"I have muscle atrophy and have been taking MS Contin for about a year now. I started taking 15mg in the morning and 15mg in the afternoon. That stopped working. So we went to 30mg in the morning and 15mg in the afternoon. That stopped working so now I just started taking 30mg twice a day and so far it's working. I have a lot of pain but we will see how long this dose works for. I think it has a lot of side effects as well. But I couldn't live without it."


"I started taking this medication for migraines yesterday although I was prescribed it about a month ago. I was very hesitant to start it because of the side affects, but Monday I had the worst migraine with aura I have had in about 6 months. I am taking 25 mg twice a day. My provider wants me slowly elevating by 25 mg per week until I reach 150. I feel very cloudy today, but it might be because I am still recovering from my migraine. I will update in a month."


"Literally crazy for 3 years with andormal periods on top of it, worst birth control ever. Only thing it is good for not getting pregnant. You can go right ahead put this in your arm, you will regret it."


"It worked great but, a little slower than I wanted."


"Nurse practitioner started me on this for high blood pressure (161/98), rapid pulse (118) and a slight murmur she heard while listening to my heart. At this exam I weighed 222. I came back in a month and was up to 233. No change in diet exercise routine, or anything. Came back a month later. She weighed me again and I was up

to 238. BP was hardly changed: 155/98. She decided to take me off and get me started on a diuretic."


"Dr. started me on Endep 2 months ago for chronic pain in the long bones caused by side effects from Chronic Myaloid Leukaemia medication. It's the first time in nine years that I have felt "almost" normal!
It makes me tired so I take it at night. The only drawback is dry mouth and loss of taste. The taste thing is driving me up the wall, and I don't know that I can live with it. So now I have to weigh up the pros & cons of living without tasting my food, or living without pain."


"I started with infection in my sinus that was mild. Then I got a bad nosebleed that was unrelated to the infection. I had to get one complete side of my nose packed all the way to the sinus cavity (uncomfortable). The doctor gave me Augmentin 875-125 for 2 weeks so no further infection ensued. Almost done with it now and it worked extremely well for the infection. Like some have said, make sure that you have a restroom close by. It will make your gas pretty much unbearably crude."


"Horrible double vision keeps getting worse.  On my 3rd set of glasses and 2nd try at prism lenses.  Trying again soon."


"I have had migraine for 20 years and been on every migraine medicine.  I am diagnosed as chronic with 15 or more migraine days a month. My doctor is very progressive with new treatments and offered zecuity because it is considered to be very clean as far as triptan side effects and no hangover or fog. I was properly trained on how to use the medicine with insuring a good seal, since it is a patch and forewarned that it can be uncomfortable the first 5 or 10 minutes. I put it on, ensuring a good seal. Activated the red LED button. It was prickly for about 10 minutes. Annoying, but not painful. My migraine was completely gone in 30 minutes. I had redness at the active site of delivery but it went away in a few days. No other side effects."


"I've been on Contrave since March 10th. Lots of side effects in the beginning, but they mostly have subsided. I am only dealing with extreme dry mouth. I absolutely love this med.  Not only does it control cravings, I eat less; make better choices; and my impulses and anxiety is under control. I've lost 20lbs so far. It's pricey, but worth it."


"Embeda has changed my life.  I can actually walk, sweep, do normal things again."


"After having taken this drug for 2 months, I got an awful, foul taste in my mouth and could not have anything touch my tongue without gagging and a feeling of something in my throat after visiting 5 doctors who just looked at me like I was crazy and never heard of anything like that one said it was the medication.  I stopped taking it on Nov 2 this is Dec 1 and I still cannot eat or drink anything other than water.  I have lost about 25 pounds.  It is making me weak and tired and have no quality of life at this point.  I no longer care about the toenail fungus I have been so sick with the taste, smell problem that the toenail problem is the very least of my worries.  Missed Thanksgiving and hoping I won't miss Christmas. Don't take it!!"


"Did absolutely nothing at all....."


"I've had the Implanon since May 2010. It was a quick & easy insertion, just left me a tiny bruise & a little scar that I don't even notice. I had a period after the insertion and now I have my period about every 5 or 6 months. I've had no weight gain, actually I'm losing weight. No acne or any hormonal changes. I've used everything from the pill to the IUD and the Implanon has given me the best results."


"I had a minor UTI, I just couldn't seem to clear it out of my system so I got prescribed with Macrobid. The first day I took it, I felt a little drowsy but nothing major. The second day, dose two, I began to feel very drained and had no energy. I thought maybe I just needed sleep so I tried to nap but I just lay there in discomfort and exhaustion. I began to have cold/ flu symptoms. I became very dizzy and nauseous. I felt like I was spinning. I was bed ridden and cried from how bad I was feeling. It did help my UTI symptoms but I am not sure if it's worth it."


"My husband was prescribed this medication since insurance won't cover Androgel.  It literally smells like dead animal.  Anyone who says women love this stuff is delusional.  It makes both of us gag."


"Changed my life. I'm almost 30 years old, and my life would have been so different if i had known about Hypercare growing up!"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency

"Upon taking one tablet of centrum silver multimineral/women 50 plus and within one to two hours I am experiencing nausea, vomiting and shortly after (within an hour) diarrhea.  It finally subsides after several hours.  I am not sure this is worth taking this multi vitamin.  It may be all the minerals in the vitamin..."


"I was diagnosed with signs of a yeast infection. Having been sick previously. I had taken a strong antibiotic.  Microbid. Probably caused the yeast infection. My doctor gave me the dose of 1 pill. I had never heard of it. Usually I would have had to use a cream. Now my vagina has redness inside. Kinda like its burned. Tomorrow I'll be calling the doctors office to be checked. Maybe it was too strong. I don't know. We'll see"


"I've had the NuvaRing in now for over a year, maybe almost 3 years now.
Pros: not remembering to take a pill every day, minimal acne(I've never had serious acne although), and  light periods
Cons: will poke out and this is painful!, while having sex with it in is sometimes painful. I'm bloated all the time! I eat a health diet exercise at least 3 times a week, and I was not bloated like this until the Nuvaring.
Overall I would not recommend this, because I feel the cons weigh out the pros."


"I started taking Micronor pill after the Cerell pill didn't agree with me. I was on Micronor for 3 weeks and had to stop it, I was getting different side effects, my breasts were so sore I could barely touch them and I was getting cramp constantly (upto the point I was taking tablets every four hours) and then I started getting really weird cramps which I can only describe as contractions, I felt hot and sweaty with these pains and felt like I was going to pass out, I stopped taking it after I had 3 of these attacks as it was making me feel unwell. Has anyone else had this side effect on Micronor pill? I haven't had any since stopping this pill. The only good thing about it was it did actually stop the bleeding."


"I love this product! I am in my upper 30s and have been dealing with acne off and on for years.  I almost gave up on having clear skin until I started this Epiduo.  Miracle worker!"


"I find these are excellent medication

Top Notch!"


"Pros: Didn't get pregnant, regular periods, no cramping, no weight loss

Cons: NO libido at all, heavy periods on the first two days

I have been on the pill, the shot, and Nuvaring. I would LOVE this birth control if it weren't for the absence of libido on it. If you only want it regulate your period, I would suggest it."


"As far as effectiveness, yes the Implanon is effective in preventing birth control. That's the ONLY plus. I had the Implanon for 1 year, and I bled daily for 1 year. In the beginning I had no emotional or hormonal side effects...about 6 months in I became very paranoid, moody, anxious, emotional, and was becoming depressed before I finally had it taken out. I did not gain weight, but I did have very severe acne, to the point of (ineffective) dermatologist visits. I am writing this review just to tell other women to very careful consider it and your other options before having this birth control inserted. Both the insertion and removal are painful and leaves a nasty scar. If you have the option of other bc methods, take it."


"I have no known side effects, Asacol changed my life."


"I broke my upper arm and was given 5-325 for pain.  It was very effective with no noticeable side effects.  I slept really well, too, even in the sling."


"Got Skyla inserted the day after my period ended,  it hurt just a bit, like it should. (I've never had kids btw) I got light headed, nauseas, and the urge to take a dump (which I did right after). Within the 30 minutes after insertion I threw up 3x & felt the need to just lay down but literally right after that i was fine...just mild cramping. Was able to drive home. I took 3 Aleve pills once I felt cramping (6/10) *aleve is a life saver for cramps* I continued to take the Aleve pills till day 3 and on day 4 I felt light cramping and started noticing a light lower back pain when laying down. It's day 7 & I just got in bed, I feel the light lower back pain still. (since day 1 I've also had brown discharge, still do *no bad smell*)"


"Today I recieved results from an STD test that was given to me by my OBGYN, unfortunately the results came back positive for Chlamydia. I've only had sex with one person so I was pretty devastated but luckily I was prescribed 2 Azithromycin 500mg tablets. The side effects are pretty strange considering that you may get dizzy, become weak, it may interfere with your vision, and it may or may not cause mild stomach pain. My best advice to you is to drink tons of water and do not take the medication on an empty stomach and it may be best to take the medicine when you're some place comfortable. Personally, all of the side effects are worth it because in the end you'll be free of an STD. Good luck!

(No more unprotected sex for me!)"


"I was given this medication to lower my blood pressure. After taking it for one day my BP went from 165/100 to 122/80. It worked perfectly for that. BUT... I have had headaches and nausea every single day since I started this medication...which was a week ago."


"I've been using Belviq for 3 days now and I will admit I was afraid to start using Belviq because of the reviews I have read. Especially being a single parent with a 2 year old, I wondered if this would be more stressful or if it would help. I do have slight issues with headaches, but it's not unbearable and taking tylenol takes the edge off. I've experienced both bursts of energy and a little drowsiness, again, nothing that's not bearable. Overall I would say I like using Belviq. The fact of taking the medication makes you more aware of what needs to be done in order to be fit, but it really does curb the appetite. I take it with food, and so far I've lost about a pound a day"


"So far I am able to control my pain with 10-325. I have another fusion in July. I hope this will be the end of needing medicine to control my severe pain."


"Bad headache. Kinda tough to get the dose timing right so she's "in the mood" for the 4 hours that its working."


