"I had a terrible reaction to Cartia XT's formulation of Cardizem, when my usual manufacturer, PAR who also makes Cardizem capsules, was not in stock at my pharmacy.
So they substituted Cartia XT's formulation of Cardizem; I began having extreme racing, more than usual AF, and it continued to recur within about an hour after taking it each day.
It was very alarming, because PAR manufacturer of Cardizem never gave me a bad reaction and I had been taking it for years.
Pharmacists who try to tell you that all generics are the same but that is misleading.  the main ingredient prescription drug must be the same as the brand; but the manufacturer can vary the remaining ingredients; and it is very difficult to find out what they are."


"I have suffered from insomnia for many years.  I have been on Remeron for 10 years but decided to wean off this medication.  I began really having problems staying asleep after completely stopping this medication  I was so very hopeful that Silenor would work for me but sadly after trying it for 10 nights, I have not had success.   I carefully took Silenor on an empty stomach and as directed.  I continue to awaken at 2-3 a.m. and cannot return to sleep."


"This helped me talk some and I was enjoying life more, but I was so angry!"


"Ambien worked well for the sleep issues but if you are having any issues or stress in your life you may want to try and find something else. It makes you very agitated at anyone you may come in contact with and may cause depression."


"Sometimes things get out of hand, and before you know it, you're rushing to go grab plan b at the crack of dawn. I was just finishing my menstrual cycle when I took the pill and was feeling a lot of anxiety about having to wait a whole month to see whether it would work or not. Five days after taking plan b I experienced heavy bleeding, much heavier than my actual period. It lasted for about a week... and then nothing. I ended up being a total of ten days late for my period. I know it's easy to freak out BUT DON'T. This pill is used as emergency contraception because it had to go through a series of tests before it could even be put on the shelves. It works. Wishing you all the best of luck!"


"So far it's been a good experience... I've been dealing with skin issues for the past year but it wasn't until this past month when I had my IUD removed that I had a spike in hormones (which you can imagine made my skin go insane.)  My dermatologist prescribed me Duac, Minocycline and Spinoloctane. I have yet to try the two other medications yet because I read reviews that there can be an initial breakout that is horrendous or it can clear up completely in 2 weeks.

However, so far with the Duac my skin has cleared up existing acne but still not preventing new ones from forming. New ones aren't forming as fast as before (2-3) every day but now it's like 1 every 3 days. It's doing a great job. SUPER drying though. Moisturize!"


"I have suffered from acne for about 5 years, and have tried many many over the counter products. NOTHING worked. So I went to my dermatologist and she prescribed me Epiduo, along with some other products. Within 3 days, I could tell a difference in my acne. Then, after a week, my face began burning when I applied the Epiduo, and
peeling. I continued using the Epiduo and the burning and peeling stopped after a week. I've been on it for 3 weeks now and my acne is going away. But let me warn you, DO NOT over use this product. Only use once a day."


"I’ve been on Brintellix for a year now. My anxiety and depression were to the point I couldn't handle even little issues; I worried about everything and I couldn’t stop my brain. I have tried many medications over the years and this by far is the best. My life has changed for the better; I feel calm and am able to handle whatever life throws at me. I only wish it didn’t cost so much, I’d hate to go off the meds but with the price I’m not sure how long I can afford it."


"It seems to have taken the edge off, I'm not "barking" coughing anymore but still wide awake at 4:30am and coughing all night."


"I've been on Ortho Evra since August of 2011, and so far, I really like it.  I'm not using it just for birth control, but also for period control.  Before going on the Patch, my periods would last 10 to 11 days (3 days of heavy to moderate bleeding, then spotting for 7 to 8 days).  Thanks to Ortho Evra, my periods are now only 6 days (3 days of heavy to moderate bleeding, then 3 days of spotting).  That is seriously a miracle for me!  Also, I have less period cramps than before (although my pre-patch period cramps were never really anything to complain about).  Besides this, my breasts have also grown bigger (which my boyfriend loves).  Although, I have experienced some negative side effects too.  My breasts were REALLY tender for the first 2 months, but this has mostly gone away.  Sometimes, on my Patch change days in September and October, I would feel a little bit nauseous or lightheaded, but I think this may have been partially or completely psychological.  Also, sometimes, even when I'm not near my period, I will experience very mild cramping.  But these are all side effects that I can live with.  The only thing I really don't like about this medication is that it lowered my alcohol tolerance and made me more susceptible to hangovers.  But in the end, I'd rather throw up from a hangover than from morning sickness.  Overall, I'd recommend this medication."


"I've been on this pill for 2 months and the acne is horrible! Yes it prevents pregnancy so that part works but this acne sucks! Constant breakouts on my chin. I'm going to switch pills!"


"I have been suffering from acne since I was about 20 years old. I had my first baby and had an iud inserted as a contraceptive. I saw a doctor when I was 24 and she prescribed topical  clindamyacin and bactrim ds. It worked well but not 100 %. I stopped taking it once my mirena was removed and I became pregnant with my 2 nd child. My skin was clear my entire pregnancy! After my 2nd child I had another iud placed and the acne came back. I saw another doctor in December and he prescribed epiduo and oracea and 12 weeks later my skin looks & feels AMAZING. I couldn't be any happier with the results. I still have minor pimples and my acne scars but nothing like before. I am getting compliments from every one who knows me.  AMAZING!!!"


"I had a horrible time with Implanon. Emotional as hell, periods all over the place, appetite gone, libido gone - everything got so much better the moment I removed it."


"This works even better if you get a dose of it in your system before you begin your trip."


"Good overall medicine, started taking instead of Imitrex because of cost."


"I got Nexplanon put in on August 8, 2013. Two months after I had a baby boy. I had my period throughout my pregnancy & this is the first birth control I have ever been on. I have also been breast feeding. I got my first period a week or two after I got it out in & so far I've only had two periods. The first one was heavy & lasted ten days & the second which was in October lasted almost a week & was really light. I have some weight gain, a lot of mood swings, headaches every now & then, & sometimes my arm hurts around the insertion area. Otherwise I enjoy being on it with all of these side effects I greatly recommend it to every new mom."


"Used this for my eczema around my mouth, instant regret as soon as I applied it. Washed it off immediately but it continued to burn for 3 days. It was red in that area for a few days too. In the shower, and every time I breathed outta my nose the heat seemed to ignite the burning. It was torture!"


"I just found out that I have Herpes, so now I have been taking Acyclovir for about 3 days its been working pretty good."


"I was told my dosing of bunavail is equivalent to taking a whole 8mg suboxone I left the office still not feeling well I was told it is effective within 30 minutes it took 50 minutes to be able to stomach food and my headache lightened up a little. About two hours later I all of a sudden felt withdraw again. I thought to myself why is this happening why am I back to feeling worse and couldn't help but question what was happening I did some research. They're lying when they tell you it's equivalent to suboxone they straight up state they give you less bupenorphine so that there's less chances of bupenorphine on the street or less chance of being abused. Doesn't Matter how it's taken. They try tricking u."


"I have stage 4 colon cancer with liver mets.  After 11 treatments of 5 FU and oxalliplatin stopped due to neuropathy.  Some tumors disappeared and others shrunk, but my CEA was not going down.  After a "break" for a few weeks one dominant liver tumor started to grow.  Began new chemo regimen of 5 FU, leucovorin, irinotecan, and erbitux.  My CEA started dropping drastically, my liver tumors shrinking, and the liver inflammation completely gone.  I have 4 more treatments maybe more.  My biggest complaints are dry, rashy skin and some fatigue.  Totally worth the results I'm getting.  My CEA is down to 41!  Hoping for 0 soon! Beware, double check with your insurance, the erbitux is super pricey!"


"Helped clear out a urinary tract infection fast. Still took the medication for a full week. It really did the trick."


"Tamiflu made a miracle for me. It is my second time on Tamiflu (first one was two years ago). Both times I had classic flu symptoms. Felt the onset of great misery. Made hard effort to start taking Tamiflu ASAP - within first 12 hours. My understanding is that the time is crucial to the effectivenes. Both times I was practicaly cured within first 24 hours after. Only some tiredness remained for couple of days. No side effects in my case. I think lot of diarrhea  complains that people attribute to Tamiflu are in fact flu related- so they would have it anyway. Make sure to complete the whole course - otherwise flu can return."


"47 y.o., 6 ft and 282lbs. I sit at a computer all day. Despite hitting the treadmill daily and only eating 1800 calories a day or so, I was still putting on a few pounds a month - every month for a decade. When the 2010s started I was about 215. Its been miserable. Diets just made everything worse. We tried the Mediterranean diet. Nothing helped. Blood pressure sky high. Sleep apnea.  I was slowly dying and I could feel it. Dr. said I could try Contrave. I'd taken wellbutrin before so was skeptical, but why not. That was 10 weeks ago. This morning I was 258. I am eating healthy but normal portions. I'm not on the treadmill all the time. Weight is just slipping off at a steady 2-3 lbs a week. I haven't had the nausea people talk about."


"I have been on Tambacor for 7 years now and in the past 2 years I have been having dizzy spells, almost blackout, panic attacks for no reason, breathing problems out of the blue, eyes are blurring up more and more each year, no energy, weak muscles and not for lack of trying I just can't get them to tone up so I consider myself weak. My tummy gets upset ringing in the ears and the most annoying other than the dizziness is the low blood pressure it just drops so times!  These are all symptoms for this drug. I was in denial for a long time as these side effects were minimal and just became worse . I'm  not on any other drug. I'll have to go off it but what's next??"


"I am seriously concerned, was given Phentermine to lose weight, however on my 3rd week and have lost nothing, the slimming clinic increased my dose to 38mg, what worries me ate the tablets that I have been given, they are white and round with no markings on them at all (looks like a headache tablet), I have googled images of the original and the generic, I am concerned that I am being taken for a ride by the Slimming Clinic in the UK, took the tablets to the pharmacy who could not identify them either due to no markings, has anyone else experienced this?"


"I experienced difficulty keeping up with my normal diet and felt extremely bloated and nauseated. Was not a fan of the diarrhea either."


