"I took accutane in the early 1980's after years of unsuccessful treatment by dermatologists.  I was given every antibiotic available, had ultra-violet light treatment, dry ice treatments, liquid nitrogen treatments and then finally X-Ray treatments.  None of these worked.  Accutane cleared my skin quickly and I haven't had a problem in almost 25 years.  I had no serious side effects."


"I've finished 3 packs of this pill. I came off of Depo Provera...endless spotting and I got the worst acne of my life. So I switched to Trinessa 3 months after Depo. Things are back to normal, but even better than when I was on no birth control. With each pack, I've noticed more improvement in skin, length of period and my breasts have become more rounder. I can't say I am ecstatic about it yet, but maybe I need to be on it longer. Period is only a little lighter, but is definitely shorter. Went from 7 to 4 days. Cramps are only a little better. Skin is not nearly as clear as it was before Depo, but on its way!"


"I don't know what I did but whenever I jumped on the trampoline with my kids, I was experiencing some weird pain in my upper back.  I put some a535 on my back. That didn't help. The next day it still hurt!! Then I took two aleve pills and the next morning I was ok. And I continued this way for a few days and my back was all better!!! Thanks aleve! "


"I'm no health guru by any means, however I caught my flu symptoms early on at day one & tried to avoid going to the doctor. By day two I had been vomiting and experienced a hellish fever.I went to the doctor and was prescribed Tamiflu. The dosing stated I take two pills per day for five days. I pretty much googled home health remedies for the flu. And it all worked out along with Tamiflu. I took one pill in the morning after eating (atleast 10min later), kept myself well hydrated with water, orange juice & ginger ale. I also made sure my protein intake was atleast 16grams. I took the second pill in the late evening after eating dinner & drinking a full glass of water. So here I am of night three with the flu & I feel great! I can breathe!"


"this medication gave me a bad reaction, it gave me restlessness in my legs and suicidal thoughts, i don't recommend this drug for me personally."


"I was on this pill for almost 3 months.  It gave me horrible painful cystic acne.  I broke out a little bit before taking this pill, but it was constant with this pill. Also my skin was really itchy, only after using constant topical steroids did I begin to wonder what was causing the itching and did some research.  Made anxiety much worse and crying all the time.  The side effects were too much.  Had to stop right before the 3 month mark."


"It's not bad. I had it 3 years ago when it was the implanon n worked awesome besides the non stop period for 3 months straight but for the rest of the 2+ years to have it in no problem at all..

This time I haven't got much side effect besides the urge to be hungry all the time.. acne. The period has stopped n I don't seem so moody as I was.

Everyone's bodys reacts differently to things.."


"LOVE Zyrtec D...HATE HATE HATE THE PACKAGING....why can't you put it in a bottle instead of having to open ALL these tiny blister packs!!! This packaging is AWFUL!!"


"I had the nexplanon put in about two months ago and have only had one period since. The period was normal and light and lasted about 4 days. I had cramps during that time, but it was nothing unbearable. Since that time I have been happy to not have to take any oral contraceptives in a timely fashion. I've heard a variety of stories from this form of birth control, but I would definitely recommend it to someone who doesn't want to take something daily! Also, the procedure does hurt a little, but they do numb you and it's very quick!"


"I'm a male 29 and have used Retin-A micro gel 0.04% for 3 years now. I've tried everything from Proactive, Accutane and over the counter medicines. Nothing helped me like Retin-A Micro gel. Sure there was an initial breakout in the beginning but now my skin is so smooth, acne free, healthy and bright that I don't even care about the initial breakout. After 3 months of use I am Acne free thanks to this medication. I will not stop using it."


"Best medicine ever"


"I've been on Prozac for about 20 years and it's been a lot of help but at age 68 I found myself wanting to nap a lot more and my motivation decreasing. I switched to Wellbutrin and once the therapeutic dose was established I began to feel better within a week or two. I feel more energetic and yet more composed and at ease. I'm very pleased with this drug, not the least because my sex life has returned. I think my life would have been different if I'd started it 20 years ago."


"I was prescribed this drug to alleviate the pain of Trigeminal Neuralgia. What a terrible experience. Only 4 days into it and I became overly down on the world and virtually everything in it. I was so saddened by everything around me. I was unable to simply look at photos of my children that I had easily done in the many years prior to this week, without any sort of difficulty whatsoever. Not really sure why it affected me in this manner so I went back to the Dr. He said that this medication is sometimes prescribed to help other people deal and cope with bipolar disorder, mania, and he mentioned a couple of other things too. I hope that this medication is more helpful to others that may try it for this purpose or the others too."


"I believe this medicine is making me more agitated.  I am in pain as I am waiting to have knee replacement in a month, but I did not act this way with my first knee pain which lead to knee replacement.  I am acting so extremely different, crying, cussing, being ashamed, sharply irritated, over and over.  I say and think the ugliest things, then I'll cry over a commercial or something out if the blue.  I feel like I'm going crazy.  I believe part of this is due to my doctor instructing me to abruptly stop taking cymbalta 30 (was low level bc I have increased liver enzymes) to Fetizma 40.  No tapering down from Cymbalta or ramping up on Fetizma. I have taken Cymbalta for years.   Could this be it?  If so, when will it end."


"I have MS and was having terrible spasms at night. Since taking this medicine I feel much better."


"Big boned brown lady who likes comfort food. Went from 216 pounds at 5"5 to 184 pounds 32 pounds gone. Feelin skinny and now swimmin at the YMCA. The doc likes my progress but 4 months is pretty good. Lookin to get to 155 within the next six months. It works"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"It certainly gets the job done.  It began working on me quickly like within the next 30 min if not sooner.  I did have some cramping with mine, but wasn't terrible. An A  in this area.

The taste,  absolutely awful and I had to stop to chew big red gum in between so many sips to keep from vomiting.  It tastes like salty thick grape cough syrup and has a terrible aftertaste.  I wish it could've tasted better,  but oh well its for a purpose."


"I've been taking low dose Ativan for years.  It worked well for my anxiety.  Although it seems to wear off extremely fast.  I actually split the pill in two, take a half before bed, and take the other half when I wake up at night.  The only problem is after my old doctor retired, I found nobody would prescribe it.  All the newer doctors would rather give out anti-depressant.  I had to quit taking it cold turkey last month.  Now I'm on an anti-depressant and some strong sleeping pills in order to get enough sleep.  The results are inconsistent.  Some nights I get only 3 or 4 hours, some nights I sleep 10 hours and still feel tired.  I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble.  Ativan was so cheap that it didn't matter I don't have insurance."


"Showed relief of symptoms after 24 hours great medicine!"


"1200mg xr per day worked and stopped my mental process enough to pave the road to recovery.

I developed arthritis in both hands and the most savage ADDICTION ever known to man i was now facing.

 I have now stopped compleatly and all the words and reviews can never prepare you for such an experience. I took the cold turky approach and 3 months of violent withdrawls i have stayed clear.

I WOULD RECOMMEND OTHER TREATMENTS BEFORE THIS AS A LAST RESORT.

It saved my life but at what cost. I still have mental health issues amd arthritis  but i quickly get on with my day when i realise i could be back taking them."


"I'm a great fan of diclofenac.  I have severe lumbar stenosis and osteoarthritis of the hips and knees, and could not function without some relief of the pain.  Diclofenac does not relieve all of my pain, but it relieves 60-70 percent of it, or enough to allow me to have a life.  For me it appears to be safe and effective.  The only side -effect I've experienced is occasional mild constipation.  I recommend it highly."


"I've been on Atripla for 3 years now.  According to my test I am undetectable.  When I discussed medication options, Atripla was the one that caught my attention right away.  A once-a-day pill that is to be taken at night before going to bed. I've not conditioned myself to associate bedtime with my medication. I did notice how much more vivid my dreams became. And that if I take my dose and stay up, that I feel awful. I've cut out going to bed a 3 am.  I've been told that missing one dose is like missing 10 days of the medication. So, be sure to ALWAYS take the medicine.  DO NOT MISS DOSES!  I'm having a great quality of life."


"I have been on diet pills off and on for more than 15 years Phentermine and Bontril. They have just lost there effectivess with my body from just prolonged use. So I found Belviq and saw that it is covered by my insurance my Doctor agreeded to try me on it 06/02/14. I weighed in at 260. 06/04/14 I checked my weight this morning because I just felt so much better and I'm weighing in at 255.2. It's so encouraging to see the scale go down instead of up. I know the first week or so of weightloss is usually water weight but I'm still encouraged..Will keep you posted of my progress my goal is to weight between 175-185 for my height and body structure that is what my doctor recommends."


"I have been taking Valium for about 6 months now and I thank God every day. I have been put on many different medicines to help with pain, anxiety and very bad night terror's. This medicine has helped with all of these with few side effects. I hope this has been helpful to you. I know it has been for me."


"I am 50  male and have had issues with Rosacea on and off for the past 5 years. I have tried many different products to try and control the redness that Rosacea causes to my face but none had any lasting effect until I tried Mirvaso. This product is Excellent as it clears my redness within 15-20 mins. I have used it for the past 6 months and I have to say it works miracles for me. As I travel a lot I make sure I always bring a tube with me. I understand that different products work differently on different people and I am sorry to hear that this product might not work for everyone but for me when anyone says they have a problem with Rosacea I highly recommend this product. It's Fantastic!"


"I have taken this for Diverticulitis and BV. It works. Had bleeding and severe almost septic Diverticulitis, was in hospital for 5 days and this cured it. Gets rid of BV too, just make sure to take Rephresh Pro-B pill immediately after finishing course of flagl and continue for a few months if you want to keep vagina healthy. Side affects of flagyl are diarrhea and slight nausea but bearable, just take it in the middle of meal. If you have horrible affects from it you are having allergic reaction, not side affects. I know bc my mom is allergic to flagyl. If taking for diverticulitus, take high grade probiotic for 2 months after finishing course of antibiotics to replenish good bacteria in gut."


"6 weeks in on Belviq and I have lost 20 pounds following a 1200 calorie diet.  All the side effects are gone and I have so much more energy now.  Good luck to everyone!!"


