"I got Nexplanon BC in January 2015, so almost a year now, and I have had only one week out of this whole year that I have not bled, constantly. I have gained at least 30 lbs. I have never had bad acne, but it seems that the implant has helped with that, and I'm not pregnant, but who could be after bleeding for nearly 11 months straight. So unless you enjoy bleeding constantly and very severe mood swings and weight gain, I wouldn't recommend it."


"I started taking Viibryd almost a month ago. I'm taking the 28th dose tonight. I've tried Zoloft, Celexa, Paxil and none have worked as good and fast. I noticed changes in the first week. I felt great. No worries no anxiety or depression. About a week ago I started to feel a tingling that would run through my whole body. It would get more intense, the longer I kept my eyes closed."


"I have never been in so much pain in my entire life. I have never had a yeast infection before and took this stuff and instantly thought I was allergic or dying. I sincerely wish I would have read these reviews before I wasted my money for the worst night of my life. I think this medicine truly might be a joke to torture women and if you took this medicine, you know I am far from being dramatic."


"Makes me sneeze every time, and is scented which is irritating and may even be the cause of the sneezing.

Despite that, I persist in its use as its moisturizing gel properties are entirely effective."


"Took it off and on for 2yrs on the advice of my doctor and because of my age. I was told this was the best option for me. Had terrible deep itching it the injection site and painful welts. After stopping when I was pregnant and restarting symptoms were more pronounced and eventually went into anaphylactic shock. Fell over hit the side of my face and that's when I called it quits. It's been over a year and at this point I am choosing to stay off any of these medications. Not enough evidence to support the pros outweigh the cons."


"my hair is falling out by the handful!"


"I decided to do some research to make sure that I was prescribed the correct thing, I had never heard of an antibiotic starting with Nitro? After reading the scary reviews I contacted my doctor's office and they assured me they have multiple patients that have been prescribed it, and with good results. I was prescribed 2 pills a day for 10 days, and I wouldn't even know I was on it other than a change in the color of my urine. I feel completely normal and have no side effects, and it is getting the job done! I felt better after one day."


"At age 37 I started feeling dizzy. -Not spinning, just a non-descript dizzy feeling, similar to a bad cigarette buzz.

After 40+ doctors, 2 Mayo clinics and 2+ years, I was finally diagnosed with "vestibular migraine" and/or migrainous vertigo. I hesitate to call it vertigo as I was never spinning NOR DID I HAVE ANY HEADACHES!

I was started at 40mg Verapamil 2x daily. That helped some. More was better. I worked with several Neuro-Otologists. At some point I was put on Verapamil ER, which I took once daily. -Much easier. I gradually increased the dosage to 400mgs/daily for about a month. I believe that broke the migraine cycle and was able to decrease down to 120mgs/day. I have since increased a bit as life stresses have increased."


"Ever since I been on the nexplanon I have gained weight.  I also can't lose weight. I have gained 15 lbs since being on it. I've been on it for almost 2 years. But it does its job I didn't get pregnant."


"Day 1 and this patch has folded over itself and isn't sticking ... What a great start !"


"I had my Nexplanon device inserted about eleven months ago.  The only side effect I think I've experienced is spot bleeding.  For a while it wasn't so bad- I wouldn't have my period for a very long time (like two months) then I would have it for longer than I used to with a different consistency (over a week).  Now, I pretty much bleed randomly all the time. It makes my sexual life difficult.  I will probably get it taken out at my next gynecological exam."


"I've been on Valtrex as suppression therapy for two months. After first contracting HSV2 I was getting outbreak upon outbreak with no break. It has significantly reduced my outbreaks but I am still getting them and presently not much relief. My doctor thinks it may take more time for the medication to work. But I did notice a review where this person upped their dosage while in outbreak. Will try this and see."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for 3 years now and absolutely love it! I had very heavy debilitating cramps and periods. This pill saved me. I have not had a period in 3 years. No side effects or weight gain either. My only con is having to take a pill everyday. But, for it saving me such agony and my sanity. I love it."


"I've suffered social anxiety for years and just battled on. Then someone smashed into my car from behind while in traffic and I started having awful panic attacks. I didn't really know what they were at first but I was struggling badly. Eventually things calmed down but a hugely stressful life situation caused the attacks to flair up again.
I finally sought help and was prescribed 2mg diazepam, 1 - 2 Tabs for an attack. I will barely take a headache tablet I was extremely worried about using Valium. But it's absolutely amazing. Use it with caution, take as little as possible and stop and see what happens. I can take half a tablet (1mg) to completely stop panic episodes that have built up over time. Be careful and it will serve you well."


"I am a 18 y/o female who has never had severe acne before. But August of 2016 I broke out like crazy.Got incredibly painful cystic acne. In December I was prescribed tretinoin 0.05%. I was on both doxycycline pills and the tretinoin for a couple weeks. The first 2 weeks were pretty bad. I didn't want to touch my face from how much the acne hurt and because I was peeling so bad. But after the first couple weeks my skin started to clear up. It was nice to be able to wash my face without it hurting or feeling all the unevenness. I've been on it for about 3 months now and I get breakouts on my period but thats it. The scarring is fading away slowly but I can't get over how smooth my skin feels. Just wait it out. It really does take time to work"


"Started Lithium in 1986.  This has been my bedrock since then.  In 2011 my doctor added Wellbutrin because I was sub-clinically depressed and felt stuck."


"I have been taking Lexapro 10mgs for nearly 4 months because of anxiety and mild depression. I had about 5 days at first with some dizziness and nausea, after that things smoothed out. Almost immediately it cured my insomnia by 95%.I take it in the morning. In the past, if I woke up at night my thoughts would turn to things that kept me from falling asleep again. As far as anxiety, I am not worrying about things at work so much. I still have some social and anticipatory anxiety, but it is some better than before. Depression is much better; I frequently have a warm feeling of happiness and everything will be alright. Before I felt distressed and flat about the future. So, I would definitely recommend a trial with this medication."


"I was prescribed this pill for pain after a surgery and it did absolutely nothing. After my first dose, I had a grand mal seizure and I was then diagnosed with epilepsy. This pill brought out the epilepsy in me that I never knew I had. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL."


"I have had trichotillomania since I was a kid, for those of you who don't know what Trichotillomania is, it's hair loss from repeated urges to pull or twist the hair until it breaks off. Patients are unable to stop this behavior, anyway these urges come in episodes, sometimes an episode lasts a week, a month, or several months these episodes can be caused by stress, changes in lifestyle, social reasons, or no obvious reason at all. I'm 18 years old and I find this medicine helpful, I take it only when I have the symptoms and in a few days I can see I'm getting better sometimes the symptoms disappear completely, the side effects are annoying but they can get better with time. I recommend this drug."


"I love ESGIC for headaches.  When I feel one coming on I can take one pill and it will wipe it out before it gets full blown. I only take it when necessary.  A prescription of 30 will last me usually a year sometimes less, sometimes more.  I hate the fact that they are going to take it off the market!"


"It gets rid of the anxiety but mostly because it knocks me out. One pill makes me sleepy for 2 days."


"So far, I love the implanon! I read so many horror stories before getting it inserted that I was so scared.
I'm 21 and  have horrible periods normally. I  had to stop taking the pill as I gained 8 kgs, my breasts were so tender all the time and I was so emotional and teary. I honestly thought the implanon would do the same to me but so far NO periods, NO weight gain (in fact i've lost weight) Great sex drive, My mood is the same as always!

Really happy! Don't let all the negative stories affect you, everyone's body works so differently!"


"I take Welbutrin XR, so it takes a couple to a few weeks to kick in and wear off. I didn't like it very much when I first started because it really didn't feel like anything changed for me. I never felt like I was on medication at all, I just felt normal. But I talked to my doctor about it, and he pretty much explained how that was exactly how it's supposed to be. So ever since then, I've been hopelessly devoted to my Welbutrin XR."


"My blood pressure averaged 160/110.  This was the first medicine I was prescribed for high blood pressure, and the next day I started getting readings in the 120/80 range and have been normal ever since.  I have not had one side effect from this medicine in 3 months now."


"I was prescribed Atarax for my anxiety disorder. It did not help at all & only made me so tired I couldn't function. Definitely a waste!"


"I've been taking Venlafaxine 75mg for about 9 months now. It has helped tremendously with my anxiety, unfortunately I've gained 50lbs on this med. I can't keep on this bc of the huge weight gain, but I wish I could. I haven't had any other side effects."


"Has help greatly with hot flushes from chemo induced menopause."


"I just received my third injection today and it may be a bit too early to guage how effective it will be.   However, I am pleased to report that unlike some of the reviewers I did not find the injections to be painful.   I just felt pressure and some discomfort when the fluid was injected but it was quickly over.   And for that I thankful.   I'll report back after a month or so."


"I took Plan B one step within 24hrs. Plan B One-Step works. But you receive cramping, headaches, bloating, constipation and a lot of nausea. But its works, trust me. Just take it in the right time and don't have unprotected sex."


"I have been taking tri linyah for 4 years. I have never gotten pregnant on this pill. My boobs got a cup size bigger on it and i was 115 pounds before i took it and after taking it i am 125 pounds. My periods are on time and lighter on the pill. The nausea subsided about 2 months after first taking it. The only thing i didn't like about it is that it gave me mood swings and lower sex drive."


"After reading the good and bad reviews I thought I would give it a go. Never again! I was ok for about 2 days.. on the third day I couldn't stop vomiting, i felt like I couldn't breath properly and was dizzy. Just thinking about these tablets one year on and I feel nauseous!"


"I've been battling Gastrointestinal problems from day one, but for the last two years, I've been suffering intolerable pain. two GP's and two gastroenerologists later I was still having problems with no clear diagnosis. Finally, I saw a new GP last week, that seemed to chalk my symptoms up to IBS, and she prescribed me this medication. I've only been on 1/2 a 25mg pill each evening for five days, and already my symptoms have vastly improved. There's brief pain for about 10 minutes occasionally, but it passes quickly now and is far less severe, and I'm not kept up all night by the pain anymore like before. No ill effects, as I take it in the evening about an hour before bedtime. This medication is a godsend for me!"


