"My doctor, gave me a sample packet with the the 10,20 and 40 mg. for my anxiety and depression. Overall I like it, my anxiety has gone away and depression is lessen! I recommend you take it with a full stomach because  it can cause dizziness. I like the 20 mg better 40mg was to strong! But I did notice some side effects, a lot of unexplained bruising and hair loss, decided to stop it but the withdrawals are scary but do go away, overall does help with depression and anxiety! Only reason I stop was because of bruising and hair loss was bugging me."


"I had Cyber Knife in 2015 & mild BPH before and after.Went over a year taking nothing  but Flo Max never worked for me, but my BPH got bad & started taking 5 mg cialis which  helped.First Urine Culture came back with blood & a UTI. Next 3 were clear Went on Cialis an & Cypro. Then Cialis & Ceturoxime for 7 days and STILL no answers I felt worse then before. I did made the MISTAKE of taking 2 Cialis for 3 days at the end of my  Ceturoxime because I felt so horrible DON"T DO THIS Dr said it was a toxic dose.Now  Ive been waiting for OVER a week on his orders of "Take Nothing & Go to ER if it gets worse" I cant take  anymore ! Going back to my Cialis to see if it can help again. It never did help with libido issues now or before. I have got rid of my Doc"


"I have taken Oxazepam 10 mg, since the early 90's for Anxiety. It allows me to live my life without any side effects, calms me down, keeps my throat muscles from tightening, when confronted with, or involved in situations where anxiety attacks would increase. It allows me to live my life, without any side effects, and without having to increase the dosages, throughout the day. I have taken the same dosage for years, without having to increase the MG. I have also been able to - decrease - the amount needed during the day. All I can say, is Thank God for this medication. I have taken it to also help me sleep.I have worked and driven my car, without any problems. I wish they would make 5mg's like they use to, because at night, this is a plus."


"I've had chronic hives for most of my life.   I can't tell you the different types of medical "cocktails" I've been on.   I've tried doxepin up to 100 mg.... made me loopy all day long.  Don't really want to take anything that will mess with my brain.   I've taken Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec,  Zyrtec w/Zantac, I've switched antacids --- be careful with Prilosec.  That will lower your B12 quicker than anything.   Mine got so low, I had to start giving myself B12 shots from taking the Prilosec.   Nothing is working for me!   I am miserable beyond comprehension!   If anyone has any other suggestion, please post.  Thank you."


"I'm just starting on .6. I've been on it for 2 days and I've already noticed the total lack of desire for food. My goal is only 25 lbs. so I'm combining it with the gym 3-4 days a week. I'll certainly come back in a few weeks to keep you all posted. Good luck to all."


"I have epileptic seizures & there are times my mind thinks non stop even in my sleep. And I would wake up tired and sore with a headache.  I could literally see my thoughts racing in my mind about things I had to do the next day, I got to the point I was only sleeping 2-3 hours a night, my neurologist prescribed me lorazepam & it helps. I fall asleep faster; however, I still wake up before the alarm but I'm well rested."


"I'm 18, I've been on Lisinopril 20mg for a year. My BP stays around 120/80 which is good. When swim season came, I had been trying to get into shape but fatigued too easily in practice to ever get a good workout in. At my first swim meet, I almost had a heart attack after a race. Lisinopril cured my high BP but ended my swimming career. If your a serious athlete, I don't recommend taking this medicine. Its effective but your endurance will diminish greatly."


"After years of hot flashes.....at least one per hour....plus sleep depriving night sweats....my doctor suggested Gabapentin rather than hormones. Didnt really understand  the drug until I did some research and read how it has helped other women. So, I took it....300mg, at night, as prescribed.....wow!!! I havent slept that well in years!!!!  Zero night sweats! The first two mornings after taking Gabapentin, I felt a little bit foggy headed. But also a sense of calm that I really enjoyed. No more foggy mornings.....its been 1 week since I began taking Gabapentin. Still getting a solid 8 hours of sleep with no night sweats! I am one very happy woman!"


"Because of a long history of narcotic (painkiller) use, my doctor suggested that my body was not producing melatonin and that my insomnia might be because of this. Sure enough, the very first night I took the medicine, I slept well, with no after effects. That is the best thing about this medicine. I take it half an hour before I'm wanting to go to bed, I get a bit drowsy and go to bed, falling asleep quickly, but awaking fully rested."


"I have been on this pill for about three months now. It's my first type of birth control I've ever taken so I have nothing to compare it to. The first two months, symptom wise, were horrid. I got extreme mood swings, horrid acne (my skin has always been clear), weight gain, and tender breasts. After the two months, however, the symptoms went completely away. I did have irregular periods before but now they come at the exact time thanks to this pill. That's why I gave it 5 stars."


"Tried 4 other statins. Simvastatin has no morning foot pain. Additional benefit is no more erectile dysfunction."


"I had this treatment in January 2015 and it worked for me almost immediately. I will say that I was already doing catheters and I still do them twice a day if I didn't I would probably never pass urine so something to think about. I wish that I had this years ago when I was scared to leave the house or was always trying to think of where I could get to a public toilet.

I have secondary Multiple Sclerosis and would like to ask if anyone has had problems with their legs since this procedure? I am falling at least once a day and this had started since the Botox."


"I have been on many anti-epileptic medicines over the course of 30  years: Dilantin, Mysoline, Klonopin, Depakote, Topamax, Lamictal, etc. While Keppra did a good job of controlling the myoclonic jerks which I often experience, it was way too sedating when combined with Topamax. It wasn't uncommon for me to sleep twelve hours a day.

The real problem with Keppra was the mood swings, depression, anger and suicidal thoughts. It's no secret that a link exists between epilepsy/seizure disorders and some (all) of these issues; however, in my case these feelings and emotions definitely intensified while taking Keppra."


"Methadone saved my life.

It's that simple to say.

Not to mention, Methadone Diskets is BY FAR the best form of Methadone, made by Roxanne Pharmacuticals pill imprint 54 883.

I was a heavy Narcotics user for just about 10 years. Hydrocodone for 2 years, 100mg daily, Oxycodone for 4 years, 160mg daily, Heroin for 2 years, 1g daily. I hit rock bottom and my withdrawal nearly killed me from dehydration. Got sent to the ER, then from there got sent to a Methadone clinic. Ever since I got on Methadone, I feel like a normal person again. Great job, the most amazing and beautiful wife, and the most amazing and beautiful baby boy and baby girl. Thank you Methadone for giving me my life back!"


"I was given the 8mg sample to try for overactive bladder. I took it one day and had a constant urge to urinate all day and night. I tried to urinate about every 15 minutes and very little came. Didn't take it for 10 days. Tried again with the same result. "


"I have Multiple Scelrosis and I found that this medication helps well when trying to cope with the pain from MS."


"I was a 2 pack per day person. Awesome. I quit smoking in 3 days and have been smoke free for 7 months. I would have died from cigarettes if I did not quit. I really feel that Chantix is the reason I quit. You have to want to quit and you still have to try. Chantix just makes it easier. Remember, a craving will never last more than 2 minutes. I will never be a smoker again."


"I have been on this med for almost a week. I am pleased to not have experienced any of the potential side effects.  I have noticed a decreased appetite.  That alone makes me very hopeful.  Down 3 pounds already."


"(2005) Diagnosed with UC in Australia.  I was hospitalized and put on some very strong doses of Prednisone/Cortisone. first as tablets and then via IV. It made me very irritable and made me worse. I ended up getting a subtotal collectomy/j-pouch (& full recovery)

(2015)  a few weeks ago, I got a really bad case of poison oak. To treat this I was given a cortisone shot and prednisone to take for a week. For the first time in 10 years  and post-surgery I had a flair up with blood in my stool and the urgency to go to the toilet. I stopped the prednisone immediately and it has since subsided. but it gave a me a scare! If you read the side effects it very rarely can exacerbate UC conditions. be mindful if you arent getting better to reevaluate!"


"I had been on the combined oral pill for many years and had tried many different kinds. I have experience every kind of mood swing possible, severe cramping and abdominal pain, headaches, nausea, heartburn, moodiness, and had severe irritability, and uncontrollable bursts of tears before and during my period! As well as a decrease in libido. I felt out of control!
I went to the doctor, she told me I was experiencing PMDD, which is much worse than PMS. She put me on Nora-Be since it only has a synthetic progesterone and no synthetic estrogen (which apparently increase all of the craziness).
Only taken for short time, but better already! I have more control of my emotions and my libido is back in overdrive! Breast are tender though."


"Had Panic attacks for 3 years until started on Prozac.  Stopped after two weeks.  Made a wonderful difference in my anxiety and depression."


"Remarkable !  Have had HepC for over 30years. Asymptomatic. Started an 8 week course of Harvoni about 7 weeks ago. Viral load went from 2 million down to UNDETECTABLE !  After just 28 days. Wow! Side effects are annoying but manageable. Have had headaches, fatigue, bloating, insomnia and body aches. But I just rest when I need to. Don't give up hope!"


"I have been taking Tri-Sprintec for 2 1/2 years.  My period is regular and 5-6 days.  I need to switch because I cannot find Tri-Sprintec or any other Triphasic pill in Nicaragua right now.  Since I've been looking into other pills, I have been reading a lot about side effects and have just realized that I have been experiencing several side effects from Tri-Sprintec.  Contact lens tolerance - I have not been able to wear my contacts for more than two hours for the last 2 1/2 years.  Low sex drive.  Not chronic but 3 yeast infections in the last two years. One urinary tract infection. I did not have any of these issues before I started taking Tri-Sprintec."


"Starting weight on 6.12.17 was 184.5. Type 2 diabetic with Hashimoto thyroid disease. I was eating about 1200 calories daily and walking 6 plus miles a day I continued to gain weight. After the trial dose of which I had no side effects I had lost 13 pounds. Started 7.5mg dose on 6.26.17. Stuck at 168.5 for 12 days. Eating less than 700 calories a day and still walking 3 to 10 miles. On day 3 of this dosage I started having nausea, tingling in my hands, and upper respiratory cough and throat irritation. I got down to 161 and although my routine stayed the same I started gaining weight. Now at 164.5 again. Discouraged but still trying. Unsure if this is the right answer for me."


