"No side effects other than increased appetite during my first week of treatment, hugely increased quality of life.  Can't sing Cesamet's praises enough!"


"Took first 16 oz glass at 5 pm night before. No joke, was on the toilet in 5 minutes. Didn't leave bathroom until 7, that was about end of the first wave. Second glass at 145 am the morning of. Took about 10 minutes this time, but same result. Other than feeling a bit cold after taking it, I had no other side effects at all. Only downside was the taste. Was my first colonoscopy so had nothing to compare to, but it was hard to choke down. Definitely worth it in the end though"


"My psychiatrist prescribed me Luvox 100mg that I've been on for close to 2 months to help me deal with symptoms of stress and social anxiety.  I would say the medication works but the side effects aren't worth me continuing it so I'm going to see about something else that is proven to have less side effects.  Some of the side effects I was experiencing were difficulty staying asleep and waking up with night sweats, dry mouth, and sore throat.  I think Zoloft worked better for me."


"I would give it a 10, then a 1. At first the medicine worked GREAT but then 30 days later it just quit. After a few months I gave up on it, I occasionally retry the medicine but no luck."


"although OK when I first stated to take this 30mg caps, then increased to 60 mg daily...after some years , I am showing more signs of tiredness, confusion, anxiety, hot flushes, and  forgetfulness and general mental decline, and still get depressed, among  symptoms....am truly concerned about this, as is my Husband and children (as I am not yet 65 yrs old)...and have always been in good health. I do not smoke, do drugs, and very  seldom drink alcohol...."


"Leg pain was terrible.  Lyrica almost solved my pain issue.  I take 100Mg twice a day, it is wonderful."


"I was very hesitant to get the Nexplanon after reading so many negative reviews online. I went ahead and got the implant and I am SO glad I did. In the beginning I had the typical mood changes, temporary increased appetite and 2 weeks after the insertion I had a light period that lasted about a week. After that I haven't had any issues other than a couple days of light spotting and a few zits here and there, but lets be honest, you are always going to have some type of reaction to birth control so I'll take this!!! Plus, I don't have a period!
YAY!
The insertion was painless and fast. I love easy birth control and this gizmo is perfect for someone like me. :)"


"I have been experiencing symptoms of fibro and chronic fatigue to the point where I had to stop working a year ago.  The most incapacitating was when I could not use my right hand and this kept recurring for a few days at a time so the doctor suggested gabapentin.  It has helped to stop the experience of the nerve pain in my shoulders and it helps with the other pain in legs and overall.
I do keep up my exercises and stretches and have to be cautious and aware all the time of my positions so that I don't sit too long as this aggravates the problem.  Also I have to sleep on my back or it will flare up.  It is worth trying this medication.  helps with pain and possibly that helps with fatigue"


"I received my injection on July 29, 2015. I was on my last day of my period and since then I have only had mild spotting. I experienced some pain on the injection site that went away after a couple days to a week. Very few mood swings. I gained six pounds since then. I am considering not going in for the second injection because I fear I will gain more weight and have worse side effects. Also you are expected to take calcium supplements since it sucks the vitamin D and/or calcium out of you. Which is hard for me because if I wanted to take a pill everyday I would have just got that. I have had a pleasant experience on depo but I am worried about the future."


"I was put on Humira when I was 25 and I am now currently 31.  The first thing I noticed was that it cleared up my plaque psoriasis very quickly.  My nails and scalp looked normal within 3-4 weeks.  I have PsA in my spine, ankles, knees and hands.  I was having trouble walking and experienced chronic fatigue which caused me to gain 20 lbs very quickly.  I would fall asleep from exhaustion after getting myself showered and dressed.  After the Humira took effect I had my energy back.  I could exercise again and I was back to doing the things I enjoyed.  I still experience flare ups (mostly due to stress) and I still have difficulty sitting for long periods of time, but this drug was life changing.  Vicodin helps me with the flare ups."


"Been using since trial days. Was part of trial. Coreg saved my life.  Cost of drug is too high, though. Also, at times it may cause dizziness, but that passes quickly. Do take with meal."


"I've always had terrible, oily skin so my doctor finally put me on Loestrin. It took my skin a couple months to stop breaking out but now it is near perfect! I even have people complimenting me on my skin now which believe me would never have happened before. Also has completely stopped my period and I now only have mild symptoms."


"Taking it for migraine prevention and chronic pain and depression and sleep aid. Works great, went from 3 or more migraines a week to 3 in four weeks."


"I've known something was wrong with me for several years now, but only recently did I "push the point" and get some face time with a specialist. The pulmonologist put me on a CPAP machine and dismissed my MSLT results, whereas the neurologist paid attention to my MSLT results and diagnosed me with narcolepsy. He put me on 250mg Nuvigil, broken in half, 1 in AM and 1 at noon. The first day it worked *great*, the rest of the first week or two it worked so-so (still had "the nods" at my desk, driving, etc, but usually didn't fall completely asleep), but it really hasn't helped since then. I, too, will "stick it out" for a month."


"I've been on this medication for 3 months and I thought my side effects would get better as time went on, when in reality it's only gotten worse. I feel nauseous everyday, I don't ever want to eat, my doctor told me to take it with protein but every time I eat I feel even worse. I've been losing sleep every night from feeling so sick in my stomach, I feel really depressed and my anxiety is through the roof! My follow up appointment is in a few days, I cannot wait to get off of this!"


"I was treated 2 times with Treanda.  Both times my palpable tumors were gone within 14 days.  The first time I was in remission for 18 months."


"I remember reading these after I took Plan B so I thought I'd come back to help. I was on my last day of my period when the condom broke and he finished in me. We drove straight to the drugstore and got Plan b, took it in 30 minutes max. 4 days later I had light bleeding for about 3 days. The month went by, and it was terrible. Most anxiety I've ever had. My period finally came December 5, 2 days late! I know it's hard but relax it will be okay."


"I am nearly 60 & have had migraines for nearly 30 yrs. Usually, I might have 1 a month or so- & if I did not catch it in time- the migraines could last 3 days. I usually take Maxalt MLT (10mg) that tastes horrible but takes the edge off. (I am a light weight with meds & have bad reactions + weigh only about 100 lbs). In just the last few months- my migraines have changed from being centered around the tops of my eyebrows/sides of nose or behind my head to being ultra painful, even to the touch, at my temple. No aura/ flashing lights. I've had all sorts of tests/trips to the ER to get a cocktail in the butt of Topordol/ Zofran. Migraines had been occuring almost daily. Started Propranolol- having vivid dreams but no migraine, yet!"


"Works well, still get a little esophageal pain. I think I need 80mg instead of 40mg"


"This was a nightmare. I got suicidal, depressed, panic attacks and NO sex drive. I grew hair in places I never got hair. It was like a giant foggy dark cloud was over me. I cried over stupid commercials. I had it removed and it was a good thing I did since the doctor who put it in did not do it correctly. I hated this thing. Do not recommend if you are prone to depression or panic attacks."


"Lowered my blood pressure, excessive dizziness. Extreme fatigue, chest pain."


"Ok Vistaril dreams - hydroxyzine vivid dreams do exist.  What I am sure of is this:  When my life was going great, the dreams were awesome!  So Vistaril (hydroxyzine) dreams were WONDERFUL and I have dreamed very vivid beautiful beach sunsets I have never really seen before-with flowing water seemingly from the heavens and beautiful colors I have never seen before.  I looked forward to my Vistaril (hydroxyzine) dreams!

BUT when I became stressed with the death of a friend or argument with co-worker or anything negative that day-then came the VIVID Vistaril nightmares began. So wild,so vivid, I was THRILLED to wake up and find they were not true because they were upsetting.  State of mind is important I feel."


"I have had severe back pain for over 10 years after two car accidents. I was also unable to turn my head without neck pain. After taking Cymbalta I have little to no pain. I pray it continues to work. It's amazing."


"Last year I had my thyroid removed and in less than a year I went from 130 to 155. I was devastated with the rapid weight gain. 21 days ago I started on Belviq and I'm proud to say, I'm down to 142 lbs. I still have 17 lbs to go to be at my goal weight.  This year, I am celebrating a milestone birthday and I really don't want to feel overweight. Thanks to Belviq, I think I will meet my goal by 6 months. I no longer have food cravings, or hunger pains. I experienced slight headaches at first and dry mouth, and sleepiness, but it's gone now. I also get cold easily.  I eat 3 light meals a day and I exercise 3 to 4 times a week."


"I do not tolerate Neurontin or steroids well. They blow me up like a balloon. Topamax, along with Cymbalta has given me excellent relief with little side effectcs. Yeah to no more invasive injections and cankles!"


"I hate this pill. Makes me so depressed I find myself always mad at my boyfriend for the smallest things my period this month started on Dec1st and it just ended on Dec.12 which was yesterday . My periods were so much heavier than usual I do not recommend this pill"


"Long story short,Condom broke. Took the pill like 7 hours after it did, (7a.m).  I was soooo scared! I wasn't ready for a kid. We went to Walmart and bought Plan B. And now it's just been exactly one week since I've took it, and I've started my period. I'm so relived,and So happy that it worked. This is not a spam either. I saw that a lot of people were saying it didn't work, and it kinda worried me. Because I didn't want to spend like 50$ if it didn't work. But it truly did. Plan B  really works."


"I've been taking Zoloft for about a year and a half now. I previously used Celexa, Lexapro and Paxil.  So I gave Zoloft a try.  Without a doubt, 100mg Zoloft once daily has been a blessing for me.  My moods are much more stable.  My urges to pull my hair, my obsessive compulsive behavior  and my anxiety/panic has dropped dramatically. I used to worry myself sick about every little thing. So much so, that I would feel anxiety before the most mundane of events such as standing in line at the movies or other things that no rational person would panic about.  No major side effects to mention other than I find being in direct sunlight for extended periods makes me feel like my skin is crawling.  Small price to pay for my sanity, peace of mind and my happiness."


"Applied this to treat what looked like a mix of folliculitis and atopic dermatitis flares (but which turned out to be just atopic dermatitis) on both lower legs, especially the shins. Itchiness, redness and dryness abated about 80% after one week without any initial irritations or burning sensation. There is no feeling of soreness or increased sensibility whatsoever, I've basically just stopped thinking about those problematic parts of my skin, so there's that passive psychological boost, too.

