"I started taking this pill last October and have not had a period since. I've noticed being extremely tired and moody. I'm not that type of person, also I have NEVER had an issue with weight gain until I started this pill last year, I have very slowly gained 12lbs. I eat very well and, workout and I can't get off even a pound. It's really upsetting. "


"Today October 8th 2015 has made one week since I have been on humira I am so pleased with the results my skin is already starting to clear up I'm so exited to see what it will look like in a month. I have suffered from psoriasis for over 10 years and for the first time I have hope that I will feel normal again. I have rated it a 9 for only one reason (the medicine burns a little) but over all not as bad as I thought it would be being I have to give the shot to myself, I have only noticed a small side effect every now and then I get headaches but nothing I can't tolerate. Today I have taken my second dose and I feel fine not one symptom yet. I can't wait to see the future where I can finally go out without hiding under long sleeves and pants"


"I've tried many birth controls, probably about eight, but this one stands out in my memory as the worst just because of the side effects. I will say I can appreciate a short period, four days I believe? I was on this pill for only a month a while back, but if I recall correctly that was the month I reached my highest weight ever, gaining ten pounds. I got rather irritable and was glad when I switched to Quartette and apologized for snapping at people :^)"


"I had my first preventative care colonoscopy today (As a male, I joined the "Over 50 Club" this year), and I have to say that I was a bit ambivalent about being sedated for this procedure. As soon as I was administered Propofol intravenously, I was out within 5 seconds! The next thing I knew, I was being awakened in the recovery room, and was out within 10 minutes. The only after effect of my colonoscopy, was feeling a bit crampy, as if I had eaten Mexican food, that was heavy on the beans (sorry for that visual). There was no nausea or other adverse reactions afterwards. All in all, the procedure and administering of Propofol was great!"


"I would take two 500mg pills once a day. I used it for occasional tooth aches because of my braces. It helped alot. Alot better than ibuprofen or naproxen actually."


"I had an endoscopic procedure yesterday and they used Propofol instead of Versed . I am 61 years old and was told of a slight sting . I had about 60 seconds (long seconds) of a feeling like my hand was set on fire. I will never let anyone use this drug on me again. I'm 61 and healthy and can't imagine if I was a frail little old lady or man given this drug . The pain was horrific."


"This medicine has saved my life in my own opinion. I suffered from severe panic attacks and thought that I was going crazy prior to being diagnosed with my conditions. Now I feel like I can lead a normal life. I am able to work a full time job that is extremely stressful at times and not worry about going into a panic attack. I no longer have trouble losing my breath when I do get upset and this medicine has made a tremedious difference in my every day life."


"Worked very well but only downfall some days made me super anxious and jittery. Overall cant wait to get back on it for some energy."


"I got this implant October 2014. I had terrible side effects for about the first month. Dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, and I was always tired. Like. Always. I would fall asleep and my boyfriend would wake me up and I didn't even know I was sleeping. 5 minutes later I would fall asleep again. It really sucked and I thought about removing it. I also had very irregular bleeding for maybe 5 months. I'm glad I did not get this removed!!! All of those symptoms stopped after the first month (besides the bleeding). Now that I've had it for over a year and a half, I never get a period, just occasional spotting every 3 or 4 months. Besides when first inserted, I haven't had any pain in my arm. Despite the initial side effects, I recommend this"


"Completed two weeks on Saxenda today and experienced an 18 pound weight loss. Began at 284lbs, now 266lbs. I'm a 55yo male and 6' tall. About to commence the 1.8 dose, experienced fatigue and nausea most days, hoping the side effects settle down over the next few weeks. Haven't felt hungry since taking the first dose, getting by quite well on two small meals per day, drinking plenty of water and mint tea. No cravings for anything, really pleasantly surprised the mind and body have finally aligned to make real weight loss a possibility. Taking shot at night just before bedtime to minimise exposure nausea, no so sure it's working. Would recommend highly to those who have previously unsuccessfully attempted dieting and exercise regimes."


"Used this product for 2 years. BE CAREFUL. It was very effective in clearing ALL of my acne. As a result of this cream, I previously got seborrheic dermatitis which I had to cure with antibiotics and it gave me a scar. It also made my skin swollen and the scar more visible, it feels as if it stops your skin from repairing and keeps stripping it of all moisture even if moisturising constantly. It makes your skin very dry.  I stopped using it two weeks ago as I thought the side effects outweigh the positives and my skin feels much better. The scar is less visible and healing. Currently using glycolic acid with differin and I'm on the dretine contraceptive pill, moisturising with mango butter (non-comedogenic) - very effective."


"I was on bioidentical HRT for a couple of years before I had to have a hysterectomy.  I was able to keep my ovaries, vagina and cervix.  After the surgery, I was only allowed to take my transdermal estrogen; no more progesterone.  I am 60 years old now and have had painful, unpleasant intercourse for some time.  My gyn noticed how dry I looked and talked to me about it and gave me a prescription for this.  I am so glad she did.  I was hurting after my exam and used it that night.  It made a difference overnight. It isn't messy at all.  I use it at bedtime twice a week.  I'm so glad there was a solution to this problem that is rarely talked about.  A friend chided me for taking a non-bioidentical and I told her that I don't care."


"i started belviq one week ago, i got on the scale im 3lbs up. my legs have been swollen since yesterday..i feel dizzy and fatigue taking it..ive been eating less and exercising at least 3 times in the past week.i don't think this pill is for me...im feeling uncomfortable with swollen legs its scary...i will call my physician tomorrow to see what i can do for this to go away...but i wont take another pill after this."


"Diabetes, Type 1 with insulin resistance. I use Lantus and rapid acting Novolog together along with diet and exercise to adjust my blood sugars and get my A1C's where I want them. I know where I feel my best, for me its 100 -120 and my doctor says they work for him too.  When I was 1st diagnosed 3 years ago they said I was Type 2 but later found I really was an misdiagnosed Type 1. Not that it really makes a difference as long as its controlled, which mine is with Lantus and Novolog.  Neither of which are covered by my insurance. Luckily I found a clinic that only charges $5 per box. I need 1 box plus 1 pen of Lantus  and 2 boxes of Novolog per month sometimes more so I keep 4 boxes in the fridge."


"Did help lower blood sugar, but caused constipation. I never built up to taking the full dose."


"I got prescribed this a few month ago and I seen a difference within a week or so UNTIL I noticed how dry and flaky my skin was getting I couldn't bare it no longer as I was itch, itch and itch HOWEVER I was back to my doctors and got prescribed the same stuff only this time I am going to give it time and hope for the best results."


"Started the 60 mg tablet after breakfast today. Day 1 symptoms are slight nauseous feeling after eating. Some fatigue ( swam 1.5klm today at lunch) some stomach pain and yes some urine retention.
Have taken Pristiq before 100mg symptoms were same but had bad itching with pristiq. Lets see what I feel like in 3 days I know the initial period is tough. Score at this point would be NA but I've put 5 until more time progresses. will try to give update on Monday"


"I started taking Marlissa about 5 months ago and when I first started taking it it took about a month for me to adjust. I had mood swings, worsened anxiety and depression, and I was tired all the time. The pros of this pill were decreased acne and my boobs got bigger! My period is also now 3 days instead of 7 and I have basically no cramps. The reason I started taking the pill was because of my extremely painful cramps and it did its job of taking them away which I am grateful for. I have recently realized I have been getting panic attacks a week before my period and I am not sure if it is because of the birth control or just me."


"I have tried many medications over the years, mostly antidepressants but a few others like lamotrigine & Seroquel. I must say that nothing has been more effective than Latuda. I was on Wellbutrin for a couple years, was ok. This does make me drowsy so I take it at night. I do have to take with food or will make me really nauseous. Truly a miracle drug as I was not doing well."


"I've been taking Abilify for eight months now. Although it made me gain 15-20kg (something like 33-40 lbs I believe?), my experience is quite positive. The sadness from my major depressive episode, as well as my suicidal thoughts, have been almost annihilated. The reason why I rated it as a six is because it didn't help ease the great fatigue I have. But it helped a lot, that is for sure."


"I suffered from massive diarrhea and horrible incontinence that kept me hiding at home, deeply depressed and wearing a diaper.
Budesonide changed my life!  I travel now and go everywhere with confidence. The bad news is that the American pharma industry has jacked up the cost of GENERIC Budesonide to over $1,000 a month ( without insurance.) Even WITH my United Healthcare insurance, the cost is STILL
$300 a month! Luckily, I found a Canadian website which sells drugs from Europe and India, so now my cost for 30 days of Budesonide is $125. Check Consumer Reports for guidelines about how to safely purchase meds from Canada. Meanwhile, tell your Congress person that the U.S. Pharma industry is BLEEDING us!"


"I have had the Mirena for a total of 10  years & I'm very pleased. The only part I don't like is the insertion process (yes, it can hurt, but it's a quick pain if you have a doctor that knows what they are doing), the bacterial vaginosis I sometimes get & the ovarian cysts. Everything else is great! I rarely have periods & when I do I just spot a little (I used to have very heavy periods & BAD cramps). I also haven't ended up pregnant. I highly recommend this form of birth control."


"Every 2 years or so I switch birth control pills to get my body used to something new. Other than Yaz making me border line psychotic, Aviane is next at the bottom of the list. I've been on it for about 6 months now and I had to go back to what I was on before. If I didn't take it at the exact same time every day, I would spot and after month 3 I bled for 2 weeks straight. My acne is the worst it's ever been and I know Aviane caused the cystic acne on my chin every month. "


"I'm 47 and seem to not be able to move the scale to lose the last 15 pounds. My doctor suggested trying this combo, she said it was cheaper to buy it separate than buying the pill that has both combined. I use the goodrx app on my iphone and each prescription ran me about $10. This is only my 2nd day. I couldn't sleep last night and have had a headache and diarrhea today. I don't know if it's the med or if I just picked up a bug. I had no desire for food last night. I don't drink coke but had one today because I felt bad and couldn't drink it, it tasted funny. I'm going to give it a week."


