"Took ambien for the first time last night after not sleeping all night for months. I didn't want to wake up late or groggy. This worked wonders. Took at 9ish just woke up at 6. So happy I didn't sleep in but also got a full nights rest... Now let's hope I didn't do anything weird."


"I have Bipolar I with severe depressive episodes lasting up to 16 months. Zoloft was a last ditch effort to improve my depression; I was formerly on Luvox and found it too sedating and less effective after being on it for over a decade. So far, I have had 15 days without severe depression after being on Zoloft for one month. I think it's working. I am tired but I am not sure if that is the Zoloft or something else as I am on several medications for psychiatric problems."


"I have been diagnosed with bi polar 2 with depression and anxiety. I have been on all sorts of medications. But due to my asthma I had to be taking off of them. Right now I'm on Tripitel 150mg twice a day and 0.25 xanax twice a day and it has been a life changing for me. I have no side effects at all. I haven't had a anxiety attack or a panic attack in 1 1/2 years."


"I read so many scary reviews that I was quite hesitant to take clindamycin. But, it really seemed to work with no strange side effects other than more bowel motions (but that may have also been from increasing my probiotics).

Main point is: It worked for me, minimal side effects. I wish you the best of luck."


"It didn’t work for me so I’m giving it a one. No terrible side effects except I was really tired in the mornings. I took it at night."


"Wow this drug gets your GI tract moving.  Daily opioid user for chronic pain and constipation was becoming such a problem, I gave in and got some samples from my Dr.  2 hours later relief!  THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS HERE claiming pain and cramping.... yes after immobilizing your bowels with opioids for extended periods giving them a kick in the pants isn't going to feel good (but it will clean you out)"


"I have had chronic fatigue syndrome for over 20 years and it controlled and stole my life.  Nuvigil has given it back to me.  Prior to Nuvigil, I would collapse at around 1 pm and have to sleep around 2-3 hours, then I would have to go to bed by 9 every night.  Now I am living an almost normal life.  I don't need naps and go to bed at 9-10pm and find that my mental alertness is greatly increased (i.e. it seems to counteract "figrofog").  Drawbacks are increased blood pressure and insurance won't cover it."


"So far so good.... been on all sorts of anti depressants and this one works the best! No sexual decrease like others. I do want to eat all the time but I work out and am very active.  I sleep so much better now and my anxiety and panic attacks are gone. I was also prescribed 2mg Valuim which I rarely take now because of Remeron. Been taking 4 weeks now."


"I have been on Myrbetric and Vesacare for about nine months. I had dry mouth and some heart racing but didn't connect it to the medication. My migraines also occurred with more frequency but again I didn't connect it to the medication until I read the entries on this site.  Last week, all of a sudden, the drugs stopped working and I became unable to control my bladder. I have to take peridium every eight hours or I am in pain like I have a UTI but my urine culture is clear. My doctor is scheduling me for Botox injections via cystoscopy.  I hope it works because I can barely leave the house."


"I've had Kyleena for the past six months, and originally got it because I was bleeding or had some sort of darker discharge for 6 months straight previous to getting it inserted. Since then, it has regulated my period, which in fact has never been regular, and now I have an idea of when I'm going to start bleeding every month. Although it does give me some pretty awful cramps just before I'm going to start my period, that's nothing a little Advil and heat won't fix. I did notice that I got a little more acne on the chin since I got Kyleena inserted, but it's totally worth the fact that I have a regular light period now, and don't have to worry about having unwanted babies!"


"So far, I haven't had any problems with Apri. At first my feet swelled a little bit, and I was kind of bloated but that all went sway after the first pack. I've had Nexplanon which was the WORST birth control I could've ever got. It cause SO many health problems for me, mostly stomach problems. It made me lose a ton of weight, which wasn't very healthy for a 15 year old. I was on the Depo shot, and that made my moods CRAZY. I have pretty bad anxiety already, and the shot pretty much made it worse. I don't take any medications for my anxiety, because I don't believe I need to but I had to with the depo shot. It made me gain about 15 pounds, so I'm basically back to where I was 3 years ago before Nexplanon. Apri has been the best for me yet."


"I started taking this medicine when I was 16.  I am 26 now.  Right now I take 100mgs.  I was an unhappy teenager and I can't say it did anything for me at that point in my life (but I was only taking 50mgs then).  I stayed on Zoloft all through college and only went off of it for about 6 months, at the urging of a boyfriend at the time.  Those months were bad.  I tried everything to feel better (exercise, meditation, different activities) but I always felt like there was blackness hanging over everything.  I couldn't function socially and became rather reclusive.  With the help of my therapist and psychiatrist, I went back on Zoloft and my depressive symptoms decreased dramatically.  I have been on Zoloft for 10 years now so it's just a part of my life.  I get sad sometimes, but when I get hopeless feelings I can process them more easily.  It's hard for me to imagine life without Zoloft, but I hope to someday regulate my depression with a therapist and go off of it.  That said, I don't really have any side-effects to speak of.  Sometimes I have a low sex drive, but its only at certain times of the month, like before my period.  However, having a diminished sex drive on antidepressants is easier than not having any drive whatsoever when you are off them. To me, taking Zoloft is almost like taking a vitamin. It's no big deal."


"I've been on this medication for a little more than three months. I feel that my emotions and feelings have improved so much. I feel real happy now."


"I am a young and small person who was in search for a medication to control my depression but mostly my anxiety and OCD tendencies. I had tried Lexapro before also mixed with Buspar but it never seemed to fully do the trick; it felt like I was taking a pill and not getting much from it. Prozac has caused maybe a 5 lb fluctuation in my weight and it did decrease my sex drive for about the first 6 to 8 months but I feel that is just the amount of time necessary to get used to the new drug. This has been the only effective solution to my illness."


"Ivermectin works so good for rosacea but the price is ridiculous so I make my own face cream with Durvets horse paste (ivermectin) from the feed store and I mix it with my skin cream. My skin is beautiful!!"


"Helps with cough however experiencing severe headache with use of this medication. Almost bad enough to go to the  emergency room.  "


"This is amazing! It helps so many things. But the 3 main ones are nausea, insomnia and panic disorder. I also have fibromyalgia. I do try to keep the dosage as low as I can. I am prescribed a 1 mg pill 4 times a day. I take 2 of those at bedtime with a muscle relaxer and I sleep all the way through the night. I try to keep it to only 3 pills a day. I also take 60 mg of Cymbalta a day. Combined with the Ativan it keeps me and my husband sane. I also do yoga 2 to 3 times a week and walk. Exercise is a must with fibromyalgia."


"After my heart began racing several times with a pulse of 180 my doctor put me on Diltiazem (135).  However, after a couple of months my heart began racing again, so the doctor upped the Diltiazem to 180. I had been experiencing breathing problems and thought it was related to my asthma flaring and a wet winter. Now with the increased Diltiazem I am having even greater difficulty breathing with pretty severe shortness of breath. I think it is most likely related to the drug. Now seeking medical follow up."


"I recently found out I was bipolar 2 at the age of 24. I was 16 getting panic attacks didn't think anything of it. Finally I started getting more stress as I got older. I was on an antidepressant for 4 years not knowing I was bipolar. Someone who is bipolar should not just take an antidepressant because it will just put them into mania. That is what was happening to me. I checked myself into the hospital for intrusive thoughts, I'm not depressed I don't want to hurt anyone or myself but didn't know why these thoughts were coming so often. I also suffer from severe anxiety. I now take 40mg of Prozac 500mg of Depakote and 0.5mg of Ativan twice a day on Ativan. My medicines are starting to work wonders for me. I'm me again!"


"Ive been suffering with migraines since i was 12 and they have just gotten worse over the years i have usually 3 to 4 migraines a month i like most of you have taken just about all the triptans they make (zomig,maxalt,frova,immitrex etc) and numerous preventatives i ended up in the hospital for several days because of how bad the side effects were taken a toll on my body i had to quit taken them so i just suffered with my migraines and went to the er when I couldn't handle the pain anymore which is not fun at all cause 50 % of the time you get treated like a drug seeker well i was on my second pregnancy about 4 months along and i was just suffering daily from severe migraines my ob prescribes me Stadol NS this is my miracle drug people"


"I'm going to post what some other people have mentioned: You apparently need to give your body quite a bit of time with this. I started taking mine in August and am now on my final few pills before I need a new pack. August, I was free of spotting. September, I practically had a regular period. October, lighter but longer. It's almost constant now, but very light. I was debating even getting another pack because I hate bleeding but apparently sticking with it for a year will cause your body to start responding without the spotting. Let's hope!"


"Medication along with 100 mg of pristiq made me feel great until the weight came on. Getting off rexulti to see if it helps"


"I was prescribed Prozac last year for depression and OCD. The first three days taking it were hard for me. My depression worsened and I was having terrifying nightmares every night. I went back to my doctor, explained to him how I was feeling and I was immediately taken off and switched to something else. Everyone reacts differently to different medications, but make sure you tell your doctor if your depression worsens or you feel more anxious or have nightmares.. The nightmares every single night was what made my doctor know that Prozac wasn't for me.. Even if it's supposed to take 2-3 weeks, or however many, to kick in, make sure you tell your doctor you're not feeling well!! Let them decide what the best decision is for you. :)"


"I am a Chronic pain guy, An athlete with numerous aches and pains, Voltaren was prescribed to me for my knees which have osteoarthritis, it seems to give me some relief but those of you that are saying it makes you pain free are stretching it a bit, I was unaware I could use it on my back which I will try,To be continued...."


"I started taking this after my knee surgery, I found it to be be great. My recovery time was fast. I had no pain and lot's of energy. It started with 3 or 4 pills a day then after that it got to be 5 or 6 a day. I then had foot surgery. I had to take more for the pain to go away. This went on for 5 years. By the time I got help I was taking 20 to 25 pills A DAY. I now know that God is watching over me because if he wasn't I wouldn't be here now. I am now off of all pain killers but it took a lot of hard work. I'm letting you know this because it creeps up on you before you even know it. Vicodin may help you at first and you may be able to control it. I thought I could. I'm just asking you please be careful with this medicine."


"For 3 1/2 years I have been getting Aranesp injections for my CML and it has really helped keep my red blood count since I have chronic anemia."


