Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"As far as birth control and periods went,  this was fine.  My periods were much less crampy and painful,  my skin didn't change at all. However,  it was like my personality completely flipped. I felt robbed of my sense of adventure,  I had absolutely no interest in going and doing fun things with my family. I've never had depression, but I think this must be what it feels like. I stopped taking it and am almost back to my old self,  even though I'm back to having terrible periods.  I will take cramps over how I was acting any day of the week."


"My wisdom tooth got infected(pericoronitis) and the left side of my face is currently throbbing. I was prescribed penicillin along with ibuprofen 600mg. The penicillin takes a few days to kick in and ibuprofen does absolutely nothing. I called the doc back and they prescribed Tylenol #3. At first I was excited to relieve my pain, but after about 2 hours into my medication I still felt no relief. I hate pills and generally don't take anything on a regular basis(2 Advil for headaches when they rarely occur) so I don't have a tolerance for medicine. Tylenol #3 did absolutely nothing for me. Might as well have not taken anything at all. Garbage!"


"Took my first dose Saturday night.  Wow! What a difference the next morning, I was wide awake, alert and hot to go to my work and my college lessons! As I write this I have been on Xyrem for about three months, and recently started having hand tremors occasionally.  I noticed that one other person ("Anonymous") mentioned shaking; once in awhile my tremors are strong.  Xyrem certainly has cured my severe narcolepsy, which began about a year ago without warning.  I am glad to see that several people have been on Xyrem for years without any adverse side effects, and no withdrawal symptoms when they stopped briefly. "


"I had it all. Everything people dream of was mine but I lost it all when I started doing Roxy's. Once was all it took for me to take many oxycodone 30s as I could get my hands on for 3 years. I tried to stop by myself, went to rehab, meetings, counseling, everything. During these 3 years I went from being a loving daughter, sister and friend to a monster. I have been on Suboxone since 4/20/11 and that was the day my life changed. I feel like a normal person again. There is a price to my happiness though I have headaches, am tired very often and experience extreme constipation from the Suboxone. If that's all I have to go through to be the person I am now than that's fine. Suboxone literally saved my life."


"Losartan Potassium 50MG Tab. I started this med on April 26th 2016. I had Gas after first pill.

I tried to tolerate it and had hoped my body would get used to it. On the 8th day I still had terrable gas.  On the 8th day  I have stomach pain, gurgling intestions and on the toilet all night.

Blowing out tons of gas also. My stomach hurt to press down on it the pain was so bad!

I went to my Dr. today and was taken off the Lasartan Potassium and he  gave me ..Verapamil Er 120MG. I will take 1/2 pill for the first week to see how my body tolerates this med."


"I was very hesitant to go on anything, after years of self medicating with alcohol. I've been on Pristiq for 3 days, and already, I feel much better, less angry, much less anxiety. The side effects have been minimal, but a bit annoying, we'll see how that goes."


"After 3 beautiful children I found myself struggling to lose weight. I never gained more weight but I just couldn't lose it. I was 215 pounds for 5 years after the birth of my last child. I have always been muscular so it wasn't sloppy weight, but I wanted my pre-childbearing body back. I am only 5'3" tall and I didn't like that according to BMI charts I am considered obese. The first day taking this I was 217 pounds, today I am 186. I have gone from a size 14 to a 10. My only struggle so far has been maintaining muscle mass. Make sure you adopt healthy eating and drinking habits (lots of hidden calories in juices, soda, etc.), and get up and burn calories. Use it as a stepping stone not a crutch, good luck!"


"I am 58 yo active woman with full time career. I began to obsess about my father's death. Every thing I saw reminded me of him and was painful. I cried over mishaps at home or thinking about a beloved pet that had died. Work was my relief but as soon as I got home the sadness started. My MD started me on Lexapro, which wasn't good for me. I suffered through work for a day but was too spacey. My job requires strong concentration skills. Prozac next which made me yawn like a lion. By week 3 I did not feel sad, but felt sick and had yawns like a lion. I then started Cymbalta and felt this was the most gentle antidepressant so far but then my EYES became swollen and DRY. I couldn't wear contacts! I gave up on antidepressants and started exercising. "


"Buspar has changed my life! I absolutely love this medication. I suffer from phobias and health anxiety and this medication has worked wonders for me. As a nurse, I didn't want anything addictive and this was my miracle. I tried Ativan and it didn't even touch my anxiety. I have had no side effects with the Buspar and it has helped me to relax and feel like myself again! I highly recommend it!"


"I would just like to state some things for anyone reading the negative reviews and getting worried, because these comments stressed me out for weeks. It is important to understand a couple things. For one, people who experience no negative side effects don't tend to write reviews, because they are so content with the product that they don't think about it. Secondly, all birth control pills affect each individual completely differently. What one person thinks is the best pill another will swear up and down it is the worst. If your doctor prescribes this pill for you, don't be too afraid to take it. Give it a chance and it may be great for you, as it was for me. If it's not, just stop taking it and find one that better suits your body."


"It this drug has sovled the problem of hundreds of thousands of Alzheimers sufferers across America and England. Then all I can do is give you a 10/10."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I had my 5th colonoscopy today and I used Prepopik  for the first time. In past props, I had horrible experiences with the different drinks that I had tried it. Several of them caused me to be very nauseous and even throw up but this was fantastic. I followed the directions for taking it twice in one evening and it worked perfectly. I was in the bathroom 45 minutes  after the first drink and then went regularly from that point on. I was a little nervous that my output was not as clear as I would have liked but by the time of the procedure at 8 AM things were at a good point. The report I received from the doctor said that the prep was excellent and they could see everything clearly.  I am so grateful to this company for developing a product that doesn't taste horrible and can be used in such a small amount."


"I'm pretty sure I've been taking it for over a year and it's amazing how much it has helped me handle my anxiety! I used to have suicidal thoughts and panic attacks daily but now I never have suicidal thoughts and I only have panic attacks once in a blue moon during my period. I'm sure my anti depression meds and my birth control are definitely helping but I know that without Gabapentin my anxiety would be a wreck still. Super glad my psychiatrist placed me on it!"


"I've been using this, along with a medicated morning scrub, for about 3 months now. I've noticed less inflamed acne spots, but I still get normal break out flares at different times. I'm still waiting to see consistent results at this point. But, I did stop using the Veltin Gel while I had a stomach virus, and even just missing the one dose that evening, the next day I had brand new flare ups of acne. So the medicine is definitely doing something."


"I was on capoxone shots for two months and was miserable with the sight reactions and itching everywhere . My doctor wanted me to stop and start gilenya . I was hesitant at first but now I'm so happy I chose to do so. Its scary to begin with seeing all the testing needing to be done and precautions, but after you get through it all and the first couple weeks of side affects , I had severe fatigue (even more then I already had before starting) and also some irregular heartbeats but would go away quickly . Now I'm on almost my third month and am forever great full for a once a day pill.. I have not had a relapse yet and am praying it stays that way ! Side affects have now almost completely gone also!!!"


"been on this medication for 3 weeks now, no results, useless"


"Worked well at first, but then stopped working, I have to take 5mg melatonin every night, 6mg prazosin (for PTSD nightmares), and 50mg of benadryl now for it to promote sleep onset successfully. I feel my body wakes up around 6am, (depending on the time I take it mostly). I don't know if it's my body becoming completely dependent on Lunesta to sleep, or taking my Prazosin lasting only about 6 hours causes my blood pressure to rise when it wears off making me wake up, or if I have back issues making me awake after it wears off. I think since I have delayed sleep phase disorder, my body has become too accustomed to the medicine to remain asleep due to the long duration of action, in comparison to the short duration of action of ambien."


"2 years 7 Months: One A fib at 19 Months. Watch for serious drug interactions. "


"I have used this product 4 times and each time it has been very effective. The side effects aren't that bad, the worst that happens is stronger cramps on your period and fatigue. Your period may come a couple days after you take the pill or it may not even come that month however you shouldn't stress because stressing will delay it even more. This product is great and if taken correctly you should have nothing to worry about."


"I've been on Buspar for about 6 weeks. At first I had headaches that turned into migraines. After taking 15 mg in am, 15 in the pm as prescribed. I no longer have experienced anxieties attacks and handle stress much better."


"Words cannot even describe how this medicine has helped me. For the first time ever I have hope for the future. This drug is a life saving miracle. Ive been taking it for over a year now and only bad side effect I get is I will get blinding headaches if I don't drink enough water but it is soooooo worth it."


"Beyaz was the second birth control I used. In terms of acne it completely cleared my back, chest, and face acne. However, I have gained about 15 pounds and am very active and cannot lose weight. I also am irritable like no other. I have terrible mood swings. I loved that it cleared my acne but the mood swings and weight gain have to go so, I am switching to Apri but if that doesn't work I would go back."


"Pristiq was the 3rd medication I tried after Prozac and Wellbutrin.  I have had no side effects, no weight gain and no effects on my sex drive.  The only downside is that it is an expensive drug and some health plans may not want to cover it."


"Been on Victoza for 6 days, Dr started me right on the 1.8 dose. Still use a for a couple days, cravings sided dramatically, I am tolerating this med successfully. Not sure of my A1C as yet, but my fasting blood glucose has gone from an average of 200 down to 115 this morning, lost 3 lbs..... Wow!"


"I am also the first one in my pain clinic to try Savella. It has helped me so far. My pain is a little better. I just hope it continues."


"I'm going on my second implanon. The first three years were OK. I didn't get a period for the first year. Then I got a 2 week long period every three months for the second year. The final year I got my period every month for a few days. Normal for me. This time around...not sure if I'm liking it. I got it replaced in April. I haven't had a period since then....which is fine by me. But I have been gaining weight and can't seem to lose it. I've always been very petite, 107 lbs is my normal weight. Now I am up to almost 130. Also, my arm where the implant is itches like crazy almost every day. Bad enough that at times I just want to get it taken out. But I more than likely wont"


"Zoloft works for me. I've tried other medicines, and had too many unfavorable side effects. Zoloft has just sort of evened me out. I can cope now, with therapy of course. I'd recommend Zoloft for anyone who has bad side effects from other medicines, and who is getting therapy too. I'm on a high dose, and my doctor wants to start weaning me off soon, so the therapy is key, I think."


