"I have Neuropathy in all 4 limbs. I have been on so many pain pills and the only relief I get is from the oxycodone 30mgs - 4 X a day and Oxycontin 40mgs twice a day. If not for Oxycontin. I would not be able to function at all. I couldn't get out of bed. The break-through pain is controlled with the oxycodones. If not for both of these medications I wouldn't have a life. As long as you are not abusing them you are fine. I have a Doctor who helps me and knows how much pain I am in and cannot function without them. "


"Hysingla er was a blessing for me!! Dealing with severe chronic pain for 16yrs. When Dr first told me I was very skeptical and at the point I told dr I was ready to have the surgery. I switched my pain medicine from OxyContin ER 20mg 2x day Norco 10mg 2xs day for  break thru pain. I was still Watching clock bc I was still in pain waiting for next dose of pain relief. Now I only need 1 hysingla ER 30 mg. amazing!!!  The pain does not control me I never thought I would know what it felt like!! If you're curious about HYSINGLA ER ask your Dr.

"Hi everyone , I'm 39 years old guy from sweden, I have soft tissue sarcoma in my stomach wall and it spread to the bones (legs both femural head and sternum and my headscull that was removed) I have started votrient 201508 800mg/day. The first 2 weeks I had a fever and felt really sick, stomach problems pain and diarrhea, it took about 1-2 months before I felt normal with this med, the pain from my bone mets disappeard pretty fast (1month), I have had new scans after 3 months and the results was pretty good, sternum and right leg was nothing left :) the left leg there is only about 30% left. I'm going to have new scans this month so lets see hoping for more good news.... the stomach tumour was the same"


"Everyone is giving this drug a bad rep... I've been on 2 pills, this one only makes me moody just before my period which is normal for someone not on birth control, no weight gained and my acne isn't awful. By not awful I mean I've had acne for 7 years and in the past year on this medication it hasn't been as bad as it has been in the past. No medication is perfect but this is a pretty good one, I think a lot of people blame this medication for their life problems when that just may be their life."


"I started taking lysteda 3 months ago.  The first month was great except once I was done my period came back but not heavy. The next month I had 2.5 days of mess and my period stopped. I didn't take anymore as it makes me feel like crap. Now 49 days later I still haven't had a period.  Not sure I will take this again."


"I used this for hayfever when I was 17 and it made me drowzy. I'm now 26, have suffered from insomnia for many years. Recently, I remembered about these making me drowzy as a teen so I decided to buy some in the hope that they'd help me sleep. They didn't really do much to help; they might have made me slightly more drowzy but they no way had the same effect on me a 9 years ago."


"I was on this for 2.5 weeks. I was on a 50mg dosage and I don't know if it was too much for my body (I weigh under 110) but the severity of my panic and anxiety worsened. At first it made have insomnia and then after a week it was the complete opposite - uncontrollably falling asleep immediately about 30 minutes after taking the dose and it became incredibly hard to wake up in the morning. It would feel like lifting 400 lbs to make my legs move in the morning and I would still feel tired after 14 hours of sleep. My fearful thoughts became worse and completely clouded my head, and I had this overwhelming feeling of impending doom resulting in panic attacks. Also loss of appetite from a combination of the extreme dry/cracked mouth and nausea."


"Didn't do anything for my pain! This stuffs is rubbish."


"I have had CHRONIC cluster headaches since 1978. Of the dozens of medications I have been prescribed, the only one that has brought me sustained relief over the years is Cyproheptadine.  I have been on it since 1984, 8-mg twice a day every day (except during my pregnancies when I stopped all medicines, reverting to indescribable pain).  My cluster headaches are not cured by cyproheptadine, but the severity of pain is reduced to a tolerable level.  No side effects.  Also, I had an occipital nerve stimulator implanted in 2007, which continues to help tremendously.  Best abortive for me has been Ultram, 3 tablets taken at onset of pain (I try to limit this to 1 or 2 times per day, taken at the times I most need to function well)."


"I started to have severe panic attacks out of nowhere 3 weeks ago. I didn't even want to leave the house, and I started to self isolate. My friends started to wonder why I was acting weird, and I honestly thought there was no hope. My doctor prescribed me 0.5 mg twice a day of klonopin, and it has worked GREAT. I have only taken two doses, and I am starting to feel normal. I am tired, but my doctor told me that I would feel sleepy for the first couple of days. But this medicine has worked wonders for me already, now I can focus on moving on from my anxiety attacks!"


"With both parents hypothyroid, I was diagnosed hypothyroid at 7 years old, so have 50  years of personal experience with thyroid medicines.  Armour Thyroid is absolutely the best in my opinion. Doctors tried to "fool my body" with assorted synthetic products, but my system (& Mom's) did not do the T3-T4 conversion.  On top of the usual problems of being functionally underdosed I developed worse results:  thrombocytopenia (critically low platelets), high cholesterol, inability to metabolize calcium leading to lower bone density than my own mother.  On Synthroid one Internal Medicine doctor even wondered if I had Hashimoto's Disease.  Use Armour.  Treat the patient."


"So I've been on Tri-Nessa for almost 2 months,and each time i start a new pack i get bad stomach pains and then on week 2 everything is back to normal. Since I've been on it i vomited twice and anytime i eat something my stomach feels empty, even though i ate a lot. My periods have been coming on time and my face is clearing. My only problem is the bad stomach pains."


"The medicine itself I didn't have an issue with, although I still prefer Klonopin, but it was the withdrawal I couldn't handle.  I was on this medication for two months and since, like I previously mentioned, I decided to go back on Klonopin. I stopped taking the Xanax XR. When I did, I felt like a bus ran over me.  I felt shaky, drowsy and like I'd been out drinking the night before (which I haven't done in 10 years). It really wasn't worth the withdrawal."


"I had psoriasis for years on my feet. I was prescribed tons of stuff but it never worked then my foot doctor prescribed me coal tar. It not only got rid of my redness and itchiness in weeks but it didn't come back. It's now been 3 yrs since my last breakout."


"What's dangerous about reading reviews online is that people are much more inclined to go online and scream about an medicine when it doesn't work for them while those who it works for blissfully embrace its effects and don't feel the need to go online and write a glowing review. For the past 8 months I've increasingly found myself experiencing the latter and I have to say that Viibryd has changed my life. I had tried numerous other SSRI's that all left me feeling like a zombie. I had wanted to go on one that had less chance of sexual side effects so before this I tried Luvox was awful. Viibryd has nearly eliminated my social and general anxiety with positive sexual side effects. I highly recommend it to anyone."


"Slow to work but eventually gets there."


"I hate the over the counter creams. They do work but they are messy. I take fluconazole right when I begin to itch or with my first dose of antibiotics and then again in 3 days. If I take it when I already have discharge and discomfort I use an over the counter cream with it. All symptoms go away within a few hours. No more than 24 hours."


"I find most of these reviews funny. Most of the reviews are from young girls who don't have any children yet. So when they write "extremely painful", "worst pain", "excruciating pain when they put it in" I literally want to laugh. It is NOTHING compared to childbirth. I honestly didn't even flinch when they put it in. I had my daughter in September and got it inserted a week ago yesterday (January 4th). Yes, there was some cramping and a little bleeding, but nothing an ibuprofen and little panty liner couldn't handle. My husband and I don't want to have another baby until our daughter is a year old, and after discussing with my OB this was the best choice for us. I recommend this to anyone EVERYDAY over having to take the pill every night."


"Took for three days. Immediately developed a craving for cigarettes. The next day I started to feel out of sorts and a stabbing pain in my heart. Stopped immediately but the other drugs I took after that made me even worse. Not recommended at all."


"Amazing. I tryed viagra with a lot of doubt. I am so impressed, its like being 16 years  old again . I tryed 100mg first but I now only use 50 mg. Canada has generic brands now. I think only USA does not have generic available ."


"I haven't gained weight, or had more breakout, but I have had three one week periods in a months time. I haven't even finished the first pack. And I know things. Take time to get working well, but this is just a bad sign to me"


"Great for stopping cravings!"


"So I had unprotected sex with my guy on Sep 15th and took Plan B within an hour or so. The next few days I had spotting, tender breasts, felt awfully nauseous and tired. Today's the 23rd and I got my period. It is a day early and a bit lighter, but I am glad it is here. The pill works though I am going to go on regular birth control pills so that I never experience this stress again."


Osteolytic Bone Metastases of Solid Tumors

"Had horrible side effects from zo meta

Will not take this med ever again.Hospitalized for 7 days and now at rehab trying to walk again.

Please research this med and read testimonals before taking, wish I had."


"Wow. I am so nauseated took my first dose today at 3pm. It's 7:22 am woke up vomiting. I am a little scared of this product but I will continue to take shots at .6 at least for one week. Saxsenda seems to be a powerful weight loss product. I will write another review in one week. I am at 288 lbs. My goal is to drop under 200 . I will be OK if I can reach 180 lbs. And train myself to stay on a strict died on my own.."


"I have fibromyalgia. Meloxicam together with Naproxen, the only medicines that gave me considerable relief; although as expected, it is still not enough for fibromyalgia in particular. However, it is surprisingly good for a NSAID."


"I have had this in my arm for three months first month no bleeding second month bleeding for one week third month I have been on my period from Nov 5 2015 until Now ..and its almost Dec. My life feels like it is going downhill, my boyfriend mad because I made the choice without him and we can't even have sex because of the bleeding and my doctor said wait until Feb for removal.  I feel like I'm going to pass out before then and  I just can't take it any more"


"I had the worst and most painful experience of my freakin life having a double ear infection. I went to my local urgent care and the doctor prescribed Amoxicillin, &this made it SO MUCH WORSE. After 8 days of the amoxicillin, I was hysterically crying from the pain. So I went back to urgent care and saw a different doctor, he prescribed me Cefuroxime & some ear drops. I am on day 4 of this antibiotic and the pain is nothing like it was before, but I am still feeling it. Frankly, I've had a broken nose, too many sinus infections to count, etc. and NOTHING compares to the severity of the pain that this ear infection caused me. I am still in pain but just not as much. THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE is a warm compress or ice pack to help with pain."