Only 9/10 because long term results are still unknown and because it's pretty greasy."


"4 weeks on Cymbalta at 60mg. I came off because they made me feel ill, and I am used to medication as I have tried a few. I spent 3 years on a high dose of Citalopram and never went through anything like I have done with coming off Cymbalta. My GP decided to slowly taper me off and this is when hell started.  Never on any medication that I have taken have the withdrawals been as bad. I have constant nausea, have been sick, stomach aches and pains, diarrhea, dizziness, leg ache, restless sleep, bad dreams, chills, and now my anxiety is back!  I am crying on/off and having panic attacks. It's just awful.
"


"I have used for at least 15 years with excellent results for head and body aches.  The Extra Strength is great in the morning since I don't drink coffee.  It relieves the morning bodyaches and gives you a perk up.  I use the Back and Body at night. There's no caffeine and you don't get the 'side effects' of evening medications. Only drawback is occasional stomach bleeding (evident in stools) and occasional heart burn.  Works better than Vicodin for me."


"The development of medicine has finally reached it's peak. I've had a bad issue with sweating from the forehead/face for several year's and didn't think there would be a simple solution. Having a job where I'm involved in many meetings, the least bit of nervousness or anxiety and the sweat would just start pouring out at a faster rate making it very embarassing in the work environment. I've only had this product for 1 week, but after one use I have not had one drop of sweat come off my forehead. Needless to say, it has almost given me a renewed sense of confidence. Worth it's weight in gold!!"


"I'm 16 and I've taken Vyvanse for months now and it helps a lot with minimal side effects. My mouth does get dry and I become less social but other than that its preferable to Ritalin, as Ritalin is much less smooth in terms of kicking in and wearing off and lasts a lot shorter."


"Intense abdominal pain. Bloody diarrhea.
Loss of blood from diarrhea causing excessive weakness.
Resulting in 6 day intensive care in hospital."


"Have been on the medication about a year.  Has worked wonders for me.  When increasing or decreasing dose I experienced terrible nightmares.  I am on a steady dose of 40mg and no problems at all.  Major drawback is price and getting insurance companies to cover it.  Needed to make a difficult choice of do I pay the price and feel good, or do I try something cheaper?  After being on other meds that do not work half as good as this , I decided to suck it up and find a way to stay on it."


"Effexor has finally made me feel like myself again... Can't remember the last time I was me, it's been at least 7 or 8 years. Tried Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Zoloft with no relief and bad side effects. Celexa worked so-so. Effexor has given me my motivation and happiness back. Only side effects for me are night sweats and slight headache/dizziness if I forget a dose...worth it in my opinion to be me again! Don't forget counselling/ therapy too... Didn't feel the most helpful most days (I cried every time I went) but I can tell my maladaptive thought patterns have changed."


"hey guys took this pill as a birth control option and I could not even last three days. Honestly I know I should have given it more time, but I know my body and the way I have felt has been extremely miserable. Nausea, headaches, aches, and depression. The site or smell of food made me so sick. I am not in a relationship, but was seeing this guy for 3 months and was having sex, but not on a frequent basis (we used condoms), so I feel this may best for girls who are really active. Our bodies are all different, but I have high stress levels as it is being a full time college student with work. Like I said we all are different, but I just could not handle the side effects. Hope it works for other girls, but as for me I am staying away for now!"


"Within hours of starting Gabapentin 400 MG...my feet and hands started swelling and my pain level increased two fold. Without knowing anything about any side effects, I started giving things away and lost all desire for things that I once cared about. My doctor was ill during this time and I stopped taking the drug on my own and now the pain level has decreased some but the swelling in my feet has NOT gone way and is quite DISABLING!!!. My quality of life has gone from not so good to horrible !."


"I got the skyla implant about a month ago. It hurt to have it inserted and I had cramps for the rest of the day, but then I was golden! No more cramps! My sexual partners can't feel a thing and weirdly enough.... My sex drive is OUT OF CONTROL! I feel like it has really increased my sex drive. Never experienced that before. My period was a little lighter and I have not had any weight gain as of yet."


"I do not recommend ziana at all. I have had a terrible experience. I applied ziana 2x, followed the instruction perfectly. I applied it Tuesday night at bedtime, I washed and dried my face and waited at least 30 minutes to apply a pea size amount to my face. Wednesday I woke up my face was red, but not bad. I applied again Wednesday night the exact same way. When I woke up Thursday morning my face had red blotches and was itchy. Was the day went on the my face got progressively worse. Red blotches, tiny blisters, skin peeling off, severe pain and stinging. I immediately stopped using ziana. Today is Saturday and my face has only continued getting worse. I went back to the dermatologist, got 2 scripts, my face is now bleeding."


"I had the worst mood swings on Yaz. Cried basically every day over the stupidest things, made me extremely tired and stressed, and made me gain a ton of weight. After a year of being on it I switched to Tri-cyclen and couldn't be happier."


"I have been using Mirena for about a 1 yr now and I've been waiting for the awful symptoms to go away but they have not. Acne, tired, bloated, nausea, cramping, headaches. I've also gained a lot of weight I thought the symptoms would go away but they haven't so I'm seriously thinking of having it removed. Everyone's body is different and I am sad it didn't work for me. I'm thinking about just getting a tubal. I already have two little boys and I'm pretty sure I'm done having kids."


"Suffer from erectile dysfunction due to coronary artery disease and take a beta blocker. Finally asked my doctor about pills and he gave me a sample pack 50mg of Viagra. Doc said I was a definite candidate for Viagra. I first tried the 50mg with success. About 10 days later I cut one in half for a 25mg. The 25mg was more than enough. Very minimal side effect only for a few minutes when first taken. No real problems. Have not had erections like this in many years. A great pill for all guys with erection trouble."


"My Dr. prescribed Naprelan for me on March 10th..By March 12th. my condition had improved 85%!!!

Ladybugluv"


"I immediately noticed I was'm eating the amount I was but then the fatigue, jumpy feeling and omg depression began. I stopped taking it after either biting off someone's head one second and the next a puddle of tears. If you don't experience these side effects then go for it but I was not sacrificing my sanity for my weight loss."


"I have been on pain medicines for over 10 years. I've tried it all. I was taking oxycodone 2 x 80mg plus 2 x 40mg plus 6 roxicodone 30mg a day. My pain doctor switched me to 2x40 plus 2x20 Opana plus with the same roxicodone a day. This helped some. I had built up a tolerance to oxycodone. Last month she changed the roxicodoen to 4x10mg Opana for break through pain.  Now I have my life back. This is the first time in years I have been able to get up and get around. I have had a pain pump before and was going to get another one but after this switch as of now I don't need it. If Opana is not working you may need a higher dose if you are able to take it. Don't give up. "


"Seriously...I'm on day 2 of the 7 day Rx (Monistat) and I think I might die from the itching and burning...why does it hurt worse after insertion?  Two nights now I haven't slept because of this misery...I have faithfully used this product for years, but this time is very different.  Never, ever has the insertion of the medication made me burn and itch much more severely than doing without the treatment.  Last night, I just thought I had a severe infection...but for this to happen a second night...something is WRONG with this formulation.  This is surely Hell."


"I've been on an effective dose (100mg or higher) for over half a year and I haven't seen any effects. My doctor first had me on lexapro, which made me nauseous, so we decided to switch to zoloft. When I first started zoloft, it gave me headaches for the first week or so, but aside from that I experienced no negative side effects. Unfortunately, I haven't experienced any positive effects either. I'm on zoloft for social anxiety and mild to moderate depression.

The only other effect I've noticed is more vivid dreams. So while I'm glad that zoloft had very minimal side-effects (headaches), this just didn't work for me. I was on 100mg a day for about two months, then 150, and finally 200. I saw no change/improvement in anxiety or depression."


"I suffer from motion sickness and was prescribed this. I've used it twice now on weekend car trips and it works great. I didn't suffer any motions sickness symptoms. I look forward to trying it out at the amusement parks this summer as I haven't enjoyed them in years due to motion sickness."


"other meds had moderate success in treating my symptoms, Nexium has been 100% effective for me."


"This pill certainly works for birth control and my periods are significantly lighter and shorter, but the acne on my face worsened and I suddenly had back acne as well. I had to get another prescription for acne medicine to get that under control."


"I got this iud after a devastating pregnancy loss and I wanted to give my body time to heal and time to lose weight. Well 5 months after getting this it fell out and I'm now pregnant 3 weeks after it fell out. The pregnancy is a blessing, don't get me wrong, but this is definitely not a reliable method of birth control. After this pregnancy I'm going for the implanon."


"Began last year and took for 4 months successfully. Lost about 12 to 16 lbs easily. Victoza suppressed my appetite by the means explained in the literature; apparently my stomach contents are slow to pass through to the small intestine, so the sensation of fullness remains. Constipation is my main problem. When titrating up I experience GERD and some discomfort; this has probably kept me awake 2 or 3 nights total. After discontinuing in 2016 I restarted again this July 2017 with the same successful results (I had gained weight back through my own carelessness). I have lost about 10 lbs in 2 weeks, not a healthy rate, perhaps, but it reflects my appetite suppression. Be careful when titrating up. I am back at 1.8 now."


"My life has changed significantly the last few months. I'm felling like totally lost my energy levels and fighting to keep the interest for anything. I start to think that I developed kind of sickness like anemia or something else. For sure I decided to investigate and find the root cause. Today I saw the Bystolic reviews here and the preview comments is exactly like mine : "It was effective in lowering my blood pressure from 150/95 down to 128/83 on average. However, this drop came at a tremendous expense to my lifestyle."  I myself have felt very low energy, occasional dizziness, sexual and general lack of interest in anything. My appetite dropped and I stopped feeling life inside me.  So, I decided to see my doctor  and stop it."


""A mild increase of vaginal burning, itching, or irritation may occur-." First off let me tell you that this statement is complete rubbish. Never have I felt the flames of Hades in my nether regions before, nor the horrific itch of a mosquito plague accompanying it. I read that the itching subsides as the treatment wears on so I will tough it out. However that does not stop my desire to punch the creators in the face."


