"Have been getting monthly Lupron 7.5 mg injections since July 2014 (just had my 8th injection). No hot flashes; some mood swings and I recently started having arm and leg cramps a few times a week. Taking Casodex 50 mg daily as well, so it's hard to know which to blame. PSA was 205 when I started these meds and is now 0.03. I believe the complete lack of hot flashes may be due to receiving the monthly vs 3 or 6-month injection dose. I hope this information helps others."


"In the treatment of my severe chronic asthma, this medication is best at managing my condition. I take it subcutaneously once each month, two injections of 150 mg each."


"Treated daughter as directed with Sklice, and 5 days later, live lice reappeared.  Disappointed to say the least after washing bedding, putting away stuffed animals, etc.  Any health care provider I talked to about the re-occurrence said that you MUST comb out the nits even though the Sklice directions and website advertise that no combing is needed.  Feel greatly misled."


"The absolute worst experience with an antiemetic I have ever had. I literally panicked in the hospital to the point I almost pulled my iv out. Zofran stopped working for my hyperemesis gravidum...but I would rather live with nausea vomiting day in and out then feel the uncontrolled anxiety and restlessness I felt with compazine!"


"I took 2 pills at 6 pm right after supper and by 3:30am I woke up to excruciating abdominal pain. I went to the bathroom and could not sit upright on the toilet. I sat there for about 15 mins and had a bowel movement. I crawled back on the bed and almost passed out. I was sweating so bad and cold chills. I'm jerking all my clothes off laying naked. I was hurting so bad. I moaned and rolled on the bed from the pain. It's 7:35pm the next day, been over 24 hours since taking the medicine and I'm still cramping. I've had 6 bowel movements so far. I thought maybe my body just couldn't handle laxatives but reading other reviews it could possibly be the product. Never again will I take a laxative."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I went for colonoscopy and Doctor told me I needed endoscopy as well. In two weeks I've got phone call that I have H Pylori infection in my stomach and prescribed Pylera. I was taking 12 tablets a day and 1 tablet of Protonix for 10 days and now I feel much worse than before. Before I was healthy and now I am sick to my stomach."


"Great help with anxiety and insomnia.  Had no side effects."


"My Dr. retired & his replacement stopped 5 of my drugs (all now prescribed by specialists). However, Premarin was stopped for 1one anda half months. Two weeks later, 40 hot flashes a day began. I felt like I was going to die. Finally, an endocrinologist re-prescribed Premarin but only 1/2 the dose I had taken for 32 years (since 40). Hot flashes are still outrageous. All my sisters have osteoporosis, but not me (I took HRT).  In the time it was stopped, I lost weight, lost 1" in height, about 20% of my hair, and I'm so tempted to order it online without a prescription so I can take the other half of my regular dose. Desperate people do desperate things."


"It is the only insulin that gives me instant results (within 5 minutes)."


"Well, it worked well for me. I took it back in the early 90's as a young teenager with moderate acne.  The side effects are bad though, really bad.  My skin was so dry, as were my lips and scalp.  I was sick, had a lot of pain and anxiety and then depression.  I took a 6 month course and it was recommended that I take a second about a year later but I couldn't face the idea of the side effects. It did, however, do miracles for my skin, it has remained clear some 20 yrs later."


"My starting weight was 285lbs. After a 3 months, I am 245lbs. I take 37.5mg in the morning and 15mg around 2pm. I will admit that in the beginning I was not eating as healthy as I should have been. Now I don't crave the sugar and fats that I used to. My once favorite food, Philly cheesesteaks, are only mildly appetizing to me. I have to remind myself to eat during the day. The only problem is that if I stay up too late I do start to crave junk food, carbs mostly."


"I had the Synvisc 1 over a year ago in my left knee, I work 12 hour days and am on my feet a lot. I am still satisfied with the results."


"Used to get hallucinations at times in the night after using pioglitazone. Scary side effect. My doctor changed me over to a different combination."


"Did not help me fall or stay asleep. Side effects: headaches and terrible taste in mouth."


"Sharing my experience on this medication because of how afraid I was to take it, in hopes that I can help someone in a similar situation. I have had diagnosed depression and anxiety for years and have tried all different medications to no avail until Lexapro which has helped the most with my depression, but never really touched my anxiety. The problem is that lately the Lexapro seemed to not be working as well despite dosage increases months back, and I had absolutely ZERO sex-drive, which was really affecting my relationship. I just started Wellbutrin (XR) and it has already proved life-changing in just a little over a WEEK. I feel SO much better. Way more motivation, energy & it's helped my anxiety which was unexpected! Good luck!"


"Amaryl has worked for me beautifully."


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


"Best medication ever! I started taking it at 9 weeks after loosing 10lbs I'm on my 17 wks and tried to stop it for one day to limit the use but the nausea is still going So I guess I'll keep using this medication because is the only thing that seems to help. 100% with only 2 tablets at night"


"I suffered debilitating Gout foot pain, due to my love for animal-based protein. With Allopurinol daily, I can eat those foods again...just in moderation now. I am a fit, lean 51-year-old Mountain Biker, who rides 3-4x a week. Side effects are nighttime itchy arms and back. I hate taking any meds - but Allopurinol is cheap and now part of my daily dosing. I also had to stop taking daily Aspirin(325mg) as it was amplifying my Uric Acid levels."


"By 3rd night of use, it became ineffective. My system built up tolerance quickly. Fourth night I took 40 mgs and only 4 hours of sleep. Dr. just prescribed a months worth. Now I must find an alternative while I ween myself off temazepam. Not easy since I wasn't getting any sleep at all before I started."


"This product is horrible. You would think that after applying this cream you would feel like at least somewhat better and at ease, well that's not the case here. It made my lady parts burn and itch to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and had to take a shower for 40min and I'm still in discomfort! And no it does not feel better after 3 hours, yes your symptoms of the YI improve but I'm telling you it's not worth it!"


"I was addicted to all forms of drugs for 9 years, but my main problem was with the opiates; pain pills, heroin, even opium occasionally. It was seriously ruining my life and was creating more and more problems every day. When I turned 20 I knew I had to make a change or else face death or jail. I was put on Suboxone 8mg 2x a day and my world went from very dark to something that was manageable. Within weeks I was a totally different person, even enrolling to get my high school diploma (I had dropped out in 10th grade). I have been on Suboxone for almost two years and people always tell me that I am just unrecognizable compared to who I was a couple of years ago. I've been slowly weaning down and I am now at one 8mg pill a day. It was a blessing!"


"I've had chronic constipation for 8 years now and I can go anywhere between one to three weeks without a movement. My doctor prescribed me Amitiza and I'm now having a movement every other day. The only reason I didn't give a ten is the side effects are brutal. I've eaten a full meal and drank water and I've still gotten terrible nausea and I've even vomited from it. And the headaches don't give a good impression either. But I would rather deal with that than the horrible constipation. Overall I love it!"


"This helped me a lot when I started taking it about six months ago. I had to switch over from Celexa because of the recent problems Celexa has caused.

Just recently, however, Zoloft has completely stopped working for me. I feel like I haven't felt in years: a deep sense of sadness that has nothing to do with my current circumstances. All brains are slightly different, though, so I don't mean to imply that this won't work for others."


"I have been using Levemir for 3 1/2 weeks.  My fasting blood sugar went from 208 to 123 and I have lost 9 lbs.  It is very easy to use.  Feel better than I have in over a year!"


"At the beginning I had stomach pain, however, after a few weeks it went away.  Feel great now!"


"I am a 34 year smoker.  I am on my 4th week of Chantix. Could not quit on "quit date" because my urges were just  too strong to resist still.  I have cut down from a pack a day to 5-8 cigarettes a day.  I am scared it won't work and I won't be able to quit.  The cigarettes I am smoking now are because of the strong physical urges, the "habit" urges are gone. They don't really taste good anymore though and there is no satisfaction when I do smoke, but I can't seem to stop these last cigarettes that I am smoking now.  I still have another whole box of Chantix to take though, so we'll see."


"Part 2) Still frustrated by toenail fungus, in June 2017, I asked a foot doctor to prescribe generic Lamisil. Less than a week after I started taking it, I started getting fevers & chills, my urine turned dark, I had a loss of appetite, trouble sleeping and felt itchy all over. I felt terrible but hoped I could get through it by taking Advil for the fevers/chills and Benydryl for the itching. Then I got a rash on my upper body again. None of the other side effects were going away. I discontinued use. Lab work showed my liver count was high. After a few days off Terbinafine all negative side effects have stopped. I will go back for lab work again next week and expect it to show my liver function to be normal.  Use caution with this drug!"


"I have been on a bunch of different pills trying to find one that actually worked for me. Previous to this my experiences were heavy periods, terrible cramps, headaches, weight gain, constant spotting, 2 week long periods, anxiety which I never had before going on the pill. I did some research and found that apri contained a different type of estrogen and asked my doctor if I could try it. I'm so glad I did it's been 2 years and all I get is a headache around the time my period is due. I have pretty normal periods and they actually stop when they are supposed to. I get a little spotting the week after but I can deal with it. It normally lasts an hour and goes away."


"I have been on Belviq for a month now, and I have lost 10 pounds!! My clothes are starting to feel lose. And I love it!! Belviq does make me sleepy and I have dry mouth... But hey that makes me drink more water all day. It is pricey but worth it. I will update by my third month."


"I just wanted to add my experience with Nexplanon because there are a lot of negative reviews up here that really worried me when I read them right after I got it inserted. I'm 19 and I got my implant in January 2017, got my period a week or so later for about 4 days, and haven't had it since. At first this concerned me a little but it's really just a signal that the hormones are working. I experienced no weight gain and no acne troubles either. I'm not sure if this is relevant but I feel as though I can attribute my lack in side effects from getting the implant directly off of 2+ years of birth control pills. I did experience minor changes in mood a few weeks after insertion, but I have been feel completely normal since then."


"Ever since I had Implanon inserted I was not having any kind of side effects until 3 months later I noticed my periods real heavy and lasted for a week which is not normal for me. 2 weeks later after my period is non stop I spot everyday and on days will have heavy bleeding. Implanon is not for me. "


"I have just about menopausal symtom listed and it makes my life extremely difficult. Sweats, mood changes, muscle pains, depression, general irritability, you name it, I have it.