"Awful as I'm writing this. Its 1:30 am and I am up, and I can't sleep, and it made me cough so much more!!! I have a baby and now that I can't sleep because of this medicine I'm going to be miserable tomorrow!! I Don't recommended to anyone!"


"I'm 17 years old and last year I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I was switched to 200mg of Celebrex three months ago instead of taking 20mg of prednisone a day. And all I can say is that Celebrex has made my life almost normal again. I can go back to school and hang out normally with my friends again. Even if it might only be short term, Celebrex has saved my life."


"I have been taking suboxone for about 3 years now and it always worked great for me. Well since my insurance will not cover it any longer, my doc wrote me out this new script of bunavail. I have to say this is the worst Meds I have ever tried. I still feel tired through out the day which makes my mind start to wonder into the wrong places. A huge con for me is how long it takes to dissolve, I held it in for 1 1/2 hours before I finally said screw it and dug it out. This is a pathetic excuse for a replacement. I will not be trying this again, come next week I will be paying for my subs, I don't care how much they cost. All this medication is going to do is get people using again."


"Zoloft was the first antidepressant I had been put on. It was mainly prescribed for my anxiety but also for my problems with depression and as soon as I started taking I started to feel better (possible placebo effect). I had to build up the dosage slowly because the side effects were moderately harsh on me. Although it did not make me tired like Luvox does to me, it gave me stomach aches and decreased appetite. And I had periods of dizziness as well. I was beginning to see improvement especially because I began it during the summer when most of my stress was coming from school. But after about 3 months when I went on vacation, my symptoms came back out of nowhere and I slowly went off of it. I am on Luvox now. I am 14 years old."


"This is truly a cure all!  As long as it's taken the right way and responsibly I see no problem with that whatsoever."


"I've been on nuvaring for about 2 years now and I recommend it to all my friends.  I didn't experience any mood swings or weight gain. But my boobs went up a cup size.   It's super easy to put in and take out and I never forget to take it because it's already there! 3 weeks and then out one week for a period and then repeat. It sometimes falls out from sex but you have 3 hours to put it back in. My boyfriend doesn't feel it at all. You should definitely try it. Nothing but great results for me."


"I have had anxiety for about 4 years now. It started after

I graduated high school and has worsened since I had my son. I have tried Prosac, Lexapro and Cymbalta. I have also tried Xanax for my bad panic attacks. Recently I tried Depakote because my doctor said I had signs of bipolar disorder. After all that nothing seemed to help except the Klonopin. I am taking it now by itself and I don't feel that HORRIBLE anxious feeling anymore. Highly Recommended !"


"Was on 0.5mg for a month and not much of an effect except noticed I was sweating more and found it impossible to wake up in the mornings- I actually fell back asleep on my bedroom floor! Thoughts were still racing, still panicking when in social situations, just didn't really help."


"Had my first Lupron shot before 45 days of radiation. Having hot flashes,muscle and joint pain but not too bad. Doing the shot every 3 months. Psa went from 11.5 to 0.1. Next shot coming up in couple weeks. Don't have a problem with the shot or after having it. I think Lupron has been helping me, but everyone has different experiencies with it. Good luck to all you prostate cancer people."


"I have 2 torn discs in my lower back and Lumbar Facet Syndrome  (joints). My job is extremely physical. I've been on EVERYTHING! Nothing works as well as this. I'm able to do my job and play with my kids."


"I am almost 46 and for 30 years have tried everything for chronic hormonal acne (antibiotics, Accutane, all the skin care lines, Retin A).  This medication has been a miracle for me.  I still get little blackheads / small pimples around my menses, but are barely noticeable. I continue on with my Retin A treatment which helps that. I haven't noticed any side effects.  I do watch my potassium intake (no bananas)."


"Day 1 on clonazepam.... this drug is awesome! I know there are tons of side effects but not being able to sleep good for a year is worth the possible risk. I was on it before and nothing happened so I should be good. I also only need .25mg of it because my body absorbs it really good. And the wellbutrin I'm on seems to help kick the major fatigue that I remember from last time.First night and i got 7 hrs of straight sleep for the first time in years. I really hope it continues to help me. I know it can be addictive so I'm going to try only taking it until the wellbutrin I just started is fully in my system. We will see how this goes, but so far so good."


"The heart burn is as bad like When I was pregnante seven years ago it kept me up last night and still has today"


"This was my first experience with birth control. I only lasted one week. I couldn't breathe, was weak and exhausted, and got really depressed. I do have a history of depression, though."


"My doctor prescribed lisinopril for my blood pressure. She is an osteopath and very much into prevention. I'm not even sure my blood pressure is high. I've gone a few weeks without it and when I do my re check at the doc is 120/70. That happened a few times. But my point is, it really helped with my hormonal headaches. Now I'm period free and totally migraine free for 5 years. So hopefully you hormone migraine sufferers will have the same luck. It does give me that little annoying dry cough, but I'd say it's worth it."


"Lactulose promotes a soft bowel movement without cramping, nausea or valsalvo effects."


"I have severe osteoarthritis in my left knee since an infection from surgery in 1972.  I started using Feldene around 1983 when I had a severe flare up of pain.  I have a strong aversion to pills of any sort but I regard Feldene as a miracle drug.  My pain cleared up in days.  A 30 day supply would last me for better than a year since I would only take when needed.  I've found that it works best when taken in conjunction with exercise because it is the exercise that is the true "cure" for the problem.  It seems to smooth the arthritis and perhaps provide other natural relief.  The Feldene makes the activity more tolerable and leads to a faster cure.  When I get lazy and inactive the problem comes back."


"So I've had the implant since June 2015 and I haven't stopped bleeding it's so annoying the reason I got it was so I wouldn't worry about getting a period every month but I've been on my period since I got it ! idk whether to leave it or just take it off ."


"Effexor stopped my panic attacks almost completely.  It's also great for post-menopausal hot flashes.  Like others said, you can't miss a dose, but other than that it's amazing.  A total life-changer."


"I used this medicine twice, I noticed a little burning sensation but it came and went, it worked pretty well, within 3 days it was cleared up, however I waited the 7 days before doing anything and then I was fine."


"I have been on several anxiety/depression medications over the last 30 years and always had some kind of side effect. I would either get an allergic reaction or it would make my anxiety worse.
Finally tried Brintellix 10 mg. two months ago, and I feel great, I have had no side effects what so ever. I just feel normal. I rarely take Xanax now and can go to sleep and usually sleep thru the night.
I am still taking free samples from my doctor as my Insurance company will not cover. I have sent in an appeal for them to reconsider..my fingers are crossed"


"Great feeling before bed and sleep all night."


"Gedon (20 mg at night only) was added to my Cymbalta prescription (120 mg/day), and within days I began to feel true happiness and joy (things I hadn't felt to such a deep degree in over 2 decades). About 1 week after taking the medication, my perception of the world changed from being "flat/2D" to being able to perceive my environment in 3D. Geodon helped to bring me "back to life". I had Depersonalization Disorder for 20 years, and this medication has helped me to be almost entirely cured of it! Oh yeah- the sedative side effects suck, but they either go away within a week or hit you for no apparent reason even after taking the medication for a few months. I can't drink red wine or get less than 6 hours sleep or I'm a zombie the next day."


"I had my lilleta placed in June 2015. It is now Aug 2016 and My due date is tomorrow to have my baby. I got pregnant with the iud still in place. It was found bellow the baby and so I had it removed."


"I have osteoarthritis in both knees and will being getting knee replacement next month. This stuff is wonderful. I wish I had found it years ago. I am referring to the topical cream. I rub it in well twice day and oh, what a difference. You must be consistent with it and the relief will grow on you."


"Was on Humira for 11 years, which stopped working. Enbrel, horrible reaction. Started Simponi in

April. It took about 2 months to kick in, but now working great!  Sleeping  better than ever, have only had 2 days of minor pain. Only thing that is still challenging is the fatigue. Very happy with results and love the once a month injection."


"On my third month of using Accutane I must say it definitely works but the lower back  & side pain is getting out of hand it's depressing because I've dealt with acne most of my life & have used everything under the sun ,but the one thing that works I can't use ...I highly recommend it but be careful with the side affects"


"I have now lost 13 pounds on Belviq in one month! My start weight was 186lbs and now I am 173lbs. I continue to eat normally with no side effects. It is so much fun to be able to control my eating instead of my eating controlling me. I spent a solid year on a low carb diet and only lost 25 lbs until I quit losing and started gaining it back. I was very motivated during that year to lose weight and followed the low carb diet. I know Belviq says use with motivated clients but I can assure you I was only slightly motivated...I wanted a miracle pill. Belviq is that."


"Tried everything this is the only thing that worked"


"I am currently taking 75mg of venlafaxine.  About 20 minutes after taking my capusule on day 1, I felt a little loopy for about an hour but nothing major.  My appetite was tremedously lower for the day as well.  Day 2 and now at today, Day 3, it's like I'm taking a sugar pill in terms of side effects.  I have none at all and wouldn't feel like I was taking anythign except is has slightly reduced my level of anxiety and I notice that I'm having an easier time focusing on my work projects.  I may need to increase the dosage at some point but I'm going to give it a month to see if it needs some time.  Hope everyone else has the same postive experience that I have so far!"


"At first was a godsend. 20 years later, whole body dystonia, haven't slept in 5 nights.I thought this the best and now I believe it will kill me. Not being dramatic. I am getting old and my body is giving out trying to handle getting off this drug. I worked in the addiction industry and never saw this much suffering and pain"


"I started Suboxone 15 days ago to combat a 4  year opiate addiction. I've read a lot of reviews of Suboxone and many of them weren't good. Sorry about you all because this drug is great. I had the normal ope addiction, and here, on day 15, I'm down to one 2mg dose in the morning. I didn't remember to take that until noon. It works, it works so well. No withdrawals, have energy, no desire to take anything else. Bottom line, I plan to stop the Suboxone. They work and I feel normal again.  I don't care if there is an opiate whatever in there, they work, are prescribed and I am me again. I'm so happy and relieved."


"I started originally on Tri-Sprintec for about 3 months, which I believe is the generic of Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I was an emotional wreck, so my doctor switched me to Apri. I had absolutely NO symptoms whatsoever. I actually lost weight! Didn't increase my bra size, which could have been from the losing weight part. My acne cleared up within 2 months of starting Apri. It made my period so regular that I knew to the day down to the hour that I would start my period, with absolutely no spotting in between periods. I didn't really notice any changes in my sex drive. Overall, I would strongly recommend this pill!"