"Deplin has given me my life back. It has enabled me to gain control of my emotional roller coaster, my anger outbursts and become a more down to earth person who is now approachable - when before I wasn't. I was lucky, my therapist recommended me to be tested for MTHFR because I also have Factor V Leiden and MTHFR is found higher in those with Factor V (both are genetic disorders). After my results, she gave me Deplin and the next day I woke up a new person. My husband and family are amazed and I'm now capable of being the wife and mother that I want to be. I am so happy - and so amazed. And I feel WHOLE again."


"I was on Latuda for a week and it made me way worse.  Now that I'm off of it the depression is much worse."


"This drug gave me all kind of side effects that made it impossible to continue taking the drug. I wish I never would have started it. I would not recommend this drug to anyone and would encourage them to find an alternate holistic option."


"I started Amitriptyline for Fibromyalgia, with hopes that it would also help with depression & anxiety. My max dose so far is 40mgs @ bedtime. Initially, it was extremely sedating, but less so as time went on, & when I started taking Wellbutrin for fatigue, I had no residual sedation or daytime sleepiness at all. Ami was a life saver to me in regards to pain relief. As for depression & anxiety, it wasn't helpful until I combined it with Wellbutrin. I would highly recommend the combo for Fibro fog/fatigue/pain/anxiety/depression. It's like taking an SNRI without the side effects! I increase by 10mgs as needed when my pain begins breaking through. I also found if I'm really stressed or anxious during the day & take 10mgs, it is very calming."


"Helped stop hallucinations."


"I have been experiencing motion sickness every time I travel by plane and decided to give this a try. Not only did I not experience any nausea, but it knocked me out for my two hour flight! I fell asleep while people were still boarding and woke up when the plane hit the ground again. Amazing!"


"I have tried OTC migraine medicines, and three other prescriptions.  Maxalt is by far the best, and MLT makes it nearly perfect.  The only bad side effect I have is that the back of my neck gets sore.  Maxalt does this far less than Zomig, and taking Advil Liquigels or Vicodin with the Maxalt MLT helps quite a bit.  My ideal treatment for a migraine is to take Maxalt MLT and Advil Liquigels, then lay down with something cold on my forehead.  Once I am able to doze, I sleep until I wake up on my own.  I can't believe how much better I feel after the nap.  At work, I just take the two medicines.  It takes me longer to feel better, but makes my headache much more bearable."


"I am a 35 Year young Man. I've been diagnosed, with Fibromyalgia twice over a period of 14 years. The first was by my Primary caregiver. He was positive that was what I was dealing with so he doped me to say the least, wake up to Narcotics, keep up through the day with stimulants and lay down with anti-depressants and sleeping pills. I quit seeing him. I continued with the pain for years, and then went to a neurologist, and he reaffirmed the diagnosis. I have been going through the medicines the same as you all have, Lyrica, Cymbalta, cyclobenzaprine, all the above, until  Savella just three days ago. I am realizing relief for the first time in a very very long time, no side effects and I pray it keeps getting better and better. Keep going."


"Okay so I got nexplanon September of 2015 2m pp I was breastfeeding at the time. Got my period for a week after insertion then nothing at all. Well then I get my period in mid May lasts for two weeks goes away for four days then bam started all over again. I have no other side effects except bleeding & it's getting on my last nerve. Im embarrassed to have sex with the guy I've been talking to because it will not stop. Before I got pregnant it was bad enough they always lasted for a week straight but this? I don't think I can handle it. I've ruined so many pairs of panties because of this. I'm over it. This will be month 8 of having it & ive loved it up until now."


"I'm 18 years old, I have no children, and I'm not sexually active.  Ever since I was 11 I've had extensive issues with my period.  After trying a number of different methods that didn't work to control the bleeding and pain, my doctor suggested mirena.  I had it inserted under general anesthetic, the first few days I was crampy but the cramps were nothing compared to the accidental rip from the speculum (ouch!).  I started bleeding immediately after insertion, and in 3 months it still hasn't stopped.  It's gone down to a back and forth between light to medium bleeding and spotting.  I can usually get by with a thick pantyliner.  I've had some awful cramps while ovulating and on heavier days. Helpful with lessening blood loss, not cramps."


"I have just started this yesterday. I was in a hit &run accident that changed my life. It took over 2 years alone to finally walk as little as 25 ft with devices. I did every kind of therapy, pain medicines, patches, injections, etc. I would get some relief, but side effects prevents any return to normal routines or withstanding activities with family. My pain has truly limited my social and family life.  Norco never lasts long enough, and the GI upset was bad enough to warrant the need of continuously trying to tweak the regimen. Having had a career and college degrees, I have rested to give in to the constraints of chronic pain.   I have only taken 2 pills so far, but it seems to helping better, with fewer doses. I will post again in 1 WK."


"I got this BC may 6th 2015 & I've been on my period every since then! It is now may 25th! I hope it goes away soon and hopefully I don't gain weight on it otherwise I'll be trying something new."


"I typed out a long review and I guess we've got a word limit so I will make this short and sweet. I have had Liletta since Oct. 2015. First 3 months = heavy bleeding & acne. Nothing I can't deal with. However, for the past month I have had N&V, abd pain, and diarrhea. Only abnormal finding from the doc is a small ovarian cyst (unlikely to cause my S&S). I was referred to a GI specialist, but I very strongly believe that my IUD is causing this. I will be sticking to oral contraceptives from now on."


"I got it in August 2011 and I never had any serious issues other then irregular periods but now after my 3 years is coming to an end I am in so much discomfort. I have literally been cramping for a week straight, I have no appetite, and I'm also nauseous. The signs I have you would think I was pregnant. I've read from many sites that its common for women to relate their experience to feeling like they are pregnant. Well I find this to be so bad that I will not get it again which is sad because I love it for the last 3 years. Needless to say despite the negatives it does the job and I never had a scare in 3 years it is seriously worry free."


"I've had the Skyla for six months now and love it! I always wanted an IUD because I'm terrible about remembering to take a pill, but I was worried about using an IUD with my small size (5'2 105lbs never had children). Turns out I had no reason to be worried! The procedure went really smoothly only mildly uncomfortable for like 3 minutes. I had cramps and bleeding for two days (no worse than a rough period cycle) then I was back to normal. Bonus: my periods went away a month after insertion! No more buying tampons!"


"Lower backache, the doctor said it was arthritis.  I have not yet done x-rays but after 2 weeks the pain has competely subsided.  So have other joint aches, which I guess I had ignored."


"24 hr medicine for pain, I only got 6 hours of minimal relief.  Started on the 20 mg for 1 month, then Dr switched me to 40 mg for 1 months, then 30 mg for 1 month.  It always seemed to start working long after I took it, about 12 hrs and made me extremely sleepy and tired, along with pain.  In the 3 months I took it, I gained 15 pounds without even eating more or differently because I was constantly nauseous with it.  Who wants food when queasy?  I have been prescribed and instant release pain med and have been on 2 days.  It works great with no side effects and I have lost the 7 lbs of the 15 the hysinglia  made me gain.  Hopefully the other 8 lbs will come off quickly too because the weight gain from the drug caused my A1C to go"


"I must have tried at least a dozen different bipolar meds. This is by far the best.  Has the least side effects and I am much more clear-headed than others.  Love it."


"Paresthesia in hands and feet
tremors."


"I was on NuvRing for 3 years. At first, I loved it. Not having to worry about it and being able to skip periods was amazing. About 2 years in, my sex drive was non-existent. After, I stopped it came right back. It also was painful having sex while I was on it. I definitely experienced the hair loss with it. I did experience weird symptoms taking it out as well. My nipples were sore to the touch, and constant bloating. I also gained a lot of weight coming off, 13 lbs in 2 weeks. It was easier to lose weight about 2 months after stopping. Overall, it wasn't a horrible experience. But, I would not try it again!"


"I got this thing in December 2015 and it really sucks I'm always emotional never happy mostly angry I have spells where I don't feel like eating went to c what was wrong and the doctors say I'm depressed on top of that Im having pregnancy symptoms but the nexplanon sucks its ruining my life all the way around been lightly bleeding bout a month it stops until I have sex then its right back this is really stupid I want out...NEVER AGAIN"


"I took Contrave for three days and decided to stop because the nausea was too much to handle, feeling as if I would throw up an any moment.  I'm sure it works for some, but these feelings aren't worth it.  Additionally my energy was sapped, it was somewhat counteractive in that I had no desire to work out, I just wanted to go home after work and sleep.  I typically lift three days a week, and cardio twice a week.  I'm not sure where to go from there, but I'll find something.  I weigh 168 and am 5'4.  I was hoping to lose twenty pounds for an upcoming vacation, not with this drug."


"I was diagnosed with HIV early this year and I was 19. As an individual you freak out. I started Atripla and the only symptom I have is very vivid dreams my doctor told me my status is great. And I had blood work done recently and they are amazing."


"Started taking this medication for under the skin cystic acne (1-2 would pop up pretty consistently). As soon as one would go l I would have another one!  I had been prescribed bezoyl peroxide clindimyacin cream, used proactive, still would get it....  Finally talked to a new doctor who prescribed this 50 mg 2x/ day.  I am 1 month in and no new acne!  I am very prone to yeast infections, but really have not had a problem with that.... Yet.  I also started taking an anti depressant at the same time so I am not sure which one I can assign side effects to, but was waking up in the middle of the night a little restless/anxious and had a little dry mouth.  These symptoms lasted about a two weeks and now I am back to normal with clear skin!"


Hyperparathyroidism Secondary to Renal Impairment

"I'm healed!"


"I'm a T1 diabetic. My doctor had me on 20 mg to keep my cholesterol under 100. No side effects. 2 years later she bumped up my dosage to 40 mg when my cholesterol went to 105. Within 3 days, the joints in my hands and muscles in my lower arms became extremely painful. I'm also very tired. Called my doctor and waiting for a return call. I am not taking this dose again!"


"My daughter HATES the flavor! I can't get her to keep it down for more than a couple seconds before it's coming out of her mouth.  I'd rather fight her in getting to swallow a pill than cleaning up the medicine from the floor.  Will be trying something else."


