"I read hundreds of reviews when I was first prescribed this medication and so many of the were from people having taken it for 3-4 days which doesn't give you a clear indication of how the medication works.

I was advised it would take up to 6 months to see positive results, the side effects were bad to start and lasted around a month but I'm so glad I stuck with it.

I have now been on citalopram for 6 months so can confidently say it has been a miracle for me and has helped me get my life back on track."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"For the first week I was in excruciating pain: nausea, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, sweating, insomnia, confusion, extreme exhaustion and fatigue, battery acid taste in my mouth, etc. I reached out to my doctor and pharmacist who offered absolutely no help. Through research I found that taking probiotics/yogurt helps with EVERYTHING, stay as hydradated as you can. I ate a lot of Ramen noodles to compensate for actual food/water since my appetite was non-existant. I didn't think I was going to be able to finish the treatment. If I test positive again, I'm going with natural remedies."


"It took about a week of daily doses for loratadine to start affecting my allergies, but after that, it was great.  If I stop taking it, symptoms return after 2-3 days.  This is not a short-term fix drug.  Try it at daily for at least 2 weeks before you decide if it works for you."


"They don't work. I take 7.5 mg of percocet for break through pain. I've been in agonizing pain for a year. Possibly having surgery soon. Any suggestions to talk to my dr about . This is horrible with no quality of life."


"Yes, after a little while it burns...and if it drips down to your butt when your lying down that will burn, too. HOWEVER,  it goes away within a few hours, AND IT'S BETTER THAN THE ITCH that came from the infection. Some comes out when you go pee if you put it in in the morning. I put it in at 745 am, and it stayed in place (because I made sure it was way up there), but I have a desk job where I frequently get up and walk 20 feet and back, then sit down again. I kept my feet up on a stool or chair while it was burning which gave some relief. It's 24 hours later, and I still have some itching and evidence of an infection. I am not sure when symptoms are supposed to subside. I may take a Diflucan before bed if nurse recommends."


"This was very, very good. I have MDNOS (Mood Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) however, it is likely that I have Bipolar 2 Disorder, and my doctor has used the terms hypomania and major depression to describe elements of my condition. I also experience some anxiety.

I tried Zoloft before, but as many people with Bipolar Disorders know, that can lead to some bad things happening. I had significant side effects and it made me irritable.

When I got to Lamictal, I immediately noticed how much better things were. First, I began to feel less depressed, and I noticed that I had virtually no side effects. I have never even heard of a psych medication with no side effects (for me at least). It worked well for all of my problems."


"Out of the 3 pills I have taken (the others being Microgestin Fe and tri lo sprintec), Trinessa is probably the best. Microgestin caused not only constant constipation and the worst depression I've ever experienced. I switched to Trinessa and these problems lessened within the first month. Trinessa did give me some nasty forehead acne and mood swings, but these also disappeared relatively quickly. My only real complaint is that until the 5th month on it, I would spot for a week straight before my placebo week. My flow was pretty heavy, but no terrible cramps accompanied it."


"Been on this for 3 weeka and sugars great now. Has side effects of tiredness, increased pulse and severe heartburn but all gone now. Lost 5kg first week but nothing since then. Absolutely gutted"


"I've been on it for three weeks & 2 days . I love it . but I still have really bad cramps & I started my period again but just spotting ."


"I only lasted 3 days on this medication. I started becoming itchy all over my body and Benadryl barely helped."


"I was diagnosed with grandmal epilepsy in 2004, have tried alot of different medications over this period and Keppra has always been a constant during this time, with interaction with others
Starting on 250mg bd & after a decade I'm now taking 1000mg bd with 100mg bd of lamotragine.
The main concern is that I'm always tired" mentally and physically,  having to rest quite alot & lack of appetite although I have a feeling that this is due to the combination.
I recently had a Petit Mal seizure and the Neurologist advised that it was due to missing one dose of lamotragine,  although Keppra by itself is a generally peaceful medication.
I have been recently diagnosed with haematomachrosis, iron overload,  although they've advised it's genetic."


"2nd screening colonoscopy. Last one 11 years ago and the prep then was pretty stressful.  This time, it went great. Sipped the 1st dose at 6:00PM, thought it was not working then bam! At 3:00AM the 2nd dose was downed in one tip of the cup. I did notice adding additional water cups with the 1st dose, kept me going for two hours. 2nd dose I stuck to the plan. No side affects others are seeing. No headache, no bloating, no cramping. Just a successful prep with an all clear at procedure time."


"I've been on this about 3 weeks and have had horrible mood swings and terrible acne. I don't think I can take this anymore."


"I am a 65 yr old, female in excellent health except that I have ankle & knee pain . On vacation I, daily, took 500mg Naproxen for 3 weeks due to a mis-step and slight fall. Upon return home, 1 month later I am having extreme hair loss."


"After a tooth infection, I was prescribed these tablets - after 3 tablets I woke up the next morning with an extremely swollen stomach and rolling in paint. Rushed to hospital where they said It was the flagyl causing reaction - the pain was worse than child birth and they hooked me up to IV pain meds! I Had fever, more pain, & severe vomiting later that day that I actually fell to my knees with pain thinking I was dying... Horrendous. I took augmentin duo after that to clear up infection but I was so ill I lost weight so quickly and was very week - I really thought I was dying - I very scary. AVOID like the plague..."


"Before I started taking Xyzal I would get so stuffy at night in bed that I would have gladly had my entire nose and sinuses removed. It was that horrible. I would lock up so tight my ears would pop.  Xyzal has been a miracle for me. No more stuffy nose at night. It works wonderfully. I would give up any of my other medications before I would my Xyzal. I tried all the other allergy medications but none helped. Xyzal is the very best!"


"I smoked 2 packs of Marlboro red for 20 years and 3 packs for an additional 15 years. Thanks to Chantix I quit in under 2 weeks.  Thank you Chantix I can enjoy my family more, coaching my kids more and just enjoying life more"


"I have been using Veltin for about two months now. It works. I use a scrub every morning, moisturizer, then at night I wash with a foaming wash better than previous acne washes I've been using--then the Veltin. Wait an hour and then my moisturizer. Great routine. I got the flu and had to stop my routine because I was too sick and tired, acne returned worse after 2 days. Back on my routine and it is getting better."


"Love it! The hot flashes aren't much fun, but they're worth having no period or pain!"


"One time I experienced something strange I have difficulty of urinating, Its like there something sharp crawling in my urethra its very painful. I felt this for almost 3 days until I cannot tolerate. I have friend, a physician I tell him and he gave me Cefixime 200mg tab. I have 2, he instructed me to take 400mg in a single dose and after few minutes or two the burning sensation is gone and the discharge gradually stop in 2 days."


"Works Great! I will never use anything else.   2nd time on it. Just had my third planned baby and also breastfeeding."


"This is my first experience with birth control and it had been very positive. I did have some bloating and mood swings in the first couple of weeks, but my doctor said it was normal because my body was adjusting to the drug. I used to have horrible acne that nothing would cure, but the pill has cleared almost all of it up. The acne did get worse for me at first, but it takes time to work. I also used to have severe cramping and now I have none."


"I've been on this birth control for almost 5 years and it's definitely done its job. I did gain weight on it. I have this stubborn pouch on my stomach that I can't loose now and it wasn't there before the pill. My periods come every month and last a week. I have no acne, but I'm not sure if that's because of the pill."


"I use this every time allergy season hits. It is awesome."


"I switched to this pill because I was on Sprintec before. It caused weight gain, and I developed several cysts on my breasts after 2 months of taking it. I rate Loestrin 24 Fe average. The Pros for ME: My period comes for only a day or not even at all. Cleared up all the acne on my back and chest, still break out on my face, but that's normal for me. Cons: Reshaped my whole body, my butt/legs grew even bigger which are my problem areas. I gained 30lbs with Sprintec in a span of 6 months, but I took 20lbs of it off in a whole semester. On Loestrin, I'm trying to lose the other 10, and I cannot lose weight (and plus I've gained 5 back). I'm constantly hungry all the time. I'm going to the gyno next week and switching birth controls after using for a year."


"When I started receiving calls from my kindergarteners teacher at least once a week, I couldn't believe it. But after several months of struggling through the seemingly easiest of tasks I decided to take my daughter to counseling. Her counselor and psychiatrist took all of the right steps to diagnose her ADHD, and after 6 weeks of holding on to the prescription, I gave in and started administering the 20mg of Vyvanse. My daughter made a complete turn-around! Happy in the morning, soaring at school, and even sleeping well at night! In a month after starting Vyvanse, she was awarded "student of the month", by the end of school she was "most improved student of the year". My only concern is that she already needs the 30mg dose."


"After one year on Truvada in combination with Prezista and Norvir - the only listed side effect I may be suffering from is insomnia - and I think that has more to do with other factors than with Truvada (I take it at Noon).  After hearing about possible side effects with HIV medicines- it is a pleasant surprise!"


"I love this drug! I started taking it on Aug 20 and am now starting my third month. I have lost 22 pounds!! I am 5'8 and started at 187 lbs and am down to 165 lbs in 9 weeks. I gradually increased my dose and would recommend others to do the same due to some of the side effects.

When I first started I experienced some nausea, complete loss of appetite, headaches and sleepiness. The symptoms did not keep me from living my normal life and they subsided gradually. Some symptoms I now experience are occasional constipation, irritability and insomnia.

I was a daily coffee/wine/beer drinker and rarely drink either now. All I am interested in drinking is water, nothing else is appealing. Food is never the focus of my mind anymore."


"So I have been on the pill for just over a month and have noticed my acne get a bit worse. Other than that, it's all positive. Absolutely no mood swings (if anything it has made me more calm)... zero cramps and lighter period. My boobs have increased at least a full cup size! Will give this a try for at least another 5 months as I have heard that acne can get worse before it gets better :)"


"Took it twice like I was supposed to in the morning And at night and my head feel I was drunk kinda like I kept get dizzy and feeling weird I don't know but I still don't feel right I feel like puking and being sick I want to the doctor and got amoxicillin instead and I don't feel any better and I have a zoo trip tomorrow and it made me feel awful and even worse. I still feel kinds drunk and dizzy and like I may pass out and like I'm scared to fall asleep because i may die"


"I was shocked to find that my "unflavored" (according to my pharmacy) Suprep was a sickly sweet, childhood grape-like flavor that I literally had to gag down. There is nowhere on the packaging nor bottles that indicated this flavoring. I finally found the full ingredients buried on the back of the poster size insert ".. sucralose.. flavoring ingredients.."  I would rather add some Crystal Lite if I want sweet and I can choose my own flavor. Absolutely gross and needless flavoring."