"After horrible pain on a number of separate occasions that would go on for hours leaving me exhausted and ill, vomiting and feeling nauseous and debilitated. JUST ONE of these tablets stopped the pain completely within 20 minutes, unbelievable!"


"I have been on this medicine for two weeks now an have already notice a difference. I have been able to sleep all night, not cry as much. My outlook on life is starting to look better. I take this along with Wellbutrin. *****Please make this affordable for everyone*****"


"Relieves my upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, heartburn, and its affordable."


"April 2016 out of the blue after having normal cycles and 5 pregnancies, I started hemorrhage and passing softball size clots. My doctor started me on 10 mg provera and that slowed down the bleeding. It has been 42 continuous days of bleeding then they raised the provera to 20 mg. They worked for two months then started spotting. They raised to 30. Well now I'm on 40 mg.. I'm not liking some of the mood side effects. I'm not sure if this medication is for me.."


"I love this pill! I started off on Microgestin for 3 months & never had an issue but my insurance switched me to Blisovi. Which I'm assuming is just a generic brand. Either way, I've been on Blisovi for about 3 months now. My periods went from 7-9 days, extremely heavy & EXTREMELY BAD cramps to the point where I'd have miss work because  I wasn't able to stand. Now they're 3 medium/light flow days, with light cramps. The only side affect is tender breasts for like a week. Other than that, this pill works for me."


"Keeping a long story short, I have been on almost all the SSRIs and SNRIs and even a few atypical's out there with SOME relief but I never where I wanted to be. I stopped all medicines last June and did ok until mid November when I relapsed into depression again. My doc told me to try Viibryd and reluctantly I did. This medicine by far is the best one I have been on. There were some stomach issues for the first 3 weeks or so and I have to take a very small dose of trazodone at bedtime to combat the insomnia side effect. BUT I have not felt this good in years. I feel happy and motivated again and I sleep well. I would recommend this to anyone who has had trouble finding a good antidepressant that works."


"Nov. 2012 I had a double lung transplant. July 2014 I was told I had prostate cancer (this after several PSA's that never dropped below 4. My last was in the high thirties and I had had 3 biopsies). Had a radical surgery in November which included nerve scraping and removal of 11 lymph nodes. Post surgery I had no radiation but did have the long term Lupron injections twice. I was cancer free for a year and now it is back. Started Lupron again and the side effects are already out in full force (after 4 days). Because of my compromised immune system and the medications I must take for life and kidney issues as a result of the lung transplant I worry that the Lupron will not work. What would be an alternative treatment?"


"I struggled with severe postpartum anxiety and depression for two years after my daughter was born. I went to therapy but was still struggling. I didn't want to take medication for a very long time, because I just didn't want to be a "medicated mom." I always thought it would get better. It didn't and I was exhausted. I am taking only 10mg of lexapro now (therapeutic dose is considered 20mg) and I'm staying at 10. My life is COMPLETELY different. I feel joy and happiness again, my anxiety is gone, I sleep well, my sadness and anger are gone. It is life changing and I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. And I'm actually a better, happier mom now! Give yourself a chance to get better. Mild side effects at first - mild nausea and headache."


"Worked right away - overnight took away all redness and stopped ALL the itching... what a huge relief.... GREAT PRODUCT"


"Update to my post from March 30. I've lost 15 lbs so far. The extreme fatigue has gotten much better as I think by body is adjusting. I'm still only at a dose of 1.5 (1.2 plus 5 clicks) I am increasing the dose VERY slowly. If I go to quickly it makes me sick. If I only increase an extra "click" on the pen each week it seems to work well. I'm very happy with this medicine. I've just had to learn to go slowly. I have to pay attention to the last time I had a bowel movement. I'm fine for 3-4 days with normal movements but then have to take a very mild laxative to help things along."


"I have taken many antidepressants and a lot of them took away my desire for sex. I did not know that this medicine could help. I did not get this medicine for this reason. I also take Lexapro for bipolar and depression...so I think it could be worth a try to see if this medicine helps. I took clonazepam for years and my doctor wanted to try something new with this medicine.."


"My permanently blocked and stuffed up nose cleared within about 3 days of starting this medication, it was fantastic until about two days later when I began to suffer some serious side effects; hives, conjunctivitis in one eye and flu-like aches and pains.  I felt so awful I quit taking the medication that day.  Now I'm too scared to try it again!  If it hadn't have been for the side effects I would've given 10/10."


"This pill was low cost and extremely helpful for my poor complexion. However, I've gained weight, had daily headaches, and I've felt extremely dizzy after taking it for 4 months. There were benefits, but they did not outweigh the side effects for me."


"I was on the Depo for two years and was awesome for the first 6 months. I seriously thought I was in heaven. I still had periods, but had absolutely no cramps at all, which is saying a lot since I had horrible pains before, and the bleeding was light. I started the Depo because I couldn't remember the pill. Things were going well and then I started a period that lasted for a year. I would have stayed on the Depo regardless of the bleeding, but it was the horrible mood swings that made me stop using it. I was seriously a miserable person. Though this was my experience it could be different for others. My body never reacts the way it should. Really the only way to know is to try it yourself."


"I have been on Byetta for 10 weeks now and lost 18kg. Been on Byetta. It's the best thing that has happened to me. I weighed 150kg in January and was gaining weekly. My endocrinologist gave it to me so I could lose weight for a hip replacement, but now my hip feels 60% less pain, so might not have to have the hip replacement soon.

The only thing I can say is get your mindset right as to your portion size with a low carb diet, no alcohol, fizzy drinks or sweets if you trying to diet. Also I am a type 2 and was on Glucovance until Byetta. Now my reading is 5.1 and dropping slowly. Please understand I use it for weight loss hoping to get off medicines...so far so good."


"My life has become a blood pressure medication horror story.  Bad side effects with every medicine.  Exforge worked to control my BP, but caused significant ankle/feet edema and peripheral neuropathy (feet) that has sidelined my athletic lifestyle.  "


"I love accutane! I'm starting my 7th and final month now (started on 10mg a day, moved to 20, now on 40 for the rest of my treatment). I was scared to try the drug because there was so much negativity about it on the internet but I was so desperate to get rid of my acne and blackheads, My skin was so oily and my acne was leaving scars all over my face. The only side effect I got was really dry lips. I went through so much chapstick, and the skin on my face got a little dry ocassionally. I found drinking a lot of water a day stops all those side effects though. I highly recommend, The only minor problem I had was in my 2nd month on accutane I got mono, which was so weird. But could be a coincidence. No clue. Either way, I love accutane,"


"Enalapril has been shown to prevent the remodeling of heart structure. This is the most important drug that my  20 year old son takes with respect to delaying transplant. His ventricular function has not deteriorated since starting enalapril  9 years ago and his cardiologist tells him to take this medication religiously."


"I got my first shot the beginning of September after having a miscarriage of an unplanned pregnancy! Got the shot and thought I would be fully protected, WRONG!!! Low and behold, I am pregnant once again! I think the 99% rate is a bunch of bull because there are more and more people getting pregnant on this almost "flawless" birth control"

"I was on Alesse for a little over 5 years and never had a problem.  No side effects, and light periods that lasted about 3 or 4 days.  I got off of the pill when I separated with my husband about a year and 1/2 ago because of the cost, but I miss the light periods, lack of cramps, and the benefit of fewer break outs."


"This drug didn't do anything for the first 3 weeks (as expected), but once it started working I felt like a new person. After only a few weeks these effects went away and my life started to feel extremely blend. I figured I would rather experience ups and downs than a blend feeling all the time and stopped the drug with no trouble after 2.5 months."


"I had rashes all over my forehead and two patches on both side of lips. Was first prescribed with Alclometasone which did not help. Went to see a different Dr. and received Desonide. The itchy and rash went away 80% first night, and almost gone by the third day.  Awesome!"


"I have only been on it for one month. It's the best thing I have taken."


"Great med, weight gain yes 50 lbs over 8 months started working out at the gym and watching what I eat and feeling good and hopeful for the future down 30 lbs does feel little of loss motivation at 500mg trying to lower dose to 300mg update later"


"I took 40 mgs. of Cialis. I am waiting for her to get home from her hair appointment. Love the stuff it has added spice to our life. Did wake up with hamstring that hurt this morning Ibuprofen took care of that. I guess I am going to leave the light on!"


"2005 started taking tramadol 50mg, and the within a few months started on 100mg time release. These past few months I feel the medication hasn't helped like in the beginning. Sciatica pain 24/7, Thursday had another round of epidural, and doctor wants me off tramadol. Well tonight I've had such bad anxiety I can't sleep.  I thought he would ween me off this medicine, like all other medicine in this category! Will call the doctors office Monday, this is ridiculous to be miserable at night, due to the doctors advise.  I'm tempted to just take a pill just to get some sleep, I have a little tingly on the right leg, but not in any pain.  Hope this epidural works this time.  Back in 2006 it did not help. "


"I had grade 3 Huntington ductal carcinoma in 2013 with 30 intense radiation treatments after a partial mastectomy I've been on tamoxifen since October 2013 two two and a half months ago I started anastrozole had the bone density test and now after my third week at a brand new job I have my very first broken bone of my life. After reading all of these other reviews I can't help but think that the Anastrozole is what is causing this I have also been having joint swelling and pain in my other hand and just joint pain throughout my legs getting out of bed in the morning is more painful. I've also started gaining weight this is after only being on this for 2 months this is so hard to believe but I honestly think I I'm going to stop taking this med"


"If I could give this birth control a 0 I would. I have been taking it for about 5 months and I've been on my period probably half of those 5 months. Please tell me what is the point in even being on birth control if you are bleeding all the time. No one wants to have sex when your bleeding ever single day. Also this month I havnt gotten a period, thanks birth control. Also, I've been so bloated all the time & get sick if I don't take my pill with food."


"I have severe spinal stenosis and ddd. Not to mention a list of other things that cause me pain and loss of sleep . Kaiser  has taken me off of soma and I have tried several other muscle relaxers none work for me and the side effects were unbearable!.

My quality of life has deminished soon, I won't be able to get out of bed. When I was taking Soma to control my pain From spasms this was a miracle medicine . I have never had any side effects from it at all .