"I am newly diagnose with Fibromyalgia (I have been treating %u201Carthritis pain%u201D for years) but progress to very painful "Hit by a Bus" type of pain about 4 months ago.  Lyrica 75mg stopped pain but left me feeling high and started retaining water weight.  I tried Lyrica 25 or 30 mg but it did nothing for my pain.  Then the doctor tried me on Savella trial pack 12.5 mg %u2013 no problems, but Savella%u2019s next white pill, I think it%u2019s 25 mg, I started getting heart palpitations and chest pain, hot flashes and increased my blood pressure.  My doctor suggested I use only the 12.5 mg (the lowest dosage) 1 per day.  It took a few days for me to start feeling better but I%u2019ve been on 1 per day (12.5 mg) for over 3 weeks now with NO SIDE EFFECTS and it is really controlling my pain and depression.  Savella is a GREAT medication AT A LOW DOSAGE.  The prescription is very expensive even with insurance so my doctor wrote my prescription for 2 pills per day, but I only need it once per day.   So a prescription (60 pills) last me for 2 months which is a great help.  Savella works great for me at a lower dosage.  Don%u2019t give up, I know I almost did, keep trying medicines at low dosages to control pain and avoid side effects.  I%u2019m feeling much better now, so I will try to start walking/exercising again.  God bless everyone."


"I just recently started this medication and so far it has not worked very well for me. My doctor first prescribed me Provigil but my insurance didn't cover enough of it for me to be able to afford it. This worked pretty good for me the 1st day or 2 but now less than a week later I'm back to the way I was dozing off and on all day long. I was so excited to finally have an answer and a treatment that now I'm just frustrated and sad that it's not working and afraid that something that could work for me will end up being too expensive!"


"It helped me curb my urges to eat."


"Lexapro has changed my life significantly. I had GAD and my anxiety was absolutely awful, especially since I am in graduate school. I started on Lexapro and didn't start seeing the effects for about 6 months; but it was well worth the wait. I am the "old me" and couldn't be happier. My advice is to give it time- it really does take a while."


"I personally WILL NEVER recommend Paxil to ANYONE. It literally ruined my life. At first, I felt that it was ok. But, quickly and suddenly, I started gaining weight. ALOT of weight. Literally, my pants fit one week and did not fix the next week. And that wasn't all. I was feeling much worse. I was very manic. So depressed that I could not get out of bed. My life was work, eat, and sleep. I had no motivation and I started fixating on thoughts of suicide. It wasn't until the unexplained rapid weight gain that I started to ask myself what had changed in my routine. That's when I realized that Paxil was the newest addition to my life and I began doing research.  I've been off of it for about 2 months and I still can't lose the weight."


"I had been taking soma for the past 6 or 7 years for muscle spasms. I only ever took one at bedtime to eliminate leg spasms and get a perfect 8 hours of sleep. My doctor will now no longer prescribe it because the FDA morons think they know better than him. Tried Xanaflex, and it left me with what felt like a kidney infection, crazy dreams and it was only good for 4-6 hours of sleep. About to try baclofen.  Haven't slept well in 3 weeks. I think the FDA is trying to kill me. If it wasn't so far to Canada, I would leave now."


"I have been having daily migraines with aura for many years. I tried different things until I was prescribed calcium channel blockers.I  tried first amilodipine with encouraging results at first, but then having severe side effects. So switched to verapamil, where the positive impact on the migraines is a bit less pronounced, but I am practically free of side effects. it didn't solve my problem, but I can feel a significant improvement."


"Miracle medicine.  I am not the same person.  My mind stopped racing, thought I had OCD but that hyperness is gone.  I am easier to be with and around, sleep better.  Have had no weight gain.  I forget a bit more it seems but can live with that. Don't snap at people, calmer, overall just better."


"Been taking the drug for 2 weeks. The dosage is 70.  I have adult ADHD. The side effects I am experiencing are a slight head ache during sleep and I am experiencing insomnia.  Probably need to check my blood pressure more often.  I am not all that happy with current results."


"I have been having depression for about 10 years. It took a long time to get the right one. Eventually I was put on Effexor XR. Started from 37.5 then finally 300mg per day. Effexor gave me a lot of side effects but I found it to be very good making me feel myself again. There was only one major problem, I got addicted to GAMBLING even from the day I started with 37.5. I was in major dept. I am now trying other medicines (Seroquel) but I am not the same anymore, very lazy, no motivation. Since I have stopped Effexor I have stopped gambling. And as for the depression, I am on trial with Seroquel. Wish me luck!!"


"I very much appreciate the quickness of the calming from an anxiety attack."


"I have been taking hydrochlorothiazide for about ten years and it has helped me with high blood pressure. The only bad thing about it is that I now have low potassium levels and have to take potassium pills but overall it does help with the water retention on lowering high blood pressure."


"First day, my skin feels fine and normal. Second, day minor scaling of skin. Third day, my skin gets itchy, reddness, and scaling of skin becomes more noticeable. Fourth day, burns like crazy, my skin looks worse than it was before. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, it is hell. I am currently sensitive to sun and touch, and now I have more acne. Heres some advice if you have the side affects, use petroleum jelly, and wash your face every now and then. Right now I'm raging in pain, therefore I am not willing to continue using this product."


"I've been on Luvox for 6 months now on 200 mg/day. I switched from Prozac because of libido problems, but it actually didn't make any difference. I completely lost interest in sex and got weight really fast.
My OCD is controlled, but I feel depressed, sleeping a lot during day and nothing during night haha it's horrible...
Also I compulsively scratch my head until it bleeds (tricotilomania?) and Prozac had helped me stop it. Now on Luvox, the problem is back.
I'm switching back to Prozac or giving a try to Zoloft."


"Terrible leg and knee pain , the drug worked great in reducing my bad numbers but the pain is not worth the results"


"When I first started taking Desogen it seemed fine. As a few months went by I noticed that it made me cry a lot and I mean a lot. There was a lot of emotional ups and downs for me and a bit of weight gain. I also had very severe migraines as well as blurry vision but I guess its different for everyone. I stopped taking Desogen and all these side effects stopped thankfully."


"Not working for me."


"Hi everyone, just wanted to share my 8 months experience with Nuvaring..

First I was really happy , it helps with my heavy and painful periods for sure!

Unfortunately my libido went to zero and even if I took the ring out intercourse was really painful...like sharp razor blades.

Also suffered from horrible migraines almost everyday... be careful when you use 1 combines hormones..

My neurologist who I saw for my chronics migraines suggest me to take off the ring and see if my migraine will get better.

After one week I notice a dramatic change!!

No more migraines that was ruin my life, and great no painful intercourse..got my libido back lol!

So in general I was not satisfied with nuvaring, had more bad side effects than positive..."


"I stopped taking avorastatin due to my blood sugar raising while on the prescription.  I also experienced a dull aching in my legs and arms off and on.  The avorastatin also gave me night terrors where I woke up screaming seeing dark figures in the room.  Now I have switched to Livalo for the last few months.  My blood sugars are still up a littler higher than when I don't take cholesterol medication, but it is much more manageable.  My nightmares have gone away.  My cholesterol numbers are within range with healthy eating.  I do not experience muscle aches at all with Livalo.  So far, so good!"


"I was prescribed this medication 500mg 2x a day for 7 days.

The worst symptoms for me that no one else has mentioned was the heart burn! Yikes. But the nasty taste in my mouth was easy to overcome by just keeping hard candy around.

The BV is all cleared up though."


"I find out I wasn't  ovulating at 24 years old,it was very hard for me and never thought at this young age I will have issues getting  pregnant. I had an issue with my period too so my GYN prescribed clomid 50mg to take on day 4 of my period  for 4 days. I took Provera to induce a period before taking the clomid. I looked up reviews on the medication  and it was a success for others and not a success for some women. My period came on Thanksgiving November 24th I started taking the clomid on November 28th and did ovulation checking from day 12 day of my period. At day 28 nothing happened  but my doctor encouraged me to keep tracking my ovulation  and come see her at day 35 if I don't  get my period. Find out I am pregnant on December 27.  Wow"


"When I was 16 I had the WORST period. Major cramps to where I couldn't go to school, bloated super bad. So my dr. Recommended the shot. I got it. And since then I've had not even the slightest spotting. And it's been 2 years. One night the condom broke completely and I was so worried.  But didn't get pregant. I've gained 5-10 pounds over the course. But I for sure recommend."


"I was diagnosed in April 2010.  My CD4 count was 10, yes 10...I know, not good.  I had been researching the multitude of HIV antivirals for some time, knowing my test results were going to show I was HIV positive.  Decided Atripla was likely to be the best for me.  My doctor put me on it right away and within 1 month my CD4 count was already up to 134.  VL is also coming down quite rapidly as well.  You can't beat one pill a day.  I take it at bedtime and have not noticed any serious side effects.  I will occasionally wake up in the morning feeling as though I had just fallen asleep, even though I've been in bed for 8 hours and totally out."


"My doctor prescribed me this pill because I have been diagnosed with PCOS. Sometimes I get stomach aches and it makes my boobs hurt, but other than that, no mood swings, and I've actually lost weight. Although everyone's bodies are different, I'd recommend this pill to anyone thinking of going on birth control for the first time."


"I just got diagnosed with hyperhidrosis but have suffered from it since my teen years I am now 38 I never knew there was medicine for this I literally have failed at job interviews due to my excessive sweating on my head and face I stopped wearing makeup, lotion, and even started taking cold showers to try and decrease sweating but nothing worked so I have been using drysol 3 nights now and I have noticed some decrease but it hasn't completely gone away, I just hope the itching, stinging, burning sensation is worth it"


"Vicodin is an excellent pain killer for oral or any kind of surgery to bring home. It doesn't make me sick to my stomach the way some other pain pills do. I have Fibromyalgia and CFS and took it for that type of pain but it was too short acting and I needed to keep increasing the dose. It also has a lot of Tylenol in it for long term use which can damage the liver so I'm on something else now for my Fibromyalgia pain. It does the job very well for short term pain relief."


"I've been taking Asacol since I was 8 years old. So far I like how it works besides the cost, I think that it is a wonderful medication, no side effects for me."


"I'm 17 years old and have been battling awful cystic acne for about 10 years. As I've aged, it's only worsened, which I'm assuming is due to an influx in hormones. At first, doctors misdiagnosed me as having eczema. When I was finally diagnosed with cystic acne, my doctor prescribed tetracycline. I was on it for about 1 year, at age 14-15, and it helped a little, but not drastic changes. I noticed that it started turning my teeth brown, as if I'd eaten chocolate and didn't drink anything or brush my teeth afterwards. I was prescribed minocycline (Minocin) instead. It has helped my acne tremendously, but it is still turning my teeth brown, which is not flattering nor attractive, especially for a girl my age with dating and all."


