"I have taken just about every drug known to man and found that Ativan works best. Calms me right down and actually lets me sleep ALL NIGHT !"


"Extremely fatigued. Used is directed during week 7 and getting out of bed was a struggle. Slept all day and went to bed early...6-7pm early. This is my first pregnancy so I thought it's probably 1st trimester fatigue. Stopped using the next day and decided to "stick it out" without diclegis. I'm 17 weeks today and had really bad nausea vomiting every 30 mins this am and thought, ok let me give this medicine another shot, I'm desperate... Same deal, nausea/vomiting is gone... because I'm tranquilized! It works but I may be too sensitive for it's drowsiness effects. Not for me"


"I've been on 75mg, 2x/day for 2 months. Difference is night and day! I have RA, nerve damage form a pretty bad accident, herniated discs and vein's are dying. I'm a mess. Tried everything, but Lyrica has been the one that worked. Not completely, but they may bump up the dosage, I'm told. Trying for 2 more months til I see my GP again. Lucky my insurance pays- otherwise I'd never be able to afford it."


"I was prescribed Bactrim and Keflex to treat an traumatic force injury to my shin which a month later turned into a bacterial type infection. I was on these 2 anitbiotics for 3 doses (100 mg Bactrim) and I got small spots of hive-like bumps under both forearms, on my hand, and on the backside of the injured shin. They took me off those antibiotics and without taking any other medicines yet that day, approximately 8 hrs later I looked like I had the chicken pox. It's Day 3 after stopping Bactrim and I'm just starting to get some relief from the intense itching ( I did have a steroid IV today to try to help this)."


"I am in my 3rd year of treatment, and I love it. I honestly think I would be in jail or dead by now. The only downfall to it is the bad reputation it has gotten over the years. It's a wonderful drug for those who are ready and willing."


"I was diagnosed with depression 11 years ago. I can't remember all of the anti-depressants I've been on, but for the last 5 years I've been on Welbutrin 450mg. My psychiatrist prescribed Mirtazapine, for it's energizing effects when on high doses. It didn't work for me; then he prescribed Deplin 15mg. I took it for 6 weeks. I could not tell a huge difference, so I didn't refill my prescription right away. (It's expensive since insurance won't cover it!) After I stopped my energy/motivation decreased, so I started taking it again. I've been on it for about a week now and have seen an increase in my energy again, but the motivation is still not as high as I it should be. Hopefully it will get better the longer I'm on it."


"My new GP has been recommending Valium for over a year for chronic mid-back/facet joint paint and intermittent neck pain (bad disks from C3-C5) and sciatica/torn labrum at right hip, but I resisted her recommendation.  The chronic back pain flares every night, and often wakes me up and forces me out of bed.  It takes several hours for the pain to recede every morning, which is demoralizing.  Three nights ago I started taking 5 mg of valium at bedtime, and each morning I've awakened with less and less pain so that I'm hardly taking any pain medication during the day.  Fingers crossed that I can continue to take this dose at bedtime - the other testimonials on this website are giving me hope that this might be the case!!  Hallelujah!"


"After years of klonopin/Xanax & zolft, MY so-called Dr switches me to Buspar& Lexapro. This is the most worthless bunch of junk medicine ever created. It just sent me into benzo withdrawals !!! Horrible ones that last days. I have to find another Dr that had mercy on me and put me back on Xanax."


"My seizures changed to Partial onset seizures. I can't remember what happened 5 minutes ago, but my seizures have subsided. I'm also weening off of Keppra it made me impossible to live with. I also want to sleep a lot."


"I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome in 2011 and my doctor put me on Ocella. After about two years on it, I became so irritated and unhappy with everything I switched (Ocella is horrible). I called my doctor and explained that Ocella was making my hormones go crazy, so she switched me to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. I've been taking it for probably 6 months now and everything is great! My periods are really light, they've went from three days to two days, which worries me a little bit but my Doctor said this can happen after being on the pill for so long. I haven't gained any weight, my slight acne has cleared, & my breasts have jumped about one cup size! I also barely notice myself getting irritated anymore. So far, so good! This pill has been great for me."


"I read a lot of reviews about IUD's... skyla in particular... and basically I  let them all really psyche me out. So many people said insertion was ridiculously painful and that cramping lasted for days afterwards. My experience was nothing like that. I only had my Skyla inserted yesterday so I can't speak for the long term but I can say the most painful thing about my appointment was the almost 2 hour wait. Insertion took only a few minutes and while it was very uncomfortable pain was minimal. It really just felt like period cramps. I took no pain meds beforehand aEveryone has different pain thresholds and I could imagine it being different for women who have never had children ( I have 2 both c-sections) don't let the reviews scare you"


"I took this medication for an infection I acquired after a cut in my finger. It basically works by "STOPPING"  the growth of bacteria. You have to take it with a lot water to insure it is totally flushed through your esophagus and DO NOT lay down within 45 minuets of taking it - or it can work it's way back up into your esophagus and thus might cause a small ulcer there in time. As its effectiveness in curing the infection..it worked just fine."


"I would never take it again. I was just merely fatigued the first few days, but on the 3rd and 4th days after (I'm in my 5th day, feeling awful!) I got so incredibly sick that I couldn't function. It felt like my organs were sputtering and it scared the ISH out of me. Now, I'm very healthy; I'm 18, a junior in high school, and on the varsity track team. Still, the drug made me feel like I was legitimately dying & I almost told my mom so she could take me to the ER (so much for the secret aspect of simply popping a one-time pill!). I was extremely dizzy, nauseous, gained 6 pounds in three days (WHILE working out), EXHAUSTED, trembly, incredibly weak, headachy, cramping like never before & with stabbing pains everywhere at random times."


"As a disabled person on SS, I have both Medicare and True Blue. When the fibromyalgia is treated with 60 mg twice a day, the symptoms were phenomenally changed for the better. However, about 3x a year the insurance makes me cut back to one tablet daily. Within a week my depression worsens and my pain intensifies. It's a great drug and those who take it, really need it."


"I took Lamisil for 4 weeks. I am a Registered Nurse and I didn't realize that the medication could affect my taste. This is definitely the worst side effect that I have ever experienced with any medication. The change in taste almost happened overnight. All of a sudden everything tasted like motor oil. I have been off the medication for 7 days and I am unable to eat. I pray that I regain my sense of taste. "


"I have had the Implanon since September 2013. So for almost 7 months. First I had Depo. Great. I never bled once. But I couldn't lose weight. I gained 20 lbs. Then I went to pill to try to lose weight. My period was TERRIBLE. So I switched to Implanon. I gave it a 6 because overall it is really good. Haven't got pregnant or lost sex drive. Was able to lose the weight but here in the last two months maybe a little more, I've bled non-stop. Its very light but so annoying. Getting it removed asap."


"I've had hyperhidrosis since middle school. It was my armpits. They sweat something awful. It could've been 3 degrees outside and I looked like I just ran a 20 mile marathon. I was prescribed drysol and didn't read the directions. So I just went home and put it on. It made my armpits extremely itchy and red also burned. So I figured it dosen't work.... It sat on a shelf for years while I struggled with hyperhidrosis. Then one day I decided to try it out again and got a new prescription for it. I followed the directions and didn't shave before use and put it on before I went to bed. Also didn't wear deodorant the following day. I stop sweating, it was a miracle. I was mad at myself that I had the cure sitting right there the whole time."


"I got it inserted in September 16,2013. Reason I remember the date exactly because I was planning on getting it again, but NO WAY!! Don't get me wrong  it is very effective, but the side effects are horrible! I'm always tired, barely energized, very moody, like I don't remember every crying so much in my life than the 3 years of having this insertion, and don't let me talk about the bleeding! First year I'll say I barely bled, like every three to four months, and it'll last like a week or two. Now I haven't stopped, constantly spotting. I'm going to wait until my 3 years are up to have it removed but I will definitely not get it again. Wouldn't recommend it to no one"


"I have been on medication 7 months. Have severe headaches, weakness, dizziness, pressure in head, vision problems. So far no recommendations from doctors to discontinue. MRI just done, no results yet, but symptoms unbearable. My life rearranged since on this medicine."


"This is the most amazing medication for depression! I have used it in the past, and am so glad to start back on it again. I have had so many bad things happen, that it is time for some good. I am grateful for the way it helps me see the bright side of life, instead of living so unhappily and feeling hopeless. If you have ever thought of suicide, please don't do it. I know this medicine helped me from doing it in my past, it's wonderful. Problems are temporary. "


"First time I went on Ambien CR, I was disoriented and felt like I was having an out-of-body experience.  I was on it for 5 days.  I decided after trying several other medicines that I would try it again.  Now, I get 8 hrs asleep and I feel better now that I am getting to sleep.  Still am a little tired throughout the day but I don't feel insane from lack of sleep.  Definetly hooked on it because when I miss I know."


"I love this birth control. The only real side effect I've experienced was that my breasts grew about two cup sizes to a small D cup and are sometimes very sensitive."


"I have been using this for about three weeks now. There was a big initial "boost" in my energy levels, mood, work performance and all across the board things seemed to get better, and depression seemed to lift quite a bit. It does not stick for me if I delay putting on my shirt for 10-15 minutes and letting it dry. If you're sweating it wily I noticed the smell at first, but now I don't smell it anymore. The only person who noticed was a woman who said she liked the smell. Hmmm. The initial "boost" phase seems to be wearing off now. I am a bit out of shape and am exercising hard - it could be that, or the common issue with the body lowering T in response to an external source increasing it."


"Amitiza is the best if you have ibs!"


"I have side effects from most brands of genetic metformin because they use cheap fillers. Real Glucophage is my only option. Why is it so expensive? My insurance won't cover it. But I have no side effects. Guess it's worth it."


"I really like this pill besides the fact that I sleep all day. I take the pill every few days at about 12, when I'm not tired and 15 minutes later I become drowsy. About 30 minutes after that, I'm asleep. but I tend to sleep really late. I don't hear my alarms and I can't get myself out of bed. If you do take this I would consider taking it earlier than you normally would. Other then that this pill is the best I have found and works great just like it says."


"Made me suicidal and depressed."


