"I had a cervical laminectomy to remove a cyst that had grown and was encroaching in on a nerve.  I also had a 4mm subluxation of C7 over T1.  The surgeon removed the cyst, realigned my vertebrae and used instrumentation to hold the vertebrae in place.  Unfortunately, after the surgery, the most painful part was the pain in my arms.  I had taken Lyrica in the past for a very short time and it caused weight gain.  I kept the medication on hand because it was expensive.  After 2 trips back into the ER, the surgeon wanted me to take the Lyrica.  His RN said that I will know if it will work in 1 1/2 - 2 days.  She was right, thank God!  The pain decreased dramatically.  I'll deal with the weight gain later."


"I got the Implanon inserted in September 2011. So far so good, the only side effects I have had are headaches and cravings. I have not gain any weight because I work out at least three times a week. I was on my period when it was inserted so far no period yet. I did cramp as though it was trying to come. I'm a 43 year old women and tired of periods."


"I really hope this was going to work. My side affects were bad first a rash (very bad). Many creams and strong prescriptions we're given with little to no help but the worst was the heart damage. I had a mild heart attack the doctor felt strongly it was due to this medication this is only my experience I do not want to discourage anybody that it can help just be careful of all the signs"


"I have just recently started using Solodyn and have severe acne. I started seeing results very quickly. I am very happy with it."


"Stage 4 with lymph and bone bone metastasis. Never on infusion chemo due to my autonomic diabetic nerve damage. Hormone treatments failed. Tamoxifen gave me terrible forgetfulness.  Took Xeloda. At 6 months scan showed cancer gone except in giant ulcer on chest. Then Xeloda failed and cancer spread rapidly.  Affinitor worked quickly with visible changes in two weeks. Four weeks ulcer showing definitely better . Been about 5 months. Cat scan showed no cancer active. Ulcer a third smaller and still healing.  Cancer itching totally relieved although some iching as larger tumors heal. Had some nose slight bleeding issues early on but with summer humidity no problem. Chronic slight cough and congestion. Short of breath but can walk."


"I have a amputated left arm I have horrible nerve pain ,the doctor I just saw  started me on cymbalta I have only been on it a week and have not noticed any different yet how long does it take for it to work?"


"This medicine is just like a sugar pill it should be taken off the market it waste peoples money"


"At the risk of someone thinking I'm the "same person as other posters," I'm

Posting my real name. I've had a nagging cough, and chose to try Delsym again, as I've had success in the past with it.  I commute 30 miles to work. I got within a mile of my office and coughed.......and pooped all over myself. Yes. Explosive diarrhea in my scrubs! It was awful.  I'm sitting in the work parking lot,calling the girls outside since I can't move out of my car! Forward......I'm home but can't get more than twenty minutes away from a toilet. If you take this, trust me, you won't cough, just like it says, for 12 hours.  You'll be afraid to. Take something else, please. After all, it has been a terribly shi€€y day for me."


"I was prescribed Biaxin for bronchitis. I've taken three pills. I have an horrible taste in my mouth all the time along with severe dry mouth. My stomach is tossing and turning, making the loudest noises I've ever heard a stomach make! I haven't had problems with nausea/vomiting but the diarrhea from this is horrendous! On the second day of taking this I got this huge burst of energy and wanted to clean every inch of my house and rearrange each room! (sort of strange as I'm still coughing constantly and having a very hard time breathing) I'm also having trouble sleeping. I'm not sure that I will be taking anymore of these."


"Since I was put on 10mg =Valium 3x a day it has helped me get through work so much easier and takes away the anxiety and makes it all go away.  Currently I've been tapering and I'm now down to 0.5mg x2 a day.  I never thought I could wean off that easy but I'm doing just fine.  Nuvigil and Valium have changed my life completely!  I also take 15- Seroquel XR and Mirtazapine to help me sleep at night.  There's nothing like having a good feeling hard working day, then coming home to a hot shower and putting all my stress aside to just relax.  Valium has helped me do this, A LOT better than Ativan did."


"Just started Cymbalta at 30 mg one in the am and one in the pm for my Fibromayalgia pain and anxiety and depression. It's been 8 days and it is helping so much! It did give me nausea and an acidy stomach for 2 days. That went away. I also take Gabepentin 300 mg 4 times a day.
I came off of Tramadol 50 mg at 6-9 a day. Cymbalta helped with withdrawals for me. I still have pain from my fibro but it is dulled.
Hope this helps xx"


"OK im still on Sythyroid and my doctor will not listen to me.He told me to see an ob/gyn and they made me an appointment but i have to wait another two weeks and  my menstruation has gone crazy. Ive been bleeding since April 15 i stopped for 2 days and it started again. all my tests say im normal. i went to the er and they told me everything was fine! im so frustrated with this. No one will listen to me!! It takes 4-6 weeks to kick in i started this medicine in November ive had my dosage changed 3 times. this last time i went from .75 to .88 and exactly 6 weeks and one day my menstruation started early i thought that was just a slight bump but now its out of control! I know my own body i know it this medicine. im sensitive to medications"


"I have severe RLS Not only do I have terrible restlessness in my legs back and shoulders, but pains in my legs and back.
In the past I took gabapentin and tramadol which barely controlled the symptoms.
After taking one pill at 5pm I experienced 100% reduction of my symptoms. This has been a miracle drug for me.
It is basically a form of gabapentin which is absorbed and is available in the bloodstream.
Brilliant!"


"I have taken Norco 10/325 for the past 9 1/2 years. I have never increased my dose in that time and they have worked very well for me. I had reconstructive back surgery in January of 2000 and these do the trick. "


"I was way over weight I hated the way I looked  and the way I felt. Then I had a small stroke and I then found out that I also had type  2 diabetes. A few months later I had two heart attacks my doctor put me on metformin to help with my sugar but I started losing weight slowly.  I also started working out a little at a time. Now to date I have lost 92 pounds with in a year. Metformin may not work as well for you if you don't work out and go for walks but if you watch what you eat and how much slowly reduce the amount of food you eat go for walks and work out metformin will help , the first few weeks can be hard as your body adjust to it but that will pass. I feel great - I got my health back thank you metformin for the help !"


"I've had ParaGard since March of 2015 (it's now May 2016) and am looking to have it removed. Pros: It's hormone free (huge plus if you're a breastfeeding mom and dont want your milk supply to decrease). And the insertion process wasnt so bad. Some cramping afterwards and bleeding for quite a few days after. Cons: I constantly have discharge and have to wear pantiliners on a regular basis. And I'm not talking light discharge. It's thick, gooey and muscousy. I have gone to 2 different OBGYNs regarding this (to make sure I didnt have an infection) & both said it's a normal side effect. It seriously grosses me out & this is the main reason I am getting it taken out. My periods are also heavy and last 7-10 days. Its awful! Time for a new BC."


"Within 24 hours of beginning the medication my urinary tract pain was noticeably better. I had lots of anxiousness & trouble sleeping though. This could be because I took the medication about 1 hour before dinner every night. Thanks for the helpful site."


"I started Buspar because I was having anxiety with the horrendous pain from gallbladder attacks. I started out at 7.5 for three days and then was supposed to advance to 15 mg.  During the week of starting this, I had to have an emergency surgery for my gallbladder.  When I was finally able to take this consistently, I found that I suffered from insomnia, felt restless and nervous, dizzy, and down right horrible. I have taken it less than a week and I have an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow.  If I stop taking this, will I have withdrawal symptoms?  Or should I do this gradually?  My gallbladder symptoms are gone and my body feels great after the surgery.  Any suggestions?"


"I've been on Saxenda for just over a month. Initially, I had to really push through the side effects. It does help with appetite control and feeling full quicker. As for weight loss, only a few pounds which is disappointing. I'm also getting swelling and redness at the injection site now."


"I have been taking Ocella for about a year now.  It has controlled my breakthrough bleeding, but the last few months I've been experiencing EXTREME mood swings, depression, anxiety, anger/rage... I don't know myself.  Friends/Family notice too.  I am stopping this pill today.  I have a call in to my OB.  I feel like I'm going crazy!"


"I have recently taken my third round of Stromectol for a skin condition that I describe as 'worms beneath the skin'.  My dermatologist prefers to call my condition, 'V's rash'. I am using Stromectol with a daily dose of 200mg doxycycline.  Yes, it does make me nauseous, but worth it. Stromectol has worked the best this third time. I begin my second phase today, as I began the third course two weeks ago. I've had no 'activity' in the skin since the third round began. Hope this last dose helps these. "


"Fantastic drug significantly reduce my sugar level by taking medicine and diet , I lost almost 10kg in 8 weeks of time only issue is frequent urination."


"I wrote a few days ago on 11/13/15. I finally started feeling an increase in my mood over the weekend! It is still very early on, and I am only on Latuda 40mg, but this has left me feeling very optimistic! I got out of bed a little easier today, and when I got to work I had lots of energy. One of my friends texted me and I actually felt excited to text him back (most of my friends know that I'm hard to get a hold of since I've been so isolating). It's still early in the morning as I write this, and my depression tends to get worse toward the end of the work day since I don't know exactly what I will do with myself once I get home for the day, but I am feeling better and I can only hope things continue in this direction!"


"I'm 32 years old and just recently had to stop taking Letaris after two years because of liver issues. No medication compares to Letaris, it was a miracle for my pulmonary hypertension. I wish I could still take it."


"Its the only Corticosteroid that dosen't give me thrush! I've stayed on this one...."


"I've tried 5 different birth control pills before trying the Depo-Provera. There's no estrogen, so I don't get moody or sensitive. I also didn't gain any weight at all and was able to go back down to my normal body weight that I was prior to taking the pill version of birth control. The only side effect I feel is a little bit of soreness in my hip after the injection, but that's to be expected. The one complaint I have is that you're only able to stay on it for 3 years. I'd stay on it until I wanted to be pregnant if they would let me."


"I was prescribed 5mg amplodipine for bp, and it seems to be absolutely fine, one amazing side effect which is a godsend to me is that I had suffered migraine or cluster headaches for over 20 years and they miraculously all but disappeared. Wonderful!"