"I am still in treatment, but my initial impression of Ibrance is positive. My doctor is extremely supportive of it's uses and anticipated outcomes. (I have a fantastic doctor) I've had ease of access, when I mention Ibrance to medical professionals and the like their response is positive according to what they're hearing. My side effects have been few and not severe. The only major reaction I experienced was during the course of undergoing radiation treatments and taking Ibrance & Femara in combination. I became neutropenic (sp?) w/mild diarrhea, weakness, dehydration and throat and esophagus challenges. My challenges were a bit overwhelming.  The newness of Ibrance concerns me. Just hoping it does the job!  Thank you."


"This medicine has worked well for my back pain, however I cannot take it if I am going out. It causes significant dizziness and agitation, which I can put up with during stay at home evenings or days."


"This medicine has enabled me to continue working and living a more normal lifestyle."


"Prednisone is the only medicine that suppresses this dreadful condition.  As soon as I stop taking it, the condition returns with a vengeance."


"I had a blocked tear duct with inflammation and this worked almost instantly after trying other drops."


"Decided to start Ortho Tri-Cyclen to improve menstrual cycles, PMS symptoms and acne that have grown increasingly worse over the past few years. Been taking it for the past month and I haven't had any nausea - a big plus. (I'd make sure to eat something before I take the pill though) Also, no spotting at all. But I have had deep fatigue, more moodiness/depression, and especially breast swelling/tenderness lasting almost the whole month. However, now I've started my period and have had no cramps, only light bleeding and my energy is back. I think my acne is getting better, though time will tell how much Ortho helps. Long term benefits should outweigh the temporary discomfort, but every woman's different. You'll have to see if it works for you."


"Freaking miracle drug. I tried everything but nothing would get rid of my psoriasis. I am a 6 year sufferer of it, had it everywhere including my scalp. I am now 6 weeks on Cosentyx and I am completely clear! I am beyond ecstatic, truly incredible stuff. So far I have had so side effects and hopefully that will continue.!"


"Also, causes horrible periods!!! I would bleed heavily for 3 weeks+ stop for about a week and have a period again being 3 weeks+. Worst thing I ever decided on. Had it removed and started the pill again, acne has subsided and I'm much more cheerful

And back to my old self(:"


"Experienced zombie like state, very hostile, constant headache, felt a feeling of sadness come over me and wanted to cry randomly.  I talk with my doc. who told me to decrease my dosage but I still had these effects.  On to something else."


"PRISTIQ HAS SAVED MY LIFE. Fourteen days ago I went to a psychiatrist because I was having suicidal thoughts and anxiety disorders that were paralyzing me with fear at 3:00 AM, I would sit up in bed and could not get to the other end of the black tunnel. I didn't enjoy anything I used to (I love fashion, I love my pets, I love New York City) and I was walking around wanting to die. Two weeks later, I am ME again.  I am laughing, I am happy. I'm enjoying people, my work and am in the process of getting sober which has been much better with the help of Pristiq.  I was feeling so uncomfortable in my skin I could barely sit still at work. Now I am meditating and can be still in my body.  I am calm and peaceful and content."


"I got this implant December 2014 after having my baby girl in September. Before putting this in I had lost 20 pounds post partum after gaining 50 while being pregnant. Also before this medication, I have never had troubling acne ever. I started having one pimple every time I had my period since I was 16, that's all. After having this in, I started having back spasms late December( I have never had back issues in my life and I was 24 when I got it) Since then, I have gained 40 pounds (have had it in for 11 months) have started having issues with my gall bladder, stomach and bowels. I have eaten less and worked out more than I ever had in my life with no weight loss whatsoever.  I'm getting it out on Monday."


"Triglyceride levels were 508.    Doctor prescribed VASCEPA 6 months ago.

Did another doctor visit and detailed blood report shows triglyceride lowered to 205. There is no change to my diet and exercise routine so VASCEPA is the only change.

Will continue to take next 3 months."


"Back again.  As of 8/28/14 my viral load is down to 34. My CD4 is climbing as well.   No side effects anymore at the time."


"This medicine has ended my crisis.  I talked to my Dr. about the fact that I exercise and I don't eat out of control and could not lose weight.  I also told her that almost no matter what I eat I have to hit the bathroom within 20 minutes.   So, on top of getting this prescription, she did food allergy testing.  Turns out I am severely allergic to cows milk and bananas.  Bananas were always my go to food when I was in a hurry and I always tried probiotic yogurt to solve my stomach problems.  With all that being said,  I have lost almost 20 pounds since the beginning of July.  I think this is really helping me with my cravings for things I am not able to have now too.  No side effects for me."


"I tried to go off this drug after undergoing TMS treatment, but I could not. It is as addictive as heroin. I needed to go onto Wellbutrin and Prozac to bridge over and taper off the Viibryd over a period of several weeks and the withdrawal syptoms were awful."


"I LOVE my skyla. I have had it for about a year and it has caused no issues other than vagina lightning every once in a while. It is awesome. It was a 5/10 to get it put in and then the first night was a 7/10 for me and since I've had no issues other than said lightning. BEST BIRTH CONTROL EVER!"


"Clonidine, or catapres, is a Godsend for opiate withdrawal. It takes a lot of the worst parts out of it. Best done under supervision of a compassionate doctor."


"I am a 25 year old female and I struggled with acne for approximately 7-8 years before starting Zenatane (isotretinoin). I tried several topical and oral medications with little to no success. It became extremely upsetting and frustrating to wake up an extra 30 minutes just to "cover up" my breakouts. I finally made the decision to speak to my dermatologist about accutane, and after completing some research I decided to go on it. I have completed close to ONE month on this pill and it is truly a miracle! My face has cleared and instead of having several cystic breakouts during "that time of the month" I only had one. The only side effects I have yet to experience are dry lips. I highly recommend this medication!"


"Had IUD for about a month now and never had children. I have a sensitivity to estrogen so opted for this. I love it. Insertion hurt.  The actual IUD didn't hurt at all. As soon as they released the clamp on my uterus, the pain went away immediately. I spot occasionally and have random cramps that last about ten minutes but overall it isn't that bad. OB says spotting will subside (it isn't that bad really just a speck on my panties, so I wear a liner.). Boyfriend doesn't feel the strings at all like some claim. I would highly recommend."


"I was just fine on Cefdinir for first six days (actually, remarked how this was one antibiotic that didn't wipe me out).   I did take probiotics with it, along with the prednisone tables (bronchitis and sinus infection).   Then on the seventh day, when I took the last two, the cramping started.  OMG.  I am so sick!  It has been two days since I finished the dosage, and I have constant stomach ache and have trouble breathing.   Gax X doesn't help the cramps much.   I wish I read these reviews before I took this stuff.  So, this is going to last and last and then, if it goes away, it comes back another day?   That looks to be what I'm reading."


"I was very nervous about taking Sureprep after reading the side effects that could happen. I was on a liquid diet all day yesterday of broth, jello, juice and water. I was instructed to take the Sureprep at 3 and 6pm. I mixed and drank the first dose at 3pm. I immediately filled and drank 2 full cups of water per the instructions. The taste wasn't as bad as some of the reviews I read. It does have a salty metallic taste but it was not unbearable for me. My first urge to go to the bathroom came within 15 minutes. this round lasted about an hour to 1 hr 15 minutes. As I sat I continued to drink water because I didn't want to get dehydrated. I had no cramping nor any discomfort at all! My 6pm dose was the same. Great product just drink plenty!"


"The reason, I got on this prescription was because 1. I don't want to get pregnant and 2. My periods last for 7-8 days cramps are unbearable and there are time that its heavy its annoying and there are times I cant even sleep. Now, I've only been on the pill for 7 days. Before I even take the pill, I'm good no mood swings I don't feel nausea nothing at all. After I take the pill, like 5 hours later I start feeling nausea, moody, I just want to go to bed and sleep. What I've been reading here seems good, I hope this side affects ends soon because I really don't like the feeling but I will keep you guys updated how its working with my body, Wish me luck."


"I am on my second day of Belviq.  I have had no additional side effects except for some small coughing about 15 mins after I take the pill.  I love this, as I previously tried qysima and absolutely hated the way it made me feel.

When I eat I get "feel" full sooner than before.  I also was able to walk by the bakery in the grocery store and no pick up a treat, even though it smelled so quite delicious. I have observed it takes let to make me feel fuller!  No complaints there.

I have CVS Carmark persecution insurance and they approved my request to the medication.  It comes to 50.00 a month.  :). Whoop whoop!  The pharmacy said I have never seen this approved.  I will recommend if you have been denied in the past to try it again."


"I would never take this drug again and I would encourage you to never take this drug. The side effects were terrible."


"I started taking phentermine on November 4 and today is my 3rd day.  My starting weight is 254lbs. My goal is to lose 100lbs. Since starting I feel like I have so much energy and have been able to keep up with my 4 kids so much easier.  The only side effect that I have is a mild headache and a little jittery.  I haven't been hungry but force myself to eat because I know the importance of nutrition for your body. This morning I made egg-whites for breakfast and sliced tomato but had to force it down."


"I struggled with depression, mood swings, and incredibly severe anxiety at a very young. Effexor is the only drug that worked for me. I went up to 150mg and that really helped me control my anxiety and depression. I became more outgoing and was able to enjoy life in a way I hadn't been able to before. The one con with this medication is the withdrawal, which is severe. If I miss a dose I experience fatigue, powerful electrical shocks throughout my body, and I become very withdrawn and "out of it". I switched to taking 2 doses; one 75mg at night and morning. I switched recently to pristiq to see if it would 't have this side effect, but it does (although, less severe) and it isn't as effective. I will be going back to Effexor."


"I had Nexplanon inserted Feb. 15, 2017. At first I thought it was great. My cycle came around March 1st and I bled, with large clots, until June 10th, non stop!! It stopped for about 3 weeks, and started again at the end of June until July 6th. I've had major depression, thoughts of dying, my anxiety has also been through the roof! I was in the ER over night on July 7th because my blood clot factor was slightly elevated and they thought I had a blood clot in my lungs. I'm researching now for a different birth control.. I can't take this depression!"


"Works amazingly for my Bipolar Non-Specified Disorder. Not a happy pill, but one that keeps me feeling stable most of the year. Has definitely made a world of difference in my life.

Only negative side effect is that I have a harder time losing weight on this medication (however, it does not seem to directly cause weight gain)."