"I took a  seven day 50mg dose to clear up lung congestion used with nebulizer 4 times a day mine cleared right up and felt like I had a new set of lungs , until the next flairup.

It works."


"My partner took Zyban to help him quit smoking.

Yes it did help him to stop BUT the side effects have been horrific.

I WOULD NOT recommend anyone using this.

For the past 5 and a half years he has suffered TERRIBLE mood swings, to the point that he frightens me and there has been a little violence (in the early days).

He has had suicidal thoughts (and still does now occasionally).

Our happy little family unit has almost been destroyed.......we are still together by the grace of God but for how much longer I don't know.

I know his health has probably improved no end due to no longer smoking but his mental health has suffered greatly and sadly I don't know if things will ever improve."


"I cannot overstate how much I despise this medication. It may be effective in getting rid of bladder infections, but I never got that far. I used this medication twice (I gave it a second go, thinking my previous experience might've been an anomaly). Wrong. Within 2 days, each time, I had severe flu-like symptoms. They included: chills, mild fever, muscle aches all over, sharp pains in my stomach, severe nausea, vommitting, pounding headache, & extreme fatigue. I was told to take with a meal and drink lots of water. I felt like I was drinking 2 gallons a day...until I couldn't drink or eat anything without throwing it up. I stopped taking, the second time, after 3 pills, and it took 2 full days (& lots of Tylenol) for my symptoms to subside"


"I've taken so many different meds and this one is the only one that's ever worked for preventing panic attacks from anxiety. Which happen often because I have social anxiety and phobias. I never developed a dependency even after stopping it for a few years when I quit taking my mood stabilizer as well."


"I was considering bariatric surgery, my Dr. asked me to try Contrave first. I started at 277 lbs. I started taking Contrave and reduced my carb intake, and have noticed that with the Contrave my portions have been much smaller and I've not wanted to snack between meals.  Within the first Month I had lost 12 lbs. I did have some dizziness week 4 when I added the 4th daily pill, it only lasted about a week and I've not experienced any side effects since.  I am now 3 months in and 31 lbs down- almost 1/3 away to my goal.  I've added exercise to my routine (3X weekly 40-60 mintues each time) in the last month, and I feel like I have more energy and my joints are less achy.  Would definitely recommend for anyone needing to lose weight."


"I was quite sceptical when taking it at first because I noticed no difference in my skin in months. The whole treatment actually makes your skin and acne worse before it gets better (100% worth it and the only way to cure it). This is completely normal and is just your skin releasing all the horrible greasy toxins to get them out of your system as they cause acne. While on the drug admittedly only the last few months did I see improvement, and I expected instant overnight changes, but in the real world this isn't the case. After I had been discontinued from the drug I was completely cured of my acne a month or so later, with minor scarring which will soon fade!

Couldn't ask for more, it's brilliant"


"While this medicine is no where near as strong Klonopin or Xanax for my anxiety, I have found that taking a 50mg Vistaril does just enough to take the edge off."


"I gotten belviq free trail last year  and I'm glad I did the cost of them are  very expensive my experience with these pills was in minutes got a bad headaches and feeling very tied  yawning a whole lot I wouldn't recommend these pills to no one  "


"23 yrs old and I've never had a YI before, started getting symptoms of one 2 days before I had my wisdom teeth pulled (yesterday) and I guess the anitobiotics made it worse.. it's currently 3:30 am (1 hour after application) the original itching was so bad I went out at 2 am, came home and inserted the cream and instantly I thought I was allergic because of the BURNINGGGGG.  The burning subsided SOME after about 30 mins and now it feels like flame throwing fire ants are crawling in and out of my vagina, omg.. my 5 month old son will be awake soon and I'm in tears with an ice pack between my legs.. I hate Monistat"


"I love this birth control. I've been on this pill for 3 months already and I simply love it. Works in a matter of a week and it really protects you from pregnancy. My boyfriend and I have sex all the time and I always get my period on the first day I take my placebo pills. When I started taking this pill I was 155lbs now I'm 146lbs. I must say losing weight is fantastic. Aviane makes me bloat some days and lose my appetite but the whole point is you won't get pregnant! Love it."


"I got the nexplanon implanted on December 1st 2016. I have had non stop bleeding, when I got it I as 102 now I am 124, I have very bad mood swings, and I'm constantly tired. For the past month or so my stomach has been non stop hurting and causing me to puke. I got on this because my mom insisted I get on birth control and I saw that my cousin had it and it worked for her. She ended up having to get it removed because it moved around too much and hurt. I couldn't do the pill because it made my stomach hurt and I don't like shots. It is now July 5th and I want to get this thing removed. I talked to my doctor about two months ago about this and he said just give it a couple more months. Needless to say I am getting this removed. Do not recomd"


"I have severely cracked fingertips and this tape is the only thing that ever helped.  I got a new Rx for it and now cannot find it anywhere!  I have been searching for three weeks, thought I had it through CVS but received a call today after another week of waiting for it to arrive in the mail that it is unavailable.  My fingertips hurt so much they wake me up at night throbbing. I don't know what has happened with this tape but it was great!"


"I was on lortab 10/500 for 14 years from 2000 until 2014 after having 2 lower back surgeries for chronic pain it worked best for me with the least side effects in 2014 it's like no longer available I'm guessing in fl. Or the U.S  now for 4 months I'm on hydrocodone 10/325  it is not effective at all for me I don't get any relief from it so I'm not as functional I'm in the bed more because of the pain and no relief from the 10/325.  what happen to the Lortab 10/500 ?"


"I received Habitrol 21mg free from NYQUITS. Started it on Feb. 1st. for 14 days. Worked GREAT for me. I then purchased Nicoderm after that and got such SEVERE  rashes  on my arms that I had to go to my doctor to get medications.  He said it was probably the glue from the patch. Now back on Habitrol.  This stuff is the BEST."


"I've just been prescribed these today and Im feeling a little better already I've recently come out of a 6 year relationship not by my choice and I've been really down and having panic attacks which is no good when trying to look after a three year old but I'm feeling a lot less tense and my minds not on overdrive like usual"


"After taking the zosyn for 10 days I could hardly hear.  It has improved somewhat but not like it was prior to taking the medication."


"Started phentermine by my new Dr on 4/1/15, 286 lbs.
Will weigh again in a week but so far I have no food cravings lost most my appetite. Only eat 3 small meals I feel a little nauseous when I think about eating I have tons of energy but when is time for bed I can't sleep. If I knew this pill was so effective I would have started when I was 230lbs don't know why my old Dr never recommend it. I'm really excited & I Promise to keep you posted."


"Recently I have been having VERY bad allergies and went to the doctor. She said that I should try Allegra (not Allegra-D) and that it is available over the counter. I went to the store but could not find any adult 12 hour Allegra. This disappointed me because I knew the 24 hour pills usually don't work. I went ahead and bought the smallest package of pills I could get (5) of the 180mg dosage. I took one and it cleared up my symptoms and made me feel better but that night I woke up after about 4 hours of sleep and could not get back to sleep. I didn't take one the next day as I wanted to get a good nights rest. Yesterday I took another and the same thing happened again. I just want to SLEEP!"


"Take 15 dosage, pain much better. Stomach pain from constipation very bad. "


"My diagnosis Panic Disorder. But I struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD and BPD as well. I've taken tons of medications to deal with my disorders. After being hospitalized for a suicide attempt, I was prescribed Wellbutrin first, which helped with suicidal tendencies. Then I was put on Lamictal (which I would also give a 10 star rating to). It made my anxiety and panic attacks vanish. However, I still felt empty. Like I had no purpose. My doctor finally put me on a low dose of Abilify. It helped, so much. It made a world of a difference in my life. I am SCARED to die now, when before I only wished I'd die. I take 15 mg now and it is amazing. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't had luck with traditional antidepressants."


"I suffer from severe chronic Migraines. At least once a week I have to go in and get a shot. I hate to do it but the pain is so severe that that is the only option right now."


"Started drinking this moviprep at 11pm it's the most disgusting thing I have drank every time I took a sip I felt like throwing up but had no choice taking it so took it in big gulps finished the first litre with in 1.5 hours after 45 mins all hell broke loose went toilet about 10 times it was all watery it's worked absolutely fine but tastes awful I wish I don't have to take the second litre."


"I have been on this medicine on and off for eight months now. I weighed 210lbs when I started and now weigh 163lbs. I have not changed eating habits however food portion and exercise is the key."


"I was having terrible back pain from my degenerative disc disease. I started off taking tramadol(ultram), then they switched me to Percocet. That changed my life. After taking it for a few months I could drive again. Now I can go where I want with little or no pain. I still have pain when shopping, which I hate anyway."


"I have had dizzy spells (vertigo) since 2006. I get them about every other month for a day and it is literally debilitating. I would rather have almost any pain than being dizzy. Yesterday around 5pm after work I started feeling weird ... I didn't take until it was bad around 6:30pm. Don't wait if you can help it. Trick is take it before gets worse. It worked around by about 7:30-8.00 pm I slept the entire night in a sitting up position. This morning I was ok. No effects just tired last night. The Dr told me to also move my head 3 times in a counter clockwise position each hour. You feel a little sick but better after."


"I've had about 4 kidney stones in my life.  All extremely painful.  Spent a couple of days in the hospital for one.  But the last one I had, I was given a shot of Toredol and the pain went away within minutes.   I went back for another shot the next day.  The next day the stone passed. For me, this was a miracle drug."


"I take one a day. It helps me concentrate, and also helps me feel ambitious and less depressed. But when it wears off in the evening, I start feeling sad and easily agitated. I can take up to 2 a day, but I usually only take one, because I don't want it to cause any heart problems."


