"I read a lot of scary reviews about the pain and problems after having Mirena IUD put in so, I thought I'd write my own review. It's not nearly as scary as what I had read.

I got my Mirena 3 days ago. I've had one child via c-section 8 years ago. Overall the experience was better than I anticipated. It only took about five minutes for the entire procedure and maybe only 60-90 seconds of pain, when opening up my cervix and putting the IUD in. It wasn't exactly pleasant but I was able to deal with it. I kept waiting for the real "excruciating pain" to come, but it never happened. It was over before I knew it.

I did take it 800 milligrams of Advil about an hour beforehand, so that may help but I do have a high tolerance for pain."


"Sooooo, an update from my post last week. After being 13 days late, I took three tests....they all came back positive. So much for Plan B.  My luck is me being that small percentage that it doesn't work on."


"Was prescribed this for uti and started feeling nauseous after the second tablet by the second day I was vomiting and struggling to keep even fluids down. Was getting cold sweats and just feeling generally unwell. Went back the drs  and they changed antibiotic. Also dr retested urine and infection was positive. Didn't do a thing for me just made me feel awful ."


"I've been on Busiprone (10 mg twice a day) for about 2 weeks now and I have seen no improvement. My sleep is jacked up from it from either interupted sleep or vivid dreams. I dont think I'm going to continue to use it. Xanax seemed to be the only thing that has helped me so far.."


"I have been on Cymbalta  for over 2 years. I have M.S. And am a type 1 diabetic with severe Neuropathy. Before this medication, the searing pain in my legs was unbearable. I could not walk because of it. I was originally put on gabapenton, and had such severe side effects that I quit taking it. My neurologist then prescribed me Cymbalta. He started me on a low dose, then after a month doubled it. Since then, I experience little to no pain. When I am a bit uncomfortable, I get in a warm bath and the pain is gone. I sleep better, have better control over my blood sugar as it does suppress appetite, but that means I am not munching or over eating. I can not live without it!!!"


"Started liraglutide 9/1/15. Was 220 lbs and am 5"2". Today 202 lbs. Have been diet controlled blood sugars for years, but still overweight. Diabetic belly first to go! Is gone! Still losing. Hard to get insurance to cover. Insurance companies are approving Saxenda and Victoza differently. Doctors are fudging and ordering Saxenda for weight loss. Victoza for diabetic control. They are looking at A1C's. Had some nausea first 2 weeks that dramamine fixed. Some indigestion occasionally. Tums has fixed. I don't want snacks between meals as I used to. I eat 3 meals. First effective weight loss product I have ever used, except for Weight Watchers which I incorporated into my lifestyle years ago and still try to follow the concepts. This is working!"


"So I am a 33 year old woman who has only had one YI in my life.... until this one. I recently had a kidney/uti infection and that sent my vagina into a tail spin... it was the weekend and I had no access to my dr. Or Diflucan.... so I figured the ovule one day treatment would be awesome until late I could get to see my dr. BOY was I wrong.... HOLY CRAP... I put in my ovule around 7.... and layer down for a few hours. Went to get up to use the restroom and all hell broke loose. No sooner was I back in bed the fire of a thousands suns was burning my vagina and the itching was WAY more intense then the YI itself.... then I Googled and found this page thank good.... currently in Luke warm bath... and I have an ice pack ready for when I lay down"


"Diarrhea, bloating etc. decrease within a few months, extended release tabs help, and eating small portions of food, with low carb help too. I find the cramps, diarrhea return every time I fall off the wagon, overeat or take in too much carb. it is a great motivator to keep you on your diet. And it is a great one to gradually, safely and permanently lose weight. I lost 30 lbs in 2 years and kept it, with no particular diet (except low carb) and hardly any exercise. Absolutely the best diet pill I've seen in my many diet trials over past 30 yrs.I think anyone wanting to lose weight should try this, even non diabetics."


"I have had the implant since February of this year. Despite the decent prevention, it has hindered my sex drive greatly. I have also gained weight. I was never able to do that before on any type of bc. I went from 163 to 189 pounds. This actually bothers me.  Since I didn't change anything in what I do or eat. If I keep gaining like this I may have it removed at the one year."


"It helps me a lot."


"I've had many UTI's in the past but usually keep them at bay by taking cranberry pills daily. Well, I slacked and got a UTI. I think I've taken Bactrim before but I don't ever recall feeling like this. I was fine this morning but by noon was very shaky. I felt hungry and nauseous at the same time. Forced myself to eat and felt slightly better but couldn't focus on work and am feeling down in the dumps (depressed?). I also had trouble sleeping last night. Oh and my pee still burns after 2 doses. So if the symptoms don't improve by tomorrow I'm going to see about switching to something else."


"I'm about to start my third month of microgestin fe 1/20 and its great. I have to say that the WORST symptom I experienced was very mild nausea/loss of appetite, and even that would only last for an hour or two after I took it, then I would be fine. I found that it helps to eat something small (like crackers) before taking it. I'm a Sunday starter and I take it at 7:30 each morning. Also, my breasts have gotten a little bigger (next size up), and my acne hasn't changed much, even though it wasn't bad at all before I started this. My hair hasn't fallen out and I've actually lost a few pounds due to loss of appetite. My periods are now more like spotting, but lasts the full 7-8 days. I can get away with just a panty liner though."


"I felt extremely woozy, nauseated, and shaky while on this medication. I had 2 trips to the ER for severe dehydration caused by the Geodon. I was so shaky I was pretty much convulsing, my heart was going crazy, and it felt like my brain was shutting down. By the time I got to the ER I could barely form sentences and very nearly blacked out. It was a terrifying experience. I felt sick the entire time taking this drug."


"I have been on this pill for 16 days now. Despite the fact that I have only taken this pill 16 times, I have noticed drastic negative changes in myself. I can assure you that I am not exaggerating my experiences with this pill when I describe it, however, I wish that were the case...
Physical Changes I have experienced while taking Lutera:
-Painful, nasty-looking acne on my face, back, and shoulders (I have NEVER had acne in my 19 years of life)
-Weight gain in my abdominal area and shoulders (I have not weighed myself because I am terrified to do so, since it has been that drastic)
-Constant hunger that is difficult for me to control
-I have my period 2 weeks sooner than I should this month"


"I was put on this pill because I have no insurance and needed something to help with my heavy periods. Everything was fine for the first month and a half and then halfway through my second pill pack I started bleeding and it lasted 17 days, stopped for 5 and started again! The day it started again I switched to a new pill.  Also during those 17 days I experienced the worst cramps I've ever had, was constantly nauseous, and had really bad mood swings. I don't know anyone that's had a good experience on this pill."


"I was on Lo Loestrin Fe for 1 1/2 years. Overall good experience. Not pregnant and never have been while on this medication. I took it every morning around the same time, weekends within 4 hours of my usual time. I did not consistently have a period each month which is normal for this medication. Sometimes I had the usual cramps and mood swings around the time I was suppose to have my period but no bleeding. Had breast tenderness. I did not gain weight. No issues with acne but I have a very strong regime for that due to the type of skin I have.  I would recommend to women starting birth control for the first time. I needed a higher dosage of estrogen due to breakthrough bleeding twice so now I am on Junel 1.5/30,  no complaints so far."


"I was prescribed Amox-Clav 875 for strep throat. After three doses of the medication, I became extremely nauseous and threw up everything in my stomach. I became exhausted and slept for multiple hours. I developed a terrible headache and my nausea continued. I contacted my doctor to explain my conditions and he prescribed an anti nausea medication and a different antibiotic. While Amox-Clav was effective in helping my strep throat symptoms in only 3 doses, it rendered me incapable of doing anything. I was not comfortable continuing the medication."


"As far as birth control goes, yes it is effective. But the positives end there. I have been taking this pill for over 5 months now, and the side effects have been miserable. I constantly feel bloated and have gained weight. My breasts have grown a cup size, which is kind of okay but it just adds to the feeling of bloatedness. My periods have lost some of the cramps, but this pill does not make them any shorter. The worst side effect of all though has to be the mood swings. Before taking this pill, I was a very calm, emotionally stable person. Not anymore. I cry often and easily, and worst of all, I angrily snap on my loving boyfriend over ridiculous things. It has seriously put a strain on our relationship. I am switching ASAP."


"I was on sample pills for 2 months and changed to this pill. This pill sucks and put me in bad place. I'm 21 don't diet or exercise always weight around 129lb and my period light 3 day period with painful cramp on 1st day. Monday I started this pill and 3 days later Thursday night I was in bed with really bad cramp that I never had before and painkiller didn't work much. Next day I started heavy period, but I wasn't worried since I changed pills til 4 days after period started. A whole week I had heavy period and another 5 day light period. And I'm having bad diarrhea everytime I eat. My period still not finished after almost 2 weeks. I just realized from reading these comments that it's the pills and I'm not sick in any other way lol."


"I originally started out on solely Prozac for depression. I noticed a moderate amount of difference and because of my lack of focus (after a few months of adjusting to Prozac), my psychiatrist gave me the option of combining Prozac with Wellbutrin. The first time around it really wrecked havoc on my GI and I found out that is extremely rare. I took a couple months off of the Wellbutrin and went back to Prozac alone. About 9-10 months ago, I started back on the duo and I have had zero problems since. No side effects and I have actually noticed quite a significant difference when taking it before bed. I wake up extremely energized. I have never been on Wellbutrin alone, but I can safely say this combination has been fantastic in the AM/PM."


"Do NOT recommend this medication.

It works to put me asleep, but the side effects for me are too much.

I had awful vivid nightmares all night, and woke up with tears streaming down my eyes from the dream.

My nose was running the next day and I felt like a cold was coming in.

The most disturbing side-effect was the extreme fatigue that lasted the entire next day, to the point that I had to call in from work.  I was so tired and everything ached.

Will be consulting with my doctors asap."


