"I tried this drug as part of a clinical trial for my 9 year old son. On the second night of taking the medicine he woke up having an over 7 minute seizure and stopped breathing during one of the clusters. His seizures were lasting 1 to 2 minutes prior and he has never stopped breathing. I had to call 911 which I've never had to do before. It was very scary. We have dropped out of the trial. I'm disappointed I was hoping this would help us as well as others."


"I love this medication and it frustrates me that it is shunned upon so heavily by most doctors and mental health practitioners. Its true the withdrawals can be incredibly bad but if not abused, this medication is a god send for those with anxiety. I have strong mood issues and while I try to meditate / exercise / eat small regular meals / keep busy and be active etc. which helps most days, sometimes it just doesn't cut it when I'm having a extreme anxiety and just need to relax. I was prescribed 5mg for travel (panic attacks flying) but I cut that in 1/4 and just take 1.25mg occasionally here and there when I need it. That's all you need and I find it does the job amazingly."


"I took one, with no effect for an entire day. Took another, no effect after more than 8 hours. Was frustrated at this point and desperate for relief, so I took two. In a few hours I finally passed the rocky compacted stool, but then every other hour or so I woke up from severe cramps, stomach pain, nausea... Bad diarrhea all day and into the next night, cramps and pain continuing as well. I'm still suffering and just want it to stop... If I ever need a laxative again this will NOT be my medication of choice. It feels like having food poisoning, the flu, or severe menstrual cramps. Side effects aren't worth it."


"I started on 30mg 2x/daily. I had initial loose stools, but have gone back to constipation. I didn't get much relief from my tachycardia, and also noticed an increase in body twitches (not tremors). I'm now trying 60mg 2x/daily and I still have the increase in twitches and most notably, headaches (worse than the normal every day ones), and breathing issues (I already have asthma and laryngospams). Not sure any benefit is worth these side effects, but it's only been a couple of days, so I'll give it a little more time."


"This was a breath of fresh air -- it took a few days to get used to the application process.  However, in the end I am not lathering my body up, I'm not sticky and my hands are not contaminated with testosterone.  An all around win!!  No smell, not sticky and no hand contamination!!  A "


"Took brand Mircette for 2 months. Great for skin & body adjusted quickly to brand only. Had no immediate side effects but the manufacturer never made enough. Was forced to generic. Estrogen placebos did nothing to help menstrual migraine/estrogen withdrawls dibiltating headaches. It was actually worse on this pill. Many trips to ER. On brand I didn't have the daily headaches. Sex was ridiculously painful on both & 3rd month on brand was unbearably dry in my vagina. Took kariva & had the most dibiltating migraine/daily headaches ever. All dr's denied the correlation. Had break though bleeding/spotting tampon amounts for 3 months & then anemic. Demanded to be removed off this! Get rid of your gyno if she doesn't believe you."


"I started taking Stiolto Respimat in Jan. 2016.  For the first few months everything was great.  Then I started to have memory issues and confusion.  I know this contains an anticholinergic.  Two years ago I stopped taking medication for an over-active bladder that contained an anticholinergic because of the very same reason.  A few months later my memory was back to normal (normal for me!) and the confusion totally went away.  I was hoping that since this is an inhaler and not a pill that I might have better results.  Unfortunately no.    After four months the confusion and forgetfulness became a real problem.  I decided to stop the inhaler this morning and will ask my doctor for an alternative - without an anticholinergic."


"My doctor prescribed me Xanax after I got fired from my job for verbally assaulting a colleague. I also suffer from schizoaffective disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. Today, I felt like having a rage filled outburst at someone I do volunteer work with. I took a Xanax and within 30 minutes, I was happy and chatty and relaxed."


"I've been on this for years, after experimenting with ones that made me: fat; bloated; emotional; nuts. I love it, no acne, no weight gain, no period... I'll take it!"


"Am 75 and taking blood pressure and atrial fibrillation medication. Have had erectile dysfunction for some years.  Tried free sample of Cialis 5mg daily for one week. Experienced erections most days, and ejaculation three times, but other times erection weakened quite quickly.  Will raise dose to 10mg and see if there's improvement."


"I stop taking this BC on the 3rd week. 2nd day on this BC, I started feeling uncomfortable down there. Went back and forth to the Dr during that three week period. The Dr. said everything was perfectly fine and that I should continue taking the BC. I continued to complained about the symptoms I was having. Lack of sleep, itching, crying for no reason. It was horrible. Dr. Kept suggesting to keep taking this birth control. I was told I wouldn't experience symptoms until 3 months into a pack. That was Definitely a lie. Since all test had check out that I was perfectly fine, I decided to stop taking the BC even though my Dr wanted me to continue. I been off the pill for 3 days and I'm feeling much better. I don't recommend this at all!!!!"


"I was never one to have severe acne, just a few small bumps here and there with a few big pimples that come every so often.However, they scarred very easily and left huge dark spots that were like 5x the size of little whitehead. I went to my doctor to get rid of these dark spots that everyone was noticing. She prescribed benzaclin and I saw results! She recommended I cleanse my face with an Aveeno product, as it is gentle on skin, and it is amazing! At night I wash my face with Aveeno Positively Radiant cleanser and then apply benzaclin (mainly focussing on the area with the dark spots). In the morning I use Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer and these dark spots fade very quickly and it prevents further pimples. My face glows now!"


"After 3 years on naprosyn 500 one a day I started to get irritable anxious finding fault all the time about stupid things. As soon as I stopped I was normal again .  I don't know what tablet to take now as I am very sensitive to a lot of drugs."


"I've been taking quetiapine 75mg at night due to my severe post natal depression and anxiety. I've been taking quetiapine for 6 months now and it has been an amazing medication for me to help me sleep. I've suffered terrible panic and insomnia and now I can finally get some rest."


"I have had no prior birth control for 10 years. I have 3 kids. Done. Asked my doc for advice on a permanent solution. He gave me liletta. I've been bleeding ever since. 8 weeks now. That's right 56 days in a row of 6-8 saturated tampons!! This is the worse decision I could have ever made. Best birth control. Who wants to have sex while they are bleeding profusely??!! Clearly, not what I was wanting. I'd rather risk another pregnancy than keep bleeding like this. Postpartum was 4 weeks of bleeding/spotting, at worse. My periods were 30-35 days in between. Now it's a freaking blood bath of 50+ days straight. I'm done. This thing in coming out tomorrow."


"I absolutely love this medicine. It works better than codeine for my cough, which I've had over a week. After 2 doses I was finally able to sleep and woke up completely recovered. My chest feels lighter!!"


"This has changed my life. When I feel chest pressure or squeezing and or shortness of breath I put a .4 under my tongue and viola, all is well.  I highly recommend this medicine."


"Excellent I don't hear voices. I feel normal."


"I've written my experience before but I can feel like I can still help. This works. And to be honest this is risky, but DO NOT stress about it. Stress can make you feel all sorts of physical symptoms, some even similar to pregnancy. That will make you feel like the pill didn't work and you'll go crazy. Don't search for things on the internet. Because you aren't the person who's experience you're reading (except this, this helps!). Don't go on healthline.com or mayo clinic or anything. I took this and my period came a week early, 2 weeks after I took the pill. That is my new start date. and I now experience ovulation symptoms and my period is a little lighter! So worth it to know this WORKS."


"Ive been taking this med for about a month now. The only side effects that have really happened is light upset stomach and restless feelings during the day. I feel like I always need to be moving. Its not bad given some of the side effects ive experienced from other drugs this has to be the least problematic so far. My mood has become much better and the depression I started out with is gone. Although I have not had a manic phase yet I can't say how its treating those its only been a month. I would recommend this for bi polar probably combined with another medication to help with the restlessness and hard time sleeping."


"Gave me cystic acne and it was so frustrating because it is suppose to help with acne. I usually get one or 2 regular white heads that go away in like 2 days but this one gave me horrible acne that wouldn't completly heal in like 2 weeks. If you want something that help if you're having this problem go on the patch (Xulane) it made my skin so nice and my boobs grew a full cup size lol! :) no lie"


"Flomax works great and quickly too, but it sure makes me feel bad.  I find myself skipping days and those days I feel much better.  When I take it I feel tired, slow, and light-headed...like I'm in a bit of a fog.  I also notice that my vision is very much blurred when I take this drug.  It takes hours after waking for my vision to be somewhat clearer.  I'm supposed to take it twice a day, but once a day is more than sufficient.  There doesn't seem to be a lower dosage in a capsule, so I open them and dump some of it out.  It's pretty inexpensive so that's not a problem."


"This works!  I took a break, but am taking it again.  I am a 38 yr old female and started at 222 lbs and am 5'7 size 16.  In 6 month time I had lost 32 lbs size 12.  It calmed my cravings, I even stopped drinking wine.  I stopped taking for 4 months gained 10 lbs back...I've been back on it for about 2 weeks and have lost 5 to 6 lbs ....the weight gain was my own fault and I stopped taking this over the holidays."


"Ive been taking this shot since April 2016 and i swear i started bleeding June 4 and i havent stopped. I have jabbing pain all the time.  I never know when Im going to need a pad. I may go half the day without any bleeding and then then go to the bathroom and bam blood. I recommend not getting this thing it is absolutely awful :("


"I've never bled so badly on a pill before. On my old generic, it was a normal amount.   Now I've developed problems with anemia.

My anxiety is worse.

I've had an increase in paranoid feelings.

I'm broken out like a teenager! I'm off this pill asap."


"I've been on Nucynta for just over a year.  I started with the typical meds for back pain Vicodin, Percocet, morphine, etc.  Unfortunately I seem to either have massive bad reactions or they don't work, no in between.  Because of this my pain wasn't controlled and it was having a toll on me physically and emotionally.  Nucynta has allowed me to rebuild my life and body.  I had some side effects at first but my doctor started on low doses and slowly built up the dose to where it got my pain to a tolerable level.  I found that the regular Nucynta caused to much of an up and down in pain levels but the ER took care of that. Like everything it is an individual reaction."


