"I had a torn meniscus and surgery was necessary.  When they went into the knee I was told the knee was full of arthritis and the physician had to clean the knee out leaving bone on bone.  They suggested Orthovisc which I agreed.  It has been two weeks since the third injection and I am in more pain then ever.  I have no relief at all, living on anti-inflammatories with little benefit. I am really hoping for relief soon because I am confined to bed with ice packs."


"I found this to work very well for my nasal congestion. Under 15 minutes and I'm 98% clear for 8 hours allowing me to continue my workday. It works better and faster than other over the counter medicine I've tried.

"


"I am into day 36 of 84 day (12 weeks) treatment. An hour after taking my first dose, I could definitely feel the medication coursing through my body. The first 14 days were the worst. Some headache, slight depression. I started feeling much better after the 3 weeks. I had blood work done after 30 days and ALT and AST are way down. I feel much better and the incredible burning itches I had before treatment started have stopped. It can tire you but a nap can really help. My appetite has gone through the roof, which is a good thing for me. I am really optimistic about beating this. I have had HCV since the mid-1980s. Here's hoping that the rest of my treatment goes well. Good luck to everyone!"


"I have had restless legs syndrome for many years.  The first medicine I started to take was Klonopin which worked okay, but about 10 years ago I changed to Mirapex. It is such a great medicine for this problem that if I happen to forget to take it, as I do a few times a year, I totally freak out and panic.  Once I was on a trip and realized I'd forgotten this medicine and was in a panic.  Without this medicine my nights would all be a nightmare.  With this drug I have no problems with my legs and no side effects. Thanks to whoever came up with this miracle."


"I've had chronic migraines for a few years and whenever I go to the ER they gave me this combination the Benadryl, torodal and the Reglan it makes you feel anxious that's why they add the Benadryl into it but I've never had any negative side effects I take daily medication to keep my migraines at bay but sometimes that doesn't work so if I have a migraine for more than 3 days and I go to the ER and they gave me the give me this cocktail and it works awesome I've never had any negative side effects personally from this medication but I'm reading these comments and other people are saying that they did they do warn you in the ER that it might makes you feel a little anxious for me that anxiousness goes away in about 30min"


"Abreva worked for me up until now. It seems to make it worse. I have tried other things lately because the Abreva isn't cutting the healing time at all. Note, I have been soaking a cotton ball in whole milk and applying it for 5-10 minutes every 2 hours. It takes away the inflammation of the cold sore, feels much more better, blends in with my skin... The milk has antiviral and bacterial properties that help. Try it!"


"Out of nowhere, in my 50s, I developed Plaque psoriasis.  The local dermatologists did not seem to know how to help me. I was put on heavy steroids and other medicines that made my life miserable. Muscle aches, unable to sleep and rashes that bled up at the merest touch.  I found a specialist in New York City and she is my angel!   I was put on Sterela  which helped. Then I was then switched over to Cosentyx  and my life changed.  I am almost 100% cured, as long as I keep taking the injections.   The side affects that I've noticed are more frequent cold sores and a stuffy nose. I take Valtrex at the same time I take the injection in the cold sores have stopped. The stuffy nose, I can deal with.  This product is a miracle."


"At first I was hesitate about taking from just the thought of having diarrhea. I manned up. The taste is like a chalky grape. It started about an hour after drinking the first bottle and the two 16oz of water. The only discomfort is I'm bloated and having small stomach cramps but nothing I can't handle."


"I have been on it for just 4 days. Started at 185lb and down to 181lb. Could be due to a good poop or just the day to day fluctuation of weight....but it's so encouraging!  I workout and always have 6 days a week, running, weights or HIIT. My problem is I love to eat, if I didn't work out I would easily weigh 300 pounds. I don't hear much talk about working out on this site.  This pill will help but u need to move ur ass!  I will keep posting my hopeful progress."


"BE CAREFUL!!!  Never experienced major side effects from medication until now.  I ended up in the ER within 2 hours of taking Latuda due to severe muscle spasms.  My face contorted in all kinds of weird ways that is hard to describe.  I looked like I had a Halloween mask on it was terrifying.  I have General Anxiety Disorder with spurts of Depression depending on life's circumstances.  My Dr. prescribed me Latuda to take with Pristiq because I had 1 seizure while taking other meds and had to stop taking after 10 years of success when it was needed.  The seizure could have been caused by anything as I was on the meds for months when I had it.  I took 20mg of Latuda for the 1st week, 40 next 3 weeks.  My chin is completely numb permanently."


"The carbinoxamine maleate has worked wonderful for me.  I have TMJ, caused by fibromyalsia, and the TMJ is causing fluid to build up behind my left eardrum.  It's very painful and causes my ears to plug up and ring really bad at times.  The carbinoxamine maleate has helped to dry the fluid up and I can take it as needed.  They have not discontinued it and am sorry to the person who was told they did.  Specially since it worked so well for him/her."


"I've been on Clonazepam for anxiety and panic disorder for about 5-6 years. I am prescribed 1 mg 2 x a day. I don't take it that often, I take it as needed and usually only need 1/2 of one to get stop the panic attack, on rare occasion I take 1 whole if it's a really bad one but that isn't very often at all seems though I can stop them before they get extreme. It works GREAT for me, with no side effects at all. And even after being on them for such a long period of time, I've not had to up my dose ever. I still take the same amount I started with (as needed). This was a lifesaver for me, as I was too anxious to even take meds before them. I feel safe now and know that this will work. Recommend!"


"My doctor put on this medication a month ago in preparation for my surgery and it has been the worst decision I have ever made! Two weeks into taking mononessa, I began spotting. I thought no big deal, the spotting should stop soon. Well twelve days later, still spotting, so I called my doctor office and was told that that sometimes happen. Ok. Two days after that conversation, I started having light bleeding with the worst cramping I have ever had! Add to that, I started having lower back pain also. Nothing I took seems to help with the pain. It got so bad, that I had to go to the emergency room,  I could barely stand up nor lie down!! Can't even go to work yet because I'm still cramping severely and need to take narcotic. This med sucks!"


"I was on the pill for about three months, and the first month I took it at the same time each day but that started to change over time and I still got pregnancy scares each month. So I got the Implanon put in about a month ago, I wasn't sure if I wanted to get it due to all of the negative comments.. but it's BEYOND worth it. I'm afraid of needles, so it took awhile for me to get the numbing shot, but after that it's pain free. You honestly can't even feel it being put in, at all. I have a little red spot where it was put in but nothing extreme. The only bad part was the huge bandage you had to wear for 24 hours, it made it hard to move. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't want pregnancy scares or a child in the next three years!"


"Very bad side effects. Given by IV in the emergency room for severe migraine. Jaw clenching, agitation, loss of appetite, groggy, incessent urination (with a fowl smell). Side effects lasted for a week after administration."


"I have been on it for a few months now on 150mg. It helps me sleep but it does not help you stay asleep. so if you are able to sleep throughout the night this is a good product... i like getting to sleep and waking up more than staying awake tossing and turning all night, so I give trazadone 7/10"


"I am 27 yrs old and suffered from horrible migraine headaches since I was 15. I had the kind of headaches that caused uncontrollable vomiting and kept me in a dark room for days. I felt like I couldn't have a normal life because I would always think twice about going out fearing a migraine would ruin the day. I am currently on 75mg/day and it has made a significant difference. I no longer have the 9/10 severity migraines for 4-5 days at a time several times per month. I still get headaches but they will go away with something as simple as resting for 20 minutes with my eyes closed. I'm not afraid to go out anymore. The side effects that I have struggled a bit with are weight gain and dry mouth but I will take those any day over the migraines."


"I started on Wellbutrin XL 150mg after severe depression set in after a traumatic life change.  I could feel a difference within a few days.  After 5 weeks I was still mopey but much better than I was before Wellbutrin.  My doctor increased my dose to 300mg and I felt much better within a week.  I have been on that dose for 4 weeks now and I feel good.  I need to take the advice of exercising while on it to see if it helps increase my happy mood.  Side effects were severe dizziness after standing up but that is now mild.  Night sweats, hot flashes and dry mouth for a few weeks but that went away.  Insomnia increased with dose increase, however, I do not feel overtired from getting less sleep (6 hrs a night).  I would recommend definitely."


"I'm 7 days post spinal surgery and had been provided stool softener after surgery to help movement. After 4 days, trying sennacot, dulcolax, Beet root juice, plums, prunes & milk of magnesia I tried Fleet. Like the other reviews state, it isn't really uncomfortable, but just gets things moving. I recommend that you buy more than one, as I bought the twin pack and it was only a few dollars.

First use, I only moved things enough that the hard bits came away. Then, there was some relief. Later that evening, I guess finally the other items I taken pushed the rest through so I had bad diarrhea on/off for a while. However, I felt 10X better.

The next day, I kept normal with a bowel movement and again on day 7, I'm using the 2nd bottle."


"It helped my eyes when I went had an eye infection."


"I have been diagnosed with Bipolar, anxiety disorder and a few others. Insomnia is included in the mix. If I do not have normal sleep patterns my mental and emotional health become at risk very quickly. For the first month Rozerem 8mg worked well. I fell asleep easily within 30 minutes. I could have chosen to fight the drowsiness, but why take a medication then deliberately work against it? I found I had no side effects. However now I am into my second month and I am finding I can only average 2 to 4 hours sleep again and during the day I suffer vertigo and tunnel vision. So I am not sure that I will continue this medication. My insurance covered the medication without any extra paperwork."


"Took away the need for me to take morphine to dull the pain that is still left behind even after taken 15-30mg of oxycodone."


"I had my first implant inserted two and a half years ago. It's worked wonders. When having it put in my arm I felt absolutely nothing but a bit of poking and prodding. It almost tickled. I haven't gotten pregnant while using it and have experienced no side effects. The most annoying thing was the first week after I got it I was required to wear a pressure bandage while the incision healed and the bandage was awfully itchy. However that isn't a fault of the contraception. I'd recommend Implanon to anyone who asked me about birth control and was looking for a long term method. It's more effective and cheaper than some pills."