"I had take turmeric for my left ovary pain and its help my pain go away"


"I've been working 12 hour night shifts for 23 years. Started feeling excessive daytime sleepiness approximately 10 years ago, which has progressed to the point of fighting to keep my eyes open 24/7. Began taking modafinil 6 months ago and have noticed no difference whatsoever! If anything, it has gotten worse. I fear for my life (and everyone else around me!) every time I'm behind the wheel of my car. Working day shifts or changing jobs is absolutely not an option for me, as I have a special needs child that I need to be home with during the day. Have had every type of lab work known to man, all of which is normal. This zombie life is absolutely ridiculous and really wish someone had a solution!"


"Last year I was hospitalized due to my alcohol consumption. After this I have needed to completely stop. I have been experiencing extreme anxiety. I was recently prescribed gabapentin 600mg*3 times a day. This has helped a ton! I can finally relax and focus on getting my life together! It is definitely helping me through this rough time along with AA and other support groups."


"I have taken it for about 4 or 5 years on and off.  I had stopped for awhile because my bp was fine but started this last year because I suddenly have elevated bp again and some swelling.  It works fine for me at 12.5.  I had a doctor prescribe 25mg and I had the leg cramps , some dizziness , dry eyes.  I realized that is because I am dehydrated.  If the medication is dehydrating you I would say you are prescribed too high of a dose.  Once it was decreased all those side effects went away and I do not swell and my BP is better.  If you ever complain to a doctor and they tell you just keep taking it and you don't feel good about it, follow your gut feeling."


"I was put on this because I got into a heated argument at where I worked at the time and went to my gyno right after and so my blood pressure was elevated. I told my doctor about what happened but to be safe she put me on this since it doesn't contain estrogen. I LOVED it. I didn't get my period for nearly 2 years. And then I don't know what happened, maybe I wasn't taking it at exactly the same time anymore (actually now that I think of it I wasn't). So my doctor put me on LoSeasonique but I don't want to get my period at all so I think I'm going to go back on this."


"After trying numerous SSRI's and mood stabilizers and ready to give up, I tried Lexapro. It was new and just on the market. I love it. It has completely turned me around. I'm normal again. Its good for anxiety too. No bad side effects. No weight gain. Its wonderful to have finally found a medicine that actually works. I hope it never stops working."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 6 yrs old and pretty much just learned to deal with it until age 14. When I started 8th grade, my parents put me on the meds and I absolutely love it! I'm so much more successful! Plus I feel better about myself as a person. I don't know how I went all those years without it. Its definitely made my life better."


"I suffer from depression, anxiety, irritability and anger. I recently fell into a deep depression, was suicidal, and began cutting myself. I was admitted to a psych ward for 4 days, and was prescribed 5mg olanzepine, and my fluoxetine was reduced to 10mg from 30. I'm doing SO much better with this combination. I'm not as anxious as I used to be. My depression is about gone completely, and I'm more patient with society. I've been on it for 2 weeks. The only down side is that I am STARVING, ALL THE TIME. No food can satisfy my stomach. I'm 6' and 150lb, so I don't care if I gain weight, but my mom has type II diabetes, so I'm paranoid taking this medication, which doesn't help my situation"


"I have been taking Lorazepam for about 3 years. My main problem was when I laid down at night to sleep, I would start thinking about all the things that was going on. I then would have a panic attack. It doesn't happen now. It works."


"So, I've had idiopathic constipation for a couple years now. I generally have it under control, but every once in a while I'm blocked up. I drank this at around 5pm, hoping to feel its effects before I went to sleep. By midnight I was frustrated and quite uncomfortable. I contemplated going to my 24hour CVS but decided to go to bed and go in the morning.

There's a reason they say don't drink more than 1 bottle in 24 hours,OH BOY does this stuff work. Give it the full 24 hours before making any additional actions. I woke up and a couple minutes later found that I NEEDED the toilet about 3 times in a 1/2 hour. Past that I had a strong but not alarming urge once more and after that, my stool was watery but nothing close to diarrhea."


"I took 2 tablets by mouth as prescribed, after eating dinner. After about 10 minutes I started to have very bad stomach pains and felt like I had to vomit. I also felt extremely hot. The effects lasted for a little over 1 hour. Although the side effects were bad, I really feel like the meds did the job. It's only been one day and I've have not had any vaginal discharge, and the odor has gone away. To me it was worth the discomfort. Hope this helps."


"I've had Nexplanon since June 2013 and its been great except for the first 7 months, I had an almost non stop period but since then no period been almost a year and half no period pretty happy about that. No weight gain actually lost weight. At first it did affect my mood but after awhile I got back to myself. Little to no acne. I plan on getting a new one when I get this one taken out. Best birth control!"


"LOVE this.  Nothing has ever worked on my face. I have been using it for 5 days (mornings only) and people have already commented that my skin looks so good.  I have no burning, no redness, no flaking, etc. (and I have extremely sensitive skin). I am so excited. I put a very thin layer on in the morning and then apply my make-up over top.  It does not leave a film/residue on my skin and my make up goes on flawlessly.

Pro's: WORKS GREAT!
Cons: Prescription only - Small Jar

"


"I have suffered from embarrissing cold sores for years.  My doctor told me about a single day dose of Famvir (1500mg).  He wrote me a script so that I have them on hand when I feel an outbreak coming.  I soon as I feel the outbreak, I initiate the therapy and the cold sore does nothing more than get a little red for a day or so.  No more full blow outbreaks, this has been wonderful."


"I, had this yeast infection for about a week burning itching when I, urinate it felt like knives cutting me I,got up at 6 a.m. in the morning went to Walmart find Monistat 1 it's a miracle in the Box insert it at 7:30a.m by 11:30 a.m. I was great. No side effects whatsoever none."


"I am almost through my first pack of Seasonique and I love it.  My doctor instructed me to take the pills for 6 weeks and then let myself have a period and then take then next six weeks and have a period.  She told me to do this in order to reduce any spotting.  I think that method may work because I haven't had any spotting at all. I have had an amazing experience with it.  I also make sure to take it around the same time every day and not to miss a pill.  That also helps reduce spotting."


"This medication took care of all the hallucinations - visual, auditory and physical. I do have some shakiness and muscle twitching though."


"I pulled/strained a muscle in my upper back last week, and the pain was so bad, I could hardly breathe.  My doctor prescribed Flexeril which I took as soon as possible with a little food - around 2:00 PM.  About an hour later I was out COLD - asleep for the rest of the day, that night, and until late the next morning.  Good thing I took a couple of days off from work, because I felt drowsy and weird for at least 24 hours after I took it.  There's no way I could have driven - much less accomplished anything at work.  Having said all this, it really did kill the pain. It's as if I never injured my back.  But at what cost?  I think I'll take 800 mgs of ibuprofen instead if I ever have a similar injury."


"I hadn't gone for 4 days and decided to try Dulcolax. I am 5'1 and 120lbs. The bottle says anywhere from 1-3 pills, and my constipation was pretty bad so I decided to take 2. Worst mistake of my life. I took the pills at 2:00pm and by 6pm I had the most terrible cramps I have ever felt in my entire life. I was shaking, cold sweating, and felt like I was going to throw up several times. Hours later and I'm still having terrible diarrhea. It works, but the side effects are too much for me."


"Started taking Abilify for anxiety about five years ago, when nothing else worked. In about half an hour I could feel the change in me. So much calmer! The only problem is extreme fatigue. Sleep 10 hours a day with naps. Taking 2.5 mg."


"My last seizure was less than a month before starting keppra. I was having very bad seizures on and off for 3 years and the only thing coming up in scans done on my brain was a bit of slowing on the left side. I had tried other anti epileptic medications that weren't working and my neurologist recommended I start using keppra which was newer to the market at the time.  I've been seizure free for over a year and I couldn't be happier. I got my license back a few months ago and have returned to living normally"


"Recent colonoscopy confirmed no active inflammation.  Experiencing no side-effects.  Painless self-injector administered very 4 weeks.  The Only minor difficulties are dealing with the specialty pharmacy and properly disposing of the injectors."


"I suffered PMDD that came on exactly day 14 of my cycle. For another 12 days I would be incredibly irritable, teary, depressed, high anxiety and ruining the relationships around me. I also couldn't study and struggled often to get to work or to even drive myself home from my boyfriends. I started antidepressants but then freaked out and stopped, then actively tried other options for a whole year before trying them again and coming to terms with the fact it was probably my best option. I wasn't expecting them to work the way they have, I just feel like a normal human and like my personality is back. I can function and I have enjoyment in life that I didn't before. Haven't really experienced any side effects either."


"I had a stent installed in right ventricle at 80% blockage. And then I was put on Brilinta for 1+ year. Minimal problems.  Minor bruising in last few weeks.  Minor bleeding early on. Can't tell if it's affecting breathing since I'm also on other meds (statin, metoprolil, lisiniprol ... pardon spelling errors).

I was a runner, now am walk/jogger...a few miles/day, few times a week.  Still experience some pressure/breathing occurrences during first few minutes, then I walk, and restart jogging. After a while (10-15 minutes, about a mile)  this tends to go away and I can jog a little longer. No way to determine if any of the meds contribute to this.

I look forward to stopping Brilinta very soon. Hope it helps the breathing/pressure  but am pessimistic"


"I submitted my first review on April 13. Today it's June 4 th and still SUFFERING with daily pain from the drug."


"I got the Mirena about 3 months ago and so far it isn't bad. I was so scared to get it because I was reading all the reviews on it and there were some pretty bad ones, but don't pay any attention to them. When I got the Mirena placed it hurt for like 30 seconds and then I had really bad cramps for about an hour. I have had my period since then but it wasn't too heavy and it's become to just daily spotting. And it's very convenient because you don't have to worry about taking a pill daily, so I highly recommend it!"


"I started phentermine 37.5 mg 4/22/2015 my starting weight was 243 I'm 5'9, Today 4/27/2015 233 I lost a total of 10 pounds in 5 days. The only side effect I had so far, I can't sleep. I would like to lose a total on 20 pounds. I will write another review once I complete my month supply!!"


"For me it worked for a little while after a few months doctor upped my dose but it did nothing"


"A good target specific antibiotic for upper respiratory tract infection and lower respiratory tract infections together with sinusitis which works fast and I experienced no side effects bar taste being affected but only temporarily."