"I received an injection cocktail of Nubain and Phenergren after suffering from a Migrane headache that had lasted for 6 days. I was in ER for 4 days before that and the injections they gave me there wore off and the pain was back.  I was prescribed Fiorcet and it helped to some degree, but the headache was back when the medicine wore off.  Once I received the Nubain, I've only had to take 1 Fiorcet, and this morning, for the first time in a week, I've been able to wake up with no pain."


"Not so effective as it is when given with many combinations."


"I purchased Ayr Nasal Mist after experiencing another nose bleed and reading that saline spray would help keep nose not so dry.  Immediately after taking just a small spray in each nostril I developed a sore throat, sneezing and throat irritation similar to a cold.  I have not taken any more of this product and my symptoms are slowly clearing up.  I also experienced headaches.  At first I thought it was just a coincidence and I was getting a cold but after reading about this product now I know I cannot use it ever again.  I should have read this before I purchased it."


"I have been suffering headaches for three years now. I have been told it is originating from my neck. Arthritis bone spurs and a nerve irritation. I would only need arthritis pain medicines but am allergic to NSAIDS. Tried Tylenol 3 hydrocodone etc. Have have an RFA and injected pain medicines, not much help. Finally put on Avinza 90mg and am happy with results. After three months on Avinza life is much better. I also take Percocet 10/325 for breakthrough pain, but am able to tolerate and work and most of all play golf again. No problem with the constipation as I drink lots of water all day. Love this drug. If you don't already know Avinza offers a discount coupon. New coupon due out in January to help pay. Cut my out of pocket expence by 90%. I pay $17.00."


"I gave the Yasmin 10/10 as I started taking it for birth control and I did not become pregnant. But I want to point out some other effects Yasmin had on my body. I originally changed from Microgynon to Yasmin after a period of taking no birth control as I heard Yasmin could improve mood and gives some women a feeling of well-being, which I did experience. Yasmin also gave me slightly larger breasts and I lost about half a stone in weight.

The reason I stopped taking Yasmin was because of a sudden dramatic appearance of cellulite on my thighs and bum. I am a UK size 6 and have never had cellulite before in my life (I'm 26),  I have been taking Microgynon again for 2mths and the cellulite has completely vanished."


"I went on this medication two separate times for depression and anxiety. Both times it helped a little, but still the least effective compared to other things I have tried. When I tried to increase my dose I had a 3-day long migraine. I ave to give this medication low ratings for the bad side effects and the withdrawal symptoms I am experiencing from coming off of the drug currently.

I have had migraines for 6 days in a row now even though I am weaning off of the drug. I have digestion issues, am exhausted and breathless, and I am having night sweats. I hope this ends soon."


"After a lumpectomy for stage 1 Breast Cancer, I was prescribed two other aromatase inhibitors prior to Femara.  I had occasional head pain in one spot from all of them.  I also had trigger finger and terrible knee pain from Arimidex.  My doctor then put me on brand name Femara and the joint pain, head pain, and trigger finger all went away.  What is bothering me now is the hair loss (can see my scalp!), memory loss--constantly groping for words.  Sometimes I do feel like I'm "foggy" but mostly I just can't remember words.  I feel it is getting worse as time goes on and I do not understand why others report the same but there is no mention of this in the patient information leaflet."


"I'm a chronic pain patient who has had three lumbar spinal fusions plus eight pedicle screws and plates. The anxiety started after almost 16 years of daily pain. If it weren't for Klonopin and Avinza, I couldn't work. I'm an engineer and go to work every day. Some days are tough and I need help getting out of the car when I get home, but with these medicines I'm still working and enjoying life."


"I've had implanon for 2 years now and I LOVE it. I Have No Worries Whatsoever With This Birth Control. I Don't Even Have My Period Much With It, Which I Gladly Like. I HIGHLY and FULLY RECOMMEND To Try It."


"I had the Skyla inserted today and it really wasn't that bad! The reviews I had seen made me very anxious and nervous, but the whole process took maybe 8-10 minutes. I took dilation pills starting two days beforehand and up until the morning of And 1000mg of Tylonel about 40 minutes beforehand. I did not use any numbing cream. My doctor just cleaned out the area and then put it in. While it didn't go in easily at first, it didn't cause more than about a minute of intense period cramp pain. It wasn't a sharp pain either, just crept up on you. Afterwards I laid down a bit as I was a bit sweaty but felt fine! I even went and did errands the rest of the day. No cramps really for the rest of the day honestly. I would def recommend :)"


"I started taking Bydureon 8 weeks ago.  My Blood Sugars were quite erratic.  They have been steady at 119 to 154.  Four weeks ago I developed a dry mouth.   Drinking water all day.  I lost 15 lbs.  I went to the dentist for my four month clean and a wisdom tooth that was perfectly normal had to be extracted.   I stopped taking Bydureon and I no longer have a dry mouth."


"I'm gonna start with saying do not read all the negative reviews! I was iffy about taking this and read the reviews, huge mistake... I had anxiety about taking the anxiety medicine. I waited a few days before taking it and after speaking to a few people who have been on it and a friend of mine who is a pharmacist, I decided I would try it! I am so surprised at how different everything is, so different I can't believe this is normal for people. I often catch myself thinking about how clear my mind is and I'm not freaking out about car accidents, fires, natural disasters or death. I'm not living in fear or anything, although it has only been a few days I can definitely tell a difference the only side effect so far is cotton mouth. Good luck:)"


"Was on it for 3 years. Mostly used to help treat PMS, cramps and headache. While those never really went away just delayed 3 months were less severe, until recently. Lately been having horrible cramps about a week before, and some mild spotting. Did not have my hormone headache and cramps were tolerable with one month bc. Recently talked to OBGYN , she thinks this is my bodies way of telling me should have my period once a month, so back to the one month packs."


"I have been on fluoxetine for just over 3 weeks, I started to feel a bit better after 10 days or so, then the last couple of days I been feeling very teary and anxious, I was given diazepam at the start to control the anxiety which I only took a couple of, but find I have had to take them the last couple of days, hope this is just part of the tablets settling and will get better."


"This is the worst drug I have ever taken. Two weeks after taking it my breast swell up they wore so painful I can hardly work... I had problems bleeding last night and I feel most of my body itching... my waist hurts... my energy levels are so low it feel like I am so sick... I feel cold and depressed .... I never feel so bad"


"Offered no pain relief at all."


"I have suffered from erectile dysfunction since I was 16!  I snapped the blood vessels in the base of my penis.  I began using Muse (suppositories you place in your urethra).  Then Viagra was approved.  So, I have been using Viagra for 16 years, I tried Levitra and Cialis when they were available, but they didn't work as well as Viagra.  I got a prescription for Stendra last week and tried it today.  I didn't get the pressure in my head like I do with Viagra, and also I didn't get the blueish tint to everything.  However, it doesn't work as well as Viagra.  My erections would come and go.  I guess everyone is different!  I was hoping it would work as well as Viagra without the side effects.  I guess I will stick to my little blue pill!"


"I think this has to be the best product.  I've been dealing with problems from endometriosis since I was 12.  Abnormal cycles, painful abdomen, bowel problems, etc.  I had laser surgery to remove the endometriosis in July last year and afterward was placed on Ovcon 35 continuous.  I had a small amount of breakthrough bleeding and pain for about a month after starting treatment. It's great now. I'm hoping to avoid further surgery for quite a bit of time."


"I love Mirena and I would recommend it. Its convenient and I have not experienced a single issue off the laundry list of complaints that some people have. I suppose my fiance would say he could feel the string, which caused some discomfort at first, but that is no longer an issue. "


"I got nexplanon inserted November 6th and I didn't bleed for 2 weeks. Then after that I kept bleeding nonstop for a whole month. I finally got off on the 19th of December and I didn't bleed that whole week. Then after that week I still have been bleeding ever since. Monday I am getting the shot and I will have my implant removed I do not like this method. It works because you can't get pregnant because it's always blood"


"Originally my doctor prescribed me Klonopin (anti-anxiety medicine) and I took it for a year and started to feel very slow. I had a very blunt expression on my face and my family started to begin to think I was depressed. I saw another doctor and he prescribed me Prozac. It has relieved much of my depression and anxiety. I smile more and I think a bit clearer now. I don't worry all the time and I actually feel worth something. The first 3-4 weeks you don't see much improvement but once you hit 2 months you start to feel a lot better (at least I did). However, there are some sexual side effects, and you can feel drowsy. "


"I am 20 years old and have had relatively clear skin my whole life. Just over a month ago I had a horrific breakout, the likes of which i'd never seen! Before, I'd stress out over one little spot on my chin whereas now my whole face was riddled with them. I was prescribed Yasmin and just wanted to say - it's not a quick fix! I've been on it almost a month now and I'd say my acne has gotten twice as bad - the spots are mostly comedonal acne and my uneven face and complexion make me extremely self conscious. Following reading the other good reviews, I'm looking forward to the good skin to come, but just needed to say that it's certainly not here yet! Hoping Yasmin follows the rule that "sometimes things get worse before they get better"!"


"I used to experience severe panic attacks every single day until I decided to see a doctor.  Have not had a single attack since I started on pristiq.  Best antidepressant I have ever taken."


"I was prescribed the 400mg version of to be taken 3 times a day for 5 days to treat a dental abscess.

The tablets did a great job at treating the abscess but they did have side effects. I did research the tablets prior to taking them and heard they were not the nicest so I was prepared for that.

After a day of taking them I felt quite drowsy for 2 days. Once the drowisness subsided I began to feel nauseous but did not vomit and I developed a terrible taste in my mouth.

If you do have to take them, I recommend taking them inbetween your food as I found it helped with the nausea and also to avoid the immediate nasty after taste.

Overall I found them to be brilliant at treating the abscess so would take them again."


"I never write reviews but this time I had too.  I am 24 years old and had depression since I was in fifth grade. It was manageable up until I graduated high school. When I started working in taking on more responsibilities I started getting depression really bad . To the point I cannot handle anything anymore. I tried Venlafaxine for 5 years.  It worked good on the mood and the depression but as it went on the side effects kept getting worse and worse which made me stop taking it. Terrible withdrawal. I then took mirtazapine for 6 months didn't work. Now taking lamotrigine at 100 mg - (after upping slow) Took about two months, I have never felt this good in a long time! No more worrying no more depression! I highly recommend this!!!"