"I have been on this medicine for 5 weeks . It's been a bit of an adjustment but now that it has kicked in I feel great. No more anxiety or panic attacks. I started out at 5mg then went to 7.5 and now I am at 10mg which seems to be the best dose for me. The first 1-2 weeks was the hardest. Loss of appetite and increased anxiety.  Glad I gave it a few weeks to work because now I feel great."


"Aczone works really well. I had a lot of acne on my face specially on my chin area, upper lip and forehead due to bacteria infection and hormonal changes. After applying Aczone for about 3 weeks I could find difference in my face and it was amazing my face was clear. So, I would recommend this to everyone and best thing about Aczone is it will not make your skin too dry as other creams."


"I took this medication due to a urinary tract infection.  After 3 days I had extreme nausea. I pretty much had the nausea all day long, not just when I took the pills. I called my Doctors office to ask if I should continue and they recommended yes.  My prescription was for 7 days. I could almost justify skipping it the final two days because of the nausea, however I pushed through and took it until day 7.  I was able to work with the nausea and could also eat. If I kept busy working or talking I could ignore most of it. No other side effects and my urinary tract infection seemed to clear up within 1 day."


"I've had this for about 8 months and it's been horrible. I've bled the whole time. Headaches. Weight gain. Moody. My face has broken out and nothing seems to help it. Cysts and it's sometimes 'new' blood but also sometimes dark 'old' blood. I want to get it out but boyfriend doesn't want me to...he'll never understand what it's like to be a girl.. Lol"


"I started with Byetta Sept. 2012 and used until March 2013.  A1C went from 7.5 to 6.1 and my morning fasting # went from 160s to 90s.  I lost approx. 60 lbs.  The main complaint was being sick to my stomach.  It wasn't so much of a problem on the 5 but really bad on the 10.  I had planned to just tough it out because the results were so good, but I mentioned it to my endocrinologist and she switched me to the once-a-week Bydureon. (Same drug but a slow release) Totally cleared up the side effects."


"I've been on bupropion SR 100 MG once per day for about 6 months now.

I lost 30 lbs, but at what cost? The thought of food makes me feel ill. I'll be hungry, but when I see food, my body gets tense and I feel like I might vomit.

The first few weeks, I felt slightly uplifted. I was more inclined to go for walks and socialize with friends and family again. I hit a plateau around week 5 and felt awful. I felt tired but unable to sleep, and I spent hours in bed every day. By week 8, I was seriously considering ending my life because I couldn't stand how I felt.

Constant anxiety and tension, tinnitus, nausea, lethargy.

I tapered down to one pill every other day, with the hope of quitting. Withdrawal was too much, so still taking it for now"


"My 6 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD last year. I saw signs during the preschool years as he was kicked out of three schools. This has been a trying year as we started him on Concerta, Focalin 2.5, & Focalin ER, Intuniv:(Although the stimulants were great and we saw the benefits, it was difficult for me to see the negative side effects (tics and meltdown).  I had mentioned to my doctor a month ago about Clonidine to reduce side of effects of stimulants. She declined as she was uncomfortable with providing adult medication to children. However, she contacted me about Kapvay which has been wonderful. Day 6 and a bit sleepy unlike Intuniv (sedated). I will keep you up to date."


"Prescribed mirtazapine 30 mg for insomnia. First night I fell asleep in 20 minutes. "Slept" all night, not a "good nights sleep." Had strange dreams. Woke up but couldn't open eyes. No energy, hard to get out of bed, slurred speech, couldn't walk straight. Didn't leave couch all day. At 2 am (2nd night) took 15mg, asleep in 20 minutes. Dog woke me up at 8:30 am, could barely get up, couldn't walk straight, dropped & broke dish(never do that), stumbled back to bed, had a very tiring dream. Woke up at 12:30 pm, can't get up, can't open eyes. Its 4:34 pm and I'm still on couch. Feel like a zombie, no energy, feeling mood swings and more depressed. No way I could drive car. Will try 7.5 mg tonight. My last attempt with this medicine."


"It worked like magic on my urinary tract infection. It is great and I didn't have any side effects."


"Moderately effective, but didn't do enough to tolerate the "brain lag" and fatigue, among other side effects, it caused. Would have been higher if coming off of it wasn't utter torture."


"I have been having incredible TMJ pain and back pain in ages soo it seems(10 years)  I have been on countless pain medications for my back pain and more recently TMJ pain after undergoing athroscopy surgery.  The pain in my TMJ has been horrendous and then some and been recently been prescribed Lodine and its almost been so good to believe.  Its a medication that can work very good and definetly worth a try and see if it works for you.. :)"


"The medicine works wonders in curing bacterial vaginitis. However, the taste is not so pleasant. I gagged quite a bit while taking it and still had an after taste....eeewww, but it was all worth it because the bacterial vaginitis went away in no time!"


"It works quite well, I used to have numerous whiteheads constantly covering my chin but this works well. Occasionally I will have a few pimples but normally its during sports and when I'm not playing sports I'm clear. The biggest drawback is it is very hard to apply. It leaves a white flakey coating all over your face that is hard to remove with out removing the product. I normally get rid of it with moisturizer but it requires two applications that are hard to rub in."


"I was addicted to drugs for about 10 years. I finally hit rock bottom and really needed help and fast. So the local Methadone clinic had me come in. I have now been on Methadone for about 3 years now. Methadone has helped me get my life back and get my confidence back as well. If I hadn't found methadone then I probably would have been dead or just miserable and wishing I were dead. But you also have to take into account that you are trading one drug for another. Methadone does help, but it is very addictive too. Most (not all) of the people that go to the clinic I go to abuse methadone and benzo's. Methadone is hard to get off of harder then heroin. Take this in account."


"About a month ago me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex. We are only 19 and not ready to be parents so I did some research and found plan b as an option. Still I was scared because it was only our first time... I bought it that same day about 5 hours later I took it. I really thought it wasn't going to work, and about a week later I started feeling like crap. I started spotting, I felt bloated along with being gassy, breast tenderness, cramps, headaches and nausea. I was freaking out when I saw all of those were signs of pregnancy. I was sooo stressed but then my period came. So DO NOT STRESS or look up anything to freak you out! It's not worth all of it.. let God do his job and you'll be fine.."


"This is an incredible drug - I'm 25 and living with MS. Subsequently I have terrible spasms in back that are non-stop. I've been on this drug for over three years and have absolutely no complaints. I've tried 12 other pain meds before this - all of them making me very high, nauseated or sleepy.

Then comes along Dilaudid - my doctor decided to try me on it because I was having such a hard time with all of the other drugs. From the moment I took the first dose I have been pain free - without any side effects what-so-ever.

Because I have been on it for so long I have become tolerant to it so I have to begin the search for a new drug. Anyone looking for a pain med - this is the route to go."


"Asthma since 26, year round allergies, Advair  and montelukast for years.  Feel i'm alive in my 70s because of some smart, caring Doctors.

Biggest problems--no generic and super expensive now that prices have been raised.  Donut hole every Year!  Used to be  more reasonable.

Not advised to change since Advair and monte work.  But can't afford to use 2 times a day as  doctor recommends.  I think  it is Mylan also that raised prices out of seniors reach.  Please help bring price down again.  Thanks.     Insurance covers part reasonably than too high in donut hole."


"I have been taking for a month. I love this product. First couple of days, I did feel bad. I started with 2 pills a day, but had to drop back to one and side effects went away. It has officially been 28 days and I am down 13 pounds. I used the savings card I got from my doctor and got my 1st month supply for $75.00. Also just found out if I do mail-ordered scripts, I can save even more. My insurance will cover a lot of the cost. I love it and once again am excited about getting on a scale."


"I'm on 1750 mg of Depakote which was fine for the longest time but when the doctors add other medicines unpleasant side effects and sometimes more seizures occurred. The only side effects I've experienced were weight gain and thinning hair but I can help control and minimize the effects on those. It's the effects I can't control that worry me; just like it confuses me why most of my seizures coincide with my menstruation."


"i just started my 3rd week on this pill (its my first time going on bc) and i cant say i love the pill, but i also dont hate it. the first 3 days i had really bad acid reflux, indigestion and stomach pains, it went away so i think my body was just trying to cope with the newly added hormones. my boobs have grown slightly, but not much. im definitely more emotional now, but not overly emotional like most people are saying they experienced. the only real negative side effect ive experienced is acne. the day after i started the pill i woke up with small red bumps ALL over my face. my entire forehead, chin and jaw area is so red and bumpy. im gonna give this pill another month or two before i decide if i need to change brands."


"Some joint pain at the beginning and constipation at first, but no problems afterwards"


"Just finished 14 days at  875 MG twice a day.  I was asymptomatic to begin with, but when I saw my ENT for follow up after sinus surgery in September, he found some yellow mucus in my sinus.  It had not been bothering me, though.  After the first week on this drug with no side effects except mild stomach discomfort for two days, I then became very stuffy, very mucusy, and have been blowing my nose all day long every day.  This has been going on for 9 days now.  Just took my last pill this morning.  The antibiotic essentially gave me a sinus infection.  I'll see the doc again in a week, but I'll never take antibiotics again.  I'll start using andrographis again on a regular basis.  It's a Chinese herbal antibiotic."


"Been on this med for 3 yrs  & generally have had a good experience. I've been on multiple antidepressants over the years, but found they increased my irritability. My Favorite was Zoloft, but gained 40 pounds in 2 yrs. A Dr. put me on lamictal & kept increasing the dose. Total nightmare. Extreme depression, anxiety increased & felt mania for the first time ever.  My current Dr. switched me to Trileptal. Complete blessing to sleep again. The toss up? Going from feeling like I was on a pot of coffee to a bottle of wine. Had slurred speech & foggy head. My job requires me to speak in front of groups & taking in the AM was bad. Solution? Small dose of Lamictal (25 mg) in the AM (gets me up) & Trileptal (300 mg) at night for sleep. Been working!"


"I have been on the patch now for 10 years, about started @ 100mcg x 72HRS and am @ 200mcg x 48HRS due to chronic pain from a 90 foot fall from a radio tower. I have been placed on every medicine literally for pain management and this medicine gave me a life back."


