight. Seriously considering ditching this medication & just dealing with the migraines another way. If you have started this med & are gaining weight caution-if will not stop."


"I went on nexplanon after experiencing depression and crying spells while on numerous birth control pills. I was happy that nexplanon is very convenient because you don't need to remember to take it each day like the pills. However, I have a history of cystic acne and went on accutane several years ago. Around the second month of being on nexplanon, I was breaking out on my shoulders and neck (which are areas that I haven't broken out in for years). I also had a lot more breakouts on my face. I noticed that my skin was much more oily as well. I would not recommend this to anyone who has struggled with acne in the past or is currently struggling with it."


"I've been taking 10mg dose for about seven months. What I noticed initially is that my sense of smell and hearing seemed sharper (weird). Also, no longer entertaining thoughts of suicide. I took Zoloft for almost two years about ten years ago and I like Brintellix better. I did have nausea and constipation at first. Now, I still have some weepy times and times when I just feel like giving up (I am a widow of three years), but I also have times of joy and happiness. Mostly, I feel content. I have a sense of humor again. Sometimes I forget to take the medicine for two to three days and I feel my mood deteriorating, but I don't feel the weird physical effects that I had if I forgot even one dose of the Zoloft."


"This has been the best medication for my glaucoma.  Stings a little, but has controlled my pressures.  I have not been able to use any of the drops such a Alphagan, Xalatan, etc. as I have an adverse reaction, i.e. migraine, drying and scratchy eye, very sensitive to light, etc."


"Scalp soreness and itching ( i am very thin on top ) Solaraze worked very very well for me."


"This product didn't work for me.  The risks did not outweigh the side effects.  I used it after my colonoscopy and had to use other pain medicines as well."


"My 5 year old son has severe ADHD and started on this patch 4 months ago. Although it really does what it says, it leaves him with severe rashes, and muscle tenderness. I am looking into alternatives now."


"I am just over halfway through my 3 month Adipex regimen and am feeling great. For anyone struggling with weight loss, I highly recommend asking your doctor about Adipex. My physician was very quick to prescribe it as soon as I asked about it, as he could tell I did my research. I am 5'5, 25 y/o, and started at 193.5lbs.

The biggest pro about this medication is that it almost completely rid me of my uncontrollable cravings (I don't even think about chocolate anymore). With that out of the way, I am now able to more easily make healthy changes to my lifestyle. I have started eating more vegan-like and making being active part of my daily life. So far I am down 19.7 pounds. I feel like myself again!"


"People bad talk this stuff but it has helped me immensely with attention span, focus, socializing, depression, and my executive function overall. Helped almost immediately for me. Very few side effects. Good stuff"


"Overall I have had a pretty good, kindoff mixed experience with Lo Loestrin. The side effects weren't too extreme. Like others said, I've had random spotting here and there that gets annoying, I have definitely noticed breast tenderness and swelling (I've always had bigger breasts, lost some weight last year and was finally down to a smaller cup, only to now be back to a somewhat bigger size). I've  been a little more on the emotional side but nothing overly noticeable or crazy. Haven't lost my sex drive but sometimes experience vaginal dryness which had never been a problem in the past. The biggest pro is a SUPER light period which is amazing and the #1 reason I've stayed on it. Don't let bad reviews scare you away, try it out for yourself"


"Pain disappeared within 12 hours of use."


"The delivery of this product is so problematic that patients waste doses before they figure it out. "


"So.. I have had skyla now for a year and by far one of the most disappointed BC I've had. I have had the pill, depot, para guard, and now this... It was painful for me when I had gotten it placed and cramped for days. They told me my period would get lighter and eventually go away... I've never taken so many pregnancy test in my life! And I have 2 children!! I never gotten cramp really bad before but with this I get cramps at least 2 weeks before my period when it decides to come on time... I've gotten it up to 2 weeks late on this stupid thing. And at one point I do believe I was pregnant and ended up miscarrying before getting into the Dr. Office to confirm. I give it another month of this horrible cramping!!"


"I noticed a lot of people on here giving up after only a week or so.I have been on Celebrex for years and at different times I would stop for a week or 2 immediately I would start going downhill. Celebrex needs to build up in your system the more time you take it the more it helps.Should give it at least a month.I was on heavy pain meds for years now all I take is Celebrex I have severe neck and back problems and severe arthritis.Celebrex is a miracle drug for me without the side effects of heavy pian meds.Thank you for Celebrex it has changed my life"


"I started taking Cymbalta a year ago. Side effects - nausea and pain in stomach. This was with 30mg. Doctor recommended 60mg. It really worked but after about 4 months I just could not afford it so my doctor prescribed Celexa. I used that for several months. I noticed that my usual mild lower back pain returned. (I suffered no withdrawal symptoms). I got back on Cymbalta 2 months ago.  "


"It's has worked well for curbing my appetite. I started on 10mg and I'm now on 40mg. I noticed after two or so weeks the effects stop working though.

