"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. It seems I also have ADHD, Idiopathic Hypersomnia (not narcolepsy, but an unknown reason for excessive sleepiness), and a host of other symptoms. Ritalin was a life saver. I am able to think clearly again, I can wake up in the morning, and stay awake during the day, and my creativity is back (Artist/Crafter). It seems my tolerance is building, so my doctor tried me on LA; in a 1 month test I had a rocky start, but once my system adjusted it worked wonderfully. However, now my insurance company won't pay for it. Always one step forward, two steps back."


"Started this medication due to breastfeeding. Worst birth control ever. My periods are EXTREMELY heavy and lasts forever , bloating out of this world and minor weight gain. After this pack, I'm done. Will never take this again."


"This is VERY tricky to evaluate. My new doc raved about as it had helped her.
"They should pipe it right into the water supply!" She squealed.
Well...
I would rather be clear and sad, than in a zombie-twilight world.  20mg after 2 weeks and I am fed up.
Utterly impossible to climax and have an orgasm. And believe me-I tried!
2nd-My girlfriend noticed that I completely stopped playing and practicing guitar! And I am a pro.
It's just too dangerous of a mind drug, and perhaps only suitable in extreme situations like death of a family member.

Certainly not for just being in a rut, sadness or the blues. It will just zombie you out. Glad I experienced it. Time to move on with life. Without a brain fog chemical. Orgasms are a sign of life"


"My daughter (6 yrs old) began on Focalin (10 MG) a month ago.  We noticed she suffered from no ill side effects; rather she became more "in tune" with others feelings and emotions, slept even more soundly at night, and did not have a loss of appetite. Unfortunately, it did not stay in her system long enough to get her through school and homework so her Doctor adjusted her dose (20 MG). Now she is loving it!  For the first time, she is receiving high marks on her behavior at school, is able to communicate better with her friends, and (in her words) "stay focused and in control". The beauty of this, it leaves her system after about 10 hrs (she takes it at 7 am) and we are able to practice behavior modification procedures at home with her."


"Seroquel XR definitely helped me with my moods and rapid cycling. But.... gave it away because I was forever hungry. I lost all internal compass on whether or not I required food. Which is scary for me because I've always been normal weight and relied upon internal hunger cues to direct my eating. These cues were lost on seroquel. I wanted to eat all the time! I put myself on a strict diet yet the weight still kept creeping on. In my opinion, seroquel lowers the metabolism. Such that you'd have to restrict your calorie intake quite seriously. I'm going to try Latuda instead as it's a "weight neutral" preparation."


"It definitely works.  But it is an intense stimulant and will keep you up all night.  I would take one in the morning and that's it."


"My lungs cleared up immediately after my first dose.  No more hacking up sputum or rattling, squeaky lungs!"


"I have my life back now! PMDD used to make me suffer with so many symptoms and anxiety it felt like I was in a haze for many days of month and it was like clockwork each month. Now I barely notice any symptoms. It took a couple of months to see the full affect. No side effects as of yet. On 10mg daily."


"After switching to Trinessa after years on Triprevefem without issue, I experienced side effects that were like every symptom of pregnancy. I started having unusual menstrual-like and lower abdominal cramps, indigestion, bloating, heartburn that did not go away. I thought I had gained 10 pounds. My breasts jumped at least cup size. I was dizzy and exhausted with intense headaches despite getting plenty of rest. Pregnancy was a minuscule possibility because I had been using backup methods without fail. My period came a few days late and I immediately switched back to Triprevefem. All of the symptoms went away except enlarged breasts, which I certainly can't complain about. My advice: pay out for brand name for some piece of mind and health."


"I'm getting this removed right away. I never had acne and now my face is covered in acne scars. I have acne all over my chest and back. I got it in July of 2014 and I was bleeding non stop 6 days on 3 days off and repeat. Until about November then I had it once in November, Once at the very end of December, and I have not had a period, not even spotting since the January 3, 2015. (Its September 2015). I am so worried this will cause huge complications in the future. Im getting it removed right away."


"I've had nasty, thick, crusty toe nails my whole life and was always too afraid to take the pill for it. I got over it when my toenail started turning black! I have three weeks left of a 3-month course of terbinafine and I'm impressed. The side effects are scary when you read about them, however, I experienced none other than initial anxiety about taking them. I've done my two liver panels and have been fine. Didn't notice much change in the toe nails until now - one of my toe nails has been thick and crusty since I was a little girl and tonight I noticed a little sliver of healthy nail coming through. Feels like a miracle! Stick with this - it sounds like a scary medication but if you do your liver testing, you'll be fine."


"My entire spine was destroyed in a car accident 26 years ago, and I developed MPS.  3 years ago I broke my neck during a seizure, causing additional pain.  Avinza has done the best at controlling my pain; but while on Kadian I was titrated from 120mg to 60mg by doctors who didn't believe I was really in pain.  Now that they have MRI's of the damage suffered 26 years ago that has degenerated over the years, they believe me and will finally titrate me up to 90mg of Avinza, which is a wonder for me.  I also use several other means to control the pain, such as diversion, a spa, exercise, and relaxation response."


"Cymbalta did nothing to lessen my anxiety."


"Worked great for my blood pressure however I had to stop this medicine because of severe and rapid hair loss."


"This drug, the first time I took it, caused my jaw to clench and grind uncontrollably. However, it made me feel VERY good and I have just started to take it routinely (100Mg). Hopefully, it will continue to keep me happy, especially since I'm a freshman in college."


"I'm 20 years old and I have had acne since I first became a teenager. For almost 7 years, there hasn't been a day where I haven't had a dozen pimples on my face. It mainly affects my chin and jawline with the occasional few on my forehead and temples of my face. I went to the doctor and was prescribed doxy 100mg once a day for 3 months. By week 2, I couldn't believe it. My skin was super smooth and clear and I couldn't believe it. It has now been 6 weeks and my skin looks great. I have also switched my beauty routine to sensitive skin scare (QV), and have been using benzac (which never used to work before using doxy). My doctor is pleased and is keeping me on it until the 6 month mark. Fingers crossed it stays away :)"


"I began this product last year and did well. Was switched to the pill but I cannot remember to take it, so yesterday my doctor switched me back. Today I feel very uneasy, sad, I've cried all day."


"I had very little pain reduction with this medication. I was taking it at 120mg/day by the time I was switched. I had very little side effects, but it did affect my libido and sexual performance. I also found I did not have much creative drive while I was on the medication, which was one of the primary reasons I asked to be switched. It might have reduced my pain by a point on the 1-10 scale, but that simply wasn't worth it, especially at a $320/mo cost with no insurance."


"Topamax for me worked at preventing headaches but the side effects were unbearable. This medicine worked in the beginning but slowly BAD side effects appeared, I became so depressed, I was angry and sexually numb. I lost my sense of taste all sodas starting tasting flat. I also lost 15 pounds very quickly and I am now underweight do to this medication. I would never recommend it but only as a last resort. There are far better options out there. After failed topamax I then was prescribed the extended release version of it "Trokendi XR" and it was a little better but again over time side effects started appearing. Beware because it seems good in the beggining then side effects! Withdrawals from this med are terrible! Migraines x10!"


"I was prescribed a high dose of Estarylla. Prior to starting the BC, within four months my cycle had gone from normal (3-5 days) to extremely heavy and non stop for two days.  I knew because of the high dose I would experience severe side effects which I hoped would eventually go away once my body adjusted... And,  they are.

First month on BC- big painful blemishes, extremely bloated and nauseated.

Second month on BC- clear skin, hardly have an appetite, still somewhat nauseated.

I think my third month will be better!"


"Hi I started lexapro 20 mg around Dec 2015, for generalized anxiety. I was scared to take any prescribed drug due to me not wanting to get hooked on meds. My anxiety so bad that I was unable to function at all. I have two children and there was no other option for me but to try something. The first week I had insomnia, slight tremors. I would wake up every morning at 6am with it seemed to be a empty stomach. I went to the ER twice in the first week. I felt like there was no end. My husband thought it was all in my head. By week 2 every side effect started to decrease day by day. I was able to get out of bed and clean my house. I felt like I was not confined anymore. Week 4 brand new me. Try this med, it saved me and could save you!!!"


"I took these pills for an attack of hives and anxiety.  I am female and aged 78.  After three days I began to feel nauseous.  I was OK before I went on a long car journey.  After half an hour with my husband driving I began to feel extremely ill.  He managed to stop the car as I was near to fainting and I vomited at the roadside.  I felt as if I was losing consciousness for about 15 mins and felt extremely sick, but could not vomit.   I felt my BP was extremely low.  Finally I felt able to return to our home.

The doctor who gave me the pills was one I was not known to.  I was a visitor to the town.  I have a history of tachycardia and arrhythmia and was diagnosed with M.E. 8 years ago.  I told the doctor of my medical history."


"Does not cure pain nor does it last anywhere near 24 hours - more like 10. Complete garbage."


"Am completly satisfied .Have no side effects Absolute positive experience."


"I went on this because I really liked the sound of only 4 periods a year (mine are miserable & heavy). I didn't have any spotting on the 1st pack. However, on just about every pack since then I've had anywhere from 1-3  weeks of spotting. Sometimes it's just brown discharge, other times it warrants a tampon. My periods are just as heavy and miserable. I also initially had a massive acne flare up when I started Camrese. About twice per pack I'll break out badly on my face - once during my period and about 2-3 weeks after that. I'll be asking for a different brand at my next visit. Been on this for 1 year but hey, I didn't get pregnant."


"Qsymia works for me. It is true. It makes you thirsty and makes diet soft drinks taste like brake fluid. Totally kills my craving for sweets. The good news, I was closing in on the 300lbs mark...less than two months later, almost at 260 lbs. I am a weight watcher so I have an accurate record of my weight loss. Also, I go to my local YMCA and workout six days a week."


"Took this medication for two years for depression. Didn't do much to help lift or regulate my moods, but didn't cause insomnia or nightmares. Taking this medicine on an empty stomach resulted in nausea, cramps, and vomiting. Make sure to eat breakfast if you're taking it in the morning."


