"I'm 46 yrs old, I started Depo Provera to control my severe periods. I've had 2 shots so far. The first month I had spotting. This month I have had bleeding, clotting and cramps for over 12 days and continuing.  I've also noticed mood swings.  I've also noticed an uptick in my blood pressure which I've been watching closely.  I'm not sure I'll be takeing the next shot.  I don't want excessive bleeding, moodiness and high blood pressure. These symptoms may also be attributed to my age,"


"Apri was great for the first month and a half. I take this pill religiously and have never missed or thrown up a dose. Then I had the worst period I've ever experienced in my life while I still had a week and a half of active pills left. I couldn't even drive that week. The period symptoms finally ended but the bleeding itself did not. It lightened up, but continued for three more weeks. This is ruining my sex life for the time being and I've gone through two boxes of liners. I switched to a higher dose of estrogen and will start taking it next week - and thank God."


"This drug is a nightmare!!! Total fatigue with breathlessness, Arm weakness and numbness, nausea, light headedness. Now have developed tinnitus which is a constant pulsation through ears and head. My white blood cells have dropped dangerously low and my red blood cells are really poor. I am naturally now off the drug but don't know how long till I get back to health. ONLY GO ON THIS DRUG AS A LAST RESORT>"


"Ive had the skyla IUD for over a year now. It was very painful, even with cervix softening drugs, remember to take ibuprofen as well. It was inserted and I experienced heavy cramping. Before I had tried every birth control imaginable. I love my skyla. I was scared the first few months and had pregnancy tests on hand, but my RN reassured me after my month post op that I couldn't get pregnant. I would recommend skyla to everyone. Especially since on the depo shots I gained weight. The skyla has some progesterone but not so much as the depo Shots. Only downfall is the re insertion of my new IUD in 2 years. I have lost 10 pounds, and never have to remember appointments! Insurance covered because it's preventive health, no babies for me !!"


"I had the Mirena put in 9/4/13. It is 11/5/13 & I have not had 1 single day w/out bleeding!! This is so effective at birth control because you cant possibly have sex with all the bleeding it causes!! i am 38, of average weight and had it inserted for birth control, not to treat any other symptom. For me, getting it inserted was mildly uncomfortable, was over quickly. I was able to go running that same day...so I wasnt uncomfortable at all. I did take 800mg of ibuprofen before the appointment. The first 2 weeks I broke out with really nasty acne along my jawline. I think my hair has thinned. I have also experienced Migraine w/aura :-(  My Mirena has until Jan., if this hasnt fixed itself, its coming out."


"JUST GO TO THE DOCTOR!! It is currently 5:43am and I've been awake for about 45 minutes now with a bag of ice on my lady parts, so it can somewhat release the itch and burn. I should have read the reviews on this cream, so I advice you to just go to the doctor to get medicine - this is awful. I do not know what to do besides stay in pain....Ladies just go to the doctor I beg of you so you do not have to be in so much discomfort !!!!!"


"I'm 19 years old, I've suffered from depression, stress, bulimia and anxiety for several years. My background is Chinese, therefore my parents are very judgmental (not all Chinese parents are) but they don't really believe in such kind of illness and they will lose face if any of their friends knew what was wrong with me, one day I couldn't bare it so I went to the doc, she gave me citalopram 10mg. This is my second day, I've experience dizziness and diarrhea but apart from that I feel like I've been more happy and positive."


"I've been on this pill for about 3 years. I got on it because I've had horrible cramps, and heavy bleeding on my period. I only have a period for 2 days, I get mild cramps now. The only side effect I had other than the period was that I had gained a few pounds. I would recommend this pill to anyone."


"I am overall happy with the nexplanon. I got mine January 2015, and have not had a period since. The only side effects I've noticed are acne, slight decrease in sex drive, and weight gain. Though the weight gain is good for me since I've always been hopelessly underweight no matter what I did. This was excellent for me, I hope it's good for all of you!"


"I was on Prozac for a month & I got super bad nauseas feelings & sick all the time. I got off & my doctor put me on Zoloft & I feel so much happier. I feel happier, but not fixed. I guess it's a work in progress"


"I like zyrtec but I seem to have a strange metallic taste in my mouth. I can't find this listed as a side effect?"


"I have "jumpers knee" tendonitis. I play softball and I am a outfielder...I also workout 5 times a week. Back in my days I ran track as well...I guess it all caught up to me in my early 30's ..I couldn't lift my leg below my knee it was so painful, my sports dr prescribed Voltaren and when I used it as prescribed 4x's a day I saw a good bit of improvement..."


"Vimpat is a cursed drug to me. Its helped with my seizures, but its not worth it for the side effects.

I started it with Lamictal XR 500 mg. I had seizures at Vimpat 100 mg. At 200 mg, I was having extreme vertigo-- I couldn't even lay down. It happened a few times, along with other side effects. The doctor balanced it out at Lamictal XR 400 mg and Vimpat 150 mg. I have double-vision at least one a week (mild to high), nausea frequently, vomiting a few times a month, and sometimes off balance. A mild vertigo has happened a few times. If I don't eat it with a good amount of food, the side effects are almost guaranteed for me. It stops the seizures, but its not worth it."


"Okay hey ladies! Me and my boyfriend had a condom break so  I took plan b about an hour later. Then, about a week later, I got a period. Now this was about two weeks early but it's pretty normal for this to happen with plan b. It also is a good sign that the pill worked but it isn't a promise. So, I anxiously waited for my normal period but as that time was going by I looked into getting an IUD. And now that I just got my period today, I can go back and get an IUD in!!! For everyone out there who doesn't want to go through this again, I highly recommend an IUD. They can come with or without hormones, are 99.9% effective, and can stay in for 3-12 years! The insertion only lasts a couple min and they are free! Stay safe :)"


"I have had migraines for 9 years. A few years ago I started having them almost daily. After a while,  It took more medication to get less pain relief. I was having daily headaches. I would take Advil to take the edge off for a few hours, then take imitrex, than another imitex, then Tylenol, then back to Advil. I spent days in bed. I tried everything to stop the headaches. I tried Botox, beta blockers, anti-seizure meds, SSRIs, magnesium. Then I read about Frova. I switched from imitex and took them every 12 hours for a week to try to control my menstrual migraine. It was amazing. But better than that as I used Frova for a few months the headaches lessened. My headaches are back to a few a month, and Frova takes them away. A miracle drug!"


"Tried all other bi-polar medicines throughout the past 10 yrs. This one has the least side effects of them all. People tell me my behavior has vastly improved on Depakote. It's hard for me to see myself through other peoples eyes. But, sometimes maybe I should. Personally, for me, Depakote has been a life saver, I didn't want to live with it but find I can not live without it."


"Run from this medication, it is toxic, I took it from Jan 26,2016 - Feb 13, 2016 , Here is how my doc prescribed it 14 days starter pack, then I started the higher dose on Fri 2/12/16 , Sat was my last day taking that poison, today I feel as if I'm withdrawing from something much stronger that I been on much longer and what's worse this is the only medication I was taking, from day 1, I felt so bad, but I thought it would get  better, it never did, it only got worse, here are/ were some of my side effects... dry mouth, fast heart rate, anxiety, insomnia, nervousness, anger, gums hurting, blurred vision, rash, this is from 16 days only, because I skipped a day or two, trust me, stay away from Qsymia, it is not worth any weight loss."


"I have mixed Bipolar symptoms and was increasing on the Monic side. 1 Clonidine and in 15 minutes I had some relief and felt nearly normal. I like that it is an as needed drug and I don't have to take it everyday like my other medicines. The only drawback is that it only lasts 4-6 hours and you have to take it again but to feel nearly "normal" I will do that."


"The first 3 weeks of this medication I lost 17lbs, with little to no side effects. However, at exactly the 3 week mark I began having nothing but watery bowel movements accompanied by gas like cramps. This has gone on for 4 weeks almost everyday. I have now lost a total of 30lbs. So yes, it curbs hunger, charges your metabolism, but you can't leave the house to show off your weight loss or be active because you are stuck in the bathroom for hours at a time. I am now quitting Adipex so that it does not cause long term problems. It's a great kick start for a lifestyle change but the side effects are not worth it to me."


"I started Phentermine on January 13, 2017 as of today February 11, 2017 I have lost 16 pounds. I have not worked out at all. Ive been eating a salad at 11:00 and 3 chicken stripes with ranch and chic fa la sauce from Chic fa la for dinner everynight. I lost 9 pounds my first week, 5 pounds my second week, and 2 pound my third week. I didnt lose any week during my last week probably because I cheated almost everyday. 261 to 245 so far. Wish me luck on my next bottle."


"Update to review below. I have now been on Effexor XR for six months, and I can honestly say that it's worked wonders in eliminating my depression and obsessive thinking. I wasn't able to stay on the low 37.5mg dose, as I discovered that this is a starting dose only. I have been on 150 mg for about four months, and apparently this is the lowest effective dose for achieving a therapeutic effect for most disorders. My depression has gone, and I no longer have obsessive thoughts that were making daily life a living hell. The only drawback with Effexor XR is that it has low half life, which means that it doesn't stay in your system for long, and if you miss a dose you will feel withdrawal within a few hours. This medicine has been a life saver!"


"I have been on leflunomide since 2007. It took a bit to kick in and once it did, I felt better. I was having a lot of diarrhea so my doctor decreased my dose from 20mg/day to 10mg/day. It made no difference in the diarrhea so we decreased it and I tried Imuran. About 2 weeks after switching, I was still having issues with diarrhea and it was clear the Imuran was not helping. So we went back to leflunomide 20mg/day ASAP.  In the beginning, I had some nausea, but I began taking my dose at bedtime and had no other problems. I now take it in the morning with no nausea. I have hair loss but not enough that others notice. I simply take folic acid to combat that."


"I have cystic acne on my cheeks and on the sides of my lips. I had a bad breakout previous to getting this so when I started using it, it took only 2 days for these to clear up. Which was awesome. Only been 2 weeks. But so far so good. Also I think it's helping with the healing after the Zit. When I would normally get a dime sized purple spot after the cystic acne, this has cleared my acne without there being a spot after, so that's a plus.

I have insurance but I was still given a discount card for this. 25$ with insurance. 75 without insurance."


