"The experience of getting the implant in was near painless, if you look away all you'll feel is the numbing shot, but I watched and it was a simple process a bit of blood a bandage and they send you off. For the first 2 weeks I was spotting from the change of birth control, but nothing too terrible. (Have to wait 2 weeks for effectiveness). It's been 3 months now and no complaints, I did break out A LOT more then from being on the pill, but not to far off from what I had before pills. Slight weight gain, but went away easily. Haven't spotted or had a period since, knock on wood. It is simple, easy, effective and you can't see it, after the bruise goes away, a week and a half or so. I highly recommend it, only $50 copay, that is paid for all doctors appointments."


"I was seen yesterday by my g.p and was given nitrofurntoin modified release I am 65yrs have had prolapses surgery have had a prolapsed bladder for 10 yrs I

I continue to get uti s

I took 1 100mg cap with my evening meal within about about an hour my heart rate was through the roof I had got pain round my chest trouble breathing light flashing in my eyes face and lips swelling I started to drink a lot to try to flush it out  but things got worse I went from very hot to very cold when I shut my eye to try to stop the flashing shapes kept rush at me it was awful I have not slept at all and feel so very unwell as if my whole body is shutting down even thought I am still drinking my mouth is very dry  at least the body tremors have stopped"


"My husband and I are on day 7 and it's the first day I've not had a cigarette, by days 3 I was already down to only 3 a day (first thing, after lunch and after tea) and doing it together has definitely helped. Like other stories on here (and doctors warnings) we have both had extreme nausea, headaches, nightmares and inability to sleep all night but you know what if it means I won't be smoking again I can put up with those for the short term. After 20 years of smoking it finally took a doctors warning due to mild emphysema to get me to quit, for others out there don't let it get that far. We didn't pick a quit date we just went with the flow and let our body tell us when we had had enough, when I try to smoke now it just makes me feel sick"


"It helps with my narcolepsy but isn't strong enough. I can still fall asleep almost anytime."


"A small red and gold tablet taken orally twice a day. Dosage depends on body weight.

During the first couple of days causes a persistent headache which can be quite severe. I also experience dry skin while taking this drug. other than this I can think of nothing detrimental."


"I have had this implant for a little over a month now. When inserted, I began feeling the effects later that day. Already was I experiencing mood swings. It wasn't until a week or two later that I began falling into a sort of depression. For a whole month I was incredibly sad. I cried everyday. I'm going through a rough time in my life right now, & I couldn't have gotten this inserted at a worse time. It made everything so much more difficult and had a big effect on my relationship. Around the time I would normally get my period, I began to spot for two weeks straight. It was a brownish color. Then, i got my period right after. The only positive about this thing is that I haven't gotten pregnant. Otherwise, I'm getting it removed asap"


"I use Tylenol #4 for moderate abdominal pain caused from endometriosis. This medication doesn't completely stop the pain but makes it easier to function normally. The best thing about it it starts working so quickly after I take it. Other medications I have tried like Vicodin does not work as quickly or effectively."


"I'm 43 years old and I went the 3 years on Nexplanon and just had it removed a week ago.  Let me say I never got pregnant on it, so it did it's job.  However, at the beginning I bled so much and so long, that intimacy was few and far between.  And that sucked because it did not drop my sex drive, just the ability to have it.  Then after about a year, my period went to about 7-9 straight days a month, every month, with sporatic spotting to bleeding in between.  I used to be very regular 2-3 days a month, every month and that was it.  So I was not one of the fortunate ones that got loss of period.  I was not aware of the weight gain issue until I started reading some of the comments here.  I gained over 40 lbs in the 3 years."


"Few days on it. Ability didn't work for me. Doctor has me on cogentin and Inderal for akathisia. Taking Trilafon also. Quiting Klonopin slowly, taking Adderall for sleep issues: hypersomnia. Taking Paxil bc it was good in the past(20years ago). Slightly hypomanic which is good for socializing but not for calm mind. Can't keep a calm mind, not hearing voices, but having a discussion with imaginary person in my head. Is this Pyschosis bc I would hate to get off AD(Paxil) which is great for social phobia"


"After failing to complete the 10 day cycle of penicillin initially prescribed and a 3 day delay in getting back to the doctor, the  the strep came back 500x worse than the first time (including sinus and ear infections). Augmentin was prescribed along with Lidocaine Viscous (to gargle), Sudafed, Flonase, Ibuprofen, and Saline Rinse. After 1 day, I can tell that I am on the mend... fever gone; throat, ears and sinuses getting better... I have had no adverse digestive effects (am eating yogurt consistently as it's he only that I have been able to get down). I am thankful that the Nurse Practitioner at CVS Minute Clinic went all out instead of sending me to the ER.

This time I will finish the complete cycle!"


"I had Paragard placed 7 weeks ago. I went into it fearing the worst based on reviews I'd read, but I have nothing but positive things to say about this IUD. I didn't feel a thing during placement - not so much as even a twinge - but that may be due to the fact that I've given birth to four babies. I spotted for several days afterward until my period started. My period was neither heavier nor longer than usual and my cramps seemed to be no worse than before Paragard. I had zero spotting for the rest of that month and started my second period right on time.  Overall, I haven’t really noticed any changes since being on Paragard and I couldn’t be happier with it!"


"I've been on the patch now for four months. I've had minimal side effects. In fact, I love what the patch has done for me. My acne cleared up, it has helped me calm down emotionally, I sleep better, and while it puts my sex drive on overload for the first month, it all mellowed out by the second or third month. The first month was the most drastic. The only thing I really could complain about is the fact that for a day in month 1, I was extremely depressed. Like, so depressed that I felt hopeless and didn't want to get out of bed. Now, I don't know if that was due to the fact that I had pulled a couple all-nighters (due to exams) or the patch, but it was AWFUL. Other than that, things have been wonderful. I love the patch."


"Ended up in the hospital with low hemoglobin and almost needed blood transfusion.my periods were never normal b4 but with this pill yhey never stopped. I bled for 2 months and was so weak i couldnt go to school or do anything but lay in the bed cramps were so bad and i bled through every overnight pad daily. At the time i was 15. Never again took them."


"Bydureon worked well helping my A1C level, 7.6 to 6.5. Also sugar levels went from 120-140 fasting to 90-110. After meals levels went from 180-220 to 140-160. I also lost 19 lbs in three months. After 3 months the side effects became too much to handle. Nausea and vomiting were constant. Woke up one night so sick I could not keep any thing down. Three hours later ended up in ER dehydrated. Have stopped taking bydureon two weeks ago but it still is in my system. Still nausea and upset stomach with sour taste in mouth. Results were great. Just couldn't handle side effects."


"Because of an auto accident a year ago I had a partial separation of my right sacroiliac joint. I've taken Advil, Celebrex, and Mobic along with steroid injections and received little or no pain relief. Zipsor is the only medication I've taken that has reduced the inflammation long enough for the joint to begin to heal thus giving my pain relief."


"I loved it. I have had it for 3 years now and about to get a new one. Getting it inserted was actually pretty simple, other than a little soreness I was good to go. I only got my period every few months and it last about a week and a half but was extremely light.  I did not experience any of the side effects, I even lost a little weight, but I cannot confirm if it was from the Implanon.  It is not even noticeable in my arm unless I tell someone to actually touch it, no scar either. It has been the least expensive and most effective birth control I have taken.  No more pill popping every day here."


"Love this med to help me stay awake to study."


"I have been using this method of Birth Control for over ten years now, I am hesitant to change to another form. I have not had a period since starting Depo and never had a pregnancy scare. I have gained weight while on the shot but it could be just my eating habits and lack of exercise! I would recommend this form of birth control for anyone who cannot remember to take a pill or who does not want to worry about getting pregnant. Once every three months is easy to do and I have never been happier with any form of birth control."


"I took this medicine for GOUT just prior to a holiday. It reduced the pain of the gout but made my legs feel as if they were made of lead! I did not continue after 3 or 4 tablets as they were affecting my ability to walk successfully."


"I've been using Advair 250/50 for about 7 years. I developed asthma after several respiratory infections. After months of having no energy and wheezing and coughing, the doctor finally confirmed asthma. I started on 4 puffs per day for a week, and then went down to 2 per day. In the summer, I can often get away with only 1 puff per day. In the winter I usually need 2. The main symptom I get if my asthma is not fully controlled is a gurgling sensation in my lungs. With Advair my asthma symptoms have mostly disappeared. It's a really effective medication."


"One of the best medicines to prevent Rosacea, but very expensive. "


"I was diagnosed with GAD and panic disorder three years ago. I have tried ever antidepressant out there. None ever gave me relief except for paxil. I truly credit paxil for saving my sanity, and stopping most of my panic attacks. Although I still have anxiety from time to time, it is nothing I can't manage. I've been taking 40 mgs of paxil for about 9 months. I finally feel like my normal self again."


"I've taken Premarin for over 17 years.  It is great for controlling menopausal symptoms and mood swings in early surgical menopausal patients.  It is also supposed to help prevent osteoporosis. "


"I have had extremely positive effects from this drug, but I do have to take Prozac with it as it causes mood swings or depression with me."


"I have GAD stemming from PTSD due to trauma in my past. I've been taking all sorts of medication for it for years, including Klonopin which I did not realize was habit forming until after I started taking it. Then, last year, I switched doctors, and she refuses to prescribe benzos, especially since I had a problem with alcohol abuse. Last month, she prescribed me Neurontin and I thought it wouldn't work, so I put off getting the script filled. But then it got to the point where I couldn't live with the anxiety so I went and got the script filled just to give it a shot and I'm so amazed at the difference it makes. I do not feel anxiety at all anymore and even though it makes me kind of foggy, I can still function. I love this med."


