"I would just like to say that I have been taking Oxycontin along with other strong pain medication for years,   I have been blessed by doctors who understand what chronic pain can do to your life and not being afraid to prescribe what is needed.   Although I am still in chronic pain, I would not be able to get out of bed without these medications.
"


"I finally can sleep with this medicine. I actually feel like I get better sleep on it than natural sleep. Only down side is it is really only effective for me at a 30mg dosage.  Tried Ambien, melatonin, OTC sleep aids, and other benzodiazepines. Trumps all in my opinion."


"I have been on Tysabri since Jan 2015. Every month, about 7 days before my next infusion, my body is completely ravished with joint pain, pain & fatigue in my arms and legs. I have a cob web feeling in my left shoulder blade and my hands remain numb. I have been forced to go to the ER because the pain was intolerable. A few times I made it to my infusion but couldn't walk and the pain was so great they had to give me Dilaudid before my infusion. It usually takes 3  days after the infusion for the pain to subside . Every single month I spend 10 days in hell, but I am blessed to get 20 days of normal life. The FDA needs to understand that this drug does not last 28 days, this should be a 21 day cycle, otherwise people suffer with this drug."


"I got the implant after finding out birth control pills were the cause of my migraine attacks. My doctor inserted the rod in April 2015. I had no problems with the insertion and the incision healed in three days.

I was on cloud nine until about two weeks after when I spotted almost everyday with a week in between. During in this time I was constantly suffering with BV and yeast. I contacted my doctor who advised me to wait three to six months for my body to adjust. I agreed and the birth control finally was in sync with my body around October; or so I thought.

In June of this year, after having a period that lasted anywhere from three to five days a month, I started spotting a heavy, uncomfortable  tar-like discharge. Time to take it out."


"OH  HELP ME
I was a little scared because I felt like my kitty was gonna explode. I started to look for reviews to see if I was the only one having this burning situation, I regret  not reading the comments before applying this product. Now I'm  going on my second night and this burning sensation is unbearable, it's been almost an hour that I applied the cream and still feel my kitty on fire. I really hope all this is worth it. Cross your fingers ladies and pray you don't ever get a YI ever again."


"Gall bladder surgery was either botched or had complications. Terrible chronic pain for 3 years now. No alcohol, smoking caffeine, greasy foods or medicines of ANY kind other than prescribed Methadone 3 x 10mg a day allows me to run my business and take care of my family. No side effects. Works amazingly long time with a very constant pain decrease effect. Also stops abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Other medications such as Vicodin and Darvocet did not work well at all for long term pain.  I thank my Dr, who tried Methadone. "


"Last night I had mild symptoms so this morning I went to the store and purchased the 1 day... After I inserted the ovule I was fine but and hour or two later I was on FIRE!!!! The wipes did not help at all and I didn't dare use the cream! I don't understand what's going on but I do know this did NOT help me at all! This medication made my (MILD SYMPTOMS WORSE)!!! Please DO NOT USE AT ALL!!!!!! I am in pain even after a shower and a cool bath... In the morning I will be making a visit to my local urgent care!"


"I was in a quit smoking class when we got to the day of 'ok' today is the day what do each of you want to use to 'help' you succeed I'd done my homework and asked for Chantix  I followed the directions to the letter chose a day counted back to make the 'week' and began.. That was Oct 9th 2013. Today is March 12th, 2014 I have one week left of Chantix and will be done... I have slipped a time or two and laughingly tried I said laughingly because one puff and I was going yuck, and never made it past that puff, 154 days smoke free except for a couple puffs I don't intend to beat myself up for. I've had no side effects just the ability without going crazy to quit a 42 yr habit. Thanks Chantix for making it an easier journey."


"I'm 29 I've been on this for about 2 years. I get mine free as I'm diabetic. Sometimes it's very hard for me to maintain an erection despite my age. This medication is amazing and I've never had a side effect from it ever. Sometimes I could lose my erection if I had a lot on my mind during sex I would go soft because I was thinking about something else. Not anymore, I have 20mg x4 split in half. So I get 8 serving from 4 tablets as recommended by my doctor. This can help even erectile dysfunction from psychological problems not just physical. 10/10"


"After 20 years of migraine suffering I went private and was prescribed Amitriptyline 10mg.  I took these for 5 months and barely had a headache never mind migraine.  I got dry mouth and my sleeping improved also.  However after 5 months the migraines have started to come back so I increased the dosage to 20-25mg, again the first few weeks I noticed the dry mouth and disturbed sleeping but this has not settled down again and migraine free.  It's the best medicine I've ever had and had also helped with my neck and arm pain.  I couldn't recommend it enough, a lifesaver."


"I discourage anyone who has suffered from depression from using this product. Originally I chose Implanon to substitute my inability to regularly take the pill.  In the first month, my breasts jumped a cup size, my skin suffered marginally, sex drive was still strong and weight gain was not an issue.  However after 3 months I noticed that I was continually feeling down.  I was lethargic, unmotivated, crying unpredictably, and had thoughts of suicide (8 occasions).  I have previously been diagnosed as manic depressive, and thus strongly recommend if you are considering this contraceptive form, PLEASE discuss Implanon and mental health with your doctor (AND if they are dismissive, find another doctor)."


"I am a 28 y/o male, I used all drugs from about 12 but opiates and then IV heroin for about 10 years straight. I went through at least 7-8 rehabs and detoxes and endless county jails. In all those years I never had been able to stay clean more than a month on purpose. I've been clean now 1 year 8 months and a day. Vivitrol saved my life without a doubt. I was on it for 13 months with intensive out patient treatment and as many NA meeting as I could get to in a week. I had some issues sleeping with the first shot but after that the side effects were a headache here and there. Freedom from active addiction is worth any cost. Give it a try if I could do it I promise anyone can."


"The first couple of months  was good, but  after that I have increased acne and heavy spotting."


"Although Apri was very effective in doing its main job, preventing pregnancy, the side effects were very bad. I had perfectly clear skin prior to going on Apri, and about a month after starting I started having very severe break outs. I had noticeable mood swings that were not present before going on Apri. After being on Apri for 5 months, I have now switched to Sprintec which is a pill with a higher dose of estrogen. After being on Sprintec for a month I have noticed my skin clearing slightly and no crying spells before my period. Works better for me and would recommend it over Apri!"


"I'm still trying to find a medication that works for me. But this is one that the doctor prescribed me about two years ago, and I took it for very close to a year. It did not help. They kept adding more dosage until finally I quit seeing my psychiatrist altogether and stopped taking the medication."


"My boyfriend has been on Antabuse for a few months now, and for the most part just the thought of drinking scared him. He takes this pill daily at the same time and now after witnessing one of the sickest people I've ever seen due to one drink while taking this medicine, I'm scared for him. He literally was bright red, his body was on fire and the sickness he felt was something he had never felt before and never wishes that he had drank. He was in massive pain. This drug works wonders, but under no circumstances, no matter how much stress you have in your life, DON'T DRINK while on this medicine. You have absolute helplessness over the situation. There isn't an antidote."


"Severe bronchitis slowly subsiding after 30 hours. Side effect some bloating, stomach ache, after 4 doses amoxicillin.  "


"Very quick response to lowering eye pressure from 30 to 21 in 3 weeks. No side effects at all."


"This medicine is a godsend.  I was previously taking Depakote & Seroquel & got so sick & tired of my previous dr not listening to my concern of feeling like a zombie all day & trying to nod off during the day.  Once I changed dr's, my current dr heard my concerns & introduced me to Trileptal.  By far this is the BEST I've been doing since my correct diagnosis in 2009!  I couldn't be happier w/my current progress, both not feeling like a zombie, but now also being able to thoroughly enjoy life with my first child I had in Oct 2015.  I feel both the most leveled out I've felt in quite some time, but also without the awful effect of feeling 'drugged up' per say & actually feel regular human emotion, haha.  I'd totally recommend this script!"


"Happy to see Enbrel worked for many of you. For me it's only worse. I think I have just a break down of skin damage from sun that worked and steroid creams. "


"I was on this pill for almost two years. It does work as far as not getting pregnant however my experience at first was it didn't make a huge difference then 6 or 7 months into it my sex drive went down, along with being very very dry, my moodiness increased drastically. I would cry one second and then get angry with my husband over anything and everything. My skin has gotten a lot worse, I broke out in places I never had in the last week. So now I am on Yaz."


"I have had PTSD for 15 years, I was skeptical about taking medication for my condition, thinking each day I would fight on and get better without the aid of medications.
I have finally sought help and have only been taking Zoloft for a short period of time and already I feel the difference. I feel happier and my general mood is more positive, the negative thoughts have diminished considerably.  I have had no bad side effects to date.  My advice to anyone hesitating is just pluck up the courage and talk to your doctor."


"This is my first time on xulane patch I been on it for 7 days now, boy I tell ya I been feeling really sick like flu symptoms and nausea.. I can say it sticks on very well you just can't be soaking for an hour in water I take showers it works best on my buttocks.. I don't know anything about the periods yet since it is my first week"


"I am 86, in good health and play tennis twice a week.  The bone on bone problem started about 5 years ago and the orthovisc has been a blessing.  I heard about its effectiveness in only 50 % of people treated and am so glad it's working for me.  No problem with the injections.  I can feel when I need another shot - probably about 8 months."


"Simple started out 5"6 188 pound male last September. Had some fatigue and dry mouth but drank more water and it seemed to ease those issues after a few days. Now I am at my goal of 140 pounds and ride my bike three times a week. My doctor says my numbers are good and keep up the good work. I am staying on my full dose as I don't want to gain my weight back like before. Just feel really healthy."


"I used the patch and because I thought it was helping reduce the pain of my tendonitis of my wrists, I continued using it. The pain  of neither wrist got worse and my palm hurt and also the fingers.  A week ago after using Salonpas pain patch for over three months, my wrists have swollen and the pain is excruciating.  I went back too my doctor but because he was not aware that I had used the patch for a long time, he thought the swelling of the wrists were due to rheumatoid arthritis.  The swelling is going down  gradually. I would like to add here that I am allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen.  I read the label only yesterday!"