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


"I was on Levlen for around 8 months. I started it a month before my wedding day, and because I'm still quite young, I was really adamant about contraception. After researching about pills, i figured as long as i didnt get acne breakouts, gain weight or get hairy, it was perfect. Boy, was  I wrong! I was completely depressed, anxious and stressed the entire time, my libido was almost non-existent and i started to get cyctic acne on my face... you can imagine how all of this would affect newlyweds!! It wasnt until i had a major breakdown a month ago that I knew i had to get off Levlen ASAP! I'm now on Femme Tab and its working fine, just waiting to see how my hormones will react!"


"I have stomach issues and within the first week I had worse stomach cramps and pain and throat gurgles. It made my symptoms worse."


"I am 63 and have had CPTSD all my life.

Prazosin has helped a lot.

BUT it's been rocky.

The first dose I took felt like a miracle.  I was serene and amazed.

But then my nervous system got confused.  Used to the constant fight stimulus.

I would get wired taking it before sleep.  Took it during the day which helped.

WHAT I experienced felt like when one's arm goes numb and then circulation returns.  My whole body felt like it was coming alive again.  It hurt but I knew it was good.  My digestion worked better.  (makes sense) I had insomnia about 3 nights a week.

After 2 months I'm so so much better - hardly any hypervigilance, less nightmares.

So decrease the dose if you need to and gradually build it up if you have the problems I had."


"Amazing pill. I took Yasmin for 5 years with no side effects except low libido which is why I eventually switched pills. Overall light short cramp free periods. Worked great for me, no PMS at all. And best part is I never got pregnant, very good. When I wanted to get pregnant I was only off Yasmin for 1 month before conceiving my son. All in all it was a great pill."


"I loved this birth control. I suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome. On this birth control I lost 60 pounds, and I probably would have continued losing the weight I gained from the syndrome if I didn't stop. Unfortunately, insurances don't like covering this, which is why I had to stop taking it, as I couldn't afford it. I hate the new pill I'm on, and might switch up again. This patch didn't make me depressed (like the pill does), I lost acne quickly, and my hair lessened in growth. The only thing I hated is after you take off the patch you have the square mark from it on you for a couple weeks. I recommend 100%!"


"I had lamenectomy surgery in 2003 which was about 40% effective. I still have constant sharp pain in my left testicle, recurring burning pain in my left calf and lower back pain. For years after surgery I have had acupuncture, chiropractic care, physical therapy and medications. I have taken methadone, morphine and oxycodone for 4 years. Now I have been taking Lyrica for a year. For the first 6-7 months it was like a wonder drug. It worked as well as anything else aside from dry mouth, weight gain and blurred vision. Now it's not working so well. An MRI showed I have many broad based disc bulges, spondyliosis, stenosis and arthritis. Now looking at a fusion surgery. Lyrica has worked for me however it seems to be less effective than when I began taking it."


"I've taken Zoloft. Made me feel spacy and disconnected. Took Celexa and it pooped out on me and made me extremely drowsy and fatigued no matter what time of day I took it. Added Wellbutrin to combat the energy and motivational issues. Turned me into a bipolar irritable basket case. Stopped taking Wellbutrin after 3 weeks and titrating off the Celexa and starting Viibryd. It may be expensive. On day 2 the sexual dysfunction I experienced with all 3 other medicines had disappeared. Dare I say it my libido was through the roof. Borderline nymphomaniac. And I have yet to feel the drowsiness that people are speaking of. Granted it's now day 4 and I'm already taking it at night."


"Sprintec was the first birth control that I started taking when I was 17. I immediately got cystic  back acne (like really bad) a month after taking it. I didn't think anything of it, so I just continued to take it and I thought that the  back acne was a new thing for me. Sprintec gave me my boobs, I had nothing before and I am now a 36c. Though, I have also gained about 30 pounds since I started taking this four years ago (most of the weight gain I contribute to my laziness and poor eating and just growing). Four years later, my cystic acne is still horrible, I have scars like crazy on my back. Recently, I have been feeling not depressed but not happy and I started spotting like every day. I just switched over to Tri-Sprintec to hopefully help."


"My father who has a neurological disorder was taking ambien and my family had 2 terrifying experiences. The first time my dad got up and fell several times and was completly unresponsive, he could not speak and we had thought that he had a stroke. Next time he took it I woke up in the middle of the night to a  huge bang finding him in the kitchen with a gash on his forehead. The even scarier thing is he never recalled any of these things. I'm not sure on the dosage but I don't recommend to anyone!"


"So this is my 2nd time I am on phen 37.5mg, once a day.

1st time was in 2014 went from 280 to 200 but got pregnant after,

now I started try #2 on September 2016 weighing in at 290 lbs =( so far I feel energize and well. my goal is to reach 150 =O yea that's a huge difference but I know I will make it. will be checking in monthly so I can tell you whats been going on!"


"I hear a lot about buying viagra and other medications outside the United States and I can only tell from personal experience that it all works well. I get the pills for my dude from outside United states for quite some time now and do not encounter any problems.
It's just big pharma don't want you to buy at their source countries. YES - big pharma is producing in India and other third world countries, brings it to the US and all in a sudden it is so valuable and of high quality. Think again."


"I like the Nuvigil. My mother takes the Provigil and it works very good for her.  My first day on Nuvigil I was awake and able to make it through the whole day without sleeping, no tiredness in my body or mind.  After about a week I find I am in more control of when I want to sleep.  I have no side effects at all. At first I took it with food then I tried without food I think with food is better because I guess it is absorbed slower.  It is easy to take and I am more productive."


"This drug has a myriad of side effects mostly headache, lethargy and insomnia"


"Hello, I just want to say this medicine is really working, I have always had problems with my weight. I started taking this medicine 37.5mg on :October 12th and was 325 lbs and today I weigh 312 lbs!! Im 6 feet a tall girl and hope to lose 100 lbs. Now I do not crave sweets and always water per day. Minimal side effects."


"Started my pen today at 0.6 I'm 33 years old and I stand 5"3 My weigh is 209lb. I haven't had any side effects which I'm so thankful for. My  appetite for today felt the same as any other day hopefully tomorrow I will feel the fullness everyone is talking about!!! My goal is to be 160lb hopefully this works well for me

Is there a special diet that goes with this?? I'm am a loss to what foods should be avoided?? "


"For years I've been waking-up up to 40 times at night. No issue falling asleep but would wake up constantly & remember my dreams extremely well. Often unpleasant. I was totally exhausted and had to face busy days as a working mum. I was sent to a neurologist, put on antidepressants, finally had a polysomnography showing I had an irregular REM sleep. For an unknow reason (still unknow until this day) I wake up for a few seconds and go back to sleep, constantly. Doctor put me on Hypovase which didn't make much difference. I've now been on Clonazepam for a few months (from 0.25mg to 1g now) It allows me to stay asleep deeply for up to 4-6 hours on good days. It is not perfect but definitely helping. No side effects either. I feel much better."


"I am 25 and began taking Cryselle for birth control. I've had oily skin and moderate acne since puberty. I've been using topical medicines to treat my acne for two years.

The first month taking Cryselle, I broke out horribly the week of my period. We're talking the worst pimples I've ever had- the kind that throb when you bend over.

The second month, I had no break out. I have not had a single blemish in the past 4 months of taking Cryselle. Mood swings are mild to unnoticeable.

Even though there may be lots of ladies with bad experiences with this birth control, don't be afraid to try it. Cryselle has turned out to be very good for me and cleared my skin. Just be patient, give it at least 2 months before quitting."


"Started taking contrave seven months ago and have lost 103 lbs with little to no side effects. I use an app" my fitness pal" to keep track of calories. I'm 37 male"


"I'm getting married in 3 months and did not want to get pregnant before the wedding. Usually I do family planning for birth control and that has worked out great. But me and my fiancé have been having unprotected sex a lot so I decided to go on the pill until the wedding. I started Sunday and it has been a NIGHTMARE! I started crying about the smallest things, which is so abnormal for me. I have never been the emotional type. This began on Day 3. By day 5, I was truly depressed and yelling at my fiancé because he fell asleep before I made it back from the store to help me with my bags. Day 6 is when I came to the realization and started reading about the side effects. For such a small pill, it does a lot of damage. Please do not take this."


"I have to take daily opiates due to chronic back pain despite three back surgeries, including lumbar fusion. I tried everything but always would ultimately get backed up. I tried Movantik at one point a couple years ago, but it gave me bad stomach cramps, so I quit. At that time, I had some partial impaction.  I recently did a magnesium citrate flush, like prepping for a colonoscopy. I then tried Movatik again and have a bowel movement within an hour or so. I do get some stomach cramps but only for 1-2 hours. Taking 1-2 doses of Miralax a day can help if stool is hard. The big negative is cost."


"I love, love, love Mirena. I had my first one put in when I was 21 due to debilitating periods, and I hadn't had any kids. Not going to lie - the pain was truly horrible upon insertion, and I did cramp for weeks afterwards, but after that cleared up 5 years of no periods changed my life. I just had my second one put in yesterday and it was nowhere near as traumatic as the first time since my hormones had leveled out. I HIGHLY recommend it for women who don't want/can't take high estrogen birth control or would like to stop their periods safely. It's been absolutely life-changing for me, and I hope Mirena and other IUD's continue to gain popularity as people see how great they really can be."


"If i could give this any less than 1 star i would. I usually take yaz for birth control reasons and because I have pretty bad acne. My Dr prescribed me yaz, yet after trying the other generic Lornya and telling them I don't want any more generics I got stuck with this. Figured I'd try it anyway and let me tell you the last time my skin was this bad I had an allergic reaction to a face wash and was one big puss pimple. On top of that, I ended up getting multiple little cysts in my ovaries because they were trying to form eggs, causing a lot of pain and a high doctor bill trying to figure out the problem with tests and my periods are usually early and I'm in pain. Needless to say I gave up, & next week I start the real yaz again and I can't wait"


"Got this for ADD and my chronic fatigue.

It changed me. Grades in school went from 60s-80s, I could actually focus long enough to plan my life and pay attention. Only problem I had was the tolerance, although my dosage was raised and now I can take it regularly without feeling it, it made it really hard to sleep if I took it to late, and if the dosage is too high, or you are just starting, you get a really unpleasant buzz. Even though that buzz makes you super motivated and lets you get stuff done, it makes it really hard to relax and makes you more prone to panic attacks."


