"Had the .5 percent solution. Didn't experience burning and the application was easy enough. It's easy to get it on healthy skin so that sucks. I found that the areas that were healthy got red and dry but not terribly raw.

I was unsure it was even working but in day 4 of rest days I noticed that the wart had fallen off in the shower and it was basically 80% healed. Do not despair if you don't experience the burning or pitting and erosion. 25-30% of patients don't.

There's more than enough for a few more rounds of treatment but fingers crossed I won't need it."


"Gained 60 pounds in less than 3 months, periods went from 28 day-4.5 day clockwork-regular to 2X a month, 9 day long  murder-scene heavy.  PMS used to be mild to nonexistent, went to migraines from hell, debilitating cramps, etc.  Dr. told me to stick with it.  I did for a year.  Off the ring, took a year and lots of work to get my periods back to something approximating normal and the weight will NOT budge.  I did not have weight issues before, never had.  Now I also have endometrial hyperplasia and have been told the weight is sticking no matter what I do to lose it due to an overabundance of estrogen.  If you use the Ring and start gaining or going period-wonky AT ALL, stop, please, immediately and do not be like me."


"This is the HANDS down best BC out there for me. I have 1 side effect which is lack of appetite in week 1. Nothing else!
Before I took this pill I was bleeding vaginally mysteriously for weeks at a time. This birth control saved me from insanity. It stopped the random bleeding and the awful pain( Endometriosis?) Pain is now a 4/10, not a 10/10. I was thinking of switching the Trinessa 28 day to the one where it's just one mg.
I feel good. I gained some weight (I needed it) and my skin is starting to clear up! I feel this also stopped my hair from falling out as often as well.
The only con is that the first week of the pill causes lack of appetite for me. I wonder if anyone else experiences this? I feel great by week 2 & 3."


"This medication worked great, but insurance doesn't cover, can't afford anymore.  Too bad now have to take something else."


"I was completely new to birth control and did not want to be on a pill due to all the stories I've heard. The patch is amazing! Only have to worry about it once a week, haven't had any side effects not even bleeding or spotting, get to have my regular period, and is basically so convenient. It is on the more expensive side especially if insurance won't cover it but for me it was worth it. I don't have to wait for my period to start when I do plan on getting pregnant and is easy to wear. I prefer to wear mine on my shoulder blade because it doesn't rub against my clothes and people don't notice it which is nice. This is a great birth control and whoever invented it is a genius. Highly recommend especially if you're new to birth control."


"I would like to add to everyones into, the first day of taking your low dose maybe try take your first day on a non work day! Both days I went back on it I threw up on day one and felt nauseous. Everyone is different but that was me! My starting dose for week one was 10mg then brought up to 15. Do not let this put you off as after day one, this goes away and it's all back to normal :)"


"I got on it for my cysts which cause horrible pain and heavy periods. Since taking it the pain hasn't been too bad, and the periods shorter and lighter. My only problem with it is that it made me gain weight to which I have tried everything to lose, but am unsuccessful."


"I'm 20 years old and this is the first birth control I've ever been on. I'm in my 3rd pack and so far I haven't had any serious side effects. When I first started my appetite was out of whack and couldn't really eat and I was really moody. But halfway through the first pack that subsided and I was fine. I never had a real problem with having a heavy/irregular period but when first going on this I got my period twice a month for the first 2 months but they are very light, short, and manageable. Not sure if I gained any weight because I don't weigh myself often and I don't think I've seen a real change in my body. I just changed my diet and exercise regiment (as in I'm actually exercising and eating better) so hopefully I'll see results!"


"I am 48 & had 2 kids.   I was having problem with hormonal bc making me depressed, angry, breaking out and high blood pressure.  Time to get off tne hormones.  So I had paragard inserted Friday.  It's Sunday now.  So far so good.  Insertion wasn't a picnic but wasn't so bad either.  I didn't take anything ahead of the appointment.  I had some mild cramps and one sharp cramp that made me catch my breath but it was over in minutes.  I was able to go back to work after the insertion.  I had cramping off and on the rest of the day but nothing terrible.   Mild cramps the next day too.  None so far today.   A little bit of spotting the first day but nothing since.  Overall, feeling much better with no hormones."


"I started this in June 2015. My purpose is to help with perimenopause symptoms. 5 weeks were good no bleeding. Now I am bleeding for the next 5 weeks daily...with clots sometimes. Was trying for the hormone to alleviate cycle anxiety attacks. Still get those too like clockwork. Going to try an iud next. "


"I hate this pill. I've been on different pills before and I have never felt like this. I'm throwing up all the time. My appetite has increased heavily. My acne has never ever been this bad. I'm tired all the time and I just feel like shit since taking it. I've been on it for three month now and every new pack is just a horror story. I get a very very light period which really pisses me off. I get it for one day. I hate that I'm the type of person who freaks out if that happens. It makes me so uncomfortable and nervous to basically not get a period. My OB won't change the pill and I'm so fed up with it. I have no motivation at all. I never felt this was before taking this pill. I hate it."


"I have been taking Remicade infusions since September 2005 and I can't say anything negative about it. I go in for the infusion hurting and aching and come out feeling so much better. Worth the 12 sticks it sometimes takes to get me started infusing."


"Was using generic clopidogrel and after having nose bleeds etc. Am now back on Plavix and have had no problems since.  Will continue to use Plavix.  I now receive the Plavix brand thanks to the card I received from the company."


"I have about 3months with the "device" and I have noticed anxiety, weight gain, lack of energy all I want to do is sleep and well bleeding/spotting every day. I didn't want an IUD bc I had a friend who got pregnant and I did not want to risk it. I didn't want to take the pill either bc I am really bad at keeping track. I like the fact that I can have intercourse with my husband and I do not have to worry about if I get pregnant but that's about it. I am still sexually active, no depression, no acne, just what I mentioned above tired 90% of the time, sleepy 80%, spotting every day95%, weight gain >_< sucks. But I think it all depends on the person's metabolism and their daily activity"


"I got the skyla one week ago. Insertion was uncomfortable but I think my nerves got the best of me and made it worst. Like many other people, I read all the horror stories of insertion being incredibly painful. I was shaking the entire time because I was so nervous and it was just a lot of pressure that was over really quicklg. Post insertion I have cramps no worse than period cramps and very light spotting which I expect to be over soon.

Don't let all the horror stories scare you. Everyone is different. The IUD is worth it, you are 20 less likely to have an unplanned pregnancy with it than you are with regular  birth control pills. Insertion is not fun but being pregnant is even less fun."


"Insertion of skyla was simple, though a little crampy, but the doctor has to clamp your cervix so of course that's not going to be comfortable. I only bled for that day and 1 day after and the cramps subsided after the first day. I've had skyla for about a month now and have had no problems with it. Surprisingly my last period happened right on schedule. I was on the pill for 5 years prior to Skyla and had never really had cramps due to that. Now that I'm not taking the pill my period cramps have been intense but I doubt it's due to the IUD. Other than the normal that-time-of-the-month cramps and bleeding, I've had neither spotting or random cramping. I would definitely recommend Skyla."


"I started taking this medicine about 4 months ago when I was dealing with a very hard breakup and suffering from panic attacks. My resistance to stress was at rock bottom when I started taking Lexapro and it stopped my panic attacks immediately. I realized I'd been dealing with anxiety my whole life and had just thought it was normal and a part of my basic personality. The side effects at first were difficulty sleeping and a lack of appetite.  The longer I've been on this medication the more "even" I have felt...able to handle stress but still be myself.  I'm so much more comfortable in social situations and all of my obsessive worrying is gone. Sleep and appetite are normal now. Still feel emotions but don't lose control."


"Cipro is the fastest effective medicine to take. I've probably have taken all types of medications for UTI and Cipro definitely shows improvement within 1 day."


"Started it yesterday. I think it helps but I just realized it is the reason I'm warm.  Feels just like a low-grade fever.  I also take something for ADD, which is a stimulant.  I think the combination of the two is what is causing the rise in body temp."


"I took Endep 25 for headaches. I felt drowsy even the next day. So I went to Endep 10. I need to to take it about 2 hours before sleep. Side effect -  ear noise which is going on for over 1 week now after 1 tablet. Going to stop it for a while due to side effect."


"This medication tends to work better for my pain. Cut tip of finger off in a lawnmower accident (cleaning the blades with garden hose and got too close obviously). They sewed my finger back on; but having lots of bone and joint (knuckle) pain. Norco did not help as well as Morphine has. I only take this medication when I can no longer tolerate severity of pain so that I can actually get some much needed rest. Morphine works well for my personal ordeal."


"This cream worked really good and started clearing my face in a week or two. But now, anytime I go outside and have ANY sun contact, my face burns, gets blotchy and looks swollen. I hate it, I have to stay inside all day if I apply it."


"I got a second opinion from an OB GYN, I am 32 weeks pregnant, and for most of the pregnancy, I have felt full, tight and bloated.  About 6 weeks ago, I called the midwife I have been seeing and told her how I have been feeling, but she told me that was just part of being pregnant.  Well, yes, but not to this extreme.  I feel so full and tight after I eat, that I didn't look forward to eating, I was forcing myself to eat for the baby.  I ended up in the hospital for being dehydrated and not eating enough.  So, I went for a second opinion and she put me on the Reglan.  It has helped tremendously!  I actually feel hungry now!  It has taken the edge off how full and tight I feel after I eat.  So far, I haven't experienced any of the side effects."


"Causes a little tiredness, but completely eliminates anxiety and provides an excellent night's sleep. 50mg at night."


"I suffer from anxiety/ panic attacks as well as live a somewhat stressful life style. Xanax has been my life saver and has been a tremendous aide in allowing me to continue  to function in life on a daily basis. Truly a blessing in my life 100%."


