"Love this stuff. Miraculous. I am  50 yeas old and have suffered with cystic acne since age 36. Nothing helped, and it left my once nice skin discoloredand scarred. I saw "the best" dermatologists in Dallas, Los Angles and New York, spent a fortune and nothing helped. Finally, I met a dermatologist from a small town completely by chance and he urged me to try spironolactone. Within one month my skin was clear and still is.  One caveat: when I first started taking, I was dizzy and nauseated, so I stopped taking it.  The  doctor told me to try again with half the dosage, and it worked like a charm."


"I was placed on Benicar HCT for over 4 years ago, after trying many other blood pressure medications. It has been the only prescription that has significantly reduced my blood pressure without any side effects. The only bad effect it is the cost."


"I find if you were on a birth control before Loseasonique you will already have the hormones in your system and will have less side effects!"


"The side effects increased with intensity the longer I took it. Muscle, joint and bone pain. I reached the point where I needed a cane to walk.  Once I stopped taking it, problems all went away."


"Got carried away with husband.

Took pill.

God super sick.

Sore breasts

Nausea

As the week continued... Added a few more symptoms.

Diarrhea

Cramps

Hot and cold feelings

Vomiting

Almost fainted

About 2 weeks after started feeling a little better.

Then had the worst period of my life. Felt like I was dying.

So much blood. Terrible cramps. Vomiting for a whole night. Could barely eat for two days.

But I think it worked. Haven't taken a test to see but I assume since I had my period it means it worked.

So... It works. And we had sex on day 14 my most fertile day - took it 5 hours after. But... The most terrible and sickest I have ever been for 2 weeks and worst period ever. And I was continually bloated."


"Been on Victoza for 6 weeks now (along with Metformin) for insulin resistance and weight loss.  Have lost 17 pounds so far, 25 more to go. Started taking the Victoza in morning and had nausea 8-10 hours after injecting. Switched to taking it at 4 or 5 pm and now sleep through nausea.  Definitely suppresses appetite.  Feel satisfied eating like a normal "thin" person now.  Have more frequent headaches but ibuprofen takes care of that.  Very thankful to my gynecologist for sending me to an endocrinologist for help.  It's so liberating to think my weight problems are not just because I'm weak and have no will power!  There's a physiological reason it's been so hard for me to lose weight! Very happy with this medicine."


"I took one pill yesterday morning and my God, I was sick for the entire day! I read reviews on the medication and how nauseated people became, I ignored the reviews because I usually have an iron stomach. Money down the drain! I have tried phentermine, which worked, I also tried belviq 15 day trial, did nothing for me! I guess I will have to really work hard with exercise and diet, I am at my biggest 5'0- 160 lbs. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I will find a way to lose some weight."


"I was first given this medicine for intractable migraines at the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago.  The headaches were so severe that I could not even lay my head on a pillow.  After treatment with Orphenadrine Citrate 60mg IM every 6 hours.  No more migraines.  I maybe have to take it once a month.  When they occur.....it takes care of them.  This is adjunct emergency medicine I might add.  They placed me on Verapamil 180 SA once a day and Keppra at night.  So far so good. Headache free for the first time in over 15 months.  My doctor there was great."


"I have been using Daliresp for 1 week now. It appears to have improved my breathing but I have several of the side-effects. Now I'm having problems with diarrhea, anxiety and trouble sleeping.  I've got a call into my doctor now to see if the side-effects will go away.  If they don't I'll have to go back to Advair."


"I used chateal for almost 3 years. Worked really well for me until recently when I had spotting for like 7 weeks. Then I switched to tarina. Still would recommend chateal it worked great for me for so long."


"I started taking this two months ago, I was told it was the generic version of ortho tricyclen. It sucks. I've never had mood swings or anxiety like this before. I get so mad and emotional over the most ridiculous things and usually Im pretty happy and upbeat. It also did nothing for my cramps during my period, they were terrible and that's not an issue I've had on my previous birth control."


"I got Neplanon in August 2015. It is the first birth control I have ever had. After having it for a week I experienced spotting for about a month. I have absolutely no sex drive which sucks. I have the worst mood swings. I am grumpy all the time. I've gained maybe 5-10lbs. My breasts are extremely tender all the time and have gotten bigger unfortunately (I prefer small boobs). I am considering getting it taken out. I'd recommend this only because it does prevent pregnancy but the side effects are terrible."


"49/F I went to the cardiologist 3/28 because, my heart was racing at like 90-110 on a daily basis. My BP when I got there was 218/106. Mixture of white coat syndrome and an IBS episode I was in the middle of, plus whatever else is the cause of my HBP.  Dr said go to the ER! I declined. He did an EKG and all was fine. Dr prescribed 10mg of Norvasc and Coreq. I went home and took my bp it was 170/100. Took 5mg of Norvasc and 50mg Toprol I was already on. BP came down to about 140/95 in about 12 hours. Pain by my pancreas for 12 hours a few days into it. Feet and ankles swollen like balloons. 4/14 on 10mg my bp averages around 133/86, feet still swollen by night. Feeling A LOT better. Finally, something that works for me. No other side effects"


"I've been on Zarah for about 6 months now, after switching from another pill. The good things I like about Zarah are that my acne has cleared up and I don't have any super crazy side effects....however my period lasts for about 6-7 days and it's very heavy the whole time...this is the worst my period has ever been. I also get a migraine for about 3 days straight when I get my period. Definitely thinking about switching because the 6-7 day period seriously sucks!!"


"I constantly get cold sores . I think it's because I lick my lips to often instead of using Chapstick. But I always keep two bottles of Abreva in my house. The price might throw you off. But it works miracles, gets rid of my blister in a day or two. Love it, can't live without it. Highly Recommend It to everyone !"


"I am a recovering heroin addict. I have been clean for 2 years. Prior to getting clean 2 years ago I tried to get off opiates while being prescribed suboxone. I believe that suboxone is very beneficial to get through withdrawal. My personal experience is that suboxone was just another replacement for my opiate addiction. It was just a substitute for my drug of choice. This time when I got clean I used suboxone for 5 days and then weened off completely. I am 100% clean from any mood or mind altering drugs. I don't see the point in getting "clean" if I am going to be taking another drug to replace the old one. Yes, it is better then using street drugs. But you are lying to yourself if you think your truly clean."


"I have been diagnosed with having panic & anxiety disorders and being bipolar. Klonopin helps me deal with that stress which is the greatest thing because I get to play with my kids a lot more now and take them places in large groups of people. Its helped my life improve, only take as directed."


"I have had the Nexplanon in for 9 months . Getting it inserted was not painful but a good hard pinch.  I bruised afterwards for about 4 days and was sore for about 4 weeks . I had read the reviews on the menstrual cycle being light or not having one. But my own experience, I have a cycle once a month and then about 4 to 5 days later a heavier cycle which last about 3 to 5 days.  I dont mind it because I don't want kids as if now and its good for 3 years. Which is a money saver if you have insurance."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been taking Pradaxa for approximately 6 weeks and have noticed a significant increase in gas, flatulence and loose bowels.  Otherwise, it sure beats Coumadin."


"I have been taking Levora for a year now and it's been working great! I have been with the same guy for a year and we do try and use protection and I haven't gotten pregnant! I have had some side effects when I first started using it. I always wanted to eat, my acne was terrible and I was always crying. The crying was from my face breaking out so badly, after like 4 or 5 months into the pill my acne cleared up and the cravings went away, my face has been clear ever since!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

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

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


"Depression and anxiety and life issues were miserable and impacting my relationships. Went to the doc and found out my blood pressure was sky-high. Described my life issues and he put me on Viibryd and blood pressure meds. Side effects have been mild: restless legs first week, crazy strange dreams that though sometimes violent provoke no anxiety or fear, gas, and aching legs. The legs thing is the worst, though it is subsiding (into my second month of 40mg). But going for walks, made my legs ache like they'd been hit. My bowels move GREAT, which they haven't in a while. The gas is hilarious to me. LOVE this medicine. I feel wonderful."


"I have taken Rebif (hated injections), Tysabri (loved) and Tecfidera.  I lasted 6 months on the drug after experiencing the flushing and feeling blah every day and 10 lbs weight loss which I can't handle.  I was pulled off this past March after having a low White Blood Cell count."


"So I'm on my second pack of this bc & I love it. The first week or so I was nauseous & did throw up, it felt like motion sickness but it only happened twice. No weight gain & have a ton of energy. Only reason I'm taking bc is for hormonal acne & let me tell you this stuff works!! I was on previfim before & nothing.. only made me break out worse. Only thing is on previfem I had NO period it was like spotting & on this bc its a bit heaver but nothing like my regular flow."


"I've had severe siactica pain for 8 years. I take Norco, Skelaxin and Mobic daily for relief. But when the pain gets worse, I usually take 5mg Valium and it works to ease the pain. I recommend it to take only as needed because it can be a very dangerous drug."


"I was put on 5 mg of Abilify 2 months ago to add to 60 mg of Prozac that had stopped working.  I was afraid at first due to all the negative comments of weight gain.  This medication is a blessing.  Felt alive again after taking only 2 weeks.  My life is better than ever.  No weight gain.  This medication does increase your appetite but if you don't over eat you will be fine."


"I am disabled veteran with spinal injury. The opioid med was all I knew for my back. I have since been amazed at the pain reliving ability of this medicine. It helps me eat and allows for a more positive day."


"Well my dr put me on it awhile ago but I really didn't take it.I tried by my self again I started at 292 and I was almost at 279 and I just got lazy with it so I started yesterday on it 5/20/14 weight 286 and I'm 5'4 I hate the side affects tho I'm jittery, heart races, last night I felt like I was confused maybe I was just so tired but we'll see and the dry mouth but that can be a good affect it makes me want to drink more water. I am a chocolate junkie but I didn't crave anything sweet yay!!!!! I wad not hungry and barely ate anything I working on that tho I'm going to try and eat better today I will update next Tuesday"


"I don't know how all these people are saying this is amazing.  6 mg...wide awake.  Brain never shut up all night, crazy dreams when I did sleep which was maybe a couple of hours.  "


"Though this medicine may give you a chance at living longer, the mood swings are massive. I feel depressed and have no energy. I am always nauseous. Everything hurts. My sex drive is basically gone and my periods are slight if not altogether absent. I have shrunk inside a bit so now sex is painful. I have hot flashes that keep me awake at night and make me very unhappy during the day."