"I'm 32 and I've been on this pill since I was about 19. About 6 months ago I ran out of pills but I was busy and kept forgetting to make an appointment with my GP so stayed off it. BIG MISTAKE. I am now plagued with cystic acne as bad as I had as a teenager! I had completely forgotten how bad it was and how painful my skin was. I now have to wait another months before I can even get any more as my GP is fully booked up. Christmas and New Year will be spent inside avoiding people. All Hail Yasmin."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"First glass okay, then started to vomit. Forced myself the other half a litre due to operation however could drink no more as I was terribly ill vomiting. My operation had to be postponed. I am now waiting an alternative. Moviprep is gross to drink but does make the bowels move."


"I'm 24, no children, and had the Skyla IUD put in only a few hours ago. I spent a ton of time researching Skyla and IUDs in general before getting mine put in and I've always been nervous about the whole procedure. I almost bailed on the whole thing due to my anxiety! But I'm so, so glad I went through with it because it literally is NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK! The discomfort only lasted a minute and the cramping and pinching only came when they dilated my cervix (about 30 seconds). I couldn't even feel them put the Skyla in!  Then it was over and I felt woozy but soooo liberated that I was protected for 3 years. I had someone drive me home and I have normal first-day-of-period cramping. Worth it worth it worth it!"


"Ever since I had the mirena I had really bad pains stabbing shooting pains in my lower stomach and down my legs heaviness and pressure on my stomach and on my lower legs I could not walk the pain was so bad I couldn't stand I got an ultra sound to see if had a cyst my results came back normal I got the mirena out today and I can finally walk and function"


"I have been on long term/long acting narcotics which have made me very constipated. I was going once every 3-4 weeks and when I did go it was hard and caused a lot of bleeding. I have tried every thing imaginable enemas, suppositories, laxatives and stool softeners to no avail. I asked my GI doctor for this or Amitiza and was told that these were only available for IBS-C and he told me to do things I was already doing (drink plenty of water, eat leafy green veggies and take stool softeners). My primary care doctor (who is a saint) said lets try it anyway and it worked! I only go 2 -3 times per week but it is so good to know that I have some resemblance of regularity now. "


"Zelnorm is the only medication that worked for my IBS.  I am on other medications and I am having a lot of problems"


"I have found this to be the only drug that helps me sleep through the night without an episode.  It's been a year since my last doctors visit and I can count on one hand the number of night terrors I have had.  Only thing is that it doesn't make me as sleepy as it did but I've been on it for about 2 years so it's probably time to increase my dose.  Night Terrors are fairly uncommon and hard to treat, but I highly recommend Klonopin."


"terrible depression, mood swings, not helping tremors seems same as before I was taking them, might ask doctor to stop giving it one more week, I have been taking for 6 weeks"


"I gave this pill a 5 because it DID protect me from getting pregnant so the pill does the job.

Pros:
Easy to take.
Protected me for 2 years.
Did not gain any weight.
Sex drive stayed normal

Cons:
-Constant chin acne
-Bad PMS that would start a week after getting my period so I felt like I never had a break. That food craving/sore breasts/ emotional/angry feeling would pop up 2 weeks before my period even started. Basically it was 1 week of normal and the rest was all hormonal.

Overall the pill does what you need it to do. Protects you from pregnancy. However, I can't take the emotions/acne so I'm on the hunt for a new pill."


"I find Neurontin/gabapentin to be a life saver in regards to my hot flashes. I was on the verge of going insane with how severe my hot flashes were and how frequent they were! The only problem....I've gained about 30lbs in the past 9 months. I want to quit because of the weight gain but I'm afraid the hot flashes will come back with a vengeance."


"I had the Mirena for the 5 years it was effective with absolutely no problems or side effects and then took a six month break. It worked so well I decided I wanted to have the same kind put back in. PP does not do Mirena any longer and I was told that Liletta was the same but lasted only 3 yrs. I went ahead and got Liletta put in 08/16. I absolutely hate it.  I went in to PP in Jan and was told by another doctor that it is NOT the same. It's "generic" which is not always the same. She said many women are having the same issues I have been. She gave me a couple of things to try and help. Incl. other medications.
My side effects:
Constant Bleeding (maybe 5 days a month free of at least spotting)
Bloating
Headaches
Depression
Horrible craving sweets and always hungry.
Breast tenderness at times to the point I could not touch my breasts even.
Enough time has been given to see if things would get better.
My appointment to have it removed is Tue."


"Got it November of 2014. Spotted for at least 3 months but now I'm not bleeding at all not even a period. Seems great ."


"I've never had acne and I cannot seem to get rid of it. I'm sure it's because of the Depo Provera as it started shortly after my first injection. I am in my 30's and an active runner. My hips and knees seem to be much more sore after runs after I started the Depo. I also have osteoporosis in my family and that is not helping my bone density situation. On the positive side, it's easy to take, stops my periods and I lost weight on it. All that being said, this will be my last cycle as the convenience is not worth brittle bones or a face full of acne."


"I had to stop just after 12 days. My breast was so tender. I couldn't sleep, walk or wear a bra. So much pain. I did find myself what was wrong with my breast after search on Internet.

They don't describe this symptoms in the lealeft as a side effect.

But can be happen and is warning side effect."


"I'm a 57 year old female that has just been diagnosed with RA about 6 weeks ago. My GP gave me Arthrotech to get me through until I could see the rheumatologist   The Arthrotech made me sick, for every 4 pills I took, I threw one up. Went to specialist yesterday and he gave me Plaquenil  - I've only taken it for 2 days so far (400 mg) daily but I'm feeling worse ( although the weather has changed - snow storm)   I can't believe how painful this disease is. Does it get any better? Will I have a pain free normal life one day soon? I don't go back to the specialist until May but I can't imagine being in this much pain until at least May. I'm feeling so sorry for myself and cry because I'm tired cry because I'm sore. When will it start working?"


"I was on Keppra (500 mg/day) since Jan 2010, due to grand mal seizures from a brain tumor. No more seizures until Jan 2013, then another one. They added Vimpat (50 mg, 3/x day) & upped the Keppra (to 750 mg/day). I know the side effects are due to Vimpat- I never had them before, even on higher doses of Keppra. Extremely itchy skin- itching at my face and scalp constantly. Severe dizziness the 1st month, but that went away as I've adjusted. My vision suddenly got bad; like blurred/double vision. My vision was always 20/20 before this. Constipation which I've never had, but that's okay. Overall irritation and snappy moods. Overall okay."


"1st 4 days were great, no pain and no lethargy.  Day 5 began with stomach upset and hot flashes.  Day 6 brought anxiety ending in severe depression and psychotic break.  All resolved after cessation in 24 hours.  "


"This gel is the best thing ever!!! Really works to get rid of spots both on the surface of the skin & underneath the skin. I suffer with breakouts especially during exam season & without duac I dread to think what my skin would be like. Works a dream! However, it is quite drying so I would reccomend using a moisturisor such as E45 to avoid dry flaky skin. Overall an amazing product :)"


"I have had the Mirena for almost 3 years now.  I had it placed about 6 months after having my daughter and had no pain at all. I did spot for several months and then it almost completely disappeared.  I now go without periods except the occasional spotting (I would estimate this at 3-4 times a year). It has been great. I have not gained weight or had problems with acne.  I do still have the PMS symptoms every 3 to 6 months that last around a week.  Sometimes they are worse that others.  I almost always spot after the PMS symptoms.  I have also gotten 2 ovarian cysts since the placement that lasted several weeks and were painful.  I did not get these, at least not painful ones before the Mirena.  Other than those few things it is a great!"


"Imitrex is a wonderful drug for us Cluster Heads.  I've not been without one on or about my person for the past 17 years.  I'm sure that all of us cluster suffers only wish that they would work a lot faster (like the injectitons), but I am sooooo thankful for them in any form.  A real "life saver"."


"I have had classical migraine (with aura) since I was 12.  They disappeared completely in my 20s but returned when I became pregnant.  Following two pregnancies I have had about 6 silent migraines (visual aura but no headache) a year until this year when I started to have alot more (still silent) migraines.  I realise I am very lucky to not have full blown headaches, but they have still been incapacitating and scary.  After having six migraines in a week I started to take amytriptiline (10mg).  I've been taking it now for about 11 weeks and have had three mild migraine auras since then.  Seems to be working -- will persevere.  No side effects after first week."


"This medication is hopefully going to replace the clonazapam that I am currently taking. I have only been taking it a week but I have already felt some changes. My mood is happier, my anxiety is relieved. I feel my energy has improved, (sometimes a little too much) I get pretty chatty and when I have a few things to do, I have a tough time concentrating on just one and I find myself kind of bouncing around if that make sense..I have always been that way it seems like the meds have intensified it. I sometimes have a little trouble gathering my thoughts. The dose in the morning  sometimes makes me sleepy so then I just drink like 2 red bulls and a monster and i'm good.;) Totally kidding!!!. I don't  drink caffeine.  Btw, I am taking 300 mg x3"


"Amazing! I have had toenail fungus since I was 16 years old - I am now 33 and 5 months ago decided to go to the doctor and do something about it.  7 of my toenails had very bad fungus - they were completely colored (yellow, brown, black etc.) and most of them were very thick and crumbly.  I never went barefoot in public and always covered my nails with nail polish.  I always envied people who could wear sandals etc.  My doctor prescribed terbinafine and I saw results in 3 weeks - I couldn't believe it - my nails started growing through clear and my athletes foot also disappeared.  Now, 5 months down the track my nails are growing through clearly - the thickness and crumbling has gone - I have had absolutely no side effects - I am so happy!"


"When I first started jeopardy I noticed instability with my emotions, especially anger.  After a complete rage out I decided to do some research and discovered that taking a vitamin b6 supplement helps to reduce or eliminate this effect.  The results were instantanious with me.  If you take keppra I strongly recommend getting the b6 supplement.  I take 1 in the morning with breakfast."


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


"I have been on Suboxone type medications since 2002 and it is now 2016; therefore, I would consider that I have tremendous experience with buprenorphine over the years. Suboxone Tablets then film  for 7-10 years, tried Zubsolve, which was an awful experience. Finally Bunavail.