"I started taking Contrave on 5/11.  My starting weight was 222.6.  Today, 5/31, my weight was 212.6.  10 pounds in 20 days is amazing!  I do not crave food! I have even forgotten to eat lunch.  I am able to watch what I eat, because I am just not very hungry.  I have maybe one occasional glass of wine, but I could forego it altogether.  I felt nauseous and strange the first couple of days, but that went away.  If you can get through the first few days, the side effects might subside like they did for me.  I do have trouble sleeping if I take my second pill too late. However, now I feel more alert and have more energy! I do still have some dry mouth and constipation, but it is worth it for the weight loss and the boost of energy!"


"I am very pleased. A good erection a while."


"Relpax 40 mg is my go-to medication when I have a bad migraine.  I have tried almost all triptans, and this works best for me.  If taken ASAP, it typically zaps my migraine within 60-90 mins.

Relpax makes me feel spacey, “floaty” and tired so I usually take it and then lay down for a nap.  The side effects disappear within an hour or two.  This seems to be stronger than Imitrex (sumatriptan) or Maxalt (rizatriptan).  Not sure if it is actually stronger or just works better for me.  It is quite expensive, even with insurance."


"Came down with the flu on Sunday had fever, back ache, sore throat, etc went to the doctor but they didn't check for the flu said it was sinus infection. By Tuesday I was still feeling ill so went back to doctor and had positive flu test. Started tamiflu that day. Tamiflu caused me to be extremely nausea on Wednesday I was throwing up from Tamiflu. I did not throw up or have diarrhea in the 3 days I had the flu. Not sure if I want to keep taking it or not but it's Thursday and although no fever or back ache still have flu headache and exhaustion."


"I am in my seventies and have taken zolpidem for about 3 years. I split 10 mg pills into thirds. I take one at sleep time, another when I wake up, take another if it is still early in morning when I wake up again. Sometimes I take 4 in a night. So I take from 2 to 4 each night, which works well. Using the split pills gives me control on dosage, versus CR. I am really glad to have it."


"I have been on Pristiq for almost 6 months, 50mg. I was very hesitant at first but was desperate for something to help with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. It has worked wonders and my family agrees. The first week was hard but after that only minor side effects, most of which have disappeared completely. I am a different person now and so very grateful."


"I have being on Byetta 5mcg&Lantus 3mths I've had constant nausea which varies in severity. I haven't had a reduction of bgl they are still quiet high; I am not at all sure whether both meds have really worked for me over the past 3mths&my diabetic educator thinks the same&my endocrinologist will most likely change my meds altogether next review. In one week i'm going on 10mcg...I hope that it works but not holding my breath - I've never had the brilliant results that others on here have had - the nausea has never gone away but the earlier dizziness did...although it hasn't worked for me I believe that it's worth trying, I did have hopes that worked for me, there are other meds & I will get my bgl's in a normal range&lower my HbA1c"


"In my 30's, energy levels dropped and  found life more challenging.  I would wonder how I could get through the day.   I took adderall  but could feel that it wasn't right.  I guess it felt too much of a party drug.  After a few doses, I actually just felt, I suppose buzzed, not able to complete tasks.  Perhaps the dose wasn't high enough?  I went to my doctor with a list of meds. and notes.  He picked up on straterra, which wasn't top.  The instructions said it may take a month to work! It was instant!  I am less irritable, have more mental energy.  My brain must have been tired and my thoughts are more positive than negative.  I have all the side effects, inconsistently.  They are far outweighed by ++.  Also try matcha green tea!!"


"Better than anything I have tried for heat-induced hives."


"Very helpful to me at work. I can get much more done in 1day and keep on track. Only sometimes I might get headaches though."


"Zoloft saved my life after having post natal Anxiety after the birth of each of my children. I had severe anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia which led to depression. I was fearful about being alone.I was hospitalised for 8-12 weeks each time. Anxiety and depression is heightened when you first start this medication so Don't give up on it Give it a chance to work It took at least 8-10 weeks to start feeling like my self again then 12 weeks for symptoms to disappear. Don't be afraid to take a sedative at the start to ease the bumpy side effects. Stick it out. It will be worth it in the long run. I frantically googled reviews on here just like you so wanted to write my story to encourage another mum experiencing similar symptom"


"I'm dying here ! I couldn't sleep after using product . Itching kept me up all night. The next day I am irritated, there's redness, burning , itching . And I'm crying right now . I can't walk , I tired ice . Also I have the AZO pills along with cream . About to try some yogurt . Wish I would've went to the doctor to get the pill ."


"Okay i have tried the gel, the only side effect is loss of appetite and a bad yeast infection. Looks like i growing biscuits, but the diflucan took it all away.... !!## It work!!!"


"After having my second child, I developed a few ovarian cysts and endometriosis.  My doctor told me I needed birth control.  Out of all the options with birth control, the Mirena seemed to be the best option for me.  I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday, my periods are light to non-existent, and I'm still baby-free and cyst-free!  This is my 5th year using Mirena.  I just recently had it replaced (9 days ago).  I'm experiencing a few cramps on my left side, and I was spotting this morning, but that's all normal.  The removal of the last Mirena was a bit uncomfortable, but that's the only negative thing I have to say about it."


"I am 25 years old, and I have had the Mirena implant for 2 years. I had it put in a month after I gave birth. It is a very effective birth control, but I have noticed a change in my sex drive. Or non existent sex drive. My skin also feels more oily than it was before. Overall, I think it is doing the job, but it could be better."


"I have endometriosis and fibroids and had a terrible time last year when I visited my sister in Colorado. I was having horrific cramps that radiated up my back, in my butt and down my legs. I ended up in the ER there and was told I may have had a cyst burst. I was told that higher elevations will make cramps alot worse if you are not used to the elevation. When we drove up in the mountains the cramps got significantly worse. They gave me some strong pain medication but it really only made me groggy and the pain was still there. When I came back home and visited my dr. she put me on these. So far, it has been over a year and I have had no periods, no cramps and no pain! It's like a miracle! Unfortunately I have gained weight though."


"My neurologist was right. The trick is starting dose low and building up a week at a time, letting your body get used to it. I'm up to 75mg and holding."


"I been on sesonique for 3 month. I had been spotting every day since I started using it and I had a full blown period 2 weeks after starting using it. I love the fact I only get your period every 3 month but  the spotting is not much better.  I notice that I am get really angry sometimes for no reason and I feel sad and depressed. It also made me gain 15 lbs which its making me a bit stress out. I talk to my Dr. And she said since I'm just started this med my body had to get use to it. I'm think I'm going to wait 3 more months to c how my body adjusts to it. Also I take my pill at the same time everyday on the dot. so my spotting it's not cause by missing doses or taking it at different times"


"I've had the nexplanon inserted in October and I haven't really had any servere side effects... I gained a little bit of weight & I get emotional from time to time, but other than that its been great besides the prolonged bleeding. I've been on my period for about 3 weeks now... it started off heavy and now its simmering down. Hopefully it'll stop soon. If not I'm getting it removed."


"This medication is fantastic. I have a lot more motivation and true happiness ( without the overstimulation that you sometimes get on Wellbutrin).  I  started on five then went to 10mg.   After a week at 10 mg I felt like a new person, but with  severe  nausea.  "


"I have only been taking this medicine for two weeks and I love it. My sugars went down right away. from 224-295 to 146-185. I am sure that it will keep going down, My last A1c was 10.6, I can not wait to see the next one. I have some nausea on the day after and a little on day two, but nothing that is horrible. I am still able to eat and I have never thrown up. As for the nodules I rub the area really well after the shot and I do not have any. I use the top of my leg right about my knee and have not had any problems with that either. I love this medicine."


"I am a 26 yo, no babies or pregnancies. I am very sensitive to hormones. The pill made me almost suicidal so my doc suggested the ring. The first month went ok. The second month I developed a horrible yeast infection a few days after insertion. I took Diflucan and the symptoms seems to reside. But the next month the same thing! A few days after insertion a horrible yeast infection! I took Diflucan and it did not clear up. My doc recommended that Monistat works better so I tried that too. I even had my partner get tested to make sure he wasn't carrying it. The Monistat did not clear it either. I had terrible pain and burning and finally just took Nuvaring out early. The symptoms went away almost immediately."


"My experience with this pill is good and bad, after reading everyones comments I realize that I am more moody and tired. I also wanna cry over the smallest things. I too have lost 15 lbs on this pill (weight I could not afford to lose by the way) and my appetite has severely dropped. But my periods are on the exact day everyone month, and my acne is gone except for the week of my period. "


"I am stage 4, took metronome had great results then ibrance,just the 1st month I was on it 3 tumors popped up, got off it for 3 months then went back, well it made the tumor bigger,..side effects, back aches while walking, sore throat, hair loss, weakness in arms, feeling tired all the time, my cancer psa was 14, in one month on ibrance it went to 35,..I see oncologist on the 9th, I'm sure my psa will be higher, so I'm taking my self off of it..."


"I tried almost every topical an acne sufferer can get from drug stores, from natural to other kinds of drugs for acne, but none ever worked.  My acne is moderate to severe type of acne. I am not saying that this medicine will work for you same way it does for me, but you should consider it when you talk to your Doctor. I've been taking this medicine for over a year now and I can't be any more clearer. I used to get tiny whiteheads all over my face, like when I try to pinch my skin, you can squeeze them out like small pieces of oil that became oxidized and yellow. Before I got this medicine, almost every day of my life I'd have to deal with new bumps just after one healed. My face is scarred, but this is the best one I have tried ever."


"First off, would like to say that I have and always have had severe ADHD and have been on Adderal XR 30mg since it first came out 15 yrs ago at 30mg.   Always had my psych trying to get me to try Vyvanse and turned it down until last week when I realized over the last 2 years my Adderall seemed not to be working and would wear off by 1pm every day and still scattered.

Was highly apprehensive at first and started out at 60mg on Vyvanse to begin and likely will be at 70 next Dr visit.

Vyvanse has been a true god send for my condition and a miracle drug 4 me.  Can think clearly for first time in years and accomplish goals at work and home and much longer lasting- I highly recommend - downside is it takes about 2 hours to fully start working."


