"I had a monster athletes foot. After four or five days my feet stopped itching and they aren't yellow anymore. I will never buy the dollar store brand of antifungal ever again."


"I have felt sick ever since I started this med as if I have 24 hour flu bug, yet it won't pass? Any suggestions? I'm desperate for help I hate to quit on this since it was so costly."


"I read all of these reviews shortly after I put the egg inside of me and I started to panic. I thought I was going to wake up in the middle of the night to a burning vagina. I didn't.

I had a YI from some antibiotics I've been taking. This definitely helped and it didn't burn at all. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all either. I did it before I went to bed which I recommend, just in case you do have some kind of side effect from it.

woke up this morning feeling good! Hopefully I don't ever get a yeast infection again. but if I do, I will do this again."


"I'm 2 months pregnant and was prescribed clindomycin for a vaginal bacterial infection. Never will I EVER take this pill again. As soon as I took it I got such bad indigestion that I was in tears. I've had heartburn and acid reflux since I was a kid and the pain was NOTHING like this. It feels like there is a burning hot rod lodged in my chest and the pain takes hours to go away. I had to deal with this pain twice a day for two weeks. Do NOT take this medication if you have any other choice."


"I'm seventeen and have been using Epiduo for about seven weeks. Ever since sixth grade, I've had enough acne to make me feel uncomfortable and cry at the sight of my skin with no make up. I apply Epiduo every night after my shower and have been very pleased with my results. At first, like everyone mentioned, it burned and dried out my skin (especially around my lips). However it wasn't bad enough for me to have to use a moisturizer. Avoid putting the gel around your eyes because that's where it burned the most. The burning and the dryness don't last long and are totally worth it. My skin is almost clear and my scars have even faded thanks to Epiduo. I strongly recommend this product."


"I'm blown away by the bad reviews. However I fully believe every birth control affects people differently. This pill changed my life. I've had bad endo since I was 13. I'm 32 now. Bleeding to the point of not being able to leave the house and pain to the point a bottle of vodka was the only fix. Since I started this pill 2 years ago I haven't had a single period. No cramps! I still bloat near the end of my pack but not bad at all. No acne. Only negative side affect I think is slight unusual nausea but coming from awful endometriosis, it seriously doesn't even bug me. When I started it took a month for break through bleeding to stop. Body had to get used to it."


"So I haven't had a BM in 5 days.  Being a nurse, I went through the usual motions of trying to accomplish one, but to no avail.  I started getting frustrated and decided to step my game up.  I used stool softeners, suppositories, milk of mag....and nothing.  I was dreading the thought of a visit to my Doc so I tried Mag Citrate.  This is generally what I give a patient for bowel prep or as a last resort for severe constipation.  I picked up some grape flavored Mag Citrate from CVS last night.  I went conservative and consumed 5oz of the 10oz bottle.  By 8:00am this morning....nothing.  But, I was starting to experience some gurgling in my bowels.  I commenced with drinking 12oz of coffee and another 8oz of water.  Bingo, we have action."


"Well, it has been about 12 days since I have taken my first shot of Simponi. I started on Saturday, August 29, 2009. I also stopped taking prednisone that day. I feel real good. I go to the Doctor on the 23rd of September. I would like to start cutting back on the methotrexate. I will update next month.  "


"Colonoscopy today. Propofol is awesome! Best sleep I have had in years, except not long enough... It is truly the way to go if possible."


"I've been using Epiduo for 2 months. Within the first couple days, I started to notice a huge change. For the past 2 years, I have had severe acne. I use epiduo and cetaphil cleanser. However, I've been noticing that my face is getting completely worse than before and now my forehead (which was super clear before epiduo and cetaphil) is now breaking out in bumps all over. Epiduo is really great... only within those first couple weeks though."


"I have been using Lodrane for many years. I am outraged at it being pulled from the market with nothing to replace it. "


"Discover the problem on the Friday morning went straight to the clinic and they gave me 1000 mg of this medicine by Sunday afternoon it was all cleared up ....wicked diarrhoea and it felt like I had the flu for most of the day on Friday but it's well worth the treatment"


"For the love of God do NOT use this!!! I am Traumatized! Horrific experience. Followed directions exactly, put in the cream at bedtime which was about 10 PM. Woke up a little after 3 AM due to severe burning, itching, swelling and pain. IT WOKE ME UP FROM A DEEP SLEEP. Felt like I had put lava in my vagina after scrubbing it with a brillo pad. Swollen shut, 2x it's regular size at least. Tried rinsing & washing, benadryl by mouth & an ice pack to the vag for 5 hours. I thought I was allergic until I read so many others reviews. This could be used as a very effective form of torture. I'm a registered nurse & I feel this should be yanked off the counter due to its severe side effects. I'm scarred for life. NEVER AGAIN"


"I'm 20 and I had problems urinating for days and went to the hospital for back and abdominal pain as well but they couldn't find anything wrong. After going through 2 more doctors one suggested quickly looking at my prostate and I had acute prostitis. Took cipro that night and have never felt worse. Within 2 hours I couldn't eat, everything I did made me want to throw up, and all I could do was lie in my bed in a ball. Went to the doctor again and he prescribed Bactrium since it's easier on nausea. The nausea has gone down a little but cipro stays in your system for 48 hours so still feel awful, will never be able to take it again."


"Initially, my doctor started me out on 20mg, but increased the dosage to 30mg after I complained of occassional bouts of anxiety.  I started the medication about six months ago.  I'm 23 and not on any additional medication.  Now, I feel like I can balance college, family and work.  I'm not experiencing anxiety and panic attacks like I was prior to the Prozac.  The first three weeks of the medication involved sick feelings, but I'm glad that I stuck with it.  I also started to visit with a psychologist once a month. This has been very beneficial.  Makes me wonder why I struggled with this for years before getting help."


"I took Wellbutrin at first to quit smoking. This was last year. It really did help me quit smoking and that was great. I have to say DO NOT DRINK ON WELLBUTRIN because it made me black out and huge problems from this. After my bad experience drinking on Wellbutrin I stopped taking it. After reading these reviews again I have decided to get back on it and this time around I wont have a problem seeing as I quit drinking completely. I have been in denial for a ling time but I do suffer from severe depression and weight problems and I am praying that this time around I can stick to it and turn my life around. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories they are very inspiring!

"


"This was the by far the best antidepressant for my mood, but I developed symptoms that took 8 months to figure out was definitely the med. Tachycardia + high blood pressure led to 2 hospital trips. Then coccyx pain which at first made it nearly impossible to sit for any length of time, which spread to my hips and groin and moved down my legs until I could barely walk even with a cane (I'm 35 and prior to this speed walking everywhere). Spend $100s on physio. Nerve pain in legs which made even light touch painful, a little in arms which felt like tendinitis. Gained 30lbs due to inability to exercise. Took 2 months to mostly walk again, but now able to walk at a slow pace without cane but stiffness remains in hot spots, will recover fully."


"Drixoral really worked for me and now I can't buy it anymore.  This is what happened to the 12-hour Contact time release capsules which also worked great and now can't be purchased."


"I've been on all kinds of birth control since having my son 21 years ago. I got on Trinessa cause my current insurance doesn't cover for the Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo I was on before. I'm almost 40 and have had a problem with acne my whole life, even while being on the Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo. Well I am VERY happy with Trinessa because my face has cleared up & looks beautiful for the 1st time in my life! My periods only last 4 days which is awesome. So far I've been on Trinessa almost a year & will definitely continue it."


"I have been on generic wellbutrin XL 150mg for about a month and a half now. All I can say is that it is an interesting drug. I didn't want to really go on it because, while I have depression, it is not that bad. I was hoping to get on something to help my anxiety because that is way worse. Well the first 3 weeks I was on it were fine. I felt a little bit more energy and libido and no side effects. Then all of a sudden from week 3-4 I got extremely anxious, stressed, and angry. Everything made me angry. I can happily say that those side effects have passed and I now have none. These last 2  weeks have been great. Tons of energy and drive. Love cleaning now for some reason and I used to hate it."

"I have been on contrave for about 3 weeks. I am still unable to take the full dose (4 pills a day), but I am seeing wonderful results. I have hypothyroidism and it has been really difficult for me to get rid of the weight. My doctor decided to put me on this medication and I have mixed emotions about it. I have felt foggy and dizzy and some days I am moody. I find that small things bug me. That is starting to go away. I only take 2 in the morning and one in the evening. So far I have lost 10lbs. It is like every morning I get on the scale and another pound is gone. I can't eat as much because it will upset my stomach. Other than the side effect for the first 2 weeks, things seem to be working for me. Also it is helping me not to smoke."


"I have been on OTCL for 4 months. The first couple of months I had several bad mood swings, but those have improved. I still experience irratibility and nausea daily and have gained 5 lbs. I feel bloated often and less energetic. My sex drive hasn't decreased much, my periods are light and predictable, and I haven't become pregnant. I get moderate breakouts and this medication hasn't had any effect on those either way. I've tried worse, but I definitely don't feel as good as when I'm not on birth control."


"Well, I was stupid enough to give cipro a chance to get into my system. 5-10 mins after taking a 500mg tablet of cipro, I started running to the bathroom because my eyes are so watery, til it went red, and then became swollen, a few moments I started sneezing non-stop!!!! And then my nose got clogged, I was able to find rashes in my skin, and most, it was very difficult breathe!! Had my boyfriend to take me to the hospital. My advice would be a big no no. Don't take cipro"


"I'm 19 years old. I've been struggling with cystic acne for about a year and a half now; my problem area being my cheeks . I've been on tri-sprintec for a little over a month.. Can't say I've seen any drastic changes but I feel like it's slowly taking effect (or I just might be desperate for results). I know they say it's 2-3 months for results so I'm remaining hopeful. The only downside I've noticed while taking this pill is that It might've made me break out under and around my jawline which was new for me. Also, I snack way too often now which might be making my breakouts a little excessive when that time of the month comes around."


"All opiates make me sick so I have to take promethazine with them.  Also the only thing that stopped my morning sickness."


"I have taken this medication for over 5 years to help me stay awake due to a narcolepsy diagnosis.  The drug is very effective and I have not become addicted in anyway although I have developed a tolerance to the medication and have had to increase my dosage to now the highest amount available and now will most likely have to change to another medication.  The side effects have also increased including mood swings and and feelings of depression when the drug wears off and now I am convinced that it is time to switch medications.  Even with these increased side effects, without this drug I wouldn't have been able to function as a normal human being and I am now nervous that I won't be able to find another medication that was this effective."