"I was diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. After a number of years my kidneys failed I was transplanted with my brothers kidney, we were a perfect match. 8 days later a biopsy showed the FSGs present in the new kidney. Within a year all my pre-operation symptoms were back. As a last ditch effort we tried Rituximab and after 5 infusions I began to go into remission I have been symptom free for nearly 3 years. I would highly recommend anyone in a similar situation to try this medicine. I truly feel better than ever, and had zero side effects. The manufacturer has a program where they give it free to folks with Subpar insurance like me. although I did have to come up with a few thousand for the infusions it was well worth it. Good luck."


"I'm on my second Mirena. I had the first one put in after I had my youngest child. Unfortunately, my insurance did not cover it so I had to pay for it out of pocket. Other than the fact that the insertion is a bit uncomfortable (it's a sharp pinch and you may experience some light bleeding for a day or two) and the strings bothered my husband at first (I went back to the office and the ob-gyn trimmed them, and no problems since), I have had no problems at all. No pregnancy worries and virtually no periods at all (once a month I get the menstrual symptoms and maybe a little spotting for a day or two but not the heavy 6-8 day periods that I used to have to endure). I will be getting my third one in about a year."


"Lortab 5/500 is great for Fibromyalgia pain, Migraines headaches, and just about any other type of moderate to severe pain."

"Have been using Rogaine for a period of 4 months and no change was noticed at all! It was prescribed by my GP in Toronto and really had a strong hope to have my hair regrown! Because it is an ineffective product, I stopped using it!  It is such a waste of time and money!! I have no faith in Rogaine anymore!
I recommend you take your time deciding whether to use it or not before buying it."


"I have been on Trinessa for a little over a year, and since I am not pregnant I would say its doing it's job. The cramps that I used to have sent me home sick, and my period lasted 15 days once! However, when I first started on the pill I would get this strange really subtle nausea. Its subtleness almost made me feels worse, but that went away."


"Was prescribed Elavil mainly for chronic headaches. Also suffer from depression, anxiety and insomnia so my neurologist had me start Elavil to try and kill many birds with one stone, so to speak. Elavil worked great to reduce the intensity of my headaches. Although they were still going on it was much more tolerable. I had been on Elavil only one month and a week before I stopped. First week my insomnia and anxiety seemed to be simmering down (This stopped soon after week 2). As for my depression... Elavil put it under a magnifying glass. I was suicidal and crying on a daily basis, it was not the medication for me... It helped with the main objective but at a horrible cost."


"I was prescribed Yasmin by my GP 3 years ago. After 2 months I became depressed and very moody but the acne on my back cleared up. I decided to come off it for my sanity, my moods improved but my acne returned.
7 months ago I decided to give it another go. This time has been fantastic, I'm 31 and my skin has never looked so clear and my hair growth is much faster. I have always been a B - C cup but 7 months on I am a DD. My mood never changed and I just feel great. I wouldn't change from Yasmin now, it's been great for me."


"This has been better than past birth control pills that I have used. I have been on Jolessa for probably 1 1/2 years. I like that you only get 4 periods a year, however I have noticed my sexual drive decrease the longer I have been on it, and my sensitivity to sex has decreased. Other then that I like the pill."


"Oh. My. Gosh. Most painful thing I have experienced in quite some time. I don't often write reviews, but this was a must. I almost instantly felt like my Vagina was on fire and it wasn't until I googled the product reviews that I realized it wasn't just me. I injected the medicine right before bed and laid there in agony for about an hour. I finally fell asleep after convincing myself that it was painful because the medicine was doing work in a shorter time frame. I thought I would wake up pain free and good to go but unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case. The symptoms have lessened slightly, and hopefully they continue to subside and I am in the clear soon, but I don't think I will ever use this medicine again."


"Before I was on Lutera- I was on Lo Loestin FE (which was awful!- I would bleed literally two weeks out of the month, had no sex drive and gained 10 lbs). After switching to Lutera, which I have been on for a month now, my mood swings have been consistent (even though I cried when a dog commercial came on), I have actually lost weight, there is no break through bleeding, and my sex drive is back to normal, AND this is covered a 100% by my insurance. Also, no bad side effects such as acne, stomach pain, or severe discomfort in any form. The only thing is my boobs swell up a little bit, but no complaints there.  This is such a great pill! I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to start a new BC or wanting to switch."


"Helps but I have to take it every 4 hours only .125mg to see any effect"


"The only ADHD medication I have taken that doesn't have awful side effects. It makes you more alert and productive with out the headaches and and hungover feeling that I get with adderall and focalin. I don't think it effects everyone the same but it has been a real lifesaver for me."


"I have been taking 30mg for over 90 days now. Due to other medications I was taking for lung cancer and COPD I was lucky to get 2 hrs sleep per night. The first couple of nights was wondering why I taking it. The 3rd night slept like a baby and have ever since. The increased food intake was great for me. I had started losing weight. Have not gained any but able to hold what I had. Works great for me."


"I would cough like I was having asthma attacks but come to find out after taking everything there is on the plant for lung disease. This pill stopped it all I had acid and it caused the rest of stop. But I have flare ups now and then still."


"Starting my 4th pen, no side effects so far."


"Made me feel emotionless and numb... Got constipated pooping pellets. Barely peeing ..dehydrated.. Sudden pimples  the kind that won't go away.. Missed period for someone whose never missed a period .. Weight gain.. Stubborn weight. I'm all ugly now.. Possible uti culprit
Stopped taking it without doctors support fucking psychiatrist is stupid... and all my problems disappeared and I'm much happier.. Would reccomended people not take it .. Cons outweigh the pros for me."


"I have not had good luck with this medicine. The side effects were horrible at first but they did settle down and mostly disappeared after 4 or 5 months on the medication. If you're just starting it, give it some time and the side effects will go away, but for me it never helped lessen or decrease my migraines so now my doc has given me Amitriptyline to try so I'm hoping I have better luck with this one!!"


"I first tried Patanol last year. I had been crying a lot one day and my eyes felt incredibly dry and irritated afterwards. My roommate, a nurse, gave me a new bottle of Patanol (she had just been switched to another rx instead) to help my burning eyes. I had never experienced such immediate, profound relief with any OTC dry eye drops, gels, etc. for my dry eye symptoms! Now I have my own Rx, and it still works wonders for my bad dry eyes."


"I am going to turn 70 yrs old in March , I have had HSV for 42 yrs. I take the 500mg dose as soon as I know its going to start up and if I neglect taking it for whatever reason it flares up , one of the things that I noticed that is sure to get it going is Sun bathing . I have become a vegan and live a very healthy life style which really helps the immune system."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I'm usually very regular so when I started experiencing stomach discomfort- bloating, constipation, lots of gas I headed straight to my doctor. I did indeed have H Pylori and was given the PrevPac 14 day treatment. After reading what seemed like pages of negative reviews and side effects, I was hesitant to start the regimen and made a deal with myself that if it didn't work out for me I'd go toward a more holistic route.

I'm on Day 13 and overall I had a positive experience. The first few days I was fatigued and that eventually went away. I did get a bad taste in my mouth after an hour of taking the medicine. I'm regular again and feel much better. I also took probiotics and cut out sugar, dairy and gluten which I think helped as well."


"I only experienced some slight nausea and abdominal pain that was worse when taking the medicine on an empty stomach."


"I've been taking Xarelto for 5 months for a blood clot brain . I've felt a range of side effects including : dizziness/vertigo, headaches, photosensitivity, lesions on my nose, ear and tongue, sinusitis, nausea, diarrhea, HEAVY menstrual bleeding, and general aches/fatigue. Basically, any kind of infection I get is much worse than it would be normally. I haven't had any major bleeding events, but my periods have been debilitatingly heavy.
As far as effectiveness, it has worked for me and I have not developed any further clotting, which is the most important thing. Not sure if other blood thinners are as effective and have less severe side effects, but if they are, it probably would've been worth the extra trips to the doc for me."


"I was on the Kireva birth control pill 3 years ago for 2 years straight and experienced no problems. I recently decided to go back on the pill but was suggested Monessa by my doctor. The first week I was on the pill I thought I was experiencing early pregnancy symptoms. Unbearable stomach/pelvic cramping to the point where I couldn't even sit up straight, headaches, complete loss of energy, crazy mood swings, loss of appetite/being disgusted by foods I normally love, and terrible nausea at all hours of the day, and very painful breast tenderness starting at the beginning of the 2nd week. I can't wait to get off of this. Ugh! 0/10"


"There are alternate drugs listed by brand names and a generic name.  There are no generic anti-hemophilia recombinant clotting factor products.  The brand names are not similar drugs."


"The breakthrough bleeding started a few days after I started taking it. Each day it gets worse.  It is now day 30, I think this will be my last pack.  I'd rather have a heavy period for 3 days, and light bleeding for 5 more. At least I get at least a 10 day break before periods."


"I got my first shot in August this year 2016 because my boyfriend from US will come and we don't want to get pregnant. At first it was awesome I feel better no heavy menstrual period, crampings and headache..But after 3 weeks from the shot  I  started to experience spottings, and it never stop...It is really uncomfortable wearing the whole time  bunch of panty liners..And of course when in sexual intercourse it was very messy and we need to used newspaper to cover our bed before sex..Having sex with spotting is not good...So I will not get another shot had to stop this..Never do it again it's scary when you had blood or spotting continuesly.My boyfriend told to get  checked and must see a doctor right away.."


"Ever since I began to play field hockey then basketball my acne got bad. No over counter things would work anymore. So I got Aczone & I saw improvement in three days. This works like magic. Highly suggest."


"I have been taking 14mg Prazosin per day (one/2mg tablet spread out throughout the day taking it 3tabs   3tabs   2tabs of Prazosin and 1 x 5mg Flomax) with a great deal of success with urgency/dribble factor and waking up (rarely). Due to taking my last 2 tablets at bedtime (= 4 mg Prazosin) I usually have a slow urination and within the first hour of taking my one Flomax and 3 Prazosin (=6 mg), I am great for the whole 16 /- hours of the day."