"My doctor suggested for me Cialis 5 mg daily to treat Prostate enlargement however from day 1 to day 5 I was suffering from back pain with chest burning like heart attack. so my doctor stopped it immediately. Now I am using it .25 mg half day before sex. it is very good for erection and also to relieve prostate bad feeling during ejaculation"


"Excellent! It cleared up my skin immediately and now I don't even think about it any more which is such a huge relief. My dermatologist gave it to me for 2 months, so my time is almost up, and I'm not sure if I need to get more or if I'll be clear now. It's so nice to have great skin again!!"


"This medication worked well to relieve my pain. However, the negative effects were bad. I could not think, I stumbled, had NO energy and all I wanted to do was sleep. I stopped taking it. I have neuropathic pain in both my feet and hands (at times worse than others). However, I need to be able to find my car keys and arrive at my destination without getting lost. I have to work and while taking this medication I am unable to function."


"The first month I had it in I was supposed to start my period but I didn't start it til two weeks later it lasted about a week then spotting for a few days after that; since then I have not had a period. I like that I don't have to worry about a period at all. I am 5'1 and started weight 130 when I started right now I weigh 133, I did go up to 148 but that was due to a medical issue completely apart, after being treated I am going back to my usual weight. I did actually lose a bit a weight the first few months while on it. I will say the annoying part is minor fatty parts I cannot seem to get rid of, that being my arms and upper back/hormonal weight? I have since gone Vegan and exercise a bit more too."


"I switched from microgestin fe 20, which was good, but my body got used to it and I started getting abnormal periods.

Switched to this, did not gain weight, so far it's been a smooth transition. The only thing that I do not like is that I get a lot of nausea while I'm on my period. I hope with time it'll go away. Other than that it's a good form of bc."


"Have been taking 10mg for 4 & half weeks. Third week in felt fine with less pain. Now severe  stomach cramps & back pain has returned. Unsure if I should continue with them."


"Prozac has changed my life.  I had postpartum depression after having a baby & went for months thinking I could fix everything on my own but nothing alleviated the unrealistic hopelessness.  My midwife said that one antidepressant doesn't work for everyone, it is like putting your hand in a mixed candy jar and pulling one out, the effects are that unpredictable.  Prozac has been amazing for me.  It has taken the OCD, hopelessness edge off so now I feel like I have a choice about how I feel. Side effects included feeling nauseous and having diarrhea on the first day, my husband says I sometimes tremor at night, it doesn't work as well when I am on my period, and I often feel really low after having sex.  Overall, Prozac has saved my sanity."


"I was not a fan of this pill. It was supposed to be three months noncyclic and I still had a period every month, longer than normal. And I would bleed in between.

It also made me gain 13 pounds in 6 weeks - while I was counting calories and working out. It was impossible to lost weight on it.

It made me super emotional. I was constantly weepy and depressed many days.

I don't want to take this one ever again."


"I had developed severe anxiety and depression in my late teens/ early 20's and like many before me I have tried wellbutrin, paxil, lexapro etc. This is the only medicine that has shown significant improvement on both my depression and anxiety. I can be myself again. Don't be ashamed to talk to your doctor or family member. Get help as soon as possible."


"It is a miracle drug and it works fantastically."


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


"Does not work well for me."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"This stuff is awful! I haven't eaten any solid food today, so I guess taking this on an empty stomach triggered my GERD(acid reflux disease) the fishy after taste was also horrible!  I vomiting just as much as I went to the loo! Ugggg! There has to be a better way to cleanse the colon people....cause this is pure torture!!!!"


"I was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma when I was 36. Kidney Cancer.  Luckily it was found by accident and very early. Stage 1.  It was the best possible diagnosis you can get when you are told you have cancer.  My Grandmother (78) died of cancer.  My mom (57) died of cancer, My dad (68) had skin cancer which was removed and now my sister-in-law (47) was diagnosed with stage IV Ovarian cancer and has been doing chemo and will have surgery tomorrow (Feb 12, 2014).  To say I have anxiety is a huge understatement.  I am in remission. It's been 6 years.  There isn't a moment that goes by where I don't think about cancer. It came to a point where I couldn't get out of bed. Xanax has changed my life. I can move on and live."


"I was recommended allergy tablets by my doctor for a skin rash, after the 2nd night I cannot sleep! I read the leaflet again and one side effect is insomnia, I have never suffered from this before. I will not be taking these again!"


"I have been on Lexapro for about two weeks now and I can definitely tell the difference. I have depression and anxiety and this medicine has helped me manage both. I had a horrible temper and I was always verbally attacking my husband because I had conditioned myself to be all the defensive so that insults wouldn't bother me. I have been able to tell the difference that I am not angry with my husband all of the time. He doesn't like the fact that I am on medication but he acknowledges that the change in me has been extremely helpful in making our relationship better."


"I take several medications for treatment of Auto-Immune disease. I had hiatle hernia surgery so it is important I do not vomit unless absolutely necessary. Zofran works quickly to eliminate nausea and vomiting and also relaxes me."


"I've been on this medication for 6 months! After spending years with chronic anxiety and severe depression leading to several hospital admissions and long periods of time of not wanting to go out or do anything. Over my near on 20 years of suffering and it really has impacted on my life and those I love. After years of being a long term sufferer I know there are triggers but I've never been able to control the symptoms that over took me even though I've tried to fight it and fight hard. I'm pleased to say that pregablin has really helped me, not with depression but definitely with anxiety! I had a bad experience which left me unable to breathe stand for 3 days until I went to hospital I was prescribed these meds and I was functioning again!"


"I just started taking Apri about two months ago. I love it. My periods used to be unpredictable and heavy. Now they come at the same time every month, and are MUCH lighter. I actually don't mind getting my period anymore."


"I have used Lidocaine patches for years they work really well on my back pain. That is until my pharmacist changed brands and I received Mylan brand of lidocaine patch 5%. This brand is a waste of money. They do not stay on at all. When you finally peel it off (which is very difficult) the backing and press it to your skin immediately the patch begins peeling up. If you to get the patch on you have to take first aid tape and place it on the patch or otherwise it falls off. This company needs to know that their product is all most useless."


"Starting on day one, I was using the bathroom at least six times a day, with the urge to go hitting me suddenly and urgently, with the end product (pardon me) being a thin gruel. I had no appetite, which made it harder to drink enough water to keep up with my fluid loss. By day three I was nauseated and so dehydrated that my blood pressure dropped, leaving me weak and dizzy. That's when the vomiting started. The worst it got: one sip of water had me throwing up until nothing came out and then dry-heaving to the brink of exhaustion. I was almost completely bedridden for two days, and only just recovered today, having survived on sips of Gatorade. I'm amazed the FDA approved Trulicity. It felt more like rat poison than a promising new drug."


"Works very well for treating the cellulitis I got from an insect bite. But don't drink alcohol while you are on this medication. I had half a beer and started feeling really nauseous, had a migraine and my stomach hurt."


"My boyfriend and I had protected sex just yesterday (Friday, January 29, 2016). He used a condom--as usual. But, this time, unfortunately, the condom came off--either while he was still penetrated or after he pulled out. This scared us both so much, because there's a very high chance that semen could had entered my vaginal tract and went further into my reproductive system. He didn't want to take the risk, so he decided for us to immediately go to out and buy Plan B One Step. I took the pill, with not water, but Canada Dry ginger ale, about one hour after we had sex. I waited two hours to expect symptoms, and still haven't experienced any, except for fatigue. It's been about 12 hours now today. I'm wondering if I'm going to have symptoms"


"This medication is overpriced rubbish. Maybe it works well for those who absolutely cannot control their eating, but I feel that I over paid for this drug for almost three years before talking to my doctor about the expense, and then having them adjust me back to metformin and glypizide, separately. My costs went from over $400 a month to $8 a month, and zero change in my levels. This drug is a  scam by the manufacture in my opinion, and I'd like to rip somebody's head off at Merck. Do not fall for this; it's literally just a scam on the part of the greedy corporate drug companies"


"Iv read most the comments and they most complaining about bleeding after getting the mirena however when I go mine in 3 years ago my doc said I WILL bleed for atleast a month or 2 because my body had to get use to a foreign object and it would cramp which I got as he said. After 2 months my bleeding stopped completely and I only spotted once a month if that. Only now after 3 years am I having horrible moods and bleeding. My doc also warned me that after about 18 months my period should start normal again... even though its been more than 18 months im overall happy as I havnt fallen pregnant again so im pretty happy! Mirena isn't for everyone but my body seemed to accept it."


"When it works, it works well with no next day grogginess.  I am a long time user, beginning in 2001.  I have pretty much stopped, after using it every night for 9 years.  I have tried Lunesta and I sleep two hours even with double dose.  Rozerem had no effect.  I may be trying Seroquel next.  I had night-time events with no memory of them. I typically had one event every few months, but some were potentially deadly.  Yes, I too cooked all the time with no memory of it.  I would wake up and crack eggs in the sink and food on the table.  I also (VERY IMPORTANT), would go on line, send e mail that was highly damaging and/or embarrassing and have no memory of doing it until I got responses. ALSO NIGHT DRIVING WITH NO MEMORY of the event."


"I been on this ADHD medication, but never was on it for more then 3 months. I am always switched due to the weight lose. When I first took it I was about 135lbs, after 2 months I was 98lbs. I lost over 35 pounds. This was in 2010. I stopped taking it because it wasn't helping me. Within those months my doctor kept putting me on different medicines, none worked. I started school with no medicines, I was on the high honor all, my mom wanted me to take it because I couldn't focus I was so HYPER. So my doctor put me on Concerta again. I have been on and off, but I have been consistent for 1-2 weeks. I have noticed my face is very itchy and blotchy and I want to hide and cry. Well I'm getting good grades but lost 10lbs in a week. "


"I did not notice a change while taking this med. I still took it for 2 years even though it was not effective. The reason I continued this med was because everything me and my Dr tried to get me off the med, it did not work. Finally after 2 years. I was able to stop taking it by starting prozac the next day of my last dose of cymbalta. I took the prozac for 10 days with no side effects and then I stopped the prozac. I am finally free of that prison."