"I had a stress test done. The medicine does what it says it does. The only side effect I had was a headache. "


"Side effects of injection include very sore arm effectively rendered useless.  Muscle aches and joint pain without relief would not allow me to sleep.  Fatigue and back pain plus headache contributed to an overall miserable night and day.  I don't know how long this will continue, it has been 36 hours.  This vaccine requires at least two days off work and should be accompanied by a good narcotic."


"41 yr old Caucasian female. 115lbs/5' No negative medical history other than mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation. Horrid chest pains and no energy. I can't recall the 1st drug- caused numbness in hands and feet- tingling and cold feelings were horrible. Also, caused extreme tiredness; mixed with the fatigue from the regurgitation made me a rag doll. BYSTOLIC CHANGED MY LIFE. Started me at 10mg- lasted 10 months; now on 20mg for the last 5 months. Pain creeps in faster as I am sure the valve isn't getting any 'better'. Time will bring about the need to change it and my doctor is waiting for Cleveland Clinic to open up new non-intrusive surgeries to patients who do not have life-threatening MVP issues. Side effects are minimal and I HAVE MY LIFE BACK."


"I began taking Pristiq in 2008 as a supplement to Wellbutrin. When I missed  dose I became very ill with flu-like symptoms so severe, I felt it was not safe for me to drive a car. This made me feel as though this drug was not good for me, so I finally took myself off of it in 2015. It took the entire month of July (I stopped Pristiq July 1st and nausea and dizziness did not end until early August- I kept track of my symptoms on a calendar) and as of today, the end of February 2016, my digestion has still not returned to normal. Pristiq was developed by the manufacturer to replace the profits from another popular drug that reached the generic zone. I consider it  "bad drug.""


"When I was on the paragard there was not one day I had zero bleeding. So annoying for 5 months. I have never been depressed but when I was on this I was feeling sadness that I've never had. I was SO irritable it was crazy how fast I could snap. I had extreme pain 2 weeks after they put the IUD in like it felt like I was dying. Got an ultrasound and everything was okay....it was so freaking scary though. I was constantly bloated. Sex was painful like very painful and I had zero sex drive. I was always tired. I think I may have had copper toxicity."


"I've been on Ortho Tri-cyclen 21 for a month and a week. It does not make me moody or depressed and nor did I gain weight. Those were my two biggest concerns before going on birth control. I am taking it for acne and so far it just tamed my big pimples but I still get small little bumps here and there. I spoke to my doctor and I was told I need to wait at least two months to see results in acne. It helped me incredibly in terms of period cramps, I used to faint often on the first day of my period throwing up and diarrhea. But now none of that thanks to Tri-cyclen :) strongly recommend!
beware makes boobs a little sore, not too much."


"Love this pill. I don't even notice I'm on it. My periods are so short and light, sometimes I don't even get them!"


"I used this for about 7-8 months straight before it ran out. I used it once a day on my entire face, since most of my face has acne. It helped prevent breakouts and reduced pimples, but it never actually cleared up my whole face. Now that it's gone I'm going to go find a medication that will actually clear up everything."


"Off and on all my life I've been bothered by Yeast infections and have never found anything better than the Vagistat. Esp. since it's a one time treatment and you're done with it.  BUT also the fact that it's not only beneficial for the Candida strain but also some of the rarer resistant types of yeast that are often missed. It might irritate for that day but it works and well worth it in my opinion. Thanks for letting me have some input.

D.T."


"This medication saved my vision and made my headaches go away. I have the side effects of metallic taste with fizzy drinks and some sexual dysfunction but it doesn't effect my daily life. I take 250mg three times a day."


"I was forced to take Losartan instead of Diovan because my insurance company refuses to pay for brand name drugs.  Really great the insurance co. would rather realize huge profits at the expense of patients' health.  Well, Losartan is terrible for me.  I had no noticeable side effects from Diovan.  But with the Losartan I've had not only hair loss but also very bad tingling down my left arm into my fingers.  My doctor just told me it's carpal tunnel syndrome without any hesitation, but I know it's the Losartan that's causing this condition because I never had it until after starting Losartan.  It also causes me to be tired and lightheaded, both side effects of this medicine."


"I have been on Sprintec for 20 days now and am still bleeding really badly. Super moody, depressed, no sex drive, nausea, weight loss, extremely tired, dizzy. Hoping that my period ends soon, or I will be switching."


"I am new to birth control and was worried about taking a hormonal pill because I'd heard that people can have mood swings or feel depression or gain weight... luckily NOTHING like that has happened to me during my first month. If anything, it actually helped me with my mood swings. I haven't gained any weight and I've noticed improvements in my acne, although it's not completely gone yet. I'm hopeful that within the next few months it will clear up further. The only bad thing that did happen to me was that I got EXTREMELY nauseated and sick on the third day of taking the pill. But I powered through and haven't felt any side effects since. I also was spotting for 2.5 weeks, but no pain."


Vicks Nyquil D Cold and Flu Nighttime Relief

"It helps wonderfully for about 10 minutes then it slowly makes my throat dry."


"For the last month I have been sick,  very restless sleep,  muscle spasm,  vomiting  for several hours with movement after meds have worn off. I had to stop using Xyrem this month because the same faulty batch I got in January,  they shipped  me again  this month... I tried to call and complain about the side effects.  Unfortunately the SDS Pharmacy isn't offering any solutions to fix or solve the issue that a lot more people  are dealing with.... So disgusted  with this company"


"Hey guys .I've decided to post because I've heard so many horror stories about the Paraguard IUD. I've tried Depo, the pill, and even the Nexplanon Implant and they all didn't work due to hormonal side effects.They were all hell.I'm only 20 in college and being miserable is the last thing on my mind due to birth control.The Paraguard IUD was my last option and it has been absolutely amazing.Before any birth control I had a heavy flow, very painful period . With the Paraguard my first two days are the only days I cramp and it's not too bad.My flow is pretty normal I can get away with wearing a regular tampon and it lasts 6 days.I love it because I can predict my period and it is very accurate. No mood swings or anything. AMAZING !"


"So I get on this shot to control my bleeding since I was going on vacation and I didn't want to be on my period while on vacation. I was so crazy to get on this shot because my tubes are tied but my period was out of control so I got on the shot. Why did I do this to myself. I took my first shot on 9/11/15 started bleeding 10/14/15 I kept bleeding so I called the doctor to ask her what to do she said to take 4 ibuprofen pills 3 times a day and it should slow it down... Nope never stopped so I decided to get another shot... What was I thinking doing that... To this day 12/12/15 I'M STILL BLEEDING SINCE 10/14/15 my attitude is thru the roof, my marriage is suffering, I'm depressed cuz I've gained so much weight, I have constant headaches, etc"


"Had a very resistant infection and was prescribed this medication. Went into anaphylactic shock after it stared digesting. Cold and hot sweats, drooling , splotchy skin color , swelling of throat, loss of feeling in left side of my body for 2 days and brief loss of consciousness until ambulance arrived. Just didn't work well with my body."


"Prednisone causes rashes for me."


"I have smoked 2-5 packs a day for over 30 years. I was able to use the Nicotrol inhaler to immediately stop. I tried cold turkey 3 times this year, but found that severe stress made me run back and pick up a pack of smokes. With this inhaler, I have it with me "just in case", so I don't fear and I stay calm. I have been on this for 3 weeks now. However, I only use 1 cartridge a day, which I put in in the morning. Kind of a security blanket. Works for me totally."


"I have been depressed for coming up to 5 years. Pristiq is the first medication I found that worked. I started on 50mg and then started 100mg. I found that I was able to get through the days without falling apart and having constant suicidal thoughts. I have been on pristiq for a few years now and I have always had very vivid dreams on them and if I miss a couple of pills I get very dizzy, nauseas, head aches and get very emotional. I love this antidepressant but I fear for my dependence on it"


"The only medicine that works for a cough. I've tried everything but this works. Use it sparingly so when you need it to relive the cough. It works."


"I have been taking Viibryd for almost a month now.  I feel less lethargic before it was like I had a cloak of darkness  on.  I would literally wake up tired as I did when I went to bed.  I have slowly began to feel better and have more energy.  But the side effects are varied.  I have at least one brain zap per day and very vivid dreams but usually I forget them after I wake up.  I have also had a few bad headaches.  I believe this medicine is helping me but I am hoping the side effects decrease after awhile.  I am giving myself three months to see how my body reacts.  I will follow up my review then."


"My mum has leukemia. This medicine helped her when she wasn't eating."


"This drug contains a MAO inhibitor, be CAREFUL servious side effects from combining with any antidepressants"


"The medicine seems to work well but still bleeding so doc put me on canasa and prednisone seems to work better"


"After one week on contrave with no sign of it beginning to work I woke up with hives,.  A few hours later my whole body was covered with hives and extremely itchy.  Over the counter antihistamine did little to help and I continued to break out .I did not take any more contrave after the first sign of hives. The second day I went to ER for help from the growing whole body rash and frenzied itching. I was given Iv steroids and more antihistamine. It has now been 5 days of hives and I do not think i have peaked yet. Each day it is worse and I do not know when it will start to abate. Horrible Horrible experience"


"Drug was great for one year.  Today afib pops up much more frequently"


"I have been on celexa for a bit over a year to treat my clinical depression which I had for 5 years and general anxiety which I had for 3, and it has literally saved my life. I started with 5mg and worked up to 40mg, and I've never felt better than I do after being on celexa. It's helped me so much, I can finally live and enjoy my life  again"


"For starters,  I have absolutely NO PAIN TOLERANCE so this experience did make me cry.  But even my own period cramps make me cry.
The whole procedure was reasonable, it was processed as like getting a check up, they open you up, give a numbing shot, then they open up your cervix opening which automatically makes you have a cramp.  Depending on your cervix size,  you may have one mild cramp or several as they stretch the opening. My cervix was measured and scoped with a camera for depth of where the Kyleena should be placed properly.  Then comes the fun part. You'll have a multitude of various cramp intensity of various pressures as the IUD is placed. Everyone has different experiences. The pain subsides fast and I felt nothing all night."


