"I'm, 20, been on the patch for almost a year. I switched to the Xulane patch after taking birth control pills got annoying. This works great for me, periods are regular, light, little to no cramping and no pregnancy. I am getting a little annoyed with switching it every week, but other than that it works well. I have had no problems with it sticking and staying stuck all week. I have not been swimming with it on and only takes baths when i am not wearing it."


"A horror show! My bacteria infection cleared up but each day I felt perpetual nauseousness. I was constantly dizzy and for the first time in my life I think I understand what vertigo and dying feels like. I had so many mood swings I put bi-polar patients, menopausal women, and overly induced hormonal teenage girls to shame. It was bitter experience to the point I felt incredibly emotional but dead inside at the same time. I was constantly mad at my significant other for no apparent reason and tried to call the relationship off until I realized after the medication wore off, I still very much cared for him. Medication worked but would be better used as a lesson to teach abstinence to prevent ever having sex. That's how I got the infection."


"Good pain relief but not long lasting. Doc switched me to a new one Exalgo not bad but not as good so far in long lasting 24hr dose."


"Started off really well, 4 - 5 months down the line, have started to binge now and again but desire to purge is much less than before, only twice in 3 months."


"At the age of 70, I can go back to interval training and my stomach has got flatter and my energy increased by 60% since taking Cymbalta. A true miracle. No pain at all whereas, I could barely walk six weeks ago."


"I was given the once daily trial package of 5mg Cialis. I have read several comments on the number of days taking it before it works. I have been taking it for 5 days now and I have not noticed any effects from it at all. With help from my wife I have only been able to achieve about a 50% erection for some time and after 5 days of Cialis use I cannot notice any difference. I will take it for another two days and if it doesn't start working I will try another brand of medication. I must say I am very disappointed after reading so many positive reviews. Glad I didn't spend the $400 plus for the ten 20mg pills the doctor prescribed. If the daily use didn't work, I doubt the as needed will work either."


"If I could rate this birth control a zero I would. This birth control RUINED my life.  I only had it for two months and a year and half later I still have a severe panic disorder, hypoglycemia and IBS and I was 100% healthy before this birth control. I can't drive, work, take my kids to the doctor, grocery, NOTHING. I'm a prisoner in my own home because of this birth control. I had people warn me and I didn't listen. Please don't take this birth control! I regret it whole heartedly. I just want my life back!"


"I've tried prozac, effexor, welbutrin and buspar. Cymbalta is the only med that makes me feel normal and cures my anxiety with no noticeable side effects. There is a withdrawal if I miss a dose and it involves being very sleepy,  vivid dreams and night sweats. It's not fun, but it's worth feeling normal again."


"I thought Zyrtec (cetirizine) was great at first because it worked so well on my allergies. I have gained 15 pounds over 1-1/2 years. I didn't think it was related to Zyrtec, but recently figured out that it is. I am an extremely healthy eater (no processed foods or white flours/sugars), a runner and triathlete without weight issues before Zyrtec. I attributed the weight gain to age, hormones and finally my thyroid. Blood tests ruled out the hormone and thyroid issues. I only take HRT & Zyrtec. I stopped Zyrtec 3 days ago and have lost 2 pounds without any changes in diet. I am willing to suffer with allergy symptoms if I can lose this weight."

"I lost my brother to Xanax- know the side effects before you start on this deadly drug.  It is lethal - my brother started having serious side effects from this drug - suicidal side effects- he ended up jumping of a 163 foot bridge.  I warn everyone out there to educate yourself on this drug before taking it."


"My very first time to try this medication . I thought I was gonna die ! I took it last night at 7:00pm  went to bed by 10:00 pm and I was fine. I woke up at 6:00am and I went straight to the bathroom had a bad diarrhea plus vomiting . Had to drive to work with major diziziness. And had no appetite at all. I felt so weak. I was thinking maybe it needs more time and to be more patient. Till around mid day today I had to leave work because I was so nauseous that I can't function. I called my doc and she told me to stop taking it! This medication is definitely not for me. I've tried a lot of anti depressants like this one !!!! "


"I've had acne for years... this is the only medicine that works.  Weird thing is, new dermatologist tried to talk me out of it, but wouldn't tell me why.  I basically told her that if she didn't want to prescribe it, I would just go back to the doctor who did.  At 41 years old, I know what works for me. Another interesting side effect - I used to get ear infections and strep throat on a regular basis until starting this... haven't had either in years !"


"I am a 20 year old man, going to university and had or still have troubles concentrating with my ADHD, mostly staying on one subject. Started taking Dexedrine, first it made me restless and gave lots of anxiety. Could not hold up a normal conversation or sit still, it made me feel uncomfortable. Then tried Concerta it was effective somewhat but did not help as much as I had hoped, could not notice much of a effect. Ritalin gives me the concentration when I need it most. "


"I have been using differin for the last five months and have seen no difference"


"I too get bronchitis every year when the weather changes, and I swear by Z-packs.  It is also wonderful for strep throat. Yes, diarrhea is a side effect of nearly all antibiotics but I tell ya, I'd rather perch on the toilet than cough until I bust blood vessels in my eyes.
"


"I've had an amazing experience with Meloxicam. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 2 years ago by a rheumatologist. He told me to go home, hire a maid, quit my job and buy a hot tub.  I did eventually quit my job, but the pain simply got worse.

Enter a neurologist who gave me Cymbalta, which for me was a miracle. It took away about 70% of my pain, but I was still suffering.

Enter yet another Rheumy, who put me on Meloxicam. It's been amazing and has taken away quite a bit of the left over pain from Cymbalta.

It's not perfect and I'm not sure that ALONE it would do as much for me, but in combination with Cymbalta, it's been phenomenal."


"I have advanced osteoarthritis, disc degenerative disease, foraminal stenosis and central stenosis. In additon, I have had two back surgeries in the last year. I have to take a higher dosage (60mg twice a day) but it allows me to function in a reasonable manner. Without it the pain is excrutiating. Now I can exercise and move."


"I started at 100mg and the first few weeks I felt really amazing for the first time in my life. After the fourth week or so, I switched to the 150mg because I had found that the initial euphoria had worn off and I thought that it had lost its efficacy. The higher dose was too strong for me so I switched back and have been on the 100mg since. I do not have the same dark cycles that I used to, and though I still feel depressed at times, it is not nearly as often as before, and the episodes are manageable. I am not feeling chronic hopelessness nor paranoid or defensive. It does not feel like I am 'medicated' while on this. I am not experiencing many side effects (just more intense dreams, and some minor constipation)."


"I have generalized anxiety disorder and several other mental illnesses, so I am on a combination of medications. Xanax is one of the best of the bunch. I only get fifteen 0.5mg pills per month, for use only in stressful situations. Works like a charm every time. Within fifteen minutes my anxiety and panic symptoms are well under control. No side effects whatsoever. I know the danger of addiction is very real, but as long as I use my Xanax sparingly, I see no reason to ever stop taking it. I also take Tenormin, Neurontin, Ambien, Buspar, and Remeron."


"Within 24 hours of using the NuvaRing, I had severe stomach pain and dizziness that would not seem to go away. I took the NuvaRing out and now I've had unbearable headaches. NuvaRing was definitely not for me."


"I've been on seasonale just over a month now and I can say it really has had little to no side effects for me which has been really great!! I had break through Bleeding the day after I had missed a pill which was my own fault but it stopped as soon as I took one that day. If I noticed any crazy side effects surface I would definitely stop it asap but as of right now it seems to be working very well for me. :)"


"I have only been on it for about 4 days. I noticed I have been feeling dizzy. Not sure whats causing it. I take Tradjenta with Metformin. I am hoping this medicine works but saw something if your planning on becoming pregnant not to take it. Some days I wonder if insulin would be better."


"I was prescribed OxyContin 30 mg 4 X daily and eventually it didn't work so well as when I first started taking it. I took my left over OxyContin pills to my physician who then prescribed me 40 mg Opana ER (yellow octagonal shape). It works so much better than OxyContin and the pain relief lasts longer. There is no "high" associated with Opana ER. I have several painful medical conditions after being injured at work and some years later was involved in a near fatal car wreck. Opana ER is a wonderful medication. The only drawback is that is does take about an hour to start working well. The pain relief lasts about 8 hours. I highly recommend speaking to your physician about Opana ER if continuous pain relief is needed."


"Been a smoker for 40  years.  Started Chantix January 1.  I also have the slight dry mouth.  My cigarette craving has gone down, my time between smokes is becoming more.  Maybe those of us that are finally trying this are on to  something.  Good luck to all."


"I had the most horrible case of a bronchial infection. I was sick for almost a week. I went to the doctor, I was prescribed a 250mg Z-pack. I began to feel better on the second day, which is where I am now. I am beginning to cough up some phlegm that was making my chest feels so very tight.so far I am not experiencing any side effects. I do take it during a midday snack. I have rated it a 10 so far based on my personal experience. I just hope it clears this completely up."


"After having trouble with the first birth control I tried, I switched to Mononessa and have been on it for 3 years! I love it and it's been a really easy birth control to take, so much so that one pharmacy didn't have it so I switched pharmacies. I can't remember any adverse side effects and I will continue to take this birth control"


"I've had mirena for over a month (inserted 7 weeks ago). I was worried about insertion, but honestly did not feel a thing. I spotted for about a month, 10 of those days I needed more than a panty liner. Since then spotting has stopped and husband cannot feel strings at all."


"This was the 5th med I tried for anxiety/depression and it changed my life.  After only a week or so, I laughed again.  It gave me my life back.  Had to ween off, for about a year no insurance and it's kinda expensive.  Serzone, then nefazodone, was a miracle for me.  No side effects except a little nausea in the morning if I didn't eat something first, then that went away."


"27 year old, male. Been taking 5mg for just over a week now my blood pressure has gone from 180/110 to 125/85 and I'm feeling so much better.  Very happy with this, so far no side effects I'm aware of."