"Haven't had a migraine since I started this treatment!"


"Traditional sleep aids (Ambien etc.) did not work for me, and I have been using Seroquel for several years with great success, and no side effects. However, since Seroquel is not FDA approved for insomnia, I am having difficulty getting approval for an individual health insurance policy."


"I've had acne for about 8 years. Last year it suddenly deteriorated into severe nodular cystic acne. I started Accutane in September 2016, I'm nearly finished my sixth month and I still have the same nodules and cysts that I had at beginning of the treatment, I'm still breaking out the same as before. Accutane is effective for 96% of people whilst they're on it, so I'm not bashing Accutane, it's an amazing drug for the majority of people. I'm obviously an exception and I'm devastated."


"I got my nexplanon inserted on 10/27/2014, and was really excited about it. I did not have any adverse reactions at first, but after 2 months I started having very irregular periods. I would begin my period which would last about ten days and then 5 days later I would have it again. Sometimes this pattern was followed by 2 months of no period or I would be bleeding again five to ten days after just having my period. The worst part of this birth control was by far the weight gain. After one year of having this in my body I gained a total of 35 pounds. I have always been pretty consistent with maintaining my weight and losing it when trying, but I could NOT lose it. I now have stretch marks on my stomach from NOT being pregnant......"


"I have an unusual type of Tempro Mandibular Joint Disorder that doesn't cause much joint pain, but limits my jaw movement and causes a lot of facial tension/muscle soreness and headaches. I was prescribed Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) with the knowledge that it would not help my primary symptom (limited jaw range) since this was caused by a joint problem, not a muscle one. However, taking cyclobenzaprine significantly reduced my facial tension and headaches, so I definitely found that this medicine helped my TMJ. It might not help, but it's definitely worth a try if your doctor suggests it. I also found side effects to be very minimal."


"Developed a severe stomachache six days after starting so stopped taking pending call to my doctor. Feels like a severe cramp."


"The Necon 1/35 works great for my endometrieosis . In conjunction with the laparoscopy that I had it has really kept the severe pains away. Now all I feel during menstruation is discomfort. And my periods are extremely light. No more heavy pads and 7 day long cycles. My cycles have been longest 3 days and only require a liner.

On the negative side..... I HAD clear porcelain skin. From the very first day of the pill I began getting 3 little bumps between my eyes. After 3 months my face looks like a pizza pie with every single topping on it. I have a breakout on every section of my face.

Like another reviewer stated, I also gained 10lbs. But like her I am (was) underweight so I definitely don't mind."


"I had Skyla inserted 1 year ago. The first month, my belly was bloated, but it went down after. The insertion did not hurt me at all. I have one child, so I don't know if this is related or not. I like not having to worry about getting pregnant. I forget I have a IUD. My only issue is that I get regular blood spot outside of my cycle and that is not convenient as I basically lost half of my underwear collection, and not cool for my sex life. No one wants to have blood spots coming out of nowhere during sex! So that is really what concerns me the most about it, so I will schedule an appointment with gyno asap to know if it is normal. I did not have any other side effects, so I am happy with it."


"I took 10 mg of Bentyl, even though my doc said to take 20mg. Yes, it took care of the abdominal cramps, but I got a bad headache, dry mouth and eyes, & dizziness. I also got pain in my thigh and tingling in the same leg where I have nerve issues because of a herniated disc. This also caused neck pain where I have nerve issues as I took only 5 mg 20 hrs later when I could feel the cramping coming back. The side effects were there, but to a lesser degree. The most disturbing side effect was my heart rate dropped to 45;  it's usually in the low 60's, and blood pressure went up. Not sure I can continue on this medication, perhaps only when I feel cramping coming on and no more than 5 mg."


"Had Diprivan for a colonoscopy. Woke up feeding normal without any drowsiness. Highly recommend."


"Estring makes a huge difference in my life. It restored my ability to have normal sex (win!), with no pain and with normal lubrication.  I've used it for 2+ years. The first few months my weight went up 10+ lbs and I've been unable to lose weight.  It is worth getting used to a new normal weight for me to feel  normal again.

I have a false advertising complaint against Estring. Their Coupon says in large letters, "Pay no more than $15 for your ESTRING prescription."  The very fine print says. "savings are limited to $100 for each of 4 uses," meaning you only save $100 for each Rx, but this Rx is VERY expensive, so no one pays $15, but usually much more. Still some savings are better than none."


"Unfortunately after more than a year, pervasive stuff like weight gain, increased lipids, diabetes all started to be present. Great for a while but I started toned more of it to deal with psychotic symptoms and the sedative nature of it got in the way. Swapped to paliperidone ER, which is more focused on the psychotic symptoms and doing well without the sedation."


"Well, it did what it was supposed to, but tastes so bad.  I got through the 1st liter ok.  I gulped it down.  Bowels were moving about an hour after the first 8 oz.  I had to drink a second liter several hours later and just couldn't do it.  The taste is that bad.  I threw up probably half a liter of it.  Anyway, it cleaned out the bowels."


"I was given my first injection with Eligard on December 1st 2010. I started to have bone pain a little before this and a PSA of 116. It took control in about 2 days and the pain went. As I decided to wait until the pain returned (to see how long it would last) I had to have another one 6 1/2 months later. My PSA dropped to 0.17 the first time and 2.6 the second (where it is now). I will take a 3rd one in 5 months time and see if it goes beyond the 4 months for the 30mg to have effect. The date is 8th December 2011 and the 3rd one is due in March 2012."


"I've had psoriasis, and some psoriatic arthritis since I was 12, I'm 40 now. I had 95% body coverage, and started taking Stelara as one of the first trial patients in Canada in early 2009...what a difference. No more throbbing knees, and I hover between 5 - 10% coverage now, it was at 0% for a couple of years but I had an injury and gained a bunch of weight, so that is why it's up now (maybe 3 kids doesn't help either ;-). The only issues I have are the price (thankfully it's covered), and the fact that I am more susceptible to colds and flu, and will get sunburn easily if I don't watch out."


"My biggest issue on this pill was the mood swings and irritability.  I was ALWAYS on edge and felt angry for no reason (to the point that I questioned why me and my fiancé were even getting married if I was so annoyed with him being around all the time).  Within 3 days of being off this birth control pill, I feel 100x better. I'm genuinely happy and like myself again.

I had severe cramping right before my period (gut wrenching pain). My period were light and only lasted 2-3 days.

I had a little bit of water retention, but didn't notice much weight gain.

I, personally, would never ever use this brand again (to be honest, me and my fiancé are just using condoms for now and I feel so good not being on the pill at all)"


"I have taken Kariva for about 6 months and my boobs have gone from an A cup to a D cup, which is alarming. I have pregnancy like symptoms very often, but I'm not pregnant. Overall this birth control made me extremely moody and gain crazy weight."


"This is my 2nd series and the 1st lasted almost exactly 6 months until the pain

cam back in my left knee. Today I had my 3rd shot in this series and the injection itself caused me considerable pain. Several hours later it still doesn't feel great."


"Hello everyone! I served 8 years in the united states military 4 overseas and 4 in the U.S. I left the military 100% disabled diagnosed with Panic disorder with agoraphobia, GAD, Major Depression and of course some PTSD. I have tried everything. I was put on lyrica for nerve damage originally but found it soooo helpful for crippling anxiety. But this does not last long tolerance builds so fast its unreal and it almost feels as if the anxiety gets worst over time. I have tried to stop this cold turkey but found my self in a state of BENZO and OPIATE withdrawal feeling and it was a nightmare. Now I'm weaning! Bye lyrica..OH ya klonopin works wonders ;)."


"I am from Canada, 24 year old female. I have always been a worrier but first experienced anxiety in my 4th year at University 3 years ago, I had a panic attack which then turned into panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Effexor is a GREAT medication for me, my dose was raised way to quickly at the beginning, I went from 75mg to 150mg to 225mg in a month and a half and got horrible Effexor induced anxiety but when my GP realized what was going on she put me back to 75mg and then very slowly put me up to 112.5mg and I have been there for 2 months now and I think it is the perfect dose for me. I don't have intrusive thoughts or panic sensations. Be patient, it's worth it!"


"Battled bacterial vaginitis for years before I found out about Tindamax. It worked wonders my first round of it 4 pills 2 days. I got it again a year later and this time ...side effects kicked in big time. My fingers were sore, severe muscle aches, red inflamed spots on my chest, fever and headaches. It lasted 1 whole day but the bacterial vaginitis was gone and haven't had it since but it gave me a yeast infection."


"I've had chronic constipation since I was a child. Diet, exercise, water, fiber supplements, medications, Miralax; nothing helped. I was taking Ex-Lax and Duralax 1-2 times a week to clear myself out, designating "laxative days" because they would take so long to take effect. I suffered from previous impactions, enemas, colonoscopies, seen multiple gastroenterologists; until I found my current doctor who prescribed a Linzess, Miralax combination. It took a little tweaking to get to the right dosage for me but it worked right away. I had never known what it was like to have even semi-weekly bowel movements, let alone daily! It generally takes about 2 hours to work and then I have my whole day ahead. LOVE IT"


"It's totally waste of money and 100% useless , ocean nasal spay ( sodium chloride nasal spay ) work way better and no side effect or bad taste , it's like spraying deodorant in your nose to make you fell better but technically it doesn't work . Again I got sodium chloride nasal spray for 1.85$ and it work way better and life saving"


"I have severe RA plus Psoriatic Arthritis plus Asthma plus osteoarthritis plus osteoporosis and I just turned 60. I have severe allergies to anti inflammatories and have had my RA for 30 years. Right now I am on Humara ( can't take methotrexate) and have been for 10 years. Humara really helped at one time but just doesn't work for me anymore. I am in an intense flair that just won't stop we tried Xeljan but my sensitive stomach said no more. I was glad to use the Humara even if I did hold my breath when it came to side effects, nothing major happened but I miss my thick hair."