"I had the mirena inserted last Thursday 6/11/15. I took ibuprofen 1hr before. The cramp on insertion was not as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe the ibuprofen worked. The cramping has stopped but I still continue to spot. Other than spotting so far so good. Before mirena I was on the depo. I gained 20 lbs and what was suppose to help my bleeding only cause me more trouble. Depo caused me to have no period for 6 wks then I would spot the next 6 weeks until next injection. I really hope the mirena works out. Also with depo I had large clots. No clots so far since the mirena"


"Here is  my experience i had cheated on my bf ( I know totally stuffed up) but I'm  human ... I cheated with an ex I knew I was ovulating  so I told myself  nope go get the plan b. I went to walgreens I seen the plan b it was  expensive  so i went with  Take action. I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY  3HRS AFTER THE DEED  WAS DONE. Now 4 weeks I'm pregnant  "


"I got the nexplanon exactly a week ago 4/14/16 and I know it's only been a week but I absolutely love it so far. I had my period for 4 days and then it went away.. I have no signs of bleeding. My sex drive is definitely still there and I've lost 6.5 lbs since then. Before the implantation I was so moody and bitchy and now I'm so happy and want to get out more. I'll definitely write another review in a year. Since it has only been 1 week."


"To anyone thinking about the getting the Mirena.... expect to bleed for weeks afterwards but don't be worried. I've had mine for 3 years now and haven't had a period in 2 years. I've spotted once or twice but my periods weren't bad in the first place. Everyone's different. The insertion was PAINFUL and at first I bleed for 4-6 weeks with bad cramps. It was horrible but I'm glad I stuck it out. The piece of mind I get from such an effective birth control was worth the rough beginning."


"I began taking Celexa during detox for addiction to prescription medication. I honestly thought I would never smile or laugh again - but after about 4 weeks, the fog I was living in lifted and I felt better than ever!  This was the second time went through detox and after the first time, I used Celexa - and once I began feeling good. Unfortunately I stopped and relapsed. Stopping Celexa without tapering was the equivalent to hitting a wall of great sadness.
I have been clean and sober for over 90 days and I believe Celexa plays a huge role in my decision making process."


"I have only been taking Contrave for 3 weeks. I have felt a little nauseous occasionally. The worst side effect is insominia. I started at 241lbs and after 3 weeks 233lbs. I feel happy, like I could take on the world. Perhaps the antidepressant is responsible. Certainly not like past diet pills that make you hyper and nervous. I really think this drug is a miracle so far. I make better eating choices and don't eat as much. I attribute this to not having cravings and not really caring that much about a meal any longer. Wish my insurance would cover it but it's well worth the price so far."


"Crazy, vivid dreams.  Dry mouth and insatiable thirst.  Increased appetite which subsided after a few weeks - stock your fridge with healthy food only or you will stack on the weight.  Can sleep the entire night without waking however oversleeping is a problem (10 hours) and I don't want to get out of bed (the vivid dreams are more exciting than life).  Less anxiety.  Increased concentration, less procrastination.  Sensation in my eyes (dry?) - people say I always look tired.  Restless leg syndrome for first month of treatment.  I'm surprised nobody on this forum has mentioned vivid dreams.  "

"1st Moviprep was lemon flavour split dose night and early morning. Was not looking forward to the morning dose as tasted disgusting. Second bowl cleanse with Moviprep again but orange flavour this time and was a lot more palatable. A lot nicer then lemon flavour, as in UK the NHS sent it through for colonoscopy prep."


"For me it's a miracle medicine. I purchase it OTC and can't believe how well it relieves symptoms of vertigo. Wonderful success with this medication. In the past, I actually had to pull over when driving a vehicle because I couldn't focus on the road. I take 100mg and in a few minutes I'm back on the road. Amazing! I suffer from tinnitus and get "off balanced" very easily. It completely cures my motion sickness."


"Can't say enough bad about this medication. Aside from the really severe, dangerous side effects like blood clots, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Severe anxiety, constant bloating and constipation, hemorrhoids, insomnia, etc. I was prescribed xanax after the first month to use so I might be able to sleep and just try get through the day and see if I could make it past the three month mark. Second month was also hell. The anxiety was better because I was hyped on sedatives but my digestive system was a wreck. By the time I got to the doctor she told me to stop using the medication immediately. Already doing significantly better. I can eat and I'm not terrified all the time."


"I have been on Buspar for 8 months and it has mellowed me out without the feeling of being drugged. I have noticed that if I miss a dose my old grumpy and panic attack self comes back quickly. I have tried many things to help control my depression and panic attacks and this drug makes me feel better but I have to control my feelings more.  In other words it does not make you so numb that you are out of it like other drugs. It just takes the edge off. I recently also discovered that it could be the reason for my increased sex drive. I may be showing signs of hair loss (but it's hard to tell given I am of that age when it happens) but I will take a better feeling and libido over hair. I have also on occasion noticed a metallic taste."


"I've been taking 300mg of quetiapine for the last 5 years for Bipolar type 2, and it's honestly turned my life around. Serious/semi-serious hypomanic/depressive episodes down to 1-2 a year, mild up and downs 2-4 times a year."


"Started taking tramadol when I went to a walk-in 2yrs ago and complained of having bad cramps during that time of the month. They were so bad I couldn't sleep at night but usually only lasted 1-2 days. The male Doctor there didnt hesitate to write me a prescription for 50mg of tramadol with 3 refills. Well it really worked very well and didn't make me feel out of it. When I went to my primary doctor I asked if it was okay to prescribe me that and she has since put me on the 50mg- every 6 hours as needed. She usually gives me 120 pills, which according to the label is a 30day supply. My problem is I have a bad lower back and have been taken them for that too. Does help as a antidepressant for me too."


"No antidepressants were working for me so the dr. Put me on brintellix. Diarrhea started three hours after first dose and continued for 12 days. I was on the medication 16 days total. By day 4 I had involuntary muscle twitches which turned into head jerking. By day 14 I had my first seizure while driving then had another seizure at work which caused me to lose my job yesterday (liability issues). This was a scary medicine for me and I'm more depressed now because I lost my job on account of it."


"I am on day 5 of the Z-Pak for bronchitis and the only improvement I have is no more swollen throat. I cannot take deep breaths otherwise I immediately go into a coughing fit, my coughs are deep and painful, and my stomach is certainly not a fan of this medication at all. I can only sleep on my back to avoid the coughing and wheezing so when I finally do fall asleep I could sleep for days only to wake up more exhausted. I had a fever of 100.9 the first day (Friday) which went away later after the first 2 pills but returned periodically throughout the weekend along with hot and cold sweats. The headaches are honestly the worst part. When I cough my head feels like it's going to split open. Seeking alternative next time."


"This is the only medication that has worked for me, with limited side effects. I love this and would highly recommend it if your insurance will cover it (though not all will)."


"I was really shocked when I read some of the reviews about this pill. I've been using it for almost 3 years. I've never experienced something negative about it. I felt the same as before emotionally, no changes in moods, nothing. The only thing that changed is that my periods are shorter and now I don't have to use drugs to prevent menstrual cramps, because there are none. My skin has been always clear, even before taking pills. Honestly, there is nothing bad to say about my experience with it."


"This really burns!!!  Honestly, no joke.  Like someone is pouring fire directly into the cornea.  Couldn't drive a car till my vision returned, which is not great when on the way to work.  Yeah, it gets the redness out, but not before you experience pain similar to having your eyelids tattooed with rusty nails. "


"It takes a long time to be effective. Don't be surprised that it may take 2 bottles (at 30day supply/ bottle) to get results. Condition will slowly improve. It usually is taken 4 times daily. Easier to do 1 hour before meals than 3 hours after. My schedule 6:30 am, 11 am, 4 pm and then before bed. Be sure to have FULL (8 - 10oz.) glass of water. Otherwise blue pill will cause stool to be DARK GREEN."


"I've been on Ambien and it was too strong. It gave me brain fog the next day. Taking half a pill helped but I did not like that it was habit forming. Got some samples of Silenor 3mg and it helped keep me sleeping or if I woke up I would go back to sleep. I only take half a pill with an 8 oz glass of water and that does the trick. It also helps to use earplugs to keep out noise.  Ive noticed that some people complain of weight gain. I cant imagine how that could happen if you are sleeping. But if Im awake and nibbling in the middle of the night, unless I up my exercise it's to be expected."


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


"I got this inserted in November of 2014. I have no periods at all which is the only thing I like about it. The first year I ignored signs of the side effects. I never had any mood swings etc before nexplanon. I had no idea this little stick in my arm could cause anything wrong. After it was brought to my attention the side effects of nexplanon I am getting it removed tomorrow. Since I had it put in, I lost a ton of hair, so much I just cut 9 inches off just to not feel so embarrassed. gained 25 lbs that I cannot lose even if I starve myself, anxiety out the roof, sometimes it's so bad I have to force myself to stay at work, mood swings, and brain fog, omg the brain fog makes me feel psychotic. I do not recommend anyone get this evil stick."


"I started Adipex June 17th and its now July 1st. My starting weigh in was 268 and 2 weeks later I weigh 240. I take half a pill when I wake up then another half around 2pm. It has suppressed my appetite so much it's crazy. I never realized how much I was eating before. It is important to exercise regularly. I have noticed with this pill that just looking at carbs makes me nauseous. I love lasagna and my mother made some but I just couldn't eat it. Also I have been drinking a ton of water because the dry mouth side effect has hit me hard. Overall yes I am excited with my weight loss. I just hope it keeps up at this rate. 100 lbs to go!"


"After years on duloxetine for major depression and degenerative osteoarthritis, a new psyche doctor had me try Effexor (terrifying effects). Bad trip. He had been having me take Prozac while I was weaning off duloxetine because it mitigates the withdrawal syndrome from duloxetine, and I felt better than I had in 10 years. After the near-suicide because of Effexor, I asked if we could just stick with Prozac but increase the dose. I prefer it because I feel like ME, not some drugged-out, flattened-emotion version of me. I still can get happy, sad, mad, chill, relaxed, etc. Many anti-depressants eliminate that ability, which I find unbearable personally. I take 20mg once per day in the morning, and it has given me my life back again."


"I have been on this birth control for two weeks. I had a Mirena IUD for 3 years, and I had it removed because I had low sex drive, pain from ovarian cysts, and I was getting frequent migraines. I was switched to Seasonique generic, Ashlyna, but it made me very nauseous and VERY hungry. I gained about 6 pounds in the first week. Since then, I was switched to Gildess and I am back down 6 pounds and feeling better. The only thing I noticed is that I did develop a large boil on my chin for the first few days, and I am unusually tired. I have spotted for about 10 days, and my breasts are a little sore maybe swollen. I have to be on birth control because I have severe endometriosis that has been removed twice. Anyone have a similar experience?"