"I have been on Qsymia for 5 weeks now and the only changes I have noticed in me and my body is that
caused dizziness and nausea initially. I have maybe lost 1 lb since I started taking this medicine but worried about the side effects so stopped. "


"I've been taking amoxicillin for my wisdom teeth removal for five days now, I was only taking two a day, (mainly because I wake up late), so I have some left over, I'm very tempted to not take the rest as its caused me severeE cramps in my abdomen that come in go within seconds of eachother, it's also made me constipated. I've been constipated for four days now with the cramps still continuing, wouldn't recommend this pain to anyone."

"Been on this pill for numerous years. Overall have had no problems. Decreased the intensity and length of my periods which is great. Sex drive could use some help.  Never get cramps, headaches have subsided (maybe pill related or due to my age)."


"I have taken carisoprodol for about 7 years 3 per day as needed.  This is to prevent painful muscle cramps of my ribcage muscles, the intercostals.  These muscles are mostly pretty small but very painful when they cramp.  Tried flexeril 15 years ago for a couple of years.  They put me to sleep and did not prevent the cramps.  Dr then prescribed Robaxin which was unreliable at pretty high dosages.  I developed spinal issues both in the neck and low back.  Prescribed opioids throughout to alleviate pain of the back issues as well as the muscle cramps.  Soma for at least the last 7 years.  Very effective at preventing, and even stopping attacks.  10 minutes to take effect. No noticeable side effects or withdrawal. Maybe just lucky.  Great med."


"I have been using Rosiver (Soolantra) for about a month now.  I’m not sure if I should stop... I keep getting flare ups where I get bad acne and bumps plus redness.  There are moments of my skin seeming to calm down, only to flare up again.  I’m tempted to stop, but read that people have seen positive results after using for a while."


"I had paragauard for two years even though I had heavy periods and VERY bad cramps. I can't handle birth control pills (depression, weight gain, acne,  you name it). Finally, I gave in and tried Kyleena. Insertion hurts (a minute or two of cursing under your breath and some deep breathing), then I was basically fine. I took Motrin and Tylenol before insertion and took a few doses of Motrin for maybe a week or two after. Some brown spotting a week or so before my first period then a light period for about one week. Since then nothing and feeling great! I go back tomorrow to have an ultrasound to confirm placement, so far I can feel my strings and no issues during sex. Definitely recommend, just make sure you go to an OBGYN."


"This medication has caused severe sexual side effects. As a 58 year old active person, I have been on this for two years. Although this did wonders for my panic and depression, it has leveled my libido and I can't climax. "


"I really have probably been addicted for the last 30 years but some life changing things happened that I became out of control. My daughter was murdered and I got a divorce and my life became unmanageable and I was dying day by day. Finally on the 7th of January  2015 I went into the hospital and started on. Suboxone.  It was like a new life for me. I no longer look for pain pills everyday. It has been almost a year and it has been so wonderful to not be chasing pills every day. Thank you Dr and suboxone for giving me my life back."


"The first day on this kept me awake all night and gave me a strange feeling. Two weeks in and I feel terrific. No anxiety episodes at all. Give this medicine a few days to kick in then you will really feel the benefits."


"It hasn't helped my severe COPD & acute exacerbations. My Dr. gave me samples to try but so far nothing. I will continue to take until all is gone then I have to call the Dr. about the results. I have extreme sweating & was sick to my stomach the 1st wk but now it's just every so often"


"I've dealt with depression/anxiety all of my life, or at least as early as I hit puberty. I tried Zoloft and Wellbutrin to their max doses, and neither were effective at all.  After dealing with unbearable constant depression I stopped seeing my psychiatrist and went to a family physician who prescribed me Effexor. It's been maybe 4 months on Effexor XL 75 mg/day, and I've done a 180 degree turn around. I feel so content, so confident, rarely feel sad or bothered by little things. I started dating and met someone, and my friendships with people are stronger than ever. I finally feel like the person I should be, and more importantly I feel like an OPTIMIST. Only bad thing is that withdrawal is bad & it can make you nauseous. Otherwise 10/10!"


"I want to update since May 2015. It has been 6 months. I will say YES the pain patch works if your tolerant and give it time and have the correct dose. It does stay on it you folow directions and bathe correct. What I hate is I can't get in the sun. I live in Florida. I cant swim or it will start peeling they are not cheap. It has restricted my work outs. I have no more interest in it not sure why. I'm about to pick up my last box. I' going to slow the use of them by cutting them over time. I just put on my last patch for this box. Im going  to wear it for 14 days not 7. Then I'm going to cut the next patch in 2 wear it 7 days and then the other 1/2 14 days. then the 3rd patch in 3. The same with 4th. I have tramadol if need be."


"I have only been taking this medication for 2 weeks. It has been pretty up and down for me each and everyday. I requested help for anxiety made worse by PMS. I started on 2.5mg and had scary anxiety, worse than what I was even taking it for, mild dry mouth, dizziness, and head sensations that were not quite painful but annoying. Just when I thought it was getting better, side effects seem to come and go as they please. I know that 2 weeks is not a fair amount of time to evaluate the drug completely and while my PMS was improved this month, I feel different, and not in a good way. I don't know how much longer I will give it a go."


"Put patch on for night time relief. Woke next morning with blisters and welts in the area. I now know the extent of the medication - the blisters and red marks - like a second degree burn spread throughout an area 2 - 3 times the size of the patch. Sitting, leaning back has been difficult. Wearing clothing has been difficult. Laying in bed has been painful. The Doc has given me an ointment for my skin and meds for the pain. The blisters have drained today. The burnt skin is still there. This was the FIRST time I used this product."


"My blood sugar numbers are nothing short of amazing.  97 or below every morning.  Even with a heavy carb meal I get to under 150 after pretty regularly.  Had slight nausea first week.  Nothing more the next 2 weeks.  Looking forward to my A1Cs in 3 months."


"Medication helps slightly with spasms, but has a high rate of stomach upset and gas."


"I have used Glipizide XL for about 6 years now as a secondary medicine. Glipizide helps to keep my blood sugar numbers within range and keeps me from having to use insulin as much as I would without it, which is a good thing. I haven't had any side effects from the glipizide at all. I'm very happy with this medication."


"I too was on Enbrel for about 6 months (for reiter's syndrome)  it worked well at first. Around month 5 stopped working. Went to Humira (1 month now) So Far it has worked wonders. I noticed improvement after a few days. Seemed to weaken after week 2, after 2cd shot taken, back up and feeling strong. (probably builds up in system) I'm feeling more energetic, like my old self. First time in years, I'm thinking of going back  to work. Hope it keeps working.
Reiters syndrome 20 years, recently Crohnes disease.
Cost of Humira 20.00 (with my insurance) no insurance, I understand its about 2,000 month? I also understand if you contact Humira, may get it for free or very large discount. Other insurance? All over the $ board.
So far Humira is great"


"I have been on this birth control for a few weeks now and have had nothing but issues with it. The first few days were fine and I had very few problems As I got farther along into the pill pack I started having more side effects such as Bad cramps, light headed, I was very moody, My back was very achy, and I started to have headaches. Day 7 I started my period 3 weeks early. I figured it was spotting but I ended up having to use tampons and pads. I called my doctor and they told me to stay on it and it should get better. So that is what i did. It hasn't stopped.Ii have been on my "period' for a week now when usually it is only 3. I am very disappointed with this medicine."


"I've recently started the patch due to health reasons - not contraception (although it is a win win). I haven't been on bc in over 10 years, so I have nothing really to compare it to. However, I will say this: I've found that the Xulane patch makes me a bit nauseous at times, but those phases never last more than 10 mins, although those 10 minutes can be very intense. It gets to the point where I'm salivating, extremely warm, and feel as if I am about to hurl (but I never do). That typically happens twice a day. I've also found that my usual problems with constipation have diminished since on the patch (I no longer think that is coincidence). My breasts are also more full (plus for me, lol) but also more sensitive; minor weight gain as well"


"I was diagnosed with H1N1 on 9 Jan 2017. I was prescribed Tamiflu that same day. Within a day I felt 80% better.  I am glad I went to the DR withinh 48 hours of initial symptoms.  Today I have 3 pills left to take but I feel 100% better. I did not have any bad side effects. Take it with a meal or a large glass of milk."


"This has been more effective in treating premenstrual dysphoric disorder in my case than any of the other combinations of antidepressants or mood stabilizers my doctors have tried. It saved my sanity."


"I was having bad vertigo with cold sweat, vomiting and nausea, I started taking Vontrol, and the vertigo was less severe, vomiting and nausea disappeared."


"My COPD is remarkedably better. I can breath much better.  However, I also have 7 side effects."


"Insertion was excruciating. Severe cramps immediately and for two weeks after. Went to my doctor and she said "pain is relative"... :p Every month I feel that same excruciating dizzying pain when my period hits and have to stay in bed. If you can't handle monthly stabbing pains well...don't get the mirena."


"I have been on this for over a year and I am sad that it isn't working for certain things. I have a very light 3-4 day period every time, no breakthrough bleeding, no cramps headaches or anything else! My skin cleared up immensely. The three biggest problems were the fact that ever since I have been on this I have absolutely no sex drive, at all, I have been so depressed and down, and I gained 20 pounds because of the hormone levels :(! I would still be on it if the couple side effects I have weren't so large."


"Once the correct dosage was established my anxiety and panic attacks steadily improved. I underwent prolonged treatment due to a nasty relapse after the first round, following the birth of my first child. In the last stretch I was on this medicine for 8 years. Dosage peaked at 150mg and after a couple of years following complete symptoms remission we started dropping the dose VERY gradually. I have been off it for 9 months now. I had only mild adjustment side effects when starting the medicine: headache and nausea - both transient. During treatment I had very low libido and poor apetite. Over time, while initial symptoms positively disappeared, I became more irritable but doctor did not attribute this to the medicine but circumstance/nature"

"I thought SuPrep was fine. I had heard horror stories about other preps and this was not so bad. Also I took advice and used the very light colored Gatorade to help get it down. My doctor allowed me to also drink chicken broth. So the whole process was way less awful than I had feared. It all went faster than other prep methods I had heard about."


"I was taken off Lexapro and put on this. It's made me extremely angry. I can't do my school work or anything. I want off this NOW."