"I was diagnosed with BV last week. I was given the 7 day treatment, 1 pill twice a day with or without food. I take it right before I eat or right after I eat. No alcohol. I started the pill the same day my period started since that's when I was given my antibiotics. Now that my period is done I notice that I no longer have a fishy smell and I don't have the thick pasty looking discharge. I haven't experienced any sickness. Just makes my head feel a little funny at times. Since I can't swallow pills I have to open the capsule and the powder inside taste bad but I take it with orange juice so it's not so bad and then drink water after. I'm hoping this takes it away completely and it doesn't come back."


"I'm Classic IBS - C. Haven't had a normal bowel movement in years. I have tried everything and have seen leading specialists in Los Angeles. I've tried soluble fiber, gluten free, FODMAPS, stool softeners, drugs such as bentyl, desipramine...nothing works. A leading specialist at UCLA prescribed Linzess. I started with the 145mg dose - nada - then went to 290 and it was a storm!!! The first time I took it I thought I would have to go to the ER I was so sick. After a taking it for a few months the pain got less, but it still gives me explosive, violent diarrhea that can last up to 3 to 4 hours. I take it about twice a week, it's the lesser of two evils theory. I take it at bed time and if I'm lucky I wake around 4 am and go until about 7."


"Effexor stopped my panic attacks almost completely.  It's also great for post-menopausal hot flashes.  Like others said, you can't miss a dose, but other than that it's amazing.  A total life-changer."


"Flexeril and Percocet are the only medicines that help me out of pain with a herniated L5 dics and a pinched nerve."


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


"I just had emergency gallbladder removal surgery. When I woke up from general anesthesia I was given a Dilaudid i.v. The pain was still there. I begged and begged for a higher dose but was not given one. Throughout the night and next day the moment the Dilaudid was injected in the i.v I would vomit. I had to keep my eyes closed for most of the morning. Even with anti-nausea injections the Dilaudid had me vomiting. In regards to the pain it lasted only about 2 hours and then the pain was back. I had them stop administering it to me."


"I'll keep this short.  I have taken Tri Lo Sprintec, Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and Velivet (in that order).  Although my experience with Velivet was not as bad as with Ortho Tri Cyclen, it wasn't great.

Pros: I lost weight, very regular periods, effective as birth control.

Cons: Velivet completely killed my sex drive.  Not only that, it turned me into a nervous wreck - and I am usually a pretty calm person.  I was constantly worried about the way others perceived me, what my boyfriend *really* thought about me (believe me ladies, he is not a master of subtlety... there was no reason for me to be feeling this way), etc.  "


"I was in a severe ATV accident when I was 15 (am now 18), and have currently had 26 surgeries mostly on my right hand. Once I was released a few months later, docs basically turned me from a 3 sport athlete to a living zombie. I was taking over 25-30 different medications everyday; mostly pain meds. I remember just poping them like candy. I was on 80mg of MS Contin x4 a day, 30mg oxycodone x5, 30mg morphine x3, 100mcg's fentanyl, 2mg Xanax x3, 4mg x4 Dilaudid and numerous other anti-depressants that I am still on to this day. I don't understand how doctors can prescribe such obscene amounts of opiates when it's pharmastists who study drug interactions as their profession. Am currently working to become a 3 fingered anesthesiologist :)"


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

"I have only been on Tri-Sprintec for 20 days now so I am trying to give it a little longer, as I know it takes a while for your body to regulate it. However, it is very hard. I went from being very happy to depressed and moody within a week of starting it. I now have very little patience, which makes me feel terrible, especially because I have a dog and work with children and I want to be patient with them. I also have had an increase in acne since starting it. Painful cramps (which is why this was prescribed to me in the first place--to eliminate cramps) and weight gain. The worst part is that I have had a full period for 20 days straight, not just spotting. This pill is negatively effecting my life and my relationship. I hate it."


"I took Livalo 2mg every other day for 2 weeks total of 5 pills now I  have neck and shoulder pain with stiffness, ankles, knees weak,  with hip pain.  I have been on other statins with muscle pains, but this is the worse.  I have not taken any more Livalo in 4 days. Some muscle pains are better but the neck and shoulder are the worst today.  I am tired of trying statins.   I am done !!!!"


"It numbs the pain. It makes my ear feel heavier - but at least the throbbing subsides. I always feel drowsy after the dosage. With an ear infection - sleeping is good!"


"I have been on the NuvaRing for 4 months and I love it! I haven't had a single problem with it. It never comes out or moves at all during sex or anytime. I had a lot of problems with the mirena before so I switched to the Nuvaring and I'm so glad that I did. It also increased my breast size and I won't complain about that!"


"I quit smoking the day I started taking zyban and within 2 weeks I had no desire for smoking. I used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day for over 20 years. It has been 3 years that I quit smoking."


"Dulera works great and I have noticed it has improved my breathing by 100%. It seems to work better than my rescue inhaler. Down side of it is that I have gotten infections in the tonsils and sinusitis. Also I've been having blood clots in my mucus and when I cough I phlegm I notice it's a dark brown reddish color. Frequent migraines and insomnia some nights.  Feeling of unconsciousness when laying down."


"Good for breakthrough pain..take 7 of the 30mg a day and use 2-75mcg of the Fentanyl Patches as well for Extended Relief. It has been my best regimen so far and I've tried a lot of different kinds and combination to ease my pain. It's hard though because you can tell how much it helps when you miss a pill."


"I am a 29 year old Arab-American with stage 1 hypertension. My mom has high blood pressure and my grandma had it also. I have been on Bystolic for 1 week and my blood pressure has gone from 130/100 to 120/80. I hope it continues. So far so good."


"This really is a life saver. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have cripling morning sickness. So bad that I could not eat or drink anything for over a week. As soon as I took one pill I became 100000000 times better. I would recommend this pill to anyone. I love it. 10 out of 10 in my book."


"25yr. Female. I started taking 10mg of Celexa after experiencing severe depression. I was having harmful thoughts, insomnia and anxiety in all aspects of life. I finally succumbed to the fact, I needed to take medication because therapy, exercise, positive thoughts and other outlets were not working. The first few weeks sucked. I had severe insomnia, couldn't eat and felt ramped up and clenched my teeth when I did sleep. I never had the zombie experience though. But a few weeks later, the world seemed more clear & happy. Celexa did nothing for my anxiety, I had to add Klonopin, but it worked for my mood swings and depression. I would go on it again if I had to. Just remember everyone has different brain chemistry."


"Have been on Lexapro and Xanax for a year and a half but still had problems with feeling angry, irritated and on edge all the time. This works great. My kids don't have to walk on eggshells anymore."


"It's very effective!!! I don't have a problem with heavy bleeding or bleeding for long periods of time. I do have back pains, mood swings,and a lump in my left breast. I have gained 30 pounds and my hair is shedding!!!!!! I can't want to get this removed!!!! I have never had a weight problem."


"I had been taking brintellix for a few months. 20Mg and it was working great. I have pretty severe depression and everyone said they saw a positive change in me. But it started making my stomach hurt, I told the dr and we decided it was worth the stomach ache because it was really helping. When I started throwing up and feeling nauseous 24/7 I had to stop it. Been off for a couple weeks and still feel very sick."


"Helps a great deal with daytime sleepiness, which I had all my adult life until Dexedrine. No side effects at 5 to 7.5 mg a day. At 10 mg sometimes anxiety or tension, but not always. No rebound effect or depression if I stop taking it. Not the dangerous drug some people would have you think."


"Please take time to read this. Accutane was 100% effective for me but you really have to be prepared for it. I took Accutane for 8 months- 40mg then 20mg then 10mg. The reason I am mentioning this is that I noticed that people start at very high doses. So if you are worried (and I recommend), take it slow and start at a lower dose. Accutane has a lot of side effects (the severity depends on numerous factors including dosage). My side effects included mood swings and dry skin (especially lips). I used to cry on the smallest things ever and I got sad very easily. It got better with time but please be well-prepared. You really have to make priorities and ask yourself if it is worth it and if you are able to handle it. I chose Accutane :)"


"I love this birth control. I switched from Lo loestrin FE because I would get two periods on that (one in week 2 of active pills and one during the placebos) and my doctor said I needed to up my estrogen dose. I was so nervous to start this because of various negative reviews, but I'm almost finished with my first pack and I've had no horrible side effects at all. The first week there was mild bloating and I've had breast tenderness (more than usual) but other than that it's regulated my bleeding and I've gotten no other side effects! Give this pill a chance!"


"I had the Kyleena inserted almost 2 months ago and I have spotted every single day since. Some days I may spot a few hrs and it'll stop, some days it's all day but very light. Right before my cycle came on, my spotting was red instead of pink and it became a little more than I had been having. My cycle wasn't heavy, I felt great and it lasted 3 days vs 6 days before the IUD. I use to have body aches and cramping, almost like labor some days. It was awful. I just hope that the spotting will go away soon as it says. I watched a youtube video where a woman said that she spotted almost a year on and off and her periods didn't change at all. I hope mine will stop but I'll take 3 lights days as well. Good luck everyone!"


"I have had the implant in for 6 years now. I am due to have my 3rd implant this month. For the first few years I rarely had a period. But now I have one every few months but very light and painless. After they are put in there is some bruising but nothing to worry about. Its the best contraceptive I have been on and I plan on sticking with it."


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


"With Treximet I found relief was within an hour and if I had a bad migraine and took a second one after one hour it was gone.  In the past, my severe Migraines could last on and off for 3-5 days at its worst.  Side effect is heartburn.  I want to thank my Pharmacist for telling me about the drug. I had to ask my doctor about it and then she gave me a sample.  I only wish the pill wasn't so big."