"This shot has caused numbing of my writing arm, I am chronically fatigued. All I want to do is sleep. My appetite is enraged and I am having to be very careful about what I eat as I have already gained six pounds; I am worried that the fatigue is permanent as other women I have come across have permanent chronic fatigue. "


"Works well."


"I am in my 2nd month of taking xeloda after going through 36 rounds of chemotherapy since 2013. My intake of xeloda is 3 pills every twelve hours for 7 days and off 7 days.
 The side effect I am experiencing is the discoloration of the inside of my hands and the bottom of my feet, they also tingle and are painful at times. I am often tired and have also had pain in my shoulder and chest. I don't know if this medicine will keep the cancer from coming back, but I'd rather deal with these side effects than the chemo."


"This medication has changed my life. It's been a miracle drug for me after cycling through different meds for the last 3 years, trying to find what worked. I've powered through the nausea and vomiting and diarrhea for the last two months. Unfortunately I'm at a point that I am not sure I want to continue the medication due to the nausea. Beside that, I haven't experienced any other side effects."


"This is the greatest thing that's happened in my life in the last year.
I used to have to use my Ventlin inhaler 3/4 times a day. I have not used it since I started Symbicort! My last doctor wouldn't even let me try it. Glad I changed doctors. I can go up and down stairs without stopping trying to breath. My child even noticed the difference."


"My son was having severe motor and vocal tics (30 per minute). It was horribly scary for us all.  He already had been diagnosed with ADHD and was taking guanfacine. Upping the guanfacine dose did not help so they prescribed clonidine for the tics. At first it seemed not to work at all although it did help him sleep because he could not sleep due to the tics. But the MD upped the dose and we waited for the meds to kick in (can take 2-4 weeks!) His tics have almost completely stopped! He is back in school and back to a normal life thanks to God and clonidine. I recommend giving this medicine time to work.  ALSO, it still makes him very sleepy for about 2-3 hours after each dose. We manage this by dosing him at times when he could sleep after."


"I got psoriasis when I was about 14 years old, rapidly spreading from my right knee to both my elbows and my scalp which was very disruptive to my confidence as a kid about to start high school, started off with a few oral drugs which barely worked, started enbryll at 17 and it worked for about 1-2 years before I started to notice my psoriasis coming back. I started humira when I was around 18-19 and am still on it now as I am 22 years old and have not had a single side effect from either biologic. It does keep me up at night from time to time thinking I'll need it for the rest of my life or looking at any nasty side effects but considering I haven't experienced even any common ones I tell myself to relax and appreciate how normal I feel."


"First two days taking 50mg. First day taking I took relatively earlier so it would have time to kick in, without leaving me groggy, I felt it within a hour, and it increased by libido!! After two hours the drowsiness wore off, however I felt great and took a third of another to boost me back in a sedated sleep.  Normally I have extremely long lasting visual dreams, but I never felt energized like I've slept. This first morning I couldn't recall having a single dream and woke up relatively early, sleeping 8 hours. My side effects were feeling lightly hungover and numb until standing.  Yes I couldn't breath out of my nose and yes my mouth became dry no matter the amount of water. 2nd night bad headache no sleep. Will try 25mg tomorrow. Not looking promising"


"My first and second dose made me very sick n nausea. I don't know if I'll feel the same on my 3rd dose. I almost gave up but I'm on my 3rd dose."


"Hello I am 59 year old women who has psoriatic arthritis for over 7 years now. I was on remecade and decided to try something else so my RMD put me on stelara. So here's the thing although my psoriasis cleared up my arthritis is bad I've only been on it for 2 months so I am giving it more of a chance. Anyone else here have arthritis and on stelara? Thoughts please and thank you"


"I noticed a great improvement in my depression soon after introducing Brintellix to my other meds (latuda, Lamictal, xanax, doxepin, adderall) I also noticed it causes me nausea and vomiting! But I really like this one...hate that it makes me sick! Someone recommended putting it in peanut butter and I think I'll try that because it works really well for me! I've taken my son out like everyday, I couldn't be a "good" mom before brintellix! Like seriously have never felt better! Vomiting sucks tho, I hate it... really hope peanut butter trick works!"


"I am subject to relatively frequent gout flare up, every 2-3 months or so. At the first symptoms I take one 0.5 mg of colchicine every three hours and most of the time after 2-3 pills the pain is gone. I also take 1-2 pills of imodium to avoid the diarrhea.It works fine for me"


"Best medicine ever. I've had hyperhidrosis for years, finally started using Hypercare for a little over a month now, and NO SWEATING! No armpit stains in ANY of my clothes anymore! As long as I use it twice or so a week at night, I'm sweat free. Although, I do still use deodorant, otherwise I will smell sweaty. And I also itch my armpits almost daily, but the itchiness is totally worth it!"


"I have been on this pill for probably about 4-5 years.  My experience has been overall pretty pleasant.  I never noticed it affecting my mood or behavior and I have never felt depressed due to the pill.  I also never gained any weight or experienced acne.  My periods last about 4 days, previously before using the pill they lasted much longer.  I usually experience cramps and bloating the day before and the day I get my period.  My cramps have always been pretty bad even before I began using birth control, so I don't think it is caused by the pill.  I do recommend this pill for people who are looking to use it as a form of birth control and a way to regulate the menstrual cycle.  Unfortunately I must switch pills due to insurance coverage."


"Patience, patience, patience! I have been using this product for 14 weeks. The first two months were awful. Had tiny little white heads ALL over my face. Add my cystic acne into the mix, and you can imagine how upset I was. I honestly felt like stopping this product, but decided that I'd tried it for 2 months and wanted my skin to get used to a routine. I AM SO GLAD I WAITED IT OUT! I currently only have one, YES ONE active pimple on my jawline. I have suffered from acne since I was 22. I'll be 27 in a few months so this is honestly a miracle for me. Don't give up, guys. It took me 14 weeks to finally see clear, beautiful skin again!"


"This medication saved my life. I'm 21 years old and suffered a SEVERE allergic reaction (Angioedema) from a medication. My lips swelled up three times their size and my eyes swelled shut and I couldn't see. I also couldn't breathe. I was rushed to the ER and the doctors gave me this medication, Prednisone, in the IV. All my swelling immediately went away and my breathing returned to normal. I was prescribed 10 mg of it for that next week and it kept my inflammation away and my allergic reaction under control. Make sure to follow the taper-off schedule that comes with it."


"Do get a small headache for the first 12 hours and a little muscle soreness, but a small price to pay for the great benefit of the pill. Wish I had discovered it earlier."


"
Most insurance companies won't pay for this drug since its a diet pill.

I agree with everyone about it helping to control your appetite and help you "maintain" after you are done with the medication.  This is an addicting drug, so you don't want to be on it for long.

I lost 35 lbs, it took me a year, but I am able to maintain now. I weigh myself every other day and if I gain a few, I watch myself for the next few days.  FYI, I didn't really exercise either.

Just my thoughts.  Good luck to you all!!!"


" I just used the three day pack of monistat for the first time, right after inserting the cream I felt like everything down there was on fire!!! I sat with it for about thirty minutes hoping the pain would subside, I ended up pushing the cream out and wiping away all traces of it, while wiping I noticed some blood. I'm really scared that it was a really really bad allergic reaction. Still burning and red down there!!!!! help!"


"I lost 10 pounds in one month w this. not only that, I work ALOT and this is what keeps me going. I take one in the morning first thing then lay in bed and in about 5 min I feel ready to get up instead of wanting to stay in bed all day. and it's definately cheaper than going to the weight loss clinic every month!"


"I have never been diagnosed with add or adhd but was having trouble concentrating. I approached my doctor and he prescribed this drug. It worked perfectly. I no longer have problems paying attention and am doing extremely well in school. My inattention did not return after I stopped this medication."


"55 year old male. I've always led a vigorous lifestyle of skiing, biking, kayaking. In the last several years I have had 4 broken ribs, and then earlier this year I broke my right clavicle and then left femur from a fall from a latter. I don't know if its working or not ( No follow up screening yet). My initial T score was -3.9 in the lower lumbar region with various values to -2.9. I have experienced bruising at the injection site, skeletal pain, various stomach issues including constipation, diarrhea, but the latest and worse side affect is a ridged pain in my stomach wall."


"The drug store really pushed the high dose for anyone over 65.  My husband had a severe reaction 1 hour after the vaccination.  He slumped over in his chair and was extremely hot.  He fainted although he did not lose consciousness.  We went to the doctor who told us they would not carry this high dose due to the side effects.  It is a live vaccine.  I would caution anyone about taking this."


"an amazing medicine .. i don't know how long i had had HCV.. i knew that i had it in september 2015 and began taking it in March 2016 ..now i'm only 6 days to finish the 12 weeks treatment and i had an amazing experience ..side effects that i experienced were slight headache after the 1st 10 days and then gone .. only the major one from my side was a hair falling which i am not sure that it is because of the medicine as i just gave birth to my second baby 5 months ago and stopped all vitamins to take the medicine .. so in an overview it is an amazing medicine .. i had the gynotype 1 and done pcr after 6 weeks from taking it and was not detected.. thanks God for knowing about the medicine in the correct time .."


"I started this medicine on April 1. Here is is almost June 1....no weight loss, nauseous constantly, very tired. Went from 0.6 the first week to 1.2 for a week then to 1.8. Pharmacist suggested going back to 1.2 as the 1.8 made me so nauseous. Have switched back and forth a couple times now. Cannot handle the 1.8 and work a full time job. Sugars showed excellent improvement the first two weeks, (97-115) now I'm lucky if I can stay under 160, even with nothing in my stomach. I was 211 yesterday morning after eating an egg. I'm 187 today after eating a half a cup of oatmeal. Also take 2000mg of metformin at night. (Previous medicines were Byetta and Avandimet) and I'm craving sugar."


"I got my first Nexplanon in 2013, for the first year and half no periods at all. Then all of a sudden i started getting them again. Sometimes every few months, sometimes for a month straight, but it doesnt really bother me. I do have mood swings occasionally. I'm tired a lot but other than that no issues. So i recently got my second one put in, although it hurt when the first one was taken out,and i have a nice size bruise; ive not had any issues yet. I have had weight gain but that just started a year ago and it could have been change of job (desk job now)  or im getting older and i just cant eat the same junk i use too."