"I retried Azelex because my first time which I used for two weeks I got no results. The second time I've tried this product for over three weeks and have noticed an extreme difference with many people complimenting me on my skin. It burns and tingles for 5-10 mins but then subsides. I have sensitive skin and this did not dry my skin out at all which is great. I would definitely recommend."


"I have been back and forth from rehabs, to meetings, to sobriety, and back. I understand some of the reviews about the long term use, it's like not wanting to peel off the bandaid. The truth is that the wound under my bandaid wasn't healed. It was some what of a security for me. The security was as long as I had urges I stayed on ( one strip was the highest I ever went) I wanted sobriety in the worst way and had great responsibilities in my life that a relapse would take away. I stayed on for a little over a year and the majority of the time I was on a super slow taper- taking one away per month. Before I knew it I was off and had a great fellowship a list of meetings a car a wife and a house."


"I started taking librax for my ibs about 4 days ago. The pain is almost all gone  and I am only having 2-3 bowel movements instead of 6-10. my only complaint is that I feel like a zombie on this medicine. It has gotten a little better as the days have gone by I was just wondering if everyone experiences this in the beginning and if it goes away once you build a tolerance."


"I have taken Inderal now for a few months. I have noticed that my migraines are down to 2-4 a month. I was 5-6 a week. I was using the max dosage of Imitrex and still not getting any relief. Don't get me wrong. I love my Imitrex and can't live without it. Inderal has improved a lot of my headaches. At first I hated Inderal because I hated the idea of feeling slow and tired all the time. Now if I forget to take it my coworkers notice immediately! I get very agitated and nauseous when I have a headache to begin with and I slur my words. I want candies loaded with dyes and I get a manic-like hyperactive speech. I feel better now than I did in May. I still feel the migraines I don't feel their attacks."


"My dad was prescribe this for PTSD nightmares. He has been on several different ones over the past 20 years and this one seemed to do a good job. This has also helped his benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). My only concern is that this is also for lowering blood pressure and his is already low."


"Great great great product. Who ever invented this  should be eligible for all awards in this universe as the inventor making men active in 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 or 70.."


"I have been taking this medicine for 1.5 years, and it has been a life changer. I have generalized anxiety and fibromyalgia, both of which affected my daily life. I began noticing mood changes immediately, and the pain subsided within a month or so. I am myself again, relaxed, level headed, and able to cope with everyday stress. The only side effect I have experienced was extreme night sweats. This has subsided, as most of Cymbalta's side effects do. I ask if you are questioning whether or not to stay on the Cymbalta or to wait it out, because the side effects fade and the positive effects increase."


"Everything seemed fine, except for being super moody and crying a lot. I've had gas bloating / vomiting twice, keeping me up all night, and that never used to happen. Also a decreased libido.

Honestly not having sex is better than this."


"I had oral surgery and was prescribed Demerol which made me feel sick not to mention I could still feel the pain somewhat. I.called the doctor who then prescribed Percocet 10/325. Not only did it knock out the pain completely but the side effects were practically non existent. Just a little sweating and and kind of a warm feeling but I could function like normally. I didn't feel out of it like the Demerol made me feel. All I can say is it worked perfectly for me."


"I just started Trinessa but so far it's been good I used to have really bad nausea before and during my period really bad cramps and my period was 7 days long and extra heavy. I started Trinessa the day I started my period and there was a change right from the start. The moodiness I encountered during my period was gone, my period was lighter, my cramps albeit the first day they were there they were significantly weaker. The only down side to this is before I started I had clear skin didn't get pimples or zits nothing but after I started this I got a couple pimples. Also after I take this pill it leaves an after taste in my mouth and it makes me a tad bit lightheaded right after taking it and I have to drink some juice."


"Took 300 mg 3x day following root canal.  No side effects except mild diarrhea, which went away within 3 days after stopping the meds. Cleared up the infected area nicely.  Happy with results.  Ate yogurt every day."


"Worst pill ever. So I was just like you looking, searching, reading reviews for my next birth control and my doctor put me on this in August 2015. The first 3 months were fine (assuming my body was adapting) my skin cleared up n stuff. But then in December I started getting spotting and a period almost every other week. And oooooo I was mean! That's the reason I'm writing this! I've become some moody, mean, irritated that is starting to affect my relationship with my boyfriend and not to mention sex... I want nothing todo with it   HORRIBLE vaginal dryness. I am still on this pill and hate it! Searching for a new one but writing this review because it's changed my life :("


"I was addicted to any opiate I could get my hands on before my 17th birthday. I was taking these for my back pain and it took away the pains of life. I wanted to stop but didn't want to become a register drug addict (then I wouldn't get medicine for my back pain) so I started to buy other peoples takeaways. At first it was great but soon I noticed I was taking more and more instead of less. That was when I decided there was no other way. 11 months later I stopped taking methadone at 5mg and didn't get to many withdrawals. Methadone is good because it allows you to continue work while dropped. There were hard times but I'm glad I did it."


"This drug is effective... together with Epiduo. Why? Becase Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotics to cure bacterical infections: severe acne. Now, Epiduo is a gel with adapalene and benzoyl peroxide used to remove acne on one's face. Minocycline fights the bacteria in your body that causes acne, at the same time, Epiduo is used to remove present acne. Take Minocycline everyday but Epiduo is only used when you have "present" acne on your face. This drug MUST be taken after eating. It may impair your thinking and thoughts so don't be too shocked if it happens to you. And Epiduo MUST be used after cleansing your face and dried it. Make sure to use moisturiser. Using it for 8 months, I barely get acne now and scars on my face are healing."


"BLACK stool, orange residue in mouth (even after brushing), gave me funky breathe after chewing.

I found chewing gum would aleviate the residue and breathe."


"been on clomid for two months now...did not work for me"


"I have been diagnosed with 4 separate and distinctly different forms of depression. In addition to my taking Wellbutrin, I am taking 68mg of Concerta daily.  I have had at least 5 other ADHD medications over the course of the past year. Concerta is definitely the best of all of them.

I have experienced little side effect to this medication.  My side effects come from the Wellbutrin.  Concerta should be considered for any one who suffers from ADHD or depression.  It is a great drug."


"Started this medication exactly 1 week ago and I'm down 7.4 lbs (237.6 down to 230.2). I was given the 37.5 mg pills but have only been taking half. My doc told me to take 1/2 pill as long as I could if it was still working for me. It has 100% curbed my appetite. I literally have no urge to eat which is so unlike me! And when I do eat I am full so much sooner. I am drinking a ton of water with it. First 2 nights I had a lot of trouble sleeping but I learned to take my pill before 8am and I'd be fine. I have had constipation which still hasn't really resolved but I'm just going to increase my water and hope that improves. Will keep posting with my weekly progress!"


"Gave me really bad headaches, nausea and all over body rash."


"I have been on Paxil now for 10 months, I am on a high dose 40mg.  However it is working wonders for me.  I love how I feel, and my anxiety is a lot lower than it use to be, and I feel like I can operate in a normal fashion be it at work or out in a social situation.

The draw back, is do not run out of your prescription, always be on top of it.  I ran out of it, and the withdrawal side effects are not fun, for me I got really depressed and crying, and the headaches are horrible.   I realize I will be on this prescription for a very long time.  But for those who may not be, make sure you listen to your Dr. when getting off of it.  It is not fun when not in your system.

Again, Love love how I feel.."


"Very good to help control asthma. No side effects. Wish there was a generic, but meanwhile, worth the cost."


"Vyvanse changed my son's behavior even the first day, and he has taken Vyvanse daily for 2.5 years.  He was six when he started.  I also started taking Vyvanse, and just wish this had been around when I was a student."


"Was extremely backed up after 3 wks on tramadol followed by 6 weeks of very poor BMs. Read all these reviews, bought 2 bottles mag cit. First one 11 am, nothing.  Second one at 9pm. At 3am passed small amount, but no gurgles. At 11am next day nurse friend suggested enema, WOW did that work fast. For the next 24 hours, cleaned out system, feel amazing today."


"Ive been fighting psoriasis and arthritis since 2004 tried everything out there the only thing that has worked for me is stelera its amazing !!!"


Conjugated estrogens / medroxyprogesterone

"I am 22 and underwent Oophorectomy surgery following 2 massive ovarian cysts on each ovary. Right out of surgery I was prescribed Prempro and had to take it. I experienced hot flashes for the first few days. The Dr told me that if I felt bloated I can skip a week and I will have a small period, which I have done. I had cramps and sporadic bleeding, but the bloating never went away. I have gained a lot of weight that has been really hard to lose and I have been on this medicine for only 3 months. I also have really bad acne all over my face that I haven't had since Junior High. Once I go back to the Drs I will be asking to try another Hormone Replacement Therapy."


"I had my Implanon inserted June of this year. I bleed non stop. Since I was put on Implanon I've had really bad anxiety and my sex drive has gone down. I have very painful menstrual cramps which I can't even stand straight. I'm getting it removed in two weeks."


"Needed to stop taking due to red, swollen and painful joints side effect. Tried stopping then starting again but side effect occurred again."


"Not great for your gut long term"


"I've been on Lexapro for 5 weeks and started feeling more myself within 2 days! I no longer just lay around the house for the next day to come. I'm more active and want to have fun again. My only complaint is the constipation and lack of sex drive. Great things are that I no long binge eat when sad, food no longer makes me feel happy, and its working as a great appetite suppressant which has made weight loss much easier. My doctor added Wellbutrin to help with the sexual side effects and I hope it starts working soon."


"Miracle for me! I have burning pain in mouth and vulvadynia. Have been on this for 3 days and almost no pain. I had heavy side effects of dizziness and was lethargic 1st 2 days but am coming out of it now. Taking 25mg twice daily."


"Had colonoscopy 9:30 this morning, delayed from 9. Took Suprep 4 last night and 2:20 this morning. Bought swimmer's nose clip and put on before I mixed the Suprep and left on until after I had chugged it down (2 big long drinks and 1 short one all down in under a minute), rinsed with mouthwash, and started sucking on Jolly rancher. It was slightly salty that way but not much taste. Used cool tap water. Followed with 8oz room temperature Berry Propel or Frost Glacier Cherry every 10-15 minutes finishing my extra 32oz fluids within hour. I had no discomfort. Started working about 13 minutes both times. Low fiber 3 days prior. Clean at 2 hours first day, 1 hour this morning. Could leave but near bathroom from hours 2-4 after taking."