"I have tried several medicines for my benign prostatic hyperplasia problem. Either the results or the side effects have been unsatisfactory. My urologist decided to try Cialis 5mg. After hassling with my insurance company and paying a larger than average co-pay, I got the prescription. I have had far fewer problems emptying my bladder. The side effects have been incredible. Instead of having sex 2-3 times per week, my wife and I have shared long, intense daily sessions. I have to admit, I didn't have classic erectile dysfunction.  I was probably normal for a 62 year old guy.  "


"I took only two days at 0.6 and by the second day I was totally confused, weak, nauseous, acid reflux, ears ringing, circulation issues, the works, etc. It really curbed my appetite, but I literally caved under the side effects. I stopped for two weeks and started again this week at two clicks, which is about 0.1. The side effects are still there, but more bearable, however my appetite is not fully curbed, only a bit at lunch time, and not really at night. I will increase the dose slowly to curb appetite more, despite the remaining side-effects. I really hope to lose weight, gained in a year because my adrenals/ hormones gave me huge cravings at night because of deep fatigue. Its worth it to stop and try again at a different dose."


"It works great."


"I was on Yaz for 6 months. I went from having severe back acne and moderate face acne to........almost NO ACNE!! For the first time in my teen years (Im 17), i am not embarrased about my face, and i can wear a bathing suite without being embarrassed about severe back acne. I have a relatively light period that lasts for 7 days, but only 3 or 4 of those days are real flow. I can predict my coming period down to the hour. The ONLY bad thing is that I GAINED 10 POUNDS and I can't get it off. Some people lose weight on this birth control, and some gain. It's hard to tell how you will react. Try the pill and see if it works for you. I am taking a break to see if the weight comes off."


"I have lost 10Kg my first month and I still have 20Kg to go. I know that I wouldn't be able to loose the weight without Saxenda.  My only concern is that I feel something in my stomach and I don't know what it is.  I think it is hunger but try to avoid it and drink fluids.  I know eating or drinking to much will make me sick. I have vomited a couple of times now so I take it really easy.  Just wish the constant stomach feeling would go away. I recommend this to anyone who needs a jump-start or nothing seems to work for them."


"I managed to pull a muscle in my back during a particularly long binge. Was prescribed Baclofen for the muscle spasm/to help healing, but its major benefit was in the control of the shakes and sweats I normally get when I sober up at the end of a binge. I could barely write my name on the doctor's form before taking this, afterwards the shakes and sweats were almost totally gone. I took one more 10mg pill before bed and slept soundly for 10 hours straight (normally I get persecution dreams and wake with leg/arm kicks, or just lie there in a pool of sweat).

This ought to be prescribed for alcohol withdrawal as a matter of course. (I took 2 10mg tables about 4 hours apart, the last one just prior to going to bed)."


"I took one last night,  only worked a little,  took one more today,  hope it works by morning without bad side affects.  I used to take 2 laxatives at once but experienced faintness,  nausea & severe hot flashes. So I only will one and not repeat dose for at least 12 hours."


"I just wanted to say that for the past 7 years I have been addicted to oxy's and morphine and a lot of it. I started taking Suboxone 4 months ago after long deliberation. I also didn't believe that I could come off the drugs and not experience the withdrawal we all have come to know and hate so much but I did give it a chance and it has been the  best decision that I've made for myself in a very long time. I would recommend this medicine to anyone and everyone who suffers from opiate addiction but wishes to have their life back."


"For everyone who has experienced negative results from taking Belsomra  & from a well-experienced insomniac, I was advised by a very knowledgable pharmacist that in order for Belsomra to work properly & effectively (after having taken Ambien for many years), I was to stop taking Ambien & let it completely wash out of my system for 3-4 days before starting Belsomra.  She stated, that this medication, unlike Ambien, is not supposed to assist you in falling asleep, as so much as it works to help you stay asleep, however, it won't work as it should, if I don't have a break between medications. After reading all of the comments about Belsomra not working for so many people, I'm definitely intend on following the Pharmacists instructions to the letter."


"Nothing bad I can say other than your first couple treatments, you'll feel the itch and burn. Life changing medicine!!! Thank you hypercare."


"Fantastic. I slept like a baby and woke up clear as day. This is by far the best sleep aid I've ever used."


"I was prescribed Zoloft 50mg about a year ago after giving birth to my daughter very prematurely. I did notice that during the most difficult times, I was actually very calm and could make rational decisions. Why did I stop taking it? I have no idea. Recently, I've had horrible panic attacks that have landed me in the hospital, made me call out of work, and pretty much incapacitated me. I didn't want to go back on medication, but prayer, exercise, and talking just wasn't getting it. I finally went to my doctor and he put me back on Zoloft 50mg. Right now I'm just taking 50mg once a day, but next week I start taking them twice a day. I'm also on 0.5 mg Klonopin. Already, I have began to feel a little better. Hoping it continues."


"Works great for motion sickness.  Much more effective than Dramamine or even Bonine, which was my OTC medicine of choice until I foung Transderm-Scop. I was in huge seas in the N. Pacific fishing and never felt a thing and felt 100% motion sickness proof.  It does have some minor side effects for me like dry mouth and tiredness but you'll need to take a nap after getting back to port.  All in all good though, much better than the horrible blood pressure meds that made me dizzy all the time."


"Imitrex pills worked for me for a few years but then it stopped being as effective and I had to take 2...  Then that stopped working so I tried Imitrex statdose (the injections) and they work wonders.  They hurt a lot but the pain in my leg after I give it to myself is far less horrible than the migraine pain!  I give myself the shot and lie down for about 15 minutes and I'm fine!  Maybe a little pain but I feel much better!  I'm also on Timolol, Neurontin, and Cymbalta and my migraines have reduced in number and then this helps when I get them.  And the shot works after you've had the migraine for a while - you don't have to take it at the first sign to get relief."


"I lost 3 years of my life on this medication. My blood pressure was controlled but I had chest pain, I could not think properly, I could not sleep, I had severe fatigue, I could not function. My wife thought I was just lazy. Lucky I found someone else on the internet with similar symptoms and persuaded the doctor to change medications. After going on Karvea I got my life back. I hope this can help someone else who is suffering on Micardis."


"The doctor just put me on this medication for my high anxiety. I was taking Xanex 1mg and switched me to this, its been 2 days taking it at a 7.5 mg and I'm really not noticing any relief at all."


"I  use  the  niacin  regularly. My  numbers  show  a  slow  moderation, my  doctor  is  pleased. I use not at night, it  disturbed  my sleep. Thanks."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"The taste is awful!  It is gentle and effective at the expense of tasting just like the stuff it eliminates"


"So I've tried monistat before and like a lot of other people are saying, my vagina was on FIRE. It was the worst pain I have ever felt. I sat in my bath tub and bawled my eyes out for about an hour and swore I'd never use it again. BUT it did work. Also, the first time I used it I was up and walking around and I felt the ovule come out of me. That's when the burning went CRAZY. So, I got another yeast infection and I went ahead and got Monistat again. This time I took it right before bed as it says to and I had NO itching or burning whatsoever. Not sure if this is helpful but maybe try not getting up and walking around much."


"Didnt work no change n mood"


"I have been taking Lortab and Percocet for about a year now due to my endometriosis and ovarian cysts. It definitely helps to relieve the pain and anxiety. The down fall to it is the horrible feeling of withdrawal."


"My daughter used a generic form of isotretinoin.  The results were amazing.  It cleared her pimples and blackheads.  She did not clear up immediately; in fact, her skin broke out more at first.  However, she has been off the medicine for a few months and she rarely gets a pimple."


"Its a great contraceptive, I cant possibly get pregnant Why? Because I've had my period for 6 weeks!This is seriously the worst thing I've ever had."


"Don't let the online reviews cheat you out of a better life! I actually delayed getting Lupron by a year because I was so scared by the online reviews and reports of adverse reactions/symptoms. However, my experience was wonderful. My doctor put me on the ad-back and I did have a FEW hot flashes initially, but I would take those 1,000x over the pain my endometriosis caused me. I also took calcium to offset any bone density loss.
Please, Please, Please work with your doctor to decide if Lupron is right for YOU.
I did it and now I am on my way to restoring my quality of life."


"This medication , for me , did not work at all.

I took I think it was 2 pills a day and it didn't do anything at all except make me sick."


"I would occasionally get migraines (started at age 16) now I am 28. After a car accident two years ago, I get them much more frequently. I tried Treximet after being desperate for something on day three of the worst migraine of my life. Treximet KILLED my migraine within 15 mins. It made me sleepy and made my limbs feel very heavy but it got rid of the migraine. I only take Treximet every other month, and unlike some, I have to wait to take it until my migraine is full blown, or else it makes me feel worse."


"The implanon has been great for me. I've had it for an year now and I love it all the way. In the beginning it was adjusting, now I am completely comfortable with it. I still have a period but very few of them and they are light. Its convenient and its not even noticeable. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am still on birth control. The Implanon helps put me in control of my future."


"I had Mirena inserted 9 months ago, and it has been the worst experience. This IUD will exacerbate stress, and I have periods for 10  days every month! I also noticed others were mentioning pain during intercourse and lack of libido: Totally!!!!!!! It is awful! I have no desire or energy, and when we do, I have pain in my lower abdomen in certain positions. As for acne, it has increased! I haven't experienced any issues with weight, although I haven't been actively trying to lose, and I have a fast metabolism. I have spoken to others who are taking it, and 1/8 people I spoken to kept it in after a year. They also mentioned panic attacks, severe depression, and lack of energy... "mood changes" don't take if u already have anxiety issues!"


"I was given clindamycin for bacterial vaginosis while pregnant.  I had been on it once years before for something else and it made me vomit once and mildly uncomfortable the rest of the time.  This time it has caused throat and chest pain and tightening, rash, horrible heartburn, and more.  Doctor won't give me anything else, but I am beginning to think the BV is of less risk to baby than this is.  Never again"


"works great the only thing is it makes me sleepy so if I was working or driving it would not bearable to do it...."


"I had rods put in my back about 7 years ago due to DDD. My doctor put me on several different narcotics but none seemed to work.  Went to my regular doctor and she prescribed me tramadol HCL (Ultram) 50 mg just one day on it the pain really just went away and my mood changed for the better. Great pain reliever and improves your mood.I take 50 mg every 6 hours."