"I have been on Doxycycline for many months with amazing relief of my severe rosacea with ocular rosacea.  In the past couple of weeks I have developed an itchy rash (hives) on my scalp which spread to my whole back until I had to stop using the antibiotic this morning.  I am very upset because my rosacea symptoms were quite severe.  I gather I have developed an allergy to this wonderful drug and am at my wits' end to know what to do.  I guess I'll have to go back to my physician and hope that there's something else out there that I can take."


"I had to write a review because most people go out of there way only to write one after a bad reaction, but everyone is different! I used depo for FIVE years and loved it! Skin was perfect, never gained weight (in fact, it seemed like I almost couldn't gain weight haha), and my emotions were totally level. I never had a period either. Because it can effect your bone density, I decided to switch to another birth control. HATED my life. I gained weight, had chronic fatigue, "morning sickness", severe depression. (This was from nexplanon). I have since been off birth control and regulating my body. Before I was on depo, I took the pill which made me so sick everyday. now that I'm in a relationship, I'm 100% returning to depo"


"Wasted my money on this antibiotic. Made me feel so nauseated for several hours after taking it, & gave me diarrhea, but I tried it for four days, twice daily, hoping it might treat the UTI I had it prescribed for. No such luck Yet. Still having symptoms of burning, urgency and frequency; now I'll be going back to the clinic, to wait for hours and get a new script. Wait in line at the pharmacy, pay more money...Such a waste of precious time, money & sick leave."


"i purchased monistat 1 day, max strength. came with ovule + applicator, cream, and cooling wipes. unfortunately i was one of the unlucky ones who didn't read the reviews before using. every 1 star review is accurate - hellish burning, extreme discomfort, feels like satan has taken residence on your vagina, etc. it wasn't until i removed about half of the cream that i felt a little better. the cream seems to make the sensation worse. the only thing that worked on the package are the cooling wipes. sad. not even sure if in the end, my yi will be treated."


"Began 10mg of Escitalopram, decided I needed to take it at night as it was pretty sedating - which I didn't mind as my anxiety would keep me awake most nights. I felt great great initially, moved up to 20mg; mood was up, anxiety wasn't so dwelling, sleeping was great. I work in healthcare and decided to check my BP one day and it was sky high, I'm talking 200/110. Over the weeks, I monitored the blood pressure and symptoms. About a month in, my numbers came down but was still higher than my usual readings. Mood and sleep were still going well. But then I noticed, my husband did first, that I became very fidgety - excessively chewing my finger nails, rambling and
talking with out any meaning. After 6 weeks of use, my doctor decided to take me off."


"I have been on this for 3 weeks and I had nausea and diarrhea on the second days of the injection.
I have a dull pain in my lower left abdomen. My sugar levels have gone down but it wears off towards the end of the week."


"I was 19 years old when my family doctor prescribed me Xanax 0.25mg. for my stress and anxiety from work and life at the time. I'm 43 now I only take it when I'm under a lot of stress or when my anxiety level goes up in any situation in my life. At the same time when I'm stressed out I go walking and running because it helps too. I wouldn't know what I would do if I didn't have Xanax to help me."


"It knocks out extreme sadness for me. But I still get the lack of motivation and energy when it comes around. I'm bipolar 1."


"I have been battling head lice with my 2 daughters for years and years and years.  I have tried EVERYTHING.  This last battle which has lasted over a year had me at my wits end.  Shaving was next.  I finally had my doc phone in Sklice.  BEST STUFF EVER EVER EVER!!!!  You have saved my sanity and my beautiful girls hair."


"I've been using Pristiq for 6 months now. I have never used any form of medication for anxiety before as I said to myself I never want to be on medication. So I spoke to family, friends and then finally a psychologist to help me with my constant anxiety and negative mind chatter- but nothing helped so I decided to see my doctor for a prescription for an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety type medication. He recommended Pristiq. The first few days I felt a little dizzy, some constipation but that soon passed and in about 2 weeks I was feeling a lot calmer, more level headed and a lot more positive. It has helped me get through a tough time and I would recommend it."


"Tried ambien, Ativan ...then dr prescribed restoril. Scared at first to take it. On it over a year now, works just fine.  Helps me sleep through hot flashes, Graves Disease symptoms, husbands snoring even.  I take with 5 mg melatonin on EMPTY stomach, at least 2 hours after any food or it doesn't work.  It's been such a relief for me to get my sleep."


"The insertion was crampy but it only took a few minutes. I've been on the Copper IUD (ParaGuard) for almost 2 months now and it has been great so far! I was a bit crampy the week after I got it inserted then I started my period, which I had bad cramps for the first day or so, but it was fine after the beginning of my period. My period was also heavier than it normal was but it lightened up for me after a few days of being on my period. After my period was over, i only got cramps every so often about a week or so after, but it's been great. my next period was better, less crampy and it wasn't as heavy as before. I'm just overall happy about getting Paraguard, I was nervous at first because of the bad reviews, but this is a good review!"


"At age 19 I have been taking Seroquel for more than a decade, as I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder extremely young. Seroquel is not a quick fix for an incurable syndrome that those diagnosed will continue to have to live with for the rest of their lives. Seroquel did not fix my sleep problems completely, although it did at first. Now I have to take extra sleep medication to quell my continually racing thoughts. I am still moody and I still do have meltdowns, but the frequency has decreased drastically. What Seroquel and other antipsychotics allow you to do is function in daily life to the best degree possible. I'm not saying everyone with manic depression should take it, because bipolar disorder is a different experience for everyone."


"Well....50 pounds gained later I'm not very happy with this pill.  I've talked to my doctor numerous times about this side effect and she says you will feel hungry all the time but you just need to tell yourself not to eat.  The weight gain has made me depressed and self conscious, beginning to think this pill is not worth taking.  Other than that, it has helped my periods and I haven't gotten pregnant so that's a plus."


"I balance my sugar  also with metformin and exercises....

"


"After being sick with bronchitis and upper respiratory infection for about 2 weeks, I woke up one morning with cold sores overtaking my whole top lip. I've always taken Lysine and that helps cut back on the length of time for healing when I just have one cold sore. This time, the swelling and pain of having multiple cold sores was just too much to handle. I phoned my dr. and explained that my top lip was so swollen and that eating and drink had become painful. Dr. called in a prescription of 2 a day Valtrex. I took the first one yesterday around noon, by 6 pm the swelling and pain had already gone down. This morning I woke up and while the blisters are still there, it's like it reversed all the sores. No pain or swelling. Just healing!!"


"This is my first time taking birth control and I was a bit scared because looking at the reviews for mononessa, a lot of people said it caused them unpleasing side effects. My doctor originally prescribed me something else it's like "Tri-Ortho" something like that and the pharmacist gave me the generic version Mononessa. I have been on it for 7 whole days and the only side effect I have is on the first day I felt a tad bit nauseous but that is all. No major mood swings, headaches, or vomiting like I've seen a lot of people write but everyone is different. My experience has been good so far. Hopefully it will stay like this. I am prone to feeling side effects to medication and I am honestly surprised I didn't get any severe ones... yet."


"I have been taking Nuvigil for over a year. I'm on 250mg I have had no side effects. It only seems to last a few hours for me. Does anyone have any ideas?"


"Unbelievable. I just used this for the first time and had relief in about 15 minutes. 13 years of pain shots 12 doctors, 2 surgeries and I put on this gel and feel so much better. For me, it is a miracle."


"I have IBS with diarrhea. Out of pocket price $500.00 for Xifaxan 550 mg three pills a day .
It did not work for me at all. After two weeks of the pills diligently taken.  Waste of money .I had no side effects.   But the pills did not work for me the diarrhea persists as does  nausea sweating and stomach cramps.  I have run out of ideas as has the dr.  Don't waste your money."


"I was prescribed seroquel 100mg for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and I could only take it for two days.  I took it as prescribed before bedtime. I almost crashed my truck several times on my way to work and I had to pull over on the shoulder to sleep on my way home from work. Day 2 was a Saturday. I slept for 14.5 hours. I can't function at all on this."


"I have had nexplanon since December 2013, and I've put on 90 pounds, I have had terrible mood swings, more severe anxiety, depression, sleep problems, migraines, super sweaty, abdominal swelling and far worse cramps than without, and my breasts actually grew even bigger which is actually not good... And to top it off, I'm almost constantly on my period. It sucks. I'm not pregnant and that's great, but bleeding constantly isn't my ideal. I'd rather not have sex than use this birth control!"


"Only took 2 days. Leg pains already, flu like symptoms, felt feverish, but no fever. Cold, clammy chills. I can't take statins, and it seems this is a no-go also."


"It has gotten me past some of the bad withdrawal symptoms, including the sweats and most of the vomiting, but is not helping with the uncontrollable urges.  I'm going off cold turkey, and its so hard.  I still have the horrible muscle aches throughout my body and it feels like its been hit by a truck, especially in my legs. I use Ambien to sleep and that helps. I think I'm going to try to call my doctor for a different medicine. "


"I am 25 have tried about 5 different types birth control pills. I was on Velivet for about 8 months. I know every one is different but for the last 3-4 months I was on it I was getting 2 full periods per month instead of 1/month. Another down fall was it completely shutdown my sex drive which is fine if you are single and looking to stay out of trouble. The pros of this pill are: kept my acne away and it kept my mood stable no crying or moodiness. Before this pill I was on Sryonx and it turned me into a crying machine. I am now switching to Reclipsen hopefully  it helps with reducing my periods to once a month. In conclusion it was not a good enough pill to make me want to stay on it."


"Been on Elavil 20 mg for 6 months for migraine prevention, at first felt really loopy and actually stopped taking them after first dose, did not like feeling like that. But my doc urged me to try them and my migraines are down from 6-8 a month to 1-2 a month, so far so good."


"I have used Crestor for over one year and find it to be an excellent drug for my condition. I was using Lipitor which, gave me muscle pain as a side effect."


"I used Implanon for 6 year with 2 insertions. It was very effective and I loved not having to worry about birth control for such a long period of time. The only reason I had it removed was because I would have a heavy period for months at a time. I was on my period for more than half the time I had the Implanon. When I had it removed, I noticed my face clear up and I lost a small amount of weight. I have a friend who had Implanon and she had it removed due to complete lack of periods. She couldn't stand being irregular. So Implanon seems to have a big effect on periods."


