"I've had my paragard in for abt 3 months. I'd definitely reccomend it. I was on the pill before, it's such a relief to not have to worry about birth control anymore!
The initial placement was uncomfortable, I would describe it like bad cramping: totally bearable and worth it. I had bad cramping, a lot of fatigue and a very heavy flow for the first 3 periods where I'd have to change my pad every hour, & even so I had a lot of leakage. It gets lighter each time now though, my period seems to be returning to normal. I was afraid at first but am back to using my Divacup, just being very careful to be gentle and always breaking suction before moving it. I'd describe all side effects as minor, & very worth it. Team IUD! Pregnancy free until 2027!"


"I've been on Lexapro twice. The 1st time started in the fall 2008. For some reason at the age of 42, I began having dizziness, anxiety, and panic attacks. I was diagnosed with GAD and prescribed 1 mg Ativan for use as needed in the short term and 10mg Lexapro for the long term. Within 3 weeks I increased to 20 mg Lexapro. Within another 3 weeks, my anxiety had all but vanished and I quit Ativan. My racing thoughts and worries subsided. I was able to sleep better at night and concentrate better at work. No weight gain either but I exercise regularly. I stayed on Lexapro for 1 yr. No problems getting off on a tapered schedule over 3 months. In spring 2011, anxiety returned due to marriage issues. Back on 10 mg Lexapro with same great results."


"I have been taking 250 mg of Nuvigil every morning for a year. I could not stay awake at all before starting this medication. After taking Nuvigil I felt much better. I have had a lot going on lately and stress does affect how this medication works for me. If my sleep pattern is disturbed (have to get up extra early or go to bed really late) it also has a huge impact on how this medication works for me. Overall this medicine has given my quality of life back. "


"This antibiotic is a God send! I am allergic to Penicillins and Sulfas. At first I tried Cipro, it didn't work. I had kidney stones for 8 months, I finally got my second lithotripsy in June for an 8x9mm stone and then my kidney got infected. This is my fourth day on Macrobid and I have had no serious side effects except 1 bout of diarrhea on day 1, which was welcomed compared to the nausea and pain from the infection. Macrobid actually got rid of my nausea!"


"The doctor prescribed this to me along with levaquin for a severe sinus infection.
Took it for 4 days,and on the 5th door, terrible dizziness and unsteadiness on my feet. Insomnia & constipation have also been rearing their ugly heads. I'd take the sinus infection again, rather than feeling faint and dizzy all day."


"Implanted June 2013. Experienced no pain inserting. My arm was numb for a few days from Lidoderm. I spotted for about a month and a half, which I expected. It's been 8 months now, and I seriously only bleed once every few months. I'm surprised to see so many reviews of non stop bleeding. I've had nothing like that.
My only side effects I notice are acne and night sweats. No mood swings or emotional thoughts.
Love this birth control!"


"The pain from Fibromyalgia comes as MUSCLE cramping, tingling, twitching, spasms, etc. It is not a "nerve" illness per se, yet doctors think people are stupid and prescribe this anyway. It does nothing for the pain or fatigue from Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue/M.E. Until people realize that legitimate users of meds such as Hydrocodone, morphine ER, etc are rarely abused by people in genuine chronic pain, doctors will continue to jeopardize patients lives by giving them meds like this as a placebo with nasty side effects. One doctor also put me on Paxil which gave me Serotonin Syndrome and I was in Intensive care for a week! This was when SSRI's first came out and I went into med journals.  Avoid this for chronic MUSCLE  pain."


"I've been on Vyvanse a few years and I remember the exact moment I realized it kicked in. Out of the blue I thought "oh my goodness" is this what normal feels like. My main reason for this post is in reading here I've noticed a couple of people have mentioned the expense. If you go to Vyvanse website you can get a savings card, the card brings the cost to $30:)"


"The reviews listed on the top of this site scared me. There are alot of reviews on vomiting, bad taste and bowel explosions.

The taste is very bad. I drank it through a straw and cleansed my palate with a small sip of water after each drink. It helped. The medicine worked very well. I read the instructions and followed them to the letter, with the exception of sipping water to cleanse my palate. It would be much better if the taste was not so gross."


"In a hole, have nothing or no one, that was me. On a plan with this and changing my life, if you want to change you can. This can help, you have to find it in yourself first though, great tool."


"over a period of time, apriso caused me wasting of muscles (motor neuron disease)"


"My advise is eat a big meal before taking it. That way when it cleans you out. You have plenty of stuff come out of you. I took it on a light lunch and the whole day I had to sit on the toilet with pain and nothing coming out. It was horrible.  Protected sex is best ladies."


"Severe stomach pain, nausea, headache after I stopped taking this for a couple of weeks, my symptoms went away. Started taking it again. All the above came back.."


"Azor has been a great product for me. Two others just would not work for me. Azor gave me a flushed face and swollen ankles in the beginning, but that has subsided quite a bit now. Also have less urination too, but does not seem to affect my health in any way. Just make sure you tell your doctor of any side effects you get."


"I have been taking fluoxetine for three years- since my husband left me during my pregnancy.  I was having suicidal and homicidal thoughts- I was trying to think of ways to kill him and get away with it.  When I started taking Prozac, those disappeared and I was  coping with reality much better.  I recently (about 8 weeks ago) stopped taking it after I read a study that suggested that many people imagined their reactions to antidepressants- I wanted to see if there was truth to that.  BIG MISTAKE.  I have been moody, crying at the drop of a hat, and VERY angry all the time at pretty much anyone- even my three year old.  Going back to the Prozac ASAP- even with the low libido side effect."


"I have had psoriatic plaques foe nearly 17 years. The itch can sometimes be insane and as I'm sure many here would at least imagine, has caused me to take drastic actions to quell it. The only way I have explained it is that the itch is well below the skin and the thick plaques make it impossible to reach. I love getting the injections for two reasons.  First as many have said it quiets outbreaks faster and more efficiently than almost anything I've ever uses. Second and I know this may sound weird but having that sharp needle press into itchy skin feels incredible. Then followed by the medicine (kenalog) saturating the itchy area. I get it every four months"


"I'm 18, no children but sexually active with my boyfriend. I have had Skyla for 3 months now and I only have positives. Insertion was uncomfortable, it didn't hurt. My face is clearer, I have less appetite, my periods are getting lighter and best of all Im not a teen mom!"


"I've had paragard since November 2016. It is now June 2017. At first the pain was unbearable. I'm a very pain tolerant person who has numerous piercings and tattoos. When the doctors told me my period cramps would get worse I thought nothing of it. After getting it I realized what they meant. My pain was awful for the first 6 months. I could only lay down and would cry for hours. I also had to find a pain pill so I could function at my warehouse job. Finally after the sixth month my pain went from feeling like child birth to non existent. I still have a nice heavy flow but almost no pain. I know there are a ton of bad reviews but in the end you just have to try it out yourself. I am so happy!"


"3 weeks 40mg Lisinapril BP still at 150/100. Went back to the Doc yesterday 170/100 in his office. He switched me to Nifedipine and I asked if he thought Buspirone help me, He prescribe it also. Took those two with .5 mg of Klonopin. 121/71 after a rough night of work. I have been trying to find the magic bullet for 11 years. I pray this is it. To soon to tell. I will post again in a month."


"It helps you fall asleep. But does not help you stay asleep. I wake up at  3:00 every morning. It is very frustrating. I am on 15 mg."


"Got on Microgestin 1.5/30 after getting married (had sex with husband before we were married, but wanted to start birth control to eliminate condoms or pulling out for him).
PERIOD: I had a short but consistent & heavy period beforehand, and now it's VERY light or non existent in the off week. Didn't get pregnant so overall effective.
MOOD/LIBIDO: the hard part is being able to determine if my mood, weight gain, what feels like depression (never have experienced depression before), and decreased libido (LEAST cool) have been primarily due to the pill, of my life change/transition. Looked here today due to my first acne spike (2 huge pimples a day on face &chin) since starting to see if this has caused acne for others."


"This medication does come with its somewhat unpleasant side effects, but I have to say that I am happy. I am finally hopeful. For weeks I was so down, feeling weighed down by negative thoughts and feelings of hopelessness. It got to a point where I couldn't even concentrate at work. I was crying under my desk. Two weeks after taking Lexapro, I feel alive again. Doesn't mean I don't occasionally feel sad, but I don't have the pain in my chest, that heavy feeling that came with being depressed. I have the will to do things now. Nevertheless, it does make me a little jittery, especially after coffee! I'm on 10mg, I tried cutting the pill in half today, but still feel hyperactive. Will consult with my doctor but small price to pay for happiness."


"I still had anxiety. I woke up in the middle of the night, but in the morning I was dizzy till about 11. Can't be productive on this medicine!"


"I've been on Trinessa for 9 months now, and will be starting Aviane this coming week. Trinessa worked wonders for me for several months. My skin was clear, mood was normal, periods weren't bad. Then, I developed a lump in my breast. I saw my doctor, who sent me to get a breast ultrasound. The ultrasound showed only normal breast tissue, but I had pain and tenderness for a long time. Later, I began having a pain on the right side of my pelvis. When it hurt I could even feel a rigid lump looming over the pain. I got both the pelvic and transvaginal ultrasounds and they showed no cysts or abnormal tissue. Total, I spent $1000 to get ultrasounds that have done nothing. Finally, I am getting off this pill. Hopefully that resolves my pain."


"I just wanted to write this review to say DON'T freak out this pill works, just stay calm. I'm over 200 pounds and took this and my period came on, I also had no side affects."


"I have been taking 1/2 of a 50 mg tablet at bedtime for some time now; I get a better nights sleep when I do, also if I do wake up in the night to go to the bathroom I am always able to go right back to sleep. I am just wondering if there is any danger in taking this long term to help with insomnia?"


"5 years ago, my gastro Dr put me on this med for nerve pain. I was not having to take it each night, usually 3 to 4 nights of as little as 12mg, sometimes even less at 6.5 mg did the trick. I found that the medication made it a bit harder to wake up in the morning but I was able to sleep thru the night. I am now having trouble sleeping due to increased stress and anxiety and the medication has been helpful in helping me sleep. Only issue for me has been the dry mouth in the morning which is manageable, I also try to eat right and exercise daily which has helped my anxiety.  In reading the reviews, I can certainly relate to what many of you are going thru.  Unless you've been thru it, people have no idea what its like."