"I've taken this for years (3.75mg.) only as needed and it has always worked well and never given me that "high" feeling. It just brings me back to being myself."


"Tramadol is a mixed bag for me, it seems to help some types of pain better than others and seems to work better some days than others. I am on 200 mg extended release and it does not seem to work as well as the short acting pill 4-6 hrs, but is worth the convenience of taking only once a day."


"I am 94 years old and have osteoporosis and severe scoliosis. After I had several fracture and three spontaneous fractures simultaneously, my doctor recommended Forteo treatment. I received daily injections for two years ending in April,1908. Since that time I have had numerous falls, none of which resulted in a fracture."


"I started taking this for birth control.  I have been on it for 1.5 months, and I have no issues with it now.  The first couple of weeks were rough as far as mood swings/over-emotional responses to things.  I was also slightly nauseous at times for the first week, but nothing unbearable or that would make me stop taking it. I still got a little emotional starting back up, after my placebo week, but not as bad and it went away after a couple of days.  My period was much lighter than usual, which was very nice.  Overall, I haven't had a bad experience and my side effects were what I expected for starting any birth control.  No major issues, I'm pretty happy with it so far."


"Side effects of break through bleeding and little relief from thin tissue does not warrant the cost if over $300 with co-pay of $75. This is price gouging for a cream that should cost no more than $20 at the very most -- and I'm being generous.
Over priced meds are out of control.
I won't bother using Estrace anymore."


"I started taking this pill 3 months ago for abnormal bleeding, clots, thick endrometrial wall, not ovulating.
Ever since I had my little girl (now 1 1/2) I have been constantly bleeding. We tried progesterone, DNC. Neither of which helped me whatsoever. I reluctantly finally tried birth control (which has always made things worse). Loestrin 24 FE has done wonders for me. My periods finally got back to 7 days a week. No big blood clots. Acne went away. Best of all the weight that just kept inching on in the past 1 1/2 just started melting off within the first 3 weeks of taking this miracle pill. I have lost over 10 pounds in the last 3 months and have not done a thing. (I gave up trying to lose anything 7 months ago when I was trying)!"


"Before taking Chateal, I was on Sprintec for 9 years. I had a flawless experience with Sprintec, but when my health insurance ended I was left with Chateal. The first few months were fine, but over time I started spotting between periods more and more frequently. I was very careful about taking it at the same time every day, but still the spotting persisted. After just over a year on Chateal and about 6 months of spotting, I switched back to Sprintec a week ago and no spotting yet! Also, while on Chateal I felt down a lot of the time and had pretty bad anxiety. I'd rather pay out of pocket for Sprintec than get Chateal for free. It kept me from getting pregnant though, so it works in that sense."


"I developed severe migraines 5 yrs ago AFTER having a brain aneurysm surgically clipped. 24/7 for 3 months straight.My Neurologist put me on Verapamil.After 3 weeks of being on it I was ready to give it up BUT In the fourth week it finally kicked in and my migraines were gone.I knew I could not live with these migraines the rest of my life 24/7.My neurologist explained to me that the blood from my heart was pumping to fast and to hard in going to my brain. In taking the Verapamil, pumping slowed down and took the pressure off the brainThat was five years ago.Just recently they started up again and she had to raise my Verapamil from 120 mg to 180.I'm praying that it will kick in soon as it's been just under a month. Still having the migrains"


"I'm taking this for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, I've taken it for about 6 months. It has helped slightly. My pharmacy couldn't order it fast enough so 3 days off of it, I had a headache and threw up at work. Overall, I have had help with this. I have to take it at night because it makes me very sleepy."


"Took care of L5 S1 back pain. But the nausea is awful."


"Side effects were debilitating, headaches, nausea. Did not experience much in the way of pain relief."


"Take it right before bed. Worked great."


"It takes 3 hours to kick in which it is a 50/50 chance it won't, I might fall asleep for 2 hours. But I always wake up and will never be able to fall asleep again. On 25mg tablets so unless you get really high ones, don't even bother."


"I wanted something that I didn't have to remember to take everyday since I was going off to college. From the start I had irregular bleeding. I would get my regular period, three days of no bleeding, then another two week "period" then six weeks without a period. As month passed my doctor assured me it would subside by the 9 month mark. It actually never stopped for me so I had it removed exactly one year after having it inserted and my periods returned to normal however ONE month after having it removed I experienced severe abdominal pains that forced me to go to the hospital, only to find out that I now how very large and painful ovarian cysts. I'm almost 100 percent sure it's because of Nexplanon because I never had a history of it."


"This medicine if taken as prescribed is very useful and has saved me from having a melt down plenty of times."


"I got 3 of my wisdom teeth removed and these provide the perfect level of pain management"


"Excellent pain medicine for joint, muscle pain. "


"I love Generess. I had been suffering severe pain during periods due to endometriosis, and after a year   taking this, I am pain free. No negative effects other than occasional cravings. This takes time to really benefit you, so patience was necessary."


"Within an hour of taking my first pill I had an extremely unsettled stomach (much like bad hunger pains). The taste in my mouth was bad the first day but when I got to the third it was unbearable. No drink or chewing gum could get rid of it. Then when I thought things couldn't get any worse I started seeing things in my room and being EXTREMELY anxious and paranoid (I do suffer from anxiety but this significantly worsened it). My dreams have been vivid and disturbing, this joined with the lack of sleep was like torture. Also, I couldn't pass urine properly which left me with a painful bladder. have now completely stopped. Never again. However it did work in beginning to clear up my chest infection, but personally this was not worth it."


"Works wonderfully. Takes a few days to kick in and leaves an unpleasant feeling in the throat though. The latter can easily be dealt with by using it just before eating.

Surprised to see this is a prescription medicine though. It's over the counter in my home country and in other countries I've visited. Same goes for many similar nasal sprays."


"This drug is very effective in treating headache pain."


"I have been taking Qysmia for 3 months now.  My starting weight was 324. For the first month I hardly worked out and lost 10 pounds in that one month.  During month 2 I decided to change my eating habits and exercise.  I joined a women's Bootcamp and workout 3 to 5 days a week.  As of today I'm down to 283. Still trying to drop another 50 before the year is over.  I continue to take because it helps with my appetite however,  I'm on the 11.25 dosage I'm going to start to decrease until I can come off.  After the first month I didn't experience anymore side effects.  I had the dry mouth and irritability bad,  I was also forgetting alot of things but that seem to get better over time.  Now I just drink lots of water,  eat healthier, and worko"


"Second day on medication and can already tell huge difference. I'm hoping the heavy sleeping last night  (I have a 1 month old and slept through his crying) is a temporary thing. I have less appetite too and a touch of diarrhea which could all just be coincidence. Definitely hope we finally found the medicine that works we've been trying different ones for over 3 yrs now since cymbalta stopped working for me."


"I'm on Mono Linyah and I have a love hate relationship. I've been on it for a month and my 32A breasts are now 32B breasts. I'm underweight and struggle with weight gain but this pill has helped me put on pounds. I'm hungry a lot lol. My skin is totally clear, not even any blackheads, which is great. But my mood swings are extreme. On the active pill it's bad but I can handle it, but on the last week (period week) it's awful. I cry several times a day and can't get a hold of myself no matter what I do. My period was heavier than ever and I cramped horribly. But, it was short.

I find it hard to concentrate due to mood swings but I just drink some herbal tea and am usually fine afterwards. Love/hate relationship."


"My dermatologist prescribed temovate (Clobetason-.05%) for me to use with rash caused by poison ivy.  I get poison ivy frequently and this is the only remedy I have ever found that really works. You can see the results overnight. The rash is completely gone usually in a week or less."


"Lamictal has been a game changer for me. I have been through the complete bipolar medication gauntlet. I now take 300 mg a day along with 200mg  wellbutin, 20 mg of Adderall and hydroxyzine to sleep. I was able to stop taking Xanax because of this awesome drug!! I have had this same regimen for a year and a half. Before this I was about to give up all hope on medicines. Please keep in mind  no medicine will never fix your Bipolar Disorder. As far as side effects I have had significant hair loss. I think that started with other medicines though. I have also had EXTREMELY intense dreams. That's something I'm still getting use to."


"First time I experienced a heart arrhythmia was following its use and stopped taking using medicine."


"I've been taking Topamax for a little over a year. When I first started taking it I experienced terrible side effects for about three to six months. They killed me especially with my grades. I couldn't focus in school, but it worked wonders with my migraines. I will get one every once in a while but hardly ever, plus I lost like twenty pounds. Totally worth it to be migraine free."


"When I switched aromatase inhibitors from Arimidex to Femara it was a world of difference!  The terrible side effects I was experiencing made me question whether survival from breast cancer was worth it if my life would be spent with Arimidex side effects of irritability, MORE hair loss, joint pains, etc. My oncologist switched me to Femara and my life returned to more pleasant and more energy. I have been suggesting this change to all my blogging support group that are having problems with Arimadex. Later adding OTC Biosil and SamE have also helped the hair and joint and mood issues."


"This medication really made me eat less! It's not a conscious feeling of a decreased appetite, but you just don't feel "in the mood" to eat anything and nothing looks appetizing to you. I didn't realize it until I went on the scale and lost 8 pounds in the first week (on the lowest dose!). Started at 232 lbs 5'2" female- 24 years old. No other health complications besides overweight.
HOWEVER, had to stop this med after 1 week because of horrible side effects. Dizziness- to the extent where I couldn't lift my head off the pillow in the morning (and through the day). Cognitive impairment- felt like I lost my brain. Can't think, can't come up with answers to any mathematical questions, can't concentrate. will try plain Phentermine."


"NEVER TAKE THIS STUFF!!  For the love of God don't. Worst cramps I've ever had! I seriously thought I was dying. I only took one.  I can't imagine ever taking 2 let alone 3. I am serious this pill will put you in the worse pain possible!
"


"NIGHTMARE. The burning and itching were so bad I had to take a bath at midnight and flush my vagina out. Did fix the issue though, in case that's helpful to anyone else. Having a yeast infection is way better than putting this toxic waste into your vag."


