"I have found my stress tolerance threshold has dramatically increased since starting Celexa. Anxiety is better but not much."


"Zoloft has helped me to be more social and therefore make more friends. It also makes me feel less awkward and just overall more happy."


"I've been taking this supplement for about 2.5 months and have suddenly experienced substantial hair loss. I noticed more hair loss after showering over the past several weeks and after looking into this further, I was able to confirm this supplement was the cause. Super upsetting as my hair is approximately half the thickness of what it normally is."


"I got my Implanon inserted July of 2010 and now its August of 2011. I had no problems with it, no period at all until 2 days ago. I do get some mood swings and a loss of sex drive. But all in all I have had a great experience with it. I have not gotten pregnant on it, didn't have a period for a year. I would recommend this form of birth control to anyone."


"I was on Trileptal for less than 6 months because I was having trouble affording it at the time. What I can say is it helped with my moodswings & I didn't experience any side effects from it. Overall, I think this is a good medication."


"I have been on Copaxone for almost 10 years. I am very pleased with the results. Its the only medicine I have been on so I can tell you it works for me.  Like some of the other reviews I have had a few issues but nothing I can't  handle. One episode was after the shot, I had heart palpitations worse then usual. Only lasted a minute or two but felt like 20, soon after vomiting and headache.. slept it off and fine after. In all the years taking Copaxone the heart palpitations happened maybe 6-7 times. So I'm not going to complain. I grew up with an uncle that battled progress stage of Multiple Sclerosis. I wish Copaxone was around before his got to that stage.  Thanks shared solutions for making my life easier."


"It has helped alleviate fear and provide comfort and care when taken moderation. With you and your doctor's agreement"


"I have had ADHD since I was diagnosed in 2003  over 15 years of trying every medication for ADHD I have found a fit for myself and talked to many others that have tried different treatments I used to take 35xr with 10mg boosters now I take 3 10mg IR a day one when I wake up one at lunch and one before or around 4-5 pm the xr actually caused me to be irritable and didn't cause much change in my normal non medicated habits, unlike vyvance would. This works great for ADHD if you have a doctor or psychiatrist that is willing to figure out what dosage works for you. Eat before you take each dose."


"I've been taking Aviane for about 2 years and I have had a pretty good experience with it. My breasts have grown about half a cup size, it's been 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, and I've had no severe side effects at all. The only negative part about the medicine is that it has greatly lowered my sex drive, but I'm pretty sure most hormonal forms of birth control do that. I would definitely recommend this product."


"I have been using the 50mcg patches for about 2 years. They are a lifesaver and I found an almost fool proof way to get them to stick. I find that my thigh works best and I keep them shaved in the application area (I'm a guy so I don't shave my legs) but before applying a new patch I use a single use alcohol pad (for cleaning before an injection) and then once dry, apply the patch and hold for a good 30 seconds. They always stick and in fact on the 3rd day they actually hurt a bit coming off like a bandaid. I think the oil on your skin is what keeps them from sticking well. I also apply my new patch and leave the old one on for an extra 8-12 hours, which keeps the withdrawal symptoms to a minimum."


"Having struggled with crippling anxiety for a while now and after therapy not working, I decided to approach my doctor about meds. He suggested citalopram 20mg. I found this too strong and cut it down to 10mg- much better. After a few weeks, I am sleeping better, eating better and the anxiety is at bay- I was able to give 2 presentations with no issues and my thinking is much clearer now. The only downside is the side effects in the first 2 weeks can be jarring but once they settle down, the results are well worth it"


"I stopped by the chemist and had a chat, he suggested I try Finacea. This condition has been with me for more than 5 years - I am 37. Couldn't wait I put it on so I did so as soon as I got in the car - my face started to burn and itch! Oddly though in the mirror it was not as if my face was breaking out?! Ten minutes later the burning/itching stopped. Its been a week of morning and night routine and I could not be happier, its as if the condition has been completely cured plus I don't get the burning/itching any more when I put it on. I don't have red breakouts, even had a few drinks out the other night and no symptoms the next day!"


"Still have the occasional heart burn, but over all I love it."


"I've had both the cortisone shots and the Synvisc-One.  I believe they were equally painful, the Synvisc maybe slightly more, as the fluid seems to be quite a bit thicker so there was noticeably more pressure.  However, it's been well over 6 months and I haven't had any pain.  I've recommended it for my father and would recommend it if the normal cortisone shots don't seem to work any longer."


"I've been on Clonazepam for about 3-4 years and it worked for me but it put a severe damper on my libido. My doctor recommeded Pristiq, so I started the weaning of the Clonazepam and began Pristiq. After several weeks I can say there was no effect on my anxiety, thanks to the doctor for perscribing Ativan as a backup. One thing I can say for the Pristiq is it seemed to correct my irritable bowel syndrome. The doc said that the IBS is probably a side affect of the anxiety and the Pristiq stopped that. After reading what people posted about irregularity and the fact that my anxiety remained, I would have to attribute the results to a side effect rather than a sign of improvment. I'm now taking Cipralex for a week with better results."


"Works far better than any SSRI but I do still have symptoms of anxiety. I also take Diazepam when I feel an episode of severe anxiety coming on. Haven't been on it for that long though. Physiological symptoms like heart racing etc. Have already decreased so looking good."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I'm not sure if it is just me or not but I had a terrible experience on this pill. I didn't even finish my first pack and I had to quit taking it. I got terrible migraines every single day and it would make me sick to my stomach. It also made me completely crazy. The smallest things would set me off. The day after I stopped taking the pill my migraines disappeared and my moods were back in check."


"Within hours Myrbetriq resulted in normal frequency and stream of urine. I expected it would take weeks to works based on product insert. I was on Vesicare but this really works for me!"


"I have had post nasal drip for almost two years. I was first diagnosed with acid reflux and put on Zegerid. I took it once a day with no results. I was tested for allergies, with minimal results, endoscopy, etc. and they couldn't figure out what the problem was.  I even went to the head of a hospital in NYC for a second opinion and he said to increase the reflux medication.  Still no relief. My ENT suggested Patanase and within a week, the nasal drip was gone. It is amazing,  I would recommend this medicine to anyone suffering from post nasal drip.  No side effects whatsoever and I am a happy person."


"I have used Rynatan for the past several days and found that it has lessoned in severity and times per day of my cluster headaches. So far, no side effects."


"This drug saved my life."


"Works great. Raised my testosterone levels from 180 to 950 in just 2 months. I feel much better sex drive and I lost weight too, gets rid of belly fat, highly recommended."

"Every month since I have started taking Sprintec, I've gotten a yeast infection exactly one week before my period. Even with antifungal medicine, the yeast infections continue. I had never had a yeast infection before I started taking this medication. Also, I made no change in my diet and gained at least 20 pounds and moved up four cup sizes. Sprintec did help with minor acne."


"I have been taking CALAN SR 120 for over 10 years now.  My episodes of SVT occur at most a couple of times a year and then for short duration.  My pharmacy issued me a generic once because CALAN was not available and I had SVTs almost daily.  I was very glad when CALAN became available again.  I would not like to be without it."


"I have been using phentremine on and off for ten years now. I had a baby in 2009 and I had gained 60 pounds. I have tried all types of diets but was unsuccessful. So I started taking phentermine again along with a water pill and I am happy with the results so far. This is the best pill ever, if I could marry this pill I would, because it really makes me happy. I recommend this to anyone who wants to see results fast. "


"I have tried everything to help my acne, Pills, Proactiv, Clean and Clear, and other dermatologist recommended products. This product by far has done the best job at helping get rid of my acne. I have finally found something that helps my acne. I would suggest this to anyone suffering from acne."


"Took it twice and vomited both times."


"I've tried many diffrent antidepressants over the years and never found one that worked for me. After each pregnancy my mood got worse. I couldn't get out of bed and get anything done. I never wanted to do anything outside the house. I also would yell all the time due to irritability. Prozac has made me more calm. I don't jump right to yelling cause someone was " annoying me." When you first start it, for about 3 weeks u feel weird. Spacy, clumsy and I couldn't sleep. I lost weight right away cause I wasn't eating to fill a void. Don't stop cause u feel loopy in the beginning! It has changed my life. Me and my husband are getting along better! 1 NEG I twitch. My legs arms hips will twitch when I stop moving. I take 60mg. Helps me before my period 2"


"I just ended my second month on Yaz and won't be starting a third. While I experienced less mood swings and PMS symptoms than I had on Jolessa, my acne continued and even got worse and I recently had a panic attack - something I have never ever experienced before. What made no sense was that I was dealing with an extremely small amount of stress, so I knew it wasn't me. Overall while I was on it I felt more emotional than usual and a lot of fatigue. I can't wait to return to normal after it's out of my system. I gave it a 4 because I didn't get pregnant."


"So I got my copper IUD after much discussion with my husband who was against it. I realized I could no longer remember to take the pills with my RN schedule and did not like any other options but the non hormonal IUD. I brought my husband along for moral support, which I was thankful for. At 23 and no children, the pain was the worst I have experience, but for the short amount of time it takes to insert, it is bearable. Mostly I'm glad I'm covered for 10years because reinsertion would be awful.

I did not premedicate. The after cramps weren't so much painful as uncomfortable. I like being sedentary during my period...but these cramps after insertion were only relieved by activity (my husband and I were up at 2am still walking off my cramps)."


"I have been taking generic wellbutrin (purple pill) for about 10 days. I did notice an extreme decrease in the urge to smoke. I still have it upon waking but mostly it's just habit so far. I'm nervous about withdrawals. I just moved up to the 2x/day. Since the beginning I've been crazy hungry all the time. I'm pretty thin and my metabolism has always been high so I'm hoping to gain a little weight. I was cranky the first few days. That's starting to wear off. I do have mild feelings of agitation and I'm foot tapping which I never did before. Idk if it's the underlying withdrawal from the nicotine or not though. I do have more ambition to clean and exercise and I am not usually that way. I am hoping to quit in the next week."


