"On 900mg a day for Neuropathy, has cut the pain down and helped my schizophrenia and rapid cycling bipolar drastically as a side effect! Much less anxious too. Really hopeful for the future. I also take Tramadol 4x50mg daily but these only had a slight effect, no slurred speech or drowsiness so far. Get well soon everyone :-)"


"INSERTION: Personally, the insertion was not bad for me; it felt like a mild cramp and I was able to go right back to work after. I took 800mg of ibuprofen 40 min before my appointment so that may have helped.

POST-INSERTION: First few days after the insertion, I experienced an on set of cramps (as expected) and took ibuprofen as directed. What was unexpected was that my period did not go away after I got it a few days later.. so I bled for about 7 weeks. However, keep in mind your body takes 3-6 mos. to adjust - I waited it out (diva cups are a LIFE saver). Thankfully by the 8th week, the bleeding stopped.  It's now nearing the 11th week and I feel pretty much back to normal and relieved knowing I'm protected from unwanted pregnancies"


"Extreme diarrhea  first and second day  Just getting started  for 7 days"


"I cut my Accutane medication short one month because of the damage it did on my lips....for the most part, my crazy acne cleared but I still had mild breakouts (especially during my menstrual cycle). My dermatologist prescribed me Epiduo and a certain wash. I'd recommend applying it around 3-4 times a week before bed because YES it does dry out the skin but that's how it clears the acne and renews your skin. After a couple of days of use, you will feel a burning sensation but it's tolerable--just keep your face hydrated the next morning by moisturizing (I find morroccon oil or vitamin e cream helpful) OVERALL, GREAT product that does the job and makes you feel confident again....no pain, no gain! results within a month!"


"This Medication is HORRIBLE! My doctor put me on this treatment for 7 days and take two pills a day. Well let me tell you I took this medication about 10 years ago and I could not stop vomiting, having chills and just tired. Now that I’m 29 my Doctor put me on it again. I’m on on my first day and I feel like I am going to die!!! I am taking any more!! I will be calling her to put my on the gel form!! Please STAY AWAY"


"I am 45 and I literally spent all my professional carreer, that has been so far extremely successful, worrying about public audiences starting from 5 units up to hundreds. No one would ever think that I have this problem since I am extremely sociable and outspoken. Schoolfriends always thought that I would have turned into an actor. In real life I have lived up to 42 in a nightmare for public audiences that I CANNOT avoid due to my public role (CEO of a technology firm). I have been worrying for public speech 2-3 months prior to the event. I discovered propanolol through a family friend who works in an orchestra. Miracle is the right word! A big fantastic miracle. I now look forward for events, walk up to the stage with no problem!"


"I was given methylprednisolone for treatment of severe poison ivy! It relieved the swelling and helped me sleep. Not only did it help with that, I have been having swelling in my right leg and severe pain in my right heel since a few months after a hip replacement. The second day on treatment NO pain in my right heel and no swelling for the duration of this 6 day treatment~ I hope it continues!!! Love this product so far."


"It really works!!! But I gained 14 pounds"


"I had the Mirena put in aprox. 5 days ago. I'm 23 have had 4 miscarriages and in decided I will not try anymore. I asked my doctor about the IUD and he was very happy in my decision. Anyway to start off with yes it hurt like hell. Then I felt fine got up from the table. Walked to the front desk and nearly passed out my blood pressure dropped well below normal and they said it is normal. I recovered in full. Was able to drive home. I have had mild cramping and just spotting not even enough to wear a pantie liner. I have had some pimples pop up but totally worth it. Tonight me and my husband had sex and all the pain I had felt during sex before has gone away. It's amazing. He didn't have to be careful either. Matter of fact I can't believe it"


"Struggling with treatment resistant depression for over 17 years. Very hopeful this would work. Well after the first five days I had an "EXTREME REACTION." After the third day started to fell a little confused, no appetite. But on the six day on my way to work I missed my exit on the highway. Things only got worse, stumbling, forgetfulness, etc. On my way home I started jumping curbs on highway and trying to drive into the other lanes of oncoming traffic. So confused i didn't know which direction I was traveling and could not get off the highway. I put others and inlcuding myself into so much harm. Thank God I was pulled over and taken to hospital via ambulance. Scared the holy crap out of me. Taken off this drug immediately."


"I've been taking Prevacid for over 10 years, 1 in the morning, that's it. I've had acid reflux since I was 13 years old, used to keep bottles of tums in my car, my night stand, my pocket. I suffered for years. Not anymore. I'm 53, I eat drink whatever I want, hardly ever get indigestion anymore. Sure works for me."


"This drug is dangerous.  The side effects are horrible and the withdrawal process to get off of the drug is arguably worse, if that is even possible.  This drug should be taken off the market."


"I have been taking Zarah for almost 3 months. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and working on getting healthier to try and have a child. When I first took Zarah I got these major headaches at first and tender breast but after three weeks the headaches went away. I haven't had my period in a little over a year because of my PCOS so when I got my first one it was painful but since than they have been easier. My skin looks great and haven't gained any weight. I still have tender breast but part due to my PCOS. I'd recommend it if you can bare with the first two or three weeks. It has been better than others I've tried. Also no mood swings either."


"I was never able to sleep through the night until my doctor prescribed Ambien."


"Awful!!! Worst acne of my life, heavy periods, weight gain, and discharge. Been taking for 3 months and stopped now for a week face is finally clearing up. Won't take it again."


"I've had Type 2 diabetes since 1990 from pregnancy. I've been on the pills, insulin, insulin pump. Before getting on this medication I was on 100 units of Lantus and 60 of Humalog. A1C has been as high as 9.6. On my last appointment before getting on this medication my A1c was 8.6. In 3 -4 months I've lost 20 pounds, more energy, fasting between 90-130. I'm only on Lantus 52 units now. The best thing is my A1C went down to 7.6 which had not been that low for 9 years. Double my water intake. Yeast infection a couple of times but none since. This has been a life saver for me."


"I find that this causes me to only awaken with a severe headache.  It can also cause a very restless and agitated feeling making it difficult to fall asleep."


"I started taking Contrave beginning of October 2017, so up to four pills a day and I have lost almost 20 lbs.  I didn't really have any weird side effects, never got nauseous, no headaches.  Really thirsty, so I am drinking much more water now.  So, other than the weight loss, here are the GOOD things that happened to me:  I went from only sleeping 4 or 5 hours per night to a full 8 hours every single night since I started these.  I haven't slept like this in years.  Also, I don't crave alcohol like I did.  Big help for me, as I loved my wine.  I do get hungry, but my willpower is much stronger now.  It's not like Phen-Fen that took away all food cravings for me, but I like how I am making better choices."


"This medication works well for me. It took a very long time before I was finally diagnosed with Rosacea. I kept hoping I would just out grow adolescent acne even all the way into my late twenties. The only side effect I have encountered is yeast infections. I started taking acidophillus which helps but am now going to consult a nutritionist to see if they can help diet wise. The benefits of the drug outway the side effect but I hope to find a happy balance."


"2nd time on Celexa. First was in 2011. I weaned myself of. Started 20mg daily this year due to extreme anxiety and panic attacks. No I'll side effects. It's a blessing to me."


"I was on this for 2.5 weeks. I was on a 50mg dosage and I don't know if it was too much for my body (I weigh under 110) but the severity of my panic and anxiety worsened. At first it made have insomnia and then after a week it was the complete opposite - uncontrollably falling asleep immediately about 30 minutes after taking the dose and it became incredibly hard to wake up in the morning. It would feel like lifting 400 lbs to make my legs move in the morning and I would still feel tired after 14 hours of sleep. My fearful thoughts became worse and completely clouded my head, and I had this overwhelming feeling of impending doom resulting in panic attacks. Also loss of appetite from a combination of the extreme dry/cracked mouth and nausea."


"I got my nexplanon inserted a month ago and overall the first month has been fine. My period started the same day it usually starts. Normally, my periods cramps are unbearable so I wanted to get Nexplanon to see if it would help. When I recieved my period this month it was still as heavy and lasted for a day longer but I didn't have any cramps. If you're looking into nexplanon do not let all of the negative reviews scare you just do it and see because no matter what everyone else says...everyone reacts differently . I rated this birth control a nine because I have experienced some crazzzy mood changes, but it was only for the first 2 weeks! Don't give up if you're angry for the first two weeks just go with it , it will get better! :)"


"For me this drug causede headaches everyday, nausea and gagging, and dry mouth all the time. I noticed a change in personality - easily agitated, I was "distant" and lost my "affectionate side". My doctor made me come off it slowly before I started Concerta. Coming off it is just as bad."


"I need a new knee and get Synvisc shots every 6 months. Not so much pain, but often uncomfortable and the knee is very useless after about 4 months. Found Celebrex and took it. As package said, it took a couple of weeks to do much, but then woke up pain free one morning. Amazing. I have a very stressful job though and seem to have developed a heart condition. Did Celebrex contribute? I do not know, but have discontinued its use."


"I had to stop taking Flomax because it made my sinuses completely clogged. I could not sleep because I had to keep my mouth open to breathe, which caused dry mouth and sore throat. Never got any sleep on it. It also caused retrograde ejaculation, where the semen goes back into the bladder instead of out the end of the penis. The short time I was on it helped the urination a little but, but not a lot."


"I love this medication. I use it on my skin. I only wish I could get enough to last me the entire month. I usually run out in a week but really clear up that week."


"Not sure about this one yet. I have been on it for only five days now and it's a roller coaster ride. Sometimes I feel okay and other times I feel like I'm going crazy. My doctor prescribed me to take 15mg twice daily which I think was way too much to start out with. I literally felt like I was going to lose my mind because of the thoughts I was having. I also think this has increased my depression and feeling of isolation. I know that this medication takes time to work in your system and that it can make symptoms worse while it is working so I'm going to try and ride it out a little longer. I've cut my dosage in half to 7.5 twice daily and I'm going to see if that helps."