"After reading some other misleading reviews, I wanted to write my own. I have dealt with hyperhydrosis my entire life, and it's such a confidence killer. I could never dress nicely in high school because I'd always hear whispers about my underarm sweat stains. I tried certaindry and it worked for about 2 months then stopped. I was crushed. I finally was prescribed drysol, but I wasn't convinced that it would work. I've been using it for about a year now and I'm so shocked that it still works! I noticed that if you wash your underarms thouroughly, and dry them thouroughly the itch isn't as bad as if you were to just apply at the end of the day. The only time it's ever burned is if I over use it, or use it the same day as shaving. Worth a try"


"I remember this product when I was a kid. My mom used to keep a bottle of it in the house all of the time, that was decades ago. I have used the pill form for the first time and it still works quite well. I find the pill form a little more tolerable then drinking the liquid form. But, what I like about it most is that it doesn't cause the cramps. For anyone reading, the best time to take any laxative is at night before going to bed. Also take a full 8oz glass of liquid (water preferably) when taking any pill form laxative. Water helps with constipation to begin with. The directions call for 2 to 4 pills, I took 3."


"I think it works for me"


"Started about 17 days ago at 217.8 and 5'3. Today at 209. Negative side effects are nausea and headache that seems to come mostly when you bump up the dose. At 1.8 now and I'm never hungry. This stuff is great but deducted one point due to the side effects however tolerable. No pain, no gain I mean loss!"


"Well been on Campral a week now. I will say I haven't had a drink but the thoughts still go through my head just to have one but we all no where that leads. I pray to God this helps me, time will tell."


"Started taking Venlafaxine ER a year ago for anxiety. Started at 75mg daily and am currently on 150mg per day, and have been for about 8 months. It has helped a ton with the anxiety! While I am not completely clear from anxiety, it is much much better to handle. I did not gain any weight whatsoever. I do notice that if I forget to take it I feel a bit nauseous and lightheaded so I have set an alarm on my phone. I take both 75mg pills at one time so that it's done for the day. All in all, I would recommend!!"


"I'd been struggling with a very nasty Bronchitis for over 10 days, had been taking useless Amoxicillin to no avail.

Switched over to Augmentin Duo Forte and had some much needed relief in only 5 hours.  I've found this combo very effective for Bronchitis/Pneumonia and Sinus, which I suffer every April with a change in Weather.

Sure you do need to take some probiotics. All good from me."


"This is the only medicine that tackles my migraines.  They can make me sleepy and stupid, but I'll take that over a migraine pain any day."


"I'm a diabetic with peripheral neuropathy. I was started on 30mg Oxycodone Immediate Release 3 times a day and methadone 10mg 6 times a day. They have both worked wonders! Recently I developed bad infected foot ulcers and now have a hole on the side of my left foot and open sores/wounds at the bottom of both feet and my doctor upped my dosage to 30mg Oxycodone Immediate Release 6 times a day and Methadone 10mg 9 times a day and with the methadone, the Oxycodone has NO "high" effects. I am so happy my quality of life has raised and I am able to walk almost normally with little to no pain during most of the day. I have gone through the withdrawal by missing 5 days of both medications once and it is bad. Other than that, it is a God send!"


"I have been on contrave for about 5 weeks now.  I have lost, gained & lost 4lbs.  I intend to stay on it another month and try to be more physically active.  One thing I have noticed, is that my jeans are not as tight.  I have actually gone in 1 - 2 notches on my belt.  Which is more impressive to me than the 4 lbs.  I had a few headaches off and on for the first 2 weeks, but nothing major.  For me the side effects haven't been that bad.  I have noticed that it has helped me A LOT with cravings and portions.  With contrave, I haven't snacked all day at work or in the evening after supper. It has reduced the amount of food I am able to eat.  If I over eat, I feel miserable.   I was hoping to lose at least 10 lbs but that hasn't happened yet."


"After reading message boards, I became so freaked out at the thought of going on Pylera, I waited 5 days before starting the regimen, but boy am I glad that I did because on day 4 my brain came back and by day 6 I was really feeling a lot better. I'm not going to lie. It was very intense. It was almost like I could feel the war going on inside of me between the pills and the bacteria, but knowing the medicine was eradicating this hideous thing made it palpable.

"


"Worked great.  Dont know how everyone else almost died.  Yall must have done something wrong."


"I have been suffering with back pain for 18 years. I have had two surgery 25 EPO injections, radio frec. (that's when they burn the nerves) just to name a few. I've been on this for only one week but it seems to help, but it's still early. I am very good about following doctors orders and he is one of the best. "


"Not sure if it was how little I’ve had the implant or how sexually active I am (a lot) but I JUST had a miscarriage 30 minutes ago. I’m not a parent I don’t know what it’s like to have a child I know I’m not emotionally mature enough, financially stable enough, or mentally ready to have a child that’s why I made the decision to get the implant. That’s why I never wanted to be pregnant until I was ready. Finding out about a pregnancy is a terrifying thing, but at least you would have a choice whether or not to keep the baby. I didn’t have a choice and it was heartbreaking. If you’re considering getting this due to the benefits it has by all means go ahead but please do your research on the side effects and possible negative outcomes as well."


"Adult daughter took 3 pills as dr recommended about 9pm. Luckily I told her she should stay at my house in case she needed anything. 4:30am she is in major pain, cramping, feels like she is on fire while actually being clammy and nauseous. She said never again.   My husband has a crazy colon and had probs for yrs.  He was sent to a dr for surgery and possibly have bag attached. An old German Dr asked if he would first try an old remedy. Begin eating 3 tbls of wheat bran every day and return in a month to see if there was a difference. Increase as needed. He agreed and it began working. He was up to 8 spoons a day. That was 18 yrs ago. He is up 2 5/8 oz per day. Mix 3 tbls ground flax, 1 pkt sweetner and water. Microwave 2 min. Take everyday"


"So I've jut begun the seriquel drug to treat apparent Bipolar disorder,

This drug has 110% assisted in my sleeping but thats also the issue,

See I HATE sleeping through the day, but since taking this drug every night around 8:30pm I cannot seem to stay awake all day im either EXTREMELY tired and drowsy sleeping,  or I am EXTREMELY hungry, I cannot seem to stop my appetite,

I have also noticed a strong increase in my aggressiveness I am usually a very calm person, however I have found myself getting angry and or sad at very little,

I am contributing this to my current state of drowsiness, however even after a 18 hour shift at work i usually dont get angry,

Now this is purely my opinion and my experience and I am yet to speak with my GP"


"I would try anything, I had grown up with the most painful periods, every start of my period had me laying on the bathroom floor crying, and vomiting. It was terrible and not a way to live I went to my doctor and asked for help she suggested this told me some women had bad experiences but I didn't care. Ladies listen to me very carefully the first couple months are going to be terrible because your body is not used to the lack of hormones missing from your everyday life. So yes my ache was terrible I gained weight because I would get the shakes if I didn't eat, I didn't have any energy and I was so moody like to the point I thought I would have a nervous break down, I spotted for two weeks at a time, but now I have no periods and I'm normal"


"I can't tolerate orals. I like the convenience of twice a year with no side effects. My BMDs scores increased drastically."


"Okay, people seriously need to man up! I'm a female in my mid twenties and I am just about to start my third month. Yes, the side effects suck at first but you need to remember it's only for a few days whenever you increase the dose!  I had extreme nausea for a bit, but I pushed through it!  So far, I am down 10 pounds.  It is not a miracle drug but I definitely see improvement! I am determined to continue my use and encourage others to try and fight the original side effects. I promise they will go away!!"


"Spent 7 days in the hospital and 6 weeks off work but this medication got my eyesight back from complete blindness. The side effects are a bit extreme and this was the third steroid I developed an allergy to but for severe optic neuritis episodes it works."


"This medicine has been everything that I had hoped for. I had a very bad sinus infection and a Kidney infection as well. And on the second day of taking Cipro 500mg twice a day....has been a Blessing for me.....I know I can't have any Dairy products for a week, but I rather get back to health."


"I initially got the IUD because it contained no hormones and seemed like a liberating birth control option. I wanted to love it so bad that I allowed myself to bleed for seven months EVERY SINGLE DAY before I decided it was time to beg a doctor to get it out of me. The insertion is not as bad as everyone says, slightly painful but quick! Despite the insertion being manageable, the terrible pain that I endured for hours after insertion made me fear for my life. I had the worst cramps of my life, I felt like I was going to pass out from pain and seriously contemplated going to the emergency room. Long story short, nine months later an ultrasound revealed that the IUD had migrated south...that explained the pain! I wouldn't recommend it."


"Works good on my back pain."


"I have had resistant depression for about 3 years. Started Abilify 2mg two months ago and feel like a new person. I can get out of bed in the morning and go to work. I have a desire to do things again with friends. Don't spend the weekends in bed anymore! I am so thankful--this has helped me tremendously."


"I'm literally on the toilet crying. I'm so nauseas and having diarrhea cramps, as well shivers. Treatment wise, I know this is effective.. but side effect wise .. worst experience ever."


"I am 48 years old and have had a severe case of erectile dysfunction for the past three years.  I first tried Viagra and experienced long delays for it to take effect, usually 6 to 8 hours after taking it.  My doctor then had me try the 5mg Cialis "daily" dosage.  WOW!  Erections are now on hair-trigger alert, are instantaneous (even without physical stimulation), and at full attention.  No more long waits (and loss of mood) for a medicine to take effect.  It takes a longer time to ejaculate (my wife is not complaining).  Another side effect is the ability to have multiple erections simultaneously (I'm not complaining). No headaches or stuffy nose with the "daily" Cialis."


"People ask me if it works.  All I know is that when I miss a few days, I feel awful.  Within hours of getting my refill, I feel human again.  I wish there was a drug that would give 100% pain relief, but that's not realistic.  At least with this, I can function."