"Very good for pain, but left me very foggy & nauseous, not able to do much else but sit on the couch and watch football.  The Norco hangover the next day was no fun either.  Will use only when necessary."


"So as someone who used to get drunk on rumpleminze peppermint schnapps, the taste is really not that bad. Surprisingly savory. I've drank worse. I started going about 2 hours ago after first dose, seems to be tailing off now. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Don't try to get an errand in after you drink this stuff.

Also keep a bland diet for the week of. I ate spicy noodles yesterday, and I wish I could have that decision back.

All humor aside, I'm really just hoping I don't have colon cancer. The prep is what it is, but you'll get through it. Drink the solution as cold as you can make it and do it fast. I chugged it and it wasn't that gross until the aftertaste. Sipping would be rough."


"I took this pill for already 1 week and started experiencing negative side effects to it. I was already cautious from reading others reviews and wanted to watch out and see what I might experience. They were so not good. I've have dealt with severe acne growing up and I have finally felt confident in my skin and body when I finally got it to go away. When I got on this pill I saw acne all over my face almost the next morning. I broke out everywhere. Then I've noticed I feel major bloating and have noticed I am way more emotional than usual. I am already a highly sensitive person and this pill was not right for me at all."


"Was on this pill for three years for my polycystic ovarian syndrome. I loved it. No cramps, no weight gain, no acne, no spotting (unless of course I didn't take it at the same time every day). Only thing I noticed was I lost my sex drive. I am somewhat worried too; I wanted to give my body a break so I was off the pill for three months and almost went bald. I'm not sure if my PCOS caused it or my body became dependent on the pill and the lack of hormones caused it. So now I'm currently seeing my doctor to resolve this problem and more than likely he will refer me out to a endocrinologist to help regulate my hormones. But remember each person is different and what worked for someone may not work for you and vice versa."


"I just finished my third pack of pills. Although I was skeptical about putting hormones into my body on a daily basis, this medication has worked out for me. I started it mainly because I was tired of the constant worries I have as i am very sexually active. Since starting the medication I have received the benefits of lighter/shorter/less painful periods, larger breasts, clearer skin, and no baby scares! I have also had the added benefit of slower facial hair growth (yay for less tweezing and waxing!). For myself, the negatives that come with this drug are the feelings of a slower metabolism/bloating (although I haven't gained weight), and huge decrease in my sex drive which I actually prefer because now I play it coy in dating ;)"


"I have suffered with chronic uticaria for over 10 years and over the last 6 months it has become a daily nightmare. Benadryl worked a bit but it was probably due to the sedating effect allowing me to sleep. However, I can now take 4 tablets and still itch. I've combined this with an H2 blocker such as Zantac and it helps enough to be able to sleep a couple of hours and then I'm awoken to intense itching."


"I take Zipsor for ankylosing spondylitis, I find it very effective, I recently had shingles was shocked the effect it had on the pain from the shingles."


"I've only been taking Taytulla for two weeks, I do have depression but taytulla has intensified it tremendously as well as make me super emotional. My skin is always clear except for the week before my period but ever since I've been taking taytulla by skin is COMPLETELY broken out. I was put on the pill because I am extremely anemic, and my periods usually last 9-14 days. The pill did reduce the time I am on my period for but that's it."


"The only medication that helps since Vioxx was removed from the market."


"I have been on Humira since 2011- It takes care of my psoriasis and ulcerative colitis. I can actually have a life thanks to Humira. Before I used to take cortisone shots into my psoriasis every few months with steroid creams. I also used to be on the toilet all the time. I was hospitalized in 2010 because I had a fever with a bleeding diarrhea. I lost much blood and the fever would not go away. I finally got back on my feet. Since then I run 5-6 times a week and squeeze lemon juice after runs. I have had no infection or colds in years and Im on Humira. I also do not eat fast food much anymore and cook for myself. I understand there are some risks with this drug so be careful. I am thankful to the universe bc so far so good. thanks Humira"


"I have been on quite a few antidepressants in addition to Xanax.  The antidepressants made my anxiety and panic worse, needing to increase my intake of Xanax when on the antidepressant(s).  I was really reluctant to take the Xanax when I was first prescribed the medication.  I have been of Pristiq for 8 months now and have lowered my Xanax from 1 mg in the morning, 1mg midday and 2 mg at bed.  I am now taking 0.5mg in the morning and 1.5 mg at bed.  I am taking vitamins, doing yoga and taking better care of myself. My doctor knows, I am honest. He wanted me to take 2mg every 8 hours but never did. My Mother just died a few weeks ago and have been getting really bad anxiety and still the same dose helps me.  Hope this helps."


"general weakness/ tired muscles/ constipation/lapsus/ and sets the beats straight.. age 62..weight 75 kg..height 5' 11.. took the 200 gms tablet for 3 months."


"Coming up to the 1 year mark, been on 20mg per day until this week when I've increased to 30mg. Until last few weeks my anxiety has been manageable but now I feel it returning due to some personal issues at home.
Compared to how I was this time last year just before I started I am ten times better, but am by no means cured. I've increased my dosage with doctors guidance in order to continue managing my anxiety and depression.I find this medication great in most ways but the side effects are not good. I had severe nausea for the first 3 weeks, night tremors, hot sweats, no appetite. Within 4 weeks these had all gone completely but I've found that I suffer with terrible short term memory, increased hair loss and alcohol affects me much worse."


"Plain and simple, it sucks. Only 8 months in and I want it out nowww. My acne takes me back to when I hit puberty and worse... it's on my back which I've never had before, I've gained 15 pounds, no sex drive. None. My depression is worse, and my irrability and mood swings from it is causing friction with my fiancé :( hopefully ensurense covers the cost of taking it out."


"Good for depression, not for anxiety/depression. I had a history of General Anxiety, it got worse after menopause. I was on different SSRI's, the side effects were awful. When my depression returned, my doctor had me try Wellbutrin SL. It caused agitation, loss of appetite, muscle tremor and sleep disturbances were the worst. It does not help my anxiety, but it did helped depression. I am off it now to try something else in a week."


"I used this medicine to help me fall asleep. While it did work and I fell right asleep, the next day I felt groggy and had a metallic taste in my mouth accompanied by ringing in my ears. The side effects far outweighed the benefits of this medicine for me."


"Ive been on it for about 3 years. Has worked well and no problems. I was on a triphasic for a year and it made my migraines horrible the monophasic pill has helped. An interesting side effect is I do not continuously take the pills, i just take it normally. After a few months my periods completely disappeared. I freaked out thinking i was pregnant and took a test, it was negative and told my doctor and had a blood test ran and found no pregnancy or other problems. He said it was a side effect that my periods would just go away. It's great but still weird to me, I've only had spotting for 2 days in the last 3 years. Save money on tampons though! I also noted that your sex drive does go down, never had any problems with dryness though."


"I originally started talking this BC (having never before taken any others) as an attempt to regulate my acne. It did help the acne on my back and chest a bit, but I did not notice it help clear up my face. So it was disappointing in that regard. HOWEVER I love how it regulates my period nicely with very few--if any--side effects. No nausea, no cramps, etc. BUT to be fair, I never experienced those during my normal periods.  I guess if you're just looking for a birth control pill that regulates irregular/heavy periods (mine went from 7 down to 4 days), this could be a pill for you to consider."


"Surgery for ER Stage 2 in R breast. Started Letrozole before radiation.

Had a lumpectomy and one Sentinal node out below armpit.  So next A sore red swollen breast

My GP put me on huge doses of antibiotics. Didn't work. Surgeon then told me it was .lymphodema. Gave me Dexamethasone.  (Appalling side effects.). Had to stop it and it Took a month to settle the problems down settled infection but not lymph blockage

Off to a lymphodema nurse. learning exercises and massage.

Acutely tired. Loss of interest/drive.

headaches, mind blurryness and bad recall Eyes also blurry.

Aching everywhere began and grew so badly could barely move. Taken off a Femara. Three weeks later still ache badly. Back soon to decide what to do.

hard decisions......."


"I took this for 3 months to regulate my period and reduce the pain. It didn't help with the unbearable pain, but it kinda worked for regulating for one of the 3 months."


"I think I would give up food before I would give up my Detrol. It has saved my social life. I was willing to pay $70 per month before I got better insurance."


"I just started on 150 mg. Avapro last week - Sept. 14, 2017.  I can no longer drink coffee all day & night. I get a false angina pain, pinching. I was on Clonidine which  liked but my hair started falling out in large handfuls. Eek! Also, about 30 minutes into Clonidine I had to take a nap. So far, this one is better but my coffee intake is going down to 2 cups and only in the mornings now.  I'm a little dizzy for a couple of hours after I take Avapro but Clonidine was much worse, actually. I will see how it goes..."


"i always get sinusitis on a yearly basis.  on my worst occasion, i tried 'em all from Zythromax to Ammoxicillian, etc.  none worked for me.  ONLY Biaxin works!!  MD says its not the most recommended antibiotic for sinusitis but does work and is the only one that works for me.

Yes ~ it does leave a metallic taste in my mouth, but i like knowing its in my system and attacking my problem so i don't mind the taste at all...  i was also told it is a very old antibiotic, but its an "Oldie but Goodie"!!

Some insurance will cover it while others will not."


"5mg dose; used with Zoloft (50mg). Not too many side effects for me. Some dizziness when getting up and slightly blurred vision immediately upon standing. Mild problems with dehydration, but that is only because I have been spending a lot of time outside this summer. All of these side effects seem to have gotten better over time. I have been on it for about 4 weeks."


"This was the absolute wrong drug for me. Not sure why my doc put me on this as I don't have a mood disorder I have depression and anxiety. But I got weird side effects like breathlessness, difficulty swallowing and a feeling of not being able to clear my throat - super phlegmy and I can't get it out which actually increased my anxiety. Once I put two and two together I immediately stopped taking those pills. Not the right med for depression and anxiety."


"I have been using this medicine for about 2 weeks and now the cramps are starting back up again really bad.  I am also on Rifaximin.  I am hoping for a change soon."


"I am 26 years old and have been battling with bad stomach problems for most of my life. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Proctitis about 4 years ago. My doctor put me on Lialda but I didn't stick with it. This past December, I had my first flare up...it was awful. I lost 10lbs and just felt sick all of the time. I went back on Lialda (3 pills a day) in January. At first, I didn't feel any different but then it really started working. It has been 8 months and I feel like a normal person now. Still have the occasional stomach ache but nothing abnormal! Feel great!"