"I've been on Seasonique for about a year now. Overall it's great, while the birth control is pretty pricey in my area (it's about 90 dollars a month where I live) but it's worth it. I've had no problems with this pill except the occasional spotting. It actually cleared my skin while I do have an occasional spot. I don't get headaches, backaches or many other side effects. I guess the pill is different for everyone but for me this works like a charm! It's great only having my period once every three months."


"For those of you worrying about taking fluoxetine I hope this will help. I've been having crippling panic attacks for the last 3 months and I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder by my GP, then a consultant psychiatrist. I've tried CBT during this time which helped explain about what my body was doing, releasing large amounts of adrenaline, fight or flight responses etc but it didn't really help. I also managed to convince myself that fluoxetine which I was prescribed early on could make things worse. Following some suicidal thoughts I decided what the hell, it can't be any worse and I took my first 20mg tablet 10 days ago and it has helped so much already. Only minor side effects so far, headaches and a little dizziness."


"This has been a lifesaver for me. Used Spiriva for 2 years. Insurance would no longer cover much of its cost.. I tried to go without my medicine for several months.  Thank goodness I  am able to get this.  It works great"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is my 2nd time using suprep and god I don't miss it, I had completely forgotten what it tasted like. While it does its job quickly and efficiently, it is the WORST tasting medicine for bowel prep that I've ever had. I have had multiple surgeries and I would have to say, next time I need something else. I cannot hold more than half of it down without almost getting sick. Honestly it would be so much better without any flavor. The only other downside is, you need to be near the toilet for the next few hours."


"I tried the shots , my wife grew weary of giving me the injections in my butt cheeks and my body didn't absorb them very well not to mention sometimes you get a dull batch of needles OUCH!!   I tried the rub on gel packs they are weak and didn't work as advertised. AXIRON WORKS I noticed the effects almost immediately, I feel better,
My mental state improved , my erections improved, my sex drive increased,  I did experience some irritation under my pits but the symptom gradually got better and it wasn't annoying enough to make me stop using a product... The only product that WORKS!  If you have low T give this medicine a try.   It is expensive  but worth it. I am going to try and find a coupon from the manufacturer to offset the price."


"I've  had it in for about 2 months with no period after it was placed in which is normal for me because I usually have a period every two to three months, and they last 3 to five days. Now I have been spotting for 8 days with some clots which my not seem like a big deal but it super strange for me. I called my doctor today to discuss my concerns but i might have to try something else"


"I was diagnosed with LUPUS on March 9, 2009 and put on Cellcept. I do have some of the side effects which I am working through. Hopefully this will be my answer to a long and happy life."


"I have used Vesicare 5mg for 14 days and it worked well this first week. Now I'm back to wearing pads and I'm experiencing cloudy urine with a hint of blood, blurred vision and a 5 lb weight gain. I've stopped this medicine, obviously it's not right for me. Hoping to try something else."


"I have a hard time believing that there are so many people that are claiming diarrhea. I had no such experience. It also calmes my cough. I have IBS, which affects the bowels very easily. I have also known other people that have used Delsym and nobody has had this happen to them. It tastes better and really works. I have to say I suspect 1 or 2 people that had a bad experience have written multiple times too warn others. I hope people are going to more than one site to get reviews."


"I'm taking Topamax 200mg daily for Bipolar Disorder and I love this medication. It's changed my life and made me able to function again where other medications for bipolar disorder has not! The only reason I did not give it a ten is because sometimes it still makes my face and lips go numb and I get a twitch on the left side of my face, but honestly, I'll take it compared to how horrible my life was before."


"Got nexplanon in April 2016. was fine for first 2 months but had my regular periods, didn't think much from it because at least I didn't have to remember to take a pill. The 3rd month came and got my period for 16 days.. and then continuously with 4-7 day breaks. Light periods no cramps (normal for me) but more frequent. I'm in my 4th month now and on my 21st day of my period.. it was light for the first 16 days and now heavier. I get headaches and I am lethargic. called my doctor to get it taken out but the cant get me in until december...that's 3 months away! Not knowing how much longer my period was gonna last (doesn't feel like it's stopping anytime soon) called again and had to beg for sooner appt. I go in in 2 weeks. Don't recommend."


"Propranolol is a life saver. I always had a fear of public speaking and have gone to great lengths to avoid every occasion to speak to a group. I have stammered in the past wherever I have mustered up the courage to speak to a group, this is despite a lot of preparation.

A couple of weeks ago I was to make a 1 hour presentation to a group of overseas customers, I took a dose of 10mg two hours before my presentation and 2X10mg an hour before.

I was quite surprised at the way I was able to handle the presentation, very confident, no stage fright, no performance anxiety. Many in the audience complimented me after my presentation, little did they know of my past struggle with speaking in public."


"Strained my rotator cuff, MD acute care practice prescribed 4mg. I asked both doctor and pharmacist if it was okay to take with Allegra D. Both said yes. Luckily I was safe at home. It was scary how sedated I was. I had set an alarm for an appointment 2hours after taking mess. I got out of bed and could hardly make it to the restroom. Needless to say I cancelled the appointment. Next time I took the Medicines separately and broke the 4 mg table into 1mg. I'm no lightweight but this was too strong for me."


"It DIDN'T WORK! I followed the instructions to the latter, but MoviPrep didn't do the job.  It didn't completely cleanse the colon, and now I have to go through the whole colonoscopy session again with another preparation product.

The taste wasn't too bad (used hard candy between doses), and it started to work quite quickly.  It seemed to work as I spent a lot of time in the bathroom.  However it didn't do a complete job.  "

"I've only been on Sprintec for about a month, but I switched over from Loestrin 24 FE after being on that for a while. I had gained 10 pounds on Loestrin and I was having two periods a month. After switching to Sprintec, I stopped having two periods a month and I have no mood swings. The negative things about it is that now I have acne, when I used to never have it. I am also extremely bloated all the time, to the point where it actually looks like I've gained 5-10 pounds. I don't know if it's water weight or if I'm actually gaining that much weight. My eating habits are still the same and I work out 6 days a week, so it can't be from my diet/exercise. Overall, it's been okay, but I would love for the weight gain to disappear."


"Since being on amitriptyline my IBS symptoms are pretty much not there. I used to be in horrific pain all day everyday and would even feel hot, dizzy and in so much pain that I would actually faint off the toilet. I didn't want to leave the house and IBS literally took over my life. I never write any reviews like this but if I can help even just one IBS sufferer then it's worth it. I gradually increased my dose to 50mg per night. Seems like a lot but it's worth it in order to live a normal 21 year old girls life. For the first week I did get the side effects (tired, dry mouth, a bit faint) but after that I felt absolutely fine again. Please try this drug, I didn't think it would work but it did and I have honestly never been happier!"


"Started Saxenda 5 weeks ago. Titrated to 3.0 ml Have lost 14.5 lbs. Side effects minimal: nausea and heartburn for approximately 2 days after increasing dose. Also more thirst and dry mouth. Side effects are tolerable. Insurance is covering and with discount card I pay $30. I am using my Fitness Pal app to track calories and nutrients. Mild exercise. Cravings for sweets are minimal, appetite is down. Very pleased with results to this point. Will be curious to see new A1c values at my next visit."


"Lomotil has been a complete blessing for me. Imodium did not touch my severe diarrhea. I suffer from depression, anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia. With these symptoms caused severe stomach problems. When given Lomotil for a possible chance it might help, I am now living without being in the bathroom every hour. I found no side effects. I cannot even tell you the difference it has made. When I do have to leave home. I have no worries about finding where the bathroom is before I even proceed to do what I have to do. YES! This is one miracle in my life that brings some normality to scratch off my list of problems. I can even eat out at restaurants now."


"Nucynta has been working great to control my pain and back pain. I have Crohn's disease and arthritis in my lower back. I took a combination of Vicodin and Percocet in the past with great results as well, but after 4 yrs I built a tolerance. I was skeptical at first since I read that Nucynta was a type of tramadol, which it is kind of, it's a mu opioid. Takes longer than Percocets to provide relief, no nausea, even on an empty stomach. Had some bizarre dreams the first few nights. Big downside is the price even with insurance it is costly. I am just happy to be pain free, no head rush like percocets, able to take them at work too, unlike other narcotics I have been prescribed. I am taking 100mg ER every 12 hrs."


"I got my first IUD put in December of 2016. My GYN told me to take some Tylenol before hand which really helped I think. I have never given birth. The insertion felt like an ice pick kind of behind my belly button but that only lasted for about 2 seconds. The whole process was over in about 5 minutes and I just had some minor cramping for the rest of the night. I had been on Depo Provera for 3 years and then off BC entirely for a year and during the entire 4 year span I did not have a period.
Since getting it inserted, I have had no side affects. I lost about 15 lbs, my mood has improved and I still have not had a period. Today, 8/1/17, I did start bleeding though which is strange but I'm sure that it is fine. I love my IUD though."


"I have been taking metforman for several months and it has helped immensely. The only problems I have are with the smell and taste. Both are awful!"


"Amlactin was a life saver for me.  I had tried everything under the sun.  Couldn't stand to take a bath, couldn't stand not to.  When I took off my clothes, skin flew everywhere.  Big scales, cracked, red skin. Anyway, I use  it all over my whole body, and it works.  It stinks, but it works.

It is too strong for my face.  I haven't found a product for a face regimen.

I am trying some stuff on my scalp.  I have "cradle cap".  My head always smells funky, and lately I have lost lots of hair.

So, no solution yet for face or scalp.

"


"I took levothyrine 0.05(50mcg)for 4 days.On day 3 developed side effects of joint pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, crying and severe hunger pains and insomnia. On day 4 all of these side effects intensified in addition to developing itching skin and sweating .I called my all night pharmacy because this all came to a head on a Friday night and doctors office was closed. I was told to stop taking it because I was having a severe reaction to it. I have not taken this in 2 days and I'm still sick with joint pain,weakness itching and sweating. I will never take this again. By the way my TSH was 6.4 and was having no hypothyroidism symptoms. I only found this out due to yearly lab work and physical."


"I've had Nexplanon since 2011, and I love it! I haven't had any major problems from the implant.