"I have had Bipolar Disorder/Personality Disorder and severe depression for about 30 years and have tried just about every medicine there is. A recent set-back had me in hospital: my Dr. decided to put me on Seroquel XR 400 mg along with my other medicines. In the beginning it seemed  to help me, as time went on my symptoms of low mood suicidal thoughts, etc. came back...most important to note was the WEIGHT GAIN. In under a year almost 50 lbs for no real reason. Extreme fatigue and sleepiness-hard to get out of bed in the mornings! Am now reducing dosage to slowly get off it as per Dr.'s orders and switching to an alternative. I am hoping this will work."


"I had suffered from moderate acne for years that no matter what I tried, I could not get rid of. Within the first month, maybe 2, my acne cleared completely and since then my face is totally clear except for minor pimples that are easily preventable. I got on birth control to regulate my sporadic periods that always varied in flow and length. With taking Tri-Sprintec at the same hour everyday, I can actually predict my period on the day and within a few hour time window. It didn't actually lighten my periods much; I would say my flow on Tri-Sprintec to be moderate, and they last 5 full days so I do with they were shorter, but its okay. I didn't notice any side effects. Love it!"


"I started Levofloxacin 500 mg 10 days, I'm on day 5. I've been having trouble sleeping and a little bit of diarrhea. Yesterday I started to have random, deep pain in my forearm, legs, and right shoulder/shoulder blade. I'm thinking about calling my doctor to ask if I should continue taking it. It worked really fast other then those side effects. Which is great because I have a really hard time with other antibiotics!"


"Frova takes my migraines away every time I feel one coming on.  It's the only medicine, out of trying several, that works."


"I've suffered from depression for the past ten years, and terrible anxiety since a very young age (especially social anxiety). I've never truly felt happy for any significant period of time.  My anxiety can be so severe that I can't even leave my house sometimes. Certain noises, crowds, being out in public, can cause me extreme anxiety which leads to anger and irritability. I also battle alcoholism due to my illnesses. I've been taking Paxil for two weeks and after only 2 days my anxiety VANISHED. My mood is slowly lifting, and I have no desire at all to drink alcohol!! I've even lost weight because I don't stress eat anymore and my appetite has decreased. The first week or so I did feel drowsy/high, but that feeling is going away slowly."


"I take Ultram 100mg three times daily, it works most of the time. "


"I started taking this medication about 9 months ago and my blood sugar came down considerably which is a good sign and so far it is not showing any side effects. This medication is not cheap but it is getting more and more expensive every day. In last 9 months they have raised their prices 3 times.Today I finally decided to quit taking it because I can't afford it no more.My insurance is partially covering it but my portion is big too. I don't know if I can find any sub for this med, if not then God bless me!"


"I stayed tracking these to lose weight in 2011 went from a size 24 to 16 in 2 months. Went back to 18 cause in 2014 I had another baby, going to start these again.

All these it makes your heart pound ...... That's what's making you lose weight, cardio it gets the heart pumping with out all the exercise"


"This medication has saved my life, I feel so relaxed on zoloft. Works extremely well for anxiety, panic disorders. Makes me drowsy but otherwise its great, I would recommend this."


"DO NOT TAKE 3 LIKE THE BOX SAYS OR YOU WILL BE SORRY! I have never been constipated however new meds did a number on me. Read the box and I took 3 because I haven't gone on a week and I needed to go. Boy was that the biggest mistake. I had to sleep near the bathroom because my stomach was cramping but I was all popped out. Nothing left to give but my stomach feels as of I still need to go. 24hrs later my stomach is still cramping. Wish I read these comments before I tool them."


"I'm 49 - diagnosed at 13 with Ulcerative Colitis.   I've had 2 flares over the past 20 years.  Both times prednisone worked for me.  The most recent flare was last year...my doc was very hesitant to prescribe prednisone due to potential side effect (even though I told him I never had side effects in the past).  He tried a lot of things that did nothing for me....Apriso, Uceris, were medicines I remember. After suffering for 3 months he put me on prednisone.  It worked like magic within a week and a half!  Like someone flicked a switch, all of my terrible symptoms disappeared. Extra energy was the only side effect!"


"Started this drug one week ago today.  5 mg a day.  Have had a headache ever since.  Blood pressure has been low most of the time except in the middle of the day for some reason, it can shoot up the 130's and 140's.  Early in the day and evening its in the 110's or lower. I also take 25 mg of metoprolol (for years).  Headaches are getting worse so I 'm going to call my doctor tomorrow to see if I can try something else."


"I at first thought this would be a good "3 year plan" however I have had my period now for 5 months, headaches, 0 sex drive, and weight gain. Doctor wanted me to wait a couple more months to see if it stops but my energy level has dropped significantly and is getting in the way with being able to please my boyfriend. I can't say that wasn't effective because I'm not pregnant. I know several other girls that have no trouble with this birth control form. However I'm thankful I get it removed in a week."


"Actos 15mg   Metformin 850 mg works for me for almost 3 months now. Before I have fbs of 185 and 225 after meal. Now, almost everyday I prick, I got around 90 and 100 before and after meal. Better take these meds before breakfast."


"This med did absolutely nothing for me."


"This medication has worked to control my symptoms for severe restless leg syndrome far better than any medication that I have tried since I was diagnosed.
 The only time that I have breakthrough symptoms are if my patch came loose, or did not stick effectively, or if I was late changing patches.  Side effects -minimal. The only issues that I have with the medication is itchy, skin irritation at the application site. I have a sensitivity to latex and to some adhesives. The site after the patch is removed tends to be very angry red in color, & slightly raised. The irritation & itching may last for  1 to 2 days, up to a week.  I do wish that the patch came in a non-latex fabric vs the mylar. It would help w the irritation & flex on skin."


"It seems to be a great medicine."


"I had hiccups for 48 hours continuously and was hiccupping about 15000 times a day. I went to my GP and was prescribed Chlorpromazine. I was reluctant to try it at first because of the side effects but it did work after being on a 25mg dose three times a day after 72 hours. It does take a while to kick in and have an effect but it did work. Make sure you come off them slowly and gradually otherwise it makes you feel nauseous and sick. Your urine may also be a lot darker in colour and smell differently."


"My acne reached it's worst when I was a sophomore in high school.  When I went to the dermatologist I was given Accutane and immediately went online to read reviews on the medicine.  Almost every review I read said that it was ineffective with awful side effects and I almost didn't fill my prescription because of it.  However, I will tell you that it was honestly the BEST thing that ever happened to me.  It worked incredibly well with lasting results.  It was literally a miracle.  Of course I experienced some side effects such as back pain, slight hair loss, VERY dry skin and lips, but six months of mild discomfort was definitely worth beautiful skin. I highly recommend it!"


"I am just checking in again.  I started campral and naltrexone last fall after drinking for years, failing the traditional in-patient treatment/AA way...... I am now nearly 10 months without a drink.  I don't really crave alcohol.  Occasionally a stressful situation will come up and I will think about drinking, but that passes quickly because I just don't have the cravings or desire.  My life is so fulfilling.  It's not without it's challenges, which is why I have regular counselling in order to recognize and deal with what issues I let alcohol take care of.  I truly do wake up thankful for this relief."


"2 mg. wafers as needed, usually twice daily, stops panic dead in its tracks and as soon as I feel my thoughts racing, Klonopin Wafers bring me back to reality within 10 minutes."


"I am currently 24, I started birth control when I first started my period at 12 because of how bad my pms would get and because of acne. I've tried all kinds of birth control from Yaz to Ortho Tri-Cyclen and even the Skyla IUD which caused me to lose my hair!... once I found Gildess it was like a miricle. My pms was mild to none, acne was gone besides a few manageable breakouts, and I just felt amazing and had so much energy and I got into the best shape of my life. Even going through an emotianal breakup, my physical wellbeing was amazing.

Unfortunately, it has been recalled and now I have tried several new birth controls with no avail. I really hope it comes back on the market.. my life is honestly falling apart without it."


"Day one on this medication....had taken phentermine before, gotten to goal weight, then thought I could maintain on my own, with exercise etc. Had some winter weight gain and getting started again. My doctor asked if I wanted to try something new. At first made me a little light headed, but better as the day went on. Problem is now, I have to be up in a couple of hours and can't go to sleep!..Hoping this goes away soon. Tomorrow will take it a little earlier in the day."


"Have been on Cymbalta for 2.5 years.  The only side effect I experienced was during the first month with night sweats but none since. This medicine also dulled many of the aches and pains I was suffering, which was an added bonus."


"I love Mirena. I've had it for 6 months and I am SO GLAD I got it. I've had 2 vaginal births and don't want any more. Insertion was easy - just some mild discomfort. The rest of that day I had mild cramps, no worse than the average menstrual cramps. And that's it. No other cramps or symptoms at all. And best of all - no period! It stopped and I haven't had anything at all - no spotting or anything. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MIRENA."


"I have had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since 5th grade and until now (my sophomore year of college) I have had to use pills to keep it under control.  I will admit that I was very adverse to the idea of a self injecting medication, in fact, my doctor has been trying to convince me to use them for years and I have always refused.  Finally my doctor said that he thought it was the only good option left.  I couldn't be happier.  The injections are only once a week and they are virtually PAINLESS.  It sounds crazy but it's true.  The other amazing thing is that the morning after I had used the first injection, I was PAIN FREE. It worked that fast. If you're thinking about Enbrel you should really give it a try... you won't be disappointed."


"It gave me back a life, which I thought I would never have."


"I was originally just on the regular XANAX for year's and at first it helped and then it wore off and wasn't affective. My Doctor searched and searched for another medication that would be very effective especially because  I have "LUPUS" and have been having severe anxiety and depression I really had to be on something before I stressed my "Lupus" to flair up! So XANAX XR was recommended , and OMG this XR is so amazing and very effective.  I absolutely love it! It helped with anxiety, depression and sleep! I t works wonders and I totally recommend it to anyone."


"I take birth control pills because I have very painful periods. I've been taking them for 5 years, and I have tried many different brands. I just switched from Belara to Ortho Cept because they don't sell Belara in the country I am in.

The good: Belara gave me really bad nausea for the first week of the month. I have had no nausea with Ortho Cept so far. No acne, weight gain, or loss of libido.

The Bad: I had never experienced migraines with any other contraceptive before. This is my second month on Ortho Cept and I get migraines every day for the first 5 or 6 days of the month.