"I got Nexplanon back in February and at first I was very emotional.  Was sad about everything.  But it lasted only a month.  After that, I spotted a couple times but nothing heavy, painful or long-lasting.  During that time I also got bad acne on my face which I never had a problem with before.  That was the most embarassing part and lasted a few months.  I called my doctor and they told me to stick it out because side-effects should calm down at the 6 month mark.  I also gained about 15 pounds but that was ok with me because I am super skinny and needed it!  So for about 3 months now, it's been great!  No mood swings, no cramps, no period, acne cleared up.  Just remember it reacts to everyone differently."


"I am a Hep B patient. I am using this medicine since 1 year. My viral load is reduced to undetectable from 35000. After using this medicine I lost 10Kg of my weight. Again after three months I recovered 6kg of my weight. Except that I am feeling happy. Now my ALT levels are also normal."


"I started taking Advair 50/500 about 2 years ago. I must say that I have noticed almost a complete turn around with my breathing problems which is wonderful. However, I am in the emergency room almost half of every month due to severe heartburn, gallbladder attacks, severe stomach, throat and esophagus pain. It is all due to the Advair. Have been on all the breathing medicines and Advair works the best. Just don't know if I can keep dealing with all these side effects."


"A few months ago, my periods stopped and the hot flashes, night sweats, and crying jags hit me like a swarm of hornets. I knew it would happen eventually, but I had imagined they'd arrive solo, with polite introductions and a getting acquainted period. But, no. This was a full bore onslaught. After a few weeks of torture, I bowed down to the pharmaceutical gods, and secured a Climara Rx. I'm sensitive to meds, so I cut the patch in half. After just three days, my symptoms were completely gone. Worried about side effects, I removed the patch. Two months later, and I'm still symptom-free. Two days ago, I got my period. Did it forestall my menopause?"


"Wow, on my second use I had total control.  Now I can stretch out our love sessions and let her REALLY enjoy it. We love it."


"I was on this pill for two years. I thought everything was going well on this pill, until I started getting worse and worse acne. It slowly crept up on me. I was wondering all the time what was wrong with my skin. I'm 23 years old and my acne is the worst it's been my whole life. I had beautiful skin as a teen and up until around two years ago. It took me awhile to connect the dots. I also noticed that I started to get facial hair. It didn't happen immediately, but was very gradual. In the second year, I noticed one day that I had increased, noticeable facial hair. I freaked out, as I didn't have hair on my upper lip before. Sure enough, it's one of side effects. Now I'm on Beyaz, so far so good. I'm hoping it will clear up my acne!"


"Experiencing a little nausea.  It seems since I started this medication 1 week ago I can no longer stomach coffee.  My Dr. is weaning me off zoloft.  Zoloft zapped my energy after 3 years.  Dreams are vivid but sleep is good.  I am experiencing nocturnal erections again and my libido has increased."


"My experience has been great and horrifying. Now, to explain myself I will list the effects I've had so far. I am on my fourth dose of my 40 mg vyvanse. I was put on 40 because my doctor said it would be okay. ADVERSE EFFECTS: *Severe* Just today on my fourth dose I had experienced something new my entire life..sitting on my chair I lifted my leg and was overcome with the feeling of it, "falling asleep". It was overcome abruptly out of nowhere with the feeling of tiny bubbles in the numbers of thousands racing from my foot up to my thigh without any of these, in idea of description bubbles popping. Until it reached my thigh when it was immediately somewhat relieved...skip to later today and my leg was paralyzed almost"


"I have been taking Zetia off and on since it first came out in 2002. But now the price has gotten prohibitive. There is no generic for it, because Merck is greedy and still holds the patent. There has been a generic drug available since 2015, but Merck wants to be the sole source for this drug, and it's has not been allowed on the market. I've paid a co-pay of $25 per month due to a secondary card I got from my doctor's office, now my insurance has jacked the co-pay to $100 for 30 tabs. I went to the Merck site and they no longer offer a discount card. They have a form for applying for a free prescription online, but apparently you must be destitute to get it. Since they're the only guy in town for this drug, this is just ridiculous..."


"I lost my 16 year old daughter in a tragic car accident four months ago. They first had me on lexapro, then remeron, and neither did anything for me, except the remeron did make me suicidial.
My Doc told me to try Cymbalta 30 mg. It was a life saver, literally. I was ready to kill myself, I had enough pain and didn't want to feel that daily pain of losing my daughter. My Doc just increased my Cymbalta to 60 mg, I'm very excited about this.
I have not noticed it helping the panic or the anxiety, it def has helped my mind and my body constantly from hurting due to depression. This medicine truly saved my life. I'll never be me again, but this medicine has got me back to the closest old me. Thankful for Cymbalta!"


"Horrible headache and stomach ache. Had to discontinue."


"My doctor prescribed me this birth control to help with the pain of endometriosis as  mine was getting to be very painful. The first couple months were rough, nausea, vomiting, terrible mood swings to the point of crying at commercials! I stuck with it though and eventually levelled out. It really helped with my periods and the pain to the point that I went from calling off work for periods to barely noticing them! They lasted 4 days and were not heavy or terribly crampy. BUTTTT..... I have been on it for about 2 years and now I am getting side effects again in the form of terrible head aches every day, zero sex drive and terrible cramps during and in between periods. Also my periods have gotten heavy again so I am going off it."


"Considering going off of it.  Too many severe side effects such as painful hands and feet, tendinitis of wrists, weight gain."


"I'm 21 years old and I have very irregular and almost uncontrollable bleeding. After giving birth to my daughter, I decided to try Mirena hearing only good things about it. And after using it for almost 3 years now, I've had no bleeding and no cramping. I can honestly say that using this product, I've never been happier. I highly recommend this form of birth control to any woman."


"This birth control is a near traumatic experience. I have gained 30lbs. I have had this implanted in my arm since 2013. On top of the weight issue I have experienced constant bleeding, emotional ups and downs, and a fire cracker temperament. I've set up appointments but the timing has been poor considering I have just gotten out of the military, moved across the country and moved into a new house. I did however manage to start using the nueva ring and it did however help a lot with maintaining the current weight and with 1 1/2 hrs of gym time a day was working to get down to a happier weight. Recently I have ran out of the nueva ring and even with so much time in the gym it's like a gained 5 lbs in my sleep. Working on getting it removed"


"With no medicines I am the world's laziest housekeeper - no kidding.  With Ritalin, I am still that, but I do very well at work.  I tried Adderall because it was cheaper and it didn't help my concentration at work, but I painted the floor and the ENTIRE inside of my house, a complete renovation - needed no sleep, almost at all.  While it's great to be so productive, physically, I have to try something else, because I feel like I'm on full throttle."


"I've been on the Depo shot for 6 Months. I had 3 shots so Far%u2026 the first shot was great Ive had no periods at all when I got my second shot. About 4 weeks after I started bleeding almost everyday but once I got my third shot it had stopped, I am not having any problems so far. But I Am constantly losing weight like when I started the shot I was 129lbs, I am now 114lbs how is this happening? I eat all the time."


"It didn't work for me. I had it remove after a month of having it.
It caused me acne and weight gain, and I gained inches from arms and belly. Also really bad cravings for sugar and starch."


"I was on citolopram (celexa), lithium 1250 mg daily and olanzapine 20 mg and a lot of benzos. A state run mental health clinic opened in a local town so I stopped seeing the private psychiatrist and started to attend the public clinic. The psychiatrist was revolutionary. She immediately stopped the anti-depressant because it was elevating mood into mania. She dropped lithium to one dose at night to aid kidney wear and tear. She stopped olanzapine because I was still having mild persistent psychosis and put me on 800mg of quetiapine  (seroquel). The first week was tough I was very nauseous and sleepy but once my body adjusted it was much better. The mix of quetiapine and lithium is really working for me."


"The metronidazole 500mg made me feel queasy. I'm on my 5th day taking two tablets a day. But I'm having a lot of discharge."


"I was put on this medication for anxiety and depression as I had previously been on lexapro 15mg for 3 years and had consistently had a insatiable appetite. I saw a pyc specialising in perinatal depression as I changed whilst pregnant. I started on 37.5mg of Effexor but needed to constantly increase 75.5mg then 112.5 mg as My biggest complaint on this medication was extreme
aggression. I would get so angry I doubted my ability to not harm my children. I obviously saw my doc who has taken me off it, withdrawal was ok till back down to 37.5 mg. Please don't take this medication try everything else before this- side effects for withdrawal are awful I've just got off it and switched to Zoloft and 2nd day in already feeling better."


"For me aspirin works better than ibuprofen,acetaminophen,naproxen,ir relieves tension headaches and even back pain."


"I just want to let other women know that with 800mg ibuprofen prior, my insertion was no big deal. Not much worse than a Pap smear! I was really nervous but it went fine. I only just got it so I can't evaluate the long term yet but so far so good."


"Great experience. No side effects. I still have a period but that's okay. I highly recommend. Don't let previous reviews detour you from giving it a try!"


"I've been suffering from sweaty palms and feet since I was really little, but now at 15, it has really started to impact my life. As a child, I thought it was normal to have clammy hands and feet  but as I hit puberty it got very excessive and my armpits started to sweat heavily as well. It never really bothered me until high school ,as people would make remarks which hurt me as I couldn't help it. It was embarassing and made me constantly self conscious. I started taking lyrinel 1 week ago and I sweat like a normal person! My hands and feet are dry, unless I'm clenching them for a long time, they'll get a bit clammy. My pits barely sweat. This stuff is a life saver , although it makes me drowsy sometimes and gives me a dry throat."


"I started taking lisinopril in the 20mg dosage once a day.  My blood pressure started around 160-170/90-100.  After 30 days and not much change in my blood pressure, my doctor recommended taking two pills a day.  Since I started that, my headaches have been unbearable.  I am going to stop taking lisinopril."


"I'm only going to make a review on the insertion as I just had it done this morning. I took an extra strength Tylenol 40mins prior to the procedure. Doctor warned me that I will feel a pinch and cramping but I didn't feel a thing at all. I was so happy! I'd been scared and anxious for days!"


"I take it when I start getting overwhelmed, I don't take it every day just as needed ,works good for me , I  don't like long term meds or anything that makes me weird in the head, so far I take at least 2 or 3 in a weeks time sometimes less, it calms me down to where I can function, all in all I'm ok with it, everyone is different and have different effects"


"I have used Neurontin for more than 15 years. I have discovered that it is a great ongoing sleep therapy. The added sleep it grants me is a fantastic help with the neuropathy."