"This medication isn't that effective compared to taking Norco since Norco releases most of its metabolytes within an hour immediately causing pain relief. Switching over to Hysingla has not only cost me way more money per month but also has caused me to have severe withdrawals and pain to due it's very slow time release of the medication. I take 20 mg of Norco at a time tid and I'm on the Hysingla 30mg. So with that being said, my body is used to 20mg of morphine every 6 hours.  If I'm on the Hysingla 30, it means I'm only getting approximately 1.25mg an hour.  That causes the concentration of my morphine levels to drop rapidly. Bottom line, this medication does not work unless you have minor pain that can wait a while till this medication"


"I would give Depakote a lower rating based on my personal experience with it, but I don't want to skew the overall rating.  For whatever reason, I did not respond to Depakote as a mood stabilizer.  This is surely not the case for everyone.  The problem is that while taking this medicine, I gained 30 pounds, as I constantly felt hungry.  I was warned ahead of time that this tends to keep the brain from perceiving fullness (or something to that effect).  I noticed this within a few days of starting Depakote but continued taking it because I didn't have many other options at the time.  The weight gain created an entirely new aspect of depression.  Just something to keep in mind if you're just starting it and weight gain is an issue."


"They should make a combination product with Immodium.  I greatly reduced the cough but gave me the worst explosive diarrhea for hours.  I just gave in and took Immodium and am finally feeling remotely normal . Just in time for the cough to return.  Sheesh."


"I am on my third pack of Sprintec Birth Control.  I have tried many different birth controls including YAZ.  The first few weeks of taking Sprintec was rough, I felt nauseous all of the time.  The nausea went away within a few weeks.  I have had shorter and lighter periods.  Sprintec is known to cause a loss of appetite, I have lost about 15lbs so far.  Which I think is awesome. I do not get nearly as moody and crabby as I used to before taking it.  Birth control pills are different for everyone and they work differently from person to person.  I would recommend giving it a try if you can get over the first couple weeks.  (And the side affects aren't serious) keep trying different ones, there is one out there that will work for you!"


"I had Mirena inserted 10 months ago after the birth of my 2nd daughter and I love it. The insertion was easy, it felt like cramps. At first I was concerned because I bled for so long, but my doctor assured me it was just my body getting used to it. Since then I haven't had a period at all. I don't even get spotting. Also, I've been lucky and I haven't experienced any weight gain from it. I would recommend it to any woman as an easy form of birth control. It gives me freedom and puts my mind at ease, I never have to worry about whether I remembered to take my pill, if it's time to change my patch, or scheduling an appointment for my next shot."


"I was prescribed Suboxone 8mg (naloxone 2mg) and found that the benefits were far greater than the side effects. Upon my initial use, I began to feel better about 30 minutes after administration. About 3 days later, I had no cravings for opiates or other drugs. I began to feel like a normal person again. There are a few side effects that not everybody feels, but I did for many weeks which was nausea, vomiting, dizziness, muscle aches and joint pain. I also experienced a lot of sweating. For the nausea and vomiting my doctor prescribed Phenergan, which worked great except it makes you very sleepy. After about 3 months of taking the Suboxone and a few minor dosage adjustments, I feel even better and have not returned to opiate usage."


"I have had depression most of my life but well controlled.  I had a very traumatic experience that totally changed my life.  It totally turned my life upside down.  My doctor prescribed Fetzima. I this helped to some point.  I still don't feel like I can be myself and enjoy life.  I have been better on other things."


"LDL was 124. Took 10mg Crestor 3 times a week. Six weeks later my LDL is down to 54. Doc says to go down to 2 pills a week, which will maintain the lower cholesterol number. No muscle cramps or joint pains with taking it a couple times a week instead of every day and its just as effective. Even if I did have cramps or joint pain it would still be worth it to get my cholesterol down, reduce heart disease and prevent dementia."


"Had a deep depression combined with insomnia. I was helped from the first day with Remeron, it was an incredible feeling! The side effect is increased appetite. But since I know it's a side effect I can control it. It's better to feel hungry than to feel like the end is near ... Have been on it for a month now and still fall a sleep as a baby after less then 30 minutes when taken the pill. My doctor recommends that I continue with it for approximately 4 more months and then lower the dose (from 30 to 15 mg) and phase it out after a month or so. Let's see what happens, but it's really great now!"


"I have been taking Atripla for little over a month. Like most of the comments on here, my numbers after 10 years of being HIV were starting to change. Within 30 days I was back to an undetectable status. I have had little to no side effects, other than the weird dreams from time to time. I consider myself quite fortunate that my body is tolerating the medicine well and I hope it continues to do so."


"Been using Zolpidem several years now,  1/2 of a 10mg tablet when required. Stayed at that dose for a couple years, until began waking up after 4-5 hours. Began taking just a small pinch more to get back to sleep. Recently I found myself taking 2/3s pill at bedtime, and though I've never had any bizarre behavior on it, have been noting memory and mood changes as I've aged past 70 which I was attributing to normal aging and/or my thyroid disorder.  However, after carelessly downing an entire 10 mg pill last night, I woke this morning feeling very groggy, foggy headed, and my vision was blurry. Sweet dreams."


"The side effects from various drugs, particularly morphine caused signficant nausea.  In fact, I'd have to rate the nausea as worse than the actual pain.  Zofran worked like a charm, quite quickly, with little side effects (as far as I know).  It certainly made my recent visit to the hospital much more comfortable!"


"This medication has been wonderful for my depression. I was lucky and this started working after just a week and a half. My negative thoughts have stopped and I'm not so irritable. I enjoy the company of my family and have a higher libido vs none at all before. I've had side effects like nausea to begin with and strange electrical feelings every now and then but it's worth it to me to continue."


"I am a 47 year old male with seizure disorder/Epilepsy. I had my first Grand Mal seizure at 28. Since then I have been taking Dilantin 100mg 3 times a day. At first (the first 3 months I experienced unbearable side effects lightheadedness, etc.) so my doctor changed me to Keppra. The cost of Keppra was way to expensive so I went back on Dilantin. After several more months my body got used to it and I started having zero side effects . After taking it now for 19 years I NEVER have seizures whatsoever but I never miss a dose. 100 mg 3 times a day. I think it is a wonderful medicine and is very inexpensive."


"I took Lexapro for 14 months, on 10mg for 12 and then 5mg for two. The month after I came off it was hell; anxiety returned. I was prescribed it after a severe panic attack where I became severely overwhelmed by life effects and I wasn't responding to talk therapy so it was felt by my doctors that the depression was more clinical and needed a chemical to lift me out of it. Lexapro brought to the fore my issues with alcohol as it mixes really badly with alcohol so it made me finally curb my drinking. Lexapro made me forgetful and unable to remember the word I was looking for mid-sentence or sometimes I'd say weird things which had never happened before. Overall it helped me make the positive changes I needed to get better so it did work."


"I suffered from narcolepsy due to spending too much time in the REM sleep stage.  Xyrem regulates my sleep architecture, and now I no longer suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness."


"So I've been on Lo LoesteinFe since Nov 2014 now and I've been liking it so far, I was afraid to breakout since I always had very clear skin all of my life . The good thing is my skin is still very clear and I haven't gained a drastic amount of weight even though I don't eat right most of the time so that's good . (But I recommend to exercise and eat right while your on it ). The only downside is that I've been feeling mood swings and depressed while still on this pill and I've only felt this change just this month . Because I'm normally very upbeat and stress free . But other then that I recommend it for not worrying about breaking out or gaining much weight ."


"My experience is only a week old, and I'm here to see what other users have diarrhea during the initial two weeks of taking Linzess.  But I did want to reply to Bronx boy's fears about what will help him if this doesn't.  Magnesium.  I deeply understand his fear, as there's nothing worse than constipation.  Before Linzess, I took a product called CALM, which is a fizzy drink of magnesium citrate.  IT WORKS!  My problem with it is it woke me up in the night - works fast.  I've found, during these initial days of taking Linzess, that I can still take CALM in the morning if I have that miserable "incomplete" feeling, and CALM will work within an hour on an empty stomach.  I rated it at 5 at this point pending further experience."


"I have been using Finacea gel for the last 6 weeks and have seen amazing results. I had been recently diagnosed with a medium case of Rosacea but to me It felt like it was a serious case. Both cheeks and forehead were effected. My forehead and cheeks were at times very red and I became very aware of it.I use it twice a day and have also been given a course of Erythromycin tablets and I also use Zerobase moisturising cream.By using all of the mentioned items I have seen an incredible difference in my face and on occasions my face bears no redness as it used to .

I saw some difference in about 10 days by using Finacea gel, and I cannot recommend it enough."


"Vicodin works great for migraines. I have had migraines for over 20 years and Vicodin and Lorcet Plus are miracle medicines. I can function at work and at home.
I don't miss work, it does it's job of killing a migraine that could last me for days. I have tried everything to treat migraine pain and I can tell you that this medicine is wonderful. Love, love love."


"It was a very effective drug, however, the side effects listed made it a bit scary to take, but it all worked out in the end."


"I have been on and off this medication for nearly 10 years and it has been generally helpful most of the time. It takes a long time to titrate up, and the there is a very specific dose that is different for everybody, but once you get it right, the medication is remarkably helpful.

In my experience, it all but eradicates Bipolar Depression and it reduces the severity of Bipolar Mania.

Don't worry so much about the rash if you're a hypochondriac like me. "The Rash" most likely would only be limited to mucus membranes around the eyes, nose, mouth and genitals.

One thing I should add: over time, the medications seems to lose effectiveness and if you frequently discontinue, this effect is exacerbated. Eventually I had to add lithium."


"after the war, I became dependent on opiates to relieve back and knee injuries i sustained overseas.  overtime my addiction grew into buying oxy and roxy and using 60-150mg/day.  my addiction took control of my life and i was using just to fight off the withdraws.  i went to the VA got put on suboxone.  it took care of the w/ds and I am happy to say I'm free from the demons that are opiates.  take that first step and realize you have a problem, when you are ready get this drug prescribed to you.  it helped me become the man i once was and i am grateful.  also, learn your triggers that lead you to use opiates and avoid them."


"Social anxiety since child (born in 1982)

2005-2008 - Sertraline 100-200 mg/day (rating 6,5/10)

2009 - Sertraline 100mg/day, Mirtazapine 45mg/day, Clonazepam 10mg/day (rating 6,5/10)

2010 - Clomipramine (rating 1/10) made me terribly anxious

2011 - Bupropion + Mirtazapine (rating 6/10) anxious and angry, but depression was gone

2012-2013 Parnate (IMAO) (rating 5/10) food restrictions, insonia, anxious all the time and tolerance to Diazepam

2014 - Escitalopram 40 mg + Mirtazapine 45 mg (rating 5,5/10) less anxious but terribly depressed

I'll talk to my doc and go back to sertraline. Not exccelent, but I have to give another chance"


"You have to be aware of the positives and negatives of any medicine you take. Even Tylenol. I have found that Saphris has worked pretty well despite a few side effects that I've learned to live with. My doc tried me on Latuda first because I was a bit concerned with taking something sublingually. I should have tried Saphris first. Latuda had me wanting to jump out of my skin and made me want to eat all of the time. I gained 50 pounds in the six months I was on Latuda and have lost all but 7lbs on Saphris.  I don't mind the numb tongue because it goes away. I am even used to the taste now. Overall Saphris gave me my life back."