"I am updating my last 8 star review of a week or 2 ago below in thread.

Update:  The sleep disruption/insomnia  (oftentimes waking 2-4 am and not getting back to sleep) subsided after 3 weeks of starting the generic form of Lexapro (on 10 mg for almost a month).   I am sleeping well again without assistance from Xanax.  I haven't taken X in 5 nights and sleeping my usual 7 hours.  It's wonderful.  No anxiety either.  Give this drug a chance if you can stick out the sleep problems.  It works.  I feel myself again and am not worrying over worrying about anxiety. Not afraid to go anywhere, for fear I'd get that old sense of dread and unease.  I don't even think about it.  It doesn't matter the time of day you take it by the way."


"I've been on this birth control pill for about a year and a half... so far no pregnancies, my skin is clear but I've always been lucky in that department. My hair actually feels thicker! No weight gain and no headaches. My period is usually 2-3 days long and super light. Sometimes I only spot for a day and that's it. I used to have severe cramps prior to getting on this birth control to the point I was prescribed muscle relaxants (that bad!)... and now its slight cramping for a day or two the week of my "period". Everyone's body is different but I have had no side effects on this pill. "


"I suffered severe headaches & nausea for hours from the very first dose & every dose thereafter. I would feel faint, overheated, extremely tired; I slept with the windows open and the heat off (it's winter). 4 days of taking Macrobid, I begin to have loose stools & severe muscles aches & neck stiffness. I began to have a sore throat & a dry cough on day 2. After stopping, within 24 hours I begin to itch severely. I've been off of it for 48 hours & I still have a headache & I use Benadryl for the itching. I was given Levaquin in 1 dose, then Macrobid 100 mg 2X a day for 10 days by the ER doctor. But my primary doctor thought it was an overkill and should have used just the Levaquin."


"I have suffered from insomnia for many years.  I have been on Remeron for 10 years but decided to wean off this medication.  I began really having problems staying asleep after completely stopping this medication  I was so very hopeful that Silenor would work for me but sadly after trying it for 10 nights, I have not had success.   I carefully took Silenor on an empty stomach and as directed.  I continue to awaken at 2-3 a.m. and cannot return to sleep."


"Been taking Saxenda since 19th May - and so far I haven't lost anymore weight since I last posted here on 28th May. I'm on the full 3mg Dose, no side effects, no weight loss and if anything my hunger has gone back to normal
Really don't think its work for me. Which is very upsetting and disappointing. I have very irritating rash at the injection site and I also have discovered a cyst on my lady parts which I never had before using this drug. I think it's time to come off Saxenda."


"Prozac works great for me.  It's helped pull me out of my 4 year depression.  I wished I would have asked for help sooner.  Prozac helped me get my "spark" back again."


"Taking Abilify greatly improved my mood, anxiety and depression.  However approximately 2 months into treatment I started having severe headaches, face and lips swelled also breast tenderness and warm to touch.  Today I decided to discontinue the medication.  Over all it's a very good medication, I just can't take it."


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"I'm 35 and one of the first memories I have is me at about four reeling in pain from IBS-D. I have often thought about just taking the easy way out due to the constant agony. Then one day an amazing gastro suggested Donnatal and within about three hours of taking it I was pain free. This stuff is a life changer for me at least."


"I have currently been taking Dexedrine spansules for 16 years. 90 mg a day. ADHD had ruined my life up until I was 36 years old. Now all the standard symptoms are under control and have been since I started the medication. I would personally check with a good doctor if you are suffering with this disorder."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Exception medicine with zero side effects."


"I have been taking Loestrin for 8 months now. After about the 3rd month of taking it, I have had no period. It has not helped my acne, though. I was on the Depo shot for about a year and it was nice, until I gained 15 pounds. That's why I switched to the pill. So far, I love it. No period, no weight gain, and no increased acne. I have been on a slew of different birth controls and they all seemed to either make me depressed, gain weight, make my periods weird, and even almost costed me my marriage. My husband said "no more birth control." It all made me crazy. This is a wonderful little white pill. He has no complaints about my moods with this one."


"I use Saphris PRN in conjunction with Xanax QID for anxiety. Takes the edge off at 5mg, makes  me very sleepy, doesn't dampen Anxiety related tremor or stutter. Tastes yuck, but great for sleeping, 15 minutes and I'm down for 8 hours. My first experience with anti-psychotics off label use."


"Dizzy in KC you should see your doc ASAP. I am your same age and had a similar experience. I was diagnosed with Miniere's Disease by an ENT. It's been a couple of weeks and I'm finally starting to feel a little better, thanks to the Meclizine and diuretic."


"On it for 6 years 200mg twice a day. This was a life-changing drug for me I also take Ritalin which has been working for the last 2 years. The lamictal really makes me feel like I have a repaired foundation in my personality. The Ritalin has added to my concentration and keeps me calm and even keeled.  I had tried many other medications from my psychiatrist that worked for a short time,   but nothing has been as long lasting as these 2 medications.  One of the best reasons I have for knowing that they are doing their job is.. most people who know me such as friends ,  family and fiance would like to give my doctor a great big kiss.."


"Since I have been on Pro-Air I haven't been experiencing shortness of breath as much and it has helped my chronic bronchitis as well"


"This medicine gave me way too much energy. The other night I went on a run at midnight, because I had to burn off the energy. I would say it definitely made me extremely manic. I also stopped getting my period on it, and my breasts grew larger as well. Strange.."


"Not only does a 0.5mg shut down racing thoughts and anxiety it reduces depression. Been on every other antidepressants out there with awful side effects.  Don't need to take it every day. "


"I've been taking Benicar HCT 40/25 for a couple of years my blood pressure has gone down. Then I started having trouble with some side effects rapid heartbeat and some thyroid issues."


"It's only been about 4 days since my first loading dose and I am absolutely amazed at how much my skin has improved and I'm feeling a lot less itchy. I've struggled with severe eczema since I was little and to finally experience relief is really exciting and amazing. I'm so grateful and happy to finally be feeling better and to know that others who struggle can feel better too!"

"Amazing for pain and cough alike"


"nausea, diarrhea, vivid dreams,Two days on starter pack, stopped taking it and it took a couple days to get rid of the side effects."


"This is the best muscle relaxer, in my opinion. I took a star off because it knocks me out cold. If I'm asleep, I'm not going to feel pain or spasms either way."


"I had my 1st child in November 2014 and got Mirena January  2015. I spotted for the 1st month and a half. I've had cramping, no sex drive, lack if energy, acne, hair itching, and gained 20 pounds in 4 months. I finally got Mirena removed today 6/17/2015 and I already feel better. No cramps I've been able to work from 5 am to 130 go to the gym, go shopping, and play with my baby without fatigue. The RN was giving me a hard time and stating my research is wrong and Mirena doesn't make women gain weight due to such low hormones but I told her everyone's body is different, and this was not the right birth control for me. I told her even all my coworkers that have it right now are experiencing the same issues so what does that tell you? She acted like she had an attitude because she couldn't talk me out of removing it, but I don't care it's my body my choice. I hope that this helps someone. If this is what it costs to not have a period I'd rather have mines!"


"On the advise of a friend my wife and I started taking Bonine 24 hrs before we departed on a small ship cruise in the Caribbean. It was the best advise we could have gotten because at night while traveling between the islands the weather was very very rough. Over half the people on the cruise were extremely sea sick and miserable. We felt fine and had no issues at all. I highly recommend this product."


"After reading the reviews for this product on here, I was terrified! All the ladies who said it burned them so bad and to never use it, made me hesitate a few days because my infection was mild. However, it got worse so I decided to suck it up and use it! I was laying down after applying it and I was shocked that I felt no burning or anything! It actually felt good and the irritation immediately subsided! I'm on my 3rd day and I feel excellent! I still have a slight redness but it has gotten better!"


"hi ladies! just want to say this pill WORKS! But you really have to take it asap! I took mine about 30 hours after having sex using withdrawal and I got my period right on time. Take some gravol and/or tylenol with it to avoid nausea/headache and remember that although the side effects of the pill are almost exactly the same as pregnancy, you wouldn't be feeling them until at LEAST 2 weeks after sex. DON'T STRESS and try to keep your mind off worrying because that'll delay your period and ESPECIALLY don't do research on google because that will just freak you out even more (trust me I freaked out so much I fainted). I would recommend having this pill in your medicine cabinet in case of an emergency so you have easy and quick access to it. xo"


"Have been on Afreeza for 2 months . It took a month for my numbers to be in target range, love it for the convenience"


"I recently starting taking Cymbalta for my chronic back (several herniated discs), Costocondritis (chest inflamation), and other related pains classified as Fibromyalgia and Chronic lower back pain.   The medication works.  It has nearly removed my chest pain and lower back pains by 90% and only a few lingering pains still exist and only in spurts. I've only been on the 60mg dosage for a few weeks, so it may get better. As a side effect, my PE is gone. I never told a doc about it and it has been killing me for a decade. I've tried everything else, none helped. I looked online with a search of Cymbalta and PE and there are sources to confirm it works. "


"Started on Trulicilty low dose last Thursday and 2 days in I got the chills and body aching esp my back and hands now I have developed a cough and the back of my neck hurts. I have to inject another dose tomorrow let's see how it is hope this isn't the reason why I'm sick cause usually I'm never sick and I got my flu shot. As I'm writing this review review but now I feel like crap. But blood sugar is good fasting today was 93"


"Have had this cough since middle of Dec. My cough is so bad it took a couple doses to see good results,  but if I didn't take these at bedtime I wouldn't sleep at all.  Have had to sit up to sleep.  Can now lay down and sleep all night."


"Oral Dissolving Tablets are the way to go.  It is quite discouraging vomiting up your nausea medicines."


"This medication is my magic bullet, my asthma has been under control for nearly five years after being introduced to prednisolone. It is fantastic. I only take it between 7-9 am as my Doctor informed me that it would affect the natural Cortisol production and possibly lead to problems sleeping.
Love it."


"So far, I am amazed at the quality of this product. She stopped itching almost immediately after use. No bugs, no live eggs found in hair. Hair is shiny and soft. I wasted a bunch of money before Sklice on stuff that had zero effect on her. The out of pocket cost with this NOT bogus coupon was only $40 as opposed to the original $300. I would definitely buy this again for head lice. Amazing stuff."