I was on Angeliq for 2 months and felt tremendous relief after 15 days. I did a BP checkup once and had a slightly increased BP (140/100), got afraid and stopped (BP could have gone up for 1000 various reasons, right).

All the symptoms came vack within 5 days, with vengeance. I have been consuming large amounts of soy, macca powder, linseed oil, as well as started raw food diet. Nothing helped, not even a slight bit.

I decided to go back on Angeliq as soon as possible, my checkup is OK

Really helpful medication"


"Our 6-yr-old daughter has been on this for 6 months.  At first we also thought it was a miracle drug. Her handwriting improved tremendously, her attention span was great, etc., however, it did wear off around 3 PM and we were in for a horrible evening every night.  We tried a booster of 10 mg of methylphenidate at 3 PM but that has just brought out oppositional-defiant disorder.  We now are about to try Concerta.  I definitely would recommend Metadate CD, though, because for the most part it gave us back our daughter."


"I have bought this medicine for the first time. For the first two weeks of taking it I had bad dreams, a little nausea but after 2 weeks my body (or mind?:) somehow got used to it and side effects disappeared. This medicine is really powerful. After 1 month I started to truely hate the smell of cigarettes. Now I am in the last week of prescribed course and still free from smoking."


"I've been on Paxil CR for about 4 months now. I would highly recommend it. My doctor decided to put me on it immediately after my suicide attempt. Today I feel great, have stopped crying and my suicidal thoughts are gone. Only bad side effect is my lack of interest in sex."


"I've had Implanon for about ten months now and it's definitely working for me. AT first, my period was very irregular, then it stabilized, but with two small periods a month rather than one big one, which was a bit annoying, but didn't last long. Now, after ten months, I have a normal period, no unexplained weight gain and no skin problems. All in all, definitely worth it, and so much cheaper over a longer period of time."


"Those that first get Mirena should not be discouraged. In the first few hours, I experienced menstrual-like cramps. Then, I spotted for a straight two months! But, eventually, the spotting stopped and I've only spotted for a couple of day in months and months afterwords. I've had Mirena for almost a year and it's been a blessing knowing I'm protected and never have to worry about dates and times and 'did I take my pill today?'"


"I have been on this for nearly 5 years now and it has worked wonders for me. I am taking the modified release capsules 80mg a day, I was on 160mg but wanted to cut down a bit. Anyway I feel great. Have not been so calm in ages and has made me more calm and confident. I strongly recommend."


"Doctor prescribed me this medication for my elevated blood pressure. Mostly due to my anxiety. Only took pill for 2 days before ending up in the hospital for an extreme heart rate. Stopped taking the pill. But suffered with fast heart rate for the next 2 days."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I have been taking Ferrous Sulfate for more than a year now. Something of surprise to me is I used to have Restless Legs Syndrome but now I do not have it anymore. I take ferrous sulfate 3 times a day."


"I hate this birth control pill. It is the first Birth Control pill I have taken and I have taken it for one and a half cycles. So far I am not pleased at all! I take the pill at about 11:00pm every night and I haven't missed a day. About one week in I got acne which I haven't struggled with for several years (I am 23). I have gotten my period both cycles half a pack in and I also got it on the scheduled time after finishing the first pack. Basically I am getting a normal (heavy) period every two weeks. This pill has also made my breasts tender and larger (I have had to go up a size). I often don't feel well and have loss of appetite. Seriously go a different route this pill is terrible!"


"I tried this one night, and it didn't do much.  I have struggled with insomnia off and on for 30 years.  I then took a 20 mg. dose, and it really helped.  I woke up refreshed. If it continues to work like this, I will be very satisfied."


"At first, lung function was markedly improved, then I started having rapid and irregular heart problems, along with high blood pressure. Because I was also taking Atrovent, my Doctor told me that I shouldn't take both. He decreased the Spiriva and my heart problems subsided. Unfortunately, I have lost some lung function, my activity level has decreased probably 70% and I am living on inhalers every 3hrs. And I feel like an elephant has parked himself on my chest! Quality of life is minimal so I'm ready to resume taking Spiriva."


"Started May 8 and two weeks later had full blown period with bad cramping lots of blood clots and heavy bleeding. Prior to taking this medicine I had extremely light spotting once every4 to 6 weeks.  According to the FDA I should not have been taking this since I was post menopausal"


"I have found that Metrogel works wonders for me. It made a difference the first time I applied it! (Applied at night, woke up in the morning with noticeably clearer skin.)

It is recommended to use it twice a day but I just apply it once, at night (because it causes a filmy layer over the skin and I wouldn't want to go out in public like that!) and that seems to be enough for me."


"I thought it helped a lot, not a miracle or anything of course. I felt better and did not have any sleep issues while using it. I hope that is just dependent on the user."


"I started this birth control about a week ago and 2 days. Today I will NOT ever be taking this pill again and calling my doctor come Monday morning. I took this pill after doing some research and seeing if maybe the cause of my severe depression and anxiety was hormonally related. My gynecologist didn't ask me any questions about my past hospitalizations due to suicidal thoughts/attempts. I read front and back this medication and only saw suicidal thoughts as side effects to the higher dose. Let me tell you this pill made everything 100% heightened. My anxiety has never been so bad. I took lexapro and trazedon together for 6 months and stopped because I couldn't function as a regular person. Talk with your psychiatrist & gyno before taking"


"I've been taking this medication regularly for the past month and want to cry.  I'm 20 years old, a healthy female, and was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri.  I call my mom nearly everyday complaining of a new pain.  From the horrible tingly sensation in my hands and feet, to the horrible confusion, and now extreme pain in my abdomen, I'm ready for this all to stop.  I'm on 500 mg/daily and can't even operate my vehicle!  I am always so out of it it makes finished my homework assignments difficult let alone to constant new pains I always complain about.  I am pretty tough but when it comes to seeing my doctor every week due to the side effects of this medication, it's not worth it."


"I have been on 300mg of Invokana for over 2 years and happy to say no bad side affects.  In the first 8 mths I lost approx 35 pounds from 270 to 235 with walking and trying to eat the right foods but not a perfect diet.  My A1C dropped
from 8.7 to 6.4 the first 6 mths. I think the weight loss and loss of appetite helped to lower the A1C as much as the medication.  But, who cares? I think my body is getting immune to it because I seem to be at a level where I'm no longer improving but I am holding at these levels which are much better than where I started.  I also take 2000 of metformin a day along with 2000 mg of cinnamon but these along with glipizide wasn't enough.  Thanks to the Invokana I'm in a much better healthy condition."


"Where do I begin, I have been on Nexplanon for about a year and a half now. There was no pain getting it put in, Easy, even for someone who is terribly afraid of needles. The real problem was after, I got so moody and crazy that I would start to cry about it. I was always apologizing to my boyfriend because I felt like I couldn't control my moods. It went away after a couple of months but it comes back here and there. Second, the weight gain. I have never weighed so much in my life, I gained about 30 lbs in the last year, regardless of how healthy I was eating. Third, the acne. I broke out like crazy! Oh and I feel nauseous all the time. The positives now. it controlled my severe cramps. I get a lighter period, even skip it sometimes."


"Natazia made me moody (teary-eyed for no reason), caused me to have periods ranging from 3 days to 14 days, and caused ocular migraines as frequent as 5 days in a row."


"HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE with this drug. Immediately after I used it at bedtime, I started feeling a burning sensation down there. I woke up at 3:30 a.m. with severe burning and couldn't go back to sleep. Then when I went to the bathroom, I was bleeding from down there, and no, it is not my monthly cycle. And it has not helped my problem; it made it worse. PLEASE, MONISTAT MANUFACTURER, TAKE THIS TERRIBLE DRUG OFF THE MARKET before more women have the experience I had. I would not even give this drug to a rat."


"I started taking solodyn 80mg for a month after stopping my birth control and developing cystic acne as a result of stopping it. I have the giant cystic ones that come back worse every time I stop an antibiotic for acne (2 rounds of doxy, 1 round of minocycline). So I took it for 8 weeks total and noticed significant hair loss over those eight weeks with mild improvement in my acne. I got less giant pimples that were deep and under the surface, but within 1.5 weeks of stopping, I have them probably worse than ever. Felt tired and lazy most of the time while I was on it and had trouble focusing. Not worth the side effects for minimal improvement. Hope you have better luck."


"Okay, So if your on here freaking out like I was.... stop. Seriously! Okay so me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex while I was fertile, he did pull out but pre cum is just as effective. So I freaked out, and bought plan b one step and took it 21 hours later. I felt nothing. No spotting, just my boobs were sore and I was tired and moody. I was expected to ovulate around that time too so that just made it worse, since it's less effective if you take it after ovulation. So soon enough I got my period the day before I was supposed to get it! My cramps are worse than usual, but it's better than being 18 and pregnant. Learn from this experience! But chances are your fine, so relax and go order some dominos cause plan b will do its job"


"After much deliberation and many, many meetings, we finally decided to put our 7 year old on low dose Abilify. My child is officially diagnosed PDD-NOS, which is an autism umbrella disorder. At first the low 2mg dose seemed pretty effective in controlling the anxiety and outburst. However; when our doctor prescribed a higher dose, 5 mg, the exhaustion and weight gain were out of control. My child gained roughly 45 pounds in six months. Even when we stopped the medication for the summer months. Abilify seems to make my child very hungry, but unable to convert any calories into energy, simply storing all food as fat. We came to the decision that the side effects were out weighing the desired effects, and are trying a new medication. "


"I have had my Mirena in for 21/2 weeks.  Before that I was on the pill for many years.  I am 36 and have had 2 kids by C-section.  My periods have been heavier since I had kids and I don't want to have any more.  I also have slightly high blood pressure.  Doc suggested we do Mirena because it is used to treat heavy periods, has no estrogen (which can contribute to high blood pressure) and circulates progesterone only in the uterus rather than systemically.  The insertion was...um...awful, but quick.  After that, just some cramping for the rest of the day and light spotting.  I few days later I actually woke up with a sex drive!!  Haven't had a period yet, but still have occasional cramps.  Over all, has been a good choice so far."