"My total cholesterol was at 190 taking 80mg of Lipitor, also LDL-P level was at 1600 among other extremely high levels of sub-cholesterol levels. Since taking Repatha 140mg injections once every two weeks my numbers have tanked! Now total cholesterol is at 99 my LDL-P is at 538! and triglycerides at 80. No side effects other then a runny nose for a few hours after my first injection. I hope they find out it lowers the heart attack rate and stroke rate. What a miracle drug so far!"


"Awful drug, didn't really do much for depression or pain, just made me numb.  And good luck getting off of it, 9 weeks later and I'm still having withdrawal symptoms."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"So glad I read reviews. I ate light on Sat. On Sunday, I refrigerated both 6oz bottles and two 16 oz bottles of ginger ale.  Mixed 1 prep and ginger ale to 16 oz. line. Drank it with a large milkshake straw and sucked on lemon sliced between gulps.No problem with taste or getting it down. Then drank the ginger ale remaining in the bottle. 15 min. later I drank 8 oz. hot tea and honey. 15 min after that I drank another 8 oz. hot tea and honey. 15 min. after that I drank 8 oz. water. 15 minutes after that I drank 8 oz. water. Repeat with 2nd dose. Had colonoscopy on Monday. All is well!"


"One Maxalt-MLT usually gets rid of the migraine in an hour or less. Occasionally, I need another one 2 hours later to really get rid of it for good. Rarely, even the second one did not quite do it for me. But this is still the most effective medicine that's worked for me, after trying 8-10 other medicines (over-the-counter and prescription)."


"I was given this drug for complex migraines and the morning after the first dose resulted in altered consciousness and anisocoria where the left eye was dilated and less reactive to light than the other eye. I was promptly told to discontinue the drug by my doctor and have ever since had more blurred vision - slight double vision at times - and a frequent manifestation of the conditions mentioned. I've had people mention the anisocoria many times, always the same effect."


"I got the birth control in March 2015 and it is now almost June 2015. I have either been spotting with cramps 90% of the time. The only good thing about it is it prevents me from getting pregnant... Really hate this stuff."


"I've been taking this for almost 2 years. This pill actually stopped spotting that was occurring from my previous pill. No side effects, no weight gain, no mood swing, none of those. Not only that, my period is even shorter and lighter (or that's just with my aging). I am very healthy active late 40's, exercise regularly. Even being on this pill I was able to lose over 50 pounds. I will continue to take this until I don't have to anymore."


"Everything was all good until the 5 month I've been bleeding for 2 months now off and on.  Some spotting mostly had break though bleeding.  I had to switch asap. Never been on a birth control pill that made me bleed its annoying..."


"My doctor says this medicine is not for ear pressure, but it sure helps me. I battle allergies all year long, but eliminating gluten has helped tremendously. I now take 1/4 tablet in the morning and again in the afternoon if needed. I NEVER take the full tablet. If my symptoms are really bad, I take 1/2 tablet more frequently, rather than a full tablet as directed. It can cause a racing heart and insomnia, so decrease dosage and only take what you need to take the edge off of your symptoms. Trust your body (often times more than your doctor)."


"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."


"This medicine is really helpful with voices but my paranoia and depression has got worse"


"It's very good, I'm on 10mg now. I used to take it couple of years ago, and felt much better, so after 2 years I stopped taking it. Now again I felt very anxious, and after one week on citalopram it's much easier for me to socialize.

No more need for hydroxizine or valium. The only one side effect is I can not "finish" if you know what I mean;)"


"A miracle medicine for me. I take it with Effexor XR 100mg, I immediately felt relief from my depression and anxiety. I had more energy than I knew what to do with (bordering restlessness though), no side effects except for the ants in the pants feeling. Tried several different medications, and this is by far the best. The samples were great, I just hope I can afford to pay for it...I hope it helps you like it's helped me."


"Commit are the ONLY thing that ever enabled me not to smoke. Patches, gum, hypnosis - totally useless. First day I took Commit I was over cigs. The prob is that Commit are HIGHLY addictive - as bad as cigs. I found myself later sometimes buying a pack of cigs to take a break from Commit! I used Commit for 12 years. Never was without one in my mouth during waking hrs. I would eat meals with one in my mouth, it was that bad. Recent surgery required I get 100 % off nicotine or DIE, and that finally did it, now I'm out. Commit will get you to stop smoking cigs but then you need a plan to stop Commit too. Don't be fooled, Commit is an addictive drug"


"I seem to have a different experience with it than most people. I've only been given the injectable form in an IV while in the hospital before 2-3 times, in a fair degree of pain on each occasion. While it did work well for a short time, maybe 45min, I not only burned through it far faster than I did other pain medicines, but I got a nasty side effect of a truly horrific headache each time."


"I tried Ambien about a year ago for my inability to stay asleep.  I have several times a year where I wake up between 2:30 and 4:30 every morning for a few months at a time.  For me, Ambien worked.  I slept soundly through the night until my alarm woke me up and I really enjoyed it. I was unaware of my certain side effect until my wife insisted we had a conversation I had no memory of.  So I started asking around to people I worked with and sure enough I had quite a few instances where I had full conversations with people the mornings after I used Ambien and had no memory of it.  It got to the point where I had to speak to my bosses and ask them if I had any assignments I was not up to date on.  Luckily, I was not."


"Works very well for migraines and heart rhythm problems"


"Lost 8.8 lbs week one. A little jittery and dry mouth for side effects. So far so good!"


"30 to 40 min after taking migraine was twice as bad and both arms felt like they where on fire, another one to add to the list of things I react strangely to."


"Does its job. I've always had random nausea around the time of periods, so I cannot say Chateal is to blame. First few weeks I was especially nauseous but it went away in time. No weight gain, no extra acne, no horrible mood fluctuations. One comment I must make is that it did noticeably diminish my sex drive."


"Have had a great experience with vraylar. Went from oversleeping on a regular basis (on risperidone) to sleeping a healthy 8-10 hours. Feel sharper, more social, and generally in a better mood. Unfortunately have been dealing with insomnia and on and off nausea. It's been two weeks since starting. Overall the positives outweigh the negatives and I'm hoping the side effects subside over time. Give it a shot."


"If you are debating on whether to take this, please don't hesitate. I was in car accident Dec 2012 and have whiplash/cervical strain. Injured my neck and shoulder. I was in pain for the past 9 months and no doctor would prescribe me narcotics due to Ohio law. I was miserable, crying, irritable and nothing I took (IB, Tylenol) wouldn't touch the pain. I got a prescription for Gabapentin, which I am allergic to BAD side effects. Finally the doc gave me Lyrica, within 15 min of taking pain GONE. I feel like I'm back to normal again (like the day before accident). Lyrica is a miracle although pricey. There is a program you can get through Lyrica website to qualify for free prescription. Try it."


"I haven't gotten pregnant yet, but around the same time I started taking Gianvi (switched from Yaz to save money) I lost 10 lbs and cannot seem to gain it back no matter how much I eat.  My acne is also back, which I really dislike.  Not sure if I will actually switch back though since I am a college student and $20 more every three months is a lot for me."


"Summary: effective treatment of ADHD, awful if you have anxiety or BED/anorexia
This was the first drug I took for ADHD. It was extremely effective. I was able to get all my work done in my classes with time management I had never had before. However, the side effects can be extreme. It made me extremely self conscious. I would apologize after virtually every sentence in a conversation because I was so scared something I did/said would be perceived as rude. I became obsessed with my skin and weight, developed severe dermatillomania and I lost about 35 pounds

Vyvanse crash is awful. In the middle of the day as it would wear off I would suddenly become extremely agitated, snapping at people over something as small as the sound of their voice"


"I too was excited at first to try it.  It was great the first month with the exception of very vivid dreams sometimes nightmares.  I would often wake crying.  i felt great but then reading these reviews, i find that my recent mood changes have been because of this medication.  I have been blaming PMS on everything but everything gets on my nerves, my dogs barking, the clicking of their nails on the floor, even my kids eating and of course my husband can't do anything right.  I was very pleased with the medication at first.  felt like a new person, but now i see that the way i have been feeling could be because of the Viibryd.  It didn't even dawn on me.  I wish I had read these reviews sooner. I am going to contact my doctor today"


"I have had the worst periods ever since I started at 13.  Extremely heavy, full of huge clots, very long, and very painful. I am now 21 and finally found something that helps so far. Just finishing up my first month of it and my period was only a week long (mine usually last 3 months  ). I'm still having a lot of pain which used to signal me that a clot was coming down but I haven't had any clots. Only side effect I'm having is the moodiness. So happy with this medication so far!"


"Doxepin does not help me fall asleep. It does help me stay asleep. I suffer from anxiety and depression and that's why I can't sleep. To those people who have experienced extreme tiredness the next day this also happens to me even though I take it as the manufacturer suggest for Sleep maintenance which is to take on a completely empty stomach 3 hours after a meal. Otherwise the onset is delayed even further. By several hours leading to next day sedation even more. Even when taking the proper way it has a 15-hour half-life which can still leave you tired and groggy the next day which I also experience even taking it correctly."


"I hard a hard time getting pregnant the first time.4 years.  I heard a bout clomid from a friend & i asked my doctor.

Then I got pregnant. Using clomid. It did make me vomit but was worth it.

My insurance didn't cover clomid"


"Although I experienced immediate relief (able to urinate freely), I have experienced low stomach pain almost constantly. I also tire much easier since starting Uroxatral."


"Prozac kept me "in check" for around 30 years until it "pooped out".
When added to the 20 mg of Brintellix, the addition of 2 mg of Rexulti has significantly improved my MDD symptoms. I began with the starter pack and went from 1/2 mg for a week, 1mg for a week and then to 2mg which I have been taking for the last 3 weeks.
I have not experienced any side effects and fortunately my Dr. has been providing samples to me until I can find a way to obtain this drug at an affordable cost."


"The medication works as advertised, and I love that, but I must keep heartburn remedies nearby at all times as I get heartburn suddenly. That being said, the side effects have not been enough to make me stop using the drug."


"Does not work at all for me."


"Unlike some benzodiazepines like lorazepam, which is short acting, Valium is much better for those with social anxiety instead of once in awhile panic attacks. Valium is in the system for longer. Lasting effects are often desired as the medication will not need to be taken as often. This fact has been great for people who greatly fear addiction and overdose as a result of short acting benzodiazepines.