"I was prescribed this drug for major depression and C-PTSD. I only took it for one week, 5mg. It was awful. I was exhausted all of the time, had trouble falling asleep and my sleep was disturbed by very vivid and bizarre dreams. I woke up every morning shaking, dizzy and disoriented. During the day my legs hurt so bad it made walking difficult. It made me so hungry, craving carbs, I gained 9lbs of belly fat in one week! It left me with zero motivation and unable to feel any joy, excitement, pleasure. I felt detached, empty, I felt dead. I stopped taking it and while i'm still struggling with depression I do feel like me again, I feel alive and have lost all of the weight gained while taking it."


"I am 38. After my total hip replacement, Doc. found sacroiliac joint swollen. I couldn't bend and had a lot of pain. Been in Humira for 2 1/2 years now. If you numb your site with ice before using your Humira pen. 1/2 hour before, is less painful. "


"I started this birth control a few months ago and it has made me into a hormonal mess! One of the side effects is anger and I didn't realize it till yesterday when I didn't speak to my husband for 30 mins all because he wouldn't turn the radio station off when I didn't want to listen to a song. I have never gotten so upset over something to silly. There's other instances but that was just the one that made me realize I need to get on a different pill."


"I was diagnosed as HIV positive on April 9, 2015 and had my first appointment with a ID doctor on April 29, 2015.   My CD4 was at 536 and my viral load at 197,689.   I began taking Triumeq on June 1 and after only 30 days my blood work came back with my CD4 at 1192 and my viral load was undetectable.  I never had any side effects since being on Triumeq.   I have great insurance and with the patient savings card I pay nothing.   I am 55 years old and am very healthy with high energy and never missed a day of work in over 15 years.  Triumeq is definitely a HIV wonder drug that I would highly recommend to anyone living with this disease."


"I haven't taken birth control for about 10 yrs. I decided to start because my PMS is severe at times. I started Sprintec and about a day later I began to feel nauseous. I was sick for 3 solid weeks. I expected some changes considering I was disrupting my body system. After the nausea ended I felt amazing for a whole week, then it got really bad. I started getting irritable, I didn't want to be around my son or husband. I didn't want to work or do anything really. Everything made me angry, then I started having feelings of hopelessness. That's when I stopped taking it. I have read that it works for some people, but it did not work for me. "


"I've only been taking it for about a week or so, so far, but I have to say my skin has showed a LITTLE results so far but not major. The redness went down a bit but that's it. I'm going to stick with it and hope for the best."


"I have been on many anti depressants and anxiety meds in the past but this one is the right one for me. It is the only medication that I have taken that does not cause erection problems. While it is no miracle pill, it does take the edge off and allows me to deal with things without anger. I am actually able to see the world in a positive light and not be so negative all of the time. I believe I am taking half of the 5mg pill three times a day. I was supposed to be up to a pill and a half three times a day by now, but stronger doses make me feel medicated and I do not like that. I am perfectly happy with the results and my ability to control my anxiety problems. My anxiety is still there, but controlling it is key to long term health."


"5'4 African American Female-

Beginning weight: 208lbs

Weight after 2 week trial: 197

6 days after increasing dose: 193

No exercise.

Side effects: no energy, Dramatic decrease in appetite, insomnia, increased heart rate, increased anxiety, and unusual anger.

I'm losing weight, rapidly, but is it worth it?"


"So, I hadn't realized that I had gotten Chlamydia until about two weeks ago when my doctors office had called me (I had apparently had it for two months without any signs or symptoms, although I should have immediately gone after having sex with this dude twice and almost immediately got what I thought were yeast infections) I took two of these burgundy pills (500mg of Azithromycin) Tuesday evening with no side effects.  No effects whatsoever is more like it. It's now Sunday morning and I still see and feel no different.  Worse even. I think I'm going to try to find a different treatment because this isn't doing jack for me."


"I took this medicine for the first time and I ended up dreaming a very romantic dream. It helps me with my panic/anxiety attacks, I would like to figure out what triggers my freaking out. Never Drive when You take Vistaril. It mellows You Out. Thank You."


"Allergic reaction where the patch was. Red, blistering and itching. Usually by the 3rd day."


"Invokana was a disaster for me!  First on Invokamet, also bad!  Had GI problems with Invokamet.  Dr, switched me to Invokana.  Worse GI problems.  Developed anal fissures from the diarrhea and constipation.  Now have yeast infection.  Back on Metformin and exercise.  Numbers are better!"


"This is my 5th injection of Victoza I have had no side effects of the medicine and my blood sugar readings have dropped from on average 250-360 down to 150. I am feeling fine so far and I up my amount to 1.2 in two more days."


"After several months of no problems I have a UTI.  Not sure if it related to the drug or not.

While on this drug I have gone from a 229 cholesterol to 159.

Not sure the ends justify the means but since I can't take the regular drugs for high cholesterol"


"I took Zoloft for anxiety and panic attacks. It worked the first day! Only downside of this is I felt tired and zombie like. But it definitely helps."


"My experience with Dilaudid is Amazing,  I have Severe Chronic Pain due to an Autonomic Dysfunction called Dysautonomia, I have tried MANY MANY other pain meds. even had nerve blocks & injections but nothing worked. I would recommend Dilaudid to Anyone experiencing severe pain because it works 100% (at least for me it did but then again everyone is different)"


"I was given Reglan intravenously for nausea while in the emergency room. Almost immediately I began have these overwhelming urges to rip the IV out of my arm and run away as fast as possible, it felt like a shock wave was passing through every muscle in my body. The nurse said it was "restlessness" and it wasn't uncommon. Every few seconds the sensation would return, and all I could do was wiggle around in the bed and cry, I felt so helpless. It took an hour for the feelings could go away. "


"I am 63 years old having 3 stents in heart also diabetes 2 and high pressure. Had a problem of erectile dysfunction for the last 2 years tested Edex, Viagra, improvement was very slight off and on. Recently advised my doctor he advised I take 20mg Cialis. The result was outstanding. My wife was so pleased and could not believe it. "


"Started on 15 mg which I highly recommend, first 3 day I sleep 10-11 hours and felt a little vacant in the mornings but not a zombie, appetite does increase especially sugary food, weight control is good as I do exercise regularly which is great for the natural serotonin kick to the brain. Two weeks in and the vacant feeling has gone but I do seem to have lots of dreams which isn't bad, I do recommend you stay away from alcohol though as you will feel completely monged if you mix these, but I highly recommend this medication."


"I have been on the pill for 12 days. It's my first time on any type of birth control pill. I am 28 years old. I have been spotting now for about 3 days. I am not sure if I should think of it as a light period that has been shifted because of the pill or not. I'll wait and see I guess, but I am not supposed to start for another 2 weeks.  Also, the first few days, I had a mild fever. My Doctor said it was okay, and it went away shortly. I did have some breakouts on my face and they have cleared by now. Some mood swings and definitely feels like I am PMSing all over again.  It's still probably early so I'll put up another update in a month or so."


"I was put on this pill to help treat high  testosterone, I have PCOS. It should be noted I have uterine fibroids as well. I'm in the 2nd week of the pack. This is also the 2nd time in my life I've been prescribed this pill. And now both times it has caused extremely heavy bleeding, clotting & my uterus is contracting. This is not a normal "heavy period" bleeding. I've been to the ER for this, it's not something to dismiss. If you're having really heavy breakthrough bleeding &/or extreme mood swings please don't wait, call your doctor asap. This pill is just not made for some of us ladies!"


"Let me start by saying every bodies experiences are different, but after reading all the reviews I seriously expected the worse.  I am now on day 7, first day was ok, 2nd day slight headaches, 3rd day when I went to bed I had a stomach spasm, once I went to the bathroom I was fine, Yes you have headaches but I take advil for them, slightly constipated and the stool is dark, urine was dark, but the worse of it all for me was the nasty taste in my mouth, no vomiting, no diarrhea, just make sure you eat with your meals and take a probiotic, I take Accuflora, I read some people say don't eat yogurt, I did and I was just fine, 3 more days to go, lets all pray this works, Oh and I missed just one day of work."


"My doctor prescribed this Birth Control to me to help resolve the intense cramping and heavy bleeding I have on my period. I have been taking the pill for two days and I can already tell that this will be struggle. I have already started vomiting, getting headaches and nausea and like I said, it's only been a couple of days. Hoping that my experience gets better."


"I have been taking Zoloft 100mg for 8 yrs now since my first experience of postpartum depression after my 2nd child, (I have always had panic attacks and depression it runs in my family, it has been working great until I had my 3rd child I had another bout of post partum depression. Dr tried to up my dose done this for one week made me have major side effects hot flashes, mood changes, zombie feeling so I went back down to my 100mg, I finally pulled out of it for awhile but I had a close friend pass away back in Dec 2013 and I already had health anxiety and I have had fears of dying since I had my 3rd child. I don't want to leave my children alone, the last 2 months have been the worst and I'm still taking Zoloft 100mg."


"Lexapro was the first medication for what was first diagnosed as adjustment disorder and later major depressive disorder. Lexapro (escatalopram) had me relaxed within a couple of days. I was so chilled. Any more relaxed and you'd think I was asleep. I have a highly stressed involved workplace where I lead teams of people and I was able to get my patience, communicative persona, positive outlook and collaborative nature back on track. My home life improved immensely. I was able to regain my perspective on the importance of issues meaning I could let small things go. The most important thing is I felt better in myself. I was so happy until two years down the track. Unfortunately it stopped working."


"I had possible Strep throat. First day I took it my fever rose to over 102. I was shaking, chills, rash.  My blood pressure (and I have high blood pressure) was 100/55 and my pulse was 50, I was not feeling well at all. I called doctor next morning and he switched me to Amoxicillin. I hope it works better.  Now I have a under the skin rash all over and am itching.  Guess I am allergic to this one."


