"This is my experience with OSMOPREP:
Procedure was at 4pm Thursday so the directions state to stop eating 12 hours before starting treatment 1. I ate dinner at 5:30 Wednesday and nothing after that. Started taking only 3 pills with 8 oz of water Thursday 5:45 am . after each pill taking I took a walk to prevent bloating and nausea. It worked well plus the walking seemed to make room for more water. So after 5 glasses of water and 15 pills things were good. The treatment started working about 1 hour after the first pills and 15 minutes between. "


"Helps me sustain attention and have consistent energy levels (especially when combined with Adderall XR). I'm motivated, not elated, high or hyper on a dose of 10mg. Con: Short-lasting.
"


"A 12-day course of Cipro completely eradicated my prostatitis. If I recall correctly, symptoms (urine frequency, urine speed, weird feeling beneath testes) were completely gone about half way through the course. I am now a few months removed from that treatment, and have developed some GI problems. Currently undergoing tests, so may or may not be related to the Cipro; correlation does not = causation. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A GOOD PROBIOTIC, especially Florastor/Sacchormyces Boulardii.  I did NOT."


"Overall this was very effective with no issues to note other than those described as common side effects. I had no weight gain, no mood changes, no spotting, was regular like clock work after the initial few weeks after insertion. Granted, it isnt pleasant to have fitted but is much less uncomfortable to have removed (like removing a tampon really).  In the UK (i am English), we the cost of birth control and follow up care is free on the NHS. I had the Mirena for the full 5 years and only experienced a pre menstrual facial spot and 3 days of mild tummy bloating prior to each predictable and very light two day bleed. This is my full and honest experience."


"I found cardura a wonderful drug which made my urine flow so easily and cured the discomfort I used to feel during urination. I felt no side effects either."


"It took about 3 days for me to start feeling better but this works for me. My only issue is that I can feel it wearing off about 2 hours before my next dose (I take it twice daily), I suppose that is what the IR 's are for. But overall, it works. "


"This was the first birth control I have ever taken but I was on it for about 5 years. I had no complaints the entire time, normal period, my weight remained the same, no drastic or bad side effects. All of a sudden I got a random period 2 weeks after I had just had one. This period lasted about 2 weeks and was extremely heavy where I was bleeding through anything within 2 hours or less! I thought maybe it was because I missed a dosage but I had tests done for other things and I was completely fine but the bleeding would not stop until finally I discontinued using the pill and the bleeding stopped.  It was really weird but for the 5 years I was on this pill I really had no complaints whatsoever."


"This medicine turned me into a zombified eating machine.  I put on 30 pounds in one month.  It was also extremely sedating. "


"Unfortunately this medication had a very negative effect on me. I was supposed to take it for occasional nerve zaps that I get from having IC. When I took it, it didn't take the pain away. Instead it changed it into a CONSTANT burning pain which is way worse than the previous zaps. I stopped taking it, and although I was on a low dose 25mg a night, I got horrible withdrawal symptoms and am still dealing with panic attacks upon waking up. I know this drug has been a godsend for some people, but please be careful because it has the potential to make things way worse."


"I'm 17 and I had my Mirena inserted today. I've never had a child nor have I been pregnant. The insertion only took about 4-5 minutes. Yes, it was painful but not unbearable but that was only because I've never had anything in or out of my cervix other then being on my period. I had cramping, but because of the ibuprofen I fell asleep as soon as I got home. When I woke up all the pain was gone. The experience was uncomfortable but overall it was a fast easy process."


"I'm 42 years old and was having irregular periods, had tests and ultrasound done and discovered I had a 1mm sized cyst on each of my ovaries. Was told that cysts are normal and at my age am entering pre menopause. Just had liletta IUD inserted today, 2 hours ago to be exact. Was very painful, took 800 mg of ibuprofen, and still feel pain mostly on lower left side of back and bloating. I will post again in a few days to update my experience."


"I developed pneumonia after getting swine flu. I was on heavy duty antibiotics and was given diflucan as a prophylactic for yeast infections. I took approximately 4 doses over the course of two weeks. I recently noticed that a toe nail that had a fungus for over 40 years (!) is now growing in nice and pink! No more thick ugly yellow nail! Amazing! No other side effects were noticed!"


"I have been on Mononessa for about 18 months...I have put on 20 pounds.  I have tried to lose the weight while on the meds but I lost 10 pounds and plateaued.  I am so done.  I just turned 40 and have decided to go with a no hormone permanent solution!"