"I had really bad acne in high school. I tried almost everything. Because I also have bad eczema, all that happened was burning skin. I went to the skin doctor and he prescribed isotretinoin because had taken it as a teenager and he told me that since he used it, he has had only one pimple (the one on his forehead now [he looks 45] ). So I used it. At first nothing happened then very slowly the acne was going away. All of a sudden, it seemed like my pimple hated Claravis and bonded together as gigantic unpopable wretches around my chin (during this time all the others slowly went away). Now, I only have two of those boss pimple, both in the process of being reabsorbed, and a small network of tiny pimples on my cheeks. Things are looking up."


"I had my IUD inserted in February of 2015 (about 2.5 years ago). The insertion was fairly painless and quick. I had a lot of problems with hormonal birth control pills, so my doctor thought this would be a good alternative. The first 2 years with Skyla were pretty good. My periods were lighter, no weight gain, minor PMS. About 6 months ago, my PMS symptoms became almost unbearable. My acne has gotten much worse, and I am having PMS symptoms I haven't had since my teenage years (before I started the pill). My periods are now lasting about 2 weeks with only 2 weeks in between. It's a nightmare. My doctor told me she has had many complaints with Skyla and will be switching me to Mirena this month. Overall, would not recommend this IUD."


"This medicine completely changed my life. Before I got on it, I was in deep depression and had a horrible chemical imbalance in my brain. I have been on this medicine for 2 months. This is wonderful. Now I'm more happy, smiling, and the chemicals in my brain are balanced. I did gain 3 pounds since on this although it was supposed to decrease appetite."


"I was born without a thyroid and I've been taking Synthroid every night. I'm only 13. I have to tell you this is the best thing ever. If I didn't have this medication I would be barely alive. I wouldn't be this tall either (5'7). This medicine is my life-line. "


"This was the first drug I was ever prescribed for insomnia and it worked great for 1 week and then I couldn't get more than 2 hours of sleep out of it...the side effects were pretty undesirable, as well, compared to other hypnotics that I have tried over the past year."


"Excellent medicine for me with no side effects. Have been on 5/20 dosage once daily along with 25mg of hydrochlorothiazide and my blood pressure is the lowest it's been in 40 years. My average reading about 118/72. Previously had readings of 160-170/90-100"


"This product worked great for me. During sex my bf came inside me. I was panicking. I went and purchased the pill shortly after. My period came within my scheduled timeframe. My breasts are a little sore but other than nothing major."


"I began taking medication for my thyroid about a year ago.  Prior to that I NEVER had issues with constipation.  I was an "at least once-a-day goer" and happy about it.  The various medications I started REALLY messed me up.  I would go DAYS without a bowel movement and I FELT TERRIBLE.  I was not made for this.

A tried every over the counter medication, both natural and not, that you can imagine.  Nothing would work.

About 40 days ago my doctor prescribed me Linzess and I have gone *almost* every day since. It almost ALWAYS loose stool, however I sometimes even have to run to the restroom.  But I will take that over constipation ANY day.  One other drawback is that my stomach is VERY loud when I'm on it.  Quiet rooms, quiet meetings..."


"I started on Qsymia August 26 2013, one month later I lost 24lbs doing regular diet and exercise. Qsymia did cut my hunger, helped me stay focus in my lost weight goal. Side effects in my case very minor, metal taste for the first two weeks, and maybe a little problem concentrating. "


"I have been taking these for four days and compare to others such as 375 phen these do not work as well. 375 phen helped me lose 6 lbs in a week."


"I get cold sores about once I year, I hate having them they're embarrassing and ugly.
I felt one coming and I decided to go see the doctor for some cream (thats what I usually do ) this doctor gave me the pills and 3 days later gone. AMAZING PRODUCT"


"My boyfriend and I had sex during my mostly fertile period.
The condom broke and he came inside me. We freaked out and went to buy the pill plan b within 30 minutes after having sex.
I don't want to say that it works all the time but it worked for me. I took plan b and the next Sunday I had a "fake period" with brownie discharge. I guess that is was the pill working messing with my body. My period came one month late and I took two pregnancy test just to make sure that I was not pregnant.

Please girls I know it's hard, but don't stress yourself and keep calm, if you do it right plan b should work. Try not to freak out and be patient! Everything will be fine!"


"Weight gain. And I feel very bloated all the time. Diminished libido also. But, its better than taking a pill everyday. Also has cleared up my acne!"


"Seemed to work a little at first with the cramps fullness but then the third day my frequency came back with a vengeance. Had to pee about 40x during the night didn't get any sleep. Worst bladder infection I've had ever and haven't had one in 10 years.  I am 13 weeks pregnant so doctor just switched me to another safe pill today. Hopefully this one will wok!"


"I would never even know I was taking anything at all. I had to adjust my dose to a morning dose because it kept me awake but other than this no problems at all."


"Had this given 7 days ago. Initial pressure and pain with injection and a after injection pain rush but then ok. Not as sore as having Flu shot afterward. Piece of cake and glad to hope that I do not end up with Pneumonia as that  was really not fun at all. In the hospital for two weeks and weak as a kitten. If you need it, get it."


"Did not help much with the pain. After 2 months on this medicine my blood pressure started to spike and I have had  five trips to the ER with blood pressure at 180/120, severe dizziness and chest pain. Both a persistant dull pain and stabbing pain at different locations in my chest and abdomen. One week of and the dizzines and chest pain is gone. Blood preasure high still but better. Its the Diastolic preasure that is high. Be very careful with this medicine. Take your blood pressure several times before starting and monitor your pressure during treatment."


"I have been trying to get my extra weight off for years.  Belviq has given me the extra will power that I need to stop snacking or having second helpings. In my opinion it helps you change your eating habits to what I would consider normal. "


"I have been on contrave for about 5 weeks now.  I have lost, gained & lost 4lbs.  I intend to stay on it another month and try to be more physically active.  One thing I have noticed, is that my jeans are not as tight.  I have actually gone in 1 - 2 notches on my belt.  Which is more impressive to me than the 4 lbs.  I had a few headaches off and on for the first 2 weeks, but nothing major.  For me the side effects haven't been that bad.  I have noticed that it has helped me A LOT with cravings and portions.  With contrave, I haven't snacked all day at work or in the evening after supper. It has reduced the amount of food I am able to eat.  If I over eat, I feel miserable.   I was hoping to lose at least 10 lbs but that hasn't happened yet."


"3 days ago I had a root canal treatment done. 24 hours later I felt like Mt. St. Helens was going to erupt in my jaw. They gave me Vicodin, no help. Antibiotics, no help. Stepped up to Dilaudid no help. Then Toradol it really took off the edge. With a Dilaudid the pain is very manageable for the first 4 hours of the 6 hour span till next dosage. The other two hours are still quite miserable.
Many years ago I had a hysterectomy, they could not give me enough narcotics to control my pain, Demerol, morphine, fentanyl, then they gave me Toradol and it was an answer to prayers, with a narcotic added to it."


"Has anyone noticed that Timolol now comes in new packaging and the familiar yellow top that security closed the bottle is missing. I find the the current top cannot be securely closed. To me, this is extremely dangerous and is counter to what the website warns in preventing infection due to insecurely closed vials."


"I started using Victoza since 3/25/11 and I have lost 4 lbs. I had the nausea and the bad burping but it is subsiding. I started at 0.6 and now I am at 1.2. I have always been afraid of needles but I am getting used to it. Every time I feel a sore throat or a pain I wonder if it is the medication. Aside from that my constipation is bad. After all this negatives on my mind I like the way my numbers have gone down."


"Lord where should I begin with this
Medication...was told to take 2 pills for 7 days I am on day 7 and I am so happy it is almost over! Since day 1 I have had major side effects...the tiredness is the worst I literally laid in bed for 2 days no motivation to even move and that is not like me. Day 3 I started noticing a bad taste in my mouth and really dark urine. The pill definitely works it is the side effects that are horrible. Side effects: cramping headache tiredness metal taste in my mouth I experienced some confusion and extreme stomachache and dry mouth constantly....take with caution please."


"I have tried ACE, ARB, CCB, HCTZ... and finally Tekturna 150mg. I'm a 45 yr old male that has struggled with side effects from blood pressure medication for several years. I have been on Tekturna for about 2 months. The first month was perfect no side effects at all. Now I am not totally sure. After a cold that turned into bronchitis I developed an ongoing burning sensation in my lungs and constant need to cough. I stopped Tekturna for 48 hours and the cough went away. I just started back today and will see how it goes. I really hope it was my illness and not a side effect."


"This has been my life saver. I got this one month after my daughter was born. At first you are moody, and I bled for 2 weeks. (But I was a new mom so could be that). I've had no periods, and not having to remember all those stupid little pills is fantastic. But another thing is I have lost 55lbs WHILE on this. The first two years I did nothing towards dieting but when I finally decided to make the change this birth control did not hold me back. I LOVE this BC."


"I was on Depo for about 5 years. My period would immediatly stop everytime I took the shot. That is the only positive. Aside from that I gained about 30 pounds from the shot. Thank God I was really small when I got on it , and my fat is in the " right" places. However, it doesn't change the fact that this is something that should not be on the market. Doctors will tell you that it is your diet that is causing the weight gain. However, my diet is the same as it was years ago. I decided to get off the shot , as getting a period is a part of woman hood and not enough of a reason to keep injecting something that awful in my body. I have been off about 6 months now. Thankfully my periods are regular now, but I plan to see a dietician soon!"