"I know this is about nitrofurantoin but I wanted to talk about the other drug I took before.
Last week I noticed I had a UTI so I called my GP for an appointment they tested a sample and said there was some sort of urine infection so they prescribed me Trimethoprim (which I had taken previously before, 3 day course) this time the drug did not work at all if anything it made me worse, this also included vomiting so I called the GP very early this morning and was seen within 2 hours. I told them my symptoms and what had happened so I sent off a sample and they prescribed me nitrofurantoin 50mg capsules for 7 days, I've taken 2 doeses today (I have 4 pills a day) and I can honestly say it has already started to work."


"This medication has always worked great for me whenever I have an ear infection...much better than the regular Amoxicillin too. However, be sure to follow your doctor's orders by taking this medicine with food while getting enough probiotics as it will give you stomach problems along with diarrhea if you don't comply."


"I have been taking Linzess for Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation for about 9 months.  It has been very helpful.  I take one 290 mg tablet every day a half hour before dinner and have a comfortable bowel movement first thing the following morning.  I have never been this regular before.  It is such a relief to know that I will not spend the day with cramps, bloating and gas. The only issue is that my stomach is very noisy and bubbly during the night but I find that oddly comforting because it means the Linzess is working!"


"I'm just going to start by saying that I was one of those people who promised that I would do review if this worked. Fortunately for me, it did. Me and this chick I was seeing decided to hook up one day (May 9th) and we had unprotected sex (DUMB), I can honestly say that I didn't finish inside of her but I know there is ALWAYS a possibility of pregnancy with unprotected sex. So I went to the pharmacy store (May 10th) the next morning and got her plan B within 20 hrs. After 8 dreaded long days of waiting she finally had her period (May 17th). Guys, use protection. It only takes a second to put on a condom, it takes a lifetime to raise a child. All I can say is relax and let the pill do what it's supposed to, and hope for the best."


"My teenaged son is congested from February through June. We live in the part of Texas where you can actually watch the cedar pollen pods explode (literally). I was so excited to hear all the promises of Dymista, but every squirt caused him to have crazy sneezing fits - like 15-20 in a row! We kept trying for 3 days, but he was miserable with the sneezing. Haven't seen any other reviews mention this, so I guess we are just special : /"


"I've been given Zofran pre op and post op for all ten surgeries, including my hysterectomy since I always have nausea and vomiting before/after surgery. I've even got Zofran during ER visits for migraines, gallstones, and ovarian cyst ruptures. This is my go to antimetic and I even have the ODT   in my nightstand in case I ever get too nauseous. Amazing drug!"


"I've had the mirena IUD in for 5 years now, so it's time to get it removed. I have LOVED using this form of birth control......once it's in, you're set for 5 years. I've had virtually no periods the whole time, except for an occasional light day. I would totally get another one if I wasn't contemplating having kids. I highly recommend this birth control method."


"I was skeptical about taking his medicine, I did not sleep any last night because I was reading all of the reviews. I have tried everything under the sun nothing worked, the doctor prescribed me 15 milligrams I took 20 milligrams did not sleep at all. Thank God my insurance paid for all of it but $3. The worst $3 I have ever spent in my life! NOJOKE!!"


"Tamsulosin very quickly improved flow of urine, and meant my night wasn't constantly interrrupted. Great! But it has reduced libido and intensity of sexual pleasure. Above all, it has left me feeling very tired - even though I take it in the early evening."


"I don't have the typical insomnia. I can fall asleep (very easily, so easily I've almost considered myself to be slightly narcoleptic). But I can't stay asleep, and I don't fall into that deep sleep that you're supposed to. I wake up several times a night and even though I can fall right back to sleep, if you're not getting "restful sleep" then you're going to be tired. Ambien knocks me out! I take 10 mg. I am a 230lb female so I need the 10mg to sleep for 7 to 8 hours. Sometimes if I am just exhausted I can break it in half and sleep fine. But 10mg is perfect for me. But I am co-dependent on it now. I don't mind it so much. It's nice to know I will be rested after going to bed at 10pm and waking up at 6am."


"Started Brilinta Nov 6 2016 after a heart attack and Stent. Three days later I had a major anxiety attack because I could not breathe. The shortness of breath got better after one month. I am constantly tired and frequently napping. The worst side effect has been 4 months of constant gout. I am now at the maximum dose of allopurinol to control my gout.
I cannot wait to change over to Plavix  even though it will mean frequent blood testing."


"Had a condom mishap with a guy I was dating. I'm on birth control but had missed a pill that week and was worried that I wasn't protected. Took the pill 16 hours after the incident. Had no side effects for a few days, but was extremely anxious as I waited for my period which was two weeks away. After 3 days I did have some abdominal cramping that felt like bad period cramps. That went away around day 6 at which point my skin broke out with acne. I continued taking my seasonique birth control during this time. Finally, 16 days after the incident my period started. I took several pregnancy tests to make sure that I was not. Not sure how helpful the pill was in the long run, but it was a good lesson to really be diligent with your bc pills."


"I take 0.125 twice a day (yes, 0.125mg). I know that sounds like a low dose, but it works wonders for me.  I still have some days where I feel a bit anxious and panicky, but all in all those days are getting less and less.  I think if I went up a little on my dose it would probably cure it 100%, but I am currently also trying to learn some cognitive behavior methods, and with that you need to feel some of the anxiety to overcome it.  I really think it has given me my life back.  It does make me a little tired, but that side effect is even going away with continued use.  I am out driving, and doing things I never thought I could ever do again, and I am doing them all by myself.  Life saver!"


"I started taking this medication 4 days ago, I was given a prescription for 1 30mg tablet to be taken at night. I am sensitive to medication so the first night I only took 1/2 of a tablet (15mg), I couldn't sleep at all. I was up all night. Finally slept about 2 hours early in the morning. On the flip side, I felt GREAT all day. So that night I took the same dosage. Slept well, and no grogginess. The next day, I took the whole tablet (30mg), and slept from 10pm until 8pm the next day!!! I could NOT get up. My husband was worried so he finally got me up and into the shower. I was okay after that. I took 1/2 tablet (15mg) and went back to bed that night around 2am. Felt fine in the morning. Proper dosage is the key with this medication!"


"Taking for chronic regional pain syndrome."


"The first 3 months on Viibryd was great, was on 20 mg. Had a lot of energy and felt like my old self again, then I took a turn downward. So they up the medicine to 40 mg and I had the worst side effects possible. Heart pounding and palpitations, panic attacks, bad diarrhea, sleep deprived, crying, shaking, loss of appetite, bad nightmares, so they took me down to 20mg but added Buspar. I have been on other antidepressants and never ever had such bad side effects... I still have diarrhea and nervousness. "


"Works well for joint pain but not much for the entire Fibromyalgia package of muscle pain, weakness and stiffness."


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


"Please, please, please put this product back on the market. I've been using Privine for over 35 years and there is no other product on the market like it. It clears up my stuffy nose in minutes and lasts all night. There are no side effects and it's very gentle on the nose tissue. I don't know what I'm going to do without it."

"I was on Aviane for six months and in that 6 months, my head has become itchy, flaky, red and inflamed. "


"11/5/2017 Taking Victoza again, tried it a year ago and noticed it really helped with belly fat, lost a lot of hair though!
Ended up quitting and getting hair extensions until my hair grew back. Back on victoza 0.6, already seeing a difference on the scale and around my tummy, 5 pounds in one week...and also saw more hair on my hair brush...have heard that lysine and collagen are good supplements to avoid hair loss? so am going to add those in because the weight loss is real. I never lose more than 2 pounds in a month and I work hard to eat below 1500 calories a day and low carb and walk. So a 5 pound weight loss in one week is stunning for me.
Will probably take for 3 months and then hopefully will reach goal and stop taking"


"Still new to the drug but at least I don't get flu symptoms after dosing."


"This stuff is like a wonder pill! My acne is clearing up, my boobs look fuller, didn't change my sex drive, my moods are the same and it fully protects me from having a baby. I couldn't be happier with this because I have tried lots of brands and wasn't on birthcontrol for about four years because I didn't want to go through the same process of hating the form of birth control I was using but my Dr knew exactly what to give me. Be honest with your Dr and always do your research:)"


"I have been addicted to opiates  since August 2013.  I began taking oxy 30's a few times a week because I felt it helped me with depression. I recently had split up with my wife at the time. I was 33 years old and never had taken illegal drugs except for marijuana a few times. Within a year I was injecting heroin up to six times a day. Drugs had  completely destroyed my life. A friend that I work with attended a methadone clinic daily and suggested   for me to try it.  I started going to the methadone clinic the last week of January.  I have not used since I began treatment. My quality of life has drastically improved.  Methadone treatment works Pay no attention to the haters."


"I've suffered from insomnia since college and would struggle some nights to get 2 hours of sleep.  I would get tired, but as soon as I lay down to sleep, I would stare at the ceiling for hours unable to fall asleep and when I did I would not stay asleep.  My doctor prescribed me Ambien to try and help with my insomnia.  In my particular case, Ambien has worked very well.  I'll take it and within 30-40 minutes it will put me to sleep.  There are still occasional nights where I'll take Ambien and still not be able to sleep, but most of the time it works very well."


"Was given ativan at first of several ER visits for panic attacks and later on shooting pains in my legs. I had recent surgery, felt something wasn't right. Told my doctors, tests showed nothing so ignored like most women and put on antidepressants. Soon after, panic attacks started. Ativan helped but did not address the cause. 2 months later finally diagnosed with B12 deficiency caused by pernicious anemia. By then had severe nerve damage. To this day I cannot walk and am extremely intolerant to heat and cold. At times my nerves act up and I take 0.5 mg ativan or less to get me through it or help me sleep. Doctor won't prescribe much so judicious when I take it. Gabapentin eases pain but Ativan is ONLY med that calms my nerves."


"Not bad, but the weight gain and how tired it made me, eventually led me to go off of it."


"Went nearly mad on this antidepressant, clenched my teeth, constant sweats. Terrible and always tired on it. Doctor just kept upping the dosage. Was on 120mg when I complained, changed doctor and am now coming off Cymbalta. Now have dreadful dizziness and brain zaps but anything is better than what I was going through. "


"I have been using Singulair for an extended time. It seems to help with asthma, but I'm wondering if I developed side effects and just didn't realize. If I'm barely bumped I get bad bruises; I have sinus infections very frequently and lately I have a low grade fever often with no apparent cause. "


"I am type 1 diabetic and have been having symptoms of gastroparesis. Zofran coupled with erythromycin has been the only thing to give me relief. After being sick/vomiting for the past 5 weeks on and off, it is nice to be back to some sort of normality."


