"I was administered Nubain during my labor. It made me feel extremely drunk and out of control. I remember feeling intense pain, but not really caring. The whole experience is hazy to me, which is really depressing as I looked forward to giving birth. Also, after being administered the Nubain, my labor became precipitous (I went from 3cm to 10cm in under 2 hours - not sure if this is related to the Nubain though) I would rather go drug-free than to use this again for the birth of my next baby."


"I have been battling major depression and anxiey for years and was at the point of saying this illness is meant to be my fatality.

After several tries on different antidepressants.
Trintellix has given me a new outlook on life. If you are at the point of tiresome trial and error do not give up until you try Trintellix. The  benefits out way the side effects."


"I never had much acne as a teenager, but now I have developed breakouts almost constantly at 21.  I have tried antibiotics and several prescribed ointments.  They work for a time and then quit.  I have used Aczone for 6 weeks and it seemed to help for the first 4 wks and now the past 2 I have probably the worst breakouts of my life.  I stopped using and just went back to Proactiv and prescribed Benzopack and have some improvement.  I was hoping Aczone would be the answer for me, but it isn't."

"Duac works great for my rosacea, the first medicine I've ever had that really works for me.  I've used it for about 5 years now."


"I've been in this injection since August 2014. It really has improved my quality of life. Before it, I was in and out of the doctors or ER every week. But now I rarely need to go because of this medication. I have tried so many different medicines and this is the only one that worked for me. It's scary when you see your lung function decreasing over time

But xolair has given me hope. I get the shot every 2 weeks. Sometimes the side effects suck, muscle weakness and extreme fatigue but it's better then not breathing"

"Prepping for my first colonoscopy. Took the first dose at around 6 PM the night prior to the exam and am taking the second dose right now. I find the taste pretty terrible. I have bad gag reflexes so it was a struggle for me to get all the way down. Medicine started doing its thing about 30 minutes after the first round, about 10 minutes after the second. Still am not going clear. Have experienced chills but no nausea (yet)."


"Only on 75 mcg for three weeks, but have headaches, spine feels compressed, joints ache, muscle fatigue, sleep disorders, not to mention extreme hair loss, dry skin, oh yeah, forgetfulness. "


"I was terrified to do the bowel prep after reading reviews about it because there were way more bad ones than good but I'm here to tell you this prep is a piece of cake. This is coming from a 20 y/o, 130 pounds, and I hate water. I barely drink this much water in a week and I was still ok. I took the first dose at 8pm and by 815 I was going to the bathroom. By 11pm I had close to 25 bms so it definitely does its job. After I drank the prep the excessive hunger I had been feeling all day was gone! I wasn't nauseous whatsoever. I just woke up and took my 2nd dose 20 minutes ago and my colonoscopy is at 11! Great experience overall! I would definitely recommend it :)"


"Had terrible anxiety attacks .Have been on 0.5 mg for years. Really helped."


"I get probably 2 migraines a year, but when I do they are debilitating. I took Treximet with 2 minutes of my aura starting. 20 minutes later the aura was gone, and all the remained of the migraine's onslaught was some a very dull heaviness in my head, and some flushness. I would highly recommend this medicine. Ask your doctor for samples - that's how I got mine."


"I was diagnosed with a rare form of Lupus (as a teen) 24 years ago, 6years later with Raynauds and fibromyalgia. Over the years, I have tried many pain medicines, some have helped and some haven't, but most have had multiple side effects and/or interactions with my other necessary medicines. In 2004 I was in the hospital while I was out of remission and I had a slip and fall, this accident resulted in three herniated discs. Since then I've been taking Avinza 120mg, with Vicodin 10/650 for breakthrough pain and I can honestly say, this is the best pain coverage I've had in 24 years with only 1 side effect.... constipation, which Miralax takes care of."


"Effexor gave me my life back. I was so with anxiety for months to the point I would not come out of my room all I was doing was crying I thought I was having a break down. I'm taking 75mg at night at first I felt sick and dizzy but after about 4 weeks I started to feel better. I've been taking them now for 8 weeks and I feel back to normal. I'm back in work full time I still get the odd bad day but that's to be expected. Don't know what I would have done without this medicine. Please be patient with this medication I know it's hard but after 4-6 weeks you will feel better. Good luck with it all I know it's really hard but you will get better."