I was taking 24-32 mg of Suboxone and I've been very very happy with Bumavail because I'm down to 12.6 mg a day.  This is the only medication that I can take as prescribed and am feeling less medicated. I absolutely love it.  Those who say it's terrible; maybe, but I have an inkling that he or she is just stuck and fears trying something new."


"Diagnosed with ADHD at 53. Who knew there was a reason for my quirky personality.  Tried Stattera and slept 15-18 hours a day, was switched to Ritalin and thought this was it. I really like how I feel, calm, focused.  My friends noticed. I did great for a couple of weeks and then became extremely impulsive and inappropriate.  I was focused, but on warp speed.  I gained 10 lbs in a week, because I could not stop eating once I started, I went on shopping sprees, driving jags, blurted out without the think before you speak button.  Once I started a task I had to finish, my kids were late to school, you get the picture.  This was definitely not the drug for me.  I stopped taking it a couple of days ago, I am still feeling the effect."


"Gets rid of my back pain better than anything I have been on yet!  For me this is the best! (However, I have never been on anything stronger like Duragesic.)"


"It was great at first for my GAD.  I have never been able to concentrate so well. Unfortunately, it completely eliminated my personality.  I didn't get upset or excited about anything.  I eventually went off of it after my desire for sex had been completely eliminated.  My ability to become aroused returned within a few weeks.  Fortunately, I did not have any withdrawal symptoms when I stopped taking it."


"I take this for both BPH and alopecia Just would like to say a few things about posters who have had bad experience with the drug, either side effects or lack of response. 1) if you are having testicular pain, for god sakes don't just stop the drug. You may have epidydimits or other problem that needs to be evaluated quickly by the urologist/MD that gave you the Rx. Young people take note. 2)when you are taking a combo drug of finesteride with an alpha blocker such as Flomax (tamsulosin) and you start having side effects such as dizziness, you really don't know which of the two may be causing it. Again, this is a subject that should be discussed with your MD and 3) If your doctor didn't tell you this, I will. Finesteride takes TIME to work months before seeing significant improvement"


"so far I have been using this for almost a week and I can already tell a difference and I mean a BIG difference. I have been suffering from acne since I was about 12 and in 20 now so for about 8 years. I have always been scared to use antibiotics I always used home remedies to try to clear up my acne but I am very thankful I decided to give this a try !"


"Armour reduced water retention and joint/tendon fatigue. However, it made me ravenous and raised my free T3 to uncomfortable levels. I also couldn't exercise. Back to Synthroid in the morning and 15 mg Armour in the afternoon... Better."


"Did not work for me. made me very tired at first then couldn't sleep through night after the 3rd day of taking. On the 4th day I developed

Akathisia which was quite miserable. discontinued after this occurred. If you feel like this is starting I'd stop immediately!"


"Don't let others' bad experiences prevent you from trying this medication.  It is strong, yes, and it will affect the chemical balance in your brain and shouldn't be taken lightly, but I'm an example of it working.  I used to have bouts of crying randomly, seriously depressed, no will to do much of anything.  I started this, kept with it through the side effects and it has been a life changer with my antidepressant.  I still feel, but less intensely/exaggerated.  It keeps me level headed generally.  The first week I felt a little nauseated, and it does increase appetite, but if you don't overeat, you won't gain weight with this medicine."


"This medicine was given to me after dental work. It did make me itch, but unlike other hydrocodone medicines, this one did not make me vomit. It knocked out my pain."


"I deal with extreme anxiety in a lot of different scenarios likely rising out of autism.  I'm on about 75mg a day, and I cannot say I have side-effects, other than waking up with a pounding heart for a few hours if I drink too heavily.  I have had such good effects from the drug to the point where I can actually see major differences in how I interact with people and events and almost see a difference in my personality (for the better) over the past several years.  I have recommended Vistaril to several people."


"I was falling a sleep every time I sat down - even at the computer, rocking a baby, in a car ride. I was trying to lose weight, but gaining instead. Someone would touch me and I would start sweating. I am 58. I have been on Synthroid (not generic) for 6 days now. I too am feeling a whole lot better. I was at 202 lbs 10 days ago. Today I am at 187.6 lbs. I did fall a sleep at the computer again last night, but my energy level is coming back."


"Restasis has been nothing short of a miracle for me!  My eyes hurt, were extremely dry, had bumps under my eyelids and terrible allergies and inflammation.  In the morning my eyelid would stick closed and I would have to open it slowly and add gel drops.  I was on 4 things a day for my eyes and they were not getting much better.  I run a humidifier because the dryness from running the heat in the winter seemed to make my eyes worse.  I could not wear my contact lenses as it was torture.  After being on Restasis for 3 weeks, I am 80% better.  I use Systane Ultra gel drops when I go to bed at night and my eyes are so much better in the mornings when I wake up.  I am now wearing my contact lenses again, but, not as long during the day as I used too.  Grateful!"


"I have taken just about everything on the market, with 1 week of starting Viibryd, my life was completely changed.  The best 30 days of my life, then I went from the sample pack to the prescription and it has been down hill for almost 60 days.  I have put on almost 15 lbs, the worst night terrors of my life, my sex drive in the 1st 30 days was through the roof, now nothing.  I cannot sleep, my anxiety was back and I became suicidal.  I have been off of Viibryd for 6 days, the withdrawals are rough and this is even after the step down process.  I was hoping that this would continue to be the best medication ever, but not for me.  "


"I started Qysmia on 3/1/16 weighing in at about 217 pounds / 5'3". Started on the lowest trial dose.  I'm making a more conscious effort to get up and move, but I can not say that I "work out."  I have a sedentary job working as a triage nurse.  I did a lot of homework prior to asking my PCP to prescribe it.  I have to say that I had many concerns, but I knew that I had to try something.  He had never prescribed it before.  I talk with people everyday whose medical issues were brought on by their weight and I am scared that I am headed in this direction too.  My caloric intake is about 1600/day.  No side effects so far.  Today is 3/6/16 and I've lost 1.5 pounds.  Can't tell yet if it has changed appetite yet or not.  Will update again."


"I was on Lexapro for almost 5 years for depression, but told my Doctor about the extreme anger, anxiety and more depression I had been having, so she immediately switched to Zoloft.  It's now been two months on Zoloft, and zero PMDD symptoms. My family is so glad I found this medication!

"


"I've had nexplanon for a year, and it has been great for me! Everyone definitely reacts differently to the implant. I don't have spotting in between periods, and my periods are pretty much the same as they always have been. I may have had some slight weight gain, but nothing significant all of my clothes still fit. I was so scared after reading a lot of reviews, but I have had a positive experience"


"I contracted Hep C 1a thirty years ago.  I am 53 yrs old and have stage 4 fibrosis,...Started taking Harvoni one month ago and have had various side effects including headaches, nausea, insomnia and fatigue.  Nothing I cant handle.  On the up side, my red palms are fading to white, my spider naevus on my legs and chest also fading and disappearing.  I felt like a different person after 3 days on Harvoni.  My brain fog started to clear and my moods stabilised.  I'm not saying that I don't have bad days, I do.  The side effects are transitory so hang in there.  I have my first bloods due in two days time.  Hoping to see a significant drop in my viral load and hoping that my liver is recovering somewhat."


"I am completely satisfied with Tri-Sprintec. I read many reviews that scared me but I tried anyway. I haven't experienced any side effects other than sore breasts. My advice to anyone looking for information on this birth control is to try it for yourself to see how your body responds. Very happy."


"I started this pill because I was having crazy mood swings and just not feeling like myself at least 3 weeks out of the month. My doctor prescribed me this hoping it would also treat my acne along with PMDD. Well, the first month was pretty rough as far as my acne was concerned but it wasn't as bad as I've read in other reviews. I had a few painful cystic pimples within 2 weeks of taking Yaz. I felt really embarrassed because my old pill (loestrin) gave me clear skin and I wasn't used to acne anymore. Well now I'm about to start my 4 inactive pills and about 3 days ago my skin just cleared up like MAGIC. I read that it takes about 3 months to level out your hormones. But I finally feel like myself again! No more crazy crying fits!!"


"After years of suffering a one nostril clog. I was recently prescribed a 5 day 250MG dosage of Zithromax.

I had zero side effects and it although it didn't totally clear my sinus infection it cleared it enough for me to know it was absolutely effective and on the right path.

I can now get lengthy periods of use out of my other nostril and that's better than I've had in 10 years."


"I was prescribed a low dose of it for prevention if UTI's and it gave me diarrhea..which for someone already dealing with IBS I'm on top of constant UTI's...is not helpful at all. Aside from that no side effects. Still stopped taking it though and was prescribed methenamine... hope it works!"


"I have one child and I always knew that I didn't want to have children so close together for the sake of my sanity! I'm not good with remembering pills so after a few scares I decided to give Implanon a try. Insertion was a breeze! My arm was sore for about a week afterwards, and then my arm usage was all back to normal. I haven't had ANY bleeding, dischagres, weight gain, lost of sex drive, headaches, etc. In fact I had a lost appetite, increased sex drive, and wonderful sex life knowing that babies wont evolve. I would recommend this product to anyone BUT I always say that everything is not the same for everyone."


"I've had acne since I was 12 and at the age of 20 I couldn't deal with it anymore. After my doctor gave me minocycline, my breakouts disappeared before a full week was even up! I am almost done with my first month and have had maybe one zit in the past two weeks. I don't even wear makeup anymore."


"When it comes to treating fibromyalgia, this medicine is the greatest. In the beginning it was prescribed to me for my Sciatica pain that runs from my low back down both legs and a few months ago when I went to my Pain Management doctor for an epidural he wanted me to come off the Neurontin for a month or few so as to see if the epi's were working and if so, how much.  I politely argued with him quite a bit because I knew how much Sciatica pain I'd be in without the drug but had NO IDEA it even was helping my fibromyalgia.  So I relented and came off the medicine.  By the 2nd week, my fibromyalgia was SO BAD that I was bed-ridden and pretty much stayed that way until my next appointment 2 1/2 weeks later.  It was quite literally a month from hell.  Neurontin Works."


