"I have been on Avapro 150mgs for about 8 years and I love it. My blood pressure is always good and usually 110/72 so it works. I was on calcium channel blockers before and they did not control my hypertension. From day 1 Avapro worked with no side effects. I have recommended to others who had  problems and when their Doctor switched them to Avapro, and their blood pressure is now controlled. I love this. "


"So I've never been backed up in my life until here recently. The other night after eating I got this horrible pain in my stomach and had realized some recent bloating. I work in a nursing home and the last thing I want is to become dependent on laxatives.. so I tried a natural laxative consisting of bran flakes applesauce and prune juice. It produced some bowel movements. However I was still not comfortable with being blocked, so naturally I think of magnesium citrate... I had heard how well this product worked and figured I'd give it a shot. I drank it around 4:30-5:00 pm and by 7:30 I was in the restroom. This stuff is amazing and works fast and well. The results will outweigh the burn. Good luck."


"I have taken 15 mg Remeron for about 5 days so far and it already is a miracle pill for me. I am slightly underweight and had constant anxiety, but so far this medication has vastly improved my appetite and I just feel relaxed, but not in an drugged feeling way. I actually enjoy food and am no longer as picky of an eater as I was before, which is awesome. It also helps with sleep, as it certainly has a sedative effect after you take it. I was really groggy and tired the first day after I took it, but have been fine and energized everyday since. I know every medication affects people differently, but if you are depressed and not worried about weight gain, give this a shot."


"It made me violent. 1 month straight. My breast stayed sore. I am already bipolar II and I needed this pill to stop my PMDD spikes and it amplified it. "


"When I was on Lexapro I felt really good and could handle things a lot better. My moods swings were a lot better."


"I have a history of migraines & Cervical Stenosis at C6-C7 with bulging of disc causing constant muscle tension in my neck/shoulders.  I have a long history of Bipolar D/O,depression & anxiety & recent  development of panic attacks (r/t recurrent missed miscarriages).  I have been treated with various psych/antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds over the past 23 years.  I had been prescribed various meds also to help with migraines to no avail with exception of Maxalt to relieve impending migraine episodes.  When I was prescribed Tramadol for migraines & chronic muscle/neck/shoulder pain I began to see a huge decrease in my anxiety & motivation & wanting to face each day.  I too hope they will consider Ultram for tx of anxiety/mood d/o."


"Best for curing H. pylori "Nexium 20mg" half hour before breakfast and half hour before dinner also my doctor suggested me to use Frisium only at night time before sleep. Within 2 days I start feeling  better and I used it for 1 month but Frisium I only took for one week."


"My Son has been taking Vyvanse for about a year now 70mg but he was on other medications before this and although they helped, we had moved and the new doctor did not want to prescribe him anything but Vyvanse and after some research I actually found that Vyvanse is one of the best for ADHD. The only side effects he has had was loss of appetite and insomnia but he is taking something to help him sleep and he eats good in the morning before he takes his medicine just doesn't like eating lunch so I bribe him if he wants to go play games he must eat a snack just like an apple or something no more weight lose just a steady weight now. School has become so much easier for him with grades and the teachers see a great change in him. "


"Pay attention to the dose for researching those who have experienced negative side effects. Many (although not all) of those with those unfortunate experiences started out at high doses (100mg+)

My experience has been nothing short of a MIRACLE. **Brief history* I have suffered horribly with acne since the age of 15. I am now 42. I have tried everything from toothpaste tricks to antibacterial drugs (Bactrim) to Proactive. Nothing worked. Not even Yaz. I was a mess. I would break out viciously with each cycle and have different stages of old & new acne. THIS STOPPED IT IN ONE WEEK. 25 mg, twice daily- ZERO SIDE EFFECTS. Do it at this dose & you might get the same results!!"


"I was afraid to try this stuff, but not so bad. Just finished my first round- 2nd round 3:00 am! The good thing about it is that it works without cramping. I didn't even have to race to the bathroom. I put both bottles in the fridge yesterday. I bought 2 bottles of Mexican coca-cola and opened them up and put them in Mason jars to let them get flat and chill. I mixed the 6 ounce of Suprep with 10 ounces of Mexican cola. My instructions said to drink 4 ounces every 10 minutes. I held my nose and used a Bubble Tea straw. The stuff tastes like salty metal but it was tolerable. Bit into a lemon slice after each 4 ounces. The lemon takes away the taste. After I finished drinking the Suprep I was instructed to have 32 ounces of clear liquid, too."


"For years I suffered from almost debilitating obsessive thoughts that ruled my life. I had no control over them. They intruded on every single aspect of my existence, making being present in any given moment virtually impossible, because the thoughts would not let up. About 4 years ago I started taking Lexapro, and the relief, within a few weeks, was immense. Now I can actually enjoy my family, my life. It is truly amazing."


"I went to my doctor 4/26/2016 & weighed 225. I have been eating & working out the way he says to. I was a little eager to weigh myself yesterday. I lost 2lbs. So I'm starting somewhere. I will update you guys in a month! Good luck everyone!"


"I was in the hospital for stress over life situations and a break down.

At a weak moment I was givin Risperidone .

It only took one tablet and here I am 7 days later with severe dizziness confusion and sound sensitivity .

I had no idea this was a anti psycoctic . I only have anxiety and immediately was alarmed . Will this go away !? Or is my brain ruined forever .

This drug should be taken off the market ."


"I am so glad I found this site and saw other people's experiences.  This drug works to prevent pregnancy, but I have a week with a light period, then a week of a normal period.  I have also been experiencing extreme mood swings.  I thought it was just me and the stress factor of having 3 young children to keep up with and that I am homeschooling the older ones.  Something just kept telling me that it was the birth control doing it.  I will be calling my dr. in the morning and switching!!"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"Ok, I'm back to share my experience with Pylera. I completed a 10-day dose of 12 pills/day.

Glad that I read reviews before begining or else the side effects would've concerned me.

From. day 1, I experienced daily nausea even though I ate a small meal with each dose, had a slight headache for about 3 days, my feces turned blackish brown by day 3 & lost its stink! No kidding! I also felt a little off, i.e. a feeling not quite right & a little tired. I drank a lot of water with each dose just as stated. I wont know the results for another 2-3 weeks. In the mean time I am taking Omeprazol 2x daily & a Probiotic."


"I've used Phentermine twice in the past, prescribed to me by my PCP. I lost the desired weight but I was not told to diet and I rarely worked out which obviously attributed to me gaining all the weight back. I began working out on a regular basis in the last few months but did not change my diet. (I'm hard headed, lol.) Well I began losing inches but not lbs. and decided I needed a boost, so I went to see a weight loss Doctor. I was prescribed Phentermine and Phendimetrazine. At 5'10 and 259 lbs. I decided to follow the diet also recommended by the Dr. which is pretty much the Atkins with the exception of you being able to eat yogurt. So 5 days later I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 250 lbs! Sticking to the script this time!"


"Plaquenil has been great for me.  It has reduced the stiffness & swelling in hands & feet to almost nothing.  Started at 200mg twice a day, and have since reduced to one time per day.  I have a complete eye exam once a year to watch for possible retina side effects."


"I was first introduce to use voltaren gel since i was 8 (20 years ago) by the doctor due to my leg injury. Then i had accident around 15 years ago where my right arm totally disfunctional and has healed by just applying this gel. Since then any strain injury, my family will only use voltaren emugel :)"


"Seems to take the edge of anxiety to some extent. Also having acceptance and commitment therapy which is helping quite a bit too. Still have bad days though but not quite as bad generally as before I was on the medication. No real side effects from what I've seen."


"Once I got past the side effects while titrating up to my standard dosage, I love it!  The side effects were rough, but you MUST start with a low dose and work up gradually, I would suggest not more than 50mg a week, until you reach your target dose.  I loved that it took also away my over- stitmulated appitete and I was able to reduce my BMI to 24."


"I've been on methadone for over 27 years and all I can say is that Methadose saved my life, if not for the clinic I go to I probably wouldn't be writing this opinion right now. This medication has helped me to lead a normal life after 15 years of addiction."


"I'm a younger woman (18) and I got my ParaGard IUD about 2 and a half months ago. I really psyched myself out about insertion but mine was relatively painless with a super quick twinge. On hormonal birth control I experienced heightened depression and anxiety. I feel much more myself on ParaGard because there are no hormones involved. As for periods, I have experienced no cramping but 3-4 extremely heavy days (soaking a super plus tampon every hour and a half) and then 2-3 very light days. I've heard periods get better the longer you have had the IUD. I'm about to be a college freshman an university and I feel very confident in the efficacy of this device. Excited to be baby free for up to 12 years. Recommend for teens & anyone on the fence"


"MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE NUVARING IF USING FOR THE 1ST TIME. My Dr didn't give me much info other than the brochure and I wasn't prepared for the roller coaster 5 days I had (yep that's all I lasted). Nauseous, sweaty, extremely tired, lethargic, unhappy, starving then not hungry at all, cramps, itchiness, headaches, dehydrated, fuzzy head, cough, teary EXTREMELY teary, anxious, nervous, irritable.. you name it I had it! After a very scary panic attack driving home from work I ripped it out and will not try it again. two days later I feel myself again

after using the pill for 14 years I'm not new to hormonal BC and I would not recommend this to anyone I know. it was extremely scary becoming a crazy person!"


"You get used to this and need to take more, or not take it (therefore not drive) for about a week. But only 'helpful' insights will be printed (after editing). So my saying $3600 a month for 60 pills? Really? Are they worth their weight in gold? They don't seem to have any side effects, for me. Other then tremors. So that's a plus. Should they cost more than most people make in a year? I am disabled, and receive $10,000 a year. After researching I'm not finding any major payouts from the company, due to lawsuits. (I realize awards are confidential, but there hasn't been many cases. Who(m) am I kidding. This won't be printed. I just HAD to say something, because the cost is  abominable. Ok. I c $$ How did u do the A-spam thing? Impressed!"


"The doctor didn't tell me if I had Bacterial Vaginitis or Trichomoniasis, but he said that I can be cured from both using those pills. He gave me metronidazole in the form of vaginal suppositories, for 10 days every 24 hours and a cream. This is my second time with the treatment because the first time it didn't work. The first time, I used it for 7 days, and other pills that I don't remember the name but the experience was the same. This time I'm on the third day and I'm not having odor or a lot of fluids coming out, just the white one from the pills. But I saw today a green discharge and I'm worried because I feel like I'm not doing it right because I have to insert it with my fingers and I don't know if it goes all the way through."