"Nexplanon made me gain over 30Ibs. I get ridiculous cravings, crazy mood swings, and all I ever want to do is sit and watch TV since getting it in. I've never had any other kind of birth control, besides the earlier version Implanon, which I thought was better, but still had its flaws, but the hubby and I are considering a vasectomy because my experience with this birth control.

Side effects: Major weight gain, cravings, it made me feel hungrier than I actually was, cramping, boob tenderness to where I thought I may have gotten pregnant, suicidal thoughts, and weird bleeding patterns.

I got it out about 3 weeks ago, and felt a boost in my mood the day after. Still haven't been able to drop any weight though."


"It works well, and very quickly! One or two tabs taken after a cup of coffee helps to avoid acid indigestion. Works for me; cheap, easy to use, safe. Nothing faster!"


"This is a miracle drug. Nothing would clear my acne for years and this cleared it right up in a few months. Can't recommend highly enough. People will try to scare you with crazy side effects but these are really really rare. I only got dry skin, dry nose, and dry lips."


"The first month on Strattera, I did not feel well. It made me tired and grumpy. Then, after it stopped being a nuisance, it started being nothing. No help, ZERO. Waste of time, money and liver. I quit cold turkey after my 6th month script ran out. Too expensive to continue paying a lot of money for ZERO. (I no longer had the same insurance that had a copay. I do not know how much it would have cost with my new insurance)."


"I've been on this medicine for 2 weeks now. The only thing I've noticed so far is that I did bloat a lot more than usual during my period. I also have little head aches almost everyday, but they only last for 10 minutes at most. I've managed to eat a pint of ice cream every single night and still loose weight. The only downfall of this medicine is it makes me very angry."


"I've taken this 2-3 times. The first few times mild cramping occurred but nothing major. The most recent occurance resulted in cramps immediately afterwards and bleeding, I mean heavy period type, 5 days after I took it, a mere 2 weeks after I had started my last cycle. The bleeding lasted about 4 days. I thought perhaps it had reset my cycle but nope, got my "normal" period a few days early and it has been the most painful and heaviest I've experienced in some time.

Obviously Plan B works, although I have no idea whether or not I was even at risk of being pregnant. Just know it will possibly upset your cycle."


"After a year or more on totally ineffective Humira I was put on Remicade.  It has been effective for the most part.  I am on the max dosage at every 4 weeks.   At about 4 to 5 days before my infusion I develop my typical crohns symtoms which mostly involves pain. I had one blood test which indicated I was metabolizing the medication more quickly than normal. I if this problem persists I will be tested again to see if I have developed antibodies to the drug.  Besides Humira being a total bust I react with high fever and chills to 6 MP.  Prior to the Humira I had a resection of a foot of my illeum.  I don't have any side effects to the Remicade just the issue I mentioned."


"I started this birth control 6 months ago. In that short span of time I've had THREE yeast infections. I've never had one before and I have no idea what could of caused it other than this birth control. Only other downside is my period cramps are extremely worse than they were before I started the pill. Before it was 3-4 days of regular bleeding, with cramps on the first day. Now it lasts 2 days, barely any bleeding but the most painful cramps I've ever experienced. Whenever those two days come around I have to stay home and normally take pills to sleep through it. That's how painful it is!  Other than that everything else was fine."


"I've been on topiramate for about 9 months and I've had really weird side-effects. I have the usual tingling, numbness, and weight-loss/loss of appetite that most everyone seems to have, but I've also gotten really bad heartburn. It gets to the point where it feels like I'm gonna throw up, and an episode might last anywhere from 2 hours to the whole day. It's not when I eat certain foods either. I also still get really horrible migraines, just not as often. I can't go on imitrex anymore because I have "complex" migraines, but sometimes no medicine helps. Does anyone else have these problems too?"


"I've taken oral contraceptives for a couple of years, almost 10 years ago. I decided to try again and was prescribed Orsythia. While it does its job - I'm not pregnant -  I'm constantly tired and sleepy, my sex drive is almost nonexistent now, my breasts often hurt, and the first day of my period is very painful. I can take Tylenol for the menstrual pain but other side effects are unacceptable."


"Just over 4 weeks ago I started taking Xenical that my doctor prescribed me. On the day of started I was 23 stone 13 lbs, I am now 22 stone 5lbs, so I have lost 21lbs in just over 4 weeks! I was sensible enough to read online reviews and decided to make sure I eat as less fat as possible. When I'm hungry at lunch I occasionally had a egg and bacon sandwich but cooked in no fat and using fry lite spray, cut the fat off the meat. I have a sensible normal dinner and breakfast sometimes toast with no butter with a banana inside or a couple slices ham. I have cut out all the junk. Side effects for the first few days slight tummy cramp and very occasionally a looser stool when going to the toilet, but no other side effects at all."


"The dosage I was given is 1 Pylera 4 times per day and I am still in treatment- only have some nausea but it goes away. Will see about effectiveness after I confirm that it took care of the problem, when treatment is completed. Hope this helps."


"At first, huge side effects - nausea, dry mouth, minor spasms, etc. As the instructions emphasize, hang in there. Took me three to four weeks and I feel much more positive and focused on life."


"Condom broke on us, so took Plan b  immediately and waited. We were freaking out for weeks then period. No pregnancy, it worked for us."


"One of the best-responding antidepressants I've ever taken. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking it because my resting heart rate went up to ≥ 100 bpm while on this medication (could've been interacting adversely with my Dexedrine). But wow, what a response I had! It started responding just a few weeks after increasing it to 75 mg, and it seemed to really bring me out of my cocoon at 100 mg-125 mg. That was the highest I ever got to try before realizing what was going on with my heart, and subsequently having to back down on the dosage. My positive response diminished, and I had gained a bunch of weight anyway, so we decided to switch meds."


"My son has been on Concerta for about 4 years now. He started when he was 6 yrs and will be 11yrs in 2 weeks. He was put on this medicine starting with 18mg. Over time he was gradually put on higher dose as his age and weight increased. He is now on 54mg. Since my son has been on this medicine he has developed seizures because Concerta lowers the seizure threshold. He was diagnosed last year 2010. He has paranoia, fearfulness, psychosis, headaches, nervousness, aggression, mood swings, trouble going to sleep, and doesn't want to eat a lot. He has had suicidal thoughts and depression."


"I had the Implanon inserted in May 2008. I was prompted by my doctor to choose this method of birth control. After 6 months of constant bleeding I contacted my doctor to ask if it was normal. He said that it was normal to have abnormal bleeding and that it would slowly even off and then stop all together. I gave it few more months and when it didn't stop I contacted him again. I got it removed in May 2009. I had not stopped bleeding once, I gained 25 pounds, I had severe depression and severe acne. I am still having these issues 2 years later and I want people to know. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a year and a half. "


"It's the only thing that ever helped but you build a tolerance but if you stop for a few days which is hard not impossible - it works just like it did before. I tried all the normal SSRIs, SNRIs and benzodiazepines nothing worked like this. It's the best yet."


"I found this page and everything clicked just two days too late. While my cough went away, the first night I woken up with severe cramping and the worst diarrhea of my life and was unable to hold food down for 12 hours. Then I took the medicine the next night and woke up to constant severe cramping to the point of skipping all my meals and popping pepto until the 12 hour mark when I was able to hold down a bagel. Thank god I searched this tonight because I was about to take it again!! It is not expired but rather a painful fast track to a cleanse. Never touching again."


"I took Cartia XT 120 mg once a day for thousands of PACs and PSVT. Cartia is mild, with few side effects, but good results.

I took (Teva brand) Diltiazem EX 120 mg and had problems. I found out when I took leftover Cartia's that the problem is the Teva brand doesn't work as well for me."


"I get Supartz injections in my osteoarthritis ankle at lease every 5 to 6 months. It is truly a miracle. I have 99.9% relief. I just wish the insurance would cover the injection. They wont cover it because they state the ankle is not a major joint!?"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I took my first dose at 6pm last night and 6:02 I was in the bathroom, first few times I poo'd it was still a little hard, but after about half a hour it just comes right through you, the medicine doesn't taste that bad, and by 10pm I was only going in occasionally, now it's 7:21am, I took my 2nd dose at 6am, and I'm wondering how anything can still be left in there tbh.... My procedure is at 9:30, but the diarrhea is tapering off, actually it's not even that, it's like your peeing out your butt....seems to be slowing down though, that way everything is flushed and clean for the doctor and I won't have to go back in for 5 more years hopefully, but at this time I'm still not venturing far from the bathroom"


"You wake up the next morning feeling very refreshed, and hardly wake up in the middle of the night,  once if any. good over the counter choice."


"I find this medication works pretty well for my anxiety. I seem to just forget about all the stuff that has been clustered up in my head. There is a extreme downside to this medication for me unfortunately as it makes me very sedated and drowsy. It's definitely a good thing to take if you wake up in the middle of the night and have panic attacks, but you could get 6 hours more of sleep and you will still be tired from the medication. I would say it doesn't completely get rid of my anxiety, but it helps out a lot in a sedative type way. Dont take this if you have a driving job because it feels like you could fall asleep anywhere."


"I was prescribed Lisinopril about 6 months ago, and develop a really bad cough about one month after taking the medicine. The cough got so bad I had to take breaks from the medication just to get relief. Finally my doctor recently took me off of it. She said the cough was a sign of an allergic reaction. I'm upset it took that long to get my doctor to understand that I was suffering with a cough/headache that seem to last 24/7. However, Lisinopril did lower my blood pressure."


"After suffering with slight anxiety and what I now look back and recognize as mild depression for years my anxiety "blew up" one year ago. It manifested itself in severe panic attacks about diseases, life, intrusive thoughts, and thinking that I was going crazy. It got worse for 8 months until I figured I was going to die or find a med that worked. I tried 2 prior to Lexapro and they were awful. I had no quality of life and honestly thought I'd be dead by now. Lexapro SAVED my life. It kicked in in about 5 weeks and I had some rough patches for a few more. At week 8 I was me again. At times I still have severe anxiety with intrusive thoughts but they are easy to push away. I have a life again!"