"I took Avonex for 18 years and was recently prescribed Tecfidera. I have only been on it for three months. I was so happy to not have to inject, but swallowing these pills twice a day takes getting use to. The two side effects I seem to have is being exhausted all the time and my depression seems to be a little worse."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 9. I'm now 22. I've been on many medications for it. My favorite would have to be Adderall because it works now. Strattera is time release and it takes weeks to actually notice a difference. If you have patience for it then I'd recommend it."


"This is my second yeast infection not sure what caused it but both times I was on antibiotics for something else anyway the first time I asked my friend about using the 1 day treatment because I didn't want to deal with the responsibility of taking something for 7 days she assured me the burning was not worth it so I chose the 7 day not only did I have no burning or itching but my symptoms were gone after the second use now the second time is a different story I again used the 7 day treatment and the I'm on my second night the burning and itching is at about a 6 out of 10 which isn't too bad but it's annoying what helped was wearing loose clothing to bed and I also used aveeno anti itch cream it's very messy so try to use at night only"


"I felt great. The pain seemed to go away all together. Yet after about 6 hours my pain came back much worse. It was great at doing its pain killing job, but it didn't help me recover post-surgery."


"Very good medicine for pain and doesn't have Tylenol in it."


"The doctor gave me Zyrtec for a skin problem that I've had for a coule of years. If I take Zyrtec I don't have any symptoms. It works great!!!"


"I have nerve damage in my arms,'can't use them without fatigue. I have tried everything for the pain, nothing works well. Except for lyrica. I take 150mg twice a day and now the pain is so manageable that I get my life back.

If you have really bad nerve pain that makes you feel depressed and debilitated give the medication a go! I have had a few side effects like memory fog but the pain relief is worth it!"


"I received Sronyx from a free clinic and I have been on it for over 3 years! I have literally tried every single birth control option they had available. Nothing has ever given me such perfect experiences as Sronyx has. While I'm on Sronyx my periods are very light without cramps or pain. All my acne is gone and my skin glows! And if I miss a pill, like clockwork I would breakout. Sronyx even regulates my weight and curbs my appetite, no lie. I notice other birth controls make you extremely hungry and gain weight but Sronyx does no at all. I will never stray away from this pill. I absolutely love it!"


"I got Nexplanon put in at the end of March 2016. The first month on it wasn't too terrible. Light cramping and no period or spotting. In month two I began bleeding and this continued for 3 more months. There wasn't a period of time when I didn't have a tampon in. My doctor assured me the bleeding would stop, which it eventually did... for a whole 2 weeks, then 3 more months of bleeding. The worst part is the depression and mood swings though. I lost all motivation to do well in law school and stopped going to the gym entirely. I would freak out on my boyfriend for legitimately no reason and I experienced severe suicidal thoughts. I also gained around 10 pounds. The doctor couldn't get it out the first time so I'm having outpatient surgery."


"22 year old with a history of anxiety, and have found absolutely no issues with Yaz. Decided to make the switch after feeling overly emotional on Levlen. Was a little reluctant after reading reviews, but haven't experienced any side-effects at all, or at least if I have, they've been too minimal for me to notice!"


"I started back up once.  Then went back on Chantix 6 months later.  The second time I just forgot to smoke.  Family members pointed out I had not smoked all day.  I have NO thoughts of smoking.  And I am actually disgusted by the thought.
    I smoked for 20 years.  And now my nicotine receptors have been totally reversed.  I think Chantix is incredible.  I had no side effects.  Thank you Chantix."


"Lexapro helped me in many ways back in 2009. I suffered with anxiety for awhile before I sought professional help. After many exhausting trips to urgent cares and emergency rooms, it was time to address my anxiety head on. After a trip to an urgent care in San Diego, a doctor prescribed me 10 0.25mg of Xanax. He said I should try it out to help ease my anxiety. Xanax worked wonders but I knew that it wasn't safe for long term use. I eventually got a new prescription from my primary for a 30 day supply of 0.25mg of Xanax. I used it very sparingly and it took almost three months to finish the 30 day supply. My anxiety was still horrible and I was becoming too reliant on Xanax. I needed help fast! That's when Lexapro changed my life."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after suffering from pains in various parts of my body, exhaustion, and overall lack of interest in most everything.  I've now been on Savella 50 me 2 X day for about two months.  My results are astounding.  Significant reduction in pain, no more feeling exhausted, more active, and weight loss which I needed anyway.  I do have episodes of mania though.  There are times it seems like I can't stop talking.  I have experienced no negative side effects and truly feel like after about 8 years I've finally gained my life back.  I know this is just my story, but I hope others can get the same positive results from this medicine."


"I was diagnosed with Nacolepsy about a year and half ago and started taking Nuvigil.  I began with a 150mg dose once a day and the first couple weeks were great.  Like some of the other reviews colors were brighter, I was more focused and felt better than I ever remember feeling.  After a couple of months on that dose I started to have midday sleeping spells, where I could not keep my eyes open, even when in the middle of complicated work functions.  I would literally fall asleep while typing, waking to find the same letter across the page.  I spoke to my Doctor and the dose was upped to 250mg once a day.  I went throught the same effects as when I first started taking the medication.  Again the effects have slowly worn off."


"Im 5'2 and 245lbs. Never suffered from being overweight in my life but in the past couple years my weight has been progressingly going up, and I work out and diet is extremely modified so my doctor decided to try me on this medication. I started it last Friday 11/15 at 245lbs and as of today I'm 231lbs. Meaning 14lbs in 6 days. My appetite has definitely been suppressed, really not much of an appetite at all, but for the most part the medication is doing what I desired it to do, and besides last night only getting a couple hours of sleep and up the remaining of the night I feel good. Will post again after a month or so."


"I started with start pack. I was doing the lightbox 2-3"


"This is my first birth control experience, and so far it is good!
My weight and acne are exactly the same as ever. Periods (though now haywire schedule-wise, and I used to be extremely regular) are no longer awful! It's been 6ish weeks since the last one so my paranoid self took a pregnancy test, but it was negative.
The only thing is, I think it's making me a little emotionally tender. I'm a generally happy person, but recently I've sent an untoward number of tearful texts to my bf, who says it's out of character. And some random sad afternoons have happened.
I also used to do that around my period anyway though, so...? If it keeps happening I might try a month off to see if it isn't school stress instead."


"Before I go into this product it should be noted, normally I am against any weight loss medicine. However, after being on a restricted calorie diet and exercise regime with no results over a three month period, my doctor and I decided to try this medicine in combination with what I am doing already. So far, this is day 4 of using Meridia and my weight has dropped 3.6lbs, with mild side effects being anxiousness. The first day I felt spacy, but that subsided and now I have ZERO appetite. I will post again later this month, but as of right now I am thrilled at the results. This medicine is pricey, but to me was worth every penny."


"This medication is poison. I don't recommend.
My 5 year old was on this for 3 months when I've notice her behaviour changed, a bubbly happy and active child, had turned into a sad, tearful, tired and unhappy child with every little thing making her angry and depressed.
I urge anyone who's taking or is thinking of giving this to their child, as soon as u see the littlest of change stop!!
It can really affect you or your child's life.
If only I had researched or my child's dr had advised me well instead of brushing my worries under the table, I would have never given this to her."


"I recently got the Liletta inserted (June 2016). I have been feeling very bloated lately and after I eat I still feel hungry. I have been an emotional rollercoaster (I control my emotions very well, I calm myself down and usually am a very self uplifting person), so something is definitely wrong! I have light cramping everyday and breast tenderness here and there just like acne. You know your own body and you know when something is wrong. I don't know if it's because I recently had a baby (April), maybe its the IUD and recently giving birth and my body trying to adjust?

I don't know, all I know is that this SUCKS!!!

I had the Mirena before and didn't have as much problems as this one and its supposedly the same thing just a generic brand."


"I was taking this pill for several years and had a good experience with it. My periods were only for 3 days, if that. Sometimes, I hardly bled. My Dr. prescribed this to me because I had irregular menstrual cycles. While I was on the medication, my acne improved, I hardly had any breakouts, I barely experienced cramps, and I had a shortened period. It worked very well for me but apparently, they've discontinued this product. Minastrin 24 FE is apparently the bio-equivalent. I have yet to try that product or any new pills."


"I seem to have lost my tasting abilities for foods."


"I've been having problems for years with my stomach and GERD.  I was put on prilosec and was told that it would possibly cause an upset stomach to begin with but to try to work through it.  I took it for around 5 months but I could not handle it anymore.  I kept stomach cramps and an upset stomach the whole time.  I couldn't keep enough fluids in me to keep myself hydrated.  Months later I was prescribed it again and tried it once again.  Same thing but worse.  I had bad blood work come back saying my kidneys weren't working right and my potassium was so low I was admitted into the Hosp.  Since then my kidneys are still not OK. I've been peeing blood on and off. I am pretty sure that this medicine has messed my kidneys up. Bad stuff for me"


"3 back surgeries, 2knee surgeries. I take one before bed if needed, and no pain or muscle spasm. No drowsy feeling the next day. Helps a lot."


"I've been suffering from headache for over 10 years. Headache could last up to a week, it was horrible. Took so many pain medicines and it didn't work. I ended up with craniotomy last year and metal plates on my skull bone. I was fine for few months-no headache. Few months ago the headaches came back again. Now I'm miserable again when the headache come...I got this injection Sumavel DosePro....after the injection my head feels like it explodes and I fell asleep right away....after an hour-two the headache is gone...it's great medicine....it's working right away.....through the skin and blood vessels. "


"I love it!
This is the first form of birth control I've ever been on. My doctor prescribed it to me because of its low hormonal content and it's been great! Started it on the first day of my period - cramps were pretty bad the first 2 days, worse than usual and my period lasted about 9 days as opposed to my regular 4 or 5 and slight headaches for about a week but no side effects at all after that!

It's been great! Increased libido was just a little bonus. I was pretty skeptical at first because I read nothing but horror stories about it but so glad I tried it.