"This was the most incredible pill. It entirely changed my life. I used to be so scared of failure and it used to effect my income and job performance. I used to have really bad anxiety and it used to effect my sleep pretty badly. The first month and a half were pretty brutal on Lexapro but after that it immediately began working. I no longer suffer from anxiety. I sleep extremely well. I can multi task now and I don't worry about things like I used to and my fear of failure is long gone. I was like you, reading this review, thinking that they must be fake. But I said what the hell and decided to book an appointment with my psychiatrist. My life has never been better since!"


"It happens. During my fertile time with ZERO contraceptives. Took Plan B 43 hours later. Got my period 7 days later for 5 days, then again 9 days later. But hey, I'm not pregnant! It works. No side effects for me other than a light headache 1 hour after taking the pill that lasted a few hours."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Took GaviLyte-N and had no problems getting the first half down but then had a terrible red rash all over my body. Got up the next morning and tried second half and could not keep any of it down. Tried 6 times and it always came up. I will never do this again."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I started Stribild on 06/26/13 with a viral load of 272,000 and my CD4 count at 252. Yesterday I had my follow up with my Doctor and got the results from the blood test taken on 07/15/13. After just 20 days my viral load went down to 550 and the CD4 went up to 394. The only side effect I experienced was a mild headache for the first couple of days. I am very happy with the results and feel very grateful to have this medicine available to me."


"For the first 3 months I experienced terrible cramps and extremely heavy bleeding but then again, before I started taking this BC, I was on my period for a month straight with terrible cramps and heavy bleeding as well. This BC does a good job regulating my period and around month 4, bleeding was a bit lighter and cramping was not apparent at all. I am now on month 5 and I have been breaking out more- lot of icky whiteheads on my cheeks not sure if its cause of the BC, but my period is extremely light and I have no cramps whatsoever. At first I hated Estarylla but now I adore it cause my body just had to adjust after 4 years of abnormal menstrual cycles and menorrhagia."


"Savella has changed my life! I'm 23 years old & was diagnosed with Fibro when I was 15 and no one had ever really even heard of the disease at that time. I had extreme pain 24 hours a day. Some days I couldn't walk because of the pain in my hips or lift my arms because of the pain in my shoulders. Savella has helped me to do everyday things again. I still have small pain when it gets cold, but other than that, the pain is pretty much gone. At the beginning, I had small stomach aches, and was slightly constipated, but that has since passed over the 3 months I have been on it. The only side effect I still have is I sweat when I sleep. It's not a lot, I just never used to before. But I will take those small side effects for the comfort I now have!"


"I have been on this for quite some time for pain. After I had my gallbladder out, in 2007, I started having constant pain in my right side that feels like a side cramp that you get after running. Anyway...Ultram (Tramadol) has worked the best of everything the doctor has had me try. It gets rid of a lot of the pain and I've had no side effects."


"I have been taking spironolactone for about 4 months now. My skin is clearer and I have much fewer breakouts.

When I first started taking it I had pretty bad orthostatic hypotension, I experienced excessive urinating (mainly right after I took the medication). My acne got worse and it took at least a month for my face to improve. My breast continues to be sore, I am lightheaded still, and I have lost weight. Mind you, I was loosing weight before I started to take this medication. I have noticed that my skin is really dry and becoming more wrinkles (although I'm only 21 so not that wrinkly). My skin has also been itchy but not sure if that is only related to the dryness. This medicine works for acne but there are definite side effects."


"I've been on Lutera about a year and 3 months, and I love it. Clear skin, no weight gain but I lost some, no mood swings, no cramps, no tender breasts, no pregnancies. I had heavy 7 days periods now I have light 5 day periods which is awesome."


"Before trying Bactrim, I had attempted a number of treatments. The last I had tried before it was Accutane, which I took for 5 months and which benefited me only for a short while. After my acne returned, my dermatologist suggested I try something different, and gave me a prescription for Bactrim. I was so happy as I didn't break out when I started it and it had cleared the acne from my face for an entire year.

This month however the acne returned and it couldn't have done so at a worse time - I have planned a 2 month trip to South America with a group of friends. I can no longer rely on Bactrim and will need to find an alternative (I feel like I've tried every 'solution' there is)."


"I was put on latuda 20 several months ago. It made my insomnia worse, increased my racing thoughts and I felt like I was in a constant state of panic. After discussing all of this with the doctor, she doubled the dosage. After 2 weeks with maybe an hour of sleep a night, no appetite, a constant racing mind, and disabling panic, I sought the advice of my PCP. He has been treating me for more than 10 years now and ordered me to immediately discontinue it. I'm not completely cured by any means but the excessive symptoms are much more tolerable and I can usually sleep now."


"I absolutely love my ParaGard IUD choice.  It has been the best choice for me in terms of birth control as hormonal birth control was not something that I wanted to be on any longer.  I did not find insertion painful, more like a heavy period cramp that lasted 10-20 seconds.  I had light cramping with my periods prior to the IUD insertion and my cramping has not changed significantly at all.  My cycle is slightly longer. The first few months were tender and I did have some increased cramping initially but it returned to my normal within a few months.  I also experienced a pH change in the first few months resulting in a vaginal infection.  This went away after my body adjusted to the IUD.  Since then, it has been such a great choice!"


"I am only on my second month of this medicine.  My experience so far, the medicine is easy to to swallow it's a small white pill. The dosage is all the same so if I get a day ahead ( take tuesdays pill instead of Mondays)  I am still putting the correct dose in my body. I have always had terrible periods lasting up to 7-9 days .with several very heavy days.  Not this time, my period was what I would call normal lasting 4 days only with one day heavier than others. My mood was a little out of whack at first.. but seems to have leveled out. Pimples so far seem about the same.. I still get some.  Normally I would have super cravings, didn't seem to have them when I started my period.  I had no break thru bleeding."


"I have been on Lyrica for a little over a year now. My doctor started me on it as soon as it was approved. At first, with the smaller dosage it did nothing. Now I take 225mg in the morning and another 225mg at bedtime. It has helped me sleep at night a little better but other than that, I haven't had the relief as some have described here. It's frustrating to say the least. Considering the fact that I am also on Xanax, Clonazepam, Hydrocodone, Tramadol, Trazadone and Savella. Some I only take 1 x per day, others 3 x per day and a couple 2x per day. Lyrica was added after Tramadol. I had no side effects from it and it did not interfere with the other medicines that I am on. I was losing weight easily before, but now it is a bit harder. I'm staying on it."


"When I first started taking Beyaz it was great. I had no problems but towards the end of the cycle I had terrible attitude, was very emotional, nauseous and too many headaches. Once my period was gone it came back a day after and it was light to medium. Very bad cramps. My appetite increased a lot more when I started. But everyone's body is different and would react different to the pills."


"I had the copper IUD for 3.5 months. My periods went from 2-3 days and super light (I never even need to wear tampons and sometimes barely liners) to 7-9 day periods that were heavy. I would feel contractions closer to my period (in addition to cramps). The pain with this IUD was unbearable. Anytime I stretched, moved, had sex, etc I could feel it. I had it checked at the hospital and was told it was in the right place. I got several infections (bladder infection/UTI and 3 yeast infections) all within this timeframe. I had constant back pain. If I went to the bathroom, it would hurt to pee or when I pushed. Once removed, I had instant relief and problems went away almost immediately. Oh and a seizure after insertion."


"I am a 29-year old female, 5'2" with a starting weight of 202 lbs. My doctor prescribed Contrave about a month ago and I have lost 13 lbs within that time frame. This medication has greatly reduced my appetite and I feel like a lot of my cravings have been suppressed, especially for sweets. I am also taking this medication to help with BED and am happy to report I have had no binges since I started this medication. The need to binge has completely disappeared. I have experienced some side effects, such as dry mouth and light-headedness, but these effects have been pretty mild. I felt very nauseated for the first time today, and I'm honestly not sure if the nausea was related to Contrave or something else (since it has not happened before)."


"I would rate this a negative 1000000 if I could! It was horrible. I bought the Monistat 7 day treatment and it was the worst burning feeling ever. I would rather just take the yeast infection over that stuff! I would never recommend this to anyone. I want my $16 back for sure!"


"please be cautious before taking cymbalta.
I took cymbalta for 20 months, then decided to quit after changing my lifestyle. After discontinuing my perscription of 60mgs a day I endured brain zaps, insomnia, and eye pain for 3 weeks."


"You can take it during any anxiety issue within 20mins I noticed the difference it made. In seven yrs I've been able to do so much more. I would call it the miracle pill."


"I had cystic acne after I got off of depo birth control and I hadn't realized it was due to the extreme drop of estrogen in my body. So I figured I'd try to get back on birth control but try a different one. So I am now on loestrin! My acne cleared up within a month and I only get a couple pimples here and there but my skin is finally smooth! I would advise also to get a good face wash with exfoliate in it! I swear I thought it wasn't going to work but it did! Feeling much more confident."


"finally, one doctor diagnosed me with irritable bowel syndrome and prescribed me bentyl (dicyclomine) 10mg. now when i have an attack i take one of these and within 30 minutes and a heating pad on my stomach, the pain goes from a 10 down to about a 1. the only downside is that it makes me feel stoned and high like a smoked about 5 joints, i feel very confused and very tired. but all in all it works very good for the pain"


"29 year old healthy guy here. Taking Prozac 10MG and 0.50 Xanax Extended Release for the past 6 months. I'm posting to support the people who feel they will never be free of panic/anxiety. I now feel 90% better! I was having mid the night panic attacks and weird/scary intrusive thoughts. I went to the psychiatrist that had the best Google reviews that took my insurance. Was diagnosed with Panic Disorder and mild OCD. Originally tried Prozac at a higher dose, but it made me sleepy and made me feel sweaty/hot often. Xanax XR was also added. It has worked very well in combo. I take both nightly at bed so I have a peaceful deep sleep. Prozac took about 2-3 months to really sink in to my system. You CAN feel better. Get a caring/good doctor!"


"Was given after tonsillectomy a few months ago! Not sure if any pain medicine could cut the intensity of that but I felt like it was mediocre. Better than nothing, though!"


"Took 4 hours to work on first litre of Moviprep...was up all night"


"I would never recommend this birth control option ! I have been using it since January 2017 and till now which is March and I have had the worst emotional side affects severe depression and anxiety. I went to ER to get anxiety medicine to try to control this crazy mood changes. I immediately scheduled an appointment to get this removed . I haven't had an appetite and have felt like I couldn't work and focus because of the side affects. Please take this seriously I have lived the worst week of my life battling this thinking something was wrong . But looking at all the similar reviews I trust that it's this birth control . Take care of your body and be healthy and make sure you read before you take something ."