"I got the shot and never stopped bleeding/discharging the entire 3 months I was on it. I refused to take the 2nd shot and after about a week after I was supposed to get it, the bleeding started again. I figured it was my normal period trying to kick back in but I continue to bleed to this day. It'll be ridiculously heavy for a week, then barely nothing for a few days, then it'll be ridiculously heavy again. I got it in August and I'm 100% sure it's the reason for why I've been bleeding consistently for this last past month. My period has never been irregular or anything. I'm so aggravated, I feel disgusting, and I can't enjoy everyday things without having to worry about whether or not I'm gonna be bleeding through everything."


"Made me totally lose it and ended up in hospital for 3 weeks."


"I love it. No carbs and I work out. If you are not willing to change your life and just take the meds when you stop taking the meds you will gain twice as much back.  Its a life style change not a magic pill...."


"I was having terrible nausea and bought a bottle of this. Within about 5 minutes of taking a dose the nausea was gone.  Worked better than expected."


"I have tried several medications for my major depression over the years and Emsam side effects have, by far, been the smallest.  There are no sexual side effects, no weight gain, etc.  My moods are not "monotone" like I had felt on some of the other medications.  The only drawback to this medication, in my opinion, is the food/drink watch.  I personally don't have to modify much, but if you drink a lot or eat a lot of aged foods, this will be an issue for you on Emsam.  Also this is an MAOi so there are medication interactions as well.  But mood wise, depression, anxiety...this is the best ever!"


"I had the IUD placed on August 27 so it's only been a few days . But it seems like it's been for ever . Ever since  they placed the IUD I've experienced really bad cramping . The cramping is so bad it feels like I am having contractions . I hope they go away maybe it's my body trying to get used to it who knows but if they cramping doesn't go away I am going to have it removed . The pain is too much and I don't think I can handle 10 yrs with this type of cramping . And after reading that so many people have gotten pregnant with it makes me think it's pointless to even suffer with the cramping ."


"I'm on AK pill. My doctor said my weight problems an acne are from having no progesterone to regulate my hormones. An that it made my testosterone too high, which makes it hard to lose any weight. Took last night. Slept great. No bloat, an high energy. I'm happy so far. Can't say I have any bad side effects. I'll check back if I get any negatives."


"I started using LoSeasonique a little over a week ago, mainly for irregular periods and the periodical ovarian cysts. I started my period on a Friday, and started taking the pill on the following Sunday. I did not take the pill right away, because I heard that if you begin taking the pill after the first day of a period, you will have lots of spotting. Anyway, my period stopped that sunday, and I have not had any spotting since. It has been exactly one week and I haven't experienced any cramps, bleeding, bloating or anything uncomfortable. I take it at 3 pm everyday, and usually take it with a whole glass of water so I wont experience any headaches. I really like this pill so far, and hope that I can continue."


"Best thing since sliced bread. Got my blood pressure down. No side effects and covered on my insurance. It works great. Thanks to this company for making a winner"


"Well I was on Wellbutrin, Ciprolex, and Carbamazapine to start with, but was still having issues with some symptoms hanging around, such as lack of motivation and aches and pains.. When my psychiatrist put me on the Abilify, he warned me that I might LOSE weight. I laughed at this because usually these types of meds have the opposite effect.. and according to a lot of the reviews, that seems to be the case. But sure enough, within a couple weeks I had started noticing that my clothes were getting looser and my family started commenting their concern (I was already a healthy weight before).. I ended up going off of the Abilify because 1 and a half months later I had lost over 20lbs and literally underweight. Scary stuff! Great otherwise.."


"Saying goodbye to Wellbutrin. Sadly I have to come off this medicine after 2 years.  It worked well for me, my weight went down and my sex drive went up.  However, insomnia got the best of me.  I could never get more than 4 hours of sleep a night and 6 with an Ambien.  The lack of sleep is taking a toll on me sadly. I recommend this medicine and hope you don't have the sleep issues that I did."


"These results I'm reading here are not at all typical. If not for Amoxicillin, I would miss 3 or more days of work due to Bronchitis, but If I start taking it at the first sign of, I miss zero days. If not this, then a Zithromax Z-Pak (azithromycin) works great also."


"Chantix is a miracle (at least for me). More than two packs a day for 30+ years, and I quit smoking on Day 11. I'm now five weeks quit, and will never, ever, take even a puff again. I'm done, healthy and happy."


"Two months ago I started taking Safyral because my doctor had high recommendations and gave me three packs for free. I took it for a month and started feeling uncontrollably moody. I want to cry for no reason, and everything I used to love makes me angry and upset. I switched back to my normal birth control after the first pack was done, but then decided to give it another chance since it is free and I wasn't positive that it was the Safyral making me feel this way. Right now I am on my second pack and feel horrible, moody, irritable. On the plus side my breasts got bigger and I'm not pregnant. I'm finishing this pack then switching back to my original again."


"For the past years I have suffered with depression until I did a quiz online and the results were I had depression. Always tired until I went to a professional and I started bupropion a week ago. I am 33 years old businessman. My life changed. I didn't smile, didn't care, felt lonely even with my kids and wife. Now I am happy."


"Started Belviq 5 days ago. I am incredibly drained and exhausted. Have had headaches, issues with balance, feeling of not connecting to my own thoughts or words, eating more, gained 3 pounds... And today the exhaustion was so bad I feel asleep behind the wheel of my car twice on a short trip to my grandparents house. I left a message with my doctor's office and will follow up tomorrow. Take the side effects seriously. I have never had issues like this with a medication."


"I experienced extreme agitation, depression, anxiety and almost (probably should've) ended up in the hospital.  I didn't leave my house for five days until I could get some what calmed."


"I've been on Prozac for about 20 years and it's been a lot of help but at age 68 I found myself wanting to nap a lot more and my motivation decreasing. I switched to Wellbutrin and once the therapeutic dose was established I began to feel better within a week or two. I feel more energetic and yet more composed and at ease. I'm very pleased with this drug, not the least because my sex life has returned. I think my life would have been different if I'd started it 20 years ago."


"Adderall is effective, but it comes with consequences. Both to your physical and mental health. I am 27 years old, I have taken Adderall on and off for about 10 years. Started it my freshman year of college. It was AMAZING at first! Lost that freshman 15, got straight A's, actually ENJOYED my work. Then I started noticing the crash symptoms. Tired, withdrawn, emotionless, sleepless. I stopped taking it because I hated the way it made me feel, but I realized how much more productive I am when taking it. When I start taking it again my immune system is shot, I'm constantly sick with something, I get super irritable. When I don't take it I can barely get out of bed and I always gain weight, which always sucks. It's a vicious cycle."


"I take tramadol 50mg three times daily for severe carpal tunnel syndrome and recurrent tendonitis.  It is the only thing that has helped me so far, and has very few unpleasant side effects for me.  I must take it with food, however, or I have nausea.  This medication has been a lifesaver for me, it is effective without the spacey feelings of narcotic pain relievers."


"After having surgery on my wrist, my mother suggested to the doctor to give me something to take the edge off of pain in between doses of hydrocodone.  I was given Vistaril (25mg) and told to take as needed for pain with my other meds and that I could take 1-2 of them within every 4 hours or so.  The doc also said it should tame down some stomach issue with the pain medicine (it did).
I noticed not only were they helping me with the pain but I felt relief from some of the anxiety of being out of work & just not being able to function well without the use of my right arm.  I asked him about this at my next visit & he said indeed it was known for help with that and that was in fact part of the reason he added it for me.
No side effects for me."


"I had my thyroid removed 23 years ago and have been on this same medicine since my surgery. The only side effect I have ever had with this medicine started a few years ago, is dry skin, a little thinning of my hair and bad nails. Other than that this medicine has down very well for me."


"I was prescribed this because I initially tried velivet..or previfem, I can't remember. What ever pill it was caused me unbearable side effects and immediate weight gain. Microgestin gave me nausea and headaches when I first started taking it but it went away after the second month. It helped my back acne (which was really stubborn) but it didn't do much to my face acne. After taking it for about a year, I didn't see the best results. I have cystic acne so I'm going to give Tri-Previfem a second shot. My period got lighter and it helped with my cramps but my goal is to improve my skin since it seems to be hormonal. Good luck with finding the pill that suits you best!"


"I started Singulair 10 weeks ago. Since taking I have absolutely no wheezing and feel great. I have been very ill with asthma for the past 12 mths where I have been unable to come off prednisolone & notice almost straight away when coming off it. I have been able to walk without getting out of breath for the first time in years. I must say my specialist has also at the same time started me on Xovial spray and will ween me off that in a week to see if it is the Singulair making me well!"


"Female/25: I started phentermine 1 month ago. Started at 195 and am now down to 178.  so 17 pounds. I walk/jog/run 5 times a week. usually around 2 miles sometimes more sometimes less. I have taken this medication before about 5 years ago. I got down to 145. I cut down my eating a lot. I try to eat less than 1000 calories a day. it's usually around 700. For me to lose weight i have to eat a bare minimum."


"Horrible experience!!!! Had the mirena for 10 months with longer than normal periods. I had bleeding every month for close to 2 weeks each month. Finally decided to have my gyno remove it. It's been out for a week and half and I have been bleeding for 7 days. This is not normal bleeding. Very heavy bleeding with large clots. Some almost the size of a golfball. I've read a lot of forums from people and this has happened to ALOT of people. This is something that nobody warns you about. Please do your research before you choose this drug. It's not worth it!"


"I was on Effexor for almost 2 years starting on the lowest dose til I was just about on the highest - then my doctor decided to try something else as this one wasn't working anymore - I was really hard work coming off them"


"My experience with a serious panic attack was thought to be the onset of a heart attack. I was monitored, had lab work, even x-rays. No heart attack, my heart was found to be totally clean of blockages. So the doctors conferred that I was indeed having a full scale panic attack. I was given a single 1 mg pill of Ativan.
within minutes i was calmer, breathing returned to slow and regular, i felt warmer, and secure, clear headed yet a little sleepy.
the other med i take is one 75 mg Effexor XR nightly, and a single capsule of raw thyroid nightly
i do take a vitamin and mineral supplement when i think to.
the Ativan prescription was issued for short term and serious times of panic only.
it was recommended i receive counsel, as well."


"My son who is 12 has been on this medication now for about 6 months. 40 mg a day. It does absolutely nothing for him. The Dr tried upping his dose to 50mg and he started having major mood swings, anxiety and depression. Ritalin, Concerta, Vyvanse we have tried those too but the side effects were too much for him to handle. I'm at a loss what to do now. No more meds I guess?"