Pros:

Most effective contraceptive

I don't have to worry about taking it (for ~3 years)

Cons:

I get ovarian cysts from time to time that can be bothersome, but they always regress on their own.

Irregular periods. I never know when I will get my period. Sometimes I won't have it for months at a time, but not knowing when I might get my period doesn't bother me much. I just keep a tampon in my purse.

I highly recommend Nexplanon and will be getting my 3rd put in next year when it's time to remove this one."


"Me and my boyfriend we didn't intentionally have unprotected sex but the condom broke and neither of us knew until the deed was done. And we both weren't mentally ready to become parents. I took this less than 30 minutes . And few weeks later I got my period a little late. But better late than never. Don't overthink trust me it works!"


"Okay so today is day 2 of Harvoni.. I'm working 3 part time jobs ...so far just a few spots of speediness.. little lack of appetite .. stomach bloated and some brain fog.. I'm hoping that's all it's going to be..im hanging in there and will keep you posted.. I'm 50 years old I've had it for over 20 years and my viral load is 2 million... this is my first treatment ever but I'm hoping I'm one of the hundred percenters"


"The doctor prescribed geodon 20mg at night for my 8 year old daughter. She has autism and a mood disorder. She has been on this medication for about a week and I am stopping it. She has became very agitated and restless. As of this evening she has become severely depressed and sobbing I over everything. It breaks my heart seeing her like this. I would never recommend this medication for any child."


"I hate it, I've gained almost 30 pounds with it and counting! I've had it since October and hope to get it removed next month."


"I was getting really sick but had to travel for work. My lungs hurt so badly I thought I was going to land myself in the ER. I got off a flight and grabbed some Mucinex at the airport and got to my hotel. I was having such a hard time breathing and was coughing so badly I hadn't slept in nights. I took the mucinex and slept all night long and woke up and got stuff out of my lungs and felt SO much better."


"I have been taking Phentermine since Aug 2011, and I have lost about 15 Lbs. Since I started my eating habits have changed, mainly because I'm not as hungry and I get full with a small meal.  I like eating salads, but there are times when I do eat something like pizza, but I only have 1 slice and feel satisfied.  I have not done any type of exercise other than cleaning, gardening. I helped a friend pack and move during a week span, but that is it.  I am planning on incorporating, a 30 minute jog or light walk and maybe built to some light weights as my weight loss plateaus. I hoping to lose another 20-30 more lbs in order to hit my goal. I go to the doctor every month and get my blood pressure checked and to get a shot of the B12 complex."


"I started taking MS Contin 60mg this week. I was taking Methadone 120 mg a day for over 5 years.  I am having some trouble with the changeover, but after 3 days I am getting better.  I also take Oxycodone 15mg up to 4x a day for pain. My Doctor started me on 60 mg 2 x a day, then told me to double it. Still having some trouble with the withdrawals from Methadone but I hope this will work. So far it's okay. I am being treated for chronic pain from a lamenectomy and spinal fusion without hardware (Failed Back Syndrome)."


"Been on it for about 6 months. Experiencing weight gain, low libido, still making me breakout often, chest pain since i've been on it, crazy hair loss. With Ortho Evra, never had any of these problems and was on it for about 3 years total. I am trying to find a different method, Xulane is not for me."


"Only used it for 2 weeks and people are already like..WOW...its crazy how much better your skin looks. I know I wont see the full effects for another few months, but I have noticed that my face is not nearly as oily. It's more normal now, before by the end of the day I used to be able to use 5 of those clean and clear oil absorbing sheets! My redness is gone down a lot too, my acne was crazy. No all over cystic but it looked like a rash, but wasn't rosacea. And now its getting better! Yay! I am excited."


"I have been on Nuvaring for about 8 or 9 months and I love it. Other birth controls for me made me have awful mood swings, weight gain and awful cramps. The first month I was on the Nuvaring I actually had decreased appetite. Now my periods only last about 2 days, no cramping, still no real weight gain. The only bad side effect I experienced was decreased lubrication but I only noticed it for one or two months everything is fine now. I would most definitely recommend Nuvaring to anyone like myself who was having a hard time on pill versions!"


"I don't understand how all the comments I've read on here about tramadol being great for anxiety and depression because when I took tramadol for back pain it made me feel all anxious, shaky and caused insomnia. I had to stop after 2 days of taking it, plus it made me itch all over, I felt awful on it. I've had bouts of anxiety and depression all my life and I'm sure it was the tramadol I took 5 and a half years ago that started my anxiety off again.  Once it started it kind of went into a vicious circle of having panic attacks then fearing the next panic attack which then would start another panic attack and so it went on for months, me ending up in hospital, so I'd never take tramadol again no matter how much pain I'm in ."


"I just reached day 28. I have insomnia and the occasional stomach ache.  I do have the occasional "vivid dream" but not too much out of the ordinary. I was a pack  a day smoker for about 10 years. Since the end of week one I have had maybe 4 cigarettes. By day seven I was down to 4 a day. This worked great for me and I plan on taking it till month three then I'm going to go it on my own."


"Been on lithium about 26 years. Currently on 1,200mg putting my lithium level at 1.0. It dramatically improved my sleep which without lithium is a major problem. It has made me more pleasant to be around, close to stopped my angry, irritable ways and keeps me from destroying relationships. No weight gain, mild tremor and dry mouth. This medication I combination with lower dose Prozac has saved my life and given me a quality life. Outstanding medication and very inexpensive!"


"I'm actually writing this review on behalf of my wife. If you are bipolar, please stay away from this medicine. At first it seemed to help relieve the arthritis pain, but two months later the side effects became a nightmare and the pain increased threefold. It took another three months to clear it from her system, now she is doing much better but has short term memory issues. "


"I have had headaches since I was 13. I wake up with a headache and go to bed with a headache. I have been taking Fiorinal for approximately 25 years.  It not only works on my migraines but also tension headaches.  My doctor is very hesitant about prescribing this medication for fear of addiction but  I know how to control how often and how much I take. I've tried many other prescription and over the counter medicines and Fiorinal is the only medicine that will get rid of my headaches with no side effects so I can function. It's very effective and should never be taken off the market or classified as a controlled substance."


"After insertion, the site where it was inserted had a dull pain that still lingers today. A couple months in I threw my tablet at my mother in a blind rage. When nothing was wrong in my life I felt a constant irritation with the people around me. I would have times where I would be nauseous for a week and a half at a time accompanied by smell sensitivity. I have lost weight but have been bloated, with constant headaches. :("


"I am 25 years old and have been taking this for over 2 years now. 2 years ago I was 145 lbs and now I am 165 and miserable. My husband and I have been dieting and exercising for the past year and half and I have only gained weight, never lost. I finally went to my doctor with the following symptoms: tired all the time even with 10 hours of sleep, mood swing (which effect my relationship), depression, sadness (for no reason), crying out of no where, weight gain and inability to loose weight, bad skin. All of those symptoms are also what people with Thyroid issues have. Well I get my thyroid tested this past week and its normal. I read these reviews and bam! I am getting off this immediately and I am really upset I did not read these sooner."


"was not on BC for many years till my dr recommended birth control in order to help with my endometriosis. I've been on this for a month and a half and no progress in period or cramps, and I've never had worse acne than I do right now. I hardly wear any make up and rarely ever get pimples and what started as a dry scaly rash type thing on my chin and jawline has one week later turned into burning red acne all over my face. I've also noticed how severely depressed I have become. Although I have struggled with depression throughout the past 8 years, I have never ever felt this depressed or uninterested in anybody and everything. everything and everyone irritates me. Once I looked up others reviews I decided I will not take this again"


"This is about the only muscle relaxer that helps me. I've had stenosis laminectomy on the L4-5 level done which the stenosis cause spasms because it narrows the canal. I just have nerve damage for now and the back surgery went fine.

I take one muscle relaxer 350mg with two Aleve together and it works better. I take two a day."


"Over the past few years I have increasingly been plagued by debilitating allergies.  I have gotten shots and taken Zyrtec, and other allergy meds daily without complete results.  Xyzal was recently prescribed and I have had excellent results.  I haven't felt this good in years (at the height of allergy season, too)."


"I have been a epileptic for 16 years, and this is the best medication I have ever taken. I have no side effects and I was able to have my son on this medication."


"The first month of taking Loestrin 24 Fe I developed a horrible yeast infection and bladder infection. I called my doctor and she prescribed me medicine for that. She also stated that it probably wasn't the birth control. So I decided I would try it for another couple of months to make sure. Again, on my second month of trying it, I got another yeast infection and slight bladder infection but used over the counter medicine to get rid of it this time. I'm on my third month now and I feel a slight yeast infection starting to up come, but I'm eating a lot of yogurt to stop the infection. Also, during the first and second month, I practically skipped my period. Only bled for one day or so and it was so light."


"I started on Saxenda mid December 2016. So far I have lost more than 20 lbs. My back pain disappeared, my knee and joint pain disappeared. I am extremely excited with the success so far.  If my insurance would not have covered I would have considered paying for it myself. It was time to take care of me. The side effects so far have been nausea but nothing that was to intolerable in comparison to the positive outcome. I often have to remind myself to eat. I am up to 2.4 which I decided myself as I felt I was starting to feel hungry again. I am down to under 1200 calories per day which is a significant change for me. I have trained myself to sit down and have breakfast at home which is also a positive change. I am excited for the future."


""Iffy" sexual performance for last 6 months.  (53, married 30 years).  Tried "Stendra" with only marginal improvement and was getting a bit panicky! Had doubts Cialis would be any better. "10" is too low of a score.  Nice to have the wife complain of some initial discomfort from "too deep, too soon", again, and having to back off. It ended well for all concerned (it was a sample from doctor, so not sure on future pricing)."


"Have used other meds for depression, citalopram,sertraline....headaches and stuff. Mirtazapine, maybe because I take at night don't have many bad symptoms apart from bad dreams. Anything for a better life..,,:)"


"Thyroid was basically destroyed by radioactive iodine treatment.