"My boyfriend had severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. This medicine helped him very much. The only real problem is some of the side affects, grumpy, but, personally, they are worth it. He will hopefully be around for a few more years."


"The horrible side effects (even with HRT) were not worth it. The hot flashes, joint pain, mood swings, depression and long-term effects on my bones were NOT worth it.

I really wish doctors would stop trying to give me this as it only does harm.

Endometriosis can only be helped by EXCISION by a skilled surgeon, and will only last for up to a few years. Please stop getting doctors to postpone proper treatment with this."


"Ok, decided I had a yeast infection, so I went to the store to avoid going to the doctor. Found monistat 1 and was pleased that there was such thing to make it go away fast. I inserted the egg at about 1130pm last night, and felt completely fine. At about 430 this morning I started to feel some discomfort so I went to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet for about 20 minutes in horrible pain itching and itching.. I came back to bed thinking it would just go away. Nope. I'm laying here in such pain, it's 530AM and I have a heating pad in my crotch. I would never recommend this to someone and I am suffering. Usually I read reviews but I didn't this time and wow am I regretting it.... Do yourself a favor and don't get this stuff"


"I have had Ulcerative Colitis for 13 years. Asacol is good for maintenance of active ulcerative colitis."


"So far so great! I've had zero gastro-intestinal side effects or headaches and tremendous clearing of my skin after only 2 weeks (started with the starter pack).  I am full of energy and body feels great!  I have 1 bridging pack and now comes the challenge of getting my insurance to cover it... fingers crossed!!!"


"I started using this about 4 days ago. It worked really well in the beginning. I didn't sweat or anything. I was actually surprised and glad I can finally touch my dogs without getting their hair all over my palms. But ever since yesterday my hands and feet have been sweating non stop. I read I can't apply it when the area is wet...that it has to be dry...so there is no possible way I can apply it. Hopefully my hands stop sweating soon."


"I have been on Lupron for two years. I got my last shot in December. It has kept my PSA under .03. Can't wait to see if it is still that low after 3 months! You learn to live with the side effects."


"I just started taking Byetta. Am now on 10mcg, twice a day. The only side effect I have is feeling full. I've limited what I eat and exercise but so far have lost only one pound after a month. I am hoping I can lose more over time. Meanwhile my blood sugars are staying between 90-115. I do feel I have more energy then I've had in a long time."


"I usually suffer from very bad acne and have tried strong medications including a zineryt zinc roll on my face which gradually lost it's effectiveness however this medication is super effective. Could visually see the improvement in about 4/5 days.

The thing that stops me from giving it a 10 is the dryness it causes it's changed the sensation in some parts of my face. Other than that it's fab."


"The most amazing drug! Very little side effects. I am 32 years old and was fatigued when I first started but that lasted less than a week and I went on to complete 3 months of therapy with no side effects and it's been over a year now since I've been cured!! Thank god for this miracle drug. I had hepatitis c geno 1 for 14 years"


"I had been on prednisone for almost 10 years. With many of the common side effects; round face, always gaining weight and others. I am now on budesonide tablets, 6mg per day. With no side effects. It truly is a miracle. My only complaint of this medicine is it's outrageous cost. I say this, because the medicine has been around since the early nineties in inhalers. I know this, because my wife did clinical trials with this. My last month's bill was $360. for a thirty day script, I might add, with Humana insurance. Each month the cost has gone up. I am afraid to think of what next month's bill is going to be.

The budesonide has given me known side effects. "


"Topamax worked great to relieve my daily headaches and migraines. Taking it twice daily, it didn't take long to start enjoying life again without headaches, but as time went on, the side effects just kept getting more and more intense. I could deal with the tingling in my fingers, hands, and feet, but waking up completely disoriented, not being able to think straight or concentrate, not being able to form sentences or find the right words finally got to me after about a year/year and a half and I weened off of it. It's unfortunate because it felt amazing not to have headaches everyday. I am also small to begin with and I lost about 15 pounds on it, I usually had to force myself to eat due to having absolutely no appetite."


"I rated for effectiveness. This stuff is horrible took me a full hour to finish this with lots of gagging. It took a lot for me not to throw it all up."


"I have been using nalbuphine for a year and a half now. I use it for migraines. I have a headache everyday and I take anywhere from 1 to 3 shots a day. This is the only thing that helps. My doctor tried me on everything. I have a problem with my pharmacy. When I go to get my medicine they treat me like I'm an addict and are very rude to me. It really bothers me. I am an E.M.T. and have been for 13 years now. I recently lost my job due to being on nalbuphine. We had a new woman hired in the office and she didn't like the idea of me taking shots so they let me go. My medicines never got in the way of my job. I am a good E.M.T. I have been given several awards for doing a great job."


"I was in an accident. Doctors words...I had to learn how too do everything again walk, talk, stand, brush teeth etc. Oxycodone and Oxycontin neather worked much. I was switched to Opana ER. What a difference this made. Pain was reduced by 50% more than the Oxycontin and almost no mental decrease. This was my biggest issue and now solved with Opana ER. Thank you Opana ER."


"I'm almost 40 and have only had a handful of YI's, all due to antibiotics.  I was put on a very strong antibiotic a week ago and got a severe YI. I used Monistat 1 at 10pm, here it is 2am and I'm dying. Looking at other comments, it appears that 4 hours after you've used it is when the "s" hits the fan. It feels swollen, the burning is insane and it's so thick you can't just wipe it off with wipes. I feel like this is going to be a long night! I definitely don't recommend using this if you have a severe YI. Use the three day or Diflucan. I feel like I've been to hell and back."


"I work night shift and have little kids which don't understand I'm tired or care so Nuvigil is a life saver. I use to be extremely tired in the morning and want to just lay on the couch because I was tired but no more of that since nuvigil. I have lost 15 lbs in 6 months. Not sure if it's because I'm more active or if it's Nuvigil. My house is the cleanest it's ever been. The first couple of days I took the medication I couldn't sleep all night but that is not a problem anymore so give it a week for body to adjust."


"Imitrex did not work for me. I have not reached the vomiting stage of a migraine in years thanks to other medications. Imitrex did nothing to stop the progression of my migraine. I had to leave work in the middle of the afternoon, feeling as if I would vomit at my desk, in the hallway, in the elevator, walking to the parking garage, the entire way. Aleve works better than this stuff, and Aleve only keeps nausea at bay, but does not cure migraines for me."


"I have been taking this pill for several years. My periods went from being extremely heavy for unhealthy lengths of time which occurred frequently (heavy 2-4 week periods every 2 weeks or so) to having regular periods all around. They only last for 4 days and are much lighter compared to what i was experiencing before but are still slightly heavy. It has cleared my acne almost completely but my cup size has gone from a D to a DDD (I am not a big girl so this was quite extreme and I would say the only side effect that has bothered me. I experience no pain though). Weight gain is A LOT easier but like anything it can be controlled with extra effort. I am quite happy for the most part."


"Been taking Janumet for 11 months and my sugar level went from over 330 to 110 to 150..."


"My doctor recommended this pill to help balance my hormones and regulate my flow. I have been on the pill for a month and will not be taking it a second month. I had spotting everyday and became anemic."


"I've had fibromyalgia for about 30yrs - I am 43.

Endometriosis from ages 13-36, (a hysterectomy 'fixed' that;) clinical depression from abt 16, (break down at 28;) anxiety disorder; insomnia &/or severely disturbed sleep cycles for15-20yrs. AND I've needed a cane to walk for the last 2-3 yrs.

FMS & depression compete for the title of "most debilitating."

I've tried almst everything, (Cymbalta was useless.)

The last 2 months I've been taking slowly increased doses of Lyrica. Currently on 150mg a day, (2× 75mg,) with a view to 300-400mg.

I've had zero relief from pain, BUT nasty side fx.

Almost no sleep.

Worsened depression & anxiety.

Terrible FMS type 'fog.'

Flatulance!

Cannot see this contiuing or improving.

(Available on PBS in Australia.)"


"I used metrogel for 5 nights. It worked great. The itching and burning were relieved the very first night I took it. I did have to do a sixth dose two nights after the fifth night because the symptoms came back slightly but since then I have been fine. That was a week ago and since then no problems at all. The only home remedies I had tried were the probiotics, folic acid, vitamin D and vitamin C. I also ate a lot of plain yogurt. I think the vitamins and yogurt worked to give temporary relief but ultimately it was the Metrogel that did the trick. Crossing my fingers I don't have a relapse. I decided to use the gel and not the pills so the drugs don't have to go through your whole body. The gel just attacks the problem at the source."


"I have been on four different birth control pills in the past 2 years. I got on Loryna about 6 months ago, and absolutely love it. It has completely gotten rid of my acne, and my periods are only 2 days now, with very little/ almost no cramps or pain. I used to have terrible breakouts, and nothing would prevent or help them. This birth control cleared my skin up the 2nd week I was on it, and I have had maybe a few zits here and there (3 or 4) but they usually go away right away. Other birth control pills gave me mood swings, messed with my periods, or made my acne worse. So glad when I switched to a new doctor, she put me on this. It is the best!"


"I was prescribed this drug for help with muscle spasms resulting from a problem in my neck. The associated pain was extreme and occasionally paralyzing. Combined with naproxen it was effective at reducing the pain and allowing me to sleep. In 6 months I have used precisely twelve 10mg doses out of a prescription of 30. Two initially to help control the spasms with occasional maintenance doses when I felt that a problem was imminent. I will not take this during the day because it promotes sleep and would affect my ability to drive. The only other side effect is a loose stool the following day, but it is mild."


"I started taking this a few weeks ago, I don't take it everyday because when I do I have watery diarrhea but I'd rather get a good cleaning out every couple days than to be bloated and cramping constantly. I have only tried one dose so maybe with a smaller dose I can control the frequency and consistency. I have been dealing with severe IBS constipation for over 10 years and I have finally found something that actually makes me go without all the cramping and bloating like all the other treatments I have tried! I'll take a little bit of diarrhea just to not be constipated, it's a small price to feel better."