"The first night I used it, it burned so bad I couldn't even sleep/ I was in tears & I tried to wash it out in a bath and to no avail, I was completely red faced miserable/crying/ could barely walk with such intense burning.
But by the second day, it was almost all cleared up!!! Just mild itching! SO STICK WITH IT FOR THE FULL 7 DAYS!!!! By day two I had almost 0 discharge (mostly just the cream coming back out) I'm on night 3 now, and penetration of the application tube doesn't hurt anymore but I still have mild itching:( hopefully by day 7 I'll be good to go!!"


"I have been on this a couple of months as directed by my surgeon ( one 5mg a day) and I am still soaking all my clothes, mainly back, buttocks, thighs,  torso, and underarms.  I even have to wear disposable incontinence panties - as the sweat just pours into regular ones and leaves wet marks on seats if I don't.  (I am 40 - so it's not a big deal for me to wear them)

I had the surgery (2008) for cranial, facial sweating, and it was marvellous.  Now in 2015 - my head and face are still sweat free - while the compensatory sweating is out of control. I drink many litres of water a day, but with the amount of sweat I produce, I have to keep drinking or my throat and mouth get so dry that food sticks in it.

Waiting word for surgery number two"


"week 1 shot low dose- GERD kicked in, not really hungry
week 2 shot, GERD worse, burping sulfur all day, still not hungry, nausea, tired all the time
week 3 shot maintenance dose- GERD all time horrible, sulfur burps, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pains, tired all the time, food is revolting
week 4 shot - wish I was dead. All the above now at the extreme -  plus now I'm vomiting, missed work because of it. I will not take it again. Will stick with metformin and start cinnamon again."


"I was prescribed this medication following a motor cycles accident (R.Leg broken 4 places/L.Wrist fractures both sides of joint/Broken Pelvis/Fractured Vertebrae). I currently take 70mg twice a day and it helped with the pain. At 80mg I found everything a bit distant. So I end up taking the 70mg twice a day and wow how it helps is great.  Whilst I am still in pain, I can function these day. I go to work full time (Computer operator). Good medication, well worth taking."


"Today is day 9 on Contrave. On day 1 I felt a reduction of my carb cravings and have been able to make better choices food-wise 99% of the time since then. I am after knee surgery so am unable to do any exercise but began 177.8 and today I was 173: a 4.8 pound loss in just over a week -- pretty amazing.

IMPORTANT: Contrave blocks ALL narcotics: no pain-killer or muscle relaxant CAN work -- valium, morphine, delaudid  etc. This was a scary side-effect when I wound up in the emergency room, so just be aware. I was on day 2 when that happened and had to stop and start again post-surgery/pain killers.

Slight nausea after pill 2 yesterday (day 8), otherwise really vivid dreams, a bit of sleep disturbance but no other side effects."


"I was on this medication for over 14 weeks and it made me into an unemotional zombie. My grandma literally passed away in front of me and I couldnt even shed a tear. It helped get me moving around more but, it wasnt really helping my depression. I wasnt happy at all and my anhedonia still persisted. Also, on top of all that Prozac made me lose my libido/sex drive even after I stopped taking it over 6 weeks ago. Im scared my libido/sex drive is never going to come back. This is why I only rated this drug a 1."


"Celexa was a miracle for me. I was struggling with debilitating depression and anxiety, but after 6 weeks on Celexa, I feel almost myself again. It does take the full 6-8weeks to kick in, so make sure you give it at least a few months to get all the benefits."


"Lyrica is a great medicine. It is very expensive but highly effective for Anxiety and works totally differently to other medicines. Unlike SSRI's it gives me no sexual side effects and no feelings of apathy.

It's highly effective for anxiety. I take 300mg daily. At this dose I still have some anxiety but it is greatly reduced.

I have no serious side effects other than an increase in appetite which may lead to weight gain. Dizziness and feelings of being 'high' pass in a week.

I highly recommend giving Lyrica a go. Having your life back is worth the cost."


"I got my Liletta IUD inserted yesterday at PP and I expected it to be much worse than it was! The tech who inserted it was so friendly & made me feel comfortable and less awkward. She explained what she was doing every step of the way and the only pain I felt was some moderate cramping when she clamped my cervix. I had some cramps and felt really worn out yesterday but no spotting, & feel completely normal today! I took extra strength ibuprofen, the cramps were more an annoyance than anything else. Side note: I had sex today (with a condom) & it was definitely enjoyable on both ends, no weirdness w/strings- I honestly think it helped my cramps subside. I'll update this in a few months & let you all know how I feel after the hormones kick in!"


"Excellent. I don't know what I would do without it. I love it."


"I am 18. I have had the Implanon for about 2 months and I now find it disruptive to my sex life. At first everything was great until I started trying to have sexual intercourse with my boyfriend. Sex is now uncomfortable because of vaginal dryness, burning sex. The swelling came soon after. It is very embarrassing to have to explain to him even though he is very understanding. I'm am already thinking about switching over to the Depo."


"Increasing sciatica over 4 years; told by PT "don't climb hills". Aggravated w/ physical demands of moving to new place. More recent injury from a clumsy fall and subsequent hip surgery x2. Unclear where one starts/ends, etc but have classic sciatica now. Remedial ice, rest, stretching, gentle rebounding all help temporarily. Valium is hit/miss. Lorzone is a bullseye. MRI shows "typical lumbar changes" for 65 y/o with years of physical stressors compounded by unmindful posture in the name of "getting the job done".
I hope this pill is as good long term as short term. Just picked up new script for it after using up freebee from MD."


"My life has been very difficult to say the least. I was severely abused as a child, have borderline, a mood disorder, became an addict and alcoholic (clean now for 3.5 year), have insomnia and have issues with codependency and in general have an overactive and negative thinking pattern. Since 2005 I have been on and off numerous medicines and in therapy. I went on gabapentin a little over a month ago. It has controlled my anxiety wonderfully so far. I take 600 mg of Seroquel to sleep and Effexor at 150 mg for my depression. The Seroquel works wonders with sleep but the Effexor isn't too good. Gabapentin has allowed me to do things I could only dream about and is a wonderful addition to my regime of spirituality, exercise, AA and work. It calms me."


"I couldn't take Premarin for about 5 years when I needed to because of cancer. I had bad symptoms. You name it - as far as having a hard time while being in my "change" period, I had them all. When the doctor finally put me on Premarin and it took effect I could have jumped for joy. I was myself again. I loved being on it. All the symptoms went away. I was so thankful. I was on it for many years. I tried to cut back at times but all the bad feelings would come back. Last year my doctor took me off it. He told me to take Estrace. It would be better for me. I'm having a hard time. Estrace does not work and my symptoms are back with a furry. I'm trying to find a doctor that will give me Premarin. "


"Due to pregnancy I experienced constipation, no relief in 3 days. I took the Milk of Magnesia at 8:00 am (I work from home) and thought that by the time my husband was home from work all the effects would be over. I took 5 tsps (as I know from past experience most laxatives I need higher dosage for relief), and by 5:30pm when my husband was home still nothing. It wasn't until 10:00 pm that I was able to relieve myself. A full 14 hours later. I was very happy that I had no cramping, and a very easy Bowel Motion, but had I been away from my home I would've been much more upset with the time line. My advice for a first time user, keep close to home for a day until you know how fast it works for you."


"Xanax may have saved my life. In the early nineties I was a young man pursuing my ambitions career, cars and women. Whatever I have done / experienced led me to be violent in my reaction to assholes. Also mom raised me as she went through menopause and was volatile. I was dangerously aggressive in my early 30's. xnx worked with no side affects noticed, sleepiness at first, that's all.I sought xnx because it made me feel like I should, calm, thus able to focus. Did well all these years. I got laid off, Doc retired and I can't find a local doc to prescribe.  The system took it away, Clandestine alternatives are expensive, risking life, limb and employment,  Docs are ignorant sometimes."


"After years of suffering with GERD, I developed Barrett's esophagus.  Tums, Nexium, Prilosec - nothing worked for me.  Since I began taking Dexilant, I have had zero heartburn and zero reflux.  Best of all, my recent endoscopy shows incredible healing of the damage to my esophagus.  Dexilant has proven to be a miracle for me."


"I've started 50 mg 50 days ago, increased to 100 mg in 25 days ago, increased to 150 mg 10 days ago. It has had no effect except for side effect (weight increase and constipation). I don't understand because with Effexor I had a response. Thinking to go to Wellbutrin because of the no weight gain."


"This drug has been marked incredible in my book. I went from going  to the bathroom once every 1-2 WEEKS to once every few days once I started taking Linzess how it's directed. I would take it with a full glass of water 30 mins before breakfast and would have a a am within the next morning or so. Well I have been trying something new which seems to be working much better. My wife and I usually eat dinner pretty late so we eat around 9:30-10 and then I chill for about an hour. I take a Linzess and go to bed. Each morning I have waken up to a BM after my alarm goes off at 6:00. It is a solid but very easy go. I am amazed and had to share just in case I can help someone else "


"I was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago by MRI after many falls due to foot drop, around 2005.  I took copaxone from 2009 - 2011, 20 mg per day.  It didn't help, it didn't hurt.  I stopped because my insurance wouldn't cover it anymore.  I've had regular symptoms over the last 10 (or even 30) years, they have gotten progressively worse the last 2 years.  I got back on Copaxone about 4 months ago, 40 mg 3 times a week.  I don't think it is helping.  My site reactions are worse than they were with 20 mg daily shots.  I have gotten to the point where I can barely walk without pain, weakness, and shin splints from the muscle weakness in my legs and inability to walk and balance properly.  I take Copaxone ONLY because I'm afraid not to.  Good luck."


"I was diagnosed with RSD almost 4 years ago. I have had 4 surgeries between my wrist and shoulder and have not had a moment without pain. I have been on multiple pain meds and pain patches and sufferred severe allergic reactions. Recently things were so bad due to the extreme amount of pain I was feeling I was using Ultram ER and my doctor added Savella, the combination of these 2 medicines has finally made my pain tolerable. I am not suffering from any severe side effects except some hot flashes, sweating. But I will tolerate those over the pain anyday. This medicine is worth trying, give it a chance. It gives you your life back."