"The side effects far outweighed the benefits. Before I ever noticed that a migraine had begun to subside I was overwhelmed with the most awful tingling sensation. It literally felt like I had a full body rash and as though something was crawling on me, mixed with the tingly sensation when your foot falls asleep. I also got very weak and nauseous, and occasionally light headed. It was dreadful. I finally decided it was easier to take my regular migraine meds and treat the actual migraine symptoms than to deal with the side effects of Zomig. The only reason I'm giving it a 2 is because it did slightly lessen the actual migraine."


"I only took this for a few days and had a terrible reaction.  I lost control of my emotions.  I would start crying hysterically uncontrollably for no reason then immediately flip to laughing hysterically.  It was awful.  I was crying and laughing so hard I had to lay down.  I've taken a lot of antidepressants over the years and never had anything like this happen.  It was a horrible feeling and didn't help my depression either."


"I am on my third day of Belviq.  It seems to be working for suppressing my appetite.  I read a lot of reviews before taking it and I have noticed some of the common side effects (not sure if it's just because I read it that I'm thinking I'm feeling it).  I have had some dizziness, super thirsty, some heat flashes, tired... But I do like the fact that it suppresses my appetite.  I've been eating healthier and working out a lot so I will weigh in two weeks.  My start date was 3/10/16 at 217lbs."


"Used along with Prozac (Fluoxetine) helped Anorexia Nervosa symptoms."


"This is like my 5th review and still no complaints.  I started taking phentermine 30 mg on 2/1/14 with a start weight of 215lbs. 12 weeks later on 4/26/14 I weighed 182.5lbs (32.5 LB loss). Then I got off of it for a week because I felt I had built up a tolerance. I did eat some extra carbs during this week and worked out but I remained the same weight.  Then on 5/3/14 I got back on it (so this is my first week back on) after only 5 days I've dropped to 177lbs. That's 38 LBS in almost 14 weeks! I think cycling off of it was very beneficial and I might even cycle off after shorter periods of 3-4 weeks ON and 1 week OFF. I haven't had any side effects and I'm still very pleased with my progress."


"Makes me sneeze every time, and is scented which is irritating and may even be the cause of the sneezing.

Despite that, I persist in its use as its moisturizing gel properties are entirely effective."


"I have suffered from cold sores since I was 3 months old. I'm now 25, I suffered bad cold sores with anything that I was emotional over. The big one is stress. My problem was I always missed the tingle, I would go to bed fine and wake up the next day with my whole bottom lip swollen, full of blisters. Over time it progressed to my cheek. Above my eyebrow, my chin and all my glands would swell. One day I woke up and couldn't open my eye. I had blisters all over my eyelid and it was completely swollen from my forehead down my cheek and the area in between. I was on every medicine. I was put on Valtrex 500mg and for the last 3 yrs and I have had very little breakouts and severity has decreased. Only side effect was dry skin but wont stop me taking it, never felt so confident."


"I've been on the pill for about a year and 1 month now. This is my first birth control and I got on it because my periods were horrible and extremely heavy and also because I entered a serious relationship. I was fine up until the half year mark until I had spotting for 12 days before getting my real period 4 days late. Now I still have breakthrough bleeding right after ovulation which always causes me to freak out. Other than that the pill is fine. I actually lost weight on this pill, and I cant gain weight anything past 108. My sex drive is sometimes affected it takes a while for me to get into the mood and my boyfriend is supportive of it. Its just the darn spotting that irritates me."


"I have been taking mononessa for almost 3 years, and I haven't had any problems taking these pills.
I can recommend mononessa because I haven't been pregnant, its good"


"I get cold sores maybe once or twice a year. I keep valtrex on hand and if I take it quick enough when I have the feeling one is coming on, it won't even appear, if I wake up and I have the tingly feeling on my lip and I take it, it will reduce it significantly.when  you feel the tingling make sure you take the full dose not just one. Also the cold sore healing patches by polysporin are amazing! If you get a full out cold sore and put these on It will shrink it almost down to nothing."


"I have been having migraines for 3 years. I took a beta blocker that didn't work. Then got put on Depakote for migraines. I was on it for a month with no big migraines unless I had my trigger food. Then I realized I gained 5 pounds, was tried all the time and broke out like I had never been before. Medicine works for migraines but has terrible side effects. Had to stop taking"


"It has helped me quite a bit, although it doesn't seem to have antidepressant effects.  It's definitely helping me "think" better - I'm not confused anymore."


"Side effects are horrible. Fatigue,dizziness,foggy head,aching muscles & burning toes."


"I was just increased to 1500 mg a day of Neurontin for Chronic Back Pain and Fibromyalgia.  I can tell that it takes the sharp edge off of the pain.  It does help a little, but a little is better than nothing. "


"Overall an exceptional medicine with perfect symptom control UNTIL I received the generic put out by a manufacturer in INDIA. Symptoms returned immediately, and pharmacy replaced the remaining pills immediately on reporting my experience.

"


"I have been on Rexulti .5mg now for over a month. I suffer from major depression and ptsd. I have tried over 30 different medications over the last 15 years and have either had no relief or terrible side effects. I also take 100mg of Zoloft. I no longer feel empty inside, I feel like I have some hope. I do have vivid dreams but I can handle that if it makes me feel so much better during the day. After many many years I may finally have gotten the right combo of meds. Good luck to all"


"I have struggled for years with what I thought was just a problem with controlling my hunger, I would never eat around anyone and then once everyone was asleep I was starved. I finally seen a psychiatrist for my ADD symptoms and while he was modifying my medication he diagnosed me with binge eating disorder. To my surprise he was right. I had no control. I had always bounced on diets. He started me on Topamax 25mg and I knew instantly it will work. It has a calming affect. I feel so full and I am going to bed without eating for the first time in years. I am very thankful. Not every medication is for everyone.  I am pleased with this one so far."


"I have been taking Seroquel XR 800mg for almost 11 years. Before this I was taking low dose regular Seroquel for many years. It really helps me manage my schizoaffective disorder. I am also taking a doctors prescribed antihistamine hydroxyzine 50mg because I get hives while on seroquel XR. I have noticed male breast growth and hard glandular breast tissue build up under my breast during this year. I am also experincing breast pain. I am on a calorie restricted diet and have been exercising and lifting weights regularly for the past 10 years and have gained 5lbs to 10lbs in weight. I have low body fat and can do 70 push ups in a row easily so its not body fat."


"I was suffering from nocturnal anxiety attacks for several months, but Xanax helps me get a good night's rest most of the time.  0.5 mg gets me to sleep, but 1 mg knocks me out for the whole night.  I do not find that I wake up groggy or experience any other side effects, although I am wary about withdrawal symptoms.  It's a great medicine overall though!"


"The doctor put me on Ogestrel because I made the mistake of telling him that my period never started when the white pills started on my previous birth control. However they did come every month so it wasn't a big deal to me. He put me Ogestrel because it was the highest dose to give. After the first month I thought I was going crazy. I had absolutely NO control over my emotions. Not to mention it led to constant chest pains. I have a mitrovalve prolapse. Most birth controls says not to take it if you have a valve problem but I've been on them since I was 16 and never had any problems. My fiance and my mom couldn't stand my rapid changing emotions and she told me I don't care what the doctor says COME OFF THEM. No problems since I changed back to my old one."


"I've been on Alesse for three months now, half way through third pack. I've been been getting my period half way threw the active pills. This has been happening ever month like clock work. It usually ends around the time I start taking the sugar pills. I'm curious if this is happening to anyone else."


"I decided to get this because I get irregular menstrual cycles that go from no period to Red Wedding (Game of Throne Fans will get this) like cycles. Some days I would have to call out of work. Anyway...all the doctors gave a good hype about this Minerva. I have a high tolerance for pain and had a child - the insertion hurt!!! I've had this evil thing in me since June (almost 4 months) and the bleeding won't stop. I'm buying pads by the bulk, and went to my dermatologist due to acne! They make it seem as if "spotting " is ok but after two months of constant spotting you begin to wonder- "why did I get this".  I also still get my periods and they last even longer! My moods go from 0-100 like the speed of LIGHT. I'M HAVING IT REMOVED ASAP"


"I have been using this pill for a month now just today starting my second pack. So far this first month I experienced was a little bit of nausea & a lot of pelvic pain & it made me sooo hungry! but no weight gain.  I was taking this pill to help me with my horrible heavy bleeding, cyst & horrible cramps but my period this month has been the worst one yet. my cramps are horrible, the bleeding is just as heavy & i'm not passing clots! i'm not sure if it is not helping yet because it's barley my first month ? but the clot part freaked me out a bit."


"I've been taking gabapentin for a year for severe anxiety social anxiety and it has been wonderful. I'm a very worrisome person so when I take this medicine I feel more at ease without feeling sedated. I find it funny my Dr said they don't generally use this medicine for anxiety but it works for me and apparently a lot more people then she made it seem. "


"I was a smoker for over 20 years.  For the last ten years I was a relatively light smoker, about 1/2 pack a day.  I had tried at least four serious attempts at quitting smoking.  The lozenges were very effective and I did completely quit smoking.  I have not smoked in over two years and feel very happy about that.  However, I am now addicted to the lozenges themselves.  I have taken about five a day for two years!  I truly do believe it is still better than smoking.  However, I have had some recent health problems and suspect the lozenges may be part of the problem.  I quit them yesterday.  I feel extremely cranky, but determined."


"After having a horrible reaction to a SSRI ,celexa in my case. My dr put me on bupropion 150 XL. Wow I have so much energy only been 3 days on but already losing weight. Enjoying hiking again working on truck and way more intense on playing video games. Seems as if I'm getting my life back. However I go through these foggy periods. They only last about a hour and I feel normal again even giddy. I honestly look forward to my next dose which is a little worrying but I don't abuse any medication so I'm not to worried lol if that makes sense."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I was given this prep when I tried to get a colonoscopy for the 2nd time. The first time I was prescribed moviprep and I kept throwing it up. It was terrible tasting and so much liquid to drink. Because I couldn't keep it down I had to reschedule the colonoscopy. Moviprep made me incredibly sick to my stomach.