"Wonderful to control anxiety, as well as panic disorder."


"I started on Phen 4/11 at 254.8 & I'm 5'7". 4 days in and I'm down to 245.4lbs. HOWEVER, my stomach growls awfully. I take 37.5 around 8:30 am after breakfast.  Does anyone have suggestions on how to control afternoon snack attacks?  I'm really trying to get down at least 60 lbs by 10/31!"


"I am a 26 year old woman and I have 2 kids. I was in a really bad wreck in December 2006. I was rear ended at 55mph while I was sitting still in a construction zone. My doctor put me on percocet for the neck and back pain. It felt like a wounder drug to me. I have had a lot of medical problems in my life and I still do, it as been one surgery after another and percocet is the best pain medication that I have ever taken. Percocet is the best."


"I take three hydrocodone a day and normally take a fiber supplement but find myself in trouble sometimes. Taking this in 25mg starts working in a few hours for me and last two days ending in nausea. I'm just not happy ruining two days so I found over the counter Magnesium Citrate that you drink and fast solution with no lasting nausea."


"Uroxatral was about as effective for me as Flomax with fewer side effects.  It makes me very tired, and lightheaded sometimes, but with non of the stuffiness that I had with Flomax which was a big plus.  I'm not rating it higher because it didn't do much for my BPH pain although urinary flow was much improved.  Herbal supplements of quercetin, and beta sitosteral still work the best for me."


"I had nail fungus in four fingernails.  Two were half lifted half off the nail bed all the way up under the cuticles.  Jublia worked great for me.  I've been using it for 5 months and they are all grown out with good nail and look great.  I'm going to stop using it shortly.  My insurance didn't cover it and I used a Good Rx coupon which got the 4ml bottle down to $243.  I was happy to pay because my fingernails looked awful."


"I take 360 mg in the morning and my cluster headaches never come on."


"So I take this on and off. Well I am back on. And first off, I struggle with weight issues CONSTANTLY! Last week 5-11 I weighed 143. Today 5-20 I weigh 151!!! Haven't changed eating habits, drinking habits. Nothing. Needless to say it's nice to go to the bathroom. But when I have to fit in a wedding dress in 29 days I think I'll pass on the medication. The weight gain, water rent entire, severe bloating stomach. Think I'll pass."


"MY experience has been amazing I started on lantus and progressively my A1-C kept getting higher 100mg of lantus and slidin scale of novalog easily for ten year's . So I talked to my doctor and asked her to try teojeo with me that didn't help either my A1C was at an 8+. Two month's ago I started tresiba my A1C after two months dropped to 7.1 and I lost 16.4 #s . MY attitude my energy has increased I'm feeling a 110% better all in two months. I'm glad the rep talked to my doctor about this med it's been a life changer."


"I was on this first with tablets for a fortnight then injections once a month for 3 months. It gave me SEVERE mood swings and forgetfulness. "


"I had been experiencing undiagnosed hypothyroidism symptoms for long time without really knowing what was going on: extreme fatigue, brain fogginess,mood swings, cold. I had been having my thyroid tested for years due to my mother having had a tumor and removal of hers and yet the dr's all kept telling me the levels were fine.
I went to an Integrative Dr and he prescribed for me. I've gradually worked up to taking 45 mg a day. 60mg was too much, headache, very painful and hardened breasts, really bad PMS type symptoms and the bloating!
My biggest issue is also the puffiness and inability to lose weight! Protein shakes, cardio exercise and strength training and nothing helps. It's so frustrating!"


"I've been suffering from migraines for about 10 years.  I've tried topamax, zonegren, savella, muscle relaxants, rescue drugs and now Methergine.  I finally feel like I have my life back.  I've only had one migraine in 3 months and that migraine wasn't too bad at all.  It's wonderful.  Methergine is supposed to be taken for a set period of time, then you need time off of it.  In rare cases it causes heart/lung problems.  I had to have a chest x-ray and an echo before my migraine specialist would prescribe it.

I wish migraine researchers would take another look at this drug and refine it to come up with new solutions without any possible side effects.  For now, I have my life back and I'm grateful to my migraine doctor - Traci Purath."


"Excellent for my husband. "


"I was prescribed Zoloft because of sleeplessness, anxiety and stress related to marital issues. It helped me with sleeping and seemed to lower my anxiety and stress (my marital situation improved at the same time, so hard to say if Zoloft or my situation helped lower those). I had to stop the medicine after a month because of severe side effects, including suicidal thoughts, weight loss, generally feeling flat all of the time, and mild headaches."


"I had my wisdom teeth out and a few days later my pain medicine made me constipated. I felt that I had to go and I tried but it hurt sooooooo bad!! So I had my mom go out and get me this and I took some before I went to bed and in the morning it kinda worked. (I didn't drink enough). Then I took some more in the morning and it worked like a charm."


"Started on my 3rd week in my first pack. I'm on it to "trick my body" to make hormones to get pregnant. Dr. Recommends for 3 months. I take it at night. I am having really bad abdomen pain. I'm wondering if I have a cyst on my ovary now. Will update in two months."


"Has a low T count so endocrinologist prescribed Testosterone Cypionate, but I really hated the trips to the doctors to get the shot.  It was really helpful as injection, breathing, energy, mood, all improved - but convenience was difficult.  Switched to Androderm and was a slow downhill decline in effect, less and less, till I finally told the doctor I wasn't really noting anything beneficial. If needed again, I'll put up with the nurses and injections.

Only bad side effects was water retention, not extreme, but there."


"32 y.o. female who excerises, but due Endocrine issues severely struggles with weight loss. My Endocrinologist put me on this 4-weeks ago. I have lost 17 lbs, some of it is water weight. But, absolutely thrilled with how this is working. First, 2-weeks I had fairly moderate nausea, burping and acid reflex. The adverse side effects have mostly subsided. Now, I rarely am hungry. The thought of food is not very appealing. I can only eat 1 or 2 small meals a day. If I eat more than usual  I get a severe full feeling and stomach upset. I plan on staying on it for at least a year for hopes of significant weight loss! I tried to increase the dose to 2.4, but ended up with severe acid reflex. I titrated back to 1.8 and no issues."


"Started on Med August 7th. This is my second full week. First day I had a really dry mouth after that no side effects. I'm not really hungry and don't crave chocolate or anything as a matter of fact. No weight loss yet but it is still a very early use for me. Price was $290 and my insurance covered it all which is a blessing. Will weigh on Aug 21st."


"I was prescribed this medication for severe morning sickness about a week ago after going to a walk-in clinic. I was given a shot at the clinic, and it seemed to work. I took the medication for a few days and then suddenly began to feel extreme depression and anxiety yesterday, but less sick than before taking this drug. My vomiting has decreased to once a day on this medication, and I can sleep through most of the night now without getting sick, but I feel very anxious, chills and hot flashes, and really depressed. I am going to stop this medication immediately, as I would rather vomit all day than feel this bad."


"My father-in-law took this medication and it gave him alot of extra pyramidal movements and Tardive Dyskinesia."


"I started taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo almost a year ago and all it has done is make me crazy. The first couple of months I felt nauseous and lightheaded. It didn't help with my period if possible it made it worse. My mood went up and down all the time. I felt anxious and worried all the time and it made me feel crazy. I recently changed it and I regret not changing it sooner. "


"I have had 8 Xolair injections for Chronic Urticaria Autoimmune and I am thrilled it took four shots to get me off prednisone and to be hive free. I one by one removed all the other medicines. I HIGHLY recommend Xolair."


"Taken Linzess (145mg) for about 7 months now.  I think what people need to know is that you can experiment with the dosing of it.  My doctor prescribed it for me because I've suffered with IBS-C since my early 20s -17ys.  Like others, it caused a lot of loose stool at first, but it does get better.  I also found that if I took it every day after the initial adjustment period, it stopped working as well, so I backed off and starting taking it every 3 days.  My body doesn't get too used to it, so it is still routinely effective without having to go to a higher dose.  Also, sometimes I have bowel movements normally between doses, sometimes I don't.  The magic of this is that I don't have to freak out about it now and I don't get bloated."


"47 yr old 212 lbs .I have been on 50 mg per day of metoprolol tartrate for 5 yrs. Doctor decided to try me on 10mg Bystolic after I complained of some fatigue and light sensitivity. took it 3 weeks I loved it at first, I had a lot more energy, didnt have the usual muscle weakness, but noticed my libido was higher in the afternoon and waned off towards the evening as the medicine wore off so did my interest in sex. I also noticed that my social anxiety returned. I have always attributed the metoprolol to helping me feel calm. I was having some friends visit so I went back to the metoprolol and my anxiety definitely went away. although now I feel twice as tired. I am on the fence with this med. because of the social anxiety. (sigh)"


"I began taking Contrave on November 25, 2017.  I am relatively active but have a tremendous appetite, sweets, carbs, chocolate, etc.  I had no willpower, so my Dr. put me on this medication.  Today, January 13, 2017, I have lost 20 lbs. and am encouraged.  I did, however, have one setback.    I didn't pay enough attention to the warnings about taking cold medications.  I got a pre-Christmas cold and began cough syrups, cough drops, and  a well-known mucous remedy.  Within 3 days I had developed small bumps that looked like bug bites.  The next day they had turned into rashes on my hands, legs, shoulders, and back.  The Dr. advised my coming off the drug - the rashes disappeared in 2 days. I am back on for 2 weeks with no side effects."


"I went into the hospital over the weekend for a pancreas attack.  Nothing can be done for you other than pain management.  I was given Demerol via IV and had the best sleep of my life that entire weekend.  It was almost like a great vacation.  It went in the IV, I said bye bye, and fell asleep for hours with no pain.  I loved it, no withdrawal symptoms, no side effects.  "


"So it worked... I normally suffer from motion sickness in cars, if I'm not driving. I decided to put the patch on before a 14 hour long international flight... I didn't suffer from any motion sickness but it made me illiterate!  I could see fine except for letters and numbers (or basic shapes). So I get to the airport at my destination in Uganda and going through customs I needed to fill out a basic form about the reason for my visit etc... only I couldn't read it to save my life! I'd use it again in an emergency but be aware of the potential side effects."


"I switched to Levlen after being on Brenda for 3 years, Levlen was such a terrible choice! I got horrible skin and had dryness issues often. my period cramps were unbearable to the point of not being able to walk and my mood swings became uncontrollable. I've just moved back on to Brenda recently and these problems are already starting to go away!"