"Switching from 2mg suboxone to belbuca. I started on 150 mcg 2x day n holy moly. It's definitely not enough to feel okay. I called my doc. Which is the best doc I have ever had and told him. This isn't enough. He said. Take more stupid. Until it works and we will talk about it on Monday. So I figured out. It takes a few days but u should be able to stabilize belbuca if taking 2mg of suboxone. You will have some discomfort for a day or so, but it gets better fairly quick. Good luck.
I wrote this because I couldn't find any info online about switching from suboxone to belbuca. That is especially to get away from the stigma of the addiction part of sub when you really take it for pain.
Good luck to you all"


"Getting Skyla put in felt like the worst pain of my life. The insertion is beyond painful. When my gyno told me to cough I did, but then I screamed and started crying because the pain was excruciating (I'm assuming like childbirth). Then the cramping afterward was so bad my boyfriend had to carry me out the door. I got the IUD because my period cramps were so bad I couldn't stand. Since insertion I've had no cramps! My cramps are gone, my periods are regular, and I have no problems. I am however dreading 3 months when I have to get it replaced! But I would do it all over again because it's the best option in the long term."


"When I was originally put on this statin it was on a low dose of 10 mg a day to reduce cholesterol. I had or recall very few side effects. I combined the drug with exercise and diet. My cholesterol was lowered and remained low.  Doctors have kept me on the drug and now at the age of 71 I now experience headaches a bloated rumbling and very uncomfortable digestive system, hives, muscle aches and  other adverse effects that now interfere with my diet and exercise. Doctors seem to be reluctant to lower doses but these adverse effects now materially are affecting my quality of life."


"It's my 5th year on Implanon, so on 2nd dose. I have irregular periods that can last up to a month or not appear for up to two months at all. I never know if I'll have any pain coming with them, from time to time I do. During this 5 years my dress size changed from 10 down to 8 and then from 8 up to 12 in only 1 year, around 2.5 stone in weight. All despite regular workouts and veggie diet. I also have mood swings, sex drive mostly off. For the last 2 years my face and back are like teenager's with constant acne like breakouts but, I have to say the security it gave was worth it all. I could not take pills and wouldn't rely on condoms. At this stage I can't wait to get it out, though I would consider having this again after kids."


"I had been using Nuvaring for just about a year when I decided to call it quits. The first few months were great. I loved the convenience of it, and my boyfriend could not feel it. I also never had a problem with it slipping out. After 3-4 months, I started getting intense cramps, bloating, and breast sensitivity for about a week before my period that lasted until I popped the next one back in. Meanwhile, I was getting crankier and moodier and the smallest things would make me cry. I started breaking out on my face (which NEVER happened before) and I gained about 10-15 lbs (not that I was doing anything differently that would cause this). After about 6 months, I started losing my sex drive and when I did have sex, it would be painful."


"Loved this birth control. Didn't have mood swings or gain weight. Also didn't have a period except for an exceptionally light one every 4 months or so, which was great in my opinion. Only reason I had to stop was because my stupid work switched insurance companies and the new one didn't cover this."


"This stuff is HORRIBLE. Made me very irritated/jumpy/even more anxious. Felt like my mind was racing...felt even more overwhelmed. This is the worst stuff I've been on yet..I had to stop taking it because I couldn't even function right.  This stuff is really, really bad.. doc put me on Lexapro today hopefully that helps!!"


"This shot has caused numbing of my writing arm, I am chronically fatigued. All I want to do is sleep. My appetite is enraged and I am having to be very careful about what I eat as I have already gained six pounds; I am worried that the fatigue is permanent as other women I have come across have permanent chronic fatigue. "


"I would rather deal with my heavy periods, pads the size of mattresses and pms than subject myself to another day of this garbage pill. I've been on for a month, in that month I have been sick every couple days with dizziness, nausea and diarrhea. At first, I thought maybe i was lactose intolerant from the creamer in my morning coffee but nope, it's this garbage. My gyno said maybe I caught something. For a month?!?!?!? Finding another pill and gyno. Beware ladies."


"I have severe  constant pain all over from rheumatoid arthritis which has me so crippled in my back, hands, fingers, shoulders, hips, ankles and knees. I am unable to walk and use a walker.  I also have fibromyalgia which causes much pain and mental confusion  sometimes.  My Rheumatologist started me on 10 mg of Lexipro at first two years ago . I felt a bit drowsy for a couple of weeks until my body got used to the medicine.   About four months ago had a hip replacement  and a nightmare arthritis flare up.  The flare up has not subsided yet , so my doctor increased the Lexapro to 20mg each morning and 20 mg each night.  I take it about 8 pm  a little before bed time.
I haven't noticed any additional side effects .  This drug helps me."


"I've taken it for a week now and have very weird nightmares. Plus I wake up in the middle of the night or very early and can't get to sleep. It doesn't really help with falling asleep I've found. I'm not sure what it's done honestly."


"Been on Suboxone for 4 yrs now! It's been the best thing I've ever done for myself! Thank-You"


"It causes me to shake constantly and gives me a feeling like I'm about to vomit for hours. It also keeps me awake all night."


"I wish there was a way to rate this with a ZERO. I've had non stop heavy bleeding for 8 months. I already only weighed 115 and now I weigh 103 I'm tired all the time. Let's not mention the MIGRAINES from this thing, the mood swings, it's horrible and has convinced me to never get on any other birth control other then the pill. I HATE IT. IF YOUR THINKING ABOUT DOING IT PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T DO IT"


"I hurt my knee and was given this for pain. Gives me a headache and doesn't real curb the pain."


"I stopped after only taking 2 pills.  I developed a slight problem breathing and a rash across my neck and shoulders. Also, I now have unbearable gas pains after taking 2 of these pills a week ago.  I am glad that I was only given 4 pills by the pharmacist as they were out so I wasn't charged."


"I've been taking this shot since October. I've been bleeding non stop since December. It went from a 2 weeks period, to a 2 month period. I've taken Meds to help & nothing! This horrible. It's like I'm on the shot for no reason."


"I have suffered from migraines for as long as I can remember. Tried everything then my Dr. Gave me Fioricet and I love it gets rid of migraines when I'm out I will use Ibuprofen as I AM a recovering Addict and don't want to rely solely on this medicine to get rid of headaches. No more ER visits for this chick!"


"Had my thyroid removed at age 9 (cancer) 38 yrs ago. Been on Synthroid ever since then. My dosage has changed over the years. I am now on 150 mg (blue tablets) I have been getting a all over skin rash and itching for the last 4 months.  After numerous tests my doctor told me it may be the dye in the blue 150 mg tablets.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  I just switched today to take the 50 mg (white tablets with no dye) three times a day. I am hoping this was the problem."


"I take amitriptyline for chronic pain and insomnia.  I have suffered with insomnia for most of my life and nothing seemed to work.  I also had 3 level cervical-spinal fusion/ chronic pain/major trochanter bursitis. I recently moved to a new state and found a life saver in my new doctor.  Along with my normal pain management (Morphine/vicodin/muscle relaxer) he suggested Elavil.  I was weary at first, but thought why not.  Because of my high tolerance to medicines, he started me out at 50mg.  After 1 week, I was AMAZED. I slept through the night and my pain seemed to subside to tolerable.  After a few dosage adjustments, I am now on 100mg and with the exception of weight gain, I am so very happy."


"I have been on Wellbutrin XL now for almost 7 years and I love it. Before starting Wellbutrin with the other medications I felt tired, could hardly function and could not think clearly, it was so bad I was ready to quit all the meds and just live my life depressed, I mean after all I was sleeping my life away anyway so it didn't matter. So I told my psychiatrist and she put me on Wellbutrin XL it took about 3 weeks to start noticing a big improvement I felt energetic I wanted to do things again my mood has been really good I could concentrate it helped me tremendously in my job and I was able to start living life to the fullest and be that fun loving, energetic person I want to be. I highly recommend this medicine."


"For the severe level of anxiety that I had developed Xanax would help. It would calm my body within a few minutes. However, after about 3-4 hours, my body would be back feeling nervous and tense again. It works very good, except its effects don't last long. I was also prescribed Klonopin to try after I told my doctor that I was having problems sleeping and that the effects from Xanax were not long lasting enough. I am prescribed to take 1 mg twice a day. With Klonopin, I am able to feel relaxed for longer periods of time than with Xanax. It has helped to keep my body more tranquil. It has helped with my sleeping better than Ambien ever did. And, I haven't experienced any bad side effects from it either."


"I have not experienced side effects with Elavil and it has really helped to keep my Inerstitial Cystitis in check.  I am so thankful for it."


"I had this placed like 3 yrs ago,went on the 2/18 to get it removed and get a new one. BAD BAD  BAD EXPERIENCE. The first time no complaints, but this time...OH no. Got an infection and my arm became swollen and I had to get it back out.  Worst 2 weeks ever with this implant.  I do NOT recommend anyone getting this done. Here is 2/29 and my arm still hurts from all of this. "


"1st week: Paxil worked for my depression and anxiety instantly which is out of the norm. I was nauseous all the time and experienced yawning quite frequently, this went away as time went on. Paxil had an almost euphoric feel for me, I was laughing at everything and enjoying life.

1st month: Yawning still exists, euphoria has worn off as well as any anti-depressant effect. However still for works for anxiety.

3rd month and beyond: Outside of excessive sleeping and somewhat fatigue feeling Paxil is awesome for anxiety, but the antidepressant effect wore off rather quickly for me.

Recommend for anxiety, not recommended for depression. "


"I have been on this for one week! No side effects at all. I used to have horrible headaches daily and this bc has gotten rid of them! Was very nervous to start a hormonal pill because I am prone to nausea and headaches. I don't have one thing to say bad about this pill."


"Very happy with this new medicine. Seems to control my blood sugar better than other medications. I also take 2000mg of Glucophage a day and 100mg of the Invokana. After the first month, the maintenance dosage is 300mg once a day. Been on this medication for 3 weeks now. I have already lost 5 pounds! Urination is more frequent during the day though. Make sure you drink lots of fluids to prevent dehydration. I did notice some acne to show up on my face. Not sure if this is a side effect or not? Other than that, this is a miracle! Controlled blood sugars and weight loss! The first year is only $5.00 a month with the prescription card the Manufacturer gives you."


"I experienced dry mouth and a lack of taste.  Foods had no taste and I found myself adding lots of salt."


"I've taken both ambien and ambien CR. it caused interesting side effects from day one. I found that whatever was on my mind before taking the meds (I.e. I had to do laundry/clean the house the next day or go to a sale) I'd end up getting up and doing them that night before falling asleep and not even remember it the next day!! I would vacuum at 2am, cook whole meals, get in my car to go to a tech store sale and come home with 100 movies (some 2 or 3 copies!)! My husband didn't mind the extra wild sex! It would have been nice if I would have remembered it too! The last straw for me was when a close family member passed away, I couldn't get rest so I took one to help. A month later, I found I had an accident I didn't remember! Be careful!"