"On Metronidazole for the 4th time due to a wisdom tooth which keeps becoming infected (they cannot take it out as it is sitting on a nerve & may leave me with permanent facial numbness). Overall this drug is amazing and I always find that the infection disappears with 3-4 days of taking it. However, I have a very weak stomach and therefore it hits me hard and leaves me fairly nauseous most of the time. Aswell as this I tend to feel "spaced out" and not quite myself. On the whole though, the pros outweigh the cons and the side effects are well worth the results! ***Note: I've been told to take ibuprofen and paracetamol whilst on Metronidazole this time to take away pain/swelling etc & I found this amplifies feelings of nausea x1000.***"


"I've had cold sores my entire life. I have been on prescription pills to keep the cold sores from becoming too bad! Then I found Abreva. It works so well with the pills. I use it on the first sign a cold sore. I also put some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and apply it on the first sign. This usually stops the blister from ever occurring! I would buy Abreva again."


"Zofran is heaven sent. It saved me and my baby's lives. I was sick for 9 months with hyperemesis gravidarum. I was on a zofran pump as well as IV HYDRATION. I don't know if my baby would have survived without it. I'm still using it for chronic nausea.

I wish I could personally thank the creators of this drug.

Thank you."


"I was on this for about two years. I gained 20lbs from it. But I needed to regulate my period. Also my thyroid levels always changed drastically on this, while off it not too bad. Trinessa also made my breast hurt so bad, showers were horrible with the water hitting them. I feel bloated half the month and irritated that this is the only birth control I can afford because Insurance won't cover even with my condition. Also my eyes always were dry and itchy."


"Was given voltaren-XR for knee pain.  I am still unable to feel any effects.  I also can't take Advil with it, which seems to be the only thing that was helping. Tylenol makes me very sleepy. Taking that with the Voltaren is not an option as I need to be alert for my job."


"Taking Nuvigil  about 8 years for hypersomnia and SWD. It has greatly improved my quality of life. I was experiencing the insomnia that could result from this medicine, but once I found out the best time in my schedule to take it, insomnia is rarely an issue. I am grateful my doctor talked me into taking this medication so long ago."


"Five months ago my total cholesterol was 281 (LDL was 199). I can't tolerate statins so my doctor suggested Welchol. I started eating a plant-based diet (no meat or dairy) and began going for walks in the morning. Yesterday my latest blood test showed that my total cholesterol is now 193 and my LDL is 125. That's the first time in 15 years that my cholesterol has been under 200. The diet and exercise certainly had an impact and I'm sure Welchol pushed the numbers even lower."


"I had Mirena removed 10 days ago after only 7 months. Reasons: 1. Terrible skin, worst of my life (I'm 35): A little over 2 months into it I started getting acne and incredibly greasy skin. I've always had great, clear skin even through my teenage years but on the Mirena would get one pimple after another. They'd take forever to heal and leave long-lasting discolorations. Previously, I'd get perhaps two pimples/year which would heal quickly without much of a trace. My face also looked puffier.
2. Facial hair (visible mustache and peach fuzz along the chin) and incredibly bristly, fast growing armpit/pubic/leg hair. I'm back on Nuvaring and thank God my skin and hair is already back to normal."


"Most recent diagnosis is bipolar 1.  I've been better since starting trileptal about 6 months ago.  Doc suggested added Vraylar.  Big mistake as one 1.5 ml dose made me hyperglycemic, jittery, sweaty, nauseous.  I fell when my muscles sort of locked up and was physically unable to speak or move for several minutes.  Helpless, awful feeling.  I ain't taking a second dose of this stuff."


"(From a teen's point of view. I am currently 14) I developed severe Emetophobia at age 6 and then after 7 years of panic attacks and anxiety, at age 13 i got to the point where I was laying in bed for hours all day everyday begging my mom for a new type of medicine (I had previously been taking Mirtazipine for 5 years and it seemed to stop working) so I got prescribed with 5mg Lexapro  (liquid form) at 10 ml a day. It worked very quickly and I began to feel normal again. I was able to actually leave the house again without panicking and my anxiety decreased dramatically. It changed my life so much and has made me a lot less anxious. I didn't experience any side effects except for suicidal thoughts. those lasted for a few months."


"I feel good after taking levaquin because I feel the medicine is working. I was being cured. I admit that it is expensive but it is worth it. It really works!"


"I got this as a pain reliever in the hospital in liquid for after my gall bladder was removed. My pharmacist at Walgreen's told me that they have Dilaudid, but only in tablet form, you have to ask your doctor to prescribe it because most especially dentists don't even know what it is."


"I have been on Trinessa now for about three months, and I love it! I was very hesitant going into it after reading many bad reviews, but so far its been smooth sailing. I have not had any breakthrough bleeding, I just get mild morning stomach aches after my period ends and I start a new pack. Mild mood swings, but nothing I can't handle. This is the first birth control I've been on, so I don't have anything to compare to, but I love it!"


"Injection site sore for weeks. If in belly, get it beyond belt line. If in underarm, get injections 2 in apart. Day 1, little effect, day 3 start of weakness, day 5 make sure couch fits. 3 days after last injection, start of recovery. Day 5, 2 pints of blood does wonders, day 14 after injection, just hanging on. Maybe another blood pint to help, Day 1, oh gosh here we go again. no vomiting, just strength crashing."


"I have periorial dermatitis. The rash has worsened. My face looks horrible. There is itching, burning and redness."


"Transxemic Acid has definitely helped reduce the heavy bleeding that I experience during my periods. I find that often I only need 1-4 tablets to see a significant difference. Another bonus is that the pain has also reduced too but has not completely gone away which was expected anyway."


"I was scared to try birth control for the first time, especially after reading the horror stories here. But people only post things if something happens. For me, nothing has happened. The first day I had crazy mood swings, but maybe it was placebo effect.
I was scared that I would lose all my progress with depression, but actually nothing has happened. I'm still the cheerful, calm person I was before starting it.
The rest of the week nothing happened. I even forgot I'm taking BC at all. I guess I did break out a lot more and my skin's pretty raw, but I'm only on it for Accutane so it'll be fun to see the chemicals duke it out."


"This pill definitely took away my tention headaches but I did notice I was wanting to use it and started to use even though I had no headache.  I went back and got a refill from my doctor. When I ran out again went back for my follow up she asked if I needed it filled I declined knowing I was going to use it just to use it. I did find it to be addictive."


"After I had my baby i was in constant stress recovering from my csection to having take care of my two toddlers and a newborn baby . I started having terrible panic attacks that would last all day . I was completly housebound . So i went to see my dr and he prescribed zoloft 25 mgs .i was always afraid to take medicines but my condition got to the point where i needed to try .I needed help i had 3 babies that rely on me . So i started zoloft 25 mgs the anxiety got worse for a whole month and a half .I waited it out because dr said it takes time to work . And he was right !!! After a month and a half i was a different person the attacks stopped . I havnt had an attack for almost a year now .im still at the same dosage too , only 25 mgs"


"My husband has only been taking Pentasa for a few days, but he has had terrible side effects since day one.  His Crohn's had become progressively worse over the years so his GI doctor prescribed Pentasa. He has chest pains, headaches, severe nausea and vomiting as well as loss of appetite.  I saw that one person had to lower his dose after 3 weeks, and I wonder if that was due to his experience of these effects also.  I know Pentasa has great potential, but how long will these effects last?"


"I took this pill about 5 hours after sex. It was easy to purchase over the counter. I was very nervous to take it after reading about side effects.

The day if I had almost no side effects.

A few days later I started developing very sore breasts and feeling a bit nauseated. Very mild nausea but noticeable.

I bled about a week before my expected period. Then again for a few days when I expected my period. Then about a week later I started bleeding again very heavily and it lasted over a week. When the last "period" started my nipple soreness stopped, but nausea, cramping, and abdominal pain all increased. It's finally getting better.

It worked - not pregnant, but definitely messed up my hormones and my cycle a lot."


"Started the pill April 30th weighing 270.8. First day felt a little different. Was really hot the whole day. The pill completely took away my appetite had to force myself to eat because I was getting an head ache. Next day was much better still didn't eat at all maybe 500 calories I wasn't hot at all, felt very good but a little nervous. As of yesterday I weigh 262.4 a  total of 8.4 pounds lost. Went for my weigh in yesterday and the nurse was very happy felt really good.  I did change my eating habits grilled or baked chicken, fruit, yogurt etc. I do still eat something sweet maybe  2 times a week but every small amount. I do want to start working out would lost alot more. My mom is also taking the pill and lost 8 pounds We started on the same day"


"I'm a male and about as soon as I hit puberty (around 11-12) I got the full force of whiteheads on my forehead. It was terrible. I was self-conscious and confidence deprived. I started using Proactive, which didn't work and it irritated my skin very bad. My forehead acne gradually went away on its own though, but another hurdle arose; it returned everywhere else on my face. This problem would stay until I was 16. Throughout those years I was prescribed different meds like Solodyn & Doryx, which didn't really do anything for me. The summer of 2017 I went to the derm to be prescribed Accutane. I'm just left with a little hyperpigmentation. Only real side-effect is very dry lips that are manageable with Aquaphor."


"I have been on it for 16 days now. Lost 17lbs. I%u2019m 50 years old, 6%u20190%u2033 tall and weighed 245 lbs. currently weighing in @ 227/228. My only side effects were dry mouth, which is not too bad, considering my lack of water intake. Another was great sleep. You have to watch yourself, because you have to force yourself to eat. If not, you can have a lack of energy, slight light head. When I do eat, I find myself eating much healthier. Cutting back beef and carbs. My plan is to stay on it till I reach my goal of 200 lbs. I%u2019m hoping I can achieve my goal in the next 3-4 weeks. The manufacturer has a free 15 day trial, so you can try it and see how it goes! I highly recommend Belviq.
Good luck!"

"Worked fantastically well after a short period of side effects (stomach pain and other gastrointestinal issues). Psoriasis has practically cleared, leaving only pale patches where it had been. Experienced significant weight loss, likely due to the stomach issues."


"The day you are diagnosed with HSV2 is an incredibly traumatic experience. Everyone's first thought is, "who would want to be with me now?" The social stigma of the virus has always been greater than the reality of it. I, like many of you, struggled with the idea of living with it until I was given Valtrex. It looks like a horse pill, but it suppresses the virus so much that I forget I even have it. I hope there will be a cure in the next 5 years, but until then, Valtrex will be more than sufficient. Hang in there, everyone, it's more common than you think!"