"I have more acne as an adult then I had in my teenage years. I'm now 43 . Its all on the lower quarter of my face.. it is awful.  More like cystic acne. I can not take antibiotics for acne due to my health issues.  My dermatologist has tried it all. I find it very drying. And acne is not getting better. I've been on it a few months now and I've had it. I don't like anyone seeing me.  This isn't working for me. So disappointing"


"I have been on this drug for 2 months to help me with my acne. I have rosacea, and I still have a red face, however now I no longer have the acne along with it. I was prescribed to take this 100mg 2 times a day, and to take it 2 hours before and after eating (aka take it WITHOUT food).

So far, so good, but I know I cannot be on this forever since I am a woman and may be pregnant soon. I wonder what to follow up with to avoid the probem the woman above had."


"LOVE IT. I had the worst breakouts, so I got Epiduo. When I used it the first time it showed results the next day. I continue to use it and I almost don't have a single breakout and I've only been using it for a week. It also helps with redness and acne scars. I love my new skin and you will too."


"Made me sleepy and I didn't care about anything. However, I find that a small dosage combined with Wellbutrin XL 300 mg works great. They compliment each other as my doctor suggested."


"I started taking this pill for severe menstrual cramps  (I've had to take a lot of  ibuprofen daily to manage the pain) and to hopefully decrease the amount of clots I was passing (sorry...TMI...I know!) throughout my period which were very large, numerous, and painful. I am very pleased with the results.! After only one month the clotting and PMS symptoms have significantly decreased, the cramps are manageable, and I was able to function like a "normal" person at work on my cycle. I was apprehensive about Estarylla birth control of all of the bad reviews, but it has been a lifesaver for me! Sticking with this pill forever and ever! Amen!"


"No relief at all. No upset stomach or any other side effects."


"My daughter (6) was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri one month ago. She had a spinal tap done to relieve the pressure and was put on a very low dose of the medicine (125mg) twice a day. All seemed well for the first two weeks, and now we are back to the beginning with headaches, swelling of the face, blurred vision and unusual tiredness. She saw a neurologist yesterday who doubled her dose. Needless to say--today she was so tired that she took 2 naps! THIS NEVER HAPPENS! I am worried that these are all side effects of the medicine now. As much as I don't want her to undergo surgery for a shunt, I would rather that than have her not be able to function because of these symptoms!"


"Tried Ortho Tri Cyclene, I was so mentally and physically sick I had to stop on the 12th pill.  Have been on Lutera now for 4 1/2 months.  I've been in a chronic depression/anxiety for the past 2 months. The first 2 months were great.  I'm also on other meds so I'm not sure if this is the cause.  Also have lost a lot of hair :("


"I've been on Yaz for a year and a half. Before I was ever on birth control I was very calm and a very easy going person. Ever since I went on Yaz I've been overly moody and angry all the time. I've lost my interest in doing anything new and now my husband and I fight all the time. I also bleed irregularly and have constant random spotting. On top of that I developed gallstones and had to have my gall bladder removed. The only good thing that Yaz has done for me is prevent pregnancy. The only reason I haven't changed to a different birth control is because I have been overseas until a few weeks ago and the birth control I want was not available there. I have an appointment to change birth control this week."


"At 42 years old I noticed a definite increase in anxiety and in certain social situations, I felt like I "had to get out of there".  Especially with my church work which I dearly loved, playing piano, teaching Bible Class, etc.  Panic attacks ruled my life.  It got worse.  I couldn't take long car trips (60 miles), buy groceries.  Finally I couldn't leave the house and I was having one panic attack upon another every 15 min. I was a capable person, well educated (Masters Degree), and did well at most things I tried.  My husband took me to our family Doctor who promptly put me on Clonazepam 2 mg.  I was relieved immediately and 23 yrs later am greatful for this miracle I take daily for panic attacks."


"I've been up the ladder on pain meds., i have had chronic pain for 20 yrs.. I would just like to say oxycontin and hydrocodone is one and the same. however the mg.s is key. I am 5'7" and 140 lb.
and have found 10 mg am and 10 mg pm has had the most positive effect on me and I have tried percedan. as well as morphine, 30mg three times daily. vicodin and an array of others. the hydrocodone 10mg x daily has won hands down. I will add NO prescription will remove pain 100%"


"I tried citalopram a couple years ago, it helped.  Began at 20mg per day, which helped a bit. Eventually went to 40mg citalopram and 400mg Wellbutrin. It was so good to feel human again. "


"Last report was 10/29.  Been on saxenda 10 weeks - down 24lbs (goal is 28lbs), dose has stayed at 1.2.  Tried 1.8 for a day but felt nauseous. Before saxenda my cravings for bread, sweets and a glass of wine after work almost every day were awful.  Following my doctor's diet and using saxenda - cravings barely exist.  Only 1 glass of wine in 10 weeks and a few pieces of Halloween candy twice.  Before saxenda I would've finished the bag.  I use miralax every other day and feel a little more tired than usual, but no major problems.  A bit afraid of what happens when I reach my goal soon, but the saxenda experience with little to no cravings has really made me think about my behavior and the triggers that make me want to eat for no reason."


"Just recently was diagnosed with bipolar tapered off of paxil to try this oh my I was not myself much worse my mania went through the roof talking very fast spending money without thought impetuous thoughts needed to come off of it after a week"


"Made the cough go away, two days later and zero hours of sleep. Give me the cough all day. Honestly this things make you feel like your on drugs. If you are trying to achieve a legal high that you can buy at the store this is for you.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS THING"


"I am so grateful for Chantix. I have been on it for 5 months. I smoked for 29 years. I have been smoke free for 5 months. This is my 3rd time quitting and am so glad for this medicine. Never had any issues with this medicine. The only thing I had was weird dreams but that was it."


"This little pill is great if used rarely because I myself become very tolerant of Atarax if I use it for more than 2 days in a row if you are really stressed. Tense or suffer from anxiety I think it's the best because it's not real habit forming! The only downfall for me is even in the 25mg dose it causes quite the hangover or I should say a daze for about 5 to 8 hrs the next day but no extreme side effects - just really relaxed. "


"I lost medical coverage 1 1/2 years ago and had to quit my Sertraline. Remember folks, all of our chemistries are different, so different anti-depressants will work for some but not others-you have to keep searching for what works for you. I tried Prozac, Lithium and Wellbutrin-all made me feel worse. But Sertraline works for me. The only thing is, like many things, it loses its effect after prolonged use. So I am about to get back on it after almost 2 years of non-treatment. I am looking forward to the results again which will last 2-3 years then dry out again, and start again. Another vicious cycle included in depression ..."


"I am 54 years old and I suddenly came down with shingles on my right side of shoulder and back. When I took the Valtrex after 30 minutes I felt sudden relief. It didn't take away the pain but in combination with the Percocet I was able to live, not survive. Shingles are very painful and I don't know what I would have done without Valtrex. I would recommend it to anyone suffering from a viral."


"Edex began to work this first time in about 5 minutes. I took 10 mg and it produced the best erection I could manage with a pump, with sildinafil, or any other way. Adding 10 mg more within 20 minutes improved the rigidity a bit, but the overall erection was probably at 80% of in my youth. I feel no burning, but I do feel what feels like a pressure in my prostate. I just got a TURP and still feel the effects of that surgery a bit, since it has been 6 weeks ago. This may just be what happens with my initial dose. If 20 mg doesn't work, I'll try doubling that. 20 mg would probably suffice for insertion during sex, but I doubt if if would feel good for me or her."


"I had the skyla inserted after my mirena fell out after a year. I personally like the skyla and as pp stated take a pain reliver before going I took something and still felt pain but not as bad. I've also noticed that I'm full quicker so I'm eating a lot less. The only thing that I don't like is that I've been seeming to have a little more depression not sure of this is a side effect but I'm going to keep an eye on it"

"Effectiveness: Ok, this stuff really works. No cramping - just a liquid colon blow experience.

Tips: Chill the bottles . Hold your nose and drink it quickly to get it over with . Wish I had read about biting into lemons and using lemonade to flavor it. Drinking with a straw sounds like it worked for  many on here,  but I just chugged it . And lastly but most importantly, pat , don't wipe. Better yet, use moistened wipes!

The Bad News: Tastes so horrible and the thick texture is pure disgusting torture. I was nauseous for about an hour after drinking this vile stuff.

Hoping something new is invented before I need another screening!"


"I started the implant in May 2015, and it is one of the best choices I have ever made. I understand that it is different for everyone however my experience has been great. It has stopped all period pains and for the past 2 months has completely stopped any bleeding. I had no side effects such as headaches or irregular periods. Getting it injected isn't too painful and the bruising doesn't  last long. I would recommend it to anyone and it also means that you don't have to remember to take the pill or use condoms. Its great for some people so don't get too worried and just see if it works for you. If it does not, it can be taken out immediately."


"I have been on the patch for about 3 months now, I used to have severe headaches every day before starting Xulane. Now I rarely get them - only on my period. I also have not had any issues with the patch coming off, if anything it is hard to take off at the end of each week and actually quite painful! Also, the week before my period and during my period, I have intense mood swings and become extremely irritable and emotional. So, 2 weeks out of 4 in every month, I feel pretty terrible. I am considering stopping the patch completely, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage."


"My eye doctor tried me on Restasis for dry eyes the first time being about a year ago.  I didn't experience stinging as some have and thought it was going to do the job.  However, about a week into the treatment my eyes felt swollen.  I lifted my upper lids to see if anything looked wrong and my eyeball looked like it had hemorrhaged.  I took a picture so I could show my doctor and stopped the treatment.  About 6 months later we decided to try it again thinking maybe another medication I was using could have caused the Restasis to react that way.  But once again it did the same thing."


"I started Saxenda 4 days ago. Besides being tired a lot, I haven't experienced any other symptoms. I am a bit disappointed with my appetite, I have read many people saying they can't even bare the smell of food because they are put off. My appetite hasn't changed. I am still hungry all the time, which is why I chose Saxenda in the first place. I am still eating smaller though, because of the price I do not want to blow my money and eat large still. I am hoping when I increase to 1.2mg on Sunday that I will start to feel my appetite decrease.
I haven't lost weight yet either, but I acknowledge it is only 4 days, plus I haven't exercised this week. So I take responsibility for that.
Anyway, I still have hope. I will report back in next week :-)"


"I got the implant in June 2015. Here it is september 2015 and I have had TEN periods since the insertion! I have been gaining weight, and have bad mood swings. I also feel pain in my arm some days. I think I rather take the pill EVEYDAY then bleed all month except five days..."