"I took it for a month to come off my valium it was great  no longer on any benzos Its great"


"I started this drug 4 months ago and I have the cough and the headaches. But my blood pressure is still high. I started taking it in the morning, when I got up my blood pressure was running 178/110 or higher within 2 hours it was down, but I was so tired that I was falling a sleep at work and waking up with high blood pressure. So I thought if I started taking it at night then my blood pressure would not be high in the morning. But it is still very high still in the morning 178/117. So the Doctor said start taking it again in the morning - that was a week ago and for the last wk I have woken up at all hours with a bad headache. This morning my blood pressure was 178/117. I will have it changed. "


"I never had any back problems until I reached my upper 40s. If I wasn't careful, I would somehow manage to pull my lower back muscle. The pain was relentless, and nothing I took really helped; it only took the edge off. Very fortunately, a doctor recommended I take Skelaxin/Metaxalone, and FINALLY something helped! So now I always keep a bottle in my medicine cabinet, just in case! The only downside is that it causes constipation, but I just make sure I eat extra fiber & drink extra water."


"I had a bad car wreck in 2011, caused chronic back pain.  I have had 5 surgeries which ended up putting in a spinal cord stimulator.  That helps with nerve pain, but not back pain so much.  I eventually was put on Zohydro 40mg about 1 year ago.  He first tried 30mg, but upped it after a month or so to be covered better.  It has been a wonderful medicine to help me have a productive life.  I still use (3) norco 5mg/325mg for break through pain a day.  Looking at possibly moving to Zohydro 50mg next month as pain has slowly increased more lately.  But all in all, it has been a great drug and has helped me live a productive life with chronic pain.  The SCS also has helped tremendously.  It is very expensive before meeting my deductable ($500)"


"My son has been on every medicine available for ADHD and it didn't work. I thought to myself one day how about giving him his night medicine during the day. I asked the doctor and he said if we were going to do that I prefer giving him Kapvay rather than the Catapres he's on so we did and I could not be more happier. On his color chart everyday he was bringing home green which is great, the past 3 days though in the afternoon they change it from green to a warning which is yellow so maybe I need to increase his afternoon pill just a little. Other then that Kapvay is great!"


"I have taken Tenuate for 2 months now and lost almost 20 pounds. This is HUGE for me as I had tried and failed to lose weight -any weight- on my own for years. In addition to helping me lose weight, on it I have more energy and a better mood, so I did some research and found that the medicine apparently also works on increasing the serotonin in the brain. Good stuff - I've been very happy with it."


"I got mine inserted a month and a half ago. So far, I have experienced some dizziness, lightheaded, very random nausea, random/light spotting, headaches, a little weight gain and heartburn (but both are because I have been eating crappy) Headaches are becoming more frequent now but Tylenol helps. Nausea hits randomly, I could be eating something and within a few seconds I cannot even fathom it anymore. I have not had a full on period since getting this but I did bleed a bit heavily for about 3-4 days just two weeks after getting the implant. Since then, just super light off and on spotting (not even enough for a panty liner though). I do get annoyed a little more easily, not much of a sex drive either. Not pregnant though!"


"I like this birth control method because it's safe to use while breastfeeding (I am 5 months post-partum and have been on the pill since my period returned at 2 months post-partum).  This is the only birth control I use. I have an alarm set on my phone to go off at 1pm everyday and I take the pill at that exact time (or within 2 minutes of the exact time everyday, literally).  I don't mind that and don't find it a hassle. I like that it has been effective thus far (knock on wood). I do not like that I have my period every 2 weeks like clockwork.  It's light and only lasts 4 days but THAT is the hassle I find with this pill."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"No big deal people.  It doesn't taste great (salted cherry comes to mind) but it certainly is not unbearable. Started at 5pm and drank it slowly. Had first movement within 30 minutes before I even finished.  Bloating and watery movements for the next few hours about every half an hour. Definitely some bloating but nothing awful and no headaches. Used baby wipes and A&D ointment but didn't even need it. No soreness at all"


"I've had my skyla in for 4.5 months. The insertion sucked. It was very painful, which was expected, but the sensation of having your cervix opened and something put in it freaks your body out. I had cold sweats, nausea, and was worried I'd faint. About 30-45 minutes later I had horrible cramps, which are expected, I made my uterus very angry. Make sure to take ibuprofen before, and have a couple doses available for that day and the next. a heating pad works awesome too. I was on my period when I had it placed, and it lasted for 10 days after, though the last 6 days were mostly brown colored discharge. month 1 and 2 I had a couple ovariant cysts. All of my periods are 1.5 weeks long, and I have bad acne now. but it works to prevent pregnancy"


"I have taken this medicine for 4 months now due to not being able to sleep with the depression medicines I'm on. Ambien works wonders. I had a few odd moments where my child found me sleep walking, just in the fridge, hungry I guess. I saw things the first time I took a whole 10 mg. I'm glad others wrote reviews because my husband thought I was mental. Other then that it's been a blessing. I wake up at 6:30 every morning refreshed and brand new. I would tell anyone if you take it laying down. Don't go walk around it's meant for bedtime for a reason. It's worth a try for anyone not being able to sleep. Oh also I sleep from 9 to 6 every night. I may wake up once and I take nothing else for sleep."


"I had to take 2 g the 1st day and 2 g the second day. Just took the second dose of pills and I feel funny. My head is feeling weird and I feel sleepy. Had dark urine and a bad taste in my mouth - my tongue looks unhealthy too. But damn my vagina is feeling the bomb again. Smell went away right away. Btw I get BV when I am together with a person I don't wanna be with. Just a hint to some baby girls out there. Do you really like him? Cause sometimes the body answers the question for you. Deep. I know."


"It seems to do a great job for migraines and bipolar disorder at 120 mg. I won't stop it."


"Finally, something non-addictive that actually treats my migraines!
I take this with an aleve and I usually get relief within an hour, and the relief lasts a few hours (about 8)
Only downside is that it makes you really drowsy, and it makes you feel like "blah" for a few days  after you take it, but it's totally worth it in my opinion

Also, I feel safe taking it since it's the only option my doctor had that doesn't have any warning about possible addiction."


"Have reported some good experiences since I started to use it about a year ago. I can still get reasonable erections but on special occasions or 'date nights' used it for enhanced performance. Have found that it works best on a fairly empty stomach and very little alcohol but most importantly if you are feeling aroused. Wife loves the feeling of having a larger firmer erection and on our 'date night' dresses to tease and please - braless, short tight skirts and stockings and we both love guys admiring her ripe mature assets on display.  However on a recent trip away one night  when I hadn't planned to use it and ate and drank my wife wanted me to use it but in spite of both our efforts I could only manage a pretty poor erection."


"I took Ambien awhile back for insomnia. Within 20 minutes I was out. Woke up refreshed after 6 - 8 hours. Caution: for me, it was addicting and I could not sleep without it. Also for me, I would not remember activities I may or may not have done the night before. Unplug your phone, you may regret who you call and the conversation you had. I cannot take Ambien for those reasons, but it did work for getting to sleep!"


"Hardcore I.V heroin/everything user saved by this drug.
After 20 yrs of battling opiate/prison/whole bunch of crap, I leaned heavily on bupe. And broke a cycle that puts most people in a box 4 life.
From subutex to subox, to bunivail, I moved up the ladder.
I give credit to this drug and packing up moving south away from all connects. The drug aided me and opened up an opportunity to be productive. I was tired and 3 yrs later I sit clean, a beast job, chilling out on the beach.
I read all the  crying about this and that. Without this drug I was dead and to hear all this pampered rubbish about it rolling in your mouth, milligrams tricking you, man or woman - use it to be there for your loved ones."


"I was suffering from acne since 12 years. Now I am 27. I had took various costly treatments including chemical peeling and other cosmetic treatments. When I was 25 my skin specialist suggest me Yasmin. I took it for 11 months, in first month I had little bit headache and nausea but in second month there was no discomfort like that. In third month my face was almost clear and at the end (11th month) my skin started glowing there was not a single acne or marks on my face. Friends started asking about my glowing skin. I did not gain weight. But I stopped taking Yasmin after getting glowing skin within on year acne came back. Now I am starting it again. "


"20+ years of RR without awareness/disability. When it changed to SD with dizziness, poor balance, many falls, intense fatigue, foot drop, diminished walking, muscle spasms, bladder & bowel issues, MRIs confirmed without argument. I participated in Canadian study of "Fampyra" with measurements of ability before and after administration. Improvements were marked and I certainly couldn't deny the disease. Progression is manageable. When "Fampyra" was approved for use by Health Canada I continued on it. My insurer does not cover. I'm so grateful to be able to continue. Neurologist remains satisfied and so am I. It's not a cure. Comments of other users encourage physiotherapy to "keep and improve the ability I have". Thanks, I needed that!"


"DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT.  IT IS NOT EFFECTIVE.  After my second child I chose to try this option for birth control it was extremely uncomfortable being inserted and after a year and half found out that it had migrated into my stomach and I needed to have surgery to remove.  What kind of protection is this?  "


"I'm 40 years old and split 100mg in half. 50mg is strong enough..erection last for hours and maintain 100% after ejaculation. Its the best medicine out there. Highly recommend."


"I had a cold sore coming on and bought abreva put it on as directed the next day woke up with four more. I need to find something that works unlike this. Total waste of money."


"Have only been taking this for just over two weeks and the results have been almost unbelieveable.  I'd previously been taking quetiapine which made me drowsy, gave me horrible headaches and generally made me sleep and eat much more than I should have.
For the first time in my life I feel normal, I feel relaxed, it's allowed me to re-evaluate the way I think and behave. The only side effects I've suffered have been diarrhea and a reduced appetite but I can work with the reduced appetite better than I could deal with the increased appetite."


"My doctor had me take Suprep the day before the procedure. The first dose was at 7am and the next at 4 pm. No food allowed, just clear liquids and jello. The first dose and water I drank too fast and projectile vomited. Had enough in my system to have it work within ten minutes after. Took second dose at 4 pm and worked within five minutes. Tastes awful but much better than the gallon jugs of other medicine that used to be prescribed years ago. Second dose went a lot better, but if you have a sensitive stomach drink this as slow as you are allowed."


"I have been on Gianvi for a little over a month now, and the only bad thing that I have to say about it so far is that I have my moments where I feel sad, depressed and angry for no reason at all (glad my boyfriend understands). However, my last period was amazing! No cramps, light flow. So far it hasn't been all that bad."