"I have used MX-2 for 1 year . my hair volume increased,. when i stopped using solution my hair again started falling and my hair line is going back,no use using all dat stuff"


"I just feel the need to express how well I've been feeling with this change. Started a month ago with 20 mg. This week I upped the dose to 40 mg, my OCD comes and goes, it just doesn't bother me anymore, feeling free of those useless ruminations. Let me honestly tell you, sertraline was good, then but this medicine is just great, feeling better results and gives me sort of more activating feeling and motivation. I'll stick with it for a while with this dose. There is hope for OCD, please don't give up, there are lot options out there, God bless all of you."


"I was first prescribed these tablets last year but didn't make a proper go of it, I had post natal depression and a baby who never slept, so healthy eating and exercise felt impossible. I'm now heavier than before I was pregnant (I weigh 20 st ) and feel strong enough to make a proper attempt to shift the weight. I am eating 1600 cals per day and walking uphill for 45 mins a day. The side effects are awful (never ever assume its just a fart!!) but I'd rather the fat was in the loo than adding pounds to my body - sorry to be so explicit . I've been doing this for 2 weeks now and starting to feel the difference. I have a phobia of scales so going to wait til my monthly doctor appointment to see the weight coming off. I'll update again."


"Worked well in the management of pain from carpal tunnel surgery. The two side affects that I have are restlessness when trying sleep on the first day taking it. Second is constipation."


"Most people that are complaining that they got acne using it are most most likely in their first/second month of using it. I'm almost at my fifth month of taking Microgestin and I rarely break out now. I've definitely been noticing that my skin looks better. Also, I have been weighing myself and have not gained weight from it. My advice is, just keep on taking it because most symptoms (mainly the acne part) gets worse before it gets better."


"My GP prescribed Neurontin to treat pain from PHN, increasing to 1800mg per day. After 6 weeks I find it does reduce pain to some extent and I am able to get a reasonable sleep. Side effects include ringing in ears and tingling in feet and hands, but I can put up with this.
 I was previously taking Lyrica but experienced very nasty side effects and had  to be weaned off it."


"I've been on this for two weeks. When I first started at 10 I had some digestive trouble, nothing bad, and I had some lethargy and brain fuzziness. By day three I noticed my anxiety increasing and constant dull headaches. Day 5 I felt better. Day 7 I got nausea and slight diarrhea. Days 8, 9, 10 I was physically better but more easily agitated. Day twelve bad nausea and diarrhea for 10 hrs. No pill today, just not for me. Still have the headaches through out!"


"I took this pill for approximately 5 days and I completely broke out into acne like all over my body face, chest, back and arms... and I've never had acne in my life. I feel like I am a 13 year old child going through puberty when I am 26! I never had any issues on minastrin and was put on taytulla because minastrin became very expensive.  I got horrible fatigue, neck pain, and acne from this medication. Needless to say I will never be taking it AGAIN."


"Have one 4mm stone hung up between the kidney and bladder and another 5mm stone in the kidney. Have been on Flowmax for a month and while it has helped me to urinate more, the stone seems stuck. I am not happy with the side effects: stuffy nose, feeling dizzy and just off, also seems to cause some water retention. Would love to have the positive results other users have had but so far, no luck passing the stone."


"Works great. Taste okay through the first 8 ounces then it gets harder and harder to drink. Best way to describe the taste is it taste like lemon pledge."


"I did the three injections and got less relief than the cortisone injections I had.  Plus the shots are expensive even with insurance."


"Spotting for the first 3 weeks and now it's all normal, plus my sex drive has gone through the roof!"


"I have been using implanon, now nexplanon for 5 years now. (3 years each) this is my second insertion after my first was expired. Since then I haven't had my period in ages. However, my appetite had taken full control and weight gain came along. Sex drive has slowed down and mood swings here and there. So yeah things u will have to work on. Still..no pregnancy at all and no periods. Its like an extended vacation from mother nature"


"My neurologist put me on Norco for cluster migraine headache combination.  I was very impressed, it is the first medication that has taken the chronic pain away.  The only other medicine that kept the pain away was Morphine.  I worry about addiction, but I don't have a problem with not taking it if I don't need it.  After five months of no relief from these headaches I am so happy to have found something that works."


"I tried Adipex about a year ago and in the first month I lost 20 lbs! I went to the gym about 3 days a week, and I was on a 1200 calorie limitation from my doctor. I drank mostly water(added the flavor packets for taste). Unfortunately I feel off of the Adipex wagon only after a month. I not only gained all of my weight back, but I gained 15 more pounds on top of that due to a lot of fast food. I just started back on Adipex 2 days ago and already I have lost 3 lbs!"


"been on zolpidem for 10yrs.  Tolerance was so high it became ineffective.  started w/25mg. and kept getting up after about 3-4hrs (half life).   titrated to 50mg for 6 days and still not much better.  went to 75mg and moved time taken from 8:30pm to 9:30 and now when I do get up, I am falling back to sleep quickly.  I have found one needs to give these meds time to work."


"I'm just trying Trinessa for the first time and I absolutely hate it. Every day there's a point to where I'm very nauseated. . Feel depressed and just so sick.. yeah it shortened my period by 2 days but I just hate feeling like this everyday...it may work well for others...just my experience."


Acetaminophen / caffeine / isometheptene mucate

"I was given MigraTen by my OB-Gyn for ongoing, severe headaches.  A dose and a half knocks the headache pain away.  However, I do experience nervous energy for a while after taking the dose so I have lost a couple of nights sleep.  It's worth it to me to get rid of the pain."


"I had very sudden onset post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and psychotic depression. What absolute hell I was going through for a good 18 months of doctors experimenting with different medicines on me. All the other antipsychotics had bad effects on me and made my depression worse. My last admission to hospital was for my own safety and as a last ditch effort when I was suicidal my psychiatrist thought we'd try Saphris. Within 4 days I noticed a complete change for the better. It helps me sleep but I suspect it also takes away a bit of my drive to exercise which I hate because I used to work in the fitness industry. I do take 2 other medicines so it could be the combination. Generally a positive experience with this medication."


"I had been using gabapentin sucessfully for almost ten yrs for restless legs. I thought I should take a break and gradually reduced my regular dosage of 1500/day  down to zero. What a mistake! I reverted to waking up every two hrs with leg pain, joint pain, and a floating depression. Needless to say, I'm back on the gabapentin."


"So far so good I got it put in May 28th. I did have slight headache last night. I don't know if it's from the birth control or not but I honestly think I lost 3 pounds since I've been on it. I love it."


"Only saw results for the first couple of months."


"I had Implanon implanted August 2009. It was great until April 2011. I started getting my period not once but twice a month. The second is short. The first is full blown. I am a wreck the week before I start with super sore breasts (felt like I was pregnant) and horrible mood swings. The bleeding is terrible. Plus very unpredictable."


"I urge anyone to start on the smallest dose as I was pleasantly surprised that a tiny nibble of 2mg worked amazingly quick and helped curtail a full blown attack.  I have taken a full 2 mg at once when panic attack was at worst. I simply fell asleep and awoke with same anxiety.  If I take the small dose as I feel the attack coming on, it just stops. I know everyone is different but I have always been within the mindset that the stronger the better with meds. That has not been the case with Zanax for me. I also keep in mind this is a med that your body will eventually need more of for equal benefit.  It's a miracle med for those who have unexplained fear. It has saved my marriage!"


"I've been on Qvar 40 for 4 years because of drastically out of control asthma. It works great for controlling the asthma but it aggravates a heart condition that I have- PVC- so I'm unable to use it as prescribed. Instead of twice a day I use it once every other day. About 2 months ago I ran out and couldn't afford to get to the doctor for a new prescription so I just went without it. My breathing got so bad that I felt like I was living on my rescue inhaler. Just finally got my new prescription today and after one use I'm already feeling better.

The only downside to this medication is the cost and since I don't have insurance it's all out of pocket. "


"Friday 2-10-17 I was rushed by ambulance due to respiratory acidosis. I was intubated and stayed in ICU because I took xanex, baclofen, Oxycodone, and clonazepam in conjunction with Geodon. It says do not mix this medicine with those medicines. I did exactly what the Dr told me to do. You have to do your own homework. Be safe."


"This was much easier than expected. First I went on low fiber diet two days before taking it. One day (from mednight ) before procedure I went on clear liquid diet with no solid food. Then took GL at about 6 PM. No reaction until seventh 8 ounce glass of GL. Then it did the job it's designed to do. No pains or cramps. The solution was cold and I got each glass down as fast as comfortably possible. Taste? I didn't notice anything bad about it and did not add any flavoring. It's like drinking a lot of water. Maybe they should have a beer flavor to make it go down even easier."


"I took this pill around 5:30 pm and It's 11:17 and I'm usually sleep by this time . keeps you up all night, makes you jittery, and it has you feeling like you're drunk. I hate the way I felt and it worsen the way my sinus felt. also I've experienced the heart racing and the weird dreams and blabbing off at the month. this product should be off the market"


"Paroxetine worked absolute wonders for me when I first started the paroxetine 6 years ago.  My mood elevated so high to the point of work colleagues questioning my 'nightclub activities'. The 'serotonin high' also made me aggressively confident and involved a few flashpoints including a physical fight- my first for 15 years. While it worked it was GREAT.  However, it lost it's efficacy suddenly a few months ago and I was prescribed sertraline/Zoloft which was a disaster.  Headaches, Nausea and insomnia was my bodies reaction to this medicine.  Have now been put on citalopram and hoping this will be effective.  My doctor suggested I may try paroxetine again if I don't respond to citalopram."


"Don't let all the negative comments scare you away, bad experience are much more likey to reported than good, everyone's body will react in their own unique way, and this is a great product if it works well with your body.

Due to a family history of breast cancer I was given the choice between mirena and implanon which do not rely on estrogen. I have never had children so while the measuring of my uterus and placement of the IUD were near painless, the 2-3 days after were full of sever cramping. Before Mirena I had fairly heavy periods and these slowly became occasional spotting. I've had this for 4.5 years with no side effects that I've read about on here and I still have middle pain and all the symptoms of a period without the mess."