Would a doctor stop giving medicine for other conditions like diabetes or heart disease No! But they did with Soma . Due to this issue I will be laying in bed for Christmas yeah Merry Christmas ! I cried myself to sleep last night . Thank you Kaiser that's your plan for me live in pain"


"I like it."


"I've been diagnosed with bipolar type 1 for 7 months now and have been taking Seroquel along with another drug. I take 300mg twice a day of Seroquel and find it extremely wonderful. I find it keeps my manic and psychotic symptoms at bay, however they're not totally eradicated but minimal, and helps with my insomnia very much. For me I've only found that it made me drowsy for the first 2 weeks of taking it, some dizziness and it gives me dry mouth enough to be irritating but manageable. As for the eating I haven't noticed any real big change I've kept a stable weight and even lost some (healthily) when I do get munchies for sweets or otherwise I just have crackers or some fruits and veggies around and try to keep a balanced eating scheme."


"Best medicine ever for me. Started with lithium after diagnosis for bipolar. Lithium gave terrible side effects so after switching to Depakote, life became much easier for a chemically challenged like me. Took almost 1 year before 100%."


"I have had hormonal migraines sine I was 17.  I would have horrible migraines through my menstrual cycle each month.   I developed high blood pressure & my doctor prescribed Linsinopril & when that didn't lower it enough he added Amlodipine.   I took it for about 9 months and never had a migraine which was wonderful.   BUT, I developed waves of severe fatigue and was feeling crappy all over much of the time.  I developed swelling in my feet & ankles & my diastolic blood pressure was almost 100 all the time.  I researched the medicines I've been taking & decided to monitor my blood pressure & stop the Amlodipine.  I instantly felt better & my blood pressure actually went down.  Don't know if migraine will return.  Not worth the side effects!"


"I HAVE FOUND THE INPUT YOU GUYS HAVE GIVEN TO BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL! I was diagnosed Dec of 2012. I have been on this medicine for about 10 months. I have had symptoms for years before seeing a neurologist. Aside from the side effects that everyone has mentioned, I have been doing great! Now 24, I am in the free medication program, which is a blessing! Hopefully it works as well for me as it had for all of you that has shared. Stay strong in your journey!"


"I went in this morning to get the procedure done thinking it would kill me. Which, it nearly did. It was so painful, I felt like my insides were twisting up before she even put the actual IUD in. That was a very painful procedure but I hope it's worth it."


"This is a decent drug for my ills. Unfortunately it's beginning to lose it's effectiveness after a little over a year. Of course, your mileage may vary."


"I lived with anxiety/depression for years. Everyday felt like a struggle. I experienced a period of intense stress during grad school in my early 30's, and decided to seek help. If I only did this in my 20's I could have accomplished so much more. Celexa took away my anxiety and depression, but it took a couple months to work on 20mg. I felt like myself, I felt happy. I had no side effect, no weight gain, nothing. Since I felt so great I attempted to taper down and had bad withdrawal. I decided to stay on it. My 20mg stopped working after two years so I got up to 30mg...I think it "pooped out". I have bad depression now- sleeping all the time and anxious. I was switched to an SNRI, but celexa changed my life and I'm glad I tried it first."


"Went to a doctors and was initially prescribed Trimethoprim for a UTI but following a 3 day course developed a temperature and vomiting so was admitted to hospital and they prescribed me Amoxiclav 3 times a day for 10 days. Absolutely vile stuff, think out of the 8 tablets I vomited violently after 5 and the other 3 I was sat there clutching a sick bowl feeling like I was going to vomit for hours. I've spoke to my doctor and now been changed to Ciprofloxacin so fingers crossed I have more luck on this one. But would not recommend Amoxiclav one bit, made me feel 400 times worse than I already did."


"I'd been given propofol for a colonoscopy, and it worked great. Out like a light, felt 100% afterward. A year later, I had a D&C--again it worked well for sedation and recovery. But soon after coming out of it, I started sneezing, with eyes and nose running like a faucet. That lasted three days, but didn't happen while I was asleep.  Benadryl and saline solution helped a little bit. I initially felt as if there was a sore spot in my left nostril, and I thought these hayfever-like symptoms were caused by the oxygen breathing tube. Others have indicated that it might have been the propofol. Maybe it's a combination. My doctor knew of no such side effect."


"I have received i.v. vancomycin previously without any adverse reactions however this past week I received a dose of it (i.v. again) and began severely itching and had facial swelling. I was in the ER and now I don't know if I am allergic to it or just sensitive to of or if it reacted to one of the medication I already take."

"Was notified recently that the expensive drug Zetia now has a generic version called Ezetimibe however Zetia is a tier 3 drug and Ezetimibe is a tier 4 drug which means I will be paying even more than before since my plan will no longer carry Zetia after June 1,2017.  Unbelievable!!"


"I have been suffering with severe diarrhea due to Lymphocytic Colitis for 2 years.  Have taken many different prescriptions for it with no help.  Entocort was prescribed to me 10 days ago and I feel terrific!  The diarrhea and cramping has stopped.  I really feel great.  For the first 4 days I did have a moderate headache, but that has gone.  The only side effect I have now is some mild ache on my face.  For me, Entocort has given me my life back."


"Oh man does this burn! ugh just used first treatment......... Yikes.,......."


"I got this about 10 months ago. The first couple months I had irregular bleeding and spotting. Then for the next couple months my period was regular. Once a month, the same day, every month. Over the summer my period stopped completely. But now I bleed every other week. It's getting really old and I'm seriously considering switching to the pill. The bleeding is my only issue though. I haven't gained any weight or lost any hair, my hair is actually longer than its ever been. I'll probably give it another month and if the bleeding doesn't stop then I'll have to switch."


"Looking over these reviews, it's such a relief to know that I am not alone in dealing with the HORRIBLE, EMBARRASSING and PAINFUL cystic acne this has caused me. Until starting, my (then) clear, flawless skin was the thing I liked best about myself. HOWEVER, within a month, this had truly RUINED my skin forever. Excessive and deep cystic acne that did not respond to any dermatologist treatments and sent me into a spiral of low self-esteem. Gyno insisted I stick with it for 6 months to see if it evened out. IT DID NOT! Instead, what I've been left with is unresponsive acne for the past two years (yes...1.5 years after I stopped taking this) because of this horrible pill. Also, did not work properly and gave me 2 periods/month :) STAY AWAY!"


"So far, so good! I started on 10mg daily, then after a week, my dosage was increased to 20mg daily.  I have been on this stuff for just under a month now, and I am starting to feel a bit better already.  Other people have also noticed and a few have commented that I seem perkier and more alive.  I have taken several different types of SSRI/SNRI antidepressants in the past and for me, this one is the best in terms of effectiveness and for side effects.  I do get the weird, psychedelic dreams every night and wake up really groggy, I get a bit constipated and I can't stop yawning all day.  Also, its difficult to orgasm. But, its still better than constantly wanting to die. I almost feel like going back to work......almost!"


"I am stopping Topamax after 3 months.  Initially I lost 13lb pretty fast, within a couple weeks.  I was laid up with an injured back and sick so I wasn't moving, but then I wasn't really eating either.  Since then I've played with the same 5ib.  I am taking 100mg 2x day.  After about 6wks I got some of the common side effects (vision, memory, taste, exhaustion), I stopped losing weight.  But I'm fairly certain it is the source of some pretty severe depression that didn't exist prior to taking it.  I'm glad I lost 13lb, but the depression is too much to handle and I'm throwing in the towel.  Wish it had been more effective, but really it stopped working after about 3 weeks anyhow."


"This pill was horrible! I got cysts and had terrible bleeding and pain and was very moody on it. "


"It helps my upper back pain a lot. Norco has been the only thing that has been able to help me. "


"i promised myself that i would write a review to ease the minds of many who seek this page for a little bit of relief . i had unprotected sex the day of my ovuluation, my most fertile day , i trusted the guy for so long since dating and out of nowhere he broke my trust and came COMPLETLY inside me because he wanted to see what it felt like. i was hurt ,  dissapointed and scared ,  he rushed to get plan b and i took it exactly one hour later , i cried , alot weeks  i even took pregnancies test even though i knew it was to early to tell , but it eased my mind a bit to see a negative sign . i cried even more when i read plan b is ineffective on girls over 165 pounds , im 178 .but today , 5 days early i got my period. Plan b saved my life  Relax"


"I'm on day 6 of 10 for C-diff and don't feel there is much of an improvement. The taste is horrible! I've had the worst anxiety attacks from this along with daily headaches. I think I could sleep all day and night with this stuff. I'm hoping I start to feel better soon"


"I have been taking Mirapex for a number of years, and it has worked best for me. I take 1 tab during day, 2 in early evenings.
I had taken a high does of gabapentin/Neutontin, but some suppliers have a huge pill that was just too difficult for me to take."


"I was really depressed.... This helped"


"I have Bi Polar Disorder and had so far tried 4 or 5 combinations of mood stabilisers without success. Started on Lamotragine on a small dose and increased up to 100mg twice a day and felt good for a month. Fell then into a low and increased to 150mg twice a day and this has really helped. I recommend these to anyone who suffers with Bi Polar lows often"


"This medicine is wonderful. Only have problems when I can't afford to pay for it. Seems to take the edge off whenever I need it the most."


"I don't advise anybody to go off the medicine as dramatic as I have, but I do hope the best for everyone. Just pray if it helps and always know your purpose in life is to find happiness."


"I am 52 years old... have an extreme pain in my knee that had limited my exercise a lot..... additionally some emotional reasons that made me gain 20 pounds in the last year and I was already 10 pounds over
Today is my day five the only side effect is constipation.
Medication for me is being fantastic... I always read how to lose wieght in the past but never was able to practice.  Now I am eating to live in the last 5 days and not living to eat
Medication left me more calm in general... doing things in my time including eating and exercise.... very hopeful I will lose the weigh I need"


"Plan B did work but I took plan b because I was on the patch it was my week off and me and my boyfriend used protection but unfortunately the condom broke .. in a scare went and purchased plan b about 40+ hours later took it.  I felt nausea and cramps -  nothing unbearable. My cycle came few days early but when it was my next month cycle it took a little longer than expected it came a few days late in this process did take 2 tests to ensure a negative result.  But I finally received my cycle. If u do not have to take it DON'T  but its your choice.  Don't rely on this pill as it also has bad side effects but continue birth control if you are on it and becareful never know what can happen.. Walmart for $46"


"I am a 64 yr old female.  I have been on Contrave for 9 days.  I have lost 8 pounds.  I have had few side effects, a slight headache and nausea.  I noticed a reduction in my cravings on day two.  I am a sweet nut.  I love to cook it and I love to eat it.  My worse craving is chocolate.  I want to loose a 100 lbs.  I spoke with my doctor about gastric bypass surgery.  She said she wanted to put me on Contrave; meanwhile, because it could take 6 months to a year with test and doctor's visits before having surgery.  I am on one pill in the morning and one at night.  I will be taking my evening dose earlier, because I am having a problem staying in bed.  My cravings are COMPETELY gone, even for chocolate.  Planning to continue on."