"I started trazodone 5 years ago during an acute episode of depression.  I take Cymbalta as a maintenance against depression.  Trazodone at 50 mg is very effective for me - it takes about 45 minutes to kick in.  I get 7-8 hrs of sleep and do not feel groggy the next day.  I can also split the 50 mg tablet and take 25 mg and get decent sleep - not as deep but still restful.   I take trazodone every night and have not experienced any side effects in over 5 years."


"I have never felt compelled to share my experiences about medications with others, but recently my mother shows me all of the horrible reviews that antidepressants are being given.  I want others to know that there are in fact real people who benefit from antidepressants.
I have been on Wellbutrin at 300 MG since March 2013, and while I did lose around 15 pounds (I was dieting at the time but the Wellbutrin also could have contributed to it) I have experienced little to no side effects at all, and I have found that I no longer experience crying spells or urges to hurt myself.  The only warning I have is that it really does lower your tolerance to alcohol, so be mindful if you choose to drink."


"The first dose gave me muscle pain and weakness that left me in bed trying not to move in an attempt to minimize the pain. For two days every breath I took was accompanied by significant pain. Because even though I was laying as still as possible, I still needed to breathe
I was assured that the pain is milder the second time around. They were right, the pain did not outweigh my will to move. Which was fortunate because I had nausea and vomiting the next day. My doctor was able to prescribe anti nausea meds, which helped significantly. I suggest anyone who takes this have someone who can help them out the next few days. Just in case."


"I took Arava for about 8 months. It gave me a new lease on life to the point I was having no symptoms, pain or stiffness. I had to stop the medication because of Valley Fever. I want to get the message out to anyone living in a high risk state for "Valley Fever" be very aware and see your provider if you have any symptoms. I only had a persistent cough. Had chest X-ray done and was found to have a very large lung nodule that ended up being "valley fever" abscess."


"PROS- no weight gain, possible sleep aid qualities

CONS-withdrawal (no, it's not like coming off of heroin, I can promise you, but it did cause a rapidly increasing depression)

BONUS-There's a coupon on Pristiq's website to get it for $15"


"Does NOT work.  Tried it several times.  Don't waste your money."


"I had been on the patch for about 4 months, when I started them everything was really good and then about 3 months into it everything started going wrong I'm 18 I constantly kept getting urine infection or thrush and I couldn't understand why I never had them before and then the worst came my legs went blue!!! There was a clear line around my waist and from there down my legs were blue and black freezing cold I couldn't feel them.. I bleed so heavy and was in agony got rushed to hospital and they told me that it was a side affect to my birth control spent 2 days in hospital recovering don't recommend them at all"


"I usually don't write reviews for stuff like this, but I took this today for the first time (40mg tablet)- Over the past several months I have been really struggling to get through work meetings, presentations and general social events. Even driving has been a struggle as I get irritable very easily lately, especially in peak hour traffic. I break out into a sweat and get really hot, I bounce my legs and become fidgety, my chest tightens, heart races and I cannot think properly. I start to stress out because I cannot control the physical symptoms and it just makes it worse. It has been absolutely exhausting. Today I felt normal for the first time in awhile, while driving and facilitating groups, meeting new people. Everything was fine :)"


"I started Seasonique 7 days ago and have experienced nausea, dizziness, anxiety and an overall sick feeling.  I am now going to try Lo-Seasonique to see if that is any better."


"The insertion was the worst part. When I got Liletta inserted it was very very painful & it didn't stick inside my uterus the first or second time. By that point I was shaky and moaning in pain but the 3rd time was a charm and it stayed, thank goodness. It feels like a big pinch. I had bad cramps the first two days after and had to stay at home with a heating pad.

Other than my insertion horror story, I LOVE IT so far. I haven't had a period and I feel fine. I barely know it's there & my boyfriend can't feel out during sex either. It's great and I highly recommend it :)"


"I have severe morning sickness and suffered through it my first son.. this medicine has let me enjoy my second pregnancy. It's amazing"


"Update from 12/16/15.  I've been on Contrave for 8 weeks and have lost 18.2lbs. I really can't say enough about this drug. I have no desire to binge eat. My cravings are greatly suppressed. I used to be a social smoker and drinker. Haven't had a cigarette or a drink in at least 3 weeks. I feel like a completely different person. Other than a little nausea and some constipation, I haven't had any more side effects. I can't wait to see what the next 8 weeks brings!"


"I got my Nexplanon implanted on Feb. 28, 2013. So far, I love it. I got it inserted on the second day of my period and once I got it implanted my period stopped 2 days after. There was no pain during insertion and I only felt the numbing. About two weeks later I started bleeding for about 2 weeks and after that, no period, until last week. I had a period that lasted a week but is gone now. I personally love my Nexplanon."


"synthroid did not work well feel much better now on Armour Thyroid"


"I have used everything on the market, even changing my diet, more water, and fiber and I was still struggling. I saw Miralax at first I thought, na, just more bad tasting powder. I decided to buy it what could I lose. I am amazed. I feel so much better, an no nasty taste. I put it in my coffee, orange juice, even soda. So easy to use. Thank you for making it over the counter now."


"I love it. This is my first time using birth control and it does its job. My boyfriend and I had an unplanned pregnancy after I lost it I decided birth control was a good option. I'm 25 and I still get my cycle and I gained a little weight not too much."


"I'm 25 and have never had children.  A good friend recommended this to me and she had no pain.  I had a tremendous amount of pain - generally speaking I'm "tough" too.  Pinching and pressure for what seemed like an eternity when it was being inserted.  Granted, I didn't have any numbing or pain killers before. When the doctor was done I had to lay there for at least 10 min before I could get up.  Broke a cold sweat, got really dizzy, and really, really had to make a run for a bowel movement while still sweating and dizzy.  Very unpleasant.  I really thought I was going to die for about 20 min after insertion.  Then, I drove home and relaxed and slept well.  So far, so good.  Slight cramping, but that's to be expected.  I only got it yesterday!"


"I had injections Jan 2015 in knee where I previously tore the cartilige and had it debrided.  Degeneration is bad but I'm too young for knee replacement and really don't want it.

I had several steriod shots prior and they worked but very limited time.  It did take some time for the Euflexxa to "kick in".  I think it was about a month before I kind of stopped noticing my knee.  It's now Oct 2016 and I'm just now noticing my knee again because I have degenerative problems in all my joints and now it's the spine.  The physical therapy is putting a strain on my knees (leg press, quad stretches) so now it's owie again.  Until now I've been able to cycle daily about 10 miles without too much problem unless we are talking steep hill."


"Just started it
 Was using colace and prune juice. Worked better for me. Have not gone to the bathroom in two days. Will call my doctor and let him know. Feels like I have to go but can't. What a pain."


"Hello, I am a 18 year old teenager. Yes, I know acne loves to pop up during the teenage age but I've had for more than 5 years. It was really hard for me to be confident when my face is covered in pimples. The only clear spot I have is my temples. After my doctor suggested Clindacin, I was shocked. It burned right when you applied it but that's only because your pores were open. I've been using this for about a week and I've seen major results. My acne has shrunk and some even disappeared! believe me or not but my confidence grows a step higher every time I see one pimple disappear. I still don't have a clear spotless face yet but that's because it's a month long process. I'm only one week into the treatment. I hope this helped! :)"


"I had what was found to be an upper back inflammation, with a great deal of pain.  It was first thought that I was having a heart attack or an embolism.  As morphine-related medicines make me sick (nausea and headache), they gave me Toradol injections while I was in the hospital (for 24 hours) and it knocked the pain better than anything I had taken up to that point. I still had a little pain but it was tolerable, and this medicine didn't make me sick.  I would recommend it especially for those who can't take narcotic pain relievers.  Don't know about the oral dose as I didn't get that, just injections through an IV."


"Taking it for 3 1/2 years , pre-op, post-op, mild side effects, pain under control to some degree 50-60%."


"Hi there all, I been reading a lot of reviews.. A lot lot, so finally I decided I should also write a review.  I am 28, no kids yet. When I started dating, I decided to start birth control and I chose implanon, it was a worst decision.. Spotting for almost everyday, very bad mood changes.. Always hungry. So after we got married I decided to move to some other birth control and My dr suggested me mirena, and I got inserted few months back, there is hormone in it, but it's locally at the utress. Insertion was uncomfortable, I would suggest everyone to have some pain medicine before. I had normal cramps for few days, no bleeding. Since then my cramps came

Down and now I don't even feel that I have iud there. I am more active, and it's the best"


"I just started a few weeks ago and it has helped stabilize my mood, give me energy. Not noticing any major side effects.  I've had some headaches, some light nausea and some crazy dreams. But I've always had crazy dreams. Other medications gave me much worse side effects. Effexor seems to be working for me. My daughter says that I'm "funny" again.  I love that!"


"Amerge is the only thing I have found that works for my migraines. I have had migraines daily for over 3 years and eventually everything has quit working for me except the Amerge so I would recommend it to anyone. This drug has truly saved my life."


"I had the Gardasil when I was 14 I had zero side effects besides a sore arm. I have no complaints, Its done it job!"


"Clarifoam EF is a wonderful product.  I have Rosacea and seb/derm and this has been the only thing that doesn't sting or burn.  And it actually works.  My dermatologist told me to leave it on, and I use it with Halog and Hylatopic Plus foam moisturizer.  For cleaning, he recommended CeraVe Hydrating cleanser.  It's even more gentle than Cetaphil."


"Do not like the side effects - red eye and eye lids, sulfate taste."


"I am a 30 year old female who has suffered from depression and anxiety my entire life and it got worse after I had my daughter.  Two years after she was born, I couldnt take it anymore and I had to get help.  I talked to my doctor and was put on Lexapro, 10 mg.  I hated it at first.  I was dizzy and "swimmy" feeling, couldnt sleep, couldnt eat, felt out of it, couldn't care less about things that were going on.  This only lasted about a week!  Then, I could gradually feel myself getting used to it.  My next appt, my dosage was upped to 20 mg (he started me on 10 because he wanted to ease me into it knowing I was a mom and worked full time; i still needed to function).  Let me just say that Lexapro SAVED MY LIFE!!  I love it and swear by it!"