"Wow. I took two pills around 6:00 PM before dinner. Around midnight, I woke up with a burning feeling in my intestines. I figured the medicine was working and sat on the toilet. I haven't pooped this much in a long time. After relieving myself of days worth of poop, I immediately felt sick to my stomach. I returned to the bathroom where I began to throw up and have diarrhea. I went back to bed and woke up around 6:00 AM with more diarrhea. I'm really starting to consider using other medication that doesn't make me so sick."


"I was on Depo for a total of 9 months, or 3 shots. The first was great! I had a little spotting towards the end, and it stopped after I got the second shot. A week after getting the second shot though, I started a heavy period that didn't stop for 6 months. It also made me depressed."


"Great way to quit. I'm on my 5th day now and find myself lighting up and it tastes horrible and know in a few days I will be done! I'm very happy I started this product. Dreams are what I was afraid of but nothing too weird."


"Had migraines for years tried pitzotifen, gabapentin, sodium valporate, triptans, Co coldamol 30/500, toprimate, been on 75mg pregabalin an off the books trial using the docs words. I'm in UK, 7 weeks migraine free, I normally would have had 6 attacks in that time, works for me.  A bit of fatigue only side, I'll take that over debilitating effects of a migraine anytime."


"I was diagnosed with Lupus, along with rheumatoid arthritis. I started taking this medication about 4 weeks ago and over time it has minimized the inflammation I was experiencing, along with the chronic pain in my hips and knees. I never thought I could say that I am about 80% out of pain which is a miracle! For me, taking it with food is a must. Have a little stomach cramping but I CAN tolerate that. So far, so good."


"I am currently taking the twice a day 500 mg tablets and I can't explain how happy I have been and how comfortable I feel now that my infection has cleared up . The pills for me worked rather quickly by the third day I was clean. I don't mind the awful taste of the pill if it's going to work , what I do is either open my mouth wide and drop it at the end of my throat or put it inside a small piece of food and swallow. I also get dizzy at times but as long as I drink water it goes away . I experience bloating and I'm gaseous but it's nothing I will stop my treatment for. And it is true please DO NOT DRINK ! The first day i took them I forgot the doctor said not to drink and i felt right away stomach cramps and dizziness ."


"I just wanted to say that I love this birth control. Besides helping me with my cysts it has given zero side effects. I tried Yaz before this one and I felt like a monster! It gave me horrible mood swings, migraines and I gained weight! Will never get off this Loestrin Fe 24. Remember that everyone's body reacts differently to the hormones in these contraceptives! Try it out before you decide for one, if you get a side effect move on to a new one! Oh and one thing, with this pill I had break through bleeding the first month only and you MUST be very specific with the timing with this pill and I get my period for 2 days only (which is also a plus)."


"I take this occasionally for really bad constipation.  This stuff works when nothing else works!  However -and this is important to note, it's uncomfortable.  As soon as I take it, I feel somewhat nauseous for several hours, and my heart rate spikes to a worrisome level.  You have to relax and force yourself to hydrate even though you won't feel like eating or drinking anything.  Because of the heart rate, it has sometimes given me insomnia too but I don't think it does that to everyone.  It is cheap & effective.  It's fizzy with a strong lemon taste and a weird aftertaste.  I agree w/ others that you should take a day off & be ready to run to the bathroom several times."


"I have been on the combination of Truvada/Prezista/Norvir for over 2 years now.  The side effects that cause me the most problems are the ones dealing with my kidneys!  The Truvada has made my GFR go down to 30, very close to changing medicines at that point. But it has been working so well that we took a very close monitoring of my kidney function, and my GFR has stabilized around 55.  Other than that the side effects have been minimal to none.  Great medicine overall!"


"Really helps get rid of my pain. Allows
me to function comfortably; since It makes me almost completely pain free, I sleep line a teenager. Prior to using this med, I used to wake up hourly because of pain. My only bad effect is that I get itchy every once in awhile."


"If taken at the start of a migraine this medicine works wonders . There are side effects such as dry mouth, tiredness, and joint aches. But as anyone who has migraines know that is a small price to pay for relief from the migraine itself."


"I woke up with a horrible hangover today. I had this left over from when I had a UTI and was nauseous. I took it and within 10-15 minutes I was eating my breakfast, which gave my body the energy it needed to recover faster. Truly wonderful medication. Big sigh of relief here."


"The only noticeable effect was that it made me extremely sleepy. Did not work in the slightest."


"I have been taking it for almost 2 months now and I lost 9 lbs the first month and had a lot more energy and the second month I haven't lost anything and no energy. I have had constipation cramps and dry mouth and insomnia. I have to go to the doctor once a month for a check up and a new prescriptions my goal is to lose 30lbs but at this rate I am not going to make it I walk 3 miles a day at a brisk walk and do a cardio work out 3 times a week but can't seem to lose the weight like everyone else who have commented on this board."


"My nails were infected 15 mo ago after a pedicure in a fancy expensive spa.

Nothing had worked - orals, topicals; prescription, "natural". Podiatrist told me that the only option was laser treatment. Eventually one of my finger nails got infected and I did ask a dermatologist for help. He told me that my problem is not the fungus, but yeast and did recommend Kerydin. Yes, it is expensive and many insurances do not cover it, but it DID WORK!

The trick to ask for a 10 ml bottle from the very beginning (starting with your free first dose), that even with me needing to treat my 11 nails lasts for over 2 months. Now, 5 months later, my finger nail and all but the great toe nails (that still have a 1/8 in line on the tips) are all clear."


"I take 30 mg a day. My only complaint is embarresing but I'm having trouble with have orgasms. The desire is still there but my husband has to work real hard! I use to be "Easy". Now there is no such thing as a "Quicky". I spoke to my doctor and he says when my unchangeable life evets calm down he can swithch me to Effexor XR which is suppose to be better. We'll see."


"I use Tramadol for migraine headaches and it works great for me. It takes the pain away, helps me relax, it's almost like a happy pill. It also helps me sleep and what I love most about it is that I don't find myself having to up the dosage at all, even though I take it almost every day I've been taking only 50mg and don't need any more. It actually lasts for most of my day and it doesn't make me drowsy. It just seems to really be a great alternative to more harsh and habit-forming pain relievers. I experienced some constipation for a few days when I first started taking it but then it went away. I would recommend this to anybody who doesn't want to develop a habit for stronger drugs."


"I have Inattentive ADHD, but at the time they were thinking that I have depression and gave me this + Fevarin, took them for about two monts.

Results : Personality change, depersonalisation, my emotions are dumbed down, years have passed, it is better, but I still have the effects.

Maybe it helps someone, but be careful, or you can end up like me. The thing I regret the most in my life..."


"Too expensive for fixed income patients. Classified as a tier 3 drug."


"These tiny little pills definitely get the job done. I'm a 110lb female and the first time I took 3 tablets I didn't experience any of the cramping and nausea that people are describing, but a good amount of waste elimination. The next time I took 2 tablets every few days until the 8 pack of tablets was gone. One of those days I did get some sweating, cramping and light-headedness, but for what looked like A POUND of impacted waste that came out of me one day it was well worth it. The waste was so impacted that I smelled myself.  I feel much better now."


"While my oncologist could not conclude that GEMZAR was effective in my case, I have survived late-stage metastatic pancreatic cancer for more than 6 years since beginning my first (of 2) treatment regimen. Absent any other explanation, I must consider the possibility that GEMZAR was instrumental in my survival.  I've been told I have exceptional tolerance for GEMZAR, and I ultimately had 54 infusions over 2-and-a-half years, with a one-year gap. The side effects were minimal in my case (most frequent: flu-like symptoms, mild infections), and I was able to conduct relatively normal work & life routines, although I frequently had to battle a high level of fatigue."


"Pros- fast onset, felt it in just a few days. Works well for anxiety/depression. I no longer obsessively worry. No weight gain, decreased appetite (fabulous) Cons- Constant head/neck/shoulder/lower back pain, can't sleep a full night without waking up at least 5 times (really frustrating), decreased interest and ability to have sex. I have tried all the SSRIs and this will be the last one before I give up on SSRIs all together. Will probably have to take Remeron to sleep, I didn't really want to be on 2 meds but I need to sleep!!!"


"Had relief on day 2.  Congestion cleared up enough so that my ears finally popped.  Only side effect may have been nausea while running."


"Easy to bruise, a bit of a bleeder, but I'm still alive after 2 years.  Other clogged arteries are stable.  Good news...  I've been also told I'm a lifer.  No side effects that I can tell other than the minor ones above."


"I take Buspar 5mg twice a day for anxiety. After a week, I will then take Buspar 10mg twice a day. I have only been taking it 4 days now. I also take Paxil 50 mg daily and Adderall 10 mg twice daily. So far I have had no side effects from the Buspar except slight dizziness and lack of appetite. So far those are tolerable."


"Was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis. Took this medication for 13 weeks now, have not noticed any side effects or benefits. Only coincidental effect I've noticed, is that I had to lower my seizure medicine as was experiencing moods and mild depression. Will have follow-up blood test soon and will come back and post results. Hope this helps for anyone afraid of taking this medication as I was, due to posted or possible side effects. I have not noticed any negative effects to date."


"Was switching from 40mg of Celexa to 100mg of Zoloft.  Felt great first two weeks. Then it was pure hell after that.  I ended up with Serotonin syndrome during the switch. Ok.  Gave the drug a good 8 weeks.  Couldn't sleep.  Was way too activating.  Made me feel trapped in a constant state of anxiety and panic. Zaps in my fingers and toes.  My children at one point asked if I was high because of the way I was acting.  I couldn't even get a coherent thought out.  The last day I took Zoloft I can't even remember I was so out of it.  Not the drug for me.  Those shouldn't persuade you from trying it as many of these meds are hit and miss."


"I have been taking Adderall now for about a month. So far so good, it's helped me focus a lot. I felt good before in regard to mood, now I feel even better. I'm concerned it may cause libido issues when I have been on it longer. "


"I have always had amenorrhea (irregular periods) my whole life. Recently at 21, I discovered that I have PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome) by testing that was done. I am starting to take Metformin to help it. I have to have Provera prescribed every 3 months, for prevention of endometrial cancer. I have depression and PMDD, which is a severe form of PMS, so the only downside is that it makes me extremely depressed for when I do have my period. But it always makes me have my period by the third, fourth, or recently fifth day. It does what it is supposed to do though, and that is good."