"I'm 21 with no kids. I got the Skyla put in today after reading these scary reviews and ..yeah it hurts , I won't lie to you. Y'all ..I wanted to bite my gyno's head off but true enough it only lasted like 30 seconds tops. It's super quick , I went into the Dr office at like 3pm and was in my car headed home at 3:15pm . Lol I didn't bleed during the process but around 8pm I started spotting and the pain is gone. I'll be back soon to update everything ! :)"


"Been on it for 12 years, and couldn't stand the anxiety attacks any more, now I hardly have any attacks. This medicine works for me."


"My first period I got after getting on nexplanon lasted for a month. I am on my second period since getting on it and I have bleed for 3 months straight. I am more emotional than I have ever been in my life this thing is awful I can't wait to get it removed."


"*Not pregnant *
I had unprotected sex October the 2 my partner did not finish inside me but ethier way you should never have unprotected sex : I learned my lesson so I took plan b 3 days after and I was stressing out so much I stopped eating that every morning after I took the pill I threw up stomach bile it was my worst nightmare and I started waking up before my alarm even hit and woke up every morning with a abnormal heart beat which I think was just all my anxiety and me not eating right and keep in mind I'm already skinny about 118 pounds  after a week from taking the pill I bled at first is was brown the night before it started and then the next morning it went heavy bright red for 4 days but my period was due in 2 weeks and came again"


"Most awesome medicine I've ever been prescribed. I can focus, I am not irritable. I feel like I have a life now. Thank you Vyvanse."


"I've been using this January 17, 2016 and it's really great! I've had acne for 4 years and it feels great having smooth skin!! I recommend this to you if you have severe acne or just any acne at all. I also had dark spots from where I used to pick at my acne and they are slowly but surely disappearing with Tazarotene (cream) it prevents from new acne to form"


"Physicians are way too excited about Linzess.  It definitely does not work for everyone and not exactly as indicated.  The first three days I took it were fine.  Then no effect for two days.  Then incredible pain.  I asked the doctor if I could try a lower dose.  Was advised to take it at bedtime!?  Definitely not a good idea when part of the problem was extreme diarrhea.  Quit taking it for two weeks.  Went back and tried one tablet.  Dizziness, wobbly, weakness, malaise.

Does it treat constipation, yes.  But it is a guanylate cyclase agonist , so, of course, it has systemic effects.

When are too many side effects too much to even put a drug on the market?"


Osteolytic Bone Metastases of Solid Tumors

"Side effects: Hair Loss. Dehydration."


"I am on day 4 taking the medication. The only side effect I had was on day 1. The best way to describe it is that fuzzy a little sick to your stomach feeling you have when you step off a roller coaster. It only lasted the first day and was very tolerable. If you eat a tiny protein snack every 3 hours I think it helps or In my case prevents the nausea. So I'm on day 4 and I'm down 3 and a half pounds. I am struggling with weight gain due to menopause and my doctor thought contrave could be the help I need. I am also doing Leslie Sansone's Miracle Miles in home walking program. I am so hopeful that this works!! I will update in a few weeks."


"We use this at our hospital for patients who are still awake but less than 50 blood glucose level."


"Going into week 2 and my side effects has subsided. I feel pretty good I must say. Will keep you posted week by week."


"I have been on this medication for maintenance for at least 20 years.  I have not had a bleeding episode since I started.  Also, I have experienced no side effects.  I don't know how others would tolerate it, but for me it really has worked.  I have had Crohn's Disease over 40 years."


"I'm 30 and have had no children. The IUD placement was sooo painful that my body went into shock but the pain lasted about 10 minutes and that was that. I've had my IUD for a month and a half now and so far I love it!! I've had no side effects at all. I stopped spotting after 2 weeks and haven't had any limitations intimately or fitness-wise! (Boyfriend can't feel it either) No more pills for me! I'm so happy I did this for myself!"


"I don't have as many crying spells as I used to."


"This somewhat reduced my restless legs syndrome (which occurs every other day and is enough to keep me up at night and be bothersome); however, this gave me insomnia, specifically causing me trouble falling asleep and once I was finally able to fall asleep, I would wake up once every two hours or so."


"I had a clonidine patch to help me withdraw from oxycodone (as prescribed for foot/ankle surgery). The patch helped with that, and my doctor continued to prescribe it for a year, as he felt it would take that long to truely recover. He also treats me for ADHD (it is used in conjunction with stimulants sometimes), but after a year we dropped it. It's stabilizing I guess."


"Great antibiotic, cleared away my sinusitis, however been an insomniac for the past couple of days."


"I had a severe allergic Reaction to the whole medication . It caused me to break out into a really serious rash .Please be careful ladies this experience wasn't fun ."


"I started this medication a week ago and have had very vivid dreams. I used to wake up with rib and hip pain/stiffness. I also couldn't relax and lay in bed because my body just felt restless. I would say that on day 2, I woke up almost completely relaxed and nearly no stiffness. I also started taking Celebrex on the same day, so I'm not sure if it's the combination of the two or one or the other, but I feel so much better. I am a 31 year old female and mom of a 1.5 year old."


"It made me incredibly sleepy, which was a bonus. I took the medication combined with Lexapro, and gained 20 lbs in my first 3 months on both. Since I got off Seroquel my weight returned to normal."


"Enjuvia helped me with my sudden menopausal symptoms after I had to have a hysterectomy at 47 but I have gained a tremendous amount of weight on it. (60 lbs, at least).  I don't know for sure that it was the Enjuvia, but I was slim before I started taking it and now am obese.  I ran out of it recently and noticed that I immediately started to lose weight, without even trying.  I will update my review when I have been off of it longer.  I have been at my wits end trying to lose weight, so hopefully this will help."


"Was using Pulmicort for years for asthma maintenance; I found it made a difference but would stop working for periods of time.  I asked my physician to switch me to something else and she put me on this.  A marked difference.  This has a steroid as well as a stimulant (to open your lungs upon inhalation, much like a rescue inhaler, which Pulmicort did not have).  I forgot to refill my Advair this month (I mail order three months at a time with my insurance, WAY cheaper) and have been without for about 4 days.  I can definitely tell the difference.  My rescue inhaler use has gone up, and subsequently goes way down (to almost nonexistent) when I'm on Advair.  Highly recommended."


"My son takes this. Best medication he has been on that works. Just hard to get as it's always on back order."


"I'm 25 years old and still get those under the skin cystic pimples on my face. It is mild but one or two of those monsters just stand out. I've tried Retin-A, every single face wash I can think of, oil free moisturizers, toners, oil free make up. I mean I've done it even the DIY remedy for acne. Well, the dermatologist put me on Bactrim and I have been on it now for about 4 weeks and my face is CLEAR. I mean I've NEVER seen it this clear! I'm just looking at the mirror all the time because I cannot believe it. Very happy with results. He said I would have to be on them for a while. But I'm okay with it. It does cause a little nausea but it's nothing I can't handle and it doesn't last too long. Overall very happy."


"Used the ring for 6 months.  I gained 20 pounds. I went from 120 to 140. Its not very easy for me to gain weight. Had a lot of discharge that made it extremely uncomfortable. I never get yeast infections and got one on the ring. And my sex drive went way down on the ring. I am switching back to the pill cause I've never had any problems with the pill only minor and I've used the pill for 3  years."


"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."


"I have degenerative disc disease and foraminal stenosis and am in chronic pain. I've tried all sorts of pain relievers from the weakest all the way up to fentanyl.
The other day I was in incredible pain and someone gave me a 75mg diclofenac. I researched it and reviews were very positive, so I tried it. Amazingly, it worked great and very fast. "


"I have been using 5 milligram oxycodone 30 milligrams a day for 10 years straight. No addiction issues no craving more it still works. I've got C3 through C6 bulging discs in different directions. I don't crave more I find it if you take it when your body dip takes the pain in other words just because it's 8 a.m. there's no reason to take 10 milligrams my bottle says 10 milligrams every 8 hours for pain. But if it's 6 a.m. I Take 5 milligrams and then I don't need another pill so later as long as I do not ever take more than 30 milligrams in 24 hour. By doing this I've been able to maintain pain relief and not need anymore the medication is still effective. Not all people are addicts"


"I also have degenerative disk disease, which I have recently had Lumbar Fusion surgery for. My doctor prescribed Percocet 10/325, along with Flexeril 10mg. The two together took all of the pain away and I was able to continue to be mobile during the day."


"I hate this pill and I wish I never would've tried it. I had a cyst on one of my ovaries that ruptured and it caused me to have a period for a month or two straight so my doctor put me on this pill. I have gained weight, my chin is constantly broken out, I had absolutely no sex drive and worst of all, my emotions are crazy. It's taken a toll on my relationship. I cry about the dumbest things. I was never like this before I took those pills. I quit taking it before I finished the first month because I got to the point to where I hated myself and everyone around me. I haven't taken it in months and I still have days where I feel miserable and my sex drive has not gotten better yet at all. I do not recommend this pill at all. It has ruined me."


"Gave me severe constipation. I've had to take laxatives, have gas pains and bloated more than before"


"I am 33 years old and started taking these pills the first day of my period on September 26, 2015. This was my first time using birth control since 2012. I bleed for 15 days and then very light on the 16th day. On the 17th day, October 12th I saw no bleeding. It is October 19 and I started to bleed again yesterday morning, October 18. I don't understand why I'm having a second bout with a period not more than 1 week later from my first period. All my life my periods lasted no more than 5 days. The only other birth control I used was Ortho tri Cyclen and my periods only lasted 5 days. I'm going to a gynecologist today as I consider to switch birth controls."


"I've been on this pill for about 3 months now and I am really considering changing it. I have a really weird period side effect where it changes the color of my period & it makes it come early or late & it always makes me scared that I'm pregnant. Plus I can never loose weight being on this pill. Lastly, the pill makes me very moody as well. I am going to talk to my doctor about it at the end of the month."


"So everyone severe anxiety/panic episodes since 2011. I take Buspar 2xa day- worked for about a year then took Xanax when needed and stayed on Buspar. Now I take Celexa and what a lifesaver. Everyday was panic, anxiety, hypochondria - horrible - thank you Dr!!!"