"I've been bipolar for 20 years. I'm a scientist, when I'm working. Lithium has always been helpful but is not so great for depression though it does help if you take it a while. I finally started lamotrigine about a month ago. Lots of friends and professionals I know and trust said I should. I was skeptical since drugs tend to be bad news. After just a month (I titrated up quickly, so I've been on 100 for 2 weeks. probably best not do that there's a fatal skin disease you can get) my low level depression feels better.

I'd say it's genuinely beneficial for bipolar depression. A little dizziness but not so bad, and it fades. My friends say there's no evidence that more than 100mg or 150 helps, but it could increase side effects. 100 is good"


"I've been using Vidaza for two months after my Acute myeloid leukemia relapse, not too much but I was having 0.02 blast shows in Minimal residual disease (MRD) examination, Unfortunately, the blasts increased to 1.9 , which is mean the Vidaza not work well with me at all :/ So my Dr trying to increase the dose for me and he give me a new medication specialty for Leukemia patients and I'm going to try Vidaza and this new medication " tablet " for 3 months more , then he will make a bone marrow examination to see if it's work this time or no :(
Wish me luck please:)"


"I have been on Pristiq for over a year now. I started of on
a 50mg dose for 3 months for my anxiety and panic attacks. All went well but still was only just helping my anxiety, I went back to my Doctor and he upped the dose to 100mg. I immediately had improvements. No more panic attacks and felt great."


"I've had issues with GERD for a long time and have jumped between a few different medications. First I started with over the counter medications like Prilosec and worked my way along to Nexium. When that failed me Dexilant was prescribed. For GERD symptoms, Dexilant has kept things well controlled. I've been on it for almost 2 years now. However, during that time I've experienced a significant increase in gas and abdominal discomfort. Although I've uncovered lactose intolerance and a mild sensitivity to gluten, I still exhibit symptoms, so I'm starting to suspect that Dexilant may be contributing.

If it turns out that reducing my intake of Dexilant is the culprit, I may have to choose between well-controlled GERD or Irritable Bowel Syndrome-like symptoms."


"I'm 71 years old. The tearing and associated pain started a few  months ago. Just hoped it would go away but it did not. I would not let my husband touch me.
Spoke with 2 doctors I know and they said its normal but Estrace would help.
It did. My prescription is dated 3/7/2013. Within 10 days the tearing stopped and all was healed. Use 1 gram 3 X a week. Nothing bad has happened. My libido near immediately was through the roof. I am amazed and nobody needs to try and take this medicine away from me! I'm loving it and my husband is happy too. Yes, my age up there is right."


"I have c-2 c-3, c-5 c-6 and L-3 L-4 herniated in my back and neck. I was in pain killers which did nothing! 10-325. When I finally got into the spine specialist he put me on this and it is a godsend. I am still in pain all the time and have lost use of my right arm but it is bare able where as before I wanted to cut my arm off! Nerve pain is like nothing I have ever felt and I have had 3 children. This is the only medicine that I am scared to run out of. I have been on it since April 2015, I lost my job and insurance and so I lost my doctor and had to cut back from 1800 a day to 600 and I wanted to die!"


"Works fine - no side effects other than thirst in some degree"


"Awful aftertaste. And it made my stomach uneasy."


"Well, I've been taking orlistat for 6 days three times a day, already lost 1 kg. Although I have a headache and am slightly constipated, I am happy I have found something that works."


"I had no side affects at all, and It really did it's job. I got my period one day early and am so happy to see it. I had a mishap about a week ago and rushed to the store to buy this I took it approx. 3 hours afterwards. Works great best money spent."


"I've had a great experience on Chateal. I used to have terrible migraines and unbearable cramps that on more than one occasion threatened to send me to the ER (and only didn't because I couldn't stand up and walk to the car to get there), and that all stopped when I got on birth control. I started on Levora and switched to Chanteal, the transition was seamless. I haven't had any of my previous problems and...it just works. If you are the kind of person who is able to take your pill at the same time each day (and really be consistent), then I would absolutely suggest this pill."


"Worthless, night sweats.  No relief at all."


"I had arthroscopic surgery in 2012 to clean up the damaged cartilage under kneecap so basically bone on bone under knee cap.  They also did lateral release to straighten kneecap.  Two months later I had series of 3 Synvisc shots which lasted two years.  I don't remember two much pain.  In 2014, I waited two long and until I had a lot of pain to get next series of Synvisc.   Last shot was painful.  We switched to Euflexxa and I just had second shot yesterday.   The pain the three days after is the worst.  After first shot, it took 3 days to recover and four days of no pain before second shot.  Today is day after second shot and I have much pain.  Will report back after 3rd shot and update to see if this is better than Synvisc."


"I started this birth control because I hate my period. I was on it for about a month and a half and I felt horrible. I had serious mood swings making me so mean and a totally different person. I also had terrible cramping and a loss of libido. I was taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen for acne and thought that this would keep my acne at bay. Um no I was wrong I broke out everywhere! So I decided to go back to my old birth control and I am back to normal again."


"I started this birth control at 145lbs 5'3 so I was already a little heavy but I was working out and eating healthy to keep losing weight. The first shot seemed fine. By the second shot, I gained 5lbs which I thought was odd but the doctor said it was normal. I then started becoming very depressed and spent most of my days sleeping or in bed. I gained another 10 lbs. when it was time for the third shot. The 3rd shot made me gain 25 more lbs where I was at 185. I always ate relatively healthy and went to the gym. And I decided to not take the 4th shot. And it's been about a month past when I was supposed to take the 4th shot and I'm finally starting to lose weight. I'm at 175 now and still have a long way to go."


"I've been on this for about 3 weeks now. At first I thought it was helping my anxiety a bit but then I realized it was just making me tired and loopy after I took it, and that's worn off now (which is good but now I realized it wasn't helping). Giving it 3 stars because it didn't hurt me except for the tired loopy feeling, and I can't orgasm easily at all. Also my appetite is gone so I've lost some weight, which is nice except having no appetite meant I wasn't taking in enough calories so I was even more tired. Basically it was just pointless and didn't help."


"First off, this product is a holy grail for people who have hyperhidrosis. I purchased the highest strength and it's changed my life, I feel so much more confident hugging people and don't have to constantly worry about how my armpits smell (not to mention, cut down on the amount of laundry I have to do) For anyone out there who's tried every deodorant and antiperspirant known to man in the hopes of warding off underarms that smell like death, Drysol will change your life. The reason why I gave it a 9 though was because if you don't follow the instructions exactly like it says, you will suffer itchy underarms for the WHOLE NIGHT if you apply it the same day you shaved. Overall, very satisfied with this and highly recommend it!"


"I have severe ocd, depression, and social anxiety. After reaching the dose of 100mg per day, this med was extremely effective for my depression, ocd, and social anxiety. In fact it is the only med I have tried that has been very effective for my social anxiety. It absolutely changed my life in just 2-3 weeks after starting it. One catch though It caused really bad difficulty urinating. It was to the point that I had to get off of the med. I will say though after trying around 16-20 psych meds over the course of 10 years it is the most effective hands down. I'm actually starting it again because the trade off really is worth it."


"I had Nexplanon 2 days after giving birth to my son (January 13, 2016) .. And I have not stopped bleeding yet! It's very aggravating because I want to have sex but can't because of the bleeding .. I'm just ready to get it out .."


"I started this pill with the intent of settling my hormonal acne and it worked WONDERS! My skin is very clear and my periods are right on time and light. However, I am switching to a different pill as a trial because of the emotional side effects this has given me. My mental PMS is much worse and I find myself very depressed often. I've also gained 5-10 pounds and it's harder for me to lose weight, but nothing significant. I've also noticed a slight decrease in sex drive if that's what you're into. However, there are ups and downs to all birth controls, if the next one I try isn't good then I am definitely going back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo because it's overall been reliable."


"Started Saxendra on Tues. July 25th. 46 years old, 5'6" starting weight 201lbs.
Starting dose 0.6. Was still hungry and craving sugars and bad snacks.
Upped dosage for second week to 1.2
Day 3 of 1.2 mg huge headache with nausea/vomiting. Had to come home from work.
On Monday I tweaked my neck backing up a trailer at the boat launch. So, I'm attributing the vertigo and nausea to that?
I went for a chiropractic adjustment today for my neck. I guess we'll see if that is the cause of my nausea.  Could be the drug, could be the tweak?
Since I've upped the dose to 1.2 I'm not hungry at all and nothing seems to be appetizing. Forcing myself to eat something.
the "off switch" in my brain  to tell me when I'm full finally works!!!!"


"Been taking Arimidex for nearly 6 years now. Side effects for me are joint & bone pain, weird feeling in my chest that wakes me up. Weight gain, hair thinning & occasional hot flushes. I take calcium tabs and alendronic acid for my bones. Apart from that I'm grateful to be alive."


"Great drug. Really works well."


"I have had a Paragard IUD for 3 years and have had constant BV and odor.  I have been treated several times with oral antibiotics and gels.  I have bad cramps during my cycle and heavy periods.  I also have cramping and bleeding between periods and feel bloated most of the time.  I am getting it removed this week."


"Constipated since Christmas day 2016 now Jan 10th 2017. Went a little every couple of days nothing to write home about.

Took one senokot last night at 9pm.  7:30am next morning had some rumblings a little cramp then went as normal.  Felt a little nausea and a bit of tummy ache for 30 mins then ok.  Thank goodess."


"I started taking 150mg Wellbutrin SR about a month ago to treat severe atypical depression, and it has been nothing short of miraculous for me.  The first two weeks were rough.  I had some heart palpitations brought on by a combination of the meds and caffeine, so I had to stop the caffeine.  I also had to work through a bit of insomnia early on, but that side effect has subsided, and now I actually sleep and wake well rested.  For the first time in a decade, I'm hopeful.  My negative thoughts are still there, but unlike before, I have control over them.  I can manage them in a non-destructive way.  Words cannot express what it feels like to know that you can, for the first time in so long you can't remember, function as a normal person."


"This is my second round of trying. I have had a really hard time getting that second pill into my daily schedule as I don't eat in the morning and taking this on an empty stomach renders me nauseous to the point of vomiting.  This stuff DOES WORK-- if you can grit your teeth and make it through the nausea."


"After taking for three days had a severe anxiety attack while driving a car. Ended up an emotional wreck the rest of the night. I've never had anything like that happen."