"Wow these reviews are scary. So cold water and a fan on your skin for itching and burning, and put it in at night before bed. Take some nightquill if you're really worried, but a cold shower and a pat dry is a life saver. Also just opening your legs and letting yourself dry and cool is good. "


"Started Chatix on April 17, 2013 with a quit date of May 1, 2013. Today is April 24th and my experience is going great. I never smoked much anyway, 3 to 6 smokes a day, but going through menopause and needing some relief requires me to stop smoking. I quit many times before cold turkey, but it seems this time has been the toughest because of other stressful situations in my life right now. But the Chantix has only given me an upset stomach and I can only remember one dream so far and it was quite pleasant. I had the experience another reviewer had...I was shopping!"


"At first I saw little effect, until I reached 65 units, It was not a remarkable change 10 pts on my sugar reading. But I got a weird laryngitis and a persistent cough with throat phlegm that went from Christmas until mid  March when I finally figured out it was caused by Tresiba. Stopping the inject let the symptoms go away. Very uncomfortable side effects."


"So, I took this after the pull out method. He didn't come inside me, but since I'm not currently on birth control and the possibility for pre-cum to contain sperm, I took this. I would also like to point out I'm way above the weight limit for what this works best at, I weigh 220. My period came the 1st of that month and we had sex on 12th. Took plan b the next day, over 24 hours later but still within the three day timeframe. I didn't experience any side effects until two days later, and it was only nausea. Today is the 20th and I woke up to period cramps and light pink bleeding. I'll take a test to be sure since we also had protected sex after plan b, but I think I dodged a bullet."


"Finally a birth control that doesn't give me horrible side affects like mood swings and heavy periods. I barely get periods which for me is GREAT!"


"Side effect concerns :  After three day of taking 325mg twice a day I became light headed, rapid heart rate (like it was going to jump out of my body) and extreme tiredness.  I stopped on day four and this may be unrelated but have a bad leg cramp, in my calf.  Concerns of a blood clot are high for me (no medical professional has looked at my leg yet)."


"Condom broke and he fully came in me. I'm 18 so we were both very scared. Took the pill about 30 min after. Got my period exactly 2 weeks later. No side effects from the pill except for tiredness in the first few days. I had already been late on my period due to stress from school so I was very nervous and didn't know what to expect. My period came about 2 weeks later than my expected one for May, the month I took the pill, and 2 weeks early from my expected June one, so right in the middle. Don't stress just keep yourself occupied."


"I have had great success and this drug would have been 10/10 for me but recently the third day I get breakthrough pain and this is affecting my life.

Without this drug I'm unable to do so much."


"I had big anxiety and panic. My doctor gave this  to me to treat that even though its for depression. It took about 2 months of treatment to fully see results. I felt 100 % better. Energy alive again. Anxiety was there but more managable. Even I still get "events of anxiety" nothing like before. I must mention my BP was crazy at first with with hot flashes  but all the side effects went away"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I've taken Pradaxa for almost three months.  For the first couple of weeks, I thought I would be one of the fortunate ones as I had no side effects.  However, the longer I take it, the more side effects I experience.  I cannot take it on an empty stomach, or even with only a light meal.  I have heartburn, especially at night, plus the bowel issues, which seem to get worse daily.  I don't want to go back to Coumadin, though.  I'm going to have ablation surgery and if it goes as planned, I hope to be able to stop taking blood thinner after a few weeks."


"I would have preferred to have been precaution first using condom or spermicide cream you can get from CVS.but I didn't got the plan b pill. I took it 3 hours afterwards and on my ovulation day too thank God I had the money not cheap. First day or two fine now if your breast is sore and cramps pill is working.if you can take a pregnancy test first to make sure you are not already pregnant. You can't have unprotected sex one week and then the following week you have unprotected sex and you think that this might be the time to take the pill you could already be a week pregnant or days so it's not going to work as a  baby is already in the making. Use EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE not ABORTION."


"I have had hot flashes and sweating while on this medicine which after a couple weeks have subsided. I am only half way through my first pack but have had a lot of emotional depressiom/anxiety since I started it. I was taken off of cymbalta and given savella. So far I haven't had any more energy but I am going to give it 2 more weeks which will be a month"


"As this viral stomach bug tore thru me and all my kids it presented excruciating stomach pains I was prescribed zofran for myself after puking and going diahrea for 8 hrs back to back with no relief it worked like a miracle....as this bug started on each kid I let them puke 6 times to get the virus out, once they were consistently dry heaving I gave one tablet (4mg) which is recommended for  2 to 12 yr. Olds thank god it allowed the stomach contractions to subside and they fell asleep!!!!! However would not use on kids 4 and under with out consulting an md"


"I have had cervical fusion in the past and when I am extremely stressed or do too much manual labor I sometimes get severe muscle spasms. I was given samples of Amrix and took it in the evening and slept like a baby. The next day at work I didn't have any drowsiness, but also did not have spasms or pain until it was time to take again. I took it only for 5 days and it was enough to calm the muscles down."


"I have taken a simple anti-depressant such as Effexor for years. I never felt they fully did the job. When talking to my Dr. one day, I told her my sleep patterns were horrible, with insomnia, or awaking early. She suggested Seroquel as an additive. I have been on it for about a year, and I have never felt so rested. I have a better focus. I even think it has really helped my depression a bit. Yes, it does increase my appetite a bit , but I try to eat healthy foods and walk. You must take it  a full 8 hours before you want to awake, or you may be droggy. I am really satisfied."


"After being on Lexapro for 2 weeks, I felt like a new woman."


"I am a 49 year old female who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I am taking Risperidone 2 mg a day with 75 mg of Effexor. I was severely depressed and suicidal everyday.  Lexapro made me extremely anxious and nervous. I think 75 mg of Effexor is helping a lot.  I am now not as depressed or suicidal. I am now regaining my energy and interest back. For everyone who struggle with depression/bipolar out there: don't give up HOPE. Things will get better and you will recover. I believe that. Hang in there, seek help and know that I am rooting for your quick recovery. Best wishes to all of you."


"Tonight is my first night taking this antibiotic. I have a inner ear infection. Let me tell you, Its 2:15AM and I'm up because the stomach ache I'm having right now. I also took right with a meal!! I'm calling first thing in the morning to hopefully change to something else. I can't go through 10 days of this!!"


"I have taken Ultracet for 10 years for pain. I have had surgery on both knees and I was in a bad car wreck that damaged the nerves in my neck. Ultracet takes the edge off the pain and makes it easier to cope with. Thanks to Ultracet I have led a relatively normal life. Without it I hurt so much that I don't want to do anything. I take four a day now and ten years ago I started with one. I take up to four a day based upon my activity level for the day."


"I tried this medicine at 50mg up to 4x per day and is very helpful for chronic neck, shoulder pain I have suffered for years. There are no highs and lows like other pain medicines, also had a nerve block injection to area and that removed the pain 100%. I highly recommend it, and a nerve block. It scared me too, but worked."


"Got my Iud placed at my 6 week pp check up. I was worried because I had heard many people have gotten pregnant with the mini pill and I'm definitely not looking to become pregnant. Im so its hormone free bc now! I didn't have to worry about my hormones getting anything thru my breastmilk.  Have had it for over a year now and its great."


"2 back surgeries/last one failed badly.Had 1400# horse drop back on top of me and reinjure my back, broke pelvis, pneumothorax, crushed shoulder and numerous internal injuries. A 2nd back surgery made things worse. I have been in constant back and now knee pain for 16 yrs. Surgeon and PCP who is a DO said I would never be someone who had to worry about having pain meds taken away. Well, they did 6 months ago and I have Advil. I can't shop, I can't care for myself and I am at the mercy of strangers. I hope every day to let me find a pain specialist who knows about chronic pain or let me go the next time I become dehydrated as walking to the kitchen hurts too much to get water. People dying out here because can't self care!!!"


"I was on femHRT for four months and had BV (bacterial vaginitis) all four months...it worked well for symptom management but the side effect was horrible. On an antibiotic every month until we figured out that the femHRT was causing the BV. Stopped taking it, the symptoms came back but no more BV."


"I have been a smoker for 45 years.  I have quit 4-5 times in my life, never lasting more than one year and often sneaking one or two or more during the time I was quit (though a real quit is NOT ONE PUFF EVER).

This time, I cut down my smoking for one week on Chantix from one pack a day to up to 5 cigarettes a day... I would try different things during this time....like driving around in car without any cigarettes in it, not smoking after a meal....etc.  It helped me recognize my TRIGGERS which were just about everything. At one week on Chantix I quit.  I have only been taking it for 3 weeks, but, I can only call it my miracle drug.....as I remain smoke free and the withdrawals LESS than any prior quit."


"I had sex with my boyfriend and the condom broke, didn't realize it until he fisished. We freaked out an bought plan b within the hour of us having sex. I didn't have many side effects until about a week later. My breasts were tender and had cramps. I was tired most of the time. 2 weeks past and today I got my period. The pill worked! Just don't stress out. I tried not to. I came on here just to read the reviews so I felt better. I was also not on the pill, and I am going to be soon. I'm not a very sexual person and I wasn't thinking straight. I have definitely learned my lesson. DON'T STRESS PIT THINGS WILL BE OKAY!"


"I had my Mirena put in a little over 3 months ago. I'm 24 years old and have no children nor have I ever been pregnant. The procedure to put in the IUD was very painful for me and although it only took 10 minutes it felt like forever. That being said I feel like it would have been better if my doc would have told me that it would hurt worse than just "mild cramping" and I would have taken a better painkiller other than the 200mg of Advil she suggested. That first night was almost unbearable and the next two weeks were not much better. I spot bled for about a week until I got my period which lasted for 13 days. After that however, the cramps stopped and so did my period. I think it was worth the pain at first for the convenience of no pill."


"I got the paraguard for the first time in 2009 after I had my first child and I loved it!! I had it removed in 2013 when we planned for our second child, after my daughter was born I had another paraguard put back and I still love it!! I've never experienced any sort of problems with the Para guard and I've had it a total of more than 5 years."


"I have been on Cymbalta for a while and my doctor kept upping my dose because I was seeing no difference in my moods. After being on 90mg daily for weeks and feeling nauseated most of it and still no difference, my doctor took me off of it."


"This only drug, after my doctor tried several, that works for me. The packets are the best but since Medicare supplements rx does not want to cover the price went up to 3000 for 90 days. So I'm on the generic pill because of the expense. Since this drug puts me in donut hole with medicare a month supply of this generic drug cost over 400 dollars. So you pay.  We suffer the affects while these drug companies are make a killing.  This a really really good drug for stomach suffers."