"I started this med before a weight loss program. My problem was emotional eating. I've been taking it for a month.  I feel great. I find the nervous eating has stopped. My appetite has dropped tremendously.  Only side effect I am thirsty all the time which is okay anyway, I drink lots more water.  From reading all the remarks about this drug, its probably isn't for every one, but so are some other drugs. I can't take antibiotics.  I highly recommend this drug for weight loss. I've lost 8 lbs."


"This thing works! I can't imagine having a child I can't support. Long story short, heat of the moment unprotected sex with a woman I wasn't in a relationship with. I irresponsibly came inside of her during sex but I kept going. We took the plan B pill about a hour and a half  after our incident and the stress began. I got sick from stressing and was relieved to find out that it worked. A little FYI, I didn't know her cycle and she was very tall for a woman so I'm assuming she was over the weight limit so mythical busted. Thank Jesus for Plan B! If you take it early and before she has ovulated, you're pretty much golden. I learned my lesson for sure."


"Better than anything I have tried for heat-induced hives."


"I tried other allergy medicines like Zyrtec, but none of them had any effect on my itchy eyes.  Xyzal is great for me because it treated the usual Hay Fever symptoms, as well as the itchy eyes.  Taking it at night, as recommended, seems to help reduce the drowsy side effect from bothering me in the day."


"I went to the ER also last month because I was having bad migraines they gave me reglan and benadryl in the IV right away I was  paranoid jittery  and tried pulling the IV  out my arm it was the worst feeling ever and I was so ready to go home. The good thing is that it did take my migraine away for about a month  now. I just started having another migraine yesterday and I went to the ER 11-13-15 and they gave me the benadryl  and reglan in the form of a pill - no IV  and I didn't get that feeling this time just went to sleep really fast. I think it was the  medicine going start in the  IV straight to my blood stream a little to fast that gave me the bad side effects."


"3rd colonoscopy. Cost $65 after insurance!

First dose at 6pm. Very palatable. Drank 5 cups liquid as instructed. Medicine started working within an hour, but the trips were very spaced out. By 10pm dose I was no where near "running clear." Was supposed to drink 3 more cups by 12, but only managed 2. Still slow going - in bathroom every hour right up to procedure. Needless to say, I was exhausted. I told the doc I wasn't sure I was cleaned out but after the procedure she said it was ok (and I'm cleared for 5 yrs!)

But - terrible cramps after procedure. Asked husband to stay near because I thought I'd faint from pain. And 24 hrs after dose 1 I'm still prepping. Food is going right through me. Never again. Drink tons of water if you try it."


"Love it, no issues. Got it after I had my second baby and started getting my period monthly again after I stopped breast feeding.  Started to lose weight now with no issues and is working great."


"I've had migraines for years and have been given everything for them.  I also believe I've gone through every triptan that one could imagine.  This medicine has been phenomenal in relieving really tough migraine pain.  Within 30 minutes I can get relief.  Also, I like that you can get it in sublingual form.  Sometimes my migraines are so bad that I'm constantly throwing up everything.  When I'm nauseous the sublingual form is wonderful, however, it also comes in a tiny tablet.  I keep this with me at all times.  It has saved me from multiple hospital visits in the past.  Hope this helps!"


"This medication really works! I lost 11.9 pounds in one month!"


"If I could give this a negative rating I would . . . I had treated a yeast infection some months back thinking nothing of it grabbing the usual Monostat 1.  Applied before bed woke up the next morning with the WORST pain, my crotch was swollen, painful and radiating heat!  I sucked it up that day but soon bought douche.  Once I washed it out the pain and swelling went down.  Today like an idiot am finding myself debating which treatment to use and find that the one day cream is the ONLY monostat treatment with this drug in it.  Stand in the aisle debating but go with it anyways. . . BIG MISTAKE.  Started feeling burning within 5 minutes of application.  Washed out what I could and crossing my fingers for tomorrow =/"


"I have had such bad side effects with many psychiatric drugs. Could not tolerate Zoloft, Lexapro, or Lamictal, and Prozac stopped working after a while. Trintellix has been a life saver and has caused NO nausea! In fact it also blocks the same receptor that many anti-nausea medications block. So for people who say they get nauseous on it, I think it's just a placebo effect for them. There's also a coupon on the website so I only have to pay $10/month. Only downside is it doesn't seem to help anxiety"


"Third colonoscopy, first time with this prep.

Positive: can eat eggs and cheese the day before the procedure

Negative: Expensive and did not completely clean me out

I did the 2 step process. 4pm day before tool the initial dose followed by five 8 oz glasses of water. Experienced results in 1 1/2 hour and then for the next 8 hours. The next morning at 4:15 took the 2nd dose followed by five glasses of water with NO results whatsoever. Nothing. Called the endoscopy clinic at 7am and they said to come in early for my appointment. I had to have a tap water enema to finish the prep. My colonoscopy was at 10:45am and I was home by 1pm. At 4:00pm I started getting explosive watery stools like the prep started working 8 hours later!"


"I have been on Bupropion xl 150 mg for 3 months. The major side effect is my sex drive has diminished and my erections are non-erections. I get a little hard and then during sex I go soft. I am calling my Dr today. It did help with the depression but, I'd rather be depressed then lose my sex drive."


"I have Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, and severe ADHD. I took Wellbutrin for four days and at first it was fine then I quickly developed hot flashes and eventually started freaking out and having unrelenting suicidal thoughts. Guess it just didn't work for me, but it didn't make me tired."


"Yay! This is the miracle pill. I'm not pregnant. Had sex at 12:45 comdom broke at one. 10:00 am that morning I took the Plan B One Step pill immediately. Five days later I started my cycle."


"I have been on this birth control for 5 months now and I love it. However, for the first two months I had irregular spotting and cramping. This eventually went away, I'm assuming it was just my body adjusting to the change. I would recommend this birth control to anyone."


"Before taking Remeron I was on other strong medicines. The first night I slept better than in years. I feel like I could keep sleeping in the morning but am able to get up and feel refreshed. This medicine seems to be the thing I have needed where others have failed me miserably. The medicine takes effect fast and has little side effects so far. I hope others have the sames success I have had with Remeron."


"Complete Thyroidectemy for cancer and two HUGE goiters with several nodules; which were crushing my esophagus.  Immediately put on Thyroxine and became deathly ill within 2 days.  I malabsorb Thyroxine and am severely allergic to lactose, acacia (grass) & sugar.  Dr. insisted on increasing dosage, rather than listening to me; as seems to the usual.  I am still looking for a Dr. with more knowledge about Armour Thyroid than me, because I am still very ill.  But, I would have DIED on Thyroxine and IF I had kept WATCHING my goiter.  The surgeon came out shocked by the 'grapefruit' size.   Cancer was almost secondary.   Drs. aren't even being taught about Armour Thyroid today.  So sad and SO FRIGHTENING.  Is this a way to kill off more seniors?"


"I have been on Cymbalta now for almost a year and I feel great. The downside is the isomnia but no other side effects."


"I started the sample pen on April 21st. I am down 12 pounds but haven't lost any in the last 7 days. On Monday May 9th I had strong chest pains while walking to the car ..... It felt like a giant elephant was sitting on my chest, my husband called 911 and I was brought to the hospital. I reported I was on saxenda but no one said much about.... My heart was healthily n they told me to follow up with my gallbladder. I took my 1.2 dose Monday and none Tuesday cause I read online about gallstones.... Has anyone had any problems like this????"


"I've had IBS for many years along with anxiety as well as mitral valve prolapse syndrome. I've been given several different meds but good old Librax keeps me stable. I do not abuse it which my doc knows but I never run out of having it.   I have found the generic does just as well for me.  It's an old medicine and many doctors do not choose to use it. I've taken as many as 5 a day and as few as 1.  It calms me so much better than other meds such as Paxil or Lexapro.   It has absolutely saved me!!"


"Started Invokana 100 mg about a month ago. Only side effect is some yeast infection, but not bad. I had been on 100 units of Levemir and 100 units Novolog with blood sugars still in the 200-400 range at times and fasting blood sugars never below 200 range. Now, my fasting blood sugars are 120-140 range and my insulin has been decreased to 50 units of Levemir and 30 units of Novolog. So, doctor has increased the Invokana to 300 mg..Hoping to be off Insulin soon. Oh, and I have lost 6 pounds in the process. The key to this medication is to DRINK plenty of water to stay hydrated, have your kidney functions checked at least twice a year and monitor for any side effects."


"I had no side effects. On April 13 2013 I started taking Chantix, on April 26 10:30 PM  2013 I stopped smoking."


"I got prescribed 50mg of the generic vistaril and took one. Woah. It knocked me out so bad and then all the next day I had a hangover feeling.

I now take 12.5mg and now it helps me sleep but I still have a major hangover feeling the next day and want to just sleep and sleep."


"I've been taking Sprintec for 2 months now and it has worked very well. Before I would have horrible cramps and be sick for the first 3 days but now nothing happens at all. I have experienced a little spotting here and there but other than that it has worked very well with my body."


"To start off, in most cases, plan b works. I'm 18 and had sex for the first time. Unfortunately, the condom broke. After about 2 hours, I took the pill. I did not experience any side effects besides the bleeding. I bled 4 days after taking the pill. (Common) then my period's original date came and still no period. After 2 weeks of waiting, I finally got my period. Don't worry ladies, stress can make it come later so try not to stress and just relax. As long as your weight is under 165 lbs and you take the pill within 72 hours, you should have no problems!"


"Very fast acting. No BG spike after meal. If my A1C reacts as expected this is a life changer."


"Never in my life have I written a review for anything i've taken, yet I felt the need to write this as I suffered the same symptoms as many people that has already reviewed. I only wore black t shirts or tanks, could never wear color due to sweating like a dog in my armpits for no reason. Large, visible dark wet spots under my arm for no reason just sitting in class. Was pessimistic about Hypercare as many things haven't worked in the past but take my word for it: this stuff will change your life! Take your chance and free yourself of the silent trauma of sweating profusely."


"I started this medicine five weeks ago and I'm down 22lbs. Some jitters, some insomnia, some constipation, but not enough to stop the meds.  I've always been an emotional eater and with this medicine I don't even think about eating, and I have no desire to snack. This medicine absolutely addresses my food addiction."


"I took imovane for 2 months earlier this year to help with insomnia caused by anxiety from a health scare. It worked great in putting me to sleep in minimal time. The taste wasn't ideal but not a big issue, and I had no other side effects. But on stopping my underlying anxiety increased. I recommend it more for occasional use to avoid psychological dependancy."


"Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) - I took Prempro for two years after becoming menopausal at age 40. When it stopped working a year ago, I was changed to a daily combination of Premarin 1.25 and medroxyprogesterone 2.5. Without HRT I experience irritability and irrational rage, hot flashes, and a non-existent sex drive. The current HRT which includes Premarin, works very well for me.  It is frustrating how difficult it is for a woman in her 40s to be taken seriously by the medical community for complaints of low libido. (Consider Viagra, etc. for men). Every year my doctors suggest I give up this medication therapy that increases my quality of life 100%. I'm 43 and so far I'm winning, but I expect that I will have to keep fighting."


"I was on Demulin and Zovia from the first time I got my period until three months ago, I'm 35, so literally 20 years. I LOVED that pill. No side effects and a very light period like clockwork down to the hour. After turning 35 my doctor said I needed a low estrogen pill and she switched me to Gildess. First month I had tender breasts, which never happened before, cramping, and my period lasted over a week. Second month I started getting nauseous every day, bad cramps, but only got my period for an hour. Four days ago I started my third month and I've been so sick. Debilitating cramps, severe nausea and overall feel like death. The doctor told me today to stop the pill right away. I've never in my 35 years of life felt this sick from BC."


"Been on Zoloft for 14 years and love it. No more panic attacks and still able to have a wonderful sex life."

"I have been taking Victoza for about 5 weeks. My sugar is stable. I do not have the big drops and hunger attacks. One reading was 110, but most have been 150. I am praying for it to become stable at 100-120. Some have experienced weight loss. I have not measured it; yet, I seem to noticed taking a belt loop tighter."


"I have been inflicted with an inner ear problem for 40 years. I have been to so many specialist who could not find the cause.  The flare ups are devastating and cause me to have dizzy spells that last for a few minutes each time.  It occurs when I change head positions in a hurry.  When the episodes occur, a combination of Valium and a vertigo medicine works fine. After a few days, I'm back to normal. It has been a blessing and allowed me to keep my job in law enforcement for many years until I retired.  The only other alternative was to surgically serve my nerves in my ears so that I would not experience the symptoms. The doctors all agreed this was too drastic and if the medicine works, to stay with it."


"Very good (one of the best in my experience) pain drug but beware. It is VERY addicting with horrible withdrawal symptoms if you don't have help to get off of it."


"Took Fetzima 40mg for first time last night, kept waking up all night, horrible gas, woke in the morning(5am) and had to throw up, also had excessive sweating, headache, overall sour stomach. Will not continue taking medication, have never had such a bad reaction to antidepressant before today."


"I got switched from Aubra to Vienva and it was such a smooth transition. This birth control is great! I have not experienced anything abnormal with my body, I’ve stayed the same. I have noticed my skin has cleared up a bit more, there are those occasional zits here and there but thats normal. I would recommend this birth control but everyone’s body is different so who knows, but by far it has been a great experience."


"I was on the fentanyl pain patch 75 mcg & 2 Percocet 10/325 for neck surgery that never healed. I wanted to stop but I already knew what stopping without help would make me very very sick. So I went to A place that charged me $90.00 a week for a dosage of 75 mg daily plus NA meetings as many as I needed. All was great after a year no more cravings so I decided to taper off and hope the neck pain would be tolerable. So after 2 months of tapering I was finally clean & sober. (I thought) My last dose was Thursday morning and by 4:00 am Sunday morning the withdrawal I tried to avoid happens. Throwing up nothing but bile cause I couldn't eat or drink anything than after about 36 hours of that, the runs come and stay for about day & 1/2. "


"Severe headaches, edema of both feet, felt disoriented. All went away when I stopped taking the drug."


"I have been using this for years for my migraines. I was on the lower dose until the last 6 months. My dosage was increased because the lower dose quit working for me. I would have to take one, wait 2 hours then take a 2nd one, and most of the time I ended up in the ER for a "migraine cocktail" because it wouldn't go away. ANYWAY, after my dosage was increased it worked for me again. I do not have any side effects at all and it does not make me loopy or tired. I can get back to my day within about 30-45 minutes after taking it. I would recommend it!"


"It tasted like a nice aged sharp cheddar"


"I was suffering extreme anxiety, weight loss and insomnia due to a diagnosed medical condition.  I tried several sleep aids and SSRIs.  Nothing worked.  Because of the weight loss I was prescribed Remeron.  It was a Miracle for me!  I slept through the night for the first time in months, relieved anxiety and I started gaining weight.  Over time, my anxiety went away, but I stayed on because I loved having an appetite (I had no appetite for years).  I guess I stayed on too long.  After 6 years I decided I should get off.  I was dependent. I suffered flu like symptoms for weeks--nausea, exhaustion, gastrointestinal upset, feeling like low-grade fever.  I finally got rid of the nausea, but if I'm off for 2 weeks, the gastrointestinal upset creeps in.  I now take 3.25mg 1X week."


"For the first 3 months everything was dandy until I found out that in those 3 months I got pregnant I got this to prevent anything like that happen, however my nurse didn't inform me that certain pills can reduce its efficiency, I ended up having a miscarriage.
So I put that failure down to lack of knowledge, as time went on I had 2 months of no period then an entire month of bleeding. I've been getting spots and hot flushes caused by this, not to mention I've suffered from severe depression and anxiety caused by the implanon which caused me to stop eating because I had constant knots in my stomach and despite this no eating I've went up 3 dress sizes!
I suggest getting the 3 month jab and seeing your reaction it may not be horrible for everyone."


"This medication has gave me my quality of life back. I have fibromyalgia and was diagnosed at 23yrs old. I started out with 5/325mg 3x a day and 4 yrs later am on 10/325 mg 4x a day. Be careful because this medication is habit forming but in combo with gabapentin and cymbalta, it works for me. By the way, I read someones comment about lortab being the same as Norco, and they are not identical. The difference is the mg of  (tylenol). Hope this was helpful."


"I was prescribed 5mg of Abilify as a 'booster' to the Wellbutrin 200mg I have been taking for over 5 years. The combination is great! I felt like myself in only a few days and it has continued to be effective over the past 18 months that I've been on the combination. I would highly recommend talking to your doctor about this, it has changed my life!"


"Effexor has been good for my work life, it has given me energy to get things done, and to not stress as much about anything, including social interactions. It sort of numbs my emotions which has been good because I usually cry easily, and get easily bitter. I don't get overIy happy tho. I also like how I don't feel like I'm on a drug, my mind isn't cloudy. I have trouble when it comes to working on projects at home, projects I used to work on so easily now stress me out just thinking about the process of it all. I have an unusually strong urge to bite my nails, crazy dreams (which is fine), lethargic. Appetite fine except when changing my dose."


"Let me start by saying I have not had paragard long just a few days over a month now. Insertion was fine. I took 4 ibuprofen an hour before my appointment. I wouldn't say it was painful but it was awkwardly uncomfortable because the feeling is like nothing you've ever felt. I did have spotting after. The cramps were terrible about 6 hours later. I was rotating between tylenol and ibuprofen an it still felt like the early contractions I had when I had my daughter. I had these off and on the first couple wks. But now I can't feel it and hubby does';t feel it during sex so its been so far so good."


"This is by far the best anxiety medication on the market for immediate help it takes about 10 min. To feel the effects and it is wonderful it's immediate relaxation. I had anxiety about 5 years ago and Ativan cured it. Unfortunately I have been under a lot of financial stress lately and it started bothering me again so my doc put me back on them and it has already killed the anxiety again. Definitely a miracle drug be careful they are for short term only. "


"My "episode" started when my marriage was falling apart. I thought I was handling it well until I just started crying uncontrollably. I was prescribed a number of antidepressants none of which worked. Then about 6 years ago I started on Celexa. I had no side effects and it has worked perfectly for me. I just increased to 40 mg due to some extremely challenging changes in my life. Again I have had no side effects; I am in control of my emotions and not feeling over medicated. This has been a godsend for me and I am comfortable telling people about it."


"I'm updating; it has now been a month with Kyleena.. Insertion was really the least of my worries and it went over painful, but very fast. My period started 3 days after insertion and lasted about 4 days - very light and no cramps at all (usually I'm cramping quiet heavy!). But ever since I experience spotting, very light, only noticeable when wiping but still, I really hope this will stop soon. I haven't noticed any other side effects, but I will for sure track my weight and see how my Skin changes. I've already gotten my sex drive back, which I completely lost with the nuva ring. Now only the spotting has to stop and I'm totally happy with this IUD."


"After 125 standard allergy tests and told "no reaction" I was pronounced as having "chronic non-allergic vasomotor rhinitis". I truly believe that my biggest problem was from corticosteroid nasal sprays prescribed, but never overused. I've found phenylephrine has helped in a variable increased dose. When the wind blows primarily in the fall, whatever is out there causes my problem. If I take 2 10mg to start my day, I'm in good shape with the regular dose the rest of the day."


"The insertion was excruciating. The entire time I had it, I felt a dull pain localized to my cervix (I couldn't even touch my cervix because it would send a shooting pain up my uterus). It made sex impossible because my partner would feel the strings, I would get sharp shooting pains during penetration, and my natural lubrication was non-existent. I would bleed after sex and have cramps for days afterwards, with sharp localized pain. Three months in, it travelled upwards and I got it removed. I've been bleeding for two weeks now, with huge blood clots and soaking through super tampons in less than two hours. I've been breaking out."


"I took this medication for inflammation of my nose, and having hard time to breath and also nose dripping,.  My doctor said I will see the result in one month, however I saw the result the very first time, today is the third day I used the drop. It is fantastic, the more I use it, the more I feel comfortable to breath. I loved it, breathing is much easier."


"Although this medication did decrease my daughters absence seizures, if she took this at any time 30 min before or after eating, she had a severe reaction.  Her throat would burn inside and out, her face would flush, she would get dizzy and unable to focus. This would last about 5-10 min. and then she would get so tired, she would instantly fall asleep and sleep for hours.  She was at a pretty high dose during this time 1050mg 2x daily.  We finally stopped this medication, because of the stress of having to watch so closely when she ate and when she could take this medication."