"Been taking Dexilant for over a year. Have had diarrhea almost daily and have now began having joint pain and a general tiredness and ill feeling. Works great for reflux but seems to be having an adverse effect on my entire system."


"Only problem I had was it kept slipping out my vagina,but once it finally stayed inside my vagina,I went too bed,didn't feel itchy nor did I feel any burning sensation inside my vagina.overall great product"


"Great Medicine. I have herniated discs and take it with Percocet, and am able to relax."


"I had been taking Restoril for sleep for several years.  I found that my level of depression was worsening over time and I had to take more and more to sleep.  Finally, I decided that I needed to get off of the Restoril.  My doctor prescribed Remeron.  I have been taking it for several weeks now and find that my mood has improved as well as my sleep.  I am down to 1/2 of the Restoril I was taking before and hopefully may be able to discontinue it.  The only downside of Remeron is that my appetite has increased, which is not good for me.  Otherwise, I would have rated this as a 10."


"I was told that many women have taken this and it works. It was my first trying it at 18 weeks. My ob told me it helps to make you stay pregnant longer. I took it Monday. The following Monday came, I ended up in the hospital with a rupture membrane. I lost my baby Tuesday.  There really isn't any data backing it up, but please make sure you check your cervix before taking the shot. It sad to say but it was my only one shot. I regret it."


"Best medicine i've taken in the past 15 years. Makes me a little dizzy at times but is controllable."


"I had Rituximab treatment over four weeks for a lymphoma on my newly (three months) transplanted kidney. The result was total remission, which truly amazed me. It's almost three years now, and I often think about what situation I'd be in if it hadn't been detected purely by chance."


"I have suffered through depression most of my life (I am 16 now) and I have gone through many anti depressants but most left me feeling even more depressed (due to weight gain which is one of my triggers with depression). Lexapro is the only anti depressant I have been on that has not caused excessive crying, weight gain/loss, suicidial thoughts, etc. the only thing I noticed is I sleep a little more than normal but hey, sleep isn't bad for me."


"Works fast limited side effects."


"I currently take 10mg and turns out i cant sleep on it. So tonight i took 20mg and feel like i am slightly tripping balls man. i still cant fall asleep so i might as well go talk to the clothes in my closet."


"while taking strattera it didn't really help with my ADHD but it did cause unwanted nausea and once I reached my target 80mg dose I began to get extremely hot then started to sweat a lot and finally threw up the strattera."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been on Pradaxa for almost one year. I have had Atrial Fibrillation and was given Pradaxa after being on Warfarin for  TWO YEARS. I am pleased with Pradaxa but had to be given medicine for heartburn. No going back but following the STATS on the medicine as to the properties of bleeding. So far so good."


"Second day on this pill...severe diarrhea. I'm a dialysis patient so constipation is part of many pills. I think still afraid of going, outside thinking in use of restroom, dizziness, and weak. Good for emergencies but still thinking if someday I will be back to normality with no pills at all."


"I've been taking Vraylar for schizophrenia for over 6 months. It has been the best anti-psychotic to date for me. The only downside is I still experience weight gain. I'm looking to continue this drug until a better one comes out. I've been stabilized and happy for the first time since my illness started 6 years ago."


"I have suffered from depression for about 2 years now. Crying all the time, getting my feelings hurt real easily, getting mad, then happy, then back to mad. Tried Lexapro and it didn't work. Tried Pristiq and it made me feel ten times worse. I started on this medication yesterday and I already feel a little better. I am hoping that I have finally found the answer! If this has already made me feel this good after one dose, I can't wait to see what happens after I have taken it for a while! I recommend this to anyone definitely!"


"Drysol works.  I tried other non prescription brands on the market with absolutely no positive results.  Drysol has been life changing for me.  I can wear what I want without being concerned with soaking through a shirt.  The only side effect I have experienced is the burning for the first 3 or so days of use, but trust me its worth it.  After the first few days, there isn't any discomfort.  "


"I am in month 2 of taking Latuda. I have bipolar with psychotic features. When I started Latuda it was bad. I was sleeping all day and night. Then it switched... I was going to sleep at 10pm and would be wide awake at 4 am. I have lost weight since starting it which is welcome due to having gained weight on lithium. My moods are great and any irritability I experience subsides quickly. I have had no psychotic thoughts or actions since I started the Latuda. Even better, it has barely any side effects. I do notice a tiny bit of anxiety and restless legs though. But not every night. REMEMBER TO TAKE WITH 350 CALORIES OF FOOD."


"After having tried a few other combination depression, pain medicines, this one finally seemed to work, and I got far less tired, or other side affects I'd gotten from the others, so far, I feel this is the best one I've tried, it has also helped with my mood."


"Oh Goodness. It sounds nice b/c you get to the pharmacy and they don't hand you this great big jug to walk out with. It's 2 little packets. You mix 1 with 5oz of water twice.  Sounds too good to be true right.  That's because it is.  You then have to follow that with (5) 8 oz of a clear liquid.  With in 5 hours. By the time I was able to get that down, because remember you have to take into consideration running to that toilet every 15 minutes,  it is now time  to start the next packet.  You have to start the next packet 6 hours before your procedure.  So,  if your procedure is at 9am. You are waking up at 3am to take packet number 2. My procedure 6am. I had to take my first packet at 6pm. My 2nd @ 12am. No sleep for me.  It sucks and $$$$"


"I would rather deal with the long dissolve time of Bunavail than the horrible taste, shorter effect and headaches you get from Subs (Suboxone orange sublingual strips).

In my personal experience, it takes about an hour in my cheek to get the full effect, but not dissolve completely. That effect is an all-day one versus Subs. On the Subs, I'd have to use a little more after a few hours. Plus a pounding headache if I wasn't careful.

On the Bunavail, all of my withdrawal symptoms are gone, I have energy and a great mood. It does the exact same thing as the Subs do, you just have to be patient with the way it's delivered into your system. Which is apparently something half the people out there aren't capable of, judging from the comments."


"My diagnosis Panic Disorder. But I struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD and BPD as well. I've taken tons of medications to deal with my disorders. After being hospitalized for a suicide attempt, I was prescribed Wellbutrin first, which helped with suicidal tendencies. Then I was put on Lamictal (which I would also give a 10 star rating to). It made my anxiety and panic attacks vanish. However, I still felt empty. Like I had no purpose. My doctor finally put me on a low dose of Abilify. It helped, so much. It made a world of a difference in my life. I am SCARED to die now, when before I only wished I'd die. I take 15 mg now and it is amazing. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't had luck with traditional antidepressants."


"I have tried taking Victoza 3 times now and I get so sick (headache, nausea and vomiting) that I have to stop after 2 days each time.  I have taken a lots of different meds in my  51 year's but nothing has ever made me that sick. I was hoping to lose about 35 lbs, but I can't stand being that sick."


"This is my second night of taking Ambien CR 10 Mg. Last night, I fell asleep and woke up with the pictures hanging on the wall on top of me. I'm not sure what happened there, but hopefully everything will be better! I have my fingers crossed!"


"I started Xyrem about 3 months ago, and I couldn't happier. I tried Nuvigil, Wellbutrin, Ritalin, and Prozac, and nothing kept me from sleeping 14 hours a day with hallucinations and cataplexy. After just a few weeks, I was able to stay awake ALL DAY LONG, and I haven't had ANY cataplexy in the past two months. I also got to cut my stimulant use by 2/3 during the day. I was nauseated at first, but after a few weeks it went away. I have also lost 30 pounds without trying after starting this medicine, even though it makes me hungry at night. I still have sleep attacks, but they are usually once every one or two weeks. I would much rather have that than everyday!"


"I was taking glides for about a year and needed a refill. Accidentally asked for Errin, which was my old be pill. Been on it for two months a feel like I'm absolutely crazy! I'm crying all the time, feel bloated all the time, angry about things that don't matter, and depressed. I don't feel like myself. I don't feel like doing anything. I just switched back to glides and am on my fourth day. I still feel crazy, but hope I  another week or so I snap back to normal."


"I had suffered with Acne for about 4 years. I was 29 when I first started using Differin gel. After 2 months my skin was completely clear and I am so happy. I would recommend Differin to anyone. I didn't need to waste money on other products that don't work. Differin has changed my life. Flawless skin finally. I'm 30 now and I've been using Differin for 6 months. Best acne treatment on the market."


"i have been using this medicine for the last 4 years. It helps to approximately stop the growth of diseases. It is helpful and I am taking it with SAZO 500."


"I like Gildess the most out of the pills I've taken. But after 3 months I've gained ten pounds and have been very angry lately."


"I'm had it since October and I've recently started having really bad cramps. I've been light headed and dizzy."


"Immediate insomnia, constant yawning, detached feelings, frequent urination, etc."


"Been using for 10 years and has always kept my Rosacea at bay.  It stings during the first week of use but definitely worth enduring that discomfort, the results are amazing! A tube now last me almost a year as it only takes a tiny bit of cream to maintain clear skin."


"Using Duac Once Daily (10mg + 50mg gel) cream. At age 44 I started to get acne. Reading previous reviews I was cautious about this cream but the results are great. You have to use this sparingly - no matter how tempting it is to put loads on if your skin is bad. It took a week before my skin cleared up. In the evening I spread a tiny amount on the T Zone area and it's enough to keep spots away. If my skin starts looking red or dry I will skip a night of not putting the cream on that area. Yes, my skin will look a little shiney the next day from the oils but I don't get spots and it allows my skin to recover. I would recommend you exfoliate once a week to remove dead, dry skin too. I will continue to use this cream until my skin calms down."


"I've been on it for about eight months now, literally no side effects that I've noticed. I'm very active and orsythia has never effected my athletic performance. In terms of period regulation, sometimes I'm up to three days late or early, incredibly light flow though that lasts for maybe four days. Previously I was dealing with ten day periods and very horrid cramping every other month. I've had unprotected sex about 70 times, with no scares, I do take the pill religiously. Over all I'd totally recommend this, no bad side effects and anxiety over getting pregnant is completely gone."


"I have taken Seroquel XR for two years. I take 800mg at night for BiPolar. At first it seemed like I would never come out of the haze but it wore off over a weeks time. Honestly, really I have had NO major bipolar problems since I have taken Seroquel XR. It is wonderful. But be sure to have insurance! Without my prescription it would be like $500/mo. It works very well for me because I take Adderall in the day and this helps me go to sleep at night. Great medicine."