"Have been using Kapidex for 3 weeks now. It appears to be a lot better than previous ones. Thanks"


"I had Implanon inserted in March, 2008 about 6 weeks after my son's birth.
- periods are very infrequent (I skip 3-6 months at a time)
- periods last 4-6 WEEKS (as opposed to my normal 4-6 days)
- weight gain (I weigh as much today as the day I walked into the hospital to deliver my son!)
- mood swings (I'm nearly as emotional as during pregnancy)
- dizziness (I get light headed/dizzy quite often).

I loved the convenience, but the side effects have become too much for me.  I'm getting it removed this week."


"Hello everyone, I'm here to tell you about my experience with Nexplanon. First, let me just say it has done its job,because I haven't gotten pregnant since I've had it. In fact I think it's a great preventative method. But, if you notice, I've only had it for a year when it's suppose to last for 3 years. My biggest problem was the bleeding patterns. I bled for almost 6 months straight. In those 6 months where I was bleeding, I experienced the mood swings, weight gain, and depression. I'm 21 now, and I was at a normal weight bouncing from 120 to 130 ,but never anymore or less. I also excerised routinely and ate a decent diet. Sadly in the last year I haven't been able to maintain my weight with my end weight being 171! I wouldn't recommend."


"Have been on Uloric for 4 months.  Getting flare ups in knee (which Doc says will go away in another month or so).  Colcrys has terrible side effects but gets the job done on the pain immediately.  Is a trade off I have to make for a while."


"I've been on this pill for years and I'm finally starting to question whether my mood swings and irritability are caused by the pill or just my personality. As others have said.. It causes heavy discharge in between periods and I still get severe cramps. I'm going to stop taking it to see if my mood improves"


"Excellent"


"I had the Implanon for three years. Never really noticed anything crazy except for the first and final month of having it. I had the usual nausea and dizziness. Exactly what the doctor told me to expect.Any medicine you take will have side effects & sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles. I got a new one put it that same day I got the old one removed .I am now approaching year 2 of this one & I am having it removed tomorrow morning. For the last year I have had on & off nausea, headaches, moody, anxious. I am praying that once this things gets taken out I will be me again. My demeanor has been crappy the last year. Headaches & nausea prevent you from living your life to the fullest. Absolutely do not recommend Nexplanon."


"I was prescribed 0.25mg of Xanax for my hyper-anxiety and panic attacks.  As a 200lb man I needed a 0.5mg dose.  Xanax really solves panic attacks well, and noticeably helps with my anxiety.  It makes it much easier to fall asleep which is great at bedtime, but can be a real problem in the morning.  Reading "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns also really helped treat the thoughts that led to panic and anxiety."


"I started Depo as an alternative to the pill due to the fact that I kept forgetting to take it. At first, it was a miracle. My period immediately stopped. I did gain a bit of weight, but it wasn't anything that I thought about too much. But after my third round of the shot is when problems started to occur. I became incredibly unstable. My moods were unbearable to the point where it almost cost me a relationship. I was constantly depressed, no sex drive, and the scale kept climbing even after efforts to eat healthier and exercise. I decided to go off of it and everything just stopped. I feel normal again. My weight dropped. "


"Controls the anxiety but side  effect causes erectile dysfunction."


"Lexapro has changed my life. I am now able to participate in so many activities that my anxiety wouldn't allow me to do prior. There is side effects. I don't sleep great and have crazy dreams. Dry mouth, skin and eyes is noticeably worse. Sexual feelings came back after a few months. Plus have more gas and stomach upset. But even with the side effects, my life has greatly improved."


"I was taken off of Yaz and put onto this because it was causing me migraines with aura.  I have been on it for a couple years now I'd say.  I never really noticed it until my boyfriend mentioned to me how I never am "in the mood" anymore.  We used to have a very steady sex life together and now maybe 1 time a month.  I went to the doctor a while ago and she ran blood tests on me and they came back that my iron is severely low.  I've never had that before until I started taking this pill.  I also seem to get angry very and upset easily. I'm not saying that's the pills fault but I was never like that before I started taking it.  I started getting regular headaches again, so my Doctor switched me to a different brand that I have yet to try."


"I love my Nexplanon. During the first 6 months, I spotted to light bled everyday. It was annoying, but worth it because after about the 6 month mark, I stopped bleeding! Now I only spot for about 3 days about every 3 or 4 months. I love it! I don't have to worry about taking a pill at all. Some people have it better than others, but in my experience it's caused me to gain about 4 pounds in my stomach and thigh areas."


"I just had Liletta inserted yesterday afternoon so I can't really say too much on the effectiveness or any side effects just yet. However, I can tell you that the insertion process was a little intense but nothing that I couldn't handle. Just remember to take some pain killers/anti inflammatory before and after, breathe & relax and the process will go much smoother. I love my gyn, he did an amazing job on making me as comfortable and informed as possible. He even made me laugh during the process which helped to ease the temporary pain of insertion. This was my first IUD as a form of birth control, aside from a slightly uncomfortable insertion process I would recommend this. Since yesterday, I've only experienced mild cramping/light spotting"


"This medicine works very well at reducing my asthma symptoms. However, it causes me to have tremors."


"Have had collagenous colitis for a couple of years. I was in agony a week ago with a flare up but this saved me.  I'm supposed to be on it for Six weeks - then off. Scared about that. This is NOT a cure- it's a bandaid - am on a special diet now and crossing my fingers."


"I've been on Topamax for about 5 months now (100 am/100 pm) and finally giving up faith. The negative side effects outweigh the slight change in my migraines. Carbonated beverages taste terrible, I have to force myself to eat, I stutter constantly, I can never find the right words and often switch up words in a sentence. My memory is horrid, and I always see tracers, which is enough to drive anyone crazy. The only pluses are the slight decrease in consistency of my migraines and the weight loss."


"I got hydroxzine prescribed by request after experiencing what feels like a never ending benzodiazapine withdrawal, when 6 months off the benzos passed and I was loosing my mind I decided to research safer non addicting central nervous system depressants out of desperation. It was hit and miss at first with the insomnia it seems to work better after a few days of continuous use and calms some other symptoms down as well, if you get this prescribed and it doesn't work at first give it a few tries.  It works even better the farther out you get from your discontinuation date from the benzos, some days this meds dopes me up like a drunk and I don't care for that feeling but its a much better place to be then a have a wide open nervous system"


"I have had seizures for 40 years. I started on Dilantin and phenobarbital. I had breakthroughs with petit mal seizures, but my grand mals were controlled. When I became pregnant they stopped the phenobarbitol and started me on tegretol.  I had more seizures, petit mal and partial complex. Finally a new doctor started me on phenobarbital again with the Dilantin and Tegretol and I rarely have any seizures. When I do they are only petit mal and last only a minute or so."


"No medication has gotten rid of all of my symptoms but Zyprexa Zydis is one of the best I've tried (and I have tried them all literally). I noticed the munchies on regular Zyprexa tabs but none on Zyprexa Zydis....I have actually lost weight. I gave it a rating of 8 because I still have symptoms of schizoaffective disorder but high enough rating to give it kudos compared to other drugs."


"I have taken 25mg for anxiety for 8 years. I went off when pregnant but anxiety returned upon delivery.  I can not say enough how much this drug has helped me. I don't do the whole "I want to feel good on my own" thing anymore. I accept that I will always have anxiety but with Zoloft I live a normal life now. If I have a health scare and it comes on a bit I can still cope so much better now. I am so thankful for Zoloft."


"Victoza is all the things everone says. Burping, Nausea, Sleepiness No food cravings oh yeah and you lose your appetite and tons of weight and so much more. That was my goal... I am down 20 lbs in 4 weeks. I will suck it up so I can for once take something that will actually help me lose this awful weight and rid me of this Diabetes nightmare. One thing I can say is, it is not for whimps."


"I have had knee surgery and a fairly severe tailbone injury.  I also ride and train horses so I have lots of accidents/injuries on a regular basis.  Percocet really does help for pain, however, like some said, it also alters your mood."


"I'm on day one, really excited to get on week 12 and leave all this in the past, thank you all for your comments, God bless :)"


"I had tried Loestrin for about 6 months and didn't really like it! I gave it a 5 because it was an effective method of birth control which was the main reason I tried it but the one thing I didn't like was everytime I missed a pill I started my period. But the thing I hated the most was it would make me dry out during sex, SO EMBARRASING. Never again! I've been off it for about 4 months and its still happening wouldn't dare recommend it."


"Best drug I have been on so far.

Has no side effects that I have found.

Doesn't make you feel sick or dizzy like other drugs have done for me."


"I started taking 8 days ago and have not wanted to drink.  I have thought about it a couple times but I didn't.   I drank every night for 34 yrs before that"


"My 6 yr old son was diagnosed with bipolar disorder I thought it was ADHD but they started him on zyprexa and we've seen a lot of improvement in his behavior.would highly recommend, Virtually no side effects. He eats a little more but most 6 yr old hyperactive boys could stand to eat a little more."


"Very effective!  I used over the counter (allergy) eye drops for years.  Elestat took care of the condition with 2 applications!"


"Had no negative side effects. Got rid of my UTI fast."


"I been suffering with Cluster Headaches for over 10 years. I just used the injected form of Sumatripan. The pain was completely gone in 7 mins. Amazing!"


"I have tried many treatments for my eczema and this, and its generic form, have been the best. I get dry skin, redness, and cracking between my fingers, at the wrist and sometimes on the lower arm. One treatment at night and by morning the redness is gone, irritation gone, and after the 2nd day of treatment, no signs or symptoms of the eczema."


"Started Benicar HCT 20/12.5 Sunday morning, Monday evening Blood Pressure was up, took second tablet that evening. Then took 1 morning and 1 evening. Friday morning woke up and walked downstairs with no aches or pains (morning walk has been painful for last 20 years). I hope this trend continues. Peeing every 90 mins, otherwise no side effects."


"Although the drug's effects reduces symptoms rapidly (I felt better after the first day on it), I had extreme possible side-effects (especially vomiting, long after the illness had passed) which seemed disproportionate to the benefits of taking the drug.

This includes vomiting days after being on the drug."