"I got nexplanon April 2015 and the first month my hormones had me angry at everything. Then at the end of the month I started my period and it didn't stop until September. Then it restarted the next month and I'm still on it, almost a year after getting it put in I have basically been on my period. I have plans to get it out as soon as my insurance issues get worked out. I will never use it again and I will never recommend anyone to use it. Its not worth being on your period nonstop."


"Okay so buspar was the first medicine I took and it helped with my anxiety tremendously but the side effects sucked. I'm a female and only weigh about 115 so I'm not sure if that's why the side effects impacted me so much or what. The first day I was on it, I was fine. The only problem was I felt a little dizzy after the first 10 min of taking it but then I was fine and I would go about my regular day and I felt amazing. I took this pill everyday for about 4 days and felt fine but then one day after I took it, I was so dizzy, I could barely stand up and then I felt nauseous all day long. It was not fun. So it's kind of a hit or miss with this medicine. You either take it and feel fine or you'll have bad side effects. At least for me anyways"


"I have been using rogaine for almost a year now for my stress related hair loss and it took a while to get any results. I didn't see much until the fourth month and at that time it was little fuzzy baby hairs along the hairline. Now at 11 months my hair has grown about an inch. It's a slow process but you will see results.  My problem is the price. Its cheaper to get it at the store then online, but you have to be vigilant and look around for the lowest price (time consuming) "


"Had 1st shot of Simponi and didn't notice any change. I was also taking 2 pills of methotrexate. Doc upped methotrexate to 6 pills. I had been getting muscle spasms intermittently since starting Simponi. After 3rd shot, I got the muscle spasms the next day and they lasted for a week. Doc took me off Simponi due to the muscle spasms and also because I didn't notice any change in AS. "


"Awful drug. I was on it for about a year straight and I could never comprehend anything. All though it did take away my anxiety it ruined my Brain. I couldn't retain information I always forgetting and misplacing things. Best thing I did was get off this drug. I swear it made dumb. I can't even remember words sometimes and when I was training at work on this medication I had such a hard time I would forget what was literally just taught to me. Since I been off of it now for about 6 months things have returned back to normal except for my vocabulary and spelling."


"Worst ever. Mood swings. Depressed. Doesn't feel like I get enough sleep. I get angry then sad for no real reason. I am also noticing an increase in appetite, break outs, no energy. This is the most horrible bc because one is not going to be able to function to lead a normal life. I'm so disappointed that it has cause irregular bleeding. "


"So I started noticing some symptoms of a yi right after starting amoxicillin (which was prescribed after having my wisdom teeth out). I went to cvs and bought the generic 7 day medication. Day 1, okay a little uncomfortable but not bad. Day 2, I had a terrible burning and itching after insertion and layed in bed for almost an hour before it went away. I'm on day 3 now and it's the same as day2. Itching worse than before and burning. Unsure if this is supposed to happen. Hopeful for the last few days"


"I have been on Vortioxetine for three months and it has been the only antidepressant that has ever worked for me. I have tried most of the alternatives meds and have years of taking therapy none of which worked. Although there are some initial side effects, mainly nausea and constipation for me, is worth persevering, as these wear off.

Although, I do feel slightly 'dumbed down' I don't see this as a particularly bad thing as I often used to over think everything and I now feel content for the first time in my life. I know 'one shoe doesn't fit all' but for my particular 'chemical imbalance' this drug has been life saving."


"I use this medication after 10 long years with  IBS D I already used it 14 months and for me working great, my life go back to normal"


"I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) years ago. Last year, I was referred to a doctor that specializes in this disease; at the time I first met him, I weighed a whopping 387 pounds (I%u2019m 5%u201910%u2019%u2019). Of course, the first thing he told me was that my PCOS would get better if I lost weight. I was totally discouraged! I told him that I was very active and had been on EVERY diet%u2026 nothing seemed to work. I was so frustrated and asked if there was anything he could do to jump start my weight loss from a medical stand point. This is when he told me about Victoza and about the study that demonstrated that individuals suffering from PCOS, not from Type 2 diabetes, had lost weight on this medication... I now weigh 275 pounds :)"


"I am a 53 year old male and have had extreme psoriasis since i was 21 years old, Humira has improved my life so much i have been taking this medicine for 3 months with little side affects as far as i can see.

i have been on holiday and for the first time , as long as i can recall, i have not felt ashamed to be by a pool and taking some sun in "GREAT feeling""


"I just finished my first month on this pill and so far so good. I was on Tarina fe 1/20 but it broke me out HORRIBLY so my doc switched me to trinessa. No weight gain, no stomach pains, no increase in acne AND no baby. Hopefully in a few months it'll clear my skin. A lot of ppl are saying this pill made them gain weight, I actually lost some & my boobs got a teeny bit fuller (not much tho). Without ins I pay $20 per pack at PP."


"Works great if you have flank pain from kidney stones/Polycystic Kidney Disease!"


"I usually had no problem with my period. Came every month for about 3 or 4 days max. Until this last month I had abnormal heavy bleeding, changing pads every hour. My doctor started me on progesterone despite the fact that I'm allergic to it. Insertion was very painful since my cervix is small and never had kids so insertion was painful and the lidocaine made my heart beat fast. I had really bad cramping after the procedure and still in pain. We will see if this helps me. "


"Worst akathesia - anxiety, very hyper, pacing, tachycardia."


"Been on this medication for 10 years now. Not much to complain about here. Tried to up dose from 20mg to 40mg during a difficult time but went went back down due to hypotension when getting up to quickly while sitting or laying."


"Love the way this patch works!  It completely halted my hot flashes. I'd give it a 10 but, more often than not, I have a devil of a time getting the backing off. It is very aggravating. At first, I thought I might have gotten a bad batch, but they're all like that. Once I get it on, it stays on without any problems. Please fix the backing!!"


"This medicine does work extremely well. It takes away all cravings. It is the best medication I have used to help complete my opioid free lifestyle."


"My permanently blocked and stuffed up nose cleared within about 3 days of starting this medication, it was fantastic until about two days later when I began to suffer some serious side effects; hives, conjunctivitis in one eye and flu-like aches and pains.  I felt so awful I quit taking the medication that day.  Now I'm too scared to try it again!  If it hadn't have been for the side effects I would've given 10/10."


"I can't believe I fell for the tamiflu scam! I took it the first day of symptoms. ..4 days and 100 dollars later I just get progressively worse! Don't fall for this products claims! It does not work!"


"I am a 31 year old female. I was given PrevPac to get rid of H pylori, which was the underlying cause of my chronic gastritis & terrible pain and discomfort in my chest from reflux & inflammation. I just completed the 14 day PrevPac kit. This treatment definitely works and I feel 100% better now that it's over. It takes time for it to fully kick in though. I started feeling relief at day 5 & felt 100% better at day 10. To me, my experience wasn't AS BAD as some of the reviews I read prior to starting the medication. Based on suggestions I read, I took a daily probiotic, which helped a lot with the side effects, so I recommend that.  The one constant symptom was the metallic taste in my mouth, especially when first waking up. But all I had to do was drink something and it went away. I had diarrhea a couple times, but nothing extreme. A few stomach aches/cramps as well. At the very end, I developed a little yeast infection (which can happen when taking antibiotics) but I easily got rid of it with over the counter meds. The side effects are very bearable. Overall, the most annoying thing for me was having to take so many pills at once and in one day and also the cost. After my insurance paid their part, I paid $75 dollars, which to me is a lot. But the packaging said before insurance it was about $750."


"This medication should be taken off the market.  It has too many FDA warnings on it for it ever to be taken lightly, and frankly I don't think it should be prescribed as a migraine preventative or for the vast majority of conditions above.

 I was only on it for 3 weeks, 1 week at 50 mg the other two at 25 mg.  This is what happened to me:

-Early signs of glaucoma (eye swelling and bloodshot eyes)

-Hearing loss that has yet to be reversed

-Fibromyalgia like symptoms

-Extreme tightness and muscle pain in my face and along my TMJ, which caused dysphagia, other problems

-Shortness of breath and heart issues

-Tremors, very bad tingling, and light flashes in my eyes which were not a product of my migraine

My advice? Avoid!!!"


"I have struggled with moderate to severe acne since high school (now 24) and have tried just about every product on the market including two rounds of accutane. Last week, I saw my Derm and she put me on Onexton,  as well as Retin-A. After less than a week of being on this combination my skin looks better than it has in months and I'm certain it is primarily due to Onexton. Fair warning- the first few days of this medication are very, very rough. I looked like a burn victim and my entire face was peeling, red and burning. However, by about day 4 or 5 it had appeared as though I had gotten a chemical peel and my skin was glowing! Im so, so happy with this medication and have been recommending it to everyone I know."


"I can finally have days without flying off the handle! I would not want to do without it again. I can enjoy my family and my life!"


"Yearlong pain was gone by day 3. But on day 4, the horrible side effects started. The awful taste in my mouth at all times, worsening constipation, headband headache, and up all night with insomnia. If it wasn't worth it to get rid of this stomach infection, I would quit taking this med. That's how bad these side effects combined are for me. If it was just one, and not at all the up all night insomnia, I would be much better."


"Tramadol saved my life. Fibromyalgia had just about taken my life away. I was constantly in pain, tired, and often in a mental fog. It was causing major problems in my marriage, because the pain, fatigue, and fog made me a horrible husband and father. I wasn't doing my part around the house because of the pain, fatigue, and lack of cognitive clarity. My wife was resentful, and rightfully so. I finally ended up in a Doctor's office in tears - I told him I was "crazy". He said I was not crazy, I was ill. He prescribed tramadol and Cymbalta. My life has completely changed: no pain, no fatigue, and no fog. My life and marriage are restored, and we are happier than ever. Daily, I thank God for a good, knowledgeable doctor, Cymbalta and Tramadol."


