"I have no children. I've been switched between Orthotricyclen and Sprintec and I really see no difference, besides one thing. The same issue everyone is having: breast tenderness. This medication makes my breasts extremely sensitive. The plus side is your breasts do swell; not a huge, visible difference, but you can feel it with your hands if you're used to your breasts not being swollen. They stay swollen 3/4 of the time so be careful during sex because I find mine to be SUPER sensitive that at times it hurts."


"I gave this medication a 4 because I lost 10 pounds in 2 months on it. It did nothing for my pain and depression, though. I took 60 mg and I weighed from 110-120lbs."


"I have been on Zoloft 25-150 mg for over 2 years. This has been the BEST 2 years of your life. Let me say that it took at least 90 days to really kick in and side effects to abate. If you have spent YEARS obsessed about your every action and thought, fearful and angry, depressed the 90 days of side effects is NOTHING. NOW if you want to keep living the way you are living because of dreams, diarrhea , INITIAL loss of appetite and weight loss then so be it. Improvement takes time. I was a 10 year Paxil user. Have TRIED lithium, Prozac, Luvox, tegretol, Xanax, Valuim, Alcohol, illegal drugs, supplements, buspar, kolonopin and on and on. ZOLOFT gives me a chance at life. I am still me with growing up issues at 50 plus but man this ZOLOFT is the deal."


"This product has been a life changer!!! I would be so embarrassed to wear anything other than black or white shirts. The amount of sweat I would have under my arms was crazy. I remember going to my cousin's wedding and was wearing a tan suit and you can see the sweat stains on the outside of my suit. I tried everything to padded under arm t-shirts, sweat block, certain Dri and nothing worked until this. I can't believe that after years of dealing with this problem I am now completely dry. The ultimate test for me was my week long vacation this past May in Puerto Rico, I only wore tank tops everyday and not one drop of sweat under my armpits!!! This product has changed my life!! Please give it a try b/c it really works."


"I went from prostatitis to tendonitis. This medicine has certainly cured my prostatitis, but my knee joints and ankle joints have been aching. "


"Maxalt was a wonderful medication for two years, then its effectiveness rapidly diminished.  My unforeshadowed migraines feature very mild headaches; instead, I first lost my sense of balance, then my lunch, and then the desire to live for the next three hours. Although I was on a migraine-suppressing tricyclic and metroprolol, migraines would punch through two to eight times a month. Maxalt shutdown such migraines within 20 minutes-no side effects. (NOTE: Maxalt did not suppress the rare aura).  After further adjustment of my daily medicines, my rescue medicine became Relpax   2 Aleve."


"Amazing results, I am 35 and been getting these on my lips and Nose since I was 16. I always struggled to get them to heal, they usually take two weeks and leave a nasty scar afterwards. I recently went to the doctor because I was getting them more frequently this past year. She gave me the 1gm tablets and told me to take two right away on the onset of the cold sore (tingle stage and tiny bump) I felt it coming in the night while I was sleeping and went to look in the mirror and sure enough I had one popping up. I immediately took two valtrex then 12 hours later took two more, then repeat until all pills gone.  The cold sore stopped growing in size. I used compeed patches also. The sore went away in 3-4 days."


"I have been on Rebif for a little over 8 years.  I still get fever/chills sometimes during the nights I have a shot.  This medication has been a life saver for me. I have had no relapses since I began."


"Been on it for about 4 months now so maybe things haven't stabilized. I'll say that it's effective, I haven't gotten pregnant. First month was great, no side effects at all. Immediately after the first month, however, I started spotting enough to need to wear a panty liner all day, and I've been constantly spotting since. No periods, just constant spotting. It's annoying but I guess it could be worse. No other side effects that I've noticed."


"The shot was my first experience and method of birth control. I was scared the most of the weight gain more then anything else, After reading reviews on different birth controls and peoples experiences with it I couldn't bare the fact of gaining so much weight. After having the shot gaining weight wasn't an issue with me ( i actually lost weight) it was my hormones and emotions were crazy!! For 3 months my mood swings were unbarreable! It ruined relationships with me and my boyfriend! It made me very depressed and sad causing me to major outbreaks. Now that I am off it i feel so much more calm and like myself! Worst 3 months of my life. The only good thing was my nauesa wasnt too bad, and i only got my period twice"


"Doxycycline cleared my skin up after 6 weeks. It's been such a relief to be completely clear for almost 3 months. This is the second time I've used doxycycline and I think it actually worked even better this time around. It finally gave some of my scars a chance to heal and lighten because I wasn't continuously breaking out on top of them. Now, let's see how long my skin will stay like this (fingers crossed). If other people out there are like me and have lived for years just putting up with the breakouts, something like this is worth trying."


"It is extremely difficult to Use during an acute asthma attack.  It is rather terrifying trying to be able to breath enough to actually take this medicine.  My husband dug around for an empty Ventolin to stop the attack."


"I took this medicine for two years and it worked great but I developed a cough then I had to change it for another."


"I actually really enjoy this birth control. It's been the first and only birth control that I've tried, and I can't complain. I didn't gain weight, my acne didn't get worse or better, my sex drive is fine and really I didn't have any of the awful symptoms that typically accompany birth controls. The only thing that did happen to me, was when I first began using Lo Loestrin, I had a different mood each week for the first month. One week I'd be sad, the next mad, the next happy, so on and so forth until my body got accustomed to what was happening. Now it's like I'm not even on anything!"


"Works well if you are PreMenopausal, Menopausal or PostMenopausal and has experienced itch around vagina due to dryness, hot flashes and night sweats. Highly recommended."


"I'm 34 years old. First period was at 9 yrs old. By 15 my periods were pain filled and I was diagnosed with cysts on my ovaries. Birth control was prescribed. Fast forward through a pregnancy and more ovary issues, January of 2012 I had the Implanon put in. life was fantastic. Not one period until December 2014 , a couple of months before I was due to have the replacement put in. Nexplanon implanted early February and life went on!

July of 2015 was my first "double period" month. August and September were the same so I visited the doctor where I heard "irregular bleeding was normal and was put on estrogen. No periods for October. November -2 periods, now they are happening every other week!!

No explanation!!"


"I have been taking this for several years for a tremor and anxiety. I take it 3 times a day, it works so well, but lately Doctors are giving me hard time filling it because it's considered a controlled substance. I have tried other medications and this works the best for me."

"I have been on Phentermine for 3 1/2 months and have lost 43lbs with no exercise. I am currently 165lbs with a goal weight of 135. My doctor prescribes it differently from the norm, 11 days on and 3 days off so your system doesn't get used to it. I refer to it as my "will power" pill. I have tried most weight loss programs including weight watchers and they were unsuccessful. I have made many changes in my diet as he recommended. I eliminated all whites (potatos, pasta, rice,bread) even though his recommendation was to only to reduce them. I have also given up all soda, candy, sugar,etc. The pill is absolutely fantastic but you still have to make healthy food choices. My only side effect is dry mouth which just makes you drink more water."


"Does anyone have a cough With taking Effexor XR?  This has helped me a lot. I had been on Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac and Effexor was the best. Feel more normal and have taken it since 2008. It does cause constipation. I tried going off of it once and I was back on it within 3 days. It was horrible. Does anyone have neck pain with it or maybe it's something else going on for me."


"Doctor warned me it tasted bad.  Understatement.  HORRIBLE!  Numbs my mouth but is tolerable.  Noticed huge difference the next day.  Mood is great but I slept for 12 hours after first taking it.  I'm sure my body will get used to it and that will stop happening.  I'm supposed to take it twice a day but can't unless I want to sleep 24 hours a day.  I expect to take it twice daily once my body adjusts.  No other side effects except taste and sleep.  Didn't have to use Lunesta for first time in months."


"I take 10mg at night. Been on it 6 weeks no migraines maybe 2 headaches. Wouldn't take more than 10mg tho."


"I have only been taking ferrous Sulphate for 3 weeks but have found the results beneficial. My anemia was affecting my school work and social life as I had no energy to walk and it was really challenging me. Now, I can do normal things and don't get as tired - I believe they are working very well.
But, I seem to have got the short straw with the side effects. I now suffer from great constipation. I am also nauseous most days and my appetite has been lost. So, even though I have more energy etc., I am still not myself as I am always feeling sick or having bowel troubles."


"I started this only 25mg been on it 23 days and have had episodes of anxiety sitting at home some days. But my bp goes up when I have an attack. Anyone else have this happen and when I'm relaxed my pulse rate is around 69-70 but when I'm not its around 99-115. Dr wants me to stay on it this dose another 30 days as I'm sensitive to meds I also take Valium for meiner's but it's never helped my anxiety."


"I had nerve damage of the Saphenous Nerve as a result of a Total Knee Replacement surgery.  I had terrible nerve pain that was getting worse over two years post-op.  Norco helped a little.  I tried high doses of Gabapentin and that did not help. My Pain Specialist Physician prescribed levorphanol and it helped immediately. I take 2mg twice a day and feel no pain.  I have my life back and am grateful for this medication."


"I have suffered of frequent strong heartburn for the last 30 yrs. I purchased the 14 caps treatment and amazingly got well after the first take. 100% Recommended!"


"I LOVE it! My Dr. gave me the mini pill prescription after my 3rd daughter was born and I was on it for 2 weeks when I finally got my first period. I called and it was inserted. It was easy and painless. Slight bruising for a few days but that's expected. My period lasted 4 days and I haven't had one since! I occasionally will get bouts of nausea and during my normal monthly hormone fluctuations tend to get a little weepy but my Dr. told me to expect this as the first few months the hormone is a little stronger. I can't have false estrogen or I get horribly ill, this is a life saver. I've always taken the mini pill and its always taken my periods away completely. I think being on the mini pill before this was inserted helped ease my symptoms."


"On a scale of 1 to 10, my knee pain was a 25! Constant pain, I actually thought I would end up in a wheelchair.

Friend suggested I try Meloxicam, as it had worked for him.

OMG It took almost a week to work but once it kicked in, it performed a miracle.

Before that I couldn't find a comfortable position...it had me in tears and I am a strong person...cannot believe the relief.