"Every since I've started on Xulane I have Not been able to sleep. Has anyone else experienced this side effect....I don't fall asleep until, like 3am"


"Seasonique made my face break out, I had a lot of spotting and abdominal cramps. I was prescribed Seasonique to regulate my periods, and it did the exact OPPOSITE! Since day one of starting this product I have had to wear a pad because of the spotting."


"I have been taking Trazodone for nearly 18 years. For the most part of this period I have taken 150mg dose. I have never experienced any severe side effects on this medication. However if I miss a dose, I have incredibly bad nightmares and very agitated. To a lesser degree whilst taking these tablets I have a very dry mouth, slight dizziness when standing. The positives are a slightly lifted mood and reduced anxiety.

More recently I have been prescribed 300mgs, this was to help with anxiety and extreme depression. The increased dose worked brilliantly for the anxiety and depression, however I experienced Priapism and was reduced back to 150mg."


"It works, but I am constantly urinating and constipated.  I lost five lbs within two days after starting this medication, but I feel that I am losing too much water.  I am thirsty, but I avoid drinking water because of the constant urination.

My mother has been on it for decades and was diagnosed with gout last year.  Her specialist told her the hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene caused the gout.  She is no longer on the medication, but still having gout flare-ups.  I haven't taken it for about a week, and I decided to reduce my salt and reduced the amount of food I am eating since I am overweight.  It has been working, but I am monitoring my blood pressure by taking readings every morning and evening. I'll see what the doctor says."


"I am a 63 yr old female. My doctor had been talking about Belviq to me for awhile but as all of you know, I wasn't about to start a diet until I was "ready." I had to be "all in" for it to work. Well when my hip surgeon said he wasn't going to do hip replacement until I lost weight, I decided that I was officially "ready!" I took my first Belviq med on April 11, 2014 at 237 pounds. Today is March 1, 2015 and I weighed 175. A loss of 62 pounds! This is with hip surgery in August 2014 and also with no exercise (yeh I know I gotta start). I take one pill in the morning and one at dinner time. I have only bought healthy food so I am not tempted at the house by the "bad" stuff. I eat out once a month or 2 months and eat healthy. Love this med!"


"This product worked great for me. During sex my bf came inside me. I was panicking. I went and purchased the pill shortly after. My period came within my scheduled timeframe. My breasts are a little sore but other than nothing major."


"Started taking Symbicort for increasingly worse asthma after a chest infection and doctor wanted to try a stronger preventer.

First few weeks were OK, but after that I started to develop increasing generalised anxiety. I have had mild anxiety on and off and usually situationally related  but the anxiety I experienced from this was generalised and grew in intensity each day... Affecting my work and home life. My sleep has also been badly affected. A lot of difficulty getting to sleep- even sleeping tablets didn't help much. I also started to get tinnitus (ringing in ears), nasopharengitis, red dry eyes that made me look stoned, bad breath etc. The last straw for me was very doing voice changes, increasing irritability and agitation."


"My many years of RLS stopped immediately with Gabapentin, I'm not crazy about the side affects ( I feel like a dizzy Zombie) Was prescribed for back pain, hasn't helped that at all, but OMG, a good nights sleep every night for the few weeks since I started taking it. 300 mg, 3 times a day. Probably needs to be much higher for the back/nerve pain."


"I've taken this birth control for 6-7 months now, and have been happy with my experience. At first, it definitely affected my mood and made me noticeably more irritable than before. However, I stuck with it and my mood has improved. It cleared my skin, and my acne is more controlled that it has been in years. It eliminated almost all cramps that come with my period, and my period is much shorter than before. It has also been effective in preventing pregnancy. All around, I've been happy with Reclipsen. If anything, my only complaint would be a slight rise in moodiness that has been manageable with time."


"Neurontin has really helped my Restless leg syndrome."


"Just finished my first 1 liter dose about 2 hours ago.  Taste was not as bad as I was afraid of, honestly the lemon/salty taste reminds me very much of a margarita!  Started to work before I was finished drinking it, and already only 2 hours in I feel pretty cleaned out and the trips to the bathroom which where at first every five minutes are now every 15 minutes.  I don't have my next dose until 6 am tomorrow, so at this rate I am reasonably sure I will get some sleep tonight.  Some mild cramps but not bad.  With Blue Cross/Blue Shield my out of pocket was $20.  Worst part so far has been the nervousness leading up to my first dose after reading the horror stories on this site.  I slept though the night, up at 6 for dose 2, no problems."


"I've had the implant for a year now and the only good thing about it is that I'm not pregnant! Severe stomach cramps, headaches, discharge, no sex drive and I need to take the pill everyday anyway so I don't bleed constantly! Not to mention my skin is awful. I'm moody as and I'm always dizzy. It just seems like I've become really unhealthy all over ever since I got it done. Wish I was one of those lucky people who get no reactions and don't get periods, but unfortunately, Implanon does not agree with me."


"I've been on this pill for about 4 months and I hate it. My period is always late and I get awful cramps. My anxiety is terrible. And the worst for me is that it made me break out SO bad. I have like 10 under the skin pimples 24/7 and I'm in constant pain. It feels like I have blisters all over my face. I broke out before I got put in birth control but it was not as bad as it is now. My doctor said it's most likely because of this birth control so I'm switching to my old birth control, orsythia."


"First off I'd like to state that before I got on birth control I had HORRIBLE HORRIBLE cramps! I mean completely miserable! But after I got on Gianvi my miserable horrible cramps are gone. Yeah I may have some minor pains here and there but at least I can still function and make it to my classes! Also I've noticed that my weight hasn't changed at all. I'm just happy that I don't become sad and miserable when my period comes. One negative would be that my sex drive has decreased. But hey, it is called "birth control"."


"This medicine is wonderful. If you are like me, and have acne everywhere you need this cream! My bumps go down overnight!"


"I have had this prescribed to me due to a bladder infection. I took them twice a day for five days. And just now feel like I have symptoms of a UTI. Why is this?"


"I have only had 1 cold sore in my life prior to this experience. It was awful. Like, burry your head in the sand for 10 days, turning peoples stomach awful. This week I noticed one beginning and decided to spend the $22 to try and prevent THAT mess again. SOOOO worth it. By the second day I could feel the cream really doing it's job and now, on day three, it's basically gone. THREE DAYS! It never even blistered. No one realized I even had a cold sore. Worth $100 if it works this well every time! Thanks GSK for a medicine that truly does what it advertises!"


"I always had clear skin, then when I turned 19 my skin broke out mostly all over my chin, so many tiny "under skin" bumps and then big cystic red acne that wouldn't develop a head and took a long time to heal, after three months of my skin (chin) being completely destroyed with acne, my doctor prescribed Duac. Within a week my skin was completely clear. I did have dryness, so I made sure I washed my face with a gentle soap and an exfoliating brush in the morning and moisturized, then did the same at night before applying only a pea sized amount of Duac to ONLY my chin, where most of my spots appeared! It works amazing, but I would ensure I moisturized A LOT with this product and only use the prescribed amount once a day."


"I suffer from UTI'S alot! really severe. The doctors give this tablet only when the infection is really high as its a hardcore one hence why they make you feel a little sleepy. Just make sure you eat with each dose as if you don't it can cause sickness and tummy upsets (not nice)
but if you eat and do it right you will be fine and that horrible burning sensation will fade. Complete your full course even if symptoms have stopped."

"So far it's worked for me. Notice darker urine since I started the pill."


"I had a drug reaction and was back in hospital for 5-7 days and had hearing loss as a side effect"


"Changed from Candesartan/HCTZ to this because of too frequent urination.  Probably worse now at 4 or 5 times per night - really affecting sleep.  On the plus side, I'm fine during the day and my BP has dropped from 140/90 on the previous medication to 125/85. I'll live with it."


"I started Pristiq a few months ago. It has been great. I feel like a different person. The only side effect is not being able to have a orgasm. But then my doctor told me to take one every other day. So on the days I don't take it I can achieve a orgasm. On the days I take it I can't."


"I got my first implanon in July 2011 at 17y/o. The 3 years of being on my first rod was okay. I gained about 15lbs, started getting a little acne (never had acne before that), and I had a period about twice a year (light, lasted a week). I got my second implant in July 2014. A month later I started experience HORRIBLE acne, mood swings and more weight gain. I've now gained about about 30lbs since getting my first rod. The only pros are no periods (twice a year), and no pregnancies (my boyfriend had unprotected sex for almost 5 yrs). My acne has calmed down a lot in the past 6 months but I now have a lot of scarring. It's now almost 2 years into my second rod and I plan on getting it removed this summer because I can't get the weight off."


"Was waste of my money didn't last as long as they said it did."


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"Not sure what I have. High Anti-ccps. Started with left hand finger & joint swelling that did not go away with some joint knuckle pain. Then having some knee and ankle joint pain in mornings that would go away by afternoon. Stiff neck below the skull area to neck spinal area.I would get occasional calf and foot spasms. Muscle weakness and strength gone. Once I started the durg I felt like drug was doing nothing but giving me undesirable side effects. The nausea lessened with time along with the feeling of loss of balance. I felt like my brain was in a fog for quite a while & my energy level is lower with some fatigue about 1/2 hour after taking drug and always with food. These side affects became more tolerable. 17 weeks before improvements"


"This medication did not lower my blood pressure or pulse rate at all."


"Just started my third week. No side effects so far. On first week lost desire to snack on second day. However on second week I noticed I seemed to want to snack more. Desire seems to have gone now though. I am drinking tons of water, cut out sugar and increased protein. Hope to start exercising again soon after hurting foot in a fall.
Started at 170lbs down four pounds so far. Losing slower than I'd like but am feeling positive."


"Gels are better and work faster than the tablet form."