"Mixed with chilled lemon (clear) Gatorade in the gallon jug provided by pharmacist. Dosed as told 8 x 8oz glasses ever 15 minutes twice; once early afternoon and once early evening as my colonoscopy is early morning. Total sixxteen 8oz glasses consumed. Would have rated the product a 10 if not for some minor taste/texture issues. It worked for me in 1 hour on both cycles. Last movements 3 hours after dosing produced clear results. I'm ready, hungry and heading to sleep. Drinking some additional water all day to offset possible dehydration not addressed with Gatorade."


"It's been really good still I stopped taking the birth control pill I got acne again, my period was late by 10 days and it lasted for 3 days only. I'm going to see a gyno again soon because I'm worry"


"I've been reading the comments but I haven't seen one post that relates to mine. I don't know if I should stop taking it or not, because it helps my BV immensely, but causes a lot of discomfort for me. I'm not having any of the side effects most of you are having but I am experiencing something else. I have only been taking this pill for 3 days and my only issue is my vaginal area is very painful now. I bled during sex for the 1st day and lasted for about a day. It all feels swollen. My clitoris is VERY sensitive which I've never experienced before and it hurts even when I walk. I have to adjust myself before I sit, or I can feel the pressure and it almost stings. Meanwhile, it makes me itch, and I can hardly wipe after the bathroom."


"Began taking Zolpidem due to insomnia.  I had no trouble falling asleep but I would not stay asleep and wake up 5-10 times a night.  Now I fall asleep and sleep well for an average of 5 hours. Usually by 3:30am I am awake and not able to fall back to sleep.  I get up for work at 4:30 am.  So at least I am getting 5 good hours but I wish it would last longer.  I long for 7-8 hours of sleep.  I have had no adverse effects.  Don't wake up groggy and no memory loss.  "


"changed my life - I now stay asleep 7-8 hours and zero side effects"


"Been on it for a year and working good for me, no arrhythmias since I have been taking. Would have rated a 10 but do have some weak and pulled muscles."


"This medication is great for depression, however, I am not really feeling much change in Social Phobia - except for preventing blushing, but not in all situations. I have been on it for 5 1/2 weeks so I am still giving it time. The side effects are easily coped with, and it didn't escalate my anxiety to begin with, although it made me very drowsy."


"I am now into my 15 day of using the efudix cream and I look scary I was told by my skin specialist to do my whole face and as directed have done so .I am a 51 year old woman that grew up on the coast and never thought any thing of it. After having a melanoma removed last year the ugliness ,pain and itchiness of this treatment is far better than a alternative outcome .Like others googled pictures and was horrified but remember the out come will be beautiful I would do it again in a heart beat."


"I been on this medication for about a month it real does help. I take 100 mg in the morning and 100 mg at night. Where I work sometime you sweat but I've noticed  that the sweating has increase a lot. That is the only problem I have."


"I have depression and some anxiety, and have been on Zoloft and Lexapro on and off for years. I didn't like the side effects: lowered sexual drive, increased sweating, inability to feel either highs or lows (flat), a general "I don't care" feeling, trouble concentrating and trouble staying asleep. Mirtazapine was GREAT for about a month then quit working. "


"I started taking this pill at 17 because I had cramps that would literally make me immobile - to the point of missing school. This was my first experience with birth control. My periods became very light - sometimes missing a month or two, it helped my skin as well. I didn't notice any more mood swings than a normal teen would. The only persistent issue that really annoyed me was nausea for the first two days of every new pack. I took it for about 8 years before I decided to see what other methods were available. I tried Nuva Ring - not awful, but not for me. I'm currently looking into something more permanent like an IUD or Implant. Those reviews are terrifying as well. There won't be one method that works well for everyone."


"I would suggest taking Naproxen rather than Ibuprofen for this.  500 mg of Naproxen works.  I have tried both and Naproxen is superior.  Ibuprofen does nothing for me."


"This medication changed my life! It gave me my life back. Lost 67lbs in 5months. It made the food I was eating taste like it was "crap, disgusting, processed garbage" I was a fast food Pepsi addict (case of Pepsi a day). After my first dose I have never been able to drink a Pepsi again! I craved fresh foods vegetables grass fed beef. Partnered with real kickboxing the weight came off so fast and I've been off the Qsymia for 2 months and NO weight gain just more loss. I still have no desire to eat the garbage I did before. My brother is having the same success as I have had on Qsymia. Some people say its the cost of the medication they can't do it."


"Okay ladies if you're reading this I'm guessing you had an accident of some sort while you were having sex or you made a mistake having unprotected sex like I did. Here'/ my experience. My boyfriend and I decided to have sex for the first time, and I thought he was wearing a condom but he told me he took it off before he did it. He did not tell me this until after we had sex. I also stupidly did this on my most fertile day (DOUBLE BAD IDEA) I panicked and made him go to Walmart after he was done at the gym to buy Plan B even though he claimed he pulled out in time. I took the pill 2 hours after the event. I had nausea, headaches, mood swings, and cramps. I got my period today after a week of taking the pill. The pill does work! Be patient!"


"Started this medication 4 months ago as trial/alternative to hysterectomy. Thus far, I have experienced bleeding more than not. (Great way to spend summer!) The abdominal pain & never knowing when you will start to bleed out is awful!! Can't wait to meet with doctor next month & get OFF of this drug :("


"I started on 08/31/2017, so only my second dose of 0.6 mg.  No side effects at this point.  Dr. Administered the first injection at the office around noon yesterday.  By that evening, I wasn't hungry and seemed to have more energy than normal.  Took the second dose at 7 am this morning.  Haven't felt like eating, and my normal coca cola (my drug of choice) just didn't taste right.  Which I feel is a good thing.  Easier to stop something when it doesn't taste good. I am 49 years old, PCOS, and yesterday at the Dr. office weighed in at 330.4 lbs. I got my insulin tested this morning fasting.  I will meet with the nutritionist next week.  Since this is a great long weekend, I am planning on starting the Keto diet that my Dr. is recommending."


"I suffer from severe panic attacks. This medicine left me on the couch for a week because I felt so dizzy. My vision is also "snowy" from this medication and still has not went away 2 years later. "


"I was given olanzipine for something other than my borderline personality disorder although I've not been told what. I'm on 10mg and I'm unsure whether it's the olanzipine alone, whether it's the venlafaxine I'm on or whether it's the combination of the 2, but when I fall asleep, I'm out cold. I don't turn over or move and can sleep for over a day if I don't set any alarms. But the bad thing is that when I wake up I still feel tired and worn out."


"Diovan HCT 160/12.5 - took for over 8 years.  Blood pressure was controlled...however, did not realize that daily headaches, hair thinning, up and down blood sugar, weight gain, muscle aches, etc. were side effects.  Stopped taking and all symptoms started to go away."


"Had to do my prep before the doctor had to go mining. I chose the unflavored. Used water at room temperature. I would recommend  this. Taste a little like salty water. Don't refrigerate it or you will get the chills. It will clean you out! I felt great, I believe, from the Go Lytly alone. Felt great getting the pipes cleaned."


"My physician prescribed Lamisil for me in October 2007. I took it for three months and had 2 liver panels done during that time. I was dizzy and mildly nauseated the first few days and had diarreah. It has taken 10 months for the new nails to grow out but I can bare my toes once again! It also CURES athlete's feet. Now my feet are baby smooth and free of dryness and cracks. I would highly recommend this product. Don't wait! This is the best my feet have looked in years. Trust me, IT WORKS! :)"


"This is only my second week on this pill and even though I’m not sure how it works with periods it has done wonders for my skin . Any acne I used to have is completely clearing out and no new ones are popping back up.  On top of that I haven’t gained any weight and if anything I have almost gone up a whole cup size ."


"Was placed on this medication 5 days ago in addition to being on 100 mg trazodone for insomnia. First day was amazing, placebo effect I am sure. After the first day my chest started hurting and I was sleepy and sluggish. I normally am at the gym 6 days per week. I have been once and was so weak feeling I couldn't push half the weight I normally do and it cut 20 minutes from my lifting time. The last few days I took myself off the trazodone fearing it was what was causing the problem after reading that the two medicines should not be mixed. It didn't help. I became angry and noticed stiffness in my thighs and neck. I also have been eating everything in sight. This has made me miserable very fast. I start coming off tomorrow."


"I had a horrible side effect with Lipitor so the Dr put me on Livalo.  No side effects and was able to bring my total cholesterol down and my good cholesterol up within 3 months.  Its a very expensive drug but works great."


"I have been 5 months quit thanks to Chantix.  It really takes the edge off from day 1 if used as directed.  My problem is the internet uses cookies.  So even though I think I've quit, all I see are ads for Chantix, which reminds me of cigs when I'm not thinking about them.  I may start back because of the Chantix ads!!!  Please stop !!!  I'm also seeing nonstop Jimmy Fallon ads even though I only clicked on one thing of his please make that stop too Chantix."


"I was on Lupron for 6 months back in 09. The side effect weren't bad for me at first but I have to say the night sweats were the worst! I just hated waking up in the middle of the night, needing to shower because I was so sweaty. However, I was pain free! I had an AWESOME summer and went camping, mountain biking, traveling. My pain has slowly come back over the years and my (new) doctor just gave me my first shot of Lupron yesterday. I am hoping it works just as well as it did the first time. I want to be me again."


"Improved my depression greatly. Plus, it has improved my concentration. Reading more books because of it, but more importantly, being able to FINISH a book. An added plus as I seemed to struggle with sticking to one task and lose interest quickly. Maybe I had a little ADD and didn't know it."


"Been on and off this Medication for two years, seems to help a great deal. I'm back on it due to urinary tract infection again, seems since I've turned 50 I keep getting them. Seen an Urologist two weeks ago and was told to keep taking this for the next four months."


"I just had my Mirena removed. I only had it in for about 8 weeks. I was constantly bleeding I was losing so much hair, had really bad cramps and I was always so tired. I lost all desire for sex. And was definitely moody. Around the same time of day I started feeling really sick. I hated it. I called my Dr and told her to get it out. So I went in the next day and got it out! Didn't hurt one bit. I'm having some light bleeding now but I think that's normal. But I feel better then ever!"