"I can't believe this medication only has a 5.3 average score (as of 08/02/2010). I got samples from my doctor and thought it worked great. Also - no addictive qualities."


"Have high cholesterol and triglycerides.  I am also a diabetic and I have borderline high blood pressure.  My doctor put me on Livalo because he said that because of all the medicine I am on, an advantage of Livalo is how it is metabolized.  It does not use the liver much.  That makes me happy.  I am tolerating it well and my LDL went from 225 to 110 in 90 days.  I will take that."


"Trouble sleeping my whole life. I tried taking other medications with mild results. Belsomra works great for me! Downfall is the price but it is absolutely worth it if you are one of the people it works for effectively. The trouble waking up is the only thing I would change about this medication."


"I was prescribed Contrave when I talked with my doctor about how much weight I've gained recently and my inability to lose weight even with a healthier diet. I just started my 3rd week and am still doing the 1 pill in the morning, 1 pill late afternoon phase since I've already seen improvement in my portion control and have been loosing weight. This has helped me realize how many snacks and how much food I was actually eating at meals. I (for the first time in a long time) can say no to sweets and extra food just because it's there. In less than 3 weeks I've lost 8lbs. I experienced a tight feeling in my stomach for 2 days, but that was very minimal and is gone. No other side effects. Will update review at the end of my prescription"


"I've been taking Belviq for two years. Slowly I lost 30 pounds. I have continued to take this medication and the most important detail is that I have kept my weight loss off as Belviq Works perfectly for weight maintenance too.  (I can't tell you how many times, prior to Belviq, that I'd gained and lost this weight.) Very much helps  me with cravings and over eating."


"At first I loved paxil because I wasn't crying all the time but even as I'm writing this I feel like there are sprinklers going off in my head. I'm always forgetting things, 0 sex drive, either I'm in a euphoric state of mind or completely absent minded. I constantly feel stoned (and not the good kind).I just started a new job and I can hardly focus."

"Was diagnosed a year ago, Viral load 20000 and CD4 540. I've always struggled with a Phobia of any medication, so learning of my HIV diagnosis I knew it was going to be a challenge to start treatment. 3 days ago I decided to start. I decided that Genvoya would be a perfect fit for me due to very little side affects.

Day one. Slight nausea after and hour of taking Genvoya, but a piece of Pepper Mint candy stoped the nausea. 14 hours in I had a beer a nausea started up. Day Two, I felt really great! Slight dizziness after an hour of taking it, could have been my Anxiety that caused that. Remind you I have a phobia of Medication. The rest of Day Two I felt great, more energy. Day 3, absolutely no issues. I'm feeling great. Genvoya is great!"


"I rated this at 50% because I'm not quite sure what's going on and how I feel about it. I have Raynaud's syndrome and my hands and feet are constantly cold, blue, white, etc. If I'm in the heat or long showers, my feet turn bright red and get painful. If I'm doing physical activties my hands get red and swollen. Anyway, I took this medicine for the first time at about 8:30 last night. It's now 4am and my feet are bright red, swollen, and painful, and my only minor relief is to keep my feet elevated (which can get tricky at work). They are warm, and my hands are warm, which is much different than usual, but this swelling is very bothersome. I'm not sure which is worse- before the meds or now. Right now, I think I'd rather take the cold."


"Was diagnosed with depression, then bi-polar, then bipolar   narcolepsy.  Cocktail I was on for well over a year was 5mg Abilify, 60mg Cymbalta and 250mg NuVigil.  Recently came off the Abilify and I can't even explain how good I felt, not high, not mania, just that "finally, just me" feeling.  I was content with life, at peace and for the first time in YEARS I was even happy!  After a week of no Abilify we decided to begin weaning off the NuVigil.  Been taking 150mg Nuvigil   60mg Cymbalta for a week now and feel horrible.  Don't care about a thing, no motivation, tired, etc.  Doc said give it a month.  Hope I can last that long.  I just want ME back, as does my wife and kids."


"I have been taking Desogen for almost a month and a half. I get dizzy, have severe headaches, cystic acne, extreme cramps, and the worst part of it all is my moods are awful. I get so angry and emotional at the drop of a hat. So I stopped taking it because I was tired of getting angry all the time and taking it out on my boyfriend. Luckily he's very understanding. My moods and acne have now practically vanished once I stopped taking it."


"(TEXT LIMIT)

36, suffered since childhood. Anxiety, Depression, and panic attacks. Believing I have heart problems, heart pounding that my mind is creating, hatred, anger, anger, anger, and lack of ever really just feeling good. And by good, I don't mean parties and hooking up two people to date. I mean just taking in life and acknowledging nature for those very brief beautiful moments I only have vague memories of doing.

This drug helped me, and I wish I could stay on it, but I can't. It built tolerance, affected my memory, and started degrading my cognitive functions. Outside of that, the search was finally over when I got on it, but now it's back to hell because I can't stay. Everyone is different, don't increase the dose."


"I started having severe panic/anxiety attacks a few years ago after a traumatic experience. I used to have anxiety all day everyday. I lost weight, couldn't eat, sleep and became literally afraid of everything! I tried other meds and was frustrated after repeated failed attempts. Finally I went to see a new Doctor who convinced me to try LEXAPRO. I was skeptic at first. After a few days I noticed a major difference! I was more relaxed and felt like my old self again. There wasn't any major side effects only during the first two weeks I felt really tired but calm. But that went away after a few weeks. I continued the medication and now I can honestly say I have my life back! I gained a little weight but I manage with exercise. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."


"I took Trinessa for 6 months before I realized it was my birth control that was making me severely ill every day. From about August-February I was overcome by nausea and vomiting. I ended up in and out of the hospital numerous times and ultimately lost 60 pounds from vomiting. Trinessa is effective in preventing pregnancy, but not worth the side effects."


"I've been on TriNessa for 9 months now and it is fantastic. Before starting the pill I had pains from my period that would have me in bed and crying for days. It took about 3 months for the pills to really take effect, but I noticed a big change in how much pain I was experiencing. I could make it through a day of school just by taking a Midol in the morning. Now my periods last for no longer than 4 days, they're on schedule, and they're all but painless. I have gained very little weight and my skin was mostly clear even right before I was about to start my period. I have missed two pills in the 9 months that I have been taking them, but I can't say I was overly worried about it. I highly recommend this pill for pain and birth control."


"I began taking cymbalta six weeks ago for generalized anxiety disorder.  Although the initial side effects of disrupted sleep was difficult, it disappeared after about three weeks.  I began on 30 mg and increased to 60 mg after one week.  The results have been incredible.  For the first time ever, I can sit quietly without a million thoughts running through my head.  I no longer feel "stuck" on certain thoughts.  I feel calmer, more relaxed and happier.  I also find that my thinking is very clear.  Overall, feeling very, very good.  Highly recommend cymbalta."


"10 out of 10 ,Lyrics "


"I am 54 years of age and decided to use Implanon as my birth control method a couple of months ago. I still have a monthly menstruation cycle but no side effects to mention at this time. Hopefully, none to mention ever.  It seems to me that every medication has its risks. So does driving a vehicle but we get behind the wheel anyway. You do what you have to do. "


"Awesome! No side effects thus far. No period small bruise after insertion."


"annabamma-  you need to PROVE beyond a shadow of a doubt that her psoriasis is debilitating.  It must be SEVERE for them to cover the cost of the medicine.  Moderate just wont cut it, it didn't in my case.  I know its easier said than done but I let my skin get horrifically bad just to prove to my insurance that it should be covered.  TAKE PICTURES and see several dermatologists until one considers it a MAJOR problem.  Hope that helps."


"I've had multiple sclerosis for almost 10 years and have been on pretty much every other MS therapy there is (Copaxone, Rebif, Tysabri, Gilenya, Tecfidera) and had horrible reactions with all these meds. Aubagio is the only medication that I don't have major side effects on. When I first started there was some nausea and flu-like symptoms but they dissipated after the first month. I haven't had any recent flairs and I used to take Nuvigil for fatigue, but have found that I don't need it since I've started Aubagio. The One-to-One nurses are friendly, but extremely unhelpful. They basically regurgitate the same verbiage that's on their website and can rarely answer my questions."


"With 20 mg of Brintelix, my depression and my anxiety lowered by great means. But I had no energy and no focus. My doc then added 2 mg of Abilify. Wow! I'm now fully energic during the day and I have my life back. With a bonus: no gain weight or other side effects."


"I have been a smoker for 33 years. I had tried everything to quit smoking.  Nicotine gum, Lozenges, Patches, Cessation classes and even hypnosis. Nothing worked. I started taking Chantix on 23 May 11 was able to stop on 6 June 11 . I know it has only been 10 days but I have never gone this long without smoking in the last 33 years.  It works for me.  I sort of enjoy some of the wild dreams I am having but have stopped taking the pills so now the dreams may stop."


"Seems to have worked well in reducing cancer/PSA.  Minimal side effects EXCEPT for both hands.

Both hands are painful when moved and big knuckles can be very hurtful when holding an object. Warmth helps, as does minimising hand movements.

Can hold a tennis ball without problems. a golf ball with some effort and pain, and a pen or small object can be a big problem to grasp."


"I have been taking tri-lo-sprintec for over a year now, but in the last 4-ish months, I've started to get worse PMS super bloated, tender breasts, exhaustion, and mild anxiety and lack of motivation, even for my favorite sport, rock climbing. My sex drive has even gone down, and I used to be insatiable. I initially went on this birth control to clear up my acne and it used to help my PMS symptoms but now they are back and just as severe, if not worse, and they start week 2 of my pack and last until my period starts. Except my skin is still clear, that is the only benefit.
I've been incredibly uncomfortable and I am on my last pack, hopefully getting an IUD when I get my next period.
 I used to feel great on this, now I feel terrible."


"I am taking Arava for rheumatoid arthritis and it's causing a terrible cough. Tessalon worked great and allowed me to sleep all night."


"I started on a low dose It did nothing. My neurologist gave it to me after ropinerole didn't work.
After only a week I did start to get urges to spend. I bought some art (luckily on finance and it was a decent investment, but not normally a purchase I'd make) and I started to do crazy spontaneous things - it was quite fun, but also a bit scary as I was a bit out of control.