"In 2010, what started as some needed relief for back pain, the FL Pill Mill took me for a ride which almost cost me my life. Being prescribed 120 30mg Oxy/month to 15 months later being at 240 30mg Oxy and 90 40mg Opana ER. The damage I caused my family in that brief period was substantial, but the damage I did to myself was enormous. One day, looking in the mirror, I was scared into reality. How had I gone from 276lbs to 204lbs in 9 months? At that precise moment, I called a Subutex Dr and 48hrs later, in withdrawals I started Subutex. What transpired over the next 9 months was nothing short of a rebirth. In Jan 2012, I took my last 0.75mg dose of Subutex and with it, I flushed 690mg of Oxy and 360mg of Opana, left over from the day I started Subutex!"


"Its the only thing that works for me!"


"I haven't had a full on cold sore in 10 years. All due to Abreva. As soon as I feel that warm feeling and see a little red on my lip I apply it and an hour later it's gone. I keep a tube at home and in my car.  I'll even apply some before a big date or event just in case. This stuff is amazing.  I deal with clients daily, a cold sore is a deal breaker. Miracle."


"I'm 21 years old and I've been on 40mg Vyvanse for about 5 months give or take.  I've been on other medications for ADHD in the past, but they left me feeling edge-y or more anxious.

This medication works much better in terms of even release and feeling normal, and not jittery or like I have a come down when medication wears off.

However, I still struggle trying to find the ideal medication/dosage because my days are long, sometimes from 4am until 10pm  at night, and no medication has lasted that long for me.

I used to take Adderall twice daily, so that it would last me the entire day, but that left me feeling terrible.  I fear if I up the dosage of Vyvanse to twice daily, I may start getting other side effects as well.  "


"I just started taking this pill. I've been on it for a week and take the brand name. I take it at night and I noticed the morning after taking my first pill I had a little spotting and some nausea but the nausea went away after about an hour. So far I like this pill a lot and it hasn't given me any really bad side effects. "


"My brother had a terrible reaction to Nardil. His behavior and personality changed immensely when he started taking it for depression and then he hit bottom when he tried to get off it. Maybe it is a wonder drug for some, but if you start having hallucinations or your reality changes, please get help."


"I was worried about going on birth control, but I have been on this for half a year now. I have had NO side effects (weight gain, mood swings, breakouts) and didn't feel different at all! I have a little spotting about once a month. Definitely happy with this pill!"


"Amazing! I have been miserable for three nights and unable to sleep soundly. After 2 tblspoons of this medicine and a 30 minute wait my cough is next to gone! Miracle working."


"This pill was absolutely awful for me. 2 weeks in, I started feeling more irritable and moody, I ignored it, telling myself it just was the change in the hormones of the pill. I was on it for 2 months total, I got depressed on it, irritable, moody, cried for no reason, and got a migraine that lasted for days, it was unbearable. I also developed a yeast infection while on it. It was a miserable 2 months and I'll never go back. I rather take no pill then take this one"


"I have been on Luvox for just over a year. I have realized that if I miss a dose or two which I have done at times my symptoms return (racing thoughts, self harm,..awful).  It usually takes a week or so to get back on track with taking my medicine on a regular basis again.  I love the medicine, but I have noticed I cannot miss a dose or else my steady state will get messed up and it takes time to get back to normal."


"Works great for me. Can take 1/4 or 1/2 tablet most of time. Have only taken whole tab on rare occasions. Migraine is usually triggered by irregular or lack of sleep or tension, this medicine makes me sleepy. Most times I'm 100% functional within 20 minutes - no side effects."


"I have been taking Straterra for 2 years now! Side effects are awful at the beginning and last 6-8 weeks! I feel normal now and I don't have the irratability I had on other medicines. I think it depends on the person."


"I've had it for not even a month, but I have started to get very emotional over not having kids and things in general but as someone who has had very severe mental illnesses, it's nothing. I've just started spotting but not really bleeding about a week and a half before my period  so we will see how that goes, gained but then lost some weight in just 3 weeks no acne influx, but every body is different"


"I got the Nexplanon about 3 months ago, ive only gotten one period since I dont believe that is normal. But I also feel like it is almost rejecting from my arm at times. I get slight jolts of pain that doesnt last very long but does happen frequently.  Ive been feeling very sick,  moody, depression has gotten worse while being on this."


"Well, this is not the magic pill for me.  I have been on Adderall and Provigil and have not been able to tolerate/liked either.   I had hoped Provigil would help since I have heard such good things about it helping people who suffer from fatigue.   I had to snap the 200mg Provigil in half AND only take it after eating a full meal in order to not shake and not have my muscles tense up and chest feel tight.   It was pretty much like caffeine.  It woke my body up but not my mind.  I still craved a nap and had brain fog.  I told my Dr. about this and she suggested trying Nuvigil.   I have been on it two days and it feels the same as Provigil.  Maybe a little more tolerable, but no magic "I feel incredible!" feeling.  Boooooo."


"I have been on Contrave for 8 months now and have lost 65 lbs. The first month was rough with constipation and dizzy feelings but I noticed right away I wasn't eating as much as I was. I lost 8 lbs the first month, literally changing nothing about my routine. The next month I started watching what I ate and started walking and lost 12 more lbs. Then the weight loss slows down!!!! You will not lose all your weight on this pill by sitting on the couch only eating half the bag of chips!! I have hit several plateaus. Then I changed the work out I was doing or the amount of food I was eating. You do get used to being on this pill but it won't give you a free pass to eat more or eat badly. The only way to do this is to make a life style change!"


"I was a big time researcher of Latuda before, so I thought I'd add my two cents. Latuda is the only antipsychotic that ever worked for me. I was so depressed that I was in pain and the other atypicals didn't do anything but make me feel like a weird zombie with other movement side effects. Latuda works. I have to be on 3 other meds, but this is the backbone of my treatment. Finally they developed what has been a true miracle antipsychotic for me. I cannot say anything less than it saved my life."


"If I could post a picture of what this cream did to me! Picture the worst burning EVER! It took several wipes and a shower to get it off my back and it still had  bad pain from middle to the tailbone  area which was red. I was in SO much pain from this medicine it felt like my skin was on fire. I tried putting lidocaine spray on it and the the spray just melted onto my skin"


"I got the nexplanon two weeks after I have my baby March 26th 2016 I had minor spotting bad next month but that was it I haven't had any periods are spotting since then but I did notice I get headaches more frequently sometimes I get a nauseated feeling dizzy I was getting dizzy a lot but besides that so far so good"


"This medicine gave me heartburn and stomach upset.  I couldn't eat anything that didn't cause my stomach to be painful - let alone anything mildly spicy.  My doctor had to change my medicine."


"On 75 mgs once a day in the morning, and feel great! Before I suffered with panic attacks and anxiety endlessly, especially while driving and even being around strangers in a grocery store, now no anxiety at all, can now live a normal happy life. Effexor has given that to me, I probably will have to stay on it for the rest of my life and that's fine with me. Tried going off of it before for 6 years, and all my anxiety came back. Tried Celexa and that was awful major headaches with that one, also tried Wellbutrin, but I felt like I was on speed 24 hrs a day, made my anxiety go through the roof, recently in July went back to my favorite Effexor XR and feel awesome. Good luck to all of you! Anxiety is no fun."


"I used this for a solid month with an acne pill prescribed by my doctor and it worked fairly well, moderately fast, and overall a good product. However, I ran out of pills and seeing as my skin was mostly clear, had no reason to refill the prescription of pills and therefore use the gel for a couple of months. As foreseen, the acne came back, and so I decided to start using it again. I woke up the morning after I used it to find the applied areas bright red and almost tight. It felt like the worst sunburn I have ever had in my life, plus it itched. Though, if you look past the odd sunburn thing that lasted roughly a day or so, when I woke up, all of my acne was gone. I had 4-5 blaring pimples on my nose and were gone by the next morning."


"I tried it once and loved it. It was like hearing the Beatles for the first time."


"This drug finally gave me peaceful rest."


"Xanax is great. It gets rid of anxiety but makes me drowsy."


"Be careful of medically induced hypo mania. I took this for years. Helped with depression and I decided to put up with increased anxiety and racing thoughts. Without my realizing it, I became extremely manic and caused irrational and destructive behavior. Thank God, switched doctors and medicines (to Lamictal). I wish I had known this can induce manic behavior! Please be careful because mania lies to you and makes you think all is well."


"I had my Implanon inserted in October 2009 and had it removed today. At first I was very happy, felt great, it healed super fast and easy. The skin around it did itch a whole lot. No rash, just incredibly itchy skin! The itching started about 2 weeks after the procedure when the original bruise went away and lasted for another 2 weeks. I was thinking I was allergic to it and almost had it remover but the itching stopped just as suddenly as it started. I still had my periods, but they were irregular and not very heavy. I did gain 8 lb, not a big deal.
Now, the reason I had it removed is I became SUPER emotional, always unhappy for no reason, often tired, had headaches, lost sex drive and it just kept getting worse."


"I have found energy again, however I have noticed my full head of hair is now thinning. "


"Started taking on February 27th.  I was already counting calories and exercising 5-6 days a week but nothing moves the scale.

First few days I'm so tired after taking.  This seems to be the only side effect.  I have a slight headache but I think that's due to not eating as I'm just not hungry.

Goal is 80 lbs I'm 250 5ft 9."


"I have severe insomnia. My therapist prescribed me 10 mg Ambien as a short term solution. I was so amazed and excited to SLEEP! Within 20 minutes, I just fell asleep and it was so wonderful. She had warned me of sleepwalking. But I told her "that was impossible because I had never done that in my 65 years of live"!

In my 5th week of taking Ambient, I woke up with the taste of blood in my mouth, a loose tooth, a skinned knee, and bruised shoulder. Yes, I had walked in my sleep, sat in a chair and fell out of it face first. Luckily, one of my granddaughter's was spending the night and witnessed the incident. So, if you are naive like me and think it cannot happen to you, please think about it. Good luck "


"I am still a little scared of this medicine. I started with the Green starter pack and smoked all the way through it, even though I didn't need to - almost as a way to test the drug and say goodbye to my best friend/worst enemy. On day 8, no more smoking. I'm on my third pack. I notice I sleep more than I did during the 18 years I have smoked 1.5-2 packs a day. I don't have a reason to get up so early before work anymore. Funny how we adjust our lives and compromise our health and ignore our symptoms to fit/keep our habit. No wild dreams so far, but I definitely have a increased emotional response - either way, anger or tears. So far so good."