"My daughter has been on this for several years (started at 0.25mg, worked up to 0.5mg 2x a day) to help with mood/emotion, and to help her move past things when she gets emotionally "stuck" and there were times when I thought it wasn't really doing much.

Then I couldn't get it refilled for a couple days, so she didn't have any before school. They noticed something was different. They called me to ask if there had been a medicine change.

Sometimes, you think it isn't working, but at home, things are different than at school. No weight issues: 5', 98lbs."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"After reading message boards, I became so freaked out at the thought of going on Pylera, I waited 5 days before starting the regimen, but boy am I glad that I did because on day 4 my brain came back and by day 6 I was really feeling a lot better. I'm not going to lie. It was very intense. It was almost like I could feel the war going on inside of me between the pills and the bacteria, but knowing the medicine was eradicating this hideous thing made it palpable.

"


"Started at 10mg for 2 weeks and took 20 for 4 weeks. Some nausea and itchy skin first 2 weeks then no noticeable side effects. However, I did experience elevated blood pressure and severe ringing in both ears but was also taking large dose of prednisone at that time for cluster headaches. Stopped taking everything and BP returned to normal. Before the BP spike, this stuff was working exactly as stated. Have tried to restart but vomit every time."


"I am 56 just got back from 4 months in Philippines. I tried Viagra and Cialis. Cialis works great and had no problems. Vigra is good and maybe harder but a hassle waiting 2 hours after eating then about 1 hour for it to kick in. I took Viagra one time on empty stomach because didn't want to eat and wait. My eyes saw everything blue/yellow a few hours and slight headache. I prefer the yellow pill 90% of the time but keep a supply of the blues if the timing is right with meals. I return in 2 months and will make sure I have plenty of yellows and a few blues."


"I got this put in yesterday. The insertion wasn't anything terrible. I would rate it a 7.5/10. Nothing you can't handle if you've had bad cramps before. Immediately after the doc took out the tools the cramping disappeared. About 3 hours later the cramps came back, at like a 5/10 pain level. Still nothing too bad. I took some ibuprofen and went to bed and woke up today with no pain. However every once in a while the pain comes back for a couple of minutes. I had some very light bleeding immediately after insertion that lasted for a day about. Now there is little to no spotting and almost no pain.
I felt down there and it just feels a little different but i believe that it is some swelling because of the insertion process."


"I got on the shot November 12, 2015 it was fine until it was time for my menstrual cycle I was on and still haven't came off the shot was supposed to be over by February 12, 2016 it is now February 15, 2016 and it has been light and on and off until today I tried to have sex and i found out it still hasn't came off not only that it has gotten heavier since I tried to have sex"


"Like just about all the other reviews here, I find the packaging terrible.  The perforations between applicators mean nothing; you cannot break them apart.  I have to use scissors to cut apart the joined applicators.  I've used Vagifem for years and it breaks apart into individual applications easily.  I just called my doctor to change the prescription to brand name only!"


"This medicine has done an excellent job with lowering my blood pressure. However, I have been having dry eyes and gas. On the positive side, this medicine is also good for anxiety!"


"Breakthrough bleeding and very severe mood swings after one year."


"I have been taking Sprintec for three months. The first months were miserable. Bloated, sick to my stomach, irritable, ect. The worst part was that I had my period for three weeks! It was miserable. But it was just my body adjusting because now I have no problems with it at all and I love it and its cheap!"


"Wow !!! If you are taking this med. take and lay down and close your eyes. You will say and do things and not remember a thing. For real ..."


"The first taste of the Orange Moviprep hit my lips at 4pm sharp, finished the liter in approx 50 mins... 10 mins later ....."action stations"! Exactly 1 hour to start doing its thing. A few slight cramps, but all in all pretty good. Not looking forward to the next session though..
I feel empty already. Wondering if I really need the second dose. Anyhow, best to be safe, as I really don't want to do this again for another 5 years minimum! 1 liter of salty-sweet-thick-watery stuff. I can do this, especially if washing down with a nice cold beer (or 4) Got to be happy with that."


"I'm a Vegetarian who needs more iron. Made me feel much better after several months. I eat mostly grain based foods."


"I am 49 and have Bipolar II. Been on Seroquel 400 mg for one year. Initially very drowsy, restless legs, dry mouth and blocked nose, most side effects lifted after 3 months. This medicine controlled my racing thoughts, helped me concentrate (I thought I had ADD). Ironically, despite the drowsiness it lifted my extreme exhaustion (I used to have weekly Vitamin B injections because I was so tired). I no longer feel drowsy, managed not to gain weight with the help of a dietitian and an exercise program. I do get very hungry but refuse to give in to the hunger. I also take Wellburtin and Zoloft to help the depression, tearfulness and agitation. I would recommend Seroquel to Bipolar patients."


"I've been on birth control for almost 10 years. I have tried at least 8 kinds of oral contraceptive and went from feeling severe anxiety, spotting, nauseous, etc. The only pill that had seemed to work for me was Seasonale (which if you want to go the oral route, I definitely recommend) however couple of years ago it stopped working for me and had to come off it, switched to another oral and actually became pregnant (used precautions, was aware that it can take 3-6 months to work, had been on it for 8). After that I decided to try the patch and I absolutely love it. My sex drive is back with flying colors, no mood swings, no spotting. In the beginning I did feel a little nauseous but that went away in no time. I definitely recommend it."


"Very good for folliculitis!  Tried everything else. Gave me relief after first application."


"I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer seven years ago - Stage 2A. About a year after I had a Colonoscopy and was found to have UC at the resection. Few years later I was also diagnosed with proctitis. When I get a flare 2-3 times a year I immediately have the enemas filled. It’s a two week process but usually after the first four or five days the inflammation starts to go down. I highly recommend it based on my personal experience."


"If I take this for sinusitis, it doesn't clear it up and in a few days I'm even sicker. I don't like taking Augmentin and Biaxin, but they're the only ones that have worked for me."


"I was on Ortho Tri for 4 years but was starting to have some breakthrough bleeding issues with it so my doctor put me on Yaz. I'm a broke Graduate student so I went on Gianvi instead. I keep seeing all these negative reviews on here about it, but I LOVE Gianvi. My acne has almost gone away and my cramps have lessened. I did, however, have some issues adjusting to a 4 day period instead of a week long one, but after a few months that straightened out. I love Gianvi and have been on it for 6 months without issue."


"Dexilant caused diarrhea / IBS / Dairy allergy- I was prescribed it for severe heartburn /hiatus hernia/ stomach inflam. and it helped a lot.  I stopped taking dexilant 10 months ago due to severe diarrhea, cramps,nausea, bile, waking in middle of night with cramps and 1/2 hour painfull diarrhea / constipation combo /awfull cramps, gas- what I've read on this thread I'm not alone. I hate to tell those who  recently started this that  have had these issues with dexilant and  10 months off this poison and I'm still suffering. I now have a dairy allergy, only after removing dairy from my diet are my severe symptoms relieved. I eat any dairy and I'm sick again for 2-3 days. Existing IBS is worse than before, now a daily struggle. "


"This medicine has given me my life back. I went to the ER three times last week alone, and was finding myself in the ER twice a week on a regular basis. Finally the doctor there prescribed me this medicine. It works wonders, and puts my anxiety to a minimum. It helps with the chest and throat tightness. I feel great. The only downside is after about 4 hours my symptoms come back. So I take another and am once again feeling better! I'd recommend it to anyone suffering severe anxiety."


"I went on this bc my period was so irregular and it was getting out of control. When I first went on this bc I threw up for the first 3 days and then after that I was fine. 2 weeks after I began my mood swings increased a lot, it was really unpredictable what my mood will be like. I've also been throwing up ever since I went on this

bc. My appetite has decreased, I've gained weight, I always feel bloated, my mood is terrible and everything makes my stomach feel sick. I hate throwing up so this pill has been the worse to me. Definitely a waste of my time."


"Severe pain in joints.  had to reduce med"


"It's been about 6 weeks on Latuda. During this time I experienced joint pain, severe anxiety and panic attacks. I have asked for advice from pharmacists, doctors and other sources. I have Ativan to help with the akathesia. Lamictal started helps with the panic and anxiety but helps the Latuda built up a wall between my brain and body.   And Latuda - I can only sleep a couple hours each night.  No drowsiness here. What I really want is to be titrated down to 20 mg and see if the side effects are negated. Otherwise looking towards seroquel...help!"


"Sorta got stupid one night with my girlfriend, got the pill about 26 hours later. The pill made her 9 weeks late, I'd never had so much stress. Finally she took two tests and got both negative and got her period a couple weeks later, it may mess up your period and stress you out but it works don't worry"


"I tried many drug combinations prior to using Humira, and nothing worked.  After my second dose of Humira I noticed the inflammation subside and was virtually pain-free for the first time in years.  Very little side effect most of the time, but did have much more occurrence of pharyngitis on this medicine."


"Dosage was 500 mg for 10 days. Stopped after 2. Feet and ankle pain and swollen knees, hands and fingers that do not stop aching. Also lower back pain. Headache is almost constant despite Tylenol every four hours. Cough has lessened but feel overall much weaker."


"I absolutely hate it!! Made me gain so much weight and I'm on day 34 of my period. Getting it out soon thank goodness. I do NOT reccomend it."


"I started Contrave at the end of November  at 234 lbs (5'4" F), this morning I was at 206 lbs. so 28 lbs in 6 months. It is slow, but very consistent. Every month I'm down 4-5 lbs. I have always eaten healthy about 70% of the time and that hasn't changed I just eat significantly less now. I exercise about the same amount as before so I didn't up that much. I have hypo thyroid, was gaining weight even w/ fairly healthy eating and exercise so while contrave is slow, seeing the scale go down 4-5 lbs a month as opposed to the 2-3 it was going up a month is awesome. I feel way better and I like the weigh in texts in the am. Wine tastes gross now so I drink way less. I was a zombie the first month and had anxiety but it was worth it"


"I've been taken this for 5 years now and all of a sudden it felt like i was going in to anaphylactic shock but 10 × Worse I ended up at the ER because my EpiPen would not work it turns out it was from the lisinopril they said that I could be taking this for 30 years or just take it once and this could happen I tell you what I'm never taking it again"


"I'm going on 8 months now. The birth control is great, the only issue I had was my period. I feel like I've had my period all those months and they last about 2 weeks. I'll get a little break (1 week) and I'll get it again. I did get really bad cramps one month but other than that I haven't had any side effects. I feel like a lot of woman blame birth control for gain weight. But it's all about will power you can't let one thing control your life. People just need to get off their butts and workout. That's how you won't gain weight."