"Nardil saved my life. I have used 60mgs a day for 30 years. I have no plans to withdraw. Several attempts to reduce the medicine and eliminate it. Met with very difficult psychological and physiological disturbances. I am now 73 and am committed to Nardil for the rest of my life if they keep making it.
"


"Mania and especially mixed mania are the problem. Geodon is my solution. I took myself off because of mouth moves. Bad move? Almost divorced. I can tell when I am manic because I have ideas and insights. Example: the graph of user ratings for geodon treatment of bipolar is itself bipolar. I was doing 3x80mg when the moves started. Back to 1x80 now. Will report back. p.s. great site. I've been here many times but my first post. Thought I should contribute."


"Female, 120 lbs. Was prescribed this medication for a parasitic infection (blastocystis) at 500 mg three times a day for 10 days. I had the pharmacist turn it into 250mg twice, 3 times a day as I have trouble swallowing large pills. After the first day of taking these I woke up at 2 am and vomited a total of 6 times before the gravol finally kicked in. Been taking gravol along with my meds ever since. Also been experiencing brain fog (possibly due to gravol), severe fatigue (gravol again?) and loss of appetite. You absolutely must eat food before taking these, especially if you are prone to nausea like me. Won't know if the med even works until I do a stool test after the 10 days."


"Depo worked great for me. Reading people's horror stories almost put me off, but I am glad I decided to try it. I had bleeding for the first few weeks after the first shot, but absolutely none since (I am between 2nd and 3rd shot now). I was on a diet when I got the first shot, my weight remained the same. I think the diet and shot canceled each other out."


"I can say that the only positive effect about this pill is that it prevented pregnancy. As long as I ate right before or after taking the pill I would not get nauseated. My periods never became lighter and I still had cramps. I did not develop acne or notice any weight gain, however. The reason why I stopped taking this pill was because I had overwhelming mood swings and depression. I also noticed a decrease in my sex drive."


"I found that so far, this birth control has been right for me. I think the key is taking it as soon as you wake up (easiest for me since I'm up at the same time daily). I did notice that I had a break out during this first month. Seemed to have eased my cramps when it came to my period. I still don't have unprotected sex , so I'm not sure of its effectiveness against pregnancy within my body. It's cheap. That's a huge plus, 8 dollars a month with my insurance. I also notice that it made my breasts hurt tremendously during the first few weeks . There are some side effects that come with this medication but I can deal with that instead of worrying about pregnancy. I would recommend others trying it just to see how it works with your body :)"


"I had Mirena twice. The first time I was thinking on getting it out because it hurt when I had sex and when it fell out I decided to get another one put in. It's been in since Dec. 11 and I don't feel it anymore, little to no period and no more pain during sex. My breakouts are clearing up little by little and sex drive has NOT been affected. "


"I have been on this drug about 2 months.I like to know if anyone taking it has experienced eye problems? it  could be coincidental but I am getting type of hives on my eye and stys which I never had before.  the other  side effect  for me are getting hives on my hand but just for a couple of days then they disappear.

More concerned about eyes . Like to know if anyone had similar experience?

Cholesterol level dropping but not drastically yet"


"Love it. Been prescribed it for 3 months. Works great and makes me feel more happier and also improves my sleep"


"I felt MUCH better rather quickly, however, roughly 3 days into the medication I experienced diarhea which subsided by day 5 and was followed by horrid itching of my anus. On day 9 the itching had spread to my lady areas. I am miserable and will never take this again...."


"Caught a cold which gradually started affecting my chest and lungs. I typically avoid the doctors but after a few weeks of severe coughing and wheezing, I went to the doctor and was initially prescribed a z pak. This antibiotic did nothing for me. After finishing that round of antibiotics, I dropped by urgent care and the doctor prescribed me 10 days of 500mg Levofloxacin. I experienced zero side effects except for insomnia and feeling a little warmer than usual at night the first night. Highly recommend taking this antibiotic either with breakfast or lunch, not dinner. I just finished my 10 day dose and although I still have a slight cough and post nasal drip still, my wheezing is completely gone and I'm feeling like I'm getting better."


"When prescribed, I really didn't think this was going to work. I have pretty much been overweight my entire life. My doctor reccomend I take phentermine, mainly because diabetes was in my family history. December 31st, weighing 263, I began to take half of a 37.5 tablet. The first day, I was super dizzy for the first few hours. But I never felt that sensation again. I haven't really felt any symptoms related to the pill. Today I went in for my weigh in, and I weighed 246, so a totally lose of 17 pounds in 42 days. Although I wish it were a larger weight loss, I do have to take into consideration that I haven't really exercises. But my diet has changed radically. I would recommend to give it a chance. You never know what could happen."


"I suffered for years, this is the only medicine that got rid of my migraines. Everything else just calmed the migraines down but they did not go away. I also found it worked for seasickness, I would get violently sick even on mild water. Now I can enjoy the ocean. I now will be the only one not sick on rough days. I take it with an aspirin and caffeine pill. If you find it doesn't work you might have to up the dose."


"Side effect: rash"


"I'm only giving Estrace Cream a 3 rating on the scale due to there being issues with the product.  I have been using this product for a couple of years. It did help until the last few months, I went from using it 2-3 times a week to needing it every other day.  My frustration comes from the amount that actually is in the tube. It says there is 42.5 grams in the tube, I alway keep track of the amount in the tube and end up with about 24 grams out of the tube in the end. Has anyone else kept track of this?

Also, I can't afford it when I went yesterday to pick up a new tube and they wanted $290 for 1 tube?!! Why would it be this expensive? That was even after my insurance paid a portion."


"Had unprotected sex on November 11th, no condom, no birth control (highly don’t recommend). He came inside me and I panicked and got Aftera less than 30 minutes later. The next couple days I experienced headaches and nausea. I got my period yesterday, early, and have had more intense symptoms than usual. Try to relax and trust in the pill, it works."


"My Doctor recommended Mucinex a year ago and I tried it and the results were like speed for me. I could not sleep while on this stuff. So I tried something else. Finally realized I can not take anything with Guaifenesin in it."


"I started when I was 16 and am now almost 21. I love it, I didn't experience weight gain although I did bleed consecutively for five months after being on it for four years (this last year has been fine). It thinned my uterine lining immensely but with a few estrogen pills it was fixed."


"I get major muscle pains in my legs it feels like I want to peel the muscles off my legs due to opiate withdrawal."


"I was placed on Keppra in January 2009 by an emergency room physician after a reported seizure, which had no professional diagnosis. A neurologist whom I saw post emergency kept me on the medication as I reported no side effects. I had what I now believe to be a fainting spell related to an atrial fibrillation condition of my heart and a strenuous run, without a "cool-down". I am pushing to get off this drug, as I experience dizziness, light-headedness, sleepiness and somnolence, fatigue and exhaustion most of the time. I am a 2008 Herat Valve transplant recipient and on diuretics and blood thinners, both required to avoid congestive heart failure and embolisms(artificial valve)."


"I was diagnosed with narcolepsy wth cataplexy about two years ago. I was always the friend in the group that was falling asleep in the car, movies, and middle of class. I actually got voted "most likely to be sleeping in class" for my senior year. Even though it was funny for others, it's not for me. It's so hard to live a normal life when your constantly tired and all you want to do is sleep. I took nuvigil for the first year and half. It was working fine but I grew a tolerance for it with adverse effects. I started adderall 1/2 a year ago and it's the best thing ever. I've never felt so normal before in my life. I take 10mg XR when I wake up along with 10 mg regular release tab. And 10mg later on in the day. Best choice ever by my doctor!!"


"I have been taking this for a year now and I think it's wonderful. I haven't had a cyst rupture since I've been on it. I've had four ovarian cysts rupture and I'm only 18, they started when I was 14. I have been on 5 different birth controls and this is by far the best."


"Very good for me, the only complaint I have is that it's expensive and a premium co-pay on my Insurance. "


"Liked the first bottle and seems to be working.

SEcond bottle round not oval, VERY,  VERY hard to press for a drop, can't tell if there is a drop or not as the brush is so thick until it is put right on the nail and by then there may be 2 drops on the brush.  VERY VERY difficult to tell how much you are using at $83.00 per bottle which lasts 3 weeks this is a very expensive  way to use.

I had no problem with the first bottle. Oval in shape easy to squeeze for a drop, brush was easy to see what you are doing."


"I've been taking zoloft for 6 months and it wasn't enough and making me tired. Great for anxiety. So my doctor added wellbutrin. So far I've been taking half of a 1/4 th of a 150mg tablet. It has helped. I know I'm not feeling the best I have but life has been way more tolerable. I'm going to up my dose and I'm sure I'll feel even better. Best of luck to anyone trying this. Didn't notice side effects either."


"This pill regulated my period but every month I dealt with yeast infections. I never experienced them until i started this pill. Each month, 1 week before my period I would get one. "


"Worked very well.  Triglicerides went from 2,000 to 600 in just 3 weeks.  The only medication that worked for me."


"I've been suffering for 15+ years with migraines. I prefer not to take prescription medication but had tried homeopathic remedies, adjusted my diet and lived a very regimented lifestyle but would still have 8+ migraines a month. Was prescribed 10 mg in the evening. I started taking 5 mg to slowly start my body on it and minimize side effects---been on 5 mg for the last 6 weeks and have had tremendous success. Side effects: sleepiness in the am--so I take the pill about 6:30 in the evening and have minimal sleepiness in the morning. I was worried about weight gain but haven't seen it (I'm 110 so it would be noticeable). Dry mouth--I just drink more water. Other than that, minimal side effects."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Followed the instructions to the latter and it did not work. I did not have a bowel movement until 11 hours after the first dose. My doctor had to abort the colonoscopy. We are going to use a different prep next time. MoviPrep really tastes horrible also. It took three days for MoviPrep to clear out of my system and for me to have a solid bowel movement."


"just a quick note to maybe help a few folks. When I change patches I thoroughly clean the skin for the new patch and after sticking it on I press it firmly against the skin for 1 minute and the press each end of the patch for an additional 30 seconds or longer. I have not had a patch come off early in well over a year. Currently use the sandoz generics at 100 mcg every 2 days.  Hope this info is able to help anyone."


"Decent. Switched from androgel so I don't have to wear a plastic bubble to touch my wife or hug kids. It's easier to use without drawing attention to myself. Gotta use three times a day, but i just use after each meal. Working well so far."