"Easy to use but gave me a horrendous yeast infection.   Would rather have taken flagyl"


"Ok so.. I didn't know what was going on... this medicine has totally changed... my side effects are nausea, lower back pain every Time I stand, mouth taste blah and tired.oh gas and diarrhea .. so glad tomorrow is my last day... the best advice I can give is to eat heavy..."


"I took the pill 12 hours later at night. I was so scared I was going to be pregnant because I could have swore that I ovulated the day before. I felt that mini cramp. I have a period calendar, but my periods have been irregular so I wasn't sure when I actually ovulated. The next day, I was a little dizzy. I didn't want to move around as much because I was scared I would throw up. This lasted for 2 days. In the end, I didn't get pregnant! My cycles are irregular and my last cycle length was 36 days. This one was 29. "


"I've been using this for about 7-8 months now. Can actually wear my contacts again for the entire day and rarely use any OTC drops like systane. Has really changed my life. I did notice the stinging over time gradually increased but my friend that's eye surgeon suggested to put them in fridge. I leave the box in fridge now and apply cold and it takes all the sting away. Actually feels very soothing."


"I've only been taking Ampyra for 2 months, but all I have noticed is heavier legs and falling much more.  I use my walker more than my cane."


"I'm allergic to sulfa and penicillin so my doc prescribed Macrobid. The first time I took this medicine, I felt fine besides some nasty nausea. I didn't take the last 3 pills because of it but my UTI went away almost immediately. This time, I feel horrible. I felt good after the first 2-3 doses but now after I take it (3rd day) I am weak, I feel like it's hard to breathe, and my stomach burns/hurts so bad I can't stand it. It also makes me very tired and out of it/woozy. The burning during urination has went away but I feel worse than what I did with the UTI. I hate to stop it early but I fear I may end up in the hospital if I don't. It's not a bad med, just hit or miss side effects. I say try it out though. It's worth that much at least."


"I have been on microgestin 1/20 for about 4 months now and it has improved my acne immensely! Before this pill I tried everything to get rid of my acne and spent so much money on different kinds of acne face wash and stuff like that. When I finally decided to take this pill, I was scared because I read all these reviews and none of them were very positive, but for some reason for my skin it has highly improved my acne and for the past 2 weeks I have not gotten a pimple on my face and it is also slowly healing my scars too. The first 2-3 months it is hard to see results and takes a little bit of time to really start getting into your system. Along with clearing up my acne, it has also taken away my very bad cramps from my period."


"I have had this birth control in since March of 2007. I have had slight bleeding. But I also got my second one put in March 2010. I love Implanon. I know its dependable and effective. I haven't got pregnant in the 4 years I had it in. I couldn't be happier with any birth control. I have tried the Depo and pill and all made me bleed ridiculously. Like I say don't always believe all the bad reviews because it all depends on your body. I also got this put in when it first came back on the market and was nervous about it but now I wouldn't choose any other birth control."


"This Med makes my arthritis worse.

My doc is fired, the meds in the trash.

Good luck."


"I had unprotected sex in June 2017 the next day I took plan b. Had what I thought was my period a week later but then got told it was probably only from the pill. I was freaking out waiting for my period. I took four pregnancy tests about 2 months later, all came out negative. I still had not gotten my period though so I was convinced the tests were wrong. I was dwelling on the situation so much I convinced myself I was showing when it really was just bloating. Four months later after taking plan b I finally got my period! This pill really does work and really messes up your cycle. Just give it time and try not to stress because stress really does delay it more. Take pregnancy tests if you're really concerned and trust them!!"


"Just got my implanon/nexplanon replaced again, love it, going on year 7 with it continously! Had it for a full 6yrs now, got it when I was 16 and have had it in since. I have had no noticeable side effects like weight gain and acne. The only side effect I experienced is that my period stopped other than some light spotting once or twice in 6yrs. I would highly recommend it because there's nothing easier and less painful it seems than the implant,from my end theres nothing to lose."


"I had Skyla inserted a little over a year ago. The insertion itself wasn't too painful, but I did have bad cramps for the rest of the day after insertion. However, I no longer get cramps with each period. My periods are WAY lighter than they were pre-IUD. The one thing I've noticed that I don't like is that I'll think my period is over, but a couple days later it'll sneak attack and come back out of nowhere (though so light that I only need a thin pantyliner). I've gained about 8lbs since I had Skyla put in, but also have a job change where I went from walking all day to a desk job so I don't know if there is a direct correlation, just thought I'd mention."


"I was on it for a little over a year and had no problem with effectiveness.  I did gain 2 cup sizes though.  But once I got off it I gained weight.  Nothing I did stopped the weight gain.  I am now going back on it hoping to stop the weight gain."


"Usually allows a half hour to an hours worth of sleep......that is the 30mg."


"I've had a generally positive experience with Trintellix. The only negative side effect that I've noticed is some nausea. It was enough to make me sick on a couple occasions, but I continued to psh through because of how badly the depression was making me feel. I've now been on the medication for over 4 weeks and I'm feeling more positive, less depressed, and even the nausea is easing! This medication seems to have less side effects than other medications that I've tried, such as Prozac and Cipralex (Lexapro).

Tip: If you experience the nausea, try eating a little bit of carbs to help settle your stomach."


"My mother was on this medication for 2 weeks for early stages of Alzheimer's. The first week family thought we could see noticeable improvement. By the end of the 2nd week she was confused and defecating in her hand which she had never done before. The doctor discontinued and after a few days she was back to where she was before starting the med. My advice is watch your loved one closely for side effects."


"My 11 year old daughter started taking this a week ago and for the first time in her life she is breathing through her nose. As  a result she's not waking up exhausted.  Hallelulia!"


"Great medication ...miracle."


"Today is day one of the rest of my life.  That is what I keep telling myself.  I'm a little nauseated and my joints kind of hurt a little.  I'm a lot more tired than I thought I would be but from what I have read that will pass.  I am not sure when I should be taking the medication though.  I will keep everyone posted on my progress and hopefully in a week or so I will be singing the praises of this medication."


"I have peripheral nerve damage that caused drop foot and horrible neuropathy. For years I have suffered tingling and burning pain on my left ankle and foot, and the back of my thigh felt badly sunburned. I have seen many doctors including a pain management doctor who prescribed narcotic pain medication. None of these meds took away the burning nerve pain in my foot and the side effects interfered with my ability to concentrate at work. My family doctor prescribed Lyrica and it helped a lot, but I still had constant pain. She prescribed Voltaren gel for me to try and the results are nothing short of a miracle. After only two doses my foot felt better than it ever has since my injury in 1997. The awful constant burning sensation is gone!"


"I have been using Microgestin the past three months after taking Lo Loestrin Fe for about a year. I've seen not one difference between the two. I'm pre-menopasual (51) and it works great for me. No more heavy periods!"


"Just finished taking this, 300mg, three times a day for seven days.  Infection cleared up and I did not experience any side effects whatsoever.  I drank plenty of water while taking it."


"I'm an social drinker and after 3 months of taking Risperdal, I can't get a buzz or even drunk. Viagra doesn't work either. It's like it took the pleasure out of my system but now my libido is coming back after a couple of months. I had the doctor change my medicines. Hopefully the new ones does a better job with my pleasure. On month 2 I was zombie like but now I'm almost back to normal. "


"ok so I bought this because it looked most effective in CVS and used it as soon as I got home. at first I felt a intense itch so checked online for reviews which scared the shit out of me. I was so upset I think I created the symptoms people were sharing on here in my head. It's my first YI and my first time using this and ITS NOT THAT BAD the itching sensation is a little uncomfortable but that should be expected It's says clearly on box mild inching and burning and that's what it is. I do not suggest taking befor bed I took it at 4:00 pm and its 9:39 and I feel fine for bed. xoxo"


"Seems to be helping. Still cough a lot."


"I normally take xanax to get off to sleep, but here lately I have been taking it in the day time as well, because I get panicky through the day now as well. Wish this anxiety would just go away and stay away. Have an appointment with a psychologist but I really don't think it is psychological."


"I've been on bydureon for 15 months.  Recently, I started experiencing nausea and vomiting after my weekly injections so I am going to be switching to trulicity.  I really did well on bydureon in the past.  I lost 30 to 35 lbs total and my A1Cs went down to 6-7.  I've had tons of knots but they usually go away in a couple months. I'm hoping there will be less bleeding with the trulicity since it has a smaller needle and none of the mixing hassle.  The only reason I don't give bydureon a 10 rating is because of the mixing, knots and bleeding."


"I've been using gianvi for over a month now and I haven't experienced any mood swings!!! I don't feel depressed, suicidal or anything. I have experienced bloating and tender breasts. I have recently broke out on face a bit but I'm hoping my body will soon adjust because I chose it to help with acne. I'll continue to use it and hope for the best. So far I don't think I've gained any weight which is a bummer bc I'm underweight and really was looking forward to it. But we'll see!"


"I've had urinary tract infections since I was little. My mom always bought these numbing pills and they worked like a charm! I'm having one at the moment and my mom bought Uricalm. Works within minutes for me and totally takes away the pain. These things work for hours and hours. And the higher the dosage the better it works. Total life saver if your having any bladder problems."


"I've been taking this medicine since December 2009, and I haven't had a seizure while taking it. I've doubled my dose according to my doctor's instructions since then and am now taking 3000 mg/day, the max adult dose. I've noticed an increase in anxiety and severe anxiety symptoms since beginning Keppra, but other than that it's been a great medicine."


"Just finished the first pack.  I have constant mild stomach upset so that I can't eat much and have loose stools. Despite this, I've lost only a little weight - tummy still seems bloated.  I expect this will clear up in a couple of months.

Bonus - cleared up my skin. ? - no period the first month.

Caution:  What worries me is that it seems to have caused pretty serious depression for me.  I tend to be a bit on the sad side if I don't watch it, but this was bad.  I want to try to stick with it, but the depression feels horrible, so if next month is this bad, I don't know if I can continue."


"1200 mg at night has helped my nocturnal seizures greatly from happening."