"I just had the Mirena inserted and although there were about two 30second moments of intense cramping it wasn't that painful at all.  I think there are a lot of misleading experiences on the Web.  Just remember that those who have had a very bad experience with a product are more likely to report it. Experiences are different for everyone. There will be a feeling of having pms cramps for awhile afterwards, so a heating pad + Aleve has been my best friends, and it is really manageable. Plus it is good for 5 years! I am very pleased with this.  I had to change because I developed a deep vein thrombosis on a long flight and was no longer allowed to take estrogen. I liked the pill too though, except for that experience."


"It gave me my life back.  I once again live life"


"This medicine is amazing. I have been successfully sober, happily."


"I've been taking Adipex for 13 months.  I've lost 50 -55 lbs.  I saw the biggest loss in the first few months 10-13 lbs.  The next several months I lost 4-8 lbs a month.  The past couple of months I have remained at the same weight.  During the past year I have been eating sensibly, but not dieted.  I have not exercised either.  Now that my weight loss has tapered off and I am not to my ideal weight, I intend to start a regular exercise program and hope to shed more lbs.  I've not had any side effects and will continue taking it till I reach my goal.  I was 269lbs and am now 217lbs.  Was a size 20 -22 and now a 16.   I want to lose another 50 lbs."


"I started takin Zoloft when I was 16 or 17. It was the 2nd antidepressant I tried and I loved it! The side effects were less servere than any other med I've tried today, the only downside was that after awhile I noticed it stopped working and I was increasing my dosage more frequently. I started on 25mg and worked up to 200-250mg."


"I've been on Ortho- Tri Cyclen Lo for a little over a year now. I had a positive experience with it when I was a teen so I wanted to try this again. At first I loved it. Now I have acne, which I've NEVER had a big problem with, crazy mood swings, and a low libido (not to mention vaginal dryness...) Hoping maybe a few more months will get me over this bad spell. I would love to continue taking it because this birth control has never let me down."


"I was prescribed NeutraSal by my Rheumatologist.  I am able to get through the day without having a dry mouth which made it hard for me to enjoy eating."


"I'm 14 years old and have been struggling with acne for about 4 years now. I've tried everything for it but nothing worked, not even Proactive. About a week ago my doctor prescribed EpiDuo Gel and its amazing! It has dramatically cleared my face up to the point where people have actually asked what I use that is so effective. (And I thought that only happened in the cheesey commercials). I only use it at night because it dries my skin out really badly. I apply lots of moisturizer on top of it once it has dried completely. I recommend this product to anyone struggling with acne!"


"WARNING TO ALL! If you have sensitive skin this is not for you! I informed my doctor over and over again while at the office that my skin is sensitive and to prescribe something safe for me and this is what I got. I got peeling, burning, redness, itching, painful skin as a result and have had 2 months of my skin like this! I thought acne was bad but I feel so ugly with such tomato red peeling skin. A coworker asked if I went on vacation because she thought I got a sunburn. My face looks like its shedding skin and my skin feels paper thin and overall I'm angry and sad that my skin sucks right now. It decreased some whiteheads on my forehead but I still have pimples. Going to the derm this Friday and asking to get off this awful product!"


"This has worked great for my lower back pain."


"I have had insomnia since a hysterectomy in 2009, so began taking benadryl but that had the opposite effect on me & I became very jittery w/ "restless leg syndrome", so tried Unisom 25mg nightly.  I have been taking Unisom now for 6 years and it has worked pretty well to help me sleep at night.  However, 2 months ago I developed a fast & irregular heart rhythm.  I am a nurse, so listened to my heart and could hear the missed beats when I felt them.  It felt like I had just ran up a flight of stairs but I wasn't out of breath.  My heart was just beating very rapidly and irregular.  Couldn't figure out why I was having palpitations so quit taking & saw Dr. Diminished palpitations since I quit taking & all my heart tests and labs are normal."


"DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!  My 15 year old son is light-skinned, blonde and blue eyed and tends to flush(German descent).  This bothered him, so we spoke to his dermatologist and she prescribed Mirvaso.  He was so excited to try it and applied it thinly over his face.  Within 20 minutes his skin was deathly pale with mottling at the edges and around his eyes.  He looked terrible.  Within 10 hours, his face started turning an angry red as if he had been slapped repeatedly.  He then started feeling faint.  I took him to the med clinic and the doctor there prescribed steroids to reduce inflammation and Benadryl.  We are still waiting anxiously for his handsome face to return to normal.  This is after ONE use."


"I've been taking this medication for a year now and was hoping I'd get used to it but no luck.  It did initially help with the wicked menstrual cramps I'd get on day 2 (vomiting from pain) but I can't take enough of it due to the side effects.  I can only take it on the weekend, then it ruins my whole weekend.  I feel tired, dizzy, can't think clearly, clumsy, and kinda drunk. It also stays in my system a really long time, 24-36 hour half life so I'm drunk and dizzy for that long.  Bummer because it doesn't make me feel nauseous at all, like the pill does.  Still, I may try the birth control pill instead.  Can't really function on this and not sure I should be driving, much less working on it."


"Male age 47 adhd sufferer.... Been taking concerta xl 36mg for the past 12 years now.. To start with, I didn't understand how the drug would help me.. But now Looking back it has proved to be a fantastic drug that has tweaked the way I live my life.. But I say this with caution, as its not perfect and it caused me a lot of other problems.. Like someone has said on here before it doesn't turn you into a fully focus person. Sorry. Well it hasn't for me but it has helped me over time to stop beating myself up on that bloody roundabout in my mind, and gain a little bit of confidence..Balance of mind ultimately came when I was prescribed antidepressants.. So I use concerta at 4am and antidepressants at 8pm.."


"I'm 17, been on the patch for over a year & I recommend. If Ortho Evra patch is too expensive/big try generic Xulane. Same method, no difference in effectiveness/side effects just smaller & doesn't leave as much fabric around glue lining as Ortho Evra. Experienced nausea, breast tenderness around time of period, & cramps that decreased greatly now that I'm used to it. No weight gain, doesn't fall off through shower/exercise, & if you forget to put a new patch on your patch change day you are still protected for I believe 3 days, after that use back up & start new patch change day on the day you remembered to put it on. Been with partner over 1 yr, 0 scares. Had slight temper before patch so only mood change was more emotional/sensitive lol."


"I felt compelled  to get on a write a review because Most of the reviews sound so bad that I almost didn't get it but I am so happy I did. Yes, insertion does hurt. I had mine put in while I wasn't on my cycle which supposedly makes it worse, and no lie, it did suck. But it's less then 5 mins and that's nothing when comparing the security of contraception. I was crampy for about 1 week while thing settled, but I took 1 alieve and the pain subsided. I also had spotting during that week but then it went away. Now I don't feel it at all, and my partner doesn't either. Before my IUD my periods were approx 4-5 days with only using maybe 2-3 Tampons a day, now they are slightly heavier, 3-4 a day for about 6-7 days. I've had it for 4 mo. And I love it!"


"Okay, so I've only had Liletta for 5 days now but let me tell you it is like it's not even there. I feel like a lot of the bad comments are due  to the gyno that they choose to go to. Do your research first, call the office and ask if they have experience putting IUDs in, what you should know beforehand, and how long the doctor that will be doing the procedure on you has been doing it.
During the procedure, it HURT like a lot, and it kept hurting. But me not having kids and not being on my period didn't really help. After, I took some Tylenol 3, put on a pad, and drove home. That day, I had mild cramping and spotting. The day after was like nothing happened. 5 days later and I don't even remember that it's there."


"First time depot user and it has been one of the worst mistakes of my life. Its day 35 post the shot and I have bleed everyday with HORRIBLE cramps. I have experienced weakness, dizziness, headaches, depression and am always tired.

I can not wait until this is out of my system."


"I was prescribed this for pain on the side of my back. I hate muscle relaxers since I don't like being drowsy. This doesn't make me sleepy AT ALL."


"I am presently taking Ziac (beta blocker with dyazide) for High Blood Pressure. Was going to try this but decided after reading reviews to stick to what I am on and try to lose weight. They all have side effects - I have gone through 10 drugs- been on this 10 years. Good luck to all."


"Does a fine job lowering my blood pressure and I feel much better.  The cough is irksome. Having a cough drop in the far back of my mouth tends to relieve it, and thank goodness you can find sugar free ones now.  Still, considering bladder control problems and the way the cough disrupts my sleep, I'll probably switch to another medicine."


"I enjoy the convenience of the ring but ever since I put the ring in about 4 days ago I have had a constant headache, extremely emotional, and very fatigued. I am going to give it a little longer because like I said its very convenient and I don't feel it at all."


"I am a 25 yr old female with ADHD And bipolar disorder. My doctor started me on Strattera a little over a month ago and it works great. I was having a hard time constraining in class (I'm a college student) and it really helps me focus. The only down side is the occasional nausea but I found if I take it on an empty stomach the nausea isn't so bad. I would suggest this medicine."


"Just took it at its smallest available dose this past week. I was replacing my Zoloft because I felt that my depression is more of a reaction to my anxiety, so my doc put me on this which is known to treat both, unlike Zoloft which only treats depression. I have yet to experience any bad side effects like many do in the beginning, and if anything it actually treated the side effects of getting off Zoloft, like nerve tingliness. It gives me an overall sense of calm, and unlike other anxiety meds, it doesn't sacrifice by concentration and memory which is very important since I'm a full time student. It calmed my anxiety and allowed me to sleep, which in result, I don't feel depression. A+ on this medication so far."


"I have suffered from hyperhidrosis since puberty, and I would never raise my hand in class to ask questions. It caused me severe anxiety, and probably hurt my education. Two weeks ago I started using Drysol. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. I can now work an 8 hour shift in the light gray uniform shirt and be completely dry. My quality of life and confidence have skyrocketed. The only reason I'm not rating it a 10 is because of the itching. When applied,  drysol causes me pretty severe itching in my underarms. I have been able to ignore it for the most part in public,  but only with extreme discipline. If it didn't cause so much itching,  this would be a miracle product."