I had to double the dose as it  didn't touch the sides for my restless legs.
Even the double dose only helped slightly. I would still wake up at 2am with the urge to move. It was better than having nothing but still not good enough to help me get a good night's sleep.

It gave me terrible short term memory loss and brain fog."


"I have taken Trileptal 75 mg with 25 mg of Effexor at bedtime

for 3 years with outstanding results for anxiety/ panic attacks.

Sleep improved dramatically with this combination of drugs."


"Gave me very very Bad cramps with minimal bowl movement. I would never recommend this to anyone"


"Although very effective. I found the spotting a nuisance."


"I had the Implanon put in three months ago. It was okay at first with a normal seven day period. Then skipped period the next month and now I'm on a period going on four weeks. I have never been so emotional. I also have severe back pains and am breaking out."


"This medication made me sleepy and far less alert than normal. It worsened my condition."


"PLEASE READ.
Never be in a doubt about the huge psychology involved in creating an erection - it can be far from merely physical.
As a relatively young widower I had problems with erectile dysfunction with several women - even when I used Cialis.
When I met a truly nice woman - and discussed my erectile dysfunction situation with her - my problem evaporated overnight.
Lesson for me:  if you're not with a woman you can talk to about your problems, you're not with the right woman.
I have not tried the daily Cialis - but I have found the 20mg Cialis to be wonderful."


"Was prescribed Lupron after endo surgery since not all growths could be removed. I was very scared to be taking it after I read about it (I cried in doctor's office when getting the injection). But I ended up loving it. It stopped my periods and the pain, so my anemia was under control and I had so much energy! As for side effects, there was insomnia (but I was not tired from it, so it was OK) and hot flashes started after about two months - but that was nothing compared to the relief. I only got one 3-month shot, but the positive effects lasted for quite a bit. I hope to get another 3-6 months soon.

I know there are risks to this, and everyone reacts differently, so I could not advise anyone to take it or not, but for me it was wonderful."


"So, I used this pill 3 times in one month. I already know that it was stupid and trust me don't do what I did. I also had all the side effects that were not what you would want times 3. I will tell you this, this is very strong and yes it works. Even with taking 3 pills in one month I still got my period although it was a couple days late I still got it. Have no fear it will work for you just don't stress yourself out."


"Interesting reading all these negative posts.  I have been hospitalized three times for blocked bowels, and the treatment is nether cheap or pleasant.  After keeping a diary for my GI where I had pain almost every day for six months he prescribed Linzess.  First couple of days had no results, then it started working.  Very predictable and yes I do need to be near a bathroom for an hour or two after I take it.  After that everything is under control.  I feel wonderfully better and have much more energy.  I do believe you should take it on an empty stomach, then eat something about thirty minutes later.  On a few occasions I have taken a second dose in the evening if I felt uncomfortable or needed to skip the morning due to appointments."


"I have been on this for two and a half weeks and I started off at 181.00  lb and today I'm 169.8 lb so far I'm happy with it."


"This was my 4th week taking trulicity .75 the 1st two wks went ok, the 3rd week I started having severe pains in my stomach, severe nausea,  hives, diarrhea.  The 4th week was the same but worse, I broke out in hives from my head to my feet, had welts all over me, I just got back from the hospital last night because of it. And it's still doing the same thing the next morning, I wake up with severe stomach pains, nausea I belch an tastes like rotten eggs, diarrhea,  and the itching, hives everywhere! ! Ended up having to take prednisone and benedryl for the hives rash, Zofran and acid reducers for the sickness and vomiting. It makes food lay in my stomach and doesn't let it digest. Please DO research on this medicine if it is offered!!"


"I tried EVERY over the counter gastric acid reliever on the planet and nothing worked. Then I got my doctor to prescribe Protonix and never had any problems after that. I was very pleased."


"Before taking Lexapro I would be very uncomfortable around  people and I would become depressed because I continued to deal with mild obsessive compulsive disorder.  My job is also very stressful as I am a manager at an entertainment business and would obsess over my job so I would not miss any details.  I had no time for life outside of work because I would obsess over my job and "worse case scenario".  I am a 26 year old and when I was younger, around 17,  doctors would treat me with all types of depressive medications.  With negative outcomes, I decided young that I would not take any more medications and "toughen" it out.   NOW with events leading up to me taking Lexapro, I am a new person and I don't worry about little things any more.  The OCD is GONE!"


"I had my thyroid irradiated in 2005 due to Grave's disease caused by Hep C treatment (Ribivirin & Interferon).  At first I saw an endocrinologist that prescribed Armour Thyroid but loss of job and insurance forced me to go to a free clinic, where I receive Synthroid.  The clinic doesn't seem to understand the difference between experiencing low thyroid levels from naturally occurring hypothyroidism, & complete loss of thyroid.  My NP says to me, incredulously, "You take an awful lot of thyroid!", & at that time I was only taking 75mcg a day.  Finally after three years of 75 to 100mcg, when I felt absolutely crazy (tired, confused, hair loss, cranky, paranoid, angry, enormous weight gain), she now has me on 150mcg which seems not perfect but better."


"Had 4 treatments 3 weeks apart. Symptoms still hanging on a month after completion are wrinkled fingertips and a slight feeling like I touched a hot cookie sheet. Very sensitive to spicy foods as tongue felt burnt too."


"I've recently gotten off a 2.5 year paxil treatment for my social anxiety. My main issue was sweaty face/body and red face breakout. I was first perscribed 20mg but as nothing changed after 2 months I was put on 40mg. It certainly helped. I was quiet tired in the beginning but it got better. I felt the side effects as I gained over 10kg in the past 1.5, and also I didn't have much of a sex drive and almost impossible to orgasm (I'm Male). Regardless though it helped my life for the better. Unfortunately stopping recently was a bad idea, my anxiety has returned along with a certain feel of depression. I'll be returning to paxil starting tomorrow with 20mg, and see how it goes. Regardless of the side effects etc, it did help me in my life."


"I was 309 pounds then I started saxenda in one year I lost 85 pounds"


"I take 150mg of this everyday for anxiety. I was previously on Paxil for a few years, which stopped working for me. It's pretty good at helping me control my anxiety, however, if I forget to take the pill by more than 4 hours from the previous day (exactly 8am day 1, past Noon day 2) I get the worst withdrawals: dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, insomnia. Then when I remember to take it if I had forgotten, it takes a few hours to kick in and for the side effects to go away. I never experienced this with Paxil. If it weren't for this issue than I would give Effexor XR 9/10."


"With all the blood pressure medications I've taken over the last 15 years, specifically beta blockers, Bystolic has been the best match for me. I was originally placed on beta blockers to control the rate of my heart since I have PSVT's, which also increased my BP during those episodes. While I do work nights, I have gained weight since taking beta blockers. With Bystolic I do feel less tired and able to keep moving, climb stairs easier, my weight gain has stopped. My BP is usually 120's/70-80. The cons of this drug, and to be fair, all beta blockers, I have horrendous nightmares. I have to take a sleeping pill, Lunesta, for that!"


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"First of all, believe that the doctor had evaluated and decided that this drug has more benefits than the side effects for you.  Every medicine has side effects.

I completed my 14 days of prevpac today.

I was having unexplained upper right stomach pain and sometimes diarrhea once or twice in a week.  Initially thought its gallstones - but ultrasound confirmed its not.  All blood work was normal.  Upper endoscopy did not figure out any ulcers.  Finally,did a stool test and confirmed the presence of h.pylori antigen and i was recommended prevpac for 14 days.

I had few side effects. Headache in the evening,Mild stomach cramps, Bitter taste in mouth (specifically in the morning).  Im feeling perfect nw.  Be positive and that supplements the med"


"I've suffered with cold sores since I was about 6 years old, I am now 18 and when I was going through my final year of high school I had at least 1 cold sore a month because of the stress of things so I was prescribed acyclovir. I was told to take 2 a day for 3 months and then take a break and it dramatically improved my cold sores. They barely appeared but when they did they were half as big as usual and they healed within about 4 days. Now I only take acyclovir when I feel a cold sore coming on and it is honestly the best thing that I have used to help."


"Ive been on this product for about 6 months. Yes, the beguining is hard . You will get more pimples and your skin will burn and turn red but realize this will pass and the struggle is worth it. A couple weeks is worth it compared to years worth of bad acne. Do not wax your upper lip if you are applying epiduo there- very painful. Also, after applying, use a fan or roll down a car window so that the air dries your face fast so the irratation will go away quicker.  I have no irratation of any sort anymore-just skin that gets better and better each day."


"I have been suffering from a severe sinus infection for 6 weeks.  Antibiotics twice, 3 trips to Dr.  When I was at my sickest, I was using MucinexD and it may have helped some.  I felt so bad then I don't know that I would have noticed side effects.  But weeks later, I was still having so much thick drainage and light headed in my throat that my Dr. told me to switch to the Mucinex (plain) thinking it was the pseudoephedrine that was causing the vertigo.  My vertigo worsened and I never even thought of the medication being the cause because the Dr. had said I would be fine without the pseudoephedrine in it.  Went to ER when my vertigo became alarming.  All tests negative.  After all that I found I am allergic to Guaifenesin."


"It was like a light bulb went on in my brain."


"I love Apri. I tried another birth control, and it made me so depressed, but on Apri I feel just fine. The only problem is that in 18 months on the pill I have gained about 20 pounds, with very little change in my diet and exercise. It is SO HARD to lose weight on Apri."


"The diarrhea sucked, it was watery and I had some nausea along with bad cramps. I have crohns disease which has symptoms already  including cramps/nausea and of course diarrhea, lesson completely learned. BE SAFE AND SMART. Never ever again. Hopefully it is gone and over with soon, I took them earlier this morning in the pharmacies parking lot with a bottle of water."


"Side effects for me are headaches, muscle pain & insomnia"


"This birth control is great, better than I was was on before and that was the NuvaRing. This pill is easy to take. Some cramping here and there before my period but I always get my period the third day of my iron pills. But there's a down side. I wear contacts, I prefer them so much more than my glasses but sometimes my contacts will start getting super blurry and I can't see at all. Sometimes I'll put in my contacts and leave the house, and while I'm driving my contacts start blurring up so I'll have to pull over and take them out and put on my glasses. That's the only downside of this pill if you wear contacts."