"I want to share my experience to calm some of you women down that are scared to take this medicine. Lets start by saying I have a medication phobia. I'm always assuming the worst is going to happen when I start a new medication. I'm the biggest hypochondriac. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this.... I stared at this medication for 3 months before I finally took it because of the bad reviews I read. They kept making me procrastinate on taking it. My doctor prescribed me 500 mg of metronidazole twice daily for seven days. I finally got the nerve to take it. The first day I had a TINY bit of nausea and after that no side effects at all! By day three my symptoms were gone! So I'm now on day four and everything is still good with no side effects."


"I've been on different types of medication for pain even Tylenol 3 and that still don't do anything"


"I was constantly struggling to stay awake (sometimes when driving too) and I'm pretty sure I almost lost my new job (started in 02/2009) before training ended. I'm also sure that they doubted I'd be very effective on the phones after training. Also, at the end of training, we had to make an 85% on the final exam to continue to be employed there and I'm sure they thought I would fail. Right before the exam, I quit taking Lyrica, which decreased the severity of the sleep narcolepsy, but didn't eliminate it. Vyvanse has greatly improved my effectiveness at work and I even got a promotion less than 3 weeks after I began taking it! I've had basically no side effects and now with not having to fight to stay awake, Vyvanse relieves a lot of stress and anxiety!"


"Singulair has been a blessing for my asthma.  However when I was switched to the generic, in October, all of my asthma symptoms came back.  Wheezing, shortness of breath, use of inhaler (which I only used prior to exercise) several times a day.  My doctor has written me a prescription for brand Singulair.  The pharmacy gave me the three pills they had in stock and ordered the rest to come in tomorrow.  I did the same thing a few weeks ago with another pharmacy and their distributor no longer carries the brand.  Hopefully this will not happen again tomorrow and I can go back on the brand Singulair.  Since the problem with the generic I have been on Prednisone, Symbicort and two nasal spray to try and get my asthma under control."


"Use flushable wipes EVERY TIME and it will be 95% Better. Using TP is burning,terrible build up! Happy Trails!"


"Stopped my cough and I was able to sleep.   But I was awakened a couple of times during the night with a severe diarrhea accident. I don't think I'll take again for that reason.  The diarrhea past in about 12 hours."


"This medicine "helps"...it is not a cure-all. My biggest side effect is I CAN'T SLEEP...Thankfully this passes after a few weeks. Overall, I have found this medicine to be helpful."


"This product is so effective.  It gives me a good night sleep."


"I am usually against medicine to mask pain. I never really liked pain medicine. It was a muscle relaxer I took a few years ago that I believed led to my crooked neck and back. It sounds small, I'm sure everyone has had back pain. But I am 24 years old and wasn't living the life all my friends were, because pain factored into everything, ruining everything. I got depressed. I tried everything. I tried EVERYTHING. I am going to a chiropractor now hoping that helps. I still needed something to get me through all my days. I used to wake up in pain and just lay back down and cry. Now I can take Vicoprofen and it drastically helps more than anything. I would recommend this."


"I have C-PTSD and have had terrible insomnia since I was 12 years old (I'm now 28), and Trazodone has been a true life saver for me.  It's hard to cope with the PTSD-related flashbacks and anxiety in general, but everything was a million times worse when I could not sleep.  I've been taking trazodone for about 3 years now and I am still amazed at what it feels like to actually sleep through the night and wake up feeling well rested and clearheaded.  I'd been on dozens of other drugs and this is the only one that helped me to sleep and it makes me feel able to cope with the rest of my problems.  It has been a miracle drug for me."


"I have used Prozac (gained a lot of weight)  Now I am on a combination of Wellbutrin and Cymbalta.  What a difference.  No foggy brain.  My emotions are back.  Don't feel like a zombie any more.  Feel a little dizzy at times, but the benefits outweigh the side effects.  I lost 10 kg !!!  Look and feel great.  Will stay on this combination.  Great for depression."


"This medicine changed my life. I've suffered from social anxiety for 20 years and always afraid to ask for help,  until one wedding anniversary with my husband at a restaurant was to much for me. I was uncomfortable and major anxiety just eating in a restaurant and I was tired of feeling like this. The next day I told my doctor I needed help, he gave me lexapro and my life has changed. I'm loving life again and nothing is holding me back. I'm so grateful I asked for help"


"I have just a few days left from my first pack. I've tried almost everything, other pills, patch, depo, ring and this is by far the best BC for me. I've had no side effects!!! Best of all no spotting. I got my period yesterday and it's so light. I am getting the Mirena IUD next week because I'm a busy mom of 2 and don't like having to remember to take the pill every day at the same time but if the IUD doesn't work out I will for sure being going back to Sprintec :)"


"So after my experience with the mirena (awful and created so many bad side effects) I took this out and a few months later replaced with with the paragard iud "no hormones". garbage.. With this IUD, the panic attacks became more frequent and I've never had a panic attack until I got an IUD in. I had very bad periods, and cramps, when I got it taken out (mid June) I got my period in July and it was horrible. I felt like my body definitely cleaned itself out, but I lost a lot of blood. I've been experiencing more headaches as well and that has never happened to me. I also had a lot of infections because of it and bad discharge from it and now that it's taken out no odor, no discharge. Birth control
Sucks.. use condoms."


"Lortab has worked alright for me to ease very severe pain caused by misaligned verterbrae or insufferable toothache. Unfortunately it also has a very significant habit to give me hallucinations, not visual ones, but audible. I wake up in the middle of the night hearing things that are impossible, such as if I was standing in the middle of the highway at rush hour (worst case) or all the 'normal' sounds in a house seemingly tenfold magnified and loud."


"I am a cancer patient and take strong pain meds. One night I had accidently taken other sensitive type meds and possibly second dose of narcotic pain meds. My daughter called an ambulance when she couldn't keep me awake. When I got to ER, my pulse was 30 and dropping at time as low as 20. I could of and probably should of gone into cardiac arrest. I was administered this medicine and it literally saved my life. I have been battling a terminal but treatable cancer for 3 years, Multiple Myeloma. I fight everyday to stay healthy so I can be here for my kids and grandkids. I don't want to lose my life over something avoidable like an accidental overdose!"


"I have had restless legs syndrome for years due to iron deficiency. I took Sinemet for about a year and it seemed to work great for me. However, I could not take the full or even half of the dose because it really made me feel drowzy the following day so I would break it up and take a very small piece of the pill. Also, if you don't go to bed after taking it and stay up for a while, it can have the adverse effect on you. Makes you really sleepy, but make your restless legs symptoms worse. Good Luck!"


"I had nexplanon inserted September of 2015. I bled (mild to moderate) almost daily for nearly 3 months. By December my periods would come monthly, but they last for almost 2 weeks. The only plus side is minimal cramping. I've been constantly exhausted, have gained 10 lbs, and have no sex drive whatsoever. It has completely killed my sex life- not to mention the fact that I have been getting recurrent vaginitis since starting it. I promised myself I would give it 6 months and I'm counting the days until I have it removed. I guess the plus side is that I have not gotten pregnant, but maybe it's because I never have sex anymore because of it!"


"I've been on a vicious cycle of UTI and yeast infections since November and the past 2 weeks have been place on 3 different antibiotics. I woke up yesterday with bladder and back pain and was prescribed this medication. I've taken it twice now and my back pain is worse than ever."


"I've been taking Effexor for about 20 months and it's my MIRACLE! I'm 34 and began taking an medicines since I was 18. I tried Paxil, Zoloft, Buspar, Wellbutrin and finally Effexor. I am so genuinely happy and jubilant I just can't believe it. I'm sure part of it is maturity, life experience and such but WOW. I plan to continue taking it forever as my anxiety is not situational as in some cases. I have a chemical imbalance that will require a medicine forever so this is the one! I've never bee happier!"


"I have take 25mg twice a day or once a day with good relief. Twice a day is better. As soon as I stop it I get slight panic, but I also feel like I'm not able to concentrate when people are talking. It's a strange feeling and then I get pain in my left ribs, under my arms and left upper back. Then I wonder if I'm going to faint or have a heart attack. It's a constant roller-coaster of high and low adrenaline. A small dose of beta blocker worked well for anxiety, but when you are sick, you need a little adrenaline to combat inflammation. It's an awful balancing act."


"Felt terrible on synthetic t4. Switched to Dessicated and instantly improved.
Now I would like to try LDN to see if it can normalise my immune system (reduce antibodies),  instead of bandaiding the problem.  I fear I will have to battle with the Doctors and Endocrine again about what I think might be best for me. Worth a shot I think."


"Had to start with 50 mgs per day. It made me sleep 36 hours when I tried taking 100 mgs. Also gave me bad breath and I could barely talk. Seemed to detox something in my throat. When the bad breath stopped I upped it to 100 mgs. More detox. Now I take 100 mgs four times per day. Doesn't make me sleepy, and the headache symptoms are much better. I am a person who avoids prescription drugs as much as possible and rarely go to the doctor. Gabapentin is the only drug I am taking. I am 61. It is really helping me with the debilitating migraine headache. Just be careful and don't take too much, or you will have to go to bed. And take it regularly. I think it's a good drug.
Gave me weird dreams at first but I think that was a detox effect too."


"I was put on Viibryd for depression. My husband and I had a miscarriage and I became depressed and suicidal. That was my breaking point. My doctor put me on Viibryd and at first it helped wonderful. I have been on the 40 mg for 5 months now. I have headaches almost everyday, have gotten light headed a few times one day but my depression did get a lot better."


"Had feeling in my lower abdomen and scrotal/testicle area like I'd took a blow but I hadn't. Went to docs after a few days as pain wasn't getting any better. She prescribed trimethoprim for a UTI. Took it for four days and the pain didn't get better. Over the weekend pain and sensitivity around penis, scrotum, testicles, perineal area and my back got significantly worse. Went to docs on the Monday. He said it's epididymitis. Prescribed me Ciprofloxacin to take 2 a day for one week. I  saw dramatic improvement with first 1 or 2 tablets. I was able to sit down and was no longer in constant pain and I could enjoy life again. I still have some sensitivity but I imagine the swelling will go give another week. This drug works quickly and very well."


"It worked for about a month. 10 mg,  then seemed all of a sudden stopped working. "


"Been on it for almost 4 months. Depression not much better. Severe appetite increase, irritability, and very itchy skin. Going to see my psychiatrist next week to change again..."