"Lumbar fusion, cervical fusion. 12 years of opiate treatment for the pain led to a large tolerance for these medicines. I'm opiate free now. I have been put on Gabapentin. I love it. For me the build up of stiffness is more of a problem than the pain is. Don't get me wrong, it hurts!, but I seize up the more I do a physical activity. I'm on day 4. The stiffness is all gone. The pain is reduced to the lumbar area only, and only a 2 or 3 on the pain scale after a full day of housework. So many good reports out here, I thought I would share...thanks."


"I've been on aleese a month now and it's been absolute hell. I'm not and emotional person under any means and eat like a full grown man usually but since starting this I haven't been able to eat at all because of the nausea and have had random uncontrollable mood swings. I've lost 10 lbs and every time I take one of these pills I get an instant headache. My period was hell aswell I got bad cramps for a week before and all during, this is not normal for me. My period also went from 4 days to 7 which really ticked me off. It cause my acne to get far worse and scar like I've never had before.Not only this but my anxiety levels went through the roof, my depression did the same causing me suicidial thoughts and I hadABSOLUTELY no energy."


"This birth control is the best! I got it because of heavy periods, my period is now lighter and more manageable. The only side effect I had was sore breasts for the first 2 months then they went away."


"Where do I begin? Seroquel, personally I think it is a great medication for the right person. I've taken seroquel on and off 3 different times, I am currently back on it and will most likely stay on it. I take 800mg before bed time and sleep like a baby. I do have a few side effects from this medicine which include dry mouth, constipation and indigestion. I take seroquel for Borderline personality disorder (BPD), I am also on 300mg lithium and 300mg 3x a day of gabapentin. Seroquel helps control my mania and impulsive behavior, it does not make me a zombie and I have great concentration. What I don't understand is this drug being prescribed to people for sleep issues, sure you sleep like a baby but those are the people with all these terrible side effects and horror stories."


"I highly reccomend the implant to anyone. I got mine inserted in early May 2015 now being October 2015 I haven't had any period since then which to me is a great side effect because who actually enjoys bleeding from their vagina every month, right? The only downsides for me are that I have absolutely no idea when my next period will be or if I'll ever get one (on the implant) and the other thing was at first I was a bit gross'd out at the fact I could feel the implant inside my arm which you get used to as time passes. Positive side effects-No babies for 3 years unless I decide to have one or get it taken out which is unlikely "


"Cefdinir did what no other antibiotic did as for getting rid of certain problems that I had for years.  However I had severe cramping and diarrhea with this medicine and had to quit taking it.

I feel like, if the doctors know something about this medicine, besides popping  2 a day, he or she should tell you.  A person has to look on the internet how to take medicines in order to keep down the side effects.  And if my doctor told me it would be better to take Cefdinir on a full stomach and eat yogurt everyday, maybe the side effects would have been much less.  And he knows how sensitive I am to medicines."


"I just started taking this medication yesterday. My craving have subsided which is great. No adverse side effects as of yet but one thing I notice is my mood is brighter. I believe this medication is in the same family as many antidepressants. I am a psychiatric RN and never would have considered myself depressed, but I feel better and brighter since taking this medication. I am not sure if my Health Plus will cover any of my future prescriptions but I will be willing to pay the cost. My goal, of course, is to lose weight. It is too early to determine if that will happen, but I intend to keep posting the progress."


"I have been taking Wellbutrin for a while for my depression but it stopped working. My doctor prescribed Zoloft. It definitely worked well but the side effects are undesirable, I clench my teeth a lot my heart beats fast, I have nausea and I have delayed or no ejaculation. It's driving me nuts."


"Hot flashes, blisters, heart palpitations, bruising."


"I just experienced my first Synvisc injection yesterday. It was my first time with Synvisc after previously having a cortisone injection in my right knee. The cortisone offered no relief at all, plus I experienced redness in my face and agitation to the point that I couldn't sleep for two days. My initial apprehension with the Synvisc shot was over how the actual shot would feel. Bravery is not my strong point!. I have not had enough time to evaluate how well it works yet but I can already feel an improvement. They drained a lot of fluid from my knee beforehand which I hear helps it work. The actual procedure and shot was virtually painless. The P.A. took his time and honestly, I didn't even feel a little pinch. I was very very pleased."