"The side effects of this medication were hard to deal with-occasional nausea, moodiness, blurry vision, and the worst side effect by far was the drowsiness. It was hard to even get out of bed a lot of days and had no motivation to do anything."


"Lately I've been feeling "off", I feel moody and sometimes want to cry for no reason.  I recently felt super nauseous, dizzy and felt like I was going to faint while driving but for no apparent reason.  I went to the doctor and everything was fine.  I went to the optometrist and everything with my eyes was fine.  I've had panic attacks, severe anxiety, a feeling of "blah", headaches and dizziness plus all around weirdness and I believe its from these pills. I was on a different birth control a while ago and I got weird symptoms from it too.  I'm going to change my pill and see if that does the trick.  Plus I've gained SO MUCH WEIGHT from this pill."


"I had the Kyleena inserted today and OMG IT HURT!!! I had the Mirena inserted 6 weeks after giving birth so it was a breeze since my uterus was still somewhat open. This experience was horribly different for me, my youngest is now 5, so my uterus is not as open. I went in expecting a simple procedure like I had in the past, but no. My doctor did not advise me to take any pain reliever before hand. It was so painful I almost past out and/or threw up. The nurse had to give me a cold cloth and fan me. After it was finally over, maybe a few mins, which felt like an hour, I felt dizzy and sick. I had to stay in the room and lie down for a bit. I have been bleeding, clotting and cramping all day. Anesthesia should be offered! I hope its worth it!"


"I have been on the depo shot since I was 15! (11 years now) I love the shot I have never had an issue, after my first couple weeks on it I never got a period again unless I missed a shot and had to wait for a period to get it again. I swear by it one of the greatest thing you don't forget to take it daily no cramps no period nothing up your private area. Until this past year, issues I have been having all added up and led to this shot. I'm 26 years old and have osteoporosis that of an 80 year old, the smaller of my breast became 2 sizes larger, my migraines increased to weekly with vision loss, itchy sore breasts, random stomach pains and nausea. Also I have not changed my eating habits or daily routine I have out on 25lbs in the past 6mon."


"I have tried many medications for panic disorder. I don't think there was not 1 tablet I have not tried when I was prescribed Xanax. I felt I was given my life back. No horrible side effects of anxiety or panic disorder whatsoever. I can now function without worrying if I went out I would have a panic attack or drop whatever I was doing and go home as I felt like I was dying. My heart would race, my breathing felt like I was taking my last breathe excessive sweating. They all went away. I take 1 mg when needed and have never abused this medication but it has been a life saver for me. It took 30 years to find a tablet that would stop my panic and anxiety disorder and then I tried Xanax from my doctor and I thank her everyday."


"Hello, I had posted on here a few months ago (scroll down to see it)  but I had my dose upped and honestly I take a total of 600mcg a day, and they DO work! The first month was spotty but now at my higher dosage I feel great, I think its a good start at least for some of you, but it can get pricy. Look out for 75%-90% off coupons for any medicine. Just remember it is for chronic long term pain and the more you take it (as prescribed please!!! It is still addicting despite its dosage) you realize it does help, it does make you want to get out bed, and honestly it takes away my chronic pelvic pain better than anything except oxycodone 30 mg, but I cannot get those. I'm proud to be the first patient in my doctors office to be on this"


"This medicine is great but it made my skin really itchy on my arms and legs."


"Since I've been on strattera I've felt tired & listless -- I can't even work up enough energy for essentials like laundry & dishes. I've been on it for 5 months. My worst side effects are nausea, fatigue, irritability, and strange dreams. It feels like I start dreaming before I even fall asleep and it's driving me crazy. In typical ADHD fashion I forgot my meds at work over the weekend & had to go without -- I woke up at 4am to the worst headache I've ever had. I have an appointment on Wednesday & will be doing my damnedest to get my doc to switch me to a different med. I think it did a little for my ADHD but I also upped my coffee intake while I was on this med."


"I started take Adipex June 2 2009. I have lost 28 lbs since then and feel so much better. I still have a long way to go but I feel motivated to do it.  The only side effects I had was headaches, and dry mouth.  But I drink tons of water to help with the dry mouth so that isn't such a bad thing.  I would recommend this to anyone who needs to lose a significant amount of weight.  You must do it right though and be sure to eat, sometimes I have to force myself to eat."


"Using in trays post-radiation, easier to fill trays with this style of tube."