"I started on Savella in July.  Have been on it for 4 months.  I have had such bad hot flashes 24 hours a day. Does not decrease.  Head aches severe constipation, which I have never had in my life.  Dizziness memory loss irratability the worst is severe high blood pressure. When I realized it was from the Savella I went off of it.  My blood pressure is coming down.  The pain is tollerable.  Do not take this medication if you do not have to.  It was weird how I found out the high blood pressure.  I went to 3 different doctors for different things.  They all asked me if I had high blood pressure. I didn't. So I drove to my PCP.  He immediately put me on medication it was so high.  Within stroke zone.   Please check your blood pressure."


"I tend to suffer regular bouts of constipation and have found that Miralax and other powder-based laxatives have had little effect.  I decided to give Dulcolax a shot while on a trip as it was very uncomfortable to be so bloated while doing some strenuous activities.  I took three tablets (I'm 6'5" 250 lbs and usually take max dose) on Friday at 7PM.  Between HORRIBLE cramps, chills, cold sweets, weakness, and constant runs, I felt like I had taken the pill-form of food poisoning.  It is now Monday at 11 AM and I am still unable to eat anything without it going straight through me.  This is not worth it, and Dulcolax should not be advising people to EVER take three of these.  Awful experience."


"If you're considering using this I wouldn't recommend it. On the first week of using this I would find myself hysterically crying on the bathroom floor at night. I got really depressed while on it on the first week. On the second week literally on the 10th day of using this I got hives. I didn't stop using it hoping it would just go away. Wrong. It got so bad I was hospitalized for it"


"I have been on Lyza for 6 months. I got my period the first month after beginning, and have not seen it since. I was not having any side effects until recently I have been having very tender breasts, mood swings, and bloating. I have taken two home pregnancy tests and both came up negative. I have gained 5 pounds since beginning Lyza and I do like it, but not menstruating is scary, especially when other symptoms begin to show up, similar to pregnancy side effects."


"My husband has had the worst cough for over a week, took Tessalon Perles, after 2 doses got his first full nights sleep. No cough."


"I have taken Zoloft since I was 21 years old. I'm now 36. I've struggled with anxiety since late in high school.  Zoloft is not the 100% answer to anxiety, but it does help. When I use it consistently it helps with anxiety attacks, helps your mind from wondering about the meaningless things around you that would normally start you on the path to another anxiety attack. If you choose to seek medical advice about taking Zoloft make sure you continuously stay on it. In my experience at times when I've forgotten, my prescription ran out and I don't have it I've found I'm OK for 3-4 days. After several days I notice a strange dizzy spell of sorts, a pulsing in my ears, to where I just want to lie down. I'm sure it's just an imbalance in my body."


"Literally a miracle. Panic attacks were getting progressively worse when public speaking. Job was requiring more speaking. Xanax had no effect other than to put me to sleep. Internist suggested propranolol. I had low expectations because the attacks had become so severe. I tried 20 mg at home on a Sunday. On Monday, I did a small presentation with no problem. On Wednesday, I gave a talk to 200 people (took 40mg 1 hour before) and had no problem-even had fun. So happy, such a relief. Highly recommend it."


"Try it.  If you get depressed, sad, etc, then stop taking it.  It is so worth it.  Life is so much more free and easy.  I am now pregnant (quit before we started trying) and can't imagine now having to quit without Chantix.  It's the crutch you need and it gets easier with each day and week that passes."


"I've been on Necon 1/35 since 2006 without a break. Prior to this, I was on a different pill, preceded by the patch. It was a savior for me. My periods had been still so bad, that my doctor was on her last straw. If this pill didn't work, I was getting the shot. I would bleed through EVERYTHING despite having been on BC for a few years to treat my menstrual issues. With Necon, I've never had a single bad side effect in the 9+ years I've been on it, and my periods to this day really only last 24-36 hours, and then it's basically just spotting for 12-24 hours thereafter. The only reason I'm switching to another form of BC is because I'm tired of having to think about taking it every day."


"After trying many other anticonvulsants we finally found one that works! Thank you soo much to those who invented this drug. My daughter 8 year old used to have gezillion seizures and drop attacks in a day. Now she has none! Yup! 0 attacks. She is seizure free for a year now."


"I used this ONE TIME before sleeping. I put on moisturizer about 5 times the next day, and my face still hurt. Today is the second day after using this product, and my face still hurts, is red, and is puffy after applying moisturizer another five times today. I don't think its supposed to hurt this bad, even if there is a purging process. I would not recommend this product."


"This drug was effective for me. I went through a bout of severe anxiety and panic for about 3 weeks. I lost 25 pounds and did not eat much of anything for 2 weeks. As a result, my digestive system basically shut down. When I began to eat again, I did not have a bowel movement for 15 days. I took a Dulcolax pill and had extreme cramping, dry heaving, full body sweats, and painful bowel movements where I needed to be close to a toilet all day. I went another 8 days without using the bathroom and I tried Miralax. I only took 1/4 of the dosage and within a day I had 3 bowel movements. I did have some minor cramping and I did sense an urgency to go and could not have held it, but it produced soft movements, not explosive painful ones."


"I quit the pill five years ago after years of gross side effects, and just followed a fertility chart up until end of 2014, when I got pregnant.  We decided to use condoms after my child's birth, but I've never cared for them.  My doctor encouraged me to get an IUD, but the very thought of it horrified me.  After a year of mulling it over and dealing with very heavy periods, I decided to go for it and try Mirena.  I had it placed today, and I feel great.  Absolutely no part of it hurt until the doctor had to stabilize my cervix.  That part was awful - it felt like dilation during labor.  I breathed through it and stayed as relaxed as I could.  That part was about a minute long, and as soon as she unclamped the cervix, I felt completely fine."


"Don't even bother stressing yourself out like I did, because Plan B actually works. On June 25th I had unprotected sex with my bf and on that day I was ovulating and my bf wasn't wearing condoms and I wasn't on birth control pills. I know this is TMI, but he "came"/finished inside me. So, 2 hours later I started to get paranoid and decided to take Plan B. Well let me tell you this I received so many pregnancy symptoms such as: Sore breast, headaches, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, frequent urination,back pains, and cramping. The side effects will have you going insane. The scary part is that a week before my period was due I saw brown discharge and I automatically assumed that it was implantation bleeding. Next following week my period came."


"This is the second Mirena that I have had put in and I love it. The insertion was very painful and I had some cramping for few days, then nothing. I have not had a period in 7yrs, no break through bleeding/cramping/spotting. I also have not noticed any significant weight gain like some people do with certain birth controls. Removing the first one after 5yrs was also a piece of cake not nearly as painful as putting it in!! I love it!! Probably will put another one in(which would make 3) if I still need it by then I'm 43 not sure what the rules are about age and the the max amount of yrs you can have this."


"This mediicne was given to me as I was being taken off an antidepressant and has given me headaches, nausea, joint pain, and feeling of not being fully alert.  I was started at a 1500mg daily dose and I think that is way too high for me.  I have been at this dose for over three months and the doctors seem to think that the side effects are outweighed by the positives.  I have felt more depressed since they put me on this but they don%u2019t worry about that it. I would rather have the antidepressants back at least, I could be a human with them."


"I've been on this birth control for about 6 months. At first I had rapid weight loss. But in the past few months I've retained several pounds of water weight. No issues with mood changes, or loss of sex drive. My period comes every Thursday of the week of the blue pills. It lasts till usually Saturday night. I've yet to get pregnant so besides these small side effects I would deffintly recommend this birth control. My skin has never been better, it's no longer oily,  and I only break out the week of my period."


"I was prescribed propranolol 4 years ago and was on 160mg daily for around a year and it worked straight away. Took away the racing heart and trembling hands and made me feel normal, after around 6 months I started to feel light headed and dizzy and was moved down to 80mg daily which I was on for around 2 years, when I felt I was on better control of my panic attacks I started to titrate down the propranolol as you are not allowed to just stop taking it and this is the downside, as when my panic attacks where under control, I was starting to get a racing heart and trembling again as the doctors where trying to get my titration rate sorted out and I was moved down too quickly. It took 18 months to do this which was the downside."


"Poisoned me - Do NOT take it! Made me very sick and I felt almost dead !  Military only use it to replace other meds Made me vomit and pass out ! Trust me 4 weeks in and it is only worse. 3/12/17"


"Works great but you need to take it on time."


"Took two tablets and I swear it’s the worst cramps I’ve ever experienced. It works quick within 3-4 hours but the pain is just uncomforting. Be prepared to spend your time in the restroom."


"I've had moderate to severe joint pain for 6 years, now.  I was given Propoxy for my back pain, but it didn't take away the joint pain. I was given oxycodone to try, and no more joint pain. I can't take propoxy and oxycodone at the same time, which would make me completely pain free! I have degenerative joint and disk disease, osteoporosis in left hip due to SI joint arthritis, sciatica and depression.  I take only a half of Oxycodone."


"Hi

I recently got diagnosed with BV and the medicine was awful. I usually get rid of infections naturally but this time I tried the medicine. The medicine made me very nauseous and I had horrible diarrhea.  Even after taking the medicine I still have diarrhea and I can still taste the medicine in my mouth .  I stopped taking the medicine because of the side effects . Next time I will be trying the gel. Thanks for listening.  I hoped  I hope someone with my experience :) ...."


"I love my Mirena. I had my mine put in about 4 months ago and I think its great. I just had a little cramping the week after having it put in. My period was very short and now I don't have a period at all. After reading a few of the reviews it sounds like only the people who had bad experiences are posting. I love mine and think its great."


"cymbalta mase me vomit I took 2 at 30 mg 2 days in a row thesame vomiting was given samples by my doctor not sure what I should do I take lyrica does not help take 300mg a day thank u would love feed back on this"


"I have been on various nasal sprays and antihistamines every spring and fall for years.  I kept getting sinus infections, severe sore throats and having problems with my ears.  Nothing was very effective until my doctor prescribed Astelin.  It has been wonderful!  The bitter taste I get if when I sniff too hard is well worth the relief it gives me."