"Before I got this I had regular periods. I am 5'4 and weigh 100lb, I gained 15lbs on this,but I needed to gain weight anyways.It was very easy to put in. I wasn't on my period at that time so I didn't get my period for the next 3 weeks and I thought this was awesome. A week later I got my period and it was heavy most days and then light but it didn't go away for about 6 months which is usual. I was off my period for about 2 weeks and had spotting during that, but after the 2 weeks I got my period and I had it for I don't even know how long but months straight! I didn't want to get it out but I had no choice and got it out my doctor said this was because of stress and not sleeping but my gyno said this happens to many people"


"Honestly, I know it's hard for anyone with a mood disorder to take hormone-related birth control, but this was the worst experience I ever had. I have moderate anxiety disorder, and after a week of being on this pill, I had severe panic attacks. Worse than I've ever had them. I couldn't control myself and was shaking and extremely dizzy and it felt as if the world was going to end. I always get sick after anxiety attacks but that one was the worst. I couldn't eat for a day or two. I know different medications work differently for everyone, but that by far was the worst reaction I've gotten. Going to try non hormonal from now on."


"I had the Nexplanon put in April 2015 and I overall love it so far. It last for 3 years and it's much better than having to take a pill everyday! I was bad with pills and that's how I got pregnant with my son May 2014. This is such a convenience and there isn't anything I have to remember to do. However, I do experience a couple side effects. One is being that my periods are very irregular. Sometimes they're really light and will last 2-3 weeks or really heavy and last a few days to a week. There is really no telling and I have to be prepared for spotting as it can happen any time for me. I also noticed that I get slight headaches but they usually either go away or I take medicine for it. Overall, I really like this birth control!"


"My pain doctor just switched my pain meds around and I started Having bad  Stomach pains worse than labor with my four kids . so I set off to go get fleets because I have use them  before and  know they work they are just u comfortable putting them in but went to dollar general and the girl that works there told me about the magnesium citrate grape flavor .she said she used it after her hystrorectomy I took half bottle when I was almost back to house  after 25 minutes it worked a little I took the rest of bottle(dont do this wait for the stuff to finish working) well all I got to say no cramps and my stomach is empty .god bless this product and I will keep on my shelf for life."


"I had endoscopic sinus surgery and took 80 pills in the first two weeks.  The pharmacist made me feel like an addict, and made me so mad! Now my pain is reducing a lot, it has been three weeks since surgery and I use only one  pill to make it through my work day.  I have no side effects and do not want to get addicted, but it really helps A LOT with pain control and lets me function instead of cry and whine."


"I was reading a bunch of the reviews about Accutane and it is great to hear that it has been successful for these peoples cases. My acne was by no means a case to go to the extreme of taking this medicine. I agree that Accutane can effectively treat acne, but I due to my personal experience I would take extreme caution. After the first couple months of taking it others close to me noticed a pretty big difference in my mood. By the January 2009 the 5th month I was clinically diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety."


"16 year old daughter was having headaches and was doing infusions with medications. Used Zofran for nausea. Immediately after it was injected she had a severe allergic reaction, could not breathe, felt her throat tighten up, shortness of breath, dizziness, anxiety, shivering and sweating. Oxygen was given and this passed quickly within 5 minutes. Was observed in ER and there were no other effects after that episode."


"I've been on this med for over a month and the side effects do not out weigh my symptoms . The withdrawal sucks and the hyperness and the tiredness sucks. I'm 31 and haven't been on a depressant since I was 15. I lost my sister 5 months ago and it set me into anxiety, panic and depression."


"Never again.  I had mood swings, crazy periods  and out of the norm behavior."


"The new color injectors suck. Harder to push the button and unpredictable on time of injection now tonight the damn thing after 35 seconds didn't retract. When I pulled it away it continues to spray my medicine across the room. Bring back the white sure click."


"In the last year I put on 30lbs going to 207lbs. I have been on Adipex on and off for about 6 weeks. The first 2 weeks I lost 15lbs with diet and exercise, going to 189lbs. I had to stop for a week because I had major constipation. I gained 2lbs back. When I started back with 4 prunes nightly, I have lost another 4lbs. I think the week break helped to get the weight loss started again."


"Nothing, nada, zip happened.  Very dissatisfied."


"I have suffered from plaque psoriasis for 20 years.  I have tried creams, biologics, etc.  Nothing worked for long or it had severe side effects.  After several years of no medical treatment, I contacted my dermatologist to see if there was something else to try.  I'm so glad I did.  My skin is 90% clear, the best it's looked in decades.  Side effects are an upset stomach and loose stools.  I make sure I take a dose with food and early in the day.  If I take it too late in the day, I will not see sleep soundly."


"My husband was on Contrave for 2 weeks, he lost 18 lbs, but he also lost his appetite and ended up in the Emergency Room.  I don't care how obese my husband gets; we both agree he will NOT be taking this medication EVER AGAIN!!!  Screw all pharmaceutical companies!!!"


"This is my 3rd week and I have lost about 11lbs with no side effects yet. Saxenda is the best I have ever tried."


"I have taken 100mg for at least 10 yrs for sleep. It works great for me, a slight groggy feeling in the morning, but well worth it to have a full night sleep. I fall asleep soon after taking it. I have at times sleep walk. I will find out in the morning when I find stuff moved around, dusting supplies in the washer machine, and tools from the garage in the kitchen. But I have slept walked since I was a little girl. And it seems to only happen when I am worried about something. This drug has been around for a long time and the benefit out ways side affects for me."


"I have had Mirena for almost 3 years now. Getting It removed on Monday for sure. I suffer from depression but ever since I got the Mirena it has gotten worse and my anxiety attacks keep coming and coming. I have severe headaches that cause my vision to be blurry in one eye and my left side of my body goes numb. It's very scary and I can't live like this anymore. "


"Lyrica really helps but the cost is almost getting to be too much. "


"This medication cleared my completely congested nose in about an hour. I could breathe perfectly clearly through both nostrils! However, as others have mentioned, it made my heart race, and when I was exercising later that night, I felt lightheaded and had to quit early. I also couldn't sleep that night. My heart was feeling very fluttery and I was wide awake in bed. "


"I've been on alesse for 2 months now. I feel extremely tired all the time, even after drinking coffee and usually coffee makes me wired. I constantly feel bloated even when I haven't eaten anything. Then when I do eat something I feel like I'm about to throw up. I've noticed that I've gained a little bit of weight especially around my tummy/hips. My mood swings are all over the place (I'll cry and get cranky over the dumbest things ALL THE TIME)..Definitely would not recommend this birth control and plan to go off it asap."


"I got the Nexplanon put in my arm last month. I previously had the Mirena, LOVED IT, but it started poking my boyfriend while doing the hibbity-dibbity and after 3 years I developed debilitating headaches. On the flip side, I had no period for almost 3 years... it was the most magical thing ever. I decided I wanted to try something that wasn't so invasive down there, so i went with the Nexplanon. I heard many good things from other friends, I got all excited, ready to have my sex-life back. After getting the Nexplanon put in, I continued to bleed because I had to be on my period when you first get it put in. It stopped for a little bit, still some light spotting. Now, BLOOD, everything and everywhere... blood. Like dripping status. Not happy"


"This worked perfectly fine the first time; I went so much! The only complaint is cramps and bloating and just be aware that when it hits you. You gotta go. So don't be in class or a meeting, but i guess that's a given when taking laxatives. Overall good product that gets the job done."


"Amazing. I've suffered from acne since I was about 11, tried every spot cream , every face wash, and all antibiotics the doctor gave me. Finally at 18 I was prescribed accutane and have been on 40mg a day for 6 months. I finish my course in half a month and I do not have any spots on my face. I do however have hyper pigmentation on my cheeks where my acne was worst but I'm hoping this will fade. Dry lips are a nightmare and occasional back pain but honestly I owe my life to this drug. I hope my acne does not return and that I do not suffer from any more pigmentation. It's so worth while, I'm sad I didn't go on it earlier."


"I have had uncontrollable high blood pressure and hypothyroidism for over 15 years. All the different blood pressure medications the doctors have given me never came close to how well Hyzaar works. Not only has my blood pressure been lowered to near-normal (used to run 190 /120 ) but I have also lost over 25 pounds of fluid from the hydrochlorothiazide. Nothing but high marks for Hyzaar. No bad side effects. I feel the best I have felt in a long, long time!"


"I have been prescribed Tramadol for the past 5 years and it has completly relieved my back pain. I have stopped a few times, but the pain returned. Initially I took 2 x 50mg tablets a day, but now need 3 x 50mg a day to get the same relief. I had a feeling of euphoria and some anxiety side effects during the 1st year, but now these have gone and I just get the pain relief.  I do have mild withdrawal symptoms if I discontinue the Tramadol, which I do every few months for a few days. The withdrawal is in the form of anxiety and an uncomfortable feeling for a couple of days, but nothing that I can not easily put up with. Breaking the continuity of use for a few days is good to prevent more severe withdrawal I believe, but Tramadol is still the best and most effective pain reliever I have tried and I plan to continue using it."


"I was initially diagnosed with ADHD-combined hyperactive and implulsive when I was 16. Up until that point, I struggled with my attention issues and excessive energy and it became increasingly difficult to cope with the symptoms as I got older. My doctor prescribed me Concerta 54 Mg once a day. I immediately noticed significant improvements. I was able to think more clearly and communicate coherently. At the same time I noticed that I had a better ability to control my attention and remain focused over a more prolonged period of time. My grades improved and my relationship with friends and family became much better.

I'm now 26 and still taking the medication. The therapeutic effects are still evident."


"Given this for kidney stones. Takes away the pain helps you relax. I experience a little bit of nausea but not severe. "


"I have been on this medicine for over 10yrs they had to switch me to this medicine because the other medicine I was on wasn't working anyway more. I was on atenolol for awhile for rapid heart rate and then I had chest pains so they switched me to Inderal because I had mitro-valve, so far it is working."


"This is my first time using monistat I am on fire down there!!!!! I almost wiped the cream out "


"Long acting triptan, zero side effects for me. Can be used for prevention of menstrual migraines. Love it!"


"I stopped taking depo because of the depression and lack of sex drive it was causing me. I had the spotting in the beginning for about 3 months and after the second shot I felt dizzy all the time. I'm in the process of getting it out of my system and it's an absolute nightmare. Since skipping my last shot I've had heaving spotting and headaches almost every day. I can't sleep through the night at all and I've been having an increase in nightmares that I'm certain is related to the birth control. My dreams were never this bad before. My hair also started thinning badly and I had to cut about a foot of it off. I loved my long hair. DO NOT get this shot. The side effects are not worth the risk."