"While on Mepron, I noticed a gradual intensification of depression and psychological manifestations.  At first I was not concerned and just attributed it to temporary hormonal fluctuations or whatever.  As the fourth month approached, it had became much more intense and consistent. I was not making any progress in any other area and I could no longer deny the effect the Mepron was having on me.  Did not help me at all!"


"I was prescribed Bactrim DS for a Paronychia infection on my right index finger.  There was no apparent abscess so the doctor felt a script of Bacrtim DS would do the job.  After taking the first pill I began to fill dizzy and nauseous.  Over the next few days I had barely any appetite and wanted to sleep all day.  I felt like I could not get enough sleep.  I was also extremely sensitive to the sunlight which only enhanced my desire to sleep more.  Over all the infection did not appear to change in the 3 1/2 days on the antibiotic but that is not to say it did not work.  I just was not able to function on it therefore I called my doctor for something else."


"After not sleeping for three days went cold turkey from Ambien. Dont do this...and after watching the movie Munich, I had a full on Panic Attack.  At first I thought I was having a stroke then a heart attack. I felt my life force living my body then I got really scared of dying. I had a distinct taste of metal in my mouth and slight pain in my upper torso with trouble catching my breath.  Then I really thought I was having a heart attack. I called 911..they showed up an hour later.  My blood and EKG tested fine. No drugs or booze. I used to think panic attacks were all in the head and a joke...I learned my lesson. I take 0.5x2 a day. It helps."


"I've been taking Ambien (10mg) off and on for years. It tends to stop working if I start taking it too often, so I have to take breaks from it periodically. That's the only negative thing I have to say about it. When it works, it works perfectly and I've experienced no side effects."


"I was originally on Trisprintec and got switched to Trinessa and ever since have had nothing but problems I get a period every two weeks, I vomit all the time and have gained alot of weight.  I've been on this pill for 7 months now so my body should be used to it by now. Very unhappy."


"I have been told I had IBS in the ER. The doctor said MOM is very gentle if I got constipated and I do from time to time. So after feeling bloated and bound up I took the 2 Tbsp dose and waited...well in an hour I was almost running to the throne and every 15 minutes after for an hour. It does as advertised. "


"I have had hyperhidrosis since the 6th or 7th grade and it really is one of the worst things that you can have when you are trying to have a social life. I started hypercare 3 days ago and it works like magic. Like many others was stuck to wearing black and white Ts and tank tops. Not anymore. The first day I got it I wore grey. Not a sweat mark at all. The only downside is that the pain of it is horrible, because it burns so bad. I'm only on my third day and I hope that it starts to lessen soon but other than that, it truly is a blessing."


"I've had the Mirena for about 3 1/2 years @ first I experienced bleeding for about 4-6 months with only a few days of not bleeding in between (like some have said) I got it inserted after I gave birth to my son. After those first months of bleeding passed my periods became light and only lasting a few days. I love this because before I was a heavy, heavy bleeder! But recently I've noticed way more acne, along with bleeding (spotting) every 2 weeks. Now all of a sudden I had a heavy period again! Along with cramps and the same old stuff! I'm kinda scared because it has always worked extremely well for me! I wonder if all this is because it's getting closer to the 5 year mark! Can anyone relate?"


"I had Irritable bowel syndrome for about 7 or 8 years. Then I got pregnant back in 2007 and haven't had it since. In March of 2008 I had to have my gall bladder removed. About a month after that, I couldn't eat without getting sick. Sometimes it was so bad. I went to my doctor and he wanted me on the Librax (generic) and it's been a life saver. Even when I had IBS I couldn't eat the way I can now."


"I was having a bad panic attack/anxiety (slight depression as a result) relapse and in my haste I decided to try zoloft starting at 25mg. I took one pill and it resulted in: worse anxiety, cold sweats, trembling, a bad high feeling, panic, nausea, no appetite. I am still stuck with the effects to a lesser degree and it has been over 24 hrs since the dose. Truly feels like a Horrible MDMA high, with zero fun. Apparently takes 120-500 hrs to get out of your system fully from one dose. I have not had luck trying any SSRI's as my horrific side effects start immediately. I should have trusted my gut and gone through counselling again-which I am!"


"I had acne breakout since I was 13 and I started the medicine at the age or 23. In the six month process I had 10 mg to 50 mg intake which gradually was increased per month by my dermatologist...I would advise to take the medicine in guidelines of a doctor as he will help to minimize the side effects of the drug also will fix the maximum dose depending on the condition of the skin....I myself don't have any side effects at all only dry lips...But a good lip balm helped me through"


"This is the greatest solution to a problem that I have dealt with for years . This product has all the benefits of a steroid without the baggage of what Steroids cause . I highly recommend people trying this . It comes in a 60g tube which is the size of a tube toothpaste. Thank you Pfizer for this great product. Yes it cost me only $35.00"


"I'd been drinking for years and it got very heavy on the last two years and worse so in the last 6 months.

I failed with antabuse and doctor switched me just this week to this drug. It's been amazing. I went for a few social beers which were planned but I couldn't be bothered with drinking. I would normally have drank until I blacked out but I barely had any urge to drink anything. I had beers in the fridge and normally I would have drank them also after getting home, I woke up they were untouched and I just poured them down the sink.

It works!!"


"I was 18 when I used this. The only problem I had with it was emotional side effects. Bear in mind every birth control affects everyone differently. However I didn't even realize how bad it was getting until my boyfriend and I almost broke up because I was freaking out and over reacting to everything. It was awful. Oh and my breasts got bigger. But that was a positive thing.
I loved the NuvaRing because it was convenient. I switched from an IUD so I didn't want something that I had to take all the time like the pill (like most women). I didn't have any physical cramps or spotting and I left it in during sex and it never came out. Very useful.
I don't recommend you skip your period with this. It makes the emotional issues worse."


"Unprotected sex two days after my period ended, within 30 mins I took econtra ez. I am incredibly worried due to rumors that generic brands of plan b don't work. I don't know anyone who's ever taken this pill and I'm absolutely freaking out. Should I go buy regular plan b and take that to?"


"I've only been on this medication for 2 weeks now but it has changed my life. I have lived with chronic migraines since my entire life..since I was 18 months old. I have lived with daily headaches and almost daily migraines for the past 10 years and it has taken over my life. Since starting Topamax, I have had 2-3 manageable headaches and I have my life back! It has even taken away chronic fibromyalgia and arthritis pain, given me back my ability to sleep soundly for hours at a time, and has gotten me out of a daily triptan habit that almost caused a stroke a few weeks ago. The side effects (brain fog, drowsiness, etc) are nothing new for me given I have fibromyalgia. A life without pain is worth it to me! What a miracle!!"


"I received an injection into my finger knuckle the first time I experienced debilitating osteoarthritis.  Within 24 hours the swelling was almost completely reduced and my use of hands was back to normal for about 6 months.  I am hoping a second treatment will be just as helpful.   Also, I am finding the same problems in my other hand now. "


"I've only been on my first month of this patch. But I hope my review will still help. I usually put it on my butt-cheek and alternate sides each week.
The first week was fine, the skin around it after taking off was kind of irritating, but that was no big deal.
Second week, nothing unusual happened, my sex drive increased, but I would wake up in the middle of the night for some reason.
The third week was the worst week though, I had mood swing, light cramps and anxiety.
This fourth week, It'll be my off week, I hope my period comes normally (since I have been having abnormal cycle for the past 2 years)
So far, I am satisfied with Ortho Evra. I am usually forgetful, changing it every week is very convenient!"


"I've been on contrave for six weeks, I've lost a total of 7lbs since I started the contrave. I've lost 120lbs in the last ten months, so I'm not sure I'd give much credit to the medication for the 7lbs lost, the 7lbs in six weeks is significantly less then my prior months weight loss. I'm on a low carb diet , and do HIIT workouts   strength training 2-4 times a week. When I started contrave I was very nauseous, constipated , and had a very weird emotional feelings , I was sad and had emailed my doctor for instructions on how to stop contrave, she told me to give the medicine more time and over the next couple weeks my side effects were gone.. Still, I don't think its worth the money, and its hard to credit the medication for my losses."


"No breakthrough bleeding, felt the best that I ever had, lost weight and felt like my old self again. So I started this medicine in April 2012 and am currently on it and it's October 2012. This will be my last pack. I have experienced nausea, bloating, mood swings, sadness, depression, fatigue and just don't feel like my self anymore."


"I have only been on this pill for week, and I feel as if I'm not even on b.c. at all. I feel no change which is welcome after dealing with ortho tri cyclen lo for several years. With that pill if I missed a pill or started later than a week after the last set of pills, it made me feel like crap. This pill, I haven't felt anything since starting it. And that's awesome."


"I have used Anora for about a year now have no problems at I also use symbicort twice in the morning and twice at night and no problems. Anoro is very good. I have tried spiriva but it did not work too well I will stick with Anora."


"Brand name: had no side effects and had 100% effectiveness on bladder control."


"I was on Loestrin for 4 years and then it changed to Minestrin. I skip my period every month due to my horrible cramps and no pill seems to help with them. My gynecologist suggest to me that I should skip my period. I switched to Chateal because after years of Loestrin/Minestrin, I think it stopped working properly. I was spotting and cramping and even tried to get my period and that was a mistake. Chateal has been wonderful so far. I am almost on my third month and I haven't had any issues. My cramping is gone and there has been no spotting at all. I haven't noticed any mood swings or any other side effects some people say they have. I haven't had any weight gain and I feel like my acne actually has gotten better. I rarely break out now."