"I find this med works better than asacol for me."


"I used Tri-Luma on a dark acne scar on my face and in exactly 1 week the scar had begun to vanish and was barely noticeable."


"I have been on the NuvaRing for nearly seven months now and I love it. I am a busy college student and I was terrible about remembering to take the pill/I couldn't take it at a consistent time each day because I was never always home at a certain time. This lead to a lot of scares. Since I've been on the ring I have not had any adverse side effects. No weight gain, no mood disturbances, no pain, etc. It has been wonderful for me and I don't think I'd ever consider another form of birth control at this point in my life."


"Even though this is a monitored medication, when taken CORRECTLY it will make a world of difference. Before my dr.Rxd me Xanax I would not go to the store,pay bills,outside..even my mail was neglected BC I didn't wanna see ANYONE and I didn't wanna see or talk to them. After I was placed on Xanax,those fears went away.I think it's WONDERFUL for anxiety when used CORRECTLY!"


"I've had hyperhidrosis for as long as I can remember (5/6 years old my mom noticed first) My problem areas are my hands and feet. 24 now, but growing up and going to school was a total MESS for me. I hated it. The equivelant to that are my job interviews now. I developed social anxiety and anxiety in general. I ruined so many pairs of shoes, and I could never wear sandals or dress cute because my ankles would show my sweat also. Could never get my nails done either ughh. Anywho, I tried Drysol for the FIRST TIME last night. No side effects, although my hands and feet feel a little dry this morning (8am). I normally start sweating for no reason as soon as I wake up.. no sweat just yet. I'll update l8r. Running out of room :)"


"Could be effective, not sure.  Side effects from three day Pak; headache,nausea, anxiety, sore throat, chills, tired, a feeling of being very unwell."


"Lamictal completely changed my life from the roller coaster high dosage of Depakote to a much more stable controllable life with just a little dizziness and drowziness, which has since gone away."


"Man, I bought this before reading reviews.  Used it at 930 last night and then decided to check the reviews on here. Literally started freaking out after, tried to take it out and couldn't. I took a Benadryl so I could maybe sleep through the pain. It never hurt??? I never had pain. Not really any burning either. I'm not itching anymore though so I know it's working. I didn't use the itch cream or wipes. Just the insert.  It's now 1130 am the next day and I'm fine ha. The reviews on here are so scary! But I had no problems. Everyone's different I guess."


"I am 17 and I got on YAZ in October 2008. I had never been on the pill before yet, I had heard bad things about Yaz. I went through some blood tests to make sure that YAZ would be okay for me and turned out I was cleared to take it. I have been taking it for almost a year now and I have felt no symptoms. I actually like YAZ because it keeps me very regular, I know exactly what day I will start and around the time, something I have never had before. Seeing all these bad reviews people are giving it makes me wonder. I haven't had any symptoms really but I have had the occasional cramps. My mom today just got me a new pill called Ocella. I decided to stay on YAZ."


"This was my first time treating a yeast infection. I got the 3 day cure... Let me tell you... This burned so bad I had to take a bath to rinse it all out. I was on the tail end of my YI, it was clearing up by itself. And this burning and itching hurt 10x more than the infection itself. I almost started crying."


"This medication has changed my life.  While I have notice that I've gained a few pounds, that's nothing compared to me being able to live happily again."


"Unlike most reviews I read prior to taking these pills, my experience was completely positive. When I had the symptoms of BV it freaked me out but I knew it was that and nothing else, I was prescribed 2 a day for 5 days and after the first day, my symptoms had gone, I'm on my last day having experienced no side effects at all and I feel so much more comfortable :) most people get BV again in three months time so I'm hoping that doesn't happen! The only off side to this medication is that I had to swallow it with food, the pill size is relatively normal but I struggle taking any pills so I guess that's just a personal problem, overall really pleased :)"


"I have been on Remeron (now Mirtazapine generic) for about 9 years now.  It works great and I have NO sexual side effects, in that I can easily have an orgasm, which other SSRI's that I tried would not allow."


"I have taken Sertraline for two years now. I have never had a problem. I started off with 100 mg, and now take 50mg. I used to cry all the time, and found myself deeply depressed when there was something sad.

Now I hear myself laughing and it shocks me--- wow ! That's a sound I haven't heard in a long time!  It takes a lot to make me cry now, and I am the non-worrier, relaxed person that I want to be. I have had no side effects or problems."


"Works very well for anxiety. Stay far away from any alcohol consumption while taking this medicine."


"Have had lifelong issues if Allergies and Sinus Congestion/Infections.  This is the first thing that has worked.  Only use the 12 hr formula taken early in the morning.  24 hr didn't allow me to sleep well.  Noticed a higher heart rate/jittery feelings for abt the first two weeks, then my body got use to it.  This med has improved my health and allowed me to stop taking multiple meds that could not provide the relief that taking one Claritin D has."


"My daily medicine is actually Effexor for severe combat PTSD but I have a high dose of klonopin as a PRN take as needed and in bad cases once my triggers are set off. It does a good job at helping me refocus and calm down. My doses have increased over time due to me apparently getting used to it but it is still effective"


"Awful medicine, the worst. The side effects outweigh the benefit.  Headache the first night, leg and back pain, Sensitive skin,  just awful. Pain got worse and worse. I changed my meds to ciproflaxcin. I have used this in the past so hopefully, it will continue to help. I even questioned the doc at urgent care to see if I can take cipro and she offered macrobid. Maybe this urgent care and this medication is something they get a deal on....stay away from macrobid."


"I suffered from extreme panic attacks, lack of concentration, constant worry, and restlessness which led to a stint of sleep deprivation.

I am currently 2 and a half weeks in and have gone through the gamut of side effects: increased anxiety, night sweats, tiredness and loss of sexual desire. But I can gladly say that these side effects are already seemingly disappearing and I CAN FOCUS AGAIN!!! It's amazing, my sense of humor isn't back yet as I am generally sarcastic which I am struggling hard with right now, but ultimately I can feel the drug working. My girlfriend doesn't think I'm completely insane (which is nice) and I feel like I am on the better side of the Celexa now."


"After breaking my back and being rated disabled because of the permeant nerve damage, and constant pain this is the only prescription that helps me lead as close to a normal life as possible.  I have tried several other options and none have been effective.  I was told to get in the best shape of my life and stay like that, so I am, but that just keeps me at a certain level of comfort.  I hate being stereotyped into a group of users, I am not a user.  When I have gone several weeks without it, day to day tasks are incredibly difficult.  Being a college student, having my prescription is the only way I can sit and study.  It allows me to put the pain in the back of everything and concentrate on studying.  I do make sure i am not addicted."


"I am a 53 year old man who suffers from benign prostate hyperplasia. I had to urinate 5 to 6 times every night. My family doctor put me on Rapaflo. It worked immediately, now I have to urinate only once or twice at night. It depends on how much liquid I drank. The main side effect is that there is no ejaculation at all. "


"It worked rather quickly for me. Within a 1/2 hour I was feeling significantly better. I did however experience brief chest pain and tightness and a bit dizzy about 20 minutes after taking it. I've only taken one dose so far and hope that I'll be able to continue taking this as treatment for abdominal pain suspect of a peptic ulcer."


"After reading reviews, I was skeptical on taking Linzess when my doctor prescribed it. However, I am now so grateful that I am on this medication! I have not had any side effects and it is working perfectly for me. I take it at the same time every morning, drink lots of water, have breakfast,  and within a half hour or so, I have a bowel movement. Some days one, some days another shortly after, then I feel great the rest of the day. I used to have terrible stomach aches and headaches before Linzess, it seems to have all gone away now for the most part. Obviously depends on the severity of your problem, but Linzess is a miracle pill for me!"


"I was diagnosed with PPH in 2005. I started in a medication study for the first year which brought about great relief in my symptoms.  When the medicine was not approved by the FDA, my doctor put me on Letairis, 10mg but had to cut the dose down to 5mgs. due to leg swelling.  I have done well since then and only get shortness of breath with exertion, but have learned to pace myself.  Thanks to "Caring Voices" who help me with my insurance copay I am enjoying life at 75.  I was able to work as an RN till I was 72 and retired only when they changed the computer system!  I've been blessed and very thankful to have Letairis."


"I had back surgery in 12/07 and used Hydrocodone before and after the surgery.  It helped a great deal.  I recently fell because of an arthritic knee and landed on my back.  I had reherniated the same disks that had done surgery on. Doctor put me back on Hydrocodone and I now have some relief."


"So I decided to try a new method of birth control as I have been using the pill for the better part of the last 7 years. I am petite (4'10), 23 yrs old nulliparous with mod-heavy painful periods. I got my Jaydess iud (skyla in the US) inserted just about 24 hours ago. Took 800mg of advil before the appointment. Do not let these reviews scare you about the pain. Honestly it was about a 6/10 but the cramping wasn't the issue, it was more for the sharp insertion pain which lasted tops 30secs. They also used an ultrasound which I thought was great. Afterwards I did spot for a bit (day 3 of period), no cramps coming home but did have some mod during the night and took 400mg of advil. I feel great this morning, hope it all works out! :)"


"For years I had itchy ankles. Maddening. Treatment by MDs, dermatologists and podiatrists was hydrocortisone ointment. Worked briefly. Then a year ago I started having symptoms of neuropathy in my feet. Neither podiatrist nor MD could fix it. Went to neurologist. An eye-opening meeting with use of tuning forks and the like. This man knew his job. Put me on gabapentin, 100mg X 3 daily. The foot and leg pain diminished and changed character. It's still there but I can live with it. But the years-long itching disappeared totally. I sent him a fax about that. Downside, have noted mood changes and had to apologize to wife for being a jerk. I am 82."