I have ADHD as well and it's a wonder drug for that side of things. I'd highly recommend trying it. I love how long the effects last!!

P.s. it increased my libido"


"This medicine has given nothing but trouble. Headache, Feeling sick and worse of all I now have a very itchy rash all over my body which is driving me round the bend."


"The only drug that has been effective in treating my anxiety that isn't a benzo (Klonopin Xanex etc) has been Paxil CR, which reaches full efficacy within a week. Problem with the benzos that is it only lasts for a few months before I start going even more nuts than before, and the withdrawal makes me borderline suicidal. I told my primary I wanted to try something new and she prescribed the lexapro. After one week on 5mg anxiety symptoms are reduced greatly and I'm willing to try 10mg to see if they are eliminated completely but will wait out the full efficacy period before asking. No side effects (huge improvement over Paxil jitters) besides reduced libido (which I'm ok with)."


"Sick sick with flu, tamiflu added to illness, nausea & vomiting, don't know if made flu last shorter, made me too nauseous to know, just ride out the virus, plan on being sick for a week, don't burden your body with meds that may make you sick"


"I have signed up to this website just so I could share my experience and hope that it will help others.

If you are reading this and suffer badly from public speaking like I did (trembling, stuttering quivering mess) and have never used this medication it will be difficult for you to believe that it will actually work for you. I was skeptical as well.

I remember being in the bathroom before my speech (300 ppl) taking the Propranolol and praying that it will work!

I spoke clearly and even enjoyed the experience! It’s unbelievable, I could have spoken for hours I was that confident. It was the confident me I always knew I could be.

My life has changed. Yours will too.

I took one does of 40mg (give it at least 1 hour to kick in)"


"I was having horrible headaches. It took me a week to figure it out but it appears that peanuts are have a negative reaction to these meds. It took a day of not eating peanuts now headaches are long gone."


"My Mother was diagnosed 2 months ago with stage 4 lung cancer that has already spread to her brain. I smoked for 25 years and quit using Chantix. If you truly love your children, you will quit too."


"Due to menopausal hot flashes, I was unable to sleep more than 30 to 90 minutes per night.  20 mg before bedtime helps me sleep through the night and calms my agitation due to menopause."


"The drug works very well.  What they don't tell you, though, is that it burns like a steroid each time, every time.  So go into it forewarned as it's not anywhere in any literature and it's not something your physician will likely tell you beforehand."


"Maxalt has worked wonders for me! I've suffered from migraines for several years now and Maxalt has been the only thing that can stop them. When I feel a migraine coming on I take one of the 10 mg dissolvable tablets and it soon disappears. Occasionally I do end up with a full-blown migraine (because I'm forgetful and don't always have Maxalt on me) and taking two doses helps it go away much more quickly than it would otherwise. Miracle!"


"I have been using Epiduo every night for 3 weeks now and I can honestly say it has done wonders! I had terrible breakouts on my forehead and jaw line but this product has taken care of it and all I have now are red marks that will hopefully go away soon! There was a point where I broke out more but it seemed to be from my foundation so I would still recommend this!"


"At first it worked okay then my acne was worse than when I started and it even burnt to apply the Epiduo causing great pain, it is not right for everyone."


"I am 14 and I am beginning year 10. over summer break I decided from years of acne and expensive spot products I wanted to make a change to my confidence by taking accutane I'm only just finishing the 1st month of the drug and I was expecting fast working treatment but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work in the first few weeks because mine didn't. I get painful spots across my chin and on my back and chest, and I wouldn't go out the house without a face full of foundation or a top that covers my chest and back. Since I have been taking the drug I have noticed the redness on my chin has calmed down. And the spots on my back are practically gone! I hope this helps :)"


"I just got mine today so am only commenting on that part of the experience. I read so many stories online I was a bit confused on how what kind of pain I would actually experience.  I kept reading WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE WORSE kind of stuff... So i guess the pain I was expecting was like a knife cutting type of pain, it's not at all. If you can handle a period you can handle this.. its just a period cramp for less than ten seconds and done. NBD. TRY IT!"


"I am on week 3 of Harvoni and haven't really experienced any side effects apart from fatigue. Sort of like a cell phone running out of battery or charge. I have just gotten a cold and took some Nyquil I bought in the states. My husband thinks it should be okay but I will check with my doctor tomorrow. It is Sunday here and I am in Australia by the way. My 18 year old daughter was tested last week and she is negative. Thank goodness for that! I found out I was Hep C positive after I gave birth to her, assume I got from some very bad choices I made as a teenager in the Carolina's. Hopefully after this treatment it will be gone. Harvoni was put on the PBS on March 1st which is why I decided to start treatment."