"I tried a lot of medicines but these pills really take the pain away."


"Just started my 6th pack and honestly I wish I didn't.

On my 5th pack I started to experience break through bleeding, brown discharge, for about 5 days. It would then clear up I would be good to go for another week, and then again brown discharge. It happened 4 times on my last pack.

So, I'm on my 6th pack now. The discharge cleared up last Tuesday, it's now Monday and it's happening again. SO UNHAPPY WITH THIS. I have went through a 50 pack of tampons in 1 month.. NOT IMPRESSED.

I'm also experiencing mood swings as well. One week I'm good to go happy as can be, next week I'm angry and sad.

So, I'm going to my doctors tomorrow to try something else. This break through bleeding is really starting to suck, not only for me but my bf too"


"I've had dermatitis for 16 years.  It started as mild eczema on my hands but within a year it went from mild to wild!  Woke up one morning and both my forearms were swollen, red, itching, burning and leaking fluid when pushed against.  3 pitting edema.  From that point on over the next few years,  it spread to my torso, legs, back, scalp and face.  Topical creams no longer worked, I was put on prednisone dose packs, but over time, prednisone was causing terrible side effects i.e., moon face, hyperglycemia, depression, agitation, oral thrush etc.  I was then put on Kenalog 40mg every 3-4 weeks but then Kenalog created new side effects.  Now I have to take 80mg of Kenalog and methotrexate.  Works but my life is a wreck."


"Well its only my second month almost third and my experience has been very well until I randomly got my period and since then have been spotting since then. I get cramps randomly in class and have discharge in my underwear. I don't recommend this pill. I think its awful"


"This drug works great at first until you need more and more to focus. Stay away from this med if you don't truly have ADHD or you have hypertension."


"Ambien is great for insomnia after years of not sleeping. Although I have experienced some mild hallucinations and
have gotten up and moved things around in the dark inside my bedroom, while talking to someone I thought was there, but the
sleep is worth the risk. I was miserable for to long."


"Nothing else I tried for over a year had worked. I hadn't slept for more than a few hours at a time, which was exacerbating moodiness and memory problems. Three weeks after starting Duavee the hot flashes were completely gone and I was sleeping again! Just to be sure the change was the medication, I tried taking a half dose... And the hot flashes stared up again. Taking the full dose now for 8 months and feel great!"


"I have had narcolepsy since at least age 15 but was not diagnosed until around age 27.  I started with 200mg of Provigil, then when that didn't work 400mg Provigil.  That didn't work so we tried 200mg Provigil with 15mg Adderall. That helped some for a while.  Then when adderall was affecting my blood pressure we moved to Nuvigil and away from the combination. I have been on 250 Nuvigil for about 2 yrs.  It has done well but now within recent weeks, it is not holding it's own.  I just wonder, at this point what hope is there? If Provigil and Nuvigil do not work, how can I continue working? I can't drive like this, I can't focus, I can't stay awake."


"I'm 18 have been on "the pill" (Loestrin 24) for 2.5 months. The only problem I have had with this pill was mild acne. I would have small breakouts every few weeks. I've never had acne breakouts in my life. Luckily it did not affect my weight or anything else."


"I had unprotected sex while ovulating and he did cum inside me. I took plan b 1 hr later. I was freaking out but i bled 4 days after for about 4 days lightly and then my period came 2 weeks early n was very heavy with bad cramps but got my period and not pregnant the pill worked. All the worrying and  thinking for sure that  I was pregnant and I wasn't the pill did its job."


"I have been taking antidepressants off and on for 20 years. Have tried Prozac, Effexor and cipralex, these all helped me and I was usually on these for a year or two. I haven't taken any medication for the last 5 years.  This past year, I have been suffering from insomnia, waking up at around 3 am with racing thoughts and anxiety. Extreme tiredness led to depression, feeling not myself, lack of interest in anything. I finally had enough and spoke to doctor and decided to give Effexor a try again.  I lasted 2 days I felt completely out of my head , like an acid trip or something and absolutely no sleep. Awful!  I started 50 mg of trazadone 6 days ago and feel like this is exactly what I need. I feel rested and happy again!"


"At the age of 45, my body decided it was time for perimenopause to enter our lives.  The issues with it were a challenge alone.  Then it was,determined I needed a complete hysterectomy due to a chance of ovarian cancer.  So poof - all is,removed and things get worse!  Hair falling out, gaining weight for no apparent reason, still hot hot and did i mention hot!?!?  So I'm referred to an Endocrinologist who prescribes thr spirolactone.  Honestly - my skin is much,better!  I'm always looking to loose a little weight ,- but it seem nothing bad hhas happened.  My face is greatly improved - but my back is still a work in progress.  Overall - i fell its worth giving the Ole college try!"


"I started taking it May 2015, then about 6 mos in, the vertigo started and scared the crap out of me, dizziness, constant sinus drainage, so then the cough, dizzy at times, strange taste in my mouth but the worst was the ringing and another weird noise in my head, it would wake me up in the morning,like morse code. Then the clogged feeling in my head, my heart pounding in my chest and head, so as of right now I am just on HCT, hoping this will just help. Really really bad side effects on this drug.  would take it at night, and would be peeing all night, as to avoid the side effects oh and the blurred vision problems also"


"I am Software Engineer and working in It company. I am totally busy in my work day night to complete my projects. For every new project i need to spend extra time in my work, due to which i am not able to complete my sleep. It had bad impact on my work as it was difficult for me to stay active and fresh. Then i came to know about nuvigil from nuvigilshop site which helps me to become a normal person. It controls my excessive sleepiness and makes me energetic during work time. It helps to stay awake for around 40 hours. Now I am very happy that I can complete my every project with good concentration."


"I have been taking Multaq since July, 2010 and found that my heartbeat has never been so regular.  I had A-Fibrillation and was cardioverted once and since then I have been very normal thanks to Multaq.  The only side effect I have noticed is occasional light-colored, soft stools.
"


"I have been on Saphris for about 3 months now.  I take 15mgs at night.  I'm able to sleep now without the help of any other medicine.  I get restless from time to time but subdue it with Vistaril.  Sometimes I get boosts of energy which can be good.  My moods are more balanced than ever before.  I can laugh things off instead of getting angry.  The reason I gave Saphris a 9 is because it affects my libido.  I recently started taking Wellbutrin to combat this.  I hope it works!"


"Best medicine I have taken for panic disorder. Started May 17th and have not had a panic attack since. Want to start weaning off. Concerned about withdrawal symptoms."


"I have been on this birth control for about 6 months. I switched from Lo Loestrin because that birth control gave me my period continuously. Since being on this birth control I have had absolutely no side effects. I get my period for about 5-7 days, moderately heavy then progressively gets lighter. I had moderate cramps for 2-3 days during my period, but I would get cramps without birth control too. I take it at exactly the same time (9pm) everyday and get my period every month at the same time (during my inactive pills). No weight gain, headaches, moodiness or anything. This birth control has worked well for me, although everyone is different."


"I assumed I had BV, so I went in to the OBGYN and of course I did. I was prescribed 500mg 4x/day for 3 days. I had absolutely no side effects, and the BV has cleared up."


"I was prescribed this drug for some stress and anxiety experienced due to some work life balance issues. I took it for 5 days only. By day 3 i could not stay awake or focus and let alone feel OK to drive. I felt sick and had excessive sweats. Constipated and headaches, i stopped on day 5. Day 6 and 7 symptoms continued with lots of nightmare and night sweats and shakes. never again."


"Been on endep 10mg for 4 weeks .for insomnia. Although it helps me sleep the longer I take it the dopier I get during day. Feel like I am permanently  sedated. Like my brain is shrinking and my head is full of cotton wool all day. No motivation to do anything.."


"What everyone needs to realize if that everyone's body is different n reacts different. You have to see what's best for you!!! You may react differently than the next person. I was on the shot for 8 months n gained 20 pounds and fell into a terrible depression. I've switched and have been on the implant for 8 months now and have dropped 10 pounds! No depression! I'm actual happy! No mood swings. I'm very satisfied so far with the results. So my advice, find what fits you and your body. You may have to try a couple till you find a fit. But don't off of how other people's bodies reacted."


"Several side effects from this drug: diarrhea, slight headache, nausea, stomach cramping, oral thrush, yeast infection. But, the infection did clear up."


"I have been using Avonex for almost 8 years. I find using the pen to be a significant improvement.  I recently changed  the day of the week on which I take my injection. I left Saturday evening and moved to Thursday evening, and might try  Wednesday.

Working with this disease has been a challenge, but I do thank my lucky stars that we have such a gifted and hard-working group of physicians and physician assistants working in this area.

"


"I switched from taking Gildes to Junel, I really liked this pill, my migraines that I usually get on the day of my period went away!! Plus I wouldn't get as moody as before so I knew this pill was the one for me HOWEVER I realized my body was producing more hormones (according to a blood test) that can maybe cause me to get Thyroid Symptom so I immediately stopped taking any kinds of birth control to avoid any disease:/ I didn't know birth control could lead to other complications :/"


"Citalopram is the only anti depressant that has ever worked for me. I'm in my 30s and have been dealing with depression since teenage years. Have tried several meds, but this is the only one that consistently works with no sexual side effects. On other meds I just wasn't interested in sex at all.. not normal for a guy and really bums you and your girl out. It's mild, probably not for someone dealing with severe depression. But i'll say I tried to stop once and noticed a difference right away, got right back on it. Takes the edge off the depression and helps me think clearer."


"I heard that the 7 day is better than the 3 day, but they were out. So I got the 3 day and figured it would be better than the 1 day. Got home, took a shower, dried off and prepared for relief. I was not prepared. I inserted the cream and got comfortable. Within 10 minutes the itching was 30000000000074 times worse than the YI. And the burning feels like salt on an open wound . I'm pretty tough and have a high pain tolerance. This is not pain. This makes me wish for death. This should be used for modern day torture purposes only. I have tried to get it all out, I've taken benadryl. This was a big mistake. I feel so stupid for not just asking my Dr. for Diflucan."