"Its been a week and took my second injection. My hungry is practically nothing and i need to remind myself to eat. Now my morning reading is 172 from 207 and after two hours its 135-145 range. I have lost 7lbs in one week! No side

effects except some diarrhea. Im feeling better day by day. Switched my diet to less

carbohydrates so i do not have a rollercoaster of numbers. Feeling less tired also. Will post more in a week."


"I have been on Rythmol SR for about 6 weeks now. I was originally diagnosed with Atrial Flutter, but after the ablation procedure for this, it was then determined that I had Atrial Fibrillation and was put on Rythmol SR.  This drug does not "solve" or "cure" the problem - all it does is subside it temporarily.  As a result, I am scheduled for an Atrial fibrillation Ablation procedure this month.  I have also had numerous side effects (dizziness, and bad taste in mouth). "


"I have been taking this medication for almost a year. I have tried every depression medication on the planet. Seriously, I have tried ALL of them. I suffer from crippling anxiety so I needed something that would help my depression and my anxiety. This medication has worked quite well for both. I have noticed a few things since I started taking these. My sex drive is completely gone. I have constipation issues and quite a dry mouth. Losing my sex drive has been completely terrible, I can't deal with crippling anxiety any longer, so it was worth it.
This medication is pretty pricey, about $45 a month with insurance. Before I was taking this, I paid about $4 for 3 months. My doctor gave me a coupon/card, so when I use that it only costs me $4"


"On my 8th day of using spironolactone 50 mg twice a day and every day my skin looks better. After numerous visits to the dermatologist, prescribing me different antibiotics and topicals I went to my real doctor and she told me it's got to be hormonal. I haven't had any cystic acne since I started this and I would at least get one or two a week. The doc also put me on Clindamycin Phosphate which I think is helping clear me up. ONLY 8 days in too! Hope I'm not speaking too soon. "


"This my second attempt.....I was unable to take 3 pills ....terribly Sick  feeling....stopped and symptoms went away.
At the suggestion of my Dr I began again and started with one pill daily for a week and then added one more second wk.....after starting this second time I began having terrible pain in my legs ....and joints.   An unusual side effect...but certainly present. I once again stopped and within 24hrs my aching legs felt better. Today even more improved.   I really want this to work for me....however am unsure if I should begin again.   The aching legs and joints made it impossible to sleep and move the way I am used to.   My hope for weight loss is about 30-40 lbs....
If there is anyone with same issue pls write"


"Took Viibryd for MDD. Had bad symptoms if I was a little late taking the med each day. Was actually without it for a day and a half, because I was homeas I was sick and couldn't get to the pharmacy, and thought I was going to lose my mind. My whole body itched, I was flushed, nauseated, couldn't concentrate, my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I was sicker from not taking the medication, then from the flu I was home sick with!! I called my psychiatrist and told him I wanted off the medication. Explained what happened, and we tapered me down. It took about 3 weeks, and it wasn't fun, but I would NOT recommend this mediation for that reason alone."


"Love it! Nothing better, works wonders for chronic migraines and arthritis plus it gets me back on my feet as if I was a teen again. Gives me the little boost needed to get me through my day with limited side effects. I would recommend doctors prescribe this medicine over any other narcotic pain killers. This pill has really saved my life. It's truly amazing."


"The first month I took this was perfect. Better focus, better moods, more productive and was able to process info better. Then I got my refill and things got bad. Those particular ones messed with my breathing, made my mind race, so focusing was even harder than before I ever took meds for focus, horrible anxiety and paranoia. I know these two prescriptions were technically supposed to be the same, but they certainly were not the same! This stuff felt like either completely different medicine or it was made from some dirty dirt cheap ingredients. They were both Actavis, but something just wasn't right with that refill. I didn't even go a full week taking those. I felt heartbroken because the first one worked so well."


"I have had sweaty armpits for years! Tried the napkin trick, black tops, not lifting my arms, avoiding people, various deodorants and not shaving. Wasn't living freely! This stuff works! Doctor prescribed it. I would pay 100.00 per bottle if that's what it took to get it. Don't get excited when you put it on, thinking the more you put on the less you will sweat. This will cause severe itching. A little bit goes a long way. The next morning- no sweat. This product has given me my social life back. Love it."


"Used this for an ear infection ...worked great."


"When I first started, I had two periods in one month. I'm hoping this isn't going to keep happening."


"So the Monistat 1 extra strength egg capsule was an interesting roller coaster. 1st WEAR A PANTYLINER. Even though it’s a no mess application- at the end of the day you will have discharged a white goopy mess, so save the panties! Also there is definitely burning. Not immediate - definitely after about two hours. The first time I tried this product it was unbearable. I wanted to cry and have it all come out. However this second time the yeast infection wasn’t that bad and neither were my symptoms. I’d recommend trying this product but maybe taking some Tylenol or ibuprofen first. Good luck!"


"I read all the reports and was really scared to take the medicine. I used a hair clip on my nose even to open the bottle. I diluted it with water that was naturally flavored with citrus. I still do not have any idea what it smells or tasted like. It was a lot of fluid but it started working ibefore I finished the first glass of the same sparkling water after the first dose. I had no nausea or anything but a little bloating. I did get slightly cold especially my extremities. It's not fun not eating and getting up at 2am for the second dose but not that bad considering what cancer does and how radiation, chemo for a year and surgery makes one feel. I know because my husband had colon cancer before he was fifty."


"I have Nexplanon for about 4 months now. The insertion was not painful but it did gave a brusing that lasted almost 3 weeks. I had my first period that lasted a week as well and then came back after a week it was gone but it was a minimal spotting, it lasted for another week. After that I havent had my period ever since. Also it give me break outs which i dont like but i can live with it. It is not so bad. So if you ask me so far so good with the nexplanon."


"This worked really well to regulate my periods for about a year and a half but recently it has seemed to stop working. My periods are back to being as irregular as they were before I took the pill. It also made the nausea I get during my periods much worse. I am currently only taking it for clearing my acne (be warned my acne came back only a week after being off of it and was much worse than before) and till my prescription ends."


"I am 28 years old and have no children. I got the Mirena inserted 2 months ago (very painful) and have been bleeding non-stop since. Some days are fairly light while others are heavier. I have yet to go a day without wearing a liner or tampon. It is extremely frustrating and has disrupted my sex life. Luckily, I am in a committed relationship of just over 2 years with an understanding man. However, I am seriously considering getting Mirena removed. My most recent vacation to Hawaii was pretty uncomfortable and I have another vacation in another tropical area coming up next month. Having to constantly worry with this is stressful. "


"This medicine has worked great for me so far.  I have been on it for 2 weeks.  I missed one dose and had an atrocious headache but it went away as soon as I took the missed dose.  I am taking 100 mg - 50 in the morning and 50 at night.  I do not nor have I ever slept well so I do not see or feel any difference.  I am so much calmer and I am able to find a bit of joy in the things that would really irritate me before.  My nightmares are not as bad but still happening. I have lost 2 pounds per week which is not an issue with my being 60 pounds overweight.  I also take Abilify.  One of the two causes me to be extremely "jumpy"  I am startled easily."


"My experience? I've been on many meds since age 16. Then at age 48, they gave me Effexor. It was the end of the life I knew. I constantly hallucinated. I yelled at my husband almost daily and when I could no longer feel the loving bond between my son and I and just wanted to scream at him until he cried, I stopped it cold-turkey and I was on ONLY 37.5 mg! I will NEVER take this medication again and for me, it brought out my mother in me and that's when I knew there was a HUGE PROBLEM with this medication in my body because to act like the very person who abused me showed me that I needed to get off of it or turn my son into me - broken and afraid."


"I started getting clusters of pimples on my cheeks and forehead when I moved country from England to Nepal..and I suppose it was of the drastic change in humidity, climate and pollution too. I was recommend with this topical gel with a hydrating aloe vera moisturiser by my dermatologist. At first my skin got very sensitive and flaky..which was disgusting. I started noticing skin discoloration too. But I continued with its usage and my skin cleared up after around 2 months of continuous use!!
 I've used it for almost two years now and I only occasionally get pimples!! Its great!
Though my face is a shade lighter but isn't noticeable much...a small price to pay."


"The good aspects of this pill for me were no weight gain, no loss of sex drive, and my breasts got a bit bigger.

However, I could not continue into my 4th month on Zovia because I had such intense mood swings that I drove everyone around me crazy. I had to switch to a different pill because I was on a constant emotional roller coaster. Crying, being angry, feeling depressed, hopeless and paranoid that my boyfriend was cheating on me. I felt like I was losing my mind, and my boyfriend and I almost broke up over it. I became a completely different person, and it only became worse as I was on the pill for longer. Hoping another pill will work better!"


"I was taking Sprintec before Aviane and i must say I'm glad I made the switch. Sprintec made me nauseous whenever I took it and I couldn't take it without eating. With Aviane, I don't feel any sickness at all and I don't need to take it with food which makes it more convenient."


"It worked beautifully, except severe memory problems developed. Have reduced by half to 20mg.  Memory is back but I'm getting up at least 4 times per night.

Before asking to change meds will try ending beverages after 7-8 pm."


"I suffer from extreme anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. I was prescribed Seroquel 25 mg (one in the morning and two at bedtime). This medication has done wonders for me in a very short period of time (one week). In low doses, Seroquel is effectively taking the edge off life and I'm a much happier person. It's like a miracle drug for me and I can't imagine going back to life without it."


"Nothing helped but this for my nerve pain. Only reason I stopped it was because it can make you lightheaded."


"I got the skyla about 3 months ago and the one period I've had since then has been super light . I am sexually active so it's worked so far as to prevent pregnancy , but the one thing I hate is the cramps. Every month so far I've gotten these sharp and really painful cramps , yet I still don't bleed. I'm hoping they will fade away within the next few months, but other than that I love it."


"Took 2 pills, My constipation was gone but could  not sleep one minute during the night because of the pain."


