"I suffered with sciatic nerve pain for two weeks. It hurt to sit or lay down. The doctor ordered muscle relaxers, which made me very drowsy and I slept 14 hours at a time. I was starting to consider surgery when my primary doctor became unavailable, his replacement immediately ordered Prednisone. By the end of the first day, the pain started to subside. By the end of the third day, it was completely gone. I continued to take the meds as prescribed until finished. I would recommend this product to anyone. My blood pressure was elevated, due to the pain, and I believe Prednisone saved my life."


"It helps with the heavy bleeding and long periods, but thats it! I get so sick to my stomach on these, I have real bad PMS and sore breasts and nipples and it doesn't do anything for my skin or hair."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Taken for colonoscopy prep. Received the generic GaviLyte-G. I didn't use the lemon flavor packet.  Prepared the container the night before and left it in the fridge. At 4:00 PM started drinking 8 ounces every 10 minutes. I don't find the taste off-putting at all, it's like slightly fizzy, slightly salty water.

It started working after the 3rd dose (30 mins after starting).  By the 7th/8th dose I was on an every 10 minute schedule - when I left the bathroom it was time for the next dose. 17 doses later (4 liters div by 8 oz) I'm confident I'm quite cleaned out; clear going in, as clear as I can imagine might be possible coming out.  Lots of volume, but it works."


"I rated a 5 because sometimes it helped and sometimes it did not. When I first began to take Lexapro, I was very tired, and I was like a zombie. There was a small range of emotion for me. It did help with my depression and my anxiety, but I was still depressed. At one point in time when I was taking medication, I had a depressive episode where I began to have hallucinations. I don't think Lexapro was the cause, but I don't think it helped very much either. All in all it was more or less helpful with my Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety."


"After experiencing severe anxiety from Wellbutrin, I started taking Zoloft 4 days ago while decreasing Wellbutrin.  While I think it will work with my brain chemistry, as I am already much more relaxed and easier to be around (no more snappishness), the eye dilation, sweats, nausea and general sick feeling aren't fun but expected.  Thanks for all the feedback from others.  It helps manage my expectations."


"I  was recently admitted to a behavioural health center for clinical depression. I am addicted to prescription pain meds and was given small amounts (.5 mgs twice a day) of Methadone for seven days, and was released with enough for seven more days .Not only did I no longer crave my previous narcotic meds my pain level was the lowest it was in years! I suffer from RA and degenerative arthritis in my back. I've tried several other treatments for my chronic pain including epidurals and a Fentanyl pain pump that went horribly wrong when the catheter came out of my spine 3 times causing an infection that ended with a hole in my back the size of a golf ball that required more surgery. "


"I took Bonine for sea sickness prevention. In the middle of the night, I had a seizure and was hospitalized for one day."


"Prescribed Levaquin for 5 days. 5 to 10 days after completing medication, which killed the pneumonia, I started to have joint pain. Now, over two months after taking this medication I am pretty much disabled. I have what is now called Fluoroquinolone induced tendonapathy in my shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. I also suffer from neurological changes that effect my sense of touch and I feel like I am suffering from mild electric shocks all over my body. I wish I would not have been given this antibiotic. It has slowly destroyed my quality of life."


"I'm pretty excited. My dress size is down from an 8 to a 4 after about 8 months on Belviq. Yes I am exercising daily. My eating habits have changed for the better. I think that is how it works. You forget to eat and when you do eat you eat less. You get used to eating less and better, healthier foods seem to fill you up more than before. I have now new eating and exercising habits so yes, this is the new me. I hope this helps others as much as it has helped me!"


"This stuff works really good, had no side effects. But let me tell you, it tastes SO BAD. I'd eat before taking it, would chug it with water. You're going to instantly want to puke it out the second it touches your tongue. Horrible aftertaste. I suggest using maybe juice instead of water to mask the taste. Drink lots afterwards too, that taste doesn't leave your mouth"


"37-year old female, 10 mgs about 4.30 AM; prescribed three days ago; used for ADD-like symptoms associated with Asperger's.  I feel more comfortable in my skin, focus lasts for more than 12 hours. Only problems: cannot eat apples without getting spacey for about a half-an-hour (used to eat them to boost focus and energy when my Strattera wore off after four hours), and have to really fight to focus during monthly cycle.  However, no other complaints, yet.  Also on Lisinopril (20 mgs) for blood-pressure and Metoprolol (betamblocker to reduce betawaves for anxiety; 25 mgs).  Concerta XR was good too and had the same effect."


"This medicine is the best for migraines.I have been on this medicine for almost a year and I started getting relief after two weeks of taking it. The side effects that I have experienced is, weight gain, dry mouth and dizziness and especially if you wait to take the medicine after a certain time of the night. I give this medicine two thumbs up. I currently take two 50mg at bedtime."


"I have given this to my mother for cognitive help due to Alzheimer's and she has had nothing but challenges, she can't formulate sentences, she's confused, hallucinating.  After only 5 days I took her off.    She had previously tried Aricept but had the same reaction.  I know they are the same family so it wasn't a surprise.

Now I am frightened of all the drugs."


"Hospitalized January 2012 due to bleeding peptic ulcer which I didn't know I had. GI doc said ulcer was due not to H. pylori but entirely to NSAIDs, the nightly 325 mg aspirin (combination therapy with Plavix for RCA stent, Dec. 2010), to which I added generous doses of Advil (600-800 mg) most days trying to combat muscle pain from simvastatin (current combination of Livalo 2 mg   400 mg CoQ10 = no pain). I am supposed to continue Protonix as long as I am taking aspirin (now only 81 mg).  No visible side effects after a year and a half. I do take magnesium 2-3 times a week due to concern about Protonix knocking mg level down. Also take Caltrate, for the osteoporosis it may cause. Protonix is easy to take, but hard to get off of, I hear."


"I have  PTSD with psychosis  and have switched from risperidone due to leaking breasts and loss of period. Seems to be working fine but I prefer to take meds at night then pass out which makes eating with geodon difficult. So far so good. My docs think it's my best chance to have a period again not that I can have any more children with all the drugs I take (clonazepam & sertraline also)."


"I'm currently taking both of these antibiotics for an abscess, my toothache went  within a day and my swelling has calmed down slightly but it's become a lot easier to talk and smile again due to the pain disappearing (I physically couldn't smile to a certain degree, hurt too much too)
Side effects - I have experienced drowsiness, dizziness and I have been feeling light headed but it also really hurts when I move my head, e.g. bending down, moving my head side to side etc. feels like all the blood is rushing to the side I move to? Painful anyway"


"Have had 2 sinus surgeries in the past 5 years. This is the first sinus infection since my last surgery (2 months of sinus infection) and I just started Avelox yesterday. So far not much of a side effect, have some nausea (but that sure beats another surgery). Good luck all."


"I was prescribed this by my doctor and it was terrible. I stopped taking it after 5 days because my doctor told me to. It made me angry all the time. It did not help my concentration. Also, 3 days after taking it I still have shortness of breathe, my heart is still beating hard, and the left part of my chest has immense pressure on it. I'm never taking this stuff again. Trust me, nobody needs it."


"Started taking Atorvastatin because the Crestor I was taking previously became far too expensive for me to afford after the promotional discounts ran out and my insurance plan changed, resulting in my having to pick up the entire tab of $920 every 3 months. Atorvastatin, on the other hand, while not quite as effective, was far cheaper, at $30 per 90 days.

The test results, while not nearly as good as Crestor (which was AMAZING),but  are still acceptable, with some results a bit beyond the normal ranges, while with Crestor, every result was perfect.

Zero side effects. Considering the very low cost of Atorvastatin, I am overall quite happy with it.

Age 57. Started taking after a massive heart attack and quintuple bypass surgery."


"So far I have been on the Butran's patch for about 2 weeks. I have a rare genetic disorder called Familial Mediterranean Fever. Basically my body can't stop normal body inflammation and hormones, physical exertion, and strong emotions can make the inflammation worse and that is an attack. The pain is unbelievable. I've been on Vicodin for the chronic pain and for the pain when I have an attack for 3 years. After being on Norco's for 8 months they just weren't doing it for me anymore during my attacks. My doctor started me on the 10mg Butran's patches along with my normal amount of Norco pills. Right now I can only say that it helps along with the pills (3-4 a day). But they itch really bad, I get a rash at the site, and I have problems peeing."


"I am 23 and have been taking this for a year now.  After suffering from a blood clot in my leg last year, I found out that I have a blood clotting disorder that is caused by a genetic mutation and have to remain on a blood thinner permanently.  I have been taking Warfarin from the beginning and have had no side effects.  My uncle had tried Warfarin and suffered from a few side effects which prompted him to switch to Coumadin.  For the short time he was on Coumadin, he had no complaints.  I suppose it depends on the individual but the Warfarin has been working just fine for me and is very affordable."


"Started taking this medication 3 days ago for strep, didn't even know I could still get strep after getting my tonsils out 15 years ago. I've been sick for just over a month and wasn't getting any better. I take absolutely no medications but I just couldn't take being sick anymore. The fever, chills, aches, are gone. Throat is still scratching if I talk to much, sinuses are still completely plugged and runny nose is still present. My Dr prescribed Biaxin for 10 days so fingers crossed this continues to work!"


"Not every effective. Too expensive"


"I have been on Adderall for several years now and can't say enough good things about the medicine. It helps me to focus on tasks and now that I am in college, it has really helped with my studies. It took me a while to come to the realization that I needed something to help with my ADD and I am glad I was prescribed Adderall. The side effects for me have been loss of appetite. I would have insomnia but I take anti-anxiety medicine before going to bed, to counter-act the medication. My short and unscientific philosophy on Adderall is that it bridges the gap between wanting to do something and actually doing something."