"My boyfriend & I accidentally got too intense on one occasion, & even though he didn't penetrate me all the way, & we didn't mess around long enough for him to cum inside of me, we decided to take Plan B after talking about it later on since he did cum about 30 minutes beforehand & we weren't sure if any remnants of his sperm would make their way inside of me. I took the pill exactly 24 hours after the incident & experienced no side effects whatsoever. I have roughly a 32-35 day cycle, & the day our incident happened was 4-5 days after my period had ended. While on the pill I experienced dryness in my cervix, which later became light brown spotting, & then dark, sticky brown blood which turned into my period! You will be FINE! I promise!!"


"In 42 years old. Omg this pill makes me feell like I'm on my cycle everyday. I'm assuming it's the pill. I've been on it for over two years now. It's been causing problems with my husband because sex is just not in the books for me. I'm moody, cramps all the time, headaches....it's makes me sick. I just want my tubes tide."


"Worked for about a month then I started sleeping 13-15 hours a night and lost all motivation."


"The issues I was having are gone but the ones I didn't experience before this medicine have started. Before I had heavy bleeding during 7 day long periods and sever migraines the day before, now I bleed lightly for 3 days and the migraines are gone. But I used to only get an occasional pimple and now I'm constantly broken out and the camps have been pretty bad. I'm on my third month of it and overall my mood has improved and the migraines and heavy bleeding ending has made it worth it for me."


"Optimal"


"I would never use this product. It took me to the second day before I realized the SEVER itching I felt was from the product and not the yeast infection. I just spent 2 hours in the shower dying from the itching trying to wash it out. Now that I have tried practically everything to get rid of the itch I decided to try the anti itch cream it came with (I didn't want to trust it) and found that it actually works. But just to make sure your not allergic put a bit on so you can wipe it off if it starts to make things worst."


"I had Skyla inserted 6 months ago. I would describe insertion as the most uncomfortable I've ever been. It was extreme pressure in a place deep inside my body – nothing I've felt before, but also not exactly pain. It lasted maybe 20 seconds before subsiding into the feeling of menstrual cramps. Those cramps lasted 3-4 days after insertion, and I spotted for the first month. Since then, Skyla has been pretty good. The only time I notice Skyla is during my period. My bleeding is light, but WOW do I get horrible cramps. I rarely got cramps prior to using Skyla, and these feel similar to the ones I had post-insertion. However my friends have not had this issue – every body is different. Overall I do recommend Skyla!"


"I am experiencing very brittle nails and have been on SIMCOR for at least 6 months. My nails are constantly breaking down to the quick and splitting. I suspect the reason is the SIMCOR as I had healthy normal nails prior to taking this drug. However, I am also going through menopause so this probably doesn't help. My cholesterol levels have improved but I will discuss this possible side effect with my cardiologist at the next visit."


""RCA blockage of 95% in 2013, heart attack and 3 stents. Been on Plavix 75mg  since. I am fortunate I don't hardly bleed and never hardly bruise. Wife says I got thick blood and a thick head!!! No side effects, no interactions with my other 7 meds. I had plavix stents and told would have to take this rest of my life. I'm not going to argue since my father died last month from a massive heart attack and it runs in the family strokes, heart attacks and diabetes."


"I have always had a problem with focus and attention and recently was told I have ADHD, I am currently on Vyvanse and when I started it, I found the first few days to be great. I almost felt superhuman with myself because I was able to start and finish things in one go and felt more active. I have had to have my dosage increased and I feel that as I take this medication, the effectiveness of it is dissipating and being replaced with a feeling of being "Frantic" and sightly anxious as well as it is affecting my mood and causing me to feel adgitated. I will be asking my doctor about trying something else as I feel that just increasing the dosage again would cause the feelings I am getting to becoming worse"


"My daughter has Turners. She has been on this since she was 2 - she is 4 now. It is working great."


"Gained a lot of weight on this pill. I'm always hungry. Absolutely no sex drive, which puts strain on the relationship. I'm on my last row of pills of the 3rd month and still no period. I'm fixed so I know I'm not pregnant. I will be stopping this pill once I'm done with this last pack."


"I started taking Topamax 12 years ago after one of my migraines sent me out of my classroom & into the ER. After the initial few weeks of disorientation, halo vision, & tingling/numbness, my body adjusted to the meds & I had almost 10 years of maybe two headaches per year. A miracle! When menopause hit, my migraines came roaring back with a vengeance. But I stayed on Topamax & my neurologist added other meds to supplement. Things are better now; Topamax has been a lifesaver for me. But it takes some time to let the side effects settle out & for your doctor to tweak the dosages."


"I've been on Pristiq for 2 weeks. I was on Effexor for 7 years after having my son. I always had anxiety and worry too much. After having my son I didn't know why I was panicking etc., all the time so they put me on 75mg on Effexor. It did good for me but I thought I'd stop. I stopped for 10 months and tried natural path which seemed to be okay but not the full strength. When my cat had to be put down almost a month ago I was a mess and still am. I begged my doctor to put me on something. I realize I need meds the most when something major has happened) so they said how about try Pristiq...LOVE IT. It makes me quite relaxed feeling for a few hours after I take it at lunch. My sex drive is SUPER HIGH."


"So I have terrible allergies, which most people on here say they do. I typically use Claritin and Zyrtec. I switch the 2 every other month. Also I use allergy shots. (3 shots every time, which sucks!) Some co-workers of mine mentioned using Xyzal and having good experiences so I decided to try it out. I decided to get the 10 pack first just to try it out since it's so expensive. As far as helping my allergies... the medicine has helped me a lot. The downside is it makes me extremely tired. Basically I better be ready for bed soon after taking it. But I having had any grogginess the next morning. I just wake up feeling really good. But keep in mind, what works for me may or may not work for you. Benedryl and Allegra does nothing for me."


"Have been getting migraines for ten yrs or more. Migraines run in my family. This medication is the only one I have found that gets rid of the migraine to where you can be functional."


"My panic attacks used to be so severe in the same year that I experienced them, that I was almost rushed to the hospital because my family was worried. My heart would pound so fast and hard. I literally thought it was going to explode. By my heart beating uncontrollably for panicking, my chest would hurt a lot and I would get so dizzy and lightheaded. After a year and a half of the horrible random attacks, I was prescribed Celexa and my life has been amazing. I no longer have worries and in the 2 months that I have been on it, I have not had 1 attack since.
I highly recommend Celexa to those who experience panic / anxiety attacks. "


"I have been on Lybrel since it came out. It is an absolute miracle pill for me. I tell everyone about it. I have had no bleeding, no cramps since I have been on it. I used to have very heavy bleeding and terrible cramps. This pill has changed my life."


"You are all inspiring. Two years clean today thanks to Suboxone. It started when I was 22. I had 3 ruptured discs and basically over the next 5 years became completely dependent on pills. The last year I was using my life revolved around pills and fear of going without. I became another person. My life was a lie. I reached my breaking point and I found Suboxone started at 12 mgs. It's been two years and now I am at 2 mgs going off next month. Suboxone gave me the time to heal. I just got married and can't wait to have a baby. My back is still painful but nothing like the pain I was living in with pills."


"Although a very good medicine to overcome the performance anxiety, however one must take into account its two long term side effects:
1. Risk of diabetes due to this medicine
2. memory loss

Please share your experience."


"I’ve been on this medication for going on 3 weeks. I started it on the first day of my period and my period lasted about 4 days. I usually have severe cramps but it helped those out. But I just started bleeding again today. I’m also having mood swings pretty badly and am nauseous all the time. It’s made me really bloated and gassy and I’ve never had an experience like this on any birth control pill. Luckily my doctor switched my prescription earlier this week because this pill was going to cost me $166 a month."


"LYZA BIRTH CONTROL
These are the WORST birth control pills I have ever taken!  I've only been taking them for a couple of weeks and I feel like a crazy person.  I've been crying, (for no reason), been super depressed, my anxiety is terrible, along with daily headaches and break outs.   I realize everyone's body reacts differently to medication,  but I've read nothing but negative reviews.  I can surely attest to that.  I wouldn't advise anyone to take these.   Absolutely awful."


"I had the implant inserted June 2015 for 3 weeks my arm had a bruise and my arm was in pain. For 2 months I had non stop spotting! Too embarrassed to have sex cause of the spotting. The first month I experienced mood swings, depression, hair loss and, migraines by the third month I still experienced all side effects except the spotting stopped. I had it removed yesterday, I just couldn't handle all those side effects any longer"


"I threw up constantly while using it the first 2 months.  And I had constant mood swings & hot flashes. I also gained 10 lbs."


"I was drinking heavy to combat anxiety for years. Remeron sorted me out. Still drank now and again but in general felt good about myself. I've tried lots of anti-anxiety medicines and this one is the best. Weight gain but makes me happy so a small price to pay. One last thing when on this I would look in the mirror and feel good about myself for the first time in years. Good medicine."


"I was on remicade for nearly 5 years. it was working great for me up until last October when I started developing sinus infections. I am in remission but yet I still can't work  - my life isn't normal anymore time to switch it up"


"I got the implant back in Feb this year , a few days after Having a baby .well I look pregnant again .I'm not happy with gaining weight"


"Occasionally got a rash but nothing time or some hydrocortisone couldnt fix.
Loved the convenience.
Didn't love the few times it fell off and had to reapply or tape it back on.
Overall, works great for my very busy lifestyle. Grad student, mom of 2."


"I was diagnosed with breast cancer (stage 2) - underwent 6 months of chemo and 6 weeks radiation.  My hair regrowth was pretty quick but began thinning significantly after about a year of Tamoxifen usage (could see my scalp pretty clearly in the front and on top of my head).  My doctor switched me to Femara about 2 months ago - side effects include lots of hot flashes (about 6-10 daily) and weight gain which I am combating by working out everyday and cutting my calories. I am prayerful that I don't experience anymore hair loss or the joint pain that I keep reading about. Everyone hang in there!"


"I developed eczema when I turned 70. I started dupixent with my initial dose 9 days ago. After about 3 days I thought it was working because my itching subsided about 50 %. However I am sad to say that my condition has flared up again. I will continue treatment for 1 to 2 months and reassess but so far I am deeply disappointed."


"So many negative side effects. This interacts HORRIBLY with THC, especially as the THC wears off, and exponentially exacerbates the intensity and length of any depressive come-down effects. In my experience it  interacts with alcohol in about the same way. Also it can make women in-orgasmic."