"This is my first time ever trying adipex. Today 2/28/16 was my start day n I took 1 pill around 7:00am n I'm usually not a breakfast person bout I was told to at least eat something so I ate yogurt.....I am 27, 5'3 n my start weight is 247.4, a size 18 or 2x-3x . My startup goal is to at least lose 30lbs.  And get down to 14-16. I plan on dieting, trying to eat healthier at least a 1200 calories, and I'm trying the lean shakes I plan on going to the gym/walking the track Mon-Friday. And doing home excercises on weekends....this is my first time ever dieting n trying to lose weight....I am doing this to feel better about myself...I am looking forward to this weight lose journey n with motivation n determination I know I can do it.weighin update Sunday"


"The first two weeks I had general numbness of my whole face, tried to take a sip of soda and everyone thought I was overreacting to how disgusting it tasted. I also had terrible pins and needles in my feet that woke me up in the middle of the night. That has gone away now but when they upped my dose I discovered now that I am having severe joint pain in my knees and have been unable to function regularly at my job which I was very good at before. I forget stuff very easily, which I didn't know is a side effect but I saw others here stated the same.  I still give it a 10 because despite the side effects it beats the alternative because I have not had a headache since I started the medication and my eyes get better everyday."


"I have had diarrhea every morning with pain.  After reading about gall bladder removal I found that some try Welchol to help because it is a bile sequestor.  It works great for me.
I went to a gastroenterologist and told him about my findings and he said "Congratulations" you diagnosed yourself.  He gave me a years prescription for Welchol.  I take three in the morning and am doing quite well.  Wish I had known about this several years ago.  Before Welchol I could barely leave my home before noon.  Now I can travel again.  So far, no side effects. Thank Goodness."


"This medication has side affects just like all medications do.
However, this was prescribed for Anxiety and Depression and does not work well for me.  Doctor increased the dose, and it makes you so sleepy you must take it at night, but still does not relieve anxiety."


"I have been on Elavil for depression for 20 years. I did have some problem with not remembering that I had told someone something already. This has gotten better as I made a conscious effort to remember things. I still have some problems with memory in forgetting where I put things. The best thing that happened is I have not had a headache in 20 years. I used to have bad headaches 2-3 times a week so this has been well worth putting up with side-effects."


"I love this birth control. It's the only one I've been on, so I can't compare it to others, but I've been on it for about 4 or 5 years. My fiance and I don't use condoms or any other back up method and I have never been pregnant. I didn't have any weight gain and it cleared up acne. I love it and will stay on this until we decide to have children."


"I have taken Tri Sprintec for 2 months and I refuse to start the third month. It makes me terribly nauseous, to the point where I will throw up about 4 times a day. (it happened so often I thought I was actually pregnant, which I am not). I have never been a sad person but since I started taking this pill I have been extremely depressed and have had terrible mood swings. It also causes tenderness of my boobs that I've never felt before and is extremely uncomfortable. Everyone's bodies are different but I had a horrible experience with this pill."


"I've been on this pill for 2 years and the only negative side effects are my boobs grew a cup size (Many women would love this!) and my hair was dry and would break off for the first few months.  Also the first two months my periods were SO heavy, but I decided to give it a little time and I'm glad I did!

The positives are great.  Very little cramping compared to the cramps I had before I got on BC...thank God!!!  Also, periods are only 4 days and I know exactly what day I will start each month.  No weight gain which I am happy about.  Tried a different pill a few years ago and blew up like a balloon!  Overall, this is a great choice!"


"I have used Exforge for 3 weeks now and found that I have nausea and unpredictable sweating that is starting to really bother me."


"I got the Nexplanon implant on April 30, 2016 with no pain at all. The next week I begin to cry about everything, I was so sad. I never have problems with depression before the Nexplanon. I started blowing up about everything and my cycle hasn't stop. It's very light but still I want it to end. My Dr. wanted me to keep it for 4 months and I'm thinking about getting it removed. I'm 36 and this is my first time being on any type of birth control. And this experience has been awful."


"Giving this medicine to my 1 yr old and has had nothing but diarrhea and a tore up bottom.  "


"I had hives for 3 weeks and I was completely miserable! I was put on steroids for 3 days and they came back as soon as I quit them.  I was taking Benadryl everyday and was still so itchy. About ready to go nuts I researched and researched things to try.  Into week 3 with the hives I started taking Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 and drinking green tea everyday.  Took a Zyrtec one morning and my hives were cleared by evening. I have been taking 1 a day for 3 days now and I'm hive free..feeling great."


"I've been dealing with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for about 7 or 8 years now, with the severity increasing greatly about three years ago. I lost my job after a year because I missed so many days due to flare-ups where I couldn't move. My flare-ups got so bad that I was vomiting blood from the pain, and on more than one occasion, had to go to the ER for morphine simply to take the edge off the pain after hours of throwing up blood. Bentyl is the only medicine to this day to help in any way, shape, or form. I started out taking one pill during flare-ups which would help in about 15 minutes. Now, depending on the severity of my flare up, I take two to three pills & it takes about 30-45 minutes to become effective. "


"On this medicine my infection (sinus) got worse before it got better, but it did do the job."


"I am finishing my second month of Loestrin and like it overall.  I was on Lo Loestrin for 2 months and it was not working out (breakthrough bleeding, cramping, bloating), so my doctor switched me to this pill.  I still have had breakthrough bleeding (more like just spotting) for the last two weeks of every month, but the "period" at the end is practically nonexistent with no cramps, which is great.  I have noticed a bit of water retention, but nothing green tea and extra water can't solve. I've also had some occasional nausea, but nothing too bad, and it passes quickly.  And I've gained 1/2 a cup size.  Overall I'll stick with this pill and hope the spotting goes away in the next few months because that's my only real complaint. "


"I took the depo shot may 2015 only because the clinic pms suggested it and said it was covered by insurance and you wouldn't have to pay 9 dollars a month for the prescription of birth control. I was like sure this is alright and I took it while I was on my period, after I took it it ended  immediately and for the first month I was fine and didn't have to worry, then I started to get the light spotting and looked up and said it was normal for a bit of spotting, after a week it stopped for a day and then went full flow until now October 2015 and it stops for a day and comes back full force every now and then. I only took the shot once and they said it would last for 3 months I don't know what to do"


"I've had Nexplanon for 14 months and i don't think it works with my body. The insertion was painless and I like how I don't have to worry about taking a daily pill. However, since I started Nexplanon, my body has reacted as such: 1) my periods last for about 23 days or more when on my former birth control, they lasted only 3 days 2) My face breaks out during my cycle, which didn't happen on my former BC 3) I never got cramps during my natural menstrual cycle or on my former birth control, but I get cramps on Nexplanon; during certain times I would cramp after orgasming oh, and it lowered my sex drive. 4) on the plus side, my breasts would get bigger and fuller for a few days. All in all, I think I will switch back to my old BC, Nuva Ring."


"This medicine is supposed to stop urinary leakage but that is not working for me. I rate it 2 out of 10 because it seems to help a little bit."


"Sometimes it works and...sometimes it doesn't. The effects are not as obvious to me as prescription medications. 6 mg seems to be my sweet spot; any more and it has no effect. I try taking it when I know my sleep schedule needs fixing and that I'll be awake late otherwise, and it can work like that when taken infrequently. But it's not my first choice. Can give me nightmares also. As a younger man (22 years old), I've read that melatonin supplements work more effectively on older individuals, which may explain my hit-or-miss case with it."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I started with the mixed solution, (Moviprep Orange) 1 litre, at seven in the evening.

I allowed one and a half hours to drink the

product. It was roughly an hour after finishing the drink that I passed my first motion. The overall process between starting the drink and the complete emptying of my bowel amounted to around three and a half hours. My second dose was started at 6am the next morning. I drank the litre within an hour. The first movement this time was much quicker. within half an hour. My bowel was completely empty at around 8-40. So this process was 2 hours and forty minutes. I found the drink quite palatable. Certainly not difficult to drink. This is the second occasion I have used it and on both occasions my bowel has been cleaned well and perfectly prepared for the examination. I had no side effects whatsoever."


"This medication did not improve my depression or anxiety at all.  I was on dosages from 15 to 60 mg, as an add on to Lexapro and it made no difference.  I finally switched to mirtazapine and already felt a lot better the next day."


"Smoked for 30 years; nothing worked. Hypnotherapy, counselling, support groups, nicotine patches: nowt. My daughter worked for Astra-Zeneca, the company who make it; told me she'd heard good things. My GP said okay, it's the last-chance saloon, if I don't quit after a single 2-week prescription it's my funeral. As it were.
Started the tablets as prescribed a few days before quitting; used nicotine gum the last day or so; stopped completely.
And just didn't want to smoke. Yes, the cravings were there, and persisted for 4 days, but I said to myself well, they're no worse than a dose of flu, and I can hack that, so I put up with it.
Been off now for 16 years, never wanted one since. The odd thing is I still dream I'm smoking, now and again..."


"My doctor prescribed this to me because I have trouble sleeping. I don't know what I would do without it. I am 28 years old and I have had insomnia most of my life. The first time I took it, it helped me so much. I so would recommend this pill to anyone who has had my problem."


"This drug PENTASA is the worst drug that I have ever taken, I had sever vomiting at least over 20 times  in the space of 3 to4 hrs and sever diarrheoa which was even worse this occurred every 20 minutes or less sometimes but NO bloody that I was aware of.....So people be warned this drug is CRAP IT really is ..."


"Adding just 37.5mg of Effexor to my 15mg of Remeron had quite an impressive effect for my depression and anxiety. I titrated to 75mg and have stuck with that for several months with great results. This is the first medication that I feel has truly worked for me. (In the past, I've taken bupropion, hydroxyzine, propranolol, gabapentin). The combination with mirtazapine makes for almost a perfect synergy. I feel that I have achieved true therapy and healing since I started taking "california rocket fuel"."


"Somehow, the Prednisone is working within hours this time.  I have lupus and all other arthritis like conditions.  First time, first day.  Second round, about three days..... this time, almost immediately.  How weird?"


"I'm on paxil one year eight month I'm a new lady really nice and social now I can go anywhere I want the world know I'm a new person thanks paxil to give me my life back."