"Had never been hospitalized before and had to have a stent placed for a kidney stone.  Don't even remember the feeling of falling asleep.  Was on the OR table getting monitoring electrodes placed and then instantly in the recovery room and felt fine.    Transported to hospital room and was immediately able to drink a soda and eat  a sandwich.  No tired or sleepy feeling all.  Will request same for upcoming lithotripsy procedure."


"Pretty much a lifesaver. I've been struggling for years with panic/anxiety attacks and it has had a negative effect on my social life. Especially in school. I was always afraid to get up in class to speak class and found myself avoiding it all together if possible. My voice would shake, I'd trip over my own words, I'd start sweating and my heart would race so fast that you could practically hear it. Having social anxiety has been a nightmare. It stemmed from years of bullying and abuse growing up and never had any hope until my Dr prescribed 0.5mg of clonazepam twice a day. I take one in the morning and one at night. I can now go to class with confidence and wasn't anxious at all when I had to read aloud. I was completely calm. I love it."


"I actually like this birth control. I was on Othro Cyclen Lo and it gave me horrible mood swings, only problem with this birth control was when I first started it I did throw up alot for no reason but I have been on it for 6 months and I love it, but I am switching to the Nuvaring because I can't remember to take the pill. The first time I went on this pill I gained 8 pounds in a month than I went off of it for a few months lost All the weight. Second time I went on I gained 9 pounds. I'm not complaining because I did want to gain weight. I started off at 104 and I want to be 118 this pill does make you hungry and if you didn't eat you might get sick. I got very moody a week before my period but overall I love this pill."


"I have had Mirena for a month now. I switch to Mirena because I has absolutely no sex drive on the pill! The insertion was pretty painful (probably like an 8 out of 10) and the cramping has been bad at times, but not always. I also spotted for like 4 days after the insertion. Since having Mirena, my sex drive is back to normal and period was very light! Only required a light tampon at the max but for the most part just a panty liner which is awesome! I would recommend this to anyone who wants an easy form of birth control or for anyone who wants their sex drive back."


"I have found soma to be very helpful, even more helpful than narcotic medications for muscle sprain."


"I have not gone for a blood test yet since starting Vescepa. But I can tell the difference as far as less pain and no side effects."


"T2.  I have been on Metformin 1000 for several years and with diet and monitoring bs levels have managed well.  Recently,  I have struggled with numbers and decided to give in to additional help in management of numbers. I started with 10 day sample of Invokana 100 and did well. Felt fine, no real issues of concern.  Even thirst and restroom visits didn't really increase. Then started the 300 10 day sample and again no real noticeable issues. Requested prescription and now, 10 days later I can barely stay awake. I have always been a 5-6 hour a day sleeper and now I am so exhausted I could easily sleep 10-12 hours a day.
Decided to try splitting the pill to see if anything changes in my sleepiness before requesting to go back to the 100."


"I jumped onto Levlen just under a week ago and since then I have been CONSTANTLY nauseous, to the point that I can't even concentrate at work. I have not actually vomited but the nausea is debilitating! I thought maybe I should have a good meal before taking it, so did so but no success came of it. Calling my dr today to switch meds!"


"I am a 3 yr Breast Cancer Survivor and I got severe nerve damage from the waist down from the chemotherapy. I was to the point of taking two 10/500 Vicodins up to 3 to 4 times a day.  I am now on 10/650 Oxycodone and it's wonderful! I am a hairdresser and without this drug I could not walk. During chemo I was on the liquid oxy and it works in about 15 minutes. The pills take about 1/2 hour to 45 min.  Great Drug!"


"I have been on this for 3 weeks. Lost 20 lbs, no exercise but have more energy and getting more things done. I have no side effects whatsoever."


"I was prescribed this based on my symptoms and prior to the lab results coming back. My first dose was at 7 pm and the second at 7 am. By lunch the blood in my urine was gone and the pains were subsiding.  I took as scheduled with no side effects and when my cultures came back it was confirmed a bladder infection. This medicine is fantastic."


"I was first treated with Levothyroxine for my hypothyroidism.  After 6 weeks of being on it, it had no effect whatsoever!  I asked my Doctor for Armour Thyroid and boy what a difference!  It's great!  Too bad also that labs use an outdated reference range of what is "normal" on TSH, T-4, and T-3 blood tests results.  Do your own research, because what the lab says is normal is not!"


"I have been using Pristiq for about two years.  First year was a whole new life.  Past year has shown a gradual reduction in effect, to the point where we have tried increased dosages to no avail.  Looks like this great medicine has an efficacy life, and I am experiencing the end of it for me."


"Have been taking it for 2 years. Stopped my seriously depressed moods 100%. My hyper moods as well, although did not have these as often. I was severely depressed and couldn't go to work, angry, and my mind was spinning all night.  This was going on for years.  I never realized it could have been a chemical imbalance until I "flipped" from giving up on life, to "everything is great!  What was I thinking!" Then back to giving up again within 3 hours.  Lamictal has made all of this stop.  It's wonderful to be "normal" again."


"I have experienced debilitating leg pain, brought on by simple walking, and not sure if related to Praulent. Began shortly after first injection and had increased in severity. Have seen many doctors without success.

Any advice to Mike.schrider@jlodge.com.

Thanks"

"I was absolutely dreading taking this.  I have a huge fear of having to take any pills, or medicines which is why I won't be having the sedation tomorrow for the colonoscopy - wish me luck.  Anyhow I braved it and started taking the first litre at 630.  Nothing happened until 8 and I thought it wasn't going to work but now seems to have started :/  Similar experience to others but no cramps thankfully - I'm just going to take the last half glass - its now 8:15.  Its fine.  I paced it - drank a glass straight down about every 20 minutes and had a full glass of water in between.  If I'm not up all night pooping I'll be up all night peeing!  It's not bad and you can't taste it if you drink the glass quickly - good luck moviprepers"


"I have never had bad skin - I can count on two hands how many total pimples I have had in my life (32 years old.)  I am now pregnant with my second child and my complexion has gone crazy.  My forehead has broken out horribly bad.  My dermatologist got me started on this and I have already noticed a difference in less than a week.  They are not all gone, but they are getting smaller and no new breakouts.  I can't wait for a few more weeks to see if it is all gone."


"I am 59 years old and female . Had  or have  type 3. Had to take Sovaldi / Ribavirin treatment for 24 weeks. It was 24 weeks of hell, I think I had every side effect listed and then some. Seriously thought at the beginning the dose was so high I thought I would die, they lowered the dosage because my red blood cell count got so low I had to give myself shots of epogen to fix my blood. But treatment stopped in sept. And in november the hep c is not detected in my blood. But I still have lasting side effects , don't think I'll ever be my old self again. But right now I'm still alive. My advice to everyone is, before you try it read everything you can and talk to your doctor about side effects ! No one told me anything!!"


"I started on Alesse when I was 15 and it was the first birth control pill I had ever used. The first night I got awful headaches, and they carried on for the rest of the week. After that, I became very moody and just about anything could make me cry. Honestly that was the worst part, I've never been more moody and sad in my life. After about four months I began getting two periods a month, and I finally got fed up and switched pills."


"This is the same as the other one with electrolyte listed but its nasty; to drink a gallon is horrendous. They need to make a better tasting type of drink or flavor pack or something. I have been suffering from constipation for years and to drink this prior to my test tomorrow is just beyond me. It's been since 9:30 am and I'm still drinking it. The doctors said if you get nauseous etc etc drink it slower and it will still do the job."


"Tried weekly Boniva and had severe flu symptoms each time and had to stop taking it.  That was approximately 1 yr ago. Now taking once monthly. Thought it was okay no flu but having diarrhea and pain in upper thigh after taking twice. Just had 3rd one yesterday and diarrhea is bad."


"I was diagnosed with tonsillitis/strep condition. I was given a prescription of 7 pills. Took my first pill with water at 3:39PM and woke up at 5:30PM with my heart racing at over 120bpm and felt every blood vessel in my body pulsating. This lasted for only about 45 seconds to a minute I think. I was more worried about going into cardiac arrest than timing how long this was going on for. After that read forums on long lasting horrible side effects. No other symptoms till the next day. Woke up with sore knees. Did more "internet research on this drug and how it should be banned. My toes and heels are tingling, numb and feel like pins/needles and burning. Called my Dr. for a different prescription. Zithromax, which is fine."


Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone / phenylephrine

"Drowsiness is the main side effect I noticed. It does, however, effectively work in combatting cough-related illnesses. Consult your physician, or a pulmonary specialist, to see if this medication is right for your condition."


"I get repetitive yeast infections, so it took three treatments with Diflucan for three different infections before I realized that Diflucan was the thing that was causing the painful, blistering skin rash I was getting about once a month.  I was having what it is known as "fixed skin ulceration."  Ulcers in my mouth, blisters on my hands and leg, always in the same exact spots each time and always very painful.  No one told me there was even a chance that I was allergic to this medicine and when I sought treatment for the second and then third episodes, the doctors completely missed it.  There needs to be more information out there about this as the company only reports one previous person ever having this same reaction, yet it happened to me."


"Okay. my zubsolv experience so far has been good when I actually had the medication. At this very moment I am out and the pharmacies in my area NEVER have them in stock. I switched from suboxone to zubsolv because the state insurance stopped covering  suboxone and started covering  Zubsolv. Now, I don't mind this, but it's a bitch to get! They need to have their pharmacies carry it or else a lot of you are going to be sick over the weekend because they have to order it and they don't receive shipments during the weekend. I'm going through this right now and tomorrow is Christmas. I called every damn pharmacy and they all told me the same thing. Other than all the issues that come with trying to get my medicine,  zubsolv works well for me"


"I was on Microgestin fe 1/20 for 4 years. In the beginning everything was fine.  My acne from high school went away, I didn't have anymore cramps, and very light periods.  Now that i'm on my 4th year i noticed that all of a sudden I started getting cystic acne all over my chin area!  I knew that chin acne is a result of hormonal imbalance which confused me since I was on this birth control for years! My dermatologist recommended that I switch to Ocella since its better for acne."


"I had a major bladder infection and was prescribed Cipro.  I had diarrhea and dizzy spells the entire time I took this medicine.  I told my new primary doctor to prescribe Amoxicillin.  He told me that Cipro is better.  My former doctor prescribed Amoxil and I never had problems with that medicine."