"I was put on Keppra as a safer choice while being pregnant. While Lamictal has more studies done I was allergic to it. I have loved being on Keppra. I was drowsy at first but that side effect went away but now I need to decide whether to breast feed or not. So many places say not to I am wondering if anybody has any advice."


"Ok ladies, your obviously on here for a reason. I've used this pill a few times and I'm still not a mom! So this pill WORKS! "


"I was told in 2004 that I tested positive for Hep C. Nothing was done about it. My liver enzymes were always off the scale, but no civilian doctor made much effort to diagnose the problem. Some seem to think I may have contracted it through a blood transfusion in 1985. Who knows?
The VA convinced me to be put on a 12 week program of Harvoni. So as it turns out I'm a Genotype 1a with a viral load of over 1.4 million. The first week of drug therapy I had trivial side effects, but no big deal, mostly headaches subsided by drinking more water. I had insomnia already so I can't say the Harvoni effected it.
Now, 34 days later, my blood tests show my viral load below 15. It definitely works."


"I only tried a sample and not very good tasting. Price is around $500 per bottle, a month's supply I guess. Also, Medicare doesn't cover it and no coupons. Not sure if it would help, but it's too expensive for me."


"I've been taking aviane for about a year. Cleared up my acne within a month or two; I don't get any cystic acne anymore. It's a relief. I don't get any side effects and it definitely evens out my mood."


"Seems to work."


"For me it causes severe cramping pains on both sides of my lower abdomen extending downward to the back of the thighs. It has a colitis like symptom, and it is very painful."


"Me and my mom are allergic it! Tung become swollen with trouble breathing!"


"I started taking Chantix on Oct 6, 2013. On Oct, 13 2013 I had my last smoke. I did not even a have a craving for one. I had the occasional dreams nothing bad just multiple ones per night. I went three weeks with taking 1mg in the am and 1mg in the pm. Than I went to just 1mg in the morning. No more dreams. Also if you don't eat enough you will get a upset tummy. I ordered another starter pack just to lower the dose before I totally quit. On Dec 19th 2013 I went to .5mg in the am and on Dec 21st stopped totally. It has been one week with nothing feels good. Thought about it through the whole process but I believe I am done with the nasty addiction. My side affects were dreams, angry, moody but all good. Good luck to me and all who give it a try."


"First off, let me say that this birth control was effective in preventing pregnancy for me, despite many negative side effects I experienced taking this pill. I was prescribed Ortho Cyclen to lessen period cramps, abnormal bleeding, and to prevent pregnancy. I can say the mood swings involved with this pill were miserable to deal with. I felt depressed or angry 99% of the time on this pill, but I wanted to give it a long enough time to see if my hormones would regulate. Not only was I sad, irritable and experienced low libido.....but I felt restless and nauseated from the hormones. i would not recommend this pill to anyone, and that is my humble and honest opinion."


"Had my left knee meniscus removed 30 years ago. I was told then "If you don't have it removed you will get arthritis when you are older". Well I have Mild to Moderate arthritis now anyway. Had my first series of injections in May of 2012. After 4 weeks I was 99% pain free for 8 months. Had the second series in March of 2013. Both times the middle shot was painful for a couple of hours. And then sore two days. No issues with the other 4 shots.  With the start of snowboard season, I am looking at doing my third series. "


"I take iron, Levothyroxine, I do not poo normally. I took some Amitiza and I remembered what normal felt like! Quality of life means everything. Pooping comfortably is a must for being happy!"


"I have heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. I also have coronary artery disease as a result. The statin medications caused me to have myalgia, malaise, protein in my urine, increased blood sugar levels, weakness and forgetfulness. After having triple bypass surgery 4  1\2 years ago, my LDL was still too high despite being on a high dosage of Crestor and zetia. I started Repatha 6 months ago and my LDL is at a record low and my HDL has increased. The only side effects are slight burning at the injection site and minor flu like symptoms that last for a day. In my opinion Repatha is a miracle drug."


"I was on Depakote for 1 year following 3 Grand Mal seizures that had been brought on by starting fluoxetine.  Fluoxetine, and most SSRIs, carry the risk of seizures.  They hit me hard and without warning, so I was on Depakote for a year after the final seizure and after stopping fluoxetine.
It does what it is supposed to do.  I had no more seizures; however, I gained over 20 lbs quickly.  The weight came back off once I was off the Depakote, but you will most likely put on weight with this medication."


"Ive had every sleeping medicine, even test drugs, thats legal where I am but only ambien has let me sleep. Ive been on ambien for about 3 years now. I take it because my autonomic nervous system doesnt work properly and my adrenaline wont shut of to let me sleep. Though ambien is the only thing that lets me sleep, it does give me weird trips or hallucinations sometimes. Which I have been told isnt a good thing and you should stop if you hallucinate or have a bad trip, but I'm on 10mg of ambien and I fall asleep 80% of the time so thanks ambien."


"I was diagnosed with RA in 2013. The pain was so excruciating I realized I was dealing with a monster. I wish I could say this drug has done wonders. Quite the opposite. The RA drugs make me physically sick. After methotrexate and Humira and the lung infection that nearly killed me, I realize these drugs have serious side effects. Plaquenil. Does absolutely nothing for me. Makes me irrational and depressed and unable to lose weight. Guess its back to Biologics. Rheumatologist is pulling out the big guns. Orencia infusions four hours in duration. Read Orencia infusion reviews which were horrific. But at this point in time podiatrist says I will be in a wheelchair by the time I am 60. Turn off my immune system or wheelchair...Hmm."


"Give me osteoporosis.  Nothing worst than this!  I could not get myself to take my weekly dose today.  I have been taking Alendronate Sodium 1 month now.  I feel so....bad.  Today before taking it I decided to read the reviews on it.  OMG, I identified with all.  I have never had so much pain, bones, joints, jaw, feet, dry mouth and sore eyes.  How can a company put out such a product?  I am so glad for everyone who posted their reaction for this terrible drug."


"I've been using Klonopin for about 4 years. I take it when I awake in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep.  0.5 mg gives me about 3 hours sleep and much more if I've not been taking it for a few days. Recently, I've been weaning myself by reducing the dosage to 0.25 mg.  This weaning would be more difficult if I weren't retired so that I can get more sleep just by staying in bed longer.  Not sleeping is much more adverse to my health than taking a moderate dose of Klonopin."


"Suffered urge incontinence for over 40 years. Now 77. Pelvic floor exercises as advised by G.P. did not work and incontinence (mild) and frequency especially at night was an increasing problem. Saw consultant who prescribed Solifenacin and the improvement after a month is good- get up once a night instead of 3-4 times so sleep better. Problem is side effects! Dry mouth and nasal passage not really a problem but blurred vision and  being dazzled by bright sun, car headlights when driving, plus some cognitive deterioration and constipation is proving a bit of a worry. Not sure if I will carry on long term."


"6 years ago I got put on Implanon and had no negative side effects. The three years were up so I switched to the pill for a couple of years and then decided to get put back on it but it changed to Nexplanon. I figured it wouldn't be that much of a difference... I was wrong... I have been breaking out, my face is constantly oily, and I have gained weight... I have had it in since May 2015 and am getting it taken out Feb 2016... I can't handle it. Lol"


"My father is taking this medicine for Cellulitis. Just started it today. Don't know yet how well it will work as he is a Diabetic.  But it is expensive. "


"It worked great for asthma control but do not use it if you have a history of depression. Pretty much threw my rescue away, but made me so depressed and suicidal. But I could breathe! "


"I have been taking it for 2 weeks now.  I do believe it's helping me.
I will post again in about 6 weeks.  Typically, I get a rush of heat over me a few times a day leaving me with a drenched help and droplets of sweat on face head, neck.
Now, so far so good."


"Been taking Cozaar 50mg for over 15 YEARS. Started in my mid 20's. It's worked great for me keeping my BP at 120/85 steadily. I have not other medical conditions and the drug doesn't give me any side effects other than frequent urination. Recently lost some weight and my BP is now even a bit lower."


"My 8yr old daughter has been on Vyvanse for almost 2yrs. She started on 20mg a day, she seemed to be doing better as far as focusing, but very emotional. Her doctor decided to up her dose to 30mg and now 40mg. The 40mg also seemed to help at school her grades went up and she was able to pay attention. I'm now noticing that my little girl is not the same person, she's has become rude, depressed, emotional, getting in trouble, suicidal and just out of control. Parents really should keep a journal of changing side effects they notice. Needless to say my daughter is no longer taking this medication and not yet found one to replace it."


"Works extremely well, will continue to use."


"2 weeks after giving birth to my son I chose to get depo . I been bleeding on and off for 8 months " I'M SO OVER THIS " my side effects are being moody at times, and I'm losing my hair.. lady's your not the only one. You have the right to switch up on your birth control."


"I have been on this awhile I take it at night so I don't feel tired durning the day"


"Was prescribed Amoxycillin (500mg 2 x 2 daily);Clarithromycin (500g 2x daily) and Esomeprazole (40mg 2x daily) for my H pylori. Started taking on Monday. Felt terrible with nausea, brain fog; worst taste ever in my mouth, fatigue and general insecurity. Thursday 4.45am went to ER as I thought I was in serious state. Discharged 2 hrs later as high BP had reduced, blood chemistry all normal. Diagnosis: probable virus .  My local doctor said stop taking all three drugs. Had difficulty in locating alternative. Finally prescribed metronidazole (400mg 3x daily); omeprazole (20mg 1x daily); and bismuth subsalicylate (120mg); tetracycline (500mg). Last two items have had to be made up my compounding chemist. Any feedback on this alternative??"


"The best ever!!!!"


"Don't have any really bad side effects, other than:bad taste, gas , and bloating. Hope it works. Doctor also gave me 3 DIFLUCAN to take on day 3, 5 , and last day of treatment to prevent yeast infection."


"Worse pills ever.. Took it for 3 months and never got my period (I'm not pregnant) I always feel sick and exhausted after a long day a lot of headaches and dizziness.  No sex drive. Don't try it"


"Turned 50 and even though still in very good health, down below became retired.......even though my mind still had an interest, erections and morning wood disappeared for 6 years.