"I am on week three of 10mg celexa. I felt a difference in my mood immediately. My husband too finds I am much calmer. I was a mix bag of anxiety, irritability, anger, sadness, stress, mind racing and exhaustion. I used to snap at every little thing. The mood shifting was not only hard on me but my family as well. I couldn't live like that any more. Although I was prescribed celexa, I did not rush out to buy it I guess because I was ashamed about having to medicate myself. It took me two months to admit it to myself. I now regret not starting it earlier! It has changed me for the better. I am still the same person with the same life problems but I can better handle my problems now. I can think clearly. The negativity is gone."


"My first colonoscopy with versed/fentanyl was miserable...long-term memory loss and severe depression (never had it before).  Next colonoscopy was with propofol with same results but with the added treat of having my BP crash and getting admitted.  Just had the repeat exam unsedated and it was easy and not uncomfortable except for mild cramps for a few seconds."


"I was a 48 y/o female with nodular acne.  My pimples were painful, humiliatuing, embarrassing and just plain ugly.  I had used every over the counter treatment there was.  Once I was diagnosed with nodular acne (severe acne) my dermatologist prescribed Doxy 150mg.  By using coupons,  It is affordable.  I am 52 now  and I continue to use Doxy 50 a day at this time.  My thought is A CLEAR FACE IS PRICELESS.  No more pockets of puss or inflammation on my face."


"I've been taking Ambien for many years. The first year, I was prescribed 10 mg nightly. I had experienced a "deep sleep" and through the entire night. For the first time in my life, I didn't feel exhausted the next day. Then my dosage was changed to 5 mg, which was tough! My tolerance to the higher dose made it not work. My Dr. gave me something different to substitute while my body adjusted. It's not been 2 years, that I've been taking the 5 mg. I also take Adderall XR @ 20 mg daily and 20 mg of Prozac. During the last 6 months, I've had difficulty with memory. Being able to recall things I read, appointment times, things people had said to me. I am 52 years old, and I understand that comes with age. But has anyone had similar problems?"


"This gel was prescribed  for me by my doctor.. It was crazy expensive.. I yet to see results 1 week after.. I know it takes time but my acne hurts soo badly.. I've past my confidence on looking this way I just hope this gel really does work!"


"I'm a young teenage girl and I've struggled with acne since 6th grade and like any other young girl want to have a clear completion so I looked into acne treatments and found good review on epiduo so I went to my dermatologist and she said it was good to start and so I slowly progressed epiduo into my acne routine I used it for about 4 days and I saw progress in my acne being reduced in redness and size. I was thrilled. A few days later I went onto spring break and decided not to wear makeup and I realized around my mouth and wherever I put the epiduo gel was really red a day later after that my skin legit started to peel off my face. I stopped using it and it won't go away. HELP!!!!"


"I received the Mirena today finally, I had been looking at the reviews and they wasn't good reviews so decided I was going to give it a try anyway. Everyone has different bodies along with different symptoms I went in an my doctor told me my uterus was tilted and I was going to feel a sharp pain which I did it felt like a huge cramp and it took the breath out of me but that's the only reason why it hurt that much was because my uterus was tilted other wise it wouldn't have been that sharp. I laid there for a min and got up I had cramps but the cramps stopped due to me taking ibprofen which helps a lot. I am bleeding which is normal and it's not heavy if you've had a child before and your epidural didn't help you can handle this pain."


"I've been taking this for the past 15 years and haven't had any problems. I have an annual check up and so far, there hasn't been any concerns. I did have a urinalysis done for a quarterly blood pressure check up and there was a detection of blood in my urine. Not sure if it's as a result of taking the Premarin but, I made an appointment to go back to the doctor to follow up in 3 months."


"In June of 2016 weighting in at 298 lbs asked my doctor was there anything that could help. She originally put me on just phentermine dose 37.5mg which worked great . No real side effects ,  just had less interest in food . Found myself having more energy and after the first month I lost 15lbs . Few months later topirmate was added dose 25mg . In the beginning I experienced a bad few side effects including mood swings, and always feeling like I was burning up. But they went away after a few weeks. Since adding topirmate it has given drinks a bad almost coppery taste and if I trying eat sweets will get a nauseous feeling. Dose has been up to 50mg. In total I have so far lost almost 100lbs, still losing and couldn't be happier with results"


"I've been on this birth control for 6 months now and love it. It cleared up my acne and my boobs have gotten so much bigger. I haven't had any weight gain. The only downside is I feel like it makes me somewhat depressed, but I am on depression meds and have been for years, so I don't see that being a problem. My boyfriend and I have regular sex and he doesn't pull out, and I'm not pregnant. So the effectiveness of this is 10/10. Would highly recommend :) I don't have insurance yet and I pay $60 out of pocket for it each month. It would be a lot less if you had insurance, probably around $10 a month."


"I have vasomotor rhinitis and this is the best drug for me.  When I'm off of it for a few days I can feel my nasal passages swelling and I get an awful headache.  Before being on this I took decongestant/antihistimines and I still had post nasal drip and stuffiness and a lot of headaches.  With this drug I feel like a normal person most of the time.  The only downside is that I get more thirsty than normal but I just constantly carry water with me."


"OVIDE ROCKS!! My 7 year old contracted lice from her school/daycare. I bought three lice shampoos from the pharmacy in addition to two cans of lice spray for my house and vehicle. To no avail., these treatments did not work and had to be done over and over again. I spent approx. $50.00 on the products and another $30.00 on cleaning supplies. I was fed up with spending so much money, so I took her to the doctor. Her pediatrician prescribed OVIDE and it completely killed all of the lice AND nits. When I rinsed it out 10 hours later,  I combed through it only to find, partial flakes of dandruff (a possible side effect of OVIDE due to the dryness). NOTHING ELSE!! The smell is AWFUL but completely WORTH IT!"


"I've suffered with extreme anxiety and moods swings daily, fatigue and depression and I can tell you two weeks on Lexapro and the difference is like night and day. The anxiety improved about 2 days in and almost all sides are gone on the 8th day. The first week is the worst with tiredness and increased anxiety and moodiness and nausea but the benefits are worth it completely, I can now tolerate stress so much better. Tips: Always take it after breakfast and it prevents nausea. No problem with sleep so far for me."


"I have had an awesome experience with liletta. I got mine inserted in october of 2015 and I have loved it ever since. I had my liletta inserted about a week after my period. My insertion went smoothly. It was not very painful. Other reviews I had read said that it would be excruciating, but that wasnt the case for me. I did not have any spotting or anything like that. Everything has been normal, and on schedule.. just lighter and less painful. I had very bad periods and I wanted them gone. They are not gone altogether just yet, but they are better and lighter. I would definitely recommend IUDs to everyone! Lol I loveee it"


"the most frustrating experience of my life trying to buy this medicine
one month supply of pills $4.00   one month of suspension $526.99
Amazing right!   The Dr. recommended the suspension but simply cannot
afford it.    I have been told so many things it is a nightmare.
I have gerd but unable to afford suspension and no one offers any help.  I had to take pills financially and will continue taking with hope they will work. I make a suspension 4 times a day and drink it"


"The best way to describe how well Lyrica works for me is to say, "I'm young again! I'm a 50 yr old who has suffered with fibromyalgia for many years.  Every morning on waking I would just lay in bed dreading the pain and discomfort of something as simple as getting up and out of bed.

I was prescribed Cymbalta, Celebrex and Tramadol which help; but nothing works as well as Lyrica.  I am able to get more done now without slowing down.  Like I said before, I feel years younger.

I have read that Lyrica poses an abuse warning, but what I experience isn't really euphoria (High) as one might experience with opiates.  I experience relief of pain and maybe "light on my feet" and actually stronger muscles %u2014 but not the euphoria of opiates."


"Today I started the 2 in the morning 1 in the evening dosage. I am so lethargic and sleepy I even took a nap on my lunch break. I haven't lost any weight  either."


"I was not the really type of girl who'd sacrifice food to lose weight so I tried to taking Xenical because I've heard that it really is effective. I used to be 176 pounds, but after 2 weeks of taking Xenical, I am now weighing 158 pounds. So 18 pounds with no effort of giving up my cravings. The side effects doesn't bother me much because it always doesn't come at  the wrong time. "


"I am a 67 year old female with  Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy, arthritis and degenerative disc disease.  I started using prescribed hydrocodone pain medication about 7 years ago.  I had a major surgery for a complex hernia.  I was placed on oxycodone and the doctor continued it due to all the other pain.  We tried several different medications.  Lyrica caused a seizure and, according to  medical records, I took my clothes off and was violent with the EMT's . Most medication has caused these strange effects.  Oxycodone is all that has worked.  The pain I have is bad enough that without relief I have suicidal thoughts. I can't live with the pain.  I take 40 mg LA and 60mg SA daily.  It is a miracle medication and terrified it will be discontinued."


"I am a 67 yr old male. Had shingles about 2 years ago and my doc rx'd gabapentin. Gave only minimal pain relief. I've had insomnia for years but never sought treatment. Had tried benadryl, that made me sleepy but I would awake after 2-3 hrs. So tried one 100mg gabapentin and 25 mg of benadryl in pm. Fantastic!  I sleep 7-8 hrs of restful sleep with no noticeable side effects. The normal higher dose had no added benefit for me and tended to make me slightly dizzy."


"My girlfriend and I had to use this contraceptive twice. Both times it WORKED! I'm only a teenager so this was very important because I didn't have the money to support a baby nor did she. It was a very grueling month waiting for her period to come but it did. Her period did come about 4 days late. But if you do take it within the time, I had her take it 30 minutes before both times and it should be bound to work."