The Ugly: Belara made me cranky before my period. Sad/angry. On Ortho Cept it happens twice every month: at the beginning and at the end."


"The only pain medicine that really helps my chronic back pain (inoperable Herniated disc)."


"I've been on Concerta XL for 3 years now I have two large (36mg the highest dose for my age) every morning. I suffer from ADHD well ADD and it really helps me feel motivated and helps me look forward to things. I lost 4 ish stone and went from 16.7 stone to 12 in 4 years as my adhd made me eat when I was bored/sad/happy and It really ruined my life. I don't have an appetite anymore and only eat in the afternoon once it's worn off. I do drink a lot of fluids as on the tablets I get thirsty. I'm more social and i enjoy everyday activities a lot more including chores. Negatives : the come down is awful and I usually slip into a depression but it is worth it ! I'd recommend it to anyone !"


"When I started researching for stage fright medication, I was brought into this website & based on all the wonderful experiences shared here, I knew this was it! Last week I had to attend a conference as a panelist for 2 full days with a lot of discussions on stage. Based on the comments here, I popped a 40mg pill 1 hour before the start of the conference after breakfast. I was very calm on stage, spoke in length & was a hit with the crowd. I popped another 40mg in the afternoon after lunch & that kept me going good for the whole day. It is definitely not for those who are introverts & want it to work like alchohol! It is for those who have done their preparations but fail to deliver coz of their body letting them down at the crucial time!"


"My boyfriend bought this for his seasonal allergies & it worked great & he slept great. I suffer from several chronic pain conditions & decided to try this for sleep (which is hard to come by when you're in pain... painsomnia). I slept the best I had in months. I woke up feeling refreshed, with no drowsiness. I've used other allergy meds in the past to help with sleep, but they don't always work & when they do, I wake up drowsy. I'd love to buy a case of this, because each time I've taken it for, I slept great. I'm glad he found this product."


"It has helped a lot. I take 1000mg and my blood sugar has been in the normal range more consistently. 79 -173, a few 187-193, however it has made me feel all around better."


"I've had terrible anxiety with regard to public speaking. Heart races,out of breath, voice quivering terribly. I was asked to be best man at my friends wedding and propanolol completely erased all the symptoms. I had the most intense fear standing up ready to deliver my speech.I ended up taking 5x10mg tablets. 10mg at 2pm, 20 at 3, 10 at 3:30 and a final 10mg at 4. Speech was at 5. If youre reading this, relax, *you are going to be okay*. Propranolol will crush all these symptoms.

The only possible error you can make is taking too low a dose, too late on. Take early and top-up, if needed. Consult with a doctor for dosage, but aim on the higher side to be rock-solid sure of its efficacy if the event is extremely terrifying."


"I have been taking this for a few days and it makes me feel totally wiped out.  I have normal blood pressure usually and this just lowers it so bad that I feel BLAH.. I wonder if taking it before bed would be a better way to take it."


"Seems to work well"


"It is my first day on Kapidex and I must say I have never felt better.  I have been on Nexium and Aciphex with side effects.  It is just my first day so I can't say I won't have side effects but I have had a completely normal day and I forgot what it felt like to feel normal. Right now, today, life is very good."


"I have had GERD and GERD like issues since the age of 12.  I have been put on every medication available on the market only to have them stop working after a few short years.  Finally, about 10-15 years ago I started taking Aciphex - no side effects, no resistance... no problems at all.  My one and ONLY issue is the cost.  I have tried every generic and over the counter (supposedly) "equivalent" with no success.  "


"I Hate it so far. Been on it for less than a month. The irritability, stomach, gas, don't feel much pain relief... I'm hot, skin my face, ears, chest sometimes legs. Especially if I DON'T take regular. I'm more than a bit grumpy on this drug. I'm more depressed and upset. Cry easier. I DO NOT like it but I promised doc is try it. 300mg 3x a day. I can't hardly stand it at ALL but I promised. . I'm on fire now too even after the dose. It's awful but...I promised."


"I was on this for 5 days for anxiety, it gave me the worst panic attacks and ended up in A&E because they were so bad. Everyone reacts differently to medication and this just didn't agree with me. If it was my choice I would have come off after day 1, but doctor made me stay on it until day 5 until I broke down and couldn't cope. Now trying fluoxetine and seems much better so far."


"I cannot believe the negative reviews on this. They did scare me, but I still gave it a shot, and have NEVER been happier with a birth control! My acne is cleared up, my sex drive is still incredible, I have LOST WEIGH and my periods are almost NON EXISTENT! The only thing I wish is that I would have gotten on this sooner! I love this birth control and I suggest trying it before buying into the negative reviews. Everyone is different."


"Really good at back pain relief, but after extended use [ I have 2 ruptured discs] my skin started to tear easily, but I was in my 30's at the time. So I don't use for long periods but occasional usage is fine."


"I'm male, 52, and a diabetic on insulin. After developing severe peripheral neuropathy six years ago, I was prescribed Neurontin which did not work for me. After two weeks with no relief, I  checked into the ER due to intense pain. I was prescribed Cymbalta by the ER doctor and have never looked back. Within a couple of days the pain was gone! My feet and lower legs felt great, and the ominous feeling of intensified pain in the evenings had vanished. As for side effects, I sometimes have difficulty sleeping, and sometimes I feel a bit wonky-headed. However, those are easy trade-offs to accept in return for the pain relief I feel. Cymbalta continues to be my miracle medication."


"Nice."


"I think im in burning hell.  Its so bad i had to look up my symptoms to see if this is normal. Only to find bout 100 more people with the same feeling!  This burns soooo bad I swear i should have just gone to my obgyn and gotten an rx for a pill.  Im a 32 yr old woman crying real tears after using the monistat 3 day cream.

This cannot be a normal reaction to this I think they need to be sued!"


"I have been sick for over 4 years now and been on this for the past 2 weeks and its been a miracle. I haven't been sick or in pain once. I don't mean I just vomit, I start and I can't stop for 19 of 30 days. So far the minute I took one, that night I have been more relaxed and less sick have been able to cut down my oxycodone and Zofran so I am thankful. I will let you know how it continues to go but so far its my miracle."


"It works"


"Well after trying Paxil (worked really well but bad sexual side effects) for a couple years, then celexa worked but not as well as Paxil still sexual side effects recently on Prozac worked for depression however sexual side effects made me just not want to even bother. Got a script for Wellbutrin Xl 150mg brand name as I asked for non generic out of pocket cost 11.27 with insurance. Will report back and see how I do. Day one tomorrow. I put a rating of 5 just because of the unknown. Will rate when in full swing."


"I have been on Bactrim DS for 6 days (4 more to go) and was diagnosed with MRSA. I feel the medicine is working VERY WELL but my side effects are bad! I feel nauseous ALL day. I have a hard time eating. I feel like I'm pregnant. My stomach cramps, sometimes bloated, a little bit of dizziness here and there, and always feeling like I am going to throw up. I'm just really glad that Bactrim DS is working for my MRSA because I really don't want to go through different meds and then having to end up being hospitalized because I couldn't find the right antibiotics for treatment."


"I've been on this BC for 2 months now Anytime I eat I throw up about 30 mins later. It also has given me very bad acne. I used to not have any and now I get cystic pimples on the regular. For the first month it made me feel crazy because I was having mood swings but that got better. But I am switching BC now because I can't take the throwing up. I know that it could be great from someone but it wasn't for me."


"Been fighting alcohol dependence for 5 years now.  Finally went to ER and they detoxed me for two days with Librium.  Best thing ever!  Thank God for this medicine because it really works!  Now to find a good program for myself and maintain my sobriety.  Please never give up! You can do it!"


"This medication is a incredible for relieving physical symptoms. I went through years of struggling with various other medications and it was only recently a younger doctor said okay let's try this. Now I gave this a 10/10 for a reason but when I first started taking it (the 1st night) I felt high. The next day I had an incredibly low mood and sub-degree freezing temperatures which lasted 2 days before I went back to a doctor who said they are well known transient side effects that will go away after 2 weeks so I stuck it out and after a week and a half I felt so much better - my severe hand tremor went away, facial ticking reduced and my body stopped constantly pumping adrenaline! Note: I use in conjunction with mirtazapine."


"This drug has saved my life, I take 1 mg twice daily, I have severe anxiety and panic disorder that leads me to never leaving the house bc I'm scared of everything. This drug dug me out of a deep anxiety phase that was leading to very serious depression I was scared to tell my doctor that I was gonna kill myself if they didn't find something that worked I tried about 14 other meds with little to no success. Before my doctor said I'm gonna try you on ativan and see how it helps with my drug history this was a last choice kind of thing. He warned me about the potential for abuse and addiction, I'm aware of it and I never abuse the drug. I've been using ativan for 2-3 months now and I'm finally back into the work force finally able to drive again"


"My son was put on this medication that the age of 8. The first day he was focused however he kept licking his lips and would just stare  when being spoken too . I took him Off the medication . It's not for us."


"I am a 53 year old male diagnosed with hypogonadism and I had 4 injections so far. The first two were 200mg but lab tests after two injections still came up low (183) so I am now on 300 mg. Started home injections to avoid a trip to the doctor in between blood work. No problem but not for the faint of heart. I now have increased energy and am starting to feel more "normal" Coupled with Hypothyroidism treatment I have seen a leaner more muscular stature  start to emerge. My doctor also suggested Saw Palmetto along with the testosterone and that had minimized the minor side effect of body acne from the higher doses."


"Every couple of months, I get an upset stomach due to stress. I get a crampy stomach, full stomach sensation and irregular stools. Bentyl is gentle and just calms everything down. You don't really notice it working. The symptoms just fade off. I would say it is not helpful for nausea. In that case, I find that old liquid Pepto Bismol is the most effective."


"This medicine improved the quality of my life. I have interstitial cystitis. I have to use this twice a day for 20 years. It's hard when I change doctors to get it prescribed but I always get it. I would not live with the pain of this disease if it was not for this medicine."