"I was bleeding for 7 weeks lightly and then all of a sudden it came and I was passing large clots and a lot of blood. My doctor put me on Provera 10mg twice a day. I had a horrible headache and felt tired but my period did stop which is great. "


"I have been taking Yaz, now Gianvi for 5 yrs now and still love it. Acne is pretty much gone except maybe an occasional blemish every few months but nothing severe and goes away in a few days. Also, have not had my period for pretty much the whole time which is awesome and no "PMS" at all. I would like to try and have a baby so am not excited to go off of this and scared my acne will come back. For now though, am enjoying what this does for my skin."


"Went on this just for birth control. My acne has always been mild, break out near period usually. When i started the pill i broke out for the first 2 months in places i don't normally break out (cystic too). It was pretty sad because i don't normally break out that bad. On my third pack now though and my skin is pretty much clear again.

My period pain used to be severe though and now they are much better (period has always been regular and short, 3-4 days). I have increased a cup in breast size too. I haven't gained any weight or had any cravings since on the pill. However i have had a couple days where i would feel sad/moody for no reason, and get nausea randomly but not too bad."


"I smoked 2.5 packs per day for 38 years. At age 52 I finally decided I'd had enough wheezing and yellow fingers. At the 4th day of taking Chantix, my good old cigarettes tasted dry and I wondered why I was still smoking. On day 8 I put them down and threw away 3 packs of cigarettes. I'm on day 25 without smoking now. I still have some urges but they occur less often and are less severe. Being around others that are smoking hasn't bothered me at all. I am amazed that I never had the foggy head or other withdrawal symptoms I'd had in the past (when I tried to quit). The only side effects I've had are vivid dreams. Some of these were nightmares, but they are still just dreams. I can put up with a few of those in order to quit."


"The doctor prescribed this med for my insomnia, accompanied by depression and anxiety.  This was a total NIGHTMARE!!  Not only was I wide awake all night, I experienced extreme paranoia, and hallucinations.  I will definitely never take this again."


"I have been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis now for the last five years. I'm now 40 years old and it started to hit me quite hard after the age of 18 and started treatment on Humira at 35 first. Slack medical advice and thinking that I was fully cured, I stopped my treatment within 3 months my AS came back very strong as I was now working out 5 days a week in the gym. In Autstralia if you don't keep blood checks and things within certain times they strike you from the assistance hence my specialist has now put me on Simponi and all I can say is WOW. This stuff works and works well. I did notice very small signs of AS in the 4 weeks, which disappeared on the next injection. I found I had been given a new chance to live a normal life."


"I finally got to try viberzi after a year of begging my G.I. Doctor to give it to me after being on many medications over the last 9yrs. This is the ONLY medication that's helped me. I was on levasin? Bentyl, protonix, xifaxan, and others over the years and none of them did a thing, I had no quality of life, and now that I'm on viberzi, I have a life. I went on vacation with my kids for the first time, instead of having other family take them, I'm enrolled on CNA classes, so I can finally hold a job again. I'm so sorry it doesn't work for everyone with IBS-D"


"I was prescribed this medicine for severe neck spasms which keep me up at night. I also have chronic insomnia. My initial dose is 4 mg at bedtime, 2 mg during the day as needed. I have been taking it for 2 weeks. Last night was the last dose I'll ever take! While it does seem to relax my neck, I am up every couple hours to urinate, then my throat is so dry, I have to drink more water. Because of the insomnia, it takes forever just to get back to sleep. No sooner do I manage that, then I have to get up to pee AGAIN. "


"I have been on amitriptyline for a month and it has helped a lot, but I have gain 10 pounds already."


"I been on nexplanon for a year now and I regret it. My periods never been this long an my life before I got on nexplanon I was only on my period for 3 or 4 days now with nexplanon I'm on my period like 2 weeks or 3 weeks I hate it. Very horrible and side affects always sleepy, shortness of breath, and anxiety. Lose of appetite. Bad acne. Only good then about this birthcontrol it's actually does stop u for pregnancy. I don't recommend this birthcontrol. The pill is way better"


"I have used Ornex for as long as I can remember and am extremely disappointed that it was taken off the market. It helped almost immediately and now I have to fish around and find something that will work as well. There was no dry mouth and the effectiveness was great. Please put it back on the market."


"I've had Nexplanon for 11 months. What has been most noticeable is that my period won't come for 4 months, and then it will last for 2 weeks, heavy at first then lingering forever. What wasn't as noticeable was my acne spreading all across my back and down my buttocks. Until one day you just realize- that wasn't there before Nexplanon. Also, not as noticeable at first- I've gained weight steadily. I now weigh 18 pounds more than I did when I first got it and can only fit in one pair of jeans. Because of the acne and the weight gain, I'm having it removed in a few weeks."


"First implant march 2013 - no problems what so ever, not a single one!! no period!  March 2016 - expired - getting married in August and honeymoon in January - opted to put nexplanon back in until we get back from the honey moon. Removal and re-insertion was easy as pie and only took about 15 min of my time.  Excellent choice since i read up on all forms of contraceptive since oral contraceptive failed me the first time.  But it all worked out and we are to be married!!  I have read horrible reviews regarding Nexplanon. Just know that it is NOT for everyone and that it is worth a shot. I have not had a period and no side effects. steadily loosing weight and not gaining, no acne, no mood swings or depression. would totally recommend!!!"


"I have severe hip flexor pain, and my doctor recommended this. It did nothing for it. "


"41yo male, mild gout for about ten years - I'm lucky! However, have had 4 acute attacks that make wearing shoes and walking very difficult and sleep almost impossible. This drug is incredible - in 10 hours today I've gone from 7/10 pain (where 10/10 was a dislocated and fractured shoulder that wasn't reset for four hours) to 1/10, and it will be mostly gone by the morning. I find that ibuprofen and colchicine barely dent the pain, and 20mg codeine might give me 4 hours of fractured sleep. The only reason that I let this bout last so long (four days) was that I was using the last of my previous script before I went to the doctor, but I found out it was 6 months over expiry, and had lost most of its effect."


"I have had severe migraines for years. I finally was put on Topamax about a year ago but that wasn't enough, I still had attacks that kept me from doing anything about 2 times a months.  None of the triptans worked so my doctor finally suggested DHE injections. She taught me to give them to myself so I can do them at home and now I can stop a migraine when it starts and not miss work for days on end. If anything I miss one day here and there."


"I have had severe constipation and I was barely using the bathroom within 8 months I would say I was using the bathroom about once or twice a week. Just last night I tried milk of magnesia and it was a life saver!  barely using the bathroom within 8 months is very dangerous so I was so scared! But this helped and I'm so happy! I feel a lot better!"


"I have been getting these nasty migraines for sometime now, and not even three percocet's work on it! I called the doctor last night and she called in a prescription for Fiorinal. I went and picked it up and took one tablet and within 1/2 I had some relief, then finally 1 later no migraine! Yesterdays migraine started at 1 pm and lasted until about 8 pm. I am still neutral about this drug, however I don't have a migraine today so I think it might have worked! I would like to hear more relief/non-relief stories if possible."


"Xyrem has been life changing for me. I tried several different stimulants but nothing helped me. I finally found Xyrem and felt like I used to. I hate that the cost is ridiculous but it has been the only thing that works."


"Didn't taste great but it worked well with no cramping. Only problem was getting up at 1 AM for the second dose. Plus I was a bit dehydrated even though I drank the recommended water afterwards."


"My son's life is a lot better now that he is receiving this treatment. Why is this medication so expensive? We are on a scholarship through a hospital. My son started treatment in FEB 2009 and his absent rate has gone down. We were in the emergency room too many times. The schools in LA County were going to call the D.A. even, with legal doctor's notes. This medication has helped us that my son went from a "D " to an "A " and honor roll!"


"Worked for me, had mild side effects my virus was cleared. Very glad for this medicine, taken with Pegasys interferon"


"I have been taking gabapentin in significant doses (900mg/4xday).  When it is time for me to take a dose my upper back and my arms will begin to tingle and become cold and my hands will begin to burn. If I wait my arms and back will become very cold and no amount of heat will help. Once I take my dose my symptoms will subside in 15 to 30 minutes.  I take my gabapentin with a 5 mg tab of oxycodone which I take for a variety of serious pain and I think that the combination is much more effective for dealing with neuropathy.  I have not found any studies that support my observation.  I suffer no side effects from this medication."


"I am sleepy that's all I have to say "


"Very effective for birth control. But the side effects are bled for two weeks non stop. Going through depression , horrible mood swings. Would not recommend or reuse. This is my first time getting it & my last."


"The only reason why I got on the pill was because I was getting my period every two weeks and I would spot like crazy! After my visit with my OBGYN I started taking the pill. Now I only get my period for 3 days and it's super light!!! The major downfall I had with it was the crazy mood swings! I would get mad at anything and everything, one minute I'd be happy the next one I'd either be mad or sad. The pill did not cause me to gain weight, it actually helped with weight loss. I currently am off of it right now and my mood swings are they same as if I had barely started taking the pill and I haven't gain any weight either. Luckily my skin did not flare up since I do have a problem with acne."


"I am 23 years old and have been on Lexapro for 7 months for anxiety. I decided to come write a review because I remember when I was first prescribed Lexapro I was in a bit of a panic. I didn't know rather or not to take it and looked for as much information as I could. Most of the review I read were negative but I was in such a bad place that I chose to still give it a try. So, I want there to actually be a good review out there for people to see and read. I can say that Lexapro changed my life. My extreme anxiety is gone. I sleep normally and I feel like a new person. The only complaints I have, is that I am always tired and it KILLED my sex drive. Love it."


"This is the absolute worst pill on the market. My periods used to be fine before this pill. Now my cramps are so horrible that I actually pass out from the pain and puke until the point where I would rather die. My face has broken out and I have gained almost 20 pounds. If I could give this pill a negative review I would."


"Loosened the deep chested tightness and made it much easier to cough mucus up and out."