"First off, I am a 28 yo with no children.  I was extremely excited to get Paragard.  I don't do well on hormones and my husband and I don't want children so a long term solution seemed like the best idea  (bonus: my insurance covered it!)  Insertion was painful, but the 600mg of ibuprofen I took prior helped.  Apparently if you have had kids it's less painful.  My first period after was worse than normal but no bloodbath, cramps were sharper but not unbearable.  Then I kept spotting.  And spotting.  And spotting.  After my first period I have not gone a single day without bleeding 3 months later.  And I get a sharp pain when I climax during sex (but otherwise sex is painless, hubs can't feel a thing.)  Considering removal now :("


"I have taken Ocella for almost eight years and loved it.  It improved my acne, mood swings, etc. I didn't really have any noticeable side effects. However, in the last few months I started getting all over body itching and then hives.  I eventually realized going off of this cured my itching/hives so I decided to write this review incase anyone else is dealing with these symptoms.  Generics can change filler ingredients at any time, so unfortunately I will no longer be taking this pill."


"I started to take minocycline on a Friday and by Tuesday my break outs had stopped. Obviously I still have scarring but I do not have any new acne. My skin was a bit more sensitive to light, but this was really the only side effect. I also made a number of dietary changes, no coffee, limit dairy, no sugar, etc so this may have helped. At night after work I made sure to do a honey mask to kill bacteria on the surface. Drinking 3+ liters of water may have helped as well. I did take on an empty stomach."


"I am 22 years old with a 4 month old. Just got it today, last night I was starting to have doubt's about getting it. I went online and read a few reviews. Some girls had bad experiences. I got nervous and since I am a wuss I thought I was going to chicken out. Today I got it done and it did not hurt at all. Really recommend getting it. Most drs put it wrong. If you are near me, I suggest going to UCI in Anaheim with Dr Rita ceja. She is aswome "


"Itchy, itchy! I've found opioids analgesics are the best for my chronic pain.  Roxicodone caused pruritis for me. That might not seem like a big deal. However, when dealing with pain that's been constant for years, a side effect like non stop itching is one more thing that magnifies the pain. Then there's pain, itching, and more loss of sleep.

There were a couple of remedies. The doctor rxing a different medicine. Or taking an antihistamine to overcome the itching.

In today's current anti-opioid environment, doctors seem more likely to throw up their hands, and say, "Well I guess you're just not a good candidate for opioids!" Which just isn't true. Switching worked like a charm for me."


"This has been the best medication for my 10-yr old son, both in how it works and the fact that it's a liquid. He has severe ADHD. He can't swallow pills and the patch gave him a rash. He had tried a few capsule meds opened up & the extended release bead mixed in pudding. As soon as this came out, we switched him to Quillivant and he's had great success in managing his ADHD during the day. He starts having trouble at school around 1pm, so it does wear off somewhat, but overall we have been impressed with this medication. I will second the other reviewer's comment that you should get the Copay card from your prescriber that is given to them by the manufacturer so it only costs $20/month. You can get a new one each calendar year."


"Ok, am I bad? - I have been on it for over a month with no results (or side effects or anything)... then I realized it's a twice a day pill. Oops! Today is day one of taking them twice a day. I'm 36, 250lbs and need to get back down to 170. It's gonna be a long road but I'm getting married soon and refuse to buy a plus-size wedding dress!!! We can do this!!!!"


"I give it a 9 out of 10 only because it's kind of expensive, even with insurance, and insurance doesn't cover much of it. Take out the price, and it's a ten.

I've tried the 20mg, halves of 20mgs (10mg) and multiple doses of the 5mg. I'll just say this. No side effects to speak of and tons of fun. Takes away any worry that you won't be able to perform. If anything it brings you back to the time when you were 16 and had to jump into the pool so as not to embarrass yourself in public.

About the only way it has failed me... I don't have the desire to lug his and her's bathtubs out into the yard and hold hands (See commercials). Aside from that, phew, top-notch!"


"I got a prescription for trinessa about  5 months ago, mostly just to help with my acne, and so far so good. My breakouts last a shorter amount of time and are smaller in size. My period has also gotten shorter and lighter and I hardly get cramps at all. The only drawback is that in the first 2-3 months or so I would get dizzy, slight headaches, and a little more fatigued than usual. Other than that this pill works great. My acne hasn't completely gone away, but it does help."


"Went to the hospital during an asthma attack. I was only on albuterol, and it was not working during this episode. Long story short I got prescribed Singular. Made me feel very sleepy at first. I could barely get my College work done. After about two months I became very depressed from being so tired, and then became extremely thirsty. I drank two bottles of water every hour and could feel my lungs becoming irritated. I was drinking so much water I was getting nauseous. I then went to my MD and he told me to stop taking it. After three days my thirst went away. After about two weeks I felt myself again. Singular is now listed on my doctors chart under "Medicine allergies"."


"I have been happy with Nucynta. I have been using it for almost a year. I used hydrocodone/Lortab for almost 8 years & oxycodone/Percocet for about 4 months. The oxycodone made me feel awful. Always tired and stomach issues. I was fine on hydrocodone but I unfortunately built a tolerance after 8 years. I always avoided taking maximum dose but it got to a point where even the max dose wasn't helping and I was very concerned about the Tylenol mix on my liver. I do take milk thistle to try to repair and avoid liver damage. I have had drug addictions in my life, but never to opiates. I always have been very careful with my prescriptions not to take more than prescribed no matter how much the pain. I like that Nucynta feels very mild on the body."


"First time painful, still feel the rod in your arm for the first month but no more period. Negative part is gaining weight and breaking out a little."


"Finally, after a year and a half of trying 16 other brands of blood pressure medicines, my doctor prescribed Tekturna HCT.  It works.  I feel great.  I have to take a potassium supplement to prevent leg cramps, but all in all it's the best one I've tried - with no adverse side effects."


"I have been taking Avaparo 300/day for 8 years and it has consistently controlled my blood pressure within acceptable ranges with minimal side effects. Some light-headedness after taking first thing in the morning. Overall I rate it great."


"I was given Valium first and I took  pain pills at home about 6 hours before the surgery-Norco was all I took.

Then right before they wheeled me into the operating room (so they said), I got that versed IV, and a combination block which was administered via a teeny tiny wire inserted in the inner/upper thigh area-kept my leg NUMB completely for 4 days after that Total Knee replacement-and the VERSED left me with absolutely NO RECOLLECTION of what the surgeons did to my knee.  FABULOUS!

Severe pain when the nerve blocking wire was removed-morphine IV drip and additional shots via the IV port helped. "


"This medicine is not to be taken lightly.  It helps very much. "


"Soma worked great then that doctor would not take my insurance. So got another doctor and he would only give me Flexeril or baclofen and both absolutely do nothing. I have a herniated disc and get muscle spasms in low back and buttocks they are hard as rock. This medicine with Vicodin does help but it does make you very sleepy and dizzy so be careful driving."


"I can't take oral hormones due to migraines.  I have also never had children.  Had the copper IUD inserted when I was 25.  Had no problems with it.  Switched to Mirena after 5 years.  My periods are always between 28 and 32 days.  I did not have any troubles with insertion and only took Advil before the appointment.  I have had no weight gain, no negative effects at all.  I did not have any coverage and have spent over $1000 on IUD's...completely worth it."


"I've been on Concerta XL for 3 years now I have two large (36mg the highest dose for my age) every morning. I suffer from ADHD well ADD and it really helps me feel motivated and helps me look forward to things. I lost 4 ish stone and went from 16.7 stone to 12 in 4 years as my adhd made me eat when I was bored/sad/happy and It really ruined my life. I don't have an appetite anymore and only eat in the afternoon once it's worn off. I do drink a lot of fluids as on the tablets I get thirsty. I'm more social and i enjoy everyday activities a lot more including chores. Negatives : the come down is awful and I usually slip into a depression but it is worth it ! I'd recommend it to anyone !"


"I take Vicodin for back pain and it does take the edge off."


"Horrifying. Gave me side effects that mimicked a stroke. Lost my ability to write or make sense of computer keyboards and phone dialpads. Drooling, stuttering, slurring, walking sideways, walking into walls. A nightmare from hell."


"I have had grand-mal seizures since age of 15.  Around 32 I started having partial seizures only I didn't know that's what they were till I read a pamphlet in my Drs office.  They put me on Vimpat, which at first did not help with the dizziness I was already feeling from the partial seizures, but after about a year now the dizziness has definitely slowed and I only have partial seizures when I'm overly, overwhelmed, or stressed.  It doesn't help with my grand-mal seizures which I have at least 1-2 every month. I have noticed weight gain, and memory loss which I had before the medication, and hair loss, and tingling in my limbs, but if I drink more water it helps with the tingling. As for the hair loss I take biotin and that has helped."


"Four kids and myself all infested. Used Sklice. Nurse practioner said I didn't

have to comb out nits. The directions said do not comb out nits. Needless to say this DID not work. I have tried OTC did not work. I have gone to a lice clinic and used their home products. Still waiting for results. Keeping my fingers crossed."


"I've had IBS-D for over 25 years, I've had many embarrassing moments over the years and the disease has limited my lifestyle most of the time. Immodium helps but not always, I finally got the point where I could not deal with this anymore, there are things I want to do that I can't because I've always got to be near a bathroom. I finally got a referral to a digestive health clinic to get this figured out. After many tests and conversations with the doc we settled on some diet changes and this new drug Viberzi. I've only taken the drug for a few days, but I am already seeing great results, I hope they continue for a long time. I'm not having the urgency I had before, I'm down to one BM a day now and feeling much better."


"Wellbutrin XL has been great for me. I have been on it for a few months and have completely noticed the difference in my lifestyle and my libido. My doctor was giving me samples of the brand name but she ran out and my insurance wouldn't cover the brand.  My Copay for the brand was $1300.00   I could NOT afford that so she reluctantly put me on the generic. It was HORRIBLE. Worst experience of my life. Worst side effects ever. Luckily I came across another Pharmacy and they fill your Wellbutrin brand name for $50 a month. It's been great! Back on Wellbutrin and feeling amazing!!"


"I had two large ovarian cysts that were extremely painful and put me in the ER. My Dr. Prescribed me Mononessa and I just finished my first pack. I had an ultrasound today and one cyst was completely gone and the other is much smaller. After only 3 weeks on this pill I haven't experienced the pain from my cysts anymore. The only thing is that for the first week on the pill I was extremely nauseous. It also seems that as of right now my acne is almost completely gone."