"Side effects,  refux, heartburn,  rapid weight gain, dizziness,  generalised osteoarthritis pain, restless legs and leg pain, insomnia,  urinary tract infection,  blurred vision,  tiredness,  silent migraine,  nausea,  heavy legs and body after taking in evening,  aspiration of stomach contents, reflux while asleep scary... Lots of side effects,  going to GP to have change of meds,  feel terrible with all these side effects.. Blood pressure lowered as a result on a positive note..."


"I've had Mirena for a little over a year and absolutely love it. I'm in my early 20s and was hesitant to start other forms of birth control because it is hard for me to remember to take pills and I was worried about the weight gain. I've had no weight gain on Mirena and no extremely noticeable side effects. It was slightly painful to get inserted and I bled lightly for a few months afterwards but once that stopped it's been great. I tend to have spotting or a light period for one or two days every couple months but that's it.  It's great and so convenient."


"Just want to say I've been taking Ultracet for about 8 years now. I have 3 herniated discs in my back. If it wasn't for Ultracet, I don't know what I would have done.  It helps me to get up and do my daily routine.  It helps me when I want to workout. It helps me cope with the everyday pain. I recommend Ultracet to anyone with pain.  Remember though - it's not meant for everyone.  Different people react differently to medications. So, ask your doctor if you can try it and see if it works for you. Good luck."


"Only thing that works.  Getting hard to find in stores."


"I have sat here and read every comment on here and I agree with almost all of them. Suboxone is a WONDER DRUG!! I was addicted to any kind of painkiller that I could get my hands on, and I had to have it every single day just to get up out of the bed. This went on for almost 4 years and I have 2 children that I was NOT being the best mother to. When I left my children's father, who is also an addict I met the most amazing man who also had the same problem but had been on Suboxone for almost a year and got me into his doctor. I have been on it for almost 6 months and I am proud to say that I am back in college and a wonderful mother who loves to get up with my kids everyday! Anyone who has this problem, please try Suboxone, it works!!"


"So many of these reviews scared me immensely and caused a lot of anxiety leading up to my Skyla appointment. Take them with a grain of salt. This process was nothing like I expected, it was barely more than a PAP. I am 22 and was on the pill since 16. I'm fairly petite (5'3) and very active and athletic. My doctor prescribed me Valium and told me to take one pill along with four ibuprofen one hour before my appointment. Once I arrived he took me right in and the whole thing was done in literally one minute. I didn't even know he had finished the whole process - I felt pressure and discomfort, but NOTHING like the horror stories I had read. I had some mild cramps for about 5-6 hours after, and then totally normal like nothing happened."


"I make no tears.  If it were not for this insert, I would have been put on the disabled list over 10 years ago.  This medicine is safe and wonderful. I love it and thank God every day for it. If not for this medication, I would never be able to leave my house because without it my eyes hurt terribly"


"a great med helps me alot"


"This drug is making me pee constantly; its really intolerable. I checked my urine...indeed now positive for sugar. But this is the symptom most diabetics seek treatment for!"


"Excellent experience with Ativan. Have used it for flight anxiety and flew with a smile on my face.

Also used it for general panic disorder. Right when I feel a panic attack coming on I take 0.5mg- very small amount. It kills the panic attack in 15-20 minutes and I feel incredibly relaxed for hours. Only side effect was slight drowsiness but it was not bad at all- even useful if I was trying to go to bed. Highly recommend."


"I have been on this for 2 weeks now and no side effects thus far (except for possible bloating...can't really tell if it is related yet). I was previously on NuvaRing which gave me a yeast infection and on Ortho TriCyclen/Ortho TriCyclen Lo many years ago and experienced morning nausea and severe mood swings constantly. Thus, loving it so far!"


"I'm 23, male. I take 20 mg Celexa. I really see improvement with my everyday life. I'm less likely to snap out. Keeps me on edge but was thinking of raising the dose. I'm also taking ibuprofen."


"I start taking this medicine about 7 years ago. I used to have this very bad headaches and my Doctor kept giving me others medicines that never worked, at that time my husband had a prescription for Fiorinal to cure his tention headaches and one day when I was in a very bad shape, he suggested me to have one. After 1/2 hour I start felling the release. Since then I have my own prescription. It worked wonderful for me and my husband (we are both professionals and very busy at work)."