"Not effective for me. I've been a migraine sufferer for 30 yrs and have relied mainly on Imitrex . My Neurologist has also been giving me BOTOX every 3 months for the past 6 yrs which has helped cut my attacks down immensely.
However,  he thought maybe I should try Relpax for those migraines I do get and it has not been helping me at all.
My Imitrex 100 ( or generic) would usually rid me of a migraine as long as I took it within the first 15 or so minutes of onset.  So , I guess I'll stick with what's worked for me."


"I was on Xanax for several years (4-5 mg per day). It helped a lot in the beginning, but the longer I took it the more jittery I became. My doctor finally put me on Klonopin up to 3 mg a day and it has been amazing. I have only been taking 2 mg a day so far, but I'm sure I will probably need 3mg at some point. But I went directly from Xanax to Klonopin and I have never missed the Xanax. I was really afraid I would have a lot of withdrawal problems but I suppose the Klonopin took care of that. Anyway it has been amazing how much better I feel and sleep since changing to the Klonopin. It has changed my life. I'm so thankful my doctor tried it. I really didn't want to take anything but I don't think I have a choice. I need it to function normally."


"This drug has been a lifesaver. After having chronic constipation for years, I feel like a new person. Read the reviews and figured out how it would work best for me. I take the pill in the morning on an empty stomach  every 2 to 3 days. I feel so much better now. I used to feel sluggish all the time having had one bowel movement a week. Believe me I tried everything imaginable before this so I was very happy when my gastro dr. suggested this drug."


"Roughly two years ago I weighed 120; gained roughly 100 poubds due to being lazy and eating when I was bored or stressed out. My doctor prescribed me phentermine 27.5 to take daily: HORRIBLE side effects like dry mouth, sick to my stomach, and  insomnia throughout the whole time. lost alot of weight but guess what? I regained it in a quick period. My doctor prescribed me Belviq because unlike phentermine belviq is for LONG TERM weight loss. Im about 4 days in without exercise and I havent weighed myself (i will next week i started at 214lb) & I can say my cravings are gone and the anount i eat is smaller.

All these people that are complaining want instant results which thats not what belviq is for."


"Nuva Ring has had both negative and positive effects on me. First of all I actually LOST weight. I have an increased sex drive and have had no slipping and it has never fallen out. Unfortunately I have had more depressive periods and cramps have been horrible. But on the most important note I have been using it for a year and haven't gotten pregnant. So it's done its job and the side effects haven't been unbearable. So if you are deciding whether or not to use this, the best advice I can give is do what is best for you and your body."


"I am a 22 year old  mom of 2. I have an almost 2 year old and 2 month old so I never got the chance to lose my baby weight with my first before I got pregnant with my second. I started phentermine on September 3rd at 193 lbs. Today is September 16th (1 week 6 days after starting) and I am at 176! 17 pounds gone in just 13 days!
No major side effects. I was dizzy the first day about an hour after taking it. Since then, no dizziness. Didn't cause headaches, insomnia, appetite suppression, or mood swings like people have said. The only thing that did happen was I get EXTREME dry mouth. And then I lick my lips to help so now I have chapped lips too lol. Drinking water really helps!"


"I recently turned 51 yrs old and have been on Androgen for 2.5 months. Started at two pumps/day and T level went from 280 to 190. Increased dosage to 3 pumps for one month and level went up to 201. I am now applying 4 pumps/day and other than a slight increase in mood, see no results yet. I shower at night and have recently started to shower in the morning before applying the gel. Not sure if this will help.
After reading so many positive results, I have to admit I am disappointed. "


"It is the greatest drug found. It works very well if used as prescribed."


"Toujeo. 19 units at night. Two weeks off lantus solo star

Blood sugars waking were 140,  now 200
Nausea 15 minutes after injection. Lasts for two hours.
Severe cramping and pain in feet ,calves, shoulders, and hands
Diarrhea on and off through out the two weeks
Dizziness
Blurry vision in one eye
Swollen gums

Hope this levels off quickly"


"Ummmm so I just took it for the first time.... And after reading the reviews I'm scared hahah. I'm wondering when it's gonna hit or if it will work!
I mixed mine with yogurt and it wasn't so bad btw!"


"I have tried abilify (worked but caused massive weight gain) and latuda (worked at first, then just made me restless and agitated) and now vraylar for depression/mixed episodes in BP II.  I have only been on it for about a week, but I noticed a HUGE difference in my mood and agitation. I do not feel depressed and hopeless, and am no longer agitated at all. I hope this med continues to work! It is VERY expensive, but you can go on the website and get a savings card where you only pay $15/month."


"I have neuroendocrine tumors with metastasis to liver. I was put on Afinitor (10 mg) since Feb, 2011 after I had so many side effects from Sutent. Afinitor has made my liver mets stable or shrink somewhat and I have no or minimum side effects. It was provided free of cost by Novartis. So thank you Novartis."


"I have been on this medication for about a year and I really do not like it.  Over the past 4 months I have had severe hot flashes and night sweats about 3 or 4 days before my  periods.  I have become very emotional (cry over the dumbest things) and now feel depressed.  I have an appointment this week with my GYN and will be changing to something different."


"Hey guys, so I'm on my 6th day of fluoxetine from completing a two day wash out period or cetalopram, I was on this for 2 years and I felt good apart from the first week of hell. I made the change due to weight I felt that it had to be the main reason. Now I'm really  hoping so because I'm

Not feeling amamzing, I work up vomitting yesterday morning all day and yesterday was kind of ok but now this morning it's back I'm

Lying down to try keep it down. I feel a little scared to leave the house but I know it's the medication. No one knows around me what I'm going through as there not the sort of people who would understand. Thinking of going to the gym or will this make it worse! Glad to see I'm not alone out there!"


"Activating the Pay No More Than $25 card did not result in product being $25. False advertising. Did not purchase."


"I got the CVS prefilled ointment brand, and after I insterted the stick and pulled it back out, I noticed that there was some left over on the stick, so I decided to take it with my finger and apply it to the outer region of my nether region.  BIG MISTAKE. What causes the intense itching I think may be when it comes in contact with the already itchy and painful skin of the vulva.  It really was very very uncomfortable for quite a while, but definitely something worth powering through to end a week of torture from the YI."


"I've used Lyrica 50mg and 100mg and it did not help my pain. "


"I suffer from severe arthritis due in part to extensive cervical fusion. About 2 months ago my doctor prescribed Naproxen and I am pleasantly surprised with the results so far. While I am not a fan of NSAIDs *any* relief from this pain is worth the risk.

It doesn't do much for breakout pain but when I get that nagging pain in my neck it does help, but only in conjunction with a pain killer."


"I have been on the Implanon since the 31/01/2015.

For the first two or so months I didn't experience a period, they recommend that you get the implanon inserted while on your period and I did.

Since having the Implanon in I have had little to no side effects that I can attribute to the contraception. My sex drive is normal, I get a bit more back-acne than I am used to but cleanser has sorted that out quite well, I have gained around 8lbs but the weight gain is a result of a lifestyle change (eating less healthily and moving less due to studying at a computer) and I've found that when I go to the gym and eat a little better it shifts quite easily. It cost $37.05 for the actual implant and the associated visits were free. I love it! :)"


"Well I took Ducolax without reading the packaging, I thought it was a quick fix you know, take it and instant relief but I'm an idiot. I ate dairy (cheese with my pasta) and had Lemon in my water. So I'm going to be in pain. I haven't done the #2 in a few days and I have lower back abdominal pain and I feel bloated, so I figured it's the weekend and I have a few hours to spare before I go out (about 2hr) so I just canceled my plans. But READ THE GODDAMN PACKAGING. I am dying over the comments though, so funny lol."


"Sorry I want to share what happening to  the inside of my mouth. I Have perfect teeth and since I started to take sub's I am in deterioration mode. This drug sucks. Maybe try with something else."


"I've been taking Paxil for roughly 4 months. I started on a low dose of 10mg per day then my doctor increased that to 20mg per day. I started taking Paxil because I began having panic attacks. At first I really didn't notice a big difference, but as the weeks went along, I stopped having panic attacks. Additionally, Paxil has been very helpful with controlling my mood swings. In the past I've been known to get a little agitated quickly and often. That has ceased as well.

Side effects: At first I was tired, but this is no longer an issue. I feel fine in that regard. The sexual side effects are minor. I don't think about sex as much, but getting in the mood has not been an issue. It does take longer to have an orgasm. "


"I have tried to take Chantix to quit smoking but I found myself still smoking after my quit date. Then I began skipping dosages of the prescription. Chantix does work like but like many others the "fuzzy" feeling was taking over. I was also in the middle of finals and the drug seemed to make me a little not there. I do however recommend it because what are you options? The urge to smoke definitely was not there, and my goodness the taste.  I have now quit smoking for two days. Wish everyone the best and lots of success."


"Experienced palpitations."


"I was in coma for 3 weeks. When i eventually got home i woke up on  the 3rd morning to total blindness in my left and only partial site in the other.After invasive investigation it was decided that it was a very rare fungal infection probably caused by acentral line. I had the majority of the infection removed but it left me with cataracts. During the course of all this i have been applying maxidex 2 drops every morning along with other eye drops. I think it has helped alot. I continue to apply it and am due to have the cataract removed in november. That means I'll be able to see by Christmas all being well. I have the original surgeon to thank for my sight. He had been in the business 35 years and never seen the kind of infection."


"I have been taking this since July of this year, I just finished my first pack and started my second.  I don't know if it's just coincidence or not but I haven't liked the side effects I have experienced.

1.  Weight gain - overeating
2. constant spotting - daily for over a month
3. More irregular than I was before
4. I keep getting bacterial infections.  I have not had any problems with infections at all until I started taking this."


"I have been taking Triumeq for about 9years, after taking Complera for about 2 years. My doctor decided to switch me on Triumeq due to concerns that Complera was issues with my kidneys, though not serious. There has been no side effect concerning the Complera medication. I am monitoring my GFR (kidney) lab and there are some improvement in numbers. Thus far my viral load in <40 undetectable and my CD4 count is 425 highest I ever recall. Thus far, I can share that the drug is success according to my treatment."