"I was diagnosed with cluster headaches in my late 20's, I was prescribed Cafergot and it worked great. Although now the FDA has taken the medicine off the market due to some people having bad side effects. I tried many different steroids my neurologist experimented with, hoping for some relief and less frequency of the attacks, which didn't work at all. Now I'm prescribed sumatriptan tablets, and they seem to be working great for me. "


"Not good experience AT ALL. I Have anxiety and depression - usually managable with 20mg paroxetine but exacerbated by stress at work- also diagnosed with C-PTSD. Take diazepam as and when to deal with most severe panic attacks. Psychiatrist assured me I could still take diazepam with this drug. After 1st dose I felt drowsy, spaced out and dizzy with heavy legs. I actually fell down a small flight of stairs in my house and later on in the day slipped on the main staircase. Decided to persevere and take another in the evening. Woke up feeling like a zombie, could hardly stay awake, headache and on edge. Discontinued. That night, woke up TERRIFIED and spent next day (today) either having intense panic attacks or wanting to commit suicide"


"I have advanced breast cancer in treatment.  Xeloda has been better than being stuck in the chemo suite at my oncologist's office all the time.  I just take the pills and they are pretty easy to take, compared to the infusions. Now I just have to go once a month to get my Taxotere.

My nurse also has me putting lots of lotion on my hands and feet to prevent side effects, so far my hands are just dry sometimes. The best part is my hair is coming back. If I'd known this drug was available earlier, I'd have asked for it."


"I was hesitant to start using Restasis after reading the reviews. However, I was very desperate, suffering from severe dry eye, corneal scarring/dry spots, and ocular rosacea. My eyes were just giving me too much trouble and I was using high-end lubricant eye drops, compresses daily, fish oil pills, and consuming a lot of water. I was doing all I could to avoid Restasis. At the end of my rope, my Dr. prescribed Restasis along with a steroid drop. I have been using both for a month now and can already tell a very big difference. My eyes feel normal again and much less sensitive, no burning or scratching or tearing. It is wonderful. I hope that the benefits continue as long as I use the drops. I am a very happy Restasis customer!"


"I am posting this review a few days after my last one... Before I gave it 10 points for its effectiveness. Yes, it helped my son, but at what price... He started having nightmares and was very aggressive toward me and my husband. I was not aware of this side effect, but once I started researching everything made perfect sense. We stopped the medicine after taking it for 3,5 days. I will never give it to my children. I am ready for another flu, not this medicine. It is way to strong! In older children it can even lead to a suicide. Please don't repeat my mistake and do not give it to your loved ones."


"I read all the great comments here and talked to my doctor and tried this medicine. I guess you may have to give it more time than I did. I tried it for a few nights and it really didn't work for me. But I have trouble falling asleep as well as staying asleep. "


"I just turned 47. I started taking Multaq in January after having 3 ablations and trying numerous medicines that made me feel like crap. The one thing I have noticed now is that if I forget to take it when I should, my heart actually starts to ache. My initial heart rhythm was PSVT prior to my first ablation."


"Just wanted to share my experience. Woke up in the middle of the night 2 weeks ago with a massive panic attack that I thought was a heart attack. Went to the ER two nights in a row because they just wouldn't stop. Saw my doctor the next day and was diagnosed with general anxiety and panic disorder. Was prescribed 20 MG prozac (fluoxetine). First week was horrible, almost all my symptoms increased couldn't eat lost my sex drive. It's now a week in and I can't even tell you how much better I feel. Everything is back to normal eating like crazy, sex drive is back this drug is a miracle. It will probably worsen your symptoms at first but think of it as an investment and keep pushing through and you should feel better. Hope this helps anyone."


"Started Adipex 2 weeks ago. Lost 20 lbs so far! I even skip the pill 1 to 2 times a week. The energy loss is aweful those days though."


"This was the worst experience I had in my life. I had hallucinations and my b/p was 206/126. It was given IM in the hospital and then at again at the treatment facility. I wrote a letter in my room in case they found me dead.  I fought the nurse not to give me another one."


"It is fourth blood pressure pill for me. It feels like it is only partly working. My blood pressure problems are usually happening after anxiety attacks of which doctors says I have but don't know why."


"I was given this for spasms in upper spine and cervical region. I had an anaphylactic reaction to shots and have died. My throat closed up, making it very difficult to breathe, my sinuses swelled and got blocked, inner ear became inflamed/infected, making it difficult and painful to swallow. I experienced intense pain at the injection sites, numbness burning and became unable to use my arms. I developed pneumonia, stomach upset, horrible headaches and pain (worse than typical migraines), general weakness and malaise and lost my voice. I had to pull my throat open grabbing the skin on my throat to gasp for air. The symptoms have lasted for over 2 weeks. I was given prednisone to reduce the inflammation of my throat so I could breathe and swallow a little easier. Horrible!"