"Vyvanse is not like any other ADHD med out there. It is better! a lot better! I does not matter how much Vyvanse you take, your body will not let the amphetamine level go any higher than it can process it. This gives you control. Vyvanse is a spark, it lets you chose what to focus on, rather than make you hyper and euphoric like other ADHD meds do. Why it does not work for some people? Because most people fail to use ADHD meds accordingly! No med is a "magic bullet." For those of us who actually have ADHD and have tried absolutely everything (healthy diet, good night sleep, exercise, multivitamins etc.), Vyvanse is the "missing piece to the puzzle!"


"I'm a 45 yr old female, 5'6" tall, and my starting weight was 220 when I weighed in at the doctor's office on August 31st. I have some health concerns that lead my doctor to prescribe this for me. My doctor helped to administer the first dose so I would know what to do the next day.
I felt okay the first 2 days with little side effects. The 3rd day I couldn't stand the smell of bacon. Who doesn't like the smell of bacon? This girl now! The 4th day I threw up my morning coffee and meds. I have been experiencing constipation as well. I am currently on 1.2mg and on day 9. I've lost 5 lbs so far so I'll keep dealing with the side effects. I did start to inject at night to help with the nausea. I am very hopeful this medication will do the job!"


"I had toe nail fungus for 40 years. The left middle toe was the worst.  The rest toe nails all had fungus, but mild.   Nothing worked for me in the past, probably due to lack of persistence, because It is hard to apply medication everyday continuously for 1 year without noticing a difference, so you just give up.    I tried Jublia.  I noticed an improvement on one nail 3 weeks after I started.  This got me very motivated.  I started taking pictures everyday, and filed the nails to make them as thin as possible.  I never missed a dose.  Nine toe nails showed visible improvement after 2 months.  Finally the left middle toe showed an improvement in 5 months.  After 11 months, all toes were cleared. Yay....  I used 3 bottles of Jublia."


"I was diagnosed with simple partial epilepsy 14 months ago and I have been on lamictal ever since. It stopped my seizures. However, it is making my life a living hell. I go through these wierd deja vu episodes. I have headaches. I get dizzy. I forget things. Everyday things and very important things. I have trouble concentrating. It is a living hell. I would rather have seizures."


"Only started using a couple of days ago and I can already notice a difference. Luckily its covered on our NHS. "


"I was on Suboxone for the past 5+ years, first on the original,orange, stop sign shaped pills(2years), then switched to the Suboxone Strips for the past 3&1/2 years, but recently had to change to Zubsolv, due to my insurance no longer covering any other form of buprenorphine, other than Zubsolv. At first, I was very nervous about it, since I was taking 24mg per day of the strips & the Zubsolv equivalent was only 17.1mg per day(3- 5.7/1.4mg Tablets). I decided to just keep an open mind & not get to caught up in the different mg totals, since Zubsolv is better absorbed. It took a few days to get used to, but I honestly can't tell any difference, other than taste "


"I was given Gildesse to help control my ovarian cysts. BIG MISTAKE! I have gained wieght, feel depressed and tired and when I do have periods now they are horrible, painful,and really heavy. They will last indefinitely too. I have bled for over 30 days.

I thought this was just my perimenopause but after reading everyone's reviews I felt I had the same symptoms as them and felt obligated to share."


"I have been on Adipex for almost two years. When they say it not a such thing as a  miracle pill they haven't tried this. 10 pounds from my goal of losing 150 pounds. My weight loss has slowed down a bit but as long as the numbers go down and not up, I'm still happy.  I did experience extremely dry mouth, dizziness and loss of appetite for the first two months.. BUT IT WAS WORTH EVERY BIT. Now I'm starting to have sleeping problems which I don't like. I am very scared if I stop taking it I'm going to gain my Weight back. "


"I took Chantix for the prescribed 12 weeks and have not smoked one cigarette since I quit. I won't lie and say it has not been hard and I still think about cigarettes occasionally, however, this is the sixth time I have quit smoking and this it the only time it has worked for longer than a couple of days. The worst side effects I experienced was nausea, especially if you don't eat with it and strange dreams. I was smoking in every dream too, weird."


"I was originally prescribed this medication (it's called zaldiar where I live but is the same as Ultracet) when I got shingles and it helped a lot.  I've since continued to take it since I was also diagnosed with RA as it works incredibly well for me. It means the difference between controlling my pain sufficiently I can keep working, and being almost unable to function. It helps with both the pain and fatigue I feel -- when I first started to take it the effect was so profound I felt as though I was back to "normal me". I'm now taking 2 tablets twice a day and that's sufficient to keep everything under control most days. If I need to I can take them 3-4 times a day but that's rare for me unless I'm having a major RA flare."


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


"I notice that my daughter was having problems in fifth grade would not sit still and would always be getting up to throw paper out and would know who was the last one that went to the restroom.  I spoke to the teacher and told them to please evaluate my daughter cause it seems like she has ADHD. They said she was fine. When I started to see her grades they were dropping. I immediately took her to Miami Children's Hospital to the neurologist and they tested her, filled out some papers and yes she was has ADHD.  I've tried Concerta, Strattera, Vyvanse and Adderall but the best medicine that has worked for my daughter is Intuniv!  She had all F's and now 15 years old and first year of high school she has all A's and B's. Thank you Intuniv!!!"


"I have a hard time staying asleep.  This drug has worked wonders. I sleep through the night and no hangover effects like I experienced with Ambien.  I wake up refreshed and ready to start a new day."


"I had many side effects- including, hot flashes, confusion, stomach problems, vaginal dryness, tired easily and bone weakening.  On the bright side-I have had no recurrence and it is now 12 years since my diagnosis with lymph node involvement."


"Omg!!! So I went and bought the 3 day and as soon as I inserted it started this intense itching and burning I can't even describe the feeling I had. I have never felt this type of uncomfortableness in my life..I  didn't even want to lay down, I honestly thought I was having a bad reaction to the cream. It was so awful.Thankfully an hour later it finally went away. I'm only on my first night.."


"I have been on Losartan for 4 months now at 25mg per day. The stuff is better than Viagra and my blood pressure is under control. My kidney doctor put me on Losartan for high protein in the urine and stage 1 kidney failure. I've been treated for Lupus for 35 years now and Losartan is not so bad in comparison to other medicine I've experienced. I understand everyone is different but in my opinion it has the best side effect ever."


"I had a strange skin infection in my earlobe-- it was swollen, red, hot, and incredibly painful. I was first prescribed a different anti-biotic that did not help and in fact made the infection grow in size. After just 24 hours my ear was less swollen and my symptoms have only improved. I am not finished with the prescription yet but it is so great to finally have some relief."


"I've been on Depo for 6 months now, it's almost time to get my third shot. After my very first shot I had no bleeding at all for two months, just random cramps that were kind of annoying. Then at the third month I spotted very lightly for a week, then bled normal for about a week, then bled really really heavy for a few days. Then it stopped and I got my second shot. Two and a half months with no bleeding after the second one, then spotted lightly for over a week and no heavy bleeding. It seems to get better so I can't wait for the bleeding to stop completely. Also the only other side effect I have noticed is increased nervousness/anxiety. I have had a few anxiety attacks at night and I thought I was having a heart attack but it was nothing."


"I hate this pill. It's made me moody, I've gained 20 pounds, I constantly feel like I'm furious with everyone, it's given me consistent headaches and my doctor told me to at least give it a try for 3 months. It's been 4 months and I have found nothing but problems with this pill. I feel like one minute I'm horribly depressed and the next I want to choke someone. I won't be going back to that doctor. At this point I wish they'd just rip out my ovaries before I do it myself because this birth control is the absolute worst I've ever been on in the last ten years."


"no more swollen feet and ankles"


"Inserted 3/2015. Removed 9/2015 after 6 months of weight gain, extreme cystic acne and body acne, exhaustion. Smelly discharge, spotting. Yeast infections. I hated Mirena!"


"This is a fantastic medicine if you suffer from classic migraine with aura.  I take it as soon as I feel a migraine coming, and Zipsor stops the migraine in 15 minutes (at the longest 30 mins). It does not leave me in a weird fog like Zomig or Imitrex.  Zomig is a wonderful alternative to Triptans."


"I wanted to try Kyleena because I have had a horrible reaction to the pill. (Weight gain, constant nausea, swollen breasts, headaches) I am 22, and have never had kids. The insertion wasn't all that bad, it hurt like absolute hell for 10 seconds, and then it was over. (I did take 800 milligrams of ibuprofen before hand) The first week, I felt great! I didn't really spot. I had very light cramping, and it was effective immediately (so worry free sex, yay!) Within the second week I unfortunately had to get it removed. I started having horrendous cramps. They were so bad I debated on going to the ER. I made an appointment with my Gyno, and turns out that the IUD shifted WAY out of place. I really sucks because I was super stoked to have this."


"Immediately following my very last period I started having severe hot flashes. So bad that they made me jump out of bed. Changes clothes or I'd start freezing, even in mid summer.
So started low dose Prempro. It took about 5 days to start helping. After taking it for about 8 months it stopped working. I even tried taking it twice a day a couple times thinking the dose was to low but still no help. So now Im going to go to another different doctor to see what else can be done to prevent my misery. Also want to mention that since menopause, I have zero Interest in sexual relations with my husband.
I just wondered if anyone else has had this medication work then stop all together? Thank you for reading my story. I sure hope to find something"


"I've had a very difficult time with it, I suppose it's working well but the side effects are very severe. I am unable to function, the depression is unbearable and the nausea and confusion render me useless.

Every time I have to take the pill I break down in tears. I haven't taken it in weeks, I'd prefer dying."


"It helps with the cough but gave me uncontrollable diarrhea. I wouldn't recommend this product"


"My doctor prescribed Nucynta about a month ago. At first I didn't notice a change to my sciatic nerve pain. He explained that the drug will improve the longer I continue on it. He was right and now I am feeling so much better. Just came back from a walk. I wish all of you a pain free life!!"