I personally, was previously on Lorazepam for serious anxiety. Even though I was on in for several months, addiction or overdose was never a problem for me. However, I don't like taking pills generally, especially very often. Out of safety and convenience I was placed on Valium. It works much better for me."


"I have been on Tegretol XR for about 3 weeks now for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I take 100 mg 2x a day. It took like two days for it to work. I only start to have pain from the attacks when I'm due for my next dose. And it's not nearly as bad. The only problem is that I'm already on pregabalin for fibromyalgia, so the Tegretol added makes me totally out of it. I can't remember things, I'm double drowsy all day, I zone out, and I don't like that it has negative interactions with about 500 medications including Tylenol, which I usually take for breakthrough pain because ibuprofen doesn't work on me. So overall, it helps but I really hope I don't have to take this for a long period of time."


"At the age of 55, I found the only drug that has worked for me in 35 years, I can't even begin to explain my childhood or experiences thereafter, as soon as I could, I sought medical attention with my limited finances. Before that, all I could do was drink and have a good time. I thank God I finally was given Lexapro, (Escitalopram.) I felt relief immediately, whereas NOTHING else did, and was happy, After all the drugs I tried, I have no side effects with Lexapro. I hope this gives hope to those who have been searching. God bless you above and beyond your dreams. With LOVE."


"My vagina is unbearably itchy after using this product. 10/10 would not recommend it. Is a horrible product. Do not buy."


"It shrunk my lung tumor by 40% in one month in lung , but the bone Mets progress slowly."


"This medicine has me really confused.  My 7 yr old has ADHD and usually has really good control on meds.  Concerta always worked really well, but we couldn't go any higher on the dose.  Everything else wares off before he is home from school .  We tried the Daytrana to see if he would have some control through the bus ride home.  The confusing part is, it's helping a lot with the hyperactivity, but not at all with focus.  He's actually always done well in school, but now his teacher says he just wanders around the classroom.  Any one else ever had this experience?"


"Twice this year I have had a cold and used this product.  Both times, I took the two pills.  It cleared my head, but it left me feeling restless, and I suffered from insomnia.  I will try 1 pill the next time to see how I react.  Maybe 2 pills is too much medicine for me."


"I"ve lost 30lbs in 4 1/2 months! Drink lots of water and eat right! it's amazing!"


"I'm a 52 yr old woman. I've been taking Pristiq for 2 months specifically for generalized anxiety disorder hoping that using it will be able to reduce my worrying and to improve my sleeping.  10 years ago I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and have been using a CPAP machine so I'm really hoping that reducing my anxiety might mean that I might not need the machine - my new sleep doctor thinks that I may have been misdiagnosed 10 years ago - the results could have gone either way. So far, my anxiety has reduced which is great.  However, my side effects include nighttime hot flashes (affects my sleeping) and decreased ability to have orgasms.  I meet with my doctor in a month to review so I'll see where I am with it then."


"Hope things work out for the best. Have taken this medicine in the past for severe bout of pneumonia and bronchitis. It worked EXCELLENT! After just about the second day, lungs, breathing, cough, all were much better. That was about two years ago. Recently developed same set of symptoms, Physician prescribed Avelox..Am hoping it works as well this time as last time. Side effects are common, but well worth it when this medicine works, it works great and fast at getting you well."


"So I've had the nexplanon since December of 2013. Prior to the nexplanon I was on the deep shot for about three rounds (9 months) I went to basic training and missed my depo shot time frame so when I got out of training the nexplanon seemed like the best option. I haven't had a period since March of 2013, no spotting, no cramping. My nexplanon expires in December of 2016, and beginning in late January I started severly spotting, and incredibly severe cramping. My acne has gotten worse in the past year ranging from face acne to moderately severe back, chest, and shoulder acne. I do not recommend getting the nexplanon. If you're lucky you don't get a period, but I've noticed more people have problems than not."


"I have been taking dexedrine for about seven days now and it has definitely helped with my chronic feelings of anxiety - that painful feeling in your chest. This in turn has allowed me to better concentrate on the daily issues at hand then constantly having that feeling of flight or flight regarding any number of daily life issues.

Thus far very helpful and I hope to continue down this path - I wish I had tried this drug years ago."


"I've been taking this as a "mood stabilizer", which has been working, but in all honesty I think they put me on this for mood because of the way the other medicines were making me (Risperidone made me psychotic, so did Zoloft). I'm off those now and am currently on Lamotrigine. But it does nothing for anxiety, not one thing. It's made me worry MORE."


"I took this for over a year at age 20 it got me out of a depressing time. I have always been a VERY shy person and quiet. Literally a day or two after I started taking this I was with some friends and I was like the center of the conversation. I felt like all the mental stuff holding me back was gone! I started thinking more positively while I was on this. I still had bad days, I was unemployed at the time but got through it. I did gain 25lbs while on this.
I finally got to a point where I wasn't depressed anymore and was beginning to over react to situations and was getting a discontented/sad feeling where I felt like I had to be doing something so I stopped cold turkey and was okay. I lost all 25 lbs, quieter self is back and depression free."


"This medicine should be ILLEGAL. It is extremely adicting and within only about 2 days of taking it your symptoms will be 5 times worse. I have been unable to breathe without this medication for around 4 years now. Tried many times to get off it but with no luck. I'm simply convinced that it has damaged my sinuses beyond repair.

I'm begging you DO NOT take this. It may work wonders at first but within a day your nose will be completely blocked again and you will have to rely on the medicine again. It's a vicious circle."


"I have trouble keeping it sealed all sides I have to use tape lost 3 patches"


"So far it's not only helped with food cravings, but also sense of wellbeing and anxiety. I am way less irritable and am not comfort eating. Already lost 4 lbs in one week."


"Overall well tolerated.  Just put on higher dose (80 mg/10 mg) for better blood pressure control.  I will see if there are increased side effects.  Am currently on Twynsta for 3 months."


"I've had Cronhs since 2006. In 2011 I was put on Pentasa. It works if you take it as prescribed. I do admit I don't take my medications like I'm supposed to, but it does work."


"I came to appreciate dextromethorphan on the 4th night of a bout with bronchitis. While I did need to "expectorate" all that horrible, infected, green stuff, I needed some uninterrupted SLEEP even more. The dextromethorphan kept my hacking quiet long enough to do so."


"For the past three months I experienced weight gain even though I run 5k/5 days a week. I feel tired and lack of energy."


"I never had allergies until I was an adult. Most of my allergies are at night making it unbearable and hard to sleep. Nasal congestion itchy eyes and mouth. This would continue into the morning. During the day time I would get constant ear pressure and cracking. My doctor put me on singular (generic was given from the pharmacy) and my symptoms have improved significantly but I get nose bleeds more often which is a side effect. I've been on it for three months now.  Still get the occasional stuffiness in the morning but much better over all."


"I have been taking Dexilant 60 mg for more than 3 years after taking Nexium for 9 years for GERD.  The Nexium quit working so I went on the Dexilant and it saved my life. I started with one every 3 days, then every 2 days and once a day now.  I had some anxiety attacks last spring and did not think it had anything to do with this drug.  After reading some of the comments it is possible, but has been ok all summer.  I am 60 and rode a motorcycle from Seattle to Los Angles in July and traveled Europe in August and Sept. with no acid reflux problems.  Just back in Florida after a trip to Vegas and can eat or drink anything. No problems with alcohol, milk or spicy food.  Without it I am up all night eating Tums every hour.  Good Luck!"


"I have been on Gilenya for 4 months now. The first two weeks I was tired, blood pressure was running low and I felt lethargic all the time. But starting week 3, I was back to normal. I have had zero issues, and no side effects. Its so easy to just take a pill a day and not think about it. I love the convenience of it all. I recently had an MRI after completing 3 months on it - no new lesions. I guess it is too early to say if it is working, but it sure 'feels' like it is."


"I was put on this for acne. The first two weeks, I dealt with dizziness and exhaustion. The day I reached two weeks, I broke out in terrible hives and severe joint pain that landed me in the ER. I really wanted this medicine to work but could not continue it."


"I have had an extremely positive experience with paragard. The procedure was quick and a slight pinch upon placement a little bit of spotting after but other than that my period has remained unaffected, sometimes I do feel the strings but that is no biggie. Ever so often I have a partner who says they can feel it but has not created difficulty. I am happy with it. I got mine placed at Planned parenthood for free because of my financial status but I did make a $50 donation."


"I had the nexplanon inserted because the IUD literally fell out of me. Found it in my boyfriends bed. No idea how that happened and my Dr recommended this alternative. It did not hurt being put in and for thirteen months I felt at ease,  no period,  no side effects. It was great. Around the thirteen month mark,  I got my first period. It was heavy,  with all the terrible side effects. This went on for three months..  Non stop heavy bleeding,  I was hormonal,  angry,  in pain,  acne,  ten pound weight gain...it was terrible. My doctor put me on some estrogen pills and it worked but my breasts were extremely tender where it hurt to move. Finally after three months of this, it was removed. The bleeding stopped. I feel normal again!"


"I was taking effexor for depression. I found that my hot flashes went away. I love this medicine. It helped all of my menopause symptoms. The down side is I can't miss one! The hot flashes comes back with worst sweats than I had before. I now sleep very well at night."


"If you're taking baclofen for general back spasms, BEWARE. There are so many other medicines that do a great job instead of baclofen. This is from "side effects"
'Do not use baclofen at a time when muscle tone is needed to assure safe balance and movement for certain activities. In some situations, it may endanger your physical safety to be in a state of reduced muscle tone'.

Well, muscle tone is needed to stand and do normal activities. BEWARE: do not take it when drinking alcohol."


"Dr prescribed for anxiety...Took 1 pill...had brain zings, trouble sleeping palpitations...will never take again.."


"This medication has almost zero side effects.   I read all the reviews & I was so afraid to take it.  But I've been taking it for almost three weeks & I feel better than ever.  There are no side effects.   Don't listen to all the people who talk bad about it.  I don't understand what is wrong with all of them, but it's fine.  I just wanted to tell everyone this."