"After several years/bouts of physical anxiety this was like a wonder drug. Felt a difference within days of taking, having tried several different antidepressants. Only side effect was feeling a little warmer."


"Works well with combine with medical Marijuana. I take them at night 2 in the morning. It let's me be able to sleeps at night. I wasn't able to lay down after a fail MVD operations. Since I started the Brand name topomax it help me a great deal."


"I took Tenuate 25mg 5 years ago for 6 months and lost 55 pounds. After hurting my foot and not being able to exercise I gained back most of the weight over a five year period. My doctor gave it to me again in May of 2013 and I have lost 45 pounds. I weaned myself off of it and am maintaining my weight now with diet and exercise. I love my doctor for suggesting this for "women my age" (40s)!!  It works great!!"


"I was given this medicine through an IV while visiting the ER for a migraine. Reglan gave me the worst feeling that I've ever had. I had a major panic attack within minutes. I had weird thoughts and my body could not stop shaking, especially my legs. There was a pool of sweat under me. I felt trapped and thought I was going to die. I wanted to tear out the IV needle a leave. The panic only lasted 2 hours, but it felt like 2 days. I hope to never have that feeling again."


"I tried every supplement/natural remedy under the sun to help relieve my OCD to no avail. I suffered from horrible intrusive thoughts and daily panic attacks that were driving me nearly insane. Then a friend recommended Lexapro. I'll admit the first two weeks were hell and I had every side effect under the sun. But after about 5 weeks, and an increase in dosage to 20mg, I felt back to my old self. Now I hardly have any intrusive thoughts, and when I do, they are much easier to control. I'm so thankful for Lexapro, it gave me my life and happiness back.  I'm now at 30mg and find this to be an effective dose for my OCD and anxiety. I hope it continues to work wonders for me!"


"I am a 77 year old male. My Grandfather and my Father suffered from Depression. I have suffered from depression all of my life. I was first diagnosed with severe clinical depression about 1975. I was put on ELAVIL and the results were very good and I took it for about 12 years. At that time the ELAVIL stopped working and my Doctor put me on NORTRIPTYLINE. That seemed to stop the depression and worked for a long time. When it stopped working, my Doctor put me on PAXCIL. Then, a Psychiatrist added WELLBUTRIN XL. Then my PDOC replaced the generic PAXCIL with PRISTIQ.   For the first time in 40 years, my depression has gone!"


"Took levothyroxine for 32 years.  In last 3 years, the weight gain, bloat, insomnia and overall funk became unbearable.  Saw everyone is having similar trouble.  Quit, cold turkey, 2.5 months ago.  Feeling much better, immediately began losing weight.  They say stopping was supposed to be dangerous, but I had no issues.  Am not taking any other supplements."


"I like the product, but the new cap is terrible.  It took me a half an hour to get it off.  Finally had to use a knife.  Tell the whiz kids that come up with these ideas that there are a lot of us out there that don't have the strength of Hercules and are Rheumatoid Arthritis people.  We can't get the bottles open."


"This is the only medicine over the counter or prescribed by my doctor that clears up my sinus headache without making me drowsy. Usually within 15 minutes there is relief."


"It worked great on my seasonal allergies.  I've had a real problem with insomnia.  Decided to check for causes and here I am.  I've been extremely sleepy during the day, but chalk that up to the lack of sleep.  I can't sleep more than 2 hours nightly.  It's killing me!  After reading all these reviews, I'm going to skip it today.  I hope I don't begin to itch like so many of you did.  It's a shame.  It made a world of difference to my head and sinuses."


"I feel that this contraceptive has both positive and negative effects. I'm a little disappointed my breasts have not grown at all since I've been on Aviane. My moods are slightly more moody, but my cramps and periods are painless. This is a lower level of birth control - meaning it won't make you gain weight or any other negative side effects others would cause."


"I've been diagnosed with panic disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. Two years ago my panic attacks got so bad that I'd wake up feeling like I was suffocating, dizzy, nauseated, with heart palpitations, numbness, and a sense of doom. I finally went to see a psychiatrist who, unlike my regular doctor, gave me a proper diagnosis and put me on Zoloft and Klonopin. I have gone from several attacks a day to none. It's a great medication."


"Has no side effects."


"I'm into my second month of tri sprintec

& I'm always moody, depressed, nausea & cry for no reason. My relationship has gone downhill & I easily get upset. I used to be a cheerful person but lately I don't even smile anymore. I started out on ortho tri cyclen & only switched to tri sprintec at Wal-Mart because it's $9 there & $29 1st Publix.  I'm ready to go back to depo but I read it causes calcium decrease. Just not sure anymore about these birth control methods."


"I have been taking this drug for a few weeks now. I posted before this drug was a miracle after severe eye issues including blindness/corneal transplant. This drug is really working well. One of the side effects for me is its curbing my food cravings . I know it sound crazy  but I have lost 7 pounds in two weeks. There is a slight burning in my throat and it slightly numbs my taste buds for few hours. I had lapband surgery and lost 60 pounds but was stuck between 250-260 for last two years. I started taking these drops and I'm suddenly starting to lose and I just have absolutely no cravings for sugar or sweets. At first I didn't even think it could  possibly be these eye drops but I have no other logical explanation."


"My mother (74) was prescribed Aricept when she was diagnosed about 5 years ago. She had very few side effects and seemed less anxious. However, there was no noticeable change in cognitive function, which has deteriorated fairly rapidly, especially in the last 2 years. It is hard to say whether the drug had any positive effect as I will never know what my mother would have been like without it. It may or may not have slowed the progression of the Alzheimer's."


"I have been on phentermine time release for 2 months. I have lost 14 pds with moderate exercise. I have not had any side effects. I go to the Dr once a month for a checkup. This is the only thing that has worked for me. I have tried losing weight in the past and even with diet and exercise nothing worked.  I know I can't take this forever but I wish I could."


"Worked great for GERD. After a while of being on it, it doesn't seem to work that well. I am on 40 mg's/day and now have a stomach ulcer? "


"I'm a pharmacy student and have taken Lexapro. This is supposed to be one of the most effective drugs on the market for anxiety and depression. I suppose I'm the exception, because taking Lexapro was terrible. I switched from Celexa (worked decently), which is chemically very similar to Lexapro. My doctor and I decided to try it thinking I would get even better results. That didn't happen. Lexapro turned me into a paranoid hermit. My anxiety hit the roof, I would have random depression episodes and begin crying for no apparent reason. Constant worrying. I will NEVER take this pill again. I'm on Prozac now which has worked wonderfully. But like I said- Lexapro works very well and has helped many people. Just not me."


"I've been on contrave for 2 weeks. I've lost 6lbs. I have had side effects.  The first 3 days were horrible. Felt spacy nauseous and tired.  Yet when I went to bed I didn't sleep.  After those few days it started getting better.  I do get hungry but I eat a smaller amount and stop eating cause I'm full.  I quit snacking during the day.  I don't want it.  And I am a big snacker!!  Just started the 2 in the morning and 1 in the evening.  We will see how it goes.  So far so good"


"was  great."


"I have been on Zyprexa for over 10 years, it has helped my illness greatly.  But I have had weight gain. Still battling cravings, also caused diabetes."


"I was on the yaz contraceptive pill for only around 6-8 months, but it was the worst experience. I complained about acne to my doctor and she recommended it, but I did not notice a drastic difference in my breakouts while on the pill. I had been on alesse for 2 years before switching to yaz so I was well aware of some of the side affects to birth control pill use. When I switched to yaz I honestly felt miserable and immediately noticed my sex drive decreased drastically and I had low energy all the time. I had never felt that way while on alesse and I thought perhaps it was only a side effect to just starting the new pill. However, in the entire time I was taking yaz my mood did not change and I felt it best to switch back to alesse."


"After being on this for 18mo I am happy to try something new. Where to start? All seemed fine then it started to snowball. Mood swings (crying over commercials!),   NO sex drive, break through bleeding that lasted longer than actual periods (3 days period, & 2 wks break through) & increased headaches.  "


"I became pregnant with twins, as I was not informed to refrain from sexual activity for 2 weeks. "


"I was 39 years old at my first clot after surgery. I went off Coumadin after a year. Then had a pulmonary embolism and was put back on Coumadin.  My INRs had great fluctuations. I now have my own home Coagucheck and adjust my Coumadin with a Dr's supervision and no clot since. I have had side effects but no clots since then."


"I was diagnosed with Degenerative disc disease in 1999, and then in 2009 I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis, Neuropathy & Sciatica. I was practically crippled and couldn't walk by 2011. My Doctor decided to try me on Lyrica and I can say with 100% truth and honesty that 4 days after I started it, on just 75mgs a day, I can walk again. I am still walking now in 2013 but just in short jaunts. I'm glad this pill exists."


"I took it for depression, but after a year it still didn't do anything for me. I had no side effects whatsoever, which was good, but I also had no noticeable improvement in my mood, either. I guess it just wasn't for me. It was like taking a vitamin."


"I actually have ADD. This may work for many people, but it gave me bad chest pain."


"I am on my 3rd week of taking Paxil.  The first week was difficult as my side effects were nervousness (which makes you think you are having an anxiety attack) and sleepiness.  After about 4 or 5 days I started feeling better and better.  I have only had 1 very small attack since being on it.  I feel SO much better and happier.  I finally feel like myself again. Good luck to all of you!"


"I found it to be not very effective. Yes, it helps some. for me it is less effective than flonase and Benadryl together."


"I am hearted by the 6 reviews. I have just started on Deplin. I have been on Remeron for two years. I cannot tolerate serotonin type medicines such as Prozac, Lexapro. Remeron worked beautifully at first but effects have slowly worn off and my anxiety and mild depression returned. I pray Deplin will work for me and I can regain my enthusiasm and joy in life. I am happy for those of you who have been helped. Wish me luck."