"I was very skeptical about getting on birth control in general because I did try Depot a few years ago and was bleeding non stop for a year. But I recently got into a relationship and wanted to get on birth control so I tried Nexplanon. Once again I was skeptical after reading so many horrible reviews but decided to try it anyways. I got Nexplanon implanted mid March and I got my period the usual time of the month I was expecting it. My period usually last for 5 days but it did last for 2 weeks this time. I have now been off my period for a few days and hoping it stays off!!! No consistent bleeding, no depression, no mood swings and no loss of sex drive. So far so good. Only rated it an 8 because I haven't been on it for too long."


"The most debilitating week of my life!   Extreme fatigue , extreme nausea, leg cramps, breast tenderness, ACNE, MOOD SWINGS, heart palpitations.   I threw it out after 7 days.   Please take caution when using this."


"First of all, my depression is diagnosed as mild. I am young and was still unsure as to whether or not I was depressed or if my sadness was just a normal part of life. My doctor prescribed me Pristiq four days ago and I am amazed by the difference I feel already. I have more energy, my anxiety is gone, I feel optimistic, my desire to exercise is back...I agree with what other people have said before me, this is what life felt like a long time ago. I tried Prozac in the past but it just numbed me so I stopped taking it. With Pristiq, I am still able to feel sadness, it's just impossible to reach the extreme lows I felt before. I really wish I had started taking this medicine sooner."


"It actually worked"


"I started taking this medicine for weight loss about 5 weeks ago. I completely changed the way I eat and lost 18 pounds in the first 18 days. At that time I started working out everyday and actually gained weight. I hope that is because I am building muscle. I am now down 20 pounds and have 30+ to go. I get the pills for 5 more months and hope to be down to my goal weight by October. If I continue to stay this weight I will stop taking the pills for a week or so and then start back up. Let's hope that works!"


"I got my first depo shot September 26, 2016. I was due December 25, 2016 but I didn't go back because I noticed it made me depressed   I wasn't sexually active so what was the point. 2 weeks after I was due I started a light period and spotting and it's been like that for almost 3 weeks. I'm so frustrated I just want this out of my system. I do not recommend the shot."


"Abilify worked wonders for me. So far the only side effect I have is the involuntary movement of my jaw. And also I sleep like 12 hours in the morning. But so far so good. Haven't gained any weight either and I hope I don't in the future as I have been taking it for just 4 months now."


"Yet another positive review for Hypercare... I tried managing my underarm sweating for almost 10 years, too embarrassed to address the problem. Recent weight loss and a new job working at a fast-paced, hot restaurant finally pushed me to talk to my doctor about a solution to my problem. I, like others on here, was very skeptical- this had been a part of my life for a very long time and I really didn't think anything could fix it. When the box said it may take a week or so for results, I definitely did not expect the sweating to stop the next day... but it did. I worked for 10 hours in 90+ degree weather the day after applying Hypercare and I didn't experience any sweating. I urge anyone with hyperhidrosis to talk to their doctor!"


"I've been on Venlafaxine 300mg along with Quetiapine, Mirtazapine and Pregabalin for Major Depression for around 7 years.Augmentation therapy works for me.  It's not perfect, but this level of Venlafaxine along with the other meds has kept me alive. I'm not getting better, but I'm certainly more stable and not going downhill and not suicidal. So in conclusion, don't be scared of meds, they may just save your life."


"For allergies and allergic reactions this medication worked well. Benadryl had stopped being effective and Claritin has always been useless so I decided to give this a shot. I took it around 5 p.m. and within an hour the misery of the allergies was less and by morning I felt 100% better. Took the product for two weeks until whatever was triggering my allergies finally stopped. No side effects noticed while taking the medication (which for me is rare as I'm allergic to nearly everything). No problems with interactions with heart medication either. Was well worth it."


"It's been working great but been having rapid heart rate on occasions with some migraine. Wondering could it be from the Estring ?? been on it for a few weeks and now I will inform my doctor may be it doesn't work well with my other medication I'm on. Hope it just my body need to adjust to it. It serve it purpose very well."


"I was given hydroxyzine as an alternative to lorazepam since my doctor told me I need to start taking a non addictive alternative. I take my pills at night to help calm my mind so I can go to sleep. Well, the hydroxyzine made me incredibly drowsy and didn't much help with my anxiety. I got to sleep but I remember not being able to get certain images out of my head and the dreams were a little vivid. When I woke up in the morning I was still drowsy, almost as if I didn't just sleep 8 hours. The drowsiness lasted all day and that was the last time I took that medication. Would not recommend for anxiety."


"Started taking Lunesta when I was 15. The brand name works amazingly! Now that insurance doesn't want to cover the brand without a fight,even if they cover I have a 100$ Co pay on it!! I'm stuck with the generic and it's not so great. Definitely doesn't work as well plus the orange generic doesn't work at all, I have to have the blue ones to get any type of sleep."


"I couldn't tolerate apiprazole (Abilify) as a secondary mood stabilizer in addition to the lamotrigine, so I titrated up to 50mg. It helped. A LOT. It stopped the ultradian mood cycling that occurred when they upped my lamotrigine up to 200mg, and it stopped the self-harming urge. It did, in combination with other things, cause kidney stones, but alone did not. It helped quite a bit in stabilizing moods, and I'm just upping to 100mg/night. It did a lot for me, and I'm glad my psych put me on it. I don't want to come off. No weight gain. Even some weight loss. I wasn't expecting it, but I am certainly not sad about it. I'd recommend it, but of course, everyone has different brain chemistry, as noted with my experience with Abilify. <== Nope."


"Had bypass 20 years ago. August 2016 had to have 2 stents and was put on Brilinta. Short of breath most of time. But fatigue is huge problem. MD says if caused by Brilinta maybe time to try Plavix. Not sure if that will be any better. All these meds have such horrible side effects!"


"I have been off and on BuSpar for a little over a year now for severe uncontrollable anxiety but I have to take a high dose for it to work. I just take it as needed. I take 40mg at night. That's when my anxiety seems to bother me the most. If my anxiety is bothering me really bad and I don't take it then I am always up all night long and sometimes 2 days straight. Overall I would recommend this medicine!"


"I was prescribed 10 days of oral capsules of this medication after other medicines did nothing for a moderate skin abscess. Clindamycin is a strong antibiotic, and diarrhea is often a side effect. To help prevent this from happening, I took Acidophilus capsules. Yogurt does not provide enough Acidophilus--you really need the capsules. I took Clindamycin every 6 hours, so in between (that is, 3 hours after the antibiotic) I would take an Acidophlius capsule. I didn't bother getting up in the night to do this. I believe the Acidophilus prevented my getting diarrhea while the antibiotic cured the infection. You can get Acidophilus in health food stores in the refrigerator case."


"Developed a rash all over my body with fever. (Allergic reaction).  Had to stop taking this medication."


"So far I have been On Adipex for 4 days now and I lost 5lbs. I was 299lbs now I am 294lbs. Drinking tons of water and eating plenty of salads, I'm not really exercising but I do go out and walk a lot. I was also on Apidex APRIL of 2011 to June 2011 and lost 30lbs and since my body was healthier I ended up pregnant. Now I am back on it again showing great progress! Good luck everyone!"


"Seroquel is great. Been taking it for seven years. I take 200mg at night for bipolar. It does take time to get used to it. I does cause me to get hungry 30 minute's after taking in it. Just eat a healthy snack. At first I did gain a couple pounds. Searching on line did not help. Everyone's complains how much you need to eat. It's self control. I make sure to exercise everyday. And trust me it's no easy. There's day I have no energy. But I tell my self I have 3 little girl's and have to make sure I do not get fat and unhealthy. I have bad mood swings with out it. It caused me to make it miserable for my wife and kids and coworkers. Driving was a mission everyday."


"These reviews have literally changed my life. 3 months ago, CVS changed my prescription from Gildess to Blisovi Fe 1/20 without notifying my doctor. The pharmacist said Blisovi Fe was a generic brand, so I didn't think anything of it.

But for the last 3 months, my mental health / wellness has been horrible and I had no idea why.  I went from being a very happy person to having depression, acne on my forehead and chin, an almost nonexistent sex drive (which was previously very high), anxiety, and crazy mood swings. Then on a whim, I Googled the side effects of Blisovi Fe 1/20. These reviews gave me a revelation, and I immediately stopped taking it.

The only positives? Didn't get pregnant, didn't gain weight. Still WOULD NOT recommend."


"I got the nexplanon put in sometime last May. After 2 kids and 24 years this was my first birth control, I figured it would be most convenient because I am horrible with taking pills. For the first 2 weeks it was fine but then after that I bled for 90 days straight. I didn't feel any side affects until after that 90 days. I started feeling anxious all the time and I don't want to get out of bed some days or even do any of my normal daily activities. I have been married for 5 years and having sex with my husband was never a "duty" but on this birth control I am never up to it it's horrible. Although not having a period ever now is nice having all the other side affects are not worth it so I am having this implant removed next week."


"I'm 17, I don't really have pimples, But I do have clogged pores and minor black heads. I've been using epiduo for about 2 weeks (prescribed by doctor)  and so far my face is itchy, dry, and I'm breaking out (I don't usually have break outs).  I'm not impressed with the product"


"I have tried to get on the rhythm of taking this birth control pill. The last pill I was in (Orthotricyclin lo) was perfect. After just one week on the first pack of this, I had tremendous nausea to the point that I had to lay down countless times throughout the day. I stopped half way and waited two months. Recently I just began again. The nausea is not as horrible but it is still there. I feel it more if I have to be passenger in a moving car. I'm not measuring my weight so I don't know how it is affecting me. One odd thing is that after years and years of loving coffee, I find it hard to drink now, it recently begun tasting too bitter or too sweet, which was NEVER a problem before. I will have to find another brand in the near future."


"I have been on Bydureon since November 2012 and 2000 mg metformin a day. I am pre diabetic, have hypothyroidism and polycystic ovarian syndrome variance. After much difficulty, this medicine has been a lifesaver! I have lost 51 lbs to date (235 to 184) and am feeling great! My a1c went from 6.5 to 5.7 in three months. I get new lab results next week. I did have side effects in the beginning but I stuck with it and it is fine now. No more nausea. Some diarrhea but I also have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Good luck to anyone out there dealing with this."