My doctor gave me suprep in hopes that would work better and it certainly did. It does taste like cherry cough medicine but only is 16 oz to drink at a time. I read other reviews and mixed mine with half Gatorade frost and half water. Let's be real, no prep is going to taste decent. I would recommend just chugging it down.

I had no nausea but it might have helped that I took a Dramamine about 45 minutes before each dose."


"I'm only 21 and have been smoking since I was 18, it is just not for me and I wanted to quit smoking especially for my daughter. I didn't want a cigarette the first day I took it. It definitely beats going cold turkey. I plan to stay smoke free for the rest of my life."


"After about 5 months on this pill large amount of my hair started falling out over two weeks. My period also stopped completely for the 5 months. I have stopped taking the pill. Here is hoping things get back to normal."


"The bad reviews sound awful. I have taken this antibiotic several times and have no adverse reaction. I am currently on 300mg 2x daily and it kicks but on the infection. I recommend for those who can take it."


"I have been suffering from pmdd for years. It has had a tremendous impact on my relationships. Every month around that time I just wanted to leave my marriage. I was irritable beyond understanding and felt like punching something if I got angry. I would cry at the drop of a hat. I just wanted to be alone. I tried exercise, diet and natural remedies but it was never enough. I felt like I had a ball of metal in my stomach. I would scream and yell and get upset if you looked at me the wrong way. It was horrible. On zoloft I feel calm and stable. I have had no side effects. It has been a saving grace. My kids and husband are amazed. Thumbs up for zoloft. It saved me."


"I was given Lyrica for diabetic neuropathy. After about 10 days, I started to hallucinate. I was in a terrible way. I have to say, it did help with the pain, but the side effects, for me anyway, were pretty horrific."


"Works well, no side effects."


"I have yet to finish my first month of Junel Fe and am wondering if starting birth control was the right decision for me. I have gained six pounds in less than three weeks and have experienced more breakouts than all of last year combined. I'm experiencing acne on my forehead and upper back. I feel emotional but nothing too out of the ordinary, but the weight gain and acne makes me feel insecure even though the acne is still probably considered mild and I am told you cannot notice the weight gain. I have had spotting for the last two weeks, starting off as bright red and cramps and has turned into dark brown without cramps. I have nothing to compare this birth control to and I fear that nothing will change and no other brand will be better."


"About a year and a half ago I went into the doctor for what they called a uti, that then later was a yeast infection.  this went on for months until I couldn't take it. They finally tested me which later was actually chlamydia. Finally a real diagnosis. During this time my vagina was very swollen and I had a spot that's been there for some time. I thought it was a scar  as it had never changed but during the swollen period this spot seemed bigger. I've asked several doctors about this spot over time. None were worried. The other day I went into the doctor to have to have it checked she first told me it was a cyst. Now she says it is  Genital warts. I went to get a second opinion they confirmed. I've had diarrhea and some upper respiratory problems"


"I'm 49 with no major Erectile Dysfunction, but occasionally can't get an erection. Typically performance anxiety. I got Viagra for occasional use. I got a special pill cutter to cut my 50mg in half. I took it when we went out for dinner (1 drink only) and when we got home (on hour later) we began to play around then the "magnificent" appeared; 20 minutes and several orgasms later we were spent. Viagra will turn you a stud. I highly discourage it for regular use, maybe once a month and only 25mg if you don't have erectile dysfunction. "


"I have been living with chronic knee and back pain since 1982 with having a total of 13 right and left knee surgeries.  I have degenerative joint disease throughout, the sacral vertebra in my spine have fused together and have injury in my back. I have been on multiple pain medications over the years and this medication helps me get through the day along with Flexerill. I have quit taking it for several months on end so I don't get addicted and did not have any side effects or withdrawal symptoms.  I did have high levels of pain, but anyone who lives with a chronic condition like ours understands this.  I have a great doctor who works with me trying to control it."


"I took Aviane for one year.  It certainly did what it was supposed to do--I never got pregnant--and I actually lost about 12 pounds while I was on it (although that might have been more due to lifestyle changes).  However, this pill turned me into an emotional wreck. I suddenly began to have bad PMS (which had never been a problem before), and the rest of the month I experienced unpredictable mood swings, BAD anxiety and extreme irritability (the brunt of most of which was borne by my unfortunate boyfriend).  I stopped taking Aviane in August, and my mood improved drastically, and stabilized.  I've been wary of going back on hormonal birth control, but since IUDs aren't an option financially, I'm trying again with Microgestin 1/20."


"I have Bipolar 1 and I started taking Latuda 20mg and didn't feel too much to begin with other than it was easier to get up in the morning, then I went up to 40mg and started really feeling amazing improvements. I used to suffer from extreme paranoid thoughts, had little cognitive ability, was constantly having panic attacks and felt extremely depressed, didn't sleep yet was barely awake during the day and was basically just sluggish and useless. On Latuda I can get up in the morning, I sleep at night, my paranoid thoughts a greatly reduced, my panic attacks have more than halved, I can actually think, I'm not too sleepy and depressed to look after myself and after two years of being disinterested in everything I feel enthusiastic again!"


"I have had Bipolar Disorder/Personality Disorder and severe depression for about 30 years and have tried just about every medicine there is. A recent set-back had me in hospital: my Dr. decided to put me on Seroquel XR 400 mg along with my other medicines. In the beginning it seemed  to help me, as time went on my symptoms of low mood suicidal thoughts, etc. came back...most important to note was the WEIGHT GAIN. In under a year almost 50 lbs for no real reason. Extreme fatigue and sleepiness-hard to get out of bed in the mornings! Am now reducing dosage to slowly get off it as per Dr.'s orders and switching to an alternative. I am hoping this will work."


"I've suffered from anxiety disorder for years and have tried several different medications like Xanax and Klonopin but they made me too drowsy. Ativan works well and has very little sedating effect."


"Makes me feel extreme fatigue and cravings for sugar are too much. Not really sure its working for me."


"I am a 14 year old girl and last year when in 8th grade I found out I was ADD. My doctor prescribed me Vyvanse. At first it took me a couple weeks to find out what worked for me (when to take it, eat first or after etc.). My grades at the time were horrible and they went up after I started taking Vyvanse. I have had a few of the side effects (dry mouth, loss of appetite, weight loss etc.) but this medication helps me focus a lot more."


"me and my boyfriend have been on contracts for 1 week I am down 4 lbs him 6! We have noticed we don't even think about snacking anymore and we have to make ourselves eat something . He has had no side effects I was nauseated a couple times but it didn't last long! Can't wait to see what the results are after a month!"


"I have only been on this pill for a week, however I already want to switch. I had acne problems before this pill and I thought by going on this I could kill to birds with one stone; clear up my acne and prevent pregnancy. But I cannot wait for this pack to be over so I can switch. Within the first day my acne got 10x worse and it's only been a week but it's worse than it's ever been in the last year! I don't even want to look in the mirror. I haven't noticed any other side effects yet but I won't be surprised if there's more negative ones to come."


"After 9 months of horrible psychotic-type itching I finally was able to see a dermatologist who I believe has correctly identified the cause.  He believes I have eczema.  The stress level following a whole spine surgery probably caused the condition to surface and begin its damage.  I started taking Benadryl on my own and it helped a lot.  When he added the H2 blocker (Zantac) it has all but disappeared.  Wonderful!  Thank you so much!"


"I have been having severe pain due to an infection in my cheek from my wisdoms. I went to the Emergency because it was on a weekend that I experienced this pain and was prescribed T3's and Amoxicillin for the infection. After taking 2 T3's and waiting an hour, the pain still seems to be throbbing. I don't know if it works for different people or what, but I am for sure disappointed and frustrated"


"This medication helps more than anything I have tried I have severe angina. I do recommend this as treatment."


"I got one shot, September 2013. its now almost January 2014 and I haven't stopped bleeding in over a year! "


"I had Mirena put in after my second child. I don't notice any of the side effects listed. The only thing I am worried about is anxiety. I've been dealing with anxiety since what seems like when I had it put in. My periods are extremely light (panty liners only) but last more days than before having Mirena."


"First colonoscopy so I have nothing to compare it to, but I found my experience better than a lot of these reviews. My suprep was a cherry flavour (like others, it doesn't mention the flavour anywhere on the bottle) with a bitter aftertaste. Upon first chug, didn't seem so bad, but it built pretty quickly. I can definitely see how others might throw this up. I chugged about 3oz at a time, stopping for a few minutes each time and sipping some yellow Gatorade to wash away the flavour. I felt a bit nauseated, but the breaks helped to calm it down a bit. The prep worked within 45 minutes each time, and as long as you followed the soft diet and then liquid diet instructions, it's really not bad. It might save your life, so just get 'er done."


"I have had the Implanon for a year now and really like it.  I only had one period about a week after insertion and haven't had one since.  When I was on the pill I had mood swings so I switched to the Implanon. I haven't had any problems with mood swings since.  Also, not having to remember to take a pill everyday is a big advantage.  The only bad thing is I had a slight increase in acne, it is subsiding now.  This was only a minor annoyance to me in comparison to the good aspects.  Overall, I am very pleased with the Implanon and glad I switched from the pill."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I have had Neulasta shots twice so far, the day after my chemo.  My white count is staying in the normal range, so Neulasta is doing it's job!  I get headaches, fever stays about 100.5 & I just feel crummy for a few days.  My doctor's office recommends Claritin, starting the day of chemo, to avoid the "bone aches" Neulasta frequently causes & I haven't experienced that symptom yet.  I take Tylenol to help the fever, but I also have been experiencing very bad insomnia- not sure if that's the chemo or Neulasta, but when you feel crummy, you WANT to sleep.

NOTE: My doctor's office forgot about the co-pay discount until after my 2nd shot, so I hope I don't have to pay for that "oops"!"


"My girlfriend, while under the influence of Lunesta, sat up while dreaming she was bring raped...screaming at the top of her voice uncontrollably. I turned to hold and console her and she bit into my wrist without letting go for about 30 seconds. She was crazy delusional and incoherent. I am totally scared and traumatized by the experience. This is a dangerous drug. I told her to get off Lunesta and learn to sleep 6-8 hours like a normal person by listening to your body and balancing your life."