"This was my first birth control. Each time I was going to try something new (Trinessa, Nuvaring, and now Ocella) I was really nervous because of the reviews. But if it helps, I did pretty well with Trinessa. No bad side effects except for when I would miss one and double up, it inevitably meant throwing up without notice and that's why I switched to Nuvaring. But obviously, I shouldn't have been missing pills to begin with. I'm on Ocella now and I've never missed one, so I don't know if it's that I'm sensitive to nausea with doubling up, or if it was the Trinessa."


"I loved this birth control, my first go round! Off of it for a year then back on it for 6 months. Off it again because it started giving me horrible sinus infections (is a stated side effect). Wish it didn't since its the perfect birth control. Just didn't work out for me. Definitely would recommend!"


"One day after the first injection I could tell a difference - no start up pain.  The injections were painless.   The doc put a cold numbing substance on the skin and when he injected it I couldn't even feel it.  I had my last injection this morning, equally painless (the PA did it this time).  I still have a lot of stiffness and am hoping now that I have all 3 to see some relief in the next few weeks."


"I recently had to change brands since I can no longer purchase medicines from my pain management doctor.  I ended up with Carico brand 10/325 and don't know why I feel such a bad bellyache from them. Overall, they do help with pain but this particular brand makes me very nauseated."


"Incredible results. I have recently developed horrible fall allergies with the whole - sneezing, runny/stuff nose, watery/itchy eyes, cough, fatigue and everything else. I would need a new tissue every 5 minutes. I took one Xyzal at 5 PM on Tuesday and it cleared every single thing up. It didn't begin to fade until 12 AM on Wednesday. I absolutely love this little pill."


"Effexor has helped me, but it took weeks for the initial side effects to go down enough for me to be comfortable. I could hardly eat and sleep for a week. It got better over time, but it was painfully slow and after a few weeks on the stuff, I was exhausted. The side effects never went away completely but I can manage to eat and sleep enough now. Effexor also makes me have really intense, long, complex dreams. They are usually quite interesting and I enjoy having them for the most part. Sometimes its hard getting back to the real world after having woken up with such interesting stories and intricating plotlines in my head, but its worth it in my opinion. Life is more manageable now."


"It made me 95% pain free for 15 years. Unfortunately it's effectiveness diminished over the years and I had to switch to another drug."


"I was prescribed Effexor for anxiety and depression and  while it does work in some ways, it is not worth it. I was taking 75 mg once a day and it seemed to make me feel calmer and a little more at ease at first, but the side effects made me decide to stop it, and coming off was terrible. My side effects were inability to get any good sleep, taking forever to climax during sex, and never being able to get anything done. The overall feeling I felt was that everything just seemed blunted. Once I stopped the withdrawals were horrible. I felt hungover for about 4 days. In addition to that during the withdrawal time I would sometimes feel like I could just explode and punch a hole in the wall for no reason. Would never try again."


"This medicine stops the diverticulitis infection quickly.  The side effects are very minor compared to the pain of diverticulitits.  I never know when I might have a flare up and since I travel, I need to carry this medicine with me just in case."


"Propananol has changed my life!!! Literally...... I didn't realise I was suffering from daily anxiety.  I was due to be interviewed for a great new job but was not going to turn up due to uncontrollable feelings if anxiety.   I decided to speak to my doctor the week before the interview as the anxiety attacks were ruining my life.  After discussing all my symptoms she suggested a course of propananol (40mg) to be taken either 1-2 times a day or just when I know I would be in a difficult situation. I decided to take them twice a day. Wow...,after one dose I felt amazing.  I thought I would never feel this good. I have no anxious feelings whatsoever, even when public speaking. The interview went exceptionally well and I got the job "


"I've been taking Focalin XR for the past 6 years and it worked well. This past year it hasn't worked for as long as it used to. It wears off about 1."


"I initially got put on this birth control because of having hormonal acne around my chin and jawline. I was told it could take around 3 months to start seeing any positive changes, I really havent noticed any change in my acne at all, I'm still getting pimples on my chin, maybe not as many cystic ones that for sure, they're more superficial. However I must say I haven't experienced any bad side effects at all. I was thinking it was going to make me moody and stuff. I got switched to Tri-lo sprintec because I was told it could help more with acne, we will see how that goes."


"Okay so I read a shit ton of whore stories and was terrified. DO NOT BE. It only felt like a cramp. The worst part was the first one they put in was a defective iud, but the second one was fine. No pain no nothing."


"Been on this for 3 months. I'm 20 years old and was put on this due to: Ovarian cysts, acne, incredibly painful/irregular & as future birth control method.

It didn't seem to do anything other than make me hungry, achey, & VERY VERY tired. My period is still irregular & painful. My face hasn't cleared up. I definitely experience spotting a week before the brown pills. I BARELY bleed or not at all on the brown pills which makes me nervous for when I do start to have sex and would like reassurance that i'm not pregnant.

I go back to the doctor this week, i'm definitely switching to a different birth control! Something to get rid of my acne, my painful periods & something that will regulate them!"


"Well I've been trying to lose weight since I gave birth to my son 14 yrs ago. And my new years resolution was to lose weight, and I was give Adipex by my doctor. I started on my diet Jan.2008. I weighed 210 lbs. And now with eating healthly and exercise I weigh about 180 lbs. I lost 30 pounds and I'm very happy with myself and thankful for my family and friends with all their support."


"Feeling fantastic, like myself again. Wanted to say I have not gained weight, in fact, I have LOST WEIGHT with this drug. My appetite increased but I needed it. I liked to skip breakfast and lunch most days to "lose weight". I only kept the fat on. With this newfound energy im experiencing Im more active and burning more calories. My increased appetite has prompted me to eat regular healthy meals and my metabolism has skyrocketed! Im burning fat and building muscle. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents. Alot of people gained weight, I have not. If you watch what you eat and your portion size, plus exercise regularly you shouldnt see an unwanted weight gain with this drug."


"My pyschiatrist put me on Duloxetine 30 mg. in the beginning of 2 weeks my appetite decreased and also I felt more worsening of depression. It took me 4 weeks to actually kick in this medication and I am improving day by day now. I am more social and enjoying my life. I want to say to all of u is that take this medication time. It takes time to actually kick in and also side effects will go away. Thank you Cymbalta"


"Three bouts of bronchitis in six months and two trips to the emergency room and I decided to stop this medicine. Anxiety and depression from the start. I saw some clearing at first but then it leveled off and I  just couldn't take the side affects anymore."


"I've taken Adipex about 3-4 different years in my life for short periods of time. Dr.s recommend only use for 3 months. The first time I took it in 2007 I was 180 lbs and I got down to 140 lbs the weight fell off I went on subway diet! My point is not really the weight loss. I noticed pain in my right side under my ribs. I just brushed it off. I had a baby in Dec 2008 and tried it again, lost some weight had pain again still dismissed it as nothing. A month ago April 2013 my Dr put me on it because I had been taking a medication that made me gain weight. I lost 21 pounds in 3 weeks, which was great but now for the problem. Fat goes through your gallbladder. I lost weight too fast and lost my gallbladder. Be careful if feel pain get help."


"In November 2012, After 4 years of unbearable symptoms (dizziness, headaches, facial neuralgia, sweats, spikes in blood pressure, ataxia, feeling like I was about to have a seizure) from about 5 times a week to 4 times a day and with medical investigations exhausted I decided it was time to try an SSRI.

I had always insisted my symptoms caused my anxiety; not the other way round.  Because of this, I put off taking the medication for about 2 years.

I started on November 30th on 10mg.   Felt slightly odd the next day but immediately noticed the anxiety was lessened.  After 7 days I went onto 20mg/day.  Things just got better and better.  I'm still on the same dose now (Sept 2013).  For me it has been fantastic. I'm pretty much 100% my old self."


"Works great. No running for the toilet or staying home and waiting. Go about your business. "

"I have been on Loestrin 24 for about 5 and a half months.  For the first 2 months, it was horrible.  I was bleeding consistently for like 20 days in a row and the bleeding would only stop for a few days every couple weeks. I was extremely moody and angry and I did gain a little bit of weight.  Also, my acne went away slightly but nothing dramatic.  On about the 3rd month on the pill, my period FINALLY started getting normal.  The breakthrough bleeding stopped and my period is now very very light and not painful.  I get breakouts and breast tenderness the week before my period, but it's not bad at all.  My advice to those who just started: WAIT IT OUT. It's incredibly frustrating, but it takes a little bit of time for your body to adjust!"


"Just thought I'd add another review for this pill. I'm on week 6 of microgestin and it seems to be working fine. I haven't had any extreme side effects so far. I was pretty moody a couple weeks ago, experienced some light bleeding for a couple of days, and my face has broken out- but not too badly. Overall it seems to be working just fine and the side effects are manageable. My period is usually very regular and I haven't gotten it yet since starting the pill- but then again, my periods are always very light and only last about 3 days anyway."


"After 4 months on Letrazole, I felt like an old crock, in pain everywhere, barely able to move, depressed, not sleeping well and developing carpal tunnel syndrome. I've gone off it ready to try something else and after only a week, nearly all the pain and stiffness is gone. I'm sleeping well and have a sense of wellbeing. Letrazole stole my quality of life and I'm glad I discovered it after not too long. Let's hope other drugs are better tolerated, but if not, I'd rather have quality of life than quantity of pain."


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

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


"Just got prescribed busbar I take 30mg x2 daily (60mg) I'm 26 suffer from panic attacks and ptsd. For the short time I been on the medication it seems to cut the edge when taken with xanax 1mg 3x a day. Hope to the person reading this it will help. Panic can ruin live's an it's crazy to see so many doctors on negative about benzos. "


"This medicine is great for sleep and helping anxiety, but if you have responsibilities, work, school, kids, ANYTHING, then be prepared. I am only on 100mg and although I feel calmer and not so irritable, I just feel sort of dozed and no motivation to do anything, not even simple things like taking a shower or making something to eat.  I woke up this morning needing to go to the bathroom and it seemed like an overwhelming task and I was stumbling around like when you are drunk.  If you don't have to work or answer to anyone then it's fine because you can just space out and not have such negative emotions and feel better."