10 STARS!  THANK YOU MELOXICAM!"


"I took this medication for 8 weeks.  The first 2 nights I had headaches but nothing I couldn't deal with.  That is the ONLY time I could even tell I was on the medication.  There is no trace of the virus in my blood work.  This medication is FABULOUS it worked for me and I would recommend it to anyone.  There is a newer drug out now where you don't even have to go get bloodwork throughout the process.  Science is awesome."


"I have chronic anxiety and have tried many many serotonin type meds over a 15-year span and have also suffered from depression very bad reaction to the meds.Being in hard labor  I worked all my life/Concrete-Tree removals-Underground utility work/water main repair etc...I have had numerous injuries to my back/neck/knees/hands/shoulders..broke many bones (comes with the territory) I was diagnosed with Degenerative disk disease and was prescribed Ultram 50 mg got up to 400 mg down to 300 now and what a difference not just with pain but my anxiety was reduced by at least 50% and depression was gone.My alertness increased and mood was elevated.Will try to stay on medication for life.Walmart had the med for $4-$12 if no ins."


"I have been on Tramadol for eight years now and could not function without it. I have uncontrollable movement sometimes all day long if I don't medicate starting when I wake up each day.  Presently I have to take the threshold amount of 400mg each day and now I need to take more to control the symptoms but I don't care because it works.  I was taking gabapentin as well but it makes me dizzy, gives headaches, and can't stay awake. Prefer tramadol.  Worried what I will do when it won't work any longer because of the volume I need to take for effects.  My restless legs syndrome is so severe I couldn't live or want to live without a prescription to control it.  Such a feeling of nerve pain it is intolerable.  "


"Better than glucophage alone."


"I was prescribed Vistaril 25mg to help relieve tension and was told to take 2 pills so 50mg if I 1 25mg pill didn't work. 50mg didn't really help either. I felt no improvement in how I felt aftetlr taking it. I was told after 30 minutes of taking it I should've felt better but it never happened. After 2 to 3 hours after taking it I felt somewhat relaxed but was more tired than  relax. Vistaril really didn't work out for me."


"I got Implanon put in my arm after my third child. I had a c section with my third baby and do not want to get pregnant again. My periods are really lite and occasionally get cramps. I exercise everyday but have not lost weight. My appetite has increased, by overall it has been great. I've had it now for almost 5 months, but one the 3 years is up, I will take out and not replace."


"Feel great along with other medicines."


"I started Contrave on June 19th, 2015. Once I got over the side effects and dosage increase, I had no cravings for sweets or snacks at all. I lost weight very quickly. In the past month, I have noticed that although I eat less as a whole, I do find myself taking some sweets and snacking a little. I have lost 20 lbs, however last month, I did not lose any weight. Anyone else feel like you sort of build up a tolerance to the drug, and it becomes less effective? Any suggestions for me?"


"IBS?    DO NOT TAKE should be the warning on this label.   6 hours after you take it.   Cramps...diarrhea...nausea.  Not worth it!"


"I've been on this birth control for about four months now. My breasts are growing at a consistent rate. My acne stayed the same. My periods are gone and I do not cramp at all. I have been more depressed and picking out little things to complain about to my boyfriend. He is trying to deal with it but this pill is slowly making me crazy. I need something else! I constantly feel sick and need to go to the bathroom. "


"I was put on Saphris after being on Clozaril for 13 years.  My schizophrenia is completely controlled on this medicine.  However, it is much less sedating than Clozaril and sleep is sometimes a challenge.  It also seems to not increase my appetite-- the first of its kind!  For awhile it was also prolonging the QT wave of my heart but that seems to have leveled off.  But I do have one major complaint.  It sometimes makes me forget how to pronounce words.  I guess this is similar to an effect of Topamax.  All things said, its good to be almost normal."


"I have dealt with depression stemming from an incident in my profession.  I was initially on Zoloft for about 1-2 years.  It worked OK but after a while not so much and all I got from it was that zombified "what's the point of life anyway" feeling.  I switched to Pristiq and it was much better.  It cuts the depression but doesn't give you that blahed out zombie feeling that the SSRIs can do.  I don't have much of the side-effects luckily.  I have noticed it takes longer to ejaculate (but I think my wife sort of likes that part of it- sorry for too much info). Anyway Pristiq is a great medicine.  I noticed some people here had bad experiences with it.  I think that's to be expected with all antidepressants. Keep trying and find the right one."


"Very rough cough for 3 days. Cough was dry with green mucus. Doc advised me to not take antihistamines at all and just stick to Tessalon. Glad I did! Cough 80% suppressed after 2 dosages. Plenty of water and 100% rest."


"Make sure you rub this cream in completely and wash off completely in the morning. I wasn't told to do so and was then told I had herpes (it was only a reaction to getting this cream all over my vagina)."


"I have been on Adipex for one week. I wanted to use it as an appetite suppressant while I changed my eating habits. I have used Adipex and the free I Phone App My Fitness Pal to track everything I eat and drink each day right down to vitamins and excercise. I have lost 7.5 lbs this week. No soda, no side effects. Hungry by dinner, but full quickly. I'm only looking to lose 40-46 lbs and I am well on my way! I suggest you only use this pill as an appetite supressant while you change your diet and excersise. If you continue your same patterns, this drug will only be a temporary fix."


"I have been on sprintec for over a year. All has been well and it has clearly worked for the purpose of preventing pregnancy. The one mistake I made was slipping my placebo pills and going on to the next pack instead, to avoid period. The period came two weeks later during my regular pills, and since then I have been spotting this dark brown gooey stuff. It sucks, but other than that I haven't had any problems with it."


"Been on Cymbalta for about 3 months now. I took off one notch for the rating because I seem to break out a little bit. Also I've noticed a slight decrease in libido.
Other than that, this has been a true miracle for me. I am able to hold down a job, I've gotten my finances in order, and I've never gotten along so well with my girlfriend.
For me, I take the 60 mg Cymbalta first thing in the morning at around the same time. I am really thankful to finally be able to have some sort of STABILITY in my life. "


"I have Fibromtalgia which was diagnosed recently after many, many visits to GP who told me it was a fancy name for depression and took me off dihydrocodeine and gave me 5mg codeine. After many months of pain I changed my doctor who prescribed much stronger painkillers and gabapentin.  I immediately felt better with a little pain but nothing compared to what it was. So far, fingers crossed, no side effects except feeling very tired and a little 'spaced' out. Recommend this to anyone."


"I tried Lialda, Pentasa, and a few other medicines for my moderate Crohn's Disease and they all made it worse. I tried Sulfasalazine and I am symptom free as long as I don't forget to take any doses. If I miss a dosage I may have some loose stool but after I go back to taking it I once again am symptom free."


"I suffer Acquired Angioedema. Ir's excellent to diminish angioedema episodes, rated at 250 mg.-daily. No side effects."


"Update: this is my fourth month in and the first time I have had a period with this implant I started bleeding a few days after my last post in here I've been bleeding for a month and one week now I'm not sure when it will stop it keeps getting light and switches to a heavy flow. I still haven't gained any weight but my sex drive has been down this last month (it could be from the contestant bleeding) doesn't make me feel sexy and I had a really high sex drive before I feel like it's ruining my sex life with my bf"


"I started taking loryna a year and a half ago. It significantly helped my moods and my periods were lighter and a lot less painful. I even managed to lose 15 lbs without doing anything. After the first three months I noticed that my hair was falling out and it was dry and lifeless. It was so bad I had to cut it down from my waist up to my chin. After a year of dealing with that I looked online for causes and noticed birth control could cause hair loss. So I looked to see if people had similar problems on loryna, and they sure did. So I've just got it switched. Hoping for the best now."


"Reading these reviews really helped me when I was still waiting so I promised myself that I would come back and leave a review for those who are worried sick. I had unprotected sex on the 18th, and took the pill 9 hours later. I was definitely ovulating and my partner came in me, completely. It was the worst case scenario. I live in France, so the pill was relatively cheap, just 6 somewhat euros. I didn't have any side effects after taking the pill, just a slight cramp. I was supposed to get my period on the 1st but I got it a week early. It's heavy considering it's the first day but I was never so happy to see blood in my life. To everyone who is freaking out, I know it's impossible to calm down but try to relax because it will work."


"I love it! It helped my anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder without a lot of side effects or even changing who I am."


"I used losartan instead of lisinopril for about five weeks, but stopped because I started to feel deeply depressed.  I am back on lisinopril again, ready to accept the concomitant cough.  Losartan was effective in keeping my blood pressure down.  However, my depression was an unacceptable byproduct.  Interestingly, I returned to normal after returning to lisinopril."


"I find the side effects terrible and am still constipated. For me it is not working and I am tired of the nausea, bloating, distention. I feel sick and nauseous all the time and have given this med over two weeks. Some people seem to have different experiences. You would have to try it. Can't wait to stop it. Tomorrow I plan to."


"I have been on Silenor since shortly after it hit the market....2011.  It has been life changing.  I can nap now, and some nights I can even sleep without it, which never happened on any other sleep meds.  I will say it took about 4 weeks when I initially started it for it to really do the job-those were a rough for weeks.  I also have very good commercial insurance that only requires a $5.00 co pay for a 3 month supply;  my old plan used to require $100 for a 39 day supply.  Since it is not cost prohibitive, it works well."


"I've had BV before in 2014 and was perscribed Flagyl. I don't recall that case being nearly as severe as this one. I had sex with my bf, about a week later I had yellow discharge, my vagina was red and irritated. I was SO uncomfortable. I thought I had a yeast infection so I tried otc yeast cream but NOPE not working. I couldn't take it and went to the doctor. They said I had bv. I'm on day 4 of 7 days and although my vag isn't on fire, the smell is gone but all of the discharge isn't gone. I've had nausea, dry mouth, and a change in taste. I will be on my period come the 5th or 6th so if I don't feel 100% before then I'm going back."


"I had this inserted in the beginning of June 2015 . The first 2 weeks I loved it I lost 10 pounds and my acne started to clear up. Then everything went down hill. I've had maybe a week and a half collectively that I haven't had a period, other than that I've had a heavy period or heavy spotting for about 4 months. Acne came back and oily skin and hair. The last period I had lasted 29 days and I was basically hemorrhaging according to my gyno (I had bad periods prior to nexplanon so heavy bleeding wasn't odd for me) It's a "good form of bc" only because its worry free but I'm getting it taken out 9/24/15 and finding another form of birth control. Everyone is different, try it for yourself, but its not for me."