"Been using it for 3 years now and love it until recently for convenience and very easy periods. But it killed my sex drive from the second month using it (unless the ring comes out for a few days) and I have had a few yeast infections and almost constant discharge. Just a little weight gain (5-10 lbs) but larger breasts. Now I am noticing my hair thinning and hair loss (scalp) that has been progressively worsening over the last 2 years and now 5 months (I'm in my 20's) and I hear it can all be related to hormone birth control (it's also listed for the ring). The product is excellent but I may have to switch to a low-dose pill to see if these are side effects and if they wear off."


"Dulled the toothache after my root canal infection got fixed.  Did NOT take it completely away.  I couldn't eat either.  Made me too sleepy to drive and, possibly, grouchy (that could have been from the procedure too).  Easy to use."


"The first day taking the medication I experienced extreme stomach pain and loose stools. I ate dinner about an hour before and still experienced the side effects. The second day taking the medication I am still experiencing the extreme stomach pain accompanied with loose stools and back pain. I took this pill on a full stomach. On the bright side my tonsils are less inflamed."


"So it started a few months ago, thought it was a yeast infection so I decided to treat as such, about a week after I thought it was gone, symptoms flared back up. Went to the doc and she prescribed clindmyacin cream for 7 days. Didn't work, went back a few weeks later and she gave me the same thing. Didn't work. That was about a month ago, and my symptoms come and go. Any advice?"


"I have been on the pill for two years. I must admit that things did start off a little rocky with the nausea, but it did begin to get better because I started taking the pill before bed. It has prevented pregnancy, helped me keep clear skin, and lightened my periods and lessen my cramps. Besides the nausea the pill is very effective and a good choice."


"Hi I was want to share my experience with you ladies. I don't pretend to scare anybody but here's my experience with my Plan B ,I had unprotected sex with my bf back in July. The next day first thing in the morning I took plan B. Two weeks later I found out I was pregnant. It's very rarely to get pregnant after plan B but it does happens. Good luck to you guys."


"I have been on tramadol for many years for fibromyalgia back pain. I take six  50mg a day. It does in fact help. It makes it bearable most of the time. However when its at its worst, the medicine doesn't faze it. I would recommend a second prescription of something much stronger for occasional pain (maybe 10 a month if that). Doctors and lawmakers need to realize that people with pain that will never get better and will progressively get worse, need relief. Unfortunately that is going to involve addictive medication. But their addiction isn't the high. It's the addiction to function and to live a productive life. We crave these medications because we know without them our quality of life is very low."


"I used to take lunesta and it worked fine but I went back to ambien. Then I stopped both and my insomnia is back a year later. Personal issues. I decided to try lunesta because ambien would make me so tired I couldn't wake up in the morning. With lunesta I can wake up before my alarm clock. That's exactly what I needed. I haven't tried taking it for more than 2 months. Hopefully the effect doesn't wear off. If so I'll have to just go back to Benadryl."


"Seasonal Affective Disorder really hit me hard once I turned 20. I spent 2 winters completely and utterly miserable. I was extremely lethargic, depressed, gaining weight from inactivity, and just all around hopeless. After the second winter going through that hell, I said no more. I began treatment for SAD in the fall, and it has already helped immensely (along with consistent therapy). I have more energy, much less depression and hopelessness, and have not gained any weight at all (which is a big deal for me this time of year). One thing I will say is that an interesting side effect for me has been apathy. I feel a bit numb to emotions. But not depressed - just not as emotional. It has been kind of nice actually."


"I have been on Cryselle for a year and 1 month and I love it. I used to get the worst acne on my chin but my face cleared up for the most part while on Cryselle.The first 1-2 weeks on it I was kind of nauseated and threw up once on the first week. I was irritable a bit the first 2 weeks. And my first period on it was painful. I started Cryselle because I had unpredictable painful periods  & it really has worked my periods are light and only last 3-4 days. Almost no cramping, sometimes none. Plus I know when I'm getting my period and I'm able to make sure I am not on my period on important an important events. Plus it has protected me from getting pregnant ever since i became sexually active. First month is tough, after that it's amazing!"


"I took it at the recommendation of a pharmacist specifically for chronic post-nasal drip.  I've taken a lot of things and I can tell you that it worked within 40 minutes..  I don't think I can take it forever, but I'm hoping that before the 7 days is out, this will be cleared up permanently."


"I have never had any side effects to the Mirapex but I have all of a sudden started having a gambling problem at the age of 47.  It is listed as a side effect and I wonder if it is the medicine contributing.  Requip has the same side effect listed.  I have to take it for my restless legs syndrome or I cannot sleep."


"Tried SSRI antidepressants for two years. No relief until took this medicine."


"Never use this shot it makes your discharge thick and white after it wears off. You don't have a period for 2 years and it throws off the pH causing BV and frequent yeast infections also get a lot of head aches and low sex drive"