"This medication started working immediately.  Within three days--more moisture. Within the next week, my interest in sex returned and I felt a major decrease in pain.  I have been using this medication for 5 months now.  Am I completely discomfort free?  No.  However, with use of a lubricant like coconut oil (best I've used) or olive oil (second best), both of which are the most like the body's natural moisture and some modifications in position or speed, this medicine has been a miracle for us.  Unlike when we were young, it takes more preparation to be physically ready for intercourse, but we've adapted to those changes.  I was/am frightened by the potential side effects.  The only drawback for me at this point is an increase night sweats"


"I certainly appreciate the drug interactions listed here.  That is something lacking from the other sites I've visited for my needs."


"I'm 18 years old. I have been on Adderall for about 3 years and it is amazing. I'm ADHD. I have tried Vyvance which did nothing for me. I have also tried Ritalin which caused a complete mood change. I had very depressing thoughts and a overall bad mood. The littlest things would set me off. I thought I was going to kill. Adderall is what I found right for me. "


"I have used Monistat 7 before but when I used it this time ....  wow what did they put in it? It was terrible. All of a sudden there was burning so bad I could hardly stand it. Then when some came out later when I went the bathroom it started all over again. It feels worse then when I started it!! Something is wrong with how its being made. This is not normal in my opinion."


"So I'm 13 (almost 14), and I've had acne all overy face for almost a year.  But strangely it's not the normal little bumps everywhere, I get more large under-the-skin whiteheads.  I tried pro-activ and oxy, which just dried my face out completely, making things even worse.  I also tried natural remedies, which also made my face worse.  Then a few weeks ago went to my doctor and he prescribed me BenzaClin...miracle product!! It's only been about 29 days and already I have no acne on my forehead, nose, and chin!! Anyone using this product I reccomend using Cetaphil's gentle cleanser (to counteract the dryness of the medication), and religiously wash your face twice daily, using circular motions (and drying with a new towel each time). :)"


"When I was taking this JUST as a smoking cessation aid, I couldn't sleep EVER. Not even when I took half the prescribed dose and took it early in the morning. It made me crash, made me irritable and couldn't eat. But now I take it for Major Depressive Disorder and as smoking cessation, and even on 2 tablets (300mg total) I fall asleep! and not at night time...it makes me fall asleep during the day, especially after it kicks in. I can take it at 5pm and fall asleep at midnight or even before, take naps, etc. This is the only antidepressant I will take, because SSRI's do not work one bit for me. They make me feel more depressed. Wellbutrin does help my moods though. I don't get fits of rage when I take this anymore like I used too."


"I've been diagnosed with moderate depression in December. I've been in therapy with a psychologist since October. I lost my job, didn't go to school, broke up with my boyfriend, I was pretty much a mess. I had no motivation whatsoever. I basically secluded myself. I started Celexa 3 weeks ago and WOW oh WOW. I feel so happy. People noticed that I've changed and seriously the first week on Celexa was hard but it's so worth it. Stick with it, give it a chance. The only problem I have with Celexa is that it takes me forever to achieve orgasm but whatever I still have a sex drive which is very good. I got my boyfriend back, yay. Now I'm back to school, found a new job. I mean I got my life back on track and I am so happy with the results."


"My sister hd the Implanon & it worked. So I decided to get it but they discontinued it. I've had nexplanon for a year now. At first it was constant bleeding & I thought it would go away within a few months cos I read that it took awhile to adjust but 5 months went past & I was so done with it. My doctor told me that maybe if I tried to take the pill with it that maybe that'll help it adjust to my body (I knew I would forget it some days) but now that my birth control prescription is up. I'm back to the same problem with spotting. Nw I just figure to just stop birth control all together & go back to condoms. The only reason I went to birth control cos everybody was saying be safe b t this is crazy! I have to be on 2 birth controls to adjust my period isn't safe!"


"Have applied very lightly once a day for 3 days now. And it's completely unbearable. Where my skin was perfectly fine before using is now red, scaly, and itchy. Absolutely everything hurts my face, even water. "


"I have Scleroderma, I have been very fortunate, I have had no side effects.  CellCept saved my life.My lungs were being destroyed rapidly by my scleroderma. After I started on CellCept my lungs have not gotten any worse in over 5 years."


"Ok so I'm a 19y/o female and, After a month and a half of super minor side effects (groggy, dizzy, no appetite) cymbalta started to work really well, however about a couple months ago I began experiencing mood swings more and more gradually. Now I have days where I'm in a completely crabby mood  (I don't want to do anything), or I'm in an ok mood (I'll go out and try to do a couple of things to build confidence), or I'm totally pissy and mean all day and I cry and flip out. (like literally cry and like threaten to leave him for nothing) My poor boyfriend who doesn't even understand the medicine (who tries to because he respects my choices) I plan on changing my medicine my next doctor's visit cuz the mood swings are making it hard to get a job."


"Picture this. You have a new bottle of Afrin in the medicine cabinet.  It's 2:00 AM and you have a stuffy nose. You wake up and go open the Afrin package to find that it is VERY tightly sealed. So, you use some nearby scissors to cut the tape and instead you cut yourself.  After a few minutes and some blood on your hands you manage to get the tape off only to find a complex system for the nozzle of the bottle.  Still half asleep you try and get it to work but fail.  You miss the old Vicks spray that had very simple nozzle, throw-away the Afrin and then vow to yourself to remember the name "Afrin" so that you never by the product again. You wonder if a lawyer was responsible for human factors design for Afrin, then try to go back to sleep"


"Do not take this pill."


"I have been on Beyaz for 4 months now after being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. I have lost 50 lbs in the last 4 months, my mood is better, my face has cleared up dramatically, I would recommend this to ANYONE!"


"I have anxiety disorder. Ativan 1 mg. does nothing for me. No side effects either."


"I was prescribed Lorzone and was given a sample by my doctor. I took medicine around 6 PM went to bed at 11. Woke up at 1 pm with a condition very similar to getting a piece of food stuck in esophagus. I could breathe, but was unable to swallow. My saliva became thick and foamy and  had to spit it into a cup. Had my wife take me to Emergency room. Had an endoscopy which when I woke up I was fine."


"Okay so I got the implant for two reasons: I was terrible at remembering to take birth control and my menstrual cycle every month used to be AWFUL (heavy bleeding, terrible cramps, committing, and heacaches). I absolutely love implanon. My monthly symptoms stopped and I only bled three times this past year for only a few days. I can't speak highly enough of this! It stopped by mood swings caused by hormones and this past year has been amazing.

I was so worried about getting it because there are some bad reviews of this. I was worried about weight gain, mood swings, and breakouts because I used to have severe acne. I did not experience ANY of those symptoms."


"I took Monodox for 4 days and I had to stop because it made me so nauseous. One night I actually threw up. I don't know if it was because I take birth control too, but either way it's not something I would do again."


"I was diagnosed with IC in Feb 2015 after suffering a stressful period of my life. IC hit me out of nowhere. I struggled for months to find an answer to my pain. Sadly in the back of my mind I even considered suicide (bad thing to say I know) The pain was so bad and relentless that I even considered quitting my job. My urologist did a the bladder DMSO instill and it did nothing for me. I tried numerous anti spasm medications and I was urinating around 30 times per day. I could no longer go grocery shopping, ride in a car for long or eat out . My quality of life was fading very fast. My urologist suggested Elmiron. It cost me about 160$ a month but its worth every penny as i'm about 95% pain free. I also cut sugar from my diet."


"I was diagnosed with Chronic Idopathic Angioedema in 2005.

I was 8 months pregnant and woke up one morning and my face was unrecognizable. I called my Dr and they said "oh it's probably just pregnancy swelling". I am an only child so I didn't know about facial swells. My husband came home and said this is NO pregnancy swelling. This was in 2003. It continued weekly so we took pictures and took to my obgyn. He had been practicing medicine for over 30 years and never seen anything like it,  I saw numerous Dr.s and was finally diagnosed. I was in the hospital and swelled up I was given over Benadryl. It took my breath away and couldn't speak. Another nurse came in and yelled at the nurse. It has 2 b given slow or its very dangerous"


"I had my Mirena inserted 2 months ago.  I am 23 and have never had children, and the insertion pain was not too bad, actually better than my normal cramps.  I'm still having very slight spotting, but no real periods since the insertion, which I'm very happy about because of my painful periods with likely endometriosis. I have a little cramping still, but not bad at all, and its usually only when there's pressure on my abdomen, like when I'm working out or need to have a bowel movement.  Also, I had to go on a non-estrogen form of contraception because I have migraines with auras, and I think these is a great alternative to oral contraceptive pills!  As a medical student, all the OB/GYNs I've worked with have talked about the benefits of Mirena."


"Had cognitive thought and short term memory loss issues.  "


"Until yesterday, I was prescribed .5 mg. Alprazolam(xanax) for panic, anxiety and irregular sleep patterns.  I took them for four years.
I went to my psychiatrist yesterday for my monthly suboxone appointment(6 yrs).  The same psychiatrist who prescribed my .5 mg.xanax.
I am taking suboxone for chronic pain issues from a MVA.  I had been on prescription oxycontin 60 mg, 2x's/d for 11 yrs. and that doctor retired...no doctor would prescribe a full opiate agonist and that was 5yrs. ago.
So I was told yesterday that he could no longer prescribed both xanax and suboxone due to state and federal guidelines.  This type of inappropriate prescribing is outrageous.
Has anyone else come up against this?
I never abused either medications."


"I am dx'd with bipolar II plus other psych diagnoses and have tried multiple meds since 2004 and all of them caused such horrible side effects that I couldn't take them. Now in 2016 I am willing to try again. I fought my Dr for many years and she insisted that If I would only listen to her that I would feel much better and not have to suffer with my rollercoaster emotions. The down is so bad now that I finally couldn't stand myself any longer so I  told her I'm willing to try Seroquel. I took it for a month only to find out that it causes VERY low libido. I know that sanity is more important than a libido, but come on!!! Isn't there an RX that works like Seroquel without the low libido effect? Help!!! otherwise this medicine is perfect."