Only thing that's hard is taking it w/o food etc"


"I have only been taking this medicine for 3 days now but I am extremely sensitive to medication so I usually know quite quickly how it effects me. It makes me extremely drowsy and also makes the bottom half of my face feel slightly numb. I also feel like I am about to pass out frequently which is not great. I hope it evens out after a while. It was prescribed to me to take the place of Xanax and to help me sleep. I was prescribed 25mg to take 1-2 twice daily as needed. I have already cut it down to 1 once a day about an hour before I go to bed. It does help me sleep, but it makes it difficult to wake up in the morning. It also helps with my anxiety."


"Very good medicine for treating symptoms but very difficult to discontinue usage."


"side effects for me were same as few others with negative result...

after taking 200mg. I felt like I was hallucinating; going crazy . Sinus areas inflamed quickly with headache. I must be allergic to his drug."


"Lo Loestrin = Acne cysts! I have always had clear skin [with the occasional break out, but nothing serious] and since switching to this pill about 12 months ago, I've had a never ending cycle of painful and ugly red blemishes. My dermatologist assessed my skin and after two minutes with me determined that I had Lo Loestrin skin. She said it is absolutely the worst for skin because of its significantly lower estrogen levels. Anyway, I just wanted to share this knowledge. I'm switching back to Yasmin."


"After having a serious injury to my back from a work related accident,and dealing with surgeons/physiotherapists and an array of specialist, I was Diagnosed with Major Depression and Adjustment Disorder. I have tried a multitude of anti-depressants to no avail. Finally my Doctor said that there was a fairly new medication, Pristiq that many people in similar situations were having success with and little side effects [as opposed to the traditionally prescribed medicines for similar situations]. I was very close to suicide because my whole normal life prior to my injury was gone. So what did I have to lose, I tried it. What a difference it made within the first week! I still can't do the things I used to do, but I can actually focus on things I can."


"My journey started around 17yrs ago when pregnant I suffered an episode and was put in hospital as my son was due, they gave me 150mg straight off of clomipramine, you can imagine how comatosed I was. Over the next few years I had many crashes on this drug, then about 7 years ago a dr prescribed Paxil, best thing could ever have happened, the positives out weigh the negatives with the side effects, I'm on 15mg would love to reduce again one day, but I'm happy to be stable and of sound mind."


"I was prescribed Bactrim DS 2x a day for 10 days to clear a urinary tract infection. I was having nausea, acid reflux and intestinal/digestive issues that felt like irritable bowel syndrome or Stomach Flu by the 3rd day. After the 5th day I decided to stop taking it and the infection is gone along with all side effects. I am glad I decided to stop taking it, it seems Bactrim DS 2x a day was a bit too much for me."


"I love what this has done for my daughter. Selena is 6 she will be 7 Dec 30th 2015 suffers from arthritis she is in chronic pain and it was difficult for her to play, walk for long periods of time, be a kid in general. we have tried other meds but have not found anything that was helping. Now she take sulindac 150mg x2 daily and she has become a whole new person"


"Used Prepopik for the first time. I must say it worked very well for me. First dose and I was on the commode in less than 45 minutes.  The amount that you need to take is not bad and the taste is tolerable. Before the second dose four hours later I began to fell nauseated which lasted through the second dose making it very hard to drink the additional required amount of clear liquids.  I fought the urge to vomit for about 5 or 6 hours but managed to keep it down.  Overall I was satisfied when my doctor told me my colon was very clean from the prep. I will be a little anxious the next time if I use Prepopik because of the extreme nausea."


"Had severe back and leg pain for 5 years before a tumor that had pinched my spinal cord was discovered on the left side of C5/6.  I was taking 45mg before the surgery and 90 mg (am now gradually lowering the dose).  Works pretty well but it really slows down the bowel motion so have to take a stool softener with it."


"Been on oxy n morphs since early/mid 90's had a couple back surgeries, got off them but pain always comes back, ran a couple days short this month, tried some clonodine n it seems to help w/some withdrawal but makes me dizzy, so b careful!!"


"I'm 26 years old and have always had irregular periods. Recently found out that I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and was prescribed provera. I took it twice a day for 10 days...and started bleeding about 3 days after they finished. I can honestly say it was the worst period I've ever had! It was very heavy & I felt sick and dizzy. And I was so emotional and I never get any sort of PMS usually. My period also lasted for 10 days. It stopped on Sunday there and I'm bleeding again today (Thursday). Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?"


"I have been diagnosed with depression and panic disorder (for 20 years now). I learned over the years that if I could keep my anxiety/panic under good control I would be much less likely to go into depression (uncontrolled anxiety greatly increases the chance I will experience depression). Xanax works extremely well at keeping my anxiety (and hence depression) under control. These days I don't need to use it continuously because just knowing that Xanax is there and works so well if I need it has a calming effect. I didn't give Xanax 10/10 though because it has one annoying side effect for me: it kills my libido rather effectively if I take it for a few days. Apart from that, very tolerable - way more so than any antidepressant I was on."


"I've been on the NuvaRing since November of 2015 at my 6 week appointment after having my first child. I love not having to remember a pill every day. I do however suffer from depression, and I have noticed that whenever I take it out for the week of my period I am way more moody than I ever was before... I have also gained a few pounds since being on this birth control, but I can deal with that. It has decreased my sex drive tremendously but I also don't want to have another baby yet, so not having sex with my husband like we used to isn't a big deal for either of us. I love this product and I will continue to use it until I'm ready for baby #2 and after that baby I will use it again! "


"Nothing would quite fix me. Not antidepressants, or therapy or Adderall.  Depressed all the time, screaming on the inside.  Had days I literally could not do anything. Unfocused at work, hated my job, life and wife.  Changed psych doctors, prescribed Strattera, titrated more slowly than sample pack, got up to 60 mg. Way happier. Less sensitive - don't get hurt easily. Take criticism better. Wife notices big difference in mood- always thought it was depression.  It's ADD and Strattera is perfect for it.  Just hope it keeps working!"


"I have disc disease. I take 4mg only at night. Knocks me out. This is the only medicine that has helped with my pain and my muscle spasms. I sleep well all night and lasts through until next day. Only been taking it for 3 days. Finally found a good muscle relaxer. Only side effect I have noticed is dry mouth. I think it is great. "


"I had the original impalanon in for three years then had it removed to have my daughter , after I had her I wanted it back in but learned they now had nexplanon and figured I'd try it I didn't have problems with the other my periods even stopped . With this nexplanon I'm 22 and constantly feel like I'm going thru menapause my periods are so bad ,  weeks sometimes days before in suppose to start I get really bad heat flashes that make me sick !! I'm losing so much weight my wedding ring doesn't fit anymore , .  I've also had a lot of depression with this , I almost feel as if I'm bipolar "


"I was initially prescribed what is commonly called Paxil. It worked to relieve my depression and anxiety but the sexual side effects were too much so I asked for a change.  I was prescribed Bupropion 150 mg extended.  My initial dose for 1 week was 150 mg 1x per day and then I was told I could increase to 2x a day or 300 mg.  When I went to the 300 mg dose I experienced side effects after a few weeks at this dose level. I experienced severe digestive issues, gas pain, severe constipation and nausea. I initially stopped taking the medicine but am going to give it another try at the 150mg dose."


"I have been on this medication since 1994 and I'm 24 now and still taking it.  It has made a huge difference.  I have no heartburn and can eat or drink anything I want.  I have no side effects."


"I suffer from alcoholism binges and take atenolol, clonidine, and amloapine, as well as OTC vitamins on a daily basis. When my doctor's intern added a prescription for Lisinopril (10 mg x1 a day) it was the first time in 25 years of drinking that I had a case of Delirium Tremens (very nasty and horrifying experience). I have had alcohol withdrawal symptoms may times before and had to go to the ER a few times for a few hours while they detoxed me. But this was like nothing I have ever experienced. I couldn't stand up without falling over, and had to get around on my hands and knees. I would normally take a cab to the ER, but I wouldn't even make it to the cab. Had to call 911 for paramedics to the tune of $1250.00. No more Lisinopril for me."


"Taking birth control pills had become a daily nuisance, my doctor had recommended Nexplanon, which seemed the perfect idea at the time. Nexplanon has many benefits: It prevents pregnancy, stops your period for a few months at a time, and is inserted in your body so you will not forget to take the pill. In my personal experience, Nexplanon had quickly became a downfall for me within a years time. I have had a great amount of hair loss, terrible and constant mood swings, (it's made me a sadistic human being) weight gain, fatigue, and aches. During the first five months, my periods would come and go, it was an emotional rollercoaster to deal with this all on my own. I don't suggest this for anyone. The mood swings are terrible."


"I had unprotected sex on a Friday afternoon also later that night I went out and bought aftera for $39.99 on Sunday afternoon took it and started my period early Saturday morning I was very nervous and scared that this pill wouldn't work patiently waiting for my period to come and it did 6 days after taking aftera"


"If this medicine is used correctly it can save your life! I have been on the medicine about 2 years. Night and day from what I once was to what I am now! I used medicines (all of them) for 15 years. Now I have been medicine free for as long as I been on this medicine. I know it only treats opiate use but for whatever reason it has helped me through it all. This medicine has without a doubt saved my life. I went from never having anything to now new truck, nice house, and most importantly my kids have a life I always dreamed of. Just thought I should share."


"I have taken Sprintec tablets for 3 years and never had a problem.  Beginning of March I found out I was 2 months pregnant while still taking sprintec and never missed a pill same time every night. so in 8 months I will have another child....."


"My husband learned about Daliresp 50mcg after being in ICU for a month...Breathing has improved a great deal."


"Worked perfect 12 hrs after using it. I've used it on a few occasions for colonoscopy prep but this time was severe constipation. Stay hydrated and eat in between bathroom sessions!"


"My 6.5 yr old son takes 5mg XR on school days only.has been on it for 30 school days.  He does great in school and it appears a miracle help to him. It does seem to wear off too early so I will talk to the Dr. About that next week. When he comes home from school and we try to do his homework it is a nightmare. He has a very mild case of ADHD.  He eats well so far. He sleeps better and longer now than he did before starting the medicine. But a few weeks ago he told me he feels his heart beating fast and pains in his left side in physical education. Took him for a complete cardio. Check with EkG, ultrasound and all kinds of other tests. He checked out in perfect condition. So we will keep an eye out and see."