"I got on nexplanon October of 2015 and was fine at first. I had a regular period the first month on it, just my normal 5 day-ish cycle. And I haven't had a period since. Buuuuut, I am bloated 24/7 (maybe due to not having periods?? idk). I have gained weight.... Like 35-45 pounds. I have mood swings from hell! One minute I'm happy then the next I'm crying and the next I'm angry! Of course it's effective because I haven't gotten pregnant, but the mood swings and awful weight gain have made me miserable. I do not recommend. I should have stuck to the pill!!"


"I have been on and off several birth control medications for several years this is my first bad experience. I was originally put on Ortho Tri-Cyclen then Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, then Sprintec, then something else. But since I have been on TriNessa I have yet to stop bleeding, I started the first day of my period had my regular period for my usual 7 days and have had continued spotting heavily everyday since. Now going on my third week. As far as birth control is concerned very effective since I haven't been able to have sex since I started taking it, not exactly my idea of great birth control. "


"I have been on this pill for 9 years and have always loved it. I basically never have a period and have never been pregnant or had a pregnancy scare. HOWEVER, I got my first yeast infection after about 4 months on this pill. My doctor at the time told me this was normal in women. I have been getting yeast infections 3-5 times a year since starting this pill. My new doctor has informed me that this many yeast infections is, in fact, NOT normal. I have just switched my birth control."


"My daughter has ADHD and has tried every medication out there. Most did nothing but once we tried Daytrana Patches that was exactly what she needed.  Her grades improved as well as her concentration and her attitude. I am so thankful that we found the patch. She has used Daytrana for the last eight years. Even though she is 22 now, it is still a very important tool to help her focus in her last year of college. Organization, planning, study habits and everything else that goes out the window with ADHD is a new way of life and much more pleasant all the way around. Daytrana helps my daughter reach her potential and stay focused. She does have some redness from the patch but she would forget to take a pill everyday."


"I used this to treat acne from ingrown and infected hair follicles on my toosh. I used this in small amounts for 3 days and wound up with a painful sore area. I stopped and then noticed it had all butt stopped the swelling and no new bumps were found. Since then, I used it sporatically and give my skin a chance to heal and I am amazed at how clear it has become."


"Wow if you get prescribed this vile stuff, beg for a substitution. The taste is purely beyond belief. I complained to the doc today before the procedure and he said he usually prescribes Miralax and Gatoraid.  That would have been heaven.  But I got prescribed this by the admissions team. It is horrible horrible stuff.  It works but it's awful"


"I lost 20lbs in 1 week but I made it sure I order medication from only from one pharmacy."


"Condom broke and my fiancé freaked out, so I took the pill to ease his fears. Felt sick to my stomach with in a few hours of taking Plan B. The next day my breast where super sore and tender. I was feeling emotional and and 5 days after taking the pill I started a super heavy with lots of painful cramping period that lasted 13 days. Face broke out in zits at 32 years old, I hardly ever get them any more.  Went to the GYN, she contributed it all to plan b after testing to rule out other issues. Positive effects, I am not pregnant, and the effect of this pill are enough to make me never want to have sex again. Other than that, yuck I feel like shit still 30 days later."


"Had the Mirena inserted in May 2015 to control heavy bleeding after having my second child. My tubes are tied and I have PCOS so dr did not want to do oblasion since my risk of uterine cancer is higher. Insertion wasn't bad, and I had some painful cramping for 24 hours after but felt normal again within a week. Had no period at all in June And around the time my period would have started in July I started bleeding. Not heavy, I wouldn't even soak through one pad a day. A few times fairly large clots came out but I figure that is my body adjusting. It has been almost 2 weeks and I'm still spotting. Noticed a bad odor but no infection. Dr said it takes 6 months to settle so in trying to hang in there!"


"I must say this is GOD sent. I was on Yasmin for polycystic ovarian syndrome and birth control! At first I didn't know that it would help with my acne but it did help.... wow! i Was acne free for the five years that I was on Yasmin. I could actually go out without foundation it was amazing BUT for the past five months I came off the pill because I wanted to start my family, biggest mistake I ever made! My acne came back full blown and even worse than before. In that five months I tried every topical and home remedy but sad to say nothing worked now I'm back on the pill only four days and I'm already seeing a drastic improvement where my acne is concerned."


"Best medicine for tension headaches."


"I was switched from Abilify (which was amazing), to Lamictal (horrible, didn't work), to Latuda.  I'd say that Latuda is a great medication for me.  I have no side effects, have finally been able to get on a normal sleep schedule, and haven't had any manic episodes.  I feel normal again!  I take 40mg at night.  I also take Celexa 40mg daily and 1mg Ativan as needed.  I also take a lot of vitamins.  I've been taking Latuda for 8 months."


"Works great for pain after knee surgery.  Had a little constipation and upset stomach,  but nothing too severe."


"I have been getting the shot since I was 16 (Now 22). No weight gain, no increased appetite for me but everyones bodies are different. I wasnt fond of the shot the first 6 months but all of my minor side effects dissappeared and my body became use to it.

Once I wanted to conceive it took only 3 cycles to become pregnant. Now that I have my daughter I will be going back on the shot and hoping I still have a good outcome with it."


"I took Dilantin for 15 years --- which is why I suffer from P.N.  I am on other anti-seizure drugs and anti-depressants.  I do not know if those meds have delayed or ameliorated my P.N, but I am now 67 and the P.N. is finally getting bad.

No reflexes
No feeling in my feet
Restless leg
Stabbing pain in my feet which can make walking very hard.

I 'save' Gabapentin for the worst symptoms since it makes me sleepy and I do not want to get addicted to the relief it gives me.  But when I cannot relieve the nerve pain in any other way, Gabapentin is a life savior."


"I just started taking this medicine.  I have been taking Hydrocodone with acetaminophen for pain since 2003 but recently discovered that there exists a variation with a medicine that would address inflammation in addition for pain and wondered why, for all these years no one suggested I take that variant.  I specifically asked for it because I have inflammation.  I take it because I have debilitating pain in my lumbar-sacral spine, in my left parietal brain, and I have IC.  I also have triple major scoliosis and major depression. "


"Day two of methyl prednisone. Headaches, insomnia, dizziness, nausea even taken with food. Pain ratio still at eight, hopefully will get to zero, with massage and acupuncture. I have seen wonders with this medication, I just pray I am one of the wonders."


"I have been on this shot for just about one year.

I have had one period since being on it which lasted almost a month not heavy by any means, still very annoying.

Not noticed any weight gain but I always go up and down give or take 3 pounds.

I would recommend it everyone is different and has different side effects so it is unknown how one persons body will take to it.

But worth testing it out.

Hated the Pill!"


"Great product. My skin started to clear up just hours after I applied the first layer. I have always had very oily skin and I'm guessing this is why I didn't have any irritation like dryness or redness to occur. I use it morning and night. I don't even use a moisturizer! Epiduo works great for my mild acne. I would recommend this product to anyone with acne."


"My obsessive compulsive disorder is lifted and is relieved almost immediately best pill ever!"


"I'm almost done with my first pack of Lo Loestrin Fe and I am pretty happy with it. I had minor spotting the second week and light spotting during the two white pills so far. The only side effects I've noticed so far are changes in appetite- first two weeks I was super hungry and then the third week I hardly ate at all. I had some nausea along with the changes in appetite but nothing too major. I have a history with anxiety and the pill has slightly elevated it, but it is manageable. I'd say anyone who is sensitive to high doses of estrogen should definitely try Lo Loestrin Fe."


"I've been taking this medication for 12 weeks (3 months). So far there has been some improvement but I still get new ones on my face frequently. It is barely working and I still look like crap. Those of you who are on week 2 and complaining about it not working it takes time IT WILL NEVER CLEAR UP IN 2 WEEKS. The sooner you realize this the happier you will become. If this med doesn't start working soon it looks like I am heading towards accutane. I wish you all good luck on your journey.

P.S. I also am applying retina-a and clindamycine daily."


"I'm 22 and have two kids. One boy and one girl. I have what I wanted so I got on this and yes there was some pain when they put it in. I haven't had a period yet and I've had it in for over 10 weeks after having my baby. Had it inserted at my six week appointment."


"I have used it in several patients and the result was awesome."


"Provigil (Modafinil) has been a good addition to my regimen for dealing with the symptoms of narcolepsy.  I take different doses depending on severity of symptoms.  I take 50 mg. twice a day most of the time.  Or 100 mg. twice a day.  I have tried 200 mg. once or twice a day and that's where the side effects kick in (very dry mouth and headaches).  It does keep me awake during the day most of the time, but sometimes I feel as if I never took it.  But that's where adding coffee or caffeine pills really helps.  I feel safe taking this med and I'm happy to have discovered it."


"I'm 62 and have suffered from depression ever since I can remember,and through the years have only had moderate success with all the other medicines. This one is horrible after only two days I was off the wall, breaking things, screaming and other nasty responses. There is nothing like feeling hopeless again."


"I have been on Aviane for about 3 weeks and the longer I've been taking it the less I notice certain side effects. The very first week was Hell. I had the worst mood swings of my life. I was contemplating switching but held on and powered through and now I haven't experienced them! The one thing that I complain about now is that my breasts are VERY tender and I've been a little bit more sleepy"


"After being on Diovan for three months I notice ankles are less swollen than in the past but continue to swell. I also take Arimidex, a cancer medicine. Diovan has proved to be the best medicine for me to date."


"I've been on Paxil CR (37.5 mg/day) for 6 years now.  I wouldn't even consider going off at the moment.  It means I can live a normal life now.  This is a wonderful medication."


"For several years I have been prescribed 1mg to take up to 3 times per day - sometimes I take less, some days even none! But I find that Xanax does for me what adderall does for children suffering add. For some reason the drug helps me have precision focus, a clear mind, better communication, rapid fire thought processing, and motivation - just for starters. I don't expect to take it for the rest of my life, but I go thro prolonged periods of anxiety and antisocial behavior (will urinate in bottles in my room when at my worst). Glad  to know there are a few people who Experience the same effects  using Xanax as Maintenance.  It's been a life saver for me! Curious to understand why it has this off label effect on us select few."