"Worse pill ever, please do not take and please listen to these reviews. Started out great then started with very sharp pains, was on bed rest and almost rushed to the ER.... no sign of my period but I sure feel it coming because he pain, bloating, cramps, acid reflux, sickness, PMS, mood swings, anger and depression which WON'T STOP. Save yourself the trouble and don’t take!!!!"


"I began taking Paxil in addition to Celexa two years ago when I was 16. It is not bad--no stomach aches, weight gain, or horrible headaches--but I have noticed the total disappearance of my sex drive. Totally gone. This might be because of the Celexa as well. Not sure. I was taking 40mg Celexa, 20mg Paxil, 1 mg Ativan, and occasionally trazodone or doxepine to sleep, for a while and when I cut my dosage in half over the summer, I was a mess. Constant migraines and irritability. So I suggest that if you use Paxil, be careful to come off it slowly."


"This medicine was the first one I was put on. Works very well. I am ever so grateful for LEXAPRO. My side effects were being tired and sleepy at first. Now however (after 4 years) I find my sleep cycle is switched, I sleep during the day and I find myself up at night."


"Lamictal is a great drug for me, except for the side effects. I now have had to be put on sleep medicines or I stay awake all night. I have also lost quite a lot of hair over the years of taking it. At one point (400mg) per day. Now at 200mg a day, it has not been as bad, but still significant. My memory has gotten almost to the point of giving up the medicine because it's so bad. I also have trouble thinking of words that I want to say and have never had that problem until taking Lamictal.  It does have less or (better) side effects than some of the others, or I would have tried something else by now."


"This is the worst feeling in the world. My vagina is on fire and won't stop itching. I'm not sleeping tonight. Or ever using this product again."


"I am taking Livalo for several months due to the fact that other statins caused a lot of muscle pains. It has help my cholesterol levels a lot.  My issue is now my glucose levels are high which is not normal for me. My doctor thought I could be diabetic . My glucose levels were normal before starting on this. Also after reading the other reviews I may have other reactions from it. Lower back pain that is dull. Shoulder and neck pain and headaches. I didn't connect it. I went to the Chiropractor to try and  help that. Now. I think it's time to discuss with my doctor that it could all be from the Livalo ."


"I take amox-clav twice a day for an ear infection and sinusitis.  I am on day 3 and so far, I have stopped coughing up green chunky mucous, yay! The mucous alone caused me to not desire food therefore I have lost weight (before starting amox-clav).  I know to take probiotics with penicillin so I do not foresee a yeast infection as some have reported.  I have experienced stomach grumbling and groans but no diarrhea yet (plus, I haven't eaten in days so I don't have anything in my stomach to get out). Amox-Clav is doing it's job.  I'm not going to be a drama queen/crybaby about the side effects because this IS penicillin..not baby aspirin we're taking..just saying."


"I have smoked for about 11 years. Quit cold turkey with each of my 3 pregnancies and had no issue. For some reason about 3-4 weeks after giving birth I was back to a pack a day. I tried the gum but didn't have success. It doesn't last in my system long enough and when a craving struck I couldn't pick up the gum, I picked up the car keys to get to the nearest gas station for a pack of smokes! So I decided to try the patch since it is a continuous stream of nicotine I thought maybe this would work better. I have zero physical symptoms. I still get that "oh, I need a smoke now" feeling but am better able to say no to it. I honestly didn't think it would work but it does! And the itching is unbearable! But only lasted about an hour for me."


"I took victoza for well over a year, and it improved my blood sugar readings tremendously.  My A1C had been as high as 9, and it got down to 6.9 with victoza.  However, I was sick SO MUCH! Constant diarrhea, burping (the nasty, boiled egg kind), and extreme nausea and vomiting.  I finally started tracking my sick days, and  in one month I was sick 4 days.  And by sick, I mean throwing up every few minutes, all day long. I had several tests done, and the only thing discovered was that I digest food slower than normal, which is what victoza is designed to do, I decided it was probably the victoza making me so sick.  I stopped taking it completely, and have not been sick for over month. Blood sugars are not good now, so waiting to see my Dr."


"Hello ladies well I will share my experience with plan B I had unprotected sex on the 9th of October and it was late so I couldn't get the pill so u got it the next day in the morning at 9 so roughly I took the pill 15 hours later and I was ok but still freaking out so I got a pregnancy test a week later and it was negative and also that week I got my period then in November I got my period but a bit late then now it's December and I haven't gotten it yet but I have back pain and a headache
Please help :("


"I took reclipsen for almost 3 weeks and couldn't even finish out the month. After the first few days I had pretty bad nausea, so I started taking it at night, that helped. But that's when the headaches started. All within the first two weeks my appetite went crazy (I am typically a very healthy eater) I've even gained a few pounds, I go to the gym about 4 times a week. I typically have very clear skin but I started breaking out all over. (Not just on my face)

I've had anxiety pretty bad and sometimes I want to cry for no reason!

My last straw, two days ago I got my first migraine since I was a kid. I have switched to Minastrin 24 fe and I am really hoping it works better for me. I know everyone's body reacts differently!"


"Due to new insurance, I switched form Ortho-Cyclen to Sprintec in March (starting my third pack of Sprintec now). I noticed a pretty significant change in my mood/attitude: I have a lack of motivation, increased feelings of sadness, and my energy level is lower than it ever has been. In the first month of taking Sprintec, I had a breakouts of acne, more than I usually had. However, this seemed to clear up and has not been a problem the last couple weeks. I'm hoping that my body is just getting used to the new pill and that everything will balance out and my mood will return to normal. Other than that, the pill does what it is supposed to!"


"A calm/relaxed/happy feeling, open to share emotional experiences with any one, have been known to flirt with the opposite sex, I'm normally quite shy"


"This medicine works like magic. I've been on it for 8 weeks now and my face is clear. Though my lips have been dry all through I really love how it works great and I think this is my best solution for my acne. I started with the 20 mg and I'm still on it until my dermatologist says it's okay for me to stop."


"I just got my Mirena IUD inserted yesterday. I am 20 years old, have a very small physique, and have never been pregnant so I was very nervous about insertion pain. Most women have claimed their insertion pain to be "the worst pain" they have ever experienced. This was not the case for me, at all. The procedure was surprisingly quick. The most painful part for me was when the doctor measured my cervix. Very intense pinching. I experienced a few of the most intense cramps I've ever had, but they were bearable. My doctor suggested I take 600 mg ibuprofen 40 minutes prior to the procedure, which I did, and she also used a local anesthetic on my cervix which probably helped quite a bit. Very little bleeding now. Happy so far!"


"I have had 3 surgeries regarding my spine. 2 neck operations, 1 low back discetomy. I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. I have elected several times to go without the medication to see how my body responds on other over the counter medications. Nothing worked. I also tried alternative medication prescribed from my pain management doctor to see if that would work, it did not. I have been taking Lortab 7.5 for 6yrs now responsibly and without it I have very poorly controlled pain."


"I've been on 4 different HIV combos since I was diagnosed in 2009. When I started treatment I had a viral load over 1M and a CD4 of 42. All of the other treatments did work however their side effects greatly impacted my quality of life. This is the first treatment that has had no apparent side effects."


"Abilify keeps me very well, and has improved my life, after spending 13 years sedated, this was a relief! Only side effect I get; bladder weakness."


"I find Fexofenadine HCL very effective against my allergies which seem to be a year-round problem, but I have also found it gives me a headache which doesn't go away with your average OTC medicines.  I tried my mother's prescription, same dosage, different manufacturer, and no headache (weird) so I may have my Doctor to give me some but otherwise it's GREAT!"


"Took a half of a pill for three days and felt like someone beat the life out of me. I could not sit, stand, breathe, talk, eat without my body in ridiculous pain. All there was left to do was sleep."


"My Dr. prescribed this after 80mg of Nexium stopped working but after a week of Dexilant, I'm stopping it because of the awful flatulence and abdominal pain starting about 12 hrs after taking it.   So glad to get validation here that others have had similar problems since the patient info says this only happens for a small amount of users.  "


"I've been having some discomfort that my doctor felt could be prostatitis. So, until I could get in for a CT Scan and also see a urologist, he put me on Septra DS.  Everything was going fine until day 6.  I was on my 23 anniversary weekend and I got up that morning to take a nice hot bath in the hot tub in our room. When I got out of the hot tub and started to dry off I noticed hives on my inner thighs.  Looking in the mirror, I noticed that I was also covered in hives from my armpit to my waist on both sides.  The culprit?  Septra DS.  Within the next few hours I was covered on my back, stomach, legs, arms, and a few on my lips. Allergic reaction."


"Caused a lot of weight gain."


"Severe dizziness and tiredness had to stop taking after two days :-("


"I took Chateal the first time yesterday at 8pm and at 3 am I suddenly woke up, because I needed to throw up. This went on for the whole night."


"I began using Nasonex to help with nasal congestion and snoring. Worked really well. I was also on Cymbalta and Lamictal for depression. About the same time I started the Nasonex, I began to suffer from acute, chronic migraines, as many as 20 per month. I went through 5 different neurologists/specialists during a SIX year period in which I was more or less bedridden. When the drug company stopped supplying it in September, I had to stop taking it, and haven't had a migraine since. Doctors need to be made more aware of the link between Nasonex and migraines. This condition is incredibly hard to diagnose and treat, as everyone has different triggers. Doctors don't know- for six years they got nowhere-- I was the one who figured it out."


"I was depressed and sad with no motivation. I had suffered several losses and could not seem to recover. Developed anxiety.  I just wanted to be my carefree busy self again. My Dr gave me 100mg Welbutrin.  I took it for a few weeks and felt just weird, not better.  My Dr suggested I double the dose.  ! I took 200mg and immediately felt suicidal. My bf had to restrain me from jumping out the window or slicing my throat. The mist awful feeling of my life. But I learned that compared to that feeling, I wasn't that depressed and I went on trazadone for sleeping issues. Helped greatly. As  well as strenuous exercise an hour a day.  I'm sure some meds work, but I feel as if you are playing Russian Roulette with your life."