"I'm about to start on the placebo pills and I'm intensely considering not starting the new pack. When I first started this birth control I had mild nausea and light cramping. Since then I've gained 10 pounds, I'm tired, nauseous, and bloated all the time. For me it's been all the fun pregnancy symptoms without actually conceiving (Doctor confirms my ego is not preggo) so I'm seriously debating on stopping it. My lifestyle three months ago is no different than my lifestyle now with the exception of this stinky little pill, and I can say that I am definitely unhappier now."


"Took for 4 days felt run down. A lot of anxiety and pin point eyes. Had to lay down because of body aches, but couldn't sleep. Drank a lot of water and got charlie horses in feet & toes. "


"Been taking Harvoni near 8 weeks. Stage 4 liver cirrhosis. Was really very sick and many doctors just didn't know why. I had tested for Hep C two times in last 10 years and was negative. Dr says no way would do that much damage to my liver unless had like 10 years.
Hard to say if side effects from Harvoni or liver damage side effects as similar. But tired and occasional nausea and headaches.BUT. This week had blood done myself and AST/ALT down from high 100's to 35/45 which is normal range. Had been as high as 487 just 2o months aga. So it feels like a miracle to me. But many people have stated they got cancer from the drug so we have to see. My quality of life was dismal and so the risk is equal to my feelin. See Dr again in 2 weeks."


"Unfortunately, I have not had a good experience with Bentyl. I've had severely blurred vision after just 3 days of taking 10mg 3 x's per day along with extreme bloating. I have been extremely uncomfortable and stopped taking the medicine. Hopefully there is something else available to help my symptoms."


"I was told by my psychiatrist to try lexapro 10 mg for my anxiety. I have tried other medications in the past to help with it like Wellbutrin and Zoloft. They didn't help at all  I got side effects right away like  nausa,headaches and dizziness. So I was hoping that lexapro would help where the others didnt. I kept a positive attitude in hopes that it would make me have less anxiety. I took my first pill and 2 hrs later I felt so nauseous that I had trouble standing up without wanting to vomit. Then I starting feeling like my scalp was on fire. Also parts of my skin felt like it had a burning sensation. It didn't go away for the rest of the day. The next day I tried again and the same thing happened I wondered if with EDS if I can't take it"


"I have had cervical fusion in the past and when I am extremely stressed or do too much manual labor I sometimes get severe muscle spasms. I was given samples of Amrix and took it in the evening and slept like a baby. The next day at work I didn't have any drowsiness, but also did not have spasms or pain until it was time to take again. I took it only for 5 days and it was enough to calm the muscles down."


"Best ever for stopping itch of eczema.  Got to get used to the sleepiness, but gets better after long term use."


"I started Saxenda in February 2016 and in 4 weeks lost 7 pounds.  I had quite a bit of nausea so I ate very little which may account for some of the weight loss but after 6 weeks or so the nausea subsided.  I continued to lose weight until month 5 which is when I plateaued after having lost 27 pounds.  It's now September and I haven't lost any more weight even though I've added exercise (4-5 times per weeks) but I continue to use Saxenda and I am hoping to breakthrough the plateau soon.  My physician did say that the drug is only effective for weight loss for 6 - 8 months; after that it only helps to maintain your weight."


"Was juggling a family, 30hr p/t job & unive full time, whilst dealing with immediate relatives that were either ill or dying. Needless to say I hit rock bottom, was underweight & felt like I was walking the 'Green Mile'!! I can only describe the feeling as if my body was running on 'flight' mode. Clearly the extra adrenaline was needed as I was being pulled from pillar to post with deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. It got too much. No appetite, constant weight of despair on my chest, insomnia and endless worry.
After a week of taking Mirt, the anxieties disappeared as did the despair. Felt normal but not in a drugged up way. Was able to sleep/wake well and focus."


"I am 29 years old and have had narcolepsy since I was 7. I started Xyrem after three doctors recommended it. 9g/night in 2 doses, & finally get the deep sleep I never had. I dream, but not the endless series of exhausting dreams that feel like memories, Nor dreams during the day! Some mornings I wake up feeling fantastic and motivated, some mornings I think, ‘just one more hour!’ and need a cup of coffee or tea to get started. I think that is what normal feels like. Hardest part is not eating 4-5 hrs before, bc I like to go to bed around 8:45/9:30pm. Basically I have my life back and wish I’d gone on Xyrem years ago instead of being afraid of side effects that haven’t even happened on max dose. Thank you, Xyrem, for giving me my life back!"


"I've been on this birth control for about 3 years and it has been great. It does the job. I thought iId write this review because I didn't see many write ups about the generic version (MyLan) and I have been on both the brand name (Generess) for about 2 years or so and then switched to the generic for price purposes and have been on that for at least a year. I started Generess when I was in highschool because I had really uncomfortable heavy 7 day periods and was also in a long term relationship. I am now in college and when I switched to the generic version I had no change in side effects or periods. I very rarely get a period (5'4, 115 pounds) and had no weight gain that I can attribute to the pill. My skin is clear and never got pregnant"


"I was prescribed  this drug after I got a pilonidal cyst drained. It worked great to keep any pain from occurring.  I found that it made me sleep a lot better if I was laying down and relaxing or already in bed, but it did not make me drowsy during the day or during activities."


"I've been taking the mini pill for three months now!
My first period lasted three days with the first day heavy and the rest with spotting. I chose this mini pill for a few reasons. I have 4 day periods with heavy flow and horrible back pain. I love to snowboard so that wasn't going to be okay to be dealing with. As well, my family has a history of mental health to which I don't like to play with the chemistry in my body.
So far I've been on it for three months with one period! Of course I'm loving this mini pill but when is my period going to hit?! I haven't gained any weight and my breasts are not tender."


"I am only on my sixth day of the titration sample pack and really haven't noticed any improvements.  My doctor just took me off Cymbalta cold turkey that same day that I started taking Savella.  So, I would assume all the "terrible" feelings I've been feeling are due to withdrawals from the Cymbalta.  My pain has actually been worse right now to the point of not feeling like even moving.  I still feel tired but not to the point of either risking just falling over from exhaustion or laying down for a nap right then, since I've started the Savella.  I'm sleeping okay at night.  One difference I have noticed is a feeling like I want to sneeze and my nose has been running like crazy but, could be due to allergy season. I'll keep trying it."


"I have been taking Beyaz for 1.5 years. I haven't really gained weight on it. I just have a harder time losing weight but that's nothing that working out and eating right didn't fix. Anyway, I started taking Beyaz for birth control purposes and for acne. It definitely has helped with both. I got off of it for a couple months and as soon as I did my acne came right back. Needless to say I got right back on  it. I don't have nausea or anything, I take it at night instead of in the morning. Only side effects I have are dehydration, and sometimes I'm more hungry than I should be. I just try to eat healthy snacks and drink more water. I am more tired on the pill than off but I just try to drink tea or something when I feel too tired and get sleep!"


"I've been on sertraline for two weeks now after being recently widowed, stressing about the loss,  stressing about money....i cared for my husband for 16yrs full time ss he couldn't move from neck down.  Probably should have sought help before as the stress is big time....anyway,  now he's died, its all come out and I'm a jittery, jumpy emotional mess.  But I need to find work without breaking down at an interview.
Yes its helped, I'm not jumpy now, I can keep my emotions for when I'm alone and I'm more in control. Only thing is , occasional horrific headaches?"


"I was on this birth control for at least 6 months and my acne has gotten worse. It's now evolved to big cystic pimples before and after my period and they stick around for at least two weeks at a time. Majority on my chin but I have had a couple on my forehead inbetween my eyebrows which I still have the scar. It's gotten to the point where I still have pimples from the previous break out and new ones formed right next to them. Also this medication has made my cramps worse. I have switched from the brand."


"I first went on this medication in March of 2013 and almost a year later, I've had to adjust it 3 times, going up to 4 finally. When I first started, I was sent into a manic like state for several hours, but after about a week, I started to sleep more than I ever did. I usually only got about 3 hours of sleep each and every night, starting from when I was 12 and up until I started Risperidone, which is when I was 18. It has helped with every single thing that was wrong with me, the delusions, hallucinations, dissociation, and homicidal feelings. I would definitely suggest trying this if you haven't yet. It worked wonders with me."


"This a very small quantity prep. I just reduced solid intake 48 hours. I had breakfast - mostly protein and started prep 5pm that day. Much easier to take using straw - I drank seven 8oz drinks over 3-4 hours - everytime I went to bathroom, I drank 8oz. I did not notice severe cramps etc. Second prep was harder and I only took four 8oz drinks. My last visit to bathroom was clear. Happy with this product..."


"I could tell this patch wasn't for me after a two months of being on it... I had every side effect you could think of.. mood swings, depression, nausea, vomiting, stomach aches, chest pain, shortness of breath, headaches, tingling in my feet and hands, aching in my arms and legs... it got to the point where I was so concerned I had to go to the emergency room to make sure I didn't have any blood clots and that I wasn't in danger of having a stroke or heart attack. Turns out I was okay but they took me off the patch immediately. I'm only 22 but I smoke so I guess that could be why I had such a bad reaction to it. I'm disappointed it didn't work for me because the convenience of not having to take a pill every day was nice. Oh well."


"The only side effects I have experienced are bloating and tender breast. I think my breast are growing and I think it is a downside because I don't want them too. I didn't notice any weight loss or gain. I had spotting which is normal but it is annoying I just suggest using pantyliners"


"Last June I participated in a road clean up and after a 1/2 mile I could no longer walk. Went to an orthopedist who took an xray. I got the impression that he just figured I was an overweight old lady who needed to complain. I heard his surprise when he saw I had bone on bone. He recommended 3 injections. The 1st one wasn't bad. The 2nd hurt a bit and after the last one I couldn't even get off the table it was so painful.  Relief has lasted a year and now I have an appointment to see a new doctor for another round. So, yes, as someone mentioned the doctor you use makes a difference!"


"I have been on Trulicity (.75) for about 6 weeks.  Has lowered blood sugar about  25 points.  Will get A1C in two weeks.  The first shot left me with nausea and upset stomach.  That has passed and now I have no stomach problems.  I take shot at night and am fine by next morning.  It has left me with joint pain in my hands.  This pain started the first week and I still have some joint pain.  I keep hoping it will go away.  I will see what happens in the next few weeks.  I noticed in reviews that other people also had joint pain.  Do any of these people have information on how long the pain lasts??  In talking with drug company and pharmacist, no one has any information on this issue.  I have lost about 10 pounds."