"Originally I was prescribed Ortho Tri Cyclen but due to insurance issues I was given Tri Sprintec. I know you're supposed to give things usually 2-3 months to work but let me tell you this pill has worked miracles! The first 3 weeks were terrible. I was breaking out even worse than I already was. I mean, I was getting acne right above my eyelids, underneath my eye, & just about everywhere else on my face. I was so nauseous for a couple days that I almost had to skip a wedding. But I am SO glad I stuck to this. My face has been the clearest it's been in a year. I'm still battling 1-2 zits but that's nothing compared to what it was. I am left with A LOT of dark spots but a few hydrafacial treatments should help with that."


"I am 19 years old, turning 20 next month, and i have panic disorder for a long time. Im gay and my life was not easy at all, my dad doesnt support me and then i got also depression. I take this medication for about 2 years now and i can tell you: it works so good and it saved my life. I was afraid of going out in public, working, etc. My life was terrible with all my anxiety attacks and that was destroying my life. If you feel the same, talk to your doc and ask for xanax, but DO NOT TAKE without prescription. IT IS a drug and you must control it!!!!"


"I had been taking Norco for the past 2 months and I have to say that I really don't like it. It really upsets my stomach. I wish I could find something that works but doesn't make me feel like this."


"I was diagnosed with ADD in forth grade, however my doctor decided to just have the school put me on a learning program, (504 Plan). Throughout the years, I started to develop depression, agitation, severe anxiety and OCD. I had tried EVERY anti-depressant, and they had all failed. My PCP started me on benzos, which helped a little. I decided it was time to go see a mental health physician assistant. She went over all my symptoms and she immediately realized that I had been mis-diagnosed and the PCP had me on about 5-6 medications. She started me on Vyvance 40 MG and my life has forever changed. I am generally very happy, and able to function, went from severe anxiety to mild, which is helped with Valium. I recommend Vyvance!"


"18 year old college female. I've been medicated for 4 years now and tried concerta (which was hell) and Vyvanse (the devils drug). Evekeo was amazing at first kind of similar to Vyvanse and then it went downhill. Whereas on Vyvanse I just wouldn't eat and was depressed and spacey, this one didn't have side effects like that. But after awhile it made me incredibly mean, and didn't seem to take away the verbal impulse side of the hyperactivity. I'm normally an incredibly happy person but when I'm on this medicine I'm a bitch to whoever over whatever for no reason at all. It did help with the focusing though."


"Librium was great for my alcohol detox. While it didn't completely get rid of my shakes  it did alleviate the nastier symptoms of my withdrawl. There was no nausea, minimal anxiety etc. Helps immensely with alcohol detox."


"I have bronchitis was coughing non stop with chest congestion. I bought a package of Mucinex DM, I took one tablet around 10pm fell asleep at midnight woke up at 2am jittery still completely wide awake at 6am, good news is I can breathe clearly I haven't coughed in 8 hours; it works that's why I give it a 9, but this stuff is really powerful, I might be awake another 24 hours."


"This is my third day on Belviq and I started off at 244 pounds.  Today I weighed 242lbs.  I am incorporating exercise today and I bet by next Monday I will be down at least 7 pounds.  Belviq does curve your appetite but you also have to have will-power not to eat just because you see food.  Sometimes you don't have to be hungry to want food.  My goal is to be down 70 pounds by July! The only side effect that I have experienced so far was headaches and I just popped an ibuprofen and they are gone! May God help everyone on Belviq achieve their healthy goal!"


"I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about six months ago and since then I have been on Lialda and it has helped tremendously."


"I have been on Suboxone now for 3 years.  I have never relapsed, nor have I ever had any cravings.  I was addicted to pain pills.  Started out by getting a script after an accident.  It immediately gave me energy and made me happy (at first) before I knew it I was completely addicted.  If I did not have it I went into withdrawals and I had to take it to feel normal or even get out of bed.  This went on for 7 years.  Suboxone gave me my life back.  I do not get a buzz, I feel normal.  I would not have been able to do this without Suboxone and my wonderful Doctor. "


"I only took 175 mg of ROBOXIN and about 30 minutes later my heart was pounding out of my chest and I had a throbbing headache. That lasted about 2 hours. I'm on other medications and checked for interactions with Zoloft, Lexapro, and Wellbutrin. Anybody experience the same or similar?"


"I have recently been put on this drug for back and knee pain and it seems to be working ideally for the pain! "


"I was on DEPO PROVERA before Lutera. It was terrible. My mood swings were terribly out of control, bleeding was always there and depression occurred. Switching to Lutera was a good idea because it is a low dose birth control which has helped my mood swings tremendously!"


"Worst medicine ever!!!!! I got this to get rid of my UTI and while taking it I had the worst side effects. Itching, rash, headaches. And I am off the medication finally it's been a week now and I am still getting headache's. I don't know what to do. I wish I never took it."


"Doctor said this will help my blood pressure, high cholesterol and diarrhea. I also had gall bladder removed. It works. I'm 69 and plan to stay on it. Tired of looking for restrooms."


"I have tried many birth control pills and this is the only one I felt normal on. Although I have stopped getting my period, (my doctor says this is normal) I have no other side effects at all."


"I have been on this medication for a month and am so happy about this. I was getting UTI's all the time for over 15 years. This medication is a Godsend! I have no pain or infections. My UTI's were so severe I had to go to ER, couldn't wait for my  MD. I do drink a lot of water with this medicine too, about a gallon a day. I highly recommend this medicine for chronic UTI sufferers."


"Synarel has been a god send for me in many ways.  It helped with pain and had much fewer side effects than depo lupron.  I felt like myself again while taking the synarel and it helped suppress the endo for over 2 years."


"Was prescribed 100mg time release then 200mg for severe chronic lower back pain and it has changed my life. Was taking Percacet but wanted to change to something less habit-forming and am glad I did. Quality of life has drastically improved and has allowed me to avoid risky surgery (3 herniated discs and dual sciatica). I stop taking it about once every 3 months to "check in" on dependency and effectiveness but have been taking it steadily for 4 years now. Some light side effects including slightly decreased libido and hard stool totally manageable. Not everyone reacts the same (my mother suffers from similar problem to mine and it doesn't work as well for her). Recommend you try it for a week, then evaluate. Loopy for first 2 days. :)"


"I have mild acne but it was quite prevalent around my chin area. Within hours of the first application I saw dramatic improvement! I had tried everything this was the only thing that truly worked and worked long term. Within 3 days of use I had no raised pimples on my face. I still had some red spots or scars from the pimples but within a few more days the flat scars went away and now my skin looks flawless again. I strongly recommend. It also works well if you use the proactive facewash while using Benzaclin as a topical treatment. Benzaclin can be worn as a light layer under a moisturizer and face makeup. It is not noticeable and will continue to heal the pimples. Highly recommended."


"I'm taking 1800 mg a day for neuropathy from chemo (xoplatin).  It doesn't work"


"I have been taking various Benign Prostate Hyperplasia medicines, Cardura is the most recent and is the only one that does not cause as severe retro-ejaculation. My urologist put me on daily Cialis and my ejaculations have greatly improved and my frequency of urination at night also has improved. Only problem is my insurance will only prescribe 24 capsules which they consider a 90 day supply. I can get Viagra 10 mg which 24 capsules will last several months."


"I have been on this medication for a little over 1 month. In the beginning the side effects took a while to get used too - water..water..water...  I am still constantly thirsty. I was itchy in the beginning but it has gotten better.  I have lost about 17 pounds  and feel sooo much better!!!! I have to admit I read through the reviews before I even started the medication and was very hesitant - I am so  glad that I gave it a try. This has been a life changer so far."


"Horrible effects on teeth. My teeth are literally falling out and disentergrating!  I am scheduled to have full mouth implants."


"I have had the Implanon since May of 2009, and my experiences are similar to the bad ones. From the time I got it, I had light periods for almost 6 weeks. Then the bleeding stopped for about 2 months. Now it is September and I started again and it will leave and come back. I have also noticed that when lifting heavy objects I will have unexpected bleeding. I haven't taken it out because I am in school and this problem is a lot better than having an unexpected pregnancy. However, those who don't have the patience for this type of thing beware. I do have mood swings, my skin was beautiful before, now I break out.  No headaches and weight gain yet. However, this process is scary because your periods are unpredictable."


"Side effects have been bad, considered stopping medication, but persevered!  Three days ago, I started to be more clear headed, more optimistic and excited, as I believe this drug is working, beyond my expectations.  Does anyone know if all of the side effects will stop, the longer I take it??"


"I can say it did some pretty good things for my back (bulging disc). It wasn't a cure at all by any means, but helped a lot. Downside. Same as others, depression, huge appetite increase but at same time everything tasted horrible, bad mood swings, suicidal thoughts (not normal for me), horrible insomnia, blurred vision, cold sweats, hands feet tingling, numb. Swollen mouth, gums, lips, almost unbearable chest pain. At one point wife was ready to call 911. Oh, can't forget the late night extreme skeletal pain. Every bone in my body felt like it was about to snap. If you're like I was and are in so much pain you can hardly walk, try it. Be careful."


"Didn't have a bowel motion for a week and finally somehow found the will within me to drink this stuff. Was on the pot within half an hour and I have gotta say, I'm a new woman"


"I googled metallic taste from Clarithromycin as its revolting and wanted to know if anyone else experienced it too. I am on a 14 day course because of a sinus infection, which has made a world of difference. I just have an annoying cough and I have 3 days left of the course. What I have found fascinating is other people mentioning crazy vivid dreams and blurry eyes. I never would have associated it to the drug had I not read these comments. I'll stick out the course as I don't want the sinus infection to come back but boy it's a weird antibiotic!!"


"I have basil carcinoma of my face cheeks and face had lumps. I have Scottish skin. Started Efidux treatment and after day 3 I became violently ill. For 10 days I couldn't hold any food down what ever. Both exit body points were hammered with oozing duck poo like stuff I have never experienced before. Bloated stomach, gas build up and always on the toilet. After day 10 the systems eased and I started to hold some food down. Currently on day 16 of treatment an day face looks like an iron has been applied to both FACE CHEEKS. Very painful and still feel unwell. This better work because I have researched this product before commencing and there were no side affects listed like I have had. Met another patient of efidex with similar side effects."


"I just recently started being treated for bipolar. And also just started taking Nuvigil, it has help me so much. I don't just want to sleep it has made me feel better(normal). I am kind of grateful that my doctor started treating me!"