"I LOVE FLUCONIZOLE!! It ALWAYS works fast & eases my "issues" VERY QUICKLY! - Generally, I take a 150mg tablet, every 3 days. (Sometimes 2 doses, sometimes 3, depending upon severity.) - Other helpful suggestions include: Drinking plenty of water, eating yogurt, (or my favorite) a probiotic drink like Strawberry Kefir. - AVOID: any alcoholic drinks, especially beer for a yeast infection, I've heard beer can possibly be a good thing with bladder infections, but I'm not certain. - Tips to AVOID yeast infections to begin with: beware that consistently wearing pantyhose, tights, or spandex, is a BAD idea, your "bits" need time to "breathe", NEVER USE VASELINE, or OIL on your bits, ever!! Avoid any flavored ANYTHING internally in your "parts.":)"


"I was diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri in February 2015. When I got pregnant with my son I gained over 60lbs. I had him in May 2014 and didn't have any symptoms until October 2014 when my eyesight went out for a second or two and it didn't happen again. I didn't pay it any mind until in January 2015 it started getting worse. My vision would go in and out for about 2-5 seconds at a time. I finally seen the ophthalmologist who said my optic nerves were swollen & referred me to a neurologist who had me do an MRI, 1 spinal tap (where my pressure was so high at 44, so they relieved some of the spinal fluid down to 20), then they finally decided to put me on Acetazolamide 500mg ER. The only cons were the metallic taste and tingling."


"I was on Gildess for about 11/2 years. I was only on it that long because I thought my body would eventually adjust to it. I was wrong. I had my period every two weeks. I can't take this anymore and therefore I just got the paragard put in two days ago.  I pray this is the birth control that I been looking for. My doctor seemed to think that hormones were not agreeing with my body and since paragard is hormone free I would probably do well with it. I pray he is right."


"I had Implanon inserted in January of 08. I have had such a terrible experience with it. For the last year and half I have had my period for a total of roughly 8 months (that's a combined total not a constant total). I chose Implanon because I was terrible at remembering to take my pills on time. I do have to add though, I am very jealous of those women who are having a wonderful experience with it!"


"I started Eligard in 2006 and it worked well until 2012. I started taking Casodex with the Eligard injections and that worked well until early 2014. I came off the Casodex at that time and continued to take the Eligard with my PSA back up to 7.1 and cancer mets to my T3, T4 spine. I had radiation to my spine and now waiting for financial assistance on new medicine."


"OMG had a little itching and redness so decided to save a trip to the gyno and bought monostat 1 cream filled application. I took it at 9:00 pm.  Within minutes I felt tingling and burning but thought that was part of the process. I fell asleep and awoke a few hours later because I felt like I had something in between my legs, and the pain and burning was so severe Got a mirror and screamed my Vj was the size of a pear! I looked deformed like nothing I ever seen. It was swollen 10 times normal size. I was laying on the floor crying.  I read about how many other women this happened to and one suggested a douche with cold water. Try to get the cream out although so much already absorbed into the vagina. Helped a little. BEWARE. "


"Truly liberating to know that LYRICA helps alleviate my chronic pain. For over 30 years my very misunderstood condition has been mistreated, and I myself much maligned. Using high dose opiates became my way to deal with it as it least they worked to a degree. BUT 3 years ago, LYRICA helped change my life. IF ONLY IT WAS AROUND A LONG TIME AGO. Lyrica works."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I have to be one of the scariest individuals in the world when it comes to medication. Therefore, after reading all of the reviews, I was traumatized and afraid to begin my bowel prep. However, I took the advice of some of the other reviews and made sure that I followed the liquid diet, chilled the Suprep, took small sips and used a lemon as a chaser. The medicine begin to gently work within the hour without any complications. The purpose of the medicine is to clean the bowels so I expected that I would have numerous trips to the restroom. However, that process was not bad as well. The second time at 5:00 am went exactly the same. I am happy to report that I didn't experience any nausea, vomiting or cramping. The rest is history!"


"I have been a long term sufferer of chronic pain from Fibromyalgia, DDD, Scoliosis, Sciatica, Arthritis, Migraines and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since 1992.,. After starting out with the over the counter meds, then moving to prescription Motrin, Day trip, Rendering, and numerous anti depressants, my doctor began prescribing Vicodin 5/500. At first they worked, but after 3months, nothing! So I went back to my doctor and told him. He then proceeded to put me on 7.5/750, again they worked for me no longer after 3 months. To make a long story short, I am now and have been on MS Contin, 60mg x two times a day and 100mg at bedtime. For my break-thru pain I am on Oxycodone 30mg x two. I'm here to say that I have a life once again!"


"I have been on generic Depakote for 12 years.  Prior to it, I took lithium for 28 years.   On Depakote, I lost 30 pounds; and did not have hair loss.  I do get tired in the afternoon and take a nap.  I feel the medication helps me live a good life.  I believe I would be dead without medication that keeps me from being manic."


"I use this medicine before going to bed when I have allergies and it helps me a lot."


"I have been feeling very bad for the last 3 weeks.  I even went to the ER.  I have had high BP, constant headache, shortness of breath, chest pains, rapid heartbeat and buzzing in my ears.  It has not helped my bladder issues. Worst of all, none of the doctors I have seen, figured that out. Even after asking what all my medications are.  When they kept telling me all was well, except for mildly high BP. So, each time I left feeling like I was going crazy or a hypochondriac. Then I started thinking, what drug have I started taking most recently.   I looked it up and surprise......there were all my symptoms. Well, I have stopped taking this drug and will not recommend it to anyone......"


"I received the Liletta IUD on March 1, 2017. For the first two days, I had severe cramping but no bleeding. However, since having it in, I have experienced almost every side effect, except losing my hair. I also think that it has moved out of place because at times, I can feel it and it is painful. Especially, during my periods. I am considering having it removed."


"Being treated for a leg ulcer with this medication. I have 5 pills left out of the 2 wk dose and I am finding it hard to finish. I too am experiencing extreme heartburn on top of the acid reflux I already have, so bad I have knots in my stomach which is making it hard for me to eat. It is very painful when the food goes down. My chest hurt and I was tired a lot after taking this. It did though clear up this infection right away. Going to try and get through the last 5. Reading others posts have been so helpful. I knew nothing about not lying down for 30 mins after taking it and I will get back on yogurt to. Thanks for all the tips"


"If you have chronic pain give this medication a try. It works well."


"I have taken Ambien CR 12.5 mg for about 2 years off and on.  This product works great for my insomnia, but as other users have stated, I have experienced episodes of sleep walking, making random phone calls, texting, cooking and having wild sex with my husband without any memory of it all.  My suggestion is that you take the pill and go straight to bed to lessen the chances of sleep walking; However, you still run the risk of doing strange things anyway. Other than the sleepwalking, Ambien has given me the best sleep 7-8 hours of sleep of my life."


"I gave myself an injection of the medicine in my doctor's exam room under the direction of the drug rep following instruction on administering the drug and diet instruction.  No one checked my blood sugar level nor my medical history.  I assumed the injection was safe because my doctor allowed the rep to give it to me.  The next morning I awoke to a panicked husband because I was thrashing about in the bed and he could not waken me. He had given me a peppermint orally and called 911.  I could see his face but could not speak to respond to him.  My feet and legs were cramping but I could not communicate this to him nor my daughter.  The EMTs gave me glucose and I recovered quickly.  My husband and daughter fearfully watched me for weeks."


"Not for me. Causes inflammation in the body. Not good."


"I have been on Contrave for 6mos. & also weight watchers. I have lost #25.  I had absolutely NO side effects.  Sometimes I wonder if you read too many comments/side effects etc.. it plants the seed. Anyway, I can say that Contrave has worked wonderfully for me, my only fear is what happens when I stop taking it! Yikes, sure hope I don't put that weight back on!!!"


"First time using an anti depressant this long. I have tried others and couldn't stay on them for more than one day because of terrible dizziness and other strange side effects. I'm only on 5 mg because I have a low tolerance for any type of medication. I did experience some nausea     but I sleep well and feel a lot better than I did before taking this...if you are also someone who doesn't believe in anti depressant medicine but has tried natural alternatives that haven't worked I would definitely give this a try on a low dose very good medication!"


"Whether coming home from a hard days work or worrying about the next job, Valium 10mg has been a wonder drug for me. It calms me down and allows me to think straight."


"I started taking it today and have seen a dramatic difference in cravings...they are non existent..I can't even finish my meals because I have no urge too. I see with this medication I am going to have to make myself eat. The energy boost it a major plus and because the energy boost is so strong in the morning I am going to change to morning workout for the duration of this medication. I previously lose 60  on my own but the doctor said I needed it to come off quicker. I'm 5,5 , 255 lbs...will be updating regularly.."


"This pill makes me taste and smell this nasty sour milk taste all the time. I cannot get rid of it, it makes me so nauseous that the thought of taking it nauseates me already. I get so sick off of it, been on it for over two years and symptoms of nausea never subsided. It has also completely taken away my sex drive, only reason I know this is because once my ex and I broke up I got off of it for four months and I was super horny, so uncontrollably horny, I wanted sex at all hours, but upon going back on it, I have zero desire for it. I've missed many days on this pill, because I rather just not take it, that's how gross it is and sick it makes me feel which obviously reduces its effects. If you can get another, please do."


"Started taking this 6 months ago for hbp.  I have no energy and could literally lay around all day.  I'm in bed by 8pm wake up still exhausted.  After reading the reviews here I have decided to stop taking it...period.  I feel much better with hbp!"


"Great drug - I was bed bound for months with crippling anxiety. I'm out the house, I'm back at work. I've met the love of my life and I can't thank the psychiatrist who prescribed me this with quetiapine (serequel) 150mg at night. Don't just rely on the nhs for your mental health needs. I was lucky enough for my parents to send me to a private practioner who prescribed this combination and it genuinely saved my life. (I am based in the UK) (I am taking 20mg daily)"


"I have been taking Celebrex now for a little over 30 days. I am 30 years old and have suffered from chronic arthritis pain for over 10 years. I have had two ankle surgeries leaving me with what feels like no relief. My last surgery was over 2 years ago and did provide SOME relief but not completely. Since I?ve been on Celebrex I can honestly say it?s been a blessing in disguise!!! I went from 2-3 days a week of pain and discomfort to virtually none."