"I had Mirena placed in July of 09. It was very painful. I had cramping and bleeding for a month, which I was told was normal.  The bleeding eventually stopped and now I have what I guess you could call a period.  Brownish discharge with clots. I've been told it's old blood. I've had cramping off and on and usually a dull pain on my right side. I recently started having a burning irritation at the opening of my vagina. I went to the doctor because I thought it was a urinary tract infection.  I was told it was yeast infection. I took a 3 days of Diflucan. Was treated again for 5 days. Was told everything is fine now. Still having burning. I think it's the Mirena."


"I have been taking this for two weeks and I cry literally ALL the time for no reason!! It makes me feel insane! DON'T take this pill!"


"I was suffering with terrible panic attacks for a few years before the attacks became more and more severe and i was starting to have the panic attacks more often. I hope none of you ever have to go thru even one panic attack. I can't explain fully how they make you feel but I was sure during each time I had one of these attacks that I might actually die. So much starts to happen to my body during an atfack. My heart feels like it is going to literally explode. My breathing becomes hyperventalating. So finally I was prescribed 1mg of klonapin 2 x a day and it has worked wonders in helping stop attacks"


"My wife was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 2 months after I asked her to marry me, at age 19. Her symptoms were pretty bad. She was on Copaxone for over a year. It really didn't do anything for her. Then she went to a few more doctors who all said she had a aggressive case of MS. Her new doctor put in on Tysabri. She did very well after a couple months. She never had a serious set back. Then when we found out she was pregnant she went off of her infusions. After our baby was born 7 weeks later she had the most aggressive set back with her MS. She couldn't even hold our son. She decided to stop breastfeeding and to go back on Tysabri infusions. 3 weeks later she was able to hold him and is doing a little better each week."


"I'm 19 and never had kids. I had the copper paraguard IUD inserted 3 days ago. The insertion was a breeze. I took 800mg of ibuprofen a hour before getting it inserted. I felt light cramping during the insertion. And felt fine afterwards. I continued taking ibuprofen for the following day. I have light spotting that is beginning to stop. I just wore a Panty liner. I recommend it because its highly effective and HORMONAL FREE, I love the fact that there are no hormones in this bc  it also last 10-12 years and when you want to get it removed you are able to get preg right away. I recommend planned parenthood. I didn't pay anything.
I think its worth a try."


"This medication did not help my pain and made me feel "wired"."


"I have been taking this birth control for 5 months now! And ever since I started taking this birth control I have gotten an odd abnormal redness to my face, Gained 15 pounds, and haven't had anything but spotting for the last 4 months. "


"My doctor put my on Vyvanse for binge eating.  My entire day revolved around food and I would eat everything in signt then feel guilty and sick to my stomach. I ate when I was not even hungry and could not turn down food. Nothing I tried helped and over the last two years it has gotten so much worse.  I started with the 50mg dose and the first day I felt high but from the second day on I have not felt like that.  I have lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks and no longer think about food all day.  I drink a gallon of water a day and make much wiser choices about what I eat now.  I do not crave sweets or junk food any longer.  I am so glad to be on this medicine because I was at a complete loss about what to do."


"If taken when feeling "antsy", it relieves my symptoms fast."


"This medicine works great.  The price point is high, but you guys don't have to pay it. The manufacturer has a coupon that you take to the pharmacy that you can get online.  It reduces the copay to just $5.00."


"My daughter than 3 1/2 now 6 1/2 started the Lupron 7.25mg every 3 weeks.  She did have a small side effect of hot flashes and eating ups and downs.  This medication did take awhile for her blood estogen levels to even out but the medication worked as it should have. We hope to stop the Lupron if all goes well. If not we still have another 5 years or so of the shots."


"I was prescribed 1 gram (2 extra strength) by mouth every 4-6 hours for a severe tooth problem, cracked tooth in half, until I see my dentist on Friday. (It's Tuesday.) Does absolutely nothing for the pain. "


"Works well with controlling UTI.  This medication  will cause drowsiness.  Exactly what I needed was rest.  In my experience, about 30 minutes later, pain subsidies enough to tolerate."


"I have an 8 year old with ADHD, ODD & anxiety and a 7 year old with ADHD.  We tried everything before going to meds - healthy diet (no sugar/dyes), exercise, consistent schedule.  Both boys have taken Focalin XR for a year (started with low dosages and increased as they grew) and it's been life changing!  The meds have drastically improved their grades, behaviors and relationships.  Both boys take a small dose of Focalin with lunch to get through the afternoon and a small dose of Clonidine in the evening to slow things down for bedtime.  Focalin XR has been our saving grace - now instead of CONSTANT redirection, we can actually go do things and have fun.  The only side effects are suppressed appetite, but they are both a healthy weight."


"I took this 2 years ago at 150mg... lost weight, great antidepressant I'm on 60mg's of Prozac. Works very well too but thinking of going back to Zoloft because of weight gain, but I give it 10. Great medicine."


"The ParaGard was one of the most painful things I've ever done. I have had it for almost two years and that pain hasn't got any better. However to me the pain has been worth not getting pregnant before I am married!! Thank God I am almost married and am getting this IUD out MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cramps are unbearable, I bleed for weeks on end, and sex isn't good."


"I was on Yaz before and did just fine on it. They switched me to Ocella four months ago and said that it was the same but I am having such a hard time on it. I bleed heavy, cramp and have migraines for at least 10 days. It knocks me off my feet to where all I can do is stay in bed all day. I have to use double protection when on my period. I bleed so much the first month that I almost had my husband take me to the ER. I instead started taking iron pills to help me recover from my period. With all the scare on blood clots in the news I just called and asked my doctor to switch me to something else. The other thing was that I have zero sex drive and I can't lose weight."


"Let me start by saying that food has been a central part of my entire life. I'm a 69 yr old male who weighed 309 lbs when I started taking Qysmia in early February. I now weigh 288lbs. I've lost both my interest in eating and cooking. I've finally begun to eat, to live and not live to eat. This medicine may very well save my life."


"I got on Trinessa after giving birth to my son and I've only been on it for almost a month but I took one pill about four hours late and that same day I started my period and it's been on for 11 days non stop. And the nausea and throwing up is aggravating itself. I'm not going to wait for more side effects. I think I need to get off now."


"I have been on Vimpat for 2 months for seizures and at first it seemed like it was great because my seizures went almost completely away for the first 3 weeks, but then it seemed like they were coming back but not as bad, so I just increased it to 100mgs twice a day. Seems to be working pretty good so far. The problem I'm having with it is that my hair is falling out terribly and I can't remember anything! It's crazy! Just simple stuff that I know just slips my mind. It's very aggravating but rather not have seizures."


"For years I suffered migraines and I swore they were menstrual related and no one believed me until finally a nurse practitioner discussed Prementrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) with me.  My severe moods and migraines were relieved as long as I stayed on Zoloft.  PMDD is worse than PMS and I find not as easily diagnosed.  I have been having more migraines lately but I am not sure if I have missed doses or need to increase.  Zoloft has definitly helped me."


"Acanya is awesome. I had a pizza face and my mom got me some to use; my acne started clearing up in a few hours, and now a week later my skin is completely clear."


"So this is for you girls that are panicking right now because you had an "accident", RELAX. This works. Me and my boyfriend were having sex and the condom broke and we didn't notice. It was a day before my fertile period began (according to my period app which can be wrong). I took the pill after about 9 hours of the incident and got my period 2 weeks earlier than when I was supposed to. It was such a relief! Just make sure you take it within 72hours and it will work! Don't worry!"


"I will say good for the most part. My wife was on zyprexa for a while but did not like it (did not know exactly why) and was chaotic.  Hospitalization after hospitalization. But since switched to 20 mg olanzapine hcl, it's like a night and day difference, and things are normal again. No more catatonia, abnormal activities, or thinking everybody is an enemy and conspiring. Now she takes daily doses on own without been reminded. Ask and actively participate in refills. Only drawback is the increase in appetite and likes to sleep till noon most days. O.k and can be corrected with little plan and coordination(daily goals, etc) compared to say, tardive dyskinesia and increase in blood sugar, which can happen with any psych meds. Pls. monitor."


"In less than a few weeks I had noticeable changes in swelling and use of my hands . I used it for over 5 years before it's effectiveness began to wane. Nothing since has worked that well."


"Worked really well when I was younger.  Now 30 years later, it isn't as effective,  and it causes stomach upset. Even when taken with food."


"I am excited about this healthy journey. I started taking Contrave Monday 24th (183lbs) , went back to the doctor Saturday29th (179lbs). So yes it is working for me 4lbs down and 3lbs of fat gone! I have not had any side effects and I pray it skips me... My goal is to be 160lbs by 11/21 if I lose more that will be terrific! However, I know it's not a quick fix more of  a lifestyle change which is why I am a pescatarian and loving it. I believe if you do your part (no junk, soda, or bad carbs)  Contrave will do the rest.

What makes it more worth the try was the cost. I use the coupon which discounted it to 90.00 plus my insurance covered it so I only paid 40.00 for a 30-day supply."


"The whole procedure of getting this birth control was simple. It didn't hurt at all and left a tiny bruise that went away quickly. It was great for about a month then I started getting irregular periods in the first few months. Then went on a 5 month long period. Always spotting. Off and on heaviness. Bad mood swings. At the 4th month, I started getting every symptom of being pregnant. Nausea all the time, breast tenderness, moodiness, bloated, sharp cramps, etc. I took 3 pregnancy tests, all negative. Finally got it removed. All symptoms went away not even 2 days after it was out. I didn't gain weight on it, I didn't get pregnant on it. But the other side effects were just too much for me to handle. "


"This has helped my allergies/eczema and asthma.  My IEG was pretty high, basically too high to see a difference. I do 2 150 doses every two weeks. It has changed my life."


"Worked well for me."


"So far so good, been taking it three days now.....been thirsty than usual, drinking lots of water, I've started exercising regularly daily. Some slight headaches, stomach cramp my second day on it. Some effect on sex moods, but not that bad. More energy for me, no drowsiness, some dizziness but not so much where its noticed. B/p good, feel laid back and calm."


"I have allergy-induced asthma, not true asthma. (sometimes my allergies and sinuses get so bad I get asthma attacks"). My allergy doctor prescribed Proventil HFA to me last year and though I don't use it often, it has helped when I needed it. Only one downfall, it makes me SO jittery. This is a common side effect because you're basically getting a shot of adrenaline in each puff. I find it's best to walk/move around a little after taking it to help wear off the jitters. Because of this side effect, I only use it when I really need it."