"I got this in 8 weeks after I had my baby, and I didn't have a period for a few weeks, and now I've been on my period for almost 4 months. NON STOP. It hasn't gotten lighter, and it's not spotting. It has made me super moody, and it started to make me gain weight but I got back on my ADD meds so it evened each other out. The only reason I'm still on this is because I wouldn't remember a pill. Oh, and I've never had any bladder infections until I had this. I had one almost every month since I've had this."


"So I have been taking this for about 5 days now and I felt compelled to write a review.  I have taken tons of different birth control methods consisting of both hormones of estrogen and progestin.  I am pleased to say that so far this has been working well for me.  I think it is worth a shot to try but as you know every woman is different.  I am still thinking this is too good to be true, but it has been a blessing so far to not wake up dizzy, fatigued, headaches, or nausea.  The only things I have noticed so far are some bloating, light spotting, very little fatigue (nothing compared to other birth controls), and a slight stomach cramp before my alarm goes off to take the pill (perhaps when its almost run out?).  Worth a try."


"I took the first 30mg dose of Cymbalta and had bad side effects almost immediately.  I felt dizzy and felt like I was passing out.  I only took the one dose but have had insomnia for the past 48 hours.  Lying awake feeling agitated and anxious."


"My daughter (8 yrs old) started taking Focalin 5 weeks into this school year.  Her teacher agrees that it is working wonderfully for her.  She is focused and her grades are great.  She was struggling to read, to make it through a regular school day, to do homework and to get along. We asked her how she feels on Focalin and she said " I feel so much better".  She is on 15 mg once daily and it is SUPER."


"I have been having odd neck and shoulder problems for a while. My doctor seems clueless as to what the issue actually is.  About a week ago I woke up them a lot worse than usual and it felt as if my shoulders had fallen asleep. Called the doctor saying this can't be normal. Went to see that doctor. Who looked stuff up on some badly done metric. Only took two of the tablets.  Feeling strange - and not at all myself. This is a very common effect of this stuff. Who ever approved and suggested turning off a bunch of random switches needs their heads examined. And this stuff needs to be taken off the market as mostly junk. Just junk. For me it feels toxic and weird and not at all myself. That is not ok."


"This med is a wonder drug for me.  I saw a difference in my walking speed w/in 2 weeks with only the  10mg use.   As I moved up to the full 20mg daily I found I had more energy, didn't need my daily nap and even have done some light gardening.  Last night I walked down a 3 story spiral staircase when leaving a concert (holding on to the rail and holding hands with my husband).  My ONY negative is with the "Speciality" pharma which we are forced to use. (No choice they are the only pharma for this med.)    Accredo is enough of a hassle (even for my MS renowned DR), I may stop if I have to deal with them monthly.  Don't be afraid of  the seizures warning in the info. W/ the time release pill it seems not to be an issue if take correctly."


"Didn't even touch my migraine. I've tried just about everything for chronic severe migraines, including daily propranolol, Imitrex, Maxalt, narcotics, etc. Only Midrin has helped.  Ran out and tried this. Didn't help. Didn't notice any side effects."


"So I have been constipated since I was an infant. Only the colonoscopy bowel preps would ever give me a full bowl movement.. I would drink that magnesium citrate when I got to bloated and uncomfortable. My GI dr gave me some Linzess samples to try. I used Miralax at night and Linzess in the morning. On the first day, my body was shocked and my bowels ejected lol... the second day I was constipated again. Third day, small bowel movement. I am hoping it will help with my abdominal pain and bloat and I am sick of being in constant pain and discomfort."


"I had the Mirena put in a little over 3 years ago after my second son was born. I loved it for a long time despite the fact that I couldn't lose weight. I didn't gain any weight but I couldn't lose weight regardless of what I did. I never had a period either which was great. For about a year though I have been extremely moody, I have anxiety, I got painful cystic acne on my face, neck, even on my head. I am recently experiencing bloating and cramping. I go to get my IUD taken out in a week."


"It is the only NSAID I can take without setting off my asthma.

It kills the pain and allows me to walk.

No more choosing between breathing and walking."


"I've had wicked panic attacks, anxiety and now panic disorder. I've tried the breathing, distractions, calming music and all that. Only thing that really worked was praying and listening to Christian music. But that didn't do it completely so I went back to the Dr when my latest one caused me to lose my job. I was scared to death to try Zoloft after all the reviews saying things get worse before better and I naturally freak out any time I try any new medication. But, I've been on the 25 mg for about a week and just went to 50. I've had absolutely no side effects other than my brain trying to lie to me, if you know what I mean. I also take .50 mg Xanax with it and I take it at night so I believe that helps. I feel so much better."


"Two years ago I suffered with chronic pneumonia for over a year. It seemed my GP couldn't be bothered to figure out why I wasn't getting better. (I later found out she had never prescribed Levaquin to people, nor did she know that this was a medicine that should be considered when the first "go to" antibiotics don't work. Finally, after another ER visit I sought the advice of a great pulmonologist who prescribed 750mg of Levaquin for a 10-day course. I started feeling better immediately and it was the last antibiotic I had to take because it finally knocked out the pneumonia. I had no side effects. I have pneumonia again and went straight to Levaquin. I now request it & is the only antibiotic I'll take for these types of infections."


"I've had mine since October of 2013. At first I was super excited because it was a no fuss birth control that would cause me migraines. After I had it implanted I gained 30lbs in a matter of 3 months. Although I believe some of that was stress (I'm in medical school) but I continued to work out regularly and was still gaining weight. I have not had my period since I've had it but instead I've had bloating, mood swings, lowered sex drive oh and my migraines have gotten worse. Although I love how easy it is I feel like it's taken a real toll on my body. I hate to say it, but I miss having my normal body functions, even my period!"


"I had Nexplanon placed a month ago and so far it's been good. The procedure was quick and painless, lasted about 2 mins and I was done, it's not at all noticable in the arm it's placed and as far as side effects I've experinced the light spotting that started a week ago to date but it only requires a thin panty liner. During the first two weeks I was very moody and emotional with no libido but that has gone and my body feels it's regular normalcy. Once the spotting finally goes I'll be able to say it's great (hate the spotting) but rather spot than be pregnant and not having to remember to take a pill or suffer weight gain is a plus with Nexplanon, I've actually lost weight while on it so all in all I'm loving this contraceptive choice."


"I have been using Ortho Levora for 3 years. I mainly use it for acne and so far I like the result. My problem is I feel bloated (water retention) other than that my face is smooth compared to my cystic infested face before! Well, I tried Doxycycline a medication specifically for acne but I stopped it immediately due to some horrible experience. I went back to Levora. I think I will be using this for many more years."


"I have used fluconazole several times. It works every time, I don't have to put goop up inside of me for about a week, don't have to buy pads when I am post menopausal. Because I am a diabetic sometimes it takes two pills. Still beats goop and pads."


"I've suffered with widespread pain my whole life along with extreme difficulty sleeping. Took Lyrica (300mg/day) for 3 years & it worked initially to calm the aching but became less effective after a few months. It helped me get restful sleep & calmed my anxiety but I couldn't think, had very poor memory & felt very depressed (got worse overtime). When I stopped taking it I had the worst withdrawal symptoms imaginable (way worse than benzos).  I literally felt worse than dying & all I could think of was when the hellish experience would stop . Took about a month to start feeling better & several months to really feel better. Doctors say that Lyrica doesn't have withdrawal (or it should be minor) but that's rubbish. Withdrawal eventually passes"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I was scheduled for Colonoscopy this morning but had to reschedule. I was prescribed Prepopik for my prep. I have Gastroparesis and read in the med guide that came with the medicine and noticed it said people who have gastric retention should NOT take this prep. I called my doctors office with this info and concern and they assured me I would be fine. I took my first dose of prep medicine at 6 p.m.. Nothing happened at all and I ended up falling asleep. I awoke at 2:30 and had one small regular bowel movement. Took second dose at 3 a.m. and nothing happened!! Called doc at 6 since my check in time was to be at 7 a.m. and explained what happened. Cancelled procedure. At around 10:30 it finally kicked in. If you have Gastroparesis don't take"


"I am very glad to use this birth control because for me there weren't any side effects. I am very satisfied for this product. The pills make me sick and I feel nauseous all the time. I have had aches, vomiting, pains in my abdomen and I was very very dizzy."


"They didn't help my dry eyes at all."


"I had foot pain on right side, my right hip also but not considered at time. I took methylprednisolone 4mg pack. By the end of the medicine, I was not having any pain in foot or hip. Wow what a difference. It made moving around
and going to work was much better than a few days before.
Eating with medicines helps the upset stomach. What a life change! Thanks!"


"I started off taking a birth control IUD called Liletta. It seemed like the perfect option for my family and I at the time. Unfortunately it didn't agree with my body and expelled twice. Tubal ligation and birth control pills just weren't options at the time so my husband and I decided to try nexplanon. It works amazing! I'm been  on nexplanon for 8 months now and I couldn't be happier with our choice. I did experience some aggressive behavior and change in mood because of the added hormones after a few months of having it implanted but it subsided in about two weeks. I would definitely recommend!"


"Dont stress! This pill worked, well at least for me. Whenever I feel stressed, i would read the reviews so here's mine. I took the pill 3 hours after condom breakage on the 11th, one week before my expected period(though mines abit irregular around 34days ). I experienced little to no side effect that week. Week passed and still no period but I did start experiencing abit of neasea and cramps. Nothing unbearable tho. I took a pregency test on the 24th n came out neg n that night I got my period! 2 week after the pill and 1 week late from expected period. My period started off light n slowly heading to the heavy side. It might make u come late so don't worry :) worth the 30 bucks"


"I've had Nexplanon for 3 years. I stopped having periods after the first six months, and that's been great. It's very effective. The major downside: I got terrible acne, on my face, chest, and back with Nexplanon. I never used to break out before (I'm 21). I wouldn't say it made me gain weight, but the weight I have gained is almost impossible to lose. I think I will take a break from it just because I want my skin to go back to normal. If you have severe period cramps like I did, I would definitely reccommend."