"I started to take this med one week ago for my gad. Im feeling a bit "lighter" in the head but i also have a bit more anxiety and i feel dizzy. I've read that this is totally normal, and i have been an benzo addict so i had EXTREME anxiety when i was in rehab getting off that stuff. Now my life is looking brighter, and I have a lot of faith in this med. Just went from 37mg to 75mg once a day. I'm looking forward to share my experience here in one month :)"


"After years of flopping about  at 52 I spoke to the doctor who recommended cialis  5mg daily for 3 months. He said it should start to work after 4 or 5 days so  2 days in we gave it a go and not one slip out . It stayed up for the job whilst my poor long suffering wife delivered twice and it stayed upright until I delivered my deposit too. I can't wait till day 4 or 5 as I feel like a new man. Bring on bed time as I am planning on getting my money's worth. Delighted ..."


"Covered under family pact in California. Insertion was painful for a few seconds and cramps for a few minutes then just general tenderness. Took about 3 months to fully adjust to it. Experienced more hair shedding and painful periods. It failed and I GOT PREGNANT! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!"


"I have had both knees arthroscopic in the last year and half. I ended up reinjurying one knee and when this happened the other knee begins to swell and hurt because it is compensating for the injury knee. I found out I have Pesanserine bursitis, which is very painful especially going up stairs. I was beginning to shuffle from one room to another. I had two Zipsor left from a sample pack I got from the doctor. I try to hang on to them in case my pain got worse. Since my doctors office had not received any samples I ask if they could call in a prescription. I didn't care about the cost. Zipsor has helped the pain and swelling tremendously in my knees. Since I have arthritis in my knees I know this will be my go to as needed pain reliever."


"There are some bad reviews about Kyleena - so I wanted to share my experience. This IUD is for women that have not yet had children as the IUD is smaller than the Mirena. I expected pressure during the insertion process but I felt pain. On a scale from 1 to 10 it was a strong 6. I may have a high pain tolerance because my doctor laughed & said when she got hers she started cursing at the ceiling. Right after I felt fine & the nurse looked at me funnily. A couple of hours later I knew why. She expected me to have some severe cramping immediately after - but it took my uterus an hour to deliver those. They lasted through the night. It’s been almost a week and everything is okay! Using condoms until my OB is sure the IUD is in the right place."


"While on Bystolic my feet and arms were numb. My blood sugars became severely elevated from 112 glucose up to 249. This blood pressure pill is not a good choice for my diabetic condition. I was only on Bystolic for one week and now eight weeks later I am still suffering from foot and heel pain. However, going back on Vasotec my blood sugars have dropped back down to 112."


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

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

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

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


"I had panic attacks (Night Terrors) for over a year or more and had lost hope for  medication to help. Since the first night of taking Tofranil, I slept normal without the 3-4 am wake up(night terror) and have been free of them for 12 years without changing my medication. I am so thankful to have finely found and inexpensive medicine that actually worked from the first dose."


"I have been on this medication off and on for several years and have had Fibromyalgia for over 20 years. Cyclobenzaprine along with Lyrica have allowed me to live a somewhat normal life. I get a far more restful sleep and am able to sleep through the night instead of waking every hour or so.

My previous Doctor retired and it took me almost 2 years to find another . For 18 of those months I was without medications,( walk in clinics would not prescribe these medications) my quality of life diminished and I came very close to losing my job. Once I found a new Doctor and I was back on my medications,  within a few weeks I was able to function again. For me Cyclobenzaprine and Lyrica have been the perfect combo to help manage my FM"


"I got on the Nexplanon the same day I had my baby, Feb 9 2016, I have gained over 24 pounds, I just recently began having headaches almost everyday, my ankles swell up a lot, and i'm extra moody.  The great thing about this birth control is you don't get pregnant and its nothing you have to worry about.  I got the nexplanon right after I had my first baby and my side affects were extremely different.  I got depressed, I lost a lot of weight(which I loved), I had a lot of energy, but I had random 3 week long periods.  I don't really recommend any woman to get this but then again every woman is different."


"Been on Livalo for two months now and it did not change my cholesterol levels. Still at 285/212. No symptoms or side effects. Just does not work for me."