"I have been on Yasmin for about 3 years. For the first year, there was little to no weight gain. Second year I found my appetite was never satisfied with whatever I ate. I could just keep eating and eating if it tasted good. Not sure if that was my fault or if it was the pill. Now, as for year three, experiencing severe depression I cry for no reason and it will be all day and I can't stop. I have started spotting and almost getting a full on period the week before my period. I gave it a 7 because it has been pretty good to me other than these things to be able to stay on it for 3 years, but I think if you're on it for too long it can have some bad side effects. It was AWESOME for the first year or so."


"Ok so I was really bad depressed so I decided one day to the  GP. He gave me citalopram oh no so wrong for me!!! Then been given sertraline it worked wonders. Took them for 2 yrs till I was told off to stop! Big mistake as soon as I stopped 4 months after I begged my GP yesterday to put me back on them so starting them today"


"Take with care if you suffer from focal migraines - instantly brought on an attack for me. Stopped the meds straight away, no idea whether it would help for my Urticaria"


"Cant give a full review yet as this is my second day of taking this medication, but I will give updates to those interested or with a similar case as mine. I've tried many different SSRI but it seems my system but for reasons unknown my body wont tolerate them. I am a fairly strong and tough guy physically but the side effects were too much for me to continue. For over a month now Ive been taking mirtazapine, came to taking 30 mg but ended up with really bad arthralgia so I came back down to 15 mg. Been taking that and it seems to helped a little with my depression and anxiety. Managable symptoms at least, but at this point any subtle improvement means a lot. As far as trintellix, so far so good. No nasea or vomiting"


"When I was in the service I had a few bouts with sleep problems only 3 times in 8 years. I was put on Ambien for 2 weeks at a time.  Eventually it would wear off I'd go back to "dealing with it"  Then for a few years I self medicated with whiskey.  No big dramatic story but that had to stop.  When I got out I didn't even try to claim compensation for it with the VA but they gave me a insomnia comp.  Since then I receive my pills in the mail.  I have never had a negative side effect.  No sleep walking, talking, driving. It works better on an empty stomach though.  I've woken up at night on it before but I normally fall right back to sleep.  I wake up feeling like I got that perfect amount of sleep and so refreshed.  It has given me my life back."


"Hello

Not wanting to just believe everything you read and wanting to trust my medical team. I tried one pearl today. I need something to quite a dry cough that won't end. Otherwise my vitals are good - no fever - no mucus - no strep.

Within an hour of taking one pearl - i just feel weird. Head is buzzing. I would not be comfortable in a group setting. It may help my cough but I feel stoned.

Why can't we have open discussions with MDs about using lows dose codeine without feeling we are drug addicts. I have some 5mg hydro + 325 Acetaminophen that create none of what I am feeling now.

However;I do not have the cough though so it does work.

Conclusion: Not a fan. It appears to work. I do not prefer this solution."


"I have been taking this medication for about 2 months . First I took the 25mg it worked for a few weeks then stopped so I bumped it up to the 50mg it works but I'm going. It doesn't stop working like the 25mg did ....... due to the side effects I'm having I think I'm going to quit taking this medication ...... headaches , confusion , blurry vision , leg cramps , high blood pressure , rapid heart beating , dry mouth , anxiety , not sleeping if I take it at night , uti , chest tightness ......"


"I like the medication but it does dry me out some times. So I drink lots of water. I also do notice it helps you sleep. I haven't been on this medicine long just about two months."


"Ok!
I have a friend who had  a strong psoriasis all over his head and body everybody at work felt bad for him and offered him doctors ,
Medicine's, vitamins, light treatment,  for months but no changes, we all where so disappointed, after a little time we saw his forehead is getting better from day to day, and we where shocked from suddenly such good results, and than he told us that he started with humira shots ...
After seeing such results,  I decided to spread this good news for all the people who are suffering so much from psoriasis, (he didnt have side effects, male in the late 20s)"


"Best of the ones I've tried for leg pain from spinal injury."


"I got this as my first birth control experience at the age of 17. When I first got it, I didn't realize that all of the side effects I was having were caused by this. I gained some weight. I was moody and had zero sex drive. I also had irregular periods which I never had before. I would bleed for a couple days after every sexual encounter. I won't lie, I had a promiscuous year during year 3 of having this. I didn't have a single pregnancy scare. But after the first year of having Implanon, my side effects subsided. I love it. I am so glad that I have it. I had it replaced last summer and saw a few side effects from it. Just irregular periods again. But it is so worth it. A year of side effects is nothing compared to being a mom."


"I was on this pill for 4 months and half. I didn't finish the last month because I COULD NOT stand the way I was feeling anymore. I had constant mood swings and was irritated basically all the time. My acne got worse even after having been on the pill for 4 months already. I switched now to a progesterine-only pill because I was having terrible migraines as well."


"This cream will make you want to take your vagina off  it is so itchy! Funny but very true, I will not use this product again. The severity of the itching is scary. I hadn't horrific nights and ok days with this product."


"No side effects at all, will test this week if it has cured me, furthermore I'm just fine."


"After years of being told I had IBS-D and it was all in my head, I was finally diagnosed as having UC.  I was so sick at that point I was considering going on disability.  After two weeks of Lialda, I started to improve and soon could live somewhat of a normal life, although with a very restricted diet.  A routine blood test 11 months later showed that my kidneys had been damaged by this anti-inflammatory.  I got off Lialda immediately but four months later my creatinine level is still too high.  I never had any kidney trouble before taking Lialda."


"Medicine took water weight of 24lb immediately and another 9 lb. in the next 2 weeks.  Helped my breathing almost immediately.  Was nauseous for 6 months, however I took med at night to sleep through nausea. Have used for 1 1/2 yrs. and no more side effects.  Does help keep swelling to a minimum in entire body."


"Almost a week after switching to Taytulla I knew something was wrong. I figured my body was going through an adjustment period, but 2 more weeks went by and every single day has been hell. I'm nauseous, I get light-headed, I have double vision, and I have a weird taste in my mouth that just won't go away. The actual gel capsule itself is dangerous too. I have no issues with swallowing gel capsules usually but one day I almost choked while trying to swallow it. Oddly enough, the Taytulla glided over my tongue while I swallowed water. When I attempted a breath, the slippery coating allowed it to slip right into my windpipe. I was aggressively coughing until it finally came back out. My body feels like it's going haywire, I'm switching back."


"I am 50 years old and on high blood pressure medicines that were affecting performance.  I split the 20 mg tablet in half per my doctors orders.  Cialis works great.  Since I am not worried about my erections, I can enjoy myself more.  I have noticed a slight increase in the time it takes to ejaculate, but I do not mind (and my wife enjoys that also). I can have another erection within 15 minutes of ejaculating. If I take the pill Friday night after dinner, it works until at least Sunday night and sometimes Monday morning. I have noticed that I can get a headache if I drink even one drink on an empty stomach. The stuffy  nose is declining with every use."


"I've been taking 250mg for almost a week.  At first I felt a bit euphoric, but that quickly passed.  Now I just feel physically anxious- sweating, increased heart rate and blood pressure, heat waves.  I'm cutting down to 150mg and hoping that the effects subside as I get used to being on the medicine.  If this anxiety does not go away, I cannot continue on the medication."


"This medicine never made the voices I heard go away-though I'll admit they were a bit calmer. They couldn't have been anything but though, considering the fog I was in because of the side effects. I felt NOTHING, not happiness, depression, calmness, anxiety. I saw no wonder in the world, felt no kind of joy. It was no way to live-it wasn't living. It was existing, and that side effect didn't go away despite my taking it for months. Another side effect was the weight gain-in three months I'd gained thirty pounds."


"Insertion was a breeze, I didn't feel anything. First year went fine, besides the ridiculously heavy periods. But some side effects I had were; yeast infections, fatigue, weight gain, migraines, cramping, dizziness, nausea, racing heart, brain fog, hair loss, eye sensitivity, brain pressure, and brain shakes. They probably say little or no copper makes it to your bloodstream. But I believe plenty does, and when that happens, when your blood has enough copper in it, it can begin storing copper in your organs and tissues in your body, causing tons of bad side effects, while also not showing on a blood test that anything is wrong. I got this IUD taken out a few days ago and I feel like the old me again, with my side effects lessening each day."


"I have been on Oxazepam 10mgs  for over 15yrs now.  It works. Only one problem. My memory is gone. At age 64yrs old. I can now see the difference. My life is not the same anymore.  I have no life.
I don't recommend long term use of this drug as it habit forming.
I have tried many times to come off.
Not easy - Most doctors today do not give out this drug.It is not common in the USA as they would rather give you another benzo.
My advice is stay away from all Benzos
But if I had to have one (and I know this does not make sense)
but this one works the best for anxiety, stomach problems and high blood pressure.
Better then Valium."


"I would do it over again I choose 9 pm to take mine, I was told I  had hep c 2013 at 61 yrs old ...it scared me to death now I say thank you after 8 weeks of treatment I'm hep c free no liver damage red and white blood cells great I'm healed and virus gone I give a big thank to the maker of this medicine and I never had a side effect, taking it at night.  I feel great now and free of that hep c"


"I'm 26 and have been taking this for about 5 years. I didn't experience side effects Besides some light spotting at first. I gained about 8 lbs in the first 6 months but I dont know if they're related. It did increase my cup size though. I barely get a period anymore and it's very light. If anything, this has worked so well that i'm afraid to try any other forms of birth control. This drug is actually prescribed to treat acne so i'm surprised to see a review saying it caused it. I get maybe 3 or 4 pimples a year and my skin is clear besides some mild oily tzone/chin. I didn't give this a full 10 because it is annoying to have to remember to take it at the same time every day. I definitely recommed this pill."


"As someone who has suffered with chronic bronchitis most of my adult life, have used CEPHALEXIN for these URTI for years, it has & is working for me when things looked really bad; usually in just a few days I am on the mend and with in a week or so the nasty cough is gone. The stuff saved me from being admitted into the Hospital yet once again."


"I was foaming out of my mouth, nearly vomiting, anxiety and physical discomfort was at its worst,  I could not urinate even though I had to, I severe hunger and I was in this condition for several hours. Needless to say, I did not or could not have sex. Be aware of yohimbe. It was terrifying."