"Pure pharmeceutical trash.  I gave the last 29 (of 30) pills to my doc and told her to keep it.  Worst night of my life...jittery, heart racing and trembling.  ...."


"I've been on Lunesta for about 7 months and it's made a huge difference.  I can actually sleep.  The taste hasn't bothered me as much as it seems to bother some people.  I take it and then read for a while and often the next day I can't remember what I read, but now that I'm used to it, that doesn't bother me either.  My doctor said it's not safe to take it for an extended period of time and tried to switch me to Rozerem, but that didn't work at all, and I insisted on the Lunesta."


"I really like this drug. I used to sleep all the time but this gives me tons of energy. I am one of the few who has actually lost weight while on it. I love my Prozac!"


"Hello! I was just prescribed this today..so day one. I was not sure about this combo of drugs but when the doc said it help with appetite control AND anxiety, I thought great! 2 Birds with one stone.  :-D I am 56 years old 5'3" and 160 lbs. UGH! I told the new doc that I have thyroid issues and wanted a blood test. And that I had always been able to lose weight in the past when I wanted to. I was a former personal trainer in my 20's but with my old age here I can't seem to lose it no matter how hard I try! He mentioned Wellbutrin was part of the compound... and I was good with it since I had taken this in the past.  Will keep you updated."


"This medicine has good and bad points with me so far.  I agree with the others--it makes my tongue go numb for a while and tastes horrid.  The only side effect I experience (and I usually get the weird ones) is a slightly alarming drop in blood pressure.  I just follow instructions and sit and stand very slowly and carefully.  So far at 10mg 2 x day, it is doing a great job of controlling both mood swings and hallucinations."


"I was on Apri for about a year. The first few months I would randomly get hot and feel like I was going to vomit. That went away after a few months. I never got pregnant but also used the pull out method. I was just hospitalized for two blood clots in my right arm and pulmonary embolisms. My doctor thinks the birth control is what has done this. I don't think I will ever take birth control again, not sure what to do now because I don't want children right now. I am a healthy 25 year old woman who should not have blood clots and so far they have found no other reason why I would have blood clots. Birth control is dangerous!!"


"Started on phentermine 30mg just 4 days ago with a private prescription.  NHS are not allowed to prescribe it.  Starting weight 15 stone 1lb and have lost 10lb already. I'm 5ft 4in tall with a small-medium build, age 34.
Pretty much lost my appetite completely but I also feel a bit uneasy/jittery.  I was hoping I would experience some of the more euphoric side effects but I'm also suffering with a heavy cold so maybe that's why I don't feel energetic.
I've had quite a few headaches already but this may be that I need to increase my fluid intake so I'm going to do that. Yesterday I only took 10mg (1/3 of my tablet) to make sure I could sleep last night. The first 2 nights I wasn't able to sleep.  Pleased so far."


"Doctors need to discuss side effects of this medication IN DETAIL before letting someone go home with it. I was prescribed 7 day treatment, twice daily 500 mg tablets.  Day 1-5.. Definitely felt very tired and almost high like I was on drugs.  Somehow I continued to work everyday. Increase in urination as well as the metal taste.  Day 6-7 were the worst. I got the worst case of hives all over my entire body. Raised little red bumps. I wasn't too nauseous throughout the entire process because I made sure to eat bread or crackers before and after taking each pill. Also, my hair started falling out more than normal. The withdrawals were horrific. Felt like I had the flu, and couldn't get out of bed for a day.  It's day 9 and things are better."


"I have been on different antidepressants for over 25 years with prozac being the best for me until...Viibryd. This medicine was great! I had a lot of energy and lots of positive feelings. The only negative was that if I forgot to take it for a day I became very tired. I highly recommend it to you! It is expensive, about $150 a month. I got it for free because I was in a clinical trial for it. What is $5 a day to feel great!"


"I started the sample, after taking the 2nd bottle I now have relief, (diarrhea). I have been asked by my doctor to stop taking it."


"I was on Vicodin 10/660mg for nearly two years when my doctor switched me to help save my liver.  It works just as well if not better.  I take 3 a day as needed for my osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.  It doesn't take all the pain away but I am able to do daily tasks but my knees still hurt too bad to do cardio.  I also use Voltaren gel on my knees, back, neck, feet, and elbows but my knee pain is too severe.  I'm going to have surgery on my left knee soon and if it goes well I will get the right one done and hopefully I can start doing cardio again."


"I have been on low dose Prednisone for 32 years. My RA started 2 years before Methotrexate and I was totally disabled for 2 years until I got in on clinical trials of MTX. The prednisone helped me get through flare ups and bad times. I would increase the dosage for a couple of days and ease the pain. Now I take 5mg a day every day to maintain myself. Now I am on disability due to my hands which are severely deformed. When you have experienced the effects of severe crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis, the pain of not being able to function at any level. You will do anything to relieve that pain. "


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


"Lexapro has saved my life. I have been on it for one month and I have gone from a severely depressed recluse full of anger, rage and self hate, not wanting to see or hear from anyone ever. I am back at work, socialising, eating normally, playing sport and am about to book an overseas holiday. I felt some positive effects after two weeks and felt good after one month. Depression and social anxiety has definitely improved. I don't have any constant racing negative thoughts anymore, these disappeared after about a week and a half. I had very minor side effects but it was nothing that wasn't manageable, a few minor headaches and feeling spacey for the first week. I take 10mg at night because it makes me feel tired and I have a great sleep."


"I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 3.5 years ago. Initially, I took Lamictal and Saphris for one year. Saphris made me too drowsy too often, so now I take Lamictal and Latuda (60mg).  I recommend taking Latuda at night with food. If I take it in the morning or during the day, I get very restless and can't still still or focus on anything. I have no problems if I take it right before bed with a snack."


"I started taking Qsymia at the end of June 2015. I received a card from my family Doctor giving me 3.5 months for FREE. I have done great on the first 14 days and the next 30 days of 7.25/46mg. Loosing a total of 23 pounds. However when I tried to get the next prescription I was told by my pharmacist that I would have to pay an outrageous amount and receive just the $75.00 coupon off. I am extremely disappointed in this company. They offered the free prescription and now refuses to allow you to receive them. I followed everything asked of myself. I know of another collage this has happened too. Same situation. The pills worked for me. No side effects at all. But if you receive a coupon/ free card from your Doctor beware!!!! It is expensive!"


"So I'm pregnant and I tried this  tonight. I applied it in but the cream came out and it burns. I don't know - I feel like I did it wrong cause kinda does feel uncomfortable and burns a little bit"


"I started this pill before I went off to college and it is an absolute godsend!! After the first couple of months of spotting both the second and fourth weeks I haven't gotten my period since. I have had no weight gain and only increases in acne when I am extremely stressed. I also have some spotting during the active weeks if I am stressed. I have been taking this pill for about a year and a half and I absolutely love it!!! I highly recommend."


"BEST BIRTH CONTROL EVER. Curbs my appetite so much. I went off Yaz for 2 months and actually gained weight and was hungry 24/7. I have no negative side effects at all, and I never feel hungry. I have so much energy and my mood is more stable. Yaz is perfect for me."


"my husband took meprobamates for about 30 years, he has been called bipolar schitzoaffective disorder ptsd manic depressive take a guess, seems every Dr has a different opinion. He did fairly well on this along with Paxil and Wellbutrin, but one Dr changed him to Klonapin (along with several other meds) and he has been on various doses of Klonapin for the last 5 or 6 years, now Dr swapped Lexapro for the Paxil and decreased the Wellbutrin and he is about jumping out of his skin. Oh how I wish we could find a Dr that would put him back on the meprobamates, he did so much better on those. I do not understand their reluctance, extremely hard to find a psychiatrist in our area especially one who will take new patients or geriatric patients."


"I have been taking Yaz for about a year now. My skin cleared, my periods have always been light, my cramps are normal, or easier to deal with. However, I cannot gain weight, and my breast's grew about a cup size. I know these things don't sound like a bad experience, and I am not saying I dislike this contraceptive, but obviously, not being able to weigh more then 115lbs isn't exactly normal. I also just don't really have much of an appetite. I am especially hungry in the morning. I occasionally get tension headaches, however, not sure if that has any relation to this. "


"I absolutely love Zoloft. It took my panic attacks away on 150mg. But I had 40 pound weight gain, sexual side effects, no orgasm, lack of interest, very tired all the time. I could sleep any time of day, I'm a 22 year old female just stopped it to try Viibryd."


"I just recently started taking Victoza in August 2017 I am on my 2nd pen. I like that my sugars are no longer 495 or higher I am actually in the mid 100s. I started out on the 1.8 dose not the lower like I have read everyone did but I started out taking trulicity but my insurance wouldn't pay for it.  Yes I have had the bloating, cramps, god awful smelling and tasting burps, no appetite and i have had weight loss. I cannot stand the sight of smell of food half the time and have to force myself to eat. I lost 6 lbs in the 1st week and a half. But I am happy with what it is doing for my sugars just wish there was a way to get rid of the burps. P.S Tums help a lil bit. Thank you all for your comments they have made me a lil less nervous"


"I've been taking Tri-Sprintec for almost a year now, and it does what I started taking it for: regulating things. However, I experience terrible cramps, irritability and mood swings, which I never experienced before I started taking it. I'm sticking with this pill because it keeps my periods short and light, opposite of before I was taking them."


"I found that in high stress situations, I still had some degree of anxiety (sweaty palms, holding my breath without realizing it, some shaking, etc) but overall my ability to handle anxiety evened out.  I was a lot less stressed and found decision making, dealing with my children, and talking in front of people to be much more manageable.  I was able to sleep better without waking up several times in a panic wondering what I had forgotten to do.  I stopped worrying about things.  This drug changed my life with a moderately low dose and with little to no side effects."


"I started on Altace for blood pressure of 145/90. Brought my BP down to 130's and 80's. During this period (2yrs) I had a cough that progressively got worse, to the point everyone thought I was catching a cold. I would cough everyday. By the end of the second year when I would cough I would gag and cough up clear liquid. I spoke to the doctor and she said "Oh no, your cough is not from this." Well I re-read the pharmacy papers and it was stated that a possible side effect of this medicine is a cough. I called the doctor and told her what I read, she agreed to change my prescription, within a couple of days my cough was gone. So if you have a persistent cough (dry or wet) on any medicines for more than a month please investigate the side effects."