"Just tried sumatriptan for the first time, I got it over the counter in a UK chemist. I'm a 39 yr old man who has suffered from debilitating migraines since a teenager. They have become less frequent with age but when I get the early signs (aurora) it still sends me into panic of what's to come, lying helplessly in Hell for hours,  so when I heard of a new effective drug I jumped at the chance, and this was my experience, you get two pills, I took one with water and laid down in a dark room,  after about 40 mins I could feel the drug starting to take effect it was if the migraine was still happening but it had been dulled down or masked by the drug, you feel tired, sick and a bit bit weird but it's better than the migraine pain."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I'm 24 years old I have battled with sudden breakouts for the past 6 years. I did not have active acne, but I had zero control on random breakouts in my cheeks. I have used literally every product on the market and altered my diet to see if I would benefit from it, absolutely nothing has worked. My last resource was stimulating my hormones to see if this might be the problem, also one of my girlfriends who's skin is flawless has been on birth control since she was 16 and recommended it to me. Let me tell you I've been on Beyaz for exactly one month today and my skin has never been so flawless, its unreal. I've had zero side effects other than the best quality silky skin I've always dreamed of. Thank you Beyaz. "


"Neurontin helps with my pain and gives me a lot of energy but does not help my seizures. I am on 600mg 3 to 4 times a day but the longer I take it the less it helps and the more I have to take."


"Dear all,
I am a 26 year old Dutch man who has been living with AS since 18, but got diagnosed just 4 years ago at 22. Because Humira is so expensive they made me use NSAID's like diclofenac and naproxen for two years. Before I used humira I dropped out of college, couldn't do any sports and was bed ridden most of the day. If I would for instance do the dishes, I would be broken for the rest of the day. A little over two years ago they started me on Humira and it has completely changed my life. I was very wary of the medicine because it involves shooting yourself up and I was hesitant as I had just taken these heavy painkillers which did not benefit me at all. I couldn't walk and now I play football three times a week and am back to work/uni"


"Was prescribed for back pain. My legs hurt so bad I can't even walk! I can't sleep it hurts so bad. I am not finishing this script and I will never take it again."


"Hate it never getting another shot I've had two and I'm not getting my next one I'm continuously spotting then bleeding and when I have sex there's no sex drive like I have to force myself to do it I hate it never again"


"So, I've been through three years with Nexplanon, and I am on my second round (I'm roughly six months in at this point). It's been a love/hate relationship.
I stick with it because it's simpler than the pill, and because I cannot take estrogen. But let me forewarn those of you who are thinking about it: it gets rocky sometimes.
My menstrual cycle changed enormously. I'm used to it now, but in the beginning, it was scary. My periods last four weeks on, four weeks off, and they are fairly heavy. They start out light, but get ferocious by the second week before tapering off to nothing. And the cramping....oh, the cramping.
For all that, though, it is reliable, easy, and it works. No pregnancies, no weird side effects, nothing else in my case."


"I was prescribed with epiduo 1.5 weeks ago and at first it was already getting significantly better but then about a week ago, I started to get sunburned and flakiness on my face. My acne has also gotten worse. So I am currently hoping that in about a week it will start to get better"


"I'm 58 yr. old, have been smoking for 50 yr. smoked approx 30/day.

I'm on day 12 of the starter pack, and down to approx 15/day.

I am a hard core smoker! I'm trying everything to help myself quit.

I NEED this Champix to work"


"Taking clonazepam keeps my stress level down, so I don't trigger migraines by muscle spasms, or TMJ, etc."


"I have battled extreme motion sickness for 29 years.  After many failed attempts with Dramamine, Bonine, wrist bands, ginger candies...you name it, I decided to go to my PCP and get the patch. MIRACLE patch! I was able to ride to the top of Mt. Mitchell in N. Carolina, ride the blue ridge parkway and spend hours out in the Gulf of Mexico!  There are some negative side effects, but nothing that isn't tolerable.  The first time I used the patch, I left it on for three days. I had slightly blurred near vision (anything within an arms length was readable, but blurry lasted about 1.5 days after the patch was removed) and dry mouth.  Nothing I couldn't handle. I definitely recommend this medication if you suffer motion sickness."


"I've had scabies several times, unfortunately, mainly due to travelling.  Elimite is easy to use, but remember for the treatment to be effective you must disinfect ALL surfaces you have come into contact with.  You must vacuum furniture, wash all bedding in HOT water with chlorine bleach or color safe bleach in addition to detergent.  Clothing and shoes: when in doubt, throw it out.  And make sure to have household members treated, or at least on the lookout if they develop symptoms."


"I've been on 50 mg 1-2 tabs every 6 hours.  Started approximately two months ago.  The first 4-5 weeks were great.  No more pain but now suddenly, major side effects have kicked in.  Migraine type headaches, rapid heartbeats, occasional anxiety attacks and definitely insominia (even with taking an Ambien). I'm beginning to wonder if the side effects will ever go away. Doctor says hang in there, everyone reacts differently, however my side effects seem to be getting worse instead of better.  Haven't been able to get out of bed for the last 4 days.  I don't understand why this is happening.  "


"It keeps me calm and relaxed most of the time."


"I have serious issues with relapse. Do six months to a year then break out. Have a lovely doctor who gave me Librium and it helps. Makes me dopey but the sweating, the shakes, the empty wretching all abated. Really need to do it this time. I'm so tired of relapsing."


"I thought the Nuvaring method would be great because I don't have to worry about taking birth control for 3 weeks and I can take it out whenever I want if I don't end up liking it. I also liked that the hormones are placed right where they need to go: right at the uterus.  It was OK at first.  I'm very petite so it was hard to get it in the right place. I felt good with the regular cycle assisted by the hormones.  The first month I had about 10 days of spotting before my period.  About 2 months in I started getting plantars wart's on my foot and on my hand. Then I got a fungal rash underneath my breast.  This has never happened before.  Then I started to lose enjoyment for my schoolwork, athletic activities. I will stop using Nuvaring."


"So far the best medication for bipolar disorder I've taken.  I started out successfully at 20mg for a year.  Then I developed twitching on the left side of my body.  My doctor reduced my dosage to 2 mg a day and put me on Artane.   I am glad I found this medicine because I don't have to take it daily and I no longer feel as if I'm going insane.  Helpful, but you really need to pay attention to the way your body handles it. My twitching has gone away thankfully."


"As expected"


"For me Aczone worked better than anything else I have tried. I have cystic hormonal breakouts on my chin and jawline. I feel that it works very quickly and helps to prevent new acne from forming with twice daily use. It has no side effects and is non-drying."


"Thank you thank you over forty years five different hospital seventeen different meds have hospital bills to prove it take two and watch the clock it really works"


"I started this medication on a trial prior to FDA approval (Dec. 2014) I was chronic HCV GT1b. It was a 12 week course of 4 pills daily without RiBA. After 2 weeks I was undetectable and now post 3 months I remain undetectable. Worst side effect was fatigue and it was very bad. Although, it did not come on until about 5 weeks into treatment. If that is the worst thing that there was and I can remain SVR, then it was well worth it."


"Lawd! This stuff is ghastly!  Barely got the 1st dose down with some minor gagging, but then the gas, cramps and bloating started. After 30 minutes it was working so that was good because I vomited almost all of the 2nd dose. This is my 4th colonoscopy and by far the worst. I will find another prep next time."


"Hey all you people having bad dreams I have a suggestion. Take a 5mg Melatonin. That's what I do and haven't had a bad dream yet."


"I got my Skyla put in May 2013.  I was the first person my Doc put one in.  My period was kind of unpredictable for a few months, which was expected.  I started Boot Camp 4 mo later, which makes everyone's cycle crazy, synching with 60 girls.  I had my period for a month, then didn't have anything but occasional spotting for a year. Maybe 3 days of spotting every three or four months.  It was AWESOME.  And no pregnancies in the months leading up to leaving, despite unprotected sex with my fiance.  Then, a year after my period stopped, it started again.  Now, after 2 years, I spend 2.5 weeks on my period and 2.5 weeks off.  Talking to doc soon because this is so frustrating."


"I started contrave on May 18th and I am down 13lbs!! I am so excited about that. I have not been exercising but have significantly cut down my calories and fat intake. Today I start my second week and should be starting my second pill, 1 in the am and 1 in the pm. However I'm going to stick to one pill for another week or so. In the beginning, I would say the first 3 days I did have nausea and a headache. My head hurt for 3 days straight! I really thought my body wasn't going to tolerate the medication. The nausea wasn't was tolerable but the headache seemed to start off light and then by around 5pm I swear it felt like it had its own heartbeat! But the 4th day I woke up and I felt normal again. I will be checking back in a week or so."


"No help with anxiety"


"I decided to try out Yasmin in the hopes that it would help clear my skin. For a long time I had suffered from hormonal acne primarily along my jawline and my doctor thought that Yasmin might be a good solution for me. It took exactly 3 months on the pill for my hormones to stabilize but since then my skin looks great.

I've been on the pill for 7 months now and I never get breakouts anymore, it has really boosted my confidence. I've also been lucky in that I haven't really noticed any side effects. I've gotten slightly bigger boobs, but that's about it. For me, Yasmin is the best.

And for everybody out there who's trying it out - be patient, it takes a while for the hormones to stabilize but when it happens the result is wonderful."


"An accident occurred Friday night ( 14th) we immediately went and got plan b. I'm also on depo but I'm still a little nervous."


"Seroquel only helped at the start and only with sleep. It has now been 10 years and it is making me a walking ZOMBIE. I have had major weight gain, I was a mere 120 when I started taking this medicine, I now weigh over 200 pounds. It is a nightmare for me. I still constantly eat. I can not stop. "


"I have taken most everything on the market and we started to think I had been misdiagnosed.  My doctor was at a point where she was beginning to think the same thing.  Savella was my last hope.  I began taking the titration pack with no marked change so she increased the dosage and so far I feel better than I have in a long time.  The only drawback (other than decreased sexual appitite) is the cost.  My co-pay is $45.  It may not seem much to some but when I am taking 9 RXs a month it is costly but worth it."