"I'm just finishing up my first month of Junel fe and I'm pretty pleased. I was put on Junel fe for acne and to be honest I was really skeptical because of all the negative reviews. I had an initial minor breakout but ever since then my skin has been clearing up. I've given it a 7/10 because I've noticed slight weight gain (2 pounds) and weird mood swings. But I would strongly recommend this birth control."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I find the drug combination very effective."


"Taking for 2 months prior to ablation, and 1 month after. It seems really strong at first, kinda makes you dizzy, but i got used to it within a few days. I can't say I've had any problems with it at all, other then being in the sun/heat seems to make me very tired very quickly. Keeps my rhythm good. I wanted to say, not being sick or dealing with pain or excessive stress is a MASSIVE part of staying in rhythm. The heart will react to anything wrong or unusual with the body. Even a cold/flu or even allergy symptoms."


"I had 2 blood clots as a result of a hairline fracture in my ankle.  Consequently, I was given Coumadin April 14.  I started Revlimid May 7.  May 25 I had a new blood clot even though my INR was 3.7 - in range to prevent clotting.  I was hospitalized and missed a Memorial Day party.   The doctors were baffled and thought the Coumadin was not effective.   I disagreed, stopped Revlimid immediately and stayed on Coumadin.  I flew to and from Italy this month with no blood clotting...the food was fabulous although I miss some eating great salads.  (Kidney issues prevent the other blood thinning remedies)"


"I didn't use it long enough to see if it would prevent my monthly migraine but I wanted to share the side effects I experienced.  I started with 25 milligrams twice a day for 7 days and felt ok but did experience some tingling in my feet and fingers.  Then I increased to 50 milligrams twice a day per doctor's order and things really changed.  I started having the craziest dreams every night.  Tingling was very pronounced every day in feet and hands.  I couldn't get out of bed easily. I felt very lethargic and really like a zombie. I kind of had a flat affect and felt very robotic at times. Other times I was very depressed and irritable or even angry.  I stopped taking it. Also was hungry all the time. That was not normal for me at all."


"I was diagnosed with psuedotumor cerebrae, hypertension in the brain caused by high levels of fluid.  I have been on Diamox for several months.  It worked then I needed another spinal tab, they upped my dose to 3 caps a day. Manufacturer and pharmacist both said NO, so now I am back on 2 caps a day; and the fluid is back!  I can't take it anymore!"


"This birth control has been placed in my arm for about 2 months and I have on and off bleeding. I also gained lower back pain. And worst of all I am depressed now and always always hungry. I feel pregnant. And I'm not. Its a horrible birth control. I gained 20 lbs. In just about a month and a half"


"I have GAD and Panic Disorder going on 10 years. I've been on Zoloft the entire time. I had a relapse this year and went on Buspirone.  It worked for several weeks but didn't hold up.  I steadily went all the way up to the max of 60 mg/day but this wasn't for me.  I did have some anti-anxiety effects, but it made me feel empty and I didn't enjoy doing things.  I eventually got off of this.  I'm now taking Gabapentin (in addition to Zoloft 200 mg) and I like it a lot better so far."


"Good Med! Little skeptical about helping me. I have a bad habit of changing my dosages on my own. I find 200mg to be good. I take Latuda as well which is a anti-depressant booster sort of. Appetite is normal sometimes not as bad as I thought. No vomiting but diarrhea instead. I have a bad gall bladder which needs to be removed maybe why I'm so loose on the stool. Stick with it."


"I had severe muscle spasms from either tearing or pulling a muscle in my back when playing with my son. I couldn't stand, breath, just lay down with out my back pulsating.  Went to a Care Now facility because it was the weekend, a doctor gave me Fexmid and inflammatory ibuprofen medicine. Within an 30 minutes I could feel my back muscles retracting. Flexmid also helps with my TMJ cause I grind my teeth at night sometimes."


"Well the first 2 months on Microgestin Fe 1/20 my period didn't regulate until the third month. I started the 4th month pack & got my period a week before & it's a super light flow. I called my doctor & they prescribed me a higher dosage 1.5/30 and they said for sure my period should cut off & regulate. But I didn't have any side effects or weight gain or bad acne. I'm going to finish this first pack if I don't like it then I'll switch to Aviane."


"I have arthritis is both knees from years of athletics, in my youth. I have moderate to severe pain after long standing, use or cold. The Flector Patch on my knees are perfect. I use them as needed and I experience 90% relief without having to take any oral medicines. I am a FAN!"


"I've been diagnosed with type 2 for about 17 years. Started out with diet and exercise then pills then insulin once a day then twice a day now four times a day. Started 100mg invokana about two months ago .. Yes more urination, no yeast infections, cut my insulin in half, numbers are much better but recent blood test has shown tryglicerides have almost tripled. Still on 100 mg but will probably have to come off .. Which really sucks"


"Love this medication. Was nervous at first due to heart problems but cleared by doctor to take. Feel great no side effects. Crave water. Don't like the taste of soda. Eating less. More energy. Worth every penny. No jitters. No cramps. No headaches. So glad I decided to take it. Have been on for 5 weeks down 10 lbs."


"Worst side effects ever!!!!!!!"


"I got Implanon a little over a month ago. At first it regulated my moods. Except once when I burst into tears over nothing, then was fine. Other than that don't notice any weight gain, I have been getting headaches but I also have a cold so I'm not sure if that's the birth control yet. I also sleep twelve to 14 hours a day. I love this birth control and I find myself poking it a lot. I recommend it."


"I use this medicine for my high blood pressure."


"Worked really well over just a few days."


"Such a miserable experience. I could not wait to have it removed.
Copper inside the body caused pelvic inflammation. The worst pain.."


"I had Mirena inserted 4 months after my 2nd child was born. I bled for about 6 months after that and most of the time it was heavy until the end. I also experienced a lot of pregnancy symptoms.  Now my periods have stopped other than long spells of spotting at random times. Sometimes I will have indications that I am going to start and then I don't.  I now am suffering from lack of energy, low sex drive and an overall sick feeling most of the day. I got over the months of bleeding but I can't stand the way I feel every day. "


"I mainly chose this brand because it is 100% covered by my insurance. I have been using it for about 10 months now and I have absolutely no issues. No side effects at all (knock on wood). No weight gain, no breakouts, no nausea, no babies."


"Luv it been on it 2 days now had an attack like an hour ago was in severe pain took one 20 mg worked in 30 min its a life saver for me!"


"Been on it for 2 months now, increased 2 cupsizes and lost weight! Went from 140, to 128-130 lbs, only thing is, I'm SO emotional, it's driving my boyfriend and I crazy, I cry about everything. No babies, bigger breasts, weight loss. Sounds good to me! Only problem is emotions, but I'm sure they'll subside."


"I had my second child October 21. On January 5, I decided to get the nexplanon as a birth control. I honestly hate it. I have had about 6 periods since I've gotten this birth control. The periods usually last about five to six days with a day or two in between the next time it comes on. I bleed too much & I'm honestly ready to get this out as soon as possible. It reacts to everyone differently but I guess I'm one of the unlucky ones."


"My liver has always looked fine on ultrasounds.  Since I've been taking Seroquel (4 years)  my liver is enlarged, fatty and dense. However, I have been on various anti depressive meds for 35 years and the liver has to process this every day. It also made me drowsy. Don't know if Seroquel made my liver this way or just all the years on meds. I am currently coming off Seroquel and onto Lamictal and Rexulti. Fingers crossed! Good luck to you all, it's a very tough condition to live with!"


"I began taking Nuvigil for Idiopathic Hypersomnia about two weeks ago. I have found it works well. I like that I don't get that "speed" effect. I still feel like I could take a nap during the day, I just don't have as strong of a desire to. I think I am developing a tolerance for it, though. The main problem that I have with this medication though is that after being on it about a week and a half I noticed that I had some spotting. I have been on my birth control for over a year and that has NEVER happened. "


"I have been on this pill for about 4 months and it has been helpful. My cramping has gotten less severe and I don't seem to be experiencing any side effects. My acne has gotten better, and my breast are occasionally sore but nothing to extreme. There has been no change in my sex drive my only issue is that I miss my period occasionally."


"I went on my first pack this month and am taking my third week right now and just experienced some major break through bleeding ( which I guess is normal so well see how it keeps going) but as far as my acne I used to have insane cysts on my cheeks and chin. Within one week, I had no cysts but just minor small pimples which I'm totally fine with. So I'm on my third week and I don't get the painful cysts anymore. I just had one or two small ones on my chin but that's it!  would recommend for acne but the break through bleeding scared me."


"My sixteen year old son began taking 15mg of the generic Focalin and had great results, unfortunately the side effects are beginning to bother him after one year of successfully taking the medicine. It seems the gastrointestinal issues are making him weary and he has asked to discontinue the medicine despite the stellar grades. Hoping a switch to a lower dose may work."


"this is by far the worst pain I have ever been in, I rather go in labor again than to deal with this itching and burning ! They need to seriously take this off the shelves cause this is just ridiculous, my first YI and I wish I would've just went to the doctor first and read you guys reviews first cause I was honestly scared to use it in the first place. I'm very sensitive everywhere but I really thought this was going to help me ! This is like an hour in with using Monistat 3 and I WILL NOT be using day 2 and 3."


"My 11-year-old son has been diagnosed with PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome).. Clonidine is so effective with my son that we only give him 1/8 of his pill. If I give him 1/4 he is very tired in the morning. He is also on a very small dose of Prozac. He takes Clonidne as needed for anxiety as the Zithromax (antibiotics) got rid of his tics so he doesn't need the Clonidine anymore for that. But sometimes his anxiety acts up at night and Clonidine relaxes him so he can sleep. He also has 1/2 a 3mg of melatonin but he can only take melatonin now that his tics are gone because before it made him tired while he was wired and that was uncomfortable.
Anyway, Clonidine is the best medication for his anxiety, but if we give him the diagnosed amount he is a zombie in the morning"


"Did absolutely nothing to alleviate my cough. And now I am feeling slightly nauseated. I actually think my cough was better before taking it, as at least the hacking was removing phlegm. Now it's a useless dry cough that is just as painful to my poor abused ribs. Thankfully haven't noticed any warning signs of diarrhea. Hopefully, it'll stay that way. Overall this product was and unsatisfying waste of my money and time."