"Ask your doctor to put you on a pill called "Minocycline Hcl Er". I take the 90mg and it does wonders combined. It does come with the side effects of headaches but it didn't last more than a week. The pill is very small and takes about a month to see results. I used the pill for less than 6 months before and my skin was glowing!! But, I stopped and I broke out again from using an oil for my hair. The two together is the best! I drink nothing  but alkaline water. I use ACURE facial cleansing crème argan oil + mint, Burt's Bees intense hydration cream cleanser w/ clary sage then apply the adapalene. My sensitive skin loves it!"


"I have had the injections of synvice 3 times so far the first time I got the injection it worked pretty good after about 3 weeks it made me pain free for about two to three months the second and third time I had the injections I did not feel a thing even after 3 weeks I'm going back to cortisone next time."


"I've only been using Duac for a couple of days and I see some improvement! I know a lot of people get side effects such as a burning face and flaky skin but I didn't get any of this, only a bit of dry skin round the spots and the first few days I used it, it made all my spots into white head spots! It's a really good cream to try out if you're running out of ideas! My doctor prescribed me this and advised me to use it every night before I go to sleep."


"For about 30$ a bottle I was taking 100mg in the morning and 50mg at night. I weight about 100lbs. I'm a teen and my acne blows. This helped to reduce how "angry" my acne was. However I will say this made me completely lose my appetite and if taken wrong can cause severe nausea. I did get 3rd degree burns when I was on it last summer and went off it for this summer however I might go back on it due to the fact the new topical cream I have sucks. All in all doxy was my hero but it definitely is a lot to handle."


"Calms my anxiety better then anything else. When I have anxiety attacks and take one or two Xanax I actually feel normal again and a lot more outgoing and I'm not so shy or afraid to meet and talk to new people that I may meet."


"Been taking the pills for 5 months, last two months I have had two full periods each month..and heavy bleeding. Also have felt huge mood changes, anxiety depression easily irritated.  I can clearly see changes in my mood before and after starting with these pills. Sorry but would never ever recommend them."


"I started saxenda a littler less than a month ago. I am 5'6 and started out at 201lb. I just got weighted yesterday at doc and am now 194lb. So I lost some weight but not that much. I haven't changed anything with eating/activity level but notices I eat way less than I did. I am still not at the full dosage I am taking that slow and just started getting welts at the injection site. This is not enough to make me stop. I want to see if this goes away in its own. I will update in another month while trying to eat more health and increasing my activity level."


"Can't believe all the negative comments.  My previous colonoscopy had a vile mixture to take.  Moviprep is a breeze.  Doesn't taste too bad.  Very easy to get down.  Started working after 1 hour.  No cramps.  I think if you follow the directions re what you eat in the days leading up to the procedure you should not have too many problems."


"Medicene made me very itchy all over."


"I've been taking spironolactone for 6 months due to hair loss from PCOS. The first 4 months my hair continued to shed.  There were many times I panicked and wanted to stop taking it, thinking it would just get worse (dose of 100 morning and night). I'm so happy I pushed through, I now have a lot of new hair growth and the shedding has stopped."


"Vyvanse 60mg ( 19 years old, 138 lbs )

Suffered of ADD since I was 7 years old. Never consulted before, I am now 19 years old. I just got my first prescription, I always had issue with my grades and I always had to work 5 times more than every other student for the same grade. Today after my first pill I just realized that in a normal condition my brain was only working at only 20% of its full capacity when studying, reading, driving or even in sexual relation (I had erectile dysfunction) and today with the pill I just felt invincible and in a super good mood (not understanding what you're studying or simply reading is just depressing). The pill made effect after 1 hour and it last approximately 10-12 hours. I really recommend Vyvanse."


"Have been on Sinequan/doxepin for depression for 26 years. Started a new position at work and started having anxiety issues. Doc added 10mg Lexapro to the mix in May but still having some anxiety. Starting on 20mg tonight. Hope it makes a difference. Any others notice a big change going from 10 to 20mg? It seems that when I have no anxiety (like when I take a Xanax) NOTHING gets in my way and I am damn good at my job. It's just when my head gets in the way that I get screwed up. Anyways, here's hoping!"


"PLEASE LISTEN

Ladies please. IUD method of bc is different for everyone. I'm 21 and had skyla for a year and a half. At first there were no complications. Later on, maybe 5 or so months into it I got terrible cramping. TERRIBLE. Where I would have to stop and drop everything I was doing, a PARALYZING stabbing feeling in my abdomen and vagina. It happened continuously throughout the day every day. It made it hard to go to work.

A few months after that I get diagnosed with an ovarian cyst in my right ovary. Usually not a big deal but it was painful.

A month after that......I have a huge cyst on my kidney. Which resulted in me having to get surgery and i lost half my kidney. Thanks skyla."


"I do like this medicine. I've been taking it for 2 months now. 18mg it has worked very good for me but I have lost my appetite. I think it is worth it. "


"Bad experience. Bad sleep."


"I have had the nexplanon for 5 months now. I hate it & would not recommend it! I was on BC pills for 3 years, but decided to try something different because the pills tend to give me headaches. I have a scar on my arm from the insert & it's very tender in that area of my arm. I have my cycle 3 weeks out of the month. I was told that my body would have to get use to the Nexplanon but after 3 months everything should be normal. That is not the case! I have gained 10 lbs so far, no sex drive & I am depressed normally all of the time. This was not me before getting the Nexplanon!! I have decided to have it removed & will have my consultation tomorrow. I cannot wait to get back to my BC pills. I rated this a 3 only bc I haven't gotten pregnant."


"I am 19 years old.  I was diagnosed with RRMS at the age of 15, in 2012. I started out on Rebif injections. I was on that for 6 months and had to stop due to anaphylactic shock. I had 3-4 flares and had to be treated by steroids. After, I started Copaxone and had 3-4 flares that caused a lot of damaged. I took this medication for 6 months and went into  anaphylactic. In June, I started  Tysabri. It took 6 months of fighting with my insurance to cover it. In the time being, I tested positive for JC virus. I had my 6th infusion Nov. 10, 2016. I can't emphasize and exaggerate enough how terrible I feel. I can barely move. I have severe chest pain and tightness. I'm so fatigued, I can't stay awake for more then a couple hours. I hate it."


"Been on Celexa for three months. It took a couple weeks to adjust to mild side effects such as heartburn and a general feeling that I'm full or not hungry. However, I no longer have those side effects and I feel great now!  I have social anxiety and for the first time in years I feel happy and more confident in social situations. I feel normal and have nearly no negative thoughts any longer."


"I contacted athletes foot terribly in 1982 while in military basic training. I literally tried every cream on the market with only temporary relief. I went to a podiatrist in 1997 and she prescribed lamisil pills one a  day for 12 days. The itching and burning was gone in 3 days but went ahead and finished the remaining doses. This is 5-17-2014 and i've been athlete foot free ever since. This is truly a miracle medicine."


"As a practitioner I have found Lysteda to be quite effective in the short term but many insurances do not cover it. In women who do not desire future childbearing and have a normal uterine shape (no huge fibroids) I have found office cryo (freezing) ablation to be as effective as hospital based electrosurgical or Heated fluid (hydrothermal). It takes about 20-30 minutes with simply a local anesthetic cervical injection and preprocedure Ibuprofen, Valium (5 mgs) and Percocet (one at home, one on arrival). The average patient pain assessment is 2-3/10 and 80% of women have no flow to what everyone else considers normal. Please ask your own practitioner about it.. It's called HerOption and I have no financial interest in the company"

"I would first like to say birth controls act different on every person who takes them but this one was terrible for me. I've had three for the past year, trying this one hoping it would be the one for me but it wasn't. In the first week I felt my moods changing and my appetite growing. By the end of three months I developed depression. not all because of the pill but I'm sure its some to blame. Hope this helps. "


"I just had mine put in today, I realize every experience is personal so take my review with a gain of salt.
This was the absolute worst pain I have ever experienced. I passed out, and the moment I woke up, I threw up from pain. Mind you, my pain tolerance is such that I didn't even cry when I broke my pelvis. I couldn't even drive myself home from the procedure, my husband had to leave work and pick me up. When I got home I was on Advil AND tylonal, still 10/10 pain. 8 hours later I'm at about a 6/10."


"I used Yaz on and off for several years and the first month was always the hardest: fatigue and extreme irritability. Your energy reserves should not be spent trying to keep rage in check. Nevertheless, after that adjustment period, I leveled out somewhat and experiences some pro's: clearer skin, fuller breasts, no noticeable weight gain (though I diet like a jockey) and of course no babies. Period was mercifully light (2-3 days) and PMS was slightly minimized (but still acknowledged by boyfriend). My libido slowly started to ebb.
By the 2nd or 3rd month, moderate depression. By the 4th, severe. By the time I started having suicidal thoughts, I decided to switch to a less psychologically harmful method of birth control: abstinence."


"One dose did the trick for me ... only 100mg."


"I was diagnosed at 10mths old after a knee biopsy. I have been taking methotrexate on & off since I was 16 years old & I am now 41 years old. This medication has greatly reduce the activity of the disease & has increased the quality of my life greatly. I have just changed from methotrexate oral tablets to methotrexate injections. The tablets were making me feel nauseous so my specialist decided to put me on injections to bypass my stomach. The injections are easy to administer & relatively pain free. I am presently just trying to find the right dose for me due to suffering side effects. 15mg has caused me a severely sore lips & mouth, nausea, dizziness, lethargy & abdominal cramps. 12.5mg is the correct dose for me."


"After taking for three days had a severe anxiety attack while driving a car. Ended up an emotional wreck the rest of the night. I've never had anything like that happen."


"I'm a lesbian, so I don't take this to prevent pregnancy, but because my periods were lasting two weeks before.
Pros: my periods are regular and lighter, and my skin is completely clear.
Cons: I originally gained around 15 pounds (which I have since lost), and I have no sex drive whatsoever.