"Honestly, this was the worst birth control I have ever taken or even heard about. I had it in for 10 months and of those 10 I bled for 8 months. 7 months of those 8 were straight bleeding. I would spot for a day a month and then after that it would go right back into a full period. I also experienced fatigue, low sex drive, and depression. Make sure you consider the side effects!!!"


"It really works!! Ive got cold sores twice before, the first outbreak was in the middle of my bottom lip and the corner of my mouth- at the same time!! It was so bad I still have a faint scar!! The second one was bad as well. This time by the time I felt the burning tingle and ran to the bathroom mirror there were already 2 tiny blisters!! I got Abreva immediately, but all reviews and directions say get it BEFORE the first blister shows. Well it didn't make the 2 tiny blisters I already had disappear (I normally have a cluster of 10+) but it made it so there was NO redness & it stopped any new blisters. Normally it takes 1-2 weeks to heal, I'm on day 3 and I'm amazed! Its expensive, but its 110% worth it"


"Zolpidem does work fast. However, I have a right arm that goes to sleep on me easily. So if I take zolpidem, I make sure that I fall asleep in a position that will not cut the circulation in my arm."


"Doc prescribed this medication to control my high heart rate after a 3 day hospitalization due to supra ventricular tachycardia. I had horrible side effects. Terrible insomnia, sometimes awake for 24 hours. Palpitations. Heavy congested feeling in chest. Anxiety. I was only on it for 10 days! Switched to metoprolol and after 2 days started to feel tons better!!!"


"I switched to Portia 12 days ago when I started spotting from another birth control (Alesse). I just wanted to say I started taking Portia on Tuesday and have been crying for consecutive days from Friday to Tuesday out of no where. I have also found it very hard to get studying and made me a much lazier person. I will be discontinuing this birth control today because my mood swings were affecting me too much."


"When I first starting taking Lo Loestrin Fe, it was the first birth control pill I had taken, so I was expecting to become a little moody (which had subsided after about two weeks), but besides that I was completely fine. The first month on the pill I had a little breakthrough bleeding (very little brown discharge-- only for a couple of days), and this too had subsided after the first month. Ever since then I have had no period, no weight gain, no cramps, no breakthrough bleeding, no spotting, no nothing!"


"I have been taking Cymbalta for 15 months now. First 30mg and then six months later up it to 60mgs/day. It was prescribed to me for clinical depression.  It works for the depression and I also noticed it has worked very well for anxiety also.  My MD and I have discussed that I probably have had this anxiety disorder for some time and curtailed with the depression, Cymbalta has done well for both.  Side effects are weight gain (5-10 lbs), and bad withdrawal effects if you miss a day or two - headaches.  Otherwise, the medication has worked very well and I feel like I can live my life again."


"My experience: Painful insertion but I expected that since I've never had children. There was a lot of bloating, cramping,  and breast tenderness in the first couple of weeks. I used Pamprin and a heating pad on my belly and that helped. About a week after insertion came the brown sludge  and lasted about ten days.  The first month was a study in misery but after that my periods stopped and it's been a breeze with some occasional light cramping and spotting. The only drawback for me personally is that I am 51 years old and perimenopausal so not having periods makes it impossible for me to track my cycle. But overall I am delighted."


"This really did help with my allergies and asthma symptoms I sometimes experienced. I took this for 2 years and never on a daily basis, but as needed (when my allergies would act up). It took me a while to figure this out, but I have now determined that when taking this medicine, I am very lethargic the next day, depressed feeling, and extremely agitated. For a while I had just concluded I was a moody person, but after taking one, seeing how I felt, and then going off of it, I put two and two together. Literally the next day without the pill, I feel back to my old self. So though it did help for allergies, for me the pros don't outweigh the cons."


"I have had the Nexplanon since Dec. 27, 2016

I got my first period at the end of January and it lasted about a month and a half. In March of 2017 I didn't bleed for close to three weeks and then started bleeding again March 28th and have been bleeding every since. I have gained about 13 lbs so far since getting the birth control. Although for now the weight gain isn't a deal breaker for me but the bleeding is..  I am trying to be very patient to see how my body adjusts to the implant. It has been three months so far and I have my fingers crossed that my cycle will go away for awhile."


"I need bi-lateral knee replacement but due to being only 50 we are trying to put it off if we can.  Had both knees injected April 24/17.  No numbing used and the injections were quite unpleasant.  I'm on day 4 and feel minimal difference in the right knee and still have dreadful pain in the left.  Unless something changes in the next couple of days I most likely will not do this again.  Have opted to get the surgery."