"neuropathy"


"WORST BIRTH CONTROL EVER! i had been on ortho tri cyclen lo for over a year or 2 and my insurance had just chose the tri lo sprintec for the generic brand. the pharmacist told me it was the EXACT SAME THING. no it wasnt. i felt fine my first pack and the right into my second pack i started to get anxiety attacks out of nowhere. i would just be sitting on my couch and my heart would start racing and it felt like i couldnt breath. i was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis 3 years ago and it completely made that flare up. on top of all that i was upset all of the time for no reason. i would not recommend this birth control to anyone."


"I was taking gabapentin for about 4 months and it really helped with the side effects and pain from Stenosis in my lower back which is trapping my sciatic nerve. However due to my ankles swelling and weight gain my doctor has switched me to Lyrica and OMG I'm only on day 3 and I want off it. Have decided to return to taking gabapentin as the side effects are nothing like I am experiencing now."


"I take Valtrex on a semi-regular basis to help my immune system. For example, I take one per day plus vitamin D and never get a cold sore. I did this for six months so I wouldn't have one at my daughters wedding! They always appear when I am stressed or in the sun. I still take them a few times a week and use an SPF sunscreen everyday which helps a lot. It can be expensive but I will pay anything if it works, forget the over counter stuff."


"Unbeliveable.  I have been in and out of AA for over 12 years.  My doctor gave me Campral to try and it has had a huge impact immediately.  That driving force in my head that used to take me to get a drink is gone. I spoke to my doctor today and asked if this was normal or was I imagining or talking myself into thinking it works and was told nope that's normal. It seems to work right away.  So I went on line to read reviews and I am having the same experience, that inner voice driving me to drink is gone and when I try to think about getting a drink it seems like my brain is blocking that thought from going forward.  Try it, you got nothing to lose and everything to gain."


"I wanted to prove to myself that I could take it, so I just gulped the stuff down as quickly as possible. Tastes like salty sour lemon candy and a little like bitter lemon.  Now I have to wait 5 years to have this much fun again. Not a pleasant experience but I can tolerate it every 5 years."


"This med had saved my life!!! I was addicted to heroin and xanax trying to always self medicate the effects of bipolar. I tried so many meds and had so many dangerous side effects like a bad rash from lamictal and muscles locking up from 3 other meds and had to get rushed to the hospital to get Benadryl shots. Ever since I've been on this I feel like I did when I was a kid very free and level, no crazy obsessive thoughts or cravings. I have not had a drug craving at all, nor do I want anything to do with drugs bc now that my mind is clear and balanced I have no use for them . This med definitely is the main thing helping me stay sober and it saved me from myself and my thoughts!!!!!"


"Sinuses started clearing after about two days but my tongue began to swell a little. I also had tongue soreness and developed ulcers on my tongue as well. Chest tightness also occurred. I will never take this drug again as this is the second time I've had a bad experience with it."


"For me, it took two patches but on the fifth day, they really started working!   I am 63 and have had trouble with overactive bladder for the past ten years, off and on. It gets worse depending on what I ingest food and medication wise. I am now in the bathroom every couple of hours instead of every half hour and always feeling the urge like I was. It's wonderful. Thanks for this product!"


"I love ambien! It is the only thing that works for me. A few yrs ago when I started becoming a worse insomniac nothing would work. I remember trying tylonal pm and at first one worked.. then had to bump up to two.. then so on and so on.. until one day I had taken way too many and a Valium and I still wouldn't pass out. I would be all drunk off the meds but it was like the light switch in my head wouldn't turn off. I slept maybe a nap here and there for about a week and was thinking of checking my self into a nutty house because I would drive somewhere without remembering all from lack of sleep. Very long story short ambien is the only thing to me that I take and feels like a natural lay my head down and go to sleep"


"Started reducing swelling after 1st dose
During severe gout attack in foot. After 2 days of 6hr spaced doses pain is gone and foot swelling is not visible. I would recommend for quick gout relief"


"I have fibromyalgia and couldn't handle the pain any longer. I went to the doctor today and they put me on Skelaxin. I took one pill and it was like a miracle. AWESOME. They also put me on Lyrica and I haven't taken it yet today. Hoping the 2 meds together will help."


"I developed anxiety over a couple months and would eventually not leave my house or my bedroom.  I was not sleeping and could not eat either.  OB did blood tests and told me I was premenopausal and prescribed Zoloft.  It has been a miracle for me.  I have experienced no side effects whatsoever and have been taking it for a year.   Did not want to have to rely on meds but I don't know how I would be without it."

"Has done a very effective job with my bipolar. Got off Xanax and Cymbalta.  The best thing is no side effects and has helped my social anxiety. Only need 0.5 mg. highly recommend. Never posted on meds before but feel strongly about this one."


"Loved the patch! Been using it for about 5 months. The first 2 months my breast were super sore but I went up 2 cup sizes! Soreness started to taper off after 2 months. Weight, acne, and sex drive did not seem to be impacted. If anything they got better. Only complaint is that the patch would sometimes cause my skin to itch a lot."


"I have suffered pain in my neck, shoulders, jaw, and suffered from migranes.  I have tried EVERYTHING (doctors, physical therapy, massage, accupuncture, psychiatrist, many meds). I was prescribed Lyrica for fibromyalgia pain, and chronic fatigue.  I was on almost the highest dose for 2 months and did NOTHING for me but make me gain 25 pounds!  I am 5'6" 125 and went up to 150lbs. 125 pounds is a high weight for me so 150 is too much for my frame. "


"I would not recommend this birth control to anyone. I know that everybody's body is different but if anyone has had the same experience I have had I feel super bad for them. I thought I would try the nexplanon out and the first few weeks went great. I have had it in for over two months now and it has caused depression, anxiety, and me to bleed every single day. It's effected my stomach and made me nauseous even. It's been so bad that I went to the doctor because I thought I was suffering from post partem depression but my baby is 5 and 1/2 months and I have not had it at all up until this point so it didn't make sense. Come to find out it's been this birth control. I am normally always happy but this has effected me bad. Just don't get it."


"Mirena has been the best decision I have ever made. I was trying different birth control methods, depo 2 years, switched to pills realized I had a forgetful problem and a sensitivity to estrogen therefore I was led to long haul contraceptive. I had done progesterone only BC to stay child free in my young college life. So mirena seemed  good option. I got it inserted at 18 I'm now 21 and I'm still in absolute love with it, it's me myself and my Mirena. Insertion was so painful not gonna lie. My periods are very light just like tiny amounts that only show up on toilet paper. Sorry but best way to describe it. I experience PMS symptoms for like a week or 2 leading up to these like fake no uterine lining periods. So yes that's what to expect. Definitely go for it."


"I began taking this in August (7 months ago) I have been such a happier person and not having cramps from my use to be periods is awesome, that only problem I have it that I am extremely bloated 3/4 weeks of the month and its started to really bother me with summer around the corner. Plus I don't like feeling bloated most the time"


"I take 5mg daily dose and OMG...this is the best thing since...whatever! Amazing erections, able to last longer and stay hard (and I mean "hard") throughout. Stays fairly hard even after orgasm for a considerable amount of time! No side effects for me. Very little stimulation needed to attain erection. The wife is ecstatic...I can't keep her off me. Middle of night erections are incredible, morning erections...all good...or rather...amazing! Also helped a lot with BPH symptoms...only get up once in the night now to urinate."


"Had preovarian failure at 30. Started on vivell dot and prometrium at age 38. Am now 60 and I will never come off. No side effects. I also added testosterone supplement injection and I am a new person. All this helps with mental stability and weight control and energy."


"Last year, when I had my first diverticulitis attack (a bad one), I was put on Cipro and Flagyl.  Condition did clear up although I was left with a nasty case of Thrush.  This time only on Cipro - don't find the one medicine alone very effective.  I'm nearing the end of my prescription (10 days of 2 per day) and still having some pain and nausea.  Will see my doctor next week."


"I started using Prevacid after several months (actually years) of a condition of acid reflux getting increasingly worse. Tums just wasn't working anymore, and I was crossing more and more foods off the list of what I could eat without getting severe heartburn. After several kinds of tests at a specialist, I was prescribed Prevacid. I couldn't believe how quickly and permanently my heartburn went away. I could even eat onions. There was one side affect though - frequent diarrhea for about the first six months - it really became kind of regular thing, but seriously, it was better than the awful heartburn. After the first six months, it went away and never returned."


"My 2 year old has been on this medication for 4 days and yesterday started having severe diarrhea.  Her little bottom is raw from it.  I have immediately called her doctor to have this medicine changed.  Apparently she cannot tolerate it."


"I got the paragard inserted at the time of my C-section (May 2013). I loved the fact that it had no hormones and so my periods were very consistent. It worked wonderful for about a year and a half. Then I got pregnant (October 2015). Sadly, it was an ectopic pregnancy and had surgery the same day the doctors found out it was in my fallopian tube and not in the uterus. The hardest part was being told that there was heart activity. So I lost the baby and my left fallopian tube. Despite the scary experience I went through, I would still recommend the paragard. I don't necessarily believe the paragard IUD is to blame because it was working wonderfully,  therefore I didn't find the need for regular check-ups and believe I am part at fault."


"This birth control was the worst experience of my life. It gave me horrible breakouts for an entire week during each month and I gained a significant amount of weight. I stayed on it hoping it would get better but it never did. I've finally switched brands and finally seen improvement in my skin."


"Diarrhea after day 2, i stopped after 7th day when i started vomiting, by then, sinus infection was twice as bad. & this med added, bronchial infection, sneezing, itchy eyes & nose. I feel like the Dr prescribed it to watch me like a ginnue pig. Dr office just said, well those are the side effects."


"I got this medicine to help with spasms which it did, helps me "shut down" at the end of the day too. I do have a few hallucinations with it before I fall asleep and seem to have increased bad dreams, also dry mouth but I do think the benefit really outweighs the side effects."


"I got three injections, a week apart.  The first two didn't hurt at all, but I got the third one from a different doctor and it hurt.

After the first injection, my knee felt swollen on the inside and stiff, it got worse with each new injection.