"I've been on many pills and have bad experience with all of them. Mood swings, depression, exhaustion, loss of sex drive, breakouts, etc. etc.

Lutera seems like one of the best-of-the-worst I guess...  it made my boobs plumper which rocks, but I've lost my sex drive pretty much entirely so what is the point of that?!?

I'm taking it to control Ovarian Cysts and Endometriosis but I'm going to stop, maybe try another, cause I find that I get mad or resentful at my boyfriend when there's nothing out of the ordinary going on, and I don't really care if I see my friends or not... stuff I used to feel passionate about is like...  whatever.  I miss me.  At least Lutera didn't make me feel like offing myself like Ortho did, but it's still not great."


"A week ago I would have rated it less. Today (a month and 5 days after starting it) it's a 10. I started on 50 mg Sertraline, which I've been trying to tolerate for the past 4 weeks. Nervous and hard to concentrate. For the past few nights I've been taking 25 mg (splitting the pills in half) before bed with 1.5 mg (half pill) of Melatonin. Yesterday I decided to stop taking my Ginkgo Biloba supplement because of info I read about it with Zoloft. That night, before bed, I took the 25 mg, but waited till it woke me up to take the Melatonin. Today I feel great! Hopefully, after doing the same thing tonight I will feel the same way tomorrow."


"I used this for 2 years and it controlled my fungus but did not get rid of it."


"I got the nexplanon implant in March of 2015. I chose the implant because unlike every other form of birth control (except the iud), you don't have to remember to do anything. It just sits in your arm and does it's thing. I started bleeding about a week after I got it and have bled every day since March 31. Its September 24th today. I have an appointment tomorrow to get it taken out and on something else. The only way that this BC was effective is that I didn't get pregnant (because who wants to have sex when you're always bleeding...). I had high hopes for Nexplanon and I really wouldn't recommend that anyone get it."


"I am a 60 year old male with ADHD, who would have ever thought it? I started using Focalin IR 5mg after cutting it into four(4) pieces. I would take one quarter piece every three hours. It took me from being nonproductive to productive again with very few side effects. I am now taking Focalin XR, 10 mg in the morning and a 5 mg 6 hours later in the afternoon. I think my ideal dose will end up at 15 mg am and 10 mg afternoon to reach the optimal dose. The only side effect has been heartburn, a slight headache and being a little jittery with a occasional outburst of anger. I can handle the side effects which have subsided somewhat, to get the wonderful effects of this medication! ALIVE AGAIN AT 60 yrs old!"


"I've had a pretty good experience with this birth control. I didn't experience any mood swings or weight gain. I actually lost a bit of weight the two times I switched to Kariva from a different birth control. Overall I felt better on this birth control than any other that I have taken. The big issue that I had is that after taking it for a couple of months I would get breakthrough bleeding in the middle of the month. The bleeding would last so long that it pretty much a second period. It was a bit frustrating being on your period for half of the month. It might have decreased my sex-drive a bit too."


"I love love love NuvaRing! I have been on hormone based birth control for 6 years now. I have been on NuvaRing for 1 year. So far, this is the best one I've used and I have tried several. With OTHER pills, I have had weight gain (not in my breasts unfortunately), acne, moodiness, lack of sex drive, spotting, periods that lasted forever etc.

With the NuvaRing, nothing. My skin is clearer than it has ever been (not perfect but I'll take what I can get), I haven't gained any more weight, I only worry about it once a month. I think it's perfect.

The thing people have to remember is, everyone's going to be different. It's not the product, it's the person. Ortho Tricyclen Lo didn't work for me. Neither did Lo Ovral. And they're rather popular."


"For almost four years my life was completely out of control, what had started out as playful became my worst nightmare. I spent several years homeless, and in and out of institutions. Eventually, I had hit my rock  bottom and became desperate enough to fully surrender, that meant quitting alcohol, and putting down needle. Vivitrol helped me stay stopped. Before getting the shot I used to have cravings all day every day. Now I am to go about my day without worrying if today is the day that I relapse. Vivitrol gave me the extra push to stay clean and go about living a normal life. Cocaine/Mali etc users don't have anything to help them staying clean. So I am truly grateful for this drug! It helped me realize that life can be wonderful without drugs"


"I lost 40 lbs in less than 2 months. I weighed 170lbs to begin with so I wasn't very heavy. I loved taking it. It made me have so much more energy than I would have had. The only side effect I noticed was it made me chattier. I recommend it to everyone."


"This birth control changed my life. I suffered through menstrual migraines and headaches for years, for 3 weeks out of the month I had a headache almost every single day. I started this pill in October 2015 and have had THREE headaches. Amazing"


"I've been on Tri-sprintec for about 8 months and it is really effective. So far, I've had shorter periods (4 days) and I don't notice a lot of acne or emotional issues. However, I have had a weight gain of about twenty pounds on this medicine despite the fact that I was actually exercising more than I did previously. I've always had problems gaining weight and had been about 105 lbs for quite a few years so a few pounds wouldn't have hurt, but this weight gain was pretty troubling due to how rapid it was. I wanted to wait and see if things slowed down but I think I am still gaining so I may talk to my doctor about switching to a different pill."


"My son was diagnosed with Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis when he was in fourth grade. By the time he was finally diagnosed he was in a wheelchair and unable to move most of his major joints...even his jaw was affected due to the severe arthritis. Today I can say thanks to God, Humira, and monthly visits to Shriner's Hospital he has graduated from High School and is now in REMISSION!"


"Been taking it for about 6 month and the refill I got for this month has made me feel horrible, I have been light headed to the point of almost passing out, really short of breath and tired all day. I don’t know if they changed something in them now or what but I am done taking this stuff, I feel like I am poisoning my body. I’ll just eat better now and exercise more"


"This drug really did wonders on my skin. I know everyone's skin type is different, but I used to have horrible cystic acne all over my face when I was 14 (literally no place on my face was clear). I decided to go to my primary care doctor and she prescribed me with 100 mg of minocycline twice a day for however long I needed it and a benzoyl peroxide cream. After a few weeks I saw immediate results to my skin. Eventually it got pretty cleared up with a few breakouts every once in a while. I had stopped taking it regularly by sophmore year of high school. It didn't break me out immediately, but it slowly came back all at once and now I'm being put on doxycycline. If you take a oral med make sure you stick with it!!!"


"June 2015 I was in an accident as a passenger and I developed a fear of driving, and my PTSD was triggered. I've been diagnosed prior to the accident with GAD, Bipolar, Panic Disorder, Depression and PTSD. After a month of panic attacks my psych prescribed me Zoloft 50mg, I had terrible side effects. Mine were heightened because I was on an SSRI months before. I felt uneasy when I'd take the medication so I was put on Lamictal 50mg (will go to 100mg). Panic attacks were gone by the third week, and side effects were gone by the fourth week. All I can say is if you doubt the medication is working, ride it out. I second guessed this medicine because of how bad my side effects were, I'm in the fifth week of taking it and I feel amazing."


"Contracted q fever jan 2015 diagnosed march 2015 after a series of blood tests. A very debillitating illness thankfully the right diagnosis plus doxycycline has helped considerably"


"I had my mirena in about a week ago and I love it!!! So many negative things about the mirena, but everyone is different! It was uncomfortable getting it inserted but not unbearable! My doctor  was amazing! I didn't bleed at all... no cramps... or any other bad side affects!!! Everyone takes time to "warn" people of the bad side affects but many fail to acknowledge the positives! I would truly recommend this to any other female that has had a baby!!! I suffer from migraines so I couldn't take the pill, this was the next alternative and boy am I glad this was it!!!!"


"Wow.  This was a

Life saver.  I've had the mirena for 2 years now.  After years of getting worse with heavy embarrassing bleeding that literally held me captive to the bathroom and laundry all over.

 Anemia.  Clots.  Pain.  My quality of life was awful.

After mirena, periods stopped.  Altogether.  I have had some spotting now for

The last 16 days but it's so light I don't even need a

Pad.  Just shows up when I wipe.  A bit of cramping and some breast tenderness

But the anemia is gone and I don't even buy pads any longer."


"I have been taking this medicine for seven days now for bronchitis and ear infection.. I felt better after two days then everything hit me again.. Now I have been having persistent diarrhea gargling stomach and itching.."


"I was originally on Lutera for a couple months, my clinic transitions from Lutera to Orsythia occasionally. They have the same amount of medicine in them so it's pretty neutral. My experience has been pretty good. No headaches, lighter cramps and shorter period days (3/4). However, I became moody where I'd get very angry or very sad. It fluctuated but was persistent during my placebo week. My weight also increased a little, went from a size 1/2 to a 3/4 with lots of bloating 3 weeks of the month. Not too horrible I've been on this transitioning medicine for over a year and have not had any pregnancy scares or babies. Does it's job well with some side effects."


"I have been on Humira for over 4 months now with minimal results. I now have psoriasis in places I never had it before. So my Doctor just took me off Humira and I am now going to try Enbrel. Sometimes what works for one person does not work for everyone. I sure miss the Methotrexate, it was a great for 3 years, but cannot take it anymore due to it messing up my bone marrow, which is finally starting to go back to normal after 6 months. Good luck everyone."


"What can I say, dx with mild ADD too (who isn't anymore)  But this taken with Effexor XR has helped very much with apathy, motivation, energy and enjoyment of life!  Dr.'s reluctantly Rx this bc it is Schedule 2 substance and is mostly Rx'd for ADD/ADHD but it has a profound effect in boosting the effects of an antidepressant.  Taken alone for depression?  Not really a good idea bc it wears off fast.  I take 20-30 mg a day (TID)"


"Very pleased with the medicine. Suffered very severe pain."


"Began taking temazepam for pretty severe insomnia, day 1 - 3 slept 16 - 18 hours each night, day 4 was bad. Got a few hours, day 5 was a solid 8 hours and I can honestly say, I haven't felt this good in years! I feel like a new person. Also taking Lexapro, no issues with side effects."