"OMG worth thing I have ever done in my life was use this birth control !!! I had it since March of 2015 and I've been bleeding ever since EVERY DAY!!!! Doc said it will take up to 6 to 7 months for my body to adjust but JESUS... The mood swings I've got are insane ... I cry for everything , feel sad , depressed ..... I'm always hungry .... I've gained like 30 pounds with this .... My relationship with my boyfriend is going down since I get angry for everything and suddenly sad ... I'm getting it removed finally this Friday .... Don't get this !!! It will make your body think your are pregnant and you will have those symptoms every moths ... rate this a 1 cause I couldn't give a ZeRO"


"21 yo female. I love it. I am on 75 mg and it has had the intended effects of reducing cystic acne and oil. The acne got a lot worse around 2 weeks, but the break out healed a lot faster than usual. It is now 4 weeks and the break out is almost completely healed and there are no new cysts! It has also had other welcome side effects of thicker hair on my scalp/less shedding, leg hair growing in really slow, pubic hair on my upper thighs and facial hair on chin growing a lot less and not coming back in after plucking. Only bad effects are headaches at first (drink water!) and spotting even though I'm on BC. I'm going to ask about doing 50 mg for longer before coming back up to see if I can get rid of the spotting. Besides spotting, 10/10!"


"My primary care doctor prescribed this for my post nasal drip, nightly coughing, sneezing  and congested sinuses. It has worked extremely well. I did try to cut back from the 2 sprays twice daily to one spray and all symptoms returned quickly! I have Epstein Barr so if I'm catching a cold, I do see my doctor if it hasn't  improved in 3 days."


"Wow, since taking Nuvigil I am able to task busily all day without afternoon nap and general fatigue. It also has increased my adult cardio activity beautifully (if you know what I mean). I was a little jittery the first day and waited a week for 2nd try. Now 4 days into it and awesome. Hope it stays working like this."


"This November 2015 I will have had implanon for 3 years. The only thing I guess I could say that was bad was that I had a period for maybe most 2 weeks after a year of having it. After that I haven't had any period since. I get cramps rarely, no spotting. Very effective against pregnancy, very effective for stopping implantation if anyone was wondering because I know I was when I got it. I plan to get implanon again when it's time to remove it. I think I've had an overall positive experience and I hope the second time around is good as well!"


"I switched to Nuvaring after getting off of Implanon(It was great except I experienced bone pain and lengthy irregular periods-about 3 weeks long). Its been about 9 months and I enjoy knowing when my period is due to come and it does like clockwork! I enjoy that I don't have to take a pill everyday either. The one annoying thing about this birth control is that if it is not pushed up in the right position that it will slip down. It doesn't hurt or anything but I can feel the slight pressure. It's uncomfortable more than anything. During sex, I just take it out and put it back in within 3 hours as directed. My boobs have exploded on my chest but I guess that is not such a bad thing! I haven't experienced any other symptoms."


"I started taking this medication since I was 18 years old on and off. Let me put it in simple terms it is highly addictive. Yes it cured my anxiety but temporary only as long as I was on it. Miss a day and you want to crwal out of your own skin. The withdrawls are horrendous. Xanax just masks the problem. As soon as I got back on it my brain just wants it and thats all I think about. Valarian root is healthier and natural think twice before taking Xanax. Go for natural products if you can."


"I've been taking Invega for almost two years. It does wonders for my concentration. I went from being unable to drive, cook or take care of myself to being able to live a normal life. I work, function normally socially, drive and pretty much do whatever I want. I didn't notice that the Invega helped much with the depression. I take Effexor for that, and it is great. I spend most of my time being content now, which is wonderful. My biggest complaint about the Invega is that it does nothing to stop the hallucinations. The only side effects I had were blurred vision and orthostatic hypotension (dizziness upon standing). Both went away after 7-10 days. I have to say that the withdrawal symptoms are unpleasant (dizziness, seizures, jitteriness.)"


"I'm 25, female, full-time student and full-time worker, living in NYC. I've been fighting insomnia triggered by anxiety my entire life, but it was never an issue until I reached my mid-twenties. When I lay down, I get a series of panic attacks that can keep me awake the entire night. Lately, I've been going three days on ~5 hours of total sleep. I quit my job and my focus for school was diminished. I became scared and a total mess. I need proper sleep to be able to function the next day. I was recently prescribed Clonazepam through my psychiatrist and it is, seriously, a blessing from the universe. I take .5 mg when I start feeling sleepy and, within an hour, I'm in dreamland. I don't have to fight for sleep or get anxious about sleeping."


"After having lower stomach cramps without diarrhea for two days, I started taking this medicine morning. It has stopped the cramps and I have not had any known side effect as of yet. I took this medicine two years ago for a bad stomach flu and it saved me from laying rolled up in a ball in bed. Every adult should keep some of this medicine in their home and carry it when you travel. Thanks you for the relief!"


"Went into ER with gastroenteritis symptoms. Was given two injections of Zofran and a script for pills at home. Works so well and allows me to sleep really well. A very comfortable and calm feeling into a nice deep sleep. Works well for the nausea. "


"Due to medication,  lost hair every time I brushed, every time I washed, seemingly every time I touched my head!!  now due to spirolactone I no longer lose  hair!!  My plumbing is happy, too.  My doctor suggested I take Biotin as well.  I know it will take many months for me to see new growth, but that's okay.  My skin looks great, too!!"


"I was prescribed Augmentin 875 mg every 12 hours 2 days ago . Today ( after 4 tabs) I began to have diarrhea and stomach aches . I was prescribed this drug because my indoor cat got loose outdoors and scared and scratched my hand and bit me. I am a senior lady who has had a blocked intestine before and after surgery got C Dif and am afraid to continue this drug as I may have a re occurrence. I'm stopping the dosage tonight and will see the MD tomorrow.I want off this drug! Oh, the reason I had C Dif was because I got Salmonella in the hospital and was given so much IV antibiotics."


"While the rehab changes your perception no matter how you go into in, the Vivitrol changes your brain chemistry altogether. It's the combination of being on the outside and seeing where you've made your mistakes, knowing that you have a shield guarding you at every moment. Life becomes more normal in that time. It's like a rehab that follows you. Brilliant. When I got off of the shot I had a couple moments of frustration but that was easily solved with my newfound knowledge. Mostly the knowledge of myself. I believe this could save many lives. If you don't want it but take it for someone else, at least you have a month to figure out why."


"I had bariatric surgery about 12 years ago. Was 378 Lost 100 lbs but am still considered super morbidly obese. I underwent a revision to tighten the stoma and lost 30 lbs but gained back 10.

At 285 I Started taking Contrave on August 30, 2016. One pill in the morning. Felt a little nausea and dizziness. Helped to eat a little something. I have not felt as hungry as I usually do if that is really hunger. I document what I am eating because although I am eating less food I may not be eating the best food. I also need to pick up my water intake. This pill is meant to take away the cravings for food. It will work only if you are on a solid eating plan and exercise.  It is expensive but will help you while you are making a lifestyle change."


"I just started phentermine today. My whole life I've been skinny. I've had two kids and still managed to get down to a size 8. Long story short I was on pain killers for 5 years  straight got taken off of them abruptly,  had a seizure , got on suboxone for the withdrawal of pain
killers now I am 5'4 240 pounds. I have everything I need done for gastric bypass surgery but I have to do 4 months of behavior therapy so I am trying the phentermine to see if I can lose weight and then maybe I won't have to get surgery.  I got off the suboxone a year ago when I was 200 pounds and gained 40 more. I can't stand up for more than 15 minutes without severe blinding back pain. Long story longer I now have high blood pressure.  3 fractures in my back."


"Originally started as a means to treat cystic acne and alleviate period cramps. Anxiety runs in my family, but I've never had it severely until I started taking this birth control. It's been three months and a few days into the fourth pack, and I've had enough. I went from someone who's never broken down about last minute assignments to someone who cries everyday for no discernible reason and can't manage even the simplest classwork.

I also started off completely fine with my FWB, but now I've become dependent and paranoid even though he's one of my closest friends and I never had these issues before. It's like I'm a different person entirely, and I hate it."


"First, the pill does work. I took it while I was on my period, so my period was longer and the cramps came back. YES, it does mess up your cycle for MORE than 3 months not just 1 or two months, but you know..every girl is different. This pill saved me but it will be a great idea to start birth control because plan b screws up your body. It was scary at first because of the bleeding and missed periods so just relax. Pill works great"


"Very good experience with some minor side effects.....minor and worth having rather than being in the hospital with a kidney infection! I read some of the reviews on here. I have health anxiety and a bit of hypochondria and I am afraid to take medications. I was hesitant to take this one as well after reading the reviews. Only side effects I felt was some mild diarrhea, headache, some muscle aches, fatigue, mild pelvic and side pain and chills (which could have been from the UTI rather than a side effect of the medication). Please take the bad reviews with a grain of salt. Everyone responds differently to medications and my experience was good with this. Don't take UTI's lightly as they can lead into more serious problems."


"I'm on the second week. I have lost 8 lbs but I am going to stop taking it. I can't deal with the nausea and feeling sick all the time. I had to leave work one day last week because the nausea just kept getting worse. I think this medicine works but for me the results don't outweigh the side effects."


"I was recently diagnosed with a pinched nerve in the mid-upper back due to scoliosis (at age 66).  I have suffered pain in both the mid to upper back as well as my lower back.  A friend who recently broke her back told me I needed to ask my doctor about Elavil.  I was very familiar with this drug as I took it 40 years ago for panic attacks.  I was on 10 mg for 2 weeks and have now been on 25 mg for 2 weeks.  My upper back pain is virtually gone and if I do have break through pain, I can usually control it with Chinese Herbal Warming gel, Biofreez and DMSO.  I am sold on this medication!  Not 100% pain free yet but am at last 95% pain free."


"I didn't care for this at all. It didn't control my periods at all, I still had my 7 day long periods when other birth controls I have taken controlled it by the most 5 days, and I feel like my mood swings were severe where was scared of myself, not normal. My acne seemed to be worse than usual. I stuck myself with it for a year to see if any changes would happen and nothing changed so I swapped birth control."


"I have had major depression for 10 years.  I had been on handfuls of different antidepressant medicines and found that not one worked.  I had also had suicidal feelings.  My doctor put me on Viibryd and I am a totally different person.  Aside from having diarrhea, which I can totally live with, this medication has changed my life.  I no longer feel depressed.  I have a new love of life, I am not short tempered with my family.  I feel extremely good, and have patience, which I haven't had in years.  Thank God for Viibryd.  I have been getting samples from the doctor, so I hope that I can afford to keep taking it.  It has made a HUGE difference in my life."