I used to have pain pretty much only when I went on the stairs or twisted the wrong way.  Now it feels swollen in the joint and on my leg from a few inches above the knee to a few inches below the knee.  Like I am wearing a super tight bandage.  The pain has increased to the point it is really painful to go up or down the stairs and even at night lying in bed, it's hard to find a comfortable position because it feels like someone is drilling into my knee."


"This is my 4th month on this pill. My gyno switched me from Loestrin to this because I was having in between spotting and cramping. I am 43 and have been on some form of bc pill for a long time. It made me nauseous the first two months. Periods were much shorter and lighter but cramps were kind of bad. Now on my 4th month I had a day of spotting, no cramping, and that's it. No period at all. I ALWAYS have a period. So not sure if this is a good or bad thing."


"I am a recovering heroin addict, sober now for 4 months, and had I been prepared or well informed on this whole situation I may have waited. Anyways, I am 23, never had kids, 1 abortion...and a failed pregnancy.
Anyways. This was all my mom's idea, never really used bc pills because hormones made me nuts, the pain of the insertion was unbearable for me, and the ride home I felt I was going to vomit.
The pain is uncomfortable, I have not experienced menstrual cramps since maybe 5th grade. Not only that, my periods were always ridiculously irregular and for a good year I never even had a period. I am sweaty, cramping, and dizzy. I am hoping this will all be over soon, ibuprofen and Tylenol I don't believe ever works. Just got today."


"I'm only 18 my boyfriend and I had sex and the condom completely broke. Definitely not ready to have a kid. I took the pill about 1 hour after the accident. I am over the weight limit for sure. I had awful awful stomach pains. Sharp pains. Cramps. Breast tenderness.  I was so scared I was pregnant. I stressed for a while and waited for my period. It came! 1 day late!!! I read a ton of reviews because it helped me with the stress. and I never believed everyone when they said don't stress it will be okay. Especially since I'm over the wait limit. But the pill really does work! So thankful for this pill! Now I can go on stress free! I can't tell you to not stress because you will stress about it anyways. but everything will be okay! goodluck!!"


"I started contrave on Dec1st at 213 lbs. It is now March 22nd and I have lost a total of 38 pounds! I can't say enough about this medicine. I did have some side effects at first. Dry mouth, anxiety, slight headache but nothing to keep me from taking it. Actually the first 2 weeks i felt amazing! I will continue to take contrave and hope to reach my goal of another 30 pounds. Also I have noticed that I can't take any other meds while on this medicine, not even Tylenol, makes me sick. But other then that i love it."


"I really didn't know I had a problem with anxiety until I started this medication for a bout of situational depression (my husband leaving me while I was deployed), and as soon as I started taking it, it was like all of the horrible cloudiness that kept me awake every night, that I dubiously named depression, completely subsided. I had had anxiety all along, and probably my entire life. I have been using Celexa (5mg) on and off for a few years now, when things seem to just spiral out of my control, and it has been wonderful, and worked perfectly every time, immediately, with no side effects. I am beyond thankful."


"This drug has changed my life. First anti-depressant I've ever taken and it was the best decision I've ever made. The day after taking for the first time, my anxiety was gone - I felt like I could breathe again - and I woke up with purpose and optimism. Nausea, intense thirst, dry nose and throat the first couple of weeks, along with night terrors. Taking doses with food and TONS of water helped my nausea bearable. Slowly worked my way up doses every 2 weeks: 5mg, 10mg, then 15mg. About three weeks after starting 15mg all of the side effects were gone. If you're experiencing these side effects, keep at it and give it a chance! I'm so glad I pushed through the nausea, etc. because this drug has helped me immensely!"


"Don't be afraid! It was extremely painful for me, emotionally and physically, but I trusted my doctor, and it made the whole procedure so much easier.
I got my IUD in at 10am and was in bed the rest of the day with the most excruciating cramps for about 24 hours following. I faithfully applied a heating pad and doterra's deep blue muscle relaxing cream and felt like a new person the following day! I even exercised pain free.
For those of you considering getting an IUD I highly recommend going to a doctor with a record of inserting IUD'S. Avoid planned parenthood if you can, and make sure you're on your period when you get it inserted. Good luck ladies! Power to the vagina."


"I've had nexplanon for 10 months at first it was ok.  I had my period regularly but these past 5 months have been horrible, fatigue is my biggest concern on top of that side effects came in like sweating and no sex drive, huge mood swings, I can't wait to get it out! I guess it's not for everyone which sucks cuz it's really good at not getting you pregnant"


"Allows me to function."


"I've been taking this medication for many months now. I take it on work days mostly & days when I need to get up and go. I still have depression and sometimes it's hard to sleep but not always. It helps if you love food because I don't over eat but if I forget to bring a snack to work I get a little nauseous or I just feel super hungry by the end of my shift because I forget about food for like 7-9 hours. I try to eat food before I take it. Girls at work ask me what helps me be confident and sell stuff and I tell them vyvanse. I have depression and anxiety but this helps so much. I do feel really tired and like I don't want to do stuff on days I don't take it and after it wears off. So my doctors trying me on brintellex or something too."


"I have been taking Buspar for about 6 yrs for anxiety and panic disorder. I started out 10 mg morning and night. When my anxiety got better, I just took it at night. 3 weeks ago I had another panic attack and have been sick with anxiety ever since. Dr. told me to start taking it twice a day again, which I did and already better. I don't tolerate antidepressants at all....so this medicine is a miracle for me."


"This stuff gave me the worst chest pains and such bad heartburn"


"This is very effective, safe and well tolerated medicine. Preferred in Metabolic syndrome."


"I have been on Qsymia for 5 weeks now and the only changes I have noticed in me and my body is that
caused dizziness and nausea initially. I have maybe lost 1 lb since I started taking this medicine but worried about the side effects so stopped. "


"Yes.

Under a Dollar.

Tastes Like A Sour Candy--yum!

Gentle and doesn't make you explode like a traditional laxative.

Works for Several Days--watch what you eat the following few days."


"Didn't do anything for me. I still have severe acne like always. It's been 2 years but no fix. Tried doxycycline, minocycline and this. None of them ever worked. I also have super oily skin and this medicine doesn't fix that. It only kills the bacteria, which in my case is not a big problem. Oily skin is giving me acne. Plus I was applying erythromycin 2% on face. Nothing happened. Took it for a month. Finally going on Accutane soon. It was the last resort for me."


"I am 53 years old and have all the menopausal symptoms.  My life was a living hell.  I went to my MD and she recommended Angeliq for a period of 6 months.  I believe it took about 3 weeks to really work into my system and has been doing wonders from severe hot flashes to almost none.  I sleep pretty comfortably now.  The only discomfort I had was breasts that weight a ton for a while but I am OK now. I believe I will use it for another six months and then consult my MD again. It is really a great drug."


"I took a 6-month course of fluconazole beginning in the Fall of 2013 for a moderate, but long-term case of toenail fungus (both big toes). One nail is now clear and has reattached. The other is now worse and I just completed another 6-month course. Am hoping for resolution. I'm also using Penlac on it. Lamisil (oral) made me feel awful, or I would have used it instead."


"I tried this drug a few years ago when I was first diagnosed with tinnitus. After a couple nights of taking it the ringing became louder."


"I had a torn meniscus and surgery was necessary.  When they went into the knee I was told the knee was full of arthritis and the physician had to clean the knee out leaving bone on bone.  They suggested Orthovisc which I agreed.  It has been two weeks since the third injection and I am in more pain then ever.  I have no relief at all, living on anti-inflammatories with little benefit. I am really hoping for relief soon because I am confined to bed with ice packs."


"I got the Nexplanon implanted in April of 2016. I had long periods that were pretty heavy so I needed a bc to help regulate things. I'm bad at remembering to take pills every day at the same time so when my Dr recommended this IUD I happily accepted. After insertion I didn't get a period until month 4 and it was about 5 days long and really light. Haven't seen one since and I love that part but now I'm completely done and want it removed. I have horrible cystic acne on my face, neck, back and shoulders that I've never had and it hurts like hell. My skin has gone from smooth to bumpy and rough all over my body. I get headaches all the time and my anxiety and depression have sky rocketed due to this terrible acne and the 30 pounds I've gained"


"Treatment for ADHD save my life. Don't believe all the hype and the stigma around this diagnosis and treatment. It is a real condition there is real treatment and it makes a real and profound difference to the lives of people with this debilitating condition. So don't be afraid to seek help if you think you might have ADHD it is not just childhood illness in in my opinion it generally consists persists in some form for the duration of your life just like any other disease"


"Ativan does not help my constant state of anxiety. I always have tight feeling in chest and jittery body movements.  "


"I have only been on this medication for about a month, and I've felt the best I've felt in over two years. I feel my self esteem has increased, as well as toleration of speaking to people and being in crowds. Only thing is that my appetite has gone up somewhat, and I've gained a little weight. But that is only a small price to pay for a happier life."


"I use to cry from the pain caused from Acne pimples and the low self esteem that comes with disfigured skin until I saw Aczone commercial. I couldn't believe the results by week 12 it cleared my skin for the first time I could touch my face . I used Cetaphil foam face wash and moisturizer as well for oily skin it works people try it and good luck"


"Took for 5 days and it did not work at all. It actually feels it's gotten worse. Also had stomach cramps and upset tummy through the course. Going back to doctor for followup."


"I started this birth control to clear up my acne, prescribed by my doctor. My acne has gotten way worse and I have gained 10 pounds, with the same diet and exercise daily. (I eat clean.) My breasts went from a B to a D, so thanks. But over all, this medication was a bad experience."


"I took 20 MG Benicar as an alternative to Lisinopril which caused a cough.  With Benicar, the cough went away after a few weeks but a new side effect took its place: I would wake up in the middle of the night with a sore chest and upper back pain.  Its a shame because during the day, Benicar had no apparent side effect and kept BP at 128/79."


"I have acne and dry skin, my dermatologist suggested using Cetaphil Lotion, but it makes my skin burn and get red, and my dry skin gets worse."