My breast size also increased from a D to a G, which I guess could be seen as a positive or negative.  I personally find it frustrating.  I am also very emotional, but I think that's just part of my personality and unrelated to the birth control."


"I started on Jolessa after surgery for endometriosis and have absolutely no complaints. My doctor has me taking two packs continuously without taking the  placebos and it has done wonders in the area of pain. I've maintained the same weight, my breasts grew a cup size and I've had no spotting. I completely recommend this to anyone!"


"My doctor told me that peoples' responses break down into three categories: no period, regular period, or perpetual period (for the first 6 months). I got the first one and am so happy with it. My parents (I'm 21) are against birth control so having it in my arm and not worrying about taking a dose of my birth control is perfect. I am very happy about it."


"After years of treatments for acne and my only option before mass treatment (Accutane), I tried TriNessa... it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Even if it took three months to notice improvement and first became worse than better, was worth it, 100%. It took almost 6 months to be almost clear. Be patient. Is worth it."


"I have been on 100 mg Nucynta 4x a day for several years. Took a long time for me to grow used to it but alas.. i did. And you will. I never had any side effects at all and this med initially controlled the pain from a level 2 fusion, facet joint arthritis of the spine, 5 exploratory wrist surgeries and some other things but didn't last long.. I have never tried any other narcotic for pain and have decided since opiates have gotten so badly out of hand lately and the laws are going to be majorly tightening on them soon that I am not refilling the Nucynta this time. I am going off the pain killers cold turkey. Good luck to you all with your pain and finding what works for you all."


"I have been taking 40mg/day of Nadolol for 13 years and except for some tingling fingers and feeling more cold than usual, it's been great. Some would not be happy with my results because my migraine FREQUENCY has not changed, but now an Excedrin Migraine or cup of coffee will work wonders in less than an hour. My heart rate is in the 50s but I don't notice.  One of the life changes I did make though, is cutting out caffeine in my diet. This is important so when I DO get a headache, the caffeine in the Excedrin or coffee really gives me a punch. I tried weaning off Nadolol years ago but the Excedrin wouldn't do the trick anymore."


"I have been on this for approximately 15 years. This is the only pill that works for me and my chronic congestion. Unfortunately my healthcare provider will no longer cover the cost so I have to try to find something similar."


"Medicine was effective to a degree it ameliorated muscle pain, joint inflammation, and mild-to-severe headaches.  Inflammation/rash in upper body area (predominantly on the back) occurred within a week of beginning three-week regimen--persisted until end of ingestion; though it faded in both discoloration and swelling, as well as itching, over time.  Some blurred vision and intestinal discomfort occurred, but was not debilitating to any significant degree.  While fatigue was lessened somewhat, it did not preclude a general feeling of somnambulism or sleepiness; which my physician says may persist for a few weeks or even months. Overall, I'd rate this as an effective medication against the Lyme Disease I developed."


"Diagnosed with Type A influenza on Wednesday morning with symptoms starting Tuesday night. Started Tamiflu at 4 pm on Wednesday and 24 hours later I have only cold symptoms. I am very tired but I'm also 25 weeks pregnant. Very thankful for Tamiflu and would recommend it to anyone. Only downside is the COST!"


"I have been taking Lorazepam 1mg as needed for about 6 months for Panic Disorder. It is the only thing I have found that helps me with minimal side effects. It is just frustrating dealing with doctors and psychiatrists who do not like the drug and want to keep experimenting on me with different drugs. I feel like my anxiety would calm down significantly if I was allowed to take this at a small dose every day, rather than only when I have panic attacks but for now I am following doctor's orders."


"I switched over to the NuvaRing from Gildess FE 1/20 simply for the convenience.  Gildess worked great for me, no side effects, so I figured I would try NuvaRing.  I had to stop it after two months.  The second month on the ring, I experienced off and on anxiety, depression at times, unmotivated, and just not like myself.  I attributed it to it being finals week in college... but when I didn't feel at peace at all during break, I knew something was wrong.  I even flipped out on my boyfriend for no reason and ignored him.  The final straw was the random crying outbursts I experienced.  Nothing was bothering me, but I found myself fighting back random tears.  Back to Gildess for me!  Thank god!  I can't sacrifice emotional stability for convenience."


"Useless. Tried for several days on torn rotator cuff and hip labrum. Thought I could get same relief from ibuprofen but maybe without the nosebleed side effects. But got no relief at all. Waste of $20 coupon. Notice many of the positive reviews are from those also using OxyContin."


"I have been on Savella for maybe 3 months now.  I have seen improvement in my pain BUT the extreme sweating is causing me to rethink if the Savella is worth it.  I am a nurse and it's very embarrassing when I have to step out of a room to wipe my face before I start an IV (one of my patients thought her IV was leaking and I had to tell her, "No, it's me".  Yesterday was the worst day... My hair was never dry and I was dripping sweat in my face and my eyes were burning.  I ordered a sweat band (did not want to do) and will try this before I stop the medication.  Hope this helps you."


"The first few months I experienced flu-like symptoms. Then joint and muscle pain followed. I couldn't even walk or climb stairs without pain. I am only 52! After 10 months on it I gave up."


"I was prescribed Seroquel 200mg doses along with Lexapro after a bad episode recently.  I have been unable to work since and have found my dreams to be vivid and disturbing. This drug should not be taken lightly and I would recommend a second opinion from a medical professional before commencing a course. This drug will make you sleepy, so much so it can be difficult to continue with your employment, driving, development and maintenance of relationships between family and friends, nausea, dizziness, depletion of sex drive and the list continues. It can be helpful in many cases, but please make sure by second or even third opinion."


"Was prescribed 500mg for 3 days for acute bronchitis and got worse on day 4 to the point of needing to go to the hospital. Deepened cough, unable to breathe and severe stomach cramps. This drug is useless and only promotes worse super bugs and antibiotic resistant strains."


"I have had the gout since I was 26, am now 73. I took allipuronol 300mg for many years (it worked). My doctor has changed me to Uloric 40 for about 6 months and have had no side effects, my blood tests are well in range. I am very pleased with this."


"I haven't taken any antibiotics for 6 years, 2 days with metronidazole, I felt it right away, that it was working so well. The fact that I don't take any medication made it super helpful. Also eating the right food and taking probiotic, prebiotics daily. I know it probably doesn't make sense, taking probiotics while on antibiotics. I did some research, it's okay if you take the probiotics 2 hour or more after you take the antibiotic. They gave me metronidazole for 2x a day in 7 days. So what i did is  I take it morning and night time and in between, I take probiotics and enzymes. I Also eat lots of fermented food like kimchi, lots of veggies, drinking bone broth and green juice. Green tea is also good while on antibiotics."


"Cough kept getting worse at night so doctor had me start this medicine and I stopped the Tylenol cough and cold.  First night I was up at 4 am with dry throat, dry eyes and a bloody nose.  Took another dose with water and it took almost an hour to kick in.  Second night I didn't seem to help at all, kept coughing and was probably worst night of all.  Waited for dose to wear off then went back to Tylenol for a good night sleep."


"I've struggled my whole life with cold sores. Having this horrible problem since I was 2 years old I've been through almost every treatment for them. I've discovered for me it's always either stress, dramatic change in weather, ranch dressing, or sun/tanning bed that make them appear. Valtrex helps so much! I take four in the morning and four at night for only one day and it works amazing. I also use Viroxyn. It's magical too. These two are the only thing that seem to help mine!"


"I have been on Nexplanon for 1 year and I love it!! I have a period once every 2 months, it lasts 6-7 days but it's very light (spotting) not even enough to wear a tampon I just use a pantie liner and I'm good to go. It it very effective against pregnancy, I have had intercourse several times with no protection other than Nexplanon and have had NO PROBLEMS with it. I get a bunch of those cheap pregnancy tests to make sure I'm not pregnant and I never am! I plan to get it put back in after my 3 years is up"


" Originally I was taking gabapentin which helped a little but ended up making my pre existing tinnitus much much worse. I started doing my own research as my doctor wanted to give me Lyrica or Cymbalta both of which are a big no no for tinnitus patients. I stumbled across Keppra and found a few studies done for nerve pain. I also found that Keppra is the only anti epileptic on the market without tinnitus listed as a side effect. I approached my doctor about this and she agreed to let me give it a try. I started off at 500mg twice a day and now take 750mg twice a day. It has done wonders for my nerve pain! I have managed to have pain free days/weeks and minimal pain over all with no side effect"


"Had to switch to this from Levora that worked great. Even though Portia kept me from getting pregnant, I woke up every morning with cramps, nausea and by week 3 I had purpura show up on my legs."


"I was sold this medicine as a natural remedy.  All it does is make my eye worse and irritate the one eye I have used it for.  It become inflamed and even redder.  No wonder really as it contains a cocktail  of acids, include hydrochloric.  No more natural than anything you'd find a lab.  I think I'll use distilled water."


"I got nexplanon in July and haven't had a period or any kind of breakthrough bleeding since. No weight gain or loss. However I've noticed a significant increase monthly of severe depression and anxiety. Is the nexplanon the reason or life in general I'm not sure. I was warned about the depression being a side effect. I've even had  suicidal thoughts and am no longer social or interested in anything. Again is it nexplanon or is it just the way things are going in my life? It's hard to tell. But I do LOVE not having a period ever. See drive is 0....not good for the hubby. I feel extremely tense all the time. Smiling has become a thing of the past. It's doing it's job but so is the no sex drive. I am considering removing it tho."


"This is a miracle medicine. It has gotten terrible publicity lately. I took it in 2004 with terrible and painful acne and have had clear skin ever since. Nothing else worked and I tried everything. The side effects are completely trumped by the effectiveness of the medicine."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I took this and a couple of weeks later had to have an endoscopy due to severe abdominal pain.  It contains sucralose, so if you are allergic to that, look out. I would not recommend it to anyone who has a sensitive stomach. "


"I had migraines for years before I finally was sent to a neurologist.  He gave me a samples of many of the prescription migraine medications that are out there now and many of them, including Imitrex, just did not work or made me really fatigued.  Zomig worked really fast and I have no side effects at all.  If I can take it as soon as I can feel the headache coming on, it is gone before I really realize it."