"I started taking this drug for a chest infection 3 days ago. So far .... The taste in my mouth is so vile I cannot even begin to describe it. Every swallow makes me shudder. I feel sick and have no appetite. I have have acute pain in my stomach and side , I guessed from lack of solid food which has left me gasping as the cramps set in. I'm actually constipated, which differs from others experiences,  but who knows, its day 3 after all. Sleep is here and there, sometimes I get a solid hour and I just feel exhausted. I've stayed in bed. I have lower back pain, and feel like I'm at deaths door. I also have no concentration and desire to complete simple tasks. Won't be keen to repeat this again in a hurry"


"This medicine work. I was on phentermine 37.5mg for three months, during that time I was starting to really lose the weight starting at 290 and ended up at 262 at the end of three months. Trouble is due to the laws of Ohio I am limited to just three months. I know if I had been allowed to continue I would have lost far more. I have a bad back - three operations, both knees are bone on bone. My left arm has painful arthritis, So exercise is very painful if not impossible for me. I do not over eat, do not eat sweets, do not drink sodas. I "need" this to increase my metabolism, I do not over eat. I am now back on it."


"It's amazing. First the redness goes away then no more itching."


"I have only been using Rogaine for two months now, but I can tell that it is working. A few things I have learned: do not overuse this product! Stick to the 1 ml regardless if you have hair loss all over or not! It's not worth the side effects. I wasn't sure how much to be applying because I know they say only use 1 ml, but since I have diffuse thinning all over, I feel like I need to apply it in back as well. Anyway I am going to use less of it and try to apply more evenly. I hear that it works all over regardless of how much you apply, hope this is true. I have headaches if I use too much. "


"Bunavail work great for detox and keeping away from opiates but there is one major draw back and that's getting the film not to roll back on itself in which you lose probably 1/4 of absorption not going into you cheek and instead it can sit in your mouth your saliva hoping to get it distributed elsewhere like the underneath of tongue. I have tried bending the corners to  prevent the rolling which helps a little but the film still wants to roll, bend corners 90° for best results. Not supposed to cut the films but manys docs say to do it which is fine because the bup and nalox is equal distributed, I called bunavail to check. But when you cut the films seems to be worse on rolling up because less surface that the film has to stick to your cheek"


"I've been on Depakote for almost a year now. I also take Paxil and Wellbutrin. I gained around 10lbs right from the start. My weight has seemed to have stayed steady the last few months. It's extremely hard to lose it. I have been through a lot of different medications to try and treat bipolar disorder. Even with the medicines I'm on, I'm still depressed and like I don't matter. I'm very sleepy and can lay down and take a nap at any time. I started taking B Complex because I stay so sleepy. My new concern is memory. I can't think of words and dates or names like movie stars very fast and it concerns me. "


"I love this medicine! I have never experienced break through bleeding and have been on it for a year and a half now.  I had tried everything before this, generic birth control (made me emotionally crazy), the Nuvaring (could never remember to put it back in and it bothered him), Mirena (the wire bothered him) -- finally found this after all that and it's all about me -- NO PERIODS!  NO CRAMPING.  NO MESS.  Life, normal... everyday."


"Before Lexapro I was on Adderall witch I abused with drinking and resulted in alcohol poisoning and Atrial Fibulation (irregular heartbeat) after this  incident my anxiety went through the roof and I feared to drink or take another medication again. I had multiple times where I would go to the emergency room thinking I was having a heart attack and each time they told me it was anxiety. That’s when my doctor recommended lexapro. It does take some time for your body to get used to but once it did my anxiety was almost gone! You just need to let your body get used to it and find the right dose for you. I have been on it for almost a year now and I still get a little anxious but haven’t had any panic attacks."


"I have been on pain meds for a very long time. (13 years) from an injury at work.  I used to take (after years) 5 Oxycontin 8 mg tablets per day which was fine until they changed the formula.  They don't really help any longer.  I have 4 herniated discs in neck and after 3 surgeries it still is not healed or healed correctly.  My neck injury causes me severe headaches as well.  I am now on 30 mg Roxicodone which is wonderful for all my pain ailments however it has to be a certain brand.  If I don't have the correct brand I will get physically nauseous.  I must be allergic to something the manufacturer puts in it.  The ones that do work for me have saved my life.  I am able to function with pain relief.  My opinion they work the best."


"the past several winters the tips of some of my toes turned black and were ice cold , but would return to normal when the weather warmed up. I had tests done at a vascular specialist and had some diminshed circulation to my feet but nothing that required any type of surgery . I was prescribed Nefedipine and within a week or two my toes returned to normal and my feet were much warmer . I only take this drug during the colder months"


"The timing for eating is a pain. I have become hyperthyroid as a result of this medicine, and my hands started shaking, and I lost 40 pounds. I had been hypothyroid before! I like the weight loss, but the hyperthyroidism has caused digestive problems, and my eyes bulge a bit.

Have suffered drug interactions with Cipro (heart) and maybe Lexapro (acute Achilles tendonitis). Unfortunately,my Dr was not familiar with what Tasigna could do----"


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


"Ritalin made me able to block out everything and focus on reading my boring, tedious nursing books. Take it at least 12 hours before you go to sleep, or else it will keep you up at night with thoughts racing. It suppresses appetite and makes most people lose weight- I actually gained weight because I would be starving and binge eat at the end of the night. I did like Ritalin, but it made me too irritable so I switched to Adderall. That is much more pleasant and even more effective. Focalin 10 mg is good for people with mild ADHD symptoms. "


"Smoker for 35 years,  Took Chantix for one month....8 years come this september as a non-smoker....Thank-you Chantix"


"Very good for urinary symptoms."


"I started the phentermine tabs after I witnessed my aunt's results. I had 2 kids within 1.5 yrs gained 70lbs with my first lost 50lbs then found out I was pregnant again, gained 70 more lbs on top of the 20lbs so I'm up 90lbs. I tried everything, and many shakes. I went to my MD July 12th weighed 232lbs had my blood work done and EKG everything was a go started the next morning July 13, 2013 today is July 17, 2013 and I'm already down to 224.8, 7.2lbs in 4 days.  I was jittery for about an hour the first day I took the pill but it went away quickly. Dry mouth I cure with water. I love the energy, I'm not tired when I get off work. Play with my kids, watch my late night T.V. shows and wake up refreshed. Can't wait to see my 3mth results."


"Omg guys u will not believe the last 26hrs I've had since I took two of those pills yest at 3pm.. Nothing happened n tuk another one this am Literally bowled over in pain for the whole day yest til about ten mins ago and I'd swear I was giving birth like it was a big massive whopper of a baby coming out the pressure was so severe I thought I'd have to go to hospital. Thank god I feel so much better now. Never again."


"Carafate Suspension was prescribed by my doctor because of stomach problems caused by taking pain killers and anti-inflamatory drugs for knee injury. Already taking Omeprozole but it was not doing the trick. The carafate worked great. Realy calmed down the acid reflux."


"I took this drug when I was pregnant.  I was Vomiting so much I had to be hospitlized at least 4 times and had to have in house IV treatments.  Once I took this drug I was able to go back to work.  The only problem was my insurance stopped covering the drug. "


"I just had my first injection both knees a few days ago. When I came home from the clinic, I ran down to the basement to get something and noticed right away my knees felt better. I had really bothersome aching in my knees at night, that is gone. So far, I am very impressed."


"I started on Stribilid on 17th Jan 2014, my Viral Load was 150k. After 4 weeks I'm undetectable. I've had little side effects at all. I take the pill at lunch, all seems to be working (really) well so far. I quit drinking to help the meds work best they can and to improve adherence but by the looks of things this regimen is doing well for lots of people which is great to see. Kidney and liver all good too!"


"I have a urinary tract infection and was prescribed this medication along with phenazo, which takes the burn out of urination. They warned me that Macrobid might cause slight stomach upset but I threw up four times in a row last night and feel nauseous all the time (regardless of how much I eat).

I had a UTI a few years ago and was prescribed a pill that caused no stomach upset. Why are they prescribing macrobid now?"


"I'm on my third week of Sprintec 28 and haven't had a single negative side effect. I started using it on the first day of my period which also happened to be a Sunday (lucky me). I love it! As long as there's no side effects and nothing changes then I'm staying on this pill forever. The only thing I noticed is that there was still light bleeding even after my period ended but nothing big.
No headaches, nausea, vomit, mood swings, cramps, stomach pain, breast tenderness/pain or anything!
It depends on the person, you can't just judge it based on the reviews because I was scared to try it. I read so many horrible reviews but I gave it a shot and I am pain free."


"Cymbalta is the best med I have ever taken for my panic attacks and depression.  It has fixed my mood and is very tolerable."


"I was one of the first to go on Harvoni following FDA approval. I did 12 weeks from Dec 2014 to Feb 2015. Only mild tiredness nothing else while taking it. Have been clear since..

 I was diagnosed in 1997 and did not want the treatments at that time or until Harvoni came on the scene. I believe I had it many years before being diagnoses and the blood count kept rising as the years went by. Glad I played the waiting game"


"I have used Prevacid before and it does work well"


"This is the second time I have used this product and the first time was a breeze, I popped it in over night and the next morning woke up feeling fresh as a daisy but this time I tried something a little different; instead of using it over night I used it during the day. ( I don't suggest doing this) maybe and hour after application intense burning and stinging occurred but I took a really hot bath and after put a cold cloth on it and it began feeling better. Don't let the scary side affects turn you away, I began feeling better in a couple hours and the YI goes away a lot quicker. I'd rather have a couple hours burning and itching rather than days!"


"I've had issues with acne since around middle school and have literally tried everything from different topical creams to antibiotics. Unfortunately antibiotics were not a safe long term fix so I initially started taking Beyaz and was on that bc for about 4 months. My acne did not improve that significantly so my dermo switched me to Ortho Tricyclen about 3 months ago. I think that you should be aware that your acne will probably get a little worse before it gets better. I had a horrible break out like 2 months in and I got super frustated but now my acne is so much better on my face and chest so I think it's working! I have also been taking spironolactone as well."


"I was about to give up on this med because of the awful nausea it caused but for the past three days I have been swollowing it down with ginger ale and the nausea has miraculously disapeared."


"I take Diovan daily with Norvasc 5mg.  I have had no issues with either medicine.  I have had no issues with edema either, which is a relief."