"Been on this for about 3 months now.  At first it was great in keeping me focused on tasks at work and at home but it is starting to not be as effective I feel.  My dr. prescribed me the 18.8mg variety based on my weight and also because I am a gastric bypass patient as I digest and absorb things differently which is why we didn't go the more known route of adderall.  As I've taken this medication, especially over the last month I've noticed I have more anxiety, and I'm not my normal happy go lucky self.  I have a follow up in April with my doc and will address these issues then to see what other game plan we can come up with.  I've heard from a friend that also had gastric bypass that she takes vyvanse"


"I couldn't poo for days.. Then I took these pills at 8pm and went to bed at 11pm I then woke up at 1:30am with the worst tummy pain ever I got out of bed and had a little spew. Then I sat on the toilet it began coming out then  until 7pm that night. I have to say the pain was very bad but it was much better then being blocked up and my bowel motions not coming out. I would definitely take these again I feel much better now"


"After suffering for 3 mo post op joint pain for a torn medial meniscus I was started on Voltaren pills and within 12 hours I was pain free and walked up stairs again-- a miracle! I had also developed plantar fasciitis in the opposite foot from hobbing and it immediately was gone also! I can tell after 12 hours when it is wearing off because the pain starts to return."


"Recently I got married and my insurance changed. The new insurance would not pay for the sleeping medicine I have been on the last two years. They said I had to try Lunesta, Ambien or one other before they would approve it. Last night made one full week that I was on Lunesta. Here are the reasons why I HATE it.
1. My mouth gets dry
2.  In the morning my mouth tastes like I've been drinking spoiled milk.
3. I am so very depressed I take anti depressants already
4. I am so exhausted I do not feel like I can function.
5. I do not stay asleep.
6. I feel like the entire world could implode around me and I still would not care.

This medicine is by far the worst thing I've ever been on. I wouldn't even recommend this medication to anyone!!!"


"I took Plan B on August 23 exactly an hour after the incident! I was freaking out that it didn't work because I wasn't experiencing any symptom. A week later I had major cramping. Then on Sept 3 I started to spot and on Sept 8 I finally got my period. I was a week late. The pill works ladies so just be patient. The anxiety will make you think the worse so relax!"


"First and foremost, like so many others on here--Lexapro saved my life. I was not necessarily suicidal, but litterally, had no life and was scared all the time. For the most part no one knew what I was dealing with, I was a highly respected professional who somehow managed to keep it to herself. I would sneak off to bathrooms all the time to go in a stall and calm down, if no one was in there, I would indulge on laying on the cold tile floor to just try and cool myself off. I stopped going to movies, on dates, church, anything where I felt trapped. I was not afraid of flying, I was afraid of when the time between take off and when the captain turned off the seat belt sign. This medicine gave ME back, 5 years strong. "


"Each time I have had injections, the spasms stop within a couple of days, but then I have severe weakness in my neck and weird gait disturbances and muscle weakness in my lower extremities for up to 3 months.  Just about the time I decide I won't get injections again, I have had pretty bad neck spasms and upper back pain, making me reconsider getting more treatments.  It's a vicious cycle....."


"Very good for treating depression, although there are some sexual side effects."


"Helped me with manic and depressed episodes."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Possibly due to my flu/pneumonia, had an episode of ventrical tachycardia followed by a-fib.  Had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Put on beta blockers and antibiotics in hospital and monitored for several days before going home with script for Eliquis in addition to the other meds.  The need for a blood thinner was debated because of very low risk factors. After 4th dose of Eliquis on the second day of being released, developed itchy red rash over much of face, neck, torso, arms, thighs and genital area.   Doctor advised me to stop taking  Eliquis."


"As soon as I started taking Xanax I started to feel much better. I have had anxiety and panic attacks for years and Xanax has really helped me. I have had zero side effect from taking it. So far going well."


"At the moment I've only had one dose of this 30mg Cymbalta. I've woken up from a 6 hr sleep feeling like I want to pass out and chest getting pounding. Is this normal"


"Four years ago, I began taking birth control. After a year of trying to find the "right" pill, I was experiencing extreme fatigue, mood swings, depression, constipation, skin/hair problems, weight gain, and inability to lose weight. I stopped the pill and still continued to experience these symptoms. I spent the next few years trying to lose weight and trying to convince my doctor to treat my thyroid. She wouldn't because my TSH level was normal. Two months ago, I found a doctor who prescribes Armour based on symptoms. In one month of taking 25mg of Armour daily, I have regained my health and my life. Fight for your health and ask for Armour. If it doesn't work for you, it's worth searching for a medication that does to feel healthy again."


"I get sinus headaches when it rains, when it's extremely humid or when it's extremely cold.  Entex LA would get rid of the headache within a couple of hours.  I am told that they can not sell Entex LA in the US any more since the FDA banned it.  This is the only thing that would work for me. I would love to have this drug back on the market.  The pharmacist told me that many of her customers were frustrated when it was taken off the market."


"I just started my 3rd cycle of the sprintec pills. This is my experience.

1st month: nausea, emotional, sensitive breasts, and terrible acne.
2nd: acne flare-up at the beginning of the month and similar symptoms to first month.
3rd:another acne flare-up, this time the break-out is worser than month 2.

 For me the biggest problem is the acne. I have struggled with acne my whole life, so it's nothing new to deal with. However, the worse experience I had with acne was when I was 13-15 years old; on sprintec, my skin has reversed itself to my teenage years -- maybe even a little worse.  I talked with my dermatologist and physician and both told me to stay optimistic about the future of my skin - saying clearer skin comes around month 4."


"Been on Bydureon Pen for 7 weeks now A1C dropped from 7.8 to 6.3 and I lost 7 lbs .  I've had no side effects so far and my appetite is cut in half. I eat pretty good meals, I don't get to exercise  like I would like to because I have knee problems. I am definitely satisfied with Bydureon, after been on Actos and metforming for years. I hope it continues to work this well for me."


"I have been on Zarah for about a year and for me it has done wonders. I suffered from acne to the point that on some days I wouldn't leave my house. My acne is completely gone and my skin is glowing. It's hard for me to forget to take it because once I look in the mirror and see the glow of my skin, I'm automatically reminded. I also suffered from severe cramping to the point of fainting and vomiting before bc and I have not experienced any cramping since I started taking Zarah. My period does however still last 5-7 days but it is very light which makes it nearly unnoticeable. My period is also regulated and always comes on schedule. I recommend it for anyone with skin conditions, irregular periods and bad cramping."


"I have had very good results with Viibryd except that I think my memory is getting worse since I started this medicine. I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere as a side effect, and it may just be that I am getting older.  I used to have a GREAT memory, what I called my best asset and worst fault at the same time, and I speak five languages, which is kind of a special class for an American."


"I was bleeding heavily for 3 months straight. I would be off my period a week then 3 more months of bleeding. This went on over a year while I tried just about every other type of bc pill. Also extreme nausea causing bad weight loss and severe abdominal pain. On this pill my period lasts 5 days once a month and is much lighter. Cramps are much better. Nausea was worse at first but went away after about a week. No crazy mood swings. I'm back up to a healthy weight. The only bad thing is it made me exhausted, especially when I first started taking it. I would literally sleep 15 hours a day if off work. Wouldn't even get up to eat. It has eased up a lot but still not back to normal energy."


"I find Suboxone to be the answer to my prayers.  This medicine keeps me on the straight and narrow and am VERY proud of myself."


"I started Wellbutron about 1 year ago.  I have primarily taken 300mg daily.  A while back we tried going up to 450mg, but my tremor was too bad so we decreased the dose to 300mg.  A couple of weeks ago we tried going up again, but had to stop because of the tremor and also I was having tremendous memory difficulties.  Half way through a sentence, I couldn't remember what I was talking about.  I had poor word-finding abilities, and twice in one day I couldn't remember what street I was driving on and how the streets met up at intersections.  I also went to a movie with a friend and though I remember going to the movie, I have no idea what it was about.  Back down to 300mg, I am much better, but still experiencing lesser symptoms."


"Only side effects I have is numbness in hands and feet, burning taste on tongue when I drink sodas and some mild dizziness first few minutes after taking medicine. Benefits definitely outweight these minor side effects. I went from daily migraines to less than 3 a month now!"


"My daughter has tried several other stimulant medicines with the most horrible side effects. Kapvay was tried and very well appreciated in our home and at her school. The teachers were amazed at the change and the relief for myself was a God send. "


"I had  spinal stenosis . Severe nerve pain  stemming from neck , pain killers do not work on this sort of thing . I went from severe pain to normal within an hour.  4 mg daily for a week .  After my prescription ran out that last week ,  the pain returned and I couldn't get the doctor to give me more , so I had surgery in PA . They were amazing !   They fixed my spine , however , the pain was off the charts after and I didn't understand why I had to fight to get this amazing drug!  Over the weekend I had to be rushed to the hospital due to severe pain from my surgery and swelling.   I begged for this medicine .  Gave me a shot , relief ! Ahhh  I love this drug. It's works like no other"


"Was moderately successful treatment, but side effects were very bad for me."


"Suffered with depression since early teens, but hit rock bottom when a friend committed suicide, I could no longer work, couldn't eat, had panic attacks and became suicidal. After 3-4 weeks of taking Prozac I began feeling like a normal person and after 6 weeks I felt happier than I could ever remember being for years. Prozac has saved me, will happily stay on it for life if this is how it makes me feel."


"At first I was really curious about taking it because I was way over the the weight limit (235) to be exact. But it worked I was really worried I cramped really bad like my first pregnancy so of course I thought it didn't work but I wanted to wait to see if I got my period and I did. Great product if you need back up 5 thumbs up"


"Bad ibd for years.  Didn't take long for this to kick in and let me live life again.  Worth every penny!"


"I had the Implanon implant inserted in April of 2009.  I have gained 12 pounds. I can't lose the weight though I work out 3 to 4 days a week. I have ridiculous food cravings.  I can't eat enough carbs! My breasts stay so tender and I have zero sex drive.  This is horrible as I am a newlywed.  I started to spot so my GYN had me on the Vivelle Dot for 3 months. After going to the ER with a migraine, I stopped the estrogen patch. I have now been spotting for 6 weeks with weeks of significant bleeding. I can't wait to have this removed. Oh and did I mention the anxiety!"


"Wellbutrin is the only antidepressant that has worked for me. I've tried 7 other kinds and all made me worse. Wellbutrins initial side effects were mild, mainly headache and nausea. But I noticed I was happier and more worry-free after a few weeks. I have to admit that this medicine made my appetite worse. I know its sometimes prescribed to help with obesity but it made me gain weight. If you are a smoker be careful because it will make you sick if you smoke, which is why I was able to quit smoking."