Too embarrassed to see a doctor, finally realised I needed to get checked out....Men;s Dr with good understanding prescribed 5 mg a day low dose........

a few weeks later....

BOING

erections like a 20 year old again....

Doc wants to cut it down to 2.5 mg per day,

but I need 5 mg to stay functional

even though it is expensive

( $100 per month )

BEST DRUG EVER !"


"I love this birth control. Face is absolutely clear, weight is constant, sex drive is amazing, periods are light, PMS is a little higher than usual but nothing excessive. The only thing I worry about is anxiety has increased, but so have other factors in my life that could cause increased anxiety so I don't want to blame it solely on BC. I've been on this birth contol for 2.5 years now- no complaints! However, probably looking into an IUD very soon...Easier for my busy lifestyle. If you take a pill I would recommend this! Makes me sad it has such a low rating."


"My acne was terrible. I felt like I had tried everything and that my next option was going to have to be Accutane (something I really did not want to try!). I tried like 4 different dermatologists before I was finally recommended to try Solodyn and within 2-3 months my acne began clearing and not coming back. I took it for about 6 months and I had a few pimples (but they were nothing like the ones I had before) and some scarring. I started slowing going off the Solodyn by taking half a pill every day and then every other day until I just totally stopped. It's been about 6 or 7 months since my last Solodyn pill and my skin still looks great. I usually will have one or two small pimples but I usually just spot treat with Epiduo."


"Worked well. Some scaring on nose.  However I have to use it again.  So we will see."


"Horrible BC. I have never in my life experienced any skin problems, but once I got on this pill I had pimples all over my face. I got my period almost twice a month and a lot of spotting. Also had mood swings on it. At least my cramps stopped and breast tenderness stopped but other than that HORRIBLE!"


"I have been on 800mg of Nexavar for thyroid cancer since 6-15-2011. Have had issues with the hand/foot blisters, thinning of hair, and diarrhea and blood pressure. My Oncologist has had me back off the pills several times to try and alleviate some of the blisters, but am off work and decided to just deal with it while off. As of 7-30-2011 the blisters have stopped, but I deal with the peeling and re-peeling of my skin. On blood pressure medicines now and have pills for the diarhea. No appetite loss, and thankfully no nausea. A visual inspection from my Oncologist approx. 1 month after beginning the treatment determined that the pills may be shrinking some of my tumors."


"I noticed right away that after I took Clindamycin that I had a bad taste in my mouth and tightening in my chest, which increased in intensity and longevity each day of taking it. After 5 days my chest hurt so bad I almost went to the ER. It felt like a ton of bricks on my chest, but I was breathing normally."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"just started pradaxa and second day had severe heartburn and stomach burning just 15 minutes after taking pill. Checked with my doctor and they suggest taking with food. I tried immediately after lunch also using ranitidinE. It seemed okay. Then second pill after dinner but approximately 2 hours after eating and had almost immediate heartburn and stomach burning. I have had stomach ulcers so I am concerned."


"I had endometriosis and adenomyosis and suffered from severe pains and heavy bleeding. I used to end up in the hospital because the pains were unbearable. They used to give me morphine and other strong painkillers. I was advised to have hysterectomy but I had decided to try Zoladex. After 2  injections within 3 months, my period became painless and the bleeding became lighter.

I haven't been to the hospital for period problems for nearly 2 years now and the lump in my uterus ( adenomyosis) which I could feel on my lower stomach disappeared. I would like to share this because Zoladex really helped me and cured me and have avoided to have hysterectomy."


"I've just had this drug about an hour ago I was scared to death I actually backed out last month. The nurses at my hospital were the best. I had it gone to sleep  and woke up felt like nothing ever happened I have a phobia of being high and I wasn't at all this is the perfect drug I will recommend it to anyone and I would definitely get it again"


"I developed severe shoulder pain in both shoulders after about 5 days. The doctor assured me it wasn't the Vyvanse. Well after 2 weeks of severe pain I thought I'd do my own google search and found plenty of people complaining about vyvanse causing joint pain. I stopped taking vyvanse as soon as I read these forums where people described their joint pain. After 3 days 80% of the pain was gone and it took about a month before 95% was gone. My left shoulder now 'clicks' and often I wake up and my left shoulder is in a position where it's very painful. I wish the doctor would go over all side effects when then prescribe medication so you know when something starts to happen that it is the medication."


"Very good response with pain and stiffness. Added to fibro-fog. This has been very well tolerated with nothing more than a little itching when ready for next dose. A little sleepy late afternoon, I have sensitivities to MANY medicines with weird side effects. I have had nothing but good experience with gabapentin! I would recommend this."


"Also wanted to add since I ran out of room on my last post that this medication has also caused me to have SEVERE hot flashes, I'm going through menopause but my hot flashes were not as bad until I started taking fetzima, after I went off of it for 3 months my hot flashes almost vanished, not as severe and not so many and now I've been back on fetzima again for 3 months and HELLO HOT FLASHES, this medication is the worst!!!!!!!!"


"During unprotected sexual intercourse he fully  ejaculated inside of me (I guess on accident, I'm not even sure.) But I did not want a kid at all so he offered to get me the pill so about 43 hours later I took aftera which I was kind of worried because it was the off brand but I took it anyway and about a week later I have bleeding for 4 days (not my period) and ever since then I had very bad symptoms including cramps, back pains, headaches and much more I always felt tired and was very moody but needless to say about 13 days late I ended up getting my period! This pill worked for me but I am pretty sure it has a lot to do with the fact that all this happened right when my last period ended so I was for sure not ovulating. But don't worry!"


"This medication may be good if all you're dealing with is depression. If you add in chronic pain and anxiety this medication will make you believe for a week or two that you are feeling better then because of the chronic pain and anxiety there will be a low slump with overwhelming feelings of depression, fatigue and wanting to isolate oneself from everything."


"Just like you, I was reading these reviews a few months  ago when I finally made the decision to give medication a try.  I hope this review helps and gives you comfort.

I've been on 50 mg for seven weeks now.Started at 25mg for the first seven days.  The first two weeks saw a spike in anxiety just like I figured.  But I stayed with it, and I'm so glad I did.  I had a pretty intense panic attack the first week, but I noticed something: I didn't stress out about having another one like I usually do.  By the third week the panic attacks and panicky feelings were pretty much gone.  I've also noticed that my mood has lifted, and I can fall asleep much better at night.

This is my first ssri, and I really regret not seeking help sooner"


"This was my favorite pill for almost 20 years. Little to no side effects (with the exception of a little nausea for the first pack or two).  My skin always looked radiant, my periods were super-duper light every month, no cramping, and I never once had a pregnancy scare. Only reason I am switching is because I am now in my 40's and am starting on a 20mcg dose pill.  Would love to stay on it, but lower estrogen doses are considered safer for those over 40.  For younger women who have issues with painful or heavy periods, acne, or who just need highly effective birth control, I highly recommend this pill.  It is available as a generic as well (Necon 777) which seems to work just the same."


"I have been type 2 diabetic for 20 years- tried the diet and exercise then the metformins (never helped) went on lantus insulin and a1c gradually just kept going up and was up to 70 units of insulin and janumet 2x daily. Dr said to either try invokana or insulin shots multiple times a day. Gave it a try- the most horrible yeast infections ever but lost 6lbs in 10 days - decided to stick with it and now almost a year later lost 35 lbs and feel great and a1c is down to 6 and I dropped my insulin down to 25 units! I love this drug! I stuck through the yeast infections and now that the sugar levels is down- I don't get the infections as often! I am thinner than I was in high school!"


"I was diagnosed with colonic inertia and was scheduled for surgery to have my colon removed and the small intestines attached to the rectum due to chronic constipation. I could not have a bowel motion without the use of an enema and was hospitalized several times due to impactions. The last time I was hospitalized I was given Miralax and since then I have had no problems with constipation. I take it once a day or once every 2 days and it has worked wonders for me I am able to have a bowel motion almost every day with no problems. I have experienced no side effects at all. Since it has been working I have decided to opt out of the surgery, it has been so wonderful to feel normal again. I have been so relieved in not having to worry about painful bowel motions, it's great."


"I'm a 42 year old African American who has been diagnosed with Lupus for 16 years.  I've been taking Benlysta for one year now and notice a big difference in my body.  I have more energy before taking the medicine I suffered greatly from fatigue.  I feel little to no joint or muscular pain, before the medicine I suffered from severe inflammation and swelling in my joints and could hardly walk some days.  I now jog on my treadmill, go to Zumba classes and workout at Curves.  The medicine has been a God send for me and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to witness to this great invention.   The only downfall is my insurance will only cover 80% which leave me a hefty 800.00 balance each moth.  I'm on disability and cannot afford this expense."


"Changed my life!"


"I am currently taking this medication for moderate pain reduction. I hurt my wrist by falling on concrete stairs. It does reduce the pain and works very well. The only downside is stomach upset, nausea, and extreme sleepiness. I do not have any kind of narcotic tolerance. This medicine is for minor to moderate relief of pain, and should be used as such. This medicine in my book scores a 8 out of 10 points for managing moderate pain. Highly recommend."


"My lexapro stopped working so I was switched to prozac.  While prozac did help some it didn't help enough.  My psychiatrist prescribed abilify at 2mg to add on to 60mg of prozac.  Within 2 days I was pulled out of the dark hole I was in and  my crying spells were gone.  This pill is a miracle pill."


"I am 30 started taking this due to excessive daydreaming and quite frankly not getting anything done. Could not focus for more than 10 minutes before a thought would come and get distracted by it. Apartment was in a mess. Priorities are all over the place. Wanted to do so many things and all at the same time. So I went to the doctor and left with a prescription for Concerta 18-27-36mg.I don't know if he had the right diagnosis but shit is getting done and everything is great. Less tired, less naps, did not take a nap since I started this. Now I'm at the 36mg step. Truth is the drug is only 10% of the solution. Once you know you can do something, you have to keep that mindset and go with it or else you will take this drug forever and ever."