"Had tried Advair and one other inhaler and didn't do anything. Was using albuterol when needed (2-3 times a day). Doctor put me on Symbicort and had immediate relief. Only take 2 puffs in the morning and set for the day. No side effects yet (6 weeks now). Hopefully it will continue to work on my COPD.  Also, I'm a smoker (of course trying to quit) and even with smoking, Symbicort has worked great."


"After 3 days infection is not getting better."


"So far so good. Been taking about a week now & no noticeable side effects. Had to quit Adderall due to symptoms in re my heart. I have High Blood Pressure & ended up in ER for a myriad of strange & scary heart-related issues. PCP wanted me off Adderall since it's a stimulant & suggested Strattera as it is a SNRI. I take a SSRI for depression without incident so with this new one I guess time will tell."


"I have had the worst experience with this pill! Took just one pill of it, and my head started blasting like crazy! Bad bad headache, almost felt I was about to pass out, just wanted to go to emergency room! I couldn't do the 2 per day! It's expensive and bad side effects. Not worth it! Would probably get phentermine!"


"I liked using the medicine as a prophylactic. I used it for a very long period of time. Four years or more with very few lapses at all. I just had to remember to take a daily pill and that was it. I took it for three trips in two years in a foreign country and three months before and after the trips. I took a six month, 11 month, and 9 month trip with only a six month and four month separation. I also took it during the lapses between trips since you should take it 90 days before the trip. I had no side effects during that period except that I did not get a cold very often. By the way, it was all at a high altitude since this was in Afghanistan."


"Been on Paxil for about 1 month starting my second it's been helping me a lot with my panic disorders & social experiences. My mg for Paxil is low 10mg. However, whoever is starting this medication don't get discourage it will take time for Paxil to kick in but it will be worth it at the end just set a daily reminder everyday to take it."


"First and for most, before I went on the Nuvaring I was a complete skeptic. I did almost 2 months of research and read almost every review on Drugs.com. My current boyfriend (who is a Pharmacists) suggested and educated me on this BC. I have not been on BC for almost 3 years prior to starting Nuvaring. I've tired everything, from Depo, every pill formed BC and nothing has worked for me. Nuvaring is by far the only thing that's worked, from the first 3 months when your body starts adjusting everything was fine! No weight gain (loss 10lb), no depression, increase sex drive. There is definitely more Pros than Cons. Highly suggested!! Good for those who have a hard time remembering to take daily pills."


"I just had to write and tell you that I feel like I should be a commercial for Adderal XR.  I am like every other typical mom.  I work part-time, go to school part-time, lead a Brownie Troop, take care of 2 children, a husband and a dog. All while keeping up with the normal household events.  Adderal XR has reformed my life and I am amazed by the difference it has made for me.  I am now able to keep a level head and prioritize.  I don't know how I lived without it.  Thank you Adderal XR."


"I was a bit hesitant with getting Implanon because of all the negative reviews I've read. My main fear was weight gain. But after a few weeks I have had NO SIDE EFFECTS. NONE! I haven't bled or spotted but it isn't the time of the month yet. No increase in appetite or cravings and hence no unexplainable weight gain.

The insertion process was a bit painful, but nothing unbearable but depends on your pain tolerance of course. The area is sore for a few days and bruising lasted about 2 weeks for me. All in all it is a great contraceptive method especially if you forget or can't bear taking the pill everyday! I must emphasize, please don't be frightened by all the negative reviews. Every female is different!"


"Personally, I hated it.
During my time on ADHD medication I was almost always in trouble at school, failing classes, suffered from mood swings, from the first grade to the end of the ninth grade and also looked anorexic during that time. Once I got off the medication, I could finally feel like a human being and was happy, but I gained a surprising amount of weight that (5'9" and 110lbs to 5'9" and 162lbs) I have spent the next three almost four years trying to replace the fat with muscle. Getting off the medication was the best thing to happen to me as I could actually pass my classes and graduate high school."


"Lost 20 pounds on 2nd month now going to 7.5 mg on 3rd month"


"Got this prescribed after a week of constant back pain (twisted my back). 10mg 3X daily. Took one when I got home from the pharmacy (about 12p) and proceeded to be out for about 16 hours. 5 days later I am still having sleeping issues, both getting to sleep and waking up at a reasonable time. When I took the one pill, the back pain was gone, but I can't afford to be sleeping excessively. I'll keep it on hand for when pains are keeping me awake and I can afford to get 16+ hours of sleep, but not recommended if you have to function on a daily routine."


"I have been taking abilify for OCD and Body Dysmophic Disorder for about 2 months and it has helped but I do have a few small side effects like insomnia and a feeling of restlessness but I feel the help outweighs my side effects."


"It made me feel sick all the time. Sometimes it would give me the shakes. It seems to work for many but, not for me. Try it and see!"


"Like the medicine but noted increased edema swelling in feet and legs and tiredness."


"I was on it for a little less than a year, and during that time, I didn't have a period for a total of two weeks. I was on my period for almost nine months straight! Not to mention constant acne, mood swings, and I gained almost 20lbs! I didn't get pregnant because I didn't have sex the entire time I was on it; why would anyone feel in the mood when they're bleeding, pimply, fat, and moody all the time?! I know a few girls who got pregnant on the implant, as well, and had to have it removed early due to pregnancy."


"I took Fortical 3 times and had burning and pain upon urination. It took several days to clear up."


"This birth control has gotten bad reviews and it scared me when my doctor perscribed me to it. I've been taking it for a month. I'm moody but I haven't spotted or gained weight. I'm pretty sure my sex drive has increased. I haven't really gotten any side effects. I hope it stays that way."


"When I was on Celexa years ago it worked wonderfully for me, night and day. I came off and tried natural treatments for a year and a half with no success so I went back on Celexa (again at 40 mg a day as I was on before.)
It definitely helps me a lot but it isn't as helpful as before when I took it. I've added abilify 2 months ago (5mg) but it still isn't quite enough. I feel like my functionality is at about 60-70% now (compared to ~10% without Celexa) --My GP has referred me to a psychiatrist and I hope I can find something or a combo of things to help me get to 100% again soon. I don't have any bad side effects from Celexa and it helps me with anxiety within 24 hours and depression within 2 weeks of starting."


"Amrix is so effective."


"I was diagnosed with General Anxiety, Social Anxiety and panic attacks about 17 years ago. I was prescribed many different medicines, but what has worked BEST with my panic attacks and over all anxiety is Klonopin. I was prescribed 0.5 mg 3 times daily, it has been a God send. I do not go above my prescribed dosage and can take any time of day and stay right on track at work etc. I have been on this dosage for 7 years and it's made a huge difference in my quality of life. I will say that I ran out over a holiday weekend and couldn't get any more until the following Tuesday. 3 days without caused severe withdrawal symptoms, unable to sleep, watery mouth, dry heaves and clammy skin, it was awful. So don't miss dosage(s) & you'll be fine."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I was given neulester after my chemo treatments as well. I was expecting the worst, because that is what you hear from others. I received 16 treatment of chemo and 16 of neulester and I can truly say that I was blessed with everything. I do recall having a little pain in my legs one day,but it last for appr. Two hours on and off. My count remain where it needed to be,never went down."


"This also works for shingles, which can start out as just a little pimple or 2 but you will know by the tingle and then the undeniable relation to how chickenpox feels. Make sure you get it quickly and use at least 10 days or whatever your doctor tells you."


"I  was diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome 3 months ago. I  also have rheumatoid Arthritis and Hashimotos. My rheumatologist prescribed Plaquenil in hopes to control all 3 conditions. I would say that Plaquenil has basically given me my life back. I suffer from debilitating joint pain, fatigue, brain fog and extreme anxiety. I had to quit working because as a high school teacher, brain fog and anxiety, are probably 2 of the worst things you should be dealing with when dealing with teenagers.  I  would give Plaquenil a 10, but I haven't been on it long enough to see the full effects. I continue to have more energy every day, I'm back to walking, as exercise, again and my joint pain is very well controlled."


"I definitely noticed a difference since I stopped taking klonopin about two weeks ago now. I wanted to see if I could deal with life without being medicated. On the plus side it also took my migraines away and didn't make me edgy like other medicines I've been on. I took it with Wellbutrin. It took care of my depression and anxiety perfectly."


"I had Mirena inserted July 16, 15. I had very heavy bleeding for about 7 days after insertion. Insertion was not painful for me. Had heavy cramping the day of only. I have had some sort of bleeding ranging from a couple spots a day to very heavy for 2 months after. After my period last month I finally quit spotting all together then yesterday came along and I have a super heavy flow period out of the blue. Trying to make it to the 6 month mark but it is definitely annoying."


"I've only been on this medicine for one week but the side effects are awful. I can't see straight, I stumbled when I walk, I have horrible tremors and no appetite. I'm only on 300 mg twice a day but I feel so oriented. When will I feel the positive effects?"


"I can't birthcontrol pills they give me crazy mood swings so I got the iud on 10-13-16. And I had minor pain with insertion but all was fine. I did experience cramping like they said for the first 24-48 hours it was painful because I never get cramps just migraines during periods if not the week before it's the week of. I was not on my period at the time of insertion my period was 6 days away. Here's the down side my period last about 4 days and I am still bleeding now for 15 days and counting it was heavy during my period but now it's light bleeding and the off and on cramping is frustrating. I'm losing weight but my breast got bigger, I already have big boobs"


"My doctor switched me from Loestrin Fe to Microgestin Fe to help my endometriosis. I could not figure out why I have been so miserable (tender breasts, extreme cramping and bloating, weight gain, and depression) but after reading some of these reviews I can relate. The best oral contraceptive that I have tried is Loestrin 24 but my insurance doesn't cover it! The only positive thing from this experience: I've given up on it and my husband and I are trying for a baby!"


"I took the pill@morning, low to standard pressure during day--high @ night. Sometimes chest pains, didn't sleep well due to anxiety--tire during the day."


"I have been on and off this drug for about 15 years now.  It is the only drug I have found that will slow my racing thoughts, and general anxiety disorder.  I was on Prozac when I was first diagnosed and that was a nightmare, I had no short term memory what so ever.  I have also tried Cymbalta and a few others none of them helping like the Effexor does.  I have taken myself off this medicine many times thinking I was better and didn't need it anymore just to come to the conclusion it was indeed the medicine making me feel normal.  I remember having side effects when I first started this medicine but they do subside."