"I had extreme pain during intercourse and also experienced severe atrophy.  The Estring provided a miracle solution.  I have had no side effects, except a little weight gain. My vagina seems to be more lubricated and intercourse is no longer painful.  I am wondering if it is okay to go in a hot tub and take hot baths with it.  I have not found the answer to this question anywhere."


"This cream is awesome, my daughters arms look beautiful. I used it twice a day for about 3 days and her arms cleared up."


"I started taking Pristiq yesterday. Immediate nausea and tired, been up since 1am. Hope this medicine works because everything and everyone has been getting on my nerves. Even my grand kids which is not normal for me because they are my life. Do not take anything else with Pristiq. Maybe I can give a higher rating in a couple of weeks."


"I have been addicted to opiates for over 10 yrs. and I have been through many horrible withdrawals.  After getting my habit over $150 per day I had had enough.  I decided to get on Suboxone.  I was prescribed 8mgs per day and this went on for over a year when my doc suddenly shut his practice down.  I decided this is the time for me to get off.  Well I found myself in the ER and the doc prescribed .1 mg clonidine.  It was a GODSEND!  It helped so much with the chills, sweats, crying, etc.  It does make you very drowsy but it makes the detox tolerable.  I was able to sleep and eat during the detox while on Clonidine.  I used Xanax at night also to help with sleep.  Clonidine helps big time!"


"For me Aczone worked better than anything else I have tried. I have cystic hormonal breakouts on my chin and jawline. I feel that it works very quickly and helps to prevent new acne from forming with twice daily use. It has no side effects and is non-drying."


"I started using Nuvaring back in 2010 after trying many different birth control pills. I gained around 7 pounds, wanted to sleep all the time and lost completely my sex drive. I had to stop using because the last 6 months I started experiencing severe migraines. So, the only good part about is that Nuvaring didn't make me feel angry or in a bad mood all the time like the other pills I've tried before."


"I have been taking Ativan for a few days while I wait for Lexapro to kick in. It has been a life saver. It has allowed me to eat and sleep, which has been huge in this fight against anxiety. It really helps mellow me out and take the edge off."


"I've had this IUD in for about two weeks now. The insertion process was pretty uncomfortable, but there were only about 3 big cramps that just felt like bad period cramps. The entire process took about 5 minutes and I was able to get up and drive myself home immediately after. I took 3 Ibuprofen prior to coming in and that helped keep the cramps at bay for a while, but you will experience cramps for the first couple of days. They just feel like period cramps, no worse. The only negative thing I've noticed so far is an increase in acne where my skin was pretty clear beforehand especially around my chin and I've also been getting headaches every day since I've had the IUD inserted. Will update in 2 more weeks."


"October 2008, I got my Implanon in. Since then, I have gained over 40 pounds! I have no sex drive. But it does it's job so... oh and I'm moody."


"Belviq, by day 7, has already changed my world.  I am already feeling better, less hungry, and motivated to lose my extra 50+ lbs of weight.  You simply MUST give this med a try!!!"


"I have been suffering with constipation for the better part of ten years. Doc started me on trulance about a week ago and I've had a bowel movement everyday. I would recommend this drug to anyone."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Today I'm having my first colonoscopy. Yesterday I mixed it with water and orange gatorade. The taste was terrible. Last night, I decided to chill the bottle in the fridge. A few minutes ago I had my second bottle. After each gulp of the Suprep I swished ginger ale around my mouth then spit it out. This way was so much better for me. The ginger ale kills the horrid after taste. Hope this helps :)"


"I got a UTI a month ago. I went to a clinic and they prescribed Macrobid and it did little to nothing for my UTI. I then went to my uni campus clinic and they prescribed the same thing (I didn’t know they were the same thing at the time because this time it was the generic version so it had a different name) and again it did nothing. I was so frustrated and in so much pain  so finally I went back for a 3rd time and they prescribed me Bactrim and within a couple hours I already felt SO much better. The bactrim did more in a few hours than the Macrobid did in 2 weeks. I did get mild nausea and some fatigue but that’s it. Take it with food and yogurt to prevent this!"


"While it doesn't take away all the pain it has helped with the tiredness and the feeling that I was wearing a lead suit.  I still have bad days but so far I am pleased with this medication.  It has helped me more than any other medication that I have tried."


"I started using Nuvaring a month ago. I'm normally very dull when it comes to sex since giving birth to my son. Nuvaring changed that. I'm always wanting sex now, my husband loves it. No breakouts and we don't feel it during sex and I can just live a regular life. I don't see any weight gain but I believe it's too early to know. My only side effect I dislike is the nausea."


"Had mild symptoms that a yeast infection was forming after just getting over an excruciating UTI.  I wanted to get it handled quickly, so I chose the 1 day option.  I had the cottage cheesy discharge along with some thick, white goop.  No foul odor. No itching, just soreness and discomfort. Before using the product I did a home swab test and it was candida, not bacterial. Always test before using this product.  Yes, after a few hours there is some burning and itching, but I bought the pack with wipes and cream included, definitely helps.  The level of pain you might feel is relative.  I do not find it any more painful than the hell I went through with the UTI.  In fact, it is tolerable. Use 3 or 7 day if the side effects will be a problem"


"I started Harvoni 10 days ago.  Feeling good in the morning and then I fizzle out.  By nightime, 8 p.m. I'm completely exhausted.  63 years old  but that's not that old.  Was told by the nurses who called to check on me, DRINK lots of water.   No antacids - if necessary 4 hrs before pill or 4 hrs. after the pill.  Not touching them.  No upset stomach, mild headache but the tiredness is a killer.  Told me to "hang in there" and believe me, I will!!  This has been a blessing.  Didn't even know I had Hep C and doc told me, you usually don't until something else goes wrong with you. Stick with it all you people ~ as difficult as it may seem.  Can't wait for blood test!!!  Even if its undetectable, was told you have to finish the treatment!!"


"Have trouble tolerating cholesterol meds so my doctor gave me a sample of Livalo.  The first day I took this drug I felt like I had consumed vast quantities of caffeine.  I slept poorly, felt depressed, and even had the shakes.  I really wanted to find a medication to reduce my cholesterol but the side effects of Livalo were just too prohibitive.  It is also very expensive.  Even with insurance, a 3-month supply was $125 and my insurance would not accept the drug manufacturer's coupon."


"54 years old ..chronic psoriasis for over 49 years. I've had all the treatments known and then some. This medicine is a God send. It's the only treatment that's ever truly worked and I can say I'm 100%. "


"Works alright but loses effectiveness over time, so i only take every now and then."


"I have severe neuropathy,  and I take a cocktail of pain medicines. This medicine is a very important link to fight pain so I can still go to work.  It is addictive and hard to kick, but I don't plan on kicking it anytime soon as I need too badly."


"So I got the Paragard inserted today at first I didn't think to have someone come with me but after reading all of the reviews, I quickly changed my mind. So as a result I brought my mother along with me and I'm grateful that I did, the actual insertion it self wasn't bad but the thing that pushes the cervix is breathtakingly pain/uncomfortable and that's coming from someone who has a very high pain tolerance. After the insertion I had really really bad cramps,I was told that I was in so much pain because I've never had a child. So beware, if you never gave birth, it will be pretty painful. I couldn't drive home due to the nausea and vomited a couple of times during the car ride. After the cramping levelled out,everything seems to be good."


"I have been on Arimidex since December.  I am experiencing locked up hands in the a.m. with pain; weakened grips and discomfort using the computer for my job.    Also,at times low back and sciatica pain.  I am considering changing medication."


"Have had severe muscle pain in my upper thighs that lasts for 3 or 4 days after taking my monthly dose. Also have heartburn."


"Started on Pristiq just over 2 weeks ago. I'm starting to feel less pain. Still a bit twitchy but definitely feeling better about life in general."


"I been on nexplanon going on 3 years in July I can  honesty say this is the worst  birth control ever please don't make the same mistake I made I suffer mood swings depression long period that last for 2 week maybe more my sex drive was so low,  I had anxiety attacks, bad acne,  yeast infection and weight gain.  This birth control will make u so mean and grumpy the only good thing about this product is you can't get pregnant unless it is inserted  incorrectly in your arm. Out of all the stuff I have gone through I never gotten pregnant so it does it job. But who want to put up with the horrible side effects? but everybody body different "


"I have used Stelara now for 8 months. After years of anguish, defeat, pain( physically and mentally) sadness, I feel freed from this terrible curse. My skin/joints looks but mainly FEELS so much better. My quality of life has sky rocketed! Your initial ground work obtaining Doctor appointments, TB testing and establishing the right dosage that is effective for you and receiving assistance helping with cost. Once you get through those things... I guarantee it IS worth it!! DO IT!"


"This medicine has been a game changer for me. I stopped stress eating and lost weight, my mood stabilized and I have been incredibly productive and achieved great things on it. It does wonders for my anxiety. I have been on it for a year and could not be happier with the product. It is expensive but WORTH it! Highly recommend."


"I have had problems with IBS for several years I was on Amitiza and one of my physicians took  me off it I was off for 5 years started having severe problems with my IBS again my new doctor GI doctor put me back on it and it is a God sent I am back regular again I give this medicine at 10 I have no side effects and I love it thank you"


"Before getting on Microgestin Fe 1/20, I was on Yasmin.  I never had any problems with Yasmin, although my period was slightly heavier than desirable.  I have been on Microgestin now for four months and literally go through 2 full period cycles in a row each month.  It is awful and inconvenient.  My doctor actually put me on the pill because of the reports of shorter periods.  I know that all bodies react differently, but be cautious of this problem, if you do not want to chance it.  I have also experienced severe mood swings, but I cannot discredit it regarding actual birth control.  Just remember to take it at the same time, daily."