"I have been on this for 3 months, I have lost 30 pounds.  My A1C went from 12.7 to 6.1.  My blood sugar numbers went from 230 to 98 I have not had any of the negative side effects. I have not had dry mouth or waking up to urinate as some others have experienced.  This medication has worked great for me so far."


"I was in mva,resulting in C ,T and L-spine fx, had 4 major surgery procedures & with 50/50 chance of death or possible paralysis from neck down! Fortunately I have positive results, with combination of pain medication & soma,I have at least been able to survive! Soma is the only  muscle relaxer that actually works.My new pain management Dr.does not like it & wants me to discontinue using it. He is young, and at my age 68 ,I would prefer to live a better quality of life vs living longer and and suffering even more! I have read most of the studies, but these people do not live in severe pain and I have been in other rx stud studies,& they are not convincing or long term, I think these are big pharma slanted! Soma has been the best & only one"


"I'm a 29 yr old mother of 3. 2 are twin toddlers. I dealt with anger since my teenage yrs. Yelling, tantrums, uncontrollable anger. Many times there would be no reason or very minor ones. Even as an adult I would sit in my closet and tear my clothes down and scream until I felt better. Trying to hide this unhealthy release of anger. Finally I got to where I would stay at home. My doctor diagnosed me with depression. I didn't believe her but took her advise. We started the beginners pack. 10mg/7days, 20mg/7days then onto 40mg. The first couple of days of each new mg comes with some nausea. EAT WELL! 6 Months later and I am so happy. No more yelling at kids/hubby. Saved my marriage. DO NOT MISS A DOSE EVEN BY AN HOUR. YOU WILL BECOME A MONSTER."


"Plan B has worked for me 3 times, the third time was a little scary because I actually missed my period for almost 3 weeks, I decided to take a pregnancy test  and my luck it was negative, the funny part is that the same day I took the pregnancy test later through out  the day my period came. No side effects everything worked just fine."


"Topamax has helped my diabetic nerve damage more than any other drug that my doctor has prescribed for me, and it does not have all the other nasty side effects, including the weight gain.  I get enough of that from the insulin.  I love taking the Topamax.  I'm on a low dose (25 mg) but it sure has helped me."


"I have been on Zoloft (Lustral/ Sertraline)  UK) on and off for 20 years. I trust it. I have never written about it online or discussed it much with anybody other than medical professionals. I am writing this for those that are in the first 6 weeks of treatment. I take 50-150mg, usually the maintenance dose of 50mg is enough. Sometimes I will take it up to 75mg and rarely up to 100mg. On 50mg, no side effects at all after 8 weeks of treatment. 75mg and upward causes problems in the man department for me. I change dose at  /- 25mg at a time. I would never dream of going straight to 50mg, but that's just me. Weeks 3-6 you to just have to grin and bear it. You will not feel like that forever, it goes away and you will feel well. I promise."


"I've been taking Bydureon for 2 months and have knots at each injection site.  The last one is red and itchy.  Won't see the doctor for another three weeks so hopefully the A1C is much better.  I've lost 10 pounds, have slight nausea and occasional low blood sugar.  Because of my lifelong aversion to needles, my husband gives me my shot, bless him.  I just cannot make myself do the injection.  I experience a good bit of stinging when the medication is going in.  I'd been taking Januvia for a couple of years and have developed nodules (benign, so far) on my thyroid.  I'm concerned that my doc prescribed Bydureon given my recent thyroid history."


"Have been using Rogaine for a period of 4 months and no change was noticed at all! It was prescribed by my GP in Toronto and really had a strong hope to have my hair regrown! Because it is an ineffective product, I stopped using it!  It is such a waste of time and money!! I have no faith in Rogaine anymore!
I recommend you take your time deciding whether to use it or not before buying it."


"Great when you start at a low dose. Then as Doctor increases dose I get less and less benefit.
"


"If your living in the USA you have three options with this medication. Go bankrupt, spent weeks in the hospital, or die. It cost me over $16,000 a year between paying for two insurance policies and a drug program. Now it's listed as a vitamin so my insurance will not cover it. Cost per pill $65+, I have to take 3 a week. Now my insurance will pay the $100K it cost per hospital stay. Makes no sense? So far I have chosen not to bleed out. If I don't buy the pill's I'm considered suicidal. They don't seem to care that I can't afford to eat,"


"Been on this for a year and so far it's helped me lose 80lbs which anybody that knows or experiences PCOS knows it's hard as heck to lose any weight. It's helped the unwanted body hair go away for the most part and my periods come every month and are usually between 7-9 days compared to once every 4-5 months and being at least 2 weeks long before I started this birth control. The hair on my head grows fuller and faster and the facial hair is almost completely gone.  I suggest this birth control to anybody that experiences PCOS or symptoms like it"


"26yr old mom of four. Started Belviq a week and a half ago lost 13lbs. Only side effect headache first couple of days and dry mouth but it subsides. So glad I tried the 14 day trial. I will be purchasing after trial."


"I have suffered with degenerative disc disease, 5 herniated discs and arthritis in my lumbar spine and neck. I have taken every medicine available, have tried all the injections but NOTHING works like Oxycontin. I now have a very rare form of Leukemia which doubled the pain that I was already in. "


"Was prescribed 25mg for post traumatic stress from a motorcycle vs. Drunk driver wreck I survived.  I also have insomnia and panic/anxiety attacks as a result.  I had negative experiences with Xanax. So started amitript 25mg did nothing for me, kept me awake, even.  50mg helped a little (5-6 hours of sleep).  I went back to the doc and he said 'a guy your size, try taking 2 50mg before bed' (I weight 215).  I took 2 while making dinner and could barely keep my head up while eating.   I slept 10 hours straight!  This is fantastic as I have 'interrupted sleep cycles' where my body comes out of REM sleep from the PTSD.  Doc says I need 10-12 hours of sleep on a good night.  I like that it's not addictive as well."


"I started off with seralitine (generic for zoloft),100mg it lifted my mood, I was happier, less angry, calm, and it helped with my moods before my cycle came along. After a while it started to wear off so I started taking 150mg, finally I increased it to 200mg with my docs permission. I loved this dose because it seemed to suit me better, but after a while I noticed my hair shedding really bad. So I switched back to 150mg and it stopped. Everyone is different with side effects but I recommend this drug. It has changed my life for the better, it helps my anxiety,and it helps me not to worry as much. I'm glad I tried it. It does mess with sex drive but some maybe able to work around that."


"I have hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and take metoprolol twice a day to keep my heart rate lowered and blood pressure down. It does the job well, but the side affects are rough to handle sometimes. Such as dizziness, sleepless nights, daytime drowsiness, forgetfulness, and depression but, i'm still coping after about four years and i guess on for the rest of my life. But if i can manage after three brother suicides than so can you."


"Hello: I have taken 5mg doses once a day for the past 2 1/2 weeks for  High blood pressure and stress. I noticed no effect and had none of the bad side effects I've heard of here.  One thing - I do think I am dreaming more.  Not nightmares but very vivid dreams. I may be a little calmer during the day but I can hardly notice *any* changes.   I will stay with this for a while longer and see what happens."


"I have been using trazodone for three years. I started on 25mg and this is still sufficient. I like that I do not have any side effects. I would encourage people to try trazodone before any type of scheduled sleep aid."


"I've been taking Lexapro for about 5 months now. They started me at 10 mg and three months ago bumped me up to 20 mg. I've struggled with chronic depression for about five or six years now. Used to be a self harmer but with Lexapro things don't trigger me as much as they used to. Today I missed a dose and honestly feel like totally poop so I was just looking to see if that's normal. Feel kinda suicidal because I didn't take it today but that's pretty normal anyways. I feel like Lexapro is not really a crutch as much as something like Xanax is. I have a prescription for Xanax as well. Would recommend Xanax for anxiety. But I have depression and anxiety, so I need both. Hope this helps. Would definitely recommend Lexapro. I feel tons better."


"Awful. I'm on day 10 of death. Started out as violent D&V thought I'd eaten something dodgy as I'd been in Thailand for a week but day 2 started feeling really awful. Ended up being admitted to hospital after about a week. Had a nebuliser every couple of hours and and IV antibiotic. Chills, shaking, terrible hacking cough, pounding headache, blocked sinus. Thai hospital not much fun with cats wandering around the ward so was pleased to get out after 1 night. They left the cannula in so got pumped full of another dose of antibiotics which in turn made me more sick/diarrhoea. Doc gave me a further 3 days of azithromycin - first dose gave me more diarrhoea and nausea. I have zero appetite and not eaten for 10 days and feel no better at all."


"Before trying Lialda, I was taking Canasa which was extremely helpful, however, it is a suppository. That was not pleasant, especially if I was going to have to continue taking that medication for the rest of my life! My doctor mentioned Lialda so I started taking it. It has been just as effective as Canasa for me and I have not had a flare up in almost 3 years!"


"I've tried this product twice and both times it did zero to help even when applying at first "tingling".  The cold sore took just as long to heal as when I use nothing.  Plus it continued to spread on the third day.   I applied 5 times a day as recommended and ran out on the 3rd day.  Waste of money."


"I had been having muscle spasms the Zanaflex helped. I suffer from real bad insomnia; I have been unable to find a medicine that would work for me and once prescribed Zanaflex I have been able to sleep every night as long as I have them. So if anyone else suffers from insomnia maybe they could try Zanaflex, it really helps."


"Sure this med can keep depression at bay but it can also cause some really horrible side effects. After being on this med for 1 yr I went from being a healthy 170 lbs (women's size 12) to 250 lbs (size 20). It made me so lethargic and tired. I would sleep for 14 hours a day and still be dragging out of bed. About 2 months ago was the final straw. I got blood work done by my GP and my triglycerides were through the roof as well as elevated blood sugar. The doc was ready to put me on meds for diabetes! I'm only 25 and I just wanted my health back so last week I went to a new doc who got me off this horrible stuff. I feel like a new person without this toxic med in my body. Now on Viibryd."


"I have been bleeding nonstop since I got on this medication not to mention my hair is falling out! I can't even run my fingers through my hair without me losing a handful of hair I always said I wouldn't get the shot but I have in and I regret it so much!"


"Didn't help with blocking pain, I did react by swelling feet and ankles!  Was on lyrica for 6 days and had to go back to emergency because of swelling."