"I have only been taking Depakote ER 500 mg for 10 days now, or maybe I should say nights. I take it at bed time, & was supposed to start taking it twice a day after a week but the upset stomach, the shakes, (or extra nervousness),  no sign of relief of my migraines, & I haven't been able to sleep at night either.. I'm going to tell my Dr. that I just can't take it any more."


"Very powerful med. Doc prescribed for my sinus infection.  Major dizziness within half hour of taking the meds. It stays for about 5 hours. Congestion does clear up really fast. However I took it at night for the first dose and could not sleep the whole night. The 2nd day till today (5th), I took them after lunch and rested. The dizziness is overpowering. I literally can't function but I can sleep at night 2nd day onwards tho it takes slightly longer than usual to doze off. Happy today is my last day and I will probably never want to take this again if I can help it."


"There's no question, this is the medicine that stops performance anxiety.  I was paralyzed with fear whenever I was asked to be in a wedding, play piano in church, speak in front of a group, you name it.  Propranolol 20 mg is a miracle!  A musician who played in a symphony told me almost all the musicians used it, so I gave it a try.  I take it 1 hour before I need it, and it lasts 4-6 hrs.  This is truly the gracious miracle that rescues all of us who struggle with irrational panic and exaggerated fears, beyond the normal "butterflies in the stomach."  The symptoms of speedy heart, sweaty palms, choked up voice and red face simply do not manifest!"


"I had previously tried Paxil and Celexa and did not feel they helped me at all. This medication is more for my problem (Seasonal Depressive Disorder)."


"I have been on 37.5 mg for 14 days and have lost 11 pounds. Only problem I have at all is dry mouth. Water doesn't help. Gum does but I get headaches if I chew gum too long. Overall though it's been awesome!"


"I was on Loestrin 24 fe for 3 years with NO PROBLEMS. I loved it. My periods lasted less than 2 days, cleared my skin, and I didn't gain weight. Then I was forced to switch to Minastrin, which is supposedly the same pill, but just chewable. It's been a TERRIBLE experience. I've had a chronic yeast infection straight through the 3 months I've been on it and it won't respond to any prescription medication. I've also had severe cramps during my period and acne. There is no way this medication is the same and I want Loestrin back."


"For migraines tylenol works better than ibuprofen for me"


"Had a allergic reaction to this medication and it was one of the scariest moments of my life"


"Usually, I try to a drug without reading up on side effects but this medication had me consistently checking for reactions online.  It did help my asthma but the allergic reactions and side effects kept me out of work the whole time I was on it.  My vision became blurry, the nausea was daily, swelling of my tongue didn't get deal-able until I was down to 10mg.  Let me clarify, I was on this medication for almost two months starting at 60mg. My sugar went on a roller coaster ride..... they started giving me meds to deal with the side effects which helped.  I will never take this medication in the future. Listen to your body and speak up for yourself.  I believe my problem is that I'm allergic to something in it..."


"I've had this birth control for about 4 months now. My periods last for like 15 days every month and it's really annoying. But it's very effective when it comes to preventing pregnancy."


"age 51, male. A1C was well over 10 when starting Xigduo. along with high blood pressure. Cholesterol was fine. Started both an ace inhibitor and and Xigduo at the same time. I would argue I don't have most constant diet, but I exercise a lot; very active. Swim 2000  yards a few times a week and ride more than 20 mi on bicycle at very high sustain heart rates

As of my last doc apt, A1C was 6.7. morning blood sugar measures 82-90 consistently. BP is now below or at pre-hypertension. Mood is normal (i.e., not the impatient grump ALL the time, lol) and my physical fitness level and endurance seems peak right now. I do have to watch if I don't eat regularly; feels like I drop pretty easily in those situations. I imagine the dose will be lowered"


"It's just like any other medicine. Works differently on each person."


"I've just had the Mirena inserted two weeks ago. The insertion is uncomfortable and a little bit painful but nothing unbearable. I had cramps for about one hour after the insertion and haven't had anything since. No spotting, not much cramping, totally worth it."


"I'm just about to start my 5th month on the patch and now that my body's gotten used to it, I can honestly say that I love it! I felt completely normal the first month. The second month, however, I experienced mild itching around the patch, extreme mood swing during the "off period", and heavy spotting for 4 weeks while wearing the patch. After the second month, I was back to normal. No itching, no baby, no huge detrimental side effects except for that I increased a cup size, acne is mild/did not change on patch, no more spotting in between periods, and no mood swings. Overall, I would recommend the patch. Easy to use, put it on butt and forget about it for a week. LOVE it."


"I'm 17 years old and I've suffered with bad skin since I can remember.. Been on lots of anti biotics, the pill, cream and finally put me on roacuttane. My skin was bad as I had it on my face, back , arms and chest! My worst was on my arms and now there are loads of dark scars. Roacuttane had really cleared up all the pimples and face spots I had within the first 2-3 months which is great. Lips have been awful and have had rash on my hands. My nose has also appeared more with white heads which I remove with nose strips once a week now which is great. I also have back pains from the tablets and feel tired most of the time which isn't too great because I'm doing exams.. I feel more confident as I can now show my face without makeup to people!"


"I have now been on Meridia since May 25, 09 and am happy with the results. I started walking 20-30 minutes once a day three times a week. I don't have the usual cravings for carbohydrates or sweet and salty foods, and for once I feel like I have control over my appetite, thanks to Meridia. I was also approved for one year on my insurance. When I started, I weighed in at 239 lbs, so far I have lost 6lbs. Good luck to you all."


"VERY effective antibiotic on two (2) separate events for oral abcess! Usually a straight Penicillin customer, I am & Doc prefers Amoxicillin (not efficacious for me). Compromise medicine: Keflex is the most foul-smelling thing I ever wanted to swallow because it works... so hold your breath!"


"Took a year to work, I went up slowly by 25 mgs every month and then kind of stayed at 150mgs for 2 months and then add 50 mgs over the course of two months. I had orginally been titrated very quickly and it caused a mixed episode. The effectiveness was noticed gradually each month. I started to notice fewer and fewer bipolar symptoms and noticed more stability as I slowly went higher.

At 200mgs I am almost symptom free and take it as a monotherapy. My cognitive awareness has improved since taking lamotrigine as well as my spelling and dyslexia."


"I have been on this medication since February 2008. I have more energy and less fatigue. I still have my days, but this medication is a God send. Initially, my hair began to thin, but with supplements and proper hydration for my hair, it has levelled and is beginning to thicken again. If you are taking this medicine and have some of the side effects, please give it some time. I am glad I did."


"The side-effects suck. I would get a bloody nose at least 5 times a day, my lips would peel and get blisters, and my arms would get rashes. But it was all worth it. Accutane is amazing. I am so thankful for it. I had acne for 6 years and I tried everything you could imagine to try and clear my face up. Now after 4 long months, I am just now taking my last pill. I go to the mirror and I don't see a pimple, scar, or even a red mark on my face. my self-esteem has improved so much. I would definitely recommend it."


"This will be my 3rd day on Victoza and I am feeling well.  I also take Metformin for Type II diabetes.  I was just diagnosed with diabetes about 3 months ago and my blood sugar is just over the line into being diabetic so I am hoping that if I can get some weight off, I will either get the diabetes to go away or at least, allow it to be well under control.  I'll try to remember to report in in a few weeks but so far, so good."


"Pain last Friday, but didn't go to dentist. Banging on his door Tuesday (bank-holiday!)
Cleared out an infection between 2 teeth, X-ray showed no sign of trouble.  Another sleepless night and I'm back and got 200mg Metronidazole and 500 mg Amoxicillin 3 a day for a week.  48 hours in and I'm typing this at 4.10a.m. For something to do and hopefully inform others.  Just want the pain to stop.  Taking paracetamols, but not effective.  Bonus no side effects and no horrid taste.  The tooth is crowned and root filled, so I just hope the drugs work, as I once took Fosomax which can make dental work very doggy re possible complications."


"I have been on this birth control for 5 months. My first oral contraceptive, and it has not affected me in anyway. I did not gain weight (I actually lost weight), get larger breasts or anything like that. It did regulate my period which was also healthy. Periods were light, about 2 -3 days, without cramping. Previous to the pill, I never had acne problems so that was not an issue. It all depends on body chemistry because this pill affected my friends more than me. Overall, this pill was great. Not pregnant, I still use condoms, and never had any symptoms!"


"This is the only medication I have ever been given in my ENTIRE life that has made me literally want to rip out my IV and run out of the ER.
I was given this in the ER to curb the side effects of my lumbar puncture. I have anxiety and RLS so in the beginning I thought I was just experiencing a minor panic attack. I felt so restless that I had to go to the bathroom just to do something with myself.
When I got back to the bed I immediately told my gf that I wanted to leave. Was pushing the call light. And damn near left screaming. I flipped my shot on the doctor and he said this was a common side effect. I told him I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack and he gave me Benadryl and some kind of benzo.

Absolutely horrid."


"I have been on Latuda for over three years. My cycles are very rapid and this drug has saved my life. I take one 120mg pill at night. Wow what a difference. My mania is under control and I have less episodes of depression. Having a dual diagnosis I am very comfortable with this medication. I was on lithium for over 11 years and that worked well until I almost had kidney failure due to toxic drug levels. I would recommend Latuda to any bipolar client that is dealing stability and a once a day simple administration."


"I have AD on my eyelids and under the eyes and around my mouth. My dermatologist prescribed me this medication today and I put it on 2 hours ago. After those two hours, the areas where I put on protopic had felt like they were on fire. I hopped into the shower to wash my face, and to my surprise, the burning didn't subside. As I am typing this, I'm sitting in front of my fan and patting my face with a wet washcloth when it feels like its burning. I can't describe the amount of pain I feel at the moment, but I will stick with the cream because it is my only option at the moment. I'll check back if the burning subsides."


"I was very hesitant about this medication working for me. For 5 wks i was taking 10mg faithfully, hoping for the slightest relief of my obsessive thinking, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety. After 5 wks of no relief, my dr upped my dose to 20mg. Now 7 wks later i am finally starting to notice that my crazy thoughts have subsided.I think a whole lot clearer also. I'm no where near where I would like to be mentally but i can definitely notice the effectiveness. The side effects are pretty extreme but the way I see it is this - this disease is like a demon fighting to stick around in my head, and lexapro is like an exorcist fighting even harder to kick the demon out. But I can feel this demon losing the battle."