"I've been on the Xulane patch for a year now. When I first started it everything was great. My periods got lighter, I had a moderate libido, I wasn't nauseous at all and had almost zero negative effects. After about four/five months of use I started getting morning sickness after having my period and putting the patch back on. Now I also have unusual chest pain, back and neck pain all in one and my mood swings are crazy. my periods have also gotten heavier and my cramps worse than when I first started. I tried switching to the progestin only pill but because of the dramatic hormone level change, I was not able to use this very long. Five stars for Xulane because it's done its job at not getting me pregnant."


"It is my first duagnozed yeast infection. I went to doctor after one mild and two extremely itchy nights( itch started on Saturday and I saw the doctor on Tuesday).
I decided to wait for a few days before using the medication, and although itching was never as bad as night 2 & 3 I decided to try the medication as my quality of life was going down and my days consumed by this matter and I was having a bit of discharge although I had none at the beginning.
I started medication exactly one week after I first felt itching. I was prescribed 7 nights of taro terconazole 0.4% and two doses of fluconazole -150 ( one tablet to be taken 14 days later).
This combination has worked for me and now 13 days from day 1 of itching I feel completely normal"


"I never have done a drug review in my life, so I am literally doing this because I want other people to know how horrible this is. Started getting symptoms of a YI so I wanted to take the easy way out and got the 3 day cream. Within SECONDS of inserting the cream my vagina was burning SEVERELY. I tried to wait it out and see if it would subside but I couldn't take it anymore so I went in the shower and tried to wash as much out as I could. Needless to say, it's 1:15 am (work at 8) and still burning and irritated. The one thing that helped a little was using the "comfort wipes" that comes with the cream. DO NOT USE THIS STUFF !!!!!!!"


"I haven't taken any BC in 5 years since the birth of my daughter. Before that I was on ortho tri-cyclen which was great and I never had any symptoms. My doc recommended Reclipsen since it's the same amount of hormones each day and the other one I mentioned has different hormone levels each week. I've been on this pill a total of 2 weeks and I feel nauseous, no appetite, exhausted, stomach cramps, boobs are sore, and weak. I get a weird chest pain sometimes and my anxiety is crazy high. I also feel so moody. Everything bothers me and sometimes I feel like I can't breathe. My face has been breaking out more than when I wasn't taking the pill. I AM NOT TAKING THIS PILL ANYMORE ! I barely feel bad side affects like this with medications."


"Absolutely terrible!!! I've been on many oral birth control pills and this is one of the worst. My mood swings are so intense, zero sex drive, and I am snapping over little things. I am switching back to gildess fe ASAP!!! 10000% better"


"I started taking fentanyl after trying every other opiates available and finally found relief. I'm on the 25mcg patch. I'm in the 36 hour right now on the first pass and so far it's perfect and surprisingly has my pain on a 9 out of 10 taken care of with breakthrough medicines. I felt the patch when I finally slept in for once this morning without having to wake up to the pill schedule. "


"Have been taking Trospium for 4 years, visits to the toilet have decreased to 5-6 visits in each 24 hr period. In my case it has not taking the feeling of needing to urinate away entirely but is more bearable and with will power and bladder training it has worked. Sometimes feels like I can't empty my bladder entirely but though this is frustrating it is not as bad as having to use the bathroom every hour or so"


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


"I had abdominal surgery and Percocet was my best friend for almost 2 weeks.  I switched to 800 mg ibuprofen to ensure that I did not develop addiction to the percocet."


"i had the bar placed in on may of 2014, since then ive had extremely bad depression which i had to go on medication for. and when i got on the birth  control i weighed 90 pounds on the dot now i weigh 137 pounds and that weight is the hardest to lose. but with that said i go the bar placd in for free from my school health center, i haven't had my period at all, and this form of birth control works really good. my side effects wont be the same as everyone else. but i highly recommend the bar. i rather have the extra weight for the three years rather than a child to take care of for 18 ."


"Have been taking Dexedrine spansules (10 mg) for over 2 years,three times per day.I never knew i had rank ADHD all my life,problems with school,the law,i am 47,and have noticed my ambition for life has increased,having more energy,i used to be tired alot,complaining,generally overall agitated at the same time,as well i have many comorbidies to deal with,but fortunately,don't have to take any anxiety meds. Dexedrine is all i know,and i am satisfied with the results."


"My 12 years old son started Vyvanse 30mg more than one month ago. He is happy with the result in school. But what bothers me is he is kind of in slow motion especially in school (the teachers reported that)."


"I've been using Loryna for about 4 years and it has done wonders for my acne. I used to have cystic acne all over my face and I haven't have cystic acne in several months. I think I only had one flare up over the past year and a half. I was planned to go on Accutane, so glad I didn't. Haven't gotten pregnant either. Win win!"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I was at a convention in Palm Springs when I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.  Could not breathe, excruciating pain, scared to death.  When I got to the ER my heart was beating at 180 beats per minute.  The doctors told me the only thing that probably saved me from having a stroke was that I was already on Coumadin as I have a genetic blood disorder, factor 5 Leiden which means I will be on Coumadin for the rest of my life.  My doctors are so cautious that they actually had a bird's nest inserted into my vena cava just in case a clot were to ever break lose.  I have never had problems in the 6 years I have been on Coumadin.  My INR is always at 2.5 which is considered perfect since my target range is between 2.0 and 3.0."


"I've taken Fiorinal for about a year, initially it was great.  One pill would totally knock out a headache. Little drowsy for about 30 minutes and I was good to go. Started having to increase the the number of times I take it about 4 months ago, started having abnormal vaginal bleeding; my doctor thinks it's the aspirin and the fact that I've had to take more. Aspirin is a blood thinner. I switched to Fioricet, same drug, but replaces the asprin with Tylenol. Back to normal now. Try Fioricet if Fiorinal dosen't work for you."


"I take it in the morning and with the help of my Dr. my numbers have been stable."


"I used this cream a long time ago and was very happy. It's pretty expensive, costs me about $150. My Pharmacy was able to get me a voucher. I stopped using because it was so expensive and started using other hair removal products. I'm fair skinned and the OTC products burned my face so bad. I eventually went back to the Vaniqa. A tube usually lasts me for 3  months so I figured the cost was reasonable compared to other products I used. I have read some bad reviews so I guess everyone is different. I start Vaniqa daily but just once a day in the evening before bed. I apply pretty much on my entire lower face and neck area. I'm really hairy and although they are blonde it looks terrible. I love this product really works for me."


"Took 3 tablets at 11,  woke up at 3am with extreme abdominal pain.  Ran to toilet and remained there for 1.5 hours writhing in pain with diarrhea and vomiting.  Had to call in sick to work and am still feeling unwell nearly 24 hrs later.  Throwing out the rest of the packet."


"My doctor put me on this hoping it would help a chronic cough that I have had for the past four months. While I think it is helping, the side effects are just too strong for me. I take the medication at night since it makes me tired but the sleepiness lasts all day. However I am not getting much sleep because I keep having strange dreams that wake me up all night long. On top of that, I have started to have anxiety. "


"This medication knocked me out every night and so it was great to catch up on years of sleep debt.  Overall, a very positive experience.  However, like other users, I slowly gained 10-20 pounds over the course of taking doxepin. I stopped taking it in the last couple of months, and suddenly, my appetite significantly decreased and weight just started dropping off. I had no idea that the medication caused this increased appetite/weight gain. Honestly I thought I was just growing older and my metabolism was changing. I'm glad I took this medication for insomnia, and also that the side effect of weight gain faded away as soon as I stopped taking it. Overall, the value of the sleep I gained far outweighed the con of the weight I gained."


"I have been completely amazed at how fast and how completely Mobic took my pain away.  I am now able to resume activities I had had to stop before taking it."


"Got the shot in my hip last night for an infection in the lymph nodes in my neck. I felt a little better, but it made me even more sore and sensitive in my shoulders and chest afterwards. Now it's been a full day and all the pain is back, the only thing that isn't is the dizziness. So far, no real difference."


"I've ALWAYS had irregular periods, ever since I started. I was sent to the ER twice for severe anemia and heavy bleeding. That lead me to have in total of 10 blood transfusions. It was a complete nightmare and I couldn't allow that to happen anymore. So the doctors put me on Necon 1/50. This is my first time ever being on birth control, I was scared...reading about terrible stories and all the side effects. I was very hesitant but, I did it and I'm so glad I did!! I'm currently on week 3 and have NO SIDE EFFECTS!! Well, the classic PMS but nothing severe. Waiting on period week to make a full assessment, but so far so good. Will continue this pack and plan on lowering the dose next month."


"Give it a full 3 months!!! I had severe hormonal acne + pustules all over my face, specifically on my cheeks and jawline, when I got prescribed yaz. The first month was absolutely terrible and I broke out all over my forehead, back and chest... I was literally scared to leave the house. In the second month, it was just as bad but new pimples weren't surfacing as often. Month 3: I had small pimples on my face and everywhere else had cleared up, but it wasn't till the end of my 3rd pack that my face cleared up completely. I'm now in the middle of month 4 and my face is completely clear!!!! I can go out in public without makeup and finally feel confident! Also, I have experienced no side effects except bigger boobs lol"


"Not a huge fan. Had it inserted about 7 months ago and I'm STILL bleeding. Made me extremely moody for a few months as my body was getting used to it. I bleed every time I have sex and I find sex painful."


"So i have tried prozac for depression to major depression disorder a little bit of obsessive compulsive disorder and post traumatic disorder.Firstly it made me more anxious and agitated about a month later me and my dr upped the dose to 40mg.Nothing,unfortunately happened,probably wasn't the right drug for me,i have switched to lexapro now and it is too soon to give opinion on it as ive only been for 3 weeks.In conclusion this drug (Prozac) wasn't effective for me.Only about 3/10 i would say."


"I'm 22 years old and have had depression for 9 years. I've tried Celexa, Paxil, Zoloft, and Xanax, but nothing has helped me better than Cymbalta. The first time I took it I threw up, and had no appetite for about 4 days. But the second day of taking it, I could tell it was working. I could focus more, I could smile more, I could go out in public and not panic. And T.V shows that I'd seen before and didn't think was funny, I now watched and laughed at! Cymbalta has completely changed my life. I've been taking 60mg a day for 2 weeks now and I can't remember ever being this happy and hopeful. It's very expensive if you don't have insurance, but there are organizations out there that will help you out with your prescriptions."