"Used for over 37 years"


"I've had it for 6 days. I don't have kids, am young compared to most users, and have a tilted uterus. I chose not to use the numbing shot, because my doctor said the needle would hurt just as bad as the insertion. I took 400mg of ibuprofen, 1 hour before the insertion. It hurt but only for about 20 seconds. I had a kind of reverse contractions for 2 hours. I was directed to take 800mg of ibuprofen. I suggest going #2 before the insertion, since it's very painful to do so after. Since insertion I've had minor spotting, and very little pain. Do not use a tampon, it's so painful to remove. (I use a diva cup when I go out) Don't be scared off by all of the horrible reviews, most people only write a review when something goes wrong."


"I was on tamixifen for 5 years- It drove me into severe depression-I was delusional to the point of being in a psychiatric hospital for 1 year-no doctor at the time could find out why I was as I was! I had water retention-weight gain of 25 kilos, Fluid on my lungs-which caused coughing to the point I felt I was suffocating-insomnia, joint pain, nausea and hot flushes and to crown it all skin disorders of which the rash and sores made me look like I had HIV.

Bicarbonate of Soda and Lemons and ginger have improved my health!"


"Tofranil is THE medicine to take for Panic Disorder. I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder recently, and I was a complete mess. Depressed, suicidal, anxious, the works. My primary care Dr. gave me Xanax. The Xanax helped, but only for short spurts. It also made me more depressed. I was taking up to 3 mg per day, and barely functioning. I got in to see a Psychiatrist, and he is older and more experienced. He immediately knew I had Panic Disorder, and started me on Tofranil. Tofranil absolutely stopped the panic attacks cold. I have been able to cut the Xanax way back, and feel, dare I say, normal. Tofranil is an old medicine, so many docs don't or won't try it. Newer is not always better."


"I came here to United States 2004, I was 140lbs height 5.8. 30 yrs old almost 9 yrs weight 176lbs I went to my doctor for a check up. Part of my history is diabetes and high blood pressure so I ask my doctor what else can I do other than diet. I start taking phentermine March of 2013 the very 1st day I took 37.5mg I feel like I can't stop working. I'm so focused, so fast I get done everything at work in no time I sweat a lot and had a dry mouth. I ate small portion of breakfast drink plenty of water no soda. No caffeine I ate yogurt for lunch and fruit in between for a week I lost nearly 7lbs. No workout or anything like that I keep taking it for a month, I lost 12lbs, my goal was 145 to 150 for 90 days taking it. I lost 25lbs after 90 days."


"I have been using Victoza now for two years. I lost two stone and my blood sugars are stable now. Wonder medicine!"


"The only downside is it costs $3 a month, but that's OK.

Australian government won't make it free."


"It did do okay for my seizures but I ended up with so many of the side effects it was unbelievable. They had to take me off I still have seizures to this day because they haven't found the right medicines. I have had a VNS inplant though but still having seizures."


"I have had Parnate prescribed since 1987, when I was 35.  After many years feeling like a an "anti-depressant guinea pig", I finally had clarity and with my psychiatrist's recommendation was able to manage my life while professionally succeeding.  I don't miss the foods I can't eat, but value the relationships I've been able to maintain."


"I was given Reglan through IV after another medicine failed to help with my nausea. It worked and I never noticed any side effects."


"Its been almost a year since I got it and I haven't gone a full week WITHOUT bleeding. I have gained 15lbs in 7 months, very depressed, moody, bad cramps, headaches, muscle aches, weakness, digestive problems. The list goes on. I thought it was all in my head, so I'm glad I found these reviews because I am now going to get it removed!"


"I've had bronchitis for almost a month. Was given Ceftin, which didn't clear it up at all. After finishing that, I went back to the doctor and he gave me the Z-Pak. I'm on day two and the bronchitis is much better. I'm still coughing up a little mucus, but my headache from severe coughing is gone! The only side-effect is some moderated stomach cramping that starts about an hour after taking the pill and last for about 30 minutes."


"Worked better than Tylenol w/codeine #3 and Carisoprodol.  Worked great for back pain."


"Works great for anxiety."


"I was on 50mgs methadone three times a day for over two years and had pain every day and waking up in the morning was unbearable. I was prescribed MsContin 60 mgs three times a day two days ago and the first morning I woke up, I got right up, went into the kitchen to make my tea and stopped dead in my tracks. Wait a minute, my back doesn't hurt, my body doesn't hurt, I got out of bed without cussing up a storm! This is a miracle. I can't believe it. I'm also on oxycodone 15 mgs 4 times daily for breakthrough pain. My body is now ridding of all the built up toxins from methadone including once a month bowel movements. I'm much happier now."


"I have Fibromyalgia, I have tried standard treatments for this condition and nothing has worked except Norco 10 -325 twice a day and Tramadol 100 mg  two times a day.I have been on this same does now for 4 years and it does the job. The only side effect that I notice is with night time leg cramps I have tried to see what caused the Leg Cramping and I am determined it to be the Norco. When I stopped taking it the leg cramps went away. I adjusted the time I take Norco and no longer take it after 5 in the evening and it seems to help. I alternate the Tramadol, take my dose in the morning about 6am when I wake up and take Norco at around 10am and 5pm and then Tramadol about 9pm and it works perfect and seems to control my pain."


"I have had the IUD for almost 2 years now. The first year was great. Last month I noticed I'm more moody have bad acne. I still have not lost my baby weight. I actually weigh more. I feel as if I'm pregnant. Have migraines, hip and abdominal pain, heartburn. I have taken test but all come out negative. The other girls who have had the same side effects say that urine test will not read you need a blood test or ultra sound. I am making my appointment and having this removed. "


"I've been taking this medication for a couple years. I no longer obsess over things and am no longer as depressed as I used to be. They seem to keep me in balance with my emotions. I would recommend this to anyone with depression and also compulsive behavior."


"I have constipation regularly. Milk of magnesia give me terrible cramps and makes me have nausea. Usually no BM. Miralax takes 3 days to work on me. Biscodyl tablets react the same as Milk of magnesia except with horrible gas. Senna, I have normal cramping before a BM, usually takes 8 hours to work. Very pleased."


"Condom broke! We raced to the pharmacy and managed to buy the pills in under 30 minutes. It made me sleepy, no other side effects at all except being a little crazy lol.

It was 4 days before my period and we worried it wasnt going to work. However, it did! I got my period at the normal time (4 days after taking pills) so dont worry! It works! Just get the pills as fast as possible. Good luck!"


"I used Tamiflu for influenza, it made a world of difference. I was so sick that I could barely get out of bed to take care of myself or my toddler, who also had influenza. By day 2 on the medication, I felt about 80% better. Influenza is a much more serious virus than I ever thought. Thank goodness for antivirals."


"I used Suprep to have my first colonoscopy at 70. I followed a low residue diet for a week before the prep.(less in, less out)  My evening dose of Suprep was easy:  I chilled everything, added white grape juice for half the water, and used a fat straw for drinking.  It wasn't bad at all especially if you pause to suck on a lemon.  The a.m. dose was harder to take; who wants salty grape juice first thing in the morning  when you're really hungry?   The hardest part for me was drinking 32 oz. of water after the prep.  I paced myself over the hour (don't chug!), had the water at room temperature, and about halfway stopped to have  some salty broth to make myself thirsty.   Suprep worked as expected with toilet times of about two hours for me."


"I would like to first and foremost state that I have never had performance anxiety, I was prescribed this for high blood pressure and heart palpitations. Every time I took one 10mg I lost an entire day, mild hallucinations, irritability, short term memory loss, and extreme mental and physical fatigue set in. I really can't stand this stuff, although I still take it from time to time to help my heart, I truly feel that it has had more negative repercussions than positive effects. I've found that increasing my exercise regime, low dosage marijuana edibles, meditation, healthy diet, and a quarterly psilocybin dosage has done leaps and bounds more for my overall health than this drug ever could. I truly believe that I was misdiagnosed."


"I have had severe menstrual pain since I was 13 yrs old.  Nothing has ever worked except when I was on the birth control pill.  Doctor put me on Ponstel and it only worked for the first day.  On day 2, 3 and 4 of my period it didn't work at all.  Doctor is going to keep me on Ponstel and also added Vicodin for the couple of "bad days".  We will see if it works.  It did work better then Celebrex (faster) that is."


"I love this medicine!!! I've had cold sores since i was a kid and none of the over the counter stuff ever worked for me. I take it as soon as i feel that tingle and it's usually gone in 2 days. I recently had a bad illness and broke out with 5 blisters after a night of 103 fever. I took two pills in the morning and at night and all but one blister is gone! I would have been so miserable if i didn't have this miracle to take!"


"Tri-Sprintec has totally changed my mood. I am always moody, angry and upset.  I am always crying if I am happy or upset.  It really has made my relationship with my parents and boyfriend not so good because of my mood swings! I have been on this birth control for 6 months. My periods are 2 weeks long. It's the worst. I want to be happy again and to my normal self!"


"I'm 2 weeks from completing my 3 month treatment and have had absolutely no problems or side effects. I was very skeptical about Lamisil before starting because of all the negative reviews that saturate the internet. My nails are improving and even though the bad nails are far from grown out I can tell a visible difference in nail color, texture and the health of my nail bed. I tease and say that it's a miracle drug, since starting Lamisil I've lost 13 pounds and I swear the medication has even helped with my allergies. I am a long time allergy sufferer and I have not had even the slightest onset of a drippy nose or watery eye this spring. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with this product."


"This is my first YI in about 5 years - OMG!!!  I didn't want to get the 3 - 5 day!!  I wanted relief NOW so I'm using the Monistat 1 Day Ovule combined pack!!!!!  I am in a lot of discomfort!!!  The cream seems to help, key is to keep calm and this to shall pass!!!!  BUT OMG!!!!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"A couple of things to add what others have said:

The label says to store at room temperature with "excursions" no lower than 15 C (59 F), so I am not sure of the wisdom of chilling the stuff. I did mix it with very cold water before I drank it.