"Today was my first day and I feel amazing. Life is on the right track. I feel free from bondage. Small things don't matter anymore. I love the new me"


"I've been using Elocon for over 15 years. I use the liquid lotion on my scalp. If I apply twice a day for a week, my entire scalp is cleared and itch free. Elocon however is not very effective for the psoriasis in my belly button and in my ears. It only works to clear it for 3 days and comes right back.  But for the scalp it's a 10! I also apply it to new spots over my skin if I see them, it nicks any new spots from forming. Elocon states it may thin the skin, but after 10 years, I'm still doing good, no thinning."


"I have a infection on my tooth due to poor root treatment, I'm taking amoxicillin & Metronidazole at the same time, honestly both are not completely helping but I assume it takes some days to the remedy kicks in. I have no side effects as
most of people described."


"Have acute sinusitis, with severe migraine, dizziness, facial pain, TMJ, eye swelling. Was prescribed Augmentin, seems to be working just after 1 days use! I already had severe stomach ache, doc said that's normal for acute sinusitis because all the dripping from the sinuses down our throats, which ends up stewing in our poor bellies! So I really notice no difference with tummyache yet."


"I have experienced outdoor/seasonal allergies all my life in fluctuating intensities. Sometimes I can can go without meds and then suddenly I'm so sneezy, itchy, watery, runny, and congested that I can hardly function. It's like a never-ending flu! So, I bought Flonase, fully aware that the relief wouldn't be instant. It took a day or 2 (literally) and I immediately had absolutely no congestion. I admit that I still sneeze and get a slight runny nose now and then but it was bearable compared to a Flonase-less reaction to pollen. The main con that I have a problem with is that I've been using Flonase for over a month and I have experienced absolutely no relief for my dry itchy (sometimes watery) eyes! Pros, my other symptoms are gone"


"I used Enbrel for Psoriasis for a little over 2 years. I was eager to try something that worked since at that time, nothing did. It worked and continued to work. It was VERY expensive and good thing I had insurance to cover it, or I would be back at square one, feeling and looking terrible. The needle is massive and hurts but it was worth it 100%. After those 2 years, Enbrel started to NOT work and my doctors upped my dosage 3 or 4 times and finally I had to be switched since it just did not work anymore. I researched it and I did read that after X amount of times some patients can and will become immune to the drug. This is what happened to me. I was devastated. So now I have to do IV treatments of Remecade every 8 to 10 weeks."


"It has helped me a lot with my depression and anger problems. For the first time in 9 years I don't wake up mad at the world, with homicidal thoughts. The side effects that I experienced are dizziness when I stand up too fast, and my loss of appetite (not a bad thing). I was over weight anyway. I've only been on it for 2 weeks, and have lost 13 pounds but it makes me feel so much better about myself."


"After taking this medication for a few weeks, I began experiencing really dark urine and diarrhea, as well as pain in my stomach. My doctor instructed me to go off the medication immediately. My symptoms began to subside. It was a painful experience. I won't be taking this medication again."


"I have been using it for almost a month now. My face has made a big improvement but I got lazy and didn't use it for a couple of days and my face exploded with pimples again in that short period of time. I will definitely keep up with it this time. My face has been suffering from hormonal acne due to pregnancy since July of 2010."


"I am a 21 year old male diagnosed with ADD around 4 years ago. About a while back I was prescribed to 50mg of Vyvanse. So far its effects have been very positive. In the past, I have been on Strattera and Adderall. The eupohric feeling Adderall produces brings a high potential for abuse and dependence, along with extreme mood changes and irratability. With Vyvanse, the urge for more does not exist. It is consistent throughout most of the day and delivers concentration and a sense of confidence and well-being. I've had slightly decreased appetite, but am much more productive and focused. I feel that I have gotten my life back. It is the best ADD medicine I have been on. Highly recommended."


"I have been taking this pill for about two weeks now and I feel very depressed. I don't feel like myself at all and I have picked up a little weight just from two weeks. I think I'm about to stop this pill because its making me into a whole different person and I don't like it one bit. I feel sad and worried all the time. Normally I'm a carefree person."


"I have been on Victoza for 10 days at 0.6 and the side effects have been minimal - just a bit of abdominal disturbance late morning and a feeling of tiredness in the afternoon. I have been injecting before breakfast but am thinking of moving that to last thing at night to see if it makes a difference.
Blood sugar readings first thing in the morning are definitely lower. Did feel a loss of appetite in the first few days and ended up missing out lunch, but found I was then eating a lot for supper, so have tried to stick to three meals at day and just keep the portion sizes small. Will no doubt be moved up to a higher dose after the first month but hope this does not cause any additional side effects.  Also take 2500Mg Metformin daily."


"My neurologist put me on this after being on Topamax and propranolol for chronic migraines for 5 months. For the first time in 6 months, I haven't had a headache for 3  consecutive days and it's a miracle! Only thing is that I've been excessively thirsty and having some problems with my vision/dizziness, but she warned me that I would likely experience the dizziness. Such a change in my life."


"Originally I was using a different brand but since getting switched to this.. I “spot” bleed all the time. I’m going off birth control after this pack .. since I'm due to have a period soon anyways. I’ve been bleeding for 3 months straight. I’m haven’t been sexually active for almost a year. Who needs it with all these side effects?"


"Only made a slight difference in coughing.  A bag of cough drops is more effective."


"I've only been on Doryx for 5 weeks so far, but my face is completely smooth except for maybe 1-2 pimples. Around the 3rd week though, my acne got sooooo bad!! My face was just purging all of the bad stuff out, I guess. BUT STICK WITH IT! My face is super smooth now, but I have a lot of scars (makeup can cover those up, but I really want those to go away soon). I didn't rate it a 10 just because I'm not done with the drug yet."


"Took 500mg once a day for one week. I was very tired and a bit jittery, otherwise no issues. I'm finally over my bronchitis."


"Loss leg with riding lawn mower. Still have side effects! The leg  I still have jerks and I still feel the pain of the lawn mower going over my leg. Not at all times but when they do I can't get the pain  or the spasms to let up!"


"I started taking phentermine last Sat. Today being 2/11/17 I've lost 10lbs my first week. The only side effect that bothers me is the hyperactivity and a little paranoia. I hope it goes away. I'll keep you updated."


"Although I only started this medication recently, I wanted to share my experience. I finally made the decision to start the pill because my last period was over two weeks late. After ruling out pregnancy, I discovered that I have a genetic history of ovarian cysts, which are lessened in frequency by birth control. I have also suffered from moderately severe periods, with cramps that made it impossible to go to work or school. I have just completed my first week of Aviane. I have had no nausea and perhaps a slight change in appetite where I eat a little more. What surprised me is that my breasts have grown about a third of a cup size. (This is a pleasant surprise for me, as I am a medium B-cup)."


"For starters, I've been living through endo for 9 years now. But, after two surgeries for ectopic pregnancies my periods and pelvic pain hit an all time high so I decided to give the depo shot a go.

Day three after getting the shot the bleeding/spotting started and never let up. I was constantly wearing a pad or panty liner. No bueno. Along with the spotting was off and on cramping, GI issues, and an insatiable appetite. I was basically having my period every single day. This went on for 4-5 months and let me just say to women worried about gaining weight, NO! Try something else. I gained 23 freaking pounds and now my body doesn't want to let go of that weight. All in all this did nothing but make my severe periods moderate and constant."


"BAD experience.  My fourth colonoscopy but the first using Moviprep.  Previously all colonoscopies worked using a preparation named Cleanprep.  Moviprep just didn't work.  I was booked in for a morning procedure and stuck absolutely to the guidelines as there is NO POINT in going for the procedure if you do not have a clear bowel.  Started drinking the solution (which was relatively pleasant to drink) at 5 pm evening before my morning procedure and had one bowel movement shortly after first batch then NOTHING more!!  just an unpleasant experience for a really negative outcome. Procedure ABANDONED and I'm rebooked.  Afternoon procedure now with different timescale for taking Moviprep - I'd rather take the more unpleasant Cleanprep it WORKS!!"


"I have suffered from depression off and on for years and have taken Zoloft in the past. This time it didn't seem to be working. I also was hit with overwhelming anxiety because of my husband's job difficulties. The doctor prescribed Celexa a couple of months ago. After 3 weeks, I was ready to give up on this because it took longer to kick in than Zoloft. I also had terrible dry mouth and food just didn't taste good. But the Doctor bumped me up to 60 mg and that really did the trick. I only have dry mouth when I first wake up in the morning and food tastes good again. My hubby said that on Zoloft I was more "flat emotioned" but on the Celexa, I have the normal ups and downs that everyone else has. The only negative is that I am on the tired side, but not terribly bad. It is a lot better than wanting to jump in front of a bus. I urge everyone to give this a try and stick with it. Good luck!"


"doctor gave this as antibiotic for a sinus infection 20mg once day for 10 days. First couple days of taking it, started having severe dissociation and racing thoughts, anxiety went up to an all time high. ( I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder/ anxiety since I was 6) started to develop depression so bad that I couldn't think or even go to work, suffered from intense panic attacks, all the while not realizing what was causing me all these problems. I thought I was going mentally insane until on the 6th day of taking this hell drug, I then googled searched the side effects and realized what had been causing my horrible mental breakdown. Immediately stopped taking it and after two days (and two charcoal detoxes) I feel somewhat normal."


"I'm about two months in to having this birth control, and I love it! I had my period the first month after the insertion but don't get one anymore. I did notice hormonal changes after, but they are fading; I'm sure it's just my body getting used to it. The only complaint I have (if anyone else relates, I'm not sure) is that I'm having trouble getting wet. Hopefully this will pass as my body finished adjusting. But all in all, I would definitely recommend it!"


"I have only been on this pill for one cycle, but it seems as if my acne is worse. I was put on Trinessa solely for my acne and now I'm considering stopping. I have read reviews and the vast majority of those reviews mention a huge flare-up in their acne, just as I have, which makes me think that this isn't unusual. I really want to stick with it, but I'm not sure my self-confidence can handle it."