"I took one pill at onset, then took a second pill after 2 hours of no relief, as directed.  I spent a total of 5 hours puking and uncoordinated, except for the hour the 2nd pill knocked me out with drowsiness.  My migraine never subsided and continued to rage in full force during and after the side effects.  Will not take again."


"I have suffered with migraines for the past 34 years. I had chronic acute migraines (18-27 per month). I have been on more preventive medications than I can count. My neurologist put me on candesartan because nothing else had worked. I started at 4 mg and now take 8mg. In the three months that I have been on candesartan, I have only had a handful of very treatable migraines. I feel like my life is in my control now and my migraines no longer control me."


"I'd been seeing a psychiatrist that had me on Adderall for about 2 years. My ability to take care of myself had increased greatly, but I still didn't have a job. My vocational rehab program sent me to a new doctor who decided to take me off the Adderall and prescribe this instead, despite the fact I had made improvements on the former.

Been almost 4 weeks. Maybe because I'm already use to taking something different it just doesn't feel effective. It feels like a very neutered version of adderall, and I often find myself sleepy and tired. I can focus on things, but only a little bit. I can remember things, sometimes, usually right around when I take a dose but my long term memory is shot.  I feel anxious and stiff too."


"I've been having skyla going on my third year in October. And I can honestly say I'm ready for my next insertion  for another 3 yrs. The pain when getting it inserted was bad but tolerable, its really just this very awkward discomfort that lingers 5 seconds too long, but when it's time to react..the process is over. My periods are predictable then sometimes unpredictable. It can go MIA then appear. My flow varies from light to heavy but compared to before I had it..I love my period now with it. I used to use long/overnight pads & change it from 4-7 times a day. Now I can use thin/regular pads & change 1-3 times a day. I also believe my diet effects my menstrual cycle. My cramps varies too but use some motrin and you'll be good. I recommend this!"


"I have TN2  it took 10 months 5 doctors ,dentist visit and lastly in hospital with severe neck ,face ,ear pain to get correct diagnosis.Like most first visit to the dentist,he said nerve issue,but I went to regular dr. first was diagnosed with migraine ,went to ENT,he said no problem go back to dentist meanwhile I am having pain 24 /7 can only open mouth about an inch ,eating ice cream & gaining weight.Started on a very low dose Carbamazepine because I am very allergic,first few days numbness improved ,then on 200mg a day ,it is working but jaw pain has not totally subsided.I don't have any side effects so far,thankfully.If all pain does not go away I will have to up the dosage after I see dr.Prayers to you all"


"I was prescribed Topamax as a Migraine preventative and experienced just about every side effect. I started 25mg/day at night for 7 days, moved up to 75mg after 3 weeks and remained there. Within 48 hours I was didn't have a headache at all, but was experiencing side effects of tingling fingers, no appetite and change in taste of foods/carbonated beverages. I did have a  hard time concentrating, I'd get confused and would randomly slur words. I weighted 120-ish when I started and within a few months, was 110 or less. I did work out and noticed no matter how hard I pushed, I didn't sweat and randomly got dizzy. Side effects are no joke, but you adjust after  a few weeks."


"I took this from Feb 2017 until Sept 2017 for my GAD. I alternated between 5mg & 10mg daily.
It worked ok for my anxiety, but just ok.
Sex drive non-existent.
Gained 20 lbs with no other lifestyle changes, so it had to be this medicine.
I stopped with no withdrawal symptoms so that's good."


"I have never posted a drug review online, however I felt I had to after my positive experience with the IUD. One of the things that dissuaded me having an IUD was all of the negative online reviews, especially those concerning the pain of the insertion process. I am 25 years old, healthy and have not had any children. I just had my IUD inserted and I feel obliged to say that the whole process was uncomfortable, but 100% bearable. I had some minor cramping during the sounding process and again during the insertion process but it was all more uncomfortable than painful. The whole process only took about 2 minutes. My IUD Was inserted by a RNP with lots of experience, and according to her, MOST women have a similar experience, so give it a go!"


"Took medication wasn't made aware of the bad taste so I immediately vomited my first dose.  Had to call doctor for another fill as they advised it important to take twice for the whole 7 days.  I bought some fruit roll ups to wrap them when it was time to take and this allowed me to take the medication and keep down so that it may work as intended.  This is a trick I suggest if you find yourself having trouble to get it down as the medication alone will begin to dissolve as soon as it hits your mouth."


"Allegra-D 24 hour has been the best thing for clearing my chronic rhinitis. However, I've also been suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness and am wondering if taking this in combination with Lexapro (for anxiety) is causing it."


"Mood improved dramatically, PMT gone! Completely, and this was becoming a problem as I'm 40 it seemed to be getting worse. I've lost a few pounds and find it easier to keep my weight down, it must be the diuretic and no fluid retention. Bigger breasts, bit tender but better with time, I've been on it nearly 3 months now. Libido maybe even better, as I feel happier. This is by far the best pill I've been on and I didn't take the pill for years because of the effects of weight gain, and libido. I've tried Mirena twice, awful, mini pill, mini pill injection cap and coil. Finally found one that suits, now my GP won't prescribe it! I will try family planning."


"I had thought that quitting smoking was hopeless.  Even when I started taking Chantix, I didn't think I could quit.  My last cigarette was May 29, 2013.  I am thrilled beyond belief.  My insurance paid 100% for the Chantix but I would have readily spent what it cost just to quit that nasty habit. I took it for 3 months as instructed.  It changed my life. I feel empowered and strong and healthy.  I am grateful."


"I am two months now on it after switching from a 3 pill a day combo. The first 3 weeks it was a horrible experience with stomach bloating gas and wind. It triggered my depression as well. Week 4 the symptoms started eliminating. 8 weeks now on and everything is back to normal except from being more happy having to take just one small pill a day. The blood tests couldnt be better with  an undetectable VL and a good CD4 count."


"I've had Nexplanon for two years now. Insertion was easy. I noticed some queasiness for a few months after, but anti-nausea wristbands helped. Other than that the first year was fine. I had occasional periods which lasted about as long as usual. My sex drive decreased, but not too badly. The second year, I've had two two-week long periods. My acne has returned. My sex drive has decreased to zero. Worst of all, I have pretty bad depression. I'm easily irritatable and will freak out over small things. I've never had depression before. I thought it was culture shock (I live in Japan) until I read an article linking birth control with depression. Now I'm pretty sure it's that. If I could, I would get it out to see if my depression lessens."


"I started contrave in December 2015 and lost 42 pounds (200 - 158).  The first 3-4 weeks I experienced intense neasea and headaches, but they were gone after a while.  I lost 14 pounds in the first month - I used the LoseIt app on my phone and tracked my calories, but it was pretty easy to not eat much because of the nausea.  Apples - I ate a lot of them.  It helped me when I had nausea.

I've gone from a size 18 to a 12 and I look and feel so much better. I haven't started exercising, but I will do that while continuing to use the LoseIt app - hoping that my tummy will tone up some while I aim to lose 8 more pounds.

For the past 3 months, I have kept my weight steady and am ready to come off the medicine and see what it does."


"I was put on Yasmin for 6 months to regulate my cycle and reduce acne flare-ups and it was the worst 6 months of my life. I gained 20lbs that did NOT come off easily after stopping the pill, experienced horrible mood swings, had HEAVIER periods, acne breakouts, breakthrough bleeding, and I was nauseous all the time. This pill seems to agree with most people but it definitely did not agree with me. I went on Femcon a year after stopping Yasmin and experienced virtually no side effects."


"It's only been a month. I have anxiety as it is, this birth control made it 100x worse. The last couple of weeks I haven't been sleeping because I've been up with anxious feelings and had panic attacks for no reason. I haven't been feeling myself at all, I feel depressed. I didn't really experience mood swings, but my anxiety was so much worse. I just finished my period and it's safe to say that I will not start my new pack next week."


"It is very good soap. I'm living in Pakistan and I'm using two times a day. It is very good for acne, I love it so much."


"I started using Nuvaring a month ago. I'm normally very dull when it comes to sex since giving birth to my son. Nuvaring changed that. I'm always wanting sex now, my husband loves it. No breakouts and we don't feel it during sex and I can just live a regular life. I don't see any weight gain but I believe it's too early to know. My only side effect I dislike is the nausea."


"I just started on this new drug. I am very nervous about the side effects as many are listed .... But I've tried so many different medications I have to give this one a try!! I was taking Prisiq but had a reaction from the sun ( even with sunscreen ) so took myself off. I enjoy sitting in the sun and was on vacation. On my second day of taking Fetzima no side effects other than my heart feels like it's pounding a bit but nothing that bothers me too much. I really hope this medication works for me. Stay tuned!!"


"Started taking 7/15, I had terrible side effects, racing heart, dizziness, insomnia, speech and memory. When I told my doctor I was coming off it she basically told me to suck it up and push through the side effects.  She also recommend that I take one pill everyother day.  I am glad I listened to her, I am down 53 pounds.  This was all done on the 7.5 dose."


"started Saxenda mid June and lost 25 lbs in 2 months, and now down another 6 lbs in the last 2 weeks, main side effect for me is the nausea, still have it, was sick twice, but I can handle the nausea as I am so happy to be losing weight, I have tried many things in the past, and this is by far the best, completely cuts my appetite, I don't even eat half of what I used to, and no desire for junk food.

Luckily my insurance covers 80%. I feel better than I have in a long time.

Also, started walking every night. Total weight loss since June 11, 31 lbs."


"I have been on Byetta for 4 months and saw my Hgb A1C go from a 9.0 to a 6.6 in a 3 month period. My A1C has never been this good since being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 12 years ago. I can't wait until month 6 to see if my Hgb A1C is still normal."

"Best medication out there for stopping a panic attack in progress by far. Xanax will probably put you to sleep. 10 rating is for its ability to stop an attack."


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


"When I was 16 I went on it for only a month, though I was prescribed for 9, on 80mg a day. I don't like, and regret a lot. While I was on it I averaged 1-2 nosebleeds a day, sore lips, soreness, blah blah, but that doesn't really bother me that much, but for the first month after the medication, I could NOT get an erection, just like that. No sex drive. I'm back to 50 percent now, but it won't go up anymore."