Using a straw helped me.

I put a green apple  between cheek and gum and sucked on it while pulling the solution through the straw. That seemed to do an effective job of masking the saltiness and preventing gagging.

I did put a wall charger and cable in the bathroom for my iPad.

My experiences otherwise largely match those of the majority of people here, and as colonoscopy preps go, well, it is better than they used to be."


"Hard as a rock and could go all night. My wife has had enough now. I feel 20 again. Side effects are negligible and pale into insignificance to the benefits.

"I had sex Father's Day June 19,2016 . Took a plan b the next morning within 9 hours, no side effects that day . Next few days no appetite to eat, urination more than usual, sleepiness. Got period when expected July 2nd,2016, very light the first day , woke up with a medium flow with blood clots. Had my period on due time."


"Previously on 150 Welbutrin SR for about 1.5 years, then stopped for 4 months and started 15 mg mirtazapine. Used for insomnia, depression and anxiety. I must say, that for only being on this Med for about 10 days, it sure does help. Definitely knock me out about 45 minutes after taking it. The "lagging" feeling the morning after has started to subside. Anxiety is now well managed and taking my Valium much less frequently. I can majorly tell it's working- things that would have bothered and upset me before don't seem so bad..... the only downside to this is I definitely have a bigger appetite, and my stomach is pretty bloated. I've been looking into bloat reduction tactics rather than stopping this medication because of how great I feel. +++"


"I am almost 24 and I have never been pregnant. I also work at an OB/GYN (so I have access to good information and doctors)

I was on the pill, then the nuva ring, and back on the pill. These methods made me lose my libido and I started going through waves of depression. I was going to do paragard to get rid of the hormones in my body. My doc advised to try mirena instead, and I followed her advise.

I took pain killers before and after the procedure. I also scheduled for the near end of my cycle. The pain on a scale of 1-10 would've been about a 6 (and that lasted about 1 minute). I went back to work, and I feel pretty normal. Everyone is different, don't let reviews sway your opinion, talk to a doctor first. Will follow up in a few months."


"I found that Prozac has greatly helped me, and I intend on continuing to take the medicine for some time.  The only drawback is that I've found that even at max dosage I'm still greatly affected by my illness.  This is going to be supplemented by Seroquel."


"When I first got it it would do what I would call "resetting itself". By that I mean about every 3 months I'd have a week or two of insane pregnancy symptoms and it was awful but they would go away. I no longer have that happen and I love that it makes my periods super light. It gives me such security and is very effective. The pregnancy symptoms sucked but they only lasted a week or two, compared to 18 years of not  having a child I'd say that's ok. It's painless to get in and is amazing."


"I was put on this medication over 11 years ago. I had to be boosted up to 1200mg daily to get the blood serum level in the right area. It had to be combined with Keppra to finally help me obtain control of my epilepsy. It has been very effective the past 11 years, and I have had no side effects with it."


"The first 3 weeks of this medication I lost 17lbs, with little to no side effects. However, at exactly the 3 week mark I began having nothing but watery bowel movements accompanied by gas like cramps. This has gone on for 4 weeks almost everyday. I have now lost a total of 30lbs. So yes, it curbs hunger, charges your metabolism, but you can't leave the house to show off your weight loss or be active because you are stuck in the bathroom for hours at a time. I am now quitting Adipex so that it does not cause long term problems. It's a great kick start for a lifestyle change but the side effects are not worth it to me."


"I've been on this pill for just over 3 months & I am having the WORST side effects. My hair has been falling out constantly, my mood swings are absolutely insane, I have no sex drive, my anxiety has been through the roof, & I feel very depressed (I also feel very bad for my husband trying to deal with me like this)

I finally just had to stop taking it!"


"Works well, helps my focus during class and while doing homework. Concerta seemed to work better, but I think this stuff is doing a good job. It doesn't suppress your appetite as much as Concerta."


"I have had PSVT and occasional atrial fibrillation (plus the related anxiety from these conditions) since I was 21.  I am now 44.  I have been on metoprolol 25 mg, once a day in the morning, for the past 18 months and I love it. I was originally put on it twice a day, but I already had bradycardia and low blood pressure at night so within a couple of days the nighttime dose was making me wake up gasping for air with an extremely low heart rate and blood pressure so low it wouldn't register on my home monitor.  I called the doctor and he said to not take the bedtime dose. I haven't had any side effects that I recall. On the contrary, I can now play sports with my kids without flipping into an irregular rhythm."


"I have Multiple Sclerosis and was excited to begin Zanaflex as soon as it was approved in 1996. I had studied it for quite some time as it was in use in 47 countries before the US. I Love it and have had great results to this day with it. I'm not sure if it is very well presented or explained to patients; however, this is a very unique skeletal muscle relaxant & it actually targets the actual nerves of the patient. When you begin treatment it is important to note that for the 1st 2-3 weeks it is taking effect in your system. Great medicine!"


"Right now, I am waiting for my doctor to renew my prescription so I can get my medication.  The inhaler I am currently using shows it has 122 puffs left, and its empty.  This isn't the first time I've had one of these go dry before its used up.  Now, without an inhaler, I have to hope that the doctor on Monday will send in the renewal.  Fortunately, unless the pharmacy will provide a new inhaler to compensate for the defective one, I am out the money that was paid for it.  Oh, it does work, when it has medication in it."


"I've been on viorele for the past year and a half. At first, it was great! It got rid of my cramps, it regulated my period, and it worked in respects to preventing pregnancy, but for the past 6 months, I experienced a severe decrease in my libido, almost it was nonexistent. When I did want to have sex, I experienced severe pain, which I didn't experience prior. I was agitated and my anxiety and depression were worse. I'm now looking for a different birth control."


"This is a follow up to my first post on 9/6/17.
Female 38yrs old 5'5" with PCOS
SW: 198.8 Current weight: 193.6
Down 5.2 lbs in little over a week.

I am one week in and now taking 2 pills per day. Side effects have been minimal so far. Nausea is there but not bad. I feel full and satisfied when I eat. I hardly snack in between meals just don't feel like eating. I have never lost this much weight in this short amount of time. Not sure if water weight or what but I'll take it. I will check back in a week or so with more results."


"I was on Vyvanse for ADD. I started off at 30mg and enjoyed the ability to better focus my attention on tasks and it worked as an appetite suppressant. I increased it to 50mg and that is when my eyes started to become blurry. I decreased it back down to 30mg and I still had blurry eyes at times so I discontinued using the medicine. While using the medicine, I took my Vyvanse in the morning early and then 50mg of Zoloft in the early afternoon. If I took both pills at the same time in the morning I become agitated and felt like EVERYTHING was important and found it hard to concentrate. It was a really weird rush of emotions. If it doesn’t make your eyes blurry or make you agitated this is an awesome drug. It started working within a week."


"I have been on Tikosyn for 6 months. The first 4 months were difficult as there were lots of skips and bumps in between episodes of 1-2 per week. Though the times in arrhythmia were getting much shorter. I still feel as though my condition is improving overall as there are not as many symptoms as before I was taking it. Hope it just keeps getting better."


"I'm 24 & been on depo for 7 straight years. I got on it young so it wasn't to be used as a contraceptive but to help my very heavy periods. I bleed heavily  7 days straight, ridiculous cramps and migraines. I actually spotted for 3 months straight when I started it!! I was ready to call it quits when all of a sudden my periods stopped completely after! I was elated. No more cramps! I started to spot around the time for my next shot,  for a few years but as of now I never bleed. I may get light cramps for a day. I never experienced any weight gain or craziness from it. However, I do now suffer from depression and constant irritability... But my life and work is very stressful so I don't feel like it's the depo but it could be worsening it."


"This was the worst thing I've ever experienced. I would never in a million years suggest this to someone. I started this Feb 2015 a few months in I started bleeding and discharging non stop, till this day July 2017. The amount of money that goes into tampons, new underwear is just miserable. I have changed as a person I am no longer positive, nothing has been exciting, sex felt like a chore, I went from 130 to 180, and my anxiety/depression has been at an all time low (some nights I can't even sleep.) I experience horrific pains in my stomach and breast randomly. Weight loss is almost impossible, I worked out for over 3 months straight, drank water, jogged a mile,& counted my calories lost nothing. I wish I could take all this time back!"


"Have a pulmonary embolism, been on Xarelto since January 27 2013. No problems, make sure you have your doctors do a creatinine test to adjust your Xarelto. God bless."


"There has been absolutely no change in the ability to control  the flow of urine.  It has been extremely frustrating.  Length of time on medication:  2  1/2 to 3 months."


"I started on citalopram in September 2015 as I had extremely anxiety, causing me to feel depressed.

I started on 10mg after 4 weeks I went to 20mg and after 4 months on 20mg I went to 30mg.

It's been so fantastic. It did take longer than 4 weeks for optimal effect, I'd say for me I started feeling better around week 9-10, but it's helped no end.

I worry less, process irrational thoughts better and anxiety has reduced 90%.

Give it time, I truly believe if my gp had changed my medication on all my earlier visits where I was convinced it wasn't working, I would be worse off than I am now. Also engage with therapy."


"The PanlorSS work very well. Best medicine for cervical herniated disc (C5,C6,C7) that I have had yet. "


"I'm a 20 year old girl who was on this medicine. I was on it for about a year until my doctor said to take a break for about a month or two and then I could consider going back on it (she said to take a break from the phentermine essentially, and my pocket needed a break too) Starting in June of 2015 I was 212 pounds, now in December 2016 I am 160 pounds. Now, I can't say I got the full benefit of it because with being busy in school I don't have that much time to exercise as much as I'd like, or eat what is best. But, it curbed my appetite SIGNIFICANTLY. And that was definitely my problem, the snacking. This medicine changed my life for the best, it helped me get that boost I needed to start losing weight, and to keep the weight off."