"Like all medications I've ever taken, I followed the directions exactly ("take 2 caplets with a glass of water") and the product worked great, with no side effects. With regard to those complaining that the product was ineffective or gave you bad side effects, PLEASE read the following. Although Excedrin Migraine and Excedrin Extra Strength are the exact same product, it is vitally important to follow the Excedrin Migraine directions if you are taking the pills for a migraine, NOT the directions for Extra Strength Excedrin! Here's why. Many people have incorrectly assumed that because the two products are exactly the same, which they indeed are, that the directions are also the same. THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE. The reason that there is a separate product solely for migraines, and the FDA approved it solely for migraine use only, is because the amount you take for migraines is completely different than for general pain relief, including "regular" headaches. The reason Excedrin Migraine instructs you to take only 2 pills in 24 hours (vs 8 pills in 24 hours for Extra Strength Excedrin) is because taking more than 2 pills in 24 hours (for a migraine) is likely to cause rebound migraines for many people. In other words, taking more pills than the directions tell you to will make your migraine problem worse! You will note on the Excedrin Migraine package that the ONLY use for the product is "treats migraines." Think about that! The directions match that one usage and this is the reason the FDA approved the product. So if you have migraines and want to buy Extra Strength Excedrin, instead of Excedrin Migraine, that's totally fine, but be sure to follow the Excedrin Migraine directions! If you're taking the product for migraines and you take more than 2 pills in 24 hours, you can definitely except to experience the bad side effects that many people have talked about on this site! And keep in mind that although you should NEVER take more than 2 pills in 24 hours (if your using it for migraines), that doesn't mean you can't take just 1 pill in 24 hours. For some people, just 1 pill will get rid of your migraine. If 1 pill isn't working for you, then you can always take another one during each 24 hours. So less is fine, but more is a huge mistake. I hope I've made my point. Review sites in general tend to attract people who have bad things to say about a product. People who have a good experience with a product are much less likely to post their comments on a site like this. Why? Because angry people want to vent. This is not to say that some people who complain are insincere or haven't followed the directions of the product. There are always going to be people who a product just doesn't work for. But most people who properly follow the directions will not have bad results. Also, for migraines specifically, finding a product that truly gets rid of them can be very difficult for many people. It's trial and error. If one product doesn't work, you try another until you hopefully find one that does the trick. So a product not getting rid of your migraines is one thing, but having painful or uncomfortable side effects is another. Follow the directions and you most likely will never have the bad side effects. Whether it works to get rid of your migraine is a coin toss, but at least you won't have the bad side effects in most cases. I hope this helped. Good luck to all migraine sufferers. I know how awful they are."


"Long story short...At the end I was drinking over a liter of vodka per day for over 2 and 1/2 years.  I went to a traditional rehab/detox facility in which I went in to one of the worst cases of DT's the doctors/nurses/counselors they had ever seen.  I was in a coma for three days.  The program was 7 days...I was drinking again by day 9.  I realized my life, marriage, and family were falling apart.  I found a psychiatrist who utilizes Antabuse/Valium therapy.  I told him about my strong concerns based upon the seizures and coma coming off of alcohol my previous attempt and was literally scared to die in my sleep.  He reassured me over and over that it would work...he was right and I have not had a drink for almost a month. "


"Wow!! Sicker than a dog yesterday. I had bronchitis and my Dr prescribed Levaquin. This morning already a marked improvement!! No side effects and on my way to feeling good as new!"


"I was diagnoised with Fibromyaligia back in the mid 90's but didn't treat it till I started to feel so bad in 2000, and I had to work, so I was on Prox-y-propanate for several years till it was pulled from the market, was then on Vicodin 4x a day and it worked great, but so many people have abused it or died from some mixing of it and other drugs that my Dr. pulled me off and put me on Tzanidine, which gave me headaches and heartburn, then on to Clondine, which made me tired and a terrible dry cough, then finally to Gabepentine, which has been awesome, I also take Duloxetine, and together they have me feeling awesome, I can go to my exercise classes everyday and the energy is great remember try everything, donot give up!"


"Ooh my... what a nightmare the past 6 months have been!!! I relate with a lot of the comments here.  I was nauseous and moody mostly but when I say moody I mean full on psychotic episodes... I'm surprised my boyfriend is still even with me..
I felt hopeless and unmotivated 24/7...stay away from this awful medication!!!"


"I only went through one pack of these before I contacted my doctor and she changed me to a different type of birth control. I needed these for my irregular periods and hormonal acne and this did nothing for either of those. It was just a waste of time. Did not work."


"I have suffered migraines maybe 4 times a year or so since I was little. Usually accompanied by vomiting and complete inability to function. The past two years, after having my second daughter, the migraines have amped up to 3 or 4 a month- sometimes more. Imitrex works almost always to eliminate the migraine. Every once in awhile I wait too long and have to take two. I have no side effects to speak of which is crazy to me because I can't even use herbal remedies without experiencing weird side effects. I'm thankful for the scientists who created this drug. I always have it with me just in case and it keeps me from being out for the count with my two little girls."


"Just finished a 7 day course of Levaquin (500 mg oral tabs) for pneumonia. My infection was not severe, but I noticed effects practically immediately. Within 24 hours I felt so much better. It did make me slightly nauseous at first, until I began taking it only on a full stomach. Did not notice any other side effects. I drank a LOT of water while I was sick, which may have helped."


"9 months in: The first period that I had on Implanon was about 2 wks later than expected and lasted about 2 wks long. Since then all of my periods have come within about a wk of when I would have expected them. Each period has been shorter in length, as well as lighter. (Usually there are only about 2 days of bleeding that are really noticeable but the other 5-8 days are just spotting on and off). I look forward to the day when it is just a few days of spotting, or less.
As far as other side effects go: I have maybe one bad headache every other month. I noticed no weight gain until recently (which is probably due more so to the holidays than the Implanon!). I do have a lot of acne, especially on my chest. Despite these negatives, I like it!"


"My dose is 150mg at night.
First week: weird dreams but I persisted with it.
Second week: weird dreams stopped. Felt same as before.
Third week: anxiety gone! That was three years ago. I now manage return of mild anxiety by walking one to two hours a day."


"Excellent med. Tolerate perfectly. Very much improves my glucose intolerance. Improves my mood as well and high improvement in my quality of life."


"I was a 38 year old male, 100 pounds overweight, with hypertension (at doctor's office typical BP measurement was 155/95) and tachycardia and arrhythmia with intense exercise. My resting heart rate would also occasionally be high when I felt angry (which was, and is, often). I was prescribed 10 mg Bystolic and within an hour I felt calmed and my heart rate went from >80 to <60. Over the next few weeks on 5 mg daily, my blood pressure measurements had dropped about 10 points on systolic and diastolic. It is now 4 years later, my doctor's office blood pressure measurement is typically 130/80 (at home 125/75), and I've lost the 100 pounds. I am now reducing my dose to 2.5 mg. "


"Paxil worked very well for my anxiety. I used to not be able to function in a crowded room but now I am fine. I find that it also gives me sturdy thick erections which I never used to have."


"I start to have a lot of small acnes again after I was off from Benzamycin for around half year. I was then prescribed Doxycyclin, Clindamycin and Retinol at the end of February. Hearing that Doxycyclin might cause side effects, I decided to not take it. While starting Retinol and Clindamycin, I was peeling, burning and breaking out like crazy. I wore a mask for a whole week when I went to work because I couldn't put make up on and it looked terrible. After two weeks of pain, I finally gave up Retinol and only used Clindamycin. In two weeks, my acnes starts clearing up. Now, it has been a month and my skin is 95% cleared. I really like this medication because it's not dry at all. (Maybe because my skin is used to it already)Give a try!"


"I took the Sovaldi Ribavirin combo when it came out in  2014.  I had genotype 3 of Hep C (habitual IV drug user) which  has a much lower success rate than gens 1 & 2 (@ 25% lower!), so I prepared to be disappointed.  But I dosed at the same time every day, did not miss a single one, and followed my doc's instructions to the letter. I pre-planned my Tx thoroughly bc I have a history of very bad luck with my physical health. But in 4 wks I was Undetectable! And felt like total crap and had hallucinations in the first month, I think that is rare but still not fun at all! Once I acclimated to the meds it subsided, but I still felt awful overall for the whole 6 months. I have been done with Tx over a year and still Undetectable - so it works!"


"18. PCOS

 I am sorry to say that I would not recommend the IUD to anyone! I got mine inserted on a Wednesday and the following Monday I ended up in the ER In the middle of the night in excruciating pain! It took the gynae team 3 days!!! To figure out what was wrong! They even tried to discharge me and tell me I was fine!! (I was not impressed) The IUD had became dislodged from my uterus and my uterus kept contracting to try and expell it - no doctor required to remove it... It basically fell out- only upside - I was having bleeding for 5 months and it stopped 2 days after the IUD insertion but still not worth it in my opinion!"


"I suffered from Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome; similar to an abdominal migraine.  Gastroenterologist prescribed Phenergan suppositories as a prophylaxis.  It prevented the onset of the nausea and vomiting.  Just knowing it is it my refrigerator should I need it has stopped the cycle. "


"I had patches of acne all over my face and they were bothering me, so I started using Epiduo, which was prescribed by my doctor. At first, my skin was peeing slightly and it made my face burn so bad, like it was on fire. I toughed it out and after a week or two it stopped. My skin is very clear now, other than a very small pimple here or there. I would recommend Epiduo to anyone."


"I am Bipolar II, have mild ADD (no H), and also suffer from depression.  Have been on almost every type of anti-depressant known to man.  Currently taking Lamictal, Ritalin, Brintellix, Buspar, and Trazadone (great med!).  While I have felt more positive on this med, I have also gained 15 pounds in 9 months, developed a rash a month after starting this, and will absolutely throw up if I don't take it with food.  Hate the weight gain, etc........will talk to my doc about discontinuing......."