"Amazing product! I hope this isn't TMI but I was feeling quite sick as "cold" was sitting on my chest and had a lot of mucus that wasn't coming up, took this medicine and it really does help produce a more productive cough and less frequent, which meant I could clear my throat of mucus & wasn't coughing quite as much. Took for a max x2 a day. Felt lots bit better after 1st dose. Cost me around "


"Tried 3 different birth controls over the past year and finally felt like this one worked. It fixed my bleeding problems and regulated my cycle. Month by month I stared noticing the nausea getting worse and worse. Now are
4 months on this pill I've decided to stop taking it because it makes me sick as a dog. My breast are tender almost all of the time and my sex drive has basically vanished. Wish there was something out there that worked for me but this is definately not it"


"The constipation issue became a new  job, also the medicine stopped working after a few months and the overactive bladder symptoms came back (leaks when sneezing, unexpected urgency, etc.)"


"I'm 25, 5'4 and weighed 189 lbs, I went to my doctor & She put me on topiramate and phentermine which together work amazing! Now after 3 months I'm down to 154lbs. Lost 35 pounds & I'm not sure how many inches off my waist! My goal is to lose 50lbs. Appetite is gone, I switched to a 1200 calorie diet. Side effects: dry mouth, but water fixes that, a short temper, that's a work in progress, occasionally I get dizzy but find I just need to eat. I would highly recommend asking for this! Not done yet but so far I love my new body and my energy has gone up."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"MADE IN CHINA.  Does not work.  Took exactly as directed and it did not work.  Ate light leading up to fasting.  Look for alternatives and realize that China has zero quality control so unclear what you are actually ingesting."


"Started Paxil 15 some years ago for anxiety and depression. I'm on the clinical maximum dosage of 75 mg CR. I had no side effects and it has helped me greatly. I also take Xanax."


"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 have been taking Pristiq for a little over a year now, and I am very happy with it. I am 32 and have been on antidepressants since I was 17. Zoloft worked well for me for many years, then I spent quite a few more years trying different things until I tried Pristiq. I don't remember how long it took to start working, and I haven't had any miraculous weight loss, but I feel like a stable, happy, normal person on it, and that is enough for me. The one warning I will add, if I miss even a day or two I have SERIOUS withdrawals. Depression, obsessing, lots of crying and just generally coming unglued about anything and everything. This is not how I feel or act when I am not on medication, it is definitely a withdrawal, so take with care."


"I've been on this BC for a month now, the first week was a little bumpy with emotions. I highly recommend giving it a week before making your decision on whether or not to stick with it. I'm back to my normal self now, I feel good and don't notice any side effects what-so-ever. My face is clear, sex drive normal. Overall, highly satisfied with this birth control."


"I have tried a lot of different anti- anxiety meds and Valium is the only one that actually works for me and I don't get nasty side effects with."


"So far I've been on this medicine for 10 days.  Pretty impressive as I've lost about 8 lbs already.  Cardio is important so I've managed to do it about 7 out of the 10 days.  First day I used it I felt as if I could run a marathon.  Since then, I've lost the cravings and most of my appetite, but still manage to eat right, and in small portions.  This stuff is a God send, really."


"Didn't help at all against my allergy symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itching & watering eyes)."


"I'm going to echo what most of the other posters her have said and say that Gabapentin can be effective for insomnia, but with a few caveats. I was prescribed 300mg/night by my doctor to help with insomnia induced by opiate withdrawals after recovering from surgery, and on the first few nights it seemed to work reasonably well. However, I did notice that my tolerance to its sedating effects built up rapidly, and by night 4 on 300mg my insomnia reared its stubborn head again. By night 6 I was determined to sleep well, so I upped my dose to 600mg. The result was the first solid 8 hour block of sleep I've had in over a month, but after only two nights of quality rest, I woke up at 2:30am again today. So, beware tolerance build-up!"


"This combination of Hydrocodone/acetaminophen is the best at relieving pain. I have tried Vicodin, Lortab, Lorcet, Vocoprofen, Vicodin HP and just about every different combination and Norco works the best by far. It relieves my pain in all parts of my body, and is also great for headaches, terrible back pain and abdominal cramping. This drug is much less addicting and has less episodes of nausea/vomiting."


"Hypercare is the best! I don't sweat anymore. Now I can go out in pubic without worrying about huge sweat stains appearing on my shirt. I don't have to worry about wearing hoodies, sweaters or jackets to school to cover up my soaking wet shirts especially in the summer time after school! I have been a heavy sweater for 4 years, since 6th grade to 9th). I should have tired this years ago. No more skipping out on activities with friends or just teenage stuff. I can finally be me! I recommend this to anyone with the problem. If it does not work for you, don't give up. Keep trying to find a good product that works for you."


"Got tons of side effects
Tiredness
Restless
Drowsiness
Stiffness
Fast heartbeat

The list goes on"


"I have chronic depression (dysthymia) & anxiety, & the depression worsened recently despite being on Zoloft & Wellbutrin. My psychiatrist suggested we try Rexulti & wean me off the Wellbutrin.

I started on 1mg, & I had a slight headache for the first two days. After that, I felt like I was doing a little better and my husband commented that I was more active than usual. My dose went up to 2mg a couple days ago. Now I feel like I can really tell a difference! I haven't felt depressed, I have more focus and creativity at work, & I've actually had enough motivation to do chores at home. I'm a little restless, which I'll keep an eye on, but I haven't noticed any other side effects besides that and the temporary headache. I'm optimistic!"


"I was using it by a trial, for a year and Im in love. My skin was clear like in the first 2 weeks of my first dose. I have 3 types of Psoriasis and works great.  I get my first prescription for it and still waiting for de Pharmacy to know how much is my copay. Never felt so great in my life and I was diagnosticated with Psoriasis for more than 20 years.

Lo usé mediante prueba del medicamento por un año y quede completamente enamorada. Mi piel quedó limpia en las primeras 2 semanas luego de mi primera dosis. Tengo 3 tipos de Psoriasis y el medicamento trabaja increible. Ya obtuve mi primera receta y sigo esperando por la farmacia para saber cuanto es mi deducible.  Nunca habia tenido la piel tan limpia en mis 20 años de diagnosticada."


"I have sleep apnea. Sometimes I wake up feeling like I haven't had any sleep. In a fog so to speak. I have gone to sleep sitting at stoplights on the way to work in the morning. This medication does wonders. I still drink my coffee and it helps to boost the effects. I still get sleepy in the afternoon sometimes but I am able to fight it off much better. Before I couldn't and would go to sleep. It is just too expensive. "


"I'm bipolar. I've been on various medicines for almost 10 years. Well, my Dad died a few months ago. The depression and anxiety was so bad I could not function. My Doctor prescribed this along with my 40mg of Celexa. It took about a month -6 weeks before I felt any better. But I also have chronic pain from spinal arthritis. This medication has helped me get my life back! But in the process, I've gained 20lbs in 8 weeks and I was already overweight. Its helped with my chronic pain and with the depression. I love how I feel on this but not the weight gain. "


"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!"


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"I was on this medication for one day when I began to gave sereve vomiting 30 minutes after taking it and stomach bloating and uncontrollable gas. By day six I called my doctor to tell him I had bilateral muscle weakness in my legs and could hardly walk a straight line without feeling like I was going to fall down. My doctor stopped the medication after six days after I began to take it when I presented with a known severe adverse side effect of this medication " muscle weakness and loss of coordination""


"Insomnia every night.  Glad I am on it for short duration."


"Hey ladies I wanted to share my story with y'all. I got my period July 4 2017 and then had unprotected sex on July 21 2017 about 12 hours later I took plan b one step. I did not experience any kind of side effects and felt just fine. On August 4th I was expecting to have my period right now time. And didn't so I started worrying. Well yesterday August 6th I started my period only 2 days later. Please don't worry like I did. This pill does work just let it do its thing. It does tell you before you take it you might start your period early, on time ore late. I started mine late and I worried. Don't worry you will be just fine!!!!"


"I have had to use Sklice twice now on my 7yr old daughter and it works like a charm!!! I will never buy OTC options AGAIN!!! thank you Sklice, you make having these little buggers a breeze to get rid of!!! Luv, Luv, Luv!!!"


"Horrible rebound flushing/red spots.  Do not touch this stuff.  It's been one year and redness/ flushing side effects still have not normalized."


"Got this back in February. Since then, I have been bleeding every single day. I feel sick constantly as well as nauseous and light headed. I even ended up contracting MRSA. I have gained about 15 pounds. Mood swings are horrible and I am constantly getting upset over stupid things. Anxiety is off of the roof. Depressed. I'm in the military, and this has honestly been ruining my career."


"I have been taking Prozac now for 20 plus years.  Originally was told by MD that it would be temporary but my experience has been after trying to be off it for several months, that I need to go back on it.  I put myself under depression but I had anxiety, too, after the birth of my first child.  I developed a real neurosis about sleep, i.e., I couldn't shut my brain off at night and had insomnia, became afraid I'd never sleep again.  Being on the lowest dose of Prozac helped me I would say, completely.  At three weeks I despaired of ever feeling normal again and by the fourth week saw a real improvement, by six weeks was very happy and relieved.
It may be losing its effectiveness somewhat after all these years."


"Hello,  this birth control was wonderful for me! I spotted maybe a week. I have never had kids but the insertion was not terrible at all and everything was just amazing!"


"Unfortunately, this Birth Control pill gave me the worst headaches! I think I had at least 2 per week. Some were migraines. I was also more emotional but the headaches were the reason I stopped using this. No weight gain or acne."


"Incredible medication. I don't wake up in a panic  anymore, whereas it was occurring almost daily before. The first few days for me were hell, but I just slept through the headache and nausea and dizziness and now it's one of the best things that's ever happened for me regarding my anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Reduced daily anxiety = less panic attacks. Lexapro is awesome."