"I started this 2 weeks ago when my period started. At first the cramps were crazy and random. The bleeding was heavy for the first 3 days but i was used to that with my normal period. After that everything is fine. I havent had any of the side effects everyone is talking about. The only thing i experience is hot flashes in the middle of the night. But those are better then having mood swings and everything else. I got the med to regulate my heavy periods and hormones and so far so good. i will let you know how next month goes"


"I started taking BC pills when I was 15 yrs old. Began using Sprintec when I was maybe 16 or 17. Either way I'm 22 now and am happy with my body and its' cycle. I get my period usually on time every 4 weeks (28 days). I do cramp, but lighter than off OC. I have never been pregnant to my knowledge, and I wouldn't say I'm remotely good with taking it on time or every day. Sprintec is very reliable in my opinion, I would recommend it to someone interested or looking at BC."


"At first the Camrese was great. It successfully treated my cramping, mood swings, and acne. The first two cycles I did experience some spotting, but it decreased and eventually ended. For about another 6-9 months I experienced nearly no problems with the Camrese. A little over a year from starting the Camrese I began to get significant spotting (and I would take the pill at the EXACT same time everyday. I also began to develop an insatiable appetite that would last a week before my period and a week after I started the new pack. What prompted me to look for other forms of BC was that my mood swings would occur a week before, during, and after my period to the point where I was overwhelmed with unexplained anger/frustration."


"My doctor prescribed me to try this pill as my first time in birth control. Initially I spotted for a good two weeks and when I did get my period it lasted few days and was into the next month of pills already. Side affects I've noticed though is I have not felt good, and as I already suffer from anxiety and depression this made it a million times worse. I don't necessarily recommend this pill but that's just from my results of taking it the last two months"


"Been on it for 13 years with a couple years break in between. No resistance, no side effects, easy to take."


"I've been on NuvaRing for 4 months now. It's amazing so far. I have always had issues with heavy and painful periods. I tried the pill years ago but was unable to remember it everyday. My periods are shorter, lighter, and less painful. I always got PMS before and I actually think these symptoms have improved with NuvaRing. I haven't noticed any sexual dysfunction like others have. I would suggest that you check placement after intercourse, because it can be removed. Give your partner a heads-up so they will know if NuvaRing comes out as well."


"Have used Flonase for the last year - I used to have to take decongestant that still left me stuffy and Flonase alone is the best! I would be so stuffy at night couldn't breath through my nose and this works! Love it."


"I was on Lo Estrin for a year. At first it was great. Then my period stopped completely, except for spotting all month long. It constantly made me feel pregnant. My breasts would hurt, I'd feel nauseous often, and the fact that I wasn't getting a period gave me great anxiety. Furthermore, I was experiencing anxiety regularly, and developed a sort of hypochondria- where I thought I was sick constantly. I think it was because my hormones were so out of whack. I am now on a higher hormone pill and don't have anxiety issues anymore. I really think this pill was my issue."


"Been on Lexapro 10mg for about 10 weeks and I still haven't felt any better. Really sad and frustrated."


"I gave up smoking in June this year, and put on a whopping 4 stones. My ankles swelled and I got out of breath by just walking a few minutes. Since taking Indapamide I feel much better. No swellings and best of all being able to walk without stopping every few minutes to rest."


"I had psoriasis when I was a child that cleared. When I hit about 40 it came back with a vengence...hands, arms, knees, scalp , face, back, etc. I tried everything except biologics that had such horrible side effects. One day I saw Otezla on tv. I wanted to try it so much but my insurance didn't cover it. Then I changed my insurance and it was covered! I got the starter pack and began taking the medicine. Within one week it started working! I was so happy...no more scaling and flaking, cracking and bleeding,or painful, itching scalp. I had some pretty bad nausea and more frequent bowel movements but it was worth it. Now into week 5 the nausea has subsided. Hang in there with the side effects and they will go away and oh what reward!"


"I got the nexplanon inserted in July 2014. Didnt get my period for a little over a month until August and I have YET to stop bleeding. Not kidding you, i have been constantly bleeding/on my period for 10 months and i want to rip out my ovaries. Dr just kept saying to stick it out but **** that. I have an appointment in a week to get it removed and have the Paragard IUD put in. I am not happy with this birth control. I have very few birth control options because i get bad aura migraines that are made worse by any BC that has progesterone. Lucky me. Nexplanon was my last resort before an IUD but now i have no other options seeing as how depo made me an overweight lunatic, the patch gave my blinding daily migraines."


"So I had a crazy college night where there was no condom used, I'm not on birth control, and this relentless boy literally came all over my area. I was freaking out. He bought me aftera the next day and I took it immediately probably like 6 hours after having sex. I read the reviews and started panicking because so many people claimed they got pregnant. Anyways a week later I got my period (YAY!) so if you use it when you should you'll be fine! Something to keep in mind is that most people that write reviews are people that have SUPER STRONG experiences with products. You're more likely to write a negative review if you're frustrated w/ a product rather then satisfied bc it did what it was supposed to so don't panic! (:"


"Like so many others, I tried it.  I tried at 10, I tried it at 20.  Nothing, except morning dizziness.
How tremendously disappointing.

I've gone back to my 2 Unisom's ( orange not blue).  At least Im getting a few hours sleep with that.

With as many poor reviews, you have to wonder who Merck paid off to have this thing approved.  I especially dislike the over the top packaging.  How much did that increase the costs?
Shame in all of them."


"Taking Butrans for 90 days....10 mg patch.....I love how it helps to control the highs and lows of sharp pain....keeps an evener feel"


"Took this for a year with no problems or side effects. It was amazing. I stopped taking any form of birth control for about two years. I took this again for a year and that's where all the problems came from. I started breaking out more and more each month. I had a rash along my hairline, my jawline, my back, my cheeks. It was terrible. It clears up a little during the "fake" pills week, but it's the worst acne I've ever had. I stopped taking it for 2 months and my face cleared up, so I knew it was the pill. I'm looking to switch to something new asap."


"I had Mirena inserted April 2011 6 months after I gave birth to my first child & still have it today. To avoid periods, birth contraceptive without weight gain it really works & highly recommend it for that. Otherwise, I just recently started experiencing the bad side effects which makes me think about removing it. Since a couple months ago, I first started bleeding which seemed like my period, & since then it's been non-stop but gradually turns darker, so now I have continuous brown discharge. Every time I sit on the toilet, I have to wait a couple minutes until the brown discharge comes out. Secondly, I've been having really bad mood swings. There's no in between. Either I'm happy or I'm so frustrated, it's really bad to be around me."


"Migraines have become my worst enemy over the past 4-5 years. Thank goodness for Imitrex. I started with the pills, then the nasal spray and have worked my way up to the shots (plus nausea medicines).  The pills had the least side effects.  The spray was vile tasting, but fast acting and I could take it while working.  When my headaches worsened, they added botox and upgraded me to the injected version. I needed something that acted FAST so I could stay in the classroom.  The down side to the injection is the head rush, change of hear rate, and the flushing feeling.  When I inject I have about 15-30 BAD minutes, then I kind of restabilize and about an hour later I usually feel better and capable of continuing to teach."


"Hopefully I can rate the effectiveness as a 10. I have had my second shot and both my arms really hurt for about 2 minutes but after that the pain was gone and no other side effects.
I think this is something that every woman or girl should get. It is really expensive and think a preventative like this should really be covered by healthcare or insurance at least (as mine is not and have paid $170 per/shot)."


"I started taking Linzess 3 weeks ago for IBS-C. I have suffered with IBS since I was 18 or so. If I didn't take anything over the counter I could go 4-5 days without a movement. My Dr gave me the starting dose which had little effect for me. Once he called in the 290 mg I can't believe the difference. Sure I've had a couple of headaches and bloating, but it has been a God send to me. No diarrhea for me at all. I am going everyday, sometimes more than once a day and have actually lost 5 lbs. I am also surprised see when people say they've experienced rapid weight gain because I've experienced the exact opposite. Glad I didn't read those reviews before starting!"


"I started gabapentin for nerve pain. My hot flashes stopped after having them for 5 years. It's been a miracle for me, my doctor hadn't heard it worked for hot flashes, but I can't go back to hot flashes that left me with sweat running down my face in the grocery store line or having to have my bedroom at 50 degrees at night so I could sleep somewhat comfortably at night."


"I like using Percocet for my back pain. It helps more than other pain pills that I've taken before. Lortab didn't do anything or Ultram. I do have a scheduled epidural for my back this week. So, hopefully when, I get that shot I might not need to take as many Percocet! I also, have to take Zanaflex, Muscle Relaxer's twice a day for my spasms. They just make you really tired. So, if you have to drive I wouldn't take the muscle relaxers. "


"I've only been on this a week but I can honestly say I've had zero side effects. In saying that it has made me very, very careful what I'm popping in my mouth!  This week I've lost 4.5lbs.  My aim is to lose 3 stone so some way to go, but it's going to be a journey and I know that - but I know it will also be worth it!"


"I have severe Degenerative disc Disease and Arthritis in my spine and my legs jump at night. I have been on everything and this medicine was literally a lifesaver for me. I can now sleep through the night and do not wake up feeling groggy or doped. I wish I had this medicine 2 years ago."


"I only take when needed but helps the pain alot."


"I complained to my doctor about visual and auditory hallucinations and he started me on Geodon. I had had them for some time, but they seemed to be getting worse.  I have had no side effects from it.  It has completely cleared up my hallucinations."


"I've been on lexapro for about 4 1/2 months now. I had really bad GAD and OCD I couldn't be left alone with my kids and wouldn't drive just from fear of pretty much everything. I am taking 15mg and it's working.. not as anxious and now able to be alone with my kids and now am driving. I am just pretty frustrated because since I've been on this drug my hair has fallen out quite a bit I have half the amount of hair I used to have.. (which is hard because I do hair) and I'm also starting to see the weight gain. But It has helped a lot with me mentally. I'm kind of scared to wean off. I'm just over my hair falling out."


"It's my first time on this medication and I must tell you that I experience no cravings at all for the heroin. Now its time to get off of the Suboxone!"


"I started taking the generic version 6 months ago.  I had to go to my doctor every two weeks for a weigh-in and to "earn" another prescription (had to show some weight loss).  The first two days were the hardest with nausea.  I felt tired but had insomnia. I did lose 9 lbs the first 2 weeks, but after that I have only lost about 1-1.5 lbs/week.  I began working out 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes to improve muscle tone and cardio fitness. The dry mouth and constipation were bad, so I began taking the pill every other day which really helped. I did not notice any increase in appetite.  So far I have lost 40 lbs.  My Doctor is thrilled and said I can continue with skipping 2-3 days. I plan on stopping when I hit 50 lb loss. I want to lose 100lbs total."