"This works as birth control because you won't ever have sex on it since you'll bleed all month long and you'll have no sex drive."


"I tried the Butrans patch after many years of being on oxy or hydrocodone. The first week was great. The very first night I actually slept & woke up refreshed which I realized hadn't happened in years. After that it was a nightmare! The 2nd week I began to notice I was in more pain than I was before I started the Butrans patch and my right hand was waking me up about 3:30 am numb and feeling on fire and fought with that until I had to get up and go to work. I wasn't sure what was going on. By the 3rd week both my hands were waking me up numb and feeling on fire around 1:30 every night! I was exhausted and in much more pain than ever! I took the patch off and my symptoms are slowly subsiding. DO NOT TAKE THIS MED!!!!"


"Moodiness increased, sex drive lowered to the point where I didn't want anything to do with my partner, extremely emotional, painful periods and depressed. I've been off for about a month and feel so much better."


"Had a sinus infection for over a month, but didn't know it, because it started out as pain in my teeth.  Went to dentist on 2 seperate occassions within 2 weeks to have a check-up and x-rays.  X-rays revealed nothing wrong with my teeth.  Pain went to throat for 2 weeks and then my ear.  All on left-side.  Went to my PCP, who said my sinuses were almost completely closed.  I did not have any pain around eyes/nose at this point.  Put on Levaquin.  The pain has gotten worse!!  Has not helped me with my sinus infection.  In fact, I'm on day 6, and not only do I have pain in my teeth, ears, and throat still, but now it's traveled throughout my entire head!  The malaise I feel is horrible! Been mainly in bed for 5 days now! Horrible antibiotic!!"


"I switched to Celexa from Paxil (which I had been on for 7 years for anxiety). It's been 6 weeks and although the transition was smooth to 10 mg of Celexa, there's just one major problem for me..no sex drive. I'm a 25 year old female and also am on birth control (have been for 6 years) maybe its the combination of both the Celexa and birth control! I'm hoping this one side effect will go away because otherwise its a good drug."

"I started receiving the deposit injection 6 weeks after giving birth in 2011.  I had one normal period within that first month and haven't had another since. I didn't notice any side affects during the time I received this medication. I have recently decided to start trying to conceive and skipped my last dose due 3/6/15. Today is 7/13/15.Just within the last week I have had small amounts of bloody discharge. I'm nervous about how long it is going to take my body to get back on track. I can hardly wait to have another baby!  During the time I received the deposit injection it did exactly as promised. I will be getting it again after my next pregnancy."


"I have suffered from anxiety for most of my life. Over the years the stress of having a son, a demanding job made it worse. I thought my feelings were normal. Then about 4 years ago I started to feel angry all the time due to my stress and anxiety. I was prescribed prozac as I was told I was depressed. I refused to take the medication as I thought of the stigma. My racing thoughts, anxiety got worse. I finally recognized I needed help and took Zoloft. I can't believe what a difference it has made. I feel like my old self. Calm, loving and enjoying life again. It has made a huge difference in my marriage as I no longer feel so angry all the time."


"Had unprotected sex on 11th day of my cycle. Took this pill 34 hours after. The next day I felt mild cramps,  then the following days I felt bloated. Two weeks after,  my period came,  the color of rust and very light for 4 days along with intermittent cramps.  It stopped for two days then came back for another two days, same annoying rusty color.  This pill gave me mild yeast infection, I think and acne too. I wish you luck ladies."


"For two months now, Depakote ER has cured my migraines, which were occurring approximately two to three times a week, lasting between one to three days each.  I had some of the blurred vision and trembling side effects, but the worst has been the weight gain, 10 pounds in two months, when I normally never, ever gain weight.  I suppose given the choice, I'll choose the weight gain. Wish I didn't have to choose."


"I started my medication on thanksgiving day, today is December 6th and I've lost 4 pounds! I'm also eating better and doing cardio. I hope it keeps working and that I'm able to lose most of my weight. As far as side effects I haven't experienced any side effects so far."


"25 year old female taking 3mg of Intuniv.

I started Intuniv while I was unemployed. It does really help with my focus, keeps me from being super hyper and helped my blood pressure. During this time I would take a lot of naps during the day or even just sleep in till noon. I thought it was just me liking naps and having not much to do during the day. Well I started a new job a month ago and have been falling asleep at my desk. I thought it was another medicine but it did turn out to be my Intuniv.

So my doctor is having me go down and see if lower doses will help or not. If not he will be putting me on another medicine. I also tried not taking it for a couple of days, but it caused withdrawal symptoms at the end of day 2."


"I take methadone tablets at 10 milligrams once 3 times a day for severe chronic leg and nerve pain and it gives me all day relief. It makes you a little drowsy but at night time there is nothing better to help you fall asleep easier. All I have to say is thank goodness for it.. because I've tried it all from Percocets to Oxy's from Lyrica and Opana and this really works."


"On pain patch 3 years and lowered from 10 mg to 5 mg. Did this to stop the use of this drug. It works great for about first year then other issues start. Poor sleep, withdrawal after 5th day, won't last 7 days. When I stopped it I had legs and arm spasming to point of not walking, also lack of energy, and tired for about three weeks, depression, lack of interest in anything. Don't start if you can avoid it.."


"I've had several surgeries and was administered Dilaudid and had horrible side effects during and after use so for my most recent surgery I asked for an alternative and the surgeon gave me Toradol which enabled me to get out of bed with no pain and walk hours after surgery. The use is limited due to risk of liver damage but it is a good alternative to opiates."


"So I started the shot on July 20, 2017 and the day after I had my period which I thought was normal because my period is usually around that time. But then it didn't go away! At first it started off normally then after 4 days it started to get lighter and I thought it was just about to go away, NOPE!! I was spotting for about 2 weeks. I finally went away for about a week and there it was again. Its September 13 and I'm still spotting. I've been bleeding nonstop for so long and is so annoying, I've done research and talked to other girls and heard what they had to say about when they got there first shot and they said they bled too 3,4 or 6mo! going to get my next shot which will be next month but if the bleeding is continuously then I quit!"


"It works for me, my insurance does cover some of it but since it is not generic I have to pay almost the whole thing.."


"I am permanently disabled due to brain surgery leaving me with a condition called occipital neuralgia (headaches 24/7).  Opana is a wonder drug for me.  I tried every single other treatment I could find, from physical cures, psychological cures, to every other narcotic available.  It is now time for me to get off of the drug because my body has finally become used to this pain enough where I hope that I do not need drugs for the rest of my life.  Right now I am taking Opana 40mg ER X 4 = 160mg ER and Opana 10mg X 4 = 40mg per day.  My total Opana consumption daily is 200mg.  I just finally got up enough guts to ask my doctor to cut my dosage back so I am going to try to cut the Opana 40mg ER down to Opana 30mg ER X 4 = 120mg ER."


"My dentist prescribed Vicoprofen for pain following a tooth extraction that wasn't healing well. I am 30 and pretty healthy, took it at dinner. Was up all night throwing up. Felt dizzy, confused and anxious. Horrible. Didn't help the pain any either."


"Insertion was not bad.  I recommend getting Mirena inserted while bleeding, as the cervix is open.

First 6 months spotting off and on.  Then following months just light period around my cycle time.  No weight gain.  Not to much hair thinning.  Overall, I think Mirena is a great choice for long and effective birth control."


"I started taking apri because I was trying to do fertility treatments. The first day I took it I was fine but I felt really warm after taking it. The second day I took it I still felt warm when taking it. I went to work and was very nauseous. I ended up vomiting all day while at work. I could barely stand up my stomach hurt so bad. So I quit taking it. My stomach hurt for 3 days after that. Now i am supposed to be ovulating and have seemed to come on my period again but a lighter color than usual and much lighter. But I was just on a week ago."


"I am not happy with reclipsen. I have gained a ton of weight in the last 3 months I have been on it, I get super nauseous in the mornings, and I have one extremely bad migraine on the last day of the pills. I changed to reclipsen because my other BC was giving me headaches. Now I'm fat and have zero sex drive. I am going to stop reclipsen asap."


"I was dignosed 2 years ago with hearing loss related tinnitus. The hissing was so loud I could not sleep. I tried masking devices, supplements, etc and nothing worked. My doctor prescribed Xanax to relax me enough to get some rest at night. After 2 nights, the hissing subsided during the day. Now some days I have little or no head noise. I  continue to take Xanax with no side effects except being a little tired in the afternoon. Please try this medicine if your tinnitus is interfering with your life. Talk to your doctor about dosage."


"I cut my finger on a piece of metal under the seat of my car and developed a skin infection. Had the infection drained, but was also prescribed Bactrim twice a day for 10 days. After 2 days I saw my finger start healing up and within the 10 days it was completely healed. I only experienced mild nausea and some insomnia. Other than that it did a great job! Very satisfied."


"This med made him permanently impotent."


"I just got out of a bad relationship where sex was bad and never happened. I started dating a new beautiful girlfriend and was afraid and had performance anxiety. The first time (sex) was bad and I couldn't get it up and I thought I would lose her. I went to the doctor, gave me Cialis, and went out on a small vacation with her. I was a champ! Never had sex this good and she was amazed, we are currently very in love and going to get married. Thanks Cialis!"


"I've always had a few pimples here and there but this year my skin FREAKED OUT. I started getting cystic acne on my cheeks and I begged my mom to take me to the dermatlogist. Initially he prescribed Atralin which didn't help. It burned my skin and I would cry because it hurt so bad. I used it for maybe a month until things got worse. I started taking birth control around this time too and that also was a terrible experience. I got huge whiteheads on my chin everyday in clusters. I was so depressed. I would cry all the time and I hated looking in the mirror. Finally I went back and my derm said to try Epiduo and my skin looks amazing! I also take birth control and Spiro and I think the combination is perfection! Time is key."


"I like this pill. It's helped me maintain clear skin for the most part (still break out during that time of the month) and I haven't gained weight. Been on this pill for 3 years. At the very beginning, I did experience horrible mood swings though, it took some months to get used to. Other than that I'm satisfied with Sprintec. Not life changing but it's overall good."


"I took Diane-35 for six months but decided to switch to Yaz as Diane-35's side effects were too much for me (bloating and intense migraines) although it did totally clear up my skin. Also side note, birth control affects everyone differently, my sister for example took it for her acne too, it did wonders and she had no side effects at all!