"I have been on Tenuate for a year and at first I was losing weight fast (30lbs) and looked great but by 6 months I had stopped losing so my dr took me off it for 3 months. I got back on after I gained back 20 of the 30lbs lost. This was during summer and I have two kids I'm constantly chasing. I've been back on Tenuate for 3 months and I have gained another 6lbs WHILE ON TENUATE!!! I have a healthy diet and exercise regularly. So, if you want to lose weight for a specific occasion this med is great for you but if you want something to help you keep it off....this might not be it."


"I have had headaches/migraines for 20 years and this is the first medicine I have tried that takes the headache away. It goes away in between one and three hours.  This is definitely a miracle for me.  "


"It worked for me, It worked for me, It worked for me....oops...must have missed this mornings dose (LOL). I have suffered from GAD/OCD for a few years. Most of the time I was worried and anxious and suffered panic attacks and general high-stress feelings before taking Paxil. I take 10mg's of Paxil once per day for about 6 months now. I am starting to see my previous behaviors that only prolonged and worsened my anxiety disorder. I am able to relax, calm down, sit back and actually make myself relax, even during high stress times. I hope to not be on Paxil for very many years, but it did help me, help myself out of OCD/panic hell. Counselling was just as important as Paxil, and re-learning how to make yourself chill. Paxil Helps!"


"This is a useful drug but care must be taken not to take too much when trying to get relief.The maximum start-up dose is usually greater than that needed to create problems in sensitive individuals - or if taken with another (incompatible) drug. I took 6 x 0.5 mg tablets for 2 days recently for an attack of left toe gout whilst starting on Simvastatin (for blood lipid lowering) and ended up with severe diarrhea (without any stomach pain). This knocked back the gout attack also, but cessation of therapy allowed it back with a vengeance and two very bad nights followed.
I have cleared the statin after 2 days - so will start low dose Colchicine again if needed tonight- but keeping to 1-2mg max dose in future."


"It's been 30 minutes... I inserted the treatment after my shower. I was fine until a little leaked out. It started to burn and itch. I have school in 4 1/2 hours and can't sleep. It's horrible. I just hold it will work. 6 more days .."


"I'm on week 7, I thought would wait until the effects kicked in to write a review. Regarding the side effects, mild nausea and lethargy for a short while after taking the medication, nothing to avoid taking the pill for. As for the results, very mild, but I notice a difference.  I speak more clearly and confident to people and I overall am less anxious. One big thing,  my constant worry about my health has subsided. I am 31 and live a healthy life bit I get a stomach ache and think I have colon cancer. These thoughts I laugh at now. I recommend taking this. Only 8 stars because it is not a cure all, only you can be."


"I had unprotected sex in Nov 2016. As they always say, stuff just happens. According to my period app I was supposed to ovulate the next day so I went out and got Plan B and used it within the first 24 hrs. I was a bit worried it wouldn't work since there is a lot of talk about a weight limit and I'm well over it.

A little over a week later I had an extremely light period. I didn't get panicked as a lot of the reviews said this could happen. My scheduled period did not show for that month, so I logged that one in my app.

Fast forward to this month and as predicted my period came right on schedule. I did have breast tenderness and a lot of cramping. Also, my flow is very heavy.

This pill does work if used as directed."


"I'm 27 and had the Depo shot on the last day of my period and everything went fine for the next month and a half. I started spotting and kept spotting for a month, however I was told spotting could happen but with time and continued shots it could stop entirely. It was a little inconvenient but nothing liners couldn't take care of. I have only taken the shot once and have decided to go with another form of birth control. My decision is based on the facts of bone loss with prolonged use and not to do with any other symptoms that have been attributed to it i.e. hair loss, weight gain, pain, emotional issues, as I had none of those symptoms but I may not have been on it long enough. If not for the possible bone loss I would keep getting it."


"I was placed on this medication after Enbrel, and it worked really well for the first couple of years.  My psoriasis never went away, but it did help it.

It greatly helped my arthritis, I was not able to get in and out of bed by myself, could barely get into a car, and was having difficulties dressing.  It was not immediate, but within 6 months, I was feeling "almost" normal.

Then I started developing GI issues when I injected to the point that the acid reflux and pain was so difficult, I ended up in an ER.

After  4 years, the medication has stopped working, so my rheumatologist recommended switching. It was great while it worked, but now on to something that I hope worked as well as Humira did initally."


"I have found Skelaxin to almost be a wonder drug.  No side effects and my muscle spasms are almost gone, no twitching while I am in an office meeting anymore.  I am not foggy and can function normally.  This has been great for me."


"I initially took Cimzia as part of a clinical trial.  During the trial, we received a full dose (400 mg) every 2 weeks but, once it was available on the market, the dose was only 400 mg every 4 weeks (or 200 mg every 2 weeks).  The medicine wore off before the 4 weeks was up, so I switched to Humira, which worked much better.  Now that I've had rare side effects to Humira (and already failed Remicade), I've had to switch back to Cimzia.  It is only working for about a week and a half of the four weeks (at 400 mg).  I hope to find another alternative, as this isn't worth it."


"I have had no problems on this medication. Was switched around to a couple different other generics for Alesse for 2 years.  I have been on Orsythia, specifically, for over 6 months have seen no difference with this and the others.  I have had no side effects at all. Orsythia/Alesse has helped my mood and my adult acne.  It has also made a major difference with my periods.  Now lighter, shorter with little to no cramping."


"Whenever I put Timoptic in my eye, it makes me nervous. It feels like something is in my eye; my vision becomes blurred, I have no energy. It has the same side effects as my blood pressure medication, (Lopressor) because it is in the same class, a BETA BLOCKER."


"I am soon to be 62 and have suffered with migraines since age 12 and cervical dystonia for many years. My Doctor suggested Botox for both and I can hardly contain my emotions when someone asks how I'm doing. Even now, my eyes are full of grateful tears...I have a LIFE again! Everyday used to be a struggle, but not anymore! To wake up without a migraine, or pain is like a miracle...No it IS a miracle! I love my Doctor for suggesting it. I love Allegan for making it available.

If your Doctor says you're a good candidate, or you think you might be, ASK! It might change your LIFE!"


"This Medicine had no affect on my HBP.  I previously took Lisinopril, but needed to change medicines for another reason.  My BP went very high (160/110) even after taking this medicine for 7 days and I had to be changed to another medicine."


"Worst experience I've ever had on any medication.  My doctor started me on a small dose.  Within 30 minutes of taking it, I felt a buzzing in my head and a fuzzy, numb feeling.  Then, about an hour later, the really bad side effects kicked in.  My heart started racing and feeling like it was going to explode.  I started hearing voices.  I felt so bad I almost called 911 -- I couldn't even stand up or lay down -- just laid propped up on the couch for about 24 hours until the effects started wearing off.  It was the scariest experience I've ever had and made me afraid to take any other anti-depressant."


"I had my gall bladder out years ago, and immediately starting having  problems with severe diarrhea.  For years, I always needed to know where the bathroom was wherever I went.  Traveling was a nightmare.  I am a teacher, and I would not eat until I was done teaching for the day because of this issue.  I heard about cholestyramine and talked to my doctor, who said it was worth a try.  From Day 1 taking it, the diarrhea issues were solved!  I have been taking it for about 7 years, and it helped me get my life back to normal.  My prescription ran out and I am having to go for a couple of days without it, and I am scared of what will happen!"


"Works well for me...I have Multiple Sclerosis."


"I took one of these huge patches back when I pretty opiate intolerant, thinking g it would be like a fentanyl patch Lol. This thing had me leaning after I smoked, couldn't walk right. Didn't like the residue left over."


"I had all of these horrible thoughts racing through my mind for 5 weeks before I started Prozac. I kept thinking about dying, my family dying. I feared time and death and could not stop the racing thoughts no matter what. I thought I would never get better, but then a week after starting Prozac, I no longer had any racing thoughts! It has brought me back into the moment. No more intrusive thoughts :)"


"I got the nexplanon (implanon in Ireland!) in 2012 when I was 22 and I think its brilliant like that could never remember to take the pill and could never find a method of contraception that suited me the pill made me gain a lot of weight I was very moody and got very bad cramps...with the implant I spotted for the first week and haven't had a period since never gained weight my bust got bigger which is a good thing! never had a problem with my skin or mood swings...now been 25 and just after having my second one inserted I think their brilliant not for everyone by the looks of these reviews but me and my boyfriend of 2 years swear by it only negative is its very expensive if your insurance doesn'tt cover it"


"Bactrim worked great for me, provided I drank lots of water, otherwise you can become dehydrated."


"Get this injected when I have a particularly bad migraine and my hydrocodone and imitrex are not helping. Works like a charm every time. Other meds haven't helped when they get this bad. Plus it's cheap which helps when having to go to a clinic/er."


"My dear and esteemed friends,

Buspirone is in my opinion the best anxiety med I have had.  It is extremely safe, nonaddictive and has no withdrawal effects. I am 32 and never panic/anxiety attacks until  March of 2014 when I had kidney stone and was given Hydromorphone for the pain and it messed up my nervous system giving me pretty bad anxiety/panic attacks and a little depression.  First I tried xanax 0.25 mg for awhile but it is short acting and then was given citalopram 10 mg but I stopped it because of concern for possible side effects of ssris.  Finally my cousin who is a wise doctor gave me buspirone 7.5 mg and it was greaaattt!! Took it for 3 months and total dissappearance of anxiety, panic and no depression, what a blessing it is."


"I jumped onto Levlen just under a week ago and since then I have been CONSTANTLY nauseous, to the point that I can't even concentrate at work. I have not actually vomited but the nausea is debilitating! I thought maybe I should have a good meal before taking it, so did so but no success came of it. Calling my dr today to switch meds!"


"I am 21 years old and have a 3 year old daughter. I had Mirena placed a month postpartum. It was great at first. I had the dizziness and cramping after placement but a few hours and it was gone. I had my last period in December of 08, which has been great but the negative effects out number the 2 good effects. (No periods and no unwanted pregnancy) I have had Mirena for just over 3 years now and I feel like crap. I have bad mood swings, nausea, abdominal pains so severe sometimes I want to cry, headaches at least 3 times a week, weight gain, bloating (badly) and extreme tiredness. I didn't want to believe it is my Mirena because it works so well, but the worse my symptoms get, the more difficult it is not to blame Mirena. Getting it removed!"