"It's the first medicine that really helped my Fibromyalgia. Very happy it - it's nice to have the pain go away. For me, it was much more effective than Norco or Lyrica."


"I bought Abreva when I felt my first tingle. I applied it 5/6 times a day every day. My cold sore got huge.I still have my cold sore and I'm on day 12 :( now a new sore is popping up. I felt the tingle of the Abreva every time I put it on, but it didn't help at all."


"Unfortunately, did not help 4 year old with chest infection. "


"Was given this today due to week-long cough, congestion and runny nose due to bronchitis and possible pneumonia (still awaiting xray results). Took 1 tsp dose at 5pm, within 10 minutes had severe nausea and chest pain. Laid down, cold rag...symptoms disappeared suddenly within 10 minutes. Stood up, they came back. Repeated lying down/cold rag...symptoms went away. MIGHT have been because I hadn't eaten since 12:30 pm, but not sure. Only the one dose so far. Did have about 5 minutes of feeling like I was sedated, drifting/dozing off, but that went away also. Cough has virtually disappeared though. Can take Vicodin without having these side effects. Symptoms were identical to when I've had Morphine without Zofran immediately following."


"I have a severe urinary tract infection, which has also affected my left kidney. Although this medicine makes me sick every time I take it, its in my system long enough to keep in there. It is the worst medicine to ever have to take, but I have to say it is probably doing its job! I still have 4 days of it left, wish me luck, but I would recommend this to anyone who has a serious infection. I have been on 3 other medicines before this one, ciprofloxacin included, and none of them even touched it! It's worth the sickness sometimes for a healthier life!"


"Taking 50 mg/day for about 3 months for depression/OCD/ anxiety mix.  Was previously on 40 mg of Prozac which worked well but had some cognitive clouding on occasion (seems seasonally dependent). Pristiq worked well for about 2 months then had terrible side effects of headache, inability to concentrate, irritability, constipation.  "


"I've been taking this med - or just the Benadryl, which is the sleep inducing part of Tylenol PM - for several years now, as needed.  It definitely helps me to fall asleep more easily when I might otherwise lay awake for an hour or two.  I did notice that it seems to loose its effectiveness somewhat if I use it too frequently.  I've had no noticeable side effects."


"I just had my third device inserted today after having a baby recently. The first was inexplicably expelled a few years after placement, the second was noted to not have proper placement on an ultrasound, unrelated to the device, so it was removed. While I've had the device I have not had a noticeable change in my periods, weight or mood. I am pleased with the IUD despite my previous experiences, although I do not feel like they were negative because they did not cause me harm or pain. I am very pleased with the IUD. It provides me protection and I do not have to worry about taking a pill every day, missing a pill or taking something with hormones."


"I took the pill twice. I didn't have any symptoms with it. The first time my period was 4 days late. And the second time I missed it for a whole month! I was totally freaking out thinking I was pregnant.  I took 2 pregnancy test, they were negative. And surely the following month my period was back in track."


"I was 31 years old before I began taking Ritalin. I take a small dose, 10mg in the morning and 10mg early afternoon. I wish I had been prescribed this medicine years ago. I drive a truck for a living but I also do a lot of self study (audio and printed books) and Ritalin has greatly increased my productivity with the latter and safety with the former. I experience VERY few side effects. My mind used to wander quite often, I just thought I had an active imagination, but it was a problem. I have not lost my ability to imagine or abstract yet I have lost of tendency to wander aimlessly into unrelated thought. I have also lost my ability to get lost so often while driving!"


"Zoloft changed my life, however I have been on it for 20 years and it is not working so well anymore."


"I was in a car accident and suffered a 4th rib fracture, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th ribs were also injured and suffered pectus excavatum. The Lidoderm pain patches helped to decrease my pain level from a 10 to a 3. I can not ride in a car with out wearing these patches. I wear one in my subclavian area and two in my 6th and 7th thoracic area  (total of 3). These patches really manage the pain."


"I've been taking Klonopin for about 4 years. I find it to be the best medicine for any problem that makes a person fill scared, nervous, racing heart, racing thoughts any heart pounding conditions. I've had panic disorder and anxiety, and bipolar for a long time. It was a problem in my teens I'm 51 now.  I've tried it all through the years (it feels like it any way}. Klonopin lasts longer than other medicines and no hangovers, no aching muscles. I take when needed. "


"I have had anxiety and panic attacks all my life, stopping me from doing things I love like going to six flags or riding an airplane..or even going out to watch a movie or shop and most importantly work. I just got prescribed Ativan and buspirone, and I've only taken the Ativan last night which helps but took a while to kick in approximately 30 -45 mins."


"I had protected sex and he pulled out with the condom on. Paranoid, I took Plan B (within the 24 time range) anyway because my period tracker app told me I ovulated the next day. I was stressing majorly. The side effects I had included: extreme mood swings, little cramping, and fatigue. My period came one day late and everything is fine. I don't think I needed this, but my advice would be to use a condom every time and also try to go on sometime of birth control. You can get this at any pharmacy for around $50. I suggest keeping at least one of these stocked in your shelve at home if any stores are closed and you have a BC mishap or unprotected sex. Best of luck!"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have taken Pradaxa (150 mg) twice daily for a year. I have had no problems. I wish that there was a way to test this medicine for it's effectiveness."


"Horrible pill that should be discontinued. I've never spotted so much in my life while being on any pill until I got on this one..and not to mention it gave me a period at least every other week. I'd rather stay on the combination pills from now on."


"I have been taking 5mg for three days and will bump up to 10mg soon. So far the only side effects I've noticed are dry mouth and increased appetite, I'm feeling pretty hopeful about this one. I take it at night because it makes me a little sleepy but I also feel a little energized at the same time, it hasn't effected my sleep at all. I sleep wonderfully and wake up feeling good."


"My acne was severe before Accutane. I was at the point where I wouldn't leave the house, I had no social life, it was so horrendous it was emotionally awful and physically painful too, I felt suicidal it was that bad I felt like a monster, tried so many ways to get rid of my acne from the age of 13, nothing worked. It just got worse, turned cystic and then when I turned 21 I decided to take the plunge and go for Accutane, not joking the first 2 months were hell and I felt like giving up, but I carried it on and yeah the side effects like dry skin and lips were bad and I was moody but all I regret is not taking it sooner, my skin is perfect now and glows. I look like a different person, I'd advise this 100%."


"I haven't managed to take Moviprep... Tried five times, swallowed a couple of sips but had to spit the rest out. It smells ok (lemony) and looks like water, but is so salty and has a gloopy thickness to it which is not visible. So I will not be able to have my investigation. I failed!"


"I'm a 16 year old girl, and I've had my Implanon since January 2010.  At first, I really liked it because I didn't get my period again until March. The period that started mid March didn't end until mid April.  I noticed no severe cramps, or mood swings at first.  I then went 3 months WITHOUT a period, with a high sex drive, and feeling really happy.  However, I think I was having mood swings without realizing it. After 3 months of enjoying my Implanon a bad period came, with VERY bad cramps, constant breast tenderness, and as my boyfriend says 'severe jerkiness', that lasted for a month, and it has just ended.  I think I'm back to liking the Implanon. "


"Was diagnosed in 2001 with relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis - never had any major flare ups - took Avonex for 5 years - didn't notice any real difference - went on to Copaxone 5 years ago. What a revelation - major difference is it took my tiredness away. Painful injection and one incidence of 'heart attack that wasn't' worth it for the lack of fatigue.  Can now work full time - walk miles etc."


"This was an effective form of birth control because it completely killed my desire to have sex.  When I did, it was sometimes painful because I could not get sufficiently lubricated or aroused.  It also fell out during sex but not very often.  Otherwise, I experienced no weight gain or hormonal issues."


"So far, Aviane has been very effective. However, I've only completed one month of the pills, and when I got my period I had it for a full week. I'm sure that my body is still adjusting to the pills. Also, I've noticed a few more pimples around the time of my period, and a lot more emotional as well. Other than that its been great!"


"49 years old. Have had high blood pressure for a while now with readings like 175/102-170/100-160-/98 and when I would get stressed even higher than that. At night and at rest sitting in a chair it would come down to almost normal 145/85-150/88 but soon as I was active again it would go high .  Never could get it to straighten out.  Been taking Azor for a week now and out of 15 readings I have done my average is this 129/75. A lot of times sitting watching T.V it will be like 119/66-121/70 really great readings then when I get active I would check it and it would be like this 132/75-134/77 have had hardly any readings over 80 at all and the top number has not been over 140 since I  have been taking Azor. All in all no side effects. Great stuff."


"I'm very happy with this medicine for a few reasons, the first one being that I have not gotten pregnant, the second because I've been on other birth controls that gave me very bad side effects some of which forced me to go to the hospital. Last but not least and definitely not least, it kind of slowed my metabolism down a little and I'm extremely happy with that because I'm very skinny and it was hard for me to put on weight before this medicine but now I'm putting on weight very slowly. I have been taking it for 2 months now and I'm sticking with it."


"I have had chronic allergies and nothing has helped.  It would be normal for me to go through a box of kleenex in a week.  The major frustration with my allergies was my itchy feet and ear canals.  Although xyzal is very expensive (my insurance doesn't cover it) it is worth not having the itchy feet and ears that no one thought about."


"This medication did not help my pain post surgery. My doctor had to change me to Percocet after 2 weeks. I even tried taking 2 at a time, with no relief. It was like there was no effect at all; I did not get drowsy so it did not help me sleep, it did not give me the jitters, or a 'high' feeling. I cannot see how anyone would take these for recreational use or get addicted. They do absolutely nothing."


"I have never taken the time to actually write a comment on these types of things, but this is worthy of it. I had never dealt with anxiety until I became pregnant. I suffered with the worst anxiety and I was MISERABLE. I had panic attacks that sent me to the ER..I was too scared to drive, missed weeks of work and literally did not leave the house. I suffered through it until I had the baby. After, my doctor put me on Lexapro. After a few weeks, I felt 100% better. I can't begin to explain the change I had felt. I was able to do things without thinking the worst of everything. Before I started taking it, it depressed me because I thought I was going to feel that way forever and always have to deal with anxiety. Now, I live a normal life!"