"I took it 5 days after a condom  mishap, during my ovulation week 1/21. period was only a couple days late (2 days). I did not experience any dizziness or nausea when I took this pill."


"I've been on sertraline for about 6 months now and I have started to notice I am much more confident in social situations and outside the house.  I suffer with Bipolar 2 and anxiety and often won't leave the house because of this anxiety.  My social anxiety is much better on sertraline compared with other SSRIs.  It has made getting to sleep more difficult, but I tend to take the tablet mid-afternoon which helps.  It's had no effect on my trichotillomania and not a huge effect during my depressive periods.  The mood stabilizer lamotrigine has been a better antidepressant."


"I'm up to 3mg dose.. only lost 8 lbs in 2 months. I was very leary starting this medicine due to the thyroid and nausea issues, but I gave it a try.. it did not curb my cravings. It did make me full fast.. so instead of eating 2 sandwiches, I would only be able to force 1 down, but I don't think its worth it. My Dr says it takes 4 months to really kick in. Side effects were dry mouth, HORRIFIC FATIGUE, and confusion. nothing too major, but like any drug there is something. I would not recommend this drug as it is not a fast solution to weight loss and it is pretty discouraging if you want to lose more than 1 lb a week even with injecting yourself."

"This med is usually prescribed for anxiety but I'm taking it for post-surgical nerve pain. It is truly a miracle. I take a tiny dose of 0.25mg and it lasts for 14-18 hours! The only downside to it is that it can cause dependency & you eventually get used to it and have to increase the dosage. For that reason alone I don't take it every day although I'd love to."


"They work well. I like Valium better though, but this is pretty good too."


"I used to play ball and after finishing still ate like it was game time. Lost 46 pounds and still need to lose 30 more. This medicine has allowed me to change my relationship with food and beer. I now feel like my weight managed properly can get be back to a healthy weight. Good results few side effects."


"I started Belviq about 9 days ago. I found a savings card online on the belviq website that will save me approximately $140 each time I fill my prescription. I have experienced a significant mood lift (i can see why it's a controlled substance), subtle doziness, and better sleep. Sometimes I forget to eat because I just don't feel hungry. I feel the effects of not having eaten though, I feel tired, sluggish and my stomach hurts a little from being empty, but the terrible "hunger" feeling is completely missing. It's strange,  but extremely helpful. Overall I have lost 6 lbs in the last 9 days since I started Belviq, and it surely is helping with my appetite. I am very thankful. Belviq does exactly what it's supposed to."


"Just had it inserted today, and holy crap the pain. it was a 15/10 when she put it in. I came home and threw up from the pain. After napping with a heating pad i felt a million times better though. Even though the pain was awful, I'd do it again if it means not having to worry about BC for 3 years."


"So I have a yeast infection (duh)
I inserted the ovule and I was okay
30 minutes later the burning began
Evil
Not happy
Pain
Very intense weird itching burning sensation
I didn't take any pain medication because I knew it wouldn't help because of the type of pain.
This pain was terrible because it was very different that usual pain.
The only thing that helped was an ice pack, Seinfeld, and whiskey.
I know it's doing its job, but it's super annoying and painful"


"In April and then May of 2015 I began having heavy periods. In May I bled from the 5th to the 22nd, stopped for 2 days then started again on the 24th. After going to the doc I was told it was nearing its expiration date (had it since June 2010). Was finally able to have it removed in July  2015. A week or so later I began bleeding heavily. I passed clots that ranged in size from half dollars to tennis balls; one so large I had to look in toilet to make sure I hadn't just had a baby!! The clots have somewhat lessened but the bleeding is still heavy. I get dizzy, feel drained, and lose a lot of hair. Currently, I began bleeding on January 19th, today is February 21st and I'm still bleeding. I do not recommend the Mirena to anyone!"


"I have suffered from panic attacks for years and couldn't get by without it...I take it as needed. It works quickly and takes the edge off. I take the 0.5 mg."


"Savella gives an energy boost. My Pain Doctor has me on Cymbalta and Savella. I did question the Doctor about Serotonin Syndrome but She wasn't concerned. Several years ago, I stopped taking Cymbalta and the Brain Zaps lasted nine months. Then my depression returned and ended back on the Cymbalta. I don't think they mix well for me as I am extremely agitated and hostile and still depressed. I will be talking to my doctor about how to wean off Cymbalta and perhaps finding a different antidepressant.  Savella has helped with my pain but I do have a rapid heart beat and panic attacks. Plus, I suffer restless leg Syndrome and it is so painful. Can win for losing."


"22 yr old with horrible and frightening nocturnal panic attacks 2-3 hrs after falling asleep every night. Waking up in a confused state with vivid images making no sense, yet feeling a need to act on them before realizing the situation wasn't real. Researched on my own and discovered a definite correlation between ranitidine and panic attacks. Stopped taking Zantac 3 weeks ago and have not experienced a panic attack since. Feel like I was reborn. Ridiculous drug with far too many untold or unknown side effects. Stay away from this. After asking different psychiatrists, only half knew Zantac can cause or worsen panic/anxiety."


"I have been taking this a little over a year. I just recently went up to the highest dose. I like this medicine with the exception that the first dose makes me feel stoned and I get hungry. As long as I go straight to bed and not watch t.v. or talk to my kids I am ok. If I do anything other than go to bed I don't go to sleep. When I do go to sleep I don't even have to set an alarm I automatically wake up. I am still tired in the mornings and depending on work it can be worse at other times. I take Ritalin 2x during the day. My quality of life has improved to the point where I do not fall asleep while working, I don't race to get home to lay down, I don't take naps as much as I used to. I am still "tired" but functional."


"So far this medication's only flaws for me are, weight gain, and lack of ability to stay asleep which was a factor prior but seems to be enhanced. Well my doctor said those symptoms I'm experiencing are those of depression..and upped my dosage to 20mg. It's only been about a steady two months approx, a little less, and I feel better; I still feel anxiety which I would say comes with my depression but it doesn't bother me as much to go and be social as before."


"For the most part, my experience on this medication has been very positive. It makes me feel better, my skin has cleared up, and my hair and nails even look healthier. However, I have noticed some weight gain (10 lbs) or so and I cannot seem to lose it. However, compared to other medications this is one of the few I can tolerate."


"Fantastic at clearing the sinus infection. I'm on day 4 and it's almost completely gone. The first two days were miraculous.

But then. Starting day 3 ...

My stomach and intestines are rumbling almost constantly and I'm "pooping" brown water 5+ times a day.

I'm also utterly exhausted and weak, making it virtually impossible to actually do anything.

If this gets much worse, I'm going to have to stop using this before the 10-day course runs out."


"Started one week ago today. Only been hungry one day. Lost 3.2 lbs and 6.5 inches. More energy than I've had in years and overall happier. Look forward to continued success."


"I've been taking Calan for over 18 years and it is truly amazing.  I was having severe, life altering migrianes at least once a week, usually twice.  The migrianes stopped instantly the week I started using this medication.  If I miss a dose, the headace will come in about two days.  Great motivation to take the medication on a timely basis.  I highly recommend this treatment for migrianes."


"My only real problem with my bipolar disorder is my aggressiveness and this medicine like the other 13 I've been on does nothing for it."


"I took the recommended dosage of Delsym and it went in my mouth and set my throat on fire I have never felt pain like that I couldn't sleep at all I sat up all night crying I've never felt pain like that from a cough medicine or so-called cough medicine"


"I used this every single day for a year. In between visits to my podiatrist, once a week I filed the nails down (using a fresh emery board for each filing), rubbed the nail with alcohol, then applied the ciclopirox solution. It took a FULL year, but the fungus seems to be gone. This was my second bout with toenail fungus; the first time I took Lamisil by mouth, but it made me sick, so I had to stop."


"Mirtazapine has helped me on more than one occasion.  I've cycled through the gamut of antidepressants including but not limited to: Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, etc., but nothing really worked until Remeron.  Thought I was okay to stop all medicines a year ago and did fine for awhile but now feeling awful again; depressed and underweight.  Renewed my script today and taking my first dose of R.E.M.eron tonight.  Bring on the munchies!  I just love a donut."


"I get recurrent urine infections as I can't empty my bladder fully so I often need to go on antibiotics for this and I always used to end up needing fluconazole. Which always works better than creams or pessaries for me. I have found that taking OTC probiotic tablets has helped stave off the antibiotic related thrush infections and I think prevention is a good way to manage this. I also avoid taking the probiotic drinks because they seem to contain a lot of sugar which just makes the thrush worse."


"I take Lyrica for Fibromyalgia pain but have to keep the dosage low to manage the side effects. I used to take Tramadol also but it never helped so my PM switched me to Belbuca. I've never been on opioids for my Fibromyalgia before. I was started out with 75 mcg 2x daily. The first 2 weeks were great and then it didn't seem to help. (Not the first time I've experienced that before). Then my Dr. increased it to 150 mcg 2x daily. It's been about 1-1 1/2 months and it's losing effectiveness again so I probably need to increase. I'm scared because I have read this is still an opioid and can cause addiction which I've experienced during a delay in refill. I'm worried about long term effects but on good days I can spend more time with family."


"It really worked very well. I had silent reflux disease, I feel better now. I took Ranitidine 150 mg every night, NOT twice a day as prescribed. One tablet before bedtime has done wonders."


"I have a case of gastroparesis and it stopped me from going a lot of places and hanging out with my friends. It helps with the mild nausea really, really well, but when it gets severe, lets just say, its useless! That's the reason why I gave it an 8 because when its severe that's when I really need it."


"I had been using the implant for 5 years as it was much easier than taking a pill and was known to be effective. In the first year of using this I had no period whatsoever and thought this was great! However for the remaining 4 years of using this I suffered with constantly bleeding. It was not always heavy but there was rarely ever a day when I was not spotting or could not wear a pad. This proved very difficult with dating and relationships as I was never off my period and sex was pretty much always off the cards. The Implant caused me to suffer with the most crippling depression and anxiety and I had counselling for this (all gone now since its removal)? a weight gain of 50 pounds or more which would never budge. Please don't get this!!"