"I've been hearing voices due for 2.5 years. Initially, I had severe emotional swings and delusions created by the voices and my interaction with them. I began taking Invega 18 months ago - this was very successful in moderating the emotions and generally calming my mental state. In terms of side effects: I am really struggling to lose any weight even with good diet and exercise, I have very high prolactin levels - this contributes to me not getting periods, having occasional breast discharge and I believe is responsible for 'anorgasmia' - where I have very low sexual desire and arousal and feelings of orgasm are very subdued. These side effects have become more apparent over time."


"Been on Gilenya 15 months. So far so good. Last MRI of brain showed no new lesions and several existing ones shrank a little.  Wish there was more upbeat news to report, but I am pleased with the status quo."


"I am 19 years old and have suffered from moderate to severe acne since I was 13. I had tried everything. And when I say everything%u2026I mean EVERYTHING. Long story short I have finally found something that works for me. Just wanting to share: I have been seeing positive results after taking a women's multivitamin and a vitamin A. As well as getting prescribed a Tretinoin .05 gel. You can do the research but just wanted to also tell people about those. Good luck! I hope you have to same great results I have!"


"I have quit 3 times and it's been my own weakness.  This is my last time. The more you relapse the more you realize you do not want to smoke.  I have gone both times 8 months. It's always at the most stressful occasion, the last was being laid off at 64 after 13 years.  This last Chantix event has been rough but I have cut back on the dosage. I've been on it about 6 weeks. It's not taking as long as it did the first time because I have begun to hate the smoke smell and dependence worse than the enjoyment that I had 2 years ago.  I could never stop without it. Try it, make adjustments, if it doesn't work, so be it.  I quit on the 13th of February, I hope, for the last time.  Don't ever give up, please.  Drink as much water as you can."


"One Esgic tablet  gets rid of my Migraine. I highly recommend it as it doesn't  have any other affects on me such as feeling drowsy or hyper. Also the written side effects seem to be minimal. I  take it when I can't function and unable to tolerate bright lights or noise. It does not impair my ability to drive."


"Lecithin helped me reduce my cholesterol and keep my weight down. I took it for 3 years and never gained weight.  I take only one a day. It also helps constipation."


"I had implant from April 2011 to June 2013.  The first year could not have been better, no weight gain, no period whatsoever, no spotting, no moodiness, nothing! It was just so perfect! March 2012 I instantly gained 15 pounds and had a period that lasted almost 2 weeks.  I thought it was water weight and a long period because I hadn't had one in almost a year. My horrible periods became unbearable in May 2013.  I would soak through super plus tampons in 2 hours, and this lasted 2 weeks. If it had stayed like it was the first year I'd still be on it, but everything changed after about a year. So that's why I give this a 5."


"I have been on Avenox for about 2 years now and had no relapses. When I started the medication I had horrible side effects. I almost changed the medication, but thank god it got better with time. What I like about Avenox is that it is only once a week, because I'm afraid of needles."


"I was on Yasmin for over a year and I switched to Gianvi. I've been taking it now for 2 weeks and my appetite has increased like no other but my weight hasn't changed. I eat and 20 minutes later I'm starving again. This will go on all day. My sex drive has increased and no changes in my complexion yet. Anyone else experience this?"


"Minocycline 100mg did work for me. For the very first month, I noticed my skin getting worst,  but I decided to give it another month which was right decision. Now after 2 months my skin is clear and I'm quite happy with the results"


"Battled booze for 25 years and had some times of sobriety because always went back to quiet that craving - will power was not enough. After taking my first dose of Campral, I felt better than I had in years! The craving disappeared and the oppression in my head that kept telling me to take a shot also disappeared! I wish I had known about this drug years ago. The craving was a real thing and I discovered the years of drinking had actually altered the chemistry of my brain. Campral fixed that. I have been sober for 3 months with NO desire to drink. I will take this as long as needed. Original price was $220 a month but now down to $53 a month. The website goodRX.com gives the best prices - regardless of insurance. Miracle Drug! Highly recomm"


"I was prescribed lortab for pain due to an infected tooth.  I do not feel it helped the pain at all.  The only thing that it definitely does is helps me fall asleep.  I am still in pain waiting for the antibiotics to clear up the infection so I can get a root canal. I haven't got the same results as the people that consider this magical.  I really wish it was like that for me."


"Have always had severe allergies since a child, I first used Zyrtec about 14 years ago, worked great but I could barely stay awake at work, it was bad, I'm a dental assistant and I actually fell asleep while assisting(sitting on the assistant chair!) I could barely drive, I confided in a co-worker and she asked me if I was taking anything, I told her just allergy pills, she asked which ones and she said her daughter takes them but she has to take them a couple of hours before bed. I could have easily had a car accident. Anyhow now i'm researching what to take for mango skin allergy, I have Allegra which isn't as good and since I don't work now I'm going to take Zyrtec for it after reading the reviews on it."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I have been on Beyaz for a little over a week and I feel like a crazy person. Like so many of the comments I've read, I also switched from Yaz to Beyaz after its Bayer Saver's Program expired. Now I have headaches almost daily and am extremely moody. It's terrible."


"Does not work one bit. I get coldsores quite often. I've been trying Abreva for a few years now and it's a complete waste of money.  Felt one come on. ..put Abreva literally every 15min and now it's bigger and it spread. ...don't waste your hard earned $25"


"ROPRINOLE Did stop the nighttime leg cramps, but after 3 or so years I began having sudden periods of sleep during the day including while driving, so, per Doctor's instructions, I am reducing the amount of Roprinole I Take at bedtime.  So far so good."


"Rheumatoid arthritis Pain in knees and shoulder not helped by tramadol or opioids."


"This is the only drug that has kept my generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder under control. I prescribed this by my PCP when I was about 20 and have been taking it up to the present. I couldn't go without it. "


"I will have been on Aviane for two years as of next month. Once my prescription ends next month, I find it is time to get off of it. Its done its job preventing pregnancy and I do have shorter periods. However, I have gained 20 pounds in the past two years, went from a 34 C to a 38 D (on the brink of DD), acne has stayed the same and I have experienced mood swings, anger, and depression. "


"Type II for about three years.  Has been somewhat uncontrolled for two years.  On 2000 mg Metformin and started Trulicity two weeks ago.  Both weeks, on day 3 after the shot, I've experiencing severe nausea and headache for about 4 hours.  Other side effects are minimal, but annoying.  I'm optimistic that side effects will go away over time as they did with Metformin.  The medication is working though, my fasting AM blood sugars have been in the 170-200 range and this morning it was 115."


"Worked immediately for me within hours of taking it. Such a relief! Thankfully my insurance covers it. I am taking the 59 mg extended release if that is any different. I have had virtually no side effects and I am even on blood pressure medicine and had kidney failure once!"


"I absolutely love this product. I am 15 years old and this thing is a life saver. I use it every night before bed on my back, shoulders, chest and face. It clears my skin up in a couple days. The only down side I would say is that it drys out your skin alot. I have fairly oil skin too. But I use moisturizer so it isn't to much of a problem. I recommend it to my friends all the time."


"I was diagnosed with uc in my twenties. For many years I maintained with various medications and only a couple of relatively minor flare ups.  Suddenly at age 56 I had a severe flare up that did not respond to prednisone. Removing colon was brought up. After much suffering and weight loss for about 3 months I was put on Remicade by my wonderful GI. Within a couple of weeks my condition began to improve. I am now almost 7 years with infusions every 8 weeks. I am very grateful for this medication, although I do wonder if my immune system is weakened. It really doesn't compare to almost dying or having major surgery. I know it doesn't work for everyone but for me it was a miracle."


"I'm on my 3rd pack and so far it has been GREAT! I've tried Ortho-Tricyclen Lo and Alesse in the past, and both made me feel super emotional and like I was PMSing.  I feel like I normally do while taking Reclipsen and I've noticed that I've dropped some weight as well.  I do have polycystic ovarian syndrome, so it may be because my hormones are getting regulated with the pill.  Another thing I've noticed is that my breasts have grown a bit larger.  I am now wearing a D cup instead of a C.  My breasts were a bit sore the first 6 weeks, but not anymore.  But so far, so good!"


"Kept me awake. Didn't help much with pain."


"I've only been on it for a month, but have tried other birth controls before (Loestrin 24, Microgestin Fe, and Fecom Fe). I was off for about a year since those made me get incredibly nauseous all the time.  Over this month on the patch though, I really haven't noticed any nausea or other negative side effects.  Sex drive has decreased, and breast tenderness has occurred over weeks 2 and 3, but nothing too bad.  It's completely different than other birth controls I have been on, and it's been great!  I'm thrilled to see people have been on for 4-5 years and still been happy with it.  I'm definitely continuing on it and hopefully I've found one to keep forever!"


"Ready to try it out!"


"Since 2007, I've taken Lexapro in varying doses from 10 - 40 mg. Now 2017, I believe it no longer worked as it once did. My Psychiatrist had mentioned Celexa to me, explaining it's basically the same compound construction but ONE Molecule. I  have marked Depression, but also suffer from Stress, Anxiety, Post-traumatic Stress, some OCD tendencies, ADHD & sleep issues. I have been on 20 mg of this, Celexa, now for over a week and immediately, within 2-3 days, felt the difference, in a great way! My body is extremely sensitive to certain types of Psych meds. My body also metabolizes medications differently from season to season. I believe at the right dose of this, Celexa, I will be able to come off of the 2mg of Clonazepam. Give it time!"


"This drug made my muscles hurt for MONTHS!!! I will NEVER take it again. My doctor agreed I should never take it again. Very painful!"


"Viibryd has changed my life for the better. I now have more energy and a positive outlook on life. I've read of several people having restless legs. I,too, have this from time to time and I've been on Viibryd for almost a year now. (20 mg a day) I have found that exercise takes care of this problem almost completely! I still have very slight waves of dizziness and some GI problems. I've had the opposite problem that most people get on this med, that being diarrhea. I have constipation, but I just drink more water and eat more fruits & veggies which helps tremendously. The benefits of this med far outweigh the side effects!! Oh, I also have the very vivid dreams!! Very strange!!"