"My 7yr old daughter was having a horrible time focusing in school and was very overweight. The doctor started her on Metadate 20mg and had to eventually move her up to 50mg a day. It worked great, she lost the weight and focused great in school until this year. She went to a new school and the days are a little longer. The teacher and I noticed that the medicine was not working as well as it used to and was wearing off before the end of the day! The doctor said that she could not up the dose because 50mg was the maximum and wouldn't let the school give a second dose so she has switched her to Adderell XR and it worked great but she can't sleep. I miss the Metadate and am thinking about getting a second opinion."


"I have Bipolar 1 with psychotic features and have taken Lamictal for years. It is a great medication to control the symptoms of my mental illness. I had no unsavory side effects and my mood has remained pretty level. My doctor does adjust the amount that I take throughout the year, as needed."


"I have been suffering from PMDD since I was 13. Now at age 41 finally Yaz dramatically changed my life."


"My doctor prescribed lorazepam 0.5mg for anxiety brought on by health issues. I found this medicine to be very effective and helped me sleep and feel refreshed in the morning. I only take it if absolutely necessary. "


"I love "Levequin". It's the only antibiotic that cures my sinus infections and I have been put on everything. Some will start to work and then...nope.  I feel my sinuses begin to drain within hours after beginning Levequin. I started having sinus infections about 20 years ago and had a stroke 2 months after my sinus surgery (the only thing I got from it) the infections are thought to come from allergies to dust mites and dog dander which are everywhere. I hate though when a new doctor doesn't believe in using such a "strong antibiotic" or that it's necessary. I have failed college courses because of failing to get my "Levequin"."


"Diagnosed ADHD about 15 years ago. I have taken Concerta, Riddlen, Adderall, and just about everything else there is. Doctor prescribed me Vyvanse about a week ago and i have fallen in love with it. 20mg last about 6 hours so i will be looking to up my dose but non of the side effect that i had on the other meds"


"When you start it is great! After time, if you take breaks this drug can work well. Clearly, if you take it each day it is as good as useless for anxiety. All medical evidence shows this."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"As like others... i am on the comode typing this. Started my mix at 6:45pm i put some ice cubes in it, dont know what the harm is, its working just fine. My 1st bout was in 35 min I did get up a few times and realized my rear hurts like a sob make sure u have A&D ointment it does help. So grabbed my phone and started reading the comments. I actually drank it all down with no problem. Like someone else said it taste like a fruity ocean. My next drink isnt until tmw  at 6am.  Shoulda bought some baby wipes."


"I have just recently changed from Metformin to Janumet 50mg /500mg one tablet twice daily with food and have suffered from headaches nausea and some dizziness. I have seen two Dr's one advised to stay on metformin as its has maintained good results for many years and Janumet is still a more recent medicine in AUstralia. The other Dr advised that Janument will control my levels a lot better and decrease the situation of gaining weight even though in the early stage have some side effects. I intend to continue with Janumet for another month hoping for improvement, aged 70."


"I take the generic methenamine. I have not had any side effects and no new infections in months.  After years of various antibiotics and recurrance in a few weeks I am grateful this is still on the market.It was an Infectious disease doc (not my urinary doc) who prescribed it."


"I've been on this medicine for about a month and had little to no side effects. Just an occasional headache or stomach ache but nothing advil can't help. I have no breakthrough bleeding (knock on wood). What little acne I had before has cleared up and I have also noticed a change in the size of my boobs but no weight gain or weight loss. I can easily say I'm satisfied so far with this pill."


"Wonder drug, stops seizures, stops things that can bring on a seizure, stops pain after seizures, stops bad side effects of my other anti-seizure medicines. I could not take any other seizure medicines but Valium helped. Not enough sleep can cause a seizure and Valium helps me sleep."


"I am 35 years old and have been a smoker since I was 13 quitting once due to pregnancy. I was up to a pack and a half of cigarettes a day and one day I just had enough. I talked to my doctor about chantix. I started chantix  On April 24,2015 and by day 3 I was down to about 2 cigarettes a day, mostly because they were there not because I wanted them. I lost my best friend on may 10,2015 and on the 18th  I smoked my last cigarette that morning. I haven't touched one since and I am only taking one chantix every other day. Chantix really is the miracle drug. I am concerned about the long term affects of this drug,but the only thing I have had is vivid dreams(but not bad), constipation, and the gas is horrible, but I can deal with that."


"So I've had nexplanon for about 4 months now and it's coming out in 2 weeks. My first month was straight bleeding and since then I am almost constantly spotting. My sex drive has all but disappeared and I've gained almost 15 pounds. I'm moody and irritable and can not wait to get it taken out. On the positive end if you can deal with the side effects it is an excellent birth control. You don't have to worry about forgetting it and it last for 3 years. It's just not right for me."


"I have been on Implanon since May 2013 and altogether I have been on my period for a total of 6 months. My periods used to be super light and 3-4 days long. I have not gained any weight however I have lost all interest in having sex.  My boyfriend of a little over a year and a half is going crazy and I am also. I have read some other reviews on it and am glad I am not the only one. I will wait a full year before deciding weather or not I am going to take it out."


"This med causes me severe headaches and helps with anxiety some but the pain in my head only grows worse each day along with blurred vision and highly increased appetite and dry mouth. Not worth the daily headaches. Using an antihistamine for anxiety and blood pressure meds like clonidine, said to help with my adhd that does nothing for my focus,  is a mixture of insanity. Im over the vistaril after a month of more intense headaches everyday."


"When I had the paragard inserted it was the worst pain of my life.. I had a panic attack and I was screaming and crying. I had it inserted at planned parenthood so there was no pain medication, no dilation, not done on my period. I've never had a baby so that might have made it worse for me. Cramps and lingering pain lasted a few days after that. After the pain went away I loved paragard for my birth control!

Until I started getting yeast infections every month, sometimes twice a month! I had to change just about everything about my life to avoid getting yeast infections since I was now so prone to getting them. After one year I decided enough was enough and it was removed"


"Well, the pain on the nerve goes away pretty quickly after taking 150 mg of Trileptal, which I just started taking this year, because when I was told that I had trigeminal neuralgia last year, I didn't find out until the pain was almost over, but the medicine only lasts about 4 hours or so.  At first, I got a headache, which didn't last too long, so I didn't take anything for the headache.  What concerns me the most is that lately I have been getting pain on my ankles the next day after doing a 45 min kickboxing work-out and it's not going away, which I never had before. Today for the first time in my life I had a terrible pain on my pelvis that I couldn't hardly walk .  Hopefully the pain goes away soon, and I won't have to take anything, 'until next year'!"


"Quit smoking June 15th 2011. Chantex took the edge off the nicotine withdrawal. I had smoked for 40 plus years. I had tried everything but this did the trick. Don't be fooled, you have to want to quit."


"I just recently went to the doctor because I couldn't deal with my stress and anxiety. I have a son with ADHD and Aspergers he's extremely hyper. I love that kid to death but I would compare him to Dennis the Menace. After 8 years I think it just got to be a little too much for me everyday of constant stressed anxiety. So I started taking this medicine 5 milligrams 3 times a day. I'm trying to take it once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I have had no side effects and I feel wonderful! I feel like I have more patience to help my son and it has made me feel like a better mom to. I would definitely recommend trying this pill!"


"Hello I'm 27 year old female. I was diagnosed with panic disorder and GAD  when I first started college.   The walls would close in and I felt like I wasn't working and then was put on 20 mg of the generic lexapro. Let me tell you. The side effects for the first 3 weeks were horrible I would sweat and be anxious all the time.  I started taken 20 mg at night than after a week switched it to the morning . My doctor told me of the possible weight gain but I took the chance I did gain about 20 pounds  but the anxiety definately decreased after the first month.  Give this drug a try if your panic attack r bad"


"Wow.... Had Prostrate cancer and it was removed 13 months ago. Was still waiting for my erections to start but nothing. My doctor prescribed Viagra as well as using a pump. Viagra helped in getting the erection up but it would never stay. Would just as one would say peter out in a min. I also was prescribed some suppository things but the cost was out of this world. So next he had me try this EDEX. Wow, it works like all the above good ratings. Erection was up in under 10 min and lasted about 3 hours (great huh).... only problem was the pain. I was given the lowest amount... Guess its not for me. 10 was because it works, a 3 because of pain."


"I'm on day 3 and the only side effect I have had is itching, everywhere. My urinary tract infection is better but not gone yet."


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"I have not been dizzy or fainted even once since the 4th day of taking Fludrocortisone and Sodium Chloride. Works great for me so far."


"Lyrica has been a life saver for me.  Prior to being prescribed Lyrica, I was living with terrible burning pain because of vulvodynia.  Lyrica provided me with the relief I did not get from any other drugs.  I can now enjoy life with little to no pain.  I am so thankful that I was prescribed Lyrica."


"I suffer from frequent migraines, several times/month. Every couple years I seem to get a massive headache that last day, after day, after day. My regular medication (sumatriptin) does nothing. It's then I head to the doctor or the ER and sometimes they will give me an injection of Nubain. That's all it takes. Headache goes away pretty quickly afterwards. Whew!"


"My doctor gave me the injection in his office.  I take no other meds for my diabetes (type 2).  A1C was around 10, triglycerides were 3000, cholesterol was 541.  I also have acute pancreatitis, and later read this med was not good for this pre-existing condition.  That night after the shot, I became ill, lower back pains, an extreme full feeling in my tummy, nausea, and dizziness.  He also prescribed tricore to get my triglycerides down.  I have been sloppy with my diet, and I know what I need to do to change my eating. I honestly can say, after reading other reviews, that this drug scares me, and I wont be buying more.  629 drug interactions I read about on another site and me being fatigued and in a fog for three days, I say no more."


"Did not work for me."


"I was on this pill for 4 months. The pros: periods were light and predictable. The cons: nausea and hair loss/thinning. After the results of the hair situation I got off of this pill."