"I havd been taking Losartan 50 mg for 10 years. I had eclampsia with my second baby and never went back to normal. 5'10" 158 lbs very active 45 year old woman. I excersice and on low salt diet for years. It stopped working and my Cardiologist put me on Edarbi 80 mg. Worst drug I've tried. I've been on it for 3 weeks. My BP is getting higher and higher. Last reading of 180/100 today. From second dose I've had chest pressure, shortness of breath, really bad back pain. Left arm pain... fluttering in my heart. I had never had any of this symptoms before. The only thing that has changed was Edarbi. I'm really scared and seeing my doctor tomorrow to stop thus drug immediately. Not worked for me :("


"All I have to say is, give them a bit of time to work. Especially if you were on high doses of another opiate. Your body will not even feel them for the first 4 or 5 days. I was taking 3x40mgs of methadone along with 6x15mgs of oxycodone per day for 4 years until I had a heart attack. My dr. sent me for an EKG and my "QT" interval was in the 500s along with leg and body swelling, tightness in the chest along with severe constipation (most likely from methadone). Once they got me weaned down of the methadone they prescribed 2x16mg Exalgo per day keeping the oxycodone as breakthrough. I started taking them as directed with no relief and I felt nauseous with afternoon headaches. At the 4th day I started feeling more relief. Give me time."


"Fycompa is the best drug I have ever taken for seizures. I am nearly seizure free.  When I now have a seizure I will stare for about two seconds. No falling or shaking.  I have other meds but this is  a life changer."


"Two of us have used Zyrtec for many years because it is stronger than the other so-called non-drowsy antihistamines such as Allegra and Claritin.

We need relief mostly for sinus itching, throbbing, pressure, and discomfort; also useful for itchy allergic skin.

This medicine will usually cause pronounced drowsiness for the first 3 days, so the best way to get used to it is: take 1/2 a pill daily for 3 days, then the whole pill daily.  Also, it may increase urination.  But as I say, it is very effective."


"A year ago I had a major health scare that turned out to be fine in the end, but I ended up crashing, developing severe insomnia, severe anxiety, muscle twitches all over, major joint pain, brain fog and finally a depression. I resisted taking drugs as I thought I was going to get lots of side effects. I tried everything under the sun; yoga, meditation, acupuncture, tinctures, craniosacral therapy, psychotherapy, kinesiology etc. My psychiatrist and GP both strongly recommended I should take Lexapro. When I started pondering why I was living I started taking the meds. I started sleeping better and after some weeks the worst dread was gone and so was the anxiety. After 2 months I feel MUCH better and I hardly had any side effects at all!:)"


"The first time I ended up in the ER for a migraine was 10/5/14. It started at 11 AM while I was at work, and only progressed throughout the day. I wasn't able to eat, and when I finally did, I threw it up within minutes. I took 1650 mg of Tylenol between 11 and 10 PM, applied heat to my neck (which usually helps me), took a hot shower, and laid in a dark room....NOTHING helped that I tried. It brought me to tears, and I couldn't get comfortable or fall asleep...it felt worse while laying down. I called my mom at 1045 PM and asked her to take me to the ER. I was given Toradol, Benadryl, and Reglan, and I felt no pain and was asleep within minutes.....I slept majority of the following day, but it helped!!!!"


"Tamiflu rocks! Had horrible chills, headache, cough, body aches, and temperatures over 101.  Took my first pill on the second day of the flu and was 60% better the following morning and feeling almost normal by that afternoon.  No side effects that I could tell.  I had a flu shot but got it anyway.  Just my luck."


"My girlfriend has taken this product 3 different times. The first time she had withdrawal bleeding for a week two days after use. The other two times she didn't bleed at all but suffered from extreme nausea, bloating, headaches, etc. This product truly works as 2/3 we had to use it were the most fertile times of her cycle. Recommend this product to anyone."


"I started this medicine in April 2017 after coming off of Zoloft (250mg/day) wanting to try something new and the zoloft wasn't really cutting it anymore after being on it for years. My Dr recommended this medicine and around the same time I was having stomach ulcer issues so I didn't contribute the nausea I've been having to this medicine. I'm on 20mg/day and I vomit daily from the severe nausea. I've lost almost 10 lbs  in the past month from vomiting almost every time I eat, anywhere from an hour to 5 hours after I eat something. DAILY. I've had tests ran on my stomach and everything has come back normal so now I am thinking it is this medicine making me so sick, especially after reading so many bad reviews on it for this reason."


"I started Buspar four days ago, and my anxiety is unbearable now. I suffer from severe migraine which has gotten worse since the first dose. Since it's only been days maybe I will try one more week to see if my anxiety gets better but from the looks of it I doubt it."


"Started in mid-February 2017 with 2-wk "free" dose and then went to monthly regular dose of 7.5 mg. Started at 258 lbs and have lost about 10 lbs in about 3 wks with minimal exercise...just brisk walking for 30-45 mins at lunch.  The biggest change is it stops me from thinking about eating as a really enjoyable experience.  In the past I would have obsessed about the weekend BBQ or would have gone for two helpings of pasta because it was so good. Now, I eat about 1/2 of that and don't find even that to be super delicious.  That's a little sad, huh?  Anyway, feeling healthier and besides being a little short tempered now and then, no other side effects (51 yr old male)"


"I'm on Day 8 of Chantix. I have smoked for twenty years and tried several other methods without success. My best friend is also taking it at the same time. The dreams are vivid. I'm very tired. I've also had headaches which are not typical for me. I'm light sensitive and so dizzy that I feel unsafe driving or working at times. However, I've continued to take one pill a day instead of the two. I'm now on 1mg. I have noticed less cravings. I'm so miserable that I'm gonna stop smoking just so I can quit this medication. Oh and I forget, depressed. Wish you all luck!"


"I love this birth control. I've been on this pill for 3 months already and I simply love it. Works in a matter of a week and it really protects you from pregnancy. My boyfriend and I have sex all the time and I always get my period on the first day I take my placebo pills. When I started taking this pill I was 155lbs now I'm 146lbs. I must say losing weight is fantastic. Aviane makes me bloat some days and lose my appetite but the whole point is you won't get pregnant! Love it."


"Third shot of Lupron and suffering a lot. Joint pain and depression. But doctor does not agree it has side effects."


"I was having an anxiety disorder (shaking hands, blushing, obsessions) I was put on sertraline but had a terrible side effect to this and was put on 20mg amitriptyline to counteract this. From moment I took it my hands stopped shaking and intrusive thoughts reduced. I was upped to 50mg and I am back to my old self. Hardly any worries at all, no shaking, feel happy. No dry mouth but I have put probably a stone of weight on and gone up 1-2 dress sizes. This side effect is worth it for the benefits it has given me."


"This medicine is the only one to help me in my depression."


"In August of 2011 I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma at Stage 4.  It was an extremely low platelet count that provided the first clue to my doctor.  I was scheduled for 4 rounds of chemo, each round on two consecutive days.  After the first round, within a day, the lymph glands around my jaw and neck shrunk visibly.  It looked like I lost a lot of weight.  The chemo worked extremely well.  But within a few more days I was experiencing an adverse reaction that caused my skin to turn a deep red/purple color.  I also experienced severe gout due to so many cancer cells being killed off.  My feet, ankles, and knees were affected the most till finally I couldn't walk.  My right leg was locked in a partially bent position.  I'm ok now."


"I suffered a compression fracture at L2, and I have had a failed posterior lumbar interbody fusion at L4 five and L5 S one. I am disabled and only want a life that is worth living. My New pain management physician started me early this week on Nucynta ER 100 mg every 12 hours, and for break through pain to take oxycodone acetaminophen 10/325 four times daily. I'm not getting much relief from the Nucynta ER 100 mg. I am very disappointed. I will consult with my doctor to see what he feels I should do. I am so unhappy with our government, that is harassing people that are 10 times more educated than they are, on "proper prescribing behavior" for the treatment of chronic pain. This is a disgrace to the USA!"


"started epclusa over a week ago and so far no side effects and do seem to have a little more energy now.
type 2 and looking forward to cure."


"I had Nexplanon for 4.5 years. My first one was GREAT! Aside from hurting when they put it in, and skin sensitivity at the insertion point for about a month, it was great birth control. It's more effective than tubal ligation. And you don't have to remember to take any pills. You can't get baby fever and decide to stop taking birth control. It's temporarily permanent.

I had the first implant removed at 3 years, and had my 2nd one inserted. It was placed deeper in my arm than the first one. No skin sensitivity, but from insertion, I had SO many side effects with the second one. Weight gain, periods that would last 10+ days every 4-6 weeks. Random brown spotting. Mood swings. Hormonal acne. Got it removed. Hallelujah!"


"I take Saphris 25 mg every day. I have BIPOLAR/SCHIZOAFFECTIVE/OCD/PTSD. I has been 2 1/2 weeks and it is helping a ton! Negatives: kinda annoying to take but you'll get use to it.  It is a tablet that you put under your tongue and wait for 10 min. to eat or drink. It just came out with a  black-cherry taste which tastes like a little piece of candy. Other negative are  headache, some insomnia but then sometimes it will help a lot with sleep. I think the insomnia is due to  my caffeine intake. So if you really want this medicine to work, don't use pop/coffee, big pupils. Positives: calmer, deeper and longer sleep, increased motivation, weight loss, decreased irritability, more stable mood, more creative, can pay attention more, more creativity, and more clear mind.."


"It's now been three months since I had the Mirena IUD inserted and I'm glad I went for it. The insertion was not painful, although measuring the cervix was. However, the pain went away real quick. I had lots of cramping and spotting for the first six weeks, and since I'm very sensitive, it made me a bit moody too. However, as it settles in, I'm loving the convenience and the no-worry assurance of birth control, and I'm very glad I got the Mirena.  Read a lot of negative reviews before I went for my appointment, but I felt like it was the right thing for me and I'm glad I trusted my instincts.
If you're thinking of getting one, just know that there is an initial adjustment period and things will get better if you just give it some time."


"Hell for many years now.  2 months ago I was once again fetal positioned in a laundry basket rocking back and forth in the attic and I finally said enough is enough%u2026I am going to get help. I am a rapid cycler-about every 10 days my episodes would begin again-I had about 5 good days/month. I never wanted to be "zombiefied" by medicine so, I reluctantly and VERY defensively went to the doctor and asked for help. They gave me Lithium and I can't believe the change! I finally feel free for the first time in my life. I am on a lower dose than some. I still have some symptoms, but feeling them is allowing me to work through them, and also NOT lose my creativity. Only side effect is that I walk into things- annoying."


"It worked wonderfully for several years until I got a tooth infection.  I had to go off Arava for the antibiotics to kill the infection.  Sadly when I returned to Arava it no longer worked for me."