"I have been taking it about 4.5 weeks and I'm down 16 pounds as of this morning. I was skeptical because diet and exercise only toned me without any weight loss. I'm currently at 2.4 and move up to 3.0 Saturday. The only side effects I've had were nausea in the beginning and heartburn throughout. I would recommend this for anyone that has problems losing weight."


"The first time I tried this my tumor shrunk by half in 3 months.  I had to stop due to the extreme side effects.  Just restarted at a lower dose and there are still some wicked side effects.  However with the results I've had I'll tough it out and keep hoping for the best."


"Tested positive for influenza, type A. Started taking Tamiflu Tuesday evening (symptoms started Monday afternoon). The next day, all of my excruciating body aches were gone.  I have one more pill to take and am suffering from insomnia and a good bit of dizziness (maybe dizzy because I'm not sleeping enough?). Other than that, I feel like most of the flu symptoms are gone. I have a lingering productive cough, but I imagine that takes a while to go away anyways.  I always take the medication with a meal. If I'm not hungry, I force myself to eat a piece of bread with peanut butter and a banana. I wouldn't take this on an empty stomach since my directions tell me to take with a meal. I would take this again if I got the flu again."


"I take Cymbalta for Generalised Anxiety Disorder and depression, something I've had on and off for 6 years (I am now 24). A lot of people are quick to write this drug off, and I admit the initial side effects can be tough like nausea and feeling so tired, but after taking 30mg for three weeks and increasing to 60, with the increase I noticed a quick change, my anxiety decreased rapidly, and instead of tiredness I began to experience an almost high feeling which sometimes makes me hyperactive, but surely that's better than anxiety and depression. I would recommend taking it, but give it a few weeks and take the proper 60ng dose before you judge it; it's really helped me, it's got me out of s really bad place."


"I took one of these and felt nearly suicidal within a few hours. The warning labels say if you have previously experienced "certain psychiatric conditions" then you should not take the medication. Well, those conditions include garden-variety depression which a pretty large percentage of the population has experienced. "


"Did not taste nearly as bad as anticipated; used a straw to get it far back in mouth and drank it pretty quickly.  Very minor nausea for about 10-15 minutes, started working in about 20-30 minutes, was able to leave bathroom after about an hour and a half then maybe one more trip.  No cramping, etc.  Much easier than I had heard it would be."


"I've been using Alesse for about 2 years now. It was the first BC pill that I was prescribed. I was hesitant to use hormonal contraceptives because of mood swings and spotting. However with Alesse, I experienced neither of those side effects. I can't say it made my skin any clearer. I don't have severe acne but it didn't clear up my pimples. One side effect I did experience was weight gain. I am normally about 105 pounds but on the pill I gain about 3-4 pounds. I just feel very bloated. However, when I stop the pill temporarily ( the week of my period) I go back to my regular weight. I realized I could manage this by just watching what I eat and I exercise a bit more. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Alesse!"


"I was prescribed these pills as add back therapy while taking the lupron depot shot for my hot flashes. At first I had headaches and nausea. But after talking it for 31 days it has taken away the hot flashes. But now I'm bleeding and cramping which is one of the side effects of the pills. Hoping that it stops. Haven't had a period in over a year with the Lupron Depot shot. Was bleeding for 2 months before the shot due to fibroids. Just wish that it stops and the cramping. Seems like it is taking away the effects of the Lupron Depot shot."


"I used differen when it first arrived on the market. I'm a black woman btw. stopped cause it was making my face peel. Maybe five years later the derm told me use it again along with doxy pills and it cleared my skin up without flaking this time. Every time I stop using it for a while I get acne again I'm 25 and I still get breakouts depending on what I'm eating( I love junk). I think I will stick with It and not go long without using it even for tiny pimples. Only had the flaking and burning the very first time using so my advice to newbies is to not use as much when U r just starting it. And take care of your Insides. Stay hydrated Your skin must get used to it for it to work. No more doxy only this gel. Skin is supple again!"


"This is the ONLY antidepressant that has A) worked for me and B) not caused weight gain. Yes, its expensive. Yes, it causes horrible nausea for the first few weeks.  I've been on it for several months now, and unfortunately I still get slightly nauseous every morning when I take (with or without food).  But its been completely worth it for me. My depression no longer controls my life or causes me to miss work or school.

My advice: try it if you can afford it. Soldier through the initial week or so of nausea. Give it a chance and it might just be your miracle drug - it was for me. Mild nausea for 20 minutes every morning is a small price to pay for an antidepressant that truly works. 9/10 only due to price and nausea."


"Took about 4 hrs to kick in. Do not make the mistake I did and think it's just gas prior to the real deal. Good thing I had a change of clothes with me."


"Just 5 mg made me blow up like a balloon. It increased my anxiety and I experienced blurry vision. It may work for some, but not for me."


"I have used Risperdal several times over the last few years. Originally, I was taking it for ruminating thoughts (I call it busy head) and difficulty sleeping. It definitely helped slow down my thoughts and allowed me to sleep better.  After my son was born, I was having some postpartum depression and went back on Risperdal.  It helped with the kindling and agitation, but I did gain about 10-15 pounds on it.  When I stopped the medication, the weight fell off.  Most recently, I'm using it as an adjunct therapy to Neurontin and Trileptal for agitation and anxiety. I have emetephobia and this has been the only thing that has allowed me to be around my phobia and not have a panic attack and an ER visit.  I do not like the weight gain."


"I'm bipolar II and this med works very well. The depression still comes and goes and I do feel kinda crappy somewhat often, but it is definitely not horrible and incapacitating like it was before. Also Lamictal has reduced my hypomania probably by half, and makes it barely noticeable unless I am trying to sleep. A huge plus is that I've had ZERO side effects of any kind (other than temporary ones when increasing doses), which is very rare for antidepressants and anti-mania drugs. Hope this was helpful and hopeful"


"I have been on this medication for the past 2 months and absolutely see a remarkable difference.  I've gone from a headache a week to one slight one in 2 months."


"I have had problems with hormonal birth control since I can remember.  This IUD was a simple decision for me after having my first child since it isn't hormonal.  The only side effect that I have had is longer periods.  I do plan on having another child some day, just not now, and I can do that with Paragard."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I have no problems with these vitamins although they are a little pricey. They have all of the nutrients for me and the baby. If you don't like the after taste try taking them before going to bed."


"I had to take my first lot at 7pm and struggled to keep it down tasted vile after an hour it kicked in and I could not move at all of the toilet for five hours I was so exhausted all I wanted was to go to sleep I finally got three hours sleep and woke up running the loo again took my next lot at 6am and had to drink it on the loo for the next six and a half hours again I couldn't move had to ring the hospital to see if it was normal as it was not stopping I hated it most people said after two hours theres stopped but it must not have agreed with me never again will I do that it was awfull everyone is different but just incase this happens to someone else it happened to me to and eventually it did stop an hour before my appt at 1.30pm."


"Works well."


"It worked! After trying Aldara this one worked good luck everyone. "


"I'm allergic to penicillin, so this is pretty much my best option. I'm terrified of the long list of sides effects on most medicines, but I've had this 3 times before for various conditions and it hasn't killed me. It works really well but it's so important that you keep taking it for the full duration. It usually starts working in  2- 3 days. As for side effects, I always get the metallic taste (I don't know why they list this as an uncommon side effect instead of common) as well as stomach pains and nausea. Never had diarrhea from it. My advice would be to take food with it or 30 mins before, and sit/stand for the next few hours. When you lie down, the symptoms are much worse, especially the nausea, cramps & metallic taste."


"The new round 5/325 U01 hydrocodone pills by Aurolife Pharma is different. I don't know what they added or subtracted, but I have been on 10mg for 10+yrs and I got these today; I have never been so drugged up in my life. I slept for 6 hrs during the day. I believe this may be their way of combating drug abusers, but they forget not everyone is a abuser. I get my medicine from a pain clinic.Be careful if you take these."


"I got the Liletta in 08/2016 after experiencing a miscarriage.  I've had cramping the first week which went away but now I have a low sex drive, acne and weight gain.  I went a dermatologist, she prescribed facial wash, antibiotics and suggest I remove the IUD.  She also said progestin based birth control can make acne worse.  I will remove next week.  Don't use if you don't have to."


"I got this implant in February of

2013. I've not had a single period since. Every once in awhile some old blood will come out nothing heavy at all and it lasts maybe a week. I had no pain with insertion. As far as side effects I've only had mood swings, sometimes the insertion site itches but not often and usually subsides quickly after itching. No weight gain, headaches, periods, acne, and no decreased Sex drive. I love this implant because I was on the pill before and I could never remember to take it with this you don't have to worry about remembering anything. I would definitely recommend this."


"I was prescribed Zyprexa to treat my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  I will say that my OCD behaviors were considerably helped, but the side effects were far too great for me.  Thankfully I'm a teacher and it was summer vacation because I couldn't wake up before 1pm (granted, I do tend to sleep late in the summer, but not that late), and when I could finally pull myself out of bed, all I would be able to do until around 7pm was lie on the couch with the posture of overcooked spaghetti, except when I was eating non-stop.  The cravings were insatiable.  I've always been very thin, but in that one summer I gained around 20 pounds.  I had to switch medicines."


"Wonderful medicine. I was failing school before I took it. After it was prescribed to me I was focused and graduated with a 3.7 GPA."


"Ok so I've been on it for 6 months two years ago and I felt really confused, disoriented and fuzzy... So now I went on this birth control again and the SAME THING. Now I know what its from - its this birth control. I feel really weird at work I would get in this state where I'm just confused and I'm always sooo tired on it. Other than that it would have been a great pill to stay on because it didn't make me gain or lose weight and my periods were much lighter. Anyone else feel like this though? I'm going to stop taking it today"


"Several days after starting cymbalta I started having energy and no pain.  I was so elated. Who cares if you sweat a river?  Who cares if you can't go outside from May through sept?  After taking it for several years I began to slowly turn from my dream to a night mare.  I sweated all year and was hot in the winter as well.  Everyone was freezing and I was hot and didn't want the heat running.  I gained 40 pounds but all the symptoms returned.  I finally weaned down to 30 mg then cold turkey. I have now been totally off cymbalta for 25 days and have gained 10 more lbs.  I can't even buy clothes big enough because my stomach looks 9 months pregnant. My thighs are as big as a professional football player."