"Hi everyone,
My new name is Misery... because ever since I got this nexplanon Implant 7 months ago that is what I have been. I have gained 30lbs and went from a size 5 in jeans to a size 8. My hips hurts and feet hurt which didn’t start until I gained the weight from the implant. My mood is awful, I have zero energy and I got stretch marks on my arm in the area that I got the implant. My other arm is fine and I’m just literally depressed right now. I get this horrible implant taken out next week & I cannot wait to get back to my regular self and try to lose all this weight. 1:10 do NOT recommend especially if you Have the tendency to gain weight easily.

Yours truly,
Misery"


"I have been using the product for 2 1/2 months I weighed 267 and now I weigh 242 losing a total of 25 lbs so far. This product helped to lower my blood pressure and give me a boost. Some side affects were insomnia the first week but that went away and dry mouth. My doctor advised me reduce my calorie intake to 1200 ( don't stay consistently below or your hair will fall out) and exercise 5 days a week ... I hope to lose at least  67lbs total"


"Had excruciating leg and knee pain for weeks until finally diagnosed as pseudo-gout. Colchicine did wonders and now virtually pain free. Now the bad news. Three doctors have said it will no longer be made available. "


"This birth control was not that good. It made me get severe migraines and the periods were too light. Cramps were horrible."


"I was switched to this generic the beginning of the year by my insurance. I was on generess (chewable) with no problems what so ever. This pill has made me gain weight. I have stubborn acne in odd places (face, chest, even down there!) that won't go away or pop. My anxiety is through the roof. At least it makes my periods light and pain free."


"So I began the pill 3 months ago and all was well for like 3 weeks then once it came time for my period it lasted 17 days, no joke. It was horrible, no pain really but just way too long and annoying now on the 3 month mark I have been having symptoms of IBS and acid reflux so nauseous all the time and very bloated and crampy, not to mention my anxiety of pregnancy has sky rocketed due to these side effects and the fact my period is so light and only last 4 to 6 days, with no symptoms. It is nice but how am I supposed to know I'm for sure not pregnant. It is horrible can't wait to go to my appointment. I also have gained around 5 pounds that I cant drop in only 3 months. It is horrible for me at least"


"Having read all reviews onsite I went ahead and had my Implanon inserted a week ago. Yes its early days and this is reflected in the rating above for now as a new user. But I feel its important to let others know my experience so far. It was inserted without any trouble by my GP, and with the local anesthetic I didn't even feel a thing. When this wore off yes my arm is bruised and was very sore for the first 48 hours but it is slowly getting back to normal now. At present I have very mild headaches on and off, and lower back pain, but not enough to need to take anything to ease it. So all I am saying is when you are putting hormone into your body yes it will clearly take a while to settle down."


"Great Medication. Cancer patient. Have had a lot of pain since surgery.  Tried numerous medicines.  Kadian 100 mg every twelve hours eliminates the pain which was stopping me from having a normal life.  "


"I'm going on my third week of taking Contrave. The first week, I had instances of diarrhea. The second week, extreme nausea and diarrhea--I had to leave work within an hour. I've also been using their Scale Down program, according to their scale, I've lost 16lbs. however, the physician scale at my job indicates I've only lost 1lb."


"I'm a mother of a patient and I'm researching the effects of the use of the drug methadone as my daughter is getting the highest dosage allowed at the clinic on upscale area of Southwest Ohio. I drive a semi truck to support us. This drug seems to be making our relationship worse than I thought would be possible. I'm seeing an overall moody irritable overreacting person who doesn't want to make time for me when I get back from driving over the road for weeks at a time. My job affords us the most expensive place we have ever lived. A nice car and plenty of food for both of us. I pray my daughter can be set free from the cycles of use and abuse of anything, but I don't think this medicine is the answer. Severe constipation throws a lot of toxins into the body."


"I've had this birth control for about 8 months now and ever since then my mood swings and anxiety level are terrible. I want to eat constantly. I've gained roughly 30 pounds or more in this period of time. I have back aches once a month when my period should be here. The plus side is I do not have a period and have not gotten prego but the weight gain is awful and I was told that it wasn't normal on this to gain a lot of weight."


"When I took Latuda, I had terrible back spasms that lasted for hours. I couldn't stop moving and when I sat down I had to rock back and forth for any comfort. I know that maybe it was because I took 120 mg a day but, when I started taking lower doses with cogentin it was just getting worse. I now have been off of it for almost a year and I have never felt better except with the occasional back pain. I know this may not help you but, know that there are always going to be people out there to support you. They gave me this drug at that dose when I was fourteen and I know why. I hope this helps in any way"


"I live in chronic pain. Although I am on another opioid that is the primary care taker of pain, Vicodan ES has been essential in keeping me functional during the day when pain breaks through and pounds me into the dirt. It is excellent in stopping the breakthrough pain, and although I have been on it on a regular basis for 2 years, when and if I should run out, I do not have withdrawal reactions. I have been foolish enough to just not take the medication when needed due to fear of addiction; however, this is not wise. The "pain cycle" is a cycle you deal with using prudence. Bottom line is if you are hurting and are experiencing undue duress, take the prescribed medication and remain comfortable."


"I have been on Xulane for nearly 6 months. I was on a pill before I used this patch. The pills weren't good for me because I would simply forget to take them! Here I am now 6 months later with scars & blisters on my arms & legs where the patch was located. It is absolutely terrible & I don't recommend it at all! Every body is different but if you are sensitive to adhesive products this isn't for you! & also they don't stay on for a week they usually fall off so be careful!!"


"I was prescribed this medication because of the extreme stresses associated with a chronic disabling disease called relapsing polychondritis. It has destroyed all of my joints, cervical spine damage, ataxia, and the loss of everything in my life that I had worked 30 years to obtain. All gone. I am the type of person who is more angry, agitated, infuriated, by the effects of this condition than I am sad or depressed about it. I was also in chronic pain daily too since May of 2012. NO painkillers would help this type of pains. I can NOT take methotrexate, DMARDs, biologics, only prednisone, a great diet, and an occasional NSAID. Then my Doc gave me this. I am so happy at this moment (not) to feel the burning sensations, squeezing, aching, pain."


"I have been on phentermine exactly a week today and have lost 6lbs! I go to the gym 5 times a week for 45 min to an hour. Only side effect is dry mouth. I want to lose 25 more lbs so I'm sure I'll be at my goal by summer."


"I've always been a sufferer of chronic constipation.  Thought that Amitiza would be my miracle pill. Here are my pros and cons:

Pro - When I actually go, I REALLY go. I'm not feeling left bloated and cramped.

Con - I'm usually nauseous for about an hour after taking my pills. I'm not able to go on my own. I have to use a Fleet to get things going."


"I am 25 yrs old, no kids and have never been pregnant. After almost 10 years of being on the pill, my doctor and I decided it was time for some thing different. Insertion was very painful, the first one we were trying was faulty so I had to purchase another one right after to be placed. It was extremely uncomfortable, even after being advised to take 800mg of Motrin! I had my boyfriend bring me to and from the doctor, which I would recommend. After I got home I placed a heating pad on my lower abdomen and slept for about 2 hrs! After I woke up I felt like a completely different person! I had no aches or pains, back to normal! I would highly recommend this to any woman, there's no more remembering! I love it!"


"I have had constipation my entire life (I'm nearly 64).  My father (deceased) was a Physician & kept things 'working' with various medications.  As an adult, and after being diagnosed with Lupus in '84, it gradually worsened.  I had tried everything.  My normal routine was a bowel movement every 5-7 days, and then it was difficult.  I have been hospitalized for impaction.In the more recent years I have been on a Miralax type product twice a day & 24mcg of Amitiza (once or twice a day).  Amitiza is the ONLY thing that has ever worked.  I can't remember how long it took to 'kick' in, but after decades of food not transitioning through my system, I was patient.  I couldn't function without it.  I feel somewhat normal now.  AMAZING!"


"After suffering from Rosacea for as long as I could remember I visited my doctor who gave me a sample pack of Mirvaso. As instructed applied it the following morning after my shower. I waited (as instructed) 5/10 minutes to then apply my moisturiser. I did the same for the next 3 days and was stunned and so impressed by the results! For the first time in years I wasn't red! Unfortunately on the fourth day I became bright red in my T-Zone and worse than I had ever been. I applied it again the next morning. My face was fantastic all day but by 5.00pm that night my whole face was redder than ever before. I was in a shop and the owner asked if I had high blood pressure (I don't) because I was so red! I have stopped using it"


"My husband went on Janument and I noticed one day that he was slurring his words. I thought since he had pancakes with sugar free syrup he had a reaction to the syrup. He went off the medication and the slurring stopped."


"I've been on lolo for 8 months now. It's finally time I give my review. The first 3 months I had very light periods then after I just didn't have any periods. As we speak my breasts started to be tender. This is the first time in 8 months. Also I get yeast infection like every month. I am super dry down there even with foreplay. My sex drive is gone through the window. I do not have anymore mood swings so that's a plus. I'm taking an appointment to change my bc. I tried jasmin, alesse, IUD copper, marvelon, the patch. So yeah I've been around and tried them all. Maybe it just wasn't for me."


"Did not work for me. I didn't experience a stuffy nose caused by mucous after I started using it, but my nasal passages always felt swollen, dry and painful."


"I'm 16, I was on the Depo shot for 8 months but had crazy bleeding, switched to Loestrin. First 3 months were great, minimal bleeding/no periods. This is my 5th month and I'm finally having periods (not complaining, takes the scare out of thinking I'm pregnant). I started to have horrible cramps and I get super bloated about a week before I start. For the past week I've been on verge of crying every 5 minutes. I have CRAZY mood swings. And I've been slightly depressed. I can't handle it anymore and I'm going to switch. "


"I was prescribed this to be taken 4 times daily for 3 days. My UTI symptoms were gone by the first day. I have now finished the course and my UTI is gone. This medication worked great for the infection. I did not experience any serious side effects except some tiredness, 'spaced out' feeling, and on the 2nd day I did feel very 'down' not sure if that was because of the medication. However on the third day I feel fine."