"I've had a good experience with Geodon. It has controlled my mania and I have 0 side effects. I started at 40mg. which was not doing anything and then switched doctors and am now at 120 mg. 40mg in the day and 80mg. at night. It's truly been a blessing. I also take Zoloft for depression and anxiety. Together they work well for me. My 8 year old son has just been diagnosed with bi polar and he has just started on Geodon. In the beginning, he was very drowsy, but in a matter of days, his hyperactivity, non-stop pressured speech, risky behavior and emotional meltdowns and temper tantrums have all but disappeared! We all thought he had ADHD, but so far, no more ADHD meds, just Zoloft and Geodon, and he's doing well!"


"This medication has improved my life so much. When I started taking it I was 17 and struggling to juggle friends, school and three migranes a week (which if been experiencing since I was twelve). I am now 20, in university, have loads of friends and only about 3 migranes a month. This might still seem like a lot, but to me this is bliss compared to how I spent most of my teenage years. Verapamil was a last resort my neurologist put me on after trying everything else, nobody expected it to work. It was (and still is) amazing. I have hardly any side effects, which is strange since I had a lot of horrible reactions to the other medications I tried before. Verapamil was my miracle drug, not sure how much longer I could've gone on as I was."


"I am 40 years old, fever for three days wih chills and body aches.  Went to the Clinic and had a temp of 103.4 within a couple hours of taking Tamiflu with Mortrin (advised by the Doctor) my fever was down to 99 degrees.  I just took my second dose and starting to feel better.  It was $124 with insurance but totally worth it."


"I have been on Contrave since 6/9/15 and have lost 30lbs.  I exercise every day, at least 45 minutes of walking.  I had minimal side effects that started with nausea after increasing to 2 pills in the morning and evening, but that diminished within a few days, other than that I have had mild constipation.  LOVE this medicine.  It's helped me to steer clear of snacking, especially chocolate.  I have at least 35 more lbs to lose to be where I want to be.  I will continue with Contrave because to me, it is AMAZING!  Good Luck to you all !!!!"


"I've been taking Methadone disks for 5 yrs after a long battle with pain that lead to illicit use of injectables. This has saved my life, family and health. I have absolutely zero cravings nor desire to return to my previous lifestyle."


"After two weeks I couldn't take it. My nerves felt so thin every little normal everyday snafu became an emotional overload. I was angry in a flash at at work, and also on the road while driving, making me realize how unsafe and untenable my life had seemed to become. I would also randomly feel like crying at work which only created extra stress to try to keep calm. After a couple different sick days where I tried to relax and integrate the medicine, I realized with intuition it just wasn't all in my head. So I stopped and felt more normal soon after. I was also bloated and nauseous while taking it.  My advice is try it if you want but if you start having emotional problems don't wait around trying to adjust or assume it's all in your head."


"Okay so this is my first time having a YI I'm 17 and I was so scared at first! I told my sister my situation and she recommended the monistat 7 saying the others didn't work. Well I'm on night 4 right now and that pain is so horrible! The fact that you have to take the cream before bed makes it really hard for me to fall asleep. The pain gets so bad I have to distract myself so I won't burst out into tears. This has been such a long week and I dread every night I have to go to bed "


"I started taking Lo Loestrin when I was in high school (for painful periods) 5 years ago and it was great. My periods got so much lighter and I loved it.

I did get nauseous occasionally and sometimes had breakthrough bleeding but nothing too crazy... I could live with it.

All of the sudden in the past year and even moreso in the past few months, I have had decreased libido and mood swings. The libido issue is really taking a toll on my relationship so i've decided to switch.

I do still recommend this pill though. I overall had a good experience with it, especially for my awful periods."


"Lost ten pounds in eight days. I believe it was water weight as I was having to get up 5 to 6 times a night to pee. Starting my fifth week I have  lost less than two pounds as everyday it goes back and forth one pound. I had all the side effects, right now being the constipation. It has caused anxiety which I had to be medicated for a few years back. Have noticed that when I get hot I get sick but if I stay cool I am fine. I DO NOT EAT. Rarely hungry then I will get sick from not eating, so I do not understand why the weight is dropping off."


"I have Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD. Tried different kinds of medicines for my TS. Depending on my day, I could have some to a lot of tics. Topamax did wonders for my tics, but it can have side effects that are similar to ADHD symptoms - different remembering some words/names when asked, unable to concentrate, etc. I also experienced that my thought-pattern were kind of limited to a certain degree, as I would sometimes have difficulties thinking further ahead. This medicine however, was much better than other kinds I've tried. "


"Finally a medication for Fibromyalgia. It's awesome. I have been suffering with Fibro for 3 years and finally convinced my doctor to put me on Lyrica, and it is great."


"I had been using Flomax for the past 3 years and my urologist suggested I try this new medicine Rapaflo. Well I took it for 5 days and it became very difficult to urinate so I switched back to Flomax and all is flowing well again."


"Was using Uroxatral.  Rapaflo seems to work about as well, but I also have experienced very little or no ejaculation - very strange sensation."


"Within 7 days my condition improved by 75 percent. The flaking almost COMPLETELY stopped. The only minor side effect was a slight darkening of the skin where the medication was applied. I now use the drug only when a flare up takes place. My pharmacist uses the following formula: Salicylic acid:10 percent/Sulfur:8 percent/ coal tar:2 percent.  Avoid excessive exposure to the sun when taking using this ointment."


"I'm 19 and have had acne since I was 11. I have oily skin. I've tried almost every over the counter acne treatment, and to name some: Shiseido, Clearisil, Proactiv, Clinique, Obagi.

They all slowly showed results, but then stopped working. I was told to take doxycycline for 2 months straight. I started taking my dosage diligently (100 mg/2 tablets a day) for 2 weeks, but then stopped. Results weren't instant, of course, but a week after stopping all the (extremely) dark marks I had all over my face had faded significantly and I would only get a pimple every couples of weeks, then the acne came back.

I started again, have been using it for 2 months straight, have clear skin, and only get acne during my period. I couldn't be happier."


"Olanzapine did not work for me, my psychosis symptoms did not improve at all, if anything it made them worse.

It made me constantly dizzy and very tired. I could barely function, or even keep my eyes open, I would sometimes fall asleep sitting up. Constant napping there was no choice. I felt like a zombie with no feelings or emotions which is worse than my original condition imo. And the worst part is you do not have a sex life when on this medication at all! No desire to have sex, it actually hurts to have sex and it's impossible to orgasm

I was a pretty small person to begin with around 120-125 and I eat a healthy low carb/sugar diet, no processed foods mostly organic fresh vegtables and oils, never over eating. So when my doctor told me that I would probably gain weight I didn't think it would actually happen but I took it for 7 months and I ended up weighing 166! It was so depressing and now I have permanent stretch marks on my body :( I don't take any medication any more and I honestly feel so much better. Also if you research olanzapine it's a pretty dangerous drug and has killed a lot of people.  "


"I would highly recommend this medication. I tried multiple SSRI's like prozac, zoloft, abilify, and welbutrin and this worksd far better than those. For once I actually feel happy, talkative, and good. Do not stop taking this medication cold turkey or withdrawal effects will be bad. You should always taper over an extended period of time."


"I love this medication, it works a lot better than the pill! I can go about 18 hours or so whereas the pill will last only a few hours, if that!"


"I am over weight and I have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. So this could be why I had such a bad experience.
The first two months were great, I had no side effects and my period even stopped. (I had my implantation while on my menstrual cycle).

Then month three hit, and I had a normal period.

Month four started and I had a period again, however it never stopped.  After a year, and 8 months of heavy bleeding (I was using depends because I was bleeding through o.b. ultra tampons combined with an overnight pad). The doctor who implanted it just kept telling me it would stop eventually and to take ibuprofen to slow the bleeding.  It took 8 months for me to convince an on/gyn to remove it, they only did because I had become anemic."


"I have nothing but good reviews for this birth control! I was terrified of taking it because of the horrible reviews that I read before but I got on three weeks ago and haven't had any horrible side effects or any sides effects at all thank goodness. Only thing is my boobs feel bigger and fuller which is a plus and my acne is subsiding. Other than that, I love this birth control and will continue to take it!"


"Been on it about 5 weeks. 300mg. No yeast infections. Yes peeing more, but for me it is a more normal amount. Before I had to force myself to drink, rarely felt real thirst,  and always felt I retained water especially from eating carbs. Now I drink more and pee more, but manageable. Once at night only.  The best thing I noticed is more energy and slow but sure weight loss on a more normal amount of food. Lost 8lbs so far and waking up in the morning is easier.  More energy means more exercise too. So far, so good. Love it, feel more normal like I did when I was younger"


"I have been taking birth control pills for over 10 years and never experienced a single negative side (other than bloating) until taking Ethinyl Estradiol & Levonorgestrel, also known as Aviane. It led to near-constant nausea and severe adult acne. A warning to women everywhere: STAY AWAY.

Ethinyl Estradiol & Levonorgestrel AKA Aviane also goes by the following brand names:

Alesse, Altavera, Amethyst, Enpresse, Lessina, Levlen, Levora, Lutera, Lybrel, Nordette, Orsythia, Portia, Sronyx, Tri-Levlen, Triphasil-21, Triphasil-28, Trivora-28"


"Started this medication over a year ago, and it has helped keep my heartbeat regular.  I had an episode where my heart rate was over 200bpm, and had to go to the ER in an ambulance from my doctor's office.  It has not repeated, thank goodness, and I had no side effects from this medication, which I take with Zestril (which I'd been taking for many years before)."


"As far as its intended use (Birth Control), it seems to be doing its job, however it did come with some side effects. I haven't experienced any acne or weight issues but my mood / attitude has been out of control. I'm a very level headed, stoic type of person but my emotions have been all over the board from crying for no good reason to outbursts of rage at the tiniest inconvenience.

The one positive side effect I have experienced is extremely short, almost non-existent periods. But honestly, I'd rather have a week long WWIII period if it means keeping my sanity. I plan to switch as soon as possible."


"Saphris does not taste good; it leaves my tongue slightly numb. I've experienced no side effects so far in the 2 weeks I've been on it. I have experienced relief from symptoms from disorders."