I have am on my third packet of Yaz. I must say my skin has gone a little nuts. I am getting quite bad breakouts. But I have decided to wait it out a bit. From reading online I've noticed most people don't see any good improvement on their skin until the end of the third month. And apart from some tiredness I haven't really had any other side effects. Fingers crossed it helps sort out my skin."


"Not effective as oxycodone"


"This medicine was given to me for a bacterial infection that I had from a abscess on my butt. It did help rid the infection but I had almost every possible side effects that comes with this medicine. I had a loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting whenever I would try to eat or right after and whenever I would attempt to take another pill. I also had crazy thoughts or hallucinations not sure what was going on. I couldn't sleep, couldn't stand for longer than a few seconds without get dizzy. I almost passed out in the shower every day. I had really bad fevers that would go back and forth all day. I could go on but I'll be all day. I was told to stop taking it once I developed a bad diaper rash. It works but it may not be worth all the side effect"


"I took Viagra 50mg for several years and it was fantastic.  Then insurance company changed coverage and would only pay for Cialis.  Followed the Dr and drug company instruction to cut 20mg in half and use that. Two hours later, and with the proper "motivation" it wasn't kicking in.  Didn't kick in until the next morning, and I'm not 100% sure it was the pill.  Bottom line, Cialis seems to kick in at unpredictable times, while viagra was a guarantee 60-90 minute fun time"


"I have been on and off Victoza for a few years now.  I had the really bad gastrointestinal side effects the first time I started it and milder side effects each time I stop and restart.  I never get much above 1.2 before I start getting life-changing insomnia.  I am not positive it's due to the Victoza, but it goes away when I stop it and starts when I restart.  Very frustrating.  However, my blood sugar rarely goes above 100 anymore and I am down about 30 pounds from when I started taking it.  It's really minimal weight loss over two years but the effect it has on my Type 2 Diabetes is astounding.  Now I'm just struggling to find the right dose so I can get some sleep.  Any advice would be appreciated."


"I had 1/2 of my thyroid removed.  The synthroid and levothroid left a taste of aluminum in my mouth.  I was nauseous and fatigued.  I asked my dr. for armour, but my insurance didn't cover that so he prescribed nature-throid.  I love it.  I thought it didn't work at first.  I thought that you could eat with it, but come to find out, you have to take it 30 min before or 2 hrs. after you eat.  I take it on an empty stomach with a full glass of water and have no problems at all.  Very good medicine.  65 mg for me.  My insurance just sent a notice they won't cover it any more, but I will protest it or pay out of pocket.  I cannot do the synthroid or Levathroid....never."


"Was treated on 3/5/2016. The injection of Synvisc-One was painless and I felt immediate relief in my knee. Now, just hours later, I notice a greater range of motion for my leg and almost no pain in the knee joint."


"For me the side effects greatly outweighed the benefits since I didn't feel any benefits. This medicine might be effective for the treatment of something. However bi-polar/depression not so much. Not a whole lot of fun when you stop taking it either."


"I was prescribed this drug for both pain and sleep due to severe osteoarthritis 20 mg 2 - 3 hours before bed to help  me sleep and also 7.5mg of Zopiclone (lunesta) to be taken only if unable to sleep after 2 hours. This combination works wonders after weaning off this drug 3 weeks later the pain and insomnia returned and after 1 week of only 2 hrs sleep a night I am now back on Amitriptyline was tried on gabapentin as well but that had no added benefit but that caused weight gain and water retention"


"Took Clindamycin for 10 days for a severe parotiditis which occured after using a hot tub. Within days of finishing the dosage, I got a black and brownish thick fuzzy tongue extending to the back of my throat. This is day 25 after the start of Clindamycin and my tongue is still discolored and fuzzy but it's pretty much subsided. Also last Wednesday I developed a pleurisy in my left chest with severe pain radiating under the arm, no shortness of breath or problem with vital signs. Today, still have some pain on taking a deep breath.  Also with this medicine I developed a severe diarrhea around day 8 of the dosage and that too had subsided within a week. Drug did take care of my extremely swollen parotid gland and some incidental sore joints."


"Oh man, this stuff works. I was on 10mg for about 5 years! My new doctor had me stop cold turkey about 3 years ago. I grew a tolerance to it and I was addicted to it. My old doctor prescribed it, after my mom died, when I was 18. I puked after taking my first dose. It made me so dizzy, it was weird. After that first time, it never happened again. The only side effect was that I'd wake up and eat without knowing it. I recall my sister saying that I had gotten up and cooked a hamburger, ate it, and went back to bed without saying a word to her. It seems to be a common side effect, though. It was great help, but I'm so glad to be off of it for good. I take Diphenhydramine to sleep when I need to."


"Abilify at 2mg has felt like my depression is finally under control.  However the weight gain has been a difficult one to accept and am going to try to go down to 1mg to see if that makes a difference.  I started out at about 124 and am now 131 with watching everything I eat and exercising hard 3-4 times a week.  Doesn't seem to matter if I eat very little.  Still can't lose the weight.  I don't like this side effect but it far outweighs the depression I have felt for years so may have to put up with it.  I am very hungry in between meals and crave sweets.  Will power has been tested and so far I am passing because I have never had a weight problem in my life and don't want to start now."


"I am a 51 year old female with 3 kids, I started Qysmia Sept. 9 at 198 lbs and have lost 19 lbs as of today, Oct. 12.  I know initially you loose more because it is mostly water, but now I have leveled off and I am loosing the healthy 2 lbs/week.  I have tried so many diets, nothing has worked like this.  The only side effect I have felt is very occasionally the tingling in my feet.  Not only am I not "wound up" from this med, I have never been so calm, I'm finally seeing results for all the effort and I am not frustrated.  Appetite is way down, I eat about 1200 calories or less a day, have plenty of energy, and drink LOTS of fluid, 30 lbs to go! Can't wait!  Definitely would recommend Qysmia to the extremely overweight or obese."


"Had nexplanon for little over 6 months and I recently got it taken out due to me bleeding for those 6 months. I hated it. I was very emotional. I would cry for no reason. Plus I had horrible headaches."


"I started taking Cymbalta earlier this year for my anxiety. I found it really helped, but I didn't want to stay on it for long. I had a few side effects while being on Cymbalta such as night sweats, trouble sleeping and electric pulses through my body. Whilst gradually lowering my doses of Cymbalta these side effects did get a little worse, however they have completely gone now. I started lowering my doses in June, and now by the end of August the night sweats have completely stopped, my sleeping is back to normal, and the electric pulses are very rare. When I think about getting worried or anxious now, I just remember that its not a big deal and that if I was on Cymbalta I wouldn't have even thought about it."


"I just started taking this medication 4 days ago  to prevent infection from wisdom tooth extraction surgery. It has been making me extremely tired and I never had this problem. Today I slept for a total of 17 hours and the first day a total of 14 hours. I have never felt so tired in my life. I have no energy and have had a migraine all day."


"I had used this medication for more than 15 years, before it stopped preventing my chronic migraine headaches.  I was taking it up to 2000 mg per: night daily and didn't have any side effects of it since the very beginning of taking it (in lower dose, of course) and even when took max dose as described.

 Had a very easy adjusting to it, also and no unpleasanties whatsoever."


"I've been on Rexulti 1 mg for a year after being on Abilify for a year or longer taken off because it didn't work and I gain a lot of weight. I feel more depressed (crying for no reason), no energy and I am having more anxiety attacks. I have also gained 20 more pounds. I want off. I am also on Fetzima and Klonapin."


"Rozerem has been very effective for my sleep-onset issues with little side effect. However, some days I feel extremely tired (sleepy) throughout the day at random points. This severity of sleepiness really only seems to occur the day after I have taken Rozerem (I do not take it every night if I can help it). "


"It's better in a smaller dose for me for my back painas bigger doses  almost makes me feel drunk"


"I am taking darvocet for an ovarian cyst.  I have been on it before and has done nothing to relieve any pain I am having."


"I started this birth control after giving birth to my son. I've had great experiences on it. Since I've started taking it I've lost a total of 42lbs, my appetite seems to have decreased. My periods are short and not horrible like I used to have while taking ortho tricyclen."


"I've got severe anxiety and panic attacks. I've been using lorazepam/avitan for a couple years now to help stop my panic attacks. I can always count on it to work. Last night my anxiety was through the roof. My mind wouldn't stop racing, my chest hurt, and it felt like I was being stabbed in the gut repeatedly. I want to cry but I knew if I did I would for sure have an attack and wasn't sure if I could cope right since I was home alone. I keep a vial of my prescription on my keys and took one tablet. In about half an hour I no longer felt like I was dying and was able to get some rest a little after that. I think if I didn't have this med I would have ended up at the hospital last night."


"I was on Sprintec birth control that was great and then my pharmacy switched me to Estarylla. I started taking it and I have been so nauseous and vomited twice last night. I also had to stop my work out at the gym because I thought I was going to pass out or vomit. I do not recommend taking this BC if it has any of the same effects as it did to me!"


"30 now, been losing slowly since age 20. It got to a point where I felt I had to do something. Went on the heavy stuff propecia directly but it completely destroyed me in 8 days! Still haven't recovered completely now 1,5 years later. Thought I might as well give minoxidil a chance. Lost a ridiculous amount of hair fist weeks but after about 3 moths the results were showing. Now a year later there is no doubt it is doing its job! My hair line is distinct and my hair is a lot and I mean a lot thicker!"


"Gradually dry cough increased to heavy coughing especially at night after one week of taking"


"If I could give this drug a 0 I would. I have never had such a severe reaction in my life. It was so bad I ended up not only in the ER from the reaction but also at the eye doctors as it caused my entire eye to turn bright red, swell and lost vision temporarily in it. This medication also caused me severe joint pain, shoulder pain, and leg/severe calf pain."


"I've just started Yasmin. I was on Diane-35 last year, then stopped, but the water weight didn't seem to go away and I had cellulite, that I had never had before Diane-35. In 9 days, I've lost about 2kg. My mood seems fine so far. Have to visit bathroom more often. The best thing - I'm about a cup size up, from B to about C now. It's fantastic and I cannot wait for my boyfriend to see them! Diane-35 made me feel awkward and out-of-place, because of the sudden water weight on legs, bottom, arms, tummy, etc, but I feel so light on Yasmin.
Yasmin gave me back my flat tummy (I had some bloating problems).