"Since I was a teenager I have been struggling with Insomnia. So I was sent to a Psychiatrist who was fairly old. So as he prescribed Xanax and Valium for me in the day time. He gave me Amytal (amobarbital) 200mg Capsules for insomnia. These work more than you can believe. However as there wasn't a huge demand for it it was taken off the market, and I was put on Restoril 30mg x 2,
didn't work. Ambien in my opinion is the best they have on the market right now. "


"I have been on Sronyx for 5 months now. I had Mirena previously which was a nightmare but that's another story. Since I started this pill I've had no problems or side-effects until recently. I am now constantly bloated, abdominal pain which varies, upset stomach and white vaginal discharge. I have no idea what has brought upon these symptoms but it is quite annoying. I have taken a pregnancy test just to rule out causes and test was negative. Overall this medication does serve its purpose and if no further problems I will continue to use it."


"This product seemed to work really fast but sometimes it wouldn't take care of all the pain from the migraine. Also, I noticed when I do a hard body workout at the gym and if I get a migraine the next day or two, after that workout the medicine made my body ache real bad. My chest, arms, and legs would really hurt from the constricting blood vessels. "


"This pill didn't work for my migraines and also caused stomach upset."


"This drug works for psychotic symptoms but its terrible in many ways! For example sexual dysfunction... I'm switching to abilify in a few months and hoping for the best."


"25mg for insomnia. I always used to fall asleep and have a sound sleep until 3 am. Comes 3 am. I used to wake up and stay awake until 5 or 6 am. This compromised my day. My experience is to take Seroquel before 1 am. I get 8 or 9 hours of sleep every night. If I wake up, I am sure to fall asleep right away. On the flip side, I believe I became addicted to Seroquel to the point that if I even miss one night I don't sleep well. Oh well it's a tradeoff I guess."


"Not really any relief need something more."


"Have completed 1 month on viibryd, but no change in mood. This weekend I will go from 20mg to 40. I was on highest doses of Lexapro, then Effexor, so might need 40 b/f seeing change. I've come this far, so I'll stick it out and see what happens. Have had vivid, detailed dreams every night, but no nightmares. Did forget to take med 1 morning and had terrible day at work--extreme irritability, even anger. Took med when got home, and next day back to normal. Also experienced increased depression & sadness when took med too late 1 Saturday. Whole time on med, have eaten less, but only feel like eating salty, sweet, and/or high fat foods. No interest in salad or veggies, which I normally eat. Hopefully that will change."


"I have had chronic cluster headaches for years-and generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks and was diagnosed about a yr and a half ago w Bipolar 2  Neurontin was given to me for nerve pain which it didnt help. But- for anxiety, panic, living with a feeling of constant uneasiness and dread... it is LIFE-CHANGING for me.  I no longer have to live that horror. It honestly was a horror.   So this is what living feels like!!!!!!  I am unable to express my gratitude to the Dr that prescribed this to me. Absolutely LIFE-CHANGING   If you suffer from any of the forementioned conditions- its worth trying. It works within 25mins of taking it. Theres no prolonged waiting period.  I take 800mg 3x day."


"I have been on aubagio for 6 mths.  Easy  to take especially after being on Copaxone for 5 years. No side effects except that I have been experiencing hair thinning, hair loss for the past 2 months.  The amount of loss is moderate and to be honest, it is worrisome. I cant find any info about when the hair shedding will stop. I had long thick hair but just had 8 inches cut off as shorter strands are easier to deal with than longer strands. I see me neuro this week and will ask.  Called the one to one nurse and it was a total waste of time.  I asked about how long does the hair shedding usually last and she replied by reading to me, word for word, what is on the aubagio site about hair loss."


"I havery epilepsy since I was a baby. I take Lamictal and Keppra. Last year I had a grand mal seizure. Went to the hospital and everything. I saw my neurologist and she put me on Lamictal XR and Keppra XR. Ever since then I'm having a lot of side effects. I have atleast 10 of them from both Lamictal and Keppra. Having problems from both. My neurologist does not care about the side effects. I'm scared to go outside a lot. I'm moody every day, sleep during the day, insomnia, diarrhea, constipation, etc, it is annoying. I want to be off of thsee pills and want a better life. I rather take something else."


"I was unable to sleep and was relieved to find I had some Zantac. After an hour symptoms had absolutely no change and I felt like I was just swollowing more glass."


"I have been on Xyrem for nearly 2 months now. I have been slowly increasing my doses and am currently on 4 grams 2xs/night (I'm 30 and weight about 123lbs). I take 150 mg of Nuvigil during the day. I still have yet to wake up with this amazing "refreshed" feeling everyone discusses. 1 day I accidentally forgot my Nuvigil at home and was falling asleep driving to work, which happened before I was on any narcolepsy medications. I at least appreciate not falling asleep anymore but I don't have any proof that Xyrem has contributed to it. I am close to giving up but will carry it out until I have tried the full 4.5 doses of Xyrem for a week or 2. Keep your fingers crossed for me because I am desperate to have a normal life."


"My experience was mixed. I took Maxalt MLT as soon as I had my usual "Aura". It worked within 30 minutes. The aura was gone and I never did get a migraine. However, within an hour I had a severe angina attack and had to take my nitro twice to relieve the pain. Nitro glycerin gives you a headache, so I think I'd rather have the migraine than the chest pain! My daughter took it and had a wonderful experience, took the pain away within 30 minutes and no side effects at all. I guess I won't be taking it again. Too bad, it worked on the migraine."


"This was the only allergy medicine that worked.  I used Drixoral for years with no side effects.  I've heard (from pharmacists) that the manufacturer is changing the formula.  Probably won't work as well."


"I had nothing but problems the entire time I had my Mirena. I had it inserted Feb 2007 and just had it taken out today (Jan 5, 2012). I had nothing but migraines, backaches, bloating, severe cramping, irritability, extreme weight gain (50 lbs total) anxiety, sharp stabbing pains in my ovaries and my husband was always being poked by those strings. The only reason I kept it in was because it did what it was supposed to do- stop me from becoming pregnant. This past weekend I was in so much pain I was in tears. I went to my ob/gyn first thing this morning and had it removed. Now apparently I am going through a 'Mirena crash' and feel like I am getting the flu. This Mirena- the gift that keeps on giving."


"Doctors would often laugh when they heard which medication I was taking for ADHD: Cylert, I was on a "kid dosage": 37.5 mg, 1 in the morning. I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit as a young adult. I'd struggled my whole life with social anxiety, depression, impulsiveness, inability to remain in stable relationships. Maintained a good GPA through my Junior year in University and couldn't tolerate one more year. I'd always been creative and quickly learned what interested me. I was shocked when Cylert was blackboxed. My liver function was fine and I had a normal sex drive. After decades of demanding high-tech jobs, one day Cylert just quit working. Ritalin..finally Adderall. Both killed my sex drive. BUT I could focus! Switching to Dexedrine ER."


"I have taken Mirapex an average of 4 nights per week for about 11 months. I have no restless leg when I take it at least an hour or so before the usual onset (for me, bed time). I am so very happy to have found such a simple cure to something that has plagued me and caused me problems for thirty years. Now I can even travel in an air plane or car in the evening and at night with no restless legs....a huge change for me. I am thrilled. I love it. I have not noticed any side effects."


"I have suffered from incredibly awful menstrual migraines while on the "inactive" break pills with every brand of birth control, for years. The low dose estrogen break pills with seasonique have saved my life! Zero headaches and lighter periods. I can't believe I suffered all these years. 10/10 recommend!"


"The very first day I took otezla it felt like I was going to vomit but I didn't so I continued taking it. Then after taking the second and third ones for the evening I started having pains on my right shoulder. I thought I slept funny.  But the pain was still bearable and I thought it will go away so I continued taking it although I began having a hard time sleeping. The seventh day/evening it got worst. Right after I took the evening pill the pain on my right shoulder went all the way to my arms and my right fingers. I was up until 3 in the morning I couldn't sleep and thought of going to the urgent care. The next morning,  both of my arms are in pain, I decided to stopped taking Otezla. I should have not taken it in the beginning."


"I found Tegretol amazing. It made me so calm and stable even after a few days, the only issue with it is it makes me very drowsy and a little disorientated. That's the one side effect I've noticed. So if you drive a lot or operate heavy machinery or are a surgeon this is not the medication for you. Otherwise it is a great mood stabilizer."


"I have been taking Flomax for a month for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. I had been getting up to urinate 2 or 3 times a night, suffering from severe pain during urination. Since starting Flomax I have found  myself dizzy if getting up quickly, blurred vision, decreased sex drive with abnormal ejaculate. I have lower back pain. I feel weaker and tired all the time. On the up side I can go all night with no need to get up to urinate and the pain while urinating is 50 percent less."


"I have Mirena since last 6 months. I'm feeling normal and my periods are extremely light. I don't need pads just liners are fine for my periods."


"For about a year I suffered from depression and put on nearly 70lbs bringing my total weight to 221lbs. I have been taking phentermine for one week now, exercising 7 days a week for 1 hr and eating under 1000 calories. So far I have lost 6 lbs in 6 days, my goal weight is 160lbs."


"I'm a 43 yr female and have had Ankylosing Spondylitis since 15 yrs old. Started Humira a year ago and only lasted 6 months taking it as it made me sick, feverish, weak, sweating and confusion and generally feeling unwell but my pain was significantly reduced and had fatigue. Had to stop taking it, couldn't stand feeling sick."


"I have been taking the Zohydro 50 for about 8 months now.  I started off with the Hyslinga 80 mg but it was not lasting the full 24 hours so my Pain Dr. put me on the Zohydro 50mg twice a day.  For the most part it has worked well... I loved the fact that I did not have to take 6 pills a day to try to manage my pain..  And I will say the Zohydro worked a lot better that taking all those pills.  My last appointment I got my prescriptions and took to the pharmacy only to find out that my insurance company... Blue Cross/Blue Shield... Yes I am blasting them...  Ended up having to go back on the Hydrocodone 10mg 6 times a day and it is NOT working... In CONSTANT Pain... So upset about this!!!"