"I started on 150mg for the first month and was raised to 300mg after that. I began having weird side effects such as uncontrollable jaw clenching so hard it would give awful headaches. I also would violently twitch while relaxing before going to sleep. I experienced insomnia. Last, my sense of smell was very heightened and the smells would make me feel nauseous. I had suicidal thoughts even though I didn't ever WANT to do that. I continued to feel depressed and in my opinion it intensified my anxiety. "


"After shot #1 I felt great. After shot # 2 I felt like I was having an RA flare. The night of shot #3 I felt like I might have the start of the flu. Within 2 days I had high fever, chills, teeth chattering. All my joints were in extreme pain, could not stand, felt dehydrated. Could hear my heart beat and blood whooshing in my ears. If this happens to you call 911. I took several  Vitamin C &  my husband helped me drink water while waiting for ambulance. I had blood poisoning due to an infected tooth ( did not realize I had a tooth problem until I was violently sick  )
 Your Dr will try to convince you to take these shots. Abbvie the makers of humira are marketing this to stock brokers. I think my dr.  Must own stock in Abbvie / Humira. Beware!"


"All I can say it that it is a miracle medicine. I finally have my life back. There are side effects but it is worth it. I am in college and doing well. My doctors said that would never happen for me. They said that I would be in and out of the psych ward. I have not need to be in hospital in over five years. I can finally hold a job. Like I said I have my life back, something I was told would never happen. Seroquel XR is that reason for that. Regular Seroquel is great too it just made me sleep for 18 hours a day. Seroquel XR makes me sleepy but I no longer over sleep. Again I say I got my life back."


"Took Cipro for a pseudomonas infection and then five months later took Levaquin. Joint and tendon pain just kept getting worse and I'm still suffering from these side effects two months after discontinuing. "


"I have been using 150 mg of trazodone together with 300 mg of gabapentin. Able to sleep most of the time straight through for 6-7 hours with little after effects next day. After suffering with chronic insomnia for over 40 years this is pretty good. Helping me to get off of regular use of ambien and xanax."


"NP put me on zpack 5 day. I took the first dose (500 mg) yesterday at 4pm. I have diarrhea about 2 hours after I took it.  I get home from work at 10pm and start having the most severe abdominal pains that moved up to my upper abdomen, chest, and wrapped around my back. I couldn't sleep, no position helped alleviate the pain I was in. It felt like my lungs were tightening to the point I couldn't breath normal nor talk in full sentences to tell my bf what was wrong. I'm not one to go to the ER over anything but I made him drive me and on the route there the pain stopped and I was fine. So I never went in the ER but the pain was severe enough to make me go.  I ate a full meal before and drank plenty of water. I won't take it again. So scary."


"I have been taking Bystolic for about 3 months now and started to feel my hand and feet become numb.  I only take 2.5 mg."


"Knocked me out heart was working overtime increased sweating and vomitting blurred vision headache this medicine does not work for me at all stopped taking it two days ago and still have symptoms"


"I've only used relpax 3 times and it worked so well, it did make me sleepy, but I had to lie down anyway because I can't function with a migraine.  I slept for 1 1/2 hours and woke up headache free!"


"I've had acne for 5 years now. I'm 11 years old with horrible, horrible breakouts! I finally visited the dermatologist, & they told me to try Acanya and Solodyn. I've used it for a day now, and my skin is already starting to clear up! I'm excited to get farther into the process and see how it helps my breakouts.  No side effects so far!"


"I'm 48. Started NuvaRing 4 years ago after my divorce and when I started dating again. Wanted a non daily birth control. I liked not having to take a pill daily, didn't notice it inside me, and had shorter, lighter periods. I QUIT using NuvaRing a few months ago since the man I'm dating had a vasectomy years ago, so birth control isn't an issue for me now. I feel so much better now! I am not swollen, my weight that I put on is falling off, the abdominal discomfort I felt daily is gone, I'm not as moody. I hope my breasts don't go back down a size. Now I suspect these were all NUVARING side effects not post divorce effects after reading the other comments. They started right after I began with Nuvaring. So great idea, but not for everybody, obviously."


"It helps the pain a little but not a lot. It does make me drowsy after a while though."


"Took for Root Canal and tooth infection.  Take with water and most likely after eating.  If chest pains and/or heartburn I found Alkaseltzer worked the best and fastest.  Also try the live culture yogurt and foods high in fiber."


"I do believe that Tracleer has helped to keep me alive fo over 12 years"


"Im 22 on Day 5 of 25mg Zoloft.  tried Prozac before and it made me feel numb kind of zombie like.  Zoloft is helping my mood, but I cant sleep at all, if I do manage to fall asleep I wake up an hour later.  I clench my teeth and constantly need to move my legs at night.  feel slightly confused at times. im hoping these side effects go away"


"I am a little over 2 weeks in. I was diagnosed with panic disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder 2 months ago. I tried everything to avoid taking medicines. Did therapy, yoga, changed my diet, etc. I started to feel better but it was still a constant effort to lift my moods and stop my obsessive thinking. I was beyond nervous taking medicines but finally decided to after my sister convinced me (she's been on sertraline) for 2 years. I am loving it now and so happy I am giving it a shot. The adjustment was tough for me but so happy I preservered. I realized you don't get extra points in this world for suffering."


"I'm new to the throbbing, headache life. Went to emergency yesterday after having had a headache that would not go away after it started 7 days from then. Chiropractor exam and such checked out. Eye doctor checked out. Was alternating between two pain medicines during that week in order to manage the pain. ER doctor prescribed me Fioricet. I'm keeping a log of it as I go...started with one pill so far to see how it went. Took first pill at 12:00am and 1 1/2 hour later the pain was numb enough to make me comfortable. This morning I took it again at 9:00am since the pain was starting again. 40 minutes later the pain is gone. I'm really liking this medicine so far."


"I am on this again for the second time, my main issue is that I find it makes me tired all the time and it's hard to concentrate for university. I just want to sleep. My doctor did say he chooses the more sedative ones to start with because they usually have less adverse reactions. Other than being tired, it did reduce my depression and anxiety a fair bit, but most of all reduced my suicidal thoughts a great amount."


"I have been on this medication for just about a year and think it is wonderful the only issue is about a week before my infusion I have a real increase in symptoms I wish that there was a 21-day option because 28 is too far"


"Ok so just like all you I took plan B. Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex a day after I finished my period. Not sure if he came in me or not I IMMEDIATLEY went to walgreens to buy plan b. The waiting game was hard. I spotted a week after taking plan b and my actual period was 3 days late. Here I am sitting here typing this with such great relief. Guys I thought I was pregnant. I had ALL these terrible symptoms and signs of pregnancy but guess what PLAN B DOES WORK. DO NOT BE PARANOID JUST GIVE IT SOME TIME.  YOU WILL BE OK I PROMISE.  I hope this gives you guys the relief and peace of mind. I felt like a zombie for almost a month because I was terrified. IT DOES WORK. Sending good vibes to whomever may need it. Ps. Don't think the worst"


"I started taking this pill for ovarian cysts. I also have moderate/severe acne and was told it works well to clear up skin also. On top of that, I get insane cramps during my period. Overall, it was about time I started birth control. I am very unhappy with this pill. After taking the pill for 3 days, my acne got a lot worse, and I broke out on my chin/jawline, which had never happened before. Everyday I get sharp pains (feels like cramps) in my lower abdomen. Today they were so bad that I considered pulling over my car while I was driving and calling my parents to come pick me up. I also have been getting migraines more frequently. Overall, this pill has been a disappointment. If my acne doesnt clear up soon I will switch pills"


"Hi everyone so I just read all the reviews! and this is my second yeast infection I had a TERRIBLE one 4 years ago, I got this one from taking a BV antibiotic. I took it upon myself to take the Monistat 7 treatment I'm on night two and when first inserting and putting on my outer lips it burns for a half hr then there is relief. The key is to ladies take a water bottle from ur fridge or freezer and put it in between ur legs on ur vagina outside loose cotton underwear its a lifesaver! Do this off and on! Also eat probiotic yogurt drink water, only wash ur vagina with water no soap. I hope this helps and I just want mine too go away but I may need something Stronger like Diflucan. Also this product does not work for every woman."


"This was the only thing that help me with my bloating and constipation. I have suffered for years with this...I want my Zelnorm back!"


"I first tried the shot a few years ago. I only got one shot. For the very first time it lasted three months so did my period so I stopped. I now have a son and I went back to the Depo shot and my body has seemed to work with it now .. I talked with my doctor and she said that very common and to just go through with the 2nd and 3rd shot. Now I have no period and I don't have to remember to take a pill ... please give it another try"


"I have just took my first dose on Sunday 30th July woke up in night with abdo pain but not too bad. But have had heartburn from hell and belching, haven't eaten much so I hope the weight loss will come,"


"I was prescribed this drug for alcohol dependence. While I found no significant improvement in cravings, it did seem to have an effect on my hormones, which is very odd. I have a regular menstrual cycle, but after starting this medication, I experienced three full periods in about five weeks. The irregularity stopped after I stopped taking naltrexone. I'm now starting acampostate (Campral)."


"At first when I started taking it I loved it. I get my period on time, till I started to feel depressed and moody all the time. I used to have my face clear till now, now I have like a rash on my face and I can't get rid of it so I'm going to stop taking it because it makes me cry all the time over nothing, and my skin isn't the same anymore!"


"This medicine works. I was able to attain four erections in one night with just one tablet. It works in about 30-45 minutes and it is worth the price. No side effects for me at all."


"Dizziness and highly increased appetite"


"Didn't take any pain meds, got put in at 6 week postpartum appointment. Slightly uncomfortable but painless.  Went to the park with the kids afterward. A week later got my period, crampy but tolerable."


"Very great drug, got me out of pneumonia in 5 days, but still took it as prescribed 10 days. Once a day by 500mg. I did not experience any side effects. From the beginning after reading all the side effects I felt I have them all but that was only in my head. So unless you really have side effects you should talk to your doctor."


"Having trouble emptying bladder so doc gave Rapaflo samples. Increased flow within days, but still difficulty emptying completely. No ejaculate at all, but orgasim still there.  Will stop Rapaflo regimen and try disposable caths for awhile."


"I have been on escitalopram for 9 months now. I have a 10 year diagnosed history of depression and anxiety and 4 year diagnosed BPD. This drug has helped immensely.