"I take non generic Depakote ER 1750 mg?? Haldol 4 mg, and propranolol 20 mg.  I have some hair loss, insomnia, and shakiness.  I believe the medicine is finally working after 17 years of trying every bipolar medication with Depakote ER.  I lose my patience and get angry at customer service representatives sometimes.  I lose my patience and get mildly angry at my husband but it appears to be under control.  The insomnia at times gets really bad and I wind up calling lifenet to cope.  I will be trying melatonin 3mg to see if this helps.  I want to try 1500 mg of Depakote ER to see if my insomnia improves also."


"I love the nextplanon so far. My arm was a little sore after it was placed in, but I expected that. No symptoms besides a few minor headaches and some dizziness. My periods seemed to have completely stopped, which is nice but I've heard that symptoms take longer to show in some people so I'm just going to have to wait and see but so far everything has been great. It's nice not having to worry about taking something daily."

"I took this to help with period cramps and it did not help. It also made me extremely moody. "

"This really works although there is some restlessness, but considering the options this is a miracle drug quelling the delusions, body dysmorphia and insomnia (so far, so good). This is the second time taking this. Compared to the others this is the best. Can't get fat cause you're restless. It's just the omipresent worry about the long-term effects so I gave it a 7. "


"Prescribed this for sinus and double ear infection which was not cleared by a 3 day course of Zithromax 500mg. After 2 doses of one pill per day I had SEVERE stomach pains and was told by doctor to discontinue use. "


"I had this form of birth control in my arm since April 2016 and it's been the worst. My husband recently joined the Army and we came to the conclusion that we didn't want to have babies until our lives were settled. I've been bleeding heavy since about a week after I got it and it's July. I get migraines, gained about 10 pounds, and super moody. Cramps are the worst!! Also, get very dizzy frequently. Wish I never got this. All these symptoms have added so much stress on top of the stress I'm already dealing with. Do not recommend at all."


"This worked as birth control but it made me break out with the worst acne I've ever had all over my face."


"Where do I start, I got the nexplanon 68mg implant put in on 13 January 2014 6 months after having my daughter, at first it was ok although I did bleed for the first few months, then my period stopped, I started to have mood swings and when I say mood swings I was evil, would probably say physchotic, I attacked my partner something I am not proud of I hate violence, then the acne, the daily headaches and I mean daily I have yet to remember when I didn't wake up with a migraine, my teenage son says I am so moody and all I do is shout, also the weight gain, as I said at first it was fine then the weight started piling on I have gained over 3 stone on this and I have not changed my lifestyle or eating habits all it is horrible avoid!"


"Easy method reliable.
Increased back pain, mood swings, no sex drive at all, weight gain and hard to shift even with controlled eating and 5 days gym training. Good for 6 months then constant bleeding. Always tired, early removal and most things have changed for the better but the withdrawal on it (only 1 week) causing depression for no reason even with no history of it before considering 90% of my life is perfect"


"Ambien works. Not because it's a sleep aid but because it's a HYPNOTIC.  Which means if you don't want amnesia then get yourself straight to bed after taking it.  It kicks in in 5-10 mins and may or may not keep you asleep all night.

But those of you complaining of eating, etc and having no memory of what you did is very simple: taking a HYPNOTIC while you're still up and showering or whatever is going to make you do stupid things you won't remember. Just take it AFTER you lay down, turn off your phone, and you'll be fine."

"I was very worried to start birth control for the first time, I've heard so many bad symptoms about it. Especially about this birth control pill. However, to my surprise, I never had any symptoms whatsoever. I have been on the pill for about six months, and I don't feel a thing. My face cleared up, (I have moderate acne) and my breasts grew. (GOOD thing) no vaginal dryness, no mood swings, my sex drive is the same. I get cramps but nothing Advil can't fix."


"I started originally on Tri-Sprintec for about 3 months, which I believe is the generic of Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I was an emotional wreck, so my doctor switched me to Apri. I had absolutely NO symptoms whatsoever. I actually lost weight! Didn't increase my bra size, which could have been from the losing weight part. My acne cleared up within 2 months of starting Apri. It made my period so regular that I knew to the day down to the hour that I would start my period, with absolutely no spotting in between periods. I didn't really notice any changes in my sex drive. Overall, I would strongly recommend this pill!"


"I lost 8 lbs in 7 days but by the time I upped the pen to the middle dose I had no appetite and even when I tried to eat I gagged.  I had to drink Boost to get something in me and was very weak, shakey and my heart was racing.  I waited about a month and tried again planning to stick just to the lowest dose.  By day 7 I had lost another 5 lbs and again was weak, and could hardly eat.  Started having stomach cramping as well.  I will not take this no matter how bad I want to loose weight or control my type 2 diabetes."


"Works great for deep vein thrombosis! However, I always experience heavy bruising at the injection site."


"I took it for 5 days 30mg and have never felt so sick. The first day I was crippled with diarrhea and a headache which continued to the following day. I then got a tightness in my throats and couldn't stop yawning. I stopped eating due to the nausea.The headache didn't go away and by day 3 was joined by an earache and sweating. Yesterday was the worst. All of I sudden my vision became blurry and I couldn't talk properly. It was terrifying. Like my brain stopped working. I couldn't drive and was so dizzy I kept falling over. I stopped immediately and now have to wait 3 days for it to leave my system. I still feel horrendous and I still can't see properly."


"64 years old, have occasionally had cold sore on the right corner of my mouth, once on my right nostril, my wife has had it since she's a child, also on her lips, neither one of us gets it on our genitals. Starting to take L-Lysine 1000mg a day and have still had a few outbreaks but they have been less severe, when they occur I am also taking a prescription of Valtrex. When I have the outbreak I am increasing the L-Lysine dose to 1000mg in the morning and the same at night. One of the side effects is  good skin! I had a few bumps on my face that seem to be clearing up or going away. I wish I would have known about L-Lysine when I was a kid because it could be good for acne."


"I am a physician and I started Crestor 5 mg since 1 year and after 6 months my cardiologist increase the dose to 10 mg once daily Liver enzymes were ok However, I have suffered of severe pain at my upper back muscles and this pain was persistent and not relived by rest I got the feeling that with any minor exercise all my muscles start to be so painful and aching. I have red all your reviews below and I decided to lower the dose and take Crestor every other day and I will see If the pain will disappear or not and I will discuss that as well with my cardiologist."


"**PLEASE READ**

if you love or care for yourself, EVEN THE TINIEST BIT, please do not put your body through this. This has been the absolute worst pain i have ever endured down there. It feels as if hell had broke loose inside my vagina. it felt like someone had heated up a metal rod to 394802387483 degreed and shoved it inside of me. Horrible."


"This has been effective in controlling my blood sugar, but I have a terrible problem trying to lose weight. I gained 20 pounds in less than 6 months."


"Got it for flight phobia and even I hate medication but this is the best ever. I am so calm before and during the flight and all I take is a quarter. I even looked out of the window and found it pretty. Without this medication I would never do it."


"Not only did it not help with migraines, it made me gain 40 pounds."


"FINALLY! It is relieving to see positive comments after finding nothing but negative remarks. I recently got the Mirena and yes, I have experienced a few side effects.
However, from what I understand they are nothing out of the ordinary. I am not overly excited about the acne or the nausea, but I think the key for MOST of us that have recently had the Mirena inserted is to give your body time to adjust. Hopefully the majority of us will have a positive experience. One thing to keep in mind: It is possible to experience side effects with most medications. That doesn't make it a horrible drug for all."


"This medication demolished my libido.  Two weeks after stopping it, my libido is back to normal now."


"Got on retinol because of acne scars. I was hesitant in the beginning because everyone complains about how it makes acne worse before it gets better. My advice to you is start out slowly and allow your skin to adjust. I started off with using it once a week..and gradually moved on to 3 times and I have not experienced purging.Also my skins pretty smooth and my scars are fading. Another thing...just use vaseline as a moisturizer...why should you bother your skin with extra chemicals? Also be wary of doctors who just hand you the retinol with no proper instructions. I researched extensively before buying the product and to my surprise the doctor couldn't even advise that only a pea-size amount is to be used. Patience pays people :)"


"I've been on the shot since January and today is my 1st time bleeding. I've been on and off of it for over 14 years and have never had bleeding while on. After getting off at times I've had constant abnormal bleeding until period regulated again."


"53 yr female, started using Detrol LA 4 mg approximately 2.5 yrs ago. Also tried Enablex and Vesicare.  Insurance company dropped Enablex and now is dropping Detrol.  Main side-effects are constipation, headache, dry mouth.  Headache goes away after a few days.  Have gradually decreased dosage to 1/2 capsule daily, then 1/2 capsule 2-3x per week. This has relieved side-effects and am still pain-free.  Hoping to get off medication entirely eventually."


"I never thought of myself as fat but chunky I might say. Well I am overweight at 5"5 198lbs. So I started on Belviq six months ago and felt it was pricey 155.00 after the 75.00 discount. Well I have lost 35 pounds and now get it for 75.00 per month as my insurance does not cover this easy to use medicine. I had a little dry mouth but otherwise nothing to really not as a bad side effect. My overall health is much improved as well as my confidence."


"I took the medicine for the first time last night 4/2/16, I was given the medication because I had an allergic reaction to Topamax. Amerge made me really sleepy, a little dizzy, draining ears and really bad heartburn. I'm not pleased with having these side effects especially not the nasty heartburn or the draining ears which are very itchy.  The medication did work for me but I can't give it a 10 star due to the side effects. I'm not so sure that I would take this on a regular basis. If I do, I'm definitely going to take Zantac prior to taking the medication."


"Didn't do anything for me"


"Does little to nothing."