"It's quick acting but painful and it made me bruise and bleed a bit. It makes me feel nauseated and I vomited once, a few minutes after use. It also made me feel sleepy like my other migraine pills. This just acts quicker and makes you drowsy fast. "


"Went into ER with gastroenteritis symptoms. Was given two injections of Zofran and a script for pills at home. Works so well and allows me to sleep really well. A very comfortable and calm feeling into a nice deep sleep. Works well for the nausea. "


"First month I didn’t get my period second month there has been NON STOP bleeding. I can't stand it and on top of that the headache are almost unbearable. I am constantly tired and don't have any energy! Looking to get it removed soon.!"


"This drug came after a bad reaction to Metformin.  It is definitely not any better.  From day one I have had diarrhea.  And the heaviness in my arms is still present.  Now the leg spasms are showing up but it is the abdominal pain and the excruciating back pain that take this drug out of the running.  I am coming off of it.  I can't afford for this drug to kill me.  Nausea has been a problem within 3 days of beginning it. Be wary. . .be alert."


"I was prescribed Vistaril for bad panic attacks, as needed. I was put on Celexa, and less than an hour after taking it, I felt extreme fear and had the worst panic attack I've ever experienced. I called my doctor immediately and was told to go ahead and take the Vistaril. It calmed me down in less than 15 minutes. It did however, make me so drowsy that I found it impossible to stay awake. Thank goodness I have it on hand for my next attempt with Wellbutrin."


"Hi, I'm a 48 yr old woman who has struggled with a lower thyroid and metabolism.  I started at 199lbs and weigh 179lbs now (started 12/7 and last weighed in on 3/14).  I consider 20 lbs a success, especially considering there was a vacation and two holidays involved.  I had some side effects, mostly dry mouth and a mild headache.  My biggest issue was not having any appetite - I don't think it's healthy to not eat enough food, so I had to remind myself to eat.  I track my food intake on myfitnesspal which helps me eat enough calories during the day.  The cost is getting expensive, but I still have 40 lbs to lose, so I think I will stay on it for a few more months. I go back to the doctor after one more month for  re-check and we will see what he says."


"This has worked the best for me thus far.  I have been on several SEVERAL anti-depressants and by far this has been better with very little side effects.  Nausea has been the only downside at this point.  I missed two days due to my pharmacy being closed and didn't have the "brain zaps" after missing.  Big plus in my book."


"I am on Carbatrol and Keppra and added 400mg of Vimpat about 1 year ago.  I do not beleive that my complex partial seizures improved over this time period. As side effects go its not a bad medicine at all, but I do not like the fact that I can't remember simple words in the English language and putting together sentences is a little more tricky."


"I was suffering from an impingement of a nerve root exiting the left side of the T10 - T11 junction.  I was prescribed Zipsor in combination with Skelaxin (muscle relaxant).  The combination provided no discernible pain relief.  However, I did suffer from significant stomach and intestinal pain.  The stomach & intestinal pain stopped within 12 hours of discontinuing the Zipsor.  Overall, not a pleasant experience."


"I've been taking this for probably 3 months now. I feel like a completely different person. I went from not being able to get out of bed or do anything at all because I didn't have any energy to being able to do whatever I wanted/needed to do. I also struggle with anxiety and it has not helped me at all in that aspect. I've tried several medications for anxiety and nothing has helped the least bit yet. Otherwise, I feel great!"


"I have had stomach problems since I was  a child, and so far no doctor has been able to figure out what the problem is.  The only relief I have gotten is from Phenergan (promathezine). I call it my "miracle drug".  Even when already vomiting, and nauseated, if I take 25mg, in only about 15-20 minutes I am relaxed and  vomiting/nausea is gone. It does knock you out for a good bit though, but if you have been up sick for awhile, this will be a much needed rest.  Promethazine, you are my hero and I love you.  "


"I love the NuvaRing. NO side effects. Easy - I just forget about it! I leave it in for 3 weeks, take it out for a week and my menstrual cycle comes for about 4 days then stops. It's fool proof! I can't even feel it. I was on the pill and had bad side effects - swollen, tender breasts and moody. NuvaRing's a miracle!"


"When I moved to a place with a really hot climate,I started having horrible acne.I never had any issues with my skin before and i was devastated, I was 28 and having skin problems .I tried every facial wash,creams and scrubs. Nothing worked. Finally decided to see a derma after 2 yrs of fighting acne. He prescribed clindamycin and Differin. First weeks of using,my skin dried so badly. It was sore and sensitive esp around the eye area. Gradually though, my face cleared. It also helped slowly lighten the dark spots from healed acne.I didn't have any of those initial breakouts but the change was really very gradual. It does work. Just be patient. I'm now happy with my skin. Tip:after washing,MOISTURIZE! Then apply differin. Goodluck :-)"


"Moochie used to take Melleril, was always calm and hardly over ate. After being taken off that medication he now is prescribed Zyprexa. Zyprexa cost about 400 dollars for 30 pills and causes weight difference of 80lb gain over a three year period. Taking the Melleril never had signs of anxiety or stress. Slept comfortably and always went to bed on time at night. Since we no longer take the Melleril life has changed considerably. We now experience wandering at night, constant overeating to a weight gain already and he now being considered as obese. I recommend the Melleril as a excellent medicine as long as the side effects are not endangering the patient. The best medicine I've used to provide comfort."


"I switched from Effexor when Pristiq became available at the suggestion of my psychiatrist. Effexor was an improvement on my previous medication but I still suffered some anxiety and I experienced increased sweating. Pristiq seems to have reduced my anxiety levels and the sweating may have eased slightly and also, my mood improved. More recently I have also been prescribed dextroamphetamine (for ADHD), which improved my mood further, enabling me to halve my daily dose of Pristiq to 100 mg. I did this with the aim of reducing my sweating coming into summer (I am a resident of Sydney, Australia where the summers are typically hot and humid)."


"I experienced relief from the itching within a couple of hours, so I know it worked. However, it has made my skin irritated and inflamed. The exterior cream gave me a terrible burning and tingling sensation that lasted for days, even after repeated efforts to wash it off. Next time I will just go to the doctor and try to get a prescription because this isn't worth it."


"I have been using Stadol Nasal Spray for at least 15 years.  It is the best migraine medication for me that is out there.  However, my doctor has recently stopped prescribing it for me because the State Drug Board or whatever they are called started giving him a hard time for prescribing it for me.  I suffer migraines at least two times (if not more) a week and am really suffering without it.  Nothing else works.  The only bad side effect is some stomach discomfort at first, but it goes away as your body gets use to it.  My Doctor knows I need it but his hands have been tied.  "


"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."


"Took about a month to work and has helped immensely."


"Been taking this for 5 years now an I love how I fall asleep now price is pretty expensive 30 pills cost me about 300$ but I do have insurance which I get it now for 32$ , the brand name lunesta is different story 30 pills was 500 so I just paid what I can"


"Completely helps with panic disorder, PTSD, and GAD. I have all three and Xanax provides immediate results to help calm me down. This is the only medication that works for my condition and recommend this to those who need help fast."


"I've been using it for 3 days now, only at night. I have combination skin normally and this gel doesn't dry out my skin like other topical creams. My face is clearing up very nicely. By the way I have cystic acne and there is no burning or stinging like other reviewers have experienced. Everyone's skin is different but I would highly recommend trying Acanya."


"I had years of good pain control from oxycontin and was able to lead a fairly normal life. I have always taken it exactly as prescribed by my doctor. Now I am going to have to find some other way to combat my pain because of extreme stomach problems and general illness from the remade version. I have never had these problems in the past. I don't know what I am going to do for pain now."


"I was put on Trokendi Xr after being taken off of Topiramate post brain surgery in April of 2014. I was on Trokenid XR for a total of eight months and just got off the medication this week. I had a lot of the severe side effects. After the first 3 weeks of being on this medicine it caused a drastic change in my mood, depression, thoughts of suicide, dramatic increase in memory loss, tingling in the hands, legs and feet, could never get enough sleep, and was very aggressive and irritable. I did not have a seizure while on Trokendi XR, but the side effects I was having with this medication was not worth it for me. However it could work great for someone else, and you might not have any of them!"


"This is my first YI I am 21 and my sister recommend this product. I can't sit. I can't sleep. It is 12:02 and I'm exhausted. I have to wake up in 6 hours for work and I can't sleep through this HORRIBLE PAIN !!! Never again !"


"I had versed and propofol for a colonoscopy and it was wonderful.  I went out like a light and then almost instantly woke up afterwards.  I was not even sleepy the rest of the day and could have driven home (although it would not have been advisable). There was no pain upon injection and no soreness at the injection site.  Propofol was used as I throw up if I take any kind of narcotics or synthetic narcotics."


"Works well, but the taste is horrible. I'm taking them twice a day for a week. For the first couple of days, I had diarrhea very bad and after taking the medication, I ended up with a yeast infection. So, I had to treat that as well with a 7 day cream."


"I've had it for about 3 years now & it just keeps getting worse.. I have all the symptoms of having an ovarian cyst in both sides, but have gotten x-rays & "nothing is wrong." Major, unbearable cramping... To the point where I'm crying... It works very effectively but at a cost. My period has never been 10 days long. Sometimes I get 2 periods a month within 12 days of each other. I get pms 1-2 weeks before my actual period & constantly discharge. I'm highly considering getting it removed."


"I have tried many different kinds of antidepressants but I must say that Wellbutrin XL300mg has been the best. I have been on it  for  3 years. I am so much happier and just feel better in general. The only side effect I have had while taking it is dry mouth. I was always a calm, attentive student even before I had the medicine. But since I have been taking it so long, if I happen to miss one or more days of taking it, I act as if I have ADHD. I am unable to focus and talk like a Chatty Cathy. If you have ever seen a little seven year old with really bad ADHD.That's me. I will skip in place, bounce up and down, and what not. I have NEVER had ADHD or ADD (I am super calm), but if I don't take it I act like it. That's my one and only problem."