"Dr just put me on 20 2x a day with 1 mg Ativan PRN.  I was on Zanex 1 mg 2x a day I have been through the worst thing a parent can go through losing a child  12 years ago she was 8 then I'm a widow now lost my husband 5 years ago he was 41. I  see a psychiatrist huh nothing mends a broken heart but I will keep trying what the Dr keeps putting me on"


"Within the 1st week I went from a happy optimistic girl, to a very unhappy, unstable individual. My experience: crying for no reason, complete misery, severe weight gain, anti-social, exhausted, nauseous, dry eyes, high anxiety, NO sex drive, painful sex, cramping, bloating, irrational behavior..."


"Love it, Love it, Love it. I was on it 5 years ago and could tell within 2 days such a major change in my mood and motivation. I went off it it when I became pregnant with baby #1 - 5 years later I felt I needed it again, I didn't feel "depressed" but I knew I could feel better. I went back on Wellbutrin 150mg once a day and again by day 2 I was feeling amazing - totally can focus better and just love life again."


"I took this since I am not on birth control yet and just recently had my baby (5 weeks ago). This pill has way worse side effects than Plan B. This pill has me
Emotional crying within minutes and gave me a migraine minutes after that and a few hours later I woke up with extreme cramping in my lower back and abdomen for hours I was up in pain. I would never take this again."


"ParaGard works great for me! I've had it for about 8 months now and no problems!! I would highly recommend for those of you who don't want to deal with annoying hormone treatments!"


"Hi, I'm 24 years old, healthy, and known for my fitness regime. I've been taking Yaz for three weeks now and it is horrible. I have a history of mental health issues and this medicine made me severely depressed and suicidal. I lost all interest in my activities and it is hard for me to talk to people anymore. I also gained a little weight, got hives, and regularly have stomach pains now. I'm not sure if I should continue with this medicine. I'm going to talk to my doctor. But, I know medicine doesn't necessarily work the same for everyone, so I wanted to share my experience. Talk to your doctor about the risks before taking Yaz."


"I'm 19 I've been on depo for 3 years and I LOVE it I didn't have periods , skin problems or hair loss my only problem is I have slight cramps here and there but nothing major but I've recently missed my shot and I feel crazy idk what it is but my period came back immediately "


"I have suffered from bipolar disorder for more than ten years but only recently sought help for it because it was getting way out of hand. I was put on a few different medications in the beginning, including Wellbutrin and Risperidone. Those eventually made things worse so I opted out of that treatment, and was prescribed Lamictal.

It took about a month to fully kick in, but I have noticed a huge difference in my mental state. I have not had a major depressive episode since starting treatment. I have not gone manic yet. For the first time in many years, I feel normal; I get happy when good things happen and sad when bad things happen. My feelings are not influenced by my illness anymore (at least not yet). Thanks, Lamictal!"


"I got my first Implanon in March 2006 and just had my second done in March 2009.  This birth control is my freedom.  I've read that some women have had bad side effects but reading those seem so foreign to me.  I did have random light spotting every three or four months (sometimes even longer) that would last from 3 days to 7 days.  I never buy tampons anymore.  I feel carefree and never notice the implant.  I'm a typically moody person that is quickly set off so I don't put the blame on the Implanon. I have noticed that after having the second one put in, my sex drive has gone down.  I find this quite frustrating because I really do enjoy being intimate with my partner. "


"Got my second shot today. It literally took away the urge to dr ink.  So far so good."


"I took AMOX/K CLAV 875-125 MG - It is the generic for AUGMENTIN it didn't start working until the 4th day, very slow working but the doctor did tell me it would work slow but it would be very affective and to make sure and take for all 10 days 12 hours apart, so I did. I did get the headaches but don't know if it was from lack of eating and lack of coffee. I did notice that my tastebuds were affected, which had never happened in the past, so I figured it would go away, it has now been 16 days since I started the medication and my test buds are getting better but things still taste like chalk, I'll wait for a couple of weeks see if taste buds get better but for now I eat enough not to be hungry."


"Put one drop of a plain natural tears formula in each eye.  I usually use Visine Tears.  The 1/2 oz. bottle is easier to hold and control the number of drops than with the 1 oz.  Next, pull down lower lid of each eye and apply 1/4 inch of a plain lubricant eye ointment.  I use Refresh P.M.  Do this first thing in the morning and last thing at night.  You will forget you have dry eyes!  Just remember in the morning to wipe off with a tissue any excess ointment under your eyes. Also, the slight blurriness after application lasts only a few seconds."


"I slept drove while taking this medication it ended up in a very bad situation."


"I'm so grateful I finally found this pill for my Endometriosis (stage 4) . I feel like I have my life back. It has allowed me, after 3 major surgeries & years of painful hormones, to remember what it feels like to *not* be in pain/discomfort all the time. I use Zenchent continuously in with the arm implant Nexplanon (implant alone wasn't enough). Between the 2 I do not have any bleeding, nor endo symptoms (mostly intestinal & ovarian when they're bad), nor any bad side effects - no tender breasts, decreased sex drive, acne breakouts, crazy mood swings, cramping, bloating, food cravings, weight gain, rage attacks (all of which I've experienced with other hormone regimens). I actually sleep better on this pill. Have hope that you can find the right endo management too!"


"I've been on trintellix now for over a month. I've been on many meds for depression and anxiety. This one seems to work quite a bit on depression, but not anxiety. I had a bit of nausea in the beginning, but started taking the pill before bed and that seemed to work for me. I did have some constipation issues that were actually quite painful, but it only last a few days. Overall this medication does work faster than most I've been on. I just wish it worked for my anxiety as well."


"Prednisone worked wonders on me. It took a few days to start working but once it did it was like night and day for my allergies. It totally kicked them out of my system. This was 5 years ago and I am still allergy free. I have recommended Prednisone to everyone."


"I'm 23 years old. I'm due for a 3rd shot the end of this month but I don't think I'm taking it. I've had severe headaches and backaches. My eyes hurt going outside so I have to wear sunglasses in winter!. I haven't had any periods just spotting now and then. I've gained a lot of weight well being on it because I seem to always be hungry. I have no sex drive what so ever. I'm extremely moody. I wouldn't recommend this shot to anyone. I've heard nothing but bad things about it since being on it. And I didn't know that this shot is also used for cancer patients too. I'm going to stop the shot because of the bone strength loss and possible infertility caused by this shot."


"Been on it for 3 months.  At first it was worse. The panick attacks and anxiety. Then it was like my brain flipped the switch. I feel so much better. Im 30 and started getting anxiety at 22. I never wanted meds.  Fought hard and tried everything natural.  Finally I gave in.  I'm so happy now. I am not afraid of my own shadow anymore.  I think I may have put on 3lbs from it, but as long as it stops there.  Or it could be all the cookies. Give it a try.  I'm not cured, but I NEVER want to go off Zoloft."


"side effects back pain, tiredness, bruiseing, hoursness & bleeding."


"Improved my ability to get to sleep but I stopped taking it because of strange side effects at night....nightmares, talking in my sleep, slugging the headboard of the bed, falling/diving out of bed during a fight dream, having conversations with my wife that I would have no memory of the next day.  Doctor decided to take me off Ambien today and try something else."


"Came down with a very high fever and the flu. I had chills off and on for two days, which culminated with some good ole' vomit. Doc at urgent care prescribed me this horrific, useless drug for the nausea. I have NEVER had a poor reaction to any drug, until now. Even with this drug, I felt extremely nauseous and had horrific headaches. I forced myself to throw up to relieve the dibilitating feeling and stopped taking this drug and voila. I hate this drug. Never again. The headaches it induced brought me to the brink of tears."


"I took this pill for 3 years.  I felt fine on it but my triglycerides went from 120 the year prior to taking it to 226 the following year.  The year after that it was 230 and then last year it was 240.  I tried to research reasons for triglycerides increasing and found that it could be birth control.  I got tested this year after being off the pill for 18 months and my triglycerides were 88.  I have to say that I believe it was Gianvi.  I'd keep an eye on this."


"My boyfriend and I had protected sex and the condom broke...we realized this after he came inside of me. I at the time was not on any form of bc in fact I was due to take my first birth control pill that day about an hour after the incident. ended up taking bc and plan b at the same time and it was a train wreck of 4 weeks but finally got my period today. I got every side effect in the book. Depression anxiety brown spotting breast tenderness bloated cramps for a few weeks bad painful acne breakout still getting acne.  You name it, I had it all. But worth it that I am not pregnant"


"Paregoric is a wonderful medication. Not sure if I have Crohn's disease or IBS but when having a flare it is the best thing I have found.
As a child I was given a medication with paregoric in it and it always worked and made me feel better.
I hate the fact that medications are so abused that the government feels the need to take it off the shelf.
I have not been able to get a prescription for more than 5 years."


"I was on TriNessa for 5 months and at first everything went well. I had no problems with it but after my 3rd month I started noticing really bad emotional changes. I started of being moody and then it went on to crying everyday at night. I got to the point where I was really depressed and didn't want to do anything. Oh and also my jaw would hurt a lot after taking the pill."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Much superior to warfarin."


"I have been on Sronyx for almost 2 years now and haven't had any issues! My cramps and periods length have lessened. The only thing I can think of is I got moodier after I started taking it during my periods."