"I have my headaches mostly under control with Vivactil. But I do occasionally feel one coming on and for that I am now taking naproxen. Used to take Vicodin. No more. I went from almost daily killer headaches to an occasional now and so far, one naproxen has worked."


"I was warned about spotting before getting this. But I thought spotting meant a little bleeding here and there. After 3 months my periods are heavier than they were before and now I haven't stopped bleeding for over 3 weeks! I have breakouts more than normal and slight weight gain. I would deal with those side effects though but the bleeding is out of control! I'm calling my doctor in the morning to get this thing out!"


"On 10mg/day for a week and favorably impressed.  Has BP between 115/72 and 135/85 for most of the time.  A bit lightheaded - more so for an hour or two after taking it.  No other side effects.  Feel good and thankful BP is down.  Would like to try 5mg at 8am and 5mg at 8pm.  Will discuss this with my doctor. But so far, absolutely no complaints - just a positive experience."


"I used to be a serious Roxy user but when my drug dealer ran out he gave me Suboxone instead.I didn't know it at the time but once I took that Suboxone it meant that I couldn't take another Roxy for at least three days after ingesting the Suboxone.Long story short,I ended up going to a doctor and he prescribed me Suboxone.They made feel good like a Roxy but without the hangover the next day after taking Roxy.I'm also going to support groups for drug addicts that are held at my doctors office once a month.I've been on Suboxone 8/2mg for eight years now and although it helps I really want to get off of them.It's so dang hard to get off of Suboxone though.Story of my life..."


"I have had psoriasis for 12 years. It affected my daily life. I have tried so many creams, ointments. Nothing worked. So last November, doctor prescribed me  Otezla, it hurt my back badly. I have to stop this. So methotrexate was given to me 5x2.5mg per week in January, 1mg folic acid per day except the day taking methotrexate.
Once a month blood work was giving. I was on 7x2.5 mg last month, Now I am on 9x2.5mg, I can feel it is almost clear, and I do feel joint pain and weak immune system.
I have such bad flu right now and could go to office Tomorrow."


"My fiance and I broke up, which made me depressed. 3 weeks later, my mother passed away. I couldn't stop crying. A hospital was testing anti-depressants on me. We decided that Zoloft worked best on me. It made it easier to cope & I finally stopped crying. Eventually I was able to get back to my normal life. I took it for about 2 months.If it makes you tired, take it before bed, which I did. I believe it saved my life."


"Horrible experience.  I've been spotting consistently since the end of June 2013.  My doctor is putting me back on Tri-Sprintec."


"This medication lowered my blood pressure, restoring it to acceptable levels. The medication is well tolerated with the most noticeable side effects being lethargy and rapid nail growth. Nail growth became very noticeable after being on the medication for 1 week to 10 days; now I'm on the med for a couple of months and cutting my nails every day."


"I Started to take this pill on my first day which fell on a sunday. It was my first time in years using birth control again & NEVER EVER AGAIN !! I only took the pills THREE days before I started noticing side effects. First off I was alwayss tored no matter how much I sleep I still wake up tired , all through the day TIRED !! & Then I always had a attitude everyday. But really it made me so emotional WEDNESDAY I burst out in tears & I don't even know why !! I wouldn't dare take another one of these !!"


"This stuff is amazing!  When I hit 30 I started breaking out horribly.  I'm talking at least 3 a day including the deep cystic ones.  My dermatologist started me on this and I noticed a difference in a couple of days.  Two weeks later I was 85% clear.  I've been on this now for 5 weeks and am now at 95%.  I do get an occasional here and there, but it's nothing like I was dealing with this before. You can buy over the counter things that you want, but this will get your face clean and it's stayed clear for me.  Knock on Wood!"


"I have been taking them for a little over two months and I have lost 30 pounds. It works great for me. I have also been on a simple diet and overall I rate it great. I got my mom and aunt to go and get their prescription and they have lost weight too. I'm so happy with phendimetrazine."


"I bought this in a Walgreen thinking that I will have relief, but instead my virgina started to burn and itch really bad.It was burning and itching without any control about 3 hours.I had to wake up because of disconfort. Then burning and itching sensation started to go mild .Iam hoping its worth it and the burning and itching goes away.But I am definitely not buying it again.The burning and itching got really worst after I apply this medication. I hope it works ."


"This was for my MDD,BPD, and OCD, I hated this. Sick all the time. If I didn't eat, meds made me sick. If I did, they'd screw with my stomach. Everything was worse. Black and white is an understatement. I was significantly worse on these meds than without. Withdrawals were terrible. The only good thing was that insurance covered a lot of it."


"Best medicine ever"


"Besides getting dizzy haven't noticed any effect."


"I have been on this for about 2 weeks.  The first 3 days were great.  I had energy and very little appetite.  I have lost a total of 5 lbs.  I am on a 1200 calorie diet.  Lots of water and veggies and fruit.  I walk 1-2 miles a day.  I have lost inches just wish it would go quicker. Ha ha.  I was 308 and now 303.  I want to be at 170.  Guess it will take another year in a half or so."


"I have been on Lutera for about 5 months.  Lutera has helped with cramping but has made my appetite increase significantly.  Due to this I have gained about 5-7 pounds.  Also, I can cry at just about anything.  I have never been this emotional before so I know it has to be because of the pill.  I am planning to get off of Lutera and switch to another pill."


"I had an awful time with Methotrexate side-effects but the disease went into remission and I stopped.  Two years later it was back and this time we tried Humira.  The psoriasis cleared up after about 8 weeks and the arthritis inflammation disappeared.  It's been about a year today with no side effects other than fatigue at the end of the work day.  I'm 61 and feel I can work another 5 years.  Without Humira I don't think I could.  Great drug, but too damned expensive.  Bring on the generics."


"I am 17 years old. Since I was 10 years old I have had mild acne. I used to cry to my mom before school at least two times a week because of my acne. I would stay home on weekends instead of going out with my friends because I was ashamed of my skin. I tried every pill and cream out there. Literally. Right now I am on my last month of accutane. It is still clearing up a bit but it is almost all the way clear. My skin was very dry in the beginning but then I started taking vitamin E and I got a dehumidifier for next to my bed which both helped a lot. My lips also got very chapped and dry but I put aquaphor on to help it. My mouth was more dry than usual but nothing severe. It changed my life and I'm so happy that I started taking it."


"I've been on Amlodipine for almost 8 days now. I've had nausea off and on and this is my 2nd night of insomnia (luckily, not in a row), but it really sucks. My BP is down and I feel great other than the insomnia. I'm on 5 mg. wondering if the 2.5 mg would work? Anyone know if lessing the dosage would work?"


"My rosacea is only noticeable/active during the winter and after hot showers. I was mostly being vain when asking for this, and truly learned my lesson. I used Mirvaso twice (pea- sized amounts) and while it made getting ready in the morning easier for those two days because it worked almost instantly, on the third day my face was a PLUM. I had dark purple-ish welts/bumps all over my cheeks. Later, my entire face was red, swollen, burning, itching for 2 WEEKS. Absolutely nothing worked to make the burning redness stop (benadryl, soothing creams, naturual remedies). I never in my life experienced anything this terrible. It's been a while but I feel like I still have an uneven complexion in comparison to before."


"Got my doc to pre authorize my Belviq three months ago. Start 6" 276 pounds age 39. Getting rid of the gut after three months 26.32 pounds down. Feel good, great energy, good sleep eating healthy and playing basketball twice a week at the YMCA. My doc likes my progress and will add phentermine next month to keep me rolling on the weight loss. I told him I will only try for six weeks and see how I feel on the add on. Good luck to all who really want to change their lives starting today."


"I have been taking Chateal for about 3 weeks; after a year long break from birthcontrol. So far the only negative side effects are tender/sore breasts. I have taken 3 different types of pills in the past, nuva ring, and depo shot, so far Chateal is pretty good. I have noticed bloating but it seems to be water weight and has reduced significantly on its own within the past couple of days. My mood and emotions, I find this pill to actually be somewhat of a mood booster! I am the happiest I have been in a long time and my emotions are pretty stable. Acne: I have always had acne (I'm 23) and birthcontrol has always helped. Nuva Ring was the best for acne but after being off birth control for a year my acne went haywire. Chateal has helped."


"Before starting Paxil, I was extremely depressed. I did not want to talk to people or have to leave the house for any reason. (Albeit I'm 22). When I would have to go somewhere such as school or the doctor's office I would dread having to leave and I'd be having an internal melt down the entire duration of getting dressed. It didn't matter what I wrote or how much make up I had on, I felt like I was so ugly that people would just stop and stare at me (which I am not ugly and they would not stop and stare). Sometimes I'd be so intimidated from just having to walk through a door into a room and have someone look up that I'd just turn around and go back home. This medicine took all that away and changed my life."


"Previously, I had an iud (mirena). After 3 years all the sudden that caused me to start having terrible headaches and a lump in my breast which went away. I waited 3 months to get my body back to normal before starting Sprintec. It works well at prevention, no more headaches,  my boobs have been sore and have grown almost a full cup size in just 2 months. It has increased my appetite. I'm very skinny always been about 100 lbs. I have gained 4 lbs in 2 months. This never happens. I do not fluctuate in weight. I haven't decided if I like it yet. I'm happy with my weight, but I'm a little worried if the increased appetite keeps up if it will taper off soon or continue.?"


"Took one 150 mg for a week. Supposed to move up to twice a day but afraid.  I have shaky, like nerves going through my body every day but not all the time.  Can't finish a thought and am sleeping horrible.  Dr says stick to one a day and see if symptoms go away.  Interesting to me that's sme people get 75 mg twice a day and some get one 150.  I suffer from moderate depression and panic."


"I have been on fluoxetine 20mg for six months.  It took about 8 weeks to notice any positive mood changes.  After a few weeks of starting it I began to feel like I was living in a fog and had a difficult time concentrating but that eventually went away and turned into optimism and feeling great.   Please give it a couple of months to work.  It takes time to kick in.  After 8 weeks I felt good and happy for a while but recently have relapsed into anxiety and depression again.  My MD has now upped my dosage to 40mg.  I am hopeful I will get the happiness and optimism back again soon from the higher dose."