"Hypercare did not work for me that well and caused my skin to form a rash and cause it to hurt very bad"


"Was really disappointed. I started at 10mg (have taken Ambien IR 10mg for 2yrs). It actually worked great - maybe the first sleep aid that made me feel genuinely, naturally sleepy, not drugged and sedated. But after I went to sleep, I had 3 hrs of horrible, vivid nightmares that woke me up every 5 minutes panting & sweating. I also experienced sleep paralysis for the first time in my life. It was absolutely terrifying. I tried to keep at it for a few nights as several people have said the side effects go away quickly, and even tried only taking 5mg, but it was intolerable. Too bad. It is maybe worth noting that I take a handful of other meds including Seroquel, Klonopin, Lamictal, etc."


"I was on Triumeq since Sept 2016 . Everything was fine, till I developed type two diabetes and doctor said one of the component of the medication can increase the blood glucose in your body. So now have switch me to Genvoya."


"Expensive, Did not help with depression at all."


"After years of suffering through allergies (year round, anything in bloom, grass, trees, etc.), my doctor gave me a shot of Kenalog-40.  The shot lasts for 6-10 weeks and has relieved all symptoms.  I want to make sure that I don't over use it (as all other allergy medicine I build a tolerance to, and then it fails to work)."


"I've been on this medication for over two months. BuSpar helps with day to day, general anxiety. That said, I don't feel that I can rely on this medication to stop a panic attacks. I still have agoraphobic feelings, and certain anxious thoughts (hypochondria type things) that haven't ceased since before starting this medication.
Side effects I've noticed: Lightheadedness. Moderate fatigue. Munchies, snackyness. Increased libido and depth of taste.
Give it a try. Compared to SSRI's, it seems to be as effective without changing one's brain chemistry so drastically."


"I'm on my 10th week of the drug, and it usually takes 12-16 week to see the full effects.I apply it at nighttime, and sometimes apply a layer of moisturizer 15-30 minutes afterwards. It dried me out SO much in my first month and a half of use that I had to start skipping nights and use three layers of moisturizer. My skin burned when I would put on my lotion because it was THAT dry. I now use it everyday and still have 2-4 active breakouts at any given time. I also get A LOT of small whiteheads (those may be from shaving my face though) and I extract them myself, which probably isn't a good idea. My skin is definitely better on the medication than off, I just hope the results are better in 2-4 additional weeks of use."


"My doctor recommend glucophage 500mg twice a day, with breakfast and dinner. With breakfast also take 5mg Glocotrol. It made my sugar level  /- 100 while previously was as high as 400. "


"The insertion was the worst part. When I got Liletta inserted it was very very painful & it didn't stick inside my uterus the first or second time. By that point I was shaky and moaning in pain but the 3rd time was a charm and it stayed, thank goodness. It feels like a big pinch. I had bad cramps the first two days after and had to stay at home with a heating pad.

Other than my insertion horror story, I LOVE IT so far. I haven't had a period and I feel fine. I barely know it's there & my boyfriend can't feel out during sex either. It's great and I highly recommend it :)"


"This is my third pregnancy. My previous pregnancies I had horrible nausea and vommitting. Took Zofran from the time I found out I was pregnant until the day I gave birth. With this pregnancy however Zofran wasn't working for nothing!!! Got prescribe Diclegis and took 1 at night (last night) made me very sleepy. Woke up and felt a million times better though. I haven't felt like this in months! I finally feel normal! This is a lifesaver my copay was $50 but it was worth every dollar! It's now 8:30pm the next day and I still feel pretty good off last nights pill. It did put me out like a light but reading other reviews the drowsiness shouldn't last long."


"Hi, I am 26 and 5 foot 5. I started taking adipex on 3/27/16. My start weight was 211. Now, only 4 days later, I have lost 10 pounds and at 201. I am excited to see what I will get to. My goal weight is 160."


"July 7 2013

Day 32-still no reliable scale, but as of today, have gone from size 14 to a size 10.  Started regular Qsymia dose on Jun 20.  Workout 2 days with weights, 2 days of cardio, 1200-1300 calories per day and lots of water, about 80 ounces daily.  Side effects are dry mouth and some mild constipation.

Jun 14 2013
7 days into the starter dose with no side effects. It does curb the appetite and definitely helps with the cravings for sweets. I don't own a reliable scale but my clothes are considerably looser and my sister says I have definitely lost at least 5lbs. We'll see what the rest of the starter dose and the 7.5mg dose does along with working out with a personal trainer twice a week.  I'll check back in 5 weeks."


"I have suffered from constipation and IBS forover 40 years.  The drug works great, no gas, no cramping.  I still have occasional problems and occasionally diarrhea.  I will soon find out if it works as well when I travel -- which has been terrible in the past.  If it works when I travel it will be a miracle!  The price, however, is shocking and so in order to buy it at all, I have to order it from Canada."


"Just took my 2nd injection (the first without supervision) this morning. As others have said the needle is larger than I'm used to, and the mixing a little cumbersome, but I'll willing to stick with it. I had to stop both Byetta and Victoza due to horrendous side effects. I'm praying that the Bydureon won't make me as nauseous."


"I had very bad cystic acne that was worse during my cycle. I tried oral antibiotics and they were somewhat effective but I still had issues around my cycle and they are not for long term use. So I started this and halfway through the second pack/month my skin was completely smooth and pimple/ whitehead free. I could not be happier.

When I first started taking this I had a very bad breakout, but by the time I hit the third week of the first pack my skin started to improve. My hyper-pigmentation that was left behind is getting better since I am not having any new breakouts.

I was worried that this generic would not be as effective as the name-brand OTC-Lo, but it is great and free on my insurance!!!"


"This experience is hellish!  Although it doesn't allow you to get preg, as intended, it makes you have many side effects.  I am a healthy 5'7" althletic woman.  I weighed 130 when inserted 6 months ago.  My sugar cravings and moods have been all over the map.  I am bloated.  I am swollen.  My periods are still heavy.  They actually are twice as long now.  My sex drive us non existent.  I've been to a hormone specialist now (1k later in costs) to get blood drawn only to find out all of above and the 14lb weight gain (I'm now 144lb) is all bc of this device.  I'm constantly bloated.  My size 4 pants no longer fit my swollen and worn out body.  Beware!  Get it out!  You've been talked into this and likely don't need it!!!!"


"1/2 pill "recommended by pharmacist" works fine.  The 1 hour wait is often too much time to keep the mood going. "


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


"I started this medication to lose baby weight after two kids in five years. I am a 28 year old female that after pregnancy weighed 202lbs. I started ADIPEX 37.5 IN September 2011. It is November 13, 2011 and I have lost 30lbs. I weigh 172 and I still have 15-20 lbs pre-pregnancy weight. I have had dry mouth and upset stomach but nothing I can't deal with. I lost 30lbs in 10 weeks! That's amazing and insane. I also started a high protein and low carb diet. I have been working out 2-3 days a week at the gym. Stick with it people this medication works!"


"It is a good medicine. It brought my blood pressure down to where it should be.  However, I did experience weight gain.  This is evidence by the change of my medication to a different blood pressure medicine and losing 10 pounds in less than 3 weeks.  I have not changed my diet in anyway since switching."


"I have had severe eczema since I was a child. Therapies included the usual prednisone, topical creams  and testing for everything under the sun. Desperate and searching  online night after night for help, I came across the hospital a few years ago and began working with the doctor who led the groundbreaking eczema research to get this drug on the market. I knew within hours this drug was different---it was actually working! I am extremely lucky to have found medical tam and their research on Duplixent. I am now itch free and almost 100% clear; something I thought I'd never experience in my lifetime! God bless all the folks involved including the clinical trials. The future is exciting for eczema cases. I am very, very, very grateful."


"Several years ago I was thrown from a car and hit by a car and have had problems ever since and had xrays and "Congrates your back isn't broken" but I don't know what it is. For 6 years, everyday I would have to lay in the tub and the shower hit my back or lay on a heating pad and even at night just to fall asleep I use sleep aids and constant showers or heating pads to get the muscles to stop hurting and spasms and then I couldn't take it anymore. The muscle relaxers wouldn't work and my back and neck were burning and stiff and spasms all day and night and I couldn't sleep and went desperately to a my new doctor that I was seeing and got his associate. He saw me and recognized the fibromyalgia and placed me on Lyrica. I'm a true 26 year old again."


"I am prescribed 3 7.5/750mg Vicodin a day.  I have been on pain medication for nearly 3 years because I have several things wrong with me. I am a 25yo single mother of a 6yr old and live alone.  I can NOT take care of myself/house/child without crying in pain.  This medication takes the edge off but never takes my pain below a 5. "


"I saw the ad for Zecuity in a magazine a month or so ago.  The whole process to get the patches takes a long time, 3 weeks to a month or more.  I have migraines maybe every other month, but they can be severe with vomiting lasting two days not counting the migraine hangover afterwards.  I usually take narcotics and have Zofran for the nausea, but if I wake up with a full blown migraine the meds don't stay down even with the Zofran The patch is complicated to set up, but it worked.  Sunday I had a migraine, it didn't work as well and I have a raised red circular welt on my arm that itches like anything.  I am going to the doctor tomorrow so I'll check it out with him.  I hope it works better the next time."


"I'm giving it an 8 now because I've been only on it for less than a week but so far it's awesome. I've had this problem of excessive sweating for less than 2 years, it seemed to accelerate when I hit 40.  Plus I have a pretty stressful job and I have to give a lot of presentations.  I would only wear black on those days but I love bright colors so on the rare days I did wear red or yellow I would always get a lot of compliments.  Little did people know, I would be stuffing toilet paper or paper towels under my arms!  I told my dermatologist and he prescribed Drysol.  So far it's working wonders.  I visited Georgia for a few days and it was hot and humid but I wasn't sweating! "


"I only took this medication for the first month, but I refuse to continue with it. The first week everything was fine, but over the course of two weeks I've had extreme mood swings that just kept progressing to the point that I couldn't stand to be near my two year old. Every little thing she did set me off and that terrifies me because I've always had so much patience with her. I was having horrible vivid dreams and the last day I was on it I had been having suicidal ideations. I'd rather just risk getting pregnant than to risk feeling like that ever again."


"While this medicine seems to work well, it does have side effects. For me it is very easy bruising. I also had two cases of a broken blood vessels. The really scary part, however, is trying to stop. Do not go cold turkey.  I am now trying to ease off and am having anxiety attacks for hours."