"I'm Doing this because I was in the same position as many other people who have accidents while having sex..my case was the broken condom. I had sex on July 7 and took the Aftera pill after 25hrs from having sex. My only symptom from the pill was a late period. I was supposed top get my period on July12, and it didn't arrive, I was beginning to worry. I have it a wait, and here I am 4 days later, cramping and with my period(: don't worry too much, just let the pill do it's work. You will be okay(:"


"Today is my first day taking the shot. I feel nauseous weak and the place where they gave me the shot hurts and I took it @9 this morning and it's already 4pm. Is it normal to feel depressed or cry for no reason during pregnancy. I had a baby 4 years ago whom passed away due to a cervix being thin had her at 20 weeks and now I'm pregnant with my second child and I'm 16 weeks. I hope everything goes well and I stop feeling like this"


"I've been taking 10mg for 4 days now (today will be day 5) and I'm wondering if I can make it a full week like my doctor wants me to. The side effects have been horrible for me. I've been walking around like a nauseous zombie since day 1. Then there's the dizziness and headache that goes along with it. The only benefit I've experienced so far is weight loss, but that's not at all why I started taking this medication. Instead of the anxiety and depression I would normally feel, I feel no emotions. "


"Just started 2 pills in the am and two in the pm. No side effects besides dry mouth which is tolerable. I don't see people saying how great this med makes me feel. I feel lighter and have a bounce in my step. I'm finally showing a 5 lb loss on the scale and that excites me.  I wish less people had bad side effects because those reviews almost scared me from trying this med. I am glad I decided to try Contrave. Please keep in mind this is a long term solution to obesity so expecting overnight results is unrealistic. I plan to continue for a year at least. Good luck."


"Received Lemtrada as a study Patient and have gone over 10 years with no symptoms of my MS. The side effects of the treatment were minimal for me- fever, rash, headache for two weeks following the treatment. Hope this medication becomes available to more patients!!"


"I have started taken yasmin after reading reviews about how good it is for acne and PMS , and I had very frequent periods that I needed to regulate ,   but soon after taking the 1st tablet I had severe nausea that lasted all day , 3 days down the line I became very low in mood , I was very tearful , the slightest things would irritate me , I had never felt like this in ages, I was  taking accutane at the same time , so I attributed the low mood to accutane. Since I couldn't tolerate the severe nausea , I stopped taking yasmin and strangely my mood suddenly changed , I was no longer depressed or tearful and I was still on accutane. I think people react differently to medications , but I am sure yasmin wasn't the right OCP for me."


"I have been on a small amount of Methadone 5mg twice daily.  I can only go to the bathroom like 1 -2 times a week and then it's little hard balls.  I took Movantik 25mg 1 time and went within 1 hour that would have been ok, but then a few minutes later my stomach hurt I mean realty hurt I was in tears then I went again, well I have gone so much it is pure water now and I will not take this again, I would be scared to try the 12.5mg.  No withdrawal symptoms but the runs well the last time I had this that bad my kidneys were shutting down, so I fear for this, cannot eat or drink anything it runs right through me...be careful, I would try the lower amount first and see how that goes."


"After taking this for 3 days for a UTI  infection, my vision was so blurry I could hardly read. I called the doctor and he changed my medication and in a day the blurriness went away. I don't know if the medication works, but it scared me that my vision was going and stopped it right away."


"I have been on this for four months now and while it almost completely controls my a fib with 80 mgs twice a day I am extremely tired to the point that I have gained forty pounds since starting it because in the evening after pushing through my whole work day all I do is sit down and I am asleep immediately.  I  have tried asking dr for different medicine but he keeps saying it it NOT the medicine making me tired."


"I have major depression....was taking Prozac 40 mg a day and it just stopped working for me. I have started Effexor XR 150 mg twice a day with some sleeping pills at night....In such a short amount of time I feel so much better! Life changing better! Depression is horrible and all consuming and pray that every person trying to get help does....and at least for me I have found stimulants of any kind are not good....because the crash or comedown is more than I can handle with my underlying depression."


"I am a 49 year old female. I started Contrave in October 2016. I started this drug at 226 lbs, I'm 5'6. To date I have lost 31 pounds with minimal exercise. The first 4 weeks were rough, dizziness, feeling foggy, sleepless nights, when I did sleep I had crazy dreams, constipation, dry mouth. But at about week 5, the side effects seemed to diminish. I still have a dry mouth with makes me drink lots of water, but the other side effects are gone. This drug has really reduced my cravings. I LOVE sweets, but I now find I can pass on them. I also love wine and I find I can just drink a small glass or nothing at all. I fill up very quick when I eat a meal.  I have tried other weight loss drugs, this is the only one that has worked for me."


"In the past I did not take any form of birth control, due to the high hormone levels. I have recently had to be put on the Nora-Be for abnormal bleeding, unbelievable cramps and just all over debilitating monthly experiences. I have been on the "mini pill" for 2 months so far. First month period was still painful but only 2 days and not the full 7, there was very little clotting and I could still function in daily life. Not bed ridden with a heating pad or ingesting a whole bottle of pain killers. It is now month 2 and my cycle should of started 4 days ago. I'm not worried one bit that it hasn't!! LOL. I have had no headaches, no neck pain no discomfort at all. Can't really say if my weight loss is due to the pill or diet and exercise."


"After trying to commit suicide my psychiatrist put me on latuda  it has literally saved my life. I'm on 120 mg at night as well as seroquel trazodone pristiq and tegretol. I'm living life again !"


"This has been the best thing ever for anxiety. I have never been on an anxiety medicine, but my anxiety was getting uncontrollable so my doctor prescribed this. I was a little weary at first, but 3 weeks on this (300 mg/day) has truly changed my life! The little things I used to stress about, I no longer worry about and it also helps with sleep. Wouldn't recommend anything else!"


"Couldn't wait to write a review on this drug. I've been suffering with what I thought was sinus issues for the past 3 years, seen specialists and they also diagnosed me wrong. Felt extreme and chronic fatigue on a daily basis and was being signed off work for that, this was causing me depression and I was ready to start anti-depressants not long ago until a few weeks ago my eyes started burning upon waking up in the mornings, I went to see a GP and was prescribed 180mg of Telfast x1 a day and these have been absolute life savers, words can not describe how much better I am feeling. I have my life back & energy back. Only side effect was vivid dreams but they are tolerable. I'm now on these long term."


"I've been on this medication for a year and it seriously changed my life. I suffered from the worst anxiety attacks ever. I went to emergency room twice thinking I was having a pulmonary embolism. After taking this medication for 3 months I had never experienced anxiety. The only down fall is a few side effects such as, dry mouth, crazy dreams every night and my metabolism has slowed down. These side effects are worth it over the horrible feeling of not being able to function because I had such bad anxiety. Taking 50mg at bed time. Definitely recommend."


"I have had the Oxytrol patch on for only about 24 hours and understand that it takes between 24 and 48 hours to notice any improvement, so I have noticed no improvement yet. It does not stick well and I have had to put adhesive tape around the edges of the patch to keep it on.   I don't know if I picked a bad spot (middle of my stomach) but certain ways it turn, it seems to pinch.  I used nicotine patches years ago and it seems that if these patches were smaller and less rigid, they might adhere a little better.  I like the idea of a patch lasting 3-4 days, but I would prefer using one smaller patch a day if they stuck to the skin better."


"Diagnosed with PCOS in March of 17 after years of up and down.  I'm 5'7" weighed 230 all through high school.  Lost 40 lb year with no carbs. Lost another 40 eating nothing on 3rd shift. Bam pregnancy at 18. 2007 9lb 11 oz baby and weighed in at 278lb. Over 6 years, I got myself down to 200lb again.  Kept it off for a while, got married. Lapse on birth control and bam pregnant again. 2016 2nd baby 7lb 9oz weighed in at 260lb. Over the next 9 months no matter what I did to lose the weight it just kept stacking on.  March of 2017, weighing 316lb... tests.  PCOS.  metformin,  lost 10.  spironolactone due to extreme water retention. Lost another 6lb. 6 weeks ago I was put on belviq and I'm down 24 lbs so far.  40 total in about 8 months. 100 to go."


"For over 10 years my doctor had no clue what was wrong with me. So he just kept telling me to take birth control to regulate. I was finally diagnosed with PCOS about 2 years ago and was prescribed Metformin. It has helped so much. I did have a few side effects for about the first few weeks. Nausea and tiredness mainly, but it wasn't that bad. I feel better and I have lost quite a bit of weight."


"My experience  was that this was the only medicine that helped severe pelvic pain. I started on low dose but had to take two. Two months in my doctor agreed to raise the dose to 10mg/325 ....... I was worried about the amount of tylenol. Long story short had hysterectomy few months later. Took 2 months to wean myself off by tapering. Total I was on percocet 7 months."

"I Used to be on Trinessa, but my pharmacy switched me to Triprintec because they were no longer carrying Trinessa. At first, it was horrible. I had extreme depression and mood swings, migraines, nausea, fainted once, and it caused irregular heart beats. I've been on it for 3 years now and the only symptoms I have are migraines and nausea. The nausea can be extreme some times. The only good thing I can say about the medication is that I have not been pregnant and have had no problems with acne. "


"I started taking Subutex in 2008 after a ten year battle with opioid addiction. Before that I tried methadone, rehab, AA, NA, " Marijuana maintenance  Program", white knuckling it, and tapering on my own. Nothing I tried worked, until I was at yet another bottom my grandmother drove me to a doctor she knows, and I've been sober ever since. The point I would like to make is that the 1st year and a half I was clean, but miserable. The thing that has changed is that I've gotten into a 12 step program with A.A. and now instead of just being clean and sober, I'm happy and recovering. Anyone who takes this route of getting there lives back together, therapy and Rx works, but only for a while. When that doesn't work, try A.A. GOOD LUCK."


"I was diagnosed with RRMS in Nov 2008 (age 16). I started out with Rebif and took that for a 2 years. I found that to be too painful so I stopped taking and medication all together. In May 2012 I tried gilenya, I was on that for about 4 months in which I had 5 relapses in those 4 months. My neuro decided to have me try Tysabri. I have been on it for 3 years and next month it will be 3 years since I have had a relapse. I do feel tired and dizzy when it is hot out though."


"Was very pleased to see that Qsymia is now available in certified retail pharmacies.  Go to website and enter your zip code to find one near your house, it was Walgreens for me.  Also there are new savings offers on the website.  So far, very good weight loss.  Very pleased with Qsymia."


"Diagnosed 20  years ago with bipolar 1.  Struggled for years to try and manage depression with Paxil and anti anxiety meds.  The ups and downs were absolutely wearing me out!  Finally, Latuda was advised by my therapist for my psych to prescribe.  8 days in and I feel almost normal!  I say "almost" since there is that little uncertainty with any new medicine that it will have staying power.  So far, so good!"