"I don't notice it working.  I notice when it stops.  Example.  I had a physical therapy pool session.  I overslept and took my 10mg dose 30 minutes before pool time.  I started my session shuffling my feet along the pool floor.  30 minutes in to my pool time I could pick my knees up like a drum majorette.  I convinced my PT about the value of Baclofen.

Like other antispasmodics and pain pills, Baclofen starts working in one hour.  It's helpful to set your alarm an hour early and take it before you get out of bed.

I take it for a mitochondrial myopathy.  I always have a low level of spasms that become like charley horses with activity."


"Over 12 years of battling with hypothyroidism with all it s crazy symptoms, stop school to tired and forgetful, went through a divorce too depressed and lots of weight gain. I thought it was me and dr made me feel I am using my thyroid as excuse since the lab work is normal. I don't want to jinks it but I took my first Armour Thyroid yesterday after requesting it, AND why it a miracle. I felt so alive. So said to think back on my life and what could have been if doctor just really listen to their patient. It took a facebook group to open my eyes."


"For Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was diagnosed since 2011, nothing works well. Till I am allowed Humira 40MG. pen + 20 mg. of Methotrexate every 2 weeks. Humira works over night, none of the side effects. I am back to my perfect self again.

Now I am waiting for another shoe to drop; medications stop working, insurance stop covering, liver funk out etc."


"I was diagnosed with early emphysema on 11th October 2017 (5 weeks ago).  I have never used a bronchodilator previously and I find this product easy to use.  I no longer wheeze when lying down and believe my breathing is easier than before."


"This really works. I used it for a week and my acne cleared but I found out using a bit to much will dry your face up and itch badly, but worth it, well for me. I was also given DIFFERIN with it, makes a good combination."


"I'm 26 years old and had severe acne at around 21. My dermatologist prescribed me Accutane for six months. At first my acne seemed to increase but then after a couple of months my face started to clear up. I had lots of side-effects. I had dry skin all over, including eyes, lips and nose. The use of Accutane affected my menstruation. Nowadays in fact I am getting spots and blemishes again due to my hormonal imbalance. I still have dry nose and I use petroleum jelly . Unfortunately I am getting lots of spots lately again after 5 years."


"I have severe muscle spasms due to anxiety and these stop them and also relax my muscles making me less nervous. After 20 mg I'm good to go."


"I had this medicine from last year for my asthma attack and continuous cough from the allergy season. I took the medice yesterday night about 9:00 p.m. Then I tried to drink a soup but I couldn't because I was so dizzy and with nausea. I went to sleep but I couldn't. I got off this morning feeling in the same way, but anyway I went to work, one hour later I came back home after threw up 3 times and I am still on bed."


"I have used Augmentin several times mainly for skin infection (acne) and had found it effective although I took only half course of 7 tabs x 625mg on each occasion. So far I have experienced no sight effects. I also increased my probiotics intake while on this antibiotic. The probiotics should not be taken at same time but after a lapse of time, say four hours or longer after consuming the drug. I would recommend Augmentin as it is effective and to me there is no side effect."


"This is a follow up to a review I left on 18th July '12.   It took 4 months for rituximab to start making a real difference and what a difference it has made to me.  I can now walk and do most things that I couldn't do before I got it.  I had another infusion yesterday and I will get another in 2 weeks and that will complete my 2nd course of it.  That was 10 months between infusions although you can get it again after 6 months. I had Enbrel before starting rituximab but it didn't do a thing for me, in fact I think I got worse but rituximab has been fantastic.  The infusion took around 6 hours but it was painless and I had no problems at all during it, although I would recommend taking a book to read as it is quite a long time sitting."


"I started having trouble getting and maintaining an election so asked my doctor about the problem. He prescribed Viagra and it works great. One hour after taking 50MG I get a beautiful erection, sensitivity is good, climax is wonderful. My wife loves it and climaxes every time,  sometimes twice.
Side effects can be a flushed skin about an hour in and sometimes a bit of a headache (not severe, but there). Two asprin fix things.  Wonderful product. Happy wife, happy life!"


"I love my nexo ive had it 2 and a half years. This is the first birth contol ive ever used and i choose it because ill never remeber to take the pills and my fiance is well endowed and i didnt want him to be uncomfortable during sex with a vaginal implant and i also heard that they come out..The first year and a half was great the only draw back im having now is after getting my period maybe ever 4mts im getting it multiple times in one month i got my period and went off and about a week and a half later it came right back. Im also experiencing some pain in my sohlder on the side that my implant is on. I plan to see my doctor about that if it dose not go away. Also ive lost about 25lbsall in all im pleased"


"My experience with Fetzima has been terrible.  I have never had so many side effects in my life with a medication.  At 20 miligrams I felt a little sick to my stomach. After two days the Dr. told me to increase to 40.  I felt more sick and then got a bad head ache. The pharmacist  said this should go away after a couple of weeks.  In about a week I started throwing up and sweating along with the head ache.  My doctor told me to reduce the miligrams to 20 again.  I didn't feel any better.  Now I have gone off it after 2 weeks and 3 days.  It's been another 4 days and I'm still deathly ill.  Hopefully this will go away soon.  The medication started to help the depression and anxiety but I can't live with the side effects."


"I was prescribed Bactrim for a skin infection and took one pill.  Within less than an hour I was vomiting, shaking, sweating, and had severe diarrhea. I was literally unable to do anything but lay in bed with frequent bathroom trips for the next 24 hours.  It was horrible.  Never again."


"I have been on 150MG XL for 6 months now.  I was prescribed it because of the death of my teenage son and also the end of a relationship.  I was diagnosed with moderate depression.  I felt like a zombie with very little motivation.  I always work out and have managed to stay active but still things were not right.  I went on this and it has made all the difference.  I will agree there is apathy while on it.  The highs are not as high but the lows are not as low.  You just have a quiet balance in your life and it does not feel like you are on any sort of medication.  I attempted to go off of it and could already tell I felt sad so trying another 6 months.  I did not lose any weight but I am pretty thin already.  Wonderful medicine for me."


"Only been on 15 mg for a week now and just upped to 30mg.
Warning do not mix this with alcohol when you first start you will not be able to walk. Take this at night. Fantastic sleep aid and WOW, Such vivid crazy and wonderful dreams. For me so far 10 times better than any SSRI antidepressant. I've probably been taking anxiety medicine for the last 6 years. This medicine should be first line prescription when anxiety is presented. Also taking 300 mg pregabalin at the moment, once a day which I quite like.
I'll rate again in a month or two but for now it's a Definite 10!"


"Have had seizures since I was 8 and am now 36 and have been on Vimpat for a year now and has been the only medication to almost stop the gran mals all together. Used to have 4 to 6 a month mostly during my menstral and now have not had one in almost 3 months. There are some side effects migranes and major dizziness but those are not as often as they were in the begining and the way that I look at it is that the possitive out ways the negative. Best medication for me"


"well...... it worked.
that's about all I can say.You'll be able to focus, and if you don't mind the fact that the ONLY thing you'll be able to focus on is how tired, nauseated, and occasionally slightly mad you feel, this is the medicine for you.
despite that, it's worth nothing that i'm only 17 and ~130 pounds which is really close to the minimum weight on the box. based on what i've seen, it seems to work better for ~30  year olds who aren't underweight. not a professional, obviously, though, so take this with a grain of salt."


"I have had two colonoscopies, one with fentanyl and one with propofol. The propofol was such an easier induction and I woke up like it never happened. A great drug!!"


"After several cycles of Velcade, Revlimid and a steroid, my doctor switched me to Revlimid alone. I have had no side effects of note. The Velcade really knocked me out. Shortly after a stem cell transplant, I had a small blood clot that caused double-vision, but that resolved itself in about a month. Now I take a blood thinner (Jantoven). Two-and-a-half years after my transplant, my myeloma is extremely well-controlled, and I'm guessing that Revlimid is a big part of the reason. The main issue I have with Revlimid is the astronomical price; my insurance pays 75% of the cost. A grant from a nonprofit foundation has been a huge help in covering the out of pocket."


"I started off with the pill but like most teens couldn't remember to take it. I went to the doctor & she told me about skyla. Getting it was probably the most painful thing ever. My cervex wouldn't soften so I had to get the medicine to make it soften. I had really bad cramps for about 2 days & even missed a little bit of school but I hate pain & can not stand it. But I don't regret getting it because I really do love it. I still do get periods ever month but my Dr. said it was normal for Skyla. I love not having to worry about taking a pill or having to worry if something accidentally happens. I totally recommend this to every body,  especially teens!"


"I don't see a whole lot of reviews from younger men. I am 24 with all the usual symptoms as everyone else, such as no sex drive at all or motivation or energy.  T levels were 260. Got prescribed two pumps a day from the VA...I feel slightly better after about a week but nothing great yet. I feel that I need to go up to at least 6 pumps but I will find out in the beginning of Dec when my next blood work is scheduled, until then I will keep hope that it starts working better."


"I am taking carbamazepine for seizures, but found that I was gaining a lot of weight (22 pounds in 2 months). After doing much search on the web I found an article where a doctor did research on 15 patients that had weight gain on carbamazepine and found that by taking the Acetazolamide the patients were able to lose the weight they had gained and maintained the weight lost.
Today is day 2 on the Acetazolamide and I am sick to my stomach, feeling a bit dizzy and withdrawn. I would love to lose the weight that many of you have mentioned, but not sure if I want to deal with the side effects to achieve this."


"I'm still in shock. No relapse this time.  This was my fourth try at getting rid Hep C. Harvoni was  by far the easiest in terms of side effects. I took for 12 weeks trouble sleeping and headaches were my mild reactions to the drug. I was diagnosed in 2001. I suspect I was infected in the mid 70's. This disease has been a constant reminder of my poor choices in my youth. I hope the guilt and shame I sometimes feel will abate. I did not want to die from this leaving my family the knowledge i died of a self administered disease. I quit drinking (30 years February 1 2016) and believe this helped keep me healthy until this medical miracle. Peace,  Mark"


"No side effects  with this med at all and blood sugar readings have been lower. This medication is expensive  but my Dr provided me with a savings coupon and I pay $5 out of pocket."