"After reading the negative reviews of implanon I will admit that I was slightly nervous to get the birth control. After comparing it to the other options I decided it was probably my best bet, due to the fact I struggle remembering to take a pill every day at the same time. I would have to say this is one of the best decisions I have ever made! There is absolutely no pain when you get Implanon inserted and it is one of the quickest things I have ever had done! Implanon is very convenient and effective. I have not experienced many negative side effects from the birth control. In fact, I have actually lost weight after starting it. The only side effects I have noticed is that my menstrual cramps have increased slightly. Definitely worth it!"


"Weigh your options.  The medicine may work but the side effects may be worse.  My son was vomiting often, had severe abdominal pain and had some difficulty breathing while taking this medicine."


"It does produce a burning sensation the first two weeks. After that it is a gentle warming sensation and really eases the pain in my back injury. It is absolutely worth putting up with the initial burning sensation."


"Used the 3 day monistat per recommendation of my obgyn nurse and holy moly this burns like no other. I jumped in the bath and literally scraped as much out as possible...that helped but I am still more uncomfortable than before. I put coconut oil in and around and that has drastically helped the burning and itching. Hope this helps. DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT!"


"I was prescribed a 500mg 3x a day dosage for 10 days. I always have issues with antibiotics but this by far is the worst side effects I've ever had! The metallic taste, diarrhea, headaches and overall feeling is horrible. I just completed day 5 and it was so bad that I wanted to stick my fingers down my throat and force myself to throw up! I also started to developed oral thrush! The medicine does seem to be working but I'm not taking all 10 days.  I feel like I can barely make it to 7!!"


"This stuff is the bomb.   As soon as I get any feeling like a cold sore I apply it and boom it goes away!  I have prescription pills to get rid of it but don't see the point taking meds when this does the trick!"


"I am 20 years old I've been on Phentermine 30mg since 2 months ago .My starting weight was 166lb , 1st week I lost 7 pounds. I'm such a procrastinator it took me 2 months to finish the first 30 pills ! I recently just went to the Doctors & lost 14 pounds all together so I am now 152 ;)! Still exciting ! Only problems I have is dry mouth . I also procrastinated using the pills because I could never eat! When I did eat on the days I used it, it was like snack size and my stomach would hurt ! I had lots of energy it makes me moody & it kept me up a lot at first but I'm back to normal (kind of) ! I could not believed it worked though I am still kinda disbelief! I hope with this new bottle I end up 138 and i will be done! No exercise either!"


"I had skyla in for about a year and a half my period was very irregular.  I was having a period every two weeks and eventually I had pain and felt pregnancy symptoms.  I was later rushed to the ER for emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, had to have my right tube removed.  My doctor was very upset.  She has been issuing Mirena for over ten years and has never had an ectopic pregnancy.  In the pass few years of inserting skyla she has seen FIVE ectopic pregnancies in women.  She now refuses to insert it in any of her patience and asks the skyla company to leave every time they visit or else very soon they are going to have a lawsuit on their hands!"


"I'm a 5'11 205lb size 12 former athlete and current teacher/coach. I work out 5-6 times a week and watch what I eat pretty closely.  Long story short, I lost about 75lbs 4 years ago and have kept it off, but haven't had any luck recently losing more. I'd like to lose another 20lbs. My doctor checked my thyroid and some other things and offered this option.  Said I needed a big boost to help make a change and a super low calorie diet wasn't the best fit for me. I've just completed the 14 day intro and lost 3.6lbs (which was over Thanksgiving). Only side effects thus far are tingly hands sometimes at night. My advice..whatever you try to help lose, a life style change which includes eating right & exercise is a MUST especially to maintain."


"I have been on Saphris now for 1 month. I have not been this happy in 35 years!  I am working out ever day now at the local health club. Last night I swam for over 40 minutes straight.  The only side-effect of this med is excellent REM sleep and a good night's rest.  Heaven help you if you don't have insurance....Very Pricey $$$$$"


"I took 2 rounds of Mycelex Troche lozenges, 10 days each, 5 lozenges per day. I still have a raw area on inside of lower lip and do not feel "cured." I am going to ask my Doctor to try Diflucan next. I take a probiotic daily, a multi-vitamin and eat yogurt, yet this has never resolved."


"My grandaughter ran a 102 fever that night so the next day we took her to the doc. And they gave her tamiflu after testing her twice, the first came out negetive then the second was positive so not knowing any of the side effects we gave it to her after she had eaten and gave it to her with applesauce and thank god she had none of the side effects everyone has mentioned ,so we gave it to her for two days and she is not running a fever now so where sending her back to school. I don't know if she really had the flu or not since me and my wife was sick for a week before she got sick and we both had low fevers for three days and congestion and cough.  After reading all the horror stories I will never take it. Just suffer it out and run its coarse."


"Took lutera for 5 months, probably my worst birth control experience.

Pros: Not Pregnant! So, at least that part worked.

Cons: my face EXPLODED in acne. Other kinds I've tried controlled the acne very well, but this seemed to make my skin turn into a minefield of sore, red, under-the-skin pimples. I've been off it for almost 2 months and my face is much better. Also, had terrible mood swings. I even hit my boyfriend with a shoe :( I've felt much better and much more like myself since then. It gave me this strange, clear discharge all the tim too, that is all gone now."


"Besides the high cost, the effectiveness of this medication is diminished, due to the side effects. I started on this medication for nine days and stopped. Constipation was the primary side effect almost at the first day, the worst I ever had, in addition to abdominal pain, slight headache and bloating. My Doctor did warn me about the side effects."


"I have been on so many anti-depressant medications over the last 20 years. I have never had anything make me feel better and so quickly. I was given 50 mg a day for approximately 1 month and then my doctor upped me to 100 mg ER a day, which I take first thing in the morning. Let me tell you I haven't been this cheery and upbeat for 20 years. I really mean this seriously I can't believe that this medication makes me feel so good and its also suppressed my appetite. What could be better than that?"


"Had a little stomach cramping and nausea just as with any other laxatives I've taken.  I'm very satisfied though because it really cleaned me out.  Exactly what I wanted!!!.  Thank you!!!"


"My Doctor prescribed Alesse for me after convincing me to get off of Diane 35, as it had a much lower hormone dose. Almost immediately I began suffering from abdominal cramps, spotting unpredictably, and increased acne on my back, shoulders and jawline. I expected much of this from reading about coming off of Diane and my Dr assured me it would only last a few months. It's been nearly a year later and although the spotting and cramping has subsided, the acne is still there (I can't even wear a top without a hood, let alone a tank top or bathing suit!) and I'm displaying huge lack of interest in life. I have some good days, but spend a lot of time feeling unmotivated, tired, uninterested, etc. I want my life back."


"I had hyperpigmentation AND blotchy skin - and really feel the Somaluxe Moisturizer is starting to make a difference. I am a 37 year old woman and have been very unhappy with my skin for quite awhile now. I have continued with daily use of the Somaluxe Moisturizer and my skin is looking so much brighter and fresher, I've even had afew compliments telling me I look healthier and fresh.  My hyperpigmentation has started to break up a little bit, giving me little dotted about patches of normal skin tone, so I'm hoping afew more weeks down the line that it will of more or less cleared up. Fingers crossed."


"This works. I'm never hungry, I am full of energy, I am not moody.  It last a little too long for my taste, but it is well worth it.  As long as I can catch at least 6 hours of sleep, I'm okay.  I know how to eat right for the diet, but this works well to keep cravings for snacks and fast food away."


"Like many people who have commented, I have been on heavy dose of opiates for 20 years with severe constipation.  Dr. recommended Movantik and I took it exactly as directed, and I had horrible side effects, terrible cramping, diarrhea, sweating, hot flashes and essentially the misery of full blown withdrawal.  I have a huge bottle of Movantik, and I plan to let that bottle collect dust forever.  Ill try everything under the sun before I turn to that again."


"I have been on Seroquel for 4 months now. I have terrible insomnia and racing thoughts because of my bipolar disorder. This drug worked wonders for me and now I can finally sleep at night without my mind racing for hours."


"Oh my gosh. I bought the 3 day pack and I must say the burning and itching Is so intense. I really thought something was wrong with me ! I can't handle this. I'm calling my dr. First thing in the morning."


"I thought this was the diet pill that I had been waiting for since trying plenty of others and the first month it worked like a dream. Lost 10 pounds but the second month all I have lost so far is the $167.00 it cost to refill it."


"My son is 13 and has been taking Tev-Tropin with the T-Jet device for nearly a year and he has not grown at all, maybe an inch."


"People who are giving this a bad review either aren't letting it get into their system or are some of the few that will suffer from the side effects that come along with taking any medication.  People who write a bad review saying they have only been on it for 6 weeks or a couple months have not let their body adjust to a new pill.  I have been on this pill for 6 months now and have no real complaints.  In the beginning I spotted here and there and my period lasted longer than 4 days.  It is better than bleeding for 6-7 days. Give it a chance."


"Was switched to this birth control, after my previous birth control was back ordered at my pharmacy. Within 2 months, noticed extreme mood changes/swing, depression, severe anxiety- picking fights and crying for no reason. I've never written a review for anything in my life- however this pill has affected me significantly different than the non-generic version ( Microgestin Fe), despite being told it "is the same makeup".

Everyone reacts to pills differently, however be cautious if switching from the non-generic version."


"Works real good, my doctor is happy now. The only side effect is large hard stool which plugs the bathroom plumbing up every time, so I need to carry a plunger with me when away from home. Have been on it for about 3 months now, 100mg daily, along with 1000mg Metformin twice daily, and 4mg Glipizide twice daily."


"Been having worsening migraines for 8 or more years. Tried so many different things, I am basically disabled at this point sick almost daily from either migraine or rebound day. After Topamax, steroids, beta blockers, you name it I've tried it. Finally I've been put on nortriptyline, after 2 weeks I haven't had a single migraine. I hate to be skeptical but it's almost too good to believe for me since I've been sick so long, so I will be reporting back soon. But I even feel differently just how my brain feels. Right now I'm quite thrilled and the results seem to be what's reported by everyone else here (taking 25mg at night)."