"Went on this birth control and within the first week I was throwing up EVERYTHING I would eat. I was constantly dizzy and had horrible headaches. I was never eating yet I felt extremely fat. My boobs are super sensitive. No sex drive . No spotting but I am extremely moody and I got on the pill to help my face stay clear, but all it has done is make my face break out extremely bad. I don't know if I should stay on this pill or drop it it has only been around a month so I am hoping the side effects will go away but if they keep happening , I will be switching."


"This works incredibly well for my nerve pain."


"Third pregnancy and zofran wasn't cutting it for me. Midwife prescribed diclegis- felt insanely better the next morning nausea wise but was super fatigued. If you miss a dose it will rock your world. For the first few days it knocked me out all night and made me feel sleepy all morning.  Now I seem to be experiencing the insomnia/nightmares side effects and it's not fun. I'm hoping in a couple weeks I can wean off of it because I generally feel better a couple weeks into the second trimester. Definitely think the nausea aid is worth the side effects though- guess it all depends on how bad your nausea/vomiting is- and if this works for you!"


"I have forgot to take a couple of times. I am not able to function if I skip I have to go to doctor and beg for more if I run out. I am going to ask to be taken off this medicine and prescribed something else. My last experience was horrible. I ran out for 1 night and when I awoke I was falling everywhere and could not get it under control until I took a pill."


"I have been on Nuvigil for several years for alertness, or lack thereof, and attention issues.  I have had little side effects and don't think I could function properly without it.  Initially, there was a bit of insomnia for a few days, but that passed and all is well since.  Last week I ran out and had to wait a week to get the script through the mail. Ugh! I could not get up in the morning after 8-9 hrs of sleep, I walked around all day in a fog and was afraid I would fall asleep at work. This continued throughout the week and did not seem to get any better.  Finally, my medicines came in, took it this morning and it was like the sun had come out and could function again.  Not all medicines work for everyone, but for those it helps it is a lifesaver!"


"Dont like this medication at all. I have MS and i started taking this for depression/anxiety about a month ago and i must say i will not take another pill as of today! This is a terrible medication, it gives you the weirdest nightmares! And thats when you can finally sleep! Avoid this medication at all cost and anything like it"


"Has definitely decreased my flow by about 50%, I have not had any accidents while taking this medication. Before I had at least one or two accidents per cycle. The headaches can be annoying but I'd take them over the heavy flow any day!"


"I have trouble sleeping. I don't like taking drugs but find after missing 2-3 nights in a row I have to take something.  A friend (battling cancer) told me Melatonin helped her. I have taken it 3 nights in a row and slept 10 hrs, 6 hrs and 8 hrs. BUT I seem to be drowsy midday and need a nap as soon as I get home. So going to stop for a few nights and then try half a tablet"


"I'm 22, no kids and I got skyla inserted 5 days ago. They told me to come in while I was on my period. My doctor made me feel very comfortable during the process. It wasn't painful, but it was slight discomfort and I felt a little light headed like I was about to pass out. I think it was from whatever he put in my cervix to numb it. I went home fine but later that night I had the worst cramps, I thought I was going to die. But after that night I was fine until 3 days later I got more bad cramps I couldn't even go to work. But it went away shortly. It's been past 7 days of being on my period and I'm still bleeding but it's light . i didn't rate a 10 because I have to  see how this go for another couple months"

"I fired my doctor for switching me to Brintellix and saying it had no side effects. I don't know if he was outright lying or just believing whatever the drug company said. Either way he proved himself incompetent. Brintellix has terrible side effects. I was only taking 5mg a day and it's the worst drug I ever took."


"Very helpful with restless legs but bought on obsession to gamble."


"I started taking Simponi 4 days ago after a very severe flare-up. I am 54 years old and have had rheumatoid arthritis for 29 years. I was pretty much incapacitated with the pain.  Two days ago I was able to resume my normal household chores and feel so much better!  I really hope the effectiveness continues."


"I have been taking Ritalin for about a month now. It really helps me focus on things. But a downfall is, it is really hard to multi-task. I can only concentrate on one thing at a time, and that makes it very difficult for my school work. Also, I have had a huge loss in appetite. I am not hungry, EVER. During the month I have been on this medicine I have lost almost twenty pounds due to the fact that I never want to eat."


"I'm a healthy 44-year old with no major physiological conditions, but have been under tremendous stress for more than a year. This made getting and maintaining an erection difficult, because I was worried about whether I could perform, even though my wife and I have always had a great sex life for nearly 20 years.

My doctor wrote a script for the 5mg daily dose at my request and all I can say is "wow"! My only qualifier is I seem to be having more frequent heartburn, but that could simply be a flare up of an existing condition due to my holiday season diet of fattier foods. Enzyme supplements, acidophilus supplements and yogurt are my standard regimen to treat this, and I may cut my dose to alternating days to see if there's any change."


"I have used this product with great success for years! My daughter uses it for Crohn's Disease with good success.  My reason for writing this review is say I am so happy with this company!.  Being a senior , I am on a fixed income. The company provided me with  a coach & now get it for free. The delivery is amazing. I get several months at a time & of course have to be at home to sign for it  as it is an expensive medicine. I was advised the medicine would arrive around 10AM today. At 10:10 AM  my door bell rang and received my supply for a couple months arrived ."


"Ambien CR is my most recent attempt to circumvent my chronic insomnia. After taking it I go directly to bed. It typically takes an hour or more to have any affect. I will get 2-3 hours of restful slumber before I wake. Going back to Klonopin & Lunesta."


"I do not have sensitive skin. The first time I tried using this product, it drys up my face causing redness and flaky. Now it's hurts so much I have to discontinue this product. My face is so dry and red now."


"Straterra is changing my life. I held out for 4 months with the side effects and now the improvements are extremely significant. My memory is better and I can get myself easier into a concentration mode. Although it does not fight all symptoms, it enables you to start taking action against it, if that makes sense."


"discontinued 2014. Congress made it illegal by passing the safe and effective act. the drug predated the FDA."


"I took Accutane about 10 years ago, it was a pain to go to the lab every month so I could get my prescription but it was worth it. My skin was so bumpy and inflammed that at some points my eyes would be swollen shut from the massive bumps on my cheeks. I only took Accutane for about 3 months and I have been mostly clear since. I have only had about 2 large rosacea related cysts since and they were 1/4 the size and didn't have the pain that just made you want to cry. I'm still on other medications as it didn't completely clear up my rosacea acne but it was 80% better and I couldn't be happier that I no longer suffer from the pain of the cysts."


"I took Jardiance for over 2 years. I lost weight on it without dieting. I had a yeast infection for 2 months. I told my physician I needed a break from it. I went back to Glimeperide and immediately started to gain weight. My yeast infection cleared within days of stopping Jardiance. In the mean time, I found out some much needed advice on the internet how to avoid all the infections while taking Jardiance. If you use a baby wipe to clean yourself after you urinate, the glucose will not be around to cause the UTI's and yeast infections. I went back to Jardiance. So far, I have not had reoccurring infections."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"It's my 10th day. The first 3 days I hag a general feeling of being ill, like all was not well, but I couldn't place my hands on the illness, but I was strong enough to work. I felt slightly lethargic and had a metallic taste in my mouth which my pharmacist had warned me about. I didn't feel nauseous, but by the 4th day I woke up feeling good and bursting with energy and felt like my body was asking for the next dose close to the time of taking the next dose. I ate a good meal before each dose and it made decreased any feeling of unease. My stool is black, a lot more and are like coffee grounds. I wish my doctor had told me about taking probiotics to replace good bacteria."


"I have been on this medicine for 4 months, and it is the first time that I can actually wake up without feeling tired. It had gotten to the point that I was falling asleep at the wheel and at work.  Now I feel like a new man.  My sex life has come back to the level like I am 20 years old.  Great medicine."


"I've had migraines for 40 years. This works 9 out of 10 times, usually in about 20 minutes. Occasionally I've had to take a second pill or dose, but 1 pill almost always does the trick. The other 10 % of the times I use Maxalt or its generic form. My insurance has recently dropped coverage for this inexpensive, very effective drug.  I'm not happy and plan to appeal for coverage."


"This medication could have saved my life! I had a root canal gone awry. The emergency dentist prescribed Clindamycin and Flagyl stat. Could not take the Flagyl as I had swallowed listerine (has alcohol in it). The next morning an Endodentist redid the root canal, and he said to take the Clindamycin only. Two days--and a LOT more pain and swelling later--I found myself at night with enormous swelling spreading to my upper mouth with more throbbing pain, With nothing to lose, I took one dose (500mg) of Flagyl. Within 2 hours I felt no pain--it was like someone took water out of a balloon. Thank goodness, I believe I had an odd bacterial infection. I'll take both antibiotics for the duration. No alcohol on Flagyl--bad side effects!"


"I have had hypothyroidism for almost my entire life.  I have been on Synthroid and generic levothyroxine and never felt much better with all symptoms remaining.  I finally got an endocrinologist to listen to me and he lowered my dose of Synthroid and gave me liothyronine.  My depression lifted in 2 days, my cholesterol dropped 40 points and my energy level has never been this good.  I am having a little difficulty with insomnia.  I still struggle to lose even 1 pound but I'll still take the difference that I feel."


"I thought it worked really well at first but I started getting a rash so I stopped now withdrawal is hard"


"My 7yr old son has ADHD and has been on medicines since 3.5 yrs old. Right now he's got two days left on his first week of 1mg Intuniv before we go up a dose. First few days he was tired a bit and all seemed to be improving on his defiance and irritation. We are on day 5 and at this point I'm anxious to get going on the 2mg dose as he seems to have simply gotten "used to" the 1mg dose.
Update....started the 2mg a few days ago and did not seem to have many issues.  A bit sluggish but nothing concerning.  School called today and he had THREE seizures.  My son has no medical issues other than ADHD.  Seizures are a very rare side effect of this medicine.  Intuniv is definitely NOT for my son.  Obviously."


"I have Anklosing spondylitis, arthritis in many joints, fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy. I'm taking 8 of these 500mg pills a day and it is not cutting my pain."


"Did absolutely nothing to help with the burning or pain. Just made me queasy and turned my pee highlighter orange. Total waste of $5."