"I don't think this works."


"Is best for when I have moderate or mild pain from pancreatitis."


"i started taking this birth control 4 months ago. I immediately developed acne all over my face, gained 20 pounds over the course of 2 months, suffered from debilitating cramps, and experienced intense mood swings. I do not recommend this birth control for anyone who is estrogen dominant."


"Norco is by far the only pain medicine I have tried and that actually worked for my back, neck and leg pain. For me there are no side effects, it just works. I suffered from depression due to the wide spread pain in my body but the Norco also has helped with that. I've taken it for 4 years and have had times off of the medication and it's tough but only because the pain returns and I become sleep deprived. It really is a miracle."


"Everywhere I read said magnesium citrate would work in as little as 30 min to max 6 hours. I want to share with people that everyone is different so to not get frustrated if that timing is not true. It took 8 hours to kick in for me. I spent 7.5 hrs stressed that it wouldn't work. I even tried to go to sleep.  Then boom! Success."


"Only medicine that works properly."


"Good Stuff, Really clears out that rough nasal problem after a good night out"


"Used this medication to reverse the sexual side effects of MANY different SSRI's including: Paxil, Lexapro and Prozac.  Worked great!  I highly recommend this drug to anyone looking for a light anxiety medicine that works against sexual side effects.

"


"I had been taking Treximet and paying privately as my insurance didn't have it on their formulary and the generic for whatever reason didn't work. After finding out the cost was going to tripple, I saw a headache specialist to find something else and I was given relpax samples... These are wonderful and I now have a prescription for them! I do feel somewhat drowsy for about 12 hours after taking the relpax which I also have to take with one Aleve and as some others have noted, I do find myself needing to pee more often. These side effects are definitely worth it & my insurance covers 4 pills at a time. I wait 4 days then get another refill, paying my copays. I also found the coupon to pay no more then $10 during a refill 1x per month. Yea!!"


"This is almost my second month on this pill. I am 19 so this is the first bc pill I've ever taken. The doctor suggested it because I did have painful cramps that were regular she said that should disappear. However I bled 17 days on the pill the first month. Pretty emotional roller coaster, nauseas. Besides that I haven't had any signs of weight gain or acne, etc. I was terrified at some of the reviews but I haven't became pregnant. Hopefully I will have a lighter cycle sooner or later so the bleeding could stop !! If not will try to switch to a different pill (:"


"I got the Paragard because I was sick of having to pick up my pill prescription and I love the idea of a non-hormonal birth control. I really wanted to get my body back on its natural cycle as I have been on the pill for years. The insertion was PAINFUL, as expected. Would not recommend working that day. But so far I am loving it. I bled for the first 4-5 days, nothing too heavy, and have since stopped. My sex drive has already increased, and I lost 5lbs within a week of being off the pill (added bonus). I have not reached my first period with it yet, so I am expecting more cramps/heavier bleeding, but that's a small price to pay in my opinion. Lots of negative reviews on here, so I wanted to write a positive one!"


"I went through the first week of extended release morphine withdrawal on my own - didn't contact doctor.  Called doctor for second week and he gave clonidine.  After the first pill the symptoms were gone. I wish I had called for help before I tried to go off the medication on my own.  I could have saved myself much grief and pain."


"I've tried a lot of things to help with my back pain.  The latest going to chiropractor for 2 months.  Things just did not get better.  I called my doctor to go with some pain medicines and looked into seeing an orthopedic doctor for steroid shot.  They prescribed this and I have been taking it now for 5 days and my back pain is gone.  It felt much better on day 1 and each day was better and better.  I take one tablet every 12 hours."


"I will always take Ativan for my mild-to-moderate panic. The only problem is, it can become addictive. So I try to use other methods for my anxiety before I reach for the Ativan."


"I have been on Neurontin for several years.  I take it along with Zoloft for bi-polar disorder.  All I can say is that it works for me!"


"Paxil increased anxiety and shakiness and I experienced all of the side effects listed the first week I took it and I was miserable."


"I had skyla inserted almost a month ago. I was having trouble with remembering to take oral bc and it really seemed to alter my mood. I am 29 and have never had children.  I took 1000mg of Tylenol and klonopin prior to the procedure. Truthfully, insertion was painful but quick enough to make it tolerable. The doctor did a great job of letting me know what she was doing and I practiced deep breathing to help myself relax (relaxed muscles = less pain). I had some menstrual like cramps and bleeding for 2-3 days. I was glad I had my insertion on the weekend so that I could relax. 3.5 weeks later I have started cramping and bleeding lightly again - my period is not due for another 6 days so I'm unsure if my cycle has changed or if it's breakthro"


"I want to give my experience to you girls who were in the same situation as me. I had sex with my boyfriend, but we believed that the condom had split so he took me the next day and I got ellaOne. I suffer from anxiety so I was so so worried about if it had worked or not, if I took it right etc. It then came to the day my period was due (11 days after I took the pill) and I had no sign of it. As days went on I still had no period and I was constantly reading on the internet about reviews and pregnancy symptoms, scaring myself! After a week I took a text, negative. And then after 2 I took another and still negative. Finally, after 23 days my period came. I wouldn't worry girls, it will come!!"


"I'm a 54 yo woman with chronic back leg and arm pain due to degenerative disc disease. My whole lumbar is fused.  3 herniated discs in the thoracic  and 5 now in the cervical that need repair. I rely on Norco just to be able to get out of bed sometimes and to do chores like cut the grass. One of the best I've taken, Only thing I've noticed is I don't sleep when I take it. I just rest. I'm now lost as the laws are changing and my surgeon cannot give me scripts due to being post surgical a year. Family Dr doesn't issue narcotics at all, so I ended up at a high priced pain clinic that will only prescribe 5/325 2x a day!
what a joke....... those of us that need it can't get it ."


"I've been on Pristiq for 8 weeks and believe me, I have never felt better in my life. It works, no side effects. I'm a happy person now. The only thing I wouldn't do is to take Pristiq at night time. I take it at 8:00am, so I don't have sleeping problems. Try it this way. This medicine is wonderful. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY."


"I fill better, I can go on with my life."


"I am 25 years old and for the first time in my life I had a severe panic attack so bad that I lost all feelings in my limbs, my breathing was so fast that my lips curled over my teeth and my hands were temporarily and uncontrollably clenched. My husband rushed me to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack and there my pulse was 180 and my BP 170/100. I have never experienced anything so fearful and horrific physically. There they gave me ativan which completely calmed me down. Ever since I am prescribed Lorazepam .5 mg as a PRN and when I feel anxious or agitated and it really amping up I will not even hesitate to take one. I truly believe this drug has helped me get through my days and has 100% worked as a preventative for attacks."


"I am into week 2 of taking Seroquel for Bipolar disorder.  The main side effects that I am noticing are the feeling about 20 minutes after taking it (makes me feel the same way Trazadone did when I took it for insomnia), and the cloudiness the next day.  I have had several situations where something will come up, and I'll recall a conversation or physical activity that I truly think happened, but I cannot determine if I dreamed it or if it really happened.  But, I am already noticing a major difference in the way I feel and am able to concentrate and interact while at work, and even with family (in a good way).  Since it's only been 2 weeks, of course I am going to give it a little more time."


"It worked! My hair is waist length. I did have a friend comb through my hair one time after treatment with an nit comb, but that's it. I used Sklice on my granddaughter who had lice to begin with and gave it to me. I did comb and pick all the nits out, but I never found a live bug after using Sklice. It's been about 2-3 weeks now. Still bug and nit free! Wish I had used this first!!"


"I started Sprintec in September so I'm going on my 3rd month. I have mixed feelings about it. I don't receive bad cramps anymore and my acne doesn't come around when my period is here. I don't like that I get depressed or sad and my last period lasted 17 days and my doctor told me to stop for some days then start again and she told me to not take the placebos. Overall I'd recommend, I'm 16 which means I might be a different candidate."


"Tastes like Tonic Water & Wild Berry Kool-Aid mix! Made the mistake of downing the first batch all at once and as noted felt bloated and slightly nauseous. Worked within 20 minutes and ended 2-1/2 hours later with "muddy" running water. Currently going through 2nd batch. Missed my coffee & waffles this morning and boy does my stomach rumble!"


"I was a very healthy 52 year old female until my first Urticaria attack in June of 2013.  I was taken to the emergency room and treated with IV Benadryl.   I was back in ER with the same symptoms 24 hours later.  Like many of the posts I read here I went through prednisone, cyclosporine, lotions, potions, etc and about 5 prescription anti-histamines a day from June of 2013 to October 2013 trying to get relief.  Nothing worked and I was miserable - not to mention drugged .  I found a very good doctor who introduced Xolaire to me.  I received my first Xolaire injection in October 2013 (prior to FDA approval for CIU) and am still on it Feb 2017.  It's a miracle drug."


"I have been on April for almost 2 years now and I am finally getting off of it next week and starting Ocella.  I lost my sex drive, wanted to eat everything in sight, and was very emotional. No change in breast size, and never had trouble with acne. I dealt with Apri for this long because it helped with my ovarian cysts and kept my periods light and regular.  4 months ago I started eating healthy and working out consistently to lose weight, and yet no successful results. I am so sick of having to eat minimal calories and work out 4+ days a week just to MAINTAIN my weight. I really hope Ocella works!"


"I actually loved the Nuvaring! I did have some side effects such as cramping and breakthrough bleeding, as well as the ring actually sliding out. I know it is unheard of, but I did gain weight on the Nuvaring, nothing major but a good 5 pounds! I used the ring for about three months.  I recently switched to Lutera to see if I like that better. I will post a review on Lutera when I use it longer."


"OH MY! DOES IT BURN!
I had mild discomfort and could feel a YI coming on, so I went out and bought the prefilled Creme applicator! Boy was that a mistake! Once inserted it burned and itched right away! 10x worse then before I used it! Had to shower to try and get it all out! I then had to go out and try the Canesten applicator! It soothed the monistat burn right away!
Wish I would of bought Canesten first! Seems like I could of avoided a lot of pain!"


"Terrible drug.  Give me headaches an restlessness."