First month in and it's been fantastic. Cannot stop looking in the mirror. "


"I used this after a condom split- was very worried as I was a week away from my period! Ordered this and took it about 1 and 1/2 to  two hours after sex. Period came on time and I'm not pregnant. Please don't worry- I stressed myself out loads but if you took it within about 8 hours the chance of you being pregnant is absolutely miniscule. No side effects for me!"


"Everything others report here is true. Flurazepam is infinitely better than any of the "equivalents" my doctors made me try due to worries about "half life," etc. But I've been taking Flurazepam since the days when it was Dalmane, and it is a life-saver. No hangover or loss of alertness next day. A sure sleep the following night -- what my wife and I call the "dead cat bounce" -- and no side effects. I almost never take it two nights in a row so as to avoid tolerance buildup, but with the dead cat bounce one doesn't really need to. This is an old-fashioned medication that is still ahead of its time."


"Best birth control ever.... Lost weight and help with cramps doing period"


"Finally, after being reduced from 100mg to 75 mg to 50 mg, it was working great. Then on 50mg I started getting dizzy spells that lasted a week. They just came out of the blue.  Went to the gym in winter and was getting dizzy after workout. Lowered to 25 mg...was still working and no dizzy spells but I was still having mind body functioning problems. My doctor switched me to Prozac. It is not helping the depression and 5mg makes me nervous and is not lifting the depression so back to the doctor to get put back on 25mg of Zoloft. I hope the 25mg starts to make me feel better. Yes, I fear if dosage is increased to 50mg the week long dizzy spells will come back. 50mg Zoloft was working so well."


"Zoloft is a life saver, I was depressed and suicidal since the sixth grade, and in 10th grade had a suicide attempt that ended me up in a hospital. About 2 months on Prozac,  which is horrible (for me), I was put on Zoloft 50mg and have recently been brought up to 200mg for depression and 1mg twice daily Xanax for anxiety and panic disorder. I was 16 when I started taking Zoloft and am 20 now, I still have some depression and anxiety but it is at a much lower level than before, and can actually talk to people and no longer feel like I am a complete failure and a nobody; I feel like I have a purpose to life!"


"I'm in my early 30's and never had a problem with depression or anxiety until I lost my mother to cancer 18 months ago.  I fell into a depression after that and my doctor prescribed me generic lexapro for short term depression ( as it has never been an issue).  I noticed within 2 weeks that I felt better...I had more energy, etc.. Not liking the idea of being on meds, I weaned off it after 6 months.. I still had withdrawal symptoms (electric shock feeling).  Well after that my husband left me and that combined with the loss of my mother was too much to bear. I was miserable. I only left the house to go to work and it was difficult to pull myself out of bed.  As soon as I got home I would throw on pj's and just lay on the couch. PAGE 1 of 2"


"I had the Implanon inserted 07/23/09 so its been around 3 months. I have nothing good to say about it. I have terrible acne break outs, I have had constant bleeding the whole time. I'm cramping nearly everyday, I have had nausea, hair loss, mood swings, weight gain, zero sex drive. I am getting out the 30th of September and going back to Yaz. "


"I need to take Cytotec (misoprostol) with it."


"I'm 27 never had kids, don't plan on having any. I was nervous about getting it put in since I've never had kids. I had it put in while I was on my period (told its easier). I'm not going to lie it hurt, had a lot of cramping. Felt a bit light headed. I'm glad my husband came with me to drive me home.  When I got home I just used a heating pad and took Tylenol and a nap. The next day mild cramping. Bleeding had stopped. And I would to it all over again. It's the best birth control for 5 yrs. And insurance covered it, only had to pay my copay. I would recommend Mirena to any of my friends."


"I've had a chronic migraine issue but this time was different. The pain and tightness in my brain was unbearable for 5 whole days so I finally made a trip to the ER after calling to find out my neurologist can't see me for 4 months. I wait 4 hours for a doctor and they decide to push in the IV, 10mg dexamethasone, 10mg prochloperazine, 50mg Benadryl, NACL 0.9% 1000ml @2000mL/hour, and then the 'satanic drug from hell', Ketorolac 30mg aka Toradol 30mg. the nurse started pushing Toradol & Omg! My arm was on fire,my body hurt, so uncomfortable so terrible! and I'm someone who's pulled out their own nail with no pain Meds. It numbs ur senses and makes u too aware at the same time, couldnt cry couldnt talk! Terrible! Didn't even manage the pain."


"Changed my life. After years of acne EVERYWHERE on my body, Claravis actually WORKED. I've been off for a month and have NO acne. I highly recommend taking the medication during the winter when there is little sun exposure to your sensitive skin. As Well as BLISTEX COMPLETE MOISTURE CHAPSTICK. Make sure you GET IT. It cured my dry/cut/bloody lips that was a side effect. Also, if your face is dry as well, I highly recommend Cerave lotion. BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"Beyaz was the third birth control pill I had tried. I was previously on Loestrin 24 (made me a raving lunatic), then on Lo Loestrin 10 (gave me no period at all, which made me uncomfortable and more susceptible to vaginal infections). I was skeptical about starting a new pill, but this one is wonderful! The only side effects I have are tender and enlarged breasts. I highly recommend it!"


"As everyone else that the pill has worked for the best advice I can give you all who are worrying and stressing is It will work be patient! I've taken plan b before and it worked after 8 days of me taking it. 2 weeks ago me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex and he decided he wanted to come in me and I'm not on any type of birth control. 30 minutes after this happening I took a plan b and just like my first time I received no symptoms or signs the pill was working but unlike last time with my period coming on in 8 days it took 13 days for my period to come on so almost two weeks it's the 1st and I'm supposed to get my period on the 7th so I got mine 6 days early so be patient and good luck to u all!"


"I have only been on Pristiq now for a week and I am so glad. I was hesitant because I suffer from major depression. I have tried close to everything in the book but am relieved that I have FINALLY found something that makes me feel so vibrant and alive now. The positive effects started pretty much immediately and I am so grateful. I cannot express how big of a difference I have felt on Pristiq. It is absolutely amazing."


"I'm on 6 different medications for anxiety/depression/personality disorder. Have been for 7 years now. Atarax being the most recently added. Love it. I'm used to very strong medications and this one helps calm me without making me feel too tired"


"I've had Multiple Sclerosis since 1989, was on Copaxone for 11 years and have been on Gilenya for 2 years.  Both worked fine in stopping episodes but injection sides were painful, red, irritation and left holes in my skin.  A pill was what I prayed for and its worked for me.  The down side its costly and I have asked for help with co pay which Gilenya did not provide but Chronic Health Funding did.  is helping a little.  The thing I worry about is since I started Gilenya I've gotten lots of colds ending up in asthma attacks, at least twice a year.  When I questioned my Neuro he said he didn't think they had any connection. "


"Wow! I can't even begin to uplift this medication enough. If opiates are your addiction of choice please see a Doctor to see if this drug is right for you. I have been off opiates now for 1 1/2 years and have had not one relapse."


"Hydrocodone wasn't providing relief through the entire duration between doses and doctor wouldn't prescribe more frequently because of my "body size". Oxycodone didn't touch the pain, so doctor prescribed Talwin NX. I developed severe hives by the second dose and developed breathing problems. Didn't take a third dose and it didn't help with my pain that much. Have sacroiliac joint dysfunction with severe pain and lumbar pain with cycling muscle spasms. Am allergic to steroid so trigger point injections didn't work either."


"So I have been on almost every anti-psychotic out there. So now my pdoc put me on Vraylar. I was going through a bad mixed episode, severe depression, not leaving the house, racing thoughts, etc. The Vraylar has helped with all of that. My pdoc started me at 1.5mg for 2 days then upped it to 3mg. The depression got better almost immediately but now I'm having extreme anxiety- can't stop moving my leg. So he increased it yesterday to 4.5mg & so far no change in the anxiety but its only been 1 day. I'm just hoping the anxiety is due to the episode & not a side effect of this med. Altho now I'm feeling a tad manic. Also, sleep has been an issue. It makes me sleepy but I sleep restlestless & wake up at 7am, but I'm wide and rested so its ok."


"This is the best stuff EVER!  Haven't slept in over a week trying Phenergan DM prescribed by my doctor. Had them call in something else and finally...I can sleep! No coughing all night."


"I am so grateful to have Savella on the market available for Fibromyalgia pain.  I had been on Lyrica but stopped due to the weight gain. I am really feeling better and still on the lower dose.  I would highly recommend anyone with Fibromyalgia pain give this drug a chance."


"I've had my Implanon in for about 3 months now and I really like it so far. I've had no weight gain that wasn't my own fault, im not irritable, I spot from time to time but nothing major. Before this I had been on Depo for about 2 years and I did really well with that one also. I would suggest that you try Depo before you get the insert because they have similar side affects. If you do well with Depo you will do well with the insert."


"I've taken Zoloft off and on within the last 3 years. I do much better with it. I went from being so low that I couldn't take care of myself because of anxiety and depression. With Zoloft and better life circumstances I am doing much better. I'm actually happy! Right now I'm on 25 milligrams. Sometimes I'm on 50. When I had postpartum blues, 100 milligrams was necessary to feel positive."


"I have taken Paxil on and off my entire adult life. I have always stuck to a low dose at 10MG  a day. I do not have depression, I am just a very sensitive especially in times of high stress, and panic attacks start to take over my life. I had to put my degree on hold, I missed out on vacations with my family, and my professional life suffered as well. Paxil calms my nerves. It keeps me in check so I don't freak out in times of stress. The side effects do exist, but keeping a low dose helps. My libido is affected a bit, I do get dizzy from time to time, and I also have dry mouth. At 10mg a day, once I feel like I am in control again (usually 8 months to a year of being on the medicine) I can stop without any of the bad withdrawals."


"I had read so many bad reviews prior to my appointment, and I just wanted to share the positive experience I've had since having the Mirena inserted in June '11.  I am a 29-year old mother of one.  Prior to having a child, I had been on many versions of the pill, with no issues.  A year after my son was born, I tried the mini-pill, along with other lower-dose versions of the pill, but found that I was moody and wanting to crawl out of my skin most of the time.  My doctor had recommended Mirena, as it contains a very small amount of a progestin hormone.