"My fifteen year old son has had behavioral problems since he was a toddler, he was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of five through very specific testing by a psychologist who specialized in ADHD. I was not going to put my son on medication because his teachers thought he was "hyper", there is a difference. He has been on every ADHD medication on earth with different side effects. None of them were as effective as finding Focalin XR. If a medication is not working or causing negative side effects on your child, do not give up! Sometimes you need to try a different combination of medications. My son did not start doing emotionally better and stabilized on his medication until he was twelve. I would not give up. Help is out there!"


"I had unprotected sex with my partner and he finished in me. I was freaked out. I immediately got my birth control the next day and began taking it. I had stopped taking it for some months because during the time I was not sexually active. Because its been so long since I've taken it it made me a little sick. My body was not immune to the hormones anymore. I got parranoid and thought I was pregnant and got my partner to go get the morning after pill. I actually took it later than the box said. My dumbass thought it was within 5 days so I took it on the 4th day. A week later my period started. I'm going to take a pregnancy test to be double sure though once my period goes off. I think it worked."


"I was suffering from major depression and anxiety disorder. I had adverse reactions to Zoloft and Trazodone so I was beginning to believe there was no hope. I could not function and the anxiety disorder caused high blood pressure, anorexia and absolute dysfunction of my life. I couldn't go for more than a few hours without xanax. Then my doctor put me on Lexapro. I began taking  5mg a day on 3/1/2017. After 11 days a miracle occurred, I woke up with a positive attitude for the 1st time in ages and each day has been even better. There is hope.  Side effects for me was morning fatigue so will switch to taking at bedtime. My blood pressure was 107/66 today at my doctor appointment. I don't even need the xanax and I am hungry for once."


"Citalopram calms my mind and body.
Without it I am very aggressive and too active sexually.
Without it I feel as if my testosterone levels were too high.
My wife and I have notice that even my testicles are bigger without Citalopram and that there seems to be a higher blood flow to my penis; it was the experience of a constant state of arousal. Psychologically, without it, I experienced lots of anger, aggressivity, sexual energy, and just a general out of control level of mental energy.
We have both concluded that somehow Citalopram reduces my testosterone levels.
And, let me tell you, I'm happy about it.
I rather feel calm and centered than aggressive, angry, and freaking horny all the time.
So, Citalopram is vital in my life."


"I have only been using it a week. But it has made my age spots DARKER!!. Not sure if I should keep using it or not."


"The ONLY motion sickness pill I have ever taken that works without side effects.  I love this product, however, I don't understand why I can't seem to find any to buy. "


"This was the second birth control prescribed to be after I had the nexplanon (very much disliked it). After 3 months of taking it I had to stop. I never have had anxiety in my life until this pill. It was to the point where it was hard to sleep. Decrease in sex drive. And huge migraines. The only reason I give it 3 stars is due to how light and short my periods were. Other than that, no good for me!!"


"My experience has been horrible... I feel like throwing up all the time. The worse part is just the feeling of it. Also, my boobs are sore and my body aches. I feel super blooded and I actually look blooded. I guess, this pill reacts in different ways for different people; however for me has been a horrible experience. Some of the symptoms I have experience are: Calf Cramps, headache, continuous nauseas,  body ache as if I was getting the flue, headaches...."


"My overall experience with this birth control was terrible. I had a false pregnancy and was moody and over emotional. The only 2 things good about this pill was it did keep my skin clear and my periods were very light. But with the weight gain/false pregnancy thing my obgyn said the hormones in this pill were too high for my system. She switched me to an ultra low dose and the bloating was gone in no time."


"Afton works very well, however the last 3 or 4 bottles of the spray the I purchased over a year started smelling like mildew after a month or so. What is causing this? The expiration date on the container is 2 years away."


"I started the 15 day trial about a week and half ago and I have lost 5 pounds.  I was already taking a different prescribed medication and I lost 30 pounds.  I wanted to try this to see how it worked. I changed my eating habits drastically months ago and I ride a bike 4 days a week. My appetite doesn't seem any different with this pill and my energy is just like it was before hand.  But another 5 pounds off works for me."

"3rd colonoscopy, first with this prep.  I was excited not to have to force down the large volume of the traditional and discussing prep fluid.  That's where my satisfaction ended.  In short, it didn't do the job and left me bloated and cramping for days.  3 weeks after the procedure I was still not feeling myself.  I have learned from others this is a common experience.  Do not recommend!"


"Adderall makes me always want to smoke cigarettes to relax and not shake so much. I have a love hate for it I love it but I hate that I have to depend on it everyday to do my daily tasks."


"I had mirena right after my 2nd child in 2009. Insertion wasnt bad at all. Felt like mild cramping I felt like passing out only bc I stopped breathing from being nervous. But I bled...literally for 3 weeks straight. After that I was fine but I gained 10 lbs and I was a total nutcase. I had it in for 2 years. The removal was the worst it felt like she was pulling my insides out. I just had my 3rd child and I am trying skyla...every person is different.  Talk to your dr she or he knows you the best"


"I have tried various antidepressants for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Dysthymia. Only Paxil and Prozac have been mildly effective for the depressive aspect. Most of them have helped with the anxiety that often goes along with such conditions. Viibryd is the first medication that has been very effective for me. It lifted the fog and gloomy feeling and it increased my energy, focus, and alertness. I feel 10 years younger and fresher. In the beginning and with each titration there were some mild GI issues that lasted 2-4 days. There was some difficulty with sleep in the beginning and with each upward titration, but sleep eventually improved. Incidentally, Viibryd has also increased my libido."


"Tooth infection. After taking 5 of the 28 pills I had the worst heartburn of my life and could not even lay down. After 10 of them I ended up in the ER with chest pains, excruciating heartburn, diarrhea, and the itchiest hives from head to toe. They were however very effective at clearing up the infection which in turn reduced the pain in my mouth significantly. So for me, where tooth pain is almost intolerable it was a trade off I accept."


"56 year old female with a lifetime of chronic constipation which seems to run in the family on my mothers side. After hitting menopause, bm's and the urge to have them simply stopped. I discontinued a bp med controlling migraine flares thinking that was the problem, but serious constipation continued no matter what I ate, drank or took. I saw a gastroenterologist who prescribed Linzess and am VERY pleased. no pain, just drain...and some gurgling intestinal sounds. best remedy EVER."


"I loved Adipex. I have not found anything that has worked since Ephedra was taken away and in the first month of taking Adipex I lost 15 pounds. I LOVE ADIPEX!"


"I have taken 7 shots. My blood sugars have gone from 250 to 140 in the mornings waking up. I do have 2 knots just on each side of my navel. I have experienced the nausea and feeling sick within 24 hours of the shot. I have lost 12 pounds. That's a lot considering I weighed 188 when I started and I'm at 176 now. I'm 6'2" tall and losing that much weight kind of scares me. I feel a lot better taking the Bydureon and I take 2000 mg metformin daily. This medicine has stabilized my sugar levels in 7 weeks."


"I have anxiety and I tried valium and xanax but Ativan works best for me."


"Excellent"


"Worst thing ever. Cleared my face in 3 days only to make it twice as worse after the 3rd day. I  now have acne in places I've never ever had a single breakout. I hate it"


"Did not phase my psoriasis in any way. It did manage to take my fingertips off the fingers I was using to apply it. I would have thought it was pretty strong based on that. But did nothing for my patches."

"Been using this for more than 20 years and is an excellent emergency use medication for any episode.  I had no side effects and it was originally suggested by my gastroenterologist.  For some reason, they are no longer being manufactured."


"Love this Drug. I have been on Januvia for at least a year and a half now. When I started, I noticed that in combination with metformin, if I am walking or exercising, within few (1-3) hours after taking a pill, my sugars are terrific and going down significantly. I couldn't achieve this with Gliburide and metformin alone. I used to have under-skin tissues all over the body formed like it is a bulge under skin, many bulges actually. After I started Januvia all those accumulations of tissue disappeared."


"I took TriNessa because I had really bad acne around my period. I've taken it for a month now and when I have my period my skin is clear. But when I'm not on my period my skin isn't. It's kind of opposite of what it was doing before."


"It helps my anxiety 100%!  Now I can be social and feel a lot better."


"I woke up with the worst pain last night and my mom told me to take Bactrim and it worked with in 15 minutes.  I have had many problems with my kidneys and taking this makes me feel great."


"No suicide ideation, but I was the most boring, apathetic and tired person ever. I literally fell asleep standing up. Extreme dreams. This changed me and everybody noticed. It was only good in the sense that I was no longer sad."


"I started Sprintec in the beginning of September and the first week I broke out SO bad around my mouth and on my chin which has never been a huge problem area for me. I'm on my third pack and it's still no signs of clearing up. Ive been losing even more hair than normal and it completely killed my sex drive. I have random pains in my abdomen that feel like cramps even when I'm not on my period. The only plus side is that my breasts got slightly bigger. Lol."


"After hysterectomy/oophorectomy hot flashes were unbearable.  After 3 months, doctor prescribed estradiol patch. Was given a generic and it works wonderfully. Hot flashes have subsided, sleeping better and feel more like my old self. I have not had the problem with the patch not sticking, so I'll stay with the generic brand as long as it continues to help me out."


"I got my first shot Aug 3 2015 . I started bleeding Aug 10 it's lasted for two weeks then I was off two weeks . Then I started bleeding September 10th and I didn't stop bleeding until I got my 2nd shot Oct 30 . BESIDES the bleeding it is very good on birth control I read a lot of experiences on how woman got their first shot and bled a lot and didn't go back to get the next one . My doctor told me that will make you bleed even more , in making the decision to get the shot be aware you might bleed a little more than usual but in due time around the 2nd or 3rd shot you will stop bleeding period . I haven't bled since I got the 2nd shot and I'm hoping it stays this way !"


"I have been taking Contrave for 3 months. As of yesterday, I have lost 1 pounds.

I have never had a weight problem, but had to take large amounts of steroids during my chemo for brain cancer. I have not been able to lose any of the weight I have gained until I tried Contrave.

I have not experienced any side effects."


"I used Soriatane for about 9 months and had to stop using it because I lost my insurance, but after those 9 months I went about 2 1/2 years until my psoriasis started coming back.  So if your insurance will cover it I would highly recommend this medicine to anyone."