"I started the shot in June. The first month I spotted and when it was about the time I get my period it got a little heavier for two days and back to spotting for 2 more weeks. I've had heavy periods since I was ten, I don't have fibroids just bleed really heavy. I recommend this shot if you have heavy periods. We don't use any other contraception and no pregnancies here. The only reason I give it a 8 is because it made my anxiety come back. This is a secret weapon and I think a lot of the negative reviews are just women who want to keep the depo shot secret to themselves. Give it a shot but also some time for your body to adjust to it."


"This drug has not been as effective as I had thought it would be. I did not have any real bad side effects. Some constipation and at the beginning I was tired but after a month or so I had more energy then usual. I only lost about 4 pounds in 4 months."


"This gave me horrible stomach cramps.  I had NO pressure or congestion.  Day 3 of these and I can't breathe and out of my nose and the pressure is excruciating.  I feel like my head is going to explode.  Mega dosing with vitamin c next time. No side effects.  I am not finishing this crap.  I never stop an antibiotic early but this is the worst."


"I have had psoriasis since I was 16 years old, covering over 90% of my body. I am a woman of 53 now, I have used creams, to no avail. I have been on Humira injections for about 18 months and I am clear and was actually able to wear a bathing suit to the beach this year with no signs anywhere of psoriasis.  It has truly changed my life and my outlook.  I am after all these years finally clear, normal.  I don't have to hide myself with long sleeves and long pants year round, answer those awkward questions and looks from strangers. Truly a wonderful medication. No side effects as of yet, not looking for any this far along in treatment. The shot does tend to be a bit painful, through the few moments of pain, I receive clear skin."


"No side effects after over two years of use... 150mg/day"


"After three weeks of suffering, tried Singulair and within 45 minutes started feeling good again. It stopped my post nasal drip. No sides effects yet. This is my fifth day using it."


"I'm taking abilify with an antidepressant to stabilize my mood. It just makes me shakey and agitated. Before Abilify my mood would be up and down. But now I'm just down and agitated all the time."


"Don't waste your money on this. All this product does is take away the pain. I got this as soon as i felt a cold sore coming and applied it religiously and it did nothing for me. On the 4th day of my outbreak someone told me to try "New Skin" its a type of liquid bandaid, got it at wallmart for 4$. Less than 12 hours after putting new skin on the outbreak has drastically gone down in size and the nasty scabs were gone. It just looked like a small burn."


"Every time I take one it causes me so much pain I feel like I'm going to double over. It's effective but painful. "


"Wellbutrin did not work for me; made me more depressed, joint pain, muscle pain and ringing in ears."


"Very good for stage fright, or fear of flying because it does not impair functioning, many people don't "notice" it at all, but are noticeably calmer."


"I started taking 25 mg about a year and a half ago I got up 200 mg once a day I found in the beginning my hands would tingle I had bitter a taste in my mouth but overtime that went away it did help with weight loss I lost about 10 pounds. I didn't experience any hair loss in the beginning I had trouble remembering things but it eventually fades away and you're back to normal at least for me . I believe this drug does work specially if you have migraines."


"I was on the edge of hypothyroidism but not fully diagnosed cause my TSH wasn't considered high enough to be classified but had most of the symptoms so I was given the low dose of a thyroid medication I was so sick, I ended up in the ER with a horrible migraine and throwing up for 14 hrs. My dr. switched me to Tirosint same dose as before and I have no side effects. I am finally feeling human I am not so tired, I am more alert and focused, my TSH level has gone to a much better level."


"I have been using Humira since October of 2009, I had a lot of swelling in my joints after the injection and redness, swelling and bruising.  I have not noticed much difference. I have started not only the cartilage degeneration but it is affecting my bone also.  We are about to try Simponi.  Hopefully this will work."


"This was a huge mistake for me. Do not take it. I wish i read the reviews before i got it. I only got one shot which last for 3 months, and only in three months igained 10 pounds!  My life style didn't change I was working out pretty much every day and eating helthy still I got bigger than before. Everything got worse when I discontinued the shot, i got super sad and crying for no reason,  my energy is 0 right now, i just wanna be in bed all day, i am sleepy during tye day. The acne seems to increase a lot, even in unusual areas like my scalp. My period is super mess up,  i bleed for two months, i don't wanna have sex. I knew about the side effects before but I didn't know that it gets worse even stopping the shot, this too much to handle"


"I would get dressed in the morning and by the time I was heading out the door to go to school or work I'd have to change my shirt because of the sweat that was dripping from my armpits. I just became accustomed to bringing a sweater everywhere and wearing loose fitting clothes. I started using this medication and the next day (which happened to be a 95 degree day) I was so surprised/happy to have no sweat running down my arms. The first night I used it I applied it to my armpits that had been shaved in the morning, it stung/itch but I stuck it out. I now apply it every other day and just shave my armpits every other day. It doesn't itch/sting at all. I recommend this to everyone."


"I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in April of 2011. After numerous visits with my doctor and exploratoy scopes, my gastroenterologist prescribed Asacol last September(2012) and he gave me a discount card to use when I initially filled my prescription for Asacol, so the monthly precirptions have been FREE!

Since taking Asacol on a regular basis, my last scope revealed that ALL of my ulcertations have healed! Thank you, Asacol! You've changed my life!"


"I agree with Rebecca. So far no pregnancy, and I hope it continues but I have been on the pill for 10 months and my period is still messed up. I've been on it for over a week now. It'll come a week early then a couple days later. I was really moody, but it's gotten better. I was going to switch birth control methods but am very relieved that someone else is having the same problem."


"Helped somewhat with congestion but I could not continue to take it due to insomnia (even after taking it during the day) jitters, dizziness, and anxiety."


"My first expulsion happened two days after insertion. Tried using Paragard again, and my body rejected it after a week.  I like the concept on Paragard and I wish it would've worked for me."


"The ONLY medicine that has resulted in my numbers being normal after many years on Lipitor-Niacin regimen. Added Zetia to the mix every night.  Effects - light-headed and loose stools in mornings every day. Small price to pay for good health, but, yes, BIG price for the medicine."


"Omg I thought I had pain before but as soon as I inserted Monistat 3 I was in tears.   The burning and itching was so bad I started bleeding!!!!!   It now hurts to urinate.   I instantly washed it off and finally got some relief.  Monistat....NEVER AGAIN!"


"I've only been on tri-sprintec for a month and I'm already having severe side effects. Nausea, headaches, acne worse than I've ever had in my life, and the worst, severe anxiety and depression.  The second week I experienced suicidal intrusive thoughts that caused me to go into panic attacks. The only upside for me was that it helped my heavy flow and shortened my period from 6 or 7 days to 4 days.

I would much rather live with a long, heavy period than what I went through for a week straight."


"I have been on this pill for 2 months. I don't have cramps anymore. Thank goodness! My appetite is smaller. Breasts have stayed the same size and thats fine by me. My period is now 6-7 days (used to be 3-4 days when I wasn't on birth control). No babies though. I do notice that I get more headaches. Im not sure if its from the pill because I've been more active and the sun in FL is strong."


"While I do believe it has lengthened by life, the side effects are difficult to deal with.  I am extremely sun sensitive, also have a rash on my wrists that doesn't go away. "


"Only put on Victoza yesterday for my insulin resistance at o.6. In only two injections sugar level's have fallen from high 200's-low 300's to low 100's. No vomiting. Doctor now lowering my Lantus from 265 units twice a day to 150 twice a day, and Humalog from 120 units per day to 20 units three times a day while I wait for insurance company to approve pump. It would be cheaper on them and give me a better quality of life. Willing to put up with any side effect's for these numbers. "


"I'm on my last week of my 2nd 3-month pack of Loseasonique. I started the first 3-month pack and in the middle of the 2nd month, I had really bad breakthrough bleeding for 2 and a half weeks. Then during the last week of the 3-month pack, I had my pill period for 2 weeks instead of one. The same thing happened in the middle of the 2nd month of the 3-month pack, for about the same amount of time. And now, I'm halfway through the pill period week, and still no period."


"I've used the brand name "Percocet 7.5" before, and it worked very well.  But, I was recently diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my neck and was having severe pain with it and was prescribed Percocet and was given this generic brand "Endocet".  Even though it's a higher dosage, 10mg, it doesn't work near as well.  I'm having to take 1 & 1/2 pills to get any relief.  I wonder if there are different companies (and how many) that make Percocet generic brands?  I've found the same problem with Ultram/tramadol 50mg.  Some of the generic brands just don't work for me at all, but there is one specific generic tramadol that does work very good for me, which is the one my pharmacist knows to give me when filling my script."


"I have taken Enbrel for 17 years - since I was 30.  I would not be a functioning individual without it.  I have not had psoriasis since I started taking it, either.  I know this sounds too good to be true, but it is my miracle drug.  I've never had any side effects or problems.  I am currently on the Sureclick but have also had to fill syringe needle and inject.  If you let medicine warm alittle, it doesn't burn as bad."


"I've been on Alesse for three months now, half way through third pack. I've been been getting my period half way threw the active pills. This has been happening ever month like clock work. It usually ends around the time I start taking the sugar pills. I'm curious if this is happening to anyone else."


"I bought this pouduct as a "cleansing".
I drank the complete bottle (10oz) and an hour later I felt nauseous and bloated. It wasn't until a total of 7hrs after drinking this, my relief came. I feel lighter and a whole lot better. The results outweigh the burned out bum."


"I have had problems with acne all my life. I tried everything from creams, gels, pills and even Accutane.  Accutane was extremely harsh and my acne was back within 3 months. I finally was prescribed Doryx along with Acanya in the morning and Epiduo at night. Please be patient as this will make you break out really bad at first but I promise you after 2 months you will see the results. What's great too is you can adjust the dosage once your face clears up so you don't have to take 150mg all the time. My face is all cleared up now and I only take it the week of my period to prevent breakouts."


"It's hard for me to fall asleep almost every night. And I'm also a very light sleeper.
I don't take it every night (10mg), just when I'm having issues with trying to fall asleep/stay asleep. One of the first times taking it about a year ago, I was visiting my mom. I took the pill and laid down. About 15min later I started sweating and felt really weird!  I started hallucinating like crazy!! I was seeing a cat on the bed and then I started seeing people in the room. I then started to freak out and got really scared. I got up to use the bathroom and then fell into the wall. She helped me back to bed. The whole experience was SO scary!! I now take 5mg and it works fine w/ no issues. I think the dose was too much."