"This was the very first pill I was prescribed and stayed on it for 3 years. I decided to try something new and switched to a different pill. Needless to say I'm switching back. When on Microgestin Fe 1/20 I experienced relatively no side effects besides a few pounds of weight gain and my breasts grew about 2-3 cup sizes. My skin was perfect and no nausea, depression, or painful periods. The pill was very effective in preventing pregnancy didn't have 1 scare in the 3 years I was using it. When I first started the pill probably around month 6 I did experience a decreased sex drive but it returned within about a month or two. Overall, I would highly recommend this pill!"


"I had a Reverse Shoulder Replacement, August 23, 2017. I was given a Nerve Block as well as an injection of Exparel. It made recovery so much easier! The Nerve Block didn't wear off for 24 hours and the Exparel lasted for about 3 days. to be spared the immediate pain from major surgery for those first few days was such a blessing. Especially compared to my Total Knee Replacement 28 years ago, where I was in agony from the moment I woke up from surgery. Wonderful results!"


"Got some notable relief from bursitis pain in the shoulder but side effects became unbearable an hour after each dose. Lightheadedness upon standing, fatigue, abdominal nausea and cramping. Dr. changed to Prednisone 20mg with immediate results and no side effects."


"I've been on over half of the ADHD medications on the list, and all of them either made it worse, or added on to the tic the first medication gave me. I started taking Concerta about two years ago, and I remember improving in school greatly. It works fast, and helps a lot"

"I was having a very hard time with the anxiety of thinking something was wrong with my heart (which turned out to be nothing), when I was put on Remeron.  I had virtually stopped eating, and just felt very anxious and not myself.  It helped a good bit with the anxiety, but it turbo charged my appetite.  Would not recommend this to anyone who is overweight, but it's great for anxiety sufferers who lose their appetite when they get anxious.  It does make you very sleepy the first week or so you take it, so I would take it before bed.  I didn't notice any sexual side effects though, which was another big selling point.  The sedation seems stronger at lower doses, and I had some bizarre dreams at lower doses as well."


"I never realized I had OCD until I saw a therapist after having my baby... my whole like I was labeled as "high strung" and to be honest I didn't believe the therapist when she diagnosed me. After a long and agonizing series of events I reluctantly started lexapro 10mg (didn't believe in taking meds). After 3 weeks I could not believe how much more relaxed I felt.I never realized how severe my panic and anxiety was until I got to experience life without it. My rituals even subsided (never knew I had rituals until I stopped doing them) In the end I am glad I started the meds. Only side effect has been decreased sex drive, but it's manageable and both myself and my husband are much happier now that I can function better and enjoy daily life."


"I was in a car accident a few years ago. After that I had a panic attack when I would have to ride in a car. My doctor prescribed me 1 mg whenever I had to ride and it helped great. Now my doctor relocated and no other doctors will prescribe it. It causes problems between me and my wife."


"My daughter had an non IGE mediated allergic reaction to this medication in Sept 2016 and in May 2017. It caused to her have high fever and chills, temps of 104.6 for 5 days in a row and stomach pain behind her belly button. She threw up one morning from the fever."


"I have peripheral neuropathy, my arms, hands, legs and feet are all affected, my legs and feet get ice cold. I have been taking Neurontin for 4 years now. For me it's not working I was taking 1800 mg a day. I had to call the doctor the other day the pain was so bad and he changed my dose to a higher 1800 mg a day. It's been 3 days and the pain level has not changed."


"The most common side effects of Amoxicillin include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, rash and itching. Among the rarer and more dangerous Amoxil side effects that might be observed are included blood disorders and inflammation of the large intestine.

As long as the doctor prescribed dosage of Amoxil is followed, the chances of adverse symptoms appearing are very less. Amoxicillin is generally a very safe medication. "


"I've taken Fanapt for about a month and it feels as though I'm taking nothing for my mental illness. Plus I'm achy all over, have heart palpitations and feel agitated all the time. I'm going back to zyprexa"


"This medication has allowed me to have a life now that I am not forced to sleep 14 hours a day. While it does do wonders it still in most cases isn't a complete cure (at least not for me) and I take stimulants to maintain a wakeful state."


"'Came down with what seemed like a bad bout of influenza on a Friday night. Absent from work Monday, and Tuesday.  Wednesday and my cough is dry, chest heavy, gurgling sound in my chest. I thought it was wheezing, but that sound didn't go away even after inhalers.  I regret returning to work on Wednesday, but I've used up my sick time. Doctor gave me Rocephin on Thursday morning. By Thursday evening, I'm feeling good enough to be bored and wanting to return to work!  The creators of this medicine deserve Nobel Prize!"


"I got my nexplanon inserted on 10/27/2014, and was really excited about it. I did not have any adverse reactions at first, but after 2 months I started having very irregular periods. I would begin my period which would last about ten days and then 5 days later I would have it again. Sometimes this pattern was followed by 2 months of no period or I would be bleeding again five to ten days after just having my period. The worst part of this birth control was by far the weight gain. After one year of having this in my body I gained a total of 35 pounds. I have always been pretty consistent with maintaining my weight and losing it when trying, but I could NOT lose it. I now have stretch marks on my stomach from NOT being pregnant......"


"Had my colonoscopy today after putting it off for a couple of months because of the prep.  This was my fifth colonoscopy and Suprep was by far the easiest for me.  I was very skeptical, especially after reading some of the reviews on this site. But there were also some very good suggestions for getting it down, as well.  I started the prep last night at 6:30.  I kept the Suprep in the fridge and mixed it with 8 oz of 7-up and cold water.  Also divided it into four 4 oz cups and drank it through a straw.  Keep lemon wedges nearby to suck on after each cup.  Got it all down within 5 minutes.  It started working within a half hour and I was pretty much done by 8:30.  I never had nausea, vomiting or cramping.  This morning I repeated the above."


"I had left S I joint pain for 8 yrs been to a million drs, tried a million remedies. But my dr put me on Cymbalta. A few days later I ended up in ER with excruciating pain. But when they added a shot of Lorazepam the pain I'd had for years went away. For 9 months, with the combo of Cymbalta 60mg and Lorazapam 2 mg I was completely pain free, but after 9 months the effectiveness has waned. I still take both meds to take the edge off the pain but nothing else really works. Except when I was told I had Fibromyalgia and night sweats and I found out those are caused by LYME DISEASE. Luckily I found a LYME LITERATE DR who is treating me."


"I have to review this medication in hopes women that are suffering with menopausal symptoms may be helped. I read some pretty bad reviews on this drug so I was reluctant to try it. But in the the two weeks that I have taken Brisale my mood has improved and my hot flashes have been reduced to about 1 to 2 a day. Also they are less severe. The night sweats have been reduced to maybe 1 episode per night when before I had 4 to 5. Also my mood is so much better and I feel like my energy has increased. The only drawback is the $200.00 a month cost but I'm increasing my HSA  to pay for this drug because I  feel so much better."


"This is great for getting off any prescription meds. I was addicted to pain killers, then started suboxone. Wow. Works great. Still a little discomfort coming off the suboxone, but nothing like trying to stop straight from pain killers. If you really want to get off pain killers, this is it. But don't be a fool and use pain killers and then use subozone as a back up, you will never get better. You must be willing to stop all pain killers for good, 1 year later I took a pain killer and threw me into withdrawals."


"I have had panic attacks for the last five years or so and they terrify me. Xanax seems to be the only drug that seems to control them at all. I've been prescibed antidepressants that seem to help somewhat but not completely. Thanks for Xanax."


"Been on epclusa for 6 weeks now. I'm pretty tired, nothing I can't handle....but, I am concerned with the shooting pains in different parts of my body, the numbing sensations throughout my legs, muscle spasms, and ear ringing. I really hope these side effects go away once I stop treatment. They are disconcerting. I hope everyone writes follow up reviews a few months off treatment as well....all in all, nothing I can't handle and better than the riba."


"I've been on Kariva for 8 years with no problems (before Kariva I was on the brand name Mircette - same thing). Four years ago, with the blessings of my gynecologist, I stopped taking the 4th week all together. Haven't had my period for four years, no breakthrough bleeding, no spotting, no worries."


"Have been on it 2 years now.  It has maintained blood pressure 130's over 80's. "


"Woke up with dizziness and terrible nausea.  After 5 hours of dry heaving, went to doctor.  One injection and nausea gone almost immediately.  Slept for 3 hours, then ate dry bagel, chicken soup without any problems.  Next day, eating normally but feel tired and a little "under the weather"."


"I had my Mirena IUD placed about four months ago. I HIGHLY recommend it *if* you want long-term easy birth control and are able to wait out the two to three month adjustment phase (which I'm sure is shorter or longer depending). Now, I forget I have it.

BUT the first two months after I got it, I wanted it out. For one thing, my fingers are too short and I couldn't feel the strings, meaning I have to go in to have it checked slightly more often than normal. I had spotting, waves of cramping, breast tenderness, my period every two weeks that lasted 7-10 days (which was pretty annoying). I didn't have a decreased sex drive, but because my body felt so out of whack, I didn't feel like having sex. If you can wait, do."


"I started taking Lexapro for major depressive disorder about 8 months ago. It started to work great and I got my energy back. I wasn't as depressed either, but that only lasted about 7 months. After a while my sex drive completely went away and it put a strain on my relationship. I also noticed I started to become more depressed as the time went on. I started to lose all the energy the medicine gave me. I tried to ween off of the medicine and it gave me terrible head aches and horrible nausea. I currently have been perscribed Effexor, hoping that will help with the sex drive."


"Movantik works.  Its somewhat inconsistent.  Most days I can count on it.

On an occasional day things don't move as well.  On those days I supplement with a dulcolax suppository. Be advised that it may take 2-3 days for your system to get used to it.  I felt a little tired and edgy. I think that's because it may induce some opiate withdrawal effects.  It was only temporary and tolerable.  These are all minor issues.  Like I said, it works and that a big relief for an opiate user."


"I have been taking Monodox for around a month along with Duac gel (5% bp, 1% clindamycin) at night and Atralin (0.05% tretinoin) gel in the morning. While I can say that this antibiotic is definitely working, I have one complaint. My skin is seriously oily now. SERIOUSLY oily. I mean, I need to use around 3 oil absorbing sheets a day. I've gone through 3 or 4 packs of oil sheets. But, this works. It really has helped to eliminate large pimples. Occasionally a large one will occur, but it's usually now smaller red specks or an occasional white head. I am told in another month I can see more results, and I hope that it happens, because if it does, my skin will be clear!"