"Went to the hospital last night for flu like symptoms. While I was there I experienced a sudden migraine. When I told the Dr. he decided to treat me with a cocktail outside of my usual. He gave me Reglan, Toradol, and Benadryl. As soon as the nurse began to push the meds in my IV I felt the worse burning sensation ever! After all 3 meds were in I began to feel closed in, constricted and overall worse. The nurse ran and got the dr and this is when he decided to reveal that the Reglan can make you feel very anxious, he said it should go away in 10 mins or so, and it did but I will never allow them to give me this medication again. I literately tried to rip the IV out of my arm because of it."


"I have had Mirena in for a little over 7 months. I love it for the fact I have not had a period for the entire time, just a little spotting for about 3 weeks after insertion. But I cramp pretty often still, but at my checkup the doctor told me if I could just make it through the first 6 months I would be good to go. But I'm still hurting pretty bad. I hate to keep taking medicine because I know it's not good for my body. I am tired of cramping all the time, because at times it's so bad I feel like curling up in a ball and sleeping all day. "


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


"Felt horrible, very depressed, lethargic, tired all the time."


"I take 10 milligram pills every 8 hours as directed. It is small and extremely easy to swallow, especially for those who dislike taking pills. It eases the muscle spasms enough for me to get comfortable in bed or a chair. However, it does not make me sleepy and I usually don't feel the ease until about an hour after I take it."


"Age 59, the sexual drive is very good for my age. The problem ist ejaculation premature. The erection with the help of viagra comes easily, but the ejaculation comes much too early. I cannot help it.

"


"This acne medication is amazing! Has nearly completely cleared up my severe body acne (chest and back) in almost two weeks. The only downside is the harsh drying side effect it has had on my skin as well as the rash that started two days after use. In saying this, the rash cleared right up with some hydro-cortisone cream so it wasn't a super big deal. All in all, it really does work and I am super pleased with my results."


"after two days of severe pain and visit to doctor, blood work and x-ray came up with problem. never had any type of gout/arthritis related problem before. crystals were found on my wrist. after two days of taking colcrys, Wrist is still stiff and hurting but pain is bearable."


"The best short term solution to anxiety!
I've been on diazepam for over a year.
It's great to always have there in case a panic attack starts to come on, and it completely takes the edge off any stressful situation.

It seems doctors are reluctant to prescribe diazepam, however if you are prescribed this medication, it's definitely a life saver.

I take 2.5mg at a time (from 5mg tablets)."


"Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 18 months ago, been on sulfasalazine all time. First 2 months felt sick and headachey, but okay since. Found ringing in ears relieved by having high pillows, i.e. two good ones and a very soft lesser one. Visit Rheumatologist every 6 months, with blood tests every 3 months. Carpel tunnel was very bad prior to taking sulfasalazine. Much better now; keeping well."


"I was diagnosed with chronic depression and my therapist suggested I start taking meds for it. I hated the thought of taking something like that so I went online and found these pills and they are amazing. I bought them from amazon. I never noticed how bad my thoughts and moods were. I couldn't be the mother my children needed me to be and some days it would be hard for me to get out the bed or even leave the house. These pills started working within the first week of taking them. I also take 5 -HTP 200 mg along with the St Johns wort and they work wonders together. My negative thoughts are gone and I can get up and move and smile like I use to. I would recommend these pills to anyone, especially if you would rather have a natural alternative"


"Best thing to happen to me. Wish I would have done this years ago."


"Hi, I am 21 with a two year old. My first bc was the mirena, I had that for a year and had to get off due to having so much pain. after that was removed I got the nexplanon. I had that for 5 months and bled EVERY day. I got that removed on 6/16/16 and right after taking it out I got the skyla put in. it was uncomfortable, but really just a pressured cramp. I had cramps that night but the following day I felt fine and had unprotected sex (24 hrs after getting skyla), no pain at all. I am on day 4 of having skyla and have been cramping all day. it is different for everyone, but only you know your body and what you can and cant handle."


"To those who experience restlessness and bad mood following dose... try Cogentin (benztropine)!  The simple addition of a 1mg pill of Cogentin with my evening dose completely, 100% knocks out the feeling of restless agitation.  The addition of a med for side effects is worth it to be able to continue on such an effective and easy to take antipsychotic"


"I had spinal fusion on 1 disc over 13 years ago. Maybe I should have done the 3 as recommended by one of the 3 opinions because I've have had chronic pain ever since. Still 3 cervical herniations and 3 lumbar. I was on Vicodin and Robaxin and the need increased over time I guess due to tolerance. I was miserable. I finally  I gave up and decided to live with the pain. I didn't see a dr for 5 years. Last yr I just couldn't do it anymore. I found the right Dr.- I feel HUMAN again. 10 mg patches work ok with Percocet but they don't work because Butrans has something in it that counteracts narcotics). I do get joint pain in my arms (weird). May need to go to 20mg since percs don't work. On Neurontin for nerve pain. Gained 10lbs but eat less. ???"


"I gained 10 pounds in 7 days on this."


"I bought this medicine for my husband and after reading all these reviews I was hesitant to give it to him. His coughing not only kept him up but myself. He did take it after all and believe me he slept through the night and so did I. I can honestly say I am glad I did not listen to these reviews it really worked."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I was extremely nervous about this prep.   I'd heard all the stories and such about it.   My biggest concern was the possible interactions with my current medication.  I took the advice of many and stocked up on powerade to avoid possibilities of electrolyte imbalances.

As for the medication itself, I'd have to say the worst part about it was the taste and having to drink so much all at once.  ( The digestive issues I am having is that EVERYTHING I eat or drink makes me nauseous).  So, I eat very little at a time.  With this medication, it tasted like the old formula Robitussin (nasty flavor).   Needless to say, I vomited soon after the first 16 oz of water.   Effective?  Definitely cleaned me out.   Pleasant?  Nope."


"Zegerid is the best medicine for GERD I've ever taken. However, I'm wondering if continue usage of Zegerid as it has caused problems with my finger/toe nails. For the recent two-three years my nails have become both brittle and soft. Can't seem to have nice nails anymore. "


"I have neuropathy and gout.  Zinc Undecylenate is the only treatment that has ever been effective for me in reducing foot pain and allowing me to sleep at night.  It is one of the original ingredients in the old formulation of Desenex foot powder and is not available anymore except on Ebay in old tins."


"The infection was eased almost immediately, however by midtreatment I was very jittery and broke out with a hot, hive-like rash that was so miserable that no lotion would relieve,but it was the lesser of two evils to get over the kidney infection. I had to skip the last dose in order to function at work mentally and my body is still very sore. Could tolerate absolutely NO SUN!"


"This is the best treatment for acne! I'm 23 and still had acne, though I had it primarily on my back and arms. I would never take my shirt off in public an%u010F was extremely self conscious about it. I'm 4 months into the treatment and I have NO new pimples (marks still there). I just hope the acne doesn't come back after the treatment.  Side effects are manageable, I've had dry lips, eyes and nose bleeds throughout the day but the advantages of the treatment outweigh the side effects by miles!"


"I was prescribed Nora b after being off of birth control for 15yrs.... I always had normal periods on time to a tee now I am getting my period for 9 days.... I'm stopping this med right away....especially after reading all those reviews on in between period bleeding"


"I have been on phentermine for 3 months exact now. When I had started I was at 294 now I am down to 253. Thats 41lbs loss so far! Its has helped me a ton as well as counting my calories and a change of diet. I have only had the dry mouth and insomnia or having a hard time sleeping on it than usual but its tolerable. Other than no complaints what so ever. I am going to continue on my weight loss journey after this month without it. This was a great boost."


"I used  it for 8 years and I still kept losing hair. If it is good why are there so many movie stars that are bald? For those that it does not grow hair for will be told you are one of those 20% that does not work."


"After just about a couple of days after taking Abilify I feel much better.  It has taken me from thinking about suicide all the time and not having any hope to actually wanting to go out and do things.  The bad side is the restlessness I hear so much about.  I almost feel like it's making me manic, and I cannot sit still.  It's a very uncomfortable feeling. Sometimes I just pace around for no reason, so I cut down to a half a pill.  Overall I feel like its helping."


"I've had Nexplanon in for about 3 months now. I got a period 2 weeks after insertion that lasted about 4 days but have not had a full on period since. I get random spotting that lasts a day or 2 but its barely nothing and I am still able to have sex. I don't have much of a sex drive though and I also have experienced dryness. I thought it was because I was wearing tampons for the spotting but I stopped and am still experiencing dryness. I have weird cravings for foods (some that I did not even like before lol) and have experienced some weight gain but I think it is because of poor food choices. Headaches and dizziness are also common for me. But..no period and not pregnant!"


"I haven't had a single noticeable side effect while taking this pill. No acne, no significant weight gain, no mood changes, no loss of sex drive. Not to mention it works wonders for your cycle: mine's extremely consistent, my periods are lighter, and my once terrible cramps are distant memories. Oh, and you also won't get pregnant. This is a great pill, the side effects some people report are probably an expected reaction or an individual bad experience. Highly recommended."


"I have been using clobetasol for about 8 years. It works straight away if I get any psoriasis on my face."


"Will never use this product again. Inserted the cream on the first night and felt a little burning right away but not bad. Went to sleep as woke up in the middle of the night with this horrible burning and itching sensation. Completely unbearable. Ended up popping 4 ibuprofen and had to put a cold washcloth down there to help the burning. Ibuprofen definitely helped. On the second night I figured I'd give it one more shot since maybe it wouldn't burn as much. Well I was wrong, as soon as I inserted the cream, immediate burning and itching. Ended up going in the shower and washing it out. So horrible.... I threw out the box and the 3rd night applicator. I do not recommend this product to anyone."


"Do not take this drug. It cleared up my acne, but it destroyed my mind. I became severely depressed. I've never had depression before. I would cry all the time. I began having severe panic attacks. It felt like I lost my mind for those 6 to 7 months. It was the darkest place I have ever been in my life. After stopping the medication the damage was done. The depression went away after about 6 months.  But I continued to have anxiety issues, heart problems, and social anxiety. I took this medication 7 years ago. And it wasn't until about 2 or 3 years ago where I finally started feeling somewhat normal again. It caused anger spells and just does so much damage to your brain and you can't control your emotion"