"Love this medicine.  I got impetigo a few years back.  A few days of applying this and it was completely gone.  Works great for acne, too.  Something I always keep in my medicine cabinet. "


"I'm writing to hopefully calm some nerves. 2 days after I ended my period, I had protected sex with my partner. While we were careful (he did not ejaculate inside me), we noticed the condom broke. I became frantic and decided to take emergency contraception (Take Action) just to be sure. I took the pill approximately 18 hours after sex. Within the first few days, I had the normal symptoms: spotting, nausea, etc. Within the next few weeks, I began to experience all the symptoms of pregnancy! Mood swings, frequent urinination, breast tenderness and extreme vaginal wetness! I was freaking out! There was absolutely NO sign of my period. I took 3 pregnancy tests, all negative. My period ended up being 6 weeks late. It was unnerving!"


"I've been using fluoxetine now for 2 and a half months and it didn't work immediately. The first week it definitely reduced the flashes by about 66%. The next few weeks it gradually reduced more and more. This is where I am now..hot flushes.. about 2 very slight, I can hardly class it as a hot flush anymore. I've had about 2 night sweats in the past month. My angry moods have gone and will not be persuaded to stop taking this medication. Its a little miracle that has changed my life for the better.. yaaaaaaaayy"


"This has saved my life, but make sure to take it on time"


"I find this to be very very helpful for pain in my teeth. I am waiting on a lot of dental work and I was in severe pain from a filling that came out as well as other problems. I also suffer from panic attacks. This works excellent. I can eat normal till I get my teeth fixed but was amazed that it cleared up my panic attacks. I used to have bouts of depression but I seem much better now.

"


"Provigil has worked well at treating my Narcolepsy.  I had to stop taking it when I was pregnant and resumed taking it after my daughter's birth.  If you choose to take Provigil and have children, you need to be driven around for the duration of your pregnancy and up until you are back on the medication."


"When I first used this acne medication, I broke out like crazy. In fact, it made my acne worse. After I saw it getting worse, I debated whether or not to continue with this product. However, other users agreed that this product is one of those product's that fits the saying of, "it makes the acne get worse before it gets better." After almost 3 weeks of using this product daily (once at night, I use finacea in the morning) most of the breakouts have faded and soon will be gone. I do recommend this product however, you may not experience immediate results and I am here to tell you that if your acne worsens when first taking it, STICK with it."


"This is AMAZING! I've had nasty eczema on my index finger for almost a year where it was almost impossible to use the digit. It was thick, unbendable, cracking, bleeding and painful! After a week, I actually have feeling back in that finger. It has cleared up spots on my neck and behind my ears. Just amazing!"


"I'm 58, I have GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) I've been taking Zoloft/Sertraline 50mg, for 15 years. I 've had no problems. 3 months ago I experienced a dizzy spell with vertigo, lasted 3 hours. 2 days later my ear(s) started ringing. For 3 years now, I've been under the stress of personally caring for my mother who is 84. I have a full time job and have had for 20 years. 2 weeks ago, I slipped into anxiety/depression. Feelings of confusion, shaking, heart racing, no appetitie, not sleeping well or sleeping to much. My in control attitude got up and went. Doc (of 34 years) says raise the dose 100mgs. It took everything I had to take 50mgs 15 years ago. I still believe in Zoloft, wondering if 75mgs will help? Thoughts on ringing, vertigo?"


"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."


"I was put on Quasense to help with abnormal vaginal bleeding.  I was on it for less than 2 months when I suffered a near fatal pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs).  I am young and healthy and a non smoker... it was caused by the estrogen in the pill.   Please know that although birth control is wonderful and it is commonly prescribed, it DOES come with risks.  You never think it will happen to you.  I am using my very scary and traumatic experience to raise awareness.

If you have any symptoms of a blood clot seek emergency medical assistance immediately:
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Cough
Anxiety
Fainting
Rapid heart beat
Swelling or warmth in your leg or arm

900000 people will have one this year. Stoptheclot.org"


"Had anaphlatic  response after receiving g series of injections. Causing a life threatening  experience  and several  days in hospital."


"I've been taking Tegretol for over a month now, right after my TN diagnosis. It took a couple of days to fully work. Every since then the pain went completely away. Side effects for me are feeling sleepy and dizzy all the time."


"I have been on Apri for 6 months now. My acne has come back, I have horrible and frequent mood swings, I've gained at least 8 pounds around my hips, I completely lost my sex drive which is ruining my relationship with my boyfriend I have horrible cramps the whole week before and during my period AND I get it for at least 5 days. The kicker is, it was the perfect pill for the first couple months so watch out. I'm going to the doctor this week to switch."


"This medication has changed my life.  I could tell a difference with this medicine within a day or two of taking it.  I can now leave my home and not worry about where the restrooms are located every where I go.  I don't have to worry about having an "accident" on my way to the restroom.  I can sleep all through the night.  Only problem is, yesterday I received a letter from my insurance company stating it is no longer covered under my pharmacy benefit plan.  So I can't afford to continue taking Myrbetriq."


"Worked wonders for stabilising my mood - and my ability to leave the house! Been taking it for about two years now. only thing I find is it starts to 'wear off' after a few months. My doctor has me come off them for a month and then go back on when this happens and I find this much more effective than upping the dose.
Main side effect for me has been insomnia. A small price to pay for the huge positive impact Lexapro has made on my life."


"This medicine gave me quick relief from the urinary tract infection, however I am vomiting and have diarrhea. The pharmacist label said to take on an empty stomach but when I called them, they said I can eat just no dairy.  Hopefully with something in my stomach the side effects will decrease."


"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"


"Only antidepressant to quell my panic attacks and lessen my emotional reactivity. Only downside is ruined sleep and constant vigilance to prohibited foods and medicines. Also developed a bad sweet tooth. But you will definitely feel much better"


"I started Bleviq and did get headaches and fatique the first week, then it went away. I sleep so good when I take it at night and not tired anymore with my first dose in a.m. and have lost 16 pounds with drinking a lot of water and watching what I eat. I love this pill -I would never take anything for weight loss but I will stay on this one to my goal I was 192 lbs 5'1" on May 9th and down to 173 on June 13th"


"Got rid of my toenail fungus.  But I lost my sense of taste for 3 months.  Nasty drug."


"I wonder why people experience the major side effects portrayed here, had a good meal, drank lots of ice cold water, then took the 1 gram, trust me I had not one single bout of diarrhoea. Will wait for a week then test myself to ensure the bacteria is all gone.
Good drug so far."


"Day 5 and things are going better. Puking, insomnia, bad dreams, loss of appetite, tremors, lack of energy etc. etc. etc. Nasty stuff. Stuck to it and it seems to be leveling out. Still smoking about 5 a day. Will report back after week 2..."


"I posted previously after 2 days on the component drugs that make up Qsymia.  I am 61 and had reported no side effects.  It has now been 6 weeks.  I have had side effects but only minor - some dry mouth, difficulty sleeping if I don't have a glass of wine before bed ;), some numbness a few times in my face and that's it.  I'm down 14 pounds.  I have made a very conscious effort to take off weight and sometimes question whether the Rx works but I do know that I simply have no cravings.  I have no pull to buy junk food.  I have gone to a whole food diet, have had no sugar for 6 weeks, low carbs, just added a work out program 2 weeks ago and continue to drink 100 oz of water daily.  Because it has been fairly easy, I do credit the drug.  "


"I just started Phendimetrazine yesterday.  I was given the 35mg dose and split the tab in half and took it around 10am. I have taken Phentermine in the past and it makes me feel very jittery and gave me headaches.  I didn't experience this at all with Phendimetrazine! I'm so pleased.  I didn't even think about food and had to force myself to eat lunch.  By dinner time it was starting to wear off so I was able to eat but still not all that hungry.  I went to bed at 10pm and was able to fall right to sleep.  I'm 5'10" and weighed 174lbs at my weigh in yesterday and today I was already down 2 lbs.  I'm hoping to lose 15 lbs total and I feel very optimistic!"


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


"I had to stop taking this after three days. I am prone to depression but I haven't really had a bad episode since I was in my early twenties-I'm 31 now. I was so deeply depressed and disturbed from taking Estarylla that I threw away the package with the rest of the pills for the month. I was crying and I had a migraine at work which is hard to explain to my co-workers and makes me look bad. Also, I felt a weird detached type of feeling and I actually felt like I wasn't in my body. I've been really sleepy and I've had vivid dreams tool. I've taken many other brands of birth control and this was the worst experience that I've ever had!"


"I got the copper iud October 22,2015. Insertion went great didn't feel a thing. I did feel just a little cramping afterwards which lasted about and hour or so. And the next day I got my period and it was normal. A little heavy bleeding the first day or two and lasted 4 days the usual. So far so good and I don't plan on removing it out until the next 2-2.5 years when I'm ready to have my 2nd baby. It's a great hormone free birth control."


"Have been on this medication for over a year. The first 6 months I never really had any issues. My periods were a bit lighter and the cramping had improved significantly. After six months of use I started to get very nauseous because of this medication. I take it before going to bed and about 6 hours later I would wake up and be throwing up for a few minutes. About 20 min to half hour I would usually be ok. Some days though I relied on anti-nausea tablets just to be able to get a little bit of food in me. I continued to take it but now I'm getting an IUD so I can finally abandon this pill"


"I'm new to all this HIV talk about viral loads and CD4 counts. What I do know is my doctor told me I was right there at basically having AIDS. When I got my first blood work. He immediately prescribed me Complera and 30 days later I was undetectable. Now its been 6 months and I'm still undetectable and I've had minimum side effect besides some weight gain.  Once a day I have a small meal and I'm good to go. Saved my life."