"Nuva ring has done its purpose in a very effective way to prevent pregnancy considering it prevents without having to remember to take it everyday. However, I have been over come with horrible anxiety. Anxiety has always been a problem for me but I was always able to manage with therapy and medicine for almost 5 years now. 2 months on the Nuva ring and I feel crazy. I'm paranoid, constantly making up scenarios and pretty much convincing myself they are true and not to mention I feel helpless. I am not a cryer but I cry everyday now. I'm also tired constantly and have experienced pretty intense headaches and a lower sex drive. My friends and family have told me as well that I seem off. I took it out today in hopes of getting better."


"I have been using Pristiq for two weeks...I have been very pleased with the results. I have been waking up every night at 2:30am but will quickly go back to sleep."


"This was my first time ever being on birth control and I love Ortho Cyclen. I highly recommend this pill. I had no side effects! Regulated my period as well."


"Bad things in my life caught up with me and from Friday night until Monday morning I had panic and horrible anxiety. I was prescribed Klonopin 0.5 mg three times a day and I haven't had a panic attack since. I've been on it for 3 months and I am almost weaned off it."


"I used monistat 1 for the first time and I'm happy with the results.  Reading some of these reviews  did scare me a little. I had no itch or burning.  I would suggest that you use cortisone as a itch relief after inserting the applicator"


"At first, I loved the pill. It made my periods shorter, about 3 days instead of 8, and it kept me from getting pregnant. It's affordable and got rid of my acne. It did not help with cramps at all, and it made me gain a lot of weight. I went from 118 lbs to 135 in a short amount of time. My breasts got big as well which was a plus. Then after almost a year, I began getting chronic urinary tract infections. Doctors could not figure it out so I stopped taking Apri to see if that was the problem and since then I have had no problems. "


"Had unprotected sex on the 31 of Dec 16 . Took aftera the next day around 4. Was so nervous that it wouldn't work because of all the reviews but after nervously waiting for 6  days my period came three weeks early . It wasn't heavy as usual but did have lots of cramping and got my period on the 6 and finished today it  works !!! Not 100% effective but it has a high chance the quicker you take it the better Works . And you save 10 dollars !"


"I switched from Vestura (generic Yaz) to Jolivette about a month and a half ago - I thought perhaps the Vestura was causing me to have a lower-than-usual libido.  At first I felt no different, which was to be expected as a switch can take time to kick in.  Just after I started my second pack I began to feel constantly and uncomfortably bloated.  I read around and found that this severe bloating had affected many other users of Jolivette.  It's unbearable and makes me feel like I'm always pregnant!  I did take a couple tests just to be sure I wasn't and I'm not, just feeling super uncomfortable 24/7.   I asked my pharmacy to switch me back to Vestura - the constant discomfort is not worth the possibility of a slightly increased libido"


"Helped with my incontinence, caused very bad swelling."


"I didn't read the directions and started taking Chantix the day after I quit.  I had smoked for 33 years.  I only took Chantix for 2 weeks after quitting.  No side effects.  I was actually amazed how easy it was to quit.  Now been smoke free for 9 years!!!"


"I've taken this bc for 5 years & absolutely loved it but have noticed that within the past two years I've had no sex drive what so ever & can not get wet. If it wasn't for those side effects I would keep taking it but I'm changing to a new bc to hopefully fix that."


"I took accutane for 4 months with amazing results when I was 16. I had severe acne on my cheeks, chin, and temples and it all cleared up w/ just some light marks and scars left over. My skin remained clear for about 6 months after I stopped taking it and I didn't have to use any topic treatments. The acne returned slowly with a few small bumps and got the point where it was just as severe as before. Now, a little over a year from when I started my first round, I am on accutane again. Now, I am about a month into my treatment and I see fantastic results. This second round is better than the first; the first time, I experienced an initial flare up, this second time, it immediately got better."


"Advantage it does its job, you don't have to worry about taking pills or getting pregnant. Disadvantage for me, I start getting a lot of spots, and gained 10 kg. I haven't changed my diet, however I actually exercise more than I used to, although the weight doesn't seem to come off and only increases. I got the implant October 2014 and weighed 55kg, now a year later I weight 65kg.

As I said it does its job but can cause you to experience some side effects. Getting it taken out in a week due to weight gain and breakouts. Period were irregular and hardly any blood which was fine with me."


"Well no experience more like question I was just prescribed this drug but I see so many bad reviews so I'm scared for dear life to try it but I need something to work I was on Zoloft 50 mg but it did nothing what else can I get on that I won't have awful side effects like these reviews"


"This drug has improved my quality of life by 100%, from lower back problems."


"Ok today is my 1st day starting on 3.75mg-23mg capsule. Today is 10/5/2017 and I have the free 2 week trial starting weight is 222lb and I would love to lose at least 50lbs. So far I had a protein shake for breakfast, a salad with grilled salmon and one boiled egg for lunch brought from home and drinking water all day. I will try to remember to check in weekly with updates. I can't rate this yet but I will in a couple of weeks"


"I went on lexapro to control my depression caused by depo, and it was awful. It stopped my anxiety attacks, but I was still constantly paranoid. It helped with most of my depression. The lows were not as frequent or severe. However, it made me gain 30 lbs in a year. No amount of exercise of diet would help. I would not recommend this medication."


"I had a Radical Prostatectomy at age 50. It left me impotent for about 3 years, but I lost about 60 lbs and I've been swimming for 2 years now.

Levitra has help me achieve a strong erection when paired with the right stimuli. Some times the side effects are horrible in the form of a very bad head ache and other times it is hardly noticeable.

I must be physically fit enough for sex or my conservative Chinese doctor would not have prescribed it. Since I had cancer in even core of the prostate, the surgery was extensive. I though I was sexually doomed after the surgery, but cardiovascular exercise has helped me tremendously. The nerves are damaged but increasing the health of the circulatory system has benefited my ED condition. It helps!"


"Take 1 or 2mgs at one time, as needed, for panic attacks. Most of the time I will have a panic attacks, for no reason or triggers. For Some panic attacks I do have a trigger. Large Crowds, NO WAY. People I know, that haven't seen in years. The only medicine that helps with panic attacks! I take Valium 10mgs, four times daily. Anxiety and panic attacks are different. Panic effects your whole day. Anxiety attacks, the Valium is in my blood."

"Never get started on this drug , I warn you ! Yes I give it a 10 but its something you should take every once in awhile never longer than 2-3 months at a time, I'm 100% dependent on these pills, have been for a decade and it started at a routine check up!  The worst addiction I've ever seen. And I'm a recovering herion addict. That wasn't easy but a cake walk to ever getting off xanax. I'm on 1 mg 3x a day today, just like I was 10 years ago. If my Dr even mentions trying to stop giving me this medicine I freak out when I don't have xanax to feel "normal" iihave seizures, chronic pain, its horrible! However i have to have these pills, and pharmaceutical companies knew what they were doing . ever watch MTV. I swear every TV show mentions Xan"


"Dizziness for a couple of days as I adjusted to it then again had dizziness for a couple of days as dosage was later increased to 1200mg per day. Slept well, but was tired early and required going to bed about an hour earlier. Took for five years. Unfortunately it did not eliminate all seizures. Had several absence seizures requiring that I change medication."


"This pill is great. I started taking it for terrible back pains during periods and it helped a lot. I didn't gain weight and it cleared up my acne from the birth control I was taking before. My fav part is that it made my periods only last about 4 days!"


"I took this drug and had no side effects.  On the other hand, it didn't reduce my blood calcium levels."


"I'm fifteen, and I started taking Prozac at 13. For a year it really helped, but within the last year, my depression has come back along with cutting. However, I also had extreme OCD, which Prozac helped 100%."


"My bone density improved while taking Fosamax. However, I had nausea, intense heartburn, gained 20 pounds, and had to start taking prescription stomach medications due to gastric problems.  Finally, I stopped taking it, lost 20 pounds, felt much better and could eat again, but my doctor is now telling me I have lost significant bone mass since stopping this medication.  Will now try Atelvia with calcium supplements."


"My son and daughter are 18 months apart so BC was needed. I wanted a BC that I didn't have to worry about daily so Mirena seemed like the perfect choice...especially since all my friends raved about it. It's horrible! I got it inserted February 2015 during my 6wks follow-up after my son was born. I bled everyday until  May. I have to wear a liner everyday now b/c I never know when I'll bleed (heavy or lite)...my poor husband! My hair is thinning.  I get headaches like everyday, along with cramping. This shit is awful. I'm getting it removed next month...I wish there was an appointment available SOOO much sooner though!"


"I have been on Klonopin for over a decade with success from my previous anxiety, frustration and anger feelings. I rate this medication a nine because alone it's not 100% (it's used in adjunct with counseling and Sertraline). I take 2mg "in the morning" and the only side effect for me, is feeling like me again; relaxed, confident, alert and in control. The dosage is too much for most but for me (with a high tolerance) it keeps me in control. I have heard of some that use it successfully for insomnia; not me. Its long lasting properties allow that I take it with breakfast and coast all day/night on it. I never notice an effect from it, until I don't take it: Then the anxiety, indecision with tiredness reappears. So I'm on it for life, and that's okay."


"I have been taking ADHD medications for about 10 years and vyvanse is by far my favorite. I take 50mg of vyvanse as needed. I always feel very productive when taking it and It really helps me focus and get things done without the procrastination. Although, it does what it is supposed to do I do have a few side effects that prevent me from taking it everyday. I have a history with anxiety/depression and this medicine brings back some of those symptoms. Also, I tend to be a perfectionist when I take the medicine. I catch myself taking longer to take exams and redoing my makeup or hair or brushing my teeth more than once simply because I feel like it isn't just right. Also I am more isolated and less social when I take the pill."