"So this is my second week in contrave take one tablet twice daily. When I started this drug I was 170 pounds. I weighed my self this morning and I was at 167. So about 3 pounds this first week. Thankfully I have not experienced insomnia yet but I have been nauseous. I can only eat once a day and if I eat more than that I end up puking it back up so there isn't a point in me trying to eat more than that. I'm hoping that I am able to start exercising soon because I have not been able to do so due to a torn tendon in my ankle."


"This medication worked immediately lowering my Blood Glucose. I was only on it for about 1 week (free samples from Physician). Then the Pharmacy called and said my Excellent insurance doesn't cover it. Out of pocket cost $430/ 30 day supply - No Can Do ! Switched to Invocana instead. Farxiga apparently works with no side effects (I'm a guy), but no insurance coverage for drug."


"Mold, grass, oak, ash, cedar all give me fits (mold in particular).  Two meds control it all effectively (Clarinex -- brand name only -- and Veramyst) but formularies from the Govt took them away.  I'd hoped Azelastine would work for me.  If continued allergies, burning nasal passages, headaches, constant dripping nose and runny eyes are the intended outcome, then ....  So, I'm headed back to my allergist (EENT) to try something else."


"I take this for neck shoulder pain & pinched nerve.  Great med when taking regularly but my doctor won't refill again until I go see him for a checkup. I started trying to not take as much or sometimes none. Having pain in my teeth and head. Have no idea what is going on but wonder if this med makes you worse when getting off of it. Does it make your nerves more sensitive? I will go for that checkup soon."


"I've been taking this medication for under 6months now and I have gained 10lbs while taking this drug. I don't feel like I have increased energy than before like some other people described. I feel more irritable & anxious at times, still can't sleep at night. I get the dry mouth side effects and occasional constipation.  I'm taking 300mg XL once a day. I am getting more depressed with gaining weight on this drug! I was taking Lexapro before & didn't find it help me feeling less depressed & experience  alot of nightmare or weird dreams while taking Lexapro!"


"Since my last post I have continued to have all the amazing benefits of Cialis 5mg without any side effects at all. I have now tried taking the medicine daily, every second day, with no loss of potency, and my own routine of Day 1 am, Day 2 pm, Day 3 skip, Day 4 as Day 1 etc.  If I take daily as prescribed I have noticed that the very best time of day to take it is lunchtime, so the very hardest erections occur at evening and morning bedtimes.  Yes it's expensive but I am very happy with it and will continue taking it. Absolutely Transformational!"


"Works great on my back spasm and you can really tell when they start to wear off."


"When I was around 17 I started having severe stomach pain and reflux. I went through multiple test and many medications that did not stop the reflux nor the pain. I got to the point I was unable to eat anything without difficulty. I finally went to a GI specialist that found I had a condition that caused by a virus in my system that had caused my white cell to attack my stomach and ended up eating the nerve endings in my stomach and that was causing severe GERD. He placed me on Dexilant and this helped to control the pain and the reflux so I was able to start living a normal life for a 18 year old going off to college. My mother had to fight with insurance many times to have it covered and even now they still threaten to stop. Miracle drug."


"my updated I wrote on here before.... well I been taking Provera from February til June my periods always come on time or a day early it was making my cycle  day 30-32-33  but now I supposed to get my period now it not coming on I'm on day 5 off the pill and that when it come on early in the morning but nothing

I thought I was clear of pregnancy I  DD 10 days before my next period with  was about 3 weeks after my last period .

."


"I've been taking this for about 2 months now. No pregnancy. But, my acne is absolutely awful...in turn I feel awful. I feel like my immune system isn't as great as it used to be and I feel tired all the time. I really hope what everyone else is saying is true! I'm giving it another couple months and if I don't see any changes I'm making a switch."


"I'm writing this from a hospital bed. Got a severe yeast infection within the first week, that turned into a worse infection.  I was almost septic, still won't know if I have to have surgery."


"This is what happen to me. On September 8th I used Bydureon Pen for the first time. Injection site use close to navel area as instructed. Produced one large bump that never went away. It is tender and can't sleep on stomach anymore. Have problems walking because it is too tender. Now will need operation to remove bump. Injection-site reactions. Serious injection-site reactions, with or without bumps (nodules), have happened in some people who use bydureon. Some of these injection-site reactions have required surgery. Call your healthcare provider if you have any symptoms of injection-site reactions, including severe pain, swelling, blisters, an open wound, or a dark scab.
Don't use this medication."


"I have bursitis in both hips that developed prior to back surgery. The pain is bearable during the day, but at night, I wake up with pain because I'm a side sleeper.  I started using Salonpas gel and, I have been able to sleep through the night without waking.  I get cortizone injections when needed, but when I can't get an appointment quick enough, this is fantastic!  And for roughly $8.00 at Walmart... you can't beat it!"


"I had an abscess on my upper gum resulting from terrible dentist work. I had also been prescribed amoxicillin 500mg, however after a week of taking amoxicillin the pain/swelling did not go away it got noticeably worse. However after taking my first full dose of Keflex swelling reduced and gradually faded out by the time my dosage was complete. Would highly recommend Keflex."


"I have taken amitriptyline for 3 months for IBS. I take 20mg at night and 10mg in morning. I cannot believe how well I feel. I put a little weight on but can now make arrangements to go out and not have to cancel due to the IBS."


"This has been the only drug I have been prescribed that has actually helped with my migraines. I have been on it for a couple of years now and it is not as effective for me as it once was and the side effects sometimes make me feel off for the rest of the day, but I have always thought that the side effects were better then the pain of the migraine. It is the only one that that has worked for me so my go to drug."


"I've been on Buspirone for about six months for anxiety. I take 10 mg twice a day. It has done absolutely nothing for me. I might as well be taking a sugar pill."


"Hello ladies! Your reviews have been so helpful and is giving me hope! I was on birth control for years then finally got off.. My cycles have been irregular every since.. So I was put back on birth control just to have a cycle.. Me and my husband are trying to conceive so I went to the doctor to have an ultrasound did on me to check my ovaries and that's when I found out I have PCOS.. My doctor started me on Metformin.. I started taking it on 06/20/15.. The symptoms started immediately! Really bad cramps and MAJOR diarrhea.. I haven't been taking it for a week yet and I'm not to stop but right now I don't like the feeling. But my doctor said this helps with me trying to have a baby.. So hopefully good news soon :)"


"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 drank the prep down in 4 gulps followed immediately by 2 16oz glasses of water.  The water helped clear the taste away.  The taste is sickly sweet with a strong bitter after taste - but not even close to making me gag or anything.  It took 1.5 hours before my first trip to the bathroom.  After that I went about 4-5 more times.  Next morning I took the second dose.  This time it kicked in quicker - about 45 mins.  Colonoscopy itself was no big deal because you're anethestized and don't remember or feel anything when it's done.  My colon was clean.   I had the colonoscopy because I turned 50 and last year a good friend was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer - he's in remission but took a real beating with the surgery & chemo."


"This medicine has changed my life. I'm a nurse with primary Sjogren's Syndrome. It took 10 years for a diagnosis and another 10 years for a rheumatologist to prescribe Plaquenil. I have never felt so good.  Minimal joint point, lots of energy, able to sleep at night, what could be better!  I was able to complete an eye exam for the first time in 9 years.  I'm enjoying life pain free and with energy!"


"I have social anxiety disorder and depression. I never knew how unhappy and stressed I was until I started taking Zoloft early in the year. The drug did wonders for me. It brought out such happiness and a zest for life that I had not felt in a very long time. I began to exercise and eat right and as a result I lost a lot of weight. However, I stopped taking Zoloft mid year because my wife and I are trying to have another baby and it might affect fertility. A few weeks ago I got back on Zoloft for some anxiety I was feeling. I have done one week at 25 mg and the following two weeks on 50, but my anxiety is through the roof and I'm very depressed. I hope it starts to work again, I'm really anxious and praying I get my calm back."


"I have been taking tramadol 50mg, and 300mg ER for approximately three years for extreme RLS.  I am at the maximum daily dose of 400mg. Over the past several months, I have been experiencing some daytime, and nighttime symptoms of RLS.  I have had the symptoms of RLS for approximately 40 years.  Both parents had RLS although neither were ever officially diagnosed.  I have been medicated for my RLS symptoms for approximately 20 years.  I have been prescribed everything imaginable during that timeframe, and always end up with the same results of augmentation.  I am so sick of this!  There is no quality of life when your symptoms begin to augment.  You can't ride in a car, plane, train, or do anything that confines your movement!"


"Dried up the acne after a few months, though side effects during the 12 wk treatment included nosebleeds, peeling lips, sore feet and joints. Worth it though, still get the odd spot, but feel normal again and don't hide away from the world anymore."


"My muscle spasms in my spine were caused by injury.  They have gotten worse with age.  BUT, I had Doctors who listened.  I cannot take "pain" pills or even NSAIDS.  And because of the injury to my head, aspirin in large doses.  Valium was prescribed by three Neurologists-but in low doses.  The reviews I have read that are negative to Valium have the patients taking doses WAAAY to high.  They are creating zombies.  I take 6 Mg. a DAY--and it works and I have live with this spine pain--on a cane--for many years.  They cannot "cure" it, but Valium has made it possible for me to stay out of a wheelchair.   The Doctors who overprescribe are CREATING a problem for the patient.  It is a very effective medication, cheap and very mild side effects."


"I've been using this for about 2 and a half weeks now, I initially broke out significantly but now that has calmed down along with my acne in general. I do still get some small zits here and there but they quickly subside or stay very small. My skin also peeled a lot and has dried up but I can see that gradually improving as well. The scarring has gotten slightly better but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far overall."