"I recently had my paragard removed after approximately 7 years.  I had a few heavy periods but not a big deal.  I understand that some people have more trouble than others.  However, some people also can handle less than others. I had my child at 37 (at this time I was financially and emotionally able to take care of a child without financial support)  It was an easy birth and I was up, showered and fine within a few hours.  I did raise her on my own...Note to women (and men), If you decide to have a child, know that you may be doing it on your own so do not depend on anybody else ( or taxpayers) to pay for or  your child.
I like this form of birth control as it did not require me to remember pills and no way I could "accidentally"  ;) get pregnant"


"This drug Trulicity has been a nightmare for me. Having severe stomach problems, sweating, fatigue, severe muscle tightness in neck, sleep problems, heightened anxiety, poking pains in my toes, all over weird body tingling and bottom of feet. Extreme fatigue and blood sugar is spiking high with a careful diet and meds.. This is NOT something I would recommend to ANYONE. Bad stuff. I was feeling good until I started this med. Been off it now two weeks and STILL having problems. Have to see an internist soon. Do NOT let your doctor prescribe this medicine for you."


"Burns and itches for 30 minutes, this is the first night but everything feels fine now. Just give it some time!"


"I decided to write a review because I wish someone told me this on one. Most people who are unhappy with anything will write a review but the people who are happy don't think to write reviews. Thus, I want to share how I am so happy with my experience. I only just got it in today, but so far so good. It's been about 6 hours & I am having mild cramping. The insertion process was a bit painful, but doable. I recommend taking ibuprofin before. But if you are hesitant because of the bad reviews, then take a minute & realize that everyone is different, & most people don't share the good reviews! I say go for it and see how it works with your body!"


"My breathing is much easier since I started taking Singulair a few weeks ago. But I am getting occasional cramps in my feet and my hands hurt. "


"It seemed to work faster. I liked the way it dissolved on the tongue and did not notice the side effects which we all know that there are some. The down side is that my insurance was paying for six and you only get four in a box. I did not know how to recover my loss. I wish that they would consider diabetics when doing THESE type of study. "


"My experience with Depo has been wonderful! I had horrible cramps and long heavy periods before I started the shot. After about 5 months I stopped having a period at all which was great. No surprises! Also I lost about 13 pounds on it. I was previously on ortho tri cyclin lo-fe. The pills made me gain weight, the weight loss without trying was fabulous. I dont feel tired or achey. The only negative was I have had some acne return, it's nothing that a touch of makeup can't fix... But from having 100% blemish free skin to a few pimples is a little annoying. I will continue to stay on the shot until I decided to start thinking about having kids. Until then, I'll deal with a couple pimples and enjoy my skinny, period free life:)"


"I was put on Tri Lo Marzia for heavy periods.  It has been working wonders for me.  I have had light periods, less aches and pains, and I have had regular periods."


"I thought I'd throw a positive review out there. I've read so many negative ones. I'm 19 years old. I've never had children, so getting it put in wasn't very pleasant, but not terrible. I got the Mirena because I was bleeding for almost a year straight, very heavily. The only negative side-effects I've had so far are bloating, cramps, and moodiness, but they went away after a week or so. I've had no weight gain whatsoever. I've actually lost a few pounds...Yay! My sex drive has actually gone nuts (in a good way), and my periods have stopped! That's the main thing I'm happy about. I was tired of bleeding all the time. I'd recommend the Mirena to anyone."


"Today is day 6 of this medicine and it just isn't working.  I would have thought that I would have some kind of relief by now, but not."


"I have been on Aviane for about three months now since my pharmacy no longer had Alesse. I have been on now four different birth controls. I can say Aviane is my favorite so far. It has cleared up my skin and I have not gained any weight. The only few problems I have had with this medication is nausea and my period seems to come for a day and its gone or sometimes does not show up, I am not pregnant but it has done this for the past three months. I know it is suppose to cause lighter/shorter periods but was not expecting this effect. But other than the random almost not there periods I have nothing to complain about this product. "


"I was prescribed Asacol, Apriso, had 3 sessions of Remicade all with disappointing results. I have been using Lialda for about 21 months. I was in total remission until about 2 weeks ago..so I did really good for nearly a year. Then one hugely stressful incident caused a flare up. I am working with my doctor to get back on track."


"Celexa stopped working and I was put on Effexor. My panic attacks are worse then they have ever been, my depression is totally off the charts and I physically shake all the time. The irritability is by far the worst part for me. I'm forever angry now on this medication. My friends and family have noticed a big difference in my personality. Definitely getting of of this medication!"


"I've had the Paragard for a month now and I absolutely love it! I got it inserted 3 months after having my son and I didn't even feel them put in it. Afterwards I had mild cramping and spotting for a few days, then it went away. I am breastfeeding so I have not gotten a  period yet, but my cycles have always been heavy. I would have a heavier cycle than get pregnant again so soon! Or deal with synthetic hormones! The only complaint I have is the increase of discharge I have constantly. Other than that I love it and would recommend it for any mother."


"Took Trilipix for 2 months caused hair loss, joint pain, muscle aches, and even slowed down body hair growth."


"I've been on it for a few days now in an attempt to get off Zoloft. I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety as a result of PMDD. Today I took a very low dose while tapering off Zoloft and its not pleasurable at all. I'm nauseous, extreme dry mouth and severe anxiety. I work with the public and felt so jittery that I couldn't work. I am willing to tough it out with some support and compassion from my family, friends and co-workers but I don't like feeling like something is controlling my ability to function. I really hope it improves."


"Had it put in right after giving birth first five months while I was exclusively breastfeeding were ok I would get a period that was longer than usual with spotting between then the last 3 months when my baby started solids  and as my hormones changed it became awful I was heavy bleeding for nearly three months straight - blood clots and all. In the end I was so drained from it I had to get it removed"


"On day 5 and same as everyone who's posting, minimal cravings, what I really would like to know is how people feel after they STOP taking this med but it seems people don't bother posting once  they either finally quit or not quit."


"I have my colonoscopy tomorrow - started my prep at 7, got all the medicine down like instructed. Literally 10 minutes after the first liter, I was on the toilet. To be honest, haven't really left yet. Just about to start 2nd liter and wondering how I will do it. I don't see myself honestly getting it all down - but I do know once I start to run "clear" I am quitting. I'm going diarrhea to severe constipation. I can't seem to get my bowels on track and haven't for 2 months now. Only 35, so hoping it's just diet related. Good luck to anyone in my shoes."


"I've been taking it for five years now. I've only had one episode of flushing since starting this medication. I took a Zantac at the same time as the 2000mg Niaspan and I woke up feeling like I was on fire. But I've had no problems since then."


"I was on Sprintec for over 2 years, and I was satisfied with it. I changed over from Yaz after I started having breakthrough bleeding on a regular basis. It stopped the breakthrough bleeding, plus my periods were only about 3-4 days long, with the heavier days being very mild. No cramping. My face would break out a little with my cycle, but it was manageable. I did have some mood fluctuations as well with my cycle.

Of note, when I went to have an IUD placed due to the inability to take my pill on time every day, we did find incidentally during the routine ultrasound to place the IUD that I had a large ovarian cyst. Estrogen is supposed to suppress these cysts, so this might be of interest to someone looking at Sprintec to help with cysts."


"I had the implanon in for the whole 3 years I gained around 50 lbs I had no energy to do anything. I had terrible mood swings I would cry and feel down so much of the time. I didn't get a period the whole time I was on it I had light spotting maybe twice a year for a few days randomly. I got really bad headaches as well. And I ended up with ovarian cysts as well. I did not have a good experience at all."


"LOVE this Levoxyl.  I am 55 and in menopause.  Have had several blood works and told doctors how crappy I felt, no energy in a fog, hair loss all the symptoms of menopause and then some.  I go to Mexico tell a Doc the SAME symptoms and suggested I take this medicine and I would feel better, get out of the fog and frumpy slump I was feeling, have more energy AND MAN after 3 weeks I feel fantastic. I don't even crave sweets or want to eat as much. I have that ZAZAZOO back in me. I feel more alive and sexy.  I am single and I don't want to live my life without having FUN. This medication has brought some life back in ME!"


"I was prescribed Lexapro about a month ago. Initially I was sleepy all the time but I took it at night and now the only side effect is difficulty reaching an orgasm. I love this medicine! I was having several panic attacks a day and since being on 20mg/night I'm back to myself! I'm going to continue. It's like my own "Happy Pill"."


"within the first week i started getting moderate then severe headaches, that nothing helped (tylenol, advil, aleve, aspirin, natural remedies etc) nothing touched them, and my adhd symptoms persisted  so they made my dose higher and the bigger the dose, the bigger the headache, until i couldn't stand it, and i just stopped taking it after 2 months of severe headaches, and they were so bad i couldnt tell if it worked for attention since i was too distracted by my headaches!  so i was getting distracted either way!  then finally after coming off for a month and being put on intuniv later, no more headaches! and i can actually focus

although i don't speak for everyone,  there should really be a warning of severe headaches on the label!!"


"I was on generess FE for almost a year.
PROS: I like the pouch it comes in and the slightly minty taste. I liked that it regulated my period as I am one who sadly suffers from PCOS.
CONS: made me very moody/emotional; increased hair growth around chest and stomach areas; increased appetite and weight gain.

It was my first bcp and I was too scared to switch over to another pill because I figured I rather learn to deal with the mood swings than risk a different bcp with worse side effects. I don't recommend doing that. I think it's good to give a pill a couple of months shot to allow the body to get used to it but after that, if you have really clear negative effects then switch to another."


"For 2 days I took suboxone film (8mg) and the taste a long with the long dissolve time was dissatisfying. So my doctor switched me to zubsolv (5.7) and I could not be happier; the taste is amazing and it dissolves in 3-5 minutes not to mention (a long with a coupon) I received my first prescription for free:)."


"I have chronic pain in my muscles and joints. Diagnosed as unspecified auto immune. Hla-b27 positive. My uncle suffered from anyklosing spondylitis.I have suffered all symptoms except crohns disease and spinal fusion."