"I was placed on a 30-day course of Rocephin via I.V. infusion (PICC line) by my infectious diseases doctor to handle a persistent, recurring and resistant strain of E coli that had caused a very serious intestinal infection.  The infection caused perforation and led to an emergency ileocecectomy, partial colectomy and resection of my sigmoid colon.

Taking the Rocephin was easy - it came in small pre-pressurized "bulbs" that I attached to the PICC line once a day and then carried around with me in a pocket for 30-40 minutes while it administered the proper dosage.

Rocephin worked wonderfully for me, with zero side effects. My white blood cell count fell back to normal levels within a week of starting the treatment, and I have been infection-free now for more than 90 days."


"This medication actually works!! After trying too many topicals to count, tazorac is definitely the best. For those starting tazorac reading this review right now, I know how much it sucks in the beginning. The initial breakout can be so horrible- trust me, I've been there. I've cried and not wanted to go out in public but in the long run- I promise it's worth it. Give it about 3 months to officially work and you'll be grateful."


"I took the free 2 week period and started on 3/21/17 at 283.  I switched over to the 7.5 and now weigh 279 (4 lb total weight loss in 4 weeks).  My RX is $144.   I never had much of an appetite to start out with and now with Qsymia, I have even less.  If it wasn't for my boyfriend reminding me it is breakfast, lunch or dinner, I believe I would forget to eat (which I know it is not good).  I have a desk job and have always had walking in my daily routine.  I have not changed that routine as of yet.  I hope to see significant results in the next few months.  The only side affects I experienced is the craving for water and restless nights (although I never slept well to begin with).  Keep you all posted."


"I've yet to find a sleep aid that works as well as quetiapine. I've begged my Dr for 5 years to help me sleep and we've tried many other prescriptions. Others had bad side effects or didn't work. Enter seroquel, and hallelujah. It not only works, but it has no bad side effects for me. I did have to go from 25 to 50 mg per day but I sleep like a baby. No grogginess in the morning, no weight gain, no bad things period. I've been taking it for 14 months. If I don't have it, there's no withdrawal, but I don't sleep as well. I think it also is a nice adjunct to the Zoloft I take for depression and anxiety (100 mg). Overall it's the drug I'm most thankful for."


"Have been using Lantus for 3 weeks. Injecting 15-20 units per day and have not experienced a substantial reduction in glucose readings. Am upping dose to 24 units/day. Also have been taking 2.5g of Metformin with insulin shots. When my glucose goes above 300, I need to take 4mg of Glimepiride to knock it down. "


"I took Lamisil for about 6 weeks. My toenails started looking better right away. I could see the new clear nail pretty quick. I started having bad heartburn and stomach pains. Everything starting smelling and tasting the same and terrible. I lost 10 pounds and could barely keep food down for 3 weeks. It has been about 6 weeks since I stopped taking it and I am still having loss of taste and stomach acid problems. Liver tests came out normal. I have never been allergic to a medicine but unfortunately I was in the 1% of people that got the side effects from this medicine."


"Dr prescribed this to stop the coughing so I could get some sleep.  Doesn't work. Coughing actually seems worse, if that's even possible."


"This did cause slow heart rate and palpitations"


"I can say, Buspar (Buspirone) has helped me.  I am also on 40 mg Citalopram once day and 5 mg Buspar twice daily.
 I have experienced way less anxiety, able to enjoy life better."


"Only posting to provide a positive experience with skyla. I'm 24 and had skyla inserted about 8 months ago. Insertion was definitely uncomfortable/painful (I was NOT on my period and they say that helps) but it was very quick and you'll get through it. I drove myself home and had the WORST cramps I've ever experienced just for a day or so. Heating pads and midol were my best friends. I spotted a little bit right after it was inserted and that was it! No more spotting, and then 2 weeks later I got my period like normal. I NEVER went through the weeks and months of spotting like some other girls did. My period has been like clockwork the past 8 months, and are light and last about 4 days, with little to no cramping at all. never been happier!"


"Before this pill I had 140/90, doctor suggested to take 5 mg of this drug, took first day at night...  no changes,  next morning I was 170/103 (never experience high before), felt so miserable, migraines, lightheaded, I thought I was dying, dizziness, I even threw up for the first time in my life... called my doctor and he prescribed metoprolol, it worked way better... I am now exercising and losing weight to get rid of these drugs soon."


"Usage has changed my life for the better 100%. If dosage is correct there is no "HIGH" at all. I have been dosed with methadone daily for 10 years and haven't relapsed or for that matter even thought about going back to that lifestyle. GOOD LUCK WITH THE MEDICATION. "


"Though not great in controlling my sugar levels, but, there is definitely an improvement in the level with this drug. The best part is that I feel great after having started this, no side effects and seems I have more muscle now :)

A1C seems to be dropping too. Will know in the next one month when I get tested."


"I have been suffering from restless legs syndrome for over 15yrs. I was originally given tramadol for back pain, which didn't help me at all, but in the process I found I fully relieved my RLS symptoms. I have been taking it for over 10yrs. I have stopped during pregnancy and when taking my migraine medicines, and substitute a low dose narcotic. In the beginning I do remember some 'high' like feelings when I started Tramadol but during my breaks from it I haven't experienced the withdrawals everyone is talking about. My RLS symptoms are quite severe and not medicated it will bring me to tears. The horrible achiness and cramping makes me want to scream! Have tried Quinine and Requip in the past with bad sided effects."


"I took this about 7 hours after unprotected sex and was really nervous about it not working because I read something online about this not being effective for people weighing 175lb+ DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THIS. If you take this within 72 hours you will be fine. I had cramps and was nauseous for the day after I took it (my body is not used to these hormones) and other than that, I started my period about a week earlier than I was expecting."


"Terrible! I was on Microgestin FE 1/20 for 10 months. I experienced weight gain and excessive night sweats. As soon as I stopped taking the pill, the night sweats stopped. The weight is slowly coming off with diet and exercise."


"I'm 20 years old and horrible at taking the pill everyday. So I've had this lovely bar in my arm for almost a year now. I've had one period and no cramps what so ever. But the weight gain has been crazy. I have in total almost gained 30 pounds!! Definitely getting this removed and just going to have to suck it up and take the pill"


"LOVE Contrave! I have been on Contrave for some time now. 37 yrs old, 5' 4". To date I am down 63 pounds :) I did not lose my weight overnight, so do not get discouraged. I still get to have the foods I like, just MUCH smaller portions. I get so full, and stay satisfied until my next meal. I drink lots of water throughout the day. The only side effect I have had is cotton mouth, jolly ranchers help a lot. I do like that they offer a coupon to help cover the cost, my insurance does not cover it. When I first started taking Contrave, my out of pocket with the coupon was $60.00, now I pay $90.00. I have no clue why the cost went up :( I have had several friends get on Contrave because of my results. My own doctor was very pleased as well."


"Currently in pain management. Have been taking Ms-contin and Norco both 3 times a day, for 12 years plus. Had two gyno surgeries in December and January (last Wednesday) and was prescribed vicodin as well. With the other medicines I take I found my overall pain management, not just surgical pain to be much better. Really found a few pain free moments for first time in 2 years. Great relief. Wish I could take it all the time with current pain medication regimen."


"I have been looking for a medication that will keep me at a stable pace all day, not with the several ups and downs I experience on Motiron and Ritalin. I have tried Adderall, Ritalin, Straterra, and more than 3 other medications. But of all the medications I have tried, Straterra gave me the worst side effects by far. I felt sick to my stomach, irritable, toxic, I had a headache for 3-4 hours a day and the come down was terrible. I went through extreme periods of depression and anxiety while on this medication for only 2 weeks! I know some people can feel the effects after a few weeks, but for me it just wasn't worth it to continue. Hope it works for others but this non-stimulant was all side-effects and no help for my ADHD."


"My colorectal surgeon prescribed Miralax to help with severe constipation that has been a problem for me since birth.  I have an illness that causes nerve damage which has altered the proper functioning of the intestinal tract.  I have had great success with the Miralax and have a much better quality of life now. Was reluctant to use other laxatives before for fear of dependence, but my doctor assures me Miralax does not cause dependence. I'm very pleased."


"worked great for me after a severe car accident. broken ribs, broken pelvic bone, ruptured spleen, and everything else i wont go into"


"I've been taking claravis for 3 months and have had significant improvement in my adult cystic acne.  I was VERY worried about side effects. I definitely have dry, chapped lips and my cholesterol has gone up. My skin/hair isn't dry, but, I normally have very greasy skin/hair. My olive skin wasn't that sun sensitive, I still took precautions at the beach (sunblock, hats, umbrellas). Per my DR: Supplements (including protein powder) & OTC drugs that are processed by your liver/kidneys are to be avoided.  My DR told me to check with them before taking other medication. Side effects are real but very manageable. This drug really works! Stay hydrated, moisturize, and carry aquaphor for chapped lips!"


"Save your money ! Abreva is not only expensive, IT DOES NOT work.  I used it for the first 3 days from the first tingle.  My cold sore did not get smaller it just kept growing.  Searched the wed for other alternatives and came across Vicks rub.  So glad I gave it a try. Instant pain relief with the Vicks and blister is getting better within a few hours !"


"Its the first birth control I ever had. I never had problems. 4 day light periods on time. "


"I have been on the Fentanyl Patch for 8 years and decided that I was so tired of the brain fog that I had from this drug that I asked the doctor to put me on Kadian and I don't have the brain fog anymore and Kadian keeps my pain level down enough for me to function in everyday life, I have CRPS and spondylosis in my neck with two bulging disc so no surgery for me. My only complaint is constipation."


"I have had chronic pain for almost ten years and have tried other pain medication but methadone by far works the best for me. It is effects are long lasting and if it was not for having a great doctor that monitors my usage, made me sign a contract saying I would not get other pain meds from other doctors, gives random drug screenings to make sure that I actually do take the meds and do not use any street drugs.  I am subject at any time to pill counts to make sure I am not using too many pills.  I am very grateful to have a doctor that is willing to work with someone that has chronic pain not pass the buck to another doctor."