Out of pocket cost is $45/month. A little steep and there is no generic yet."

"While taking this pill I became an emotional wreck, my face broke out, had spotting between periods, cramps got worse and developed fibroids. The list goes on."


"I went on this med probably about 2 years ago. I've lost 49 pounds, but not just due to the Victoza, but because I've been eating better and exercising more.  But the Victoza gave me a good boost in the right direction!  I was running blood sugars in the 200's with fastings in the 140's to 180's -- not very good. At one point my A1C was 8! On Victoza my fastings are usually around 100 and my last A1C was 6.5! A big difference!  The pen is easy to use, my pen needle is 32G, 5/32", I hardly feel it.  The Victoza, at room temp, is undetectable as it goes in, completely painless.  I thank God that my doctor switched me over.  Oh, and I also take Metformin twice a day. I have no GI side effects whatsoever, and I never did."


"Effexor XR worked great at treating my Postpartum Depression - within 6 weeks of taking it, it was gone.  I did have a lot of problems eating on this, though, which was the reason I stopped taking it."


"Hi, I was diagnosed of AS 2yrs back..My doctor prescribed me with Enbrel 50mg weekly which he tapered it slowly..I am still on Tab Methotrexate..I feel wonderful and have almost no pain days .I m 25"


"Worst experience ever. I took monistat 1 for a yeast infection to relieve the itching and burning and went to bed thinking that it would all be better in the morning. Not the case. Two hours in I wake up from th most intense itchiness and burning I have ever felt. I tried to remove the ovule but it had already dissolved. Now I'm at the ED waiting for a physician to tell me I just have to wait for the itching to go away. I am never using this product again."


"My GP has done a con Job as they shoved me on Victoza without any info on how safe it is. As they can't prove stuff they have got  you by the short & curlies. If you continue to take you could be seriously ill later. Think do you want to die - I think not. Get it withdrawn as it causes thyroid problems, plus cancer - who wants this - not me. I told my GP that I wasn't taking it any more if they couldn't be honest about victoza"


"After years of opiate pain medication for severe back trauma, I had to stop taking the meds as I felt myself not in total control.  Methadone has helped me stop taking the opiate pain meds, thank God!  It isn't a "wonder" drug, but it DOES control cravings and sickness."


"My Dr. prescribed me 60 MG Cymbalta 2 weeks ago to take everyday along with a 25MG Antihistamine for anxiety. Honestly, there seems to be more good than bad reviews so I'm guessing I'm a part of the small percent chance that it will have bad or little to no effect. The only thing Cymbalta does for me is make me exaggerate a smile. I still feel exactly the same and my anxiety is still there. The Antihistamine mainly takes care of the physical effects of anxiety but mentally I'm still suffering. Try it if you need to, I say it's worth a shot."


"It works great but I have had all different side effect at different points. I most always get flush face but then again you know it is working. Than I have had a stuff nose after away and or slight headache. I even once had the bright light effect at night but it all goes away in time. I find the next day I still have nice erections so it seems to work 24 hours for me. "


"Baclofen is a miracle for alcohol and addiction."


"I was given Phentermine yesterday and today is my first day taking it. I tried Belvic but got no results. I do try to eat healthy making my own meals and avoiding junk food. I am 306lbs and 5'10. I work out 3-5 times a week for at minimum an hour. Since I started working out I've been gaining weight not losing. I am going to increase my cardio. Its hard for me to increase my cardio due to a hernatied disc that I have had for a long time but I believe losing weight will help me with that as well."


"Great med, I'm diabetic (45yr old) and for the last 12 years, having ED gradually increased and hard to keep sustainable erection. 100mg works great for me and last up to 12 hrs.  Some  headaches but aspirin or advils help.
Even generic med works good too."


"I'm getting invega, serious side effects in libido (Im a male), sexual dysfunction, gained 30 kg plus, I can't do sports due to muscle stiffness, and killed all thoughts out of my head, barely can hold a job. No emotions also, I'm an hollow empty shell, a zombie. Can't get drunk. Took my life away.
But to say something good, it helped with delusions. I think it is too much price for it."


"I am a 27 yr old, 5'5", 105 lbs female. I started taking escitalopram a month back for my panic attacks due to agoraphobia. At first started with 5 mg a day along with 0.5mg etizolam for 2 weeks which didn't make any difference. Then my psychiatrist increased the dosage to 10mg a day along with 2.5mg clobazam (Frisium). I can now go out of my house without having a panic attack but a slight anxiety is still there. Once by mistake I took two 10mg tablets (I thought I was taking two 5mg tablets from the older strip) and when I went out that day I didn't feel even the slightest bit of anxiety. Later I realized I had taken 20mg. It's been 2 weeks now on the 10mg dosage and no weight gain. In fact I lost 2lbs. Just need to ask for higher dose."


"I've been using Viagra for several years, and have never noticed any significant side effects!  Until recently, I was cutting 100mg tablets into 4, as 25mg was working very well, with NO SIDE EFFECTS WHATSOEVER!  I'm now 66yrs old, and am finding that I need at least 50mg to "get the job done!"  I can't complain!  Thanks Viagra!"


"I am 3 days in taking this medicine at 40 mg dose and I am absolutely amazed that I am feeling 80% better! Anxiety is 98% better! I am so glad because I was not at all coping. I thought it took 2 weeks for these medicines to get in our systems but common sense says any medicine taken will immediately get into our blood streams."


"I've been using Protopic (0.1% ointment) for about six years to treat facial seborrheic dermatitis. On the plus side, Protopic ended five miserable years of itching, redness and burning that no cream seemed to help, and for that reason I am truly thankful. On the downside, it's very greasy (similar to Vaseline) which means it stays on the skin all day if applied in the morning. Drinking alcohol is a definite no-no too, as a tiny amount causes an awful reaction, making the skin immediately burn bright red.  Annoyingly, if I don't use Protopic for about two weeks, when I reapply it the skin burns and itches intensely for a few hours (REALLY uncomfortable). Using it more often, say twice a week, does however resolve this problem."


"I have just started Quetiapine (Seroquel) going form 25mg to 75mg now. I was previously using lithium and have gradually reduced it to 250mg, now I do not take it and have replaced with seroquel. I am concerned about the side effects at higher doses and I would like to know if anyone has gone from using lithium to seroquel as a modd stabilsier. I am doing this as I am trying to get pregnant and my doctor has told me that seroquel is a good substitute up to the 2nd trimester of a pregnancy where I would re-introduce lithium."


"I am the primary caregiver for my son who has a brain injury. He has severe insomnia and chloral hydrate syrup and more recently chloral hydrate gelcaps (Somnote) have been a blessing! It has been safe and effective for him for many years. I hope and pray the powers that be will reconsider the decision to discontinue manufacturing this medicine. It is our salvation for sleep not only for my son but for the rest of our household."


"When I became pre-menopausal I developed increased anxiety, panic attacks, heart racing, etc. My doctor recommended Lexapro. Within 1 week of taking this medicine I noticed a difference. I became calmer, easier to live with and all my anxiety symptoms disappeared. Literally got my life back. This is a miracle."


"My 12 years old son started Vyvanse 30mg more than one month ago. He is happy with the result in school. But what bothers me is he is kind of in slow motion especially in school (the teachers reported that)."


"Amazing. Helps me fall asleep. I don't have a problem staying asleep,  just getting in the mode to fall asleep.  This medication is amazing. I do not feel loaded at all,  I dont wake up groggy,  I just lay my head on the pillow and Sonata does the rest."


"I had Implanon inserted in my arm 2 and a half years ago. Its been a great experience and I've been very happy with the method. The spot on my arm was sore for about a week after and I have a very small (nick) of a scar. It obviously hurts if some one grabs my arm roughly but besides that it doesn't cause me any problems. It's getting time to get it removed and replaced, which I plan to do. I hardly ever got my period, maybe once or twice a year and it only last a few days. Very happy!"


"I have never had perfect skin however after taking this pill it is in horrendous shape. My doctor gave me a 3 month trial and I was told to come back after that time frame to see how it was reacting with my body. In these 3 months I noticed my skin slowly getting worse (mainly jawline and down my neck) and I was also having no periods and was also feeling moody and tired all the time.  My doctor wanted me to stick with the pill for an other 3 months to see if everything started to even out. At month 5 I have cystic acne down my neck. I still don't have a 'real' period, just random spotting during the month. Also I don't feel tired as often however sleep about 11 hrs/night to feel refreshed. Definitely don't recommend this birth control."


"This drug is amazing... There is a reason it has been around for 30+ years"


"Works for me....Double walking distance and endurance!"


"Horrible. Immediately after the first pill I became nauseated. Nausea stayed for while 2 months. Horrible pains at bottom of my stomach from this pill. Soon as I stopped taking it the nausea went away and the stomach pains. I will not ever use this again. Never ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"So, I have been on the Ortho Evra for a few days, but what I have already noticed is that it itches, pretty bad, and I already have inflammation in my knees and in my hips, and I put the patch on my right arm and I noticed that the pain in my right knee and right hip has gotten worst. And tiredness and slight headaches, but other then that, I'm loving it so far."


"My skin was great before and after starting Alesse! I've had no weight gain and my periods are extremely light. I no longer need to use painkillers for menstrual pain and my moods have been stable."


"I have been on all different meds for CRPS that I got from a work related injury 16 years ago.  Tried just about all the extended release options available but they caused intolerable side effects. Even tried neurontin but only got side effects. This drug changed my life. I could function because the pain was tolerable for the first time in years. I do not know what I will do if it is ever unavailable to me. I still need something for break through pain but I can live an almost functional life now. I am at 125 mcg. every 48 hours. I found that 72 hours was too long between changes as the pain was intolerable on the 3rd day."


"I had this put in at least 3 weeks ago and I've had no problems my periods already stopped, I am occasionally moody, but other that a slight weight gain everything is fine with it. I would definitely recommend this to someone."


"I have been on Contrave for 2 months now.  Yes at first like any medicine you get constipation, headaches, nausea, and anything else.  They do put it in the pamphlet advising about side effects.  This medicine is suppose to make you nauseous when you over eat.  It suppresses your appetite. I've noticed this especially when you're eating foods with more fat.  This medicine  is a combination of two separate drugs one is naltrexone, best known as a treatment for alcoholism. Honestly we can't depend on a pill to loose weight altogether.  Eating right and exercising are what we need to incorporate in our weight loss plan.  Personally I have seen great results.  It's helped me over my plateau.  Thank you."