"I started the pill after being diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome when I was 18. My doctor put me on Yasmin. I gained a lot of weight and my cup size went from barely C to D/almost DD. I switched to Loestrin 24 FE to make my breast "normal" size again. It worked, and I went back to my normal weight, too. The first month I was spotty and moody; the pill timing is sensitive. But since then, everything has been smooth. I have a light period (only about 3 days) with minor cramps every month which sure beats the inconsistent, week-long ones with heavy bleeding and paralyzing cramps that resulted from PCOS. Overall, after almost 3 years, Loestrin has worked great for me and made my menstrual cycle a breeze. As long as you are consistent, it should work fine."


"The pain completely subsided after about an hour and a half but I'm not sure the side effects were worth it... dizziness, drowsiness, unable to speak, numbness.
Unsure if I would take again."


"Since two years I am using without any side effect. It is recommended by my doctor."


"I saw my doctor after the anxiety I'd been having the last year hit an all time high in the last six months. I would wake up wondering "Why? What am I even here for? what am I working for?" I suffered severe muscle tension in my shoulders and lower back, extreme irritability/mood swings & panic attacks..my heart would be POUNDING as if I'd run a 5k when really I was just lying in bed. It is day two of taking Zoloft...I'm singing (still terribly) to songs again. I feel I have gained the sense of "normal" that my life has always lacked. I am more clear-headed and find rational thinking easier. My depression and anxiety was destroying my relationships. I'm beginning to see this "light at the end of the tunnel" people speak of. 50mg a day."


"Mostly good but my pain would be worse at night when trying to sleep. I would take a dose and due to the 20 minute time to dissolve properly, I sometimes fell asleep with it still in my mouth which over time has done massive damage to my teeth nearby the cheeks in every quadrant of the mouth. The dental work required is in the ten thousand dollar range which I can't hope to afford. As a mid aged man who is divorced, this causes problems with the ladies and I don't blame them."


"I've used this medicine in the past and had no problems. today I bought the miconazole 3 and I used it about 10 minutes ago. At first I had some pretty bad itching and I thought I was having an allergic reaction so I tried to push some out and just deal with the rest. It definitely helps a LOT if you do not itch it. Also if you have a yeast infection do not itch and it will feel 10x better. Now it is still slightly itchy but not unbearable. I think the skin being raw from itching has a lot to do with the burning and itching. they must have changed something, hopefully this makes it more effective."


"I am honestly not sure how to rate this medication but I can relate my experience so far.  I have had no nausea, it does help me sleep better.  I was given the medication for bipolar.  I have been emotionally shut down for a long time and after 3 days it has opened up my emotions and I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.  In February my husband died of an accidental cocaine overdose.  The only emotion I have felt since he died is anger.  Now I feel over whelmed with grief and I am just not sure how to deal with that."


"I wanted to share my experience using retin a as mine was very positive. When I was 30 I was so tired of my adult acne that I've had since my teens so I have had acne for years. I was so sick of feeling bad about my skin so I ordered some retin a in the gel form 0.5% and yes, I purged but that didn't last long. All the red spots and brown spots from sun damage had done a number on my skin. Finally after the second week I could see a true difference. I stuck with using this religiously for 2 years until I could handle my skin alone with peels and Aha's. Now at 37 I have gone back to it for spot treatment of some pimples I get mostly hormonal but now I use it more to keep my skin looking young. its worth it if you stick with it."


"I feel that Percocet does not fully cure the pain but it definitely lowers the pain level on a scale of 1-10, down to 3-4 and it makes my pain livable."


"I was on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for three months prior to this, I switched because I was getting my period every two weeks. So I switched and I'm so glad I did. Period is completely regulated out again like it was before I started birth control. No weight gain (actually weight loss), no mood swings, no change in libido. Worst parts of this were feeling nauseous for the first three days I was on it (nausea went away after), one pimple, and cramps the first day of my period. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons by miles, so I would recommend this to anyone!"


"Had paragard inserted May 2015 six weeks after the birth of my last child. I was breastfeeding so I had no symptoms at all that I had it in place at all until I introduced solid foods to my 6 month old. My period came back very painfully and with a vengeance! From Nov to Feb I have seriously bled every 10 days for 8-10 days in length. I pretty much only have 1 week of no bleeding per month as of right now. My bleeding is so heavy that I am changing my overnight pads every hour for days. Forget tampons! They cause too much pain in my abdomen and lower back . Just tonight as I was in line at CVS buying more pads for my 5th day of heavy flow, a lady pointed out that I had bled through my jeans (so embarrassing) 45 min after changing my pad."


"After hitting an all time low I had to do something. I was very apprehensive about taking this. The listed side effects alone are enough. I have depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. I started taking this medication at night with the 5mg. I will eventually increase to 10mg. So far this has been the best decision of my life. No side effects yet, it's only been a week. The day I 1st started this medicine I was in the worst mood of my life. The night before my husband told me he wanted to separate if I didn't change. Within an hour of taking this I immediately felt better. I hope things continue to go this well."


"Hycodan worked great for the cough, but I ended up with a rebound headache the next morning. It also made me itchy and have strange dreams. Even with all these side effects, it was worth it to have a good nights sleep."


"I started my Stribild therapy in March when my CD4 was 270 and my VL was 80000, and after 3 months I became undetectable!! Just few side effects like nausea but not to much!! I never use other therapy before Stribild and I can't compere it with other meds, so I'm really happy that I'm undetectable and my life is really grate!! Important is continue to do fitness, help your body and your mind!!"


"Worked great for my blood pressure however I had to stop this medicine because of severe and rapid hair loss."


"I am 18 and have been on a daily dose of 25mg of Zoloft for about two months now. Anxiety was literally making my life hell. I cried all the time, had crippling panic attacks, and had terrible derealization/depersonalization. I was hopeless, but afraid of taking medicines. I'm so glad I did anyway... I have only had one side effect, a bigger appetite, and I could feel a huge difference within a few days. It literally gave me my normal life back. I want to share this everywhere to help people like I know I needed help. Talk to your doctor."


"I have used Anafranil on and off for 30 years. Each time it has worked superbly. I stop and then start again about 2 years later, for a period of about 4-6 months. Presently taking 200 mg along with Beta Blockers - the best experience ever: I am happier, more confident and less anxious than ever in my life.  Anafranil side effects are sometimes bad: loss of appetite, sexual dysfunction and blurred vision tend to him me badly. Also can take 2-3 months before they really work. But worth the wait, even though it feels for a while as though it makes you feel worse. Outstanding medicine - a life saver!!"


"I've been on hydrocodone or Norco for about 10 years 3x's a day. I've had S5 and L1 ( I think that is how it goes) maybe the L and the S are in the wrong place. Anyway the two disc at the very bottom of your back. For 2 years as of this past Christmas Eve I was suppose to have the next 2 up replaced. I asked my pain  doctor for 1 more Norco a day. Instead he puts me on Nucynta 50mg. Not working after 1 1/2 years  so now I get put on 150 ER 2x day and 50 mg in between. All I do is hurt like hell and sleep all the time. I have fallen asleep in the bath "


"I love how this medicine cleans me out. But you must know you need to be near a restroom because it works fast. I go everyday now and no heartburn anymore or bloating. Love this medicine."


"Caused me to bleed for 2 weeks a month. When first inserted, I was an emotional wreck for the first few weeks...  Mood changes, no drive. Will have this removed"


"I was prescribed micronor because I get migraines and I can't take combination birth control. I have had ZERO side effects aside from my period stopping, which is ideal (for me). I've been taking it for about a year now while with my long-term partner and we have a lot of unprotected sex and I haven't gotten pregnant."


"Used Champix for 3 weeks. No side effects other than vivid dreams, no issues, have stopped smoking now for over 8 years.
 Wish it was free when I used it."


"I took aftera less than 2hours after birth control failed. Within an hour I experienced severe stomach pain and nausea. For the week that followed I had headaches dizziness at times and lower back pain. My period came exactly one week after taking this, I was advised this isn't was effective when you are over a certain weight. Weighing 235 I didn't have a problem with effectiveness"


"So many of you, like me, reading these reviews have read these over and over. I was in ur position and thought my life was over, I'm a teen who thought I was pregnant. What happened was on Oct 19 me and my boyfriend had sex for only the 2 time, and only my 2 time ever so I was obviously still nervous. Sadly the condom broke, & we didn't notice until after the fact but I think it only broke about 5 min before we stopped. Although he didn't cum and it was only a short time before we stopped, we were both super scared and freaking out bc I'm not on birth control. We could only go as soon as 5 hr later, but I took the pill. only cramps and back pains side effects, but the pill worked!!! I got my period today on time! best day ever! It will work just wait it out!"


"This medication is amazing!!! Worked in 15 mins and my girlfriend thought I was a amazing!   We went at it for 60 mins! I kid you not!  Never had any issues with Stendra in the past 12 months.  Viagra and Cialis gave me way too many bad side effects!  Flushing, nasal congestion and back ache."


"I had been on Quinine sulfate several years ago, for severe leg cramps in both legs and at that time is was a generic medication,  then FDA took all off the market  and allowed it to be brought back as a classified medicine, of course at a very high rate.  But this works!  I was at the breaking point with the pain, now I can still work, walk and sleep a full night without pain. What a wonderful feeling that is.
Thank you."


"2 weeks in I've got the worst breakout I've had in years.  Also nausea and stomach pains.  I prefer Ortho Tri-Lo -- didn't have any of these side effects on that one."


"So I've been on 20mg Fluoxetine for three Weeks, and I never thought I'd ever go a day without binging again/purging. I feel happier, my relationship is so much better. I can go to family BBQs and focus on them and not the plentiful food. Some cons are: delayed or nonexistent orgasm, low libido, yawning. How I look at it is I was much to depressed, hating myself, and bloated from bulimia to want to have sex anyway! At least now I feel much better in my own skin, and I'm so rarely bloated, when before I couldn't remember the last time I wasn't bloated. I was insecure in EVERY situation and in all clothing. I suffered for a long time,and to see how much relief I've gotten from just 20Mg of this tiny pill is a miracle."


"Just started treatment and was put on Atripla. Minimal side effects but my insomnia is overwhelming, I lay in bed for 3 or 4 hours trying to sleep. I have asked my doctor to switch me to something that does not cause sleeplessness as I am feeling ratty with no sleep."