"This medication reduced my fibromyalgia pain and some other symptoms significantly more than any of the other medications or combination of treatments usually prescribed for fibromyalgia. Initial side effects easily managed by starting at a very low dose."


"Saw immediate results in triglycerides levels. No noticeable side effects thus far."


"LOVE IT! I take 600mg a day. I don't think it causes the comprehension problems like Keppra, hard to tell though as taking both medicines at same time.  If my medication has to be increased this will be the one.  I can't increase Keppra anymore. "


"This medication just makes me more frustrated...absolutely not a wink of sleep   for two nights in a row. I just feel extremely exhausted but cannot sleep even after taking the pill about 6 hours ago, instead I'm getting a pounding headache"


"I noticed I was constantly down, getting upset and was unable to communicate with people. I stopped going out and without realising I created my own bubble which I found hard to get out of. Even the simplist of things felt hard causing me to fall behind in work. I was then experiencing anxiety where I was so stressed. I knew somthing wasn't right when I found myself fantasising over jumping off a really high building so I didn't have to worry anymore.

I took myself to the doctors and he started me on 10mg of citalopram. The first week was hard. I still had suisidal thoughts. I couldn't stop yawning and had a dry mouth. After three weeks I started to feel normal again and things got easier. I still have down days but at all like before. :)"


"I haven't even been on Gilenya for a full week and am already seeing positive results. The first few days I did feel sluggish and had some stomach discomfort (gas, cramping, etc.), but neither was severe or lengthy. What I am most impressed by, so far, is the immediate improvement in muscle spasticity, which has helped me sleep more fitfully than I have slept in years. I have also experienced the return of tastes and sensations I wasn't even fully aware of losing and an alleviation of what I call brain pain. I am excited to see the vast improvement to my health, and I look forward to all that I will accomplish with the freedom it brings."


"Stendra WORKS MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN Cialis or Viagra - seems to cause fewer side effects too!"


"The first time I took the new version of Augmentin I truly prayed for death within hours! But it is the only medication that helps me with my severe sinusitis ... so I decided to take a 1/2 pill 4 times per day WITH FOOD and I had zero side effects ... so I'm praying I have the same experience this time!  Nothing worse than have the sinus pressure and vomiting!  I hope this helps!!"


"I'm on day 2, taking .06mg Yesterday I dint have any nausea but today is going in waves. I'm in my late 30's weigh 220 and am 5'7".  I also have Hoshimoto's. 4 years ago I weighed 150lbs.  I gained 60lbs in less than a year and have had trouble ever since trying to get this weight under control. I too like most think about food constantly, and most days have no energy due to my Thyroid.  I want my life back and hope and pray this will give me the needed guidance to get back on track!!  Thanks to all who have shared their success with us, that gives me hope!!!"


"This type of BC is the most effective and hassle-free. When I first got it I was on my period for three months (this is different for everyone) I went back to the doctor and he gave me BC pills and my periods were normal from then on out. Some people are saying their hair is falling out and they are gaining weight, I have no signs of this. The only thing I don't like about it is I have to take the pills or my period will come and stay for a long time but that's better than being pregnant!"


"Evekeo works great. It's more mild in regards to excitability in comparison to adderall.  Evekeo is Amphetamine Sulfate and carries 50% dextroamphetamine and 50% levoamphetamine.  Adderall is 75% dextroamphetamine and 25% levoamphetamine, so Evekeo is much smoother and wears off slowly vs adderall's fluctuating tapering.  It is much different than adderall.  Evekeo doesn't make you feel wired like adderall does.  It's a cleaner medicine.  Evekeo is a freebase Amphetamine while adderall has 4 different salts.  I would recommend the makers of Evekeo to make higher milligram tablets.  It's similar to a 10mg adderall IR.  It's just the ratio of ingredients that's the difference. Duration is said by pharmacists to be 12 hr's, buts more like 6."


"I've had chronic constipation and IBS for six years.  When I was first given this drug it was stronger than I needed, and caused severe cramping with gas.

Later, when nothing else worked, I was given it again, and I learned to take it at bedtime, so that I don't notice the cramping.  It's just one of many medicines I take, but my body can't expel without it.

I have developed hypoglycemia, and found on an MRI that I also have a spastic colon, so I think we're about to make some trial changes, but I'm not sure I would be alive without amitiza.

My insurance only pays a portion, but I use the online coupons to make it affordable."


"tried adderall, ritalin, etc.  since I have co-morbid anxiety they made me "tweek".  Very anxiety provoking.  Dexadrine, however, proved to be the exception.  It's feel is more relaxed and focused.  I take less of my Klonipan and Xanax because of the feeling of control and the ablitly to finish tasks.  I am glad I researched and suggested it to my doctor, who by the way now is a believer in dexedrine for patients who do not respond to adderall and ritalin."


"I have now been taking this medication for just over a month. I am more relaxed, calm. I have no sleepiness and i think the only side effect is weight loss. Since being on this medication i have lost 10lbs. But i am still giving it some time and see where it leads me."


"I've been on Sprintec since September of 2016. So far, I have not gained any weight at all. My acne has also greatly improved. The only side effects that really bother me are the occasional extreme breast tenderness and the acid reflux. My breasts grew one cup size which I actually don't mind. I was diagnosed with depression about 6 years ago, but this pill has not made it any worse. My period always starts on a Sunday and ends on a Wednesday, so I never have any surprises. I also don't have as many cramps as I used to."


"Had my first injection of Syn-visc 1 yesterday and have first total relief from knee pain in 10 years. The injection was not as painful as my cortisone injections. Hope I can stay pain free for a long time."


"Fast Freeze was cheaper and it worked better than some of the other brands I have used."


"I have been on citalopram for a couple months now and I absolutely love it. The only side effect I had was dizziness the next day after the first dose, but it went away. As of right now, no side effects at all, and I have noticed that I am more independent and more confident than I have ever been. Before this medication I took Paxil, which was horrible. The side effects were the worst and the withdrawal (which I have read about) is bad as well, but I got over it. Before Celexa I would be afraid to talk on the phone and do basic things like calling insurance companies, cable companies, etc. But now I have the confidence to call anyone and the change has been night and day. Highly recommend this medication!"


"Good medicine and I am feeling good after using it."


"I hadn't had a bowel movement in a few days so I mixed some of this into my apple juice and within 3 minutes I was in the bathroom. It works really well but it wouldn't stop coming out.....I feel less blocked up though so if you feel blocked, definitley try it"


"I was being prescribed different anxiety/depression drugs when Effexor stopped working. It was hell for months. Then I had the genetic blood test and found that there were only a few drugs that could work with my body. I was prescribed Pristiq 3 years ago and so far it has worked. initially, the side effects are strong, but they lessen as time goes on. Currently, I may have dizziness and flushing, but the good effects of this drug greatly outweigh the bad. I am taking 150 mg (1) 50 mg and (1) 100 mg and found out it is $60 less per prescription if I take (3) 50 mg pills instead. This is not an inexpensive drug, but it works for me."


"I have been taking it for four nights. I fall asleep for about an hour and go into a state of mind in which my mind is awake but my body is asleep. Then my body wakes up after one hour and I am awake for the rest of the night feeling extremely fidgety like I need to pace or jump out of my skin. The feeling continues for about 12 hours. I can't take it anymore.  If it had no effect, I would keep taking it waiting for that magical night that many seem to express happens.  This reaction frightens me. I don't want to chance rage like Wellbutrin causes in me."


"I was taking this 2x a day at 500 mg for a torn pcl knee injury. Has not done anything for the pain!"


"If you already suffer from anxiety, DO NOT TAKE THIS SHOT. I read the warnings and tried it anyway and I am 100% regretting it now.

After my first shot, I felt moody and depressed, but I thought these were effects of the abortion I had a few weeks prior. Somehow, the mood swings continued. My anxiety worsened. I was having panic attacks every other night during the last week of the 3rd month. My body was exhausted.

For some reason, I still didn't equate the stress to the shot. I took the shot again when it was scheduled to be given to me, and all hell broke loose. The fear and anxiety and sadness I felt during the first week of my first round were tenfold. I will NOT be taking this again and look forward to it leaving my system."


"I only gave this product the rating I did because I'm not sure if it's ineffective BUT I will say by far this is the worst experience I've ever had. I inserted the medication at 11:30pm and woke up at 2:00am crying. THIS STUFF BURNS LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT! I'm writing this review with an I ice pack sitting between my legs. I've tried to sit in a shallow tub of COLD water and not much relief. I hope my vag doesn't burn off! but seriously use this stuff with caution!"


"Been on microgestin FE 1/20 since September. I had some side effects -nervousness, odd dreams, during the first 10 days. I lost my appetite and have not regained it. During this last 6 weeks my anxiety has returned triple. I can't sleep. I'm exhausted. I have vivid nightmares. It's awful. I have constant feeling of dread & anxiety, like I want to break things. I got on the med to control constant menstrual bleeding...I'm 47 now. The pill has worked well for that and my hair is growing back where I lost some due when iron was low. My period cramps have increased a little, but not overbearingly. I have Dr appt in January. Hope she takes me off this pill before I go insane. They should take this pill off the market."


"Thanks for the feedback. It has helped me feel better. I'm getting married in a day and a half and woke up this morning with an outbreak! I was so bummed out, so I made an appointment with the doctor immediately. She prescribed Valtrex, and it has been 7 hours since I took the 2 grams and its already starting to work! I hope I wake up and the blisters are all gone! "


"I have been taking Abilify for about 3 years now. It has changed my life dramatically. It has greatly lessoned my highs and lows. It has balanced me out when it comes to all the typical bipolar symptoms."


"This was the first birth control I ever tried and let me tell you my experience was horrible. I constantly felt like I was going to throw up and at times I did. I also felt like crying about everything. I wasn't myself at all so I changed birth control pills to Microgestin and everything has been great. I have been on them for about a year now."


"After two months of using the Mirena I started experiencing heavy bleeding. It has been a year and I still have heavy bleeding. Currently I keep getting cramps in my lower abdomen, which I have never had before."