"POISON....two days on this med & I thought I was going to die. Totally  confused, chills,  fever ( which didn't have before) extreme ab & flank pain.  Sicker than when I started it for a UTI.  Caused a gastritis flareup  and today I now have upper respiratory infection......

This medicine is AWFUL, ALL PHARMS are killing us"


"About 4 years ago I started having early-morning awakening/insomnia/anxiety after excessive alcohol consumption the night before. Discovered that I could prevent this by taking diazepam my wife had lying around. When this ran out my GP prescribed lorazepam 0.5 mg. Gradually this lost effectiveness (tolerance) so I quit, also cut down on alcohol. A year ago I had a stressful situation and started 0.5 mg daily for a month, but was able to stop again with no side effects. However, my early-morning awakening/insomnia/anxiety had become chronic and independent of alcohol. A month ago I started 0.5 mg daily for 10 days, had a severe withdrawal, had to taper off. So, yes, like others wrote here: it works great, but not for chronic use."


"I started taking this medication 10 years ago. My doctor told me it was non-narcotic and non-habit forming.  Up to that time I had never had any addictions to drugs or alcohol, but unfortunately I am dependent on this drug for sleep.  It does however work very well with few side effects and I wake up feeling refreshed.  "


"I just got diagnosed with type 2. My doctor prescribed Invokana and metformin from the beginning. My sugars went down to normal by the second week. I  am losing so much weight. No side effects yet. Miracle medicine for me"


"Used with my throat cancer and it helped numb my throat to be able to eat. I lost 200 pounds but this helped me survive and be able to eat most foods... Soft ones anyway... I know opioids are a bitch but without these I would have died of starvation"


"Honestly , This works pretty well for me. It really decreases my anxiety and gently soothes me to sleep. The capsule isn't that big and is relatively easy to swallow. I have the option to also add it to food and it doesn't really make it taste any different , except dot a very light sweetness. This pill actually , oddly , very rarely gets caught in my throat , unless I take it with very little liquid , it's very easy to swallow. It really s also a very nice sedative for me."


"Had taken Armour Thyroid for 20 years but starting 2 years ago I experienced brain fog, aches and pains which was thought to be fibromyalgia, no energy, severe headaches, insomnia and hard to get out of bed and always tired. I have taken many tests, scans and seen many Doctors during that time and couldn't find an answer to my complaints. I felt like I was loosing my mind and in desperation began searching the Internet and came across information about Armour.  I understand Forest Labs bought Armour in 2014 and Actavis bought them in 2015 - lo and behold!!! I saw complaints which were identical to mine and quit taking them on Sec. 22, 2015.  I felt better within 2 days and am angry that I lost 2 years of my life."


"I'm a 59 year old male who has experienced moderate erectile dysfunction for the past 10-12 years.  Over the past 18 months BPH has also been an issue.  In the past I tried Viagra, 25 mg of Cialis and Levitra all with good results and varying side effects  Now I decided to try Cialis for daily use for both Erectile dysfunction and Benign Prostate Hyperplasia.  I've only been using it for 5 days but I've had a couple of firm erections, morning wood, BPH seems better already (getting up less in the night and better stream) and I also can feel myself getting a little hard just when thinking about sex.  Hopefully this will last and get better."


"I was in a very bad place at the time I started taking it. My doctor wanted to ween me off of Effexor after 7 years of 300mg of it. I'll tell you coming off the Effexor is like coming off hard drugs like heroine! I'm not sure if the Zeldox (what they call geodon in Canada) was helping or making it worse. I officially got off the effexor after 10 weeks of weening and I'm still currently on 80mg of Zeldox. I will say you have to eat with this med or else you're really only giving your body half of what you're putting in it. I'm a week into lithium at 600mg. I'm feeling fantastic, but I'm thinking about weening off of the Zeldox, I do not believe its being effective and I'm just getting negative side effects from it."


"Had panic attacks and social anxiety starting in adolescence. Powered through until postpartum depression after my second child and began having severe mood swings, irritability and panic attacks (dizzy spells, heart racing, fainting, chest pain) even when I wasn't feeling stress. Started Effexor on 37.5mg and had almost immediate success (within a week). Felt a little hyper and would feel like I was getting a low jolt of electricity through my legs, but otherwise fine. Gained a bit of weight but I think that's only because I was finally able to eat without stomach pain. Increased to 70mg after two months when panic attacks began again, love this drug! Finally have a normal life."