Originally prescribed at 5mg for help with my perpetual anxiety attacks I found almost instant relief (within 4 days of beginning the medication) after 4 months my doctor increased it as I had had no noticeable side effects in hopes to help combat my depression.... 9 months later there is no more cutting or suicidal thoughts, higher productivity, fewer down days and more enthusiasm for life. I'm on a daily dose of 20mg (strictly taken at night as I find taking it in the morning gives my brain doesn't work properly when I am trying to pay attention at uni or work)."


"This is a very good content displayed here. When it comes to podophyllum its effect is as bad as it is good. There are a lot of measures to be taken for application of this medicine. if you read this article, then you would be well aware of this medicine. By the way, this gave me a lot of information. Hope it will Help others a lot."


"Have been taking for over 25 years.  Very good control of my migraines."


"I took my first Depo shot in February of this year and for the first month I didn't have any side effects, so I thought it was great, but then came the abnormal bleeding. I literally had spotting from March to June. It was so miserable, even after it wore off it was still happening. Finally just this month (yesterday) my period came back normally. Also, I had really bad acne the whole time it was in my system when normally I don't have acne at all and I don't just mean a couple of pimples...it was like deep acne which left me with scars on my face. Other than those two side effects Depo is pretty awesome as I didn't get pregnant and didn't have to remember to take a pill. I'm now on Ortho Tri-Cyclen and seeing how that works out."


"This has helped me with my anxiety. My depression is even better than when I took antidepressant medicines. I take them as prescribed as I do not want any dependency. So if you need a medicine for anxiety or panic this is a good choice."


"Helped with my cramping and had no spotting but gave me large cystic acne. It took me several months before I realized desogen was the cause of the acne but once I stopped taking it, it went away."


"I have tried so many medications for relief of my OCD and panic attacks and so many of them failed until I tried saphris, I've been on it for about a month and never felt better. I didn't want to take benzos because I hated the memory loss and was afraid of addiction, but aside from the awful taste (which is worth it for how much it helps me) saphris has been the best medication for eliminating intrusive thoughts and constant anxiety."


"After trying just about every other medicine out there, this has, by far, been the most effective from an emotional, cognitive, and mental standpoint; however, I am sad to say that I have made the decision to discontinue due to weight gain (15 pounds-ish).  I gained weight when I first started the medication at 5mg (also had a severe rash on my stomach), with the weight-gain increasing almost immediately after jumping up to 10 mg.  The weight gain is the only reason that I am discontinuing.  (Some FYI's.  I must take this medicine with food or I will be sick.  I also take it right before bed as it makes me tired, and also take Lamictal, Trazadone, Buspar, and Ritalin)."


"It does work fast. Usually I can get rid of it in 2-4 days. The only issue I have is the cream is a dark white color so if I apply it to my lip, the white cream is very noticeable on my lip. In public, I would have to wipe part of it off so no one would see that I have white cream on my lip. I wish this cream was more transparent."


"2nd day on contrave and feel like crap spending my time in bed. Nope not taking any more!"


"I smoked for 9 years and I tried many times to quit. I started taking Chantix in January 2011, and attempted to smoke for the entire week leading to my quit date. Cigarettes disgusted me after 3 days on the medication, and I have never smoked again. There is no nicotine "reward" while taking this medication. It's been over 5 years and I am still smoke free with no desire for a cigarette. Chantix is a miracle drug and I highly recommend it to all smokers."


"Worked great. It improved my vision."


"I had a horrible experience I got it done last Friday 6/17/16. They never mentioned anything about it being painful and they never offered me any pain pills and there was no injection of analgesics to the cervix like I've read other people getting (after the fact) It literally felt like I was going to give birth it was very painful and I'm a tough cookie and I'm really upset that they had to open up my cervix to do it. Yes they open up your cervix. I thought they just inserted it through the cervicle whole but no... It's only been in a day and I'm having really bad cramping and headaches. I wish I never got it. I'm getting it removed ASAP.  If you do plan to do it make sure you take 800 mg ibuprofen before hand."


"As a life long seasonal allergy sufferer, I search for something that
 won't put me to sleep
 won't cause side effects with other medications
 I can afford

For most of my life I've taken plain old Sudafed with an aspirin from mid February, when the early bulbs start to bloom until after Thanksgiving when pollen finally is gone.

Last year my daughter, who has similar symptoms, tried Flonase with great success.  For me, the "Hottest Year Ever-2015" was also my worse ever year with allergies,  I have all the symptoms from watery eyes, runny nose, coughing, sneezing etc etc etc.

I've been using it for 4 days, starting with 2 times a day then once a day and my symptoms seem to be going away!"


"I was having a bad constipation and i asked the pharmacist so he advised me to take bisacodyl suppositories. I was scared to use suppositories because i have never used one so i decided to wait until the morning. But i woke up from the pain at 4 am and i decided that it's time to use a suppository. I inserted it the right way and i laid on my stomach for an hour to make sure it doesn't come out. At first it started to burn my rectum and my anus as hell, after 30 mins my stomach started to hurt so bad and i sweated a lot. I had an urge to go to the bathroom but i held it for an hour as instructed. When i went to the bathroom i didn't do anything, there were just farts and some liquids. The burning sensation started to get better after 2 hours but something felt weird for the rest of the day ( I couldn't sit comfortably at work). More than 12 hours passed and i still didn't go to the bathroom. But honestly the constipation pain went away."


"Did what it was supposed to do, i.e. I didn't get pregnant and I was sexually active the whole time I was on it. Also, I don't believe I had the single zit for the whole year and a half I was on it. Nice!

However...

I experienced a lot of very annoying headaches while taking Ocella. They were stubborn too, wouldn't go away if I took an Aleeve.

Also, weight gain definitely happened. I went up 2 full cup sizes and "filled out" in general. I would say about 8lbs or so. (With little to no change in my diet/ lifestyle)

Also, I feel that Ocella increased my anxiety and depression. It also affected my sex drive and level of lubrication.

Everyone's body is different, hard to say if symptoms were from Ocella or unrelated."


"I'm cured!! Only 8 weeks of treatment, no side effects and I'm cured from Hep C after 15 years!"


"I've been on it for about 7 years and my PSA has never been above .5. No side effects."


"I've been in this drug for over 7 weeks now and I have seen no improvement. For the first two weeks or so it got better, then it got worse than how it was to start with. Since then I am to back to how I was to start off with, but if it's not better after three months I'm going back to my dermatologist."


"neuropathy"


"WARNING: take the side-effects of this med really seriously. I had a car accident which shook me up emotionally really badly and I wasn't sleeping. So the doc prescribed Ambien, which I was somewhat aware of, but had never taken.

For a little context, I am a 45 year-old guy. The morning after my third night of taking Ambien, I woke up to discover that I had ENROLLED IN COLLEGE. I don't know why, I don't know why I picked the school I picked, but I registered, got accepted, applied for financial aid-- the whole thing, without intending to, nor remembering having done it.

It turned out to have been a great thing for me (this was two years ago). I also NOW know to take Ambien and then LAY THE EFF DOWN.. don't sit up, waiting for it work."


"Hey ladies (:

 Well I've had this for 4 years all together and I actually got it taken out earlier today! Mainly because I don't really want it anymore.

   My experience was great!

      The insertion is nothing, they numm you up first and boom). It lasts for three years. The side effects I had is, when I did get my period it lasted for a long time.&&  Not really sexual.

  But everyone is different ! I read a lot about how girls gain weight because of it, well that didn't happen to me.

I really do recommend it."


"I have been on Depakote for 4 years now and I haven't had an episode of Hypermania. This has changed my life. I have gained about 40 pounds but it is a small price to pay for the positive changes. I control the anxiety with occasional klonopin. I am working on healthy diet and exercise for the weight."


"It's only been two weeks but Abilify 2mg, added to Wellbutrin 150mg, has been amazing. I was misdiagnosed for many years and it's sad to realize how much time was lost to my illness that wasn't being properly controlled. I'd only taken ADs until now. I experienced dramatic improvement within DAYS and continued relief from symptoms which often left me homebound and sobbing with no interest or ability to work or socialize, even perform minor chores and the anxiety became crippling.

Side effects include some vision issues and a spell of overwhelming fatigue a few hours after taking the med. Once that dissipates, I feel a lot of energy and am able to function very well. Fingers crossed for continued success. Much luck to all. There is hope."


"Ive been on Contrave for 1 month, i have lost 12 lbs. IT really curbs my appetite but the side effects have been horrible. Horrible Nausea and vomitting constantly, but it keeps me from overeating. Ill keep taking because it curbs my appetite..  cost is a bit much but the discount card helps where my insurance doesnt... instead of $215,...$70 with the discount card"


"I went from my regular Othro Tri-Cyclen lo, to this version. It is by far one of the worst pills. While it did prevent pregnancy, I have been very moody, I could get angry or cry over the smallest things. This pill has had me depressed. My blood pressure is also unusually high, on top of that I've broken out on my face. This pill has me feeling unlike myself, I've never had problems until I started this pill. Never again!"


"I have been on numerous medicines both alone and in combinations.  Seroquel showed a nearly immediate efficacy (2nd day) for my bipolar condition, in combination with a mood stabilizer."


"I was diagnosed with Hashimotis after a thyroid cancer scare and removal of half of my thyroid gland due to growing nodules. All of the symptoms- tired, depressed, weight gain, hair loss, sensitivity to hear and cold, cold extremities- occurred after having my first child and became progressively worse with each of my children. Since the surgery, took Synthroid for 10 years and could not lose weight no matter what I tried. Went to progressive doctor who put me on Armour and I have lost 35 pounds in the past year, mood and energy levels are excellent, and memory and brain function much sharper. My levels are a bit too high/vary, but that is where I feel best and my doctor allows me to stay there.  Find a doctor that will listen to you."


"For me it lasts about 5 to 7 hours depending on what I am doing. It does help which is saying a lot for me as not much seems to help anymore. I am glad that I got the opportunity to use this. Thank you!"


"This drug is an excellent anti-inflammatory. For me however, it did nothing for pain. I had recent shoulder surgery for the third time in my life, and this was prescribed for inflammation and pain. As it did decrease the inflammation, the side effects were not worth it. I developed stomach cramps, and severe diarrhea."