"Okay, so the condom broke while I was having sex with my boyfriend and we didn't figure it out until he pulled out.  But anyways, I took the pill within 30 minutes of it happening and I had no side effects whatsoever and my period came on time."


"I have been on this for almost a year and a half now. This medicine has changed my life. It has worked wonders for me."


"I started having episodes of anxiety approx 1 1/2 yrs ago.  Recently became a daily issue.  Missing- work/ fishing/ hunting etc.  Doc. Prescribed fluoxetine. 20mg daily. By week 2 things had gotten so bad,  I was house bound with every side effect known! ReallyBad!  Couldn't function, almost lost my very good job!   Friend took me to Dr. He said stop taking it and now I take alprazolam when I feel an attack "coming on". Does the trick.   Just a reminder not everyone reacts the same to medications!"


"I had no side effects. It was so easy for me."


"I'm thankful that I found a doctor who understood what I was dealing with and prescribed this medication. Without it I was just existing, and now have a full life. The 3rd day is tough when the medicine is wearing off, but by the middle of the first day of a new patch things are back in order."


"I took Wellbutrin SR 150, twice a day for about a year along with Zoloft 50 once a day to get myself better after falling into a deep depressive episode.  My psychiatrist also recommended the Wellbutrin for helping to stop tobacco products and said that it would help with the depressive episodes. Overall, I really liked this medication for my condition as it had few side effects for me and with the Zoloft (not sure which to give credit to really) my appetite increased and I was able to eat healthier and gain back some of the weight which was lost due to my depression as a whole. After doing more research I did find that Wellbutrin is contraindicated for people with history of epilepsy or seizures in general."


"So far my experience with this birth control method has been fabulous, I got it 6wks postpartum & had one period that was very light bleeding and lasted about a week, I haven't experienced weight gain nor hair loss. The insertion was 100% painless."


"It didn't work for my son and he ended up bouncing around on a lot of medicines."


"Today makes day number four of taking this. I take it right after I eat lunch and inexpierece no issues. I normally suffer with digestion issues and I am happy to say I have not experienced any. I did have explosive diareah the first hour after taking the medication on day one and two, but that has gone away. I have felt nasueated, but only on the second day after taking. Waiting for my new numbers in 30 days. My CD4 was at 352 and VL 897,000 as I was recently infected in June. Will follow up if necessary."


"I started with  implanon while in high sco  l& loved it. It cleared my skin, I only had 2-3 periods a year that we're very light I thought it was the best BC ever.  Well when my time was up I got a new implant by that time implanon had turned into nexplanon. My Dr. put it in my arm without going over the fact that it has much more side effects, especially for me who already has anemia, low blood sugar, severe depression & anxiety, etc. Well the first year wasn't to different besides more periods that were very heavy & long. Then it all got much worst my face is full of acne that I've never ever had this bad, I'm more depressed then ever with almost constant mood swings, I have no drive, constantly fatigued I can't wait to get this thing out & get a non hormonal BC!!"


"I started Chantix July 23, 2011. My doctor told me to take a half a pill for 2 days, then a whole pill but half it for a week but on Monday July 25 I stopped smoking. My doctor said it was okay to smoke the first week but I smoked for two days and I didn't want one as much as I did, here it is July 30, 2011 and I have been smoke free so far, it's not as hard now. Its all about self control. Chantix won't make you just drop it out the blue. You still have to have self control but after day 3 it wasn't hard at all. I feel great and had no side effects but I was a grouch the first couple of days but I was dealing with custody battle and no nicotine but all is well now. Chantix worked for me."


"I've been using Topamax for about 4 months after suffering for about 20 years.  The migraines had started to come every week and I couldn't function for days.  This medicine allowed me to function again without having to worry about when the next big headache was going to come.  Side effects haven't been too bad, some tingling, and I can no longer drink anything carbonated, but well worth it. "


"The first week of taking Metformin (Glucophage) I was extremely sick! But after that intail first week of taking the pill, I was better. I take 1000mg in the morning and at night; making that 2000mg a day. So far it hasn't given me any issues. Haven't noticed much weight loss but so far I am happy with it."


"I was just switched to Butran 10 mg Patches. I was taking Oxycodone 7.5 mgs every 4 hrs. I have been off pills now 11 days and on the Patch 4 days. No side effects except a small amount of itchiness. I wear it 7 days then change it out. It took me a whole week for Insurance to get the PA they needed. I have felt No Pain Relief what's so ever. I can't even tell I am wearing it except when it itches. I am trying to give it time and I hear it's a good medication but I am still having Chronic Back and Hip Pain."


"Confident with relying on it as only form of birth control. Breasts got bigger but gained no weight in the stomach/thigh area. Loss of sex drive in the first month but after that it went back to normal. I love this pill no mood changes at all. Cleared my face and works amazing"


"Every woman is different so everyone will have different reactions to Taytulla. I’m 18 and this was the first birth control I was put on. I was worried at first because I had read all these awful reviews, but so far everything has been good! I’m about to start my third pack and I haven’t noticed any major side effects.
For the first few days I broke out a little more than usual but I found that my skin actually started clearing up after that. My only problem is that my period doesn’t come when it’s time to start taking the inactive pills. But since I’ve only been taking it for two months, I know that my body might not be completely synced up with it yet. My periods are lighter: I only bleed for one day then it tapers off!"


"I have been on Topiramate for 6 months, I feel I have given it a good try...but the side effects are not going away. I have so many and I know it is not doing much for my pain so today I am going to have to go on yet another different med, have been on so many. The one good thing , I lost 60 lbs. but I sure suffered so bad for it. I have to go to a Pathtologist for the blisters on my tongue that the doctors figure are not caused by the medicine and yet it is listed twice as a side effect. Thanks for listening to me."


"Have no side effects to speak of. None of the usual predicted  Side effects.  PSA was in the high teens before provenge. That dropped to 1.03 PSA. After treatment."


"No side effects and it works."


"I was SO anxious to get Skyla. I am 20 years old, 125lbs, and have never had children. However, the pain was nowhere as bad as I expected! It just felt like some deep cramping for a few minutes during the insertion.

Some tips: my doctor prescribed Misoprotosol to take the night before, to soften my cervix. I was also given a prescription for Lorazepam, a type of sedative or pain relief to take 30 minutes before. I also took 800mg of ibuprofen. It might have been overkill, but it all helped a lot!

Surprisingly, it's been a week and I haven't had ANY cramping or spotting since! I think I might be the exception, but so far it's been painless and I'm very happy with my choice. A little pain is worth it for 3 years of convenient birth control!"


"I was on Elavil 10mg previously for a few years and had only a handful of migraines in all that time. I decided to stop it for a year to see how I would feel, eventually I went back to 4-5 migraine days a week. I've been on it for two weeks again, most of the initial side effects have subsided (dizziness, fatigue and dry mouth - nothing unbearable) and I have not had a single migraine since I took the first pill. I'm now on 20mg - I take it to also help with arthritic pain and symptoms of Crohn's disease. I feel better than I have in a long time. I sleep amazing and wake up feeling good and energized. I have never experienced weight gain on this medication - however I do eat very healthy and exercise regularly."


"I have been on this medication for two days and have had diarrhea and stomach cramping.. haven't noticed a huge difference in my hunger but time will tell. I still have hope. Female 33 years old and 224 starting weight"


"I've been on so many different medications for the past few years. A couple of weeks ago my psychiatrist decided to try Deplin. I can't even begin to explain the change. I haven't felt this normal in five years. I'd forgotten what it was like to not be depressed. This is a miracle medicine."


"I have been on this shot for 5 years, almost 6 now. I had had no serious problems. I gained about 40 pounds and I am having trouble losing it, but that is it. When I first got on this I actually lost weight & was the smallest I'd ever been, but I decided to try to switch to the pill (hated it) & then got back on Depo, which is when the weight gain happened. I had major mood swings but am now on another medication to help control that. It definitely works and love not having a period! Just hate the weight gain. This is definitely a birth control I would recommend."


"I was prescribed Zomig by my Neurologist, I have severe headaches. After taking it, it would kick-in in  about 30 minutes and the pain would go away. However, after taking sumatriptan instead of this, it wouldn't work as fast as it did before and I had to wait for hours before it would be completely gone. It works great though!"


"I have been on Yasmin for 2 days and I have already experienced very noticeable weight loss and headaches and nausea. Yasmin was recommended to me by my doctor to help ease my pains that I had, everyday, every 2 hours I had horrible cramps that would prevent me from any physical activity. I will continue this packet to be able to determine the outcome of time..."


"Had infrequent asthma all my life (I am 63) but never had to use an inhaler regularly. After a cold turned into pneumonia plus a sinus infection, my doc said to use my ProAir HFA inhaler more often. But serious asthma had set in and I wasn't getting relief. Burning sensation in lungs, difficulty breathing, no energy, was not resting well...you guys know the drill. After two puffs of Dulera, the burning sensation was reduced, lungs felt more relaxed and I could breathe more deeply. I slept better last night and awoke feeling rested...wow! After two puffs this morning (at 5:30 a.m.) I felt the burning completely subside. Feel so much better. Even sinus pressure reduced. Looking forward to feeling good again. Hope is in sight."


"I had this birth control for a year back when it was "Implabon" and I loved it. No period or cramps or weight gain. Then I got it again a few years later and I've had a period since February, (its now august), and I'm now going through a pad every two hours, passing 15-20 blood clots a day. My doctor keeps asking me to wait and see if it regulates but I can't hold out much longer."


"I have had great result using Tarka.  I had problem controlling my blood pressure, but once my doctor put me on this medication I haven't had any problems."


"I was prescribed Tamiflu for the obvious reason, to lessen the duration of my flu symptoms. WORST MISTAKE EVER. The nausea was the worst I have ever experienced.   The vomiting was worse than just puking on the flu itself. The nausea and vomiting lasted about 4-5 hours after taking Tamiflu. I would never waste my money on this drug again."