"I'm a bit bipolar and so far this med is working great! It has calmed my mind down so much. It's helping me to slow down and make better decisions. I'm not so manic. I was on Abilify for 5 years it worked great at first but turned me into a manic, gambling freak! This stuff is great so far. Only side effect, it makes me hungrier than normal. So I see some weight gain in my future."


"I got the Liletta on 5/25/17 (2mo PP/C-Section). The insertion was very painful "


"I've been taking Relpax since 2009. It has always taken away the migraine headache within about an hour of taking 40mg. For that, I'm grateful. What I've noticed is that WHEN I take it makes a big difference.  If I take it at the first sign of a migraine, I always get a rebound headache the next day. I find that if I wait 12 hours, then take Relpax, the migraine goes away and doesn't rebound. If it ever does rebound, I have to just tough it out. I need to rest a lot after taking it or I'll get a rebound. And I have to take it with food. The one time I didn't gave me horrible nausea."


"when I first got nexaplanon inserted I was greeted with spotting and random periods.. Which I was okay with (they do warn you about this before you get it inserted) after about almost a year of having it in, I started bleeding non stop.. Heavy bleeding with large clots. To the point where I was taken by ambulance to the hospital where I was told my hemoglobin and hematocrit were extremely low due to my heavy periods. I was admitted and had 6 blood transfusions while I was there. After I was discharged I immediately went to my OB to get it removed.. I'm still suffering from the side effects of this horrible birthcontrol. I recommend sticking to the pills. This birthcontrol is horrible for me"


"I would never use this again!!!! If you already have a bit of anxiety without it do not get it! I had it in for a year and suffered from more severe depression and anxiety than ever before. I got it removed two weeks ago and my anxiety has literally decreased so much."


"Ive been using duac cream for 2 years now and honestly it's the best thing I've ever had. I didn't really have acne just dark patches on my face, and it has cleared them up so well better than other facial products. Only annoying thing is my face gets very dry, and went I put makeup on my face cracks, but I just over moisturise. Definatly recommend duac cream though, gave me so much more confidence"


"I've never used any contraceptive before but when my doctor told me I just needed to change the patch once a week I knew it was the patch for me. I LOVE the side effects! My breast increased in size, my butt did too, my weight is stable and my sex drive is amazing! Some breakouts here and there but not that bad."


"I started on 10mg for 7 days and was feeling less reactive and calm. Started 20mg and 3 days in was spiraling into deep depression, agitation, irritability, crying, not sleeping more than 2 hours at a time, shock like sensations down my right arm with my middle finger going completely numb, and headaches in back of head . I already have IBS so I expected GI distress. Nausea for 3 days along with severe diarrhea for about 2 weeks. Diarrhea is intermittent now. I am waiting to hear from my doc about reducing dose to 10mg again. I think that might be my ticket. Good luck to all!!"


"Taken ablify for over 8 months, gradually put on 20 lbs or so. Better than Seroquel Xr for weight gain and hunger pangs."


"I've taken birth control since I was 15, I am now 24. I used to get horrible migraine headaches around my menstrual cycle so I was put on continuous birth control. This has really made a huge difference for me! Instead of having a monthly period, I have a period 4x a year, every 3 months. I do believe birth control has been a contributing factor to my weight gain however. I don't have any crazy cramps or horrific mood swings. Currently I am taking Altavera."


"Mainly for severe health anxiety, which was making me depressed, asked for medication because I was desperate, having tried 'talking treatments'. Also try to use C.B.T techniques, very hard going.
2 years on Citalopram (Celexa), then palpitations, doctor changed to Escitalopram (Lexapro), 4 years now. No real side effects with either, general mood more stable, positive, more energy. Think more able to keep anxiety under control, though still get it. "


"I was on paxil 40mg for 13 years and decided ( like an idiot ) that I didn't need it anymore, withdrew from the paxil and it was hard!!! 3 months later was in a whirlwind of emotion, anxiety, panic, and fear!!! Didn't leave my house for 4 months!!!! I used to go to the beach to destress all of the time, couldn't even do that! Went to Dr, and he tried me on lexapro, effexor, and prozac, horrible 3 months of my life with all the side effects! Finally decided myself to go back on paxil! Within a months time I'm back to working 2 jobs, my family is more happy, I AM WAY LESS STRESSED, and the anxiety is 3/4 gone!!!! Please if anyone fighting with stress and anxiety or panic take the paxil!!! I did great for me both times"


"I have suffered for a year with severe gastro problems that landed me in the emergency room 3 times and a ride in the ambulance.  This medicine is a miracle but can cause severe diarrhea (like stay close to the bathroom and don't leave your house till you adjust).  It is a miracle medication and has greatly improved the quality of my life."


"I have taken many antidepressants as an adult and since I have been on this one I have not been depressed.  We all know what it feels like to not go on. I have no side effects. I feel healthy and normal. I wake up every day no matter what struggles and I have not felt "down," like depressing down in over a year.  I love it.  I also take Klonopin for my anxiety on the side.  I don't need as much though.  Viibryd works wonders!"


"Plaquenil has given me back my quality of life. I think I've been on it for about 3 years now.  However, I've recently stopped taking it as I am having flashes in one eye and don't have the money to see a retina specialist - or an eye Dr. for that matter.  Now that I have stopped the medication, I am back to having constant pain throughout my body - especially in my joints...and in my bones, and I am exhausted and sleep a lot without feeling rested.  As soon as I get my eyes checked and if my exam shows good results, I will be back on Plaquenil immediately."


"After my second baby I had an increase in hormonal migraines and tension headaches and my neurologist put me on topomax starting @ 25 per night until I got a final dose of 100mg split between am /pm.

 Initially I noticed a lot of tingling in hands, feet & face,  in week 2 a very tense jaw, I still feel like myself, but I feel more tired. I dont need to nap or anything during the day but at night i have NO trouble sleeping .All of the pain in my head disappered I thought it was amazing but I did get 2 hormonal headaches (not migraine strength) all in all not bad. I eat a dinner meal only and drink water all day long this med just makes me not want food. Weightloss:10kgs in 3 months.. I have no depression just tiredness its not fixed by naps"


"Took 5mg/day for 2 years.  Very effective at first but began having issues with weakness, joint pain, vision problems.  At one point I was limping with nearly every joint aching, and severe problems with eye dryness and ended up with a corneal ulcer.   It all led up to an ER visit when my BP spiked and pulse raced.   Stopping the medication resulted in the return of my high BP, but all my symptoms went away after about 2 weeks.   Doctors never even connected the lisinopril with the symptoms.  Blood tests showed nothing, but my inflammation numbers had skyrocketed, which meant high risk for heart attack.

Its a dangerous drug for me, never touching it again."


"I have major depressive disorder. I was put on Lexapro, the side effects were unbearable. I got switched to Prozac dosage got switched for a couple of months and then got put on sertraline, became suicidal. I gave up for a year on medications and tried exercising but still had bad depression and was tired but couldn't sleep at all. Now, I've been on Pristiq for 9 days and some days I'm in amazing moods and some I'm really quiet and still have trouble sleeping but these reviews help me not want to give up yet. Thank you!"


"Pros- fast onset, felt it in just a few days. Works well for anxiety/depression. I no longer obsessively worry. No weight gain, decreased appetite (fabulous) Cons- Constant head/neck/shoulder/lower back pain, can't sleep a full night without waking up at least 5 times (really frustrating), decreased interest and ability to have sex. I have tried all the SSRIs and this will be the last one before I give up on SSRIs all together. Will probably have to take Remeron to sleep, I didn't really want to be on 2 meds but I need to sleep!!!"


"Was prescribed to alleviate anxiety and depression. Both conditions have improved dramatically. No side effects."


"Lutera has been great. Keep in mind if you're switching, it takes several months for your body to get used to this lower dose hormone. After a few months, my sex drive came back and I lost 6 pounds. I love this pill. I had been on about 5 different regular dose pills before and they all made me so sick. I have no negative side effects. It does take a few months for your period to adjust, so be patient!"


"For YEARS, I've been scared about getting an IUD.  I have sensitivities to metals and plastics. I've been talking birth control pills for close to 15 years. I'm 32 with no children and started getting migraines with aura because of birth control pills. I reluctantly made the decision to get skyla. The measuring and insertion is the most excruciating pain I've ever felt however it was maybe 30 seconds for each. Afterwards I had some pressure and an uncomfortable feeling inside my vagina. Also, felt like I needed to poop something out for an hour but....that was it. Totally worth it so far."


"I've been taking Belviq for 9 days now, it is amazing. I feel great and it has suppressed my appetite. It has really changed my eating behavior and the most amazing part is I haven't missed it. I'm not one for dieting but I've lost 8lbs and counting. Good luck."


"Dizziness, tiredness, runny nose, sore throat, cough, diarrhea, generally feel bad."


"This is the best medicine for energy that I have ever taken! I get 6-8 hours of sleep when I sleep. Then I get up and take my morning provigal and I can finally concentrate on work for at least 2 hours at a time.. I have ADD/ and depression it helps with both.
 This medicine is the best :)"


"Worked wonder within days for my severe ocd."


"I have had my nexplanon for about four months now and I am so happy I got this! The insertion was bearable and I got some breakouts the first week or so but it wasn't too bad. So far my period has been pretty much regular, I  have a lighter flow which is great and I get fewer cramps. It still lasts about 5-6 days but I'm not complaining. I haven't had any spotting in between periods. Also, I never had a history of having headaches but after getting it I do get a few headaches here and there that last 5 minutes but nothing bad. I was nervous because of all these bad reviews, everyone is different but just give it a try, please. So far I am really happy I got it and it could work out for you like it did for me!"


"I started experiencing severe tremors as a side effect of other meds. At first I could not brush my teeth, then I had problems typing, next I could not feed myself or even hold a cup of coffee, finally I had bouts of tremors so bad that I could not even walk.

I finally ended up seeing a neurologist who once he saw the problem and the severity he immediately prescribed Inderal. Within a week virtually all of my tremors had stopped and I was immensely relieved.

I experienced no side effects at all.

I have been on them for 7 years now and I only slightly shake if get really tired or drink too much coffee.

All in all - I would highly recommend this medication for anyone with severe tremors."