"This medicine is a miracle for me.  I used to be on Zyprexa, I am also on Abilify, Trileptal, Klonopin.  On Saphris I was able to diet and exercise and lost about 28 pounds.  Occasionally I have difficulty sleeping, but this medicine is the best I have come across.  Along time ago I used to be on Lithium.  I have also responded well to Navane.  I almost was in the hospital until I tried the Klonopin.  Anyone trying this medicine, in my opinion should be careful because it is so new.  I have read the product insert and reactions with other medicines is not well studied.  Currently I am dieting and exercising, socializing, and just about normal.  I do have periods where my mood swings are preset along with a little paranoia."


Chlorpheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine

"I am 51 years old and grew up taking Creomulsion Cough Syrup for coughs and colds.  I always gave my two sons Creomulsion Cough Syrup for their coughs.  I tried other new medicines but nothing soothes a cough like Creomulsion.  Recently, my autistic son had a cold and a cough.  I went to CVS and to Rite Aid and neither one of them carries Creomulsion. When I find out who does sell Creomulsion, I will buy a couple of bottles to keep on hand.  I'm thinking of contacting CVS and Rite Aid and suggesting that they carry it."


"Used opioids for years went on methadone and movantix and worked within hours after not going for a week at a time almost regularly.  Now go everyday and have lost 10 pounds to boot!  So happy this drug exists . I had no pain at first a little intestinal cramping moving out of my system,  after a few days regular no cramping at all,   miracle fix for constipation for people who have to regularly take pain meds!"


"This pill has been awful for me.  My doctor prescribed it after my laproscopy and a period of induced menopause due to endometriosis. It has caused major moodiness and I either get my period when it is not supposed to come or don't get it at all.  Slight weight gain.  My breasts hurt all the time, more than ever!  I asked my doctor to switch me to something else.  He put me on Notrel 777- and that is great!  Hope everybody can find something that works well for their body."


"I've had my implant since March '16. Ever since I've had it, I've experienced severe headaches that happen at least once every week. I haven't had my period since I've been on it which worries me because I don't know whether that's bad or good. I have gained weight. I use to always stay around 130-140 for about 4 years and now I'm at 170. Other than that, I have no cramps so this thing is an ok for me."


"I have been on Lo Loestrin FE for about 8 months.  I was placed on Lo Loestrin due to excessive bleeding as a side effect to another medication.  My cycles  over the last 8 months have been on one month and off the next month, however this month it all changed.  The week my cycle should have come on, it failed to do so and this would have been my on again month.  There is absolutely no chance that I am pregnant.  I started my new pill pack and my cycle decided to come on the same day.  I am now into my second week of blue pills and my cycle is still on.I can't take my other medication during this time because it causes excessive bleeding and clots. Don't know what to do next."


"This birth control has increased acne, and appetite causing me to retain water. My breasts are also sore, and I find that I become nauseous no matter if I take it with food or not."


"I wish I had not used this on my skin my skin is now damaged, thin and terribly wrinkled. I have taken care of my skin and now my arms look like I am 80."


"I've tried everything for my cluster headaches per my doctor with little success but this medication in combination with topamax seems to be *magic*!!!  I feel like a new person!  When I first went to my neurologist I was deeply depressed because a day didn't go by that I wasn't suffering from a headache and I would cry at night wishing that in the morning I wake up headache free. And for the first time in my life I am. I pray this doesn't change!!"


"43 yr old male.For me this is close to a miracle cure, it has given my life back. I have had stomach and esophagus lesions due to way too much aspirin/ ibuprofen/digesics/codeine trying to halt an attack. No more screaming in E.R rooms waiting for pethidine/morphine. No more thoughts off grabbing a drill to stop the throbbing pain. I actually have a life after 26 yrs of suffering 2-4 attacks a week each last up to 36 hrs each. Numerous preventive medicines didn%u2019t work. I am truly in debt to the manufacturers and the on call doctor who gave me to Maxalt. Takes about 40-90 minutes to work with a second dosage sometimes needed. My fear is the more i take it the less effective it will become as lately I need the second wafer."


"Hi ladies!  So let me just preface by saying take a deep breath.  That was exactly what I needed to do when I visited this page almost 3 months ago, frantically searching for testimonials and reassurance this product would keep me from becoming a mom before I was ready. In my scenario, I was at a party, drank too much and was sexually taken advantage of by some unfortunate human being. Because I was so out of it, I couldn't remember if he used a condom/wore it the whole time, so I researched and found out about Plan B. I bought and took it 40 hours later, and after 3 days, I began having major cramps, got my period (2 weeks early), and was/am not pregnant. Relax and try to stay stress free; the chances of it working are in your favor!"


"I have bipolar I disorder with psychotic and depressive features and a diagnosis of ADHD. I take meds for all three conditions. I take Vyvanse 50mg in the AM. When that wares off, I take Evekeo 10 mg twice every 4-5 hours, PM. I also take my stimulants with Ativan as I also have anxiety too. Evekeo is perfect for me. It doesn't make me feel hyper nor does it give me that 'high' feeling. It normalizes me and I can actually be driven and calm at the same time. Since I take two stimulants, you're probably wondering how in the world. All I can say is that Vyvanse doesn't last all day long for me, so I supplement with Evekeo. I take Evekeo once Vyvanse wares out. I'm happy with them both."


"Got the nexplanon 2 days after I had my daughter. Everything was cool I bled my whole 6 weeks then my period completely stopped until the first week of Feb I spotted for a few days(3).  Started gaining weight after and no matter how much I work out I cant lose the weight!! Lately ive started gettings headaches for 4-5days straight no matter what I take I continue to have a headache and increased appetite.  Really considering getting it took out.  The no period or pregnancy is the only great thing!"


"Day One. Since I had my son, via c-section, 4 years ago, I have been addicted to pain pills. What started out as something to take away my pain, turned into a full blown addiction. At my worst I was taking about 60mg/day worth of pain pills, and today I started Suboxone. Since it is my first day, I can't say it has changed my life, but for right now, I can say I do feel better. It did take away the cravings and withdrawal symptoms, but I think it is too soon to say how long this will last. I hope this will help  to rid myself of this nasty opiate addiction."


"Orinase (Entod Pharma): This helps clear my congestions. Personally, Otrivin is not helpful to me."


"1 started taking 75mg a few days ago also I smoke weed as well for chronic back pain and previous anxiety...  I haven't noticed to many negative side affects but my sex drive isn't as high but it all still works, I have noticed little positives here and there but it takes some of that dwelling it allows me to produce clear and concise arguments"


"I have not experienced the side effects like others.  It simply does absolutely nothing for my allergy symptoms."


"This med delivered exactly what it was made to do. I found it very effective and extremely easy on my body with no side effects whatsoever.
I highly recommend it for anyone who has been on opioids for as long as I have, which is a very long time."


"I am on galapentin (neurontin)for a year now.I take 900 mg 3 times a day.It's been very effective with nerve issues.I have a new knee and 18 pins in my leg and 15 surgeries under my belt.The dreams are vivid as I've read others experienced. I also am on 60 mg of oxycontin 2 times a day and take xanax 4 times a day as needed.  My doctor previously didn't prescribe the gabapentin and I've noticed a big difference in nerve pain relief.It does take few days to get full effect of medicine but does work. In my case I may not ever be able to walk but since this medicine I feel I can really give it 110% because it is effective. Just beware not to drive on meds till u get thru side effects. Give it a chance it will help."


"I came online months ago after I had my first son in search of birth control. I saw all the horror stories about Mirena and cancelled my appointment right away. After trying the pill and constantly forgetting I went ahead and set up another appointment. The installation of Mirena for me was painless, probably because I got it not long after my son was born. I had some spotting for a week or two but I've had Mirena since January or February and I LOVE IT. I've had one period (which was very light). I haven't gained any weight from what I know but I wasn't losing my pregnancy pounds like all my friends were. Now that I'm watching what I eat the pounds are falling right off. I do get occasional cramping but nothing serious. I recommend this!"


"I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since the early 80's and have been on every drug there was. I started Enbrel as soon as it came in the country and have had wonderful results. I am no longer in severe pain and my joints stopped swelling. I do have to watch for colds cuz they go right to my lungs if I take a shot that week. This is the BEST drug on the market, now they need to bring down the cost!! Very expensive."


"I had colorectal cancer at age 29 and have had several colonoscopies. I always drank the Golytely and it worked like a charm! I was prescribed this Prepopik and NOTHING happened. I had one small BM and had to reschedule my procedure. Waste of my time and money! Next time I will poor lemonade mix in my Golytely to have a successful cleanse. I will never use Prepopik again!"


"Started on Benicar 7 days ago after 3 years on Cardizem Dl 360. So far my blood pressure has not responded well especially my diastolic. I am a nurse so I take my blood pressure daily. I have a history of intolerance to drugs and have to change medications freguently."


"I had Kyleena inserted about one month ago and it really wasn't bad at all. I'm 19 and have never had kids and insertion just felt like an intense period cramp. It only lasted about one minute. I was crampy for about fifteen minutes after, but was able to be up and go to class the rest of the day. I spotted for two days. My first period included pretty bad cramps and prolonged bleeding, but after that I stopped bleeding, except for occasional spotting. I love this IUD and would definitely recommend it to others. I have my check up on Monday, but so far so good!"


"After trying several different birth control options (pill/IUD) this is by far the best one so far ... I've been taking it for a little over 4 years and it is very effective with  minimal side effects - mostly physical symptoms like slight dizziness from time to time and slight discoloration on my face which is easily covered with powder.  Over the course of the last year or two, my periods went from your average 5 to 7 day period to a very nice 3 day, very light period."


"I just want to share my experience because I'm pretty impressed with this pill. I was on another pill previously and it was okay except for the fact that I would spot ALL THE TIME, which got annoying. So my Dr suggested I try this to see if my spotting would stop and at first I was hesitant to try it due to bad reviews I've read but I'm glad I tried it anyways because so far I don't have any negative reaction to it. No headaches, no increased appetite, no weight gain, no breast tenderness, I don't find myself really emotional, no pmsing which is great. I would recommend trying it, it take about 3 months for your body to adjust to bc pills. I'm glad it's working out for me, better than the previous pill I was on :)"


"I switched to this pill from Mirena due to severe cystic acne (from the Mirena). The last pill I had taken was Yaz, which I did great with. After my first month on Microgestin Fe, my cystic acne started clearing up. The first couple days I was nauseous, but that went away. Taking it right before bed helps. I've been on it for about 3 months now and I've gained about 10 lbs. I'm the heaviest I've ever been! I'm always hungry and have developed an intense sweet tooth! My breasts did get larger. I'm a 34 C, and I can still wear the same bra size, they just look fuller. No extra sensitivity with them, though. My libido didn't really change. Just my weight."