"I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety at a very young age, I believe I wasn't at the age of 10 yet. Anyways I started taking a medicine for about 6 years and it stopped working so we switched to Celexa. I now have night sweats, a dry mouth, bad drainage, and a swollen uvula. These symptoms haven't stopped and it's been several months, we think I have a virus but I believe it might be the Celexa. I'm 13 years old and I'm taking 20mg because they keep increasing my dose. But overall I haven't noticed any changes from any of the other medications I've taken. "


"I have been taking Ambien for about 6 months, and it does the job very well. I generally take half of my 5mg pill a few nights/week. I have to take it and go directly to bed, or I have zero memory of what happens between taking it and falling asleep. The reason that I rate it so low is that I've started to notice that I have hours of the next day (after taking it the night before) that I have absolutely no memory of. I've sideswiped the guardrails in my car on the way to work and had no idea that I had done so until my husband asked what happened to the car. I had a very faint 'did I dream that or did it really happen' recollection of it. I take it fairly early in the evening. "


"I have been a pack a day smoker for over 20 years. Previuosly I've quit successfully on the patch and Zyban. Recently, I had a dream that I was told I had lung cancer and it was so vivid I called my doctor and started taking Chantix. It's now week 5 and I'm smoke free and feel great. Only side affects are ocasional nausea and vivid dreams, ironic and no problem. You still have to be motivated to get past the cravings, but Chantix takes the Nicotine punch out of quitting so its bearable. "


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I went on Beyaz to get rid of my acne, and in the first couple weeks I saw immediate results, which was wonderful! I haven't noticed any weight gain but I was nauseous every day the first weeks. My sex drive is still pretty normal for me. I would say the only bad side effects that I have is that its made me so emotional! Depressed and anything along those lines, and the nausea but at least my face is clear."


"Was experiencing GAD, major depressive disorder and OCD for about 9 months. Been in and out of hospitals with no real help. Decided to try mirtazipine alone (always took it in addition to an SSRI, never alone). Started with 15 mg but broke it up into three times a day. 7.5 mg in the morning, 3.75 mg at noon, then another 3.75 mg at bedtime). Saved my life. Initially, my anxiety just about disappeared which in turn helped my depression. After about 2 weeks, I started waking up with returning anxiety and depression but am continuing with 15 mg until I see my doctor in 2 weeks. I can't say enough about this med. I'm not able to take normal ADs, mood stabilizers, or benzos as I experience terrible side affects."


"It was discovered that I had high blood pressure in October '15 at the dentist.  It was 177/90.  I was shocked.  I had no clue it was so high.  I eventually went to a cardiologist & was checked out.  My heart was fine but my blood pressure had gone up to 198/95.  I tried an herbal supplement but it didn't touch it.  When I went to the doctor he put me on Azor 5/40mg.  I have been on it for about 2 months.  My blood pressure ranges between 134/80 to 114-68.  So the Azor has definitely helped. I am one who has side effects to most drugs but I can only say I have one slight one with Azor. I do get tired & nod off if I'm sitting in a chair watching TV in the evening. I had been taking the Azor in the morning.  I will take it at night instead."


"If I could give this drug a zero, I would! Doc started me on 5 mg and I took ONE pill, with a small snack, right before bed. The next day I had nausea so incredibly bad, I couldn't move or function! I was dry-heaving all day, had no appetite, and twice, got very clammy and felt like I was going to pass out. If those problems weren't enough, during the evening, I had the most painful headache I've ever had in my life! It also made me feel anxious and irritable. I decided to NEVER take this drug again and am STILL severely nauseous, and incredibly fatigued, two days later!"


"Lorzone really helps with the muscle spams and pain; however, it KILLS my stomach even when taken with food and a stomach protection med."


"I too suffer from insomnia. I've been on ambien since I gave birth to my son. Every few months I have to stop taking it because it loses its effect on me. In February, I was one of the first persons to try Belsomra. 10mg was my dosage. It didn't work at all. My doctor told me to double up. I like that it focused of a different part of the brain. When it did work, after 2 pills, it was fine. Maybe I should try a new dose. I'm back on ambien until it wears off."


"Received the first shot the end of June, within a week I started with a rash on my neck, red swollen and itched day and night. Second week started with red blotches on either side on my mouth, blistered and peeled and was painful and itchy. It is now over 2 months later and the redness is fading but the itching still is awful, wakes me up at night with the itching. I have tried everything with no relief. I will not be taking another shot."


"This is the first review i have ever written , But this product defiantly deserved a review! I am 27 years old and have struggled with acne since i was 14 ! i have tried EVERYTHING!! I was dubious about trying another topical cream especially after reading the reviews on this product and reading all the horror story's of it breaking people out more ect, But i can honestly say straight from the begging it worked!, It started to clear everything up and clear my skin from the first use! no burning ect like everyone had mentioned. I would suggest applying a moisturizer on top of the cream to prevent dryness and flaking. But please do not be put off by the reviews as i almost was!."


"Since getting a tubal ligation 10 years ago, I have had heavy periods,  over the years it has gotten heavier & more painful, I got anemia, and so fatigue at least 2 weeks before period and then my cycle would last at least 9-10 days. So basically a week out of the month I was semi-normal. The beginning of this year I barely found out you can take birth control to stop your period, obviously I jumped on that, got a prescription for Jolessa. Started it & my period still came as usual but wasn't that heavy, and then for the next 2 months I had spotting everyday.....but then the 3rd month maybe 1 or 2 days of breakthrough bleeding because I forgot to take a pill. Now 10 months of taking Jolessa I don't have a period at all."


"I was worried about starting hormonal birth control because I didn't want to become all crazy with mood swings and such. However, I haven't had anything like that with Nora-Be. You have to take it at the exact same time every day, but for me that's easy, I just set the alarm on my phone. The only downfall is that I've broken out with acne on my chest and somewhat on my face, not very attractive, but a small price to pay for not getting pregnant."


"This helped me a lot. Read all the reviews and ordered online. I was so anxious at times. I could not get out a word. From school days I struggled with anxiety. I could not even do a oral test infront of my class. This went on for years. I avoid situations where I have to be infront of people. 3 weeks ago I got married. This was a miracle. I took 60mg an hour before and was feeling great!!!!! Everything went really well. Not a sign of anxiety that day. Thanks."


"For three years I self medicated with over the counter codeine for anxiety and depression. I never ever wanted to take antidepressants thinking I just needed to eat healthier, .be more social, find a better job, excercise etc.  After several weeks of panic attacks and gaining weight I decided I would fill the script for Lexapro (I got Lexam).  I took 5mg the first night and instantly felt calm, a bit dizzy/dopey and went to bed. The next day I felt spaced out and also defeated for taking them. It felt a bit like walking in water...slow. The next day I felt great! I've been on them a week and no more anxiety, depression. Now I have something to GIVE to my family and friends and can work new Jobs and socialise and connect with strangers."


"I have severe dysmenorrhea which is painful periods. I cramp terribly to where I can barely walk. I was allergic to my last pill so I had to switch. At first Junel was great. But then I noticed I went from 164 to 174. But during that time I bled for 15 days then not at all the next month. Severe cramping. Depression. Mood swings. Migraines where I can't be around light it sound. As well as acne on my jaw line and clusters. I never get acne. Now I weigh 187. 23 pounds I gained. I'm a D1 athlete so it's not like I'm lazy. I wanted to switch but my doctors nurse practitioner said to stay on it. Best believe I'm switching ASAP."


"Two weeks ago I began taking Lexapro and it is nothing short of a miracle. Although I was told it would take up to three weeks to work, I experienced relief almost immediately, within days. Prior to taking Lexapro, I was having suicidal thoughts nearly every day. My depression was so severe that it would wake me in the middle of the night, like a sharp pain or intense nausea. I would then lay awake. Since I started Lexapro, I haven't had any abnormal levels of anxiety or depression and I haven't had any suicidal thoughts. Side Effects: sleepy (take at night), mild nausea, extremely (almost too) mellow."


"Most effective and longest lasting medication on my son's symptoms. I was also informed by the pharmacist that It was no longer available. No explanation available either. I'm curious as to why manufacturing has ceased. "


"I had strep throat for 2 days after taking amoxicillin/clavulanate after the first pill I was 60 per cent better it works"


"I started Saxenda on March 3, 2017 starting weight 214 lbs. at .6 mg on March 10, 2017 I increased my dosage to 1.2 mg. and noticed some side effects abdominal pain, burping, constipation, decreased appetite and tiredness.  When I woke up today I felt sick on my stomach and vomit for the first time, one the side effects decreased I started feeling better, but notice my appetite is very low. I can barely eat any foods. I have lost more then 8 lbs with in 2 weeks. I contacted my doctor who recommended that I don't increase my dosage, and I am under care with an nutritionist who has me on low carbohydrate diet of 135 carbs, per day. I am happy that this drug is working, but has some concerns feeling tired."


"Took two tablets as prescribed.  After an hour, I experienced extreme nausea and heavy sweating for nearly 2 1/2 hours."


"Hi! I had my Skyla inserted at 11am this morning. I've been on birth control pills since I was 18 (I'm now 31) with a history of ovarian cysts (when I was 17) and periods that were super heavy and lasted 7-10 days (prior to taking any pill). My last pill, Natazia, caused a pedunculated fibroid to grow to 12cm (larger than a grapefruit) and 7 smaller ones. I had an abdominal myomectomy on 7/21/15 and Skyla was the best option for continued birth control since estrogen caused my fibroids.
The insertion was not pleasant. It hurt, maybe a 7 out of 10 and is absolutely like a cramp.
Spotting all day long and popping Advil for cramps! Hoping tomorrow the cramping is over and I can feel normal! Fingers crossed as this IUD is my only option!"


"Works quickly, no "hangover" or side effects, have taken it for 2 years with no need to up dosage- more effective than Lunesta or Ambien for me and no side effects."


"My daughter (6 years old) has been on Focalin for 30 days now, to control her ADHD.  This is our wonder drug. Gives her the control she needs, without making her have ups and downs.  She hasn't experienced any problems with sleep, and we can see the medicine leave her after about 6 hours."


"My urinary tract infection symptoms were not nearly as painful as the side effects of this medicine. It cleared up the UTI in a day but by the second day, it was nausea, extreme fatigue, no appetite, joint and muscle pain, stomach pain and complete weakness, chills and fever. Pharmacist said it was probably the UTI. Now it's day 5 and I'm in agony. Stopping Macrobid and calling the doctor in the morning."


"After taking this medicine for some 2 years I started to get swelling in the eye areas. Twice it just swelled up around the upper eye lids. Last night, during the night it swelled up completely the other eye, went to emergency room and the whole time I thought it was just allergies. The doctor said it was lisinopril and if I don't stop taking it, it could swell up the neck area and close off the breathing. If you are having this swelling, be sure to tell your doctor."