"I was told by my provider this was a great option since I'm horrible with taking pills, I wanted to lose weight, and I didn't want a period, so I got it. I've been on it 1.5 months and I havent stopped bleeding for 12 days, today HUGE clots started coming out and the cramps? Omg they're terrible. I've been so deppressed, and have had no sex drive. I will never use this form of birth control again! I've been eating paleo for a week and am pretty sure I'm heavier then when I ate junk food! I do not recommend at all!"


"This medication did not work for me, but my husband and I are happy I be expecting TWINS!  I went off birth control in early September with a plan to use condoms. We ended up not using any protection at a time when I thought I was ovulating so I took Plan B within about 12 hours. I had what I thought was my period about five days early and assumed it was due to taking the Plan B. Six weeks later, I found out I'm pregnant!  I think this didn't work for me because I was ovulating and must have already had an egg available that was fertilized before I took the medication."


"6 weeks in and I've seen some great results! Started on 86kgs now down to 79.9 kgs.
Here are some great pointers for ppl to use.
1. An eating plan is very important
2. Regular exercise that keeps your hearts pumping at least 3 times a week.
3. Don't inject more than 1.2ml otherwise it makes you hurl literally, and won't be able  to keep food down.
4. Have one day off a week with no injection
5. Have your cheat meal the day you don't inject, otherwise it makes you feel sick."


"Post abdominal hysterectomy with anterior and posterior repairs and bladder lift. I was prescribed toradol 10mg scheduled every 6 hours with tylenol 3 every 4-6 as needed.   As long as I don't go any longer than those minimum times I do okay with about a 4 pain level.  I haven't been pain free yet but I guess that's to be expected.....tylenol 3 has worked ok but does start to wear off towards the end of the 4 hours. I must wait....it is a shame though that there is so much abuse of narcotic strength drugs like norco...they are extremely effective for post surgical pain....they are very addictive and Drs don't even like prescribing them much anymore"


"After taking this medicine for a week or two I experienced numbness (lack of blood flow) to my fingers. Usually one or two fingers. Also happens with my toes. I have really high blood pressure and it does lower it but the numbness which usually lasts about 30 minutes, but returns throughout the day, is scary.

  Also it gives me terrible nightmares, very  violent. I'll wake up wondering how I could even have such terrible dreams.  It also makes me tired. I've stopped it several times and each time the bad symptoms go away completely in about 2 days.  I'm going to have to stop taking it for good, the nightmares are just too terrible."


"Amitriptyline has helped me tremendously. I take 100mg at bedtime and I get a full relaxed sleep and my anxiety and stress does not bother me anymore. I'm calm and happy. It's a miracle drug!"


"My son who has tried almost every available expensive medication from retin-a to antibiotics with not much success finally the dermatologist said we were out of options and Absorbica would be the answer and he was right after 5 months of terribly cracked lips, dry skin and a fair amount of muscle pain the results are beyond amazing while it wasn't a complete no acne ever kind of result it he does get an occasional breakout but it's one or two pimples they are very small and disappear rapidly. Regardless of the expense it was well worth the results."


"I suffer from OCD and intrusive/compulsive thoughts that create almost unbearable anxiety. In Oct '11, I was prescribed Zoloft and found it to work incredibly. On 100mg, my OCD is 85-90% gone, and I can easily rationalize and even blow off my intrusive/compulsive thoughts about 95% of the time. I felt better within a week, but it did take 3-4 weeks for me to notice its full effect. I'd describe the feeling it gives as light, airy and happy/drifty. I haven't experienced any side effects, and haven't gained any weight. On a side note, I also found that one huge factor contributing to my anxiety is too much caffeine, even when taking Zoloft (I still have one cup of coffee to wake up in the morning, but I've found that's my strict limit)."


"The liquid generally sticks at the end of the vial, so you have to "flick" at it to push it towards the tip before twisting off the cap.  Xiidra leaves a bitter taste in my mouth for a good 30 mins. It causes watery eyes for about the same time too.  2 times every 12 hours can be a pain. Some days I forget and end up doing it once every 24 hours. It's been 4 months now and it's help a little bit. Won't know for sure if my dry eyes are "cured" after 12 months of use. We'll see when I get off it."


"This was a horrible experience. I’ve been on Ortho tri-cyclen lo before as well since I was 16. I’m 24 now and I was on lolo for 4 months before I stopped because I literally lost at least 40% of my hair!!! It made me really depressed and caused several panic attacks a week. The only thing it was good at was not getting me pregnant. It didn’t even help my periods."


"This is a fast acting medication. It is easy to travel with and store."


"For me, Vyvanse has the "smoothest" feeling of the ADHD medicines I have tried. I have found that Concerta (methylphenidate) and Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) create an anxious feeling. Vyvanse does not make me feel this way. Downside: it can be outrageously expensive."


"I have severe sciatica as a result of cyst on L5.  Epidural failed, gave relief for a week before pain returned, and I am headed toward surgery to remove the cyst. I have found aspirin works better than Aleve (2 every 8 hours or 3 every 12 hours per my doc is OK)  , Advil and Tylenol, 10 MG Norco and Gabapentin although I am stepping up bit by bit to a full dose of gabapentin and maybe eventually that will help. On a scale of 1-10 my pain is a 10 and the aspirin will cut it down to a 3-4 for a couple of hours."


"This drug should not be prescribed for more than two weeks (and this has been known since the eighties).  Most Doctors in the USA don't have a clue about what benzos do to the lives of the patients they are prescribing to, and especially how difficult it is for patients to withdraw from these drugs.

I was completely dependent on clonazepam after 30 days, and remained on it for about eight years, before I realized I had to get off of clonazepam, if I wanted a chance to become healthy again.  It took me 7 horrifying months to taper off, and I became disabled during that time.  I lost about 85% of my long and short term memory during that time.  I am educated, but I did not research this drug before I took it.  Please don't make that mistake."


"Aleve heavily advertised for 12 hour pain relief.  Also recommended by a friend.  Tried as desperate for all day pain relief from sciatic nerve.  No effect whatsoever, persevered for a week, no relief, even with recommended stretching."


"The new form interferon in the pegalated version is very effective in the cases of hepatitis C, genome type 2.  I had count of 118 million per sample when I started the treatment of both the Pegasus and Copegus.  After 2 months of treatment, I was told I was RNA negative as far that blood tests went.  I am in the 6th and final month of treatment, still RNA negative.  The truth will be 6 months after treatment, when my doctors will take a more definitive blood test.  Overall, this medicine, even though it has some manageable side-effects, is in my opinion worth of the rating I have given it."


"I took this medication for about 2 weeks hoping it would help my hypo mania . Some members of my family said it helped them. NOPE! Complete DISASTER for me. I could not stay on this thing for a month! The loss of appetite really sucked but I expected that I thought maybe I could look past that. But l went from 120 to 117 in 5  days. It did not help my mood it only made me dizzy and gave me uncontrollable jerky movements. I was forgetting words. I could not concentrate in school (senior in high school) Everything felt like a dream. I basically became really stupid.  I was seeing flashing lights. It was bad. Once I got off of it everything I felt much smarter and better. I had many adverse effects to this medication."


"This is the only medication that actually works when you have severe symptoms. I need this medication and the new non Psuedoephedrine replacement is practically worthless compared to Advil."


"I have been on this birth control for 11 months now. At first I experienced moodiness and being over-emotional, and I still do sometimes whenever I start my new pack. However, my periods are so much lighter and only last from Wednesday to Sunday. Coming from somewhere who has had nightmare periods (such heavy bleeding that I would miss school) this is a great plus. My skin has also cleared up tremendously. I had my face under control but I would always get back acne, and I don't break out on my back anymore. I have also gone up two cup sizes and I'm definitely not complaining. Also, it does its job on preventing pregnancy!"


"it was okay"


"Anaphylaxis reaction. Hives first dose. Hives and throat closed upon second dose."


"Gives you a nice undisturbed sleep and has a kind of heavy, foggy side effect that comes over you after you have taken it. I woke up the next morning though and I felt really, really depressed. I do have a history of depression so not even sure if this should have been prescribed to me but it is useful for relief of insomnia. However I prefer diazepam."


"No side affects.
Lowers my A1C
Take it with Victoza.
Do not have to use Humalog anymore.
Highly recommend it, but it is expensive, the only downfall, and when I first started taking it the places I went to get it filled said I was the very first person to use this."


"I was put on this so called pain medication 2 days ago. I have dealt with the hot flashes, which was no fun. Today , I'm breaking out all over my body, having serious diarrhea , and had to take Zofran from puking.  I felt I was out in left field somewhere roaming around when I was on it and did not like the feeling. "


"EXPENSIVE at over $800 for a 30 day supply. Experienced diarrhea often taking 2 out of the recommended 3 pills a day. Lowered my Uric acid from 11.5 to 10.8. Brought my phosphorus levels down very well."


"So woke up sunday morning with a little blister. Instantly took 4x500mg Valtrex. Unlike the rest of the users on the previous reviews, mine did get bigger and did multiply. It is now Tuesday. It didn't get as big as it would get without the valtrex but still up there and not scabbing yet. So its either I'm not lucky like the rest of the users or they are making it up."


"I have been taking fluoxetine for 3 months to treat sexual obsessive compulsive disorder and I felt 100%. There has been no thoughts of wanting to be a women. I can think and feel that it is the best medicine I have ever tried."


"About 4 1/2 years ago I had surgery to remove a corpus luteum cyst and another cyst that burst. Since then I have been on Sprintec with no other cyst relates problems. I have no mood swings, nausea, depression... basically no negative side effects except from a little weight gain. I can't complain about that."


"This has worked wonders for me. I have been on it for just two weeks and it's amazing how different I felt by day 2. I was suffering with severe depression after a miscarriage and subsequent breakup and I couldn't dig myself out of a hole. I was dealing with that plus anxiety. I did experience an increase in my anxiety when the daily 150mg of Wellbutrin started to kick in so I started taking half of a .5mg of Xanax for a few days and now that feeling is gone.

I still get sad but I haven't cried since I started the medication and being in a better mood is very motivating and makes me feel really good."