"This medication is nearly killing me. Everyday I feel like the ground is moving or I'll have that "drop" feeling like I'm on a roll at coaster. I later learned that vertigo was settling into my long list of problems I have wrong with me. So I started taking 10 mg for awhile until I got up to 20mg. Nothing was changing if anything vertigo got worse. Even through the night. I would try to lay down and sleep but would be suddenly jolted awake by a shocking feeling coming through my chest to my brain. This was easily subdued by Xanax (.5mg). Then my psychiatrist wanted to up my dosage. This is ultimately my down fall. I would start to shake and tremor and the vertigo gets worse. My head was pounding and my nose started bleeding. Now idk what to do."


"I've been on Avonex almost eight months. A little flu like symptoms the following day. It gets worse if I've had too much coffee, less 'achey' if I'm drinking plenty of water the day before. I'm fairly new to MS so don't know if it's stopping the lesions but I feel better than a year ago. '

Fortunately, I am a copay assistance program so it's zero out of pocket. Thank you Biogen."


"I have been taking fluoxetine 20mg for 15 days now . I suffer night anxiety attacks and panic to the point were I knew I had to do something about it as it was ruining my life. I was in a car crash which initially set off the night anxiety. The medication has helped me tremendously.  I have always been very sceptical  about antidepressants and felt I could manage my anxiety myself and refused medication in the past. It caused me to lose a bit of weight and heightened my anxiety for a few days and nights but it became more bearable .  I do get the odd nights when I feel it creeping back but I'm able to relax and breath it away, which I could never do before -  I would just have full on anxiety. So good luck to all who try this medication."


"I have been on Xanax 1mg TID since 2013. This has been a miracle drug for my anxiety. I also take Celexa 40mg daily in combination with Xanax. Within minutes of taking my prescription, I feel a tremendous amount of stress relief. I normally take 2 at bedtime and sleep straight through the night and never wake up groggy. I feel refreshed each morning, and get ready for work. 2 thumbs up for this medication. Those that abuse it, you give patients who truly suffer from anxiety and depression a bad name."


"I was on this medication earlier this year and had to stop it because of cost and insurance. I have since been approved for medical assistance and my doctor has once again prescribed cymbalta for my anxiety and depression. I had no side effects like I did with just about every other antidepressant under the sun. This has saved my life."


"I started this medicine for my anxiety. I took it the same day I was prescribed it. For an hour after taking it my anxiety went away and my head felt cleared up! But an hour after that (2 hours after taking the medication) my anxiety hit me hard and my legs completely locked up! I was unable to move from the waist down  for about 45 minutes! I felt no relief for my anxiety. My doctor took me off of it."


"Was on Clonazepam 1 mg as needed. Doctor found out that it causes Alzheimer and dementia so they took me off it. I tried Requip but it made me feel crappy.  When I stood still I felt like I was going to fall, I completely lost my appetite, and other things."


"Drysol is amazing. I love it. It really burns at night under my arms but it is worth it. Drysol has changed my life, that's why I gave it a nine but the only problem is that it has not worked on my hands. "


"I used to take Paxil and I hated the side effects, and the withdrawal effects, like brain zaps.  Because of this, I don't want to try another SSRI. So my doctor had me try Buspar.  I was hopeful at first. I knew it affected serotonin, but without the withdrawal effects.

Well.  The first 5 mg dose I took brought on a gigantic round on brain zaps for 1.5 hours, the same kind that I'd had in Paxil withdrawal, but much worse. It was so bad that I could barely walk.  Every time I moved my head or neck, I'd get a bunch of zaps in a row.  Very disorienting.  I gave it a week and a half to see if the zaps would dissipate, and they didn't.  My doctor said to stop the Buspar because if the zaps haven't stopped by now, they probably won't."


"I've been using it for about 2 weeks. After the first few days I noticed a considerable difference in the size of my pores. I tend to have oily skin and as a bonus this medication seems to decrease oil production. I will keep using it."


"This stuff is awesome.  My Pink eye was the Bacterial type and Vigamox cleared up in 3 days"


"I've been on Yaz for about 3 weeks now and I am an emotional wreck, but all birth controls that I have been on have had me like this. My face is clearing up I think and my hair is growing, but my emotions get the best of me. I feel like a crazy person crying one minute and fine the next. I get upset over the smallest things and I hate it. Also, My sex drive is super low. This sucks honestly"


"The pill itself works wonderfully. However, the horrible gas, indigestion, frequent urination and chest pains are not worth it to me. I literally thought I was having a heart attack for hours. I took nearly 12 antacid pills to see if it was gas. Although I was some what relieved it was a terrifying experience.  You really do have to choose your battles. The pain in my knee and back diminished but the chest pains. Deep sigh."


"I was prescribed GABAPENTIN for sciatica related to back pain. The medication did nothing at all to relieve the terrible pain I was having in my back, buttock and thigh. The only side effect I had though was some drowsiness and inabilty to concentrate. I was still not able to return to work due to the pain and side effects"


"This medication works perfectly for me, I am taking 300 mg/day since day 1 because my H1C was 10.8 and after 3 months is 6.3 I lost 30 pounds, eating better, but not a hard diet and exercising 2 times a week. Of course I feel thirst, some issues with yeast infection, but all worth!"


"I was prescribed 500mg, 2x daily for 7 days for Pelvic Inflammatory infection not related to an STD. Prior to this diagnosis it was believed to be UTI so I was given 3 days of Cipro with no side effects or relief. I had debilitating pain in my right hip, pelvis, low back and ovaries when I was seen. On day 5 of Metronidazole treatment my pain decreased. but the 3rd day in thru now (2nd day off) I have horrible taste in my mouth, cannot tolerate heat without almost fainting, have fatigue (caffeine no help), sweating (air conditioning no help), joint pain and mental agitation and overall sick feeling. The plus side is that the pain is gone so hopefully I will return to normal soon."


"I took 10mg for about 6 months although initially I felt less manic, my muscles in my legs ached and I started to lose my zest to do anything. My whole outlook on life seemed to be dead but not in a depressed way. I stopped taking Abilify and gradually I started to return back to the creative person I have always been. I still take a mood stabiliser (topirimate) to control my mania and Prozac to stop my depressive moods. Abilify was just a step too far for me to handle, I don't want to be a zombie."


"initial use caused flare up.  Regular use has been very effective at preventing flare ups. Side effect for me is that although it doesn't seem to be be the cause of rashes it seems to exacperate an reoccurring eczema like skin condition on my hands.  Stopped use of Uloric to see if skin condition on hands would improve  and the eczema was less severe....but then I had a gout attack!

No cost to me in Canada with a benefits plan."


"I took Cantrave for five months under a physician monitored program.  After three months there were no noticeable effects of the drug.   I started to regain the weight for two months while on the drug.  I went off the drug and five months later I am back where I started and several hundred dollars out of pocket.  My physician told me it was good for long-term use, but that did not prove the case for me.  It was not effective after ninety days."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I Loved these vitamins, I took them for both my pregnancies and I asked my both of my sisters to take them, they were recommended by a friend, and I think they have a big effect on the baby health."


"I tried this medicine but had to discontinue using it. The side effects were horrible for me."


"I have a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago. For the first two weeks I was on estrodiL pill 1mg. It was horrible, I cried everyday, was depressed, didn't eat, and didn't feel like me at all I felt like a zombie. I wasn't sleeping and had heart palpitations with hot flushes. My Dr switched me to the patch and I change it twice a week. The patch and pill are like night and night for me. I now feel like myself again and also finally get to sleep. I haven't really had any side effects except for a few headaches the first week.  I will stay on this as long as I possibly can.  It's working well for me. The pharmacy at first gave me the 15.00 generic patch but I returned it for the minivelle name brand and pay 45."


"4years quit, after 30 years smoking. I really didn't even want to quit, but took it on my physician's advice. Smoked while taking it for 7 days (day #4 I could tell it was working good). Quit and took for 7 more days & never had an urge. I could be right next to someone smoking, after I ate, while drinking & not ever feel the urge to return. No side effects, except maybe slight nausea first two days."


"Hello I'm Christian, just want to talk about my experience and help you out if you are serious about taking this drug. Well I started taking accutane because I wanted super clear skin, my skin wasn't bad just had a few here and there. Accutane did help clear my skin, but something worst happened! I was a very confident person, out going, loved to talk to everyone and always having fun on the weekends. In the middle of my progress with accutane I started getting really bad chap lips. The worst side effect of this drug is that it made me depressed i stopped talking to everyone and I felt so self conscious about my self, I felt like people were always talking about me. I'm still not the same till this day:/ i didn't even finish my cycle:("


"I have spasms in my lower back due to a car injury. Diazepam works wonderfully. "


"I've always had breakouts on my chin every month for the last 3 years so I tried this. I had a breakout on the 1st month of using this and it was the worse, good thing I don't have any school that time. But it healed faster when I steamed it and let all the cyst pop up. Although it left me a reddish chin that is really annoying. Im on my way to 2nd month and my face is 70% smooth. I can feel another breakout coming. How do I treat this redness on my face? Was it because of the steaming?"


"I had been using Ambien for years but gradually developed a tolerance to this medication.  I was also frustrated with the frequency of waking during the night. My GP prescripted  6.0 Silenor tablets about two weeks ago and  thus far, I am very pleased with the effect on sleep maintenance."


"I have used this a few weeks to control severe hot flashes. It is starting to work, however, it is very expensive and does not stay on. The longest it has remained on is 3 days. I'm an RN and know how to apply a patch. These do not stay on. I will probably look for another option."


"Have been taking Dexedrine spansules (10 mg) for over 2 years,three times per day.I never knew i had rank ADHD all my life,problems with school,the law,i am 47,and have noticed my ambition for life has increased,having more energy,i used to be tired alot,complaining,generally overall agitated at the same time,as well i have many comorbidies to deal with,but fortunately,don't have to take any anxiety meds. Dexedrine is all i know,and i am satisfied with the results."


"I am so impressed with this product.  Thursday morning started to get tingling and bubbles, went to the pharmacy and purchased abreva in the afternoon and applied as
Directed since then...  Here I am Saturday afternoon and already scabbing and drying up.  Wow, thanks Abreva !"