"Used this a month ago for allergic conjunctivitis. Thought it worked. Have allergic conjunctivitis again. Used this product and like others my eyes are swollen and blood red. Hope to see Allergist tomorrow for help."


"This is the third med I've tried for anxiety and mild depression. Been on it for a week and I hate it so much. I am so dizzy, I have major diarrhea and feel worse than I started. Contacting my doc in the am  and changing asap."


"I was super against taking medication. I've started dealing with anxiety (some depression) for awhile now. I got prescribed Ativan months ago, and never took it. I thought I could handle myself again but then my relationship started to fail because of my over thinking. I went back to the doctor, and decided to try it. She prescribed me .50 3 times a day. I took a full one at night after a bad panic attack, and within 30 minutes I was calm and slept through the entire night. I have only been taking a half morning and mid afternoon and full at night because it does make you feel tired. My brain is in a slight fog, but nothing crazy, I still know whats going on though :) Give it a try if you are suffering. You will know after 1."


"I have been off Prozac for about 4 weeks now...after starting 2 years ago for a terrible depression/sadness/menopause. Wanted to take a Holiday to see what would happen. When on Prozac side effects like decrease sexual drive and slight weight gain, otherwise it put my menopause symptoms in control Decrease my hot flashes, helped my sadness, and gave relief for some mild OCD that I have had for years. Now when I am off the medicine I notice and increase in my OCD behaviors. Not concentrating as well at work. Sexual appetite is still not that great despite a wonderful patient husband (could still just be the menopause). Hot flashes have not really returned and I do not feel overwhelmingly sad. I will start Prozac tomorrow and see if it help with OCD."


"Up to 800mg seems to work about once every 2nd day still in excruciating pain and it seems the medical fraternity don't give a damn."


"I have only been on Tekturna for 9 days. The effect was immediate. I am also on a calcium channel blocker (Tiazac) and hydrochlorothiazide. I was put on Tekturna because of palpitations experienced with Diovan (ugly drug in my opinion, same company produces both however). The palpitations were pretty bad on Diovan, 24 hour monitor by EKG etc. After a few days of substituting Tekturna for Diovan, there are no more palpitations."


"This would be my second month on Junel. I've been on Birth Control for about 10 years now. I changed due to spotting and increased mood swings with my previous birth control. Since the switch I have had shorter periods about 2-3 days, but I have gained major weight and increased appetite. I switched up my regular exercise routine and still have not managed to drop the extra 7 lbs ;("


"I wrote my first report in Mid-October of 2014.  I have not had any alcohol at all since that post, have reduced my dosage to 1 pill first thing in the morning.  I am a very social person, and entertained a great deal.  I was very very worried that I would relapse if faced with the availability of alcohol.  I have sailed through all my seasonal parties, early spring get togethers and weekly "wings and beer" with friends with not one slip.  My husband and daughter are huge supporters.  As I write this, I have various wines and liquors in my cabinet - serve to guests - and have no interest at all in consuming booze in any form.  Again, I state that Campral saved my life."


"I was given this in IV before surgey. I immediately became anxious and could not sit still . The PA said "oh yes this happens sometimes". They had to give me Benadryl to calm me down. It was the worst experience I have had -out of control and jumpy. "


"Limited improvement after 4 months, developed bad rash and MD refused to continue medication."


"I've been on thyroid medication 49 years, I spent my first 38 on Synthroid and various t4 formulas, I could not stand the up and down of Synthroid, it never was steady. Every time I went to the Dr. It was adjusted, it could not regulate me and most Dr's. Just played with raising and lowering the mg levels.
Finally a person I new told me I should see her Dr. I did, and that was the beginning of a beautiful relationship with Armour Thyroid. I've never felt better,  my bad symptoms went away, and I feel almost human. It holds me steady for longer periods. sometimes the patient knows best, regardless of what the blood tests say. Armour contains unknown ingredients that can't be isolated into a synthetic pill form, Armour is natural, and best."


"I've had chronic constipation all my adult life. Tried Linzess, it worked for a month then stopped. Doctor started me on Amitiza (24 mg) and it is a miracle. I've been on for four months now. After a life of 7-10 days between bowel motions, I now go comfortably 3-4 times per week. No pain, very little gas. It's a miracle for me."