"THANK YOU PLAN B! This pill worked its magic on me. We had our little oops on July 31st Friday night and the next morning we immediately went out to purchase it. So I took the pill within less than 24 hours. I felt some side effects no doubt. head ache & nausea. BUT!  I started my period Sunday night, which was a big relief."


"I have been on Zoloft for just over a year. I take 75-100 mg daily. I'm definitely more comfortable in social situations. My only complaints are drowsiness and not really having ANY emotions. It did help a lot when I was downsized. I'm still looking for a job but it seems to help with anxieties associated with job interviews. People say I'm a HAPPY person now."


"I have a mild yeast infection. Tried taking Diflucan One (1 x 150 mg tablet). Four days later, no improvement whatsoever. Tonight I went to the drugstore and purchased Canesten (3 x vaginal tablets) which I've used successfully in the past.  Had I known, I would have stuck with what I know works and saved myself the $30."


"It took a lot of persuading my psychiatrist but eventually she gave in and prescribed me Valium 2 mg yesterday.  Within twenty minutes of my swallowing the first tablet, the difference it made was just incredible;  no anxiety whatsoever and I felt very calm, even happy, as I also have clinical depression.  Valium (diazepam) is simply great in my (albeit limited) experience so far."


"I have had the Implanon for about 12 weeks and am going to have it removed next week.  Although a good form of contraception for preventing babies, I have found it made me moody, anxious and at times down-right depressed.  Also sometimes aggressive, and my libido dwindled to nothing (rather defeats the object).  My poor young boys think an alien has inhabited their Mummy's body, and they are the final reason I am having it taken out.  I have been irritable beyond belief with them and never was before this went in.  My husband wants his wife back, my kids want their mum back and I want my life back.  It works for some people.  It has not worked for me."


"I was put on Breo Ellipta because my asthma is not well controlled on any other medication that I've previously been put on. For the first two weeks or so it gave me a really sore throat but that went away. I haven't had ANY asthma attacks since starting. It's completely stopped any wheezing as well. It's an amazing medication. I went from having several attacks - varying in severity - every day to none at all. It's also free for the first year with a coupon even if you don't have insurance. I'm so thankful for Breo Ellipta. Even if the sore throat wouldve stayed, I wouldn't have stopped using it. The benefits for me far outweigh the cons."


"5mg to 10mg every morning gets me through the day without sleepiness nor euphoria side effects and makes me feel completely “normal”."


"Very effective medicine, get gastric issues though as side effect. Using since 1 year."


"I lived in torture for years after back and neck surgery failed. Like a fool I refused to take narcotic medicine until I started studying their intrinsic effects on people. For the past 4 yrs I've been taking Oxycontin, now 320 mgs/day, and I can only thank God for these little green miracles. I've never felt "high" on them. I take them to function, PERIOD.

"


"i have Hashimotos  thyroiditis.

United Health care & Medicare says Armour Thyroid is not covered by them. I was on Armour thyroid for 15years.

My insurance made me try other meds.I tried other thyroid meds including Nature Throid. I put on 48 lbs under Nature Throid my body was tired I was dizzy & could not function & had incontinence.

I now am back on Armour thyroid feeling better everyday & decreasing in weight & other symptoms are gone.

But have to pay for it myself & since I am on Social Security it is a big expense. Thanks Armour thyroid"


"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 just took my first dose Sunday night.  I woke up in the middle of the night last night (2nd night in) with extreme acid reflux, very bad stomach bloating, very bad gas both belching and flatulence which tastes like nothing I can even describe and smells just as bad. Has anyone ever encountered this before with this medicine?"


"One day in, and I instantly broke out. I've had clear skin for about a year, up until starting the pill. Each day I took the pill I got another red inflamed pimple. Nothing was helping, and it was making me feel uncomfortable. I read that if the acne was to persist it could be up to 3 months before it went away. I stopped taking the pills after 9 days, and almost instantly the redness subsided. It's been 3 days since stopping the pill and my face is more than halfway back to normal.

On the other hand, I didn't gain any weight or adopt any mood swings, or bleed - but I was only on it for a week."


"I waited a week to start because of all the problems people had. I noticed I already had many of these symptoms! So when I started I didn't really notice anything different. I've been on it for about a month and have lost 6 pounds. It definitely takes work on my part, and I'm not constantly thinking about food! I actually put my hand in a big bag of m&m's and grabbed a handful. I was able to let them go and not eat any!! I was ok with it! I will say though, as HYPOthyroid for many years, suddenly my thyroid was working TOO well! My thyroid meds had to be lowered. I've never had that happen. Other than that, I feel ok and need to keep going! Good luck all!"


"Only on my second week of treatment but its not looking so good. I got it to treat some cystic acne on my back and my skin cleared up quickly the first week. However I'm tired all of the time, and the cystic acne's coming back with a vengeance. Just broke out with a line of huge pimples down my lower back which has never happened, and some on my face, all of which are very painful. I'll continue the treatment for a few more weeks but so far things aren't looking good."


"I have taken Celexa, Effexor XR, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Remeron and by far Prozac is a miracle drug for me. I would not take anything else. I have been on this prescription for 3 years and it is fantastic!"


"I started Contrave twice.  First time was April 2016.  I had a lot going on in my life at tat time with deaths and job losses, so had some horrible affects, which I thought was from the drug so I stopped.  The next March I met with my endocrinologist again, who put me on the drug.  I told him what happened, and he said it wasn't the Contrave and encouraged me to start again.  So in March 2017 I started.  I weighed 258 lbs   I won't lie, the first week was rough.  Nausea, feeling out of sorts, but after reading reviews on this sight I took others advice.  I started taking Dramamine with the pills.  Also took my time with the pill increase.  I took 1 pill for a month, than added on 2 pills for a month, than 3.  I weened off the Dramamine and am feeling fine.  I met with my Endocrinologist in June, down 31 lbs.  He was ecstatic!  It was the best Dr. visit of my life.  He said to keep doing what I have been. As of today - Sept 11, 2017, I have been on the drug 6 months, I am down 40 lbs.  I still only take 3 pills a day as that seems to be working.  If I hit a plateau I will add the 4th.  I want to encourage you - the firs week is tough - but hang in there.  It gets better!"


"Taken at the beginning of symptoms it stops the headache within 30 minutes."


"I have suffered from migraines for many years. Over the years I have had many tests done and taken numerous medications for any kind of relief from the pain. The one and only thing I have found to help me so far has been Relpax. While it is expensive, even with a co-pay, I would pay any amount of money for this drug. In fact I normally cut my 40mg tablet in half and usually this is still enough to knock out my migraine pain and nausea within 2 hours. In my opinion this is a miracle drug."


"I will be 30 in 3 months and my skin is worse then it was when I was 16! What the hell! I find it interesting that everyone who really enjoyed this product, properly used this product. I was prescribed Differin when I was in my teens and it worked wonders! Now thats its OTC, I recently started using it again. I am at the 4 week point, so yes my face is breaking out. I remember when I first used it years ago the same thing happened and with patience my skin cleared up. I have already noticed a difference in my cheeks which seem to not be breaking out as bad. I am patiently waiting for this period of breakouts to come and go, so I can see those great results once more. I used Differin as a teen and loved it."


"It was fine for about 3 months...and then I started to notice that me and my Fience were fighting all the time. I would bite his head off if he said something smart or even if he didnt. I lost all sex drive. ALL and almost lost the love of life. I can day I didn't have periods at all...and I saved money on tampons lol it may be different for you..but unfortunately not for me."


"I've had zero side effects.  The fist change I noticed is my mood dramatically improved. My friends, family & coworkers have all noticed the change. For the first time in forever I feel normal. I'm not mad at the world. I wake up happy. As for my weight loss it's taken several months but I finally feel I'm on a roll. I'm only down 25lbs but in the last couple months the scales are doing down. Food it not a priority in my life anymore. As I sit here there is a king sized Kit Kat sitting on my nightstand where it's been for weeks since my roommate gave it to me. That never would be the cast in the past. I have more energy and have even lost a pants size. I will do whatever it takes to stay on this medicine."


"I've had absolutely no issues with Depo. I was on the pill for approx. 15 years and wish I had made the switch sooner. I'm generally prone to weight gain but didn't experience this at all after starting the shot; I started training for a fitness competition shortly after and was concerned it might be harder for me to cut weight but had no issues whatsoever. It's so much easier than having to take a pill every day and there are some great calendars online that tell you when you're able to go back for the next one and when you're deadline is. I have absolutely no problem recommending Depo to anyone."


"I promised to myself if it works I would  write a review..whoever is panicking don't worry.this works especially if u took b4 ovulation your period would come earlier. My period came a week earlier and it was very slight. I thgt..its pregnancy period but thank God the next month I got period exactly. I was so panicked. Don't worry your period might come earlier or later"


"Needs to be taken with food. Worked well for about a year then It gave me random bouts of severe depression and fatigue. I think when I was taking this I had more homicidal thoughts. Thank GOD I don't suffer from these side effects anymore. I'll stick to my abilify."


"Nothing worked on me ambien, sonatata, Valium , this WORKS"


"Male, 32y. I was suffering from stomach complex pains, terrible headaches, and depression. 16 months ago I was prescribed for Venlafaxin up to 225mg/day and Trimipramin for sleeping. It was very complicated with ups and downs but I finally got to a normal life. Since then I have gained ~10kgs but I think it's not bad for me since I was underweight before. My doctor suggested me to decrease it gradually and cut it off. I was on 75mg until yesterday and today I didn't take it. In the afternoon I was very irritated and anxious but it could be the short term withdrawal. I will update you if I could stay off medication. I wish you all strength and happiness"


"I absolutely LOVE Implanon.  I got it in June of 2007 and will be getting my second one next month.  I completely stopped having my period, which I was hoping for.  No side effects at all.  I couldn't be happier.  Hands down the best birth control I've ever been on and I never have to worry about taking something on time or missing something like so many of my friends on the pill do!  I recommend it to anyone who will listen.  So great that after only 2 simple procedures, I'll have been covered for 6 years!"


"I just got mine in a month ago and I feel and look really bloated all the time. I've been on my period for almost 2 weeks I don't like it so I'm getting it removed tomorrow."