"I am 49yrs young and was prescribed this med. for long lasting, extremely heavy,  clotting periods, at my wits end the Dr prescribed 2 tab (TDS) 3x daily, its has been 24hours now, what an improvement!! I noticed improvement overnight I went from using super pads every 2 hours to a panty liner today, no side effects (as yet).. what a relief, I wont use it all the time but its good to have hand when need."


"This is the 3rd day of my medication. This is so far the worst antibiotic ever! I have nausea, bloating, diarrhoea, headache. I cannot eat anything."


"Works very well for me, my skin got better. I used to have breast tenderness 10 days before period and very bad stomach cramps first 3 days every month, now it's gone. I have been on Tri-Nessa for 1 year, it hasn't made me gain any extra weight, don't have any mood swings."


"Being 32 and having cancer four times, I realized that I had a serious anxiety disorder. I did not believe in a "pill" but eventually, I realized that something had to change. I tried Welbutrin for a while, which made me feel bipolar and then I switched to Lexapro for several years. The problem with Lexapro was that I didn't feel anything good or bad. I know that you might think that's a blessing, but it's truly not. After gaining over 20 pounds, my doctor suggested that I switch to Cymbalta, which I was very nervous about, but I knew something had to change. I have been on Cymbalta for 3 months now and it is working. I think the worst part is the constipation! I also have broken out in several rashes on my face while "drinking.""


"I have been on it so a for over six years. I am 44 years old and suffer from chronic migraines, degenerative disk disease, fybromyalgia,and more. I get tight muscle knots in my neck muscles that cause me terrible pain, causing headaches and stiffness. Soma has been a miraculous medication, allowing me to function better and live a more productive life. I have tried other muscle relaxers but like Soma the best because I do not get tired from it. It has been a blessing."

"Better than any other birth control I've tried! Definite breast tenderness, but to balance that I've went up a cup size. The first month I had mild nausea. On my second month now and no side effects, besides possibly canker sores....I've had one the past two weeks as soon as one started healing another showed up. Since this is unusual I think its possible the two are related. Overall worth it to avoid getting pregnant!"


"So I've been on Genvoya now 4 weeks since I found out I was HIV Positive, I  started off in February 22nd ,with a VL of 119,000 and a CD4 count of 156. After these number I started treatment a week later , in conjunction with a mild Hyperbaric treatment 2 time a week for an hour.   My new labs taken March 13th  were VL 1520 and CD4 count of 451 , My Dr was so surprised of an amazing recovery. I  was starting to feel really sick prior medication, started on Bactrim in conjunction with Genvoya , had a terrible reaction to Sulfa ekkkk...stopped that asap
The only side effect is feeling a bit tired sometimes and skin pimples but nothing serious and would go away as the day progress... I do get very hungry.
I give this med a 10!!"


"Celebrex is great for pain, ten out of ten - but for me, it has unwanted side effects, such as stomach bloat and hair loss. I was on it for 3 years, and came off of it, and now I am back on it because of the pain.  But, I am going to try some other osteoarthritis medicines, and hope for less side effects. I'm female and the side effects of Celebrex are terrible."


"500 mg , two times a day for 7 days.
Medicine worked very well but made me very tired, a little headache and didn't have much interest in doing my usual hobbies. I was my usual self after the 7 days but overall happy with the medicine."


"Horrible horrible horrible. I was prescribed this as I interact with most antibiotics. It got rid of my UTI but I was sick, had a 38 degree temperature, major shakes. I still feel lethargic and sick so for me the cons outweigh the pros. I did finish complete the course as it was only for three days- had it been a seven day course I would have stopped taking them."


"I had been worked up for weeks about getting Kyleena inserted. I even called to cancel my appointment because of all of the things I read online about how painful it can be, but I decided to go in this morning and see how things went. My Dr. prescribed Oxy and valium for me to pick up at the pharmacy and told me to come back in an hour. I kept breathing really heavy and deep and talking to the nurse holding my hand. The whole thing was not nearly as bad as I thought!! IF YOU HAVE PERIOD CRAMPS, THEY ARE THE SAME JUST A BIT MORE INTENSE! I think the reason many girls say it was the worst pain they've ever felt is because they've never experienced moderate menstrual cramping. It was just a sharp, intense menstrual cramp only for a few seconds"


"I have used this drug for over 15 years. I have asthma triggered by inhalants and the original version has totally controlled my symptoms. I used the generic when it came out because of cost. I started having mild asthma symptoms within a few days. When my local Target switched to another generic I developed hypersensitivity pneumonitis which was diagnosed after over $20,000 in lab work and a bronchoscopy. Back on original singulair..and no problem again. It really controls my asthma and allergic reactions."


"Nocturnal Grand Mal Seizures with Tremor for 35 years. I have been taking Vimpat for 3 years with limited success. At times I have had headaches, dizziness, vision problems, weight gain, tongue swelling to name a few. I was taking 300mg morning 300mg night along with 1200mg once daily of Aptiom (the new Tegritol with a twist)  No problems until 4 months ago. My knees started swelling and my joints started hurting like a severe pain I have never had. All the muscles in my legs started cramping at the same time. I went down to 150mg. of Vimpat twice daily and the swelling went down but not away. The pain is less but still there. The trouble has to be the Vimpat because I have been taking the Aptiom for only 2 months. Hope this is helpful."


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 6. I was extremely against trying medications, but after an extremely difficult kindergarten and start of first grade, I decided that it was worth looking into. My son was miserable, and it broke my heart to see him coming home everyday in tears. We tried a variety of behavioral interventions, but nothing worked and my son was not happy. We decided, based on a friend's advice (her daughter had success with concerta) to give it a shot. OMG! It was like night and day! Slight decrease in appetite initially, but other than that, it's been a godsend. Wishing all you parents the same success we had!!!!"


"I've experienced a slight increase in blood pressure, but no other side effects.  I'm feeling more focused and energetic."


"I was diagnosed 9yrs ago as being Hypo. About 2 yrs ago they diagnosed me with Hashi's. I started out on Levothyroxine, soon realized I couldn't take generic. Switched to Synthroid. My levels were consistently off every time I went to get labs done. Kept upping the meds. I asked to switch to Armour...was on that for about 9mo. Just recently got my results back. My TPO was a 289...supposed to be below a 34. TSH was a 37.590 supposed to be between 0.450-4.500. My doc is pretty much baffled by these results. Since I have been taking thyroid meds for 9 yrs. She switched me to Nature-throid and I've been taking it for about 7 days now. I'm on 195mg. I'm praying these meds work."


"Complera is the only medication I have taken. At first the side effect were horrible terrible headache, bloating and foul smelling gas. Eventually those side effects when away but I did notice that I have been losing fat in certain places. Like my face, stomach and arms. My doctor basically dismissed my concerns but I know my body.  I started taking a some protein and working out hoping this will counter act the medication. I like Complera but it's not worth a change in my appearance."


"It works great for the bladder infection, but the only thing..I itch like crazy in my hands first, then feet, my head..I was on them about 3 weeks.call my Dr.she had to stop them. Short term was fine. But over 1 1/2 weeks is when the itching started . Never take them on an empty stomach."


"I am 18 and have been on a daily dose of 25mg of Zoloft for about two months now. Anxiety was literally making my life hell. I cried all the time, had crippling panic attacks, and had terrible derealization/depersonalization. I was hopeless, but afraid of taking medicines. I'm so glad I did anyway... I have only had one side effect, a bigger appetite, and I could feel a huge difference within a few days. It literally gave me my normal life back. I want to share this everywhere to help people like I know I needed help. Talk to your doctor."


"I have to brag on chantix. I smoked for over 52 years and I no longer smoke, thanks to chantix."


"Well a good medicine if taken in time to stop pregnancy but the side effects it hurts.  I had cramps and headaches which are terrible for me."


"My husband and I have been using the natural family planning method for years as birth control gives me horrible migraines, we have 4 children and we were not planning on anymore. ( we try to avoid intercourse during the possibility of ovulation. In the heat of the moment we ended up having intercourse the day I was ovulating. My cycles are 28 days, very easy to predict when I'm ovulating. I took the CVS brand Aftera, right away, like an hour later, only because they didn't have Plan B. Aftera does NOT work, I am now 7 weeks pregnant. I'm not overweight, I weigh 135lbs. I've taken Plan B before and it worked. Don't buy Aftera, spend the extra money for Plan B or go to another store if they don't have it."


"I started getting anxiety attacks and my doctor started me off on 10mg of celexa. The first few days, I noticed I had more anxiety and it made me really sleepy and groggy. After a few more days, I noticed it made me not want to get out of bed and lost almost all appetite. I was forcing myself to eat and ended up losing 9lbs in 10 days. By day 10, I couldn't take it anymore, I knew something wasn't right and celexa was making it worse and making me feel worse. I went to my doctor and she told me to stop right away, that the side effects shouldnt have lasted that long or made me feel depressed. It didn't work for me."


"This mood stabilizer saved my life"


"Ended up hospitalized for 5 days due to major leg pain in both legs"


"I have had Gout since I was 23, I am now 48. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work. My body would not accept Allapurinol no matter how long I stayed on it, it caused bad flare ups. Uloric has been a Godsend! I almost forgot what it was like not to be in bad pain everyday. My uric acid level is now down below 6 and I take 40 mg of Uloric daily. I reccomend Uloric to anyone that has gout. A truly great medicine that is priceless to me."


"I have been on this pill for 4 days and so far I love it. I use to take tri previfem, which had different levels of hormones throughout the package. So far, I have had no irregular bleeding and very little nausea. I have had an increase in vaginal discharge,  but nothing a pad won't solve. I have had an increase in appetite as well, and small mood swings. I highly recommend this pill. I have had a much better experience than I did with tri previfem."


"Everyone's Experience with a drug will be different. In my case, being a 6ft, 170 pound male with depression on 50mg of zoloft , I had a good experience. It wont be the same for everyone but you have to hang in there until you find the right medication. I tried lexapro previously 10mg and it was too intense for me. Zoloft is a little bit softer and less intense (for me anyway) . The first two weeks sucked , I had increased anxiety and it was hard to sleep but it was worth it. I was going through withdrawal syndrome from lexapro (i stopped taking it) and the zoloft cured me in about 3 days. it has helped my depression alot, and a little bit of my anxiety. I want to stay on 50mg as long as possible and i am hoping this will last.  I"


"I have tried numerous medications and everything has failed. I got Botox January of 2016 and it wore off 3 months later. My bladder has reverted back to how severe it was. I do not recommend Botox to anyone."