"I have a severe cold and have been having terrible coughing fits where I end up gagging and vomiting. My doctor prescribed Hydromet, and I didn't even plan on taking it because I usually find that cough medicine does nothing to help me when I have a cold. However, once I did take it, I noticed an amazing improvement. I went from coughing and not sleeping all night, to sleeping soundly through the night. It didn't completely take the cough away, but I can tell a huge difference. I've had my cold for a week, and I'm still taking it at night to get relief so I can sleep. I have had no side effects, except maybe more vivid dreams. They aren't nightmares, but I do seem to dream a lot more while I'm taking it."


"I have arthritis and take tramadol 50mg it does absolutely nothing to relieve the pain in my hip or back. Doesn't help with neuropathy either. It seems to be a placebo fake med. I have real pain not fake pain. I can't go shopping or do anything I enjoy because of the pain. What kind of life is this?"


"My skin isn't completely covered in pimples, but I am always breaking out, including those deep, painful ones. I got super diligent about my skincare a few months ago because I was tired of being in my mid-twenties with the skin of a teenager. I tried Proactiv, but I was left with skin that was red, flaky, irritated, and STILL breaking out. Not exactly a great combination.

When I first tried this product, I have to admit that I was skeptical because everything else on the market seems to operate under the assumption that it has to be harsh to work. Thankfully Neutrogena made an effective acne product that doesn't leave me red and flaky, even after a few months of use.

Morning: Neutrogena Acne Stress Power Foam Wash and Accutane."


"Ruptured lower disc. Been using for two days; take 500mg before going to bed. Previously could not stand or walk for more than two minutes. This has absolutely helped me walk and stand longer. No side effects. I don't like taking any drugs; so, I may try at 250mg. With my positive results and limited use so far and not being a narcotic, I'll be recommending this to my mother-in-law."


"Amevive was a true miracle!

I have had psoriasis for 26 years. It was always kept under control until 2 years ago I had a severe outbreak.

Most of my body was covered with psoriasis, my back (neck to waist) was the only part not affected. I had psoriasis on the bottom of both feet, palms of both hands, and head also.

 I was in severe pain, blistered, swollen, chills, and slight fever.

To sit I had to pack myself with pillows, and to lay down was almost impossible.

I was given Amevive, 1 shot per week for 12 weeks. The 1st shot I noticed improvements. Every shot more spots cleared. By the 12th shot I was COMPLETELY clear with NO psoriasis.

There results lasted for over 1 year.

Miracle is the only thing I can say for Amevive."


"I'm 18 years old. I got the IUD inserted about a month ago and I love it. Insertion was pretty rough, there was pretty bad pain for maybe 20 seconds and afterward I felt nauseous and lightheaded for about an hour. After that I was completely fine. My boyfriend has never felt the IUD and I never have to worry about taking a pill or anything like that which is great. The only negative thing I have to say is that I've had some spotting and random cramps for the last month but nothing too bad at all. When you consider that Skyla works for three years, a month of a little spotting and minor cramping seems worth it to me. Will check back at 3 month mark."


"Generally, I have done quite well on this medicine when used in combination therapy. Lately, however I have developed a raspy voice and increased asthma symptoms. This may be unrelated to Symbicort and I will be seeing a physician shortly to address."


"My doctor put me on Actos 6 months ago. I noticed swelling of legs and feet. The joints in my arms are aching daily. I also had a 23 pound weight gain and noticed headaches. But it has brought my sugar levels back under control. I didn't know about the particular side effects. I am going to talk to my doctor about them and see if I can get a replacement."


"I took Rytary for approximately 1 month in 2016. The worst experience in the 14 years I have had Parkinson's disease. My Neuro tried different doses at different times of the day, it would only work with Sinemet to help kickstart at first, after about a week it was no longer predictable. Several times I had to crawl because I could not walk, once I got up to go the bathroom but could not cross the threshold and had to urinate on the floor. The last day my Neuro asked me to try 4 capsules at once as a last resort, It was 2 hours before I could get out of bed!
I still feel the effects to this day."


"Since I've started the patch I've had an increase in libido like all the time . I wasn't like that before ... I'm not complaining . Lol. But down side my skin broke out bad the first week of wearing the patch . And I gained a bad cough that won't stop . Other than that I love the patch since I've worn it I haven't had weight gain but my boobs have went up a whole cup size so no more pretty bras . Lol ."

"Was given for MRI  of heart dye to suspected "mass" of Right Atrium.  Results "NO definite mass visualized".   They did not tell me ahead of time  I would be given this contrast drug, not until I was ready to be placed on the table for the MRI.

They did NOT tell me of any side effects, so I could refuse drug.  I have been SICK for 1 1/2 weeks due to this dam drug.  I have have had extreme frequent sweating, my heart racing and bad nausea.

I was "scamed" into taking this drug.  They said they would NOT do MRI if I didn't agree to take them IV drug!"


"After six hours I began to feel relief. After day four, I'm close to 100% cured...but I have six more days to take Levaquin 750mg. I'm also eating a cup of yogurt per day. Make sure you drink lots of water with this medicine or you will feel horrible! Otherwise, I love it."


"Makes me really sleepy, my mood is OK, but to sleepy"


"Less side effects than Ciprofloxacin for myself, but definitely makes me achy and muscles feel tense.  Works very quickly, pain and irritation from kidney infection was gone after one day."


"Like Ambien, it's good for a solid four hours but then I wake up totally unable to go back to sleep without taking another dose.  It's good if you only need help getting to sleep."


"This is for my rheumatoid vasculitus. This first dose caused a reaction but the staff was right on the first indication, adjusted the drip and we continued.  It took around 7 hours. The benedril made me fall asleep.  The second one two weeks later went without incident, about 4 hours.
Five months later, I have been able to reduce my prednisone intake without a flare up of RA, and the nerve pain from the vasculitis has remarkably dwindled from lasting and unbearable to very manageable.  It doesn't reverse damage, but my sed rate is around 11 (from 30) and if I didn't have to worry so much about the ghastly cost of this med, at this point I have to say it's been most amazing.  There is financial help available I think."


"Started Trenti noun cream 0.025%..3 weeks out. Yes you will get dry and peeling, and yes possible break outs ...it's the cream working. I am 41 and have acne deeply embedded in chin. With just 3 weeks on cream...not only does the acne embedded seem to be loosening up and such I didn't realize it also does help with the tone of your skin and fine wrinkles. I love this product. Would like to try a stronger percentage next visit. Follow instructions...I use mine at night I do my cleansing as always however let you skin rest for 20 to 30 minutes as instructions recommend and apply...pea size does work. Less is more in this case. You will waste product if using too much. Be patient and results will follow. Love it."


"I had my first child at 18 got the Implanon exactly 6 1/2 weeks after having my son.

I have bled evey day since the day having it put in. I'm not sure if my young age has anything to do with it or not but I'm considering having it removed. But on the plus side it's the only protection we use and I haven't had anything close to a pregnancy scare so it is very effective.."


"I've been on methadone maintenance now for nearly three years. It truly saved my life. I am now back to being a productive member of society and believe it to be a gift. I have absolutely no desire to use opiates any longer."


"I came upon this website as I was looking for different uses of magnesium oxide (MO); my initial reason for taking MO was for nerve pain, but I found it very interesting that people with my same "issues" used it for constipation, heartburn, even nausea, so I decided to "up" my one-a-day dose to at least twice per day, and wow, the difference is quite fantastic! I must say I'm a skeptic by nature but, MO is an inexpensive way to deal with common side effects from pain medicines, etc. Without any hesitation, I recommend this "medication" for anyone with stomach problems, especially females suffering, like myself, from endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, and/or Celiac, or any auto-immune disease."


"I've only been taking Buspar for 3 weeks and my anxiety is gone but I'm still depressed and irritable."


"During the time I have been on Klonopin, I was asked by my insurance to try the generic but was never able to tolerate it.
Last October 2014 the brand was unavailable "Not in Stock" and I had to go on the generic.  I was on it totally for several months and had some severe side effects.  I became aware that brand was available in early June and was able to get back on brand.  Having difficulty getting the exact same dosage I've been on for about 18 months to regulate.  I'm having a problem sleeping thru the night and feeling anxious when I wake up.  It doesn't feel like the same drug.  I don't know why it was stopped.  I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience with taking the "new brand" since it is  available again."


"I had a great experience with this medication.  I had to go off all medication for a while but will ask for this again when I can resume. My doctor gave me Concerta and I didn't think it was doing anything.  I felt calmer, the way you feel after a well rested vacation, but that was all the difference I felt. THEN my co-workers started complimenting me on my work more, saying I was doing much better (They were the ones that suggested I get tested for ADHD)."


"I had pretty severe side effects related to this medicine (I have no known problems with medications, so this was unusual). Symptoms did not appear until MONTHS of taking this medication.

Side effects included: heart palpitations (like a "fight or flight" response...frequently, without cause) nausea, and overall tiredness (my body felt heavy), depression. It took me a long time to figure out this was due to this drug. It was a really terrible few months for me. Side effects stopped within 2-4 weeks after discontinuing this medication.

On the plus side, this medicine was the most effective for my acne. My skin really cleared up tremendously. Not worth it though."


"@Colbak - I too had the sling surgery. It took care of the laughing, coughing, etc. accidents. I had difficulty emptying my bladder. I couldn't sit to urinate, I had to squat like a linebacker. I had to go pee every 30 minutes. And when I had to go, I went from no urge to running and barely getting my pants down. My urologist said that I could a. Have the injection. b. Have bladder snipped to "undo" the surgery. Or c. Go to a dr. in Pittsburgh (close to me) and have a pacemaker type device put in. I got the injection a little over a week ago. The first day I was really crampy. Now, I can't fully empty and its getting worse everyday. I thought it was a UTI ,but now I have to self cath. I also go (trickle) every 15 min. Grrr! Hope this helps!"


"I took one tablet a week ago, with very little effect. The morning after taking it I did go to the toilet but it was very small.

Last night I took two tablets at around 10pm, and woke up naturally at 7am and needed to go. I did have pretty explosive diarrhea which lasted for about 5 minutes, but absolutely no pain at all, or sickness/fainting//dizziness etc. Every time I have gone to the toilet to pee since then I have also had a small amount of diarrhea but still feel absolutely fine in myself. Feeling very cleared out and my stomach is so flat for once!