"I bought this after getting a mild YI after a round of antibiotics for a UTI. I thought I would clear it up quickly. What a mistake! I bought the Equate (Wal-Mart) 1-dose kind - ladies take note, I saw one lady that had good results with this but I did NOT. Within a few minutes of inserting the suppository, I felt like I had red hot pokers shoved up my vagina with fire ants marching up and down the pokers. I tried to get some sleep and managed to drift off, thinking it would be better in the morning. WRONG. I'm on day 2, about 19 hours after insertion, and still in extreme pain. I've tried showering, baths, etc, all to no avail - and it seems that I may have UTI returning! WHY IS THIS ON THE MARKET?!"


"I took both Avastin and Tarceva in my 2nd clinical trial. I believe the Tarceva was the cause of Crohn's like side effects.The Avastin seemed not as bad with side effects. Presently using Votrient and approaching a five year longevity mark when my statistical would have been 8-10 months."


"Started taking medication for anxiety around twenty years ago. Tried the SSRI's and they worked pretty well but I felt out of it and my ejaculation was difficult and painful. Been taking Nefazadone with Wellbutrin for about two years now and feel a lot better than I have in a long, long time and no liver trouble so far. The dry mouth finally went away after about a year but that was the only side effect that I had."


"I'm 26 and was on Yaz for 8 months, first time taking birth control pills. I had very tender breasts and a light two-week period for the first month. It made my acne disappear and made my body hair slightly thinner/took care of a weird chin hair that I had. No noticeable weight gain or loss. I had vaginal dryness throughout, just took a little more time to get me going although no change in sex drive. Experienced vaginal irritation post-pill due to soap I was using. Periods never got lighter/shorter. Only slightly reduced PMS (cramps, bloating, etc.)"


"I have been a habitual smoker off and on.  For most of the past 10 years it was a hobby, you know smoke a few after some drinks.  However, in the last 18 months it became a habit again and I was smoking 1/2 to 3/4 of a pack a day. I knew I had to stop.  So here comes the Chantix.  Well, I am now a month into it and 3 weeks smoke free.  Vivid dreams..YES.  Other stuff I am not so sure.  There have been a lot of things happening in my life, so maybe I am a bit blue and anxious about that.  However, I am THRILLED that I am not smoking. I did try once about 10 days after I quit, and it was the most awful thing ever.  I did not even get through the second drag!  There was absolutely no pleasure in it at all!  Chantix is worth it."


"Until Banzel, I was taking Ativan at least once every day.  And the after effects left me really in a bad mood and sometimes aggressive.  With Banzel, and my other seizure medicines, I haven't needed Ativan since December of 2009.  I can even get out of the house.  It works for me."


"so far its helping out pretty well"


"Treating patients with manic episodes I often prescribe Risperdal Consta. It works very well."


"I got Nexplanon inserted at my 6 week checkup after having my daughter in July 2014. I have experienced 20lb weight gain since, severe cramps, depression, nonexistent libido and nauseousness. Definitely works as birth control, but isn't worth the side effects."


"Took generic simvastatin for 10 days.  Lowered my cholesterol by 60 points from 200 to 140.  Had to stop taking it though because of muscle pain side effects.  Taking Crestor now for 5 days.  No side effects so far.  Wish there was a generic."


"Three weeks ago today my bad back suddenly turned in to the most excruciating thing I had ever felt and I mean the pain was serious, just to put this in perspective, I'm a 24 year old guy I've broke ribs legs and arms and just sat their laughing about it but this reduced me to a mess I literally lay on the floor in the fetal position crying. Turns out I have 2 bulges on separate discs, one of which is very bad and is pressing on my nerves causing me to loose 70% feeling in my right leg. I am now taking 2 naproxen, 2 tramadol, 2 paracetamol, 1 ondansteron, I can't really speak for the naproxen alone but as a whole they do the job, they really are making life more bearable until I can have the op"


"I was on this pill for a year and it was my first birth control, so I wasn't sure what side effects to expect. My periods were about 2 weeks every month (mostly spotty but still had to wear a pad or tampon- annoying!). I had very low sex drive. My skin felt so oily and my chin felt almost like it was bloated. I got big cystic acne on my chin and my forehead regularly- I never had acne as a teenager at all! I loved my period week because my skin cleared up slightly and when it came time to take the pills again on Sunday I could feel it in my face the next day. I've only been on a different type of pill for 3 days but I cannot believe how much better I feel overall."


"I was given a month supply and after 2 days the side effects are to great I just can't take it anymore.  I wake up in the middle of night to use restroom and will be so dizzy I feel like I will be about to faint.  I'll sit down to use restroom and my arms and hands start to tingle.  My calves are also VERY sore.  I'm not allergic to any other medication that I know of either.  Doctor is calling in a different medicine tomorrow."


"Ampyra has made my quality of life a more positive experience! I used to have problems with my gait, Ampyra makes it so I am able to walk straight again.  Also, I have noticed a drastic change in my cognitive functions.  My thought process, language barrier and my ability to remember things short term has improved.  I can really tell a difference if I forget a dose!  Not a cure, but a step in the right direction!"


"I have been on the 75 mcg Fentanyl patch for about four years now. I've have had problems finding pharmacies that carry my patches so I hope they aren't taking them off the market. But they have helped me a lot with my back before/after surgery I switch them every 48 hrs otherwise I start going through withdrawal."


"So I think people should be aware that there are two products and two percentages. There is a cream and a gel. There are also a 0.1% and 0.3%. The one sold in the store is 0.1%. BenzaClin was leaving me with little bumps on my head (I'm athletic and it started to create fungus on my head) while prescription retinol gel was just making me red and puffy. I tried the 0.1% gel from Walmart. I was aware it would take awhile so I gave it two months to work. My skin looks so much better now. I use Neutrogena anti-wrinkle moisturizing on top of it. I'm guessing if it's like any retinol product you have to build into using higher percentage, at this point I could probably ask my doctor for 0.3% but I figure why mess with a good thing."


"I lost 5 pounds after a month of using Tri-Nessa. It was the 3rd or 4th birth control I tried, and the only one that keeps my period under control. With the other birth controls I tried, I had 2 periods per month! Not fun when you are a newlywed!! I have been taking Tri-nessa for 4 years and have not gotten pregnant. The only complaint I have is lower sex drive, but there are ways around that! ;-)"


"Cough and rash side effects annoying."


"Update: Starting weight 221.6lbs on April 8, 2017 today I am 193.4lbs. Seemed to have reached a plateau.  Also had a point there over the weekend that I was starting to have cravings and worried that the medication wasn't working as well as it did in the beginning. Chocolate cravings....Hmmmmm....but now I am back on track and I didn't give in to the cravings other than my Carbsmart ice cream bars, and I will add time on my recumbent bike which I have not been doing to help push past this number on the scale. Good luck with your journey!"


"I first started using Reclipsen about a year ago. The first thing that I noticed was that my libido was noticeably reduced, (which was a bit annoying,) and my overall emotions were dulled a bit, so that I was more indifferent to things than before. (Although I don't particularly mind this, that might be a breaking point for someone else.) I tried Enskyce for a bit, and ended up switching back due to side effects. Reclipsen works better for me, and keeps my periods light and regular. I've never had an issue with weight gain or acne, so that's something to be considered, as well. All in all, I'm happy with it."


"I get bronchitis very easily during high pollen seasons. It starts with normal to me allergy and asthma symptoms. I go to sleep and wake up--BOOM! I have bronchitis. This happened last Friday. When I woke up about 10:00 I was running a fever and coughing terribly. Fever went up to 105.2. It scared me. Over the weekend I fought the fever the best I could. I was in Dr.s office by 8:00 on Monday. I haven't seen a big improvement in anything except my fever is gone. I'm on day 3 of z pack and prednisone. Still coughing outrageously. Now it feels like  I have a head cold also. I sneezed about a hundred times last night. I will see how I feel on last day of z pack but so far it hasn't done what I had hoped it would."


"I used Mobic for 1 year with great results for knee pain and

no side effects.  Orthopedic surgeon would not continue prescription for fear of long-term effects.  Knee pain returned within 5 days.  Will consult with primary care doc

for new prescription."


"Had beautiful skin. Spent life caring for it. Developed light flushing as side effect from antibiotics. Went to derm (as recommended online). Derm prescribed mirvaso. With 1st use it completely destroyed my life. My skin went dead pale & my ears turned hot & red (didn't apply it to ears). 48 hours later entire face turned red (did not apply it to entire face). Face began developing a rash getting worse and worse for 3 months. For 3 months have had a severe flushing disorder induced by Mirvaso (not better yet). All food caused flushing. Have health problems from weight loss. On a strict diet (there are 21 foods I am able to eat). Can't lie down. Lost job. Nerve pain in nose, jaw, gums,  lips, eyes, ears. Burning soap in eyes feeling"


"I am 22 years old and have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about a year. No side effects and I only have a (SHORT) period every other month. Perfect."


"So, I'm 18 and I was prescribed this medication about a year ago, but it was the generic brand of Wellbutrion 100 mg. Now I am on Wellbutrin 150 mg. Ever since I have been on this medication, I have become so irritable with everything. I'm not sure why. But it seems like every little thing sets me off and I can't stand anyone. It's to the point that I'm starting to get I'm trouble with my parents, my boss at work, and even sometimes at school... I get so aggravated with everyone and everything. It has caused me very bad anxiety. I have an appointment scheduled with my psychiatrist in 3 days and I am going to be lowered off of this medication. It has been the worst experience with medications I've had. It's made me miserable!"


"It was super helpful with making my skin smooth and Getting rid of acne scars! I do have a little bit of a breakout but nothing compared to before I used Epiduo!"


"I was on topamax for a month and lost 6lbs. I could handle the tingling in my hands and feet but I stopped taking it because my period never stopped!  It started the day after my first dose and ended three days after I stopped taking topamax. I do have the birth control Implanon implanted in my arm. So maybe those drugs combined doesn't work well. I still had migraines but they weren't intense."


"21 years old, I got Nexplanon put in 6 months ago, on Sept. 4th 2013. Before that I was on the Depo-Provera shot, which made me break out all over my chest and back, and the jawline - hormonal areas for acne. I cannot take estrogen birth control because of migraine issues, and so progestin only was the option for me. Nexplanon PROS: Periods stopped completely, did not affect my mood - always felt like myself, very effective method of birth control so I did not have to use condoms. CONS: Weight gain of 7lbs in 6 months, and the biggest con of all. ACNE, ACNE, ACNE! I used to have clear skin, even before I went on estrogen birth control. I would have stuck to Nexplanon if it did not give me a pizza face."