"Ive been diagnosed with this about 2 maybe 3 weeks ago ...my boyfriend gave it to me i found out when he had a breakout....the night before we had sex so we both went to the er to find out whats wrong ....I have not had a break out was on the 5 pill a day thing but my body couldnt handle it so the doctor put me on the pill i time a day ....idk whats going on but now I cant pee ive been trying to pee for 14 hours...ut feels like I have to go then when I sit on the toilet nothing but a few drops come out"


"I have suffered with depression and anxiety for the past five years. Gained almost 100lbs due to emotional eating and no energy to work out.  I have tried Zoloft and Paxil and I stopped because I felt numb. Not depressed anymore but not happy or even content.....just numb.  Just a month ago I started taking 10mg of Celexa and I finally feel like my old self.  Suddenly I'm interested in things again and I'm not suffering from negative thoughts racing in my brain.  I am hopeful and I have confidence that I can handle situations like I used to.  I hated leaving my house, almost as much as I hated being left alone with my children. Now all is calm."


"this is magic I used it last night & i had mad  sex with my wife im 40 last 3 years I had ED problem its resolved from this magic tablet the order was easy  1 star taken coz of the price £30 for 4 table 50mg I didnt have any side effects after sex I slept like a baby I'm happy & more confident man now"


"I suffer from anxiety/depression and recently started taking Zoloft. I was having sleep issues prior and even worse sleep issues after taking Zoloft. Been on just about all the sleep meds there are out there except for Trazadone. The doc prescribed it and the first several nights my sleep was rocky and I'd get up in the morning with a pounding head ache and some dizziness and confusion. I stayed the course for a couple weeks and I do have to say it works great! I was on 50mg for a week and the doc told me to increase to 100mg after a week. I never had to do that and now I only need about 25mg for it to take effect and allow me to sleep. I believe a lot of people lose patience cause I'm guilty of it. I would recommend staying on  the course."


"On day 1 of Viibryd I felt sick (i.e. diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps). The benefits definitely out ways the cons. My depression and anxiety has decreased significantly. I'll be hitting week 3 (40mg) of Viibyrd and I feel so much better. I don't think negative anymore or feel too sensitive about certain topics. I finally feel normal again because I have been battling with my depression. I will continue using Viibyrd."


"I'm 29 and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 22 years old. I had bipolar 1 but with abilify and lamictal, I now have bipolar 2. I forget a lot of things, have become lazy, have gained 25 pounds in a year, have low motivation, tired all the time and have been feeling depressed. I plan on not taking abilify anymore because I feel as if I've lost myself ... I don't feel unique."


"Drowsiness is a reoccurring problem for me. I have difficulty focusing and end up passing out. The effect of the drug comes a little slowly depending on how severe my allergy attack is."


"I took Cozaar 50mg drug for one week and yes it was very effective in lowering my blood pressure to normal.  However, it gave me terrible insomnia so if I got two hours sleep a night I was lucky.  Also upset my stomach and gave my heart a big 'thump' every now and again.  Also vision became fuzzy."


"I have taken Lamisil for 7 weeks.  I have had loss of taste and am a little more tired.  The loss of taste concerns me.  I have read some people got it back and some have been off it for months and have not.  Even water tastes bad.  Nails look better so I am going to stick it out and pray. It's kind of nice not wanting to eat sweets.....but I miss a glass of wine tasting good.....hopefully it will resolve."


"I see a lot of positive reviews here however I'm not so positive about propranolol it did great Job controlling my heart palpitations and I'm  thankful for that, I had really bad heart beats in some occasions my heart would go insanely fast, but I'm still feeling anxious the anxiety still there, also i want to mention the only side effect I had was at night when I was about to fall asleep i would jump out my bed like I'm having panic attack! It turned out it was a single and a random heart beat, i acknowledged it when I was laying on my couch, it felt scary to be honest my first thought was a heart attack after like 2 weeks it never happened again. So I guess this medicine may work for physical symptom of anxiety not sure about thoughts."


"I started this medication 2 weeks ago to help with anxiety, cognitive issues, and hypochondria. I'm currently on 75 mg. The first day I began to feel calmer but within the next few days more anxiety symptoms switch to depression. I went from having OCD thoughts and medical worries to wanting to sleep any chance I can get. There's also a complete loss of libido. I've also started having constipation problems."


"Dalmane is a good medicine for insomnia because it works quickly and lasts a long time. Due to its long half life, it also gives anxiety relief for the next day. I also notice I can go to bed easier the next night without taking another dose. It does leave a metallic taste in the mouth and can build a tolerance but as long as you are careful, it can give restorative sleep. Also, because it is so old, this medicine is cheap for those of us paying with cash. I wouldn't recommend it long-term because of the consequences involved with long-term benzodiazepine use, but this is a sleeping pill that current manufacturers can't match."


"I smoked for more than 30 years.  I quit 11 years ago with the Nicotrol Inhaler and was successful for 3 years.  Then I had a relapse, but I have been smoke free for 1 year again.  Both times I used the inhaler and it really helps.  I can't say I don't still want a cigarette sometimes, but I don't think you ever get over that craving completely.  Quitting with the aid of the Nicotrol Inhaler is all you need to become smoke free."


"I have been taking this for a month. It has reduced my blood sugar levels and I have no side effects yet. This may prove to be very helpful in managing my diabetes, where no other medicine has worked"


"Helped me a lot. Been using it for 8 months and now I'm on a 20 mg 2 times a day. I never had the power to just sit still and stay on one task. Now I'm able to actually sit down and focus on one task. I'm 16 and was diagnosed at 15. Ritalin doesn't last long enough though which is the only down side. Only lasts for 3 hours but it's good because you could get your appetite back. No side effects just a little nervous at times and head aches which are rare. Also suppressed appetite the first hour you take it."


"I was prescribed this drug for some stress and anxiety experienced due to some work life balance issues. I took it for 5 days only. By day 3 i could not stay awake or focus and let alone feel OK to drive. I felt sick and had excessive sweats. Constipated and headaches, i stopped on day 5. Day 6 and 7 symptoms continued with lots of nightmare and night sweats and shakes. never again."


"Been battling depression for over 10 years. I have had a lot of stress and strain in my life. I take drugs and come off them when I feel better. So I am inconsistent with treatment. I have tried Fluoxetine, citalapram and sertraline. I am trying to take 50mg of sertraline per day. However, for me sertraline helps with my anxiety to a point, but the insomnia has been dreadful. I awake in the middle of the night. Poor sleep. Then want to sleep in day as can' t cope with no sleep. The body needs to recover during sleep. If I don't get this I become paranoid. I feel sertraline 50 mg for me has been poor experience. I am currently in process of weaning off. I may go back to citalapram as this was the best drug for me. We are all different. Xx"


"Using Victoza for about 5 weeks, I feel a whole lot better generally, with stable blood glucose.

With regard to food, I eat smaller, choose better/more balanced food, I have lost around 10kg in total in this time and this alone has made a huge difference. I also consume pre/probiotics daily now and this helped with the GI disturbances.

As for side effects, I had nausea, dizzy spells, gut ache/cramps, reflux, felt rather tired in the first 2 weeks. All dissipated in the first 4 weeks. At the time I told myself I prefer to feel like this in the short term than head into a future potentially suffering from the plethora of illness brought about by Type 2 Diabetes.

It works for me. Give it a chance."


"Day 31-I am down 12 lbs. and feeling great! My first 3 weeks were tough with headaches; however, I know now it was caffeine/nicotine withdrawal. I quit coffee, cigarettes, snacks and sugar. I feel great! I am up to 4 pills a day and will refill this medication."


"I've taken ambien multiple times with no effect so my doctor prescribed me temazepam 7.5mg. They don't work period. I've even doubled and tripled the dose and still nothing. I wish I could find something to help me sleep at night."


"My anesthesiologist prescribed be Belbica for the RSD. No relief and a migraine to boot.  So about two weeks ago he switched me to Nucynta ER 100 bid with a max of 4 Norco 7.5/325 for breakthrough pain daily. I am waiting for the intrathecal pain pump. My insurance company denied the procedure saying they needed more info so now they are going to have a "peer to peer" TODAY  with the spinal surgeon. I am tired of all the different medications, the side effects and feeling like a lab tab. Have maxed out the lumbar punctures too as minimal relief was achieved. I am fortunate to have a fantastic anesthesiologist  (pain mgmt) who genuinely cares about ME and the situation I am in. Nucynta seems to give little relief. Will take any I can get"


"I started taking this medication and within a few days I noticed the bottom of my feet were getting sensations like air bubbles. At first that did not bother me but then it turned painful. As soon as I stopped the bubbles were less intense and went away after a few more days. The accidents I had were still there. I did not seem to have any effect on the frequency either."


"I have suffered with post surgery (heart valve replacement) nerve pain for over a year.  Nothing helped I have only been on this drug for 10 days and I can sleep and I'm also beginning to feel better.  I am hoping as time goes on over the next 2 weeks I will see more improvement."


"Experienced UTI symptoms 4/13.  Doc prescribed Sulfameth on 4/14, pending results of culture. Sulfameth barely nicked the symptoms.  Started Nitrofurantoin 4/18.  2 tablets daily; one in the morning one at night.  Seemed to be working with no appreciable side effects.  Take with food, lots of water.  Have been pushing water for 12 days now.  Nitrofurantoin ran out on 4/25, a Tuesday.  By Saturday night, symptoms came roaring back.  Spent several hours crying in pain.  This drug ineffectual for me."


"I had migraines for nearly 35 years after working in a building that had been "bug bombed" overnight.  About 10 years ago I realized they only came from neck pain and chiropractic did not help.  After an exceptionally bad reaction 3 years ago to Cafergot, I was prescribed Maxalt and it became my wonder medicine.  I have not had a migraine now in nearly 18 months (something in my neck has moved to relieve the pressure) but I still take Maxalt when nothing else will get rid of a bad headache after all night pain last night, it was gone in 10 minutes when I finally took it this morning.  I wish I had known about it decades ago, none of the other triptans worked for me."


"The only thing that has ever worked for my anxiety. It's so expensive, even with insurance, but I'd never try anything else."


"My doctor prescribed 50mg of Seroquel for insomnia and it worked well for about 3 years.  I then had to up the dose to 100mg and it caused me to have restless leg syndrome.  It is a great medicine for insomnia for the short term, not so for long term."