"I took Zyban when it was first released in 1997.

For those wondering if it works ?  My habit was two to three packs per day. Smoked non filters for 41 years.  Even spent over a $ 1000.00 dollars trying to quit with other programs. Obviously no luck. Could not even slow down. Then I tried Zyban when it first came out, as a last resort.

  Thanks to Zyban the only way to loose your desire to smoke, I now am about to celebrate 20 years without one smoke.

 If you wish to quit and haven't been able use Zyban you will quit, if you really wish to.

                                                                        Michael a true believer"


"This stuff is horrible!!!! I was prescribed this for scalp psoriasis and it made it worse. This stuff makes a mess it gets all over clothes and bedding not only that but it does not wash out of hair. I washed my hair 8 times and even used Dawn dish soap and still could not get it out of my hair."


"This did nothing for me"


"I have been taking Lortabs for 2 1/2 years and it works for my headaches."


"I have been on Loestrin for about three years now and all in all it's not a bad pill. One thing I would have to say though that I hate about this pill is the weight gain. In the first six months of this pill I gained 25 pounds! I was always a skinny girl, so you can imagine how awful it is in six months to go from a size three in pants to a size eleven. After that I have not gained any weight, though it has been very hard trying to lose the 25 pounds. More things that I've noticed that I haven't liked are mood swings at least a week before my period, tender breasts, and irregular periods. It's been two years for me on this pill and I will go three months sometimes without having a period. Aside from the rapid weight gain this pill is okay."


"Had to go off this drug, because it gave me severe neck pain along with headaches and nausea. I was on 10 mg"


"I had this inserted in January this year. I am getting it taken out because I cannot handle it any longer. I have been bleeding for months on end, with like a 2-3 day window of normality. It was really the only birth control I could take so I really tried to stick it out, because they say after 6-8 months it should settle. It hasn't. I really hope this works for some people but it has made my life so difficult. Mood swings, anger, irritability is through the roof. Good luck, I hope you don't have the same experience."


"I have used this inhaler because it is over the counter and much cheaper than any prescription. It gets the job done, however it tastes horrible and sometimes causes a weird numbness in the throat for a few seconds. Thought it might just be me, but two other people agreed with me."


"I've experienced a confusing period but its a lot less than before I got it as well as less cramps. In the beginning I gained a pound or two but realized its only because Implanon made me more hungry so I regulated my eating patterns and now I haven't gained any weight. Sometimes I might feel pregnant (since some of the symptoms relate) but I'm generally paranoid when it comes to my body. I love my Implanon and I'm greatly satisfied with it. Glad I got it best thing ever."


"I have been taking Yaz, now Gianvi for 5 yrs now and still love it. Acne is pretty much gone except maybe an occasional blemish every few months but nothing severe and goes away in a few days. Also, have not had my period for pretty much the whole time which is awesome and no "PMS" at all. I would like to try and have a baby so am not excited to go off of this and scared my acne will come back. For now though, am enjoying what this does for my skin."


"I was originally prescribed ATARAX for poision ivy. I also suffer from depression and anxiety. I take CYMBALTA daily & VALIUM as needed. I was pleasantly surprised when starting ATARAX. I noticed after my first pill having a more clear head and being more productive. I didn't connect the two until later reading up on its other benefits. Anyway, I haven't had any side effects at all on ATARAX and it has been added to my daily Meds. If I'm more than 4 hours off my CYMBALTA I will get a nasty headache & would be a withdrawal nightmare but it's the ONLY thing that has helped my depression long term & I've tried "everything" so I am thankful & Im sure to take my Meds on time! Goodluck!"


"I got my Implanon in May. I was on my period when I got it so I hoped that it would stop soon. It went on it's normal cycle and then totally stopped. About 5 weeks later I started spotting and it continued for about 3 weeks with little breaks in between. It stopped for about 5 more weeks and now we're on with the spotting again. I've had massive mood swings and it's getting a little uncontrollable. My friends love it and as far as I can tell, it will all level out soon. I recommend it if you don't like remembering to take pills or such. I'm happy that it's pain free and sometimes you'll forget you have it. Just remember that it's going to be different for everyone."


"I went on this BC because I do not get regular periods, usually just random light spotting. I wanted something to regulate it. I started it and 3 days later got the worst period I've ever experienced. Lasted 10 days (I stopped the pill after 7 days) with heavy bleeding and severe abdominal cramps, very clotty. Lost my appetite and got acne in places I've never had it before, like my back and chest. After that period ended I decided to give it another try. Exact same experience as the first time as well as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheaded and constipation. Stopping it immediately and going back to my doctor."


"Symbicort worked wonders for me, but when I talked my voice would trail off.  And I had to clear my throat to get my voice back.  Sometimes my voice sounded scratchy as well.  Doctor recommend I washed my mouth after each use.  But it still didn't work.  I am in sales so talking is important and had to change to something else."


"I started on Yasmin, then switched to Ocella when it was released. I had no issues with it. It helped my cramps, shortened my period by 2 day, and helped clear out my skin. I gained no weight (but was eating very healthy and stayed active). I stopped taking it for 2 months to have a surgery, got pregnant, and am back on it now. I have never had any moodiness, and it has helped with my time of the month migraines I would get. I would recommend this to anyone. FYI, I started on this when I was 24 and am now 27."


"Excellent medicine, stops the cough, give it 1/2 hour to kick in, then it will put you to sleep."


"I had very mild yeast infection symptoms, and decided to use this product to try to end it early. I first used the Monostat yeast infection test to make sure my suspicions were accurate. I inserted the medication at about 11 pm, then went to bed. I was woken up around 2 am by severe itching. I tried using the cream, but it didn't help much. I was pretty worried, so I looked up the medication online and found these reviews. I decided that I would worry if the itching remained in the morning, and returned to sleep. Thankfully, I felt great when I woke up! Seems to have worked like a charm, but the itching was unpleasant."


"I've got to say this medication as helped my cystic acne a lot. I am 22 years old and have been suffering with acne for two years now. I would get cystic acne all over my cheeks and it would hurt so bad. I got prescribed this medicine and the first week my skin went through a purging phase and it was breaking out a lot, but no cystic acne. Now on my second week, I'm getting bad side effects. I'm extremely dizzy all the time, lightheaded, and confused. I don't know why I'm getting these side effects now, but I am miserable."


"The negative side effects were too much to deal with. I couldn't handle the IRRITABILITY, agitation, depression, decreased libido and penis size, constipation, chemical odor in my excessive sweating. I couldn't remain in a deep sleep at night, feelings of helplessness and insecurities only when using Strattera. Sadness and I can understand how suicidal thoughts tend to develop on this medication. There was a slight increase in my concentration. After discontinuing abruptly the most intense nightmares and sleepless nights followed. Good luck, I hope you're one of the fortunate ones that this medication worked for. I am a 30 yr old male."


"I have been on Xulane for 8 months. The first few months included cramping, nausea, and terrible migraines after removing the patch for my patch free week. I gained a few pounds and my body has become more womanly and curvy. My boobs have gotten larger and more perky, and my butt has gained weight. Acne is very minimal, if any shows up. Now, my period comes exactly 3 days after patch removal and around the same time of day, which is great! However, I get nauseous sometimes and a little crampy before my period. My period has not gotten any lighter or shorter. Occasionally, I get super bad migraines the day after patch removal. I've had a little spotting after my period. I absolutely love that I can just apply it to my skin!! So convenient"


"I first took Yaz when I was 17. It was my first time taking birth control so I didn't know what to expect, but it was HORRIBLE. Everyday I took Yaz I fell sick with nausea and couldn't do much of anything without the fear of throwing up. Finally, when my symptoms obviously were not going away, mom called my doctor and told them that I needed something else. They then prescribed me Loryna. I never had any problems with it, and I've been taking it for three years.

Unfortunately, due to a change in my insurance, I had to stop taking Loryna because it wouldn't be covered anymore. So today, I found a package on my doorstep, and inside was Yaz. I'm too terrified to start taking it again, so I need to talk to my doctor as soon as I get the chance."


"I received the nexplanon in Sept. 2014 when the doctor explained to me that he wouldn't be able to tie my tubes. I bleed for three months straight. After I would still bleed I after sex, which lead to a non existing sex life. When that finally stopped I instantly gained  about 30 pounds. So I started working out everyday  and everyday after working out I would bleed. Still no matter what I did I couldn't lose weight. Now that the bleeding is gone I still cant lose this weight and I have massive headaches at time. With that said I will be getting mine removed this month.
Good news I haven't gotten pregnant"


"I have been on Loestrin for about 9 months now and took it to both reduce my period and birth control. I used to get my period for 7 to 9 days and it would be extremely heavy to the point I had to change every hour to 2 hours. Yes I know horrible, and ever since I started taking Loestrin I have mt period for 4 days at the most and it's super light. When I first started the pills I still would bleed a little between periods but after about 3 months all that went away. I used to forget but I use an alarm now and it works, I never forget now. I haven't had any side effects, no weight gain but I haven't gotten my period this month and I'm not pregnant. I would rather have my period for at least a day so I wont get scared that I'm pregnant."


"I have been taking Saxenda for a complete week today. Saxenda has been a good experience for me so far. I have lost about 5lbs so far no side effect right now. I take Saxenda at night so I won't get the side effect. I will check back in a week."


"I have had Implanon for about 3 months and I LOVE it so much. You don't have to remember to do anything and I have little to no side effects. I haven't gotten a period for two months which I have seen is normal. I don't have mood swings. It's wonderful. I'm only 18 so it was good for me to use while at school and with all of the things going on in my life!"


"Bystolic did not help lower my blood pressure as my other blood pressure medicine just recently had to be doubled. I have taken the medicine for 10 months and at my last doctor's appointment I realized I have gained 22 pounds in the last 10 months without any changes to diet or activity level. Also I have felt disconnected from my life and have had absolutely no sex drive.  This medicine is not for me. I paid $50 a month for a drug that caused me to gain 22 pounds that I now have to lose."