"I have been on the patch for about 3 weeks. It has really helped alot. I have not been able to take any oral medcations because they make me very nauseous. I am taking 2 mg.  This patch helps me a lot. So far no side effects."


"Had to stop taking it after 3 days. Vomiting, extreme dizziness, itching."


"Started Victoza May/15 for weight loss. Began at . 6mg increasing every 2 weeks until I got to 3.0mg. It's now October/15 and I've lost 37 lbs. Im 51 5'7 and started @ 215lbs. I use calorie counter daily and also track my activity. I plan to loose the remaining 23 lbs between now and January. Just bought a Fitbit for the encouragement.
No side effects
My insurance only covered partial as I was not taking it with metformin and I was not being treated for diabetes. Drug plan does not cover victoza for weight loss
My cost was $198 every 3 weeks
Happy so far with results"


"I heard good things about this drug for metastatic head and neck cancer (mine began in my tongue and has moved around my mouth and into my neck - I'm a 30 year female with no risk factors), but had a severe allergic reaction during my first infusion. I felt a hot flash move from my midsection to my head, then everything started swelling, until finally my throat began to close. It was instantaneous. I only had about 10-20 cc's. Luckily, my nurse was prepared and flushed the line immediately and gave me meds to stop the reaction.  My doctor has already ordered panitumumab to replace it, "


"I started taking this pill 3 weeks ago when i started my period. After starting it my period disappeared. Well 1.5 weeks later my period returned severely. I had severe cramps unlike anything i have ever had (and im 26). I called my doctor she said it was normal to be like this for the first 3 months on the pill. I have now been bleeding for 12 days and the severe cramps continued up until i went off the pill myself. Besides the cramps i was extremely moody and depressed. Be careful on this pill."


"I am 24, and have suffered from mild acne pretty much forever. I have very oily skin but was reluctant to go on Accutane. This is my second time using Epiduo. The first time I noticed it 'stopped working' and I was breaking out again, and that was only after a month or so. Going to try it long term this time! So far my skin is dry and peeling, but the results are amazing, not one spot at the moment."


"I just wanted to die while going through withdrawal, while tapering off very gradually and for six months afterwards. Longer term effects are too painful to write about right now. Avoid."


"I have constant migraines often lasting months. First trialed Lyrica for 1 week without any effects (75mg x 2 a day). After trialling other prevention medication which had bad side effects. Trialed Lyrica 25mg twice a day and after the first week was migraine free for months. after running out, migraines returned. This is very effective, as all other migraine prevention medication has been unsuccessful."


"Day 5 - cigarettes are making me sick. Can't smoke anymore. Just quit after 20 years."


"I went to rehab for Xanax detox and they prescribe me trazadone 100mg to take before bedtime. Due to the side effect of coming off benzos and not being able to sleep this medication does me so much wonders. I take it and within 15 min I'm ready to fall asleep and wake up refreshed. I understand some other people have different opinions but it really did help me and I'm thankful for my psychiatrist prescribing it to me."


"I was prescribed Anexsia 7.5 for extreme monthly cramps, which I later found out was due to Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease. Thanks to the doctor with the wisdom to give me the medication that addressed the pain efficiently. Prior I had been given a non-steroidal anti-inflamitory drug which gave me little more than stomach pain. This is excellent for the severe pain."


"Been taking the pills for 5 months, last two months I have had two full periods each month..and heavy bleeding. Also have felt huge mood changes, anxiety depression easily irritated.  I can clearly see changes in my mood before and after starting with these pills. Sorry but would never ever recommend them."


"I have been taking Trileptal for almost 1 month now and its such a life saver. I have been suffering from partial epilepsy for more then a year since I have been going to the hospital for almost 5/6 months and they could not discover what the problem was so I had to see a private doctor who diagnosed me with partial epilepsy and put me on Trileptal. As soon as I took these tablets it reduced the attacks to 1 every two days and after a month it completely got rid of it, so I am really happy with these.

However, I do feel slightly drowsy after taking them but that does not matter since its taken all the seizures away which was my main concern since life just felt like hell prior to these. So I would definitely recommend it."


"Work good the back and body work a little better.  Be careful not to take to much because it will mess up your stomach."


"I'm 19 years old & I took Plan B 3 days after unprotected sex on Friday March 18, 2016. I bought this product Monday night & took it immediately ! At first I thought it wasn't going to be effective because I didn't have any side effects. A few days after I began to feel very emotional,almost a depressed feeling. I also began to feel cramping, & 6 days after taking PLAN B - I got my period !!!!!!! (Sunday March 27,2016). It really worked !!!!"


"Have been using Fioricet when required for 4 years. I always go too long before taking it for tension headaches. Usually one pill does wonders and I can get on with my day. Will continue to use it as needed."


"I was on Lyrica for 8 years at 75mg twice a day. I thought it was doing little for my pain and I didn't want to start increasing it. I had no side effects when taking it. So last year I stopped taking it as I still had a lot of nerve pain. But since I have been off it I realized just how much it actually did for me. I started suffering from crippling anxiety, my pain has gotten progressively worse and my hand tremors have returned. So after 9 months off it I am back on it again as I need a quality of life and Lyrica gives me that. It may not work for everyone but it does for me. I have fibromyalgia and General Anxiety."


"Day 5 off Subutex after a quick 2 week detox. Day 3 was the worst upset stomach, aching legs and the lack of sleep but that's about it, nothing to be scared about it's all cope able, hot baths and paracetamol. Just don't listen to the horror stories, if done correctly it's doable. Good luck."


"I recently had a shoulder replacement  left shoulder and the pain was radiating to my left side because I was using my right side more than my left I was giving muscle relaxers, taken aleve,etc.. and nothing worked. I started taking Prednison in just one day my pain and discomfort is gone thank goodness I had a pack that I didn't use and began reading about Prednisone that it helps with Inflammation took it and I'm feeling great and back to myself..  I know it's not good to take but it work for me ..."


"I have taken this medication for about 2 years now and it has helped me tremendously. Yes the first two weeks were hard due to nausea and diarrhea however because it controlled the pain I stayed with it. I weaned myself off at one point to make sure whether or not I still needed it but within a week of being completely off of it all the pain and muscle weakness came back so I went back on it (no side effects this time) and the pain went away so it works for me. However the Dr. said that I was his only patient who had the amount of relief I experienced with the lowest dose.  I also have Lupus (SLE) so it helps with the joint and muscle pain there too!! I say give it a try as I experienced the pain relief almost immediate"


"Went to pick this up at pharmacy.  They told me it was $90 with insurance.  WHAT??  $90??  Told them to forget it.  Last 2 times I did this it was about $5.00 for over-the-counter bottle.  Called doctor office told them I was not going to pay $90 for this stuff.  They gave it to me for nothing.  As we all know this stuff is nasty tasting.  Took it as directed and started getting cramps a hour later.  Drank about 1 1/2 glasses of water.  After an hour on the toilet, still had cramps and felt nausea.  That lasted till the second dosage.  Took it again same thing.  Only able to drink 1 glass of water this time.  This stuff was really bad compare to the other 2 times I had to do this. I rather go back to the over-the-counter prep than this."


"Be aware.  I was prescribed this med both for recurrent UTI's and prophylactic use.  After using it for years, I suffered full body toxicity and now have been completely disabled by this medicine.  I presented to the ER on several occasions, with burning in my hands and feet, and to my doctor.  Nobody made the connection.  I kept using the medicine.  I am now disabled with severe body wide neuropathy that appears to be permanent.  It is a living hell.  Beware using this drug long term.  It has ruined my life.  I am homebound with severe bodywide neuropathic pain and am in "pain management" with no relief"


"I began breaking out once I started my junior year of high school it affected my self confidence a lot and I am very much into the makeup and all that but after breaking out I rarely wore any of embarrassment I went to my annual physical and the doctor prescribed the tretinoin cream, I avoided it at first but I am about two months in and my terrible acne is going away along with the peeling and dryness, new skin is  under the shell and I am in love with it!!"


"I have had Nexplanon for a couple of months and I have to say it has been very effective. I am young and my mom even though disappointed felt this was the best for me. I have been bleeding everyday besides a couple of days at the end of every month. I also do get some of the side effects like back aches but they are bearable. I have gained weight but I do recommend this to many young girls and women. My boyfriend and I had an incident and I am not pregnant."


"People with anxiety are quite sensitive to reviews. I am a sufferer and thought the reviews might have been mildly exaggerated. What worked for me:

1. Took ONE pill. Crushing or cutting in half only reaches the stomach which severely limits the response of these pills. They are time released to work right when it hits the lower bowels. Do not over-exert yourself, the pill will work. Within 25min I had my first BM that was the bulk of my constipation. RELIEF.

2. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. This helps the pill to evacuate with cleaner results. Since is uses so much of your bodies own water, drinking helps greatly with staying hydrated. Drinking water also limits the amount of time your body has bowel contractions as mine were very, very mild."


"This is the second time I took Plan b, and let me tell you....it is effective but messes up your hormones and ph . I took plan b 3 weeks ago oct 16.. 5 days later i got what i thought was my period , that lasted for 17 days. Bleeding for 17 days was a nightmare. the first time I took plan b i got my period 5 days later and then again every 2 weeks for 2 months followed by a yeast infection. Now I think my period is over finally after 17 days i am spotting very lightly with yet another yeast infection. never once in my life have i had a yeast infection except for after taking plan b. I personally will never take it again  ."


"I am a 50 year old struggling through the initial stages of menopause.  The hot flashes and insomnia have been miserable and HRT is not an option.  My GP recommended Trazodone and I am so grateful!  The hot flashes seem to be cyclical with me so I can go months with no issues and then they come back, so I only use Trazodone at the height of sleep disruption.  I usually can take 25mg and it works fine, other times I take 50mg.  Takes about an hour for it to kick in and I sleep through the hot flashes, which are every 30 minutes.  Love this medication and it is so inexpensive!"

"I have trouble falling asleep, and staying asleep. I have tried lunesta in the past and it didn't work. It put a terrible taste in my mouth for days. I have been on silenor for 3 nights now, and it isn't working for me. I took 6 mg at 9 pm, and was still awake at 3 am this morning, hadn't slept at all. It has been this way for all 3 nights. I have again developed a terrible taste in my mouth, so bad that I am going off this pill."