"I have been on Saxenda since October 13, 2016 - and have lost 19 pounds.  I started off on a very gradual increase in dose which helped with side effects.  I only feel nauseated when I eat foods that I should not be eating.  The medication does reduce your appetite - so you need to ensure that you are eating regularly.  I am very happy with the results so far as it is helping to motivate me to make overall lifestyle changes - eating better and exercising.  Still enjoy a little treat - but am careful not to eat anything that will upset my stomach.  I would encourage anyone dealing with obesity to give this drug a try.  It truly works and the side effects can be managed if you are committed to eating healthy foods."

EF INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY AFTER 3 YEARS- EXERCISE FOR 30 MIN PER DAY X 5 DAYS TREADMILL AND WATER AEROBICS"


"I was diagnosed with ADD about 5 years ago; a year later, I started taking a Concerta for 2-3 months; it gave me headaches and didn't help. Hearing good things about Adderall I tried it and wow it was like magic. I felt awesome, I could actually think and focus, and everything was great with not-so-terrible side-effects. The thing with Adderall for me was that I constantly had to change doses (I tried XR 10, 20, 30 and reg 5,10). I jumped all over the spectrum, because my biggest side effect was it affected my sleep and I was soon diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; may not be correlated but it exploited this problem. After roughly 3.5 years the side-effects have increased and it doesn't help much. Looking into Desoxyn and Dexedrine."


"I have been on Effexor now for almost 6 months. I take a combined dose of 75mg and 150mg at once( 225mg) I started at 150 and was given the 75mg a few days later to help with my anxiety. The meds do make me " numb" to emotions, and it does help with my depression and anxiety. I have good and bad days. Sometimes my meds will make me sick to my stomach, I often feel dizzy and feel brain zaps, and " electrical" zaps down my arms and fingers. It often takes away my appetite, and have lost weight I often struggle with constapation too. And sometimes it makes the voices, depression and anxiety worse. Compared to other meds in the past, Effexor is better. On good days I feel better and turn from realistic view point in the world to a more positive"


"I got the Nexplanon implant at the beginning of August and in a couple weeks I will have had it for 2 months. I actually love this form of birth control because I can't get into the routine of a pill or Depo shot. There have been a few up and downs though. For the about the first few weeks I was spotting and now I have nonexistent periods. My moods were wacky at first. I do have a little more acne than before but nothing that doesn't disappear within a few days. I'm a lot more tired now. I've experienced loss of appetite. I weighed 127 lbs when I got it and now I weigh 113 lbs. Other than the occasional crying, I'm completely okay with this implant. My sex drive is strong and I'm not pregnant."


"I’ve found out the hard way... want to warn people taking the pill Yasmin to really think about it. I wish my Doctors wouldn’t of recommended this to me and told me about the risks. I’m losing my hair and going bald, my skin has got worse, headaches, the lot. Horrible pill! Shouldn’t be prescribing this pill to women with horrible side affects ."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I finished my first bottle about 40 minutes ago.  Taste was horrible  but I read other posts and used two straws and plugged my nose.  Difficult to get more water down afterwards because of bloating.  Nothing happening yet but a little bit of stomach pain.  I hate to use an old adage, but....they can put a man on the moon.....!  Kudos to any drug company that can get this down to a few pills or at the very least, a couple of ounces (versus 12 oz in split doses).  It's going to be VERY difficult to get that second bottle down tomorrow on an empty stomach."


"I was prescribed this drug after tearing some ligaments in my shoulder. I experienced little to no relief of the pain while on this drug. The side effects are real though and just made me feel worse. I have intense back pain and sinus infection like symptoms that only surfaced after my second day on the drug. my lower back aches and my eyes hurt while I experience nausea as well.  In my opinion this drug does more harm than relief."


"I've been taking Beyaz for a year now, and so far I like it better than anything I've ever took. It treated my moderate acne, I never get any acne anymore."


"I like this medication!  I was scared to try it because I read all of the bad reviews.  I had been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen-Lo for about 4-5 yrs prior to trying Orsythia, and had no problems, but wanted to switch because of the cost.  No acne, no mood swings, no period changes. Well, I thought I'd do people who are considering switching pills a favor and give you hope - you'll probably be fine."


"I was put on Flecainide several months ago.  Side effects were fatigue, and dizziness.  Effects were interfering with my life (had to pull over if driving and my commute to work is at least and hour each way).  Fatigue was robbing me of being able to enjoy activities.  I have stopped taking and am looking into other treatment options."


"I've had the Paraguard IUD for 7 years. I primarily chose it because if I decided to have more kids it's easy to remove and the no hormones means I can try right away. I didn't want a BC that interfered with my hormones or fertility. My only issue with it is my period never returned to normal."


"My Dr started me on phetermine 37.5mg in February 2015 I lost 13 pounds my first month  and I feel like I'm losing more but I have lost only 5 pounds since I weighed myself last a few weeks ago but all my clothes are loose and my bras fit width wise better I'm actually down from 48ddd to 44ddd. I'm confused I'm down 2 pants sizes too.  I started out at 330 and in now 312. This is my second  month I have 2 more months of being on this pill. I'm was hoping to be down to 250 by that time I just started taking cinnamon capsules on top of the pill makes a big difference in my energy. Good luck everyone "


"My nine year old son was put on this for impulsivity, lack of ability to pay attention and retain things at school, and to help the "spazzy" moments. At first he was a walking zombie so we gave it at night. Eventually he was able to switch to taking it in the morning as his body got used to it. But still he would crash as soon as he got home from school. He says the medicine makes it hard for him to sleep in anymore even though he's tired. He is less spazzy and can pay attention better. But I don't know what to do about the emotional roller coaster we get from him being so tired from it towards the late afternoon or evenings. He just seems too sedated. I want him to be able to focus. But not be blah. It seems like it took his happiness."


"Pain relief is limited and barely noticed. I take 1800 mg a day and still need 6 Percocet per day to get enough relief to function. I've tried to stop the gabapentin and couldn't do it without withdrawals. I have forgotten to take medicines with me while out for a long day and also had withdrawal symptoms which include severe stomach pain and diarrhea. "


"I am a Flight Attendant for a major airline.  I went into the Flight Deck where the Captain and the First Officer sit 6 years ago and my anxiety developed from one major panic attack after another.  I tried everything and I was a biggest advocate for NOT taking medicine.  After a 6 year battle I started seeing a doctor of Psychology and a doctor of Psychiatry.  Both advised I take Lexapro.  I started taking 5 mg for a month then upped to 10 mg a month and then my doctor upped me to 20 mg per day.  I have been battling going to work for six years because of Anticipatory Anxiety on an airplane.  I am happy to say that I am now back to work and doing things I never thought in my mind that I could ever do.  Give Lexapro a chance, its worked!"


"I have had Implanon since May 2011. I LOVE it. I had very very light bleeding off and on for a few months afterward but none now, the site where it's at will throb every once in a while, but not bad just annoying. I have actually lost weight, I am a bit more emotional, but I've always cried about everything, I haven't had an increase in headaches or anything, and my sex drive is as good as it's always been. I've never used birth control before Implanon, but I'm glad I made this choice. Insertion was easy. I didn't feel a thing. She asked if I was numb and I said I don't know she made a small incision and asked if I felt it and I didn't. She wrapped a bandage around the site afterward to keep pressure on it, so my bruising was minimal."


"I took plan b 2 months ago, 5 days before ovulation, and 5 hours after the incident. A week later, I bled for 5 days like you should after plan b, then had another period a week after that. I didn't have any side effects until just this past week, and my period has been 11 days late, I just got it a few hours ago. This past week I've had extremely sore breasts, dizziness, and many other early pregnancy symptoms along with the late period, so I was really freaking out. Overall, yes plan b works, but it can be scary that I didn't feel anything until 2 months, which lead me to believe that I was pregnant. So only take this pill if you really need to, and don't take it frequently because it really can mess your body up and scare you."


"I've been on Victoza for weight loss for approx 6 weeks. I was started on 0.6 the first week, 1.2 the second and 1.8 the third.  I had a touch of nausea the first two weeks but found that if I ate a small snack (carrot, apple) the nausea went away. I've lost 18 pounds so far and I feel great."


"I started this birth control because I wanted something low hormone. I was on it a few years ago then stopped, and when I started again a year later my doc put me on the same the one. This time it has cause a lot of problems for me though! I gained about 8 pounds in the first month, all in my midsection (boobs and stomach!). After working out and eating better I have lost most of it, but because of the fluctuation my boobs have started to sag and I'm only 24! The biggest issue is that is has CAUSED acne in places I've never had it before, most noticeably my neck. Not just my jawline or near my face, big cystic pimples on my neck and throat which are impossible to cover up!! I am switching to Yaz now and am hoping it will fix my skin."


"A little over 2 years ago I started feeling anxiety thinking of bad thing that would happen to me or my family. I would worry about these things every day and then I would have trouble breathing and it was all do to anxiety.  My doctor prescribed Buspar and everything went away and I felt normal and stress free and the feelings I had went away. I also read Buspar is for short term, but as long as your doctor prescribes it for you. You should take it as long as you need to. Without it I would be a wreck.  As for side effects I get dizzy and tired, I take one 15mg at night and the other in the afternoon after work and take about a 30 minute break and lay down or just watch T.V. I feel much better after that."


"Took Benicar for 3 days. Had tightness in chest, ill feeling. Doctor switched me to Diovan HCT generic. Tightness went away and I coughed up some phlegm that was built up while taking Benicar. I am now fine after being switched to Diovan HCT Generic. Additional benefit - Benicar wasn't covered by insurance. It cost $130 per month. Diovan HCT generic by Sandoz cost me $4.00 per month with my insurance. And since Sandoz belongs to the maker of Diovan HCT. It is the same formula."


"I have a very stressful life. After my mother passing in 2005, I started having major anxiety. It truly was debilitating my entire life. My Dr put me on 0.05 mg twice a day to help. It was the BEST thing I ever did. I have been on them for 8 yrs now's. I'm 32 and a mother of 4. There are days when I really feel the anxiety peek and I take one. Its the only thing that will work within 15-20 mins. It really has helped me tremendously. I can take my meds as prescribed and still am able to take care of home, kids and work feeling normal. I would suggest this for anyone how has anxiety or panic attacks or tons of stress."