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


"By almost completely controlling the inflammation, full mobility with little or no pain was returned, including increased energy and thought processes."


"That is the BEST medicine EVER! Propofol = Best Sleep ever! I didn't feel any burning at all. My doctor gave me that and I was out in matter of seconds. Propofol is the best ever! You do get really cold because anesthesia does slow down the body functions. Propofol does make a great night sleep! I've had propofol a few times and I didn't have any issues after all. I felt great no nausea no sickness I felt great!"


"This med has been great.  I have suffered Bipolar Disorder and panic attacks for years.  It has helped me tremendously.  You may need to adjust the amount so you don't become tired during the day but once you find the optimal dose I feel it's a worthwhile medication."


"I have been taking Leukeran since 11-19-2002 with no side effects, to treat CLL. Currently I am taking 2mg three times per week. My white count is staying under 19K.  I have no symptoms of the CLL. The alternative is chemotherapy, and I said no way.  Leukeran is keeping my Leukemia in check."


"I went on this for heavy bleeding and Pain from Fibroids.I had to get a blood transfusion. It helped the    severe pain in my lower back & stomach.The heavy bleeding not so much! I'm on my 3rd pack, and the first two months had heavy or just bleeding everyday of the month, and still some. Side effects I get are nauseousness a lot more depression, headaches ,upset stomach, gas more.  I think and I read others say they got that too. Idk if the bleeding is breakthru bleeding or my fibroids, but I certainly don't need anymore bleeding. I have Anemia now from bleeding everyday."


"Bloating was the only side effect, but the prep did not clean me out. My doctor could not see anything requiring me to have another colonoscopy with a different prep."


"This medicine changed my life. I used to get urinary tract infections during pregnancy, breastfeeding, after sex all the time, until a doctor prescribed put me on this daily. Never have a urinary tract infection again while on it. No side effects for me, just pain free pee."


"I might have taken to much but  it gave me symptoms of a stroke after 7 hours  in the ER they said my levels of T4 were really high I think it was 7  as  I had been on the 90 mg day from 30mg so maybe I went up too fast"


"Took Voix years ago and began to have heart fluttering spells.Later it was taken off the market by the FDA.Now I have taken meloxicanan for a few years and started having the same fluttering in my heart.So I stopped taking it for about a year now and the fluttering stopped.Now I don't take any anti inflammatory drugs. I Don't trust generics at all and people should get educated on what drug companies are getting away with."


"I would say I have been on Loestrin for give or take 2 years now. It is amazing. Before I was on Fencom Fe which gave me an intense appetite, weight gain and painful periods. I am so happy that my gyno switched me over to this pill and plan on taking it as long as I possibly can! No side effects at all. It is nice to not have to add on to the complaints in the conversation of periods anymore."


"I started on Lamictal after having manic episodes on Zoloft as well as Wellbutrin. I was a heavy cigarette and marijuana smoker. In the first couple weeks of starting Lamictal, I was able to quit smoking weed and cigarettes!! I didn't have insomnia as I previously did when trying to quit marijuana. My mood was much improve. I had been suicidal before and I started exercising again on Lamictal. I developed an unknown rash about 2 years into Lamictal and stopped immediately. The rash disappeared. It looked like 8 mosquito bites all over my legs. I was forced to try Abilify which made me gain over 40 pounds and take naps during the day. Today, I have started back on Lamictal and am back on track with exercising and enjoying life."


"When my dosage was increased from 100 mg to 200 mg what a remarkable change. I felt relaxed, less anxiety, with the combination of Seroquel, Cymbalta it was a lot easier dealing with the minor things in life."


"When I started to experience extreme anxiety, panic disorder, and depression last spring at 20 years old, I didn't know what I was feeling. I help hopeless and often questioned the purpose of life. I couldn't explain why I felt this way, but I know it wasn't me. It came out of NO WHERE. I vowed to myself that if I could get through this, I would help others in their journey to get through it as well. It will be a year since I started escitalopram and I can truly say it saved my life and has made me a much happier and appreciative person. You never know know much you take everyday happiness and serenity for granted until you mind is never at rest. If you are struggling, please give this medication a chance and don't be afraid to get help."


"I am only on one week into the Lupron and my pain has begun to, not ease, but not be as sharp as it was at all times. I can finally breathe and think before the next stabbing pains begin. But about two days ago I got mood swings. I seem insane, I'm fine then, I'm screaming. I'm only 17 and this is NOT what I need along with the disease. I hope it gets better for I wont have any friends at the end of the six months."


"Had cold sores since childhood, and they were always a pain. Usually they coincided with a recent illness or, most often, the seasons changing. Before, they were guaranteed to last me a week and a half, and always produced the most disgusting results. With these, I take two pills once I get the initial tingling and the beginnings of swelling, then two more twelve hours later. The blister, at its largest, will last maybe a day before immediately starting to recede. By day 2, it's hardly noticable, and usually around day 3 a scab shows up. Keep in mind, that's the WORST case scenario. Sometimes, I can get these pills quickly enough during the tingling phase that I get hardly anything.
Absolutely ask your doctor if they'll prescribe these!!"


"Currently taking 2 x 10mg ER and up to 4 x 5mg IR. Tolerance has developed quickly, what used to take the pain away only half way dulls it now. My doctor is not convinced of my pain, I have asked for more but he without coming right out and saying no has refused me increased dosage. My advice is even though Opana works well initially, you will develop tolerance rapidly and require more in order to provide pain relief. I do have several bulging discs but for some reason my doctor does not see this as cause to increase the dose, only continue the same dose that I began with about 9 months ago. Sorry for the rant but it may be something you might have not considered if I had not brought it up. From what I have gathered from independent research of Opana and Oxycodone, Opana has the greatest tolerance increase potential between the two."


"I've been experiencing breakouts for months. Have gone through everything everyone else has, so no need to rehash. I'll get to the point for those who are suffering. On January 23, 2017 I received my first injection of Xolair. In less than 24 hours I was already experiencing some mild relief. It's been a full week, not one breakout of hives. It feels like I have my life back."


"I've been on this pill for 4 months. Since I've been on this pill I had got my period for a whole month. I couldn't look at food nothing or eat it this happened for a couple weeks but I made myself start eating. Since then I've been on my period for two weeks. I was put on this pill to help my break outs since I was put on this pill my acne has got worse. Every body is different I'm just sharing my experience so maybe some people can relate."


"I suffered a 3year battle with BV. I tried several prescription medications (numerous antibiotics oral & vaginal suppositories) Whatever doctors said I did with no success. After lots of research I came upon acidophilus and it's amazing curing benefits.The chronic BV went away and stayed away. I just purchased over the counter store brand acidophilus tablets. Nothing fancy or prescribed. I inserted 2 acidophilus tablet pills vaginally for 3 days then 1 tablet for 4 more days and had immediate relief and results. After the 1st week was completed vaginally I then started taking one pill daily orally to maintain a healthy PH. I would highly recommend this to any woman suffering with BV."


"This medication works great. EXCEPT the fact that it gives you horrible scary brain zaps if you are even a few hours late on your usual dose!!"


"Dismal results from other restless legs syndrome medicines, 500 mg Horizant has been a welcome relief. Especially the nausea that always accompanied the other medicines. Noticed relief the first day. While it hasn't completely eliminated the restless legs syndrome issue, I can easily say it has made an 80-90% improvement. Minimal side effects noted  slightly itchy skin and occasional watery eyes. PLUS I am  sleeping much better"


"Humira has been a miricle, llife-saving drug for me. Along with very informed astute medical professionals, I have been fortunate to have my Crohn's Dz go into remission. THANK GOD!! Any side effects or adverse reactions to the drug have been well worth enduring! Anyone that has had a true Crohn's flare up would agree."


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar One about a year ago and originally took Abilify, until I realized it gave me severe anxiety.  My doctor changed me to Seroquel which I take before bed.  It did take a while to adjust to how sedating it was but it relieved me of my insomnia. However, I have been gaining weight steadily since beginning Seroquel with an insatiable urge to eat about an hour after I take my medication.  No matter what I do to lose weight - 15 pounds gained since Seroquel - I can not lose the weight.  I love the fact that it seems to work well with my body and cures my insomnia, but there's got to be something better for me that doesn't cause me to gain so much weight."


"This medication is excellent for anxiety ,depression, bipolar type 2 disorder and also helps with any pain that the patient my be suffering from from pain from depression and/or chronic pain. However this medication will not cure your pain if it's chronic, but it will alleviate it a lot and you wont have to take so much prescription pain killers. I'm speaking from personal experience and from the experiences of others. The only problem is that this medication is very expensive especially if you don't have prescription drug insurance and there's no generic for this yet."


"I get UTI's every other month, due to an autoimmune disease. Nothing works well for me except Cephalexin 500 mg by Lupin, two per day for 5 days. No side effects at all, but some reviews here list 4 times daily. I wouldn't ever take that much, because it isn't necessary for me."


"I've taken several different SSRIs and SNRI's. This medication is the worst I have even taken. It makes me feel worse than I felt before I started taking anything at all - sweating, hot flashes, my mouth constantly tastes like I drank salt water, constipated, bloated, nausea, exhausted. You name It. EXTREME RAGE!!!! stay away from this med. it's a scary thing"


"This pill is very effective and has its ups and downs. I took this med in back in 2014 for my ADHD and stopped completely in 2015 due to the side affects. I am currently taking it again and it has changed me completely.
PROS:
*You can concentrate incredibly
 *You get work done fast
 * It makes you think twice
* loose weight (if your interested in that)
Cons:
*You get paranoid
*You feel nauseated the whole time
*You become very antisocial
*You get aggravated very quickly
*People always think your sad or something's wrong
*APPETITE IS GONE
*You get sad fairly quick
*Everything bothers you
*Its very hard to get or stay happy
*It gets hard to fall asleep

This is my 2nd month back on it and there has been a substantial change in me already"


"I have been using Cialis for about a week and the results are outstanding.  My wife touches me and I am erect immediately with a very hard erection. Guys, my first sign that erectile dysfunction was on it's way was a decreased urine flow and a diminished erection.  If you have those symptoms, ask your doctor now about an ED drug and your sex life will improve for you and your partner.  Honestly, it takes the stress out of sex and allows you to focus on your partner instead of worrying about losing your erection."