"I was reluctant to take Viagra because of some of the reviews regarding health problems after taking Viagra, but I tried it once. I took the Viagra at 5.30 pm. I felt nothing till 6.15 pm, At 6.15 pm, I felt some heat in my body, with slight fullness in my head. At 6.40 pm, I met my girl friend and I took her to room, I felt somewhat difference in body, I felt erection for long time (previously without Viagra, when I tried putting condom, I lost the erection), but now after taking Viagra, I can hold the erection after condom and can do good sex too. I did sex twice on that session. But one thing I have noticed is that time to ejaculate is same with and without taking Viagra, only difference I felt is that I can hold the erection."

"Been on it for 2 years now I love it. Helped me lose weight. When I was on Depo I weighed 145 now I am down to 129. No spotting no complaints, 4 periods a year, what could be better."


"I have been on Falmina for about 4 months now and at first I was severely hormonal. I went through a little depression period while on it and had anger outbursts but after the second pack they subsided. My periods before I was on it were very painful because of severe cramps. But Falmina has stopped the cramping and has made my periods very short. The thing I dont necessarily like is I have spotting around the 3rd row of the pill almost a week before I am supposed to get my period, which is annoying. My appetite has increased a bunch but good diet and exercise is a part of my daily life so I have actually lost weight on the pill. My boyfriend and I have been sexually active and don't use condoms or Use withdrawal method and I haven't gotten prego!"


"My dermatologist would prescribe other medicines, and pills before Cloderm and my skin would continue to constantly itch and crack and after a a couple weeks of using Cloderm, I instantly felt the difference and I highly recommend this medicine with anyone with eczema."


"I started taking St John's wort after researching and reading a lot about it. Well after a couple of weeks on it, I noticed a difference. It's taken the edge off my anxiety and depression, I feel calmer and a lot less irritable! I'm happy with the results and have had maybe one headache when I first started, I will continue to take it and record my progress, I'm now looking forward and feeling optimistic about the future!!"


"I've never had BV before, so when I got this medication I was relieved thinking it'll be gone in no time. Well I was fine the first day I took it, with slight nausea. Second day I felt more nauseated. This is my third day and this morning when I took it... I was soooo dizzy heading to my classes I thought I was going to pass out. I also felt so sick from the time I got up and worsened after I took the medication. I have been shaky all day, still feel sick and dizzy. I also have this awful taste in my mouth along with a dry mouth. I am going to continue to take it because it seems to help but it's either too strong for me or I am just one unlucky gal that gets the side effects."


"Reduces the pain in my feet and legs due to diabetic neuropathy. Been on it for a little over one year."


"I love this product! I have been sweating for years now and was too embarrassed to mention it to my doctor but finally, after ruining all of my closed, I asked her what to do. It works so great but I get the itching/ burning that other people have said. That's my only problem with the product but it is worth it! "


"I have not had any problems with any possible side effects listed. I can eat greens! No PT-INR tests every month. So far I am very happy with Xarelto."


"I too am having a difficult time trying to figure out dosage.  For example I take the same dose every night: Wednesday night I have some cheese, sausage and 1/4 cup pretzels my morning sugar level was 158. Last night I had a huge bowl of ice cream, morning sugar 90. WTH!!
This stuff also burns while injecting. I absolutely hate it."


"Daytrana made me manic, paranoid, and eventually psychotic. I had no difficulty stopping using it--no cravings. After I was off it I had withdrawal symptoms the likes of which I cannot describe; simply sheer misery and dread, almost total insomnia. It last 1.5 years."


"I'm on my second week of Claravis 20mg, 29yrs old. My first week was okay, until I get my period, and now I'm breaking out again. I always breakout around my period. I hope it gets better. Maybe birth control pill will help my acne, but I don't want to take any birth control pills."


"I just got mine today about 2 hours ago and I felt NO PAIN WHAT-SO-EVER.  I had read all of these reviews a few days ago and wasn't to worried but was expecting to feel some pain.  Apparently the Doctor expected me to be a little uncomfortable as well because he kept asking if I was doing okay, and when it was done he said I did wonderful.  Of the whole process the only complication was that the Doctor dropped the betadine and spilled it all over himself..LOL. I actually laughed most of the way through the procedure while discussing the bad case of the "Dropsies" he was experiencing that day. Still at this point I am not having any problems or cramps that would make me uncomfortable.  Hopefully it will be this uneventful for the duration."


"Taking this medicine after RAI for hyperthyroidism, since I was 18 yrs old now 36. Feel great, the only side effect is about my hair but is worth it. I have a normal life thanks of this medicine. I also walk and do yoga, eat healthy and have a positive attitude about my problem, keep myself busy help me too."


"Celebrex is great for pain, ten out of ten - but for me, it has unwanted side effects, such as stomach bloat and hair loss. I was on it for 3 years, and came off of it, and now I am back on it because of the pain.  But, I am going to try some other osteoarthritis medicines, and hope for less side effects. I'm female and the side effects of Celebrex are terrible."


"Horrible i will never take it again my stomach hurt so bad for like a week i felt super bloated and my back hurt don't recommend this pill "


"Sober a year 8-25-11. God, AA and Campral have worked. No cravings I couldn't handle. Together all have helped me have a new lease on life. Feel better, work has improved. Highly recommend this medicine if you want to quit drinking."


"I have been taking Lexapro for 2 and a half weeks and I already feel tons better. I have terrible GAD and my anxiety has gotten a whole lot better already. I dont just sit around and worry constantly about everything anymore, which is wonderful. I really think Lexapro is going to work for me. The side effects are also minimal which is great. I was on Pristiq before Lexapro and the side effects were so horrible that I only took it for a week. So, compared to that I think Lexapro is absolutely wonderful."


"This medication is awesome. I was experiencing difficulty going to the bathroom. My bowels felt locked up inside of me causing great discomfort. I was in so much pain my wife drove me to do the doctor ASAP the same day and I was given this medication. After taking the medication, three hours later my bowels moved and I did not have to strain and feel the discomfort. Thank God for this medication. It is awesome!"


"I have been on Implanon for 6 years. Before getting it I tried every other birth control excluding an iud. This has been the best one I have been on. I do not have periods, except when I start a new diet and exercise and start to lose weight. Then I get one and I have pretty bad cramping but really light bleeding. I have not gained any weight that can't be explained by my own fault. The only things I would say is a bad side effect for me is that I have no sex drive at all, and I also have a lot of dryness when I do try to have sex. Those are my only two complaints. I love not having to remember to take a pill every day and I love that it lasts three years. I'll be getting my third implant later this month."


"39 year old female, 65 pounds overweight. Had been exercising intensely (700 calories per day, 1.5 - 2 hours per day in the gym, part cardio, part strength) and monitoring calories under the guidance of a trainer for 6 months. Lost only 3 pounds. Was at the highest weight of my life and completely frustrated. Started Qsymia and lost 45  pounds in 5 months. Kept walking/exercising but not as intensely (about 30 - 45 minutes per day) and of course maintained a reduced calorie diet. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience and I am now about to get to my goal weight. I will stay on this for as long as it is on the market. It gave me my body back, my confidence, and my health."


"I will never have this shot again. It made my skin loose & wrinkled. Researchers don't have a clue if this helps bones or not.

I can tell you I completely reget trying prolia.And hate seeing Blythe Danner doing this commercial."


"I was recently taken off of lithium for bipolar because of my thyroid problems. I am very happy with Latuda. It works quickly and makes me feel normal for the most part. I have only had a little irritability, but it quickly subsided.  The main problem I have had with Latuda is drowsiness. I take it at night, but am still having a difficult time waking up. I'm going to try taking it earlier, like right after dinner, and see if that helps me wake up earlier. I have to wake up by 6:00 a.m. once school starts again since I am a teacher.  I have been waking up around 10:00 a.m., and don't think that will work. I recommend trying Latuda!"


"I had been on cipralex (lexapro) for about a year when I noticed I was feeling too tired all the time for my liking. I asked about SNRI's because they tend to give more "energy". I got switched to Effexor and didn't have a good experience at all. I couldn't stop thinking about terrible things, I had bad anxiety, excessive sweating at night and my heart would race too much too often. I had to get off after 9 weeks because it was not working for me at all. It made me really appreciate the escitalopram I was taken before.

Clearly different antidepressants work differently for others. I'm just sharing my own experience. Some may do really well on Effexor, unfortunately I didn't."


"I've been on the NuvaRing for almost 4 years with very few issues. I've never had a pregnancy scare but have had a few issues with bleeding/spotting in between periods especially if I leave the ring in for 4 weeks and try to skip my period. Now I follow the 28 day cycle (leave it in for 3 weeks, take it out for 1 week then put a new one in) and have no issues. I have never had issues with mood swings, weight gain etc. If you pay attention and use the ring in the way that's best with your body (leaving it in and skipping your period or taking it out and having your period) you shouldn't have any issues."


"Have been on metformin for most of 7 years. I have not experienced any side effects as far as I can tell. It helps control my blood sugar. But the most effective control I have is diet. I was eating healthy and exercising regularly until about 2 years ago. Had my A1c down to 5.9. Got lazy and now it is in the 7's. Also have arthritis in knees and it is hard to exercise. I take 2500mg a day."


"I unfortunately wouldn't recommend this based on my experience. I got it in and had my period for about 2 months straight. Then 3 weeks came where it went away and then it came back even worse and lasted for another 5 to 6 weeks. During those 5 weeks there were about 18 total hours where I wasn't bleeding. Not to mention my back broke out which it's never done before and my mood was affected alot also. Three days after it was inserted I cried for like 4 hours for no reason. I finally got it out yesterday and I couldn't be more relieved. The agony consumed me. I wish It worked for me like it did with others who had their period stop completely and no side effects. Good luck! Lol"


"I took Cymbalta for fibromyalgia for about 2 years. I started on 30mg a day and it slowly stopped being effective so I then was boosted to 60mg a day. By the end of the two years I was taking 90mg a day and it was no longer working. I was devastated that it stopped working because when it did work it was great."


"I've taken Diovan for 5 years.  It controlled my blood pressure for about 4 years and then my blood pressure started to rise.  My only side effects that I am aware of is extremly cold feet and loss of sex drive.

I have sinced switched to Metoprolol with no improvement and same side effects.  Both of these drugs are expensive.

I'm going to ask my doctor if I can be switched to Atenolol.  According to description of this drug in Drugs.com, it seems to be the same, except you can get it from Walmart or Walgreen's for $4."


"Taken for chronic neck pain. Not only did it not help my neck pain but also triggered a migraine and made me very nauseous. It also caused drowsiness and chills."