"I'm white male, 53 yrs old, 5'11" and 185 lbs. I just discovered that I had High Blood Pressure about a month ago during a wellness checkup. The nurse took my blood pressure 4 times on the right arm and 3 more on the left. I was running about 180 /120. After she told me that she'd seen 400 lb men with better numbers than that I decided to see my MD. I've been on Micardis almost 30 days and it seems to have lowered it to the 140/90 range. I also was put on Bystolic just 5 days ago due to a rapid pulse of 100 bpm. Now down to 75-80. The only side effects have been occasional dizziness and some sharp pain in my hip when I move just so. I did have a scary tightening of the chest and shortness of breath the other day. It seemed to pass in about 2 mins."


"I have extreme nausea a few days before and during my period. I tried so many things but nothing worked. My gyn wrote me a script for 550 mg of naproxen twice daily and I took it 3 days before my period and during my period. It worked!! I feel 100% better than the previous month."


"This gel is so effective that I don't need to take ibuprofen anymore. Very soothing, quick acting, long lasting, pleasant smell that soon dissipates."


"I've been on the pill for about 6 months and I've had so severe issues or complaint about this birth control. I am 22 and this was my first birth control taken and prescribed by my gyno.

I had no weight gain because I was more conscious of my cravings and I didn't binge upon them. It's always about perception and if you're going to act upon all these desires to eat, clearly you will gain a significant amount of weight. My sex drive remained the same and I'm still very sexually aroused. One obvious side effect that was prevalent would ultimately be my mood swings. I would easily turn super sensitive or get extremely irate if my boyfriend would do something or say something that made me unhappy.

Other than that, I highly recommend Aviane."


"I was diagnosed as bipolar type II and my nurse practitioner in WA prescribed me abilify and I gained 30lb within a month of taking it. I blew up like a balloon and he said he doesn't have that side effect. I looked online and it says that it clearly does. He said to take it a few more weeks and see how I did. I gained ten more pounds and my mother insisted I stop taking it. I went from 148 to 188lb. It may have started helped with my symptoms but I was to concerned about my weight gain so he finally put me on Topamax."


"I have been using Seasonique for 2 years now and after the first year I have had no problems other than some spotting when I forget to take the pill on time. If you push through the first year of nausea, mood swings, and some dryness during sex, it mulls over and the pill really is great once your body is adjusted."


"Hey, I'm 18 years old and have been struggling with acne since I was 10. When I first started tretinoin, my skin broke out and was peeling for about a week or two. I started seeing a lot of improvement by the end of the first month. I've been on tretinoin for almost two months now and have barely any acne. Only one noticiable pimple next to my nose. I still have a few tiny white bumps along my hairline, but I'm sure they will go away with time. One thing I have to say is DON'T use more than a pea sized amount. If you use more than that, it dries your skin out and it peels even more, especially around the mouth area. I wish you good luck and I hope you achieve the same results as me."


"Well I have been on my period for almost three weeks now. And I have asked a lot of people if they have it and they said yes. But I don't like it BC I feel like I'm as big as a cow"


"I got the kyleena on May 22nd, right before school had ended. I'm 18 years old and I had been on the pills for a while, they worked. The thing with them though, I had 3 periods while taking them. That's besides the point. The placing only felt like cramps, but I'm not the type to have cramps while being on my monthly. Now, I'm cramping a lot! Well, I have had the kyleena for a month and some days and I have bled everyday. Like currently it's actually a lot of bleeding. When I first got it that day it was just spotting, now I'm bleeding a lot everyday. I don't really like this. My partner can feel the threads that hang out, he said it doesn't hurt through. I don't think I'd recommend this to others. I mean unless you're willing to bleed."


"I am a 24 year old male and have semi oil skin. Never had acne until after high school around 20 years old so I guess you can call it adult acne.
Anyway, I was dealing with cystic acne on my chin, cheeks, jawline and even some times on my nose. It was considered mild-moderate but still very uncomfortable coming from 20 years of a completely clear face. I would have anywhere from 6-8 decently sized cysts on my face at any given time. For almost 5 years I tried everything all sorts of washes and crap I read online which none worked. Finally went to a derm 3 months ago and got Bactrim 800-160 within a week my acne cleared and has been 99.9% gone ever since taking it twice a day every day."


"I got my first shot in June and at first had my normal 5 day period but in July I started bleeding again and been bleeding since. I got my second shot in August and that didn't help. I'm still bleeding and having migraines that I never had before and its October. "


"I had the Mirena for 2.5 years and just had it removed as I couldn't take the non-stop bleeding and migraine headaches anymore. The bleeding has already stopped and the pelvic tightness has already eased. I've had virtually no sex drive for a long time but didn't make the association until I started doing more research. I am 47 and got it for heavy periods and cramping but wish I had done something else. It just wasn't worth the misery of the past two years."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD in 8th grade and put on 20mg of Concerta which has since risen to 54mg extended release in the day and 10mg immediate release in the evening for when I do my homework. At first the medicine was great- it allowed me to focus and my grades went up significantly. However over the past year or so I have been experiencing negative side effects such as depression, headaches, and loss of appetite. I can manage the headaches and appetite problems but as for the depression, it is so bad that I am considering switching to another brand or changing my dose because when I am on Concerta I become virtually emotionless, and as a result I am struggling to maintain good relationships with my friends and family members."


"I am in my mid 40s and got tinnitus. I mostly got used to the ringing in my ears, it was much like after a loud concert how your ears kind of ring for the night. Sometimes the volume gets louder when I'm stressed out or not feeling well so I thought I would try lipoflavonoid and I've only been taking it for 20 days but I feel like the volume in my ears has doubled it doesn't make me feel bad in any other way but the volume is so loud now. I'm going to finish the 30 days and if it's still like this I'm getting my money back. Very unsure on how well this product actually works."


"Never used it, try to activate saving card online, near to impossible, call customer service number, nasty representative, and after an hour of trying to activate it card was expired, funny thing card was dated to expire 6 months later, hahahah what a joke."


"Helps with migraines when Imitrex fails.  I have to eat before taking a dose or it will make me nauseous."


"I got my Nexplanon implant inserted February 29th 2016. It is now July 31st 2016. I have been spotting this entire time, and I still get my very heavy monthly. I have maybe gotten a 1 week break TOTAL over the months I've had this in. I can definitely say that Nexplanon IS indeed effective... Since it seems to be eliminating the chances of getting pregnant at the source, not being able to have sex. I already have mood disorders that this birth control makes 100x worse. I tend to find myself crying & getting irritated over absolutely nothing. It has also effected my appitite, I eat WAYY less than I used to, and in smaller amounts (which is not good for someone who is already weighing in at 93lbs due to a thyroid issue)...It's coming out ASAP"


"I've had acne for nearly three years. I tried everything Clearsil, Proactive EVERYTHING, nothing worked. I finally went to the doctors and he put me on 50mg of doxycycline a day for 6 months. I'm 2 months in and have seen some very up and down results. Within the first week my skin had gone completely smooth, I still had acne but nothing was raised, within two weeks no new acne seemed to be appearing and by third week 70% of my scarring had disappeared. One month in my acne came back with a vengeance along the side of my face and all down my neck. Now at the two month mark, my acne is about 80% gone and could not be happier. Word of advice be patient and expect it to get worse before it gets better. I suffered really bad nausea also."


"< 1% of Study patients complained of hallucinations. But I guess I am in that 1%. I had to get off it after the 3rd dosed. Otherwise it was a fantastic drug."


"I was prescribed Zyprexa to treat my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  I will say that my OCD behaviors were considerably helped, but the side effects were far too great for me.  Thankfully I'm a teacher and it was summer vacation because I couldn't wake up before 1pm (granted, I do tend to sleep late in the summer, but not that late), and when I could finally pull myself out of bed, all I would be able to do until around 7pm was lie on the couch with the posture of overcooked spaghetti, except when I was eating non-stop.  The cravings were insatiable.  I've always been very thin, but in that one summer I gained around 20 pounds.  I had to switch medicines."


"I never new life could feel so good. I wish I had this 20 years ago things would have been so different, and my husbands life would have been much easier."


"Zoloft helped me a lot, perhaps I will sound cliche but for me it is really a miracle. I always had problems being in society of other people, on parties I always felt uneasy and tensed, in some way inferior. Zoloft changed that, also my mood swings became less, my anxiety is almost gone."


"I've been taking saphris 10mg twice a day for over a year. It has helped me tremendously. I no longer hear 9 voices, down to 2 voices that are quiet. I do not get dizzy or tired on it as well. It has given me clarity and rest from voices. It has been good for me so far, so grateful. I no longer have anxiety as well."


"I  have fibromyalgia and severe arthritis in my back.  Woke up in so much pain today and I don't have time for that because I have to attend a Christmas Party.  I took 600 mg of Motrin and an Ultram.  Had no idea Ultram could help with back!  I had a 12 on a scale of 1-10 for pain. Thank you makers of Ultram - I can go to my husband's Christmas Party now!"


"Save yourselves the pain of this horrible product. The discomfort I felt before I took this does not compare to the pain I felt after I inserted into the vagina. It felt like somebody spread my legs apart and poured lava into my cervix!  I would never wish this pain onto anybody much less my worst enemy. One time is a accident multiple complaints about the pain and burning from this monistat one. I am surprised that they haven't been sued. This should be pulled from shelves! Just go to the doctor and get some cream. Just say heck no to this egg. I should have read reviews beforehand. I don't think they should have this being sold. I have never felt this pain in my life and I birthed three children naturally. Never again would I use this."


"Effexor is amazing. I have PTSD and cyclothemia.  I went through therapy and then added this years later.  I am stronger, enjoy life and I actually have a better sex life cuz I'm in a better mood and can feel emotionally what I need to.

For the women out there: I tried to push past the numbness and I can now can achieve full multiple orgasms. There's away if you are determined enough.

Best of luck to everyone trying hard to maintain a peaceful life full of hope and self love."


"I have been taking this birth control for four months now. The first was the worst, I was irritable, frequently sad, lethargic and just overall moody. It cleared up my face and didn't change much in the way of flow on my period but, did make them shorter. My sex drive has also decreased as well as my eating habits. I find myself less hungry but, my breasts have grown in size. Now four months later I've been spotting non-stop for the past two weeks and my face is breaking out in acne that rests under the skin. Going to change my prescription soon but, for awhile it was definitely tolerable."