"Been taking 20mg per day of Lexapro for 15 months now. Was diagnosed with anxiety and slight depression. Would have panic attacks and hyperventilate. Took about 4 weeks to see full effect. Was given Klonopin as needed until Lexapro kicked in. It has made me feel so much better. I have not had a panic attack in a year. I can actually get out of bed in the morning now. At first it would make me very tired when I took it but that stopped after a few months. It made a huge difference in my life. Did not really have any side effects. A little weight gain but I would rather have that then have panic attacks."


"I have been on Cymbalta 30mg for just under 2 weeks. After the first 3 days I started feeling a lot better. It was slightly scary actually to go from feeling like your world is imploding to feeling like you want to smell and see every flower on the planet. It happened so fast. Yes there were a lot of initial side effects from getting used to the medicine. I had the shakes, weird slowing down, odd feelings, nausea, etc. but I am doing very well on it. I went on diet again having gained 25kg from being in Lexapro and Seroquel for over a 18 months. But I now have a low dose of Seroquel every night and Cymbalta every morning and I am back to feeling great. "


"I had inserted Mirena almost 4 months ago. I experienced heavy bleeding about 2 weeks after I got it and everyday after that up until the 2nd month. It started off heavy and gradually lightened up but the heavy bleeding lasted almost a month and it was everyday. The doctor that inserted it said this was normal and the further from insertion date I got it would get better. I've found this to be true. I am happy with Mirena."


"This birth control is probably the best one. It's the first one I tried and I love it. No side effects AT ALL. I am exactly the same as when I was not on it. I have now been on it for 2 months and it has been perfect. Definitely recommend it!"


"I'm a college student and its 930 am and I'm supposed to be in class, but because of the intense burning and itching after using this product I cannot bear to get up and go. Literally in bed trying not to cry. I've had yeast infections before and I don't ever remember having this kind of reaction to medicine! Going to the walk in clinic soon as I can stand to drive to figure out what to do next because I can't afford a day off from school and work!"


"I'm 39 years old height is 5 "4"  and I have been on Adipex for a month now and this medicine works. Before I weighed 19lbs and now I'm down to 181lbs. I haven't started going to the gym yet. I just watch what I eat. I take half of the tablet everyday around 10:30am. Yes I experience dry mouth but that helps in drinking lots of water. I had jitters the first week and that is gone now. It didn't bother me at all because I have a set goal. I just joined the gym and will be starting next week. I will update you after a week in the gym...Good Luck to all."


"Piece of cake. Took first bottle at 6pm. Chugged it. Very slight gag reflex but kept it together.  I have paid more, in a bar, for stuff that tastes far worse.  Gurgling started 15 minutes later. Bathroom after half hour. Mostly done in 2 hours. Felt slightly feverish and had slight headache. No problems going to bed. Set alarm for 3am for second dose. Over slept. Took second dose at 4am. TIP:  have a water chaser. Second dose was much easier. Flow much less. Pretty much done by 6:30. The procedure was a piece of cake. I rolled over, they gave me meds and I awoke 30 mins later.  Doctor said great results. Next one in 10 years. An hour later I was enjoying corned beef hash, two eggs over easy and toast."


"These pharmaceutical companies need to figure out ways to engineer better medications. I went on cymbalta for about 8 months after a long struggle with anxiety. I had mild depressive episodes as well, but it didn't really bother me and mostly came as a result of having bad anxiety that I felt I couldn't control. Cymbalta was great at first, I seemed to actually lose a little weight (didn't need to but any girl likes to see that) and I had a great mood much of the time. However, I started noticing that it wasn't doing anything for my actual anxiety. It started making me gain weight, I was too tired from the medicine to go the gym, and had a hard time even making it to the library to study (I'm a college student)."


"I took Alupent for years.  Worked okay but drug was discontinued because manufactured wouldn't convert to new propellant in April of '09.  Got prescription for Albuterol and within days was in hospital with acute bronchospasm.  Every treatment the hospital gave me with Oxygen and Albuterol caused my lungs to shut down.  This is apparently rare, but if it isn't working for you, yell, loudly. I am currently on Maxair - works okay."


"3 colonoscopy -this prep was actually a very good experience. The only reason I did not give it a 10 was that the prep is nasty-tasting, but not horrific.First dose worked in less than 30 min and after about 4 trips to toilet I was done. Chills but no cramps. That cleaned me out so second dose at 5 am was easier. Hydrated (gatorade) and low fiber diet the week before helped,"


"Did not get pregnant so it did its job but other than that my body does not like this pill. Maintained normal weight during use, in fact lost weight. Broke out with painful zits occasionally. Extremely moody. Mood swings were the worst I have ever experienced on any birth control I have ever taken. Started fights out of nowhere with boyfriend and almost ended our relationship. Took 4 months for me to realize that this was the cause so I am switching back to Lutera. "


"I've been on this pill for 3 months and started experiencing the worst acne that I've ever had in a long time. I was taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo prior to Loestrin24 and other than the price, it was great.  I decided to switch to a cheaper pill but this birth control does not control my acne.  I'm experiencing breakouts on my chin, cheeks and forehead.  I've since called my obgyn and have switched back to Ortho Lo which helps control my acne."


"I'm not sure what's causing the abnormal bleeding but been on period for 20 days. Stopped period one day and now bleeding again, this has never happened to me before when using any other birth control."


"Took 1 pill (150mg) and a few days later got terrible abdominal pain, testicular pain, headache and dizziness.

3 weeks later, I still have dizziness and minor testicular pain and swelling.

The side effects are worse than the original symptoms. I would avoid this drug. It should not be over the counter and should be prescription only."


"I have been taking temazepan for a couple years now. About a year ago my sister was commenting about taking a new medication that made her get up and eat at night without knowing.  I told her I did the same thing, I would wake up with food plates and a mess in my bed, one time my grandson asked me if I remember asking him if he wanted some of my toast with peanut butter and cake sprinkles on it.  When I woke up that morning I saw the plate on my stand and was wondering where that came from, anyway I asked my sister what medication made her do that and she said Temazepan, just like me.  Very strange, do not know what I will wake up in bed with the next morning, food that is."


"I started this on June 7th, was supposed to start a few days earlier, but after reading so many reviews, I was scared of the side effects.  I am woman, 5'5 weighed in at 195.5.  I go for my first 1 month weigh I'm down 7.5 lbs and experienced no side effects.  I had been on phentermine before although it comes off faster, I had terrible side effects from that drug. Belviq XR has suppressed my appetite.  I won't lie it doesn't take away your hunger, you have to eat sensibly.  I found for me I only take 1 pill a day, so I started taking it at 11:00 a.m. but my night I was really hungry.  The last week and half I started taking after lunch around 1:00.  Takes away my cravings for carbs and sweets and not as hungry for dinner."


"I started this medication August 27th 2010...a few days ago. I normally wouldn't tell anyone what I weigh, but I'll tell you all, 263 pounds. I'm 21 I have high cholesterol. I just decided one day that I had enough. So, I made the appointment at my local bariatric clinic. She gave me a combination of Phentermine and Phendimet, as well as a thyroid pill. The first day taking the medication was weird. Cold sweats, nervous but, I did day two and I felt just fine. A little headache, I'm not sure if it was medication that did it, or my lack of caffeine. I stopped drinking Dr.Pepper. I haven't taken it that long, only three days. But, I feel good and I am already eating better. I know when I am full. I hope this was helpful to someone."


"I am 21 years old was placed on this medicine for having high blood pressure and it being an estrogen free birth control. I was terrified or weight gain, spotting, and mood swings, all of which this shot is rumored to do. I have experience absolutely no bleeding since my first shot, got the second shot today and no weight gain (I do exercise daily). I have been somewhat emotional around the time of my normal period, but no more then usual. Overall I love the shot and having no period is a plus all around!"


"my experince is with the patches staying on,I put them on excatly as written, but they fall off by the middle of day, they dont stick very well,I make sure skin is dry,I have been told by friends to get the geniric band they stay on better,looks like I am going to have to try those,you would think as much as you have to pay for these they would stick to your skin better and stay on"


"Long story short--left hospital in continual pain labelled as anxiety only to return two days later. They found the clot thanks to CT with contrast. Had no problems with Lovenox at the hospital but during treatment someone decides to put me on Xarelto. I've been sick every day--felt as if I'm dying. Pleaded with hospital to switch medications now labeled a drug seeker--for seeking a different blood thinner? Pleaded with doctors and PCP & they're sticking with the Xarelto. I have a visible rash on my face & excruciating pain in limbs and back. After Spitting up blood & swollen tongue, discontinued. Tossed the medication. Was told to start back on the Xarelto. The problem isn't Xarelto. It's the doctors who refuse to listen to their patients."


"I've been taking Mononessa for about 4 years now. I have never once had a bad experience or side effect from it. Off of the pill, my periods were 9-11 days, came every 1-3 months, extremely heavy and with terrible cramps, to the point that I would miss class/work due to vomiting from the pain. Now, my periods last 3-4 days, I only use light tampons, I have very little cramping, have not gained a pound, and I've never had a pregnancy scare since starting it. I've even missed a pill here and there, and I have experienced no spotting or anything abnormal. My period is like clockwork - even down to the time of day it comes. 11 stars from me!!"


"I have suffered with hyperemesis with all my pregnancies. Its a horrible feeling not to be able to function at all. Zofran has worked wonders thru an IV while at the ER. I've had it many many times and its worked. HOWEVER the tablets do not work for me. They have never worked. For me they make matters worse and make me feel more nauseous, they give me a horrible headache and backpains. Im glad its helped others but it doesn't help me."


"If you cut back on the dosage you risk the chance of having seizures, even taking as prescribed over a long period of time because of the tolerance buildup. I have been in re-hab 4 times trying to get off of xanax. They give you valium, librium or ativan so you don’t have a seizure and then lower that dosage over 7-15 days and release you. But 3-7 days later your symptoms are going to be so bad it will drive you back to xanax which now you will probably have to buy on the street because they’re widely available unlike valium."