"I have been taking Celexa for 4 years.  All of a sudden, it stopped working and I spent 4 days feeling like I didn't want to live any more.  I had no idea that my body could build up an immunity and it simply would stop working. "


"I had fibroids & ovarian cysts and the doctor said the only way to prevent painful periods was to go on the pill I was horrified. I had been on the pill for 10 yrs previously and 3 years clean. In those 3 years I finally felt free.

Junel seemed okay at first, no side effects. But now I am on my 10th month and slowly figuring out that maybe this has to do with my 10lb weight gain since I started taking it.

I cry easily and am way sensitive. Not sure if its the pill or weight gain but I have absolutely no sex drive. "


"I felt like normal again!"


"I am speechless!  I have struggled with sweaty armpits for years. My sweat has ruined so many of my shirts over the years that I simply throw them away once the sweaty smell is unbearable.  While in the military it was so bad I would actually cut holes in my military uniform in the under arm area so that I could get cool air in hopes to eliminate heavy sweat.  I could go on and on. Today is my first day and I know this product works because by now I would have my desk fan pointing directly at my underarms to keep me dry and cool to prevent sweating.  I'm am so happy now. This solution I know will change my personal and professional life so much. No more fear of getting too close to people now.  This may turn an introvert to an extrovert."


"Just taken 5 of 6 tabs - really don't think can face another day feeling like death. Husband woke me in the night to check temperature - 39.9 said I was panting! He does not normally panic. Can't eat. If I sweat it stinks presumably of chemicals. Splitting headache. Extreme lethargy. Basically went to bed and slept as much as I could. Terrible stomach cramps belching and wind. Best of all I don't even know if this drug is the correct one for me as lab results not back until Monday. Never again for me."


"I love this stuff! Instant relief from nasal discomfort.  The only problem I have is it causes me severe leg and foot cramps.  Didn't see this listed on any other complaints, just wondering if anyone else has had this reaction?"


"My doctor prescribed me Lo Loestrin when I was 15 to treat my heavy, irregular periods and cramps that would cause me to stay home from school/other obligations for days at a time. It worked perfectly for me for the 5+ years that I used it! My periods lightened and became extremely regular, and it worked as pregnancy prevention later as well. I didn't experience any abnormal weight gain, and it didn't affect my acne whatsoever (neither lightened it nor made it heavier). I would definitely recommend LLF!"


"I have really bad knee pain, I tried everything and nothing worked. Vicoprofen is the best so far."


"I take Vistaril for anxiety and it helps a lot. It does make me tired, but that's okay because I also have trouble sleeping due to the anxiety."


"I hate this pill. The first three months went by smoothly. Suddenly my face began breaking out and leaving horrible dark marks. After that my mood began to change. I'm now 5 months into these pills and I feel like a completely different person. I can't sleep at night if I take these pills, but I sleep perfectly if I skip a dose. I cry or get upset over small things, which is very unlike me. I don't feel like doing anything anymore. It's a chore to get out of bed. I'm gaining weight like crazy even though my appetite hasn't changed. I was a very happy and energetic person before taking these pills. I don't recognize myself. I plan to either switching brands or getting off of birth control completely. I need to find my happiness/sanity again."


"It helped slow my period but it gave me intense cramps. Will be switching as soon as this pack is up"


"This has slowed my period down which is what I want. It's nice that if I decide to do anything with my spouse that I don't have to remember anything. I have been having major spotting and some shooting pains. My doc said the pain isn't from this but it started after I got this. I do not like the spotting or pain."


"Upper endoscopy with propofol. I'm prone to panic attacks and nervous around drugs. But I can see now why some people call propofol a miracle drug. I had a mild burning sensation in my arm as it was injected, like a slight bee sting, lasted 10 seconds. I don't remember falling asleep, but it must have been 20 seconds or less. I had no memory of the procedure, nor any discomfort. I woke up in a new room what felt like an instant later. Mild after effects: drowsy, loopy/euphoric (everything seemed funny), my limbs were heavy and I was a bit unsteady. But I was mentally alert, able to start eating, dressing, and using my phone to type emails within minutes of waking. Easy, easy procedure, so if you're an anxious type like me, don't worry."


"Have taken 2 capsules daily not at all effective ."


"In just six weeks Zyprexa has me balanced. My mood swings are virtually non existent and I can do the things that I enjoy and thoughts were gone forever."


"I am a 31 year old female. I was prescribed Lamictal by my psychiatrist after describing my terrible mood swings. I was easily annoyed, agitated, and irritable. I would go from super happy and laughing to crying and screaming at the drop of a hat. I tried so hard to control it, but I couldn't. This medication has leveled me out so much. I feel much more "normal." I'm currently taking 50 mg twice a day. After about a month, I do notice my symptoms start to return. I tell my psychiatrist, and he ups my dose. I'm hoping I'll eventually reach a dosage that'll stick. I still have some anxiety (especially social anxiety), but this medication has helped me so much. It has really improved my personal relationships."


"Side effects like extreme fatigue and shortness of breath limited my dosage which limited the drug's effectiveness at pain relief."


"Okay so. It's my first night, on monistat 7. And let me tell you I applied the inserted the cream and I don't know if I inserted it too far but it said do it as far as you can to prevent leaking. After I inserted the cream I was like "pssshh what was my sister talking about? this really doesn't even burn". Then. It happened. My vagina was ON FIRE. I tried to lay down and immediately jumped up and ran to the bathroom it was oozing out and still is even laying down. It still burns but I can say about an hour into it; it slightly has eased off. But it's still feels like there is so much heat. But ladies we got this. Let's get through these 7 days, and kick monistats A$$"


"It has done the job in lowering my cholesterol within 3 months."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Had my endo and colonoscopy at 730am. Started taking first dose at 730pm night before. It took an hour to work with a bit of cramping nausea. It kept working for the next three hours. Took second dose at 2am. Almost vomited due to nausea and spent the next couple hours at the restroom. Second dose works faster. The hardest part is taking so much water within the hour.  For those like that are worried about the actual procedure or sedation. Don't be ...the procedure is the easiest. Good luck to everyone."


"I took acutane for 6 months when I was in high school for chest and back acne. Fast forward, I'm 22 and my chest acne was returning at a quick rate. I had a new pimple almost every day and that left 4 huge red and painful marks on my chest. My friend had tried epiduo but sadly it didn't help her so she let me try it. And in SEVEN days of applying it in the morning and night my chest has completely cleared. I read a lot of reviews that it did not help people, but actually hurt them. My chest suffered no pain but I'm sure chest skin and face skin are very different. I even used it as a spot treatment near my mouth and it cleared up in a couple days. I am so glad I found epiduo because it's helped me so much"


"I am chronic asthmatic and have to take prednisolone on average at least once a month (8 tablets a day for 7 days). Sometimes i cant walk from my bed to my bathroom for a wee i cant breathe that much. But after taking peednisolone, within the next few hours i can walk every time. However, i have raging mood swings, my back teeth have crumbled out from taking too many tablets, my bones are weak and i am always hungry. But without them i wouldn't be able to breathe. Luckily i live in the UK and we have the NHS x"


"Effexor saved my life!!!! I was so hesitant at first to try this drug because to me it seemed so powerful compared to Zoloft and Celexa which I've been on in the past. I was also nervous bc of the reviews I read with ppl talking about all the horrible side effects. I'm here to tell you DONT BELEIVE EVERYTHING YOU READ. Effexor is absolutely amazing!!! I had no side effects at all. If I had to say I had any it would be cold sweats for maybe a day but that's it. I take 150mg ER a day and I am back to my old self if not better. My advice is that everyone's body reacts differently to medication and not everyone experiences the same things. This drug is amazing and has helped my depression in every way...."


"I started Victoza 2 1/2 weeks ago due to insulin resistance and weight that won't come off. I know I have lost some weight. My appetite is reduced. There is no pain with the shot. I have only had nausea 2 x. HOWEVER, I am concerned about infections, This is listed as a possible side effect and after a week of being on this, I have 3 different infections in my body! This is not normal for me! My blood sugar numbers are down, but still not as low as I would like."


"I am officially a Non Smoker for the first time in 25 years. Chantix has been a miracle for me and it less than 2 weeks to quit. I'm so happy and would recommend it to anyone. I also haven't had any side effects with the drug. Good luck, hope this helps whoever is reading this and I also want you to know, if I can quit.....you can too!!!&"


"Remarkable !  Have had HepC for over 30years. Asymptomatic. Started an 8 week course of Harvoni about 7 weeks ago. Viral load went from 2 million down to UNDETECTABLE !  After just 28 days. Wow! Side effects are annoying but manageable. Have had headaches, fatigue, bloating, insomnia and body aches. But I just rest when I need to. Don't give up hope!"


"I've had this form of birth control for almost a year now and I am not sure if its worth it for me personally. I have my period for over two weeks and get the most horrendous cramps and pains during this time and sometimes randomly experience the same pain even when I'm not ovulating. I just worked out and got the cramps again. My OBGYN said it's a normal thing within the first 6 months but I've have it closer to a year and the symptoms still exist."


"Have been on Lessina for 3 months (no placebo week) to prevent recurrent ovarian cysts. My 6 cm cyst has shrunk to below 3cm. I feel great, fewer mood swings and no weight gain or other symptoms. I am 44, and my doctor doesn't want me to take it for very long, but I feel it has been helping."


"I'm 18. I've been using this since I was 11. This really helps me, hands down the best product. I always find myself running back to this product! I'm not even kidding right now. I broke out so much and I finally bought it and it works wonders. I tried so many products. You name it, I used it. This cleared me up and everyone was complimenting on how clear my skin was. I was once again confident! Then after a while when I was 17, I started breaking out again but this time it was hormonal. They were painful acne, it hurt to move my face and everything but thanks to Benzaclin it changed everything. Yes, it gets real dry and itchy but it's worth it because in the end you get beautiful skin."


"this medication is amazing and has changed my life for the better! However like most SSRI's it does neg impact sex drive etc and it did lead to weight gain"


"I was just reading about this lady that said she had to change medication because of drug test's at her work. Well if you have a perscription from your doctor you don't have to worry about the results of the screening. Take it from the horses mouth,,,,mine."