"It worked really well for me but unfortunately I got some very bad side effects and had to stop taking Jalyn.  Side effects included severe leg cramps and joint pain."


"I'm a 19 year old female who has now been on Topamax for 6 weeks, 150mg daily. I have a daily headache that ranges from pain threshold of 1 to 5, plus nausea, with a haze over my brain which slows down capability and causes general fatigue. Every 3 weeks this works its way up until a major migraine attack of a 9. But with Topamax the daily headache so far has reduced to a 1/2.
"


"It helped tremendously with my depression but do not use if you're a woman.

It causes total numbness of the clitoris. My gynecologist told me to stop taking it."


"For the past 12 months I have had one bout of sinusitis after another then got influenza.  I literally could not leave the house more than once a day for less than an hour without becoming totally fatigued.  My GP did not know what to do but finally suggested BREO.  I hesitantly agreed then quickly became a supporter of this inhaler.  My energy level returned to normal despite marginally improved pulmonary functions.

This is my 4th month on BREO, and I have isolated a few side effects: hoarseness & mouth tenderness (both despite rinsing immediately after taking the med) and worsening of GI symptoms.  Like others, I am using the coupon from the mfg, or this drug would be too expensive for me. I have a few months to consider next steps."


"IQ of 130 but troubled emotional status. Wide range of problems extending from Paranoia Anxiety Anger Delusion Bitterness Depression to Suicidial.

Had 3 major Bipolar Attacks in 2008 2010 and 2012. Successful career hit the bottom in all these attacks.

Lamictak is the greatest drug for me it most literally SAVED MY LIFE

I am using around 125mg daily and I know how I am. Before using this drug I really never did !!

If you have similar symptoms never hesitate. Give it a TRY for sure."


"I used this medicine everyday for sixteen yrs. It didn't really help that much with pain but it took me out of reality so I didn't care if I was in pain. Not an addicting feeling, so when I stopped it cold turkey when I moved to a different state I didn't feel sick for not having it."


"I was diagnosed with GAD (general anxiety disorder) I was previously on cipralex and felt like a zombie taking it. I didn't want to take it anymore so my doctor prescribed me celexa about a month ago.

I have a bit of a hard time sleeping, tossing and turning but overall I do get my rest.

I feel drowsy after the first few hours of taking it. Little bit irritable sometimes, short of patience. Over all I'm not overthinking at night anymore, not stressing nearly as much and actually have motivation to do the things I want to."


"I've taken Risperdal for about 6 years to deal with depression and suicidal/self-injurous thoughts. It works very well for this. The only problem is that it does cause very severe weight gain, to the point where if I consume less than 1,400 calories a day I STILL gain weight. I have recently started taking Topamax to offset this, so hopefully this will help. But it does help immensely with problematic thoughts and I notice a huge difference in my state of mind and overall well being when I take Risperdal. Additionally it offers the great benefit of helping me fall asleep, which is great as a long-time insomniac. Overall a great drug, just some problematic side effects."


"I've been on this for a little over 2 years. I was very emotionally unstable before, and asked to be switched to one that doesn't alter moods so they chose this one. My period comes the same time every month and no more cramps! I had terrible cramps the whole first day I started, no matter what I did. Now they're nonexistent!  And I finally feel like myself again. I recently gained weight but not due to the birth control. It's a great choice for me!!"


"I've was on Nexplanon for about 4 months before switching to an IUD (wanted a longer option).

The best thing about an arm implant or IUD is that you don't have to take a pill everyday. There's no missed doses; these birth control methods have a 99.9% effective rate for a reason lol. It's convenient and YOU can choose how long it stays in your body.

Here's my experience with Nexplanon:

No periods, no cramping.

I do have more breakouts but use a sulfur and charcoal treatment along with a spinbrush to combat acne.

My appetite has decreased significantly which has resulted in weight loss (so happy).

Frequent headaches.

More energy.

I would recommend it. If I wanted something more short term I would've stuck with it."


"I first experienced gout 22 years ago in one of my big toes.  Suffered through that attack and a few years later I experienced a few more attacks.  Eventually went to a doctor and was diagnosed as gout.  As the years passed, I had attacks in various joints.  I would get pain in one ankle, then it would move to the other ankle or one of my knees.  The pain would luckily ocate in only one joint at a time.  In the fall of 2014, I had an attack so bad on my knee that image repeated trips to the medical clinic and received shots of Decadron and prednisone packs for treatment.  The pain would go away only to return 2-3 weeks later.  Made 4 total visits during that period.  Just yesterday, I had to go back for treatment from an acute attack."


"I use 100mg once a day to control anxiety. It works well. People at work have noticed I am much calmer at work."


"Just finished 3 days of this for a UTI and though it has worked for the condition I feel terrible ! Feel like I have no energy and like I'm going to pass out. Whole body aches ! Just phoned my chemist who told me this was quite common on this tablet and I should feel normal in a few days. Shame it's my wedding anniversary today as I just want to go to sleep all day. Won't take this one again it's not worth it."


"This works very well. I have nerve damage in my leg and it makes it where I can actually work I take 3 x 7.5's a day. Without it I couldn't even work. The side effects aren't great."


"I've been on belviq now for 46 days. My weight was 168 now I'm down to 154. My side effects are headaches(some days)and at times my upper body gets real hot! I gained weight from hypothyroidism. My normal weight is 142-145. I only take one pill a day. And it really crushes my appetite. But I do eat clean and it don't take much to get me full. I'm satisfied with the pill. It's the only thing that helped me to get my weight back under control. It is very difficult to lose weight when u have thyroid problems"


"Caught my strep on day 1. Was prescribed penicillin 500mg originally 4x daily for 10 days. After two days of antibiotic treatment, my symptoms worsened resulting in a second visit back to the ER in severe stomach pain since I was taking penicillin, Tylenol and Advil on an empty stomach due to not being able to swallow even my saliva. The doctor gave me a steroid called decatrum via IV followed by a pain medicine via IV. The steroid gave me immediate relieve within an hour helping the swelling down. Afterwards, he discharged me and sent me home with Amox-clav 875 and Tylenol 3 with Codeine for pain. The amox-clav was directed to take twice daily for fivedays. I'm onmy second doseand I feel a majordifference but severestomachache constipation"


"I tried this medicine a day after I vomited three times and had that nausea feeling and that next day I vomited once in the morning but when I went to the medical centre they gave me the prescription for phenergan. I fell asleep instantly for two hours and a half and woke up refreshed and my stomach did not hurt for the rest of the day and I didn't vomit ever since. It's the best medicine for nausea and vomiting."


"I am a research scientist and am very knowledgeable on insulin devices and diabetes
1. I got diarrhea a lot and for an extended time

2. About 12% of the pens shipped do not work. ExpressScripts refuses to replace defective pens.

3. My A1c levels began to climb linearly as soon as this drug replaced original therapy; i.e. Drug failure."


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


"I have lost 50 pounds in three months. Strict diet and excercise."


"I have been taking Alli for approximately 2 weeks now. I weighed in and seemed to have gained weight. I am 5'1 ,158 lbs starting weight. I now weigh 166 lbs. I try to watch what i eat but have a very hard time. this product is recommended for those with excellent self control. i do however know that the product is working as they say it will due to the change in bowel movements."


"It has helped to lower blood pressure, but over the year + I've been taking it, I've experienced a 40 pound weight gain, severe pain in joints, muscles in legs and feet, ache in leg bones, tingling in hands and feet, very stuffy sinuses - very swollen, difficulty getting to sleep and/or staying asleep, general weakness and sluggishness, sometimes extreme exhaustion. Seeing Dr this week, hoping we can find a better solution."


"I've been on Cymbalta for 2 days and it is great.  My daily high anxiety is completely diminished.  I can make decisions without anxiety.  I am having trouble with sleepiness however, I know this will subside.  I got back on antidepressants because I've had a tough time dealing with moms death in May and currently going through divorce."


"Diagnosed with PCOS at 22. Had not had a period in about a year. Gained about 30 pounds in six months. Started metformin
And started period six weeks later. No weight loss yet, but also no weight gain. Taking metformin at night 1500mg. Found out better to take in the evening with meals."


"I'm a 46 year old female and have been on spironolactone for 2 years for high blood pressure.  After a year and a half my doctor took me off for a couple of months as I had great blood pressure and he thought with my avid exercising and diet changes I'd be able to regulate it myself.  My blood pressure immediately shot up to dangerous levels and I had to be back on Spironolactone immediately which also immediately took my blood pressure back down to safe levels.  Unless something else comes along, I guess I'm on it for life.  I count my blessings, it does it's job and with only two noticeable side-effects for me both negative and positive:  slight drowsiness and keeps any water retention at bay (which I had a problem with previously)."


"Definite pain relief (shoulder arthritis and rotator cuff separation)."


"My doctor prescribed me this pill because I have been diagnosed with PCOS. Sometimes I get stomach aches and it makes my boobs hurt, but other than that, no mood swings, and I've actually lost weight. Although everyone's bodies are different, I'd recommend this pill to anyone thinking of going on birth control for the first time."


"I am 20 and have always had anxiety about BC and not trusting that it is working (I could always use it exactly like I'm supposed to and would still make myself sick over if I was pregnant or not) this has definitely lessened that feeling!! If your like me I always Google my symptoms to see if anyone else is feeling it too so let me tell you.. I've had it for about 3 months now, and things are a little rough. I've been bleeding almost everyday since I got it.. Except for those first few weeks. But it's only minor spotting. My first period was just like normal (only 4-5 days too) and my second and third has been a little wonky. (Not on time) but I'm holding out that it'll get better! I wish you all luck!!!"


"I would recommend this to anyone wanting to control hormones. I was very depressed, anxious, gained a lot of weight due to constant cravings.
It's good for acne, my face was clear as it was with Yaz. I had to get my insurance to prior authorize this only to have bad side effects. Was on this for approx 8 months and gained 20 pounds from not wanting to leave the couch and bad depression/anxiety. I thought it was something else until I stopped taking it. I can't take generics, always a problem. I'm going back on Yaz, was never an issue for me, even lost weight."


"Works well."