"I was surprised at the amount of negative reviews versus good reviews for Livalo and other statins.  I am a 45 year old male. 205 LDL 280 total cholesterol. I have been on it just about 1 month. First 2 weeks did have some mild muscle soreness on back of legs but heard that CoQ10 helped and it seemed to go away after taking that and I also take Vitamin D. I work out a lot and lift weights and would feel a little more fatigue than normal when working out. I noticed if I take creatinine prior to working out I feel as good as before taking the medicine. So all in all I feel pretty, pretty good. The two supplements I am taking seem to work for a lot of the side effects people talk about. I will go back for testing in 2 weeks."


"Really effective - had discharge come out of my red eye. Now the pain is gone some 20 hours later. "


"I started this new tresiba, was the first person in the state to start it.  Right afterwards, when i did the switch from levemir to tresiba, I caught the worst cold known in the history of man, and i mean BAD too,  I was so tired, and at night i coughed so bad, i'd lose my breath.  Doctor told me I don't have a cold, as my lungs were crystal clear.  No matter what I did I could not get rid of this cold, and it got worse by the day.  I began to become suspicious when no one and I mean not a one around me caught this miserable cold.  I put 2 and 2 together, and I said it must be tresiba.  went back on levemir, and the cold was gone in 48 hours.  No pharmacy knew about this or adverse effects, it was that new.  Never again."


"Have been on Victoza (6.0 for 3 months) and 1.2 for last month.  Have lost 12 lbs.  Take 750mg X2 of Metformin.  Unable to exercise though from weakness and slight headache.  I can go swimming twice a week but that's about all the energy left.  Wonder what the long term effects would be since this hasn't been on the US market for too long. Hope for the best for all of us Type 2's."


"I started Contrave on 5-6 and first week in a half no side effects other then dry mouth, little bit of dizziness, my Dr recommended when you start out to take at night not in the morning, I think this really helped.. now I am taking 1 in the morning and 1 at night and have been for few days, do experience a lot of dizziness and weird feelings, but overall DO NOT THINK ABOUT EATING at all, which is great for me.. This used to be all  I thought about, so I can deal with the side effects. I am down 15 lbs in less then a month with little exercise, but about to do more.. I have about 55 lbs more to go, and really feel I will get there with Contrave.."


"I have taken this drug for 2 days, and I am stopping.  I am experiencing the worst insomnia from this med., only one I have added.  I was prescribed Rexulti for anxiety and depression."


"End up a A&E screaming in pain in neck & arm, any movement made it worse. Back there following night even worse, even though I was given 2mg diezapan & codeine. Zero effect. Emergency appointment with GP increased to 5mg. Lots of sleep but no pain relief at all, if anything got worse. 6 weeks off work. Seeing specialist for  CT scan and having something injected. This was caused by cheap nasty keyboards as speed more important than ergonomic keyboard or regular breaks to stretch or proper desks. Tired of being tired."


"I absolutely love Nexplanon. I had mine inserted at the end of January 2015, so it's been about 5 months. Yes at first your period is gonna be all outta wack, but I haven't had a period in about two months and I love it!!!!! I did have a little mood swings at first but they subsided. No I did not gain weight, and no I did not lose my sex drive. It's even helped cleared up some acne! Highly recommend this to any female wanting to stop taking the pill. It's awesome!"


"This is the best working cough syrup.  While it doesn't totally eliminate it (which would make it a 10!), it is the best among all of the different cough syrups and pills.  I am not a fan of the Benzonatate gel capsules.  They do nothing for me."


"I've taken many antidepressant over the past 15 years.  Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro, Cymbalta as well as Wellbutrin.  I never had any worrisome side effects until Pristiq.  With Pristiq, my normal blood pressure increased by 40 points within a couple of days.  I went back to using Lexapro and my blood pressure went back to normal."


"I went on Nexplanon after a horrible experience with the pills. They made me nauseous, gave me headaches, and made me super hungry (I basically didn't feel like myself at all) I decided to go on Nexplanon and I am SO glad that I did! Its insertion was painless (only a little bit of soreness in the following days) I did have some mood swings for the first couple of weeks but now it is totally fine! I feel great and just like myself. I do notice that my periods are irregular and I discharge for a while after my period is over. If you are worried about going on Nexplanon because of the "horrible" side effects, I am here to tell you to go for it."


"I've been on Zoloft for three days and I already feel an improvement. I've got to say Zoloft you've given me my life back. THANK YOU."


"I am 58 and smoked since I was 14. In the last 10 years smoked between 20-25 per day - roll me owns. I have tried Patches - Gum - hypnosis - I was very scared about giving up - then the Doctor gave me Zyban. I did a lot of reading on the Web and there is more scary stuff than good stuff - found this support group with so much positive things to say - I did it - it has been 5 days since my last smoke and it has been mentally wonderful. Still get the physical feeling - but they are getting better. I love this medicine.  "


"I take this for motion sickness, as well as occasional nausea. It works beautifully. I'm able to go on longer road trips and boats without being bothered by motion. And not only do I feel well physically, but my mind is at ease knowing that I don't really have to worry about it. I also appreciate the fact that it's widely available and relatively inexpensive. I usually buy the generic version, but I find that it works just as well."


"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!  relief.  Taking for heartburn this med is the best.  No side affects, easy to swollow, and gets rid of the burn!  This is the best for heartburn I have taken."


"I'm on day 4. So far the side effects have not been horrible. I did have some stomach cramping and nausea. I'm a bit tired during the day. I took other people's advice and am taking the pill with food and I've avoided carbonated drinks. I did have some pop one day and if made me feel sick. So I'm trying to just drink water all day. So far I haven't noticed a big difference in my appetite so I'm hoping that will change next week when I up the dosage."


"I was on this for about 3 years. At first I had periods, they stopped within 6 months (which my doctor said was completely normal) and I'll agree I was a little moody at times around when my period should have come. But other than that, I actually lost weight on this pill... I did exercise every now and then, I got off this pill because I was really concerned with not having a period, I got on Sprintec 28 and HATED it. I gained 15 pounds. I'm a very petite person so this was totally noticeable. I love Lo Loestrin. I will never try another birth control. If you're looking for something just to manage your period with no side effects, this is the one. AND I got it for free every month.. talk about amazing."


"I started taking Belviq 9 days ago and am down 7 lbs! The weight flew off the first couple of days (probably water weight) but I haven't lost anything for the last three. I really attribute that to not eating well when I do eat the last few days but I am eating less and less often. Gone are my desires to snack. I made a salad for dinner and will be taking more control of my diet again so hopefully I will see some more weight loss soon! The first night I was nauseous and a little dizzy but nothing too horrible. The next day all of my side effects were gone.  I still get a little dizzy or nauseous from time to time but nothing too terrible. The biggest side effect is dry mouth but that just forces me to drink more water."


"Had bronchitis after five weeks from having CABG surgery. My doctor prescribed Augmentin and it worked  after having the first pill. At this time I am in my second day and the fever is gone minor cough and to my surprise my sinuses are clearing too since I have chronic sinus alergies."


"I had a breakdown in my doctor's office after my Klonopin stopped working. She said I needed something stronger for my daily panic attacks as I could not even function at my part time job that was only three days a week. I am on 2mgs twice daily. It's affordable and helps like no other medicine I've tried. I take it with chamomile tea to relax if I've had a stressful day. Or if things get too hectic at work I may take half of one. It also cured my insomnia. I feel like a normal person now. "


"Wannabehepcfree
And all others that think they can't afford these drugs. Contact the drug manufacturer. Each drug has their own programs to pay for the drugs, if insurance will not. Treatment is available to everyone. You just have to go straight to the drug manufacturers themselves. This is how I did the peg-interferion, ribovirun them drugs sucked. I start new drugs in September 2017 and am really nervous. Past drugs made white blood cell count go really low, I had zero energy but worst of all I felt like I had insects under my skin constantly. I failed treatment. Haven't heard any of you say you had itching or the feeling of bugs under skin so ya! That's good. Good luck to all."


"I am not sure how I feel about this birth control yet. The first month I started, my withdrawal bleed came the 4th day of my placebo pills. The second month, was about the same. Every month I have experienced some sort of breakthrough bleeding. By my third month I started spotting about 5 days before my placebo pills and bled all the way through my placebo week. I am now in my 4th pack and I started spotting 3 days before my placebo pack and just took my 2nd placebo pill today, no real withdrawal bleed yet. This is the only form of contraception I am using. Has anyone else experienced this and should I be worried? I feel like my withdrawal bleed should start anytime because I am having some cramping."


"This drug makes it possible for me to live a normal life. It doesn't affect me the was it is supposed to. I've had severe depression after having a miscarriage and basically having a complete breakdown. My PCP prescribed it for insomnia to get me through until the antidepressants kicked in. I took it one night and it didn't make me tired but I felt calm and for the first time in weeks I was able to have clear thoughts. I was able to do housework and talk about my feelings more. I take it in the morning and it actually gives me the drive to make it through the day."


"I've been on this pill for almost three months now and I love it. After my first birth control experience I was terrified to use birth control ever again. However, I'd rather take the risk instead of becoming pregnant so I tried it again. The first month was horrible, with minor breakouts and bad mood swings, but I have adjusted now. You must wait out the first month or two to be adjusted. After that, it's smooth sailing. I don't have any breakouts, my sex drive is normal, and I haven't gained any weight. I still get moody every once in a while, which is bearable. Overall a very good birth control. But EXPENSIVE without insurance!"


"I have been on Amitriptyline for 2 months and I have only one side effect - dry cough occasionally. I suffered from migraines from childhood and first my doctor tried a blood pressure medicine that also treats migraines. While somewhat effective, I still had headaches and migraines after 1-2 months, up to 3-5 per week. Once he put me on Amitriptyline, all headaches are gone and I have had no recurrences of either regular headache or migraine. I no longer need pain medication and I feel like I have my life back. This medicine has been wonderful!"


"Lisinopril(taken at 5mg and 10mg) put my chronic kidney disease in remission, but it gives me hypotension and syncope."


"The doctor prescibed epiduo as a 27 yr old I have never suffered from acne and it has just come out of no where in the past couple of months. After reading reviews I cannot believe how I have the same experience using this as a lot of people! Yes it gets rid of the spots but..
At first it was fine slight burning after the 4th day of using it (only once at night) my skin was worse than acne! I have never been in so much pain on my face! Red! Itching rash! I am stopping from using this now as it feels like someone has scrapped the skin off of my face ! The doctors should warn us about this before prescribing!!!"