"I never had any problems with depression until I got hurt at work in 2009. Since then I've lost 5 homes, 2 cars and have been completely stressed and severely depressed. Most days I didn't even get out of bed. I became very anti-social. I was prescribed Prozac and am only on day 5 and I can already feel a difference. I'm up and out of bed. I have more energy then I've had in months and I don't feel like everything is hopeless anymore. I'm still having issues with irritability and severe mood swings, but hopefully my doctor can treat that with something else. Overall I couldn't be happier with this medication. So far so good, not even any side effects to speak of. It's great. "


"Didn't work for me. I had serious allergic reaction. My tongue swelled up, my cheeks were going numb and had to take Benadryl within 30 minutes of taking this medicine."


"Awake ..... Euphoria!"


"I love the patch. I have been on it almost 3 years now. My only problem with it is pulling it off. It tends to leave an outline on my body that is hard to remove. The best way to get rid of the outline is to just move the patch to another spot and let the previous spot clear up. I haven't gained any weight or had any side effects from it. My sex drive has increased but that is probably due to the fact that I feel so well protected when I am on the patch. I do have a concern about how long will it take me to get pregnant when my husband and I decide to have children, but I will cross that bridge when I get there."


"After my BC pill that I had been taking for about 18 years was discontinued I have been searching for one that I like. My doctor suggested Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. It's been almost 1 year and I want to change pills. Every month I experience a migraine along with my period that lasts 2-3 days. I have also had nausea, mood swings, bloating and trouble losing weight. Recently I have had breakthrough bleeding lasting several days. All of these symtoms are a first for me."


"Just started Brintellix 3 days ago. Been on effexor xr 225mgs for about 8 yrs & it stopped working. Doctor told me I should be done with effexor in about 10 days. Ugh. I dropped immediately to 150mg & starting to feel bad. I really want this to work but worried the Effexor withdrawal will get the best of me. Anyone else made this transition?"


"My started Atripila in September of 2013. I had horrible side effects for a year. And I am still fighting issues wih my counts. When my viral load goes down so does my CD4 counts. My viral load will not stay down. It varied between 30 and 60 while my CD4 counts has never been over 200."


"The Best."


"I became very addicted to opiates from chronic pain that I was talking about 10 30mg oxycodone in a day. Trust me when I say that methadone has saved my life and my pocket. I will NEVER go back to that life. Methadone keeps me pain free everyday all day. It's the best by far. Hope your experience is as good for you as for me and many others."


"Just started using this one particularly, but every brand of MDI has similar issues people are complaining of here. I saw lots of reviews about it clogging and being useless. Just thought I'd recommend what I've learned to others to fix this problem. If you put warm/hot water in a cup and let it soak for a few seconds.. (I'll even shake it around in the water to help clean it) then dry it on a window sill or somewhere warm. You'll find that it will unclog the dispenser and is good as new  (as long as it is dry before you use it again). Happy breathing. Xoxo."


"After having my daughter in February of 2012, I got the nexaplon implant because we didn't want another child right off the bat.. I think I only had a period 3 times.. I had it removed June 25, 2015 because we wanted to try for another baby.. Since then, I've had maybe 6 periods.. sounds great, right? No, not great at all. My periods have lasted 11 days, then 2 1/2 weeks, then 4 weeks, 5 weeks, etc. but they're every other month. They've been very heavy periods, I go through 2 1/2 boxes (36 ct.) of super tampons, easily, during my periods. Then they slowly taper off, to leave me with spotting for 2 weeks. Currently, I've been on my period for 3 weeks now. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"I have only been on lamotrigine for three weeks now but it is starting to work for me already. I started at 25 MG for the first two weeks, then increased to 50mg last week, as directed by my NP. I was misdiagnosed for 13 years with major depression before this. I tried several different antidepressants that did not work in the long run. When I was rediagnosed by my NP and a clinician at the local mental health institute, I went on an anti-seizure med that also treats bipolar (can't remember which one) but it made me sleep for over 12 hours each night and I was extremely groggy the day day. So I was put on lamotrigine. So far, the only side effects I have are increased hunger and worsened insomnia (already have insomnia no matter what."


"Back in 2008 I took Accutane it cleared my acne but gradually it came back. Now 2016 I'm on another round. I tried everything for Clinique, proactive, to essential oils nothing works like accutane."


"I have been taking it for a month, side effects have been awful. Constipation, feeling like a zombie, not sleeping at night, tired in the day, no sex drive. I'm thinking about switching cause I feel like my head is so foggy and I am not living life to the fullest. Anxiety symptoms decreased, OCD behaviors increased."


"Took 3 pill an hour ago. Rev condensed dose is 1-3. I have not left the bathroom. It say gentle overnight relief on the box. Should say painful relief in 20 minutes. I am regretting taking the 3. I have a feeling I will be up all night.  Works amazing. But please be careful with how many you take. The stomCh cramps only happen before you need to go and during but are over after. Completely detox and cleans you system worth it!"


"I started taking phentermine in February weighing 207. As of April 2nd I'm down to 191. The doctor prescribed topamax since I have been in the same weight for 2 weeks. Today is my first night taking the topamax. I was unsure of taking it because of the side effects. Hopefully it goes good this week."


"I have just taken my second dose of Cymbalta.  My doctor suggested that I take 20 mg for 14 days and then go to 30 mg.  Right now I can tell that my depression has noticeably subsided and my desire to sleep all day/night has decreased.  I'm actually sleepy when I go to bed now.  Slept for about 4 hours and woke up and right back to sleep.  I have also noticed that I've begun to yawn during the day which I can't ever remember doing.  But all in all I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is finally the mediation for me.  I've been down in the valley this time for almost a year and I'm ready to start living my life again."


"I have had good results with this medicine."


"I just started taking Sprintec because I had a large cyst (14x8) on one of my ovaries, which caused me to lose that ovary so my doctor but me on this to help prevent any future cysts. I'm only 16. Plus my periods were really irregular, it could be 28 days or 36 days before I would get my period and they always lasted 7 days. I only have minor cramps which is normal and so far the only side effect is I feel hungry after taking the pill at night. Before I had really bad acne so I used Proactive (which worked good for me) and so far the pill has not made me break out. So far I'm loving it and hope it stays this way! Definitely recommend but everyones body is different."


"I have just recently started taking this for allergies that leaves me with hives and/or rashes. I have found it very effective, it doesn't take long before it starts working. I have realized that it does sedate me and/or is very effective, its very hard to wake up while under the influence of this medicine."


"I find the drug good, my doses go up and down depending on how I am feeling. I have put on weight at 225mg and I was told that you are not supposed to exceed 225mg. I will go back down to 150mg for the summer. I usually go up in the winter months."


"It wasn't a bad birth control other than the mood swing and anxiety. 6 months into it I started to have a really hard time breathing and chest pain and swelling of arms and legs. I checked out side effects and these are some of the more severe ones. I took myself off of it a week ago, and I feel so much better, I'm less anxious and moody and the pain and swelling."


"In May of 2011, I wound up in the ER because I couldn't stand or walk. I was in the middle of our local mall and started experiencing HORRIBLE pain in the pelvic region as well as sever hot and cold flashes. I was misdiagnosed with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, and was given several medications, including prescription Hydrocodone. None of them touched the pain. Eventually, doctors realized that I was having cysts on both ovaries at the same time. They put me on Sprintec which is affordable and I have had no pain! It was hard for me to adjust to. Soreness in breasts and nausea, but my body has adapted to it and I have been on it for four months now and I love it."


"Have taken Mucinex D several times over the past few years with congestion.  It is the best thing out there to make me feel better during the day but I only take it in the morning with food.  Even then I usually don't sleep great at night but do not experience the insomnia others are talking about"


"bumpy skin on legs and feet"


"I took Pyridium for my urinary tract infection. I have taken this medication many times and it works WONDERS. Takes away that uncomfy pressure and burning sensation. When I take it, it takes about 45 - 1 hr to kick in initially and then depending how bad my urinary tract infection is I take it every 4 hours.

Usually I get no symptoms however this time taking it I do, I have gotten blurred vision, bad drowsiness, cold sweats and hot flashes, BUT they are all manageable!"


"admit it losing weight is really a lifestyle adjustment. ive taken qsymia for a year now have had no side affects and great results. withe exception of a little fatigue but i also work 70 hours a work the doc suggested taking b-12 and vitamin d and it has helped a lot. i started out at 248 lbs and now weigh 182 and still going. slow but surely its hard for me not alot of time to get in the exercise and that is realy the key with medicine. as long as you do that the diet isnt as important. i have found in my case!"


"This is a very good method for weight loss. I actually loss 43lbs using this pill along with exercise. It really gives you energy. This is really my 3rd time on this pill.  But once your body gets used to it it does not work as well. But overall I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to lose weight."


"Love it!  Other birth control products cause crazy mood swings for me but with this one none.  Plus it is easy!  I don't have to remember to take a pill every day.  If you live a busy life like I do this is the birth control to have!"


"I've been on this pill for about 4 years and haven't had any problems. Periods are so light and last about 3 days as long as you take the pills when you're suppose to. I haven't had any side effects that I have noticed. This pill is perfect"


"Been on Nexplanon for 3 years now and I can say it's the best birth control there  is out there. I dont have to worry about taking pills or using a back up at all. I'm definitely be going back to get my second one. I only get headaches and I haven't had a period but other then that it's all good."


"I have been on Tasigna since being diagnosed in November 2013.  Given how I felt at the point of diagnosis, I am so happy with Tasigna.  I have minor side effects and my energy level has been great.  Early results are great.  Time will tell."


"I got up Sunday morning with a cold sore. Didn't get chance to take Valtrex until Monday afternoon around 2 pm. By Tuesday morning it was already clearing up. And by Thursday it was gone. Usually without taking any medication my cold sore would last about a week and a half to two weeks."


"Best thing out there for my son that is now 10 years old. We have tried several others medicine with no help. Thank God for focal in he is a new boy!"