"Demerol stimulates me and during my last 3 mild sedation procedures the more Demerol they gave me the more stimulated I became, causing me to be wide awake during the procedures."


"LOVE it.  I wish I would have tried to get it 10 years ago"


"I use to be on Asacol 400mg, but they stopped making or something. So, I've been on Asacol HD 800mg for about a year. I think it's the best for me, because I really haven't had any severe or major side effects from the medicine. It is doing the job it is supposed to do. I've been taking Asacol for over 20 years. Never had to try anything else, but for some reason they want me to try Imuran, and I don't like what the reviews are saying about it.  Like they say, if it's not broke don't fix it.  Overall, I've had some flares over the 20 yrs., but nothing is worth me having to get use to another medicine."


"I would not recommend this product I definitely was not prepared for the side effects. The packaging says "mild burning or itching may occur" but I experienced so much pain after using this product I would never have used it if I had known how much pain I'd experience."


"I am a very active 65 yr. old man.  I took Alfuzosin for one week.  The Good: after 3 days I noticed a significant reduction in the number of trips to the bathroom.  That was awesome.  The other amazingly weird thing was....I generally felt like I was 25 years younger.  The usual aches and stiffness that a man my age accepts were gone and my physical endurance was much better.  The Bad: I did have minor headaches that would creep into my day from time to time and occasionally I felt tired.  Also, my sex drive was diminished.  The Worst: I tried to have sex and had a hard time maintaining an erection.  My penis is now disfigured.  I have peyronie's disease, no kidding."


"I've been on Cymbalta for a year now. I had a bad truck wreck and had to have my neck fused. I was taking 60mg of hydrocodone and it kept me from taking care of my company. Started with 60mg  of Cymbalta and after about six months went to 30mg. Things so far have been great. My wife is happy because my bad temper has gone. Side affects have been, sweating bad at night and less sleep. Over all it has been a life saver."


"I've been on trinessa for about 9 years now. But for the last 3 years I have been having major issues that trinessa had previously helped with. These past 3 years my acne has come back, my skin is flaky and oily, I have unwanted facial hair, my periods have become much shorter which for me is not good, I have seizures during the 2 weeks leading up to my period, I am in immense pain and have severe fatigue during those 2 weeks as well. I'm not sure if the birth control has stopped working or if something else that the gyno hasn't found is causing this mess. Either way, this month I will not be taking it so I can see if being off of it helps anything."


"I was one of the first patients in the United States to take Benlysta in June 2011.  I had to slow the infusions down to three hours instead of one and half hours.  I experienced nausea and an mild sort of asphasia (a sort of muddled thinking) and a headache.  I was also tired after the infusions.  Each time I had an infusion (6 total) my temperature would rise about a degree and I felt discomfort in the abdominal/ bladder region.  The discomfort only occurred after the Benlysta infusions! Eventually it did turn out to be serious and this is why I'm writing this review.  Though rare, the medicine lowered my immunity."


"I've used Subutex for 2 years for drug misuses. In this time I have struggled with weight loss. I've tried eating differently to try to gain more weight. Now I have reduced myself to 2ml of Subutex, over this two year period have found weight gaining. I have also noticed cold nights sweats when in bed. I wake shivering and covered in cold sweats the bed sheets have big damp patches on them. I have found them very good at keeping me drug free."


"Best sleep aid on the market....just can't find it anymore."


"I have had amnestic episodes: I have had conversations with my spouse that at time were extremely distressing to him- the next day I would have no memory the discussions. I have walked in my sleep. A few times I was saved from hurting myself e.g. thinking (telling him) that I was going to the bathroom but starting to sit down before I got there and luckily caught by my husband - or I might have struck my head if he had not caught me.  ( I didn't remember those times as well). But my strange behavior started to worry my husband -a loving and devoted spouse.I have gone onto the internet while on Ambien and bought items. At first I was puzzled by unexpected deliveries of whatever I had bought- I realized the impact of Ambien on my life."


"My Diagnoses:

    Chronic Treatment Resistant Unipolar Depression, GAD w/ anxiety attacks, ADHD

I have been on lamotrigine as both mono and polytherapy. I am currently in remission  chronic unipolar depression (9 months now). Lamotrigine has by far been the most effective (alone or combined) with almost no side effects, the only one being paresthesias (tingling in mouth, fingers, and toes). After reducing my daily dose from 200mg to 150mg, I have NO side effects with lamotrigine. I've never felt better in my life.

Current Meds: (1x daily in the AM)

 Lamotrigine 150mg

 Bupropion XL 150mg

 Paxil 30mg

 Propranolol 20mg (BID if higher anxiety that day)

 Adderall IR- 30mg in the AM, 20mg at 2pm"


"I am on my 5th week. Started at 209 lbs and am down to 196. I am also following a medical weight loss program, (that I try hard to stick to) track my food in MyFitnessPal and take a hot yoga class at least two days a week.  Mild nausea during the step-up period, no other side effects.  I am normally an anxious person and this does not increase  my anxiety at all. I also suffer from migraines and have seen no increase in those either. I feel great.  I find that taking the evening dose around 4-5pm helps with overeating at dinner and evening.  This medicine is helping me stick to a "diet" program for the first time in my entire life.  I even had lap-band surgery six years ago and didn't see these types of results. I am very happy with it."


"I have been taking Gabapentin for approximately 18 months.  The reason for this is following "botched" surgery, I developed a haematoma 5.5cms. I had further surgery to remove the haematoma as it was lodged in my abdominal wall. I have been left with a neuroma and neuropathic pain. The only side effects I seem to have suffered are a gain in my weight and I cannot drink alcohol as it makes me feel sick but the drug has brought me tremendous relief from pain."


"I have been using this for two months now and it is very helpful, a lot better than the albuterol solution I had for my nebulizer. This is wonderful. I can actually catch my breath with this and can walk a lot further using it."


"Terrible experience my periods have got so heavy I have not been able to go to work as the super plus tampon and sanitary towel need changing every hour. Twice this week had to change the bedding as double sanitary protection does not stop it going through pyjamas, sheets, mattress protector. Have been bleeding every day for 5 months."


"Vimpat is wonderful, in that it has stopped my seizures for the past two years. I am also on Carbatrol. Short-term memory loss I can live with, but my main concern is dizziness. I can't find the combination of times to take it/foods to take it with. It seems like I find a combination that works for three or four days, then I'm so dizzy I cannot stand up. Very frustrating."


"Cymbalta has helped me so much with horrible fibromyalgia pain.  It has also helped a great deal with anxiety.  However, I no longer believe I can handle the side effects. I have gained over 20 pounds in less than 4 months, despite exercise and calorie restriction.  I have severe constipation, very odd dreams, and hot flashes.  It is such a shame, because my fibromyalgia is so much better with Cymbalta."


"Warning warning warning !!!  Please please please do not use Monistat 7, it has the worst unbearable itch in life.   The first night I inserted the cream, I had absolutely no sleep, it itched all night long, and  it made my mild yeast infection symptoms 1 million times worse. I will definitely be going to my doctor first thing in the morning. I am currently heading to the shower to wash this out of me . I inserted the first dose at 1am after a midnight run to the drugstore, it's now 5am.. I'm about to go insane"


"My Migraine did Not go away . It might have only marginally lessened it . I went to bed for two hours and have felt terrible all day . This medication made me very sleepy . I took a Second Wafer some hours later but there was Still No Improvement ! Now I cannot take any other migraine medication for a whole 24 hours. Which is far too long . I made the mistake of taking the second wafer when the first one wasn't helping. I already had Jaw Pain so reading that others get it as a side effect makes me wonder. It reminds me of Imigraine and I thought that useless. Sydney Australia 2015.05.18"


"I have had 3 shoulder surgeries in 16 months. My pain medications have been changed several times. I also have had gastric bypass, so this medication upsets my stomach a lot. I am working with my doctor to change me to something that protects my pouch and liver."


"I had severe panic attacks for 6 months! I developed derealization and was scared of everything. I felt like I was living in a nightmare. I felt relief from Lexapro immediately. I was foggy headed at first but that went away. I feel amazing after 2 months of taking it. I feel like my old self again. The only side effect is dizziness at night sometimes. I only take 5 mg."


"I took the Suprep at 6 & 11pm Sunday. Had procedure Mon @ 7. I was in a lot of pain all over and when I woke from procedure was in worse pain. They sent me home and I was unable to eat or drink, but no vomiting. The pain got worse by evening and I was unable to walk. Off to ER where I was admitted. My Lipase level was over 3000, liver functions very bad, WBC very bad, and Potassium dangerously low!! They had to pump me full of fluids and potassium! Needless to say, Suprep almost killed me!! Never again!! And Never Again on Colonoscopy!! This was my 4th colonoscopy and never had this happen before!! 6 days later and still have diarrhea!!"


"Amazing! I have been on Contrave for 5 weeks and have lost over 15lbs so far. I have no cravings, I dont feel hungry and all side effects have gone away. I have two other conditions that have always prevented me from losing any weight through diet and exercise alone. Losing 3 lbs a week for me is like 10-15 lbs per week for some people. I hope more people struggling with weight loss and obesity try Contrave, I am on my way to being a healthy weight and my mood and energy have been great!"


"My 8-year old son has been on various stimulants, in addition to regular clonidine, Intuniv, Risperdal, Seroquel, Strattera and Abilify.

My son is extremely impulsive and aggressive to our family on a daily basis, and I had been thinking that nothing would help our son. Our new psychiatrist recommended Kapvay and we were very skeptical, as our son was irritable and even more aggressive regular clonidine with Kapvay, there has been a SIGNIFICANT decrease in our son's aggressiveness.  He is still very obsessive, rude and defiant verbally.  So physically, we rate Kapvay a TEN in decreasing aggression.  But only rated it a seven due to other factors.  It is the ONLY medicine that has helped physical aggression for our son."