"Used it for one night, had nightmares all night, restless, tense, weird taste in my mouth....YIKES.

Longer story:  Used Ambien for almost a year then needed something to last all night.  Had to try Lunesta before insurance would cover Ambien CR.  Tried it for one night and it really was that bad.  I was so happy to see it was time to wake up in the morning so it would stop."


"i would like to say to anyone that really wants to quit abusing opiates that Subutex saved my life. I've been abusing prescription pain medicines for 5 yrs. I began taking Suboxone then after about a year switched over to Subutex because it cost less. Today I have no cravings and live a very normal life. At least I will not go to jail on a felony drug charge if I'm caught with them and I'm taking them under doctors supervision. I thank GOD and my wife for standing by me through all this. I've come a long way."


"This is really good medicine. I suffer from anxiety attacks, but when I am on this medication, I feel really calm and collective. I do get a little drowsy at times, but the other meds, I am on are possibly causing that. I have very bad mood swings and nervousness when not on this medicine. I highly recommend Serax."


"I smoked for 45 years, sometimes more than 2 packs per day. I tried just about everything and then gave Chantix a shot.  First I had the weird dreams (which I can still remember) and my cravings diminished.  Since I loved to smoke and still do, it took me over 3 months to finally quit.  However, I took it up again after 3 years of being smoke free.  Started Chantix again and now I'm smoke free.

All I can really say is that this stuff works but give it some time.  You need to remember than a lot of it is mental and breaking the habit and pleasure isn't easy.  I know that I'll never start again after my slip-up and having to do it over.  Do I still want a cigarette?  Yes, but only because I enjoy smoking.  It's not a physical craving now."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I love Beyaz. I was on Beyaz for 4 years and decided to try a new pill (Dumb). I switched to another birth control for a year and broke out terribly, battled depression and had inexplicable mood swings. I switched back to Beyaz two months ago and my acne has cleared COMPLETELY after a month and a half, my breasts grew a cup size, and I am not gaining weight. I am also a runner and was worried about the 'blood clot' scandals with this medicine, however, I have never had a problem. It is an incredible birth control pill for me and I absolutely LOVE it. I am also a nurse- from my understanding, I want to note that many of the issues with blood clots are in HIGH RISK patients- those who smoke, who are over 40 etc. Take care of your body!"


"I’ve had depression since the 11th grade and anxiety even longer. My low mood symptoms included crying a lot, secluding myself, paranoid about people watching me, self punishments, no clear thoughts, didn’t care about my future and couldn’t picture one, controlling about food and lost my love for reading and art. I felt fake around others and had to exhaust myself to seem “ok”. I’m taking 20mg and it has been nothing but a literal life saver for me. It takes the edge off of life and allows me to think rationally and focus. Give it Time, the symptoms decreased after a month or so for me. Things aren’t perfect, just incredibly more manageable, but best of all is genuinely laughing, smiling and saying “today was a good day” and meaning it."


"I’ve had Kyleena for about four months now and I must say, it is a lot better from where I began. When they say 3-6 months, they mean it. The first two months were horrible. Constant bleeding and cramping, but tough it out! It was the best decision I have ever made! My bleeding is significantly less and I don’t have to worry about children! I gave this an 8.0 because I do experience some acne and I still cramp bad occasionally but so worth it! Everyone has their own opinion!"


"I've had two yeast infections in my life. My first one was two years ago, I didn't even know what was happening to me but I got the 1 day monistat and PHEW I was crouched over bawling in bed oh, that was the worst experience of my life. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. This time, I caught it pretty early on (boyfriend gave me pink eye and antibiotics caused the YI) but still used the day 1 monistat, the one that you could use it at day and night, I put the ovule in, in the middle of my shift at work and honestly felt no pain this time. It was warm but no pain. A day after, now I feel really uncomfortable but I can definitely tell it's working"


"Will try soon.. Nothing else to hold on to.."


"I have been on this birth control for over a year now after getting off the depo (horrible side effects) and thought this would make me feel better. And it did until the last 3-4 months I thought I was depressed but reading these reviews makes me realize it must be the Sprintec. I get depressed and like other reviewers mentioned "emotionally numb". And my sex drive has been completely nonexistent making think something is incredibly wrong with me but it's just the birth control! I will be off this completely and will stick to condoms. I wish there was a safe birth control for women to take without the god awful side effects. Makes me feel bad for women everywhere wondering what is making them miserable."


"Devastating side effects - I have developed severely crippling joint pain in both knees, debilitating nerve pain in feet after 12 weeks of taking this drug for underactive thyroid.  Also experiencing muscle spasms, tremors, depression, suicidal thoughts, restlessness, some chest pains and tingling all over body. If I could have given it a lower rating, I would have."


"MY experience with this is I got sick as a dog the first entire week of taking it. I got dehydrated. If anyone has a weak stomach like me be prepared to get sick the first week of taking it. The first month I was on my period it felt like my uterus was about to explode so my doctor had to call in pain medication for that. Overall my first experience with this medication was awful, but as the months progressed everything is right where it needs to be."


"Went to the ER after experiencing chest pain following advice from my surgery nurse. While being there I mentioned being slightly nauseous. I am extremely allergic to most anti nausea medications going into anaphylactic shock , so I was given haldol. immediately after injection, my heart began beating faster and my anxiety level flew off the chart. Every muscle in my body wanted to move and spasm, I was practically vibrating in the bed seeing as it was only days after having my abdomen cut into it was pretty intense. It was the closest I have ever felt to being out of my mind. I had to be given another medication to counteract the effect of the haldol in my system."


"0.4mg dose worked after only one day and continued to work well for 1 ½ years. Then not so much. Back to doctor. Perhaps change to 0.8mg dose."


"I am 40+ female! I thought I was going to live in misery the rest of my life! I had bowel movements  every 3-5 days! I had so much bloating! I was cranky and had very little energy! I had constant pain in my back under my ribs! Since taking linzess, all of that is gone and I have had a bowel movement everyday! My energy is so much better! I am a different person! Thankful to God!"


"I've taken Ampyra for seven months.  I went from wheel chair to walker to cane in two months.  Now I only use the cane when going out.  It has done wonderful things for me."


"This medication changed my life entirely for the better. I am now able to live as a normal, productive citizen."


"I struggled with BV off and on for the past 6 months. Back in February I mentioned to my gyno that things felt and smelled off. She confirmed the presence of BV and prescribed me the vaginal gel. After the week of treatment, I forgot about it. A few weeks later, the problem was back. I put up with the symptoms until I could make it back to the doctor, and finally bit the bullet and asked for the oral medication. I was nervous after reading these reviews, but now that I'm almost finished with the treatment, I'm glad that I decided to take it. It tastes bad, I was nauseous, but the BV is almost gone. Itching was gone day 2, smell is very faint but almost gone on day 4. I finally feel normal again. To me, it was definitely worth it."


"I have had these shots 4 times now.  They say the relief lasts about 6 months, but this last time I was able to go 11 months without a shot.  I am working out every day and playing tennis again.  Love it!"


"I have been on the medicine for about 1 month.  It took all the pain away.  The side effects are awful.  Blood pressure way too high.  I already have high blood pressure and this put it over the top.  Dry mouth, sweats, insomnia at night but once I get to sleep, I sleep for hours.  Curling of fingers and toes is painful and scary.  Foggy memory.  The cons outweigh the pros.  I have tried Celexa, Paxil, Cymbalta and now Savella and none of them work.  If I did not have the side effects, I would continue taking.  I have not been pain free and able to do normal housework and other chores in years."


"After only 4 weeks of treatment with Humira for my plaque psoriasis, my skin is almost completely clear. I had large patches on my scalp, left upper arm, both elbows and knees and had spots all over my body like chicken pox. I feel amazing and I am not in pain anymore. Its a miracle. I haven't experienced any side effects and the injections don't hurt that bad. I love it!"


"After starting 2 pills a day I felt dizzy all day and in a daze.  I was worried about driving on this drug. I would stay away from this expensive drug. I waited over two days for side effects to wear off after I quit."


"I started this medicine when I was fairly young with moderate acne, I remember it doing absolutely nothing for m skin. It just made it kind of red."


"Worked great."


"It has helped a lot. Does turn my urine a neon orange. I had taken it before now about 3 years ago without any other side effects besides neon Orange urine, but this time my vision went very blurry, very quickly and scared me a lot. Then I started reading other people's reviews on it and now I understand its normal and nothing for me to freak out over. This is a great medicine either way."


"I have been  on geodon for 6 years. It works great for me. Rispedal.   made me sleepy and I couldn't think as clear. I have gained weight but due to other medication I was taking with it. My symptoms are almost all gone. I still have some paranoia but nothing like before I take a lot though 160 at night.  My condition is very manageable I just wish I didn't have this problem and didn't have to take medicine just to function normally . Good luck to all you guys searching for help."


"I didn't think this pill was that bad, nor was it my favorite.  My doctor stopped carrying Lutera which I'd been on for about a year and loved, and they said Tarina was basically the same.  I don't like it as much- my skin isn't as perfect as it was on Lutera, and some months I have spotting for 2 weeks straight- but I have not experienced any weight gain or nausea on this pill.  It also hasn't effected my mood the same way Lutera did- I was so angry on Lutera, any little thing sent me into a rage!  But because of the spotting this pill is kind of a pain.  I tried to skip my period on Tarina by skipping the brown pills and going straight to white and that seemed to wreak havoc on my period so I don't suggest doing that."


"I found that this was the only thing that helped with my pain & I'm so lucky to finally be able to function now! It works wonders for me!"


"I take 225mg a day.  I experience withdrawal symptoms throughout the day.  I have missed a couple doses and felt like I was relapsing.  The medicine helped me.  But the side effects are affecting me physically and have become more and more of a nuisance for me over the last year.  I experience a tingling in my lips and get a nervous feeling throughout the day now.  Jittery and antsy.  I soon will hopefully start the tapering process."


"I was on antibiotics & taking birth control pills, of course when taking some antibiotics it cancels out your birth control. To make a long story short, me & my boyfriend had unprotected sex & felt like the plan b pill would be the best choice of action. I took the pill about 12 hours later, the only big side effect I had was my period lasted for 22 long days! Did the pill work? Yes. Would I recommend it? Yes, just be ready for the side effects. I'll take being on my period for 22 days over being pregnant any day!"