Insertion was mildly uncomfortable, but tolerable; Some cramping continued for the next 24 hours, but nothing worse than what I had experienced during periods.  I have noticed an increase in hair loss while in the shower, but nothing abnormal; I'm not going bald.  I would occasionally notice my breasts were tender, but typically around the time of menstruation. I have had zero issues with weight gain or mood swings, and found no issues with my libido.  It has been five months and I have stopped getting my period, as of this month.  Hurray!

I've always had very heavy periods, but they became much lighter almost immediately.  The most irritating part was spotting for days before and after my actual period.  Dealing with that just took a little patience, because like I said, I've now stopped menstruating.   I would absolutely recommend this, and hope that the negative experiences of others don't scare everyone as much as they had initially scared me."


"Diovan HCT worked well for me for almost three years, good blood pressure numbers, no side effects. However, I started getting fairly severe side effects (nervousness, anxiety, insomnia) that appeared over a period of about a month and disappeared the moment I stopped taking it. A Google search turned up several people had similar experiences.  Now on Bystolic, which is doing the trick, so far without any side effects."


"Psoriasis started to clear in just a couple of weeks; however nausea & uncontrollable bowel issues have been an ongoing negative, but the 35 lb. weight loss is the silver lining."


"The good thing about this drug was - it really killed my appetite.

But about 3 weeks in, I began to experience pain in my knees and then the joints in my hands.  At first I didn't connect it with the drug, but in the fourth week, the pain in my knees was so bad I nearly fell a few times.  This was all completely new.

I read online about some of the other new diabetes drugs causing symptoms like this, but Trulicity wasn't mentioned. but I stopped it after week four.  In a week, nearly all pain was gone.  After two weeks, just an occasional twinge. And now, all joint pain is gone."


"Please be careful on this drug.  It is a diuretic and can cause your sodium to drop, especially if you drink a lot of water.  I became increasingly lightheaded and dizzy.  I was vomiting.  I went to the ER and my sodium was 118.  Normal is around 135-145.  This is dangerously low.  Under 115 and your brain can swell leading to seizure, herniation, and death.  If you're having symptoms please stop taking the medicine and have your labs checked."


"I just picked up Belviq over the weekend and I can say that I noticed a big change in my appetite. It's as if I have no energy to eat more than I have to and my stomach feels more full sooner into the meal so I eat less. Now I have tried many diets, many weight loss supplements without success so I was skeptical. Belviq is different. Instead of messing with your metabolism, it focuses on the appetite center and nothing more. I have had no side effects! Unlike the others I have tried in the past such as anxiety, nervousness, headaches, palpitations. I'm motivated to finally lose that 30 lbs my doctor keeps yelling at me about!"


"I have not found these tablets effective for the knee pain I'm having . Co codamol the strongest tablet has the same effect
I also have been having sweats so will not be taking anymore"


"So far so good! Began taking this in April 2015. First 10 days I had my period, but towards the end it was brownish discharge. Missed my period in May, had it in June for 3 days (extremely light), and haven't had it since. I've been on many BCs from pills to Depo, and by far this has been the best for me. No anxiety or depression exacerbation (which was a big worry since I already have them - didn't want this to make it worse). Still have my sex drive (which the hubby was worried about). Only other symptoms I've had are sore breasts, hunger and even though no period I still have PMS before my sugar pills."


"I had read good comments about Suprep... in fact one was, “I love this!”.  All I can say is that this person could NOT have been a super-taster as 25% of us are.
It smelled kind of good.
I followed all the directions explicitly.  Throughout the day, I had 14 additional cups of clear liquid (about 8 being filtered water) plus the 5 cups of water taken with Suprep), so I feel I was properly hydrated.  The clear liquid included chicken broth and light apple juice since I was told you need salt and sugar to avoid a headache.
I got nauseated, a headache and after the 2nd dose (which I dreaded taking after my experience with the 1st dose) threw up 3 times.
Five years ago, I used GaviLyte and had no nausea, headache or throwing up.
Suprep was recommended, so I went with it.  NEVER AGAIN!
I heard that doctors like it because it does a good job of cleaning out the colon.  I agree with the quote, “AT WHAT PRICE GLORY?”!
From now on, I will stick with GaviLyte!"


"I came down with an awful virus I soon could only sleep 5 hrs per night.

Trazodone worked well the 1st two nights but  I needed a kick start (ativan or Benadryl) thereafter but it definitely kept me sleeping through the night.

It's difficult to tell which of my symptoms were the virus and which were Trazodone but the faint headaches and prominent dizzines have definitely been the Trazodone. I also noticed I was becoming more forgetful and loosing my ability to focus. Anxiety may or may not be attributed to this drug also.

The final straw, I was watching a concert online but when I paused the video, I kept hearing the music. It was a pretty effective scare. I'm done with this drug!"


"This was great for me, didn't get any periods and I didn't gain any weight. Only thing is I had a little more acne than normal but I had no pregnancy using this, its good if you don't wanna get pregnant"


"Hate to admit, that at 61, this is a first for me.  Took the suprep and water mix at 5 pm.  Within half hour or so, things started happening.  Thought the drink itself was not that bad....kind of a salty seven up taste to me.  Drinking the two 16 oz glasses of water in an hour afterwards was tough...left me a little bloaty and cold with shivers and goosebumps.  Overall, not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.  Round two starts around10:15 am for 2:15 check in."


"I have been taking this for allergic sneezing, itchy eyes, itchy tongue and back if mouth, allergic post-nasal drip. Very effective. My grandmother told me about it forty five or fifty years ago.  Don't take it if you have high blood pressure. This is an oldie but a goodie. I prefer the short acting yellow pills rather then the twelve hour pills."


"If I could rate this birth control a zero I would. This birth control RUINED my life.  I only had it for two months and a year and half later I still have a severe panic disorder, hypoglycemia and IBS and I was 100% healthy before this birth control. I can't drive, work, take my kids to the doctor, grocery, NOTHING. I'm a prisoner in my own home because of this birth control. I had people warn me and I didn't listen. Please don't take this birth control! I regret it whole heartedly. I just want my life back!"


"I was prescribed this medicine by two different doctors for an infection that I had in my mouth where I had gotten my wisdom teeth out. I was warned about the sidea effects and I decided to take a probiotic while on it. It worked great for my mouth infection; swelling went down and pain greatly lessened quickly. I took the whole dose while on probiotics as well and it went well. The only problem I had was that I got a yeast infection while taking it. Other than that, it worked great!"


"Its only been 3 weeks that my daughter has been taking her medication but I have seen very good results."


"Loved this birth control, had to change because changed insurance and new insurance would not pay for it. I began taking this my freshman year of college (did gain the freshman 15- well, 17) but I assumed the weight gain was due to stress and eating Taco Bell and drinking. The first few months I had some problems but eventually got on some anxiety medicine and been fine ever since! I loved having my period only every 3 months. No acne. Great birth control! Would recommend to anyone."


"Before Savella:  Could hardly walk, ached all over, exhausted all the time, sore hands etc, muscle spasms/contractions, jaw/ear pain. After:  muscled contractions/spasms across my abdomen the first two days, really bad; however, no fibromyalgia pain at all.  I am on the full dose now. I take a Lexapro in the morning for depression, I take my Savella about an hour later. At bedtime, I take the other Savella. I love it.  I would say I feel 85% better most of the time, and have felt 100% better a few days in a row."


"I have terrible insomnia and have been taking Ambien or a benzo for 20 years. Got Belsomra yesterday ($285.00!) I didn't get one minutes sleep. I'll try two  tonight and see if that makes a difference."


"I started taking Lexapro about 2 1/2 years ago.  I had gone to my doctor because I was having perimenopausal symptoms, the worst of which was not sleeping.  I would have several days in a row where I couldn't sleep.  I was also having trouble controlling my anger.  The out of control rage was so unlike me.

Lexapro has been wonderful for me.  I take 10 mg once a day.  I take it in the morning.  I am not tired during the day, but now I sleep great at night.  I also have much better anger-control.  No more rages."


"I am a 30 year old female and was prescribed Bactrim for a bad ear infection.  One day later I had a rash all over my arms, neck and face.  I was given a new antibiotic in the ER. "


"I have had moderate psoriasis for about 15 years which I've managed with topicals.  It started to get worse along with me developing psoriatic arthritis all of a sudden.  I decided it was time to call on the big guns.  This stuff is pretty great!  My psoriasis cleared up in about a month and my PsA was gone pretty much instantly!  The injections are a little uncomfortable but if you let it warm up a bit and learn the tricks it's not so bad.  Small sacrifice really.  I've had no side effects other than I am a little tired after the shot so I take it right before bed.  So glad to have this medicine!  Hope it keeps working for many years to come."


"I was prescribed Prozac for depression last November and felt nausea for 2 weeks of taking it then it wore off. It worked really well for me until April this year and the effects seemed to just wear off. It was like I was leading somebody elses life. I wasn't in control of anything I did. I was extremely impulsive and took 3 overdoses on Prozac and was admitted to a psychiatric ward for adolescents. Once I came off Prozac I was able to control my implusiveness but I was very very low in mood and I had really bad electric shock impulses in my face, chest, arms and lips."


"I was given the 8mg sample to try for overactive bladder. I took it one day and had a constant urge to urinate all day and night. I tried to urinate about every 15 minutes and very little came. Didn't take it for 10 days. Tried again with the same result. "


"Works for me!"


"Hi, I'm 23 and got my first implanon in 2009, the first 6 months were hell! I was really depressed and took some time to get out of it. I'm now on my 3rd as the second was faulty and I love it. No periods at all I've lost 25kg. Not one scare within that time. The start is a little rocky but now I say it's worth it."


"My doctor gave me the 14 day sample pack of Toviaz (4mg).  By the second day, I could tell it was working. (Less trips to the bathroom). The third and fourth day I experienced some blurred vision, lasting for 30 to 60 minutes at a time.  Since then I have not had blurred vision.  I have been taking Toviaz for a month now and I am very happy that I don't have to look for a washroom everywhere I go.  When I go out for walks I can stay out for over an hour without having to worry if I'll make it home in time!  My only question at this time is could Toviaz be making me tired and if so, will the tiredness go away?  Since I started taking it, I have been lacking energy.  Otherwise, I like how the medicine works for me."