"So far, I'm still in the beginning stages of taking this medication. I've had anxiety a lot in my life but about a month ago I had a really bad anxiety attack causing me to have the worse attacks every single day. Finally I was prescribed 10mg and taken half to get adjusted. The symptoms and side effects have been horrible. But I've only been on it for 3 days. Seems like I have good moments and seem more calm. But at night it's harder to fall asleep and the mornings I'm more anxious. I'm totally exhausted and my feet and legs are tingling the night before but that is almost gone today. I stay positive . I'm hoping I see positive effects. "


"I just started 25 mg on 24th 3 days ago I knew something was strange on thanksgiving I didn't go back for seconds normally I go for 3rds. I had no idea the medicine was working that fast. Well today I really knew it was working I went into town about 1:00 and I hadn't eaten anything so I stopped and got a dollar burger and fries well it was all I could do to finish it. I have never not been able to finish anything seriously I love food. But recently my dr put me on this because I have some an eating disorder that has caused me to gain weight and I've never had a weight problem and it's really upsetting me. I was afraid to get my hopes up so when I got home I tried to eat something that I loved but didn't even want it at all! It's unreal!"


"Within the first 3-5 months of taking this pill, my skin had got 10x worse! My face was constantly dry (no moisturizer would make it any better), my face was also red and blotchy and very sensitive, followed by cystic acne! I didn't know whether to give up or carry on at this point, but it couldn't get any worse than it already was, so I carried on. Eventually, after the 5th month of taking this pill, my skin had cleared up a lot! I was so relieved. It's now my 9th month of being on Yasmin and my skin is in great condition, I get the odd pimple here and there, but Sudocrem does the job. My acne has completely cleared up and I feel comfortable enough not to wear foundation. Don't give up taking this pill, just give it time!"


"I’ve been on sprintec for 8 months and considering getting off it. My body still isn’t in sync with it and I go on a period for 1.5 weeks, have 3/4 days of rest then I’m period again. It’s absolutely annoying and tampons aren’t cheap! I’m spending more money on tampons which I’m not supposed to need than I am on the actual BC. This has made my sex life non existent since I’m literally only having freedom for 4 days at a time
I hate this"


"Latuda is the fastest acting drug for bipolar depression I've experienced, without side effects. I was frankly dubious about ever finding anything that would work. Dr. prescribed it as an add on to Lamictal, which is a slow-acting drug. I took Latuda at 5 PM and the next day I was feeling noticeably better. On my 3rd day and I feel better than yesterday. If all goes well, this could be a miracle drug for me, even though it's too soon to know. It's been months after a mania episode that I've wind-down to a depressed state, that is not severe but has been constant, where I can't even remember the path to a thought pattern that isn't guilty, hopeless, or without pleasure. I've regained a peace of mind required to get therapeutic learned skills"


"I was really enjoying the relief I was getting for about 4 weeks with this drug.  Unfortunately I started to get nose bleeds and burning along with stuffiness daily.  I held off going to the doctor as these are some side effects of the drug but they should not last more then 3 days and after a month of being on it I felt that this should not be happening.  I do feel this drug has 2 benefits than other nose sprays I did not have headaches or dripping with this one."


"Works well for my migraines. For me, I start feeling better in 20 minutes or so, and am completely back to normal within two hours."


"I am a very outgoing college student.. The type of person who can literally talk to anyone. However, when you put me on the spot or if I have to give a 10 minute presentation I can hardly think straight. My doctor was soo sweet and prescribed me 0.5 mg Clonazepam. I use it for situation anxiety. (Twice a month) and it has given me so much more assurance in myself. I also avoid caffiene when taking it before a presentation and I walk in the class way more focused on what I am going to say instead of worrying about my nerves!"


"Woke up with very blurry vision for 3 hours....was scary! It made me sleep well, but the appetite increase was horrific. I literally thought about food the whole day. Did not take again. I have a spinal condition and could have easily put on 20lbs in a month on this, that is if I could find the fridge with my blurry vision. This is a common side effect with this medicine."


"Miralax is great. First day was the only time I experienced any side effects, and that was only a headache. After that, I've been taking it every day at night in a glass of water. It doesn't taste like anything and dissolves quickly. Works great, too. I've always had constipation, but recently I was having constant pain and bleeding with every bowel movement due to a fissure, it was horrible. But now that my doctor recommended Miralax to me, I finally feel normal in that department!"


"My nurse practitioner prescribed this for me for acne after I stopped using proactiv and my acne was the worst it had been in my life. It did help clear up my acne but I took these pills 2 times a day for over a year.... It did help my acne fairly well but I still broke out. The big problem I had though was the monthly yeast infections. I went back to my NP at least 5 times and the times in between I just paid the $18 for over the counter meds for the infections. She gave me a couple different types of yeast infection meds and did tests each time to make sure it was a normal yeast infection but every month it would come back. I still suffer from them and its been 8 months off of that med."


"I just got diagnosed with type 2. My doctor prescribed Invokana and metformin from the beginning. My sugars went down to normal by the second week. I  am losing so much weight. No side effects yet. Miracle medicine for me"


"On Forteo for 7 weeks now.  Saw a Rheumologist who did a bone density  told me that I was at high risk especially for wrist fracture due to low bone density. Said my spine looked ok. Said I needed Forteo for 2 years the osteoporosis was so bad.  Since starting Forteo I feel extreme fatigue all the time.  Also feel muscle weakness, can't  keep up with my light exercise routine.  Also have had multiple aches and pains in my joints and long bones of arms and legs. Feel deep in the bone, not  muscle.  Pain seems to migrate from one bone or joint to the other since starting
Forteo.  Redness, and bruising at injection site. Worst symptom fatigue. May have to stop Forteo"


"If I could choose a number lower than 1 maybe I would be a bit less upset right now. I've been on the pill for one week and three days, let's just say in that short amount of time I went through hell and back. I'm constantly nauseous with a pounding headache, I'm dizzy all the time, and always in pain because it feels like my stomach acid spread throughout my entire rib cage. I don't recommend this to anyone."


"Hives is directly linked to autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's-  a thyroid disease. Chronic hives can't be treated with Zyrtec if this is the case. I give Zyrtec 8 stars BC it is a great otc fix for allergies. However if you are suffering from chronic hives and find nothing helping, perhaps you need to research ... I am experiencing this first hand. I have found oatmeal baths and coconut oil with essential oils to sooth my chronic hives- specifically lavender, lemon, Meleluca,  and peppermint. My next step is getting a full blood panel done to confirm Hashimoto's. ...Zyrtec can't fix that but is good for common allergies."


"First, THANKS ALL OF YOU folks sharing. This is very informative. We are all trying to find something that works. My son, age 10, 5th grade, has been ADHD and negative overall for yrs.  Finally tried Vivance 20mg. Big help month 1. More talkative, able to focus, get things done.  Said it wore off or he got used to it by month 2 so uppedd dose to 30mg.
Same thing, except after school a lot more sensitive emotionally.  He said he didn't see much difference after a few weeks so we upped dose to 40mg on month 4.   Still sensitive after school, no appetite, complained that he was grinding his teeth all day , thirsty all the time and dry skin then one day suddenly his wrists and web between thumb and finger broke into red purple DEEP DRY RASH. Stopped it"


"Miracle medicine. I had horrible cystic acne about ten years ago and Accutane is the only medicine that worked-and I had tried everything. I was so depressed, no self esteem, avoided people, mirrors. The most depressing thing in life is not feeling able to participate. I just wanted to hide. Also, the acne was very painful. There was no concealing this type of acne with makeup. Anyways, Accutane cleared it up COMPLETELY. The side effects were minimal-dry lips. Even if I have health issues in the future, which I'm sure I won't, I will never regret taking Accutane."


"Helps wth anxiety but makes me very sleepy, really can't take it if have a lot of work to do. I only take half a dose ."


"I have anxiety/panic attacks. Was using Ativan and it was great. Calmed me immediately, didn't make me drowsy or put of it but psychiatrist told me some people's depression gets worse. Mine didn't but she made me switch to Vistaril which does nothing for me. I've tried taking several at a time and still doesn't help. I really wish I could go back to Ativan. Hopefully next appointment she'll let me. I cannot stand feeling like I'm having a heart attack anymore!"


"Even though I have read that atenolol may raise 50% the risk for diabetes, I have used it for more than 20 years without any problems."


"I have been on Armour for 4 days and I have already noticed a difference. I could actually take off my wedding ring. I sleep really well for about 7 hours.  Not waking up constantly.  My swelling has gone down significantly.  My joints do not ache.  Not getting as winded. I am taking 60mg.  I have noticed that I am really tired at night. I like the suggestion of taking it at night as well.  I'll have to check with my doctor and get his opinion."


"I wanted the Nexplanon to be the answer because I love the convenience of it. The insertion was painfree and it was covered by my insurance (I paid a $30 co-pay. I know girls who pay $25 per MONTH to get the pill). I waited patiently to stop bleeding but it would always come back after a month, three, six. I feel bloated often but not too bad with cramps but I didn't suffer very bad cramps before insertion. It may have effected my moods/depression but I have had several hard life events in the past few years so it would be hard for me to judge. Ultimately, I got it out because of the weight gain. About 130 when inserted (2 yrs ago), 178 when removed today! It is convenient but there are definite side effects and downsides."


"I was taken off of Suboxone and put on Zubsolv and it was terrible. They tell you more of the medicine is absorbed so the actual mg is lower than Suboxone or Subutex. I was ok during the day but, by the time bed time rolled around, I felt the affects of the medicine wearing off. I even kept it in my mouth for 20 minutes. Still didn't last very long. I'm now taking Subutex and feel much better! Didn't work for me, may work for some!"


"I've been taking 25mg/day for 3 weeks for Nerve damage/back pain .  I love this medication! It has some interesting side effects...(I have tried Gabapentin, Lyrica, Tramadol, and Percocet - but had really bad experiences on all of them.)   The tingling goes away after a week.  hot flashes - too young for this! Mentally in a better place-I was in a depressive funk before taking it.  Cleared my head a bit - I actually want to get better now and am walking/making an effort b/c I'm able to b/c my pain is manageable.  I still get random shooting pains, but not as harsh.  Major con is my hair is falling out!!!  any suggestions on hair-loss?

Otc supplements I take with it: AZO Cranberry Urinary Tract Health, b12, biotin, pnv, and fish oil.  drink lots of water!!!"