"This is the only birth control that has ever gotten my cycle regulated for a long period of time. Usually I will switch medicines only to have it regulated for 3-4 months, then everything to go haywire again. With Lutera, I have no breakthrough bleeding or spotting, no headaches or body aches, and no weight gain. I love this birth control. Before I was on this, I was very anemic from an abnormal period (bleeding 2-3 weeks out of the month), but now I don't even have to take my iron supplement. Also, I am not pregnant, so it works there, too, which is good."


"I love Yaz. I have been on Yaz for about 3 years now. I was originally on the off brand of Othro Tri-Cyclen and hated it! I became someone I didn't know, I was moody, I would cry for no reason no matter what part of my cycle I was in. I had absolutely no sex drive! Now I am on Yaz and I feel like myself, I have a normal sex drive, I haven't gained any weight. I haven't had any issues with Yaz. My periods are short and light and easy. Best birth control pill I have ever been on!"


"I'm nearing the end of my 3 year term and getting it out now, but should have long ago! I got my nexplanon put in January 2013... The first 10 months were fantastic, I did not have 1 period! From 10 months until about 14 months was ok, I had a period here and there. The past year or more had been TERRIBLE! Instead of having a period 1 week per month, I am lucky to NOT have a period for 4 days a month!
On top of that, I gained a total of 30 pounds.. most of it in the first year.
I hate it and should have had it removed sooner but next Wednesday is the day!
Rated it a 3 because it was successful in that I did not get pregnant."


"I've been taking Clomipramine for a year now.  I started at 200mg and went quickly up to 300mg (the max you can take).  It gives me a very dry mouth and constipation.  Also remember that this drug needs to be given in very high dosages to work (200mg-300mg).  If a doctor just gives you 10 or 50mg, it's not going to work.  Also, this is an older drug, you likely will have to ask for it by name.  I have pure Obsessive disorder (no compulsions), and tried Prozac before this with no success.  A few days on this and I noticed a big difference.  I've been maintaining on 300mg for a year now.  I don't like the side effects, but I won't go off of it, because it's been an amazing drug that works for me.  It took away about 90% and now I can easily manage what's left"


"Fantastic medicine! I have insomnia, depression and anxiety. Helps me fall asleep and sleep hard all through the night. I wake up feeling refreshed. This pill gives me lots of energy. Imy back on my bicycle and hitting my home gym daily. I feel confident in myself for the first time and almost feel guilty for not having constant self depreciating thoughts. Thankful God has given me powerful healing in this medicine. A tool against the devil, I no longer hear his lies so much. Living happily "


"This was one of the better SSRI's I've been on. However, after using it for a few years I began to notice that some of the granules were not getting absorbed into my system. The granules were showing up in my stools completely whole. It worked wonders on my rage and moodiness though."


"I got this implant shortly after having my first, and only, child in April 2009.  I was nursing and it was one of the only birth control options that my midwife identified as "safe".  It started off fine.  I didn't have a period for awhile, that could have been attributed to the breastfeeding also.  Within a year though I started worrying about it.  I have gained weight and have a really hard time losing any weight despite calorie counting and lots of cardio at the gym.  Also my period is very sporadic but when it does come it is not unusual for me to bleed moderate to heavy for 10 to 14 days.  During that time I am miserable with back aches, constant cramps and lots of nausea.  I want to get it removed but my midwife assures me it's all normal."


"I have now been using Dupixent for about a month. I've had eczema for my whole life (all 48 years). Treatments I've previously used were cortisone creams (Diprolene & Clobetasol), antihistamines, regular application of emollients, anti itch creams, bleach baths. All just reduced flare ups but nothing ever made my eczema truly better. It has always been present even when most allergens were not present (i.e., in the winter). Dupixent is supposed to take several months to work, but I noticed that my skin was clearing up 4 days after the initial loading dose. Since then my skin has continued to show improvement with dramatically reduced redness and progressively less itchiness."


"Had lump removed April 2014 15 treatments of Radiotheraphy  then Letrozole. The Doctor only warned about making my already present aches pains worse but felt this was the best for my age now 70.  I went out with Daughter Friday felt had to drag myself around so wiped out I feel need to sit down all the time. Go upstairs to bed time get top of stairs sweating very hot feel like running out of air have to sit down on toilet whilst I cool down. During the day constantly fall asleep. Feel this is a poor life with no energy to do anything.Wake in morning headache. sometimes feel sick."


"I have suffered with irritable bowel syndrome for 45 years.  Different medicines worked for short periods but quit. Linzess has greatly improved my days but the cost keeps me from taking it daily so it must be taken sparingly. "


"I'm just posting a quick post-insertion update. After reading all these reviews I was terrified to get the paragaurd inserted.  But after trying almost every form of hormonal birth control (pills, shots, and the one you put in yourself) with terrible terrible side effects.... Basically you name a side effect and I had it... I am excited for my paraguard.  Seriously the pain was not that bad. Realistically it feels like one of those bad period cramps that make you wanna curl into a ball that lasts for about two minutes.  Just breathe and its fine.  The cramps suck today but I'd take cramps over pregnancy or hormonal bc side effects any day.  I'll post again later. Plus my insurance covered 100% n I have crappy insurance."


"Mx it with Tang, it makes it much easier to drink. All you get is tang and a little grittiness. I am experiencing an inability to overeat and some resultant weight loss. i have been on it for about a month."


"The actual insertion wasn’t bad, they numb your arm and you don’t feel anything but a slight pressure. You should be on your period when you get the implant. The first month, I was bleeding EVERY SINGLE DAY. It was very light but annoying. I was getting ready to have it removed but it stopped. I haven’t bled since, and it’s been a little over 5 months now. I don’t have any symptoms or problems. Overall, I’m very happy with Nexplanon and will probably get a new one implanted when the 3 years is up."


"It works fine, but I still have some discomfort in my eyes and after 10 days of taking it I have develop a constant contraction in my right eye. I will stop using this product and use it occasionally."


"Please, listen to you doctor and do not read reviews. I was scared to death when I was reading all these horrible reviews. I've been on this pill for a month now and it's been wonderful. Not moody, I feel it has actually made me more relax and layed back.  No bloating. Have not gained weight. Take it correctly and take it at the exact time and everyday."


"From Yr 11 to Yr 12 I was on this for acne. My face was a mess. I was really not sure about my life etc. So happy I took this along with Tea Tree Cream. People I meet are amazed I even had an acne condition."


"I have had this IUD for a few weeks. I've always struggled with weight gain W/hormones. I can't take estrogen. On the depo, I gained 30 pounds in 3 months. Then I tried the paragard, no weight gain, but excruciating pain every day for the year I had it in (suspecting an allergy), then I tried nexplanon, thinking it was less hormones, lots of people like it. Gained that same 30 pounds back, but over 8 months instead of 3 before I discontinued. I also had awful anxiety and no sex drive. That said, besides cramping, I've had zero side effects so far with lilletta. No weight gain, no anxiety, normal libido. And for those who don't know, there are several chemically different progestins. Maybe one works for you, another doesn't. DO YOUR RESEARCH."


"Been on Buspar for 6 weeks and I'm not feeling any better. My anxiety is mild compared to most but the irritability and sometimes nervous feeling is why I elected to try Buspar. So far at  6 weeks I haven't felt any benefits. The dizziness has been hard to deal with although I found some relief with 25 - 50 mg. Dramamine."


"I've been on this pill almost 8 months and I have to say, I also have mixed reviews. I haven't gotten pregnant, so it has proven effective in that sense. I've also gained weight, experienced the migraines and nausea others have mentioned, now have lighter periods, and get frequent bacterial vaginosis. It is definitely as bad as it sounds. I've also had some trouble with moisture down there during sex. Being that my cycle was irregular before, I wanted something to prevent pregnancy but also allows for a monthly menstrual cycle. This was more than I bargained for. I think I'm going to stop taking the pill and look into other options. "


"I have bipolar 1 disoder. I am on abilify (currently getting off) and Lamictal. Lamictal has helped me level a lot alot. Been a good medicine for me only side effect I noticed is I started yawning alot after taking it."


"OMG!!!! Help! Yeast infections come and go. I've been tested for absolutely everything and no answers . Fluconazole sux! Otc meds suck! I'm like at the end of my ropes with this "


"Doctor prescribed diclofenac (75 X 2/day) three weeks ago for severe arthritis in my big toes. I'm 60 years old and still work, mostly on my feet all day. Pain and swelling have been reduced, but not totally gone. I'd have to say I'm happy with the result as it has enabled me to keep working, but side effects are troublesome: I get headaches close to migraine level, my vision is so blurred sometimes, I'm VERY groggy in the morning and have a hard time getting out of bed, and the ringing in my ears has gotten worse. So I can only give it a 7 out of 10."


"When I got my first shot, I bleed for 23 days none stop. Worst experience ever, don't try."


"This was my first birth control.I didn't experience any side effects except I do think that they affected my mood. I became a lot more emotional about a lot of things and people which I didn't think was possible since I was already pretty emotional.

No acne, no bad cramps, no weird periods. Only switched because of an insurance issue."


"I'm 49 years and single and had several issues maintaining an erection over the past year. So my doctor gave me a sample pack of 20mg Cialis. Cialis WORKS!"


"Unfortunately this medication did not work out well for me at all. I was on 150mg of Wellbutrin a generic SR version. In the first week I took the medicine first thing in the morning as directed (for me that's about 7a.m.), and the rest of the day I had intense/severe headaches. Mind you, I already take medication daily for migraines because I'm a chronic sufferer, and my migraine medication was being blown out of the water! I felt like I had several ice picks in my head. The other issue I noticed immediately was that I was having an extremely difficult time sleeping and if I did fall asleep I'd have very vivid and awful nightmares. Other apparently issues were having memory loss and abnormal behavior. Not for me!!!"


"Ive been a chronic underarm sweater for years.  While this product did indeed stop my sweating, I've developed a burning and nasty rash under both arms.  I've only used it twice and somehow doubt I'll be able to apply it again. Going to check with dermatologist to find out why it is affecting me this way."


"Zoloft is a miracle. I was having panic attacks and anxiety and since taking them I feel so much better .I can sleep at night and wake up refreshed and feel I could climb a mountain. Truly a wonderful medicine."


"My expierence with the impant has not been good. I am sad and upset all the time. I cry over everything. I am extremely irritable and anxious. I've had this in for almost a year and I'm not happy ever anymore.
I am getting the Nexplanon taken out as soon as I can to get a new birth control prescribed."