"I'm a 38 year old man who has had Tourette's from the age of 8. The only medicine I have found to control my tics almost 100% is Orap. When I take the medication my tics are almost none. I am very lucky not to have the speech tics. Mine are mostly ticks in my eyes and face."


"Breo didn't really do anything to help my asthma. On the bright side, there were no side effects."


"I've been on the nexplanon for a Year and a half. For the first 6 months I bled very lightly I needed to use a panty liner it was very annoying so it frustrated me a lot and I had bad mood swings because of this frustration, after taking birth control that my OBGYN prescribed to me while on the nexplanon somehow it stopped the bleeding and my periods went back to normal I didn't have them consistently I probably had 3 periods a year but what I have noticed I've been having very bad facial hair upper lip and Chin I get a wax at least once a week all in all I like the fact that I can't get pregnant but not really liking the side effects it's also very hard to lose weight"


"I have been taking Celexa about a month and a half for anxiety. I didn't go to the doctor, on the given day, to get anything but an antibiotic for being sick. I walked out of the doctor's office that day with Celexa also. I was VERY fearful of taking a type of drug like this, but I was also tired of being very anxious - always have been. I was easy to irritate. I couldn't handle stress well and couldn't seem to focus at the task at hand when I was stressed. Celexa has taken away these feelings. I feel 'normal' now, so to speak and can handle everything better. I can also orgasm, no problems (am married) ;-) and I have NOT gained any weight! I can cry also and have normal emotional responses. Celexa has been great!"


""Eat fiber eat fiber eat fiber!" There isn't enough fiber in the world that a person with dysmotility could eat that would work for them. After finally being hooked up with an excellent doctor, I was prescribed Linzess 290mg. It is a miracle and I fully intend to take this medicine every day for the rest of my life.

An entire life of suffering, and I've finally found something that works."


"I have had acid reflux for over 5 years and was on regular ppi medicine . Doctor prescribed carafate solution for relief from a flare up.. It is the best medicine . I have weaned off myself from ppi slowly and still using carafate once a day at nighttime .. Doctor has prescribed it 4 times a day but for me nighttime works best .. It is bit expensive but My 1 bottle lasts for couple of months . Ppi has lots of side effects but carafate is pretty safe .. Ask your doctor you wont regret it"


"I take 20mg methotrexate each week and it is so wonderful to feel 'normal' again. I have no side effects with it and all my pain is gone.  Love it!"


"Boniva has work wonders for me. It is the first time my bone density has improved in 4 years."


"I'm only taking 50 mg at night for my leg sciatica pain and I feel dizzy at times. I'm also using Dr. Ho TENS machine on my lower back for 40 minutes to scramble the signal pain. I think both are helping right now.

I was on a higher dose over 300mg a few years ago and my hands and feet swelled up and I gained 30 pounds I can't get rid of now even with water pills, so I had to stop med.

I've had shingles right when I turned 50 before I could get the Shingles vaccine which I recommend to everyone as shingles is painful! I took only Lyrica 25mg two or three times a day to stop the shingles pain, A low dose due to side effects from a larger dose."


"Recently, I went to the emergency room with a blood pressure of 212 - 231 over 100 and pulse 68.  Nothing was wrong physiologically, the ER doctor suggested reviewing my many medications with my primary doctor and cardiologist.  I tend to be proactive and while doing this I dialed back my meds to the bare minimum which left blood pressure medication, aspirin and Asthma inhaler, thus eliminating my Spiriva despite not having any side effects.  Today after a couple of days, off of Spiriva, I had real difficulty breathing and shall breathing, so much so that I cut my activities short to get home and rest. I reviewed the Spiriva side effects and applicable to me would be increased heart rate, and in my case a benefit. Can't live without Spiriva"


"I had bad acne in the past and had to be on accutane. As soon as I started this bc I started breaking out like crazy new zits on my face every single day. I'm stopping the bc to see if it's the culprit of my acne. Having acne on my face has always made me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. Let's hope I see results after stopping it. I hope this helps."


"Typical hyperhidrosis story, here. All of my white undershirts have nasty looking yellow/brown stains on the pits and a lot of colored shirts have white stains from sweating so much that over the counter deodorant had stained the pits. I'll admit, I didn't have a ton of hope for drysol, as no deodorant has ever worked for me. This stuff works. I'm amazed. The only problem is that it is excruciatingly itchy. I thought this would only be for the first couple of nights, but nope. Every single night it itches like hell for about 30 minutes. Even before I apply it, there's a slight itch. Occasionally the itching is accompanied by a slight burning sensation, but not always. The stuff works wonders and I'd rate it 10/10 if it wasn't for the itch."


"I have only taken Lexapro (generic) for 3 days now.  Dr. put me 5mg but told me to cut it in half for about a week.  This morning when I woke up I felt GREAT!  Not hypomanic great, just great all around.  I didn't have the tormenting thoughts in my head as soon as woke up like I usually did.  I have been on "depressed mode" with my BiPolar since at least May 2015 and I felt "real" and "normal" (whatever that is lol) this morning.  I am very sensitive to medications with side effects of drowsiness and I have felt a little sleepy but not bad.  I can actually accomplish things!  I have had diarrhea but if I am going to feel like this then I can deal with it and it will probably go away."


"This medication has worked very well for helping to control my break through pain of RSD/CRPS which is the most painful chronic pain disease there is.  I have been on 10/650 for a long time but now my doctor is concerned that I am getting too much Tylenol in my dosage - I am going to try to get her to move me to 10/325.  The max dosage of Tylenol should be 2650 mg a day, NOT 4000 as it has been updated.  I am not worried about becoming addicted as I take my dosages as directed.  There is a huge difference between addiction and dependence of your pain medications.  I also take Opana ER 40mg 2 X day.  These two medicines work well for me."


"I had the same experience, it was unprotected and he did not pull out on time, and after he pulled out it came out right on the surface, I got really mad at him and I freaked out too 'cause I'm too young, and I just started college. I have been crying myself to sleep every night, I tried my best to distract myself from over thinking, and everyday I tell my boyfriend how much I hated him for not being careful. I doubt the pill at first for not feeling any side effects, but after 3 days I started to feel cramps and nausea, and after 5 days I started spotting at night, and the morning after that I woke up and THERE I GO!!! I got my period! It was 2 days late but still. So calm yourselves down ladies! Plan B works!"


"I have been using Nexium for 10 years but not on daily basis, A 40mg would last me for 4 days before getting the symptoms again. It felt great and still feels great to get rid of that awful acidity. Causes for my GERD are eating habits, type of food (spicy, oily, sour, tea, sweets) also smoking is a major contributor. I couldn't give up on my habits and use Nexium to avoid acidity.
Recently there's been strong debates against proton pump inhibitors (PPI) which Nexium is part of. Along with all the reviews against it and how it reduces bone density. A recent study says it can result in early death as PPI alters genes behavior.
My advice, the full extent of side effects still not fully known avoid if you can."


"Was on Enbrel a few years back, then the plaque came back, my dr put me on humira, it cleared 20% so far.  two months plus, will give it more time :-("


"I've been on Xanax for 20 years for anxiety. I have tried just about everything they have come out with and this is all that works."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"Don't be afraid to take the PrevPac for h. pylori. I have suffered for a month with pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. I'm on only day 3 of a 14 day treatment and I am almost back to my old self again! Many people complain about the side effects, but all I have experienced is a slight metal taste in my mouth at times - so worth being almost well."


Chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / pseudoephedrine

"I have had sinus problems my whole life. I am now 45 years old and they have tried me on all kinds of medicines over the years. And nothing ever helped. I would have my sinus' back up into my ears and end up with ear infections at least 8 to 9 times a year. I started taking Mescolor about 9 years ago and then when they came out with  the Hist Vent I started taking it. I have only had 1 ear infection in all these years, since starting it. The only side effect is that it dries everything out like your mouth will get dry and hair and skin may be dryer and have a harder time going to the bathroom but just drink a lot more water and that helps."


"I'm on low dose of valium. I'm not complaining as it's helping to stay off booze. I just try as well not to drink cause I don't want to take more valium than what is recommended for me and its really great. It's also helping drug cravings. Started exercising as well so I'm hoping to get off valium soon replace it with gym but meanwhile its really helping."


"I'm writing a post insertion review. I got my IUD inserted 5 days ago. The insertion was quick, about 2 min. I have a low pain threshold. But it wasn't much worse than a PAP exam. I have white coat syndrome, so I was clammy and nervous. But that's normal for me. I cramped with really dull cramps that evening. But they have since been fewer and further between. I sat on the floor to do my nails after and that felt better than laying down. Ibuprofen and heated adhesive pads helped a lot. My period started 2 days before insertion, and was heavy for 24 hours, but after that, normal. After reading some reviews, I plan to take iron supplements and probiotics to prevent iron deficiency and vaginal infections. I was on the Nuvaring for 5 years. :)"


"I'm a 45 year old extremely fit women who eats extremely healthy BUT has suffered with IBS-C for 25  years. I used to take Bentyl when I would have IBS attacks, but I kept needing more and more which would continue to constipate me.  Welcome Linzess!  After getting the dosing and timing right, it's been a LIFESAVER!  I take the lower dose before bed and have 4-5 loose BM's in the morning which cleans out my system.  I have not had a single IBS attack in MONTHS since I started Linzess.  Yes, it's a pain in the bottom, but I'd rather have 4-5 loose stools in the morning than live with constant constipation.  The days I don't take it at night, I don't go to the bathroom in the morning. Relief...finally!"


"When my daughter was 13, she had a sudden and severe onset of UC. She was hospitalized for 2 weeks (had constant pain, couldn't eat, and was going to the bathroom  15-20x/ day). She was given IV steroids/medications with no improvement of symptoms. The day after receiving remicade, her pain was gone and she wanted to eat. She went into complete remission and has had no symptoms for the last  4 years. She  does remicade infusions every 10 weeks.  It has been her wonder drug! But my other dtr was diagnosed with crohns a year later at 11. Her onset was slower and she was put on various medications first. Remicade worked for her for several months but then became less effective even with increasing dose and frequency so she was switched to humi"


"I recently got put on Metformin the 31st of August so it has been about 7 days. I have horrible diarrhea, upset stomach, loss of appetite and fatigue. I gained almost 70 pounds in 2015 due to PCOS. I am hoping this medicine will help with weight loss & getting things back into control."