"I have been on xanaflex 4mg 3x a day that I take at night ti help me sleep. It helps the muscle spasms in my legs and allows me to sleep. The only problem I have is that it only lasts 4 hours and then I wake up. Works best if you take thr xanaflex, wait 30 minutes and then eat something and the xanaflex will work that much better."


"This is awful! Never felt this bad! Bloating, mood swings, boobs hurt, feel fat all the time and I don't know how long I'm gonna have my period! I don't think it's gonna ever end and sex is completely out of the question! I feel like a crazy person! Mad at the world and can't stand myself! I'm only on my first week second month in!"


"I am 7 weeks into taking Contrave. I have lost 22 pounds. I am having problems with headache, nausea, constipation, problems sleeping, abdominal pain, and difficulty focusing. Overall, I feel like I have managing these symptoms in order to continue with the weightless."


"Things to be mindful of: Can cause extreme anorexia-be careful if you are struggling with anorexia or bulimia nervosa; Helps reduce binge eating greatly- good for binge eating disorder and bulimia when the person is trying to correct bingeing and not abusing the drug as a way of losing weight; Can cause depression, suicidal ideations, and tiredness- Usually is a result of taking a dose that is too high and the symptoms usually occur once the meds start to wear off; Can cause severe anxiety- taking Vyvanse at a dose that is too high can cause severe anxiety, this can usually be resolved by lowering the dose.

Some of these things can be resolved by adjusting the dosage but sometimes a specific medication doesn't work well with your body."


"On requip several yrs when it stopped working.  Switched to Mirapex 1 mg and had immediate relief.  Now, 6 months later, RLS back for 3 to 4 hours at bedtime.  Also some symptoms during day, so sometimes take .5 mgs during day with some relief.  No significant side effects."


"I've been on Junel Fe for 4 months now and it is horrible! I have never had anxiety this bad and I cry all the time over the littlest things!! I am tired all the time and my boyfriend has noticed that I've become a lot more emotionally unstable since starting this pill. My last two periods lasted over two weeks and they were very heavy. I would not recommend if you struggle with anxiety or depression. The one good thing that came out of this is that I'm not pregnant lol"


"This has got to be the biggest mistake of my thirties! I did not check the reviews before purchasing this awful, awful product. I inserted the pre-filled application around midnight before bed last night. No immediate burning. I fall asleep only to wake up 3 hours later with my hands in my pants trying to figure out what the hell was going on! My vag has been a hot mess since 3 a.m. I recall trying to wipe the meds away. Got up this morning to a great deal had come out from walking around getting ready for work. This vag has not stopped burning all damn day. It burns like hell to pee because it sets more fire to the inferno. Please FDA take this stuff off of the shelves. I have a hydrocodone somewhere...."


"I had impetigo on my face and corner of my mouth. It was very painful. I started using Altabax and I had relief within a day."


"I have been on this medication at 75mg for two weeks now and have lost 12 lbs. I feel great. There was some side effect the first few days but all that is left is a dry mouth but I just drink alot of water which is actually good for me because previously I was horrible at drinking it. I will be monitored monthly by my doctor to ensure safety and am so far satisfied with the beginning results."


"Today is my first day taking belviq. I am excited and hopeful this will help me lose weight. After having a child I'm finding it extremely hard to lose the weight on my own. I am 26 years old 5'7 and weighing in at 265... Wish me luck!"


"So far this drug is amazing!  I did my first injection of 75 mg on 1-6-2016.  I had a lipid panel drawn on 1-8-2106 to see what my starting base line will be.  In the 48 hours between the injection and the lipid panel, the results were nothing less than miraculous.  My total cholesterol went from 222 to 170, LDL from 152 to 96!  I can't wait to see the results at 30 days and on.

The self injection was virtually painless and quick.  I didn't even have any injection site reactions like swelling or redness and I always have those side effects from almost all shots.

I'm not on the Pralulent payroll, just a 68 year old man who couldn't take statin's and now have a great alternative drug.  I hope you have the same results as I have.."


"I found lysine to be my miracle for relief of my genital herpes outbreaks."


"I'm in my mid 40's, been drinking daily for as at least the last 5 years. Writing that is embarrassing, but each day around 4 my brain would be buzzing and only relief was drinking. My choice was red wine, usually 1 to 2 bottles a day, more on weekends.  When I was honest with my Doctor, he had me try to reduce independently for 3 weeks, with no luck he put me on this medicine. It's a life changer, after 5 days and normally 12 bottles, I've only had 2 bottles. When I drink now it's out of hand to mouth habit, but it has no affect and really makes me feel sick. Best of all I feel fantastic in the morning and for once I have hope for a battle I had zero control over. I wrote a letter to my Doctor thanking him. So many wasted years, no more."


"Great medicine. Works great, stops itching and dries up blister in 24 hours."


"My shot ended in August and since then I have been constantly bleeding. I went in and saw a doctor about this issue and they told me to take 3 pain relievers 4 times a day to stop the bleeding. I have tried that and I am still bleeding. I will never get on this shot again. I have been on this shot before and never had issues like this."


"I have excessive underarm sweating and I thought I would give Drysol a go which is an over the counter medicine here in Canada. I was hoping that it would work and I could wear clothes instead of putting on jackets in the summer. On my first application I dried my armpits and slowly applied it around my armpit and only noticed a little tingling sensation at first. During the night it itched a little bit but nothing too bad, the next day I noticed I was still sweating so I thought it would work the next day. On the 3rd night I applied it my armpit started to burn really badly, it burned to the point where I couldn't sleep all night and I was still sweating like before. "


"My son has been hospitalized 4 times in the past 5 years.The doctors have prescribed a myriad of of concoctions over these years. I've seen my son go from a healthy 160 teenager to a 210 lb unhealthy sluggish overmedicated sad shell of a person. When he was introduced to perphenazine he seemed to come back to life. But,unfortunately as soon as we see real results he quits taking the pills and it all starts all over again. How can I get my son to stick to taking his medication?Any suggestions??"


"I'm 43 and recently widowed. My wife was an alcoholic and it was a turn off for sex. For years, I kept telling myself I won't let her get me excited. I started realizing that I wasn't able to gain a full erection and thought it was due to high blood pressure. That, or I psychologically made myself erectile dysfunction. A while after she passed, I met someone amazing, but my performance was less than amazing and I feared I would lose her. I asked my doctor if there was something I could do. He prescribed Viagra at 50mg. After reading what everyone posted here, I cut one in half, but, once it took affect, it was JUST better than without. I took the rest and was rock hard. I even had a couple beers after to celebrate. Woke up hard as well. No side effects."


"I had suffered from rather bad acne case since the age of 14. For the next 22 years, I tried all kinds of topical solutions and diets but nothing really worked except that salicylic acid reduced the severity.  I picked up on my face and my acne has left lots of scars. Finally, at age 36, I tried isotretinoin, 40 mg daily for 5 months. It was almost magical! The acne cleared permanently! I still have slightly oily skin, but have 98% less acne! After one year, I used a touch-up treatment of 1 month for 40mg. Over 5 years passed and my skin is 98% clear. The only side effect was dry and possibly thinner hair, which mostly went away once I was off the medicine. I only wish I started it when I was a teen!"


"After my son had the croup for three weeks and spent ten days on Augmentin and fighting with a two year old to administer it twice a day, he developed a severe sinus infection. The physician prescribed liquid Zithromax that had to be given once per day and only for five days and did not need to be refrigerated which was great since we were traveling and best of all it got rid of the croup and the sinus infection very fast - it's a winner."


"I've been taking metformin for almost a week now to help me with PCOS and IR and to regulate my periods.

Me BEFORE taking it: almost always tired, feeling hungry and craving food all the time (especially sweets) even after meals, mood swings, myalgia or muscle aching especially my legs,  hypoglycaemia: I'd get weak and shivery if I go without food for more than 3 hours during the day, awful.

Me AFTER metformin: I'm more energetic, my mood is way better, the muscle aching is gone and I only eat 3 meals a day now without craving anymore.

I know it might be early to judge this med, but to see such result in a week is very promising to someone whose been ttc for 4 years, I'm hoping it will induce my period and eventually get a BFP."


"I have severe anxiety including social anxiety that confines me to my apartment 95% of the time. I also suffer from trichotillomania where my anxiety is so bad I pull my hair out. Have had this for 20 years and all the shrinks could not help me. I am 32 years old and just recently have been put on Xanax 0.5mg 3 times daily as needed. Well the first week I slept and slept, which is good because I wasn't sleeping before. I also have bipolar disorder and severe depression. Pristiq helps a little but I am allergic to everything else. Xanax slows down my racing thoughts so I can think clearer and make decisions easier and is helping with the hair pulling but am still desperately searching for help with that and have not found it."


"Day 1 morning was fine.  By 2 pm I had a miserable headache.  Went home got straight in bed and didn't wake up for 12 hours.  Day 2 I took pill in morning again, felt light-headed all day and got dull headache by end of day.  Day 3 I took pill in morning and by noontime, OMG - I felt horrible and went to bed.  I haven't had another pill since day 3 and it's now Day 6 and I'm still feeling miserable.  I just want this medicine out of my body."


"Dr. decided to try Latuda. The side effects completely outweighed the benefits for me. For a while I was able to tolerate the headaches and nausea, and enjoyed the mood improvement. I was actually able to feel true happiness in happy situations. But it also affected my menstrual cycle to where I was experiencing a full week of cramps (not normal for me) and was 2 weeks late (also not normal for me). Then the nausea just became vomiting every time I took the pill. So I stopped it. I really wished it would work because I liked the happiness I experienced and no mania."


"I suffer with arthritis in hands, knees, elbows, and hips.  In 2013 I underwent a total left hip replacement and worked hard in rehab to become active again.  However, as time progresses, my joints continue to 'talk' to me loudly.  In the mornings, I look like a crone hobbling around until from moving they begin to become fluid.  Ridiculous!  My doctor put me on Cymbalta back in December of 2014.  Wow.  What a difference.  I did have some struggles on learning when to take it without suffering with nausea, dizziness, etc.  For me, morning time seems to be the ticket.  Mid day or evening caused stomach and head issues. I am on a  lower dose compared to what I have read, but I give this a A+.  Within 15 minutes of taking my dose, I am fine."