"I have been taking 100mg of Savella per day for about 6 weeks. Many of the side effects have subsided at this point and my fibromyalgia pain is minimal. However, my anxiety and moodiness has only increased. I occasionally take clonazepam, but it's so sedating and addictive, I don't want to take more than the prescribed 1mg per day. The first time in 10 years I have had minimal pain, but the anxiety and agitation are crippling at times."


"I've had the shot for a little over 4 years now and I love it. Only spotted for the first 2 or 3 months then every once in awhile after that. It sucked while it was going on but it was definitely worth it. I haven't had a real period since the day I started, no cramps or any symptoms of that at all. Did gain about 25lbs. Within the first year that was the worst part about it, then I stopped gaining weight but no matter what I can't get the weight off at all. Noticed really bad migraines about 2 years into it. Don't if it has anything to do with it. Doctors don't have any idea why I get them but maybe that's why. Other than that I love it don't have to worry about it except once every 3 months."


"I've been on depo for about a year, and at first I absolutely loved it. No periods and no noticeable side effects at first. However, I started noticing frequent mood swings and often feelings depressed. On top of that, I have also had painful intercourse and my OBGYN says this is because of decreased estrogen levels which cause women to be less "wet" - which she said is very likely to be caused from the shot. I've also had serious trouble losing weight since I've been on the shot. Don't do it!!"


"Worked very well but only downfall some days made me super anxious and jittery. Overall cant wait to get back on it for some energy."


"I've been on this medication for a little over two months. These past two months have been a roller coaster with my skin. The first week, my skin cleared up. By the second week, everything got worse. There have been times where my skin was very tender and any face wash or lotion I used made my skin burn. It really sucks but it's been working for me. I've read other reviews and people said it's going to get worse before it gets better. I had horrible acne for a few weeks. I use it now day and night religiously. I only put it on the affected areas. This past week I haven't had one breakout. My advice is stick with it for at least a few months."


"I have been taking Sprintec for about one month. I switched off of YAZ which gave me intense mood swings, other than that I had no issues with YAZ, but it was expensive as well. My OBGYN put me on Sprintec. I have missed a pill twice and had to double up the next night, both nights I was up getting violently ill, for 10 hours. I've missed school because of this. I am going to wait 2 months and see if this stops, if not I will be switching. If I get an yeast infection this month I will not continue another month that's for sure."


"When I first started on minocycline (Akamin 50) It worked perfectly and cleared my severe cystic acne in weeks. But after being on it for 4 months I started getting side effects. Nausea which would make me gag and almost vomit, even from sipping on water. Vomiting, which got more severe as I stayed on the medication, I would vomit up to 3 times a week, and would randomly wake up in the middle of the night and instantly vomit. Severe diarrhea, which I would get every day. My skin started to fall off in large chunks, but only on the bottom of my feet. I started this medication when I was 16 (in October 2015) started getting side effects in February 2016, 4 months after starting it, and then finally stopped taking it when I was 18 (March 2017)"


"At age 9 I was put on a low dose ( 2 MG if i remember correctly ) and continued to take take until i was 16 1/2 (almost 17) having had most of my problems figured out and looking at trying to live without it. over those years I went from 2 MG a day to 5 MG a day, and then at its worst 7 MG a day. almost 19 now (and after having to get medical help for not being able to hit puberty (unrelated, we checked)) I am looking at taking it again to help with the stress of the work environment. (as a side note; I have a weird middle ground of Asperger's and High functioning autisim)"


"I've only been on Aviane for a month, and I absolutely hate it. I would not recommend this to anyone. I was taking Aubra before, but wanted to get out of Planned Parenthood. So I went to my family doctor, he gave me this. I have been depressed, have had bad mood swings, absolutely no sex drive, my breasts are very tender, and seem larger and I know I've gained weight. This will be my one and only month on it."


"The first time I used this medication it was great.  Just now I was prescribed Macrobid again. It took care of the bladder infection symptoms in two days.  Next day fever was l04, headache, Fever high only one day.  nausea, fatigue, high pulse (100), stomach pain, neck pain. muscle pain, lack of appetite. Stopped taking this med after 8 days and will never take it again."


"Reduced my blood pressure significantly. Side effects, dry cough and itching but no rash."


"I have Stage 3 CRPS/RSD. I have struggled with it for 6 years. It is now affecting my heart and lungs. Stage 2 is when it was noticed that it affected my mind. I have noticed while 300 mg tid (3xdaily) doesn't seem to help at all taking 900 mg bid (2xdaily) seemed to remove all my pain. However I have just started the process. I am concerned though as I read how many people don't seem to have the proper information on this lifetime disease that affect their lives. How many are aware there are stages? How many use compressions? Are you aware that it causes confusion, memory loss, high blood pressure,troubles breathing, nausea &, so much more? Do you know herbal methods like lemongrass oils can help neuropathy and headaches."


"Migraines started at age 50. Just about every day at 3PM. They were severe, but only lasted 2 - 3 hours. My eye area, cheek and ear were always sensitive to touch. Inderol was a life saver. 10mg twice a day. Sometimes I would feel slight pain behind my eye, but never needed pain reliever. The nightmares were something else, 3 -4 times a month.  I was actually afraid I would give my husband a heart  attack  when I would wake up screaming and thrashing at night. When I hadn't felt that pain behind my eye for about a year, I gradually went off Inderol (around 60 yrs old)."


"Absolutely no improvement after taking it for two months, with sporadic palpitations and arrhythmias that made my doctor discontinue it. Back to Solifenacin which is much better"


"This product does not work...instead I got pimples all over my chest, had terrible vivid nightmares , body ache and dry skin and lips. Was taking it for 2 months. Not even the slighest improvement."


"Before tri sprintec I was on ortho tri cyclen lo. With ortho lo I had no side effects, light periods, and no pms. I got my ortho lo from a  family planning clinic that offered it for free to teens with no income. Upon moving to a different state that had no such program, I got a prescription and opted for the generic equivalent--tri sprintec. At first everything was fine and I did not notice a difference. After the first month or so I began experiencing noticeable mood swings that would occur during any time of my cycle. I also noticed an increase in nausea and acne. Part of it was the pharmacy's fault for not giving me the proper supplement (tri sprintec lo) and throwing me on higher dose, but I'd rather just pay more for the ortho lo."


"I've struggled with bulimia (as well as depression/mood disorder) for about eight years now. I've been on Prozac three separate times (I quit taking it during my pregnancies) and I stop binging and purging every time I get back on it. It has also benefited my relationships and improved my parenting abilities. Every other medication I tried was just too hard on me, but Prozac doesn't affect me in any noticeably negative way."


"Severe persistent headache, for six hours after taking Sular. Increased blood pressure, within 3 days of administration. "


"I do not use Epiduo, but I am an esthetician, I read a lot of reviews and I just really needed to say this: BPO os extremely drying and irritating to almost anyone and SHOULD NOT be used daily if you no longer have the breakout! If you are experiencing dryness and redness, that is the BPO working, but once your breakout is dried out you should stop using Epiduo and switch to a Salicylic product so you are not stressing your skin and causing more damage than good! If you are especially sensitive to the BPO, maybe try it every other day until your breakout is cleared up. Okay I just had to share that info! Remember, you all are gorgeous, and positive thinking is like magic sometimes ;)"


"I have suffered with an acute gout attack for the first time and my doctor gave me Colcrys. I am nearly pain free in less than 24 hours. I wish I hadn't waited so long to go to the doctor."


"Missing hair on my hairline , been taking this for a month can't even put my hair in a pony tail without looking bald!!"


"I was diagnosed with IBS-C about a year and a half ago. No laxatives were working at all. I was first prescribed with linzess 145, that did nothing for me. Then my doc upped the dosage to 290. That helped a little more. Then he added Amatiza. I now have to take 2 Amatiza and a 290 for anything to happen for me. The bloating is insane and the water retention is unreal. Living my life constantly sick is no fun!"


"Thank you for this medicine! It works unbelievably well. I get mega cold sores they can take over my entire bottom lip. Not only are they embarrassing but also incredibly painful. This medicine works miracles. As soon as I feel that awful itch that indicates the cold sore coming through I take one of these pills and a second 12 hours later. They will either completely prevent the cold sore from coming through or at the very least minimize the appearance and speed up recovery time. Not only that, I used to get a cold sore at least every three months. Now I’m down to about every six months or so. This medicine has changed my life."


"Added this on along with my Cymbalta 60mg & Abilify 1mg. Took 150mg per day for 2 weeks until I realized I had major suicidal thoughts and ideation. Just out of nowhere. Immediately discontinued and felt better in 2-3 days. Beware of sudden mood changes please! The only good thing about this medicine is that it absolutely kills your appetite- lost 13lbs in 2 weeks. Not worth dying over though- sanity before vanity!"


"My brother of 42 yrs died of t - cell lymphoma from this drug. I am a healthcare professional. This web site will not let me post this bad review."


"36 y/o male and just had my first colonoscopy yesterday. Golytely sent me to the ER in June with serious dehydration so this time SuPrep was my doctor's choice. I recommend light meals (low fiber) 3 days before procedure; hydrate WELL on day of prep (I had close to 256 fl.oz. of Gatorade, water, coconut water, apple juice, etc.) before first dose (515pm). Action began 20-25 min later; the cleansing was fast! No butt irritation/pain at all (impressive) and no bloating/cramping. Action stopped about 3 hours later, then felt really sick and vomited violently but felt MUCH better. Called my Dr, who told me to lie down, drink some fluids and rest. Had to skip the second dose, slept well and had a successful procedure. Hydrate well and good luck!"


"I was on Seroquel from November of 2014 to September of 2015. This medicine, was terrible. By the end of me being on it I was up to 400mg. Before I started taking this medicine I was losing weight, and bam all the weight I lost came back. I was sleeping all the time, I didn't have the energy to do the things I loved. My mood swings were getting worse. I hated myself on it. it was awful."


"With my Fibromyalgia, I can finally get a nights sleep."


"I have moderate acne, I have used almost every single product, but not orally. Minocycline is the first kind of pill I have ever taken (I could never swallow pills, but finally I am able to). This is my 2nd day on minocycline and I already feel dizzy and tired. I also use adapalene along with minocycline. I have already started to see slight changes in my face."