"Well I was just prescribed Flexeril yeaterday for the pain I was experiencing from a L5-S1 herniated disc & Sciatica. It made me feel like a zombie about an hour & 1/2 after taking it. I took a shower and after getting out I had no strength in my arms or legs. Dry mouth & lower leg pains when laying in bed later. It did help with the pain but will be taking but 1/2 a pill AS NEEDED vs the 1-10 mg 3xs daily."


"Had it placed May 2015, minimal pain - a pinch and a menstrual-type cramp, and it was done! I had it removed July 2016. During those 14 months, I had no period whatsoever. No cramps, no PMS, no spotting. Never a discomfort at all! So why did I take it out? Within 3 weeks of insertion, I gained 12 pounds. My GYN said it had nothing to do with the mirena, I "just wasn't being honest" with myself about my food intake. The weight gain continued about 5 months and topped out at 35 pounds. I was exercising and monitoring my calories this whole time. My PCP put me on meds to lose weight, to no avail. It finally dawned on me that it must be the mirena, despite what my GYN says!! Had it not been for the weight gain, I would have kept mirena forever."


"I was questioning taking this birth control after reading all the reviews. I'm going onto my 3rd month. The first month my period lasted about 2 weeks but after that the monthly cycles where super light only 3 days and always on time. Everyone's body is different. I didn't experience any low sex drive, spotting or mood changes. I did notice a slight weight gain but Overall, I'm pleased with the birth control."


"DONT USE THE CREAM UNLESS YOU WANT TO BURN!

The suppository is amazing, it has been clearing everything up great! I got my period the day I started using it, so things have been a bit messy but other than that it's amazing!!

However right after putting the cream on after taking a shower and laying in bed the burning started, I've been a bit red and irritated down there(from all the wiping...) so I figured it would help with that and the YI, but oh lord was I wrong. It's hell. I had to go to the bathroom and take another shower just to get it to stop burning. Never use the cream."


"I'm a 44 year old diabetic and Dr perscribed Testim 1% gel to treat my Low T level. It was not his 1st choice but my Insurance wouldn't pay for anything else. It came in a box With 30 individual 5g small tubes. The first thing I noticed, right away, was the pungent smell that did not go away when the product evaporated.  My wife noticed it and my drycleaner too, who all found it unpleasant. Also, product goes on slimey but drys after about 5 minutes but, If you sweat, it will get slimey & your clothes stick. After 2 weeks, I noticed an increase in energy levels and felt better in general.  However, I (nor my family), could not get past the pungent smell.  I stopped using this product after about 3 weeks and will ask my Dr to change."


"I have been on Xanax for 15 years I'm only 30 years old. While this is a miracle drug for pulling you out of a panic attack and preventing them. This medicine works extremely well for my anxiety that said it can cause a very nasty dependence and addiction where you will need larger and larger doses to combat this rebound anxiety (this is what the Dr call it). It's your brain screaming for more of the drug, this is not only a mental dependency but also a very strong physical one. If you are thinking about taking Xanax remember less is more the less you take the better it works. It has become part of my daily meds 2 mg 3 to 4 times a day and that's coming from being on the max dose legally available 10 mg daily you don't want that. Use Caution"


"I have had Nexplanon for about a year now. I got it since I can't remember to take the pill. I have gained 20lbs, I haven't had a period since my daughter was born last July (2014) and I get headaches everyday , depressed moods and get angry very quickly, which is unlike me. I am always hungry. I had to go on an antidepressant to calm my depression down. Only pro is I haven't gotten pregnant."


"I also take cafergot but it was taken off the market here too in Australia, but a compound pharmacy will make it up. I've found that it works well, I've tried the newer drugs but cafergot, with stemetll for nausea and phenergan works. It does knock me out but I used to have to go to hospital and be put on a drip for up to a week at a time. My insurance used to cover the cost but now it's been taken off the government pharmaceutical scheme I have to pay full price of about $70 for 60 tablets."


"It does as it should: it prevents pregnancy.  Other than that I've gained weight and struggled to lose (still haven't and still struggling). My mood swings are awful. I bleed for up to two weeks at a time, although no cramps. My sleep pattern is erratic and I wake for two hours nightly and almost always lethargic and no energy or motivation. My appetite is ferocious. I also lost my sex drive which negated its purpose. I've since had the coil put in and awaiting to see if things will improve."


"This is day two of taking 20mg twice daily of geodon. So far I yawn a lot and could fall asleep about 30 mins to an hour after taking it. That I really hate, because I was already always exhausted to begin with BUT I will say I have noticed I'm a lot less paranoid and can actually walk slowly without thinking im being chased, it is rather pleasant, now when I see or hear things I know its just my head and can leave it be and not go into paranoid mode, I really hope the sleepiness subsides"


"I get depressed, had low energy and serious sexual side effects, Prozac is better tolerated"


"Lunesta...way better than Ambien.  Ambient made me crazy, memory loss. Both in same class but Lunesta is my BUTTERFLY!  A little melatonin. Great sleep..saved me. Oh and 1mg of Klonopin."


"I've had nexplanon for a year, and it has been great for me! Everyone definitely reacts differently to the implant. I don't have spotting in between periods, and my periods are pretty much the same as they always have been. I may have had some slight weight gain, but nothing significant all of my clothes still fit. I was so scared after reading a lot of reviews, but I have had a positive experience"


"I had infected wisdom tooth. the doctor prescribed flagyl 400mg thrice a day and it works. I'm on day 3rd over 5 days, the inflammation and pain stopped within 48 hours but the headache is constant, and I'm feeling tired. like I wanted to go to bed just after I wake up. I am so confuse if I should continue it or not. I'm taking the ibuprofen and paracetamol now not because of the toothache but because of the headache im getting from flagyl. it is effective but i really hope the manufacturers would come up for an upgraded version with less side effects"


"Helps with hot flashes and night sweats but I've put on 8 pounds- in 3 weeks - freaking me out anyone else having this issue? I'm hoping it will level out and I'll go back to my normal weight, I'm small framed person and never had this happen so quickly- nothing fits me!"


"When I first started I had to take a blood test and low and behold the reason I had gained weight was my thyroid was not normal ( explains the gobs of hair falling out too) that 1st week I took both pills and it was seriously the worst week my body has ever put me through! Which I'm positive it was the thyroid meds but it made me an absolute wreck! I have now lost 15 lbs in a month and a half! I run on the treadmill everyday and well my eating is minimum which it has been like that since before this. The adipex makes me feel normal again easier to focus and at normal energy levels which I'm sure the thyroid meds are helping that along too. All & all completely worth it but make sure you have a complete blood test done before you take it!"


"I am a 25 year old female. I'm 5'8" and weighed 240lbs at my heaviest. I tried Qsymia after it was recommended by a family member who has lost 40 lbs on it and I have been on it for exactly a week now. I'm combining it with The 17 Day Diet by Dr. Mike Moreno, which is low fat, low carb, low sugar, and I'm happy to say that somehow in one week I've lost 14 pounds. I know it's mostly water weight but I feel good and I can actually tell that the pill makes me not crave food or feel hungry throughout the day like I used to be, which makes following the diet so much easier. I would recommend Qsymia to anyone. Only side effect is a little lightheadedness the first day or two."


"Hair loss, bloating, headache, night sweats, stretch marks on inner thighs and increased frequency on bowel motion."


"After reading the reviews of Pristiq, I am amazed at the number of people that have had the DNA test and end up on Pristiq. When I took the DNA test, Pristiq was the "only" antidepressant found suitable for me. I have been on several antidepressants one being Prozac that worked very well for me for years with no noticeable side effects. I began to wonder why Prozac was in the list of antidepressants NOT to use when it had worked so well for me?

I took the Pristiq for a few days and the side effects were so horrendous that I had to discontinue. The cost is also prohibitive for some people. My co-pay with insurance was about $300.  I have a very dim view of the drug and the DNA test that shows only Pristiq as suitable for my gene makeup!"


"I found Xanax to be the only thing to help me."


"Tamiflu is a miracle drug - as long as you get it early enough. I've used it twice now in 12 years and within 24 hours I was almost good as new.  I can't say enough good things about it."


"Only thing that works for me."


"So I had two totally different experiences on this pill. The first month of taking it, I got a horrible yeast infection that would not go away then a bacterial one. After another month I was finally able to get rid of it, even though I don't think it's 100% related but some odd coincidence just happened to start as soon as I started lolo.

The second time I restarted the pill I had extreme mood swings. And I mean EXTREME. I was crying nearly everyday. I didn't want to eat, get out of bed, or even talk to anyone. I felt distant from everyone and everything and it was all around awful. I'm currently only two days off of it, and I feel drastically different. Almost back to who I was before.

For me, it's not the best option."


"Have had acne since football as a young teen and used everything resulting useless till sampled Aczone at 23yrs of age. Apply at night after Panoxyl wash typically where I shave face and neck. Magic"


"For acute tooth pain - Vicodin is the drug of choice. After having my wisdom teeth taken out, it worked great for my pain. I only had a popsicle afterwards and did not experience any nausea."


"I've been on diazepam for years. At first I thought it was the wonder drug.
It worked quickly and the relief was amazing. I suffered from anxiety, panic attacks and generalized depression for years prior.
But then the wonder drug stopped working -  just like that , immediately - all the benefits I came to trust disappeared. I was left in the same state as before taking.
I should mention that the med stopped working after only a very brief period, perhaps months. However my doctor continues to prescribe, why I don't know.  I rarely take it any more, but when I do, hoping for the same relief initially felt - nothing!!!
Only advise I can offer is; if it works for you, great BUT don't think it is the cure, at least not long term."


"I used this product and it rearly killed me.. is extremely dangerous combined with other medications and was banned for a reason. Now left with severe inflammation and nerve damage. Wish I'd researched further not just product reviews which are only positive.  Please please ask your Dr first or research. Wish I had...."


"I had mild panic attack disorder. I started taking the pill and there was a very light headache the first week that went away. I also woke up twice in the first two weeks feeling nausea, but I put up with it. Now I feel fine and I'm a lot happier. I don't like taking pills but my doctor thinks I should stay on it for at least one year."


"I had this inserted a week ago. I understand this is different for everyone but my cramps were pretty severe. By the next day I was fine. However, for birth control to last 5 years, I would do it again."