"I had been experiencing undiagnosed hypothyroidism symptoms for long time without really knowing what was going on: extreme fatigue, brain fogginess,mood swings, cold. I had been having my thyroid tested for years due to my mother having had a tumor and removal of hers and yet the dr's all kept telling me the levels were fine.
I went to an Integrative Dr and he prescribed for me. I've gradually worked up to taking 45 mg a day. 60mg was too much, headache, very painful and hardened breasts, really bad PMS type symptoms and the bloating!
My biggest issue is also the puffiness and inability to lose weight! Protein shakes, cardio exercise and strength training and nothing helps. It's so frustrating!"


"This medication has helped my back pain a great deal"


"I have used Copaxone off and on for about 5 years.  I don't like the injection sight reactions but they are small compared to some of the other treatments I have used.  I was on Tysabri and it was great.  I felt normal as before MS for about 2 weeks every month and 2 weeks waiting for the next infusion.  Due to Liver problems my Doctor recommended I go back on Copaxone but with injections every other day.  I have done this for 2 years and no relapse."


"I have took it four days ago. Doctors orders. Not working. I have major pain in my lower back when I have to go and then it goes away after a bowel movement. This has been  going on for a couple of months. The pain use to last five minutes...now it last longer.  I can't stand up straight when I have this pain."


"I have been on the pill since I was 16. Two years ago I was put on a new pill and I noticed I was super hormonal, angry, depressed, anxious, stressed, etc. It was horrible and took me a while of tracking my moods before I was convinced it was because of my birth control. I've had the Nexplanon for a month and it has been wonderful. I know a month isn't very long, but I noticed a difference in my attitude within the first week. I feel like I have energy again, I'm able to focus, I'm happy again, I'm me. I can't believe it took me almost 2 years to realize it was my birth control ruining my life. If you feel the way I did on the pill I highly recommend trying this out. It can't hurt to try."


"Finished taking this about 6 months ago, still only get a pimple on RARE occasions."


"took gianvi for about two years and felt it made me too emotional and not myself, but my skin was glowing. So I stopped taking it thinking my skin would be fine. After four ish months my skin was so gross and bumpy i told my geino i wanted new birth control for acne and she prescribed me tri sprintec. The pharmacy has given me tri prefivin and now tri nessa (bc theyre generics) this is my fourth month and my cystic acne has gotten worse. One day i forgot to take my pill and woke up the next morning with like 6 new cystic pimples on my forehead. I also have little bumps still on my face that are like little white heads especially all over my chin its terrible and looks dreadful in the sun. my chest and back are cleared but face is not."


"I have been using Amnesteem for 5 months now and I am about to turn 17. I have had many side effects but the results are so far good. Before I started taking Amnesteem I had a lot of acne mostly on my face and back, all of my face has cleared up but my back is not yet finished. Most of the side effects I had were, itchy skin, depression, chapped lips, feverish chills but nothing that I couldn't handle. My skin has been greatly affected by this medicine but in a good way. Lately I have been experiencing sore throat but is most likely not from the medicine. Even though I only have one more month of my Amnesteem left to go, I hope that it's the easiest one."


"This is the first birth control I've taken and it's been a over a year by now. My experience has been pretty good especially compared to a lot of the other reviews.

The first thing I noticed is that my periods are now way lighter. They usually last about 5-7 days when they previously lasted about  4-5 but that's not really a problem at all since it's mostly spotting here and there when I used to have a really heavy flow and painful cramps. My acne went away completely. No weight gain. The only cons I can think of is breast tenderness and my hair has a gotten a little thinner and greasier but you're advised to take vitamins with bc so I think that's why."


"Gabapentin alleviated my intense anxiety I was suffering 24/7 from peri-menopause. Before being prescribed Gabapentin, I was an emotional wreck.  It has also stabilized my moods."


"I haven't had an asthma attack since I started using Asmanex Twisthaler--nor have I had to use my Proventil for a flare-up.  I am taking this medication instead of Advair or Singular because I have osteopenia.  Asmanex does not deplete bone density as do some of the other medications for asthma."


"Wow, Flomax made my stone pass with one dose after 3 months of pain, worry, CAT scans, and the urologist thinking it was prostatitis. Wish they gave it to me in the ER in August! Stone was 8mm x 5mm, and got stuck in three places on the way down. Thank you Flomax!"


"I've been using psyllium fiber for several months. But after I suspended from using it my metabolic system seems to require more fiber input. I actually gained weight in a faster rate. Now I'm still taking fiber supplement but it helps only in maintaining my weight. Not anymore on losing some fat (i guess). I'm giving a try with Xenical in my hope to lose for at least 3 kgs. . Good luck to us!"


"I went from an occasional social smoker to going through a pack a day. I smoked a pack per day for at least 3 years and realized I couldn't afford it anymore in terms of my wallet and health. I tried several times but I couldn't make it through the second day. So, I decided to take Chantix. My doctor informed me that because of my age, I wouldn't necessarily HAVE to complete the 12 week program. I could smoke the first week and prepare myself for the quit date. By the end of that week, my stomach couldn't bare it anymore. I didn't WANT one. I would have the random urges up to 2 weeks later. I did not experience the depression or wild dreams. Chantix does not quit for you but serves more as a valuable tool for the process."


"Sumatriptan has changed my life. A migraine used to leave me down for the count for hours. Now within about 30 minutes, my migraines are completely gone. I have not experienced any side effects."


"I have ben taking Aptiom 800mg once daily for 2 months. So far I experience headaches and dizziness but I know it's the medicine so I live with it for now hoping that will all go away. I also take Vimpat 150mg twice daily with other problems that may or may not be associated with that medicine. Aptiom is great so far. It controls my Grand Mal seizures better than anything has in 35 years. My family tells me I have turned into Mr. Nice Guy over night. I'm having a good experience so far."


"Severe weight gain - 20lbs, worse acne, headaches daily, mood swings, anxiety and starving all of the time! I had previously been on Trisprintec and will be switching back to it."


"Got rid of my toenail fungus.  But I lost my sense of taste for 3 months.  Nasty drug."


"I have urticaria for more then 6 years. Finally I got this pill Allegra 180mg, finally works. I took about a week and my hives are really gone, and now I'm finally happy and I don't feel any side effects at all. "


"I have suffered from migraines since I was a kid. I'm 49 now. In my mid 30s I started taking imitrex and it completely derailed me. I then started trying a bunch of preventative drugs, beta blocker, calcium blockers and ssri drugs. Finally found one that works fairly well, but along with that I use maxalt as a rescue drug which I still take 6+ times a month. It's a good drug and is effective. I have always noticed the migraines redoubles its efforts before leaving after I take it. I also notice it makes me very sleepy and foggy. I don't like to take it at work because of that. 9 times out of 10 it works, but there are still times it does nothing for me. Some is better than none in my world though. I take a generic due to cost."


"I had a urinary tract infection that would not go away with increased water and real cranberry juice.  Went to doctor and got this bactrim.

2 pills for 7 days.  First day after taking I became light headed.  Felt like the energy was being drained.  Had a mild head ache.  Second day my headed was pounding from the front and sides. Felt a lot of pressure in my ears. Very thirsty.  Unable to focus on any type of paperwork and any standing, lifting and walking movement made me feel weak like I was going to passout.

The symptom relief was instant from bactrim but the side of effects is very concerning because you feel extremely  bad like the medicine is to powerful or not good."

"Buspar is great in managing anxiety attacks as well as some panic disorders but I can't tolerate it because each time I experience dizziness and motion sickness after..so I will have to stop it."


"I've have no problems with Liletta at all, it stopped my period immediately, I've gained no weight, and have had no pregnancies! However, I am speaking for myself and know that every body is different-- so make sure you talk to your doctor for what is best for YOU. This is just my personal experience."


"I was accidentally put on Yaz when I was supposed to be on Yasmin back in July 2008. I just decided to stick it out and see if there was a difference. The 10 microgram difference in dosage made a HUGE difference. (Yasmin 30 microgram, Yaz 20 microgram) From July 2008 to January 2009, (the time I was on Yaz) it was completely miserable. I had constant nausea, would feel sick eating anything with lactose, had mood swings that almost cost me my relationship, unbearable headaches and at times I had sharp shooting back pain. I felt completely unmotivated and it had a negative effect on my school life. Once I switched back to the 30 microgram dosage, (Ocella) the side effects decreased dramatically."


"I had been on Restasis for a couple of years with no noticeable improvement. I was also trying different types of punctal plugs. Allrex steroid drops, too. No help. My insurance changed this year so I had to find a new ophthalmologist. He suggested Xiidra. I've taken it about a week and it may be helping. He suggested I put a drop of Refresh Optive gel drops in before the Xiidra to help with burning. That helped a lot. Hardly any burning. The first time I took it without the OTC drops it was so painful. Eyes hurt and I got a bad headache around my brows. I wouldn't have been able to continue. I will keep trying the xiidra. I've also ordered PRN fish oil capsules that was recommended. They can be bought on the web."


"Any drug can get a bad wrap because of some people abusing it. A lot of doctors don't even like prescribing Xanax because they don't want their patients getting "hooked". For me, I suffer from occasional anxiety attacks, and my prescription is "as needed". Anxiety attacks can be VERY scary. There were a few times I literally thought I was gonna die, it was that bad. I even went to the ER once because I believed I was having a heart attack. They are different for different people. I use to smoke and drink a lot of coffee, so I think that's what screwed up my body chemistry. I don't drink caffeine or smoke anymore. All I know is that now that I have my Alprazolam (Xanax) in my pocket, I'm not as scared to go places. I can live my life again."


"On Lithium everything felt muffled. It also took a large dosage to get to therapeutic level and then I had allergic reactions to it, vomiting, tremors, disorientation, etc. If it works for you, apparently from others I've talked to, it really does; if it doesn't it really doesn't."


"I'm just entering my 3rd week of using Chantix.  It has definitely decreased the craving for cigarettes.  However, I find myself having to continue to smoke.  I don't smoke as much or even smoke much of the cigarette.  I do experience great vivid dreams, not nightmares, the nausea which I have found that wintergreen life savers seem to help settle my stomach, and I'm tired a lot but until reading these other experiences didn't know it was connected.  I am currently taking antidepressants medicines and my doctor watches my behavior everyday, since I work in the clinic, and I'm very aware of my moods.  I get irritable at times but so far no real depression so hopefully the Celexa I'm on is helping that.
I would recommend it to anyone!"