"I am at the end of my 3rd week on Saxenda. I will increase to 2.2mg tonight. I have lost 12 lbs. I am never hungry. I have been using My Fitness Pal to track and count calories. I find I have to force myself to eat most days, especially the two days after an increase in med. The first couple of weeks I had a headache every morning. It has since subsided. I do take my shot at night before bed so I can sleep through any nausea I might have. No other real side effects.  I pay $125 out of pocket/month."


"If you are here to gauge how painful an IUD insertion is, I beg you to not read any reviews on it. Pain is subjective. It really varies from person to person. I say this because I was on here the week before my appointment reading every bit of information. This made my process a thousand times worse. I was so nervous when I went in because reviews said it would be the worst pain I would ever experience. So far from the truth. The doctor will tell you everything you're about to feel; take their word for it. They won't deceive you. I cried a ton because I was so nervous. Relax. Take deep breaths, you'll feel a pinch, it'll hurt some, but not a lot. You'll feel a sudden cramp. It'll hurt becuase it's sharp, but that's it. Quick and easy! :)"


"Only medication that has allowed my anxiety to be managed. I suffer from severe anxiety, panic disorder & general anxiety disorder. No complaints."


"I switched to Savella from Cymbalta and have been taking it for less than a week.  I am currently on the 25 mg twice daily dose in the titration pack.  This medicine significantly helps with my pain and I do not have the cloudiness in thought that I did on Cymbalta, but that's where the good ends.  Every night I have the most vivid, terrifying nightmares of my life and I wake up completely drenched in sweat after only a few hours of sleep. Sometimes when I wake up, my entire body is numb, I am paralyzed, and I experience visual hallucinations.  I have lost all motivation to do my daily activities and I spend most of the day napping.  I am getting tremors and occasional involuntary muscle movements.  I have severe constipation and no appetite."


"Took Vicodin for pain because I broke my lower leg and upper leg in a wreck and also my eye bone was broken. The pain goes away and the arthritis pain goes away for 4 to 5 hours."


"I just took this for the first time about 2 hours ago. I read a lot of the reviews on this site before starting to take it and saw a lot of negative posts on the pill and on its effects. Going into it, I didn't expect it to "cure" or completely "rid" me of anxiety like I feel like a lot of other reviewers on here did, which lead to their negative takes on it. I more so just wanted to see how I would respond. I found that it took about an hour (maybe a little less) to kick in. I also found that it calmed me down quite a lot. I only took a 25mg capsule. I've seen a lot of reviewers saying that it "sedated" them. I didn't feel deadly tired, just nice and calm. First time all day not feeling anxiety. So I give this one a thumbs up."


"Every time I think I don't need this medicine I always go back to it. Now I found that with the Celexa it does not work as well."


"Wow, all negative reviews.... I am 26 yrs old. I had the Mirena placed in March. I've never had any kids, and we don't plan to for a while. Sure the Mirena placement wasn't the most comfortable thing, but think about it, it's not going to feel that great going in. I've had kidney stones, and a stent placed, so maybe my pain tolerance is higher than most others. I haven't had any problems with my Mirena. I am so glad I don't have to worry about taking pills every single day. My insurance covered the procedure 100% so I am saving about $2,000 during the next 5 years. I'm a happy camper."


"Here's the thing iv always had painful very painful cramps. I would know for certain that I would not be able to do anything 1 day out of the month. I was just lay in bed in extreme pain. No meds would help my pain it was the worst thing ever. But then I got nexplanon. And omg I was so happy when I got it my cramps went away I had no pain i felt like the luckiest girl in the world. But then I got my period ... and weeks later I was still on my period.. then months.... then a year. Get my point ? I will be taking this out very soon. It sucks having to buy pads and tampons every day for years.. and being sexual active ? Haha yeah right. This help my cramps but bleeding for 3 years straight. I can't take it anymore"


"Alright so look. He GAVE me Chlaymdia. Here I am at home when I get a call from my doctor that I have Chlaymdia.  I take these two treatment pills, I'm fine. A hour later MY STOMACH IS ON FIRE! I'm in so much pain at the moment, I decided to write this in order to distract myself from the pain. Moral of this. USE A CONDOM!"


"I went from Mylan to Portia. Ever since I switched I've been getting massive headaches, horrible cramping/bloating when on my cycles and just overall been feeling terrible for the past 2 months of taking it. Still works but not the type of pill for me."


"First this pill kind of freaks me out with the whole "have to take it within the hour at the sametime everyday". I also deal with no period of a week, period of 3 days, no period for 4 days, then period of another 2 days...on and on and on. I have been on it for three months and thinking that this might not be the pill for me. It has given me some anxiety and increased my mood swings. I do have breast tenderness at times. Probably not the pill for me. But I was put on it since other birth control pills give me a headache and so far this pill has never given me a headache so at least that has worked."


"I was diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder 10 years ago after a blood clot took 3 ft of my small intestine. I've been on Coumadin ever since until about a month ago when my doctor suggested Pradaxa. Overall it's been a good change, decreased bruising and no blood tests, and increased amount of greens in my diet. The down side is trying to remember to take it twice a day with food. I have noticed a slight change in my weight...it's gone up. I don't know if it's from the Pradaxa or not. Last night I took it after a small snack and suffered almost immediate heartburn/acid reflux. I'm still suffering this morning....hopefully it will pass soon."


"Acid Reflux settled in my ears, 10 years of tubes and finally found doc that told me it was acid reflux.  I did have mild gerd sporadically.  I am up to 300 mil 2x daily of Ranididine. No more tubes. Acid under control.  If I don't take meds ears itch. Burning stomach is back. I try to control portions but I love the spicy food. So I stick with Randidine.  Works within in the hour.  I also think it helps keep some allergies symptoms down a bit."


"Great experience so far while on this pill. First thing I noticed was my cramps had dulled down A LOT. When my period started, it was the lightest one I have EVER had! Completely manageable and lasted like 5 days (when my other ones while not on the pill were 6-7 days.) Hasn't lowered my sex drive (in fact it might have upped it now that I think about it), no acne problems, etc. And the great part is I get it for free!"


"This is the only thing that has worked!

A bit of gas, but no problems otherwise.  Insurance is not covering it because of the expense, but it is worth the expense to be regular again after years of trying everything under the sun.  24 mcg 2x daily with food and I'm a happy camper!"


"My 10 yr old son would get stomach cramps and diarrhea every time he tried milk. We tried lactaid on two different occasions a few weeks apart and both times caused vomiting. Obviously something in the pills does not agree with him."


"Been on Lutera for about a month now and so far so good! I got my period the day I took the red pill and so far, my period has been SO much lighter than before. I have little to no cramps and before I had horrible cramps and heavy, heavy flow. I haven't felt moody or depressed, and I've experienced no weight gain. Although, I do get hungry come night I just drink water and it fills me up. But so far so good with Lutera! A ."


"It is awfully hard to open up the package containing the pills for me. I think Aubagio has helped my symptoms and other than thinning my hair a little no other side effects or relapses noted. Is there a way to change the packing to a pill bottle so they are easier to use."


"I just got skyla. The insertion was... not something I'd like to do again. I've never had kids, just got married. I couldn't take the ibuprofen they were going to give me because I was also being tested for low blood sugar so I had to fast and it would have been too hard on my stomach. The insertion hurt, but according to my doctor it was really easy considering I had never had a kid before. But I am terrible at remembering to take my pill so... yeah"

"I was on Loestrin 24 for two years and just recently switched to Gianvi. I've almost finished my first pack and I feel so much better. My moods on Loestrin were terrible! I was always irritable and didn't have any motivation to do anything. Now that I've switched I'm not as irritable and I don't feel so tired. Also my skin has cleared up and looks amazing! No weight gain or change in appetite. I'm happy with the results and hopefully it'll stay this way!"


"I take Xanax 1mg 4 x a day, but I didn't want to up the dose and was prescribed Buspar; it saved my sanity. No more panic attacks and it made me FOCUS and be able to function normally again."


"I smoked for over 25 years. Doc wrote me a script for Chantix. In less than a week I was sickened by nicotine. I was completely smoke free within two weeks of using it. That was 3 1/2 years ago. I was lucky, no dreams, no loss of sleep, no suicidal thought, nothing but minor nausea about an hour after consuming the daily pill. I didn't even have to use it for more than a month. I don't know if it matters, but I have always responded favorably to any kind of anti-depressant. I wonder if that is why this worked so well for me and not for others? Who knows. I'm just a happy ex-smoker."


"After trying Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall. This medicine changed everything. I am organized and focused for first time in my life, I'm 38. Only draw back is it last about 6 hours for me not 12. But 6 productive hours, actually finishing things is better than I've ever had!"


"Best thing since slice bread.  Very expensive but worth it.  "


"I was very much against taking medications but I am so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone.  Lexapro saved my life and my sanity.  I was suffering from very bad anxiety which just got worse and worse.  I didn't know what it was at first so I spent a lot of time and money going to all different doctors trying to find out.  Finally after researching anxiety and enough people telling me that is what it was I gave in and took this pill.  The first week is horrible and the side effects are bad but luckily my doctor warned me and said just make it through the first week and you will be okay.  By the second week the side effects faded and I was back to my old self (before anxiety) but even better.  Don't hesitate to take this, I wish I took it sooner!"


"My 10 yr old son was diagnosed with ADHD 4 years ago. He has been taking Focalin 10mg for 2.5 years and it has been wonderful for him. He has steady good grades and his focus improved greatly. He only takes this during school days, not during weekends nor during the summer months. He understands it helps him even at 10 yrs. It is important, at least for our family, to ensure he's part of the treatment plan and feel in control of this as well. Also, my son communicates with us on how it makes him feel and the only worry I have when he's taking this is his loss of appetite or not eating enough. So we always have a good breakfast before school starts and he takes the pill on his own (of course I watch from a distance."


"I'm 23 and my acne has always been bad since I was a teenager. I have blemishes all over and I'm always breaking out. I tried just about everything, soaps, creams, facial washes, etc. Recently I asked my physician what can he give me for my acne, he prescribed me 'Tretinoin Cream, USP, 0.025%'. At first this cream broke me out bad so I stopped using it. So I finally went to the dermatologist and she prescribed me 'Differin', 'Doryx', and a facial wash. I take the Doryx in the morning on an empty stomach, then I use the Differin after I wash my face with Irish Spring Aloe and at night I mix the Differin with the Tretinoin. I've been doing for a week now and it is clearing up my skin pretty good. I can't wait to see the results after a month."