"This drug has drastically improved my quality of life!  I've had IBS-mixed for as long as I can remember, though more recently I've had more trouble with chronic constipation.  Linzess has allowed me to have regular, well-formed bowel movements, as long as I'm very compliant with a high-fiber, healthy diet, and as long as I stay on a predictable schedule and drink plenty of water.  It even helped me while traveling, though it's less effective if I don't follow a regular routine.  I've never had a problem with diarrhea  while taking it, even when I took the higher IBS dose, though I found that my abdomen feels less bloated and full on the lower dose.  Linzess is by far the most effective treatment I've tried!"


"I'm on my third week of my first month of Seasonique. Cons: Heavy breasts which comes and goes but the sensitive hurting nipples is what drives me crazy. It's been a bit better in this past week. The first couple of days I had really mild nausea but that's long gone.

Pros: My complexion cleared up significantly, my acne has severely decreased. Unlike with other month to month birth controls I don't feel bloated or heavy. My appetite has increased (this is good because I need to gain weight and previously had very bad eating habits)."


"Probably the only easily accessible sympathomimetic widely available drug against nasal congestion."


"I take Neurontin with Methadone for severe back pain. This is the only combination of pain medicines that has actually worked for me."


"I have been using this for almost 3 years. Better control of symptoms- I can usually use 1puff 2x a day except when I get a bug then I need the prescribed 2 -2x a day. However last 2-3weeks I have a very medicine tasting phlegm/exhaled air. "


"I've been on ambien CR for over 10 years, then all of a sudden the doctors want to change things up, tried 5 mg, didn't work, now on 6.25 and kind of working but only get 30 days worth and they keep telling me I have to get off it....why??? Don't screw with what works, now my anxiety is worse never knowing if I can get my meds to sleep...."


"Taking 2-4 120mg softgels each day while breastfeeding averted plugged milk ducts."


"I'm in the early phase of using this medicine. If you don't have insurance coverage it's extremely expensive (about $2,100.00 month) for two injections! I was skeptical at first but I am now on my 5th injection and can honestly say I have almost NO pain in my joints. I noticed improvement after the 4th or 5th week (2nd injection). It hasn't improved my energy level, mouth ulcers or vision issues but the joint pain relief is awesome! I can finally open a jar, turn on a faucet and comb my hair without any pain. I am still taking Plaquenil, Colcrys and Prednisone but no pain medicines!"


"Horrible starting with the very first pill: severe cramping, migraine, lose bowels, tiredness, confusion, nausea. Had to stop after taking only three pills.  Been on the pill off and on since the age of 19.  I'm now 43 and this is the absolute worst experience I've had with a birth control pill."


"Tramadol has been a wonderful drug to help lower my obsessions. I suffer from OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). My doctor is understanding and prescribes this to me to help me with my OCD. It isn't a cure, however does help. Tolerance does build up, however and I have to take breaks and get off the medicine and get back on it to get the same effect as before. Too high of a dose can lead to seizures."


"I tried the lower doses & never worked. Finally I tried the 3 pill dose & it worked. I took 3 pills a few different times thinking maybe it was worse because of something I had eaten before taking the laxative. Nope! They are just horrible. I only gave a 6 because yes, it does work. But the stomach pain is TOO MUCH. I've taken the pills at 6:30am & by 10am I'm in serious pain & running to the bathroom! I have to have a full 24hrs before I leave home because it literally cleans everything out all day. It makes me go 4-8 times in 24hrs. I'm wondering if myself & others may be severely allergic to an ingredient inside the pill? Ask your doctor before use, pls!!"


"After a nightmare of narcotic meds for my fibro I was put on 900mg a day of gabapentin. It didn't work right away, and I wanted to stop taking it. My doctor explained that it sometimes works like an anti depressant can: slowly. She told me to keep at it. Slowly I began to realize that I felt way better! My pain had eased, my sleep was more regular. I haven't experienced any side effects at all. It it is such a mild medicine and one I thank God for everyday. I am at a 1200mg a day dose and will probably increase that slowly as the need arises. I encourage anyone with fibromyalgia to try this med. It may not be narcotic, but it helps!! And thats all that matters."


"You can actually call this birth control because I didn't want to have sex while I was on it. I had no type of sex drive whatsoever and I'm always in a mood. I had mood swings, depression, and was nauseous all the time. The only thing that minastrin was good for was my period were light and lasted two days and I didn't get pregnant. I was originally on loestrin 24 fe and stopped. Loestrin 24 was the best birth control ever. I went back on birth control a year later because I couldn't afford to pay for it at the time but now my insurance basically covers anything now. The doctor prescribed me minastrin and it was the worst thing ever. I stopped using it after 3 months and felt so much better."


"I have been taking this medication for about 10 years.  It keeps my blood pressure under control and the fluid off.  I don't mind the extra trips to the bathroom because I know it is working; taking fluid off my swollen legs and feet."


"I had the implant placed in my arm in June of 2015. In the beggining everything was great. My skin cleared up and I had no periods at all, which is great. After 3-4 months I began gaining weight. I started putting on 4 lbs here and there every month. I've gained 20 lbs in a about a year and half. I also feel that I'm always moody and anxious. I've never suffered from

Anxiety until I got this implant. Could it be all the weight gain? Maybe but I've finally decided to take the next step and have it removed. Besides the weight gain, anxiety, depression and moodiness this implant has prevented me from conceiving which is great! But the side effects are not worth it for me anymore. I will be getting it out December, 2 2016! And taking the pill!"


"This is a Miracle drug!!!!!!!!!!!
Psychological ED for 25 years. I wasn't too bad with my ex wife as I drank to mask anxiety. Nearly 5 years without sex as couldn't get erection with a woman. Always ok in masturbation. Went to see doctor after 25 years silence for Viagra. Was sceptical. Went on first date and took 50mg pill 45 mins before sex. Hot flush in head watery eyes but ok. I had the most amazing sex I couldn't believe it! Full erection straightaway in stimulation. Had full sex twice orgasming both times in half an hour!! I was overwhelmed. A 25 year problem sorted in 45 mins. I'm so confident now. Thank you Viagra I still can't believe it."


"My experience with Nexplanon was great, way easier then I thought it would be. If you're looking into getting the Nexplanon birth control option I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The beginning of the procedure your health care provider will give you a numbing shot usually in your left arm. The numbing part is honestly the "hardest" part of the whole procedure, you'll feel a tiny pinch and a slight burn, then he/she will wait a couple minutes for it to kick in, then comes the insertion. Easy. Didn't feel hardly any thing, took a few seconds to place and boom, you're done. Your health care provider will then place a bandaid over your arm and wrap it up. You might bruise a little but that's pretty much it."


"I was given two choices for my insomnia; melatonin or ambien as a quick fix. Of course I picked the quick fix and went with ambien. I took the first night and for 20-30 minutes after taking read reviews online. While reading I noticed my phone screen seemed to move and I lost focus over and over again. I thought maybe because I had been up for over 24 hours from the insomnia prior to getting the prescription, but upon the second time taking it realized that if you fight the window of time to fall asleep, you do get quiet a high. Hallucinations do occur occasionally. However, i was given a two week trial of this drug to see how well it worked for me and as I continue to take it I notice that I fall asleep quickly, but wake up throughout nite"


"I just started this 3 days ago, but for the first time in 9 months, I actually WANTED to have sex. I am ecstatic, so is the husband!"


"I had the burning like the other mentioned. About 2-3 hours after insertion. I didn't itch, however. I put a cold pack on my lady parts and it helped. Not sure if it will cure my YI, since it's only been 3 hours now. We shall see. But yea, it really burns."


"I took my first pill two hours ago. I have an energy boost. Oh and I also got a b12 shot today to go with it. I will be posting at the end of the month cycle with results!"


"It has helped me to get out of the worst depressive episode of my life (1.5 years), but I only sleep a few hours a night, my arms and shoulders feel like lead weights, and I tend to have racing thoughts. I am still trying to figure out whether to stay on it or not."


"I just had the 3rd injection in both knees. Noticed a slight decrease in pain after the first one and no real difference after the second. I have bone rubbing on bone on the inside of my knees. Walking more than 50 yards without resting my knees is agony but I can bike ride without much pain at all so I take a spinning class twice a week for exercise. I would like to be able to walk again without severe pain my dog is getting fat as am I. I really pray for a decrease in pain in the next 6 weeks."


"I started on Lo Loestrin FE for Polycystic ovarian syndrome and then changed to Yaz since my insurance didn't cover Lo Loestrin and besides that it was giving me acne and I was on a emotional roller-coaster. With Yaz, I was feeling way better, slight acne, no weight gain, BUT yeast infections. I'm switching to Yasmin."


"I have had eczema for about 10 years and before Ultravate nothing worked. In 2 days Ultravate dried the itchy open skin and it was well on its way to healing."


"Only took this for a week. I couldn't function at all. Was sent home on a daily basis as I couldn't speak, was dizzy to the point of falling over, everything smelt funny tasted funny. as a busy mother and teaching assistant I found this medications side effects not worth the time or effort."


"This works wonders for my skin! My dermatologist recommended it after I cycled through a few other medications and topicals to no avail (never did accutane, though).

I've been frustrated with my skin for years and although birth control definitely helped, I was still breaking out on a fairly regular basis. Once I started this medication the results were almost immediate. Within a week my skin was looking smooth and much less spotty. I very rarely get pimples while on this stuff, although blackheads are still a minor issue. Nothing a little makeup can't fix.

So happy that this works so well for me!"