"I was on the pill for about 3 years before getting it. I started skipping my placebo pills about 8 months before, so I didn't have a period when I got it. I got the implant & it was a very quick procedure: it took less than 5 minutes. There was initial discomfort, felt like tugging where it was inserted but it wasn't painful. Other than that, it's been a great. I did gain weight because it causes some weird hunger cravings, so I'd watch out for that. I haven't gotten a period or spotted at all. I think this method is best suited for those already on a hormonal type of birth control. If this is your first type of Hormonal Birth Control :give your body lots of time to adjust/try the pill first in a low dosage & get the implant later for smoother transition."


"I got my paragard in about three months ago and so far it's been amazing ! A little crampy the first couple days after insertion but that's it, now three months later My periods are shorter and less heavy"


"After breaking up with my boyfriend, I had a one night stand with a guy to move on. The condom broke, and we didn't notice until after we were done. I'm currently not on birth control, and I was on day 12 of my cycle which is normally 26 days, so I was definitely in my most fertile point in my cycle. After he left I went to CVS and bought Plan B. I took it about 2 hours after the incident occurred. I had some bad cramping for a few hours after taking it, but didn't get any other side effects. Anyways I'm very happy to report that I got my period today, 2 weeks to the day of taking plan b! I would've very likely have gotten pregnant if I hadn't taken it. If you follow the directions and take it asap, it'll do its job. Plan B really works!"


"I have had chronic diarrhea for 20 years. I could not eat without experiencing diarrhea, had accidents in public places. The first thing I did when entering a new building was locate the restroom. I frequently had to leave my classroom unattended to run--no running would have been disastrous--carefully walk to the nearest restroom and have embarrassingly flatulent and explosive bouts of diarrhea. I finally started  self-medicating, taking one tablet in the morning and one before supper. I have two normal bowel motions a day. No more diarrhea now. My life has changed!"


"I was put on Duragesic when the MS Contin wasn't enough to control my chronic pain, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, even with breakthrough medicines. At first the patches worked well once I got up to a dose that worked. The only horrible drawback is that I live in the desert and once the daytime temperatures got over about 90 degrees F the patches began dumping more because of the heat. I finally had to quit using them, due to side effects brought on by the high temperatures. Also at times I would just fall asleep. I finally quit the patches all together when I fell asleep driving and almost had a bad, bad wreck. I feel the patches work great for people who don't have to deal with high outside temperatures."


"This sent me to the hospital!!! I was on my second pregnancy and my OB prescribed Diclegis for my morning sickness, which feels more like all day sickness. I decided to wait till night time to take 1 instead of 2 because it said it caused drowsiness and my toddler was 1 at the time. So I wake up at 4am feeling extremely flushed, I could feel my blood pumping through my body! My heart is racing out of control. I honestly thought I was having a heart attack! I called 911 and the paramedics said my HR was at 120. Once I got to the ER I started to hyperventilate to the point where I couldn't walk, talk, and my extremities became stiff. OB laughed at me didn't believe any of my side effects, fired him, never took it again! Don't recommend it!"


"I have Narcolepsy and I am currently taking 200mg twice daily and it barely works. My doctor added Ritalin 20mg twice daily and I have been on Ritalin for previous years until I moved to TX. In 2013, I was prescribed Vyvanse 70mg I believe. It didn't work better than the Ritalin or Adderall I tried while in TX. My doctor then prescribed Xyrem. Needless to say none of these drugs have provided adequate relief from daytime sleepiness. I started provigil in January 2016 and there's no change. I took provigil about 10 years ago and the same results. I need serious help because I barely function."


"So I have been taking this pill for a month and a 1/2 and I'm glad that I will be switching back to Lo Loestrin Fe. This pill was fine for the first month but once it got into my system...oh boy. I'm nauseous all the time, which is only relieved by burping or breaking wind. (Gross! I get that it's a bodily function but 24/7?!) I had FIVE days of breakthrough bleeding. My doctor told me it's normal to not get a period after starting this pill. But when you're sexually active, it gives you pause when you don't get one (have not missed a pill). My boyfriend says that my moods have changed and that I'm lathargic when I'm with him. I also get that I'm stressed out with the holidays, but I really don't need my birth control adding to it!"


"I started taking solodyn 80mg for a month after stopping my birth control and developing cystic acne as a result of stopping it. I have the giant cystic ones that come back worse every time I stop an antibiotic for acne (2 rounds of doxy, 1 round of minocycline). So I took it for 8 weeks total and noticed significant hair loss over those eight weeks with mild improvement in my acne. I got less giant pimples that were deep and under the surface, but within 1.5 weeks of stopping, I have them probably worse than ever. Felt tired and lazy most of the time while I was on it and had trouble focusing. Not worth the side effects for minimal improvement. Hope you have better luck."


"Better than a lot of other ADHD medications. Helped me lose 5-10lbs in only a month, but my weight remained the same for a while then went back up to original weight, probably because of starting other medications. Been on it for 8 months, and it has helped with reading and impulsivity related to ADHD, but does not give a boost of energy and productivity like Dexedrine or Vyvanse does."


"I've panic disorder. I've always been a "treat as necessary" type of patient  and I do prefer to only take meds as needed. Benzo's have always served me best, but my present pdoc is all about steering patients away from them. So, we started this med 3 mo ago. The only other meds I take regularly are propranolol for high bp, and seroquel on most nights.

1st week: gabapentin made me feel pleasantly high like a cannaboid might. I was talkative, appetite for food and drink increased, had a notable sense of well being. Since then, the effects (positive and negative) have dropped drastically. I may as well be taking dollar store kava kava for all I can tell."


"I'm so glad to finally get relief.  I tried everything else with no results.  I saw the commercial and asked my doc about Linzess. He agreed I should try it.  He told me to take it in the morning, 30 minutes BEFORE my first meal.  I took it later and I got diarrhea.  Now I take it in morning and it works great!  I know this sounds dramatic but I feel like I got my life back during these two weeks.  If it works for me it should work for anyone.  $30 copay is same as buying miralax which doesn't really work for me.  I'm satisfied."


"At the time I began taking Seroquel 4 years ago, my depressions were so severe that I attempted suicide and almost dropped out of college. Although my bipolar symptoms improved quickly, I dealt with extreme side effects (mostly a constant foggy and emotion-less feeling) until I reduced the dose from 600 to 300mg.
Although my cholesterol has risen and life-threatening side effects of Seroquel have been discovered, I continue to take the medicine as I am completely unable to sleep without it and I can't imagine going back to the way I was 4 years ago."


"I had unprotected sex on August 10, also the last day of my period. He told me he pulled out but I wanted to just be on the safe side since I wasn't very safe with just word of mouth. Took the pill about 3 hours after the incident, and had no side effects. The only side effects were headaches, occasional cramps, and VERY SORE BOOBS about 2 weeks after taking, also had no spotting which worried me Bc seemed like everybody had that. Since my period wasn't due for another month, the waiting killed me. Last night I was cramping and woke up this morning to my period, 2 days early! Don't stress, as I did every night and day and didn't make the situation better. The pill WORKS."


"I've been taking this medicine for sometime now, and it helps out a little with the anxiety and all. I'm on 50 mg 4 times a day, but I usually just double up the dose, and take it twice a day. I was on it for several years sometime a while back, and when I came off it, it was just awful for the people around me. "


"I'm 39. Have 3kids. I had been using the nuva ring for several years and loved it. No problems. But because of my age,having diabetes my doctor put me on Nora be. I just got off my cycle,started this pill and 3days later I start bleeding again and have been for 5days and I mean extremely bad going through a pad and tampon every 30min. I have read other reviews and see this is common but I have had good swings,headaches, dizziness, cramps,bloating, increase appetite and heart flutters. I'm not taking this BC anymore. I'm done having kids now anyway so I think I'll just Tie my tubes and not go through or worry about this anymore."


"I have a terrible toothache and the only thing this medicine did was make me a little tired. I am  going to the dentist tomorrow but for now I am still in pain."


"Well  a couple of years ago when I was 16 when I decided to get on the nuvaring . Long story short my sex drive was non existent. I also had vaginal dryness and even if we did do it it was painful. It also caused me to have UTIs I've never had one in my life before then. I stopped 5 months after starting. It was awful the only good thing was that my periods were regular."


"Amazing. But do not over dose your scalp. I was impatient and used four droppers and it works SO well. Then I went back to the proper directions. I want this product. If side effects it may be the cleaning. It helps clean the clogged follicle from fungus? Or what? Anyone know? My hair is much much better. Feels like hair Not Fuzz. I bought mine CASH!! Well worth it. Several bottles in case misused I'm not deprived from its amazing benefits. "


"I had Implanon implanted two years ago. The first month I had my period for over 18 days. I experienced such changes with my hormone levels that I would cry, or be outraged one minute from the next and I couldn't control the way I felt. I'm a completely rational person and whatever hormones are in this literally made me want to cut it from my arm.
After the first three months, of which I had four days each of the rage/crying/uncontrollable emotions, everything seemed to level out. I haven't had my period for a year and a half now. If you make it through the first three months, it's great. "


"Just took my first dose 5 mg of Brintellix - have been on every possible medication including Wellbutrin for 15 years, Seroquel for 9 years, Lexapro for 2 years, just weaned off Lexapro.  I feel quite odd, butterflies in stomach and brain fog - my daughter has been on Brintellix for 2 months and is still vomiting - if this continues, another failed med."


"I took 10 mg of lisinopril for a month and could not handle the side effects anymore.  It worked great at getting my blood pressure down but with that came heart pounding and fluttering, headaches, leg pains, weakness, dry mouth, diarrhea, dizziness, trouble sleeping, waking in the middle of a deep sleep very confused and alarmed, and taste change.  Within 2 days of changing medicines all of these problems disappeared even though the doctor assured me it was not all from lisinopril.  "


"I have OCD & PTSD. Zoloft is the only medication I've been prescribed. I have been taking it for 3 months, but am overjoyed at the results. I started at 25 mg. It took a month to start working. The first thing that I noticed was that I didn't feel as depressed anymore, and I lost the urge to do most of my compulsions. I am now taking 50 mg and barely have any anxiety anymore, and intrusive thoughts do not bother me anymore, though I do frequently have nightmares similar to the intrusive thoughts I used to have. I also have headaches and occasional diarrhea, but the benefits far outweigh these minor inconveniences."