"I've only been taking Lyza for 3 weeks now and I started breaking out the first week and I have never broken out on my face before. I have gained 7 lbs despite only eating soups and salads and cutting out carbs. The only plus side to this is I haven't gotten a killer migraine before the start of my period. I was put on Lyza due to my hormonal migraines and it has helped but I would rather suffer the migraine than gain weight so I'm getting off these pills."


"Lexapro (escitalopram) has saved my life twice.  8 years ago it helped pull me out of horrible depression/anxiety from postpartum depression after my 3rd child was born.  I actually ended up in the ER's psych ward.  This time I fell back into a horrible place at the beginning of the holiday season.  No real reason this time.  Just horribly depressed and full of anxiety.  I take 10 mg every day and I am in my 6th week.The differences is night and day.  I can sleep, eat, and enjoy life again with out waiting for the other shoe to drop.  I am very grateful, and would recommend this medicine to anyone who is as scared as I was."


"I have been taking Bystolic for a month and a half now.  My blood pressure topped out at 214/122 while I was pregnant, and after many tests, I was diagnosed with chronic hypertension. I was switched around a lot but nothing worked for me until my doctor put me on Valturna and Bystolic.  Bystolic works well for bringing down diastolic pressure, which seems to be my problem.  I started on 40 mg/day and am down to 20 mg/day.  I'm bottoming out so I'm sure he'll be lowering my dose again.  It does make you tired at first but people should wait it out. The effects of this medicine can take 2 to 4 weeks to fully work.  I'm no longer tired and my blood pressure is significantly lower and safe now."


"I have attempted sobriety several times, all resulting in returning to alcohol. I attempted Antabuse once and panicked.

I have learned from my experiences. I have been sober for over 3 months now, started Antabuse two weeks ago. Now it is my system I could not rate it high enough but would stress being in the correct state of mind is essential. I have not succeeded in the past but am extremely confident that I can and will this time.

PREFERENCE?"


"I got birth control for the first time in my life!! After doing a lot of research and asking friends around hearing horrific feedbacks I was very skeptical. But being in serious relationship having unprotected sex left me no choice. I m allergic to latex so condoms were not an option...

Long story short I got implanon back in March, and monitored my eating habits and I did notice first month a had 2 or 3 breakouts that left dark spots which are gone with use of acne medicine nothing severe no weight gain or any other side effects. Little difference in mood in the beginning and every month I get light spotting during my period cycle. Overall this birth control has been very effective even though my Bf released sperm inside....!!!!"


"I have chronic migraines and am on all types of medicine for them. Sometimes every month or so I get one that'll last a week. Yes a week. And I go to my primary doctor and he give me Nubain. It really is a wonderful drug for migraines I have been using it for three years now. It's completely non addicting. And it takes away my severe migraine in just 15 minutes . Weeks of pain gone after one shot ."


"I've been taking BELVIQ for almost 4 months without any weight loss. I have been eating healthy meals and walking about a mile and more practically every day. Why won't the weight start falling off? Please help. Tat"


"I started Xyrem about 3 months ago, and I couldn't happier. I tried Nuvigil, Wellbutrin, Ritalin, and Prozac, and nothing kept me from sleeping 14 hours a day with hallucinations and cataplexy. After just a few weeks, I was able to stay awake ALL DAY LONG, and I haven't had ANY cataplexy in the past two months. I also got to cut my stimulant use by 2/3 during the day. I was nauseated at first, but after a few weeks it went away. I have also lost 30 pounds without trying after starting this medicine, even though it makes me hungry at night. I still have sleep attacks, but they are usually once every one or two weeks. I would much rather have that than everyday!"


"They gave me Stadol when I was in labor with my son. It made me hallucinate badly. "


"I have had it all basically. Had a manic episode in 2009, and then a repeat in 2011, but not as severe. I was okay before that had had no problems with anything maybe a little anxiety. Now that I am older and on my own most days I've had some pretty rocky months, and I was concerned and a bit frightened that the depression would rip me up. I was hesitant to try it because I take Ativan during the day. My doctor suggested Abilify. I have bipolar as well and can't take any antidepressants. He told me to start with a quarter for a week, and really thought it wouldn't work. It was a miracle. I then started taking 2mg at night and have been noticing I've been waking up earlier. Doing things that I would hold off till 3pm. Wonderful."


"This is an amazing solution for acne. If you are getting flaky skin or it's burning you are using too much. You only need a lea size (even smaller) amount to rub everywhere. I have been on it for 2 years and very rarely get a pimple anymore. Even after this long of I put more that a pea amount on I get blotchy and flaky so be very frugal!"


"I'm on 10 months in Suboxone program. I've weaned down from 2 x 2/8mg strips/day, to 1.5/day. Recently I went to 1 and 1/4 a day, and tried for 1 and 1/8 per day. That proved to be way to fast, and I was in bad withdrawal at work. I'm back to 1 and 1/4 for now. Doctor office scheduled me for 5 days AFTER script ran out. So I had to wean just so I wouldn't go without. My Doctor required that I see a psychologist, and psychiatrist. The CBT therapy is saving my life. I've learned why I abused these pills, and am learning how to cope without. I want off, but patience is a must. Suboxone is great, don't let others judge you. If your on it, you've taken an important step. Good Luck!"


"I started taking this after Celexa stopped working for me (from Celexa to Lexapro). I noticed the results immediately. SSRIs work incredibly fast for me, within hours. I have no sexual dysfunction like with some other SSRIs. I started from 10mg to balance the 20mg of Celexa since they are the same. I then went to 20mg of Lexapro. I have been spaced out since. I think that I get more frequent depersonalization. It does help with my anxiety levels most of the time. However, it doesn't really effect my OCD. I just got put on 30 mg, which I started today and am skeptical about it. I don't want to feel like a zombie all day, or wake up everyday with horrible depersonalization. Overall it is okay for reducing anxiety."


"The only antibiotic that ALWAYS works on my recurring sinus infections. Easy on the stomach also."


"I am 40 years old. I started taking Phentermine 37.5mg 6 weeks ago, and have been doing a 2000 calorie or less diet (because it is hard to eat that much, just not hungry). Just went to the doctor today, I have lost 23 lbs. I did experience a little insomnia the first couple of days but I take the pill at 5:30am before work and that seems to help. I sweat a lot for most part of the morning and have a lot of energy but dry mouth is definitely a side effect, but it helps with getting you to drink the amount of water you need to be drinking if you are not a water drinker like me. I do have a significant amount of weight to lose so hopefully the weight loss continues at this rate."


"Works well but puts on tons of weight."


"I was prescribed this due to acne around my chin/ forehead and black heads on my nose as well as my cheeks. The first two days of applying this at night it was fine. On the third day I woke up to wash my face and noticed that my face was red and when I used my daily face wash it stung like crazy. After washing my face, I always use a facial moisturizer, and that even stung when I put it on! Later on in the day I noticed that my face was so flaky. I did not apply the following two days due to stinging and extreme dryness. I plan to use it again when my symptoms die down, but instead of using it every day.. I'll use it every other day instead. I think that this product is too harsh to use on your face every day."


"I love this birth control because it's very convenient with me. I'm  always busy, to busy taking care of my five month old I would end up forgetting to take pills...which is how we ended up with a baby. It is very effective. We have unprotected sex everytime we have sex (he cums in me) and I haven't gotten pregnant at all which is wonderful because  another kid would end up driving me up the wall. Haha. I also don't get my period anymore which I like because  I used to spend so much money on tampons that I'd have no money for anything else. Heavy bleeder over here. Now the only issues I'm having is my acne is extremely bad and it's never been bad at all for me until I got the implant also I get lots of vaginal discharge now."


"Smoked for 13 years, tried patches for years and the longest I had done was 1 month. I started the tablets on my 3 week holiday (I did get ill, couldn't sleep properly and was sad) but at the end of the day it worked and I only took 2 weeks worth of the pills before I stopped taking them completely."


"Two days ago I was getting out of my car . I slipped on the gravel, twisting and slipping the lower discs in my back. For two days I haven't been able to move without excruciating pain . I have been crying for two days I've taken Advil, Tylenol, Motrin muscle relaxers. Just a few hours ago my friend cones over hands me two aleves and some warm water. Within 30minutes I'm not lying the pain is gone. Thank you aleve, i promise to pass the word of your greatness."


"I've tried a lot of migraine drugs and this one didn't help me."


"I've been on depo for about 2 years. I just got my shot in feb 3. everything was good then I started to bleed heavy the first time but now it's light. I would even bleed after sex. The bleeding would stop for a couple of hours but it would come right back. It's an everyday thing!!! I've also been having pelvic and back pain really bad."


"This is the first pill that I've tried which I've liked being on; I've had no acne, my periods are more manageable with mood swings GREATLY reduced (a blessing). My breasts also grew which I was pleased about as I'm usually a B cup. I had a little soreness from that but not huge amount. The only downside is weight gain. I've put on a couple of pounds and cannot seem to shift it, which is very unusual for me. I'm eating 1500 calories per day and have a varied, healthy diet but I still seem to be maintains or even gaining weight, which is a little depressing. I'm not sure I will give up on it just yet though as its great in all other respects."


"I am 55 years old and went through menapause 2 years ago. I have still got my uterus and after my yearly visit to my gynae he decided to put me on Angeliq for my hot flushes.  After taking them for 3 weeks and noticing absolutely no change, started a period which lasted for 9 days (haven't had a period in 2 years).  After the bleeding stopped I started with nausea and severe cramping.  Phoned the gynae's rooms and was told it's normal and to carry on with the pills but the cramping has got progressively worse so have stopped taking them.  I am petrified to try anything else!!!"


"Norco works great for severe knee pain and migraines."


"(Update)7 weeks on the contrave pill. 0 lbs lost. Still the side effect fatigue all the time still manage to exercise and diet. My doctor recommended 3 months on the pill but for me it is been a waste of money. Very disappointed. I'll stop taking them not willing to spend more money in something that doesn't work for me."


"I take 50mg at bedtime. It works great for sleep and anxiety. However if I miss even one day I suffer severe headaches and nausea."