"Severe leg cramps in both calves- tingling in both feet"


"I have been on Aviane for a month now. I switched from Yaz because I felt like Yaz was making me very emotional. I was off the pill for a month and then started taking Aviane, the first two weeks I was super emotional and I broke out pretty bad and I hardly ever break out. However, my skin is clearing up and my emotional state is much better than before. I think it just takes a body a little while to get used to this pill. I did not gain any weight which is nice."


"I'm 32 years old and I first got outbreaks when I was about 13 or so. I would get them maybe once every year or so on my lip.  They started getting more frequent, and I ended up getting outbreaks around my nostril too. Over the last few years they got very frequent, about every other month. I've tried lysine ointments, home remedies, nutritional supplements, Abreeva, but none prevent outbreaks. Then in Dec 2015 I had a horrible outbreak. The size of a quarter! I had enough. I read up on treatments and my doctor prescribed the Acyclovir suppressive therapy. I only take one 400mg tablet a day. It's August and I haven't had an outbreak since Dec! It's cheap, about $8 and change. I have no side effects at all. I am so happy I found this!"


"Took severe pain away. Hand and neck arthritis. Take with 2 Tylenol or ibuprofen  every other dose for best relief. Brand name ultram 50 mg every 5-6 hrs if needed. For me, took most pain away! Better than vicodin and not sure why but so happy I have it. Cons: occasional nausea and big time constipation-take with laxative or colace. I started pill slowly- two 25mg per day over period of a week and worked up to 50 3 x per day over 3 weeks."


"I have taken this med  for 5 yrs  the problem is getting off this medicine.  It's has been 2 weeks  since my last pill.  My side effect is I feel like I am floating on a cloud.  I  can not cover my head fast enough because I get disoriented  and dizzy.  Any one have  this kind of reaction  after stopping this medicine  and if so how log did it last"


"To get rid of the bad taste I tried candy. Something sweet that dissolves slowly. That worked for me."


"I have tried everything for my anxiety and depression including Klonopin, Xanax, Ativan. I did think Ativan did work for me but never did get it permanently but Valium has been pretty good with me so far."


"It really does work. Made me feel mentally sharp again. I was previously always anxious but Effexor completely stopped my anxiety.

Unfortunately for me it came with severe sexual side effects. Loss of sex drive, unable to climax, impotence.

Male - Taking 75mg daily. Off to try Wellbutrin instead."


"Two years on it. Now having liver issues. Colon on recent colonoscopy was clear. Endoscopy showed esophageal varicies stage 1. Fiberscore Labs showed stage 4 fibrosis.  Fiberscan the same. Fatigue, general and gut pain continues. Weight is stable  but can't gain. Energy low.  May need a med break."


"This is a great medicine to keep the anxiety leveled out for a long time period. Much better than any other benzodiazepine."


"Stick with this medication. Ive never wrote a review before, but seriously I am about 6 months in and am seeing really great results. In the first three months i wanted to give up due to the clusters of huge painful spots of acne on my cheeks. But I kept using tretinoin, along with onexton, and I believe it was around month 4 that the breakouts subsided. I had moderate drying but got a good moisturizer that helped tremendously. Like many users have stated, the trick is to stick with it, and also use an antibacterial medication with it as well. At about 6 months I am thrilled to say that I do not have a single active blemish!"


"I got the birth control in May of 2015 my acne has been more horrible than ever before, and my mood swings have gotten worst than ever, I would be perfectly fine than I turn to being angry and sad. For the last 6 months I've been having heavy periods with spotting all the time and horrible cramps. I also gained weight like crazy, when I got it I was 92 lbs and now it's January 2017 I weigh 175 and it's seems impossible to lose the weight."


"I was prescribed Bactrim for Prostatitis. I took it for 3 days and only had significant side effects. I've never had a medicinal reaction in my life before this. "


"I am 227 lbs and 5'3". I started taking the Adipex 37.5 today (11-18-16) at 7:30 am. I could tell that I took it because I was very talkative, and not energetic as in bouncing off the walls or nothing, but more like I actually had the energy to do my work and I was really focused on it. Done more today at work than I done all week. Only thing I have a problem with is when I ate it felt like I slowed down, and all my energy was gone. Maybe it want be like this the whole time. I will keep ya'll updated on my progress."


"Currently diagnosed with Systemic Lupus due to a recurring skin staph infection. Infectious Disease Dr. was concerned I.V. port might also get infected so she prescribed a 14 day Zyvox regimen. This is day 7 on it to treat a case of cellulitis on lower left leg. It is very slowly getting better. I suppose this is probably due to my Lupus. I don't really have any stomach issues, have a yeast infection and trouble sleeping at night. The infected areas skin has turned dark and appears to be shriveling up and is very tight. It seems like it has affected my calf, ankle & foot muscles as they are now really stiff making it difficult to walk without assistance. The medicine is incredibly expensive as well. "


"I have been anxious, paranoid and depressed since puberty (10 years). Doctors have tried SSRIs, SNRIs, and benzos, but nothing seemed to be working. The doctor wrote a script for Remeron. I was skeptical at first, and the initial side effects scared me (slurred speech, drowsiness, blurred vision), however I kept with it and I feel so much better. It is relieving being able to live without thinking I am about to get fired, or if I am getting fat (which is ridiculous. I actually have an eating disorder and I am clinically underweight). My neurotic paranoia seems to be somewhat cornered and I no longer depend on alcohol to keep me under control. I have only been on the drug for a week at 15mg. Hopefully this journey is almost over."


"Worst drug to alter your mind and make you crazy. Severely depressed and suicidal"


"After a single bypass I was put on Atonvastatin in end of May.  My first blood test after being on the drug was total= 147,   HDL 56,  LDL 70  and tri glycerides 106.  I went on vacation and did not take the drug for 3 to 4 weeks - also not the best eating habits on vacation - but felt good. Then had my second test and went up total 220 - HDL 66 ,  LDL 133, and tri 103. Dr said to get back on the med. I only take 10mg a day but I always feel tired now that I am back on. What I don't like is my Dr says they want my LDL down to 50 ?? To put thing in perspective - my test 9 month before surgery was total 212, HDL 57 LDL 143 tri 62 - also I am 68 and had been very active."


"Since I started using Seasonique 3 weeks ago, I haven't stopped spotting.  Today my face was so bloated and I had really bad stomach cramps."


"I started on Byetta about 4 months ago.  I have lost 45 lbs and have never felt better. My blood sugar readins have gone from 275 to 135 2 hours after a meal. I take the 5, doctor tried to put me on 10 but was vomiting after meals and had to go back to five.  This drug has been a God send for me."


Hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate / sodium biphosphate

"This drug made me feel worse . It intensified my bladder spasm and gave me extreme rectum pain . My insides feel like they are being sucked in. Don't think that because it's more expensive that it's better . It's crap . Better to take nothing . And I only took one pill . Never again ."


"I have severe back pain due to an injury and the hundreds of bone marrow aspirates because of my leukemia. After many drugs (more than a dozen combinations). I find Soma to be excellent at relieving the muscle spasms, pain, and it also releaves anxiety similar to benzos and helps me sleep like no other medicine. I also take OxyContin with it and that is what keeps me stable and going throughout the day."


"Just started 2nd week... no side effects... not losing weight yet... stay tuned"

"This medicine helped my dryness greatly and I can once again enjoy great sexual relations, However, being a migraine sufferer to begin with, this medicine has really magnified my headaches and the number I get each month. I would love to continue using it for the effectiveness, but can't be nonfunctional due to the number of and severeness of my migraines."


"So my doctor prescribed me provera 10mg for 10 days & it completely stopped the bleeding thank god. 7 days later i got my peeiod with the worse cramps ever and i was bleeding really heavy with lots of bloods clots. It was so uncomfortable"


"I'm male, 54 years old and weigh about 180 LBS. The first time I tried Wellbutrin, it was 150mg twice a day. It was too much for me. Side effects: Jitters, hyperactive, constant bouncing of knee when sitting, clenching teeth, weight loss, tinnitus, insomnia, dull headache in back of head.

I decided to quit Wellbutrin but recently resumed using it. I only take 75mg in the morning (5 AM) then 75mg at 11 AM. They are the "SR" type. I will continue using this dose until my body adjusts and then I may up the dose to 150 twice a day.

For me, starting at 300mg a day was far too much. I believe starting lower, I will be able to remain on this."


"I LOVED IT. My sex life is so much better!

Thanks Viagra."


"I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 5 years and switched to Loestrin (because of insurance purposes). As soon as I switched I got horrible acne. Although Loestrin gave me lighter periods, I was crazy, moody, and overall a terrible cranky person- haha. I gave it about 6 months to see if it would get better- it didn't, so I'm spending $75 a month for Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo again. Totally worth it."


"I wish I never took this pill. I'm not a pill popping kind of person. But I had to think about my future with my boyfriend and decided just to try one pill out. This was the lowest dose so I figured it would be fine. Definitely not... I haven't been eating or motivated as much as I usually am. I'm an emotional person but this pill turned me into a monster. I have never been so sad in my entire life. I had thoughts of harming myself and was constantly causing arguments with my boyfriend who I've been with for w year and a half and we've never had these problems. It has given me horrible head aches and anxiety. I would never suggest this to anyone."


"I don't know what I would do without the drug requip.I reckon I never would sleep at all. I give it a 10"


"On day 4 of 500mg twice daily of Clarithromycin for throat and chest infection.  Throat not as painful but not completely cleared yet.  The bitter taste in the mouth is VERY unpleasant and tinges' everything I eat.  Hard to sleep as the taste is worse in the night so very tired all of the time.  Furry, yellow tongue.  Hoping today is the turning point in recovery."


"Pros:  No mood changes, felt great, did not get pregnant, very light periods.

Cons:  Definitely gained 15 pounds... was on the pill for one year where the weight came on almost immediately after starting it.  When I went off, the pounds melted away within two months and I was back to my pre-pill weight.  Very annoying, since otherwise the pill was perfect."


"I've been on accutane for about 6 days now , I didn't really have zits / pimples , mainly black heads that got irritated easily , within just 6 days of using this , my skin has gotten so much better . It was really bad around my cheek area and it cleared up right away , I'm super comfortable with my skin as of right now and I can't wait for it to be completely clear . The only real side effects I've had is dry lips , (carry Chapstick at all times,) REALLY dry skin , my skin is somewhat peeling but honestly just massage moisturizer onto your face twice a day and you'll be fine , I haven't had any back pains , etc . Definitely worth it ."