"Only took it one time, my lips swelled up so much."


"I have been on Forteo 3 months now, I started taking it after a thyroid surgery left my parathyroids damaged. This has kept me out of the hospital and living a happy healthy lifestyle."


"Hi All, I'm a 26-year-old African American woman and I'm so glad that I found Effexor (Venlafaxine, for me) because it has really helped me manage my anxiety and depression. It's not common to talk about medication in the Black community so if you're reading this and think that the drug might help you - just give it a try! My therapist said that Effexor really tends to help young women. I have been on the drug for 16 months and went from 75 mg to 150mg. I just checked in with my prescribing psychiatrist today and I figured I would take some time to write reviews for people who haven't made the jump to medication. I also use Beating the Blues CBT online tool - it's free at my job! The combination, plus eating healthy and working out, works!"


"This medicine saved my life. I was in pain and miserable. Tried all the OTC stuff Zantac, Pepcid, Previced, and many others with no success. Then I tried omeprazole and within day's I was better. Great medicine. Would definitely recommend."


"Effexor has saved my life. I had depression and anxiety so bad, I couldn't function and was suicidal. Couldn't leave my house, I wouldn't leave my bedroom or eat for days at a time. Since taking the Effexor, I can't believe how much better I feel. I feel 100%, doing the things that I should be doing, just like everyone else."


"Absolutely horrible, unless you like feeling dopey, drugged & hungover for 3 days after a single dose! It did help my allergies but the side effects are much too pronounced & severe to warrant ever taking it again. I'd rather suffer!"


"When I started Mononessa a year ago, the first month I had headaches and cramps, but they went away after 1 cycle. Sometimes I get breakthrough bleeding, but for the last 2 cycles I have not had any breakthrough bleeding. My skin has cleared up with no acne."


"I had unprotected sex on April 8th took the pill 12hrs later! Experienced a few cramps and extreme tiredness! Yesterday April 14th my period started and I am extremely happy that this pill worked! Also I heard it does not work on overweight people but I weigh 180 and it worked for me!"


"Yes it helped a lot and i love the fact that i can concentrate now because before i couldn't concentrate at all. The thing is that after a few hours, i start to feel really depressed and really emotionnal but i love the fact that i can express myself better now."


"I've been on pretty much every antidepressant. SSRI's do nothing for my depression. The only other medication that helped was Wellbutrin, but I stopped that due to not being able to sleep at all.
I started on 5 mg then increased to 10 mg 2 weeks later. It has helped my depression the most and I have more energy. The side effects are what make me hate taking this. I've experienced nausea, vomiting, constipation, and decreased sexual desire. The worst though is the nausea. I'm nauseous every time I take it, doesn't matter if I eat with it or not. If I don't eat before I take it then I vomit. This medication is also expensive, it's not covered by my insurance."


"I am a mother of 3 great kids and I was throwing my life away by being addicted to any pain pill I could get my hands on. Primary Oxy. I had a great job and spent most of my money on the drugs. My main concern was getting them daily. Someone one told me about Methadone and I knew that if I didn't do something I would be dead before I was 40years and my kids without a mom.  I have been on Methadone for over a year and it literally saved my life.  I now have a life, I am a mom again, and a wife and a great worker. I just recently received an award for the community I live and work in for making my community a better place to live, and received a promotion. Not to bad for an addict and if not for Methadone I would NOT be where I am."


"Caught a bacterial infection from daughter visiting from Japan August 2016. Could not get well. Unknowingly had a dental abcess that made me even more ill. Did some research and found flagyl with Augmentin had helped others. Got dental problems addressed and took 21 days of flagyl 500 mg x 2 daily with Augmentin 875 mg x 2 daily. Got well. Had to have more invasive dental work and am currently taking 21 day course of flagyl 1000 mg x 2 daily with 875 mg Augmentin x2 daily to head off infection recurring. If you have been ill and given up hope, try this combo. Yep it's a lot of antibiotics but I was quite sick and it helped me. I was infection free at time of last dental work but taking this as a preventive course."


"For anyone taking this medication, do not take it with any kind of antidepressants or mood medication like Celexa, zoloft, tegretol, Xanax, or abilify. Definitely do not take it with ambien. It works wonders by itself, I've been on it since 2005 it helps with the anxiety symptoms I get from my PTSD. Anytime I feel disoriented or way to anxious where I'm throwing up, it usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes to work. But it's better than the feeling of thinking that you are having a heart attack, because it's just panic. Panic attacks can be managed many ways I use breathing techniques, (child breathing will not work lol) meditation, and medication. This is how I deal with that small aspect of my PTSD psychosis."


"I am on fire like I have poured acid up there. Same as everyone else crying and rolling in the bed. I had to wash this off and pray to fall asleep. This is in the garbage."


"By far the most effective medicine for treating complex acne. It is my opinion that taking Accutane and dealing with the minor side effects is less damaging than the stress and social fear and depression from acne.  Just do it and get on with your life!"


"I took Cipro for only three days for a bladder infection. I was left with ankle/tendon pain and diahrrea for three months. I had no clue what was happening to me. Turns out lots have had the same reaction to this class of antibiotic."


"I started this med as I have both RA and Systemic Lupus.  It did nothing for me and we added Methotrexate, still no benefit.  Added Enbrel, no better.  My eyesight was beginning to  fail so I stopped all of them.  My weight ballooned up by 25lbs!!  I have found no mainline meds to help and had to turn to Traditional Chinese Medicine for relief.  Works great for me.  I am still hoping to find something in the regular vein of meds to help and not hurt me.  My insurance will not cover the help of the Traditional Chinese Medicine that is helping.  What's up with that?"


"Started taking Niacin-B3 500mg a month ago at bed time. About 3 weeks into it I would wake up with stomach pains with the feeling of vomiting, I also had loose bowels, legs hurt, dry skin and itchy rash skin. Stopped taking the meds instantly and called my Dr. Still suffering with rash and itch."


"I am a 70-year old female who has had a chronic problem with colonic inertia for many years and have done the water-fiber thing, eating healthy, exercise, various laxatives, enemas -- you name it.  Not only did these measures not help much but I was always having abdominal pain, bloating, heartburn and just not enjoying eating anymore.  I was placed on Linzess and have taken 2 pills thus far and I think I am experiencing a miracle.  I have a full and complete Bowel Motion with normal cramping and no more suffering with bloating and cramping during the day. I just pray it continues and my body doesn't get used to it and stop working."


"I used elocon cream for several weeks to clear my sides of nose(pigmentation),and it get cured 90%.but I got some pimples on my nose after using this cream,and now there are pimple marks on my nose."


"If it wasn't for the cost I would give it a ten. I've been taking 150mgs a day for almost a year. With a card from drug co. I only pay $20, but when that card expires I cant afford $50 per month. My doctor just prescribed me Ritalin 10mgs 3 times a day (also probably have ADD). "


"I had moderate hormonal breakouts and was prescribed this by my dermatologist. He raved about its effects although it was a "newer" product on the market. He admitted that he was biased because he was a spokesman for this medication (red flag - no celebrity uses proactive and no doc pushes meds unless they're getting paid for it.) used it for 3 months which he said most patients saw an 85% success rate -  I was not one of those patients. If anytbibf my skin was worse while using aczone. I had more breakouts than ever before and in areas I hadn't had breakouts in. They were more red and frequent than when I started using aczone. Everyone reacts to mess differently but this was a huge waste of time and money that in the end made my acne worse"


"The best I've been prescribed for pain so far."


"I've been on Buspar for 7 days, and I have already noticed that my life-long intrusive thoughts/rumination have died down a lot. I have also noticed a decrease in social anxiety. I'm taking 15mg a day, 7.5 morning/evening. I wasn't on anything before, so I have nothing to compare to but my untreated state."


"Never had a YI until 3yrs ago during pregnancy unfortunately has had them since normally use the off brand OTC YI medication insert and they seem to never work 1st time using Monistat 1 and it seems to be working!! Didn't have trouble inserting it or use with it no burning or itching from ovule!! Its been almost 24hrs no discharge no burning no itching no odor I am very pleased with this product and recommend it well worth $18!!!"


"No side effects. Takes a little to ease the pain in right leg and back. Do not eat at the same time you take pill, it has a bitter taste."


"Day 4 on Belviq. Cravings haven't subsided nor do I feel like my brain is signaling me that I'm full or that I do not need that Reese's in line at the

market for the ride home. My main concern is the tiredness, the lethargy and listlessness. It is horrible. I want to stop taking it but have read to "hang in there". Oh mercy!! I'm trying but it's so hard. My husband can notice the difference. My sexual appetite is gone, heck maybe it's bc I'm too tired. In any case I will continue for several more days as I hear this will go away, but it's so very hard. I am hoping that my cravings for sweets will subside as well. Will update."


"I've recently gotten the Skylar onserted. Its easier than trying to remember the pill every day. Hpwever, I have been in constant pain since it was inserted and I have been spotting/bleeding for weeks. It is quite uncomfortable and the pain/bleeding gets worse after sex. It's bad enough that I cannot stand or walk at times because of the discomfort."


"Wasn't a good thing for me.  Was dizzy and fell down three times."


"Excellent.  Worked  from day one for my anxiety! I tried SSRI's and Wellbutrin. Neither worked for my anxiety. 10mg of the propranolol and I am so happy and waaaaay less anxious."


"I had to switch to a new contraceptive after being on Depo for 5 yrs. Since I was used to having no periods on the Depo my doctor okayed me to take only active pills and never take the placebos. After 4 months, I started getting breakthrough bleeding on and off for the next 6 weeks. It did it's job, since I am baby-free, but I couldn't keep taking it from all the random bleeding for almost 6 weeks. While on it, I had headaches for the first few weeks, but they subsided. I was definitely more emotional while on it the first couple months, but that leveled out mostly. I still would cry easier, though. The good thing is that I did seem to have a little bit higher sex drive. "