"I used it on my 92 year old mother after it cured my 2 year old daughter.  It is the best ever. Dried up the worst c. dif. rash ever in about three days. Other step therapy medications failed.  The problem with the insurance says they do not approve it because the components of this ointment are available over the counter. Vusion however combines these OTC tropicals in a vehicle that cures at the most remarkable speed. I had to pay $444. for one tube  but it started to dry up mom's fungal within two days then healed the skin.  Miracle topical. Used it for about a week."


"My daughter is 9 and has been switching through several stimulant ADHD medicines for 2 years. She can't sleep at night without a sedative and she weighs 65 pounds, at almost 10 years old because she just can't eat. She would literally eat something small for breakfast and nothing for the rest of the day, most hopeless feeling watching your child starve and refuse to eat. We are switching to this and Vyvanse, from clonidine and Concerta. It's only her fist day, but she ate 3 FULL meals today, we are hoping to get her down to just this medication, but you can't just pull her off the stimulants. I'll be sure to post and update how happy I am with it several times to see how it progresses. After reading here I am very hopeful."


"I suffer from anxiety and was prescribed Cymbalta and Xanax. While they both worked, I didn't like the way Cymbalta made me feel and I had some of the more alarming side-effects, so I've switched over to just taking Xanax as needed and going to a psychotherapist, and I feel much much more in control of my anxiety. I only take 0.25mg as needed (when I feel my anxiety building) and find it to be perfect, I can calm myself down more quickly and still focus and work productively."


"On it for a month, became extremely depressed and had suicidal thoughts."


"Did not significantly help with my triglycerides. Caused severe chest pain and shortness of breath."


"It did lots of bad things to me. Increased anger . sometimes when upset just pick up a mug and smash it. Could not control it. Also was violent with some one at least twice. Kicked a hole in the wall in hospital . jumped out of moving car. Found it hard to stay in one spot for long . probably had akathisia."


"I'm a 69 yr old male who began Axiron one month ago with a free sample.  I feel much better generally and have noticed improved energy, mood, and libido. The cost is about $400 per month. I have switched to an injectable depo-testosterone which is about $35 per month. I'm very excited about this whole experience. When I look back I realize my symptoms started when I was 52, or 17 yrs ago.  If only I had known I could have saved years of issues. My T-level was 233 and have not retested yet.
Good luck and GET TESTED!"


"Before Plaquenil, I would be in bed for days at a time, unable to move, excessive pain, ice cold, migraines, the whole gamut.  My body felt ancient.  At first the rheumatologist thought I had leukemia, then Lupus and rheumatoid athritis and finally biopsies started giving us a more refined treatment plan.  With this medicine, I am in much less pain.  I can walk for an hour at a time.  I can shop for groceries again.  I feel like I have a life again.

I have had brief periods, never more than a month without it, and I know that life without the benefit of Plaquenil is no life at all.  Yes, I have to see the retina specialist but in all this time, my eyes are fine.  Don't hesitate to try it even though new treatments can be scary!"


"I couldn't sleep the whole time I took it but I dropped 10 pound in 1 week!"


"I have been on Buspar for about 3 months. I take 30 mg a day. I feel it is effective but I still get anxious thoughts and worry about having panic attacks. Does this happen to anyone else maybe I just up my dose but I get dizzy for about 30 minutes and can't lay down while I'm working. I was on Paxil but the side effects were awful so my Dr switched me to this."


"6+ years on Synthroid, and this is what I have to show for it..Used to be a size 12 now a 28, no periods, pain all over, Hypo symptoms still, mental and mood symptoms ( anxiety, depression, mood swings) My Growth Hormone is only 40 and my FSH is 78. I can't have children. Finally switched to Cytomel, it broke me out, and still had same symptoms as above. My level was over 20 last they checked. Just got a RX for Armour, hoping I finally get my life back"


"The only reason I am giving this medication a '9' is because I'm my 5th week in and I've feel better than I did before taking the medication. I would say in my 3rd to 4th week I started feeling better and to my old self. Don't get me wrong...I still had moments of anxiety and stress, but nothing like it used to be. Recently, I've been preparing for a CT Scan and I think it's caused my anxiety to spike again. I'm staying positive and trying to face the reality that my worry is the cause of the anxiety. I know the full effect with Paxil doesn't kick in until 3 months and I am going to stay on it to benefit from it. Like I said, it's been a tremendous blessing, but still got a hill to climb. It's most important to face our problems head-on."


"After four months of thinking I had chronic dry skin on my face, I saw a dermatologist who diagnosed me with seborrheic dermatitis. He gave me a prescription for Xolegel. It is VERY expensive at over $800/tube, but my insurance brought it down to $100 and then a discount card from the manufacturer brought it down to only $10. In three days, the redness and scaling on my face were gone. I can't imagine not having this medication."


"For a while I was struggling with the worst most painful acne of my life. I bought a tube of Differin for $15 and within a week inflammation was down and things were looking good.  2 months into it I don't have a single pimple on my face. I only wash my face once every 3 days to help prevent over drying and every night I remove my makeup, use a micellar water, apply a layer of Differin, and then an oil mixture to moisturize. I've found that facial oil rather than a moisturizer increases the effectiveness of Differin, it almost seals it close to the skin at night. Wouldn't recommend Differin to everyone, but it worked wonders for me. Its all about patience and dedication."


"Wonderful...only one that works for me."


"I just started on 120mg ER Diltiazem once daily. I am 45 male, 6'3" 210 lbs, with SVT history. I past been on Metropolol, Atenlol and Bystolic. I had horrible side effects with Beta Blockers. Doc switched me to Diltiazem because he said less side effects. My SVT results in 1-3 second arrythmias and then they stop. I havent been experiencing the SVT in quite some time but my chief complaint is the sinus HeartRate. My resting heartrate on BB was 75bbm. I weaned off BB and for 2 days was medicine free but my resting HR was 90 which quickly shot up when I did anything. I did feel alot better for those 2 days but I went back on 2.5mg Bystolic until I saw Doctor. Day 3 on Diltiazem and resting HR 85/90. Feel better but doesnt seem to slow HR down"


"I was given medicine to take before the procedure and after, it was a little painful but nothing to serious. The rest of the day I was drowsy but had no cramps, headache or normal "period pains". I absolutely love the Mirena and it was well worth the money. Much better than the pill or shot you could take. I would recommend this to everyone! I got it the second day of my period and it lasted only 2 more days. I got it 3 months ago and haven't had my period since! As for sex I had it the 5th day and am not pregnant and have no side effects. Definitely recommend this!"


"Vicodin ES was needed for my chronic pain due to Multiple Sclerosis. My condition is really controlled."


"Only been on Epclusa for a week.  Super fatigued an hour after taking med then much better full of energy but lost most of my morning.  Changed to night time but got headaches.  Back to taking in the am but about 9 pm I hit a wall of tired—like someone slipped me something to make me pass out.
I know I need to nap more but my job won’t allow it so I’ll take it at 7am work my butt off then pass out at 9—not a bad idea anyway for daily living.
Diagnosed 2 years ago but know I’ve had Hep C since the 80’s.....more to come."


"At first it made me feel really sick constantly and have stomach aches but after 2 weeks it started to help me cope with my anxiety and depression waaay better. I wanna make it clear I wasnt looking for a cure when I started taking prozac, but just a way to better manage my feelings because I dont think I will ever be cured since Ive been chronically depressed my whole life.

And it does really help me manage way better, I still have depressive episodes tho, but I dont break down crying easily or feel anxious all the time and I stopped disassociating."


"After week 2 feel like my old self again-before the depression and anxiety hit. Definitely worked for me."


"When I started taking this medication I was really hopeful, but the first two weeks I noticed no results. However, my family said I was distant, and "here, but not here." After a couple of months (as encouraged by the doctor) I still didn't feel like my depression was managed as well as it was on other medications."


"Revlimid significantly reduced my cancer levels , also reduced my pains so I could stop taking my Percocet. At this time I just take extra strength Tylenol. The bad side effect was I developed a bad blood clot in my left leg. I am now on a blood thinner."


"Helps with multiple issues, no real high for me, but significantly less pain and anxiety!"


"Vraylar saved my life. I was diagnosed bipolar in my early 20's. I went through a 5 year stint of hard drugs nearly killing myself. After getting sober in 2010, I  took Depacot (made me gain a ton of weight) Lithium ( gave me intense tremors and I was always thirsty). So, I decided to go off meds. Relapsed on alcohol. Found myself in the hospital within a month for trying to commit suicide. I went to a partial hospitalization program where the psych Dr prescribed me Vraylar. I swear within 3 days, I was a new person. I had tons of energy, I was happy, and it's only been a week I am still only on the 1.5 dose. I am so thankful for this drug. I am usually extremely sensitive to psych meds and have experience no side affects."


"I was optimistic about this med, as I was feeling pretty good emotionally. Unfortunately it caused me to have six seizures in a day, which is rare for me. I tried Lyrica twice on two separate occasions, this being the second, but we didn't know it was causing it the first time. Ultimately, I had high hopes but it was a big disappointment. Actually, more than a disappointment, it was straight up dangerous.

Disclaimer: I know this med helps a lot of people; this is just my personal experience."


"Ive had migraines at least 3 times a week since I was 5 years old, I'm now 19.. I started taking these about 4-5 months ago and now i still get migraines about twice a week, BUT they are the worst migraines ive ever had in my life, im in so much pain i throw up 3-4 times with each one, all i can do is lay in the dark, cry, and try to sleep until it goes away, it usually takes around 24 hours to fade away. Ive also been expierencing hair loss and trouble urinating.. everytime i have a migraine all i can think about is how much i want to die and whats the point of living.. And for those reasons, im getting off this."


"31yrs old, single. Slowly been losing hair for 10 years, but last couple years very noticeable.  It makes me very self conscious because I was always the best looking guy most places I would go,but I was starting to feel ugly, lost my swag and its all because of hair loss.  I think about it 24/7 of everyday.  I've tried everything to try and stop it from serums, the lasercomb, propecia.   5 months ago I decided I would try one last thing or just accept my thining head of hair and hope I would find a girl that was ok with the top of my head turning into a horseshoe of baldness.  I had an initial shed which was tough to go through but I can tell its working and I am so happy, I will continue with it and hope it keeps getting better."