"Was given Cipro for a bladder infection. Took it for 5 or 6 days. Every day I felt sicker to the point that I couldn't even eat. Lost 10 pounds in three days. All I could do was sleep. My wife looked it up and found that this antibiotic has fluoride in it. No wonder I felt sick!  I have never had a reaction to any other medications so this was new for me. Within 24 hours of stopping Cipro, I felt like myself again so I knew it was the medication. Fluoride, really?  Can anyone say "Lab Rat". Never again!"


"It helps. Will make you feel better about yourself."


"40mg for Schizoaffective Disorder: Somewhat improved my paranoia, insomnia and intrusive thoughts. However it made my body feel extremely tense and agitated. I can hardly describe how horrendous this feeling was, like every cell in my body was screaming, like I needed to physically explode. I would try to pace around to relieve it, but nothing worked, and I felt exhausted at the same time, so I would lie down, but the feeling was unbearable so I would get right back up again. It was maddening. My pdoc gave me a beta blocker to make it go away, but that didn't work. After a month on this med I just quit it cold turkey as I was terrified of it, felt like I could not handle one more night of feeling that way."


"It turned me into a walking zombie. I couldn't remember anything & I would be in the middle of a sentence and start saying crazy stuff. It wasn't for me."


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


"I've been taking this for a few years and I have severe headaches often along with suffering with low back pain which is constant on my left side and nothing is soothing it. Laying down is excruciating and I'm in the process of running test. This started about 4 months ago and I have been trying to deal with it and hope that it would eventually go away. It's becoming unbearable."


"Acne cleared up but I'm tired of the side effects.  Shortness of breath is the main one, I go up a flight of stairs and I have to give myself a minute before I can speak.  I'm 33 years old 6'2" 200lbs and I exercise so this is totally new to me. I also feel more tired now than ever before. Other side effects I've read about were hair loss, teeth discoloration, yeast infection in women."


"I started Concerta when I was in 7th grade. I am now 14 and I started off with 36mg now I am 54mg at first I had a big boost in my grades! I started getting A's! This year I have been noticing in school that I have been more anxious, depressed, not hungry during the day, and a little bit socially awkward. I am trying to deal with my side effects. I am going to doctor soon about Concerta. You are not alone"


"I work two full-time jobs in Information Technology on a high level at both jobs. I have to be razor sharp or the effects could be catastrophic. I have been using Nuvigil for almost 16 months.

When I was younger I was diagnosed with ADD and took Ritalin which helped but as I got older taking that was not realistic.

Nuvigil has been a godsend.  I am able to articulate my thoughts clearly, finish tasks at hand efficiently and timely, and also having ADD with Nuvigil it almost propels me in some weird microcosm of being smarter than 90% of the people around me. I am not sure how or why but that is my story and I gain nothing from this except hoping to help someone else who is lost in the woods "


"I have been on Nexplanon since March of 2013. I was fine for a few months and then BAM I got a period that lasted for about two months. I was okay with that. It stopped, and now I don't have a period at all. I don't break out, I don't have any real bad side effects except the mood. I am taking Celexa as a mood stabilizer, which helps ENORMOUSLY. Overall, I am very happy with my choice. Its worth it, if you can stick it out."


"Doctor diagnosed me with BV and gave me flagyl prescription: 2/ day 500 mg. I have just completed the fourth day. I noticed the symptoms of BV subside by the second day, and by day four the smell and rash are almost completely gone. I've been eating a lot of yogurt, drinking cranberry juice to deter UTI. I've had very little stomach pain, only after I eat dinner. The main side effect I have felt is a constant slight headache(nothing close to a migraine). I also get very fatigued after completing very simple tasks(I had to take a two hour nap after sorting through some of my clothes to donate). Taste is horrid, but I started gulping it down with a smoothie or coconut water, and that disguises it. Worth taking, despite the side effects."


"Since I was in 10th grade, I've had anxiety and depression. I was placed on Lexapro 10mg, but still had some social anxiety and anxiety about other things. I didn't have as much as before so the doctor increased it to 20mg. I've never felt better. Like others have said, I almost forget I have anxiety. I feel fine everyday and it's the greatest feeling in the world. If anyone is reading this post and is unsure about asking the doctor about help with anxiety, social anxiety, depression, etc, please don't wait. This drug truly saved my life."


"Amazing - gets rid of a full blown migraine in 30 minutes. I call it my miracle pill. I do experience drowsiness and a bit of tightness around my shoulder area, but when it passes (within 30-40 minutes), the migraine is GONE."


"I suffer with chronic insomnia and I tried several OTC sleep aids and finally came across NYTOL EXTRA STRENGTH CAPLETS.  I break it in half and take 1/2 nightly and am asleep within the hour.  I will still sometimes get up at night to pee but am able to fall right back asleep.  I awake feeling refreshed and not drowsy or anything like the other sleep aids left me.  I was concerned about taking them nightly and spoke to my doc who said he would rather I take the NYTOL as opposed to a sleeping pill prescription.  He said NYTOL was just Benedryl and wouldn't hurt me.  I have been taking NYTOL nightly for almost 2 years now and am so glad to have found it!"


"perfect for chronic idiopathic urticaria"


"I went to my ER with severe abdominal pain and found out it was a UTI, Dr prescribed doxycycline 100mg 2x a day and I have only taken two pills, in addition to what I took before I was discharged, the first time I took with food (sausage and mac and cheese) and I was puking and had a headache which I took advil for, second time without food and I still puked. Stopping this med and getting switched asap!!"


"I am on day two of 30mg phentermine. I can already tell it's working, I'm less bloated, my sweets craving is gone and I'm rarely hungry. I tend to have to make myself eat not because I'm hungry but because my body tells me it's time. I was on this medication years ago and lost 30lbs in 3 months. The doctor I am seeing now has no limit as to how long I can or can't be on this medication. The first month is to be focusing on eating habits. I love it so far! can't wait to weigh in and see what it's doing."


"Helps reduce the amount of pain a great deal, without the drugged out effect."


"My pharmacy ran out of Ocella so ordered Nikki and I hate it. I've had my period from nearly two months straight. I forgot to take it one day and the next day I immediately took two pills. By the next day I started spotting and have my period ever since. With the exception of the one day I missed I've been taking it as instructed every day at the same time and still I have yet to stop my period."


"Been on Adzenys since September 2016. Works great.  I have been more focused at work and I'm other less stimulating situations. No side effects. Flavor is good for a ODT. Easy to take and remember"


"Only bad side effect ...it takes all the water out of your intestinal tract so when you go to take a dump it's like squeezing out a very hard dry brick! and it is NO JOKE! I highly advise drink lots of water before hand to lower the effects of this."


"I recently started Zofran 4mg for constant nausea and vomiting due to anxiety and panic disorder, severe emetephobia and gastritis and have had great results. It does cause crippling stomach cramps at times and some constipation but those I can handle. I forever thought of Phenergan as my miracle after taking it for 5 years for a failing gallbladder (its removed now) but Zofran has been so much more effective at stopping the constant nausea and allowing me to eat normally again! I love and keep it with me at all times!"


"I am 23. I have had the Skyla now for the 2nd time.Every birth control is different for everyone, but my experience was amazing. Yes the first 6 weeks you cramp like a regular period and the getting it put in sucks. All in all though its not going to end your life like some people are posting that they pasted out. Thats probably from overwhelming yourself. I would recommend this birth control to anyone that doesnt want to take the pill everyday, has bad periods, mood swings, bad ache, and doesnt want to have childern. It stays local so you dont have the crazy hormone change like the pill and the arm insert give you since it has to go through your whole body. The skyla is right there ready to fight!"


"Indomethacin at the dose of 200mg per 12 hours over a period of 5 days works best for me.  I have tried all doses lower and they have no affect.  Only opiates prescribed immediately will stop the pain in two hours, but doctors do not understand the severe pain gout attacks feel like and are reluctant to give this type of pain killer even though the gout attack is so severe that one cannot do anything but lay in bed with pain.  Unless you have had an attack of gout you have no idea what pain really is."


"I have had cold sore all my life, and usually get them 1-2 times a year until I found Abreva about 8 years ago.  It worked well for me, put it on a soon as i felt the tingle and the sore would never develop .  However the past three times that i had a cold sore it did not help at all.  the really weird thing is that the last three that i got came with no warning.  i would wake up in the morning and boom it is already on my lip and developing.  This one lasted for 8 days, i am planning to talk with my doc about something stronger."


"I have only been taking this medicine for a short while and the benefits are good so far. I am still able to keep working as a Paramedic which is physically demanding. Without my 20mg I slowly turn into a statue."


"I started this med on 12/22/15 and have lost 4.8lbs, without exercise, over Christmas.  I am very happy with the results and expect even more when I get to the gym. (I work 12-16 hour nightshifts 3 days a week and teach 2 days at a local university so this can be an issue. The side effects that I have experienced are constipation, slight dry mouth, slight lightheadedness occasionally, and some stomach issues with pain and cramping that are resolving. I was a carboholic previously and have cut down drastically. I would have a glass of wine with dinner on my nights off and really don't even want that. I was not interested in the desserts that were available over the holidays. I get full quickly and am not hungry at all."


"I had prescribed yasmin to help with cystic acne and hirtuism as I was told I had pcos. It was great at first I lost about 4/5 lbs my skin started to clear (no crazy initial breakout, phew!) Mood improved, sex drive improved, I was travelling in Oz and eating rubbish but I literally started piling on the pounds, I spent most of my time in Oz feeling bloated, heavy and self concious. After that I started to exercise and eat clean for weeks but could not loose a lb. So I quit after 7 months on it. Put on another 5 lbs! After a long 3 months off yasmine and 7 weeks in between periods I started to loose weight! Skin stayed clear with use of epiduo (recommend) 5 months off  and my periods are back to normal and still loosing. Wasn't worth it at all. "


"I have multiple health issues and am very anxious about them. Have been on and off Effexor 75mg twice now (going off when felt better) over 3 years and just started again with anxiety of upcoming surgeries. Going on I experience nausea and can only eat dry biscuits for about 2 weeks. Going off them 1st time no withdrawals...2nd time was suicidal as I stupidly went 'cold turkey' - not recommended.  Pupils dilated and some dizziness and sexual dysfunction (I think due to MS though) otherwise great. Day 4 now and already feeling less 'freaked out' about everything but complete loss of appetite this time  - not a bad thing after the summer indulgence. Have experienced insomnia this time which I had not previously. Female 37."