"It helped me I almost felt normal, but the hot flashes the sweating and I was mean"


"So I bought this product thinking it would cease the itching I'd been having on my vulva. I'd read the directions n applied the death egg and external cream. The burning is so bad I'm sitting here naked after removing most of the external cream on my way to the shower so I can wash it off. Very painful and I'll be going to a urgent care facility since today's Saturday"


"I started using Saxenda about a month ago - doing the increments in doses to this week at 2.4 so not quite 3 yet. First few weeks no side effects yay! Then last Thursday feeling nausea with extreme  ( double you over) pain so left work & hardly made it home & explosive diarrhea - left me drained, naused & sick the whole next day. Everyday since then extreme nausea & I'll feeling coming waves. Started at 259 lbs- down to 253. The I'll feeling just won't go away I think I might stop for a few days & see how I feel. I tried every diet, hcg too & now these awful side effects. So disappointed  "


"I have tried Abilify, Seroquel, and Saphris and this is by far the best medication I've been on. I did have a good experience with Seroquel until I got sick, but I would sleep through a hurricane which was bad for my work. I went two years after I got sick not feeling like myself. TWO YEARS. No real joy, no passion, no libido, nothing. Also my anxiety was out of control and I was beginning to use a lot of Ativan. Then, my psychiatrist was unavailable so I saw his PA and he put me on Vraylar. I don't know if this is even possible but I swear I began to feel better in a matter of days. It was incredible. My anxiety was the first symptom I noticed began to improve, then I started to notice the "pep in my step" improve. I'm happy again!"


"I've had this since Jan 4th, 2017. It's been almost four months, I've had two periods that have lasted me three weeks. That is the only downside. I've been on many of other birth controls, this is the only one that I have not had any major depression on. I feel completely normal. I've lost 20 pounds since, it's been easier to lose weight as I work out!

I've now recently developed some really bad headaches here and there, I'm not sure if it's from the implant or something in my life.

I recommend, procedure very easy and fast!"


"I was on 20 mg Latuda with 300 mg Lithium. It was the most normal I have felt in a while. For me it has being weight neutral in comparison with Zyprexa. Zyprexa made me gain 5 pounds per day & 80 pounds in a few days. Latuda gave me more energy to work out. Naturally, if I don't take meds I don't even have to work out & have a fast metabolism & loose weight easily. With meds I need to exercise. However, the main difference is that with Zyprexa I would exercise 5 times per week, 2 hours per day, eat healthy & still gain a ton of weight. Latuda helps me maintain healthy weight. Unfortunately, my doctor for some reason decided to increase my Latuda doze to 40 mg. I am now having muscle spasm, around my eyes."


"Clomipramine began improving my OCD symptoms within a couple of weeks and seems to have all but eliminated my intrusive, repletetive thinking at this point.  I still have off-days from time to time, but my therapist and doc both agree that's to be expected.  This stuff has taken me from not being able to function to getting back to my life.  The only downside is I have experienced some difficulty reaching orgasm.  Not every time, but from time to time.  Erections are fine and libido is actually increased - due to just feeling so much better.  All in all that's a small price to pay for what feels like a restoration of my basic sanity."


"Wellbuetrin (get off the couch). Zoloft (be happy). Pristiq (be happier). Xanax (chill out). Adderall (get 'er done, efficiently). Dexilant (ulcer, of course).  Lisinopril (blood pressure).  Up. Down. Up. Down.  and then....because I felt so awful and helpless, pain pills.  I'm a smart girl.  I understand the epidemic and the risk of addiction, but didn't care.  Went into new Dr. (one that finally didn't just take out a prescription pad and ask me "what do you want?", but asked questions to better understand me.  The plan?  To taper off a ton of these drugs (not cold turkey), and prescribed Lamictal.  Game changer.  Less meds for liver.  More money in my pocket.  More genuine calmness and happiness. Seriously, game changer"


"Had my hand crushed in a machine at work with a total of 15 breaks in my right hand. Was originally on 5/325 Percocet with limited relief. Doc switched me to this today and can already tell the big difference. I can actually function somewhat normal and continue physical therapy."


"Honestly, every woman is different, I am currently 17 years old and I inserted Implanon when I was 15 and so far all I have to say is just try it. Its easy to forget you have it and it protects you 100%! I did have much side effects, such as: heavy bleeding, horrible menstrual cramps, and low sex drive, but in all honestly every woman is different. Try it, it works and its an amazing option of birth control."


"I got some because I was taking a vacation in the German/Austrian Alps and needed something to keep me from being nauseated.  Got the 1.5 milligram patch, put it behind my ear, and was amazed at how it changed my Parkinson symptoms.  Before the patch I had to use a walker (rollator) and a cane and I noticed I was not as off balance as I usually am and attributed it to the patch.  Came home and talked to my doctor about how I felt and he decided to put me on it long term, but to watch carefullly for side effects. I am walking thru my house now without any assistance but do take the rollator outside because I have 2 very energetic dogs and am afraid they may knock me over."


"This was the worst antibiotic I have ever been on. First day taking it I was so dizzy and so sick I fell off my chair at work. Throughout the week I took it, I felt dizzy, sick, severe headaches, light headed and exhausted, I had the worst taste in my mouth which I used to wake up in the middle of the night with and drinking water just didn't cut it so had to keep a big glass of orange cordial near me. I also for the first few days of it had terrible Cold and Flu symptoms which was an additional pain in the ass. Went out one night with my friends and didn't drink alcohol as was told not to so said I would have just 2 RedBulls to keep me awake and woke up the next day with what seemed to be like the most HORRIFIC hangover."


"Oh my...so first off I'm 20 and I've had two yeast infections before and I've used monistat 1 before and had immediate great results but this time is awful!! I was just in the bath for two hours trying to calm down. I'm pretty sure I have the most patient husband in the world because I wouldn't want to deal with me right now. Save yourself the agony and GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!! On the couch crying now"


"Wonderful drug for depression with no weight gain.

Had been on it for 12 months and then decided to wean off it - after 18 months it came back (I have suffered from depression since I was 6)

 Have now been back on it for 3 months and feel "normal" again and motivated.

I have never been suicidal but I do lose interest in everything and lose my creativity.

Sex drive at times is non existent but I force myself to masturbate (Yes - I am single) because if I don`t masturbate I get an awful ache in my testis so masturbating even just twice a day helps and also I was told it may prevent prostate cancer. To be honest though if losing my sex drive is the worst of it then I don`t care as I`m enjoying life again"


"Horrible effects; insomnia, muscle spasm, heart pain, facial pain, skin rashes and acne, low body temperatutre<97 F"


"I posted last week after I took plan b, I promised I would write my experience if it worked and it did. Took the one called "take action" 26 hours after the "incident". Was absolutely terrified because I'm extremely fertile and it was on the day I normally ovulate, and I have never waited that long for the morning after pill so I was extra nervous about getting pregnant. My side effects were absolutely horrible and they are so similar to actually being pregnant it's insane. I was fine the first couple days, just makes my head feel weird and I get emotional, but days after I was super dizzy and nauseas. I started 2 days early and it's pretty bad, but better than being pregnant. Try to relax, pretty sure it works."


"I have been getting excruciating migraine headaches since about age ten. I've been on such a long list of medicines that I can't even begin it. I ended up popping Motrin 800mg tablets like they were tic tacs and holding on for three days. Relpax has changed my life, but the price is killing me."


"First and only birth control I've been on. Doctor recommended due to minimal side effects. She stated it is supposed to be a chewable pill but that it could be also be swallowed. (So that's what I've done) I had light regular period before I got on it. Now I randomly get a period maybe every 2 or 3 months."


"I've had my Nexplanon for about 3 weeks no side effects by far, I'm waiting for my period to start to see how long it'll last. Other then that so far I love it. Only thing is the bruising is still here, but going away little by little."


"I've been on this pill since 2008 so about 8 years now. I've never had a pregnancy scare, never any horrible side effects, and helped control my cramps and period. I love it."


"After taking anti-psychotic medications for 9 years and trying just about every single one of
them, I have finally found one that is working for me, at this point in my life. I started this medication
(Abilify) nearly 4 months ago and the positive changes I’ve seen in my life make me so happy. I have
lost almost 30 pounds within these last several months, I have been more active with my children, and I
actually get off the couch and walk and enjoy life. I’ve been involved with my “FitBit” challenges which I
would’ve never attempted to even think about doing before. My manic episodes are very rare and less
erratic. Before when I would be on a anti-psychotic
medication I would feel like I was in a “zombie mode” barely functioning day by day.
The only downfall I have with this medication (Abilify), which is a side effect, is if I get up to
quickly I get dizzy and just collapse. Now I’m at a plateau with my weight, but I’m not gaining weight
either. I give this Anti-Psychotic Medication a 9 out of 10."


"I had a bacterial infection from sleeping in  contact lens and allergies mixed. I woke up Sunday morning my eye were only red, by the end of the day it was swollen, running and mucus was coming out (yuck) I went to the eye doctor on Monday he gave me the Zylet drops and they are working just fine. I take 1 drop every 4 hours. The swelling is gone but I do have a dark ring around my eye from where the swelling was and the redness is leaving.The only side effects I have are headaches (which started the 2ND day)and heart rate is sped up a little. Go in tomorrow for a checkup. I hope this review helps."


"This is my second time on this. First time irregular spotting or bleeding per say for a good month after that I never had a period again. Now it's been a few years off of it I'm back on it first month no period and now it's been a week of light spotting dark to light back n forth. I been wanting to have intercourse with my man but it's definitely not going to happen just yet so I'm pissed that I have to wait this out. If the results aren't the same as before I'm calling it quits but the positive is my breasts are fuller and perkier but the acne is horrible! Help us all."


"This is the worst birth control, but it does protect against pregnancy very well. I've had this in for 8 months and I'm still on my period. It doesn't go away. My OBGYN even put me on more birth control, which didn't help AT ALL. I have crazy mood swings, depression, and I cry for no reason all the time. I didn't even think about it being a side effect from this until my boyfriend told me I'm always getting mad, and that's not like me. I can't wait to get it removed and go on with my life!"


"I got it on April 2nd 2015, and I don't know what to think. It hurt and was bruised for the first week after I got it inserted ( which is normal ).  I weighted 115lbs when I got it, and now I'm 125lbs. 10 lbs! No big deal right, but it's been ONE month. Gaining weight is making me depressed, and no matter how much I want to work out I constantly feel tired and lazy. As far as mood swings I have them real bad. For the entire first month I snapped and yelled at everyone, and would go from yelling to crying to complaining. I hope my body goes back to normal because I can't take it. When it comes to bleeding, I have spotted through an entire month, and while I'm on my period, one day it's heavy, the next it's almost not there at all."