"I am 50 years old. About 5 years ago I started to notice a decline in firmness which has been slowly getting worse. Two months ago started using 20mg Cialis. WOW enjoying sex everyday again. My wife hands me a pill every second day. Saved my marriage. No side effects. Have noticed very firm long lasting erections the next morning."


"Severe back pain, severe neck pain, and torn rotator culf"


"I have suffered from overactive bladder for years, and my Toviaz is extremely effective, UNLESS I will be standing for a period of time (eg:outdoor concerts) Then my weak pelvic floor causes increased feelings of urgency and spasm. My Gyno suggested I take this prior to going out, and then I can stand comfortably w/o feeling like I have to constantly pee! It has greatly improved my social life enjoyment. I am prone to having serotonin syndrome, which is 1 of the possible side effects so I have to be sure I take my meds several hours apart, then I am fine."


"Here is what nicotine does to your brain...
Nicotine also can have effects on the parts of the brain that sense pleasure. When nicotine gets into the brain, it is able to stimulate the release of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. Dopamine activates some of the neurons in the part of the brain that register pleasure. As a result, nicotine triggers a chemical sensation of pleasure, which causes people to associate tobacco use with a feeling of pleasure.
Here is what Chantix does to it...
Chantix messes with the part of the brain that senses pleasure, looks forward to things, has hope for tomorrow.  It takes that all away. I took Chantix and the effects were catastrophic.  Needed three meds to counter it.  Stay away!"


"Haven't had a drink in a whole week - which is good for me - seems to be working fine for me!"


"Have been on this for 8 days now , still struggling to eat ( having to force myself )  , only getting 3 hours sleep and they blooming lucid dreams and hands and head always hot when in bed , spaced out a bit but do feel a little calmer just really wish the side effects would go away , giving it another 6 days then I'll need to stop so hopefully they go away .....just my experience tho please don't let it affect yours they are worth a try"


"Aleve helps a lot"


"I took Topamax for 2 months until I finally threw in the towel and could take no more. It did stop the migraines but the other side effects were horrible. I did have the tingling in my hands, feet, and lips and food did taste way different.  I was so depressed I could barely even get out of the bed. I actually GAINED about 5 lbs. while I notice most everyone else lost weight. I cried everyday for a week straight and I'm not like that. My house was a wreck and I could barely help my son with his homework. "


"I've been taking this pill for 5 months now and LOVE it! periods are two days, if that, no acne, no weight gain(actually lost 15 pounds in the first 2 months), no labido changes. I had severe migraines when prescribed this medication of up to 3 a week. since i've started taking it, I've had one a month."


"I had a hysterectomy and was suffering from no sleep at all. My doctor gave me Ambien and it did work for the first few nights then sleepless nights returned. A few days ago he gave me Dalmane and I couldn't be happier. I am sleeping all night now.  However, I do have a slight headache in the morning."


"have had many colonoscopies. moviprep doesn't work well enough on me, previous 4 litre stuff worked very well. Repeating scope 8 months later. Moviprep AGAIN, doctor suggesting 2 extra days of liquid diet...blech!"


"I started on 100 mg to help with the sexual side effects of Celexa.  For the first five months, it worked great (April - September).  At the end of September through to October, I started to have memory and concentration problems.  I started to think I had done things and actually did not.  My last straw was when I "know" I sent an e-mail and eventually found out that I had not.  I "remember" typing and sending the e-mail, but it never happened.  I went to the doctor today and she took me off of it and because of the sexual side effects of Celexa, she started me on Zoloft.  I have tried Paxil in the past, but it gave me hallucinations.  Hope the Zoloft works."


"I tried literally everything from the "best" off the shelf products to the long line of prescription medications that my dermatologist put me on, I finally got put on Accutane after 5 years of severe cystic acne. I am currently in my second month of use and without any acne. My acne scars remain intact, however, there is not a single active zit on my face. I am very excited and would recommend that anyone with cystic acne look into it.
If you're on here looking at these reviews because you're scared or unsure if it will treat your acne, I'm telling you it will! 100%"


"I've suffered from migraines for 25 + years. I had my first appointment with a headache specialist /neurologist this month and she started me on nortriptyline 10 mg, 1 x day for a week and step up to 30 mg daily. That was a Monday. I had a severe migraine from Monday night until Saturday as my last dose was Thur night and headache carried over into Friday. Saturday was much better. I also experienced a terrible pressure in my neck and head like my BP was elevated (normally my BP is great unless I'm in pain). I was incredibly irritable as well. After stopping nortriptyline, the daily headache issue subsided as well as the pressure in neck and head. I still have migraines and will find something else. In short.... No. I won't take it again."


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


"I have used Mon7 in the past and didn't have a problem with it.. but I used it tonight.. and it burned instantly.. it burned so bad that I cried for 20mins trying to get it all out! I don't have an std or sti.. -_-  It's 12:21am and I can't sleep.. next time I will go to the doctor :("


"I was prescribed 300mg of clindamycin every 6 hours for 5 days for several teeth that became infected after being broken and crowned as a kid. I was terrified to take it after reading about it but I have not had any terrible side effects. Some very mild bloating and gas, but all antibiotics do that to me. Just take it with a snack and a glass of water, and take a good probiotic capsule several hours after each antibiotic capsule. This will help A LOT if you want to avoid diarrhea and a yeast infection. I would also take probiotics for a week or two after finishing the clindamycin, to help restore your body's good intestinal flora and bacteria."


"It has saved my life used daily. I've been on it for years. No side effects."


"So far I am AMAZED. I have had chronic migriane for past 15 years at least twice a week on a good week, I am 45 now. Before it was occasional like once a month since a teenager. I work in a fairly high stress professional office environment. It has affected my work and mood negatively.  I have absolutely tried everything before I recently tried amitriptyline from acupuncture, diet, meditation, homeopath, blood pressure pills, massage therapy and 3 neurologists. (Imitrex works but I was to reliant on it). I was very groggy the next day for 1 week on 25 ml of amitriptyline at night around dinner time. Which didn't go well with my career and thought I would have to stop it but I read here it does go away and it did!  3 Weeks in and no migraine."


"I remember tears rolling down my face as I signed the packet confirming that I understood the potential side effects of taking this medicine. I had suffered from large and painful cystic acne on my jawline since I hit puberty around 13 and nothing - natural remedies, chemical-filled lotions, Spironolactone, birth control pills, change in diet, drinking more water, etc. - had come close to fixing it. I have depression and Crohn's in my family and worried this would make it worse. Aside from dry lips and dry skin I did not have any side effects and my acne is FINALLY GONE. Started April '15 ended in November '15. I did have an initial breakout. I know many people who have taken it as well who do not have any horror stories. Don't be afraid!"


"I am 39 and have bad cystic acne along my jawline. My Dermatologist prescribed me to take 100mg a day for 3 months. The first month I saw no change and did flare up as others have mentioned. By the end of month 2, my skin looked incredible. I stopped after 3 months because this drugs completely screwed with my libido. I used to be very sexually active with my husband and after taking this drug my libido has dropped in such a drastic manner. Whatever you do, DO NOT STOP TAKING THIS DRUG COLD TURKEY. You will swell up and retain water for 3 weeks. Ensure that you taper yourself off. I have now been off the drug for 5 months and my skin is back to being as oily as ever and the acne has returned. My next step will be Accutane or Minocyclin."


"I've been on Sronyx for 4 weeks now and so far things I've noticed has been increased acne breakouts (not horribly), really bad bloating around my period, and some weight gain (luckily only 3 lbs). Other than that there hasn't been any other side affects."


"I was prescribed gabapentin for insomnia.    It works, but I'm hungover the next day.   I mentioned it to my pain doctor and she said when my body adjusts to it -- that will stop.    She's thinking about pan -- I'm thinking about sleep.   I haven't taken it long enough to see if it helps my pain."


"I just started this medicine today I don’t know how it’s going to work I have been so scared to take a pill because of past experiences. I have been feeling like this for  a long time.  It started in about 2005 when stress level went sky high. I used to hold everything in and not talk about what I was going thru, always trying to make everybody happy and that as long they was happy I was good. I was a people pleaser and I was helping people and couldn’t say no to them and that just impacted me so much that I was hurt emotionally and broken. But now I am trying this medicine because I heard so much good report I want to feel good too, I want to feel alive and happy again"


"So for about a month I was having horrible itching, burning, and clumpy, white discharge that was ruining my sex life. Yesterday after my fianc"


"I have very frequent bouts of sinusitis with general associated dizziness. Over the last 2 years I've had way too many scripts for Antibiotics (which eventually didn't work anymore) so the doc has occasionally suggested Prednisolone. Did this in December and after a few days all good! Right now in June I'm in trouble again so again on the Pred and tapering down over a week, but I avoid it at night cos it keeps me awake. I'm feeling almost alive again today. Hopefully I'll be out of the woods again soon!"


"For some, lithium is the most effective choice for bipolar mania.  Unfortunately for me, it's not.  My body rebelled against it immediately and without pause for its entire 60-day 'trial'.  My bowels were never solid the entire time.  I'm amazed now that I never recognized any dehydration symptoms over that time.  It worked for my dear departed mother, but not for me, but I gave it a shot."


"I have had to take this medicine numerous times, the ABSOLUTE best way to take it and not taste it is fill your mouth with Keifer and drop the pill in your mouth and then swallow. You will not taste the metallic taste!"


"I have had yeast infections before, My doctor would always give me the 1 tablet for my yeast infection but it never seemed to work so I decided to try Monistat last night since I knew for sure I had a YI. I inserted the little egg at around 11pm about an hour later I started to feel some serious discomfort. I started to get nervous because of the extremely uncomfortable burning, I read some of the reviews and decided to stick it out for a couple of hours. I took another shower with cold water which helped A LOT After 1 1/2 hour the burning faded away. I woke up the next day and had no symptoms of a YI. Yes the experience was painful but it did the job !!"