"Tried this out because I wanted a lower dose birth control pill. I was on it for 3 months and I got two periods a month (PLUS breakthrough bleeding), worsened acne that only went away on the break, as well as bad mood swings. I would cry every few days for no reason. I'm switching to Diane 35 for my cystic acne ( which loestrin fe made worse). The only positive was that Lolo controlled my primary dysmenorrhea."


"Feb. to Sept. I was on the mini pill just progesterone and during that time I got acne that never went away and I gained 25 pounds with bad mood swings. Prior to that I was on Yasmine for a year which caused my hair to thin out but my doctor was concerned it was giving me really bad headaches. I started Ortho Tri Cyclean Lo 32 days ago and everyday I've had a period which today it seems to be going away. I know it takes up to 90 days for my body to adjust so I'm willing to work through it. The acne has gone away completely, no headaches, no severe mood swings and my hair has stopped falling out. I don't have the food cravings so hopefully I can start to lose the weight. I have noticed my breasts have grown which is fine by me."


"Pro: little to no period (I didn't have one at all after month four), no weight gain (I am very active though), no mood swings.
Con: Acne, headaches (not migraines), little to no sex drive. The sex drive issue is why I'm trying a different birth control. I love my husband and want to enjoy married life. "


"I got Influenza A from my son. It was to late for him to take Tamiflu, but his doctor prescribed it for me in case I came down with the flu. I took it with in the first 48 hrs. of beginning symptoms. I had little stomach upset and lose stool, but not to bad. I don't know that it did anything to help me. The only difference between me and my son was my fever stayed lower than his did. I was still just as sick and for the same period of days. The pharmacy info. on Tamiflu says it doesn't always help everyone. :("


"I have tried several medications for my Crohn's Disease, including steroids, antibiotics, 6-mp, Entocort, Asacol.  After having surgery to remove my ileum, Colazal seems to be the only medication that has helped and not caused any major side effects. From time to time I have flare ups, but overall Colazal seems to be working."


"I used chantix twice before this.. and quit every time..hubby and I were on a cruise..just days shy of 4 years quit..and well....he had a bright idea to buy cigarettes at the store on the ship duty free..because it was so cheap. .and we would quit when we got off the ship..after a few no..no no's well 15 months later i just started taking chantix at thanksgiving 2015..and here it is 8 days later..and every cigarette i smoke tastes horrible..i went from a pack a day to 3 per day..in fact.my pack is empty and i am not buying another..so today is my quit day..i have had some nausea at times ..lasting a few minutes..and very interesting vivid dreams..not scary..or bad ..but I feel the dreams disrupt my sleep..and make me tired during the day."


"I've been on this birth control for about 2 weeks now (I know it's early) but I've had a horrible experience so far! I've had constant head aches, constant vaginal discharge (a lot at that), deep severe stomach pains, and my sex drive is not there. I have been very depressed and I cry all the time over nothing. Some nights my pain of nausea and headaches I've wanted to go get checked out. I'm acne prone so I break out anyways but I have noticed recently more acne starting to pop up. When this pack is done I'm definitely going to ask to switch because constant pain is not worth it"


"I've had my Paragard for 10 months and it is a nightmare. My periods last 16+ days which have led to at least 5 UTI's from inserting tampon after tampon. I'm now ALSO taking birth control pills to try and lessen the bleeding but it hasnt helped.

I'm 43, 1 birth, 1 miscarriage, 1 abortion. My insurance only covered the Paragard after having Mirena's in the past.

I have an appt in 4 weeks to get it removed and get another Mirena. This is absolute nonsense to be bleeding for over 2 weeks every month."


"Since starting this Drug I feel a lot calmer , anxiety has gone.  I am on 100mcgs for life, and it has made me less hyper and more focused in living in the Day ."


"I have been treated with situational depression that turned to a chemical imbalance and have tried just about every SSRI/ SNRI out there. I was on Cymbalta 60mg alone for several years and even with ability 2mg but it wasn't until I tried cymbalta 60mg with Abilify 5 mg that I saw real results I have more energy than I have had in several years, my anxiety and social anxiety levels have diminished to almost non existent. I don't seem to have any side effects from the Abilify. Hope some of you try my advice."


"I think this is a fine product for some.  Easy to use and never felt it in.   However, after about 10 days in, I experienced panic, tingling, nausea, increased irritability, moodiness and signs of depression.  In other words: it made me feel like another person.  Friends I know have tried it and loved it, but I got the same hormonal bc effects, sadly, I'd gotten with oral bc pills. :("


"Having severe bone loss, my MD put me on vitamin D2 at 50,000 units a week. My wife did the research, and found out vitamin D2 is not as well absorbed as vitamin D3. It also must be taken with a calcium supplement. I had been taking the D2 for several years, and then they wanted me to take Prolia as my bone loss was getting worse. Stopping the D2, and starting the D3 at 5,000 iu a day with 600 mg of calcium has helped quite a bit.  I would suggest anyone try this before taking something like Prolia, or Forteo for bone loss. If you have osteoporosis, you need the supplements either way. Wife took Forteo everyday for 26 months, and less than 4 years later they now want her to try Prolia too.Check wikipedia for info on this."


"I use this infrequently, but it's been effective each time. I take for anxiety and high stress situations, but also to calm my brain so I can get a good nights sleep! Works fast and slows me down but in a good way."


"I started taking Yasmin when I had a continuous period of bleeding for 2 1/2 months. I took it for 2 years until Ocella came out as the generic form of Yasmin. I had no complaints and it helped regulate all my symptoms and made that time of the month more bearable for me. I could get out of bed and actually function the way I normally do. The only downside I had to taking this is I did develop Gallbladder disease and ended up having an emergency gallbladder removal. I would recommend that anyone who takes this watch what they are eating too and limit lots of fatty foods."


"First day on this med and I didn't expect it to work as fast as it did. Usually on my first day of my period I bleed so much. But even after taking the first two pills I saw the difference in blood flow. My last two pills for the day still I saw a significant decrease in blood flow. I didn't have any side affects at all my first day and time using this and hope that continues. So far this is the best medication for me and I'm happy."


"I was on adderall for about 10 years after I lost too much weight on Dexatrin. I began when I was about 10 and went all the way up to 40-60 mg a day, depending on how I felt. I was great for focus, but I definitely had sweaty pits, which I find really annoying. After Adderall stopped working, I switched to Concerta for 3 years, then to VyvanSe, which was incredible. All of these medications, though, made me feel like a schizo. Because I started so young, I got used to the feelings, but I would be a robot when I was on them, and coming down, irritable until I ate, then crazy hyper. Adderall did everything it was supposed to do, and because of it I was able to get into a great boarding school, great college, and now grad school."


"This med is amazing. 23 year old christian college grad with every type of anxiety for the past 2 years. Could barely go to class or the grocery store, felt dissociated, distant and terrified of people (including friends). Was scared to try any drug but after losing my job and needing to go out and interview I decided to try something. 3 days in and I feel totally changed. No anxiety. Clear head. Feel like I could even move countries to work and I've been out more in a weekend than I have been in 3 months combined. I take 5mg and 25mg of hydroxyzine to balance out the side effects (blurry vision, headaches, muscle spasms etc). Don't be scared just try it. I regret not going on this sooner."


"I am a pack a day smoker for about 10 years now. I am really ready to become a non smoker and say I overcame the addiction. Today is my 8th day, I have been feeling sick the last 2 days and having some 'off-the-wall-dreams but funny dreams. I am tired during the day but when I am at home I am good. I work and go to school so my only concern is that I will not have enough energy for both. So far today I have only had one cigarette today and I only took 2 puffs and threw it out. Praying that this works as I start my new life as a non smoker! Good luck to everyone out there who has just started!"


"This medication is NOT for teenagers.

My son was so depressed we could not get him out of his room for days on end.  We eventually got convinced him that he needed help and agreed to start taking medications and spending more time out in the sun and exercise.  All of this was painfully slow but I believe the medication did help him become more motivated to help himself.  He agreed to give the medication 5 weeks.

Week 6 my son started punching holes in walls and throwing things when he has never done anything like this before.  Week 8 my son killed a little girl.  A friend of the family.

Now, he is facing 47 years without parole for something he did at 17 influenced by a medication I had asked him to try.This is in fact, LIFE w/o parole."


"Botox has been my salvation.  I went from having daily 24/7 migraines to having only 1-2 migraines a week using Botox injections every 3 months.  I know that sounds like a lot, still - but believe me - when you're having migraines from the time you wake up until you manage to drop off to sleep, having some relief more days than not AND being able to actually treat the ones you do get with triptans and having it WORK is absolutely HUGE.  I feel as though I've gotten my life back.  I went from having to take at least a day off a week for migraines to rarely having to take a day off.  My supervisor has noticed and mentioned several times how little sick time I take now!  I've gotten my LIFE back!"


"This medicine saved my life! I received it weekly for 6 months."


"Marvelous medicine! Cleared my congestion and headache in one dosage! Would recommend to everyone suffering from congestion or sinus infection."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I have had 2 other colonoscopies using other preps. By far, SUPREP has been the most thorough, but also the most difficult for me to ingest. I am not easily nauseated, so that was not a problem. But, I can see why someone could become quite queasy because of the taste. It has an overpowering cherry taste. I'm hoping that the next time I need to take it they will have a lesser cherry taste or, better yet, a completely different flavor...again, not so strong."


"This worked wonders!"


"The first time I took this three years ago, I lost 20 pounds in four months, but as soon as I stopped my appetite skyrocketed and I gained it all back.   I went back just this year to try again and it has zero effect on my appetite, it is like I am taking sugar pills. I  seriously asked them if they were giving me sugar pills.  They tried the "zine" one on me too, phentermazine or something and that was even worse.    I think for some people you have one shot with these to lose the weight.  After that they have no effect on your body."