"I've been taking Zoloft for maybe 2 months now.  I've gradually gotten up to 200mg and notice a big change in my mood, after Lexapro wasn't cutting it anymore.  I have severe depression and I notice a big improvement.  So far, not many side effects besides fidgeting, I can't sit still for the life of me.  I've also noticed that if I miss a dose of Lexapro, I didn't feel much different.  If I miss a dose of Zoloft, I become horribly agitated.  When I sleep that night, I have horribly vivid nightmares and cold sweats all throughout the night and rarely sleep.  I have also noticed a bit of decreased appetite and energy.  Overall, so far I'm very happy with the results and hope I can continue on this path."


"I tried various other anti-depressants. I have severe depression, which runs in my family. Wellbutrin works well for me.  The only noticeable side effects have been twitching, and some sleeplessness. It is expensive though. The generic was just terrible. Gave aching, even more twitching, tiredness, lack of concentration, etc. I would not recommend the generic as many other people had similar complaints. I do recommend Wellbutrin SR NON-GENERIC, especially if you have insurance."


"I have been taking Avapro for more years than I care to remember.  It did not do the trick in lowering my blood pressure alone so a diuretic was added to the mix.  I get so tired I can hardly stand to stay awake. I am so lazy, I don't feel like doing anything and I don't even care.   I started researching and found this site, perhaps this tiredness is from Avapro.  I will talk to my doctor."


"I had been on Lutera for more than a year with no side effects or issues to speak of.  My pharmacy switched me without notice to Orsythia, and my biggest complaint (after less than three weeks of use) is that I'm now experiencing deep, painful breakouts around my chin, which I'm attributing to Orsythia since it has been the only thing in my routine that's changed.  Needless to say, I've already met with my gyn and will be switching to a new pill as soon as this pack's done."


"I'm currently taking Vicoprofen after having dental work done. This has by far been the best pain relieving medication I've taken other than Vicodin. The reason I'm taking this is I also have liver disease and I can't take Vicodin due to the Acetoaminophen in it. Vicoprofen actually produces less sedation and lethargy than Vicodin with me. I am able to still fully function, though I don't drive on them just in case."


"I LOVE GIANVI! No mood swings, no weight gain, it's helped my acne, it controls my appetite, and my breasts have actually gotten bigger. I have been on and off of Gianvi for three years now (I tried different birth controls here and there but I always come back to Gianvi because it has always been the best for me) and it's absolutely free! I definitely recommend it, but like always, everyone is different."


"So far I'm happy with the Lexapro I had the yawning, drowsy in the afternoons one night consisted of the jitters but half a 5mg valium had me soon settled, and so far only needed it the once. I still don't have much of an appetite at the moment so that's the worst of it all so far fingers crossed it stays that way. I have noticed my anxiety getting better slowly it's only been 1 week on 5mg I don't want to get my hopes up but I guess that's my anxiety way of thinking kicking in."


"I've only been on Contrave for four days, but I am already seeing results.  I was only a little dizzy for an hour or so after the first dose - haven't felt any dizziness since then.  No trouble sleeping, no constipation, no nausea, but I can tell that my mood is calmer and a bit more upbeat, and I simply don't have the urge to eat till I'm full.  I am moderately hungry at meal time, but am easily satisfied with smaller portions.  I just don't have any trouble saying NO to even the most tempting food.  Oh, and I've already lost six pounds."


"I have been in hospital for 3 weeks now.  It started out as obstructive jaundice, which they put in a stint and started me on Vidocin.  The vicodin worked great for my abdominal pain, but did nothing for the spasms I started getting in my back after being in the hospital bed for over 2 weeks.  Finally, after 2 days of intensely painful and nearly uncontrolable back spasms, they put me on Flexeril.  I'm finally able to move around and breath normally without triggering more spasms.  Thank God for Flexeril.  The pain is nearly gone.  It didn't shut it out entrirely, but it made it bearable enough that I'm finally able to move, instead of having to stay perfectly still and take shallow breaths to avoid triggering another one."


"Took the pill and had the opposite effect. Experienced back ache,  tightness and aching in the chest and jaw. Not the medicine for me as I am obviously allergic to it."


"Every time i get a UTI they put me on Bactrim and it doesn't help at all. Then they will put me on Cipro and it gets the job done. So now I tell the doctor I want Cipro for a UTI."


"I have had these shots 4 times now.  They say the relief lasts about 6 months, but this last time I was able to go 11 months without a shot.  I am working out every day and playing tennis again.  Love it!"


"After nearly 4 months off of Tramadol (and, yes, the withdrawal was horrible) I've decided to go back on it. I don't take it for pain any longer; I take it for the brighter outlook it gives me as well as the anti-anxiety benefits.

Like some other users, I've been on many antidepressants over the years but nothing really seemed to work so I'm off of all of the so-called FDA-approved meds. Tramadol isn't cheap ('cause I don't have a prescription and can't imagine getting one from my doctor for the reason I take it) but it IS cheaper than a visit to my psychiatrist. It makes my life smoother and I'm simply making the decision to go back to it."


"I went on Accutane twice in my early 20's. It cleared my skin.  I suffered from mild-moderate acne not extreme cystic acne. Afterwards everyone commented on how amazing my skin was. It's an amazing medicine. The only side effect I had was dry lips which I dealt with by buying Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. Accutane has a powerful anti-ageing effect as it wipes out a lot of the photoageing you have suffered up to the point you start taking it. I am now 45 and look 10 years younger. I credit Accutane for the fact that I look so much younger than my years. It is a great medicine."


"Put this on yesterday at 12:00pm on the right side of my hips, and my right leg subsequently felt funny ever since - like it was heavy and cramping, but I had chalked it up to my anxiety disorder playing tricks on me. Then last night while changing my clothes I found a new bruise on that same leg that was giving me trouble. I called my prescriber and yanked the damn thing right off my skin. Leg still feels funny but I have no other symptoms other than that since; but I was very tired, getting cramps, and would get hot flashes on and off.

Needless to say it's still a mystery with what's happening to me, but I've been scared off this BC for good."


"Got this medicine prescribed by my dr but it didn't work for me. I have bronchitis have been taking it now for 9 days and no relief. The only thing it did for me was add a headache to my symptoms I am already feeling like crap was hoping for relief not new problems."


"My boyfriend is in the military and we had sex the day before he left. We aren't planning to have kids soon so I took the pill the day after and I got my period a week later. It works great and I didn't have any side effects."


"I'm 20 and started on Citalopram because I was having seemingly random extreme panic attacks. The first few weeks were a nightmare but once I pushed through I almost completely stabilized. I know experience mild anxiety but nothing that escalates the way it used to and I can control it. Anxiety is awful but if you can put up with those first few weeks then it helps a lot."


"Naltrexone is an opiate blocker/craving reducer. It is not a cure. Everyone on here saying they got violently sick I don't understand why these doctors didn't take the right precautions. If you're  on extended opiates bup, methadone. Your suppose to wait 14 days. For normal opiates Heroin, Oxy ect... your suppose to wait 7-10 days. But everyones body is different so if you were a heavy heroin user you possibly could have to wait 2 weeks or on methadone for years then possibly longer. The reason it makes you so sick is it instantly removes all opiates from your receptors. I've personally been taking the pills for over a month and all it does is "reduce cravings" I still have them just not as often and as bad. Good Luck."


"After having unsuccessfully tried Prozac, I was apprehensive about how effective Citalopram was going to be. It definitely takes a while (for me five weeks) before you notice the benefits, and I had the common side effect of severe nausea for the first few weeks. I don't want to wax lyrical but I can honestly say that it changed my life, I felt that the issues that I experienced which made everything seemingly impossible were no longer such a problem. I started to be able to live a normal life again, and felt a greater sense of control over the way I felt and acted. I would count it as one of the best decisions that I have ever made."


"I had a medical issue, followed by surgery, then severe insomnia.  I took Ambien at first, and it works well, but I started sleep walking with no memory, so I sought another treatment.  Trazodone was next, but after six nights of wicked dreams and a racing heart, I quit Trazodone.  I now take Zaleplon for insomnia and it's the best medicine yet.  Zaleplon gives me 5-6 solid hours of sleep with no wild dreams and no sleep walking."


"Now I'm almost seizure free."


"I had my implanon inserted a little over a month ago and haven't experienced any negative side effects. In fact I've had just the opposite! I have been on the Depo shot for the last three years and was a complete wreck as far as emotions and mood swings go. Since my Implanon insertion my mood swings have calmed A LOT, they haven't completely subsided but they are much less frequent. No bleeding at all still but I haven't had any since I started Depo so I'm not sure if that's related at all. The insertion was quick and painless the only part that hurt was the shot to numb it. There was a nasty bruise but it only lasted about 3-4 days. Other than the bruise itself my arm wasn't sore at all."


"Ive been on this medication for a year now about a month after having a full hysterectomy. Worked the first night I took it. No hot flashes, no mood swings. I feel great and sleep well. I do experience nausea once in a awhile in the morning but that fades fast with a drink of water or cup of coffee. It's very pricey even with a coupon as I pay out of pocket, but it's worth every dime."


"I have had servere psoriasis for 15 years I am now 34 nothing has work apart from u v but the condition soon came back after treatment since being on stelara I have notice a 90% improvement before starting I was 80% covered I could not hardly walk I had thick scales from my neck right down to my ankles since I have been on stelara all I have is a long thin white patch on the inside of my right leg and and I still have some red on both sides of my stomic,i have never felt so healthy or happy blood test always come back clear and I can at last wear shorts and tops with no sleeves with out worrying about what people think"


"I am taking this medicine to treat Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and I have never had a side effect.  I have been taking it for about 5 years in conjunction with Gabapentin.  About six years ago I started having dual episodes, which were new to me as I had only experienced mania or depression.  After a few stays in the hospital and being introduced to Lamictal, I have not had a dual episode, or any episode at all. Lamictal has also stopped 96% of the paranoia feeling that has never gone away."