"Post concussion, leading to: explosive outbursts, withdrawal from activities I used to enjoy, addictive behaviors.  I wasn't worried about the skin rash; the evidence is clear when slowly titrated up, the risk is  low.  I have experienced some cognitive sluggishness and muscle cramping at 150mg, but they are only annoyances.   Drug saved my marriage and job, allowed me to become self-reflective (rather than self-hating) again.  Also, I have experienced another (very welcome!) side effect: um, er, astonishing sexual pleasure.  When I told my doc about this, he smiled, said a small percentage of patients will have this "side effect".  I'm glad I have!  So, the drug has worked well for me in many regards."


"Awful drug, didn't really do much for depression or pain, just made me numb.  And good luck getting off of it, 9 weeks later and I'm still having withdrawal symptoms."


"I don't mind Seroquel, other medicines made my stomach sick, but Seroquel helps. Didn't like weight gain, so I'm dieting. It's better than Geodon. "


"Very effective. "


"I take Valium for night terrors in relation to PTSD and anxiety disorder. I have tried many medications but nothing works as well as Valium does. This includes Klonopin, Xanax, and SSRI's used for this condition that do not work at all."


"So far this medicine has been working great for me.  Not only for my mild depression but also for my joint pain.  I was not aware it was used for this however, told my physician that I was experiencing less joint and muscle pain.  This is when he informed me Cymbalta was also used for pain.  I cannot afford $50.00 a month.  I will have to go back to my other medicine, which is less effective for joint pain but the same for depression."


"I'm 17 years old and I have Suttons Disease 2 and my doctor told me to take Nucynta 4 times a day. Well I can only take it once a day because it is very strong. It did relieve my pain but I'm having VERY bad anxiety and I can't sit still or concentrate at school or work, but I am pain free."


"I have been taking Savella since March and I feel great. This is a drug that reduced pain with minimal side effects.
It took about a month to kick in and unlike Cymbalta and Lyrica I do not have any brain fog or dry mouth. Still a bit tired but I attribute that to the fibromyalgia. I did well on Cymbalta but after 2 years it stopped being effective.  Lyrica made me disoriented and foggy. I recommend Savella, based on my own very positive experience.
This is not a classic antidepressant and is specific for fibromyalgia. Glad I found it and will continue using it.  I have more energy and no pain."


"The pain was in my back for some odd reason instead of my stomach and it was gone about 20-30 minutes after I took the Advil. I could feel nothing for about two hours."


"After spending 6 yrs in the army and a misdiagnosis of crohns disease I had reached the point of ready to quit. I thought that I had permanently ruined my body and that something was wrong with me and I had to have pain medication just to live. I was eventually diagnosed with fibro, degenerative joint disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, PTSD and a couple other things. I had enough and went to the local methadone clinic and told this long story about what a junkie I was and how I couldn't go two hrs without doing drugs! They fell for it and started dosing me and I haven't felt this great in years!!! I have my life back! I'm currently off all medications, only taking methadone vitamin D and b12 and my mental health is better as well!"


"I used to have some leakage, and sudden urges to urinate. Detrol has fixed all of that... but I have noted a strange side effect, I think it delays my period sometimes. I will go a week thinking I'm going to start my period and I wait. One night I forget Detrol, and I have my period. Other than that, Detrol is a wonderful pill!"


"My doctor put me on this after my blood test came back showing signs of liver problems from the Vicodin I was taking. I'm actually much more satisfied with Zohydro. It only needs to be taken once daily instead of four times. I feel more consistent pain relief without the spikes and valleys of the other. Wish it would have been available sooner I could have avoided the possible liver damage I now have to deal with."


"I was given 500mg Levofloxacin for a UTI infection.   Severe lower back pain that comes and goes.  Pain in my legs that comes and goes.  Horrible medicine.  Now I know it's an Anthrax Drug which I have refused to take in the past.  My doctor just slipped this one in under a name different than Cipero.  I would not recommend this medicine to anyone unless they have Anthrax.  Try Keflex.  It's a great drug with very few side effects."


"I had 6 weeks to plan my wedding, and I wanted to look my best. I started taking Meridia and I lost over 15 pounds in the 6 weeks. It helped so much with the cravings and late night eating. I didn't even want to look at food. Plus, it made me feel happy. It got me through a very difficult time in my life while trying to plan a wedding. Rather expensive, but worth it. No noticeable side effects."


"Migraines since I was 15, now in my 40's. Identified as menstrual migraines in my early 30's after 1st child, up to 5 days of migraines every 26 days. Nothing worked before, but  started taking rizatriptan 9 months ago. It works every time, no side effects. I have my life back. Amazing. Recommend making a mentrual and migraine diary before going to the doctor."


"Today is day 14 on Zoloft. It's been a rough 2 weeks with the only side effects being heightened anxiety & panic. Now I'm past the first two weeks I should start to feel some improvement right?? I'm currently relying on lorazepam to function."


"Remicade just isn't working for me or not yet.  When I did my 1 and 2 infusions I could tell a difference.  I had my 3 on and  have to wait 8 weeks.  After 3 weeks I had a flare up and I am in week 6 and I still feel awful.  Maybe I need them more frequently or a higher dose.  I am feeling  so darn frustrated.  I was hoping for a miracle drug to make me feel better and so far it's not.  I read how it helps everyone but I want that for me too!  Can't wait to see my dr so we can get  ask up and the pain"


"Just finished 10 days of Pylera. This is my second treatment in the past few months for h-pylori after it coming back 2 weeks after finishing triple treatment.

Well this has to be the worst medicine ive ever been prescribed in my life. I was bloated first few days and looked 6 months pregnant.

It got worse.... the symptoms that followed were insomnia, itchiness everywhere especially my nose, anxiety, racing heart, weight gain, mood swings and just a general feeling of not feeling with it, im still bloated after 4 days after ive finished and dont feel great."


"I have had incredible results, but at week three I come down hard, the good effect did not last the entire 4 weeks."


"I think this medication really could have worked for me, but I just not get through the headache side effect."


"I highly recommend it. My husband & I used it on a cruise to Alaska & the waters leaving out of Seattle got pretty rough, we literally were holding on to the walls walking down  the hallway. With the bad waves the 1st day I felt a little queasy but I did not get sick. There were couples that it was their 3rd & 4th cruise to Alaska that said the waves were the worst ever & they were sick.... Should have used Transderm. I will never cruise again without it!"


"My doctor gave me a sample of Imitrex when it first came out. It was a MIRACLE drug for me. Up to that time, nothing I took helped the headaches I got. I've used it since. Over time, my headaches have gotten less - maybe with age?? But I keep it with me all the time just in case. I "don't leave home without it."!"


"This is a success story:
I was so scared to start taking birth control because of all of the possible side effects. I have a history of anxiety and depression and I was afraid it would make this worse. I was pleasantly surprised! I have been taking Lutera for 3 months now and never had any negative side effects. It has actually improved my life. My hormones have leveled out, no more anxiety or depression. My breasts grew a cup size and without any tenderness or heaviness! My skin is clear and smooth. I used to have the worst cramps every month (fainting, vomiting, and staying home all day from the pain). This month I hardly felt them and now I don't have to rely on pain killers each month and I know when it will come!  No pregnancy scares!"


"I was sick and had to take amoxicillin and unfortunatley got a yeast infection. I went to the doctor and he prescribed Diflucan yesterday. I had no side effects. Unlike everyone else, my horrible symptoms (itching, burning) are still present."


"I have no depression only anxiety disorder and panic attacks. On Lexapro 10 mg for almost two weeks. Anxiety definitely has decreased already. I actually think I was in a better mood off the Lexapro, because I didn't suffer from depression in the first place. It has a desensitizing effect in the sense that I know there are things still present that would normally make me go into a panic or severely anxious, however, I almost don't care. I know it's there, but emotionally I am not affected. I have had side effects such as sweaty palms and feet, jitters, spacey at times, hard to get out what I want to say when it pertains to something that may be a stressor. Horrible yawning, fatigue and sleepiness. A slight bit of dry mouth and trouble focusing."


"When I take amoxicillin I get a strange kind of a symptom. When I wake up in the morning I feel as if I am wearing socks, when I am not! On the second morning I feel I am wearing long socks upto my knees.!! No swelling but feels like water retention!! Or may be something else!!"


"I am above middle age and have pain due to diabetic neuropathy. Broke out with severe facial rash."


"I've had Interstitital Cystitis ( IC) for about 6 years or so.  Some pain while peeing and bladder pain.
Last Feb 2015 the Urologist inserted the Botox into my bladder.  My life for the past year and a half has been miserable to say the least.  Never had problems before with incontinence but boy do I have it now.  For the past year and a half I've had to wear Depends during the day and at night I have to wear an External Catheter and drain bag.  My desire to do anything is not there anymore where before I was always pretty active.  My Urologist doesn't understand why I'm having this outcome. He has other patients that do the Botox for the IC and had good results.  Never again. Don't know if this stuff will ever wear off."


"I started taking Contrave on 4/20. My starting weight was 276, I am now down to 262. At first I didn't change my diet and continued to eat fried foods. I quickly realized that was a BAD idea as it made me quite nauseated. My appetite is greatly decreased. My b/f bought me a big pack of Reese Peanut Butter cups, they stayed in the freezer for 3 days, which is groundbreaking because normally I would have eaten all four right then and there. It wasn't only my restraint, but that I actually didn't crave them or have a desire to eat chocolate at all. I am a choco-holic, and I have NEVER dismissed chocolate in my life. I have not even reached the full dosage yet, but I feel that it is working very well."


"I've been taking microgestin fe for 3 months now. The first two there were no really bad side effects except some acne and heavy flow with nasty cramps that I was assured would go away by month three....ABSOLUTELY NOT. Month three has been the worst.....I break out all the time when I never used to get pimples, I feel nauseous and pukey all day every day, no food sounds or tastes good, I have back pain and lower abdominal pain, I'm bloated and swollen, and I've gained almost 8 pounds!!! This is absolutely miserable"


"After being unstable for years this medication has changed my life. I have been stable for two years now and wouldn't change for anything in the world. It has changed my life"