I am horrified by all of these other reviews and do feel like I've been lucky, but then again, people are much much more likely to write about bad experiences than good ones."


"I've been dealing with severe panic disorder for about 9 months. I really did try many medications and I have to say that Pristiq has been the best for me. I've been taking it for about 6 weeks and feel much better. Although at times my sleeping is not so great but the other benefits do out weigh that. I am very happy with Pristiq."


"I have been struggling to keep my classroom intact while managing the behavior of one child in particular. Day 2 on Clonidine. Mom didn't tell me yesterday. Like a different child. Thought I'd google it to see if it could be that immediate. Medicines should be the last resort, but definitely have a place."


"I realized I had been with my partner on a very fertile day, about 14 days before my period was due.  I panicked and took Plan B about 20-24 hours later.  I was able to buy it at Rite Aid over the counter, which was a relief!  I took the pill and had no side effects until about the time my period was due, and then I got a migraine aura twice in a day.  Very scary, but I am prone to migraine auras when my hormones change.  I figured my period was very close, but it didn't come.  I had no other symptoms except maybe slight nausea.   Finally, 6 days later I started spotting and having cramps.  Hallelujah!  I've never been happier to get my period.  It was 6 days late. So don't worry - this medication DOES work."


"The magic migraine medicine!  I'm 47 years old and have suffered from moderately severe migraines since I was 11. The list of different drugs I've taken over the years is too long to recite, and the only other drug that has been effective in any way is Fioricet/Fiorinal, but I develop a tolerance to Fiorinal. I was skeptical when I first tried Imitrex, but have become  a believer! I have taken both nasal spray and tablets and both work quickly and thoroughly with NO SIDE EFFECTS. Truly the magic, miracle migraine medicine, for which I am sincerely grateful."


"I believe this is the strongest non prescription sleeping aid that you can take. This works really well for me on the few occasions that I need it, within about 10 minutes of taking it, I fall asleep and stay so for longer than I normally would without it.
You can even try 1/2 or 1/4 tablet if you don't want to take a whole one. .
Definitely recommend this!"


"This was my first time being on birth control.  Each month I had increasing breakthrough bleeding until by the fourth month, I bled every day."


"I loved it! It was absolutely great. Weight gain is a myth."


"I was honestly so worried that I had Trichomoniasis until I read the difference between the vaginal discharge. I was so relieved to find out that it's a yeast infection(self diagnosed don't judge). I just started my Vagistat-3 day one about an hour ago and honesty I don't feel as bad of burning as I did. There still some itch but for the most part I can feel it starting to soothe my poor girl. Due to itching it was so swollen and sore. Now the swelling has definitely gone down some. THANK YOU VAGISTAT! (update tomorrow)"


"I have had restless legs syndrome for 5 years. I started Requip at 1mg now I am taking 2.5mg. I have had morning sickness everyday. Nothing else works. I am hoping the path will work. I am willing to try anything."


"Within 40 minutes I was in the bathroom with profuse sweating and intense abdominal pain.  It is now 5 hours later and the abdominal pain is still there.  I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Please take this off the market !"


"I used it before bed and woke up in the middle of the night sobbing due to terrible itching and burning that was worse than the yeast infection itself. I cried myself back to sleep because literally nothing, the cream, the wipes, nothing would help. The next morning I immediately felt the difference and could tell that the yeast infection was gone. Although I've never felt anything worse than the feeling it gave me that night, I'd definitely recommend it and use it again myself if ever needed. It literally hurt like hell, but it definitely got rid of the infection overnight."


"I have tried many different antidepressants over a 20 year span, I would be on one that worked wonders and after being on it for about 6 yrs, it would stop working. I was on Paxil and Cymbalta for 6 yrs each, my doctor switched me to Viibryd in August so I have been on it for almost 3 months now.  I do not feel any better, in fact my muscle aches have increased tremendously and I cannot sleep.  I have horrible night terrors. I have night terrors almost every night to the point I dread going to bed. This medicine is not working for me at all!"


"I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen low for two years before switching to Ocella. I used to throw up and break out constantly so I switched to Ocella.  So far, I love it.  I haven't had nausea, spotting, headaches, mood swings, or heavy periods!  Unfortunately, I definitely have gained weight but nothing unmanageable.  I had moderately severe acne and it has been clearing up slowly but surely, which is a huge deal for me since I'm a senior in high school.  My sex drive has gone way down."


"Probably saved my life. This is the first antidepressant I tried as I was scared of some of the nasty side effects of the SSRIs (sexual, weight gain, tiredness). I was on Wellbutrin XL 150 mg for 1-2 months and then have been on 300mg XL for  3 months now. Getting on it was a little strange, as I had some side effects of anxiety at first, but actually have not had a panic attack since starting. Just know that it doesn't really help with anxiety/ocd symptoms (but I've been going to therapy for that). Really made me motivated to get work done (never been the case for me) without that craziness feeling from Adderall. Very consistently good mood and makes me want to be alive. Also increased sex drive + motivation for exercise is a plus."


"I'm curious if the formula that was on the market a few years ago (which I never took) but seemingly had poor reviews from many, is different than the one that just became available this year. I've only been taking it a month, but it's been great thus far. No poor side effects and my period seems to be way lighter than I can ever remember. I was almost frightened by the negative reviews when my pharmacy made me switch. But don't worry! True, everyone's different- but it wasn't a problem for me."


"I have been taking contrave for almost one month and have lost about 12 pounds.  At first I felt a little weird on the medicine (light headed, loopy, ears ringing) but after about one week the symptoms went away and It does not feel like I am taking any medication.  Contrave has curbed my cravings significantly.  I have changed the way that I eat and am very mindful of my calorie intake and I can be that way since my cravings are gone.  I like this medication a lot and I plan on being on it until I can lose about 20 more lbs.  started at 163lbs and now I am 151lbs. I falready feel a difference in how my clothes fit! I recommend this medication.  A bit costly but worth it."


"Aside from occasional nausea if I don't take it with food, I find it takes the egde off my lower back and arthritis pain.  Causes some drowsiness so I don't take it when I need to drive.  Works better for pain than pretty much anything else I have tried."


"I cannot find any medicines to work for me. Was on Viibryd 10mg for two weeks and then went to 20mg for a week and a half. I broke out in a rash for 3 days then it went into hives. Ended up in an Urgent Care, recieved cortisone shot and prednisone. Doctors think it is from Viibryd because I have not tried anything new or done anything differently. Now I'm on my second prednisone pack because they have come back.  "


"I have arthitis in my lower back with spinal stenosis and an annular tear in my disc.  I was prescribed 1500mg a day. As long as I take the full amount I have no more pain, cramping in my leg or sciatica.  I have been taking half because I have dizziness and headaches. Still better than the pain."


"I had this for almost three years.
The first time I got it, I couldn't even do a squat, it was so painful. I also had heavy, long periods. I had it removed after 8 months.
I can't take estrogen, and the mini pill sucks. So I tried paragard again (this time for almosy 3 years).
I bled all of the time.
14 day periods. 5-7 days of ovulation bleeding.
I bled 20 days of the month. It was positioned correctly. Nothing was wrong with it.
I didn't get pregnant because I could literally never have sex."


"Couple months ago, I was on the nuvaring. Biggest mistake of my life. It has changed what I loved, knew and liked. I had the nuva ring in for 2 weeks, only 2 weeks. I had a major stroke on Jan.31 2015 caused by this product. It killed 25% of my brain (back left portion). Had to relearn everything; to using a fork, writing, telling the time, etc. There's no side effects or warning this was going to happen, I just fell over and was in a coma for 3days. Now, I'm 18 fresh out of high school, I had a job, was going to school and just got my licence. But can't do that anymore.
In other words, I strongly do not prompt this product. It should be taken off the market. Its deadly.
I hope you are all safe, strong, women...and stay that way.
Be safe<3"


"I tried some samples my doctor had supplied for allergy symptoms. It has helped my allergy symptoms and also seems to be an appetite suppressant. I had no adverse side effects. I got a prescription and wow is it expensive! My insurance plan wouldn't pay for i."


"I've been on this for a week (which I know isn't a long time but hear me out lol). I have not really experienced negative side effects at all. I waited to start it on the first day of my period to ensure that I wasn't pregnant and my period went on and cleared up as normal and expected. MAYBE just a tiny bit of bloating at times. I went on the mini pill because my body can not process estrogen at all. Immediately, I get horrible mood dives, I get painful cramps in my legs and arms from the high cortisol estrogen was causing me. In fact, on this pill my mood seems to have taken a turn for the better, I have more energy to do things and feel more mentally stable! Don't be scared off by reviews or discouraged from finding, everyone's different"


"On day 5, not hungry but so tired I can barely function. Hopefully it will go away. Hate feeling tired and foggy."


"I have been on klonopin for 17 years.  I started with .50mg in the am with an SSRI.  Over the years all the SSRI would work for a bit then I would have to change.  The last year I lost my husband suddenly at 38 and have changed 4 of them and finally said no more..  I am currently on 10mg of lexapro and 1.50mg of klonopin.  The withdrawal of lexapro and before that Effexor have been hell and back.  If not for klonopin I wouldn't make it through the day.  Addictive or not it works."


"I have been on both oxycodone 30mg
 8 tablets a day along with oxycontin 40mg for chronic pain issues, also 40 mg kadian,  and Xanax  for anxiety and soma, muscle relaxer.  I can honestly say that the dosage worked great for me and I felt as though my quality of life was back and felt like a.functioning person again"


"I started smoking when I was 10 and started drinking when I was 15. I continued to smoke and drink and dope until I was 27 at which time I became a Christian and quit all three vices cold turkey. I believe I was able to do that because of my faith in the Lord. Due to a lot of pressures in my life, at age 34, I  returned to all three vices once again. At age 44, I returned to my faith and wanted to quit again, I was coughing and easily became short of breath. I was able to quit for short periods of time, smoking more than not. At 49 I relapsed again and was doing all three. Then on 11-11-11, I quit drinking and doping, and shortly thereafter I quit smoking with the help of nicotine patches and I've been sober and smoke free ever since. 8-17"