"I was terrified to use epiduo after reading the reviews but once I realized I had to buffer it, it seemed much more approachable. If you're not used to using retinoids, don't put this directly on your face and don't use it every night. I took a pretty conservative approach and mostly been able to minimize pain/flaking.

Here's what I do:
-Wash my face with a gentle cleanser (I use Aveeno Positively Radiant)
-Put on some cerave moisturizer
-Wait 20 minutes
-Put on the epiduo forte

I only do this at night, once every 2-3 days. If I feel my skin getting irritated, I'll stop using the epiduo till it gets back to normal. Don't muck around with your skin! If it's irritated and awful, no reason to torture yourself and use the epiduo every night just use it every couple of nights"


"This medicine is unbelievable! I stopped smoking after 30 years of 1 pack a day. The thing is I never really wanted to stop in the first place. It was just getting so expensive that when my Doctor suggested it I thought what the heck. I started the medicine and followed the directions, and actually didn't stop until the 5th day.( I had part of a pack left at the end of the 4th day)I prepared myself for the big urge, like I had experienced before when I tried to quit cold turkey. NEVER HAPPENED!"


"Wow what a difference maker.  I am a young Male (30ish) and have found that Vyvanse has been such a life changer. I am gettiing so much more done at work. When I go home at night I find myself enjoying my time with my children more. I am not getting the crash effect I was experiencing with other medicines. That reason alone is so worth it. I have not had any side effects, well maybe minor dry mouth, but it last me 12-13 hours.  It is truly an awesome medication. I would recommend it."


"I recently went on a 10 day vacation to Jamaica and only had I bm there, and since I've been back only 1 bm so I'm extremely constipated. I had stomach pains and felt like I need to go but could never finish the job so I decided to try ducolax. I took it last night around 830 and woke up at 430 with horrible stomach pains like I wanted to cry but I didn't feel the need to go. I found that laying on my stomach gave me some relief so I was able to fall back asleep.  Woke up this morning with the same pain but still nothing this  was a bit frustrating but an hour later I had my first bm, from these comments I'm expecting more but I feel better already.  I didn't experience sweats, chills, or nausea so I'd say this works well besides the cramps"


"Hi, I am sharing my opinion with maximum respect to all readers and based only on my own experience.
I've had migraine almost all my life. I am 44. My migraine was 50% pain and 50% mood change (which was terrible or even worse than the pain). This has been deeply affecting my quality of life, my relations (mood changes) and also at work.  The last neurologist I visited put me on Amitriptyline 25mg. The medicine helped a bit reducing the frequency of the migraines. However migraines came back and the last attack lasted for 3 weeks.
He changed the dose to 50 mg. I am now 71 days without migraine and still counting. I am a new person and I wish my comment may help others."


"Started this medication 2 days ago.about 3 weeks ago I fell down some stairs and hurt myself. Went in and my highest weight ever! (269.7#)
I started eating healthy to prevent Weight gain while nursing injuries. Saw the doctor Thursday 12/1 and prescribed phentermine (and thankfully down to 267#). I weighed in this morning at 263#
For those discouraged, please don't forget this is to help maintain a healthy lifestyle change. I have arthritis in my feet so I'm hoping to Kickstart the weight loss to make exercise easier on my poor feet. Until then, I've been walking 30 minutes daily. I'll keep you all posted. Baby steps!"


"Works great. I have not had any side effects, no headache or vision problems. 50 years old and still going strong thanks to Levitra. A half hour before the foreplay works for me. Sexual activity has lasted as long as an hour and a half after that old age sets in. Most times I'm good for 45 to 60 minutes of HARD action."


"On my fifth day of Cipro and Flomax, age 19 with severe prostatitis. Feeling very dizzy and light headed. Anxiety attacks for 30 seconds but then go away. Hopefully by the second or third week I start to feel better!"


"Wow this cream works I have pcos and after years of plucking every day as the hair was so bad my doctor prescribed vaniqa . The difference is very noticeable after under 2 months."


"Almost immediate relief, long lasting."


"The pill itself does what it's supposed to and seems to work pretty well but it gave me some pretty strange white discharge. I thought I kept getting infections but I didn't. It was just from the pill. Also, one of the biggest problems I had with it was that I had a MAJOR decrease in my sex drive. I never wanted sex or to do anything sexual. It was really hard for me to even get turned on. It did it's job not letting me get pregnant but it's hard to get pregnant when you can't even get turned on enough to have sex."


"After being taken off the arm implant due to complications with anxiety, and not being able to remember taking the pill, the patch, I've found, is the most suitable method for me. Sometimes the patch does come off but as long as you stick it on and really press on the edges for a minute that is less likely to happen. My first 2 months on the patch I did experience some morning sickness 2-3 times, however my body adjusted and I no longer have had to deal with this. As far as rashes, the patch may make the selected area red and itchy, but it's nothing unmanageable. Overall I would say the patch is the best option for me out of the 3 methods I've tried."


"Started Rapaflo three days ago.  Stream improved after first day.  Retrograde ejaculation today.  Some stuffy nose and some bloating stomach pain in evening.  Debating whether to continue.  Generally don't like medicines and do not take anything else.  Would like to have Benign Prostate Hyperplasia corrected surgically but am afraid.  Will give the medicine a little longer before deciding next course of action."


"Amazing drug! I'm 30 and suffering from little ED stress related, I met an amazing woman but I was to stressed to keep a hard one. Decided to try Viagra, took a 50 mg and after 30 minutes we had the most amazing sex ever! I swear that we had sex for two hours, she climaxed multiple times and I only climaxed when I decided to,  At no time did I have any problems during sex and never experienced any side effects."


"My blood sugars were doing good at first but now being my second month they are higher than they ever have been. Not sure what is going on and am having some on and off abdominal pain. Such a bummer I want it to work so I don't have to inject every time I eat. I have mody 2 diabetes so it is different than type one or two."


"My son is 6 and has been on this medication for a week and has shown improvement at school. He has been able to work independently on his work sheets and gets through his work faster. He is very smart but didn't have the focus to complete a task but I have noticed he has loss of appetite and not going to sleep at night which is bothersome to me because he was always such a good eater and sleeper. So might have to look into other medicines."


"Okay so I'm writing here because when I was freaked out these reviews really helped me. Do not worry this pill will work. This is the reason it exists, I had unprotected sex during a very fertile time and possibly even during ovulation. I took the pill about 7 hours after. Period was due in about 2 weeks and it came today a couple days early! I had no side effects other than tiredness for the first day and some diarrhea. Other than that it was just a waiting game. But it worked for me and I'm sure it will work for you too, stay calm and know that this pill works"


"Horrible for me, I used to use pills so I decided I will try this method it works about no getting pregnant ,I had only a year and its the worst experience, I haven't had a period for a year I'm starting to have problems with my gall bladder, breast pain everyday no sex drive at all and let's not talk about the weight gain almost 20 pounds in one year I will get it out by the end of this year cause I can't take it any more I won't recommend this !"


"The best blood pressure pill I've taken. My BP stays at 120/70. My doctor said that's the best it's ever been. I've had no side effects from it. I use the prescription card and get it for $40 a month. My Obamacare insurance does not pay for this."


"I was given Zyban to stop smoking.  After three days I realized I had not smoked or wanted to in two days.  It was that fast.  I had no side effects that I remember and stopped taking them after two weeks.  It's been close to 10 years now and I have absolutely no craving or desire to smoke.  At the time I began Zyban I had smoked over a pack a day for about 14 yrs."


"I broke my back 8T when I was 29. The pain got worse as I aged.  This past year I  thought my life of suffering would destroy me.  My doctor placed me on the patch.  It made me feel so much better.  A life saver. Considering I have a curved spine and fibromyalgia too. I have to wear 2 X 25mg and change every 48 hours.  My only complaint is sweating and some dizziness. "


"I started taking this today went to the Dr they have me a steroid shot and then prescribed me this, cause I'm breaking out in hives all over, it has helped a bit but still breaking out in hives and feel tingly, but the side effects suck cause I have a newborn to take care of and I feel wired. I feel sweaty and nervous, I pray this really works to get rid of my hives I'm so tired of itching!"


"I took this drug for about a year and then had to quit when I lost my job and my new job didn't have very good health coverage. After being off the drug for about a year, my depression was worsening (would start sobbing over the smallest things) and I decided to restart the medication despite the cost.

Having been off the medication for a year now, I don't really remember if I initially had any side effects - though it's worth noting that I started at 5mg and worked my way up to 20mg, whereas this time I'm just restarting the 20mg. I'm almost a week into it and I'm experiencing constipation and itchy skin. It's not pleasant but I'm sure it'll go away soon. This med works really fast, I already feel my depression lifting."


"I had been on almost every medication and was on Prednisone for 2 years.  I was at the end of my rope and thought I'd never get better.  I reluctantly took Humira and I was so scared of giving myself shots.  After the initial loading 4 I cried.  I started out taking a shot every 2 weeks and it took me quite a while to actually depress the injector.  I have now been on Humira weekly for over a year and my life is quite different.  I am glad to get up in the morning, happy to go to work, elated to go the grocery store - all without scoping out a restroom first.  I feel alive for the first time since I was diagnosed.  I wait everyday for the Humira to quit working and I hope it doesn't.  For now I'll take what it has given me."


"I've always had super clear skin then recently broke out in a really aggressive bit of Rosacea all over my chin and it was spreading-my confidence was out the window so I went to the doctors and she prescribed me with Finacea-at first it didn't do much and there were times it would flare up and I thought it was actually getting worse but I kept using it twice a day anyway and in the 3rd week it started clearing up more and more every day! I'm now in my 4th week using it and it is almost completely clear-it does take a little time to take effect but the results are so worth the persistence!"