"I've personally had a great experience on Gianvi so far. I'm on my third month and I've actually been able to lose weight for the first time in so long! I do work out too, but I did before and was at a stand still. I am a bit scared though cause I may switch to Yaz, as for some reason it's way cheaper on my insurance over this generic. Really though, it's been great!"


"I have to respond to "diditwrong?" - Oh dear, you absolutely MUST drink the water!  the way these preps work is to draw the water from your system to your colon and this flushes everything out.  I use suprep every year since my treatment for colon cancer back in 2010. Still gone, gone gone! :)  Anyway, I find this the easiest of preps!!  Since I am a little woman, drinking the usual huge jug was way too much liquid for me to handle!  A 16oz glass of the prep, followed by another 2 16oz glasses of JUST water :)  That's so much simpler than a gallon of the yucky stuff.  Here is my advice:  Make you appointment for the LATE morning! That way you won't have to get up in the middle of the night to do the last dose."


"This medicine is awesome. No side effects and completely effective for my depression symptoms. I have tried most other medicines and this medicine is great!"


"Lexapro (or the Escitalopram version in my country) was almost immediately successful in treating my anxiety and extreme rage issues. I've been using it for 8 months, but experience one major side-effect: constant tiredness or lethargy. I've tried taking it at other times during the day, but no change. I sleep really well at night, have vivid dreams, am more creative and able to solve problems - if I can stay awake during the day. Get really drowsy two hours after taking this and can easily nap for a couple of hours in the afternoon.  I'm no longer a bitch, but also no longer awake. So will have to choose between being mentally sharp or being anxious and angry all the time."


"I don't like the side effects. It affects your kidneys."


"I was finally diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety last week. I have been suffering since childhood, but only recently obtained help. The doctors prescribed me Celexa. I've been on it for a few days now and I feel a noticeable difference. I wonder if that's even possible; I've read everywhere that it takes several weeks to notice some changes. Placebo effect maybe? Anyways, I appreciate having a more positive outlook on life and I even found the side effect (lightheadedness) a tad pleasant."


"I gave this a 5 because the product is hit or miss. A couple of times it worked in 2 days and a couple of times it made the sore worse! I mean it doubled it in size! I'm now using a camphor solution and white toothpaste."


"I have fibromyalgia, have fractured my back and had fusion surgery in the cervical area of my back. I had taken soma for close to 35 years as it was the only muscle relaxant that worked and I could tolerate. I moved from La. to Tx 4 years ago and had to start using a new pain management dr.  I have no problem with the dr. However in Tx no dr will prescribe soma. Now I have daily muscle spasms increasing the overall amount of pain I have.  I have developed severe tailbone pain which  makes it very difficult to work. It upsets that I had to go from controlled symptoms to totally uncontrolled. I take pain meds but that does not help when you have muscle spasms as I do.only dulls the pain. So my quality of life is horrible and it is not right �"


"Works great, better than all the others.  "


"It's a complete contradiction, on one hand it'll make you go for sure, till it's running down your legs in the middle of the night. On the other hand it only works as a fast acting medication. So you get to go thru the cramping, sweating, irritation, withdrawals and panic every time you want to go. I took my second pill a few weeks ago and posted the effects here. I haven't taken anymore but am still having all of these side effects every time I have to go.???? I thought I would be over all this by now. I'm miserable along with sleeping legs....."


"Wish I read the reviews before taking Errin. I have been on Errin for 15 months and stopped taking it a week ago due to severe migraines, weight gain, moodiness and decreased interest in things that I usually enjoy. My sex drive has decreased and I have little or no interest in my husband. I could not figure out why I was so upset over small things and he even asked me to look into alternative methods of birth control. PLEASE do your research. It's not for everyone."


"I'm allergic to codeine and can't take NSAID so for daily management of my arthritis and other pains I take Tramadol 50 mg usually 3 sometimes 4/day. I've been taking it for 2 years now, when I forget I feel horrible. I take tylenol in addition to that. It allows me to move around and get things done."


"I was only on the pack for one month and had to stop as soon as I started the second one. During the sugar pill week, I had severe migraines which is something I never get. Those continued and then nausea was added to it. I threw up the other day and it looked as if I didn't digest any of my food from that day. This is definitely just a personal experience, but I am also definitely going off this pill asap. I got my period for 6 days so I'm definitely not pregnant. (Also took two pregnancy tests as an extra test) If you're looking for a pill, I would try a different brand."


"This is the best medicine for pain."


"Worked but had to stop because my kidney creatinine level was too high."


"I started this pill June 2014, and have had only a positive experience. No weight gain, no acne, and no pregnancies! I use to get bad back pain and cramps however after starting the pill, they are gone and my period only lasts 3-4 days. I do get emotional right before my periods do but nothing to extreme. I would recommend to a friend, as I know friends who have also had a positive experience."


"I have had IBS-D most of my life. Until Imodium came along, I had to stay home... I use the Imodium Multi-Symptom more often than the Imodium AD for one specific reason - the ease of accessing the pill. The packaging for the AD is absolutely, beyond a doubt one of the dumbest every conceived! Definitely not something you can have handy in your purse or wallet. You'd never be able to get to it in an emergency. You have to use scissors to cut the tiny pill out! But, with the Imodium Multi-Symptom, you simply bend the corner at the perforation, pull the paper back and access the pill. It is a larger pill so for people who have difficult swallowing, you may want to buy a small bottle of Imodium - no individual packages to mess with."


"I have a previous traumatic stroke 5 years ago. I have been maintained with blood thinners and 1mg ativan. Recently last month my anxiety and panic attacks are at all time high. They are daily and debilitating.. I fear of dying but have had numerous ER trips and Dr visits that always come back very healthy.. I have only been on celexa for 3 days.  Are anyone out there with similar background and positive experiences with this drug.
Thanks"


"Took 30 mg nightly. Most effective atypical I've tried. Cured psychosis after 2 months, significantly helped mood swings (from rapid-cycling BP 1), somewhat beneficial for severe insomnia. Intolerable side effects, so was forced to stop Zyprexa. The drug caused paralysis in my legs, partial blindness, daily seizures, severe mental impairment (couldn't remember ATM PIN for 3 weeks!), gained 40 lbs despite strict diet. Off of the drug, lost weight, mental impairment improved, but significant neuromuscular damage. If your body can tolerate it, a fantastic drug. But be warned...Zyprexa can cause permanent damage to your body and mind."


"I've been taking tri-sprintec for 6 or 7 months. I started it with hopes of it getting rid of my moderate acne. I rarely got cystic acne, but my face ALWAYS had zits and I would break out around my period and even worse when I was stressed. Now I still have acne, but it isn't nearly as bad as it was before; I also don't notice much of a change in my skin when I get stressed. So it didn't exactly work how I hoped it would, but it IS helping some.

The first month that I started tri-sprintec was pretty awful. I was nauseous for four weeks straight- from the time I woke up to the time I went to sleep. I've gained a little bit (5lbs) of weight and noticed that my breasts have grown (or are always swollen)."


"Diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation a little over two years ago.  Started Ryhthmol after taking thinners in preparation for Cardioreversion. Heart went back to normal rhythm just before I was to be shocked.  Had infrequent short periods of Atrial fibrillation reoccuring. Doctor prescribed another anti-arrhythmics but I felt as though tennis ball was bouncing inside my chest.  Went back to Rythmol 325 Sr and atenolol, both twice a day.  I have stayed in rhythm for about a year,  I have found that coffe and some Iced teas cause me to go out."


"I have been on the meds for a week I have success so far and no side effects accept for a little dry mouth which is good because it gets you to drink more water. It has suppressed my appetite to help me limit my portion control."


"Paxil is making me calmer, but not lessening depression. However, I only have been on it one week. I will give it more time. Side effects are fatigue, weight gain, and headache. I feel that this drug would be best for someone with aggression. I also take 1 mg Klonopin which is also sedating. Paxil and alcohol don't mix well."


"I requested this medication from my PCP for some mild-moderate anxiety.  I heard wonderful things about it and didn't think twice when I started taking it. I took it for about a week and it was the worst experience of my life.  I had tremors, insomnia, couldn't eat, spasms, restless but didn't want to do anything.  I wasn't depressed in the least prior to starting this medication but after the second dose I felt a depressed.. it was unbearable.  I was then prescribed Prozac and had a similar reaction. I lost 15lbs in 3 weeks. "


"I took 1 and several hours later I ended up with the most horrible diarrhea and vomiting I've ever had. I will never use this product again."


"Used for 6 years so far."


"Got skyla put in a month ago, 25 yrs old no kids. My doctor said it would hurt getting put in, which it did! After the appointment I almost passed out and started vomiting from the pain. Really bad cramps after procedure for about an hour and my pulse was considerably lower than normal. Next morning just mild cramps. Would definitely recommend having Someone drive you home from appointment. Had a normal period but hardly any cramps. No weight gain, no mood swings, no sudden acne so so far so good. I did spot periodically after placement until my period started."


"Works great, the only issue was that after 4 days I could not drink enough, lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks, checked my blood sugar and it was well over 300.  I was not a diabetic and haven't been diagnosed as one yet.  Went to Doctor to have things checked out and we're watching things closely, still not on medication for diabetes, but blood sugar has dropped to normal range 4 weeks after stopping this medication. Nurse at Dermatologist office stated that it's just me, it's not the medication.  My blood sugar now varies from 86 to 113 for the most part."

"I just recently started taking Gianvi for about a week now and I already feel some of the side effects. I'm in and out of sleep and feel nauseous in the mornings. I got my first headache and have little cramps in my lower abdomen. I don't really have a lot of bad things to say about Gianvi since I just started a week ago but I'm hoping these side effects will go away soon. "

"I have been on this pill for almost a month now. I don't really like it that much because of the side effects ive been having. Its also the first time that i have ever been on birth control. Im hoping that it will get better."