"On fourth week. Beyond impressed. Snacking between meals gone. Hugely diminished need/desire for food, seem to seek healthier food. Biggest surprise is it has eliminated any desire for a nice cold beer (my weakness). Past diet experiences used smaller serving approach but almost eat the plate; with belviq using smaller portions but can only eat 1/3 to 1/2. Side effects - first day headache was major - so challenging that I would have stopped the medicine if it didn't disappear - it was gone on day 2.. Feel empowered to finally succeed. Goal is to lose 25%.  Down 2 notches on belt, feeling better and more committed everyday. Starting weight 263 - first weigh in end of next week."


"Nasonex worked quickly at helping the inflammation in my throat but I was getting daily headaches so I had to stop using it."


"My husband had a long (undiagnosed) history of depression.  The final straw was when his brother died in December 07.  Declining for the next 5 months, withdrawing more and more, not wanting to work, go anywhere, short tempered, paranoid, until finally he attempted suicide (not the first time).  Doctor prescribed Wellbutrin 75mg 2 x daily for 3 months.  He's been a different person on the medicines. He says "it makes him feel like he SHOULD feel, like he felt as a happy child, instead of what he's become over the years."  It helps with mood swings, helps him not overreact to small irritations anymore.  He increased to 3 x daily after a slight slump.  Don't try to stop without doctor's advice. He tried that and went back to his depression again."


"Lowered bad cholesterol from 130 to under 70."


"I have fibromyalgia. I keep reading everyone's rave reviews on this medication but it really isn't helping me. The feeling of wellbeing people are talking about is not there. I am still in a great deal of pain everyday. I am 25 years old and I have severe fibromyalgia. I tried this medication because I work full time and go to school so I cannot be taking narcotics all day, its too hard on my body! Well hopefully everyone keeps their good reviews and I am just an exception to all the reviews!"


"During menstruation, I felt like I was out of  control. It was okay the other 3 weeks of the month. But that one week a month was horrible."


"I have taken Ambien, on and off, for several years. I have bipolar disorder, resulting in a chronic sleep problem. 10 mg/day works well for a few months, then I become habituated. I have tried increasing to 20 mg/day, but I eventually become habituated to that dose as well, and neither I nor my doctor will go to a higher dose. Nothing else works as well, so I usually struggle along for a couple of months, then go back to 10 mg/day of Ambien. The other problem I've seen is that I CANNOT  mix it with alcohol. I learned the hard way. I had "waking blackouts" after I'd had a couple of drinks. People told me of things I'd done, of which I had no memory of. "


"I was first given this drug when I was only 6,  I started having horrible crashes When I was 7 I started getting hallucinations of my toys coming to life and beating me to death and I'd scream and kick when my parents came in to try to calm me down. I have 30min-4 hour anxiety attacks, I feel sad empty and useless, I felt like everyone was judging me and I almost committed suicide twice, once when I was only 9. I tried stopping the drug but found the nausea, pain, and anxiety only got worse without the medication so now I'm stuck,. These people saying the drug is great have not been on it for long, please if you are thinking of getting this drug, don't."


"This cleared up my cystic hormonal acne. It's only been 2 weeks since I began using it. I have no active spots.  I have had constant breakouts for 2 years with usually 3\4 cysts at once! I tried everything I could get my hands on, topical creams, antibiotics, going gluten and dairy free for 5 months, sunbeds,  tea tree oil, aztecs healing clay, I took tetracycline for almost a year, tried sacilyic acid, vichy normaderm range, clerasil, clean and clear,  honey masks, soo much more I can't even remember! Hundreds of euro spent and not one worked

 Within 2 weeks all my spots flattened and began to heal, now my skin is 90% clear all I have is scars. I remove my makeup with micellar water, then wash my face with cetaphil cleanser, and use duac."


"I've been taking 10mg lexapro for anxiety for 5 days now.

Off and on in the past yr my level of anxiety has escalated so much that I thought I might have a nervous breakdown or something. I became anti social and angry. I would break down in tears if I thought about anything for more than 3 seconds. I felt hopeless and helpless.

I also take Adderall xr20MG.

My dr gave me lexapro 10mg  and said I might experience the side effects and call her in 1 wk if it was too much too handle. Headache for a couple hrs was all I experienced. I feel awesome! Like a wet blanket has been lifted off of me. I don't avoid people anymore and I feel like I can face the world and be me again. I think now that the tension is lifted I feel better physically!"


"Uncomfortable during insertion but only lasted 5 minutes.  Took Advil for the next 24 hours for mild cramping.  My period ended 2 days later and now I feel great.  I'm really excited about light periods and minor cramps.  I used to suffer from heavy bleeding and cramps that felt like a kick in the gut.  My boyfriend is so happy to not have this huge interruption in our sex life.  I was on the pill till I turned 40 and had no problems.  I do notice slight mood swings and sleep heavier.  But it is so much better than giving over a week of my life each month to a dreadful period."


"Took this drug because my antidepressant was causing horrible mood swings. It works well and quickly, and side effects are not awful. Only problem was I would have really intense episodes of heavy breathing/heartbeat, with twitching and then I would barely be able to move for a while. Hopefully as I get used to it, this should go away. But great medication, really helped my mood and mental clarity!"


"Had a slip up on Sept. 6, took Ella 12 hours later. My uterus felt sore for the day, it made me tired. I was expecting my period on Sept. 14, got it the 13th. It did its job for me."


"I work for a large Fire Department.  I was having a tough time with some bad calls.  No sleep, always feeling like I'm in trouble, like I'm drowning and no one can help me.  My doctor put me on Celexa and life came back.  I worry about the things I need to be worried about and don't stress about the things that shouldn't stress me.  I feel "normal" again.  I believe it saved my career."


"I was never able to take "the pill" due to side effects of nausea, headaches and other issues.  I am 41 years old and my gynecologist said to try this one and see and I knew right when I started it that I was not having any issues at all. I do not feel sick or have any headaches. I do not have problem with my a sex drive and my weight is the same.  I have been on it for about 2 years now. I am very happy that this one came out and for me it has been great. I know everyone reacts differently."


"I had a bad UTI and I have taken this in the past and I am now taking it again. I get 4-7 days depending on doctor. It almost always clears it up. If you don't eat like I do then you can get nauseated if you take it on an empty stomach. The pill is huge so I chew it and use a spoon of yogurt and eat it down like that. I wish they made chewable versions or coated versions as it's hard to take but I do take it! The pill is a miracle worker and helps me greatly."


"I have taken Tecfidera for about 2 years.  I have had anemia a few times but nothing serious.  I have had hair loss since I took the pill.  I am taking the twice a day 240mg version of the pill.  My doctor has not seen any more bigger lesions.  The ones that I have are still there so they have not gone away.  I took Gilenya for a year and did not tolerate it.  I was like a robot.  I would go the whole day without remembering what I had done.  It also make my heart beat fast.  My heart beats fast on Tecfidera sometimes and I have only had one panic attack.  It was an adjustment to get on the Tecfidera but I think it helps.  It is definitely not the cure.  I have had less attacks but I am not working so I am not sure if it is the medicine."


"Before I started fluoxetine 20 mg I was so depressed almost lost my job couldn't get out of bed. I almost lost my family. I really don't know what triggers my depression my doctor says it's stress. My month on fluoxetine I didn't feel a change and had nothing but side effects from flu like symptoms to headaches. I've been on it now for 4 months and this is the best medicine I've ever been on. My anxiety is gone, most of the depression is gone. I can actually talk to people without worrying if they have an opinion about me. The only side effect that I still have is a jerk pretty bad when I'm trying to go to sleep."

"I first started on this pill when I was 16 and it was perfect with no side effects. Now I'm 19 & I experienced some minor side effects. My breasts were extremely sore for the first month and I got bloated. I'm not sure if my appetite changed on its own but  my belly was really puffy. Needless to say on the last day of my inactive pill I was peeing a bunch every 2 seconds and my bloating was reduced. Other than that it shortened and lightened my period and I had fewer cramps. "


"I have been on Armour for 4 days and I have already noticed a difference. I could actually take off my wedding ring. I sleep really well for about 7 hours.  Not waking up constantly.  My swelling has gone down significantly.  My joints do not ache.  Not getting as winded. I am taking 60mg.  I have noticed that I am really tired at night. I like the suggestion of taking it at night as well.  I'll have to check with my doctor and get his opinion."


"My dyshidrotic eczema has been fairly constant for the past decade. Prior it was caused by food prep (was a cook), now it just is for no apparent reason. I have used betamethazone and cordran tape, with limited results. Dyshidrotic eczema requires strong medicine.  My condition gets pretty chronic with peeling dry patches that often have persistent painful cracking.  Within a couple of weeks of intentional use, the condition gets much better.   It never goes completely away, but is much more manageable.  I apply at night most days, if it has a flare up, then several times a day.  I'm not sure of all of the different ways you can get clobetasol, but I use ointment.  If you need a medicine this strong, be thankful it exists! It gets it done!"


"If you want to feel like you're walking in a cloud, forgetfulness, constant fatigue, fits of rage, depression and crying fits, personality changes, weight gain and constant anxiety and you can't make sense of any of it, then get the Nexplanon. This form of birth control has made me feel the lowest I've ever felt in my life. I'm already an anxious person but nothing I can't handle or deal with. Since I've had this in my arm, it's been hard for me to even make myself get out of bed and into the shower. It was when I had my head on my steering wheel, bawling my eyes out in my car because I physically could not make myself walk into work that I knew this Nexplanon had to come out. Doc said it was this stupid stick in my arm. Back on pills"


"If you're a teen like me and you were bein stupid and didn't use protection you're probably terrified. I was too. Plan b works 100%. Don't stress it. You will get your period. Stressing with make it late. I took plan b an hour after the occurance and got my period 9 days later. Use protection. Be careful but if you're not. This is a great back up plan for a mistake. You'll be okay. Take it with ginger ale though because it makes you have a bad tummy ache. Better than being pregnant."


"This medication was the first to have any kind of positive emotional and physical effect on me. Not all medications work the same on everyone but this one sure worked on me."


"I started this pill, because for whatever reason, I had a menstrual period for over a month. This awful pill slowed it down, but I'm still bleeding, almost 2 months now. I have AWFUL migraines, acne, gained weight, TERRIBLE mood swings, and the worst cramps. I need off this ASAP."