"So I started taking this medication to help with poison ivy spreading and not being able to sleep because of it. I was prescribed for 5 days on the pill and on my 4th day I woke up to hives all over my stomach and pelvic area. I didn't think it was from the medication so I took it for the last day and it just got worse. It's not been a week and they hives haven't gone down, just got worse and spread more over my body. Really bad reaction and I never get allergic reactions to anything!"


"Am having the runny nose, flu like symptoms, frequent urination and horrible diarrhea. This is the only change that has taken place. I left Flexeril and changed to this. "


"Zithromax was given to my daughter for upper respiratory symptoms 3 days before her flight to Fla to visit grandparents. Within the day noticed a great difference. No side effects and she has a heart condition. My lovely daughter passed her buggies on to me been fighting it for a week. Went to doctor today, gave me the same thing.... Fingers crossed."


"I've suffered with anxiety for years but finally came to a head a few years ago. Had some personal family issues that became overwhelming. I was always mad, sad, frustrated, you name it and that was me. My brain could not stop thinking about my problems. It was very tiring.
 I finally went to the doctor and he prescribed Zolft 25 mg. For the first few days I felt like brain waves going on in my head but no big deal. Within 2 weeks I started feeling happy! A few months later the doctor put me up to 50 mg. I felt the brain waves again for about 48 hours and then stopped. I've been on Zolft for about one year. It was the best thing I could have done for myself. Oh I can still get mad or sad but not as severe or for as long."


"I have Bi-Polar and have been on Latuda for 3 days. Until reading your post, I was going to take myself off.  The irritability is through the roof and right now I am in my manic mode, getting up everyday at 4:00, so lack of sleep doesn't help.  My thoughts are foggy.  But I am giving this medicine 2 weeks, I should know by then. Latuda replaced the Risperdal, I am on 1500 lithium, Klonopin, Prozac, and Vyvanse.  So I hope to feel as good as all of you.  Thanks for your experiences."


"Awful stomach pain that lasted hours. Very small amount of diarrhea. Not worth the pain. I threw the medication away it was that bad. I didn't want to be tempted to take it again.Its really that bad. I wouldn't even bother halving the 25mg tablet. Also the fact that it seems to suck the options out of your body I'm in more pain that before  unfortunately I had taken my morphine before this drug. Stay away from it terrible medication."


"I was prescribed Bactrim for a UTI. Everything was going well on day 1-2, on day 3, mid day, I began with chest tightness, noticed difference in my breathing. Felt as though the end of my lungs/rib area was extremely sore. It sent me to the ER as I was uncertain what could be causing it. CT scans, tests, and 3,000 out of pocket later, no results showed. Which I'm thankful! they eventually chalked it up to the medication. I immediately stopped it and went back to normal after a few days. Weird stuff! I gave it 5 out of 10 because although it was only three days, the bactrim cleared up whatever it was! Potent stuff"


"This medicine  is not for me it swells my face and hands unbelievable"


"Helped knock down MRSA infection, couldn't take full course of antibiotic, due to chest pains and inability to swallow for 3 days.  Horrible pain, then the diarrhea started.  "


"I have had to use Sklice twice now on my 7yr old daughter and it works like a charm!!! I will never buy OTC options AGAIN!!! thank you Sklice, you make having these little buggers a breeze to get rid of!!! Luv, Luv, Luv!!!"


"My experience on Seroquel nearly cost me my job as it turned me into a ZOMBIE!. Since going off the drug I am fully functional. My head is clear and I have energy to do things.

I cannot believe my Dr prescribed me an antipsychotic drug such as seroquel. Colleagues observing me thought I had undergone a major personality disorder. I have been off it for a month now and not missing it one bit."


"I have been taking Seroquel 100mg 3 times daily for several months now and it has not helped me in the least bit. This drug has many negative side effects since being on it I have been feeling extra anxiety, impatient, sore and stiff muscles especially the neck, back, fingers, hand, calves. I have also been having a lot of gas, nightmares are horrible, feel really irritable and often have headaches and jaw pain. The list goes on and if you are feeling this way trust me you are not alone."


"Best decision of my life.

No lasting side effects.

Great product."


"I am 31 and got my second IUD after having the first for 5 years and using the ring for the 2 years after removal. I praised the IUD to anyone who would listen and recommended it without hesitation. That is until I got the second one. I have had it for just over two weeks and discussed having it removed with my husband today. I don't have mood swings, my mood is stuck on grumpy. My feet and hands are swollen with achy joints, tender breasts and lower back pain. The only pro at this point to keep it is the cost efficiency and the zero maintenance for 5 years. However if something doesn't change quick there is no possible way my marriage could handle 5 years of my mood."


"I've tried A LOT of cholesterol-lowering meds, but can't usually tolerate them for more than a month. Unfortunately, Triplix gave me the same side effects--dizziness, digestive miseries, etc. It's probably a wonderful drug for a lot of people, just not for me. I don't know if it made a difference in my cholesterol levels."


"So sick of doctors  telling me to eat right and exercise. My knees are shot and I can barely walk. I finally mustered up the courage to ask my doctor for some real help and he told me about Belviq and prescribed it, said he needs to see if I am a responsive. I am down 35 lbs. No longer have that uncontrollable need to eat non-stop. "


"This medication was used with Pimobenidan (a "miracle drug" hypertension medicine for my dog Cody's heart disease). Made him urinate constantly and made him tired. Went back to the Lasix. This hydrochlorothiazide is easier on his kidneys, but he was feeling bad. Put him back on the Lasix and he's back to himself."


"I have only taken this medication for a week and had to stop. The need to go pee every hour, including at night is keeping me from sleeping and I drive for a living.  After only just a week, I also got a yeast infection and my back is in constant pain.
I am also incredibly thirsty and this medicine is increased my craving for sugary drinks, which I have not drank in years.
The second day on thus medicine,  my blood sugar was 302. This is a number I've never had before.  My blood sugar reads about 200 on a bad day and generally runs 150 average. My week on this medicine,  my average blood sugar reading was 220. Two days after going off, my blood sugar started going down again.  Thus medicine raised my blood,sugar significantly."


"I have Stage 4 colorectal cancer with mets to liver. After 2 years of chemo it wasn't really working any more so they started me on Erbitux. Side effects are mostly cosmetic - severe acne rash/redness on face and milder spotting on chest and back, extremely dry flaky skin. I did have a badly infected foot for a few weeks - eventually found right antibiotic (cephalexin). However CT scan after 8 weeks use showed 20 - 30% reduction in tumors! So for me it is worth the skin hassles."


"Campral has saved my life.  I was not able to stop drinking without it.  My female GP was very understanding and supportive and sought out the best treatment for me.  I am so very thankful.  I am - in a short period of time - a new person.  I have been alcohol dependent for over 20 years.  What I fail to understand is why more people are not lucky enough to have this medicine prescribed for them.  I have had no adverse side effects at all.  Although my prescription is covered by my insuring company, I would have gladly paid the price for the treatment."


"I have taken and tried many contraceptive methods.  I have to say that after all my experiences I can tell you that Aviane has worked great! Normally, I would get migraine headaches and nausea from other pills and/or nuva ring . However, I have not experienced any of that with this pill. The hormone dosage is very low and I think that suits me well, since I seem to be very sensitive to it. I did have some irregular periods, but I take that over debilitating pain of any kind. I recommend this birth control pill, but also suggest you to do some research into the hormone levels in any of them and see if it suits you. At my pharmacy I was given another generic called Lutera, but I didn't take it because it may have slight differences."


"I got my Implanon inserted in August 2010. I thought it would be a great choice for me because I have problems remembering to take a pill everyday. But ever since I have been on it I have had constant bleeding. Biggest problem is that I have gained nearly 30 pounds since I have been on it. I will be getting it taken out next week."


"I've been on Belviq for about a month now.  I can't take anything with a stimulant in it, so Belviq was really the only option for me.

I lost 5 pounds in first week and then nothing the next.  Was starting to get discouraged and then it started to work.  I have fewer cravings and do feel full sooner.  I've lost about 13 pounds and can see the difference in my legs and abdomen.

Primary side effects for me (some of which might have been caused by increase in Metformin at same time) were slight headache in first week (went away), mild diarrhea in first week (also went away), dry mouth/eyes (already had an issue but got worse) and very tired in evenings (falling asleep at 9:30 instead of 11:30) and in mornings (but ok during day)."


"I started taking the pill end of October, I am now on my third week of Loestrin. At first I had minor cramps and breast tenderness which I ignored. Slowly the pill started giving me worst side effects. I gained weight, have major cramps and have been on my period for two weeks.. my normal period lasts 3-4 days. I am not even on the placebo pills yet. I also have major mood swings."


"I was prescribed Drysol by my dermatologist, I was open to try anything because I deal with hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis. You can't use any deodorants with this product so that made me nervous the first application was fine but I was smelly the next day as I couldn't use deodorant. Over the course of a few days it started working more and I was sweating a lot less. However the cons are that this product is so irritating! My skin was raw to the point that when I moved my arms it hurt. You have to apply the solution at bedtime and it was to the point that I couldn't fall asleep due to the pain of the irritation. And this was after I had stopped doing daily applications and was only applying it every 2 to 3 days. overall I wouldn't recommend"


"Taking this medication as prescribed gives back quality of life with in days of first use. The least you take ,the more effective in pain reduction.  For anybody using any opiate for recreational use has no idea what the complications ahead in time. Not only losing everyday enjoyment. BUT revolve around becoming physically dependent (dope sick) on medication day in day  out .  Trust me you don't need the extra stress, NO body that takes this medication prescribed by a doctor, wants to suffer not only from chronic pain but then physically/mental stress that comes with opiate use . I do not work in the medical field , this is all from personal experience. Hope this information helps out in anyway ! CREDAD"