"I'm on my second pack about 2 & a half weeks in. So far I feel better overall with my mood besides the fact that life's been stressing me out. My only complaints are the acne and my breasts grew so much and I'm having a hard time with how much they've grown so quick. I also feel hungry all the time and feel like I've gained weight. Other than that it's helped my mood turn from sad and moody to pretty calm and happy"


"I have been on the patch for three weeks now and the first week was horrible I was very tired and nauseous and week 2 and 3 have been great and I'm sexually active and it has not affected me in any way in the area, the sex is still great. No period yet but this following week is my one week they suggest you keep the patch off and continue it the following  week so let's see what happens."


"I'm hoping my comments reaches out to those who like me gave up on medication time and time again as it affected their work outs. As a long distance runner and someone suffering from years of major PTSD and Anxiety, it was nearly impossible to have the stamina to run while on meds. I'd have to grin and bear the struggles of my PTSD without meds during my years of marathon training. Cymbalta and Latuda have been the perfect combination for me. Though Latuda is more for Bi-Polar, it has helped many people with PTSD, like myself. I have no weight gain and I have plenty of stamina to do my running. I'm so grateful to God and my doctor for finding the best program for me. If you're an athlete, help is out there."


"So far, so good! I recommend getting a few months of samples for anyone looking to try it out. I have had NO side effects whatsoever, and very light to minimal periods. No longer having spotting/breakthrough bleeding or ovarian cysts. Definitely recommend."


"While it helped with urgency it causes dry mouth and worse a loss of sexual appetite."


"I used this product for bad periods, but it ended up helping my acne a lot. I have had bad acne since middle school and no topical treatments seemed to work. It was pure luck that I found a solution that helped two problems. The only issue I have is the price. I had to stop taking it because even with my insurance I could not afford it. I now take a generic form, Microgesten, and my acne has worsened again. It just depends on the person whether or not this product will work."


"I've been on this inhaler for almost a year now and continue to love it. Before starting Stiolto I was using the Symbicort and Spriva inhalers. Not only does Siolto work better for me but so much cheaper than using two inhalers!"


"I read so many bad reviews about nexplanon before getting it, but I kept in mind that everyone is different and so far its been great! I've only had nexplanon for about 2 weeks now, and so far so good! no side effects other than not getting a period which is great ( was supposed to get it a week a go and it did not show up). no mood swings or depression YET. insertion did not hurt at all, my arm was bruised for about 4-5 days but it didn't hurt. I will be back to give an update in a couple of months. it does not work the same for everyone, everyone's body is different, but I would definitely recommend this."


"Insertion was intimidating but wasn't nearly as bad as it looked.

I had a long period (8 days) the first month. Since then no period or spotting!

It definitely altered my moods. I cried at everything the first month in constant PMS. It helps to recognize it is the bc and not you being crazy. That's has calmed down and I am much more balanced now but still tear up easier than I used to.

I don't quite fit my clothes as well as I used to but haven't actually put on pounds I think it just shifted. So be aware and maybe eat a few more fruits than cookies.

Bad reviews can be scary but people are more likely to post about a bad experience. It's about knowing your body and if it doesn't work you can just have it removed no problem."


"I had the implanon for 1 yr and 11 months almost 2 yrs. This was my very first and only birth control I've used. Implanon doesn't have to be replaced until every 3 years but decided to take it out after trying it for almost 2 yrs. This birth control does what it's supposed to do it works plus you don't have to worry about until once every 3yrs . My experience was depression, weight gain, hair lost, anxiety, bloating, no sex drive and would get my period every 2 months and when it did it lasted up to 2 weeks. Took it out today hope things go back to normal. Any other birth control methods recommend?"


"Previously I was taking Ortho-cept, before that I was on Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo. Both of these were wonderful for my skin, which I naturally have troubles with. My insurance doesn't cover Ortho-cept so my pharmacy have me Apri. My face exploded and hasn't gotten any better after 3 months. I assume this is a permanent thing and I'm looking to switch to Tri-Sprintec. I normally have very painful abdominal cramps but Apri has helped a lot with the pain."


"I have been taking 15mg twice daily now for almost a year and feel like myself again. Once the side effects wore off I have been very happy and a lot easier to be around. My impulsivity has ebbed drastically and my temper has evened out. Love it, Thanks Doctor."


"Has been a wonder drug for me! Have suffered from extreme constipation for years. Now have a regular bowel movement about 2 hrs after I take it. Took about 2 weeks to work so give it some time! Have never had the diarrhea side effect."


"This is horrible! It only intensified the yeast infection! Immediate burnings and itching."


"It really works. I feel much more confident in myself. I don't have to wear a dark colored jacket all the time or limit my shirts to only tank tops. I'm SWEAT FREE. I can't wait to go shop for long sleeve and short sleeve shirts in any color I desire."


"Second injection started night and day sweats. This has increased to every 2-3 hrs during the day - less frequency at night. Dropped my PSA from 30  to .07 post prostate removal. Time on medication - 6 months."


"I had Mirena put in the last week of January, 2015.  For a couple of years I have been having very heavy periods so decided to do Mirena to tone them down.  Well, since I had it put in, I have been bleeding every day.  Not spotting, but bleeding.  It has now been almost two months and its getting a little sickening.  I also feel tired all the time and am going to start taking iron supplements and hope that that helps with the tiredness.  I don't have any cramping and occasionally have headaches, but they are not that bad.  I'm just hoping this bleeding stops soon."


"I have had horrible experiences with birth control, they made me emotionally crazy.  This birth control is awesome!  First month I had spotting for a couple of weeks, but by the 2nd pack it all went away and my periods are around 3 days and LIGHT. I used to have HEAVY, HEAVY bleeding and barely be able to get out of bed.  This has been great for me!"


"I was diagnosed w/ bipolar 1 at age 25.  My main problems are rapid cycling and manic episodes.  Though I feel I have received good medical treatment these past ten years (though not the first 15), when I had to stop taking lithium due to kidney problems, I began to lose hope that I would ever feel well (even for brief periods of time) again.  I am now taking trileptal as a monotherapy, and I feel the best I ever remember feeling.  My mind is finally quiet.  I am happy when I wake up in the morning.  I sleep soundly.  You are in this for the long haul whether you like it or not, guys.  Find a GOOD doctor and try this.  It may take a little time to get the dosage and timing correct, but it is worth the effort.  (No weight gain, either.)"


"I was switched to this pill from LoLoestrin Fe after changing my health insurance that didn't cover LoLo. I loved Lolo as I didn't get any side effects. Even aware of the horrible ratings that I read about Junel fe I decided to give it a try, becasue hey, everybody is different. HORRIBLE PILL. From the moment I started taking it I felt dizzy, had cramps, anxiety, mood swings, loss of energy and worse of all, I was getting migraines like almost every day. I also started to gain weight and THE HORROR... ACNE TOO! I told my OBGYN and we are going to try other method. Pills like this should not be on the market PERIOD and insurance companies should  not just take the cheapest stuff that makes their subscribers PAYING THEM miserable."


"After 10 days on Levaquin, my sinusitis is better but the side effects are killing me. My mouth is so dry and I'm having horrendous dreams that are so vivid and disturbing. I can't wait for the cycle to be over."


"I don't know if my doctor prescribed me the wrong dosage, but I was prescribed 10mg a day 3x a day as needed. I'm not going to say it did nothing for me, but it did next to nothing. Again, the dosage might have been wrong, but I was to take this in place on Klonopin and it just didn't help me with anxiety like Klonopin does. I actually switched doctors because the previous doctor I saw (in my opinion) did not know what she was doing. My current doctor said this was not the right med for me so he's stopped it and prescribed Neurontin in its place. I haven't started Neurontin yet, but I have a lot more faith in the new doctor I'm seeing so fingers crossed it will help me out."


"I love this pill! I had pretty bad acne before starting, and my face cleared up within the first pack or two. I have had no weight gain, and no cramping. I get slightly more emotional the week before my period with 1-2 bumps popping up, but other than that, this pill is great."


"Excellent medicine for me. Helps me a lot to move around and to have less exasperation's. Improves my quality of life."


"I was prescribed Wellbutrin XL 300mg after being on Cipralex 30mg for 6 months.  I noticed an immediate improvement in my mood, energy level and libido.  As with Cipralex I have had to get used to problems with falling asleep but I remedied this by taking the medication in the morning.  Normally I would not have/remember dreams.  Now I have such vivid and bizarre dreams that they are down right frightening or just weird.  Waking can be fun as well.  If I am woken up by a phone call, really disorientated.  Woke up randomly one night and didn't recognize my partner for long enough for it to be scary.  It helped me to be positive but it did not help my anxiety enough for me to be "normal".  At least I am positive about it not working for that."


"Anafranil made me feel alive again. I used to weigh 120kg before taking it. I lost 34kgs in 2 months."


"Gained weight and joint pain"


"I have 2 uterine fibroids and my periods are really heavy. I was put on this to manage the heavy bleeding. I have been using this for a year. The spotting has been horrible!  Over a month straight of spotting. I always spot one to two months before I am supposes to have a cycle. My Dr. says to stay with it and it will stop...and a year later..... still spotting. Not to mention the weight gain! I have gained 15 pounds within the last year!! I hate it. I will be switching to try a different one."


"Effective for birth control and less painful periods, but HOLY moly, NO NO NO  on depression and acne. I've been depressed before, but this birth control made have thoughts of suicide for the first time in my whole life. I felt like crying for no reason every day, I thought life would be better for everyone if I weren't here anymore...  I stopped taking it for 2 weeks, and for the first time in months, I feel like myself again. I feel like my head isn't on sideways, and I feel better. More energy, happier, no crying... My face broke out like crazy and I've always had normal skin. Not worth it for me. I'd rather take a few days off every month due to painful cramps than be crazy and pimply."


"I thought it was super easy, didn't have any nausea or cramping.  Was fearing worst and it cleaned me out by 3 am.  Expensive at $50 but covered by my HS card."


"I have been on this pill for almost 2 months, being the first pill I've ever tried. I have no complaints in the effectiveness, when taken the same time every day, give or take 5 or 10 mins, it prevents pregnancy. However, I've unfortunately suffered the side effects, the first month I was spotting for about 2 weeks until my period which thankfully was now only 2 days long vs my previous heavy 5-7 days I normally had. I had intense headaches, nausea, and occasional mood swings. Another side effect that wasn't common (as far as I can see from these reviews, yet still possible) vaginal itching in this second month. It is bothersome. Yet, these side effects seem to be diminishing, I'm not complaining, this is just my body getting used to it."