"I am 67, a few years ago I was firmly diagnosed with a rare SCN9a genetic defect/sodium channelopathy/severe pain disorder as the cause of decades of chronic pain with chronic recurrent peripheral neuropathy with atrophy on nerve biopsies.  For decades my pain was mistakenly diagnosed as fibromyalgia. A few months ago I read that duloxetine may help neuropathic pain by acting as a sodium ion channel blocker and since my condition is due to excessive sodium ion release, I thought that it may help me so I started taking it.  The result was so remarkable that I feel impelled to spread the word to others with this rare disease."


"I just had Skyla placed today & it wasn't NEARLY as bad as I thought it would be. I am 24 years old, never been pregnant. Skyla seemed like the right option for me because I'm a busy student & it doesn't require remembering to take a pill every 24hrs. The whole procedure took maybe 5 minutes & was very similar to getting a pap-smear.  It was way less pain then my periods are. I usually have moderate cramping with periods, but this was just slight cramping in my lower abdomen & only lasted for about 1 1/2 minutes of the procedure. It was quick & easy. I did take 3 pills of ibuprofen an hr before going to my appointment so that probably helped a bit. It's been about 6hrs & I haven't had any spotting yet or cramping. Would definatly recommend!"


"I was nervous about the pain, and even though it's needle-free, I have a bit of a needle phobia and the idea of any injection (even without a needle) was pretty rough for me to get over.  After talking myself up for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to give myself the dose.  It hurt a lot more than I was expecting, and bled more than my neurologist and pharmacist said it would, so immediately after administering it, I was pretty apprehensive.  I felt the side effects most people have reported (weakness, dizziness, heaviness, etc.), but I also had some nausea and I was really tired.  I felt near-immediate relief of about 50% of my migraine, and then took a power nap for about 45 minutes. When I woke up, I felt like a completely new person."


"Baclofen reduces the chronic pain of trigeminal neuralgia to a great extent. For me, it mutes the pain to a tolerable level. It does not reduce my ability to think clearly, as occurred with the use of various anti-seizure medications, i.e. Trileptil, Dilantin, Neurontin, etc.  For me, it does not yet appear to have a reduced effect despite taking it over a long period of time.  The side-effects for me are relatively benign and, in some cases, interesting.  Higher doses cause drowsiness.  Lower doses include the following side effects,
- Subtle muscle relaxation
- Increased muscle tone
- Surprising endurance and lack of fatigue at high-levels of physical activity
- Absence of soreness following the aforementioned physical activity"


"I was diagnosed with MS at the age of 29 and had severe fatigue for 2 years prior. I started on 200mg which was way too strong so I cut the dose into 100mg. I find that if I take it everyday it is not as effective so I just take it when needed which ends up being about 3 times a week (I work full time in a sort of stressful environment).  It is important not to "over do it" when on Provigil.  I have to say that Provigil changed my life.  I am now able to spend time with my boyfriend in the evenings after work and also see friends past 9 PM and not get fatigued.  I do feel that when I drink on Provigil I get very emotional...so I try and stay away from drinking.  I do like how it helps me mentally focus and also have energy to exercise!"


"I have been on Phenergan pills since damage from Brain surgery years ago. It is a life saver! The pills are the only option that works for me. I take it 3-4 times every day. I could not survive without it!"


"I have Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis that affects everything in my body (organs and joints) but mainly my lower back. Spinal stenosis, bulging and degenerative discs, severe nerve damage from carpal tunnel in both hands, plus both hips and knees need surgery in the near future also. I take 80mg OxyContin 3 times daily plus Percocet 10mg 3 times daily for breakthrough pain. I have to take my pain medication first thing in the morning before I can take on my day. Have tried MS Contin and it worked fine, just did not last the 12 hours that they say it was suppose to it was more like 6 and Lortabs was like taking a placebo."


"I started Qsymia weighing in at 265 in December. First 2 weeks I lost 9lbs. The following two months I was losing 10bs a month. The next month, nothing. This month, did a lot of traveling but made an extra effort to exercise on the road. So was able to lose 4.

My eating habits really haven't changed since I already eat pretty healthy, except the occasional splurge. I have added a little more exercise. I have noticed that when I'm out to dinner, I can actually just stop eating and box up my meal instead of shoving it all in. So I have more self control.

Side effects: dry mouth, insomnia. That's it.

So far I'm down 40lbs and before I was barely fitting in a size 20 and now I can fit in a 14. I'm very happy."

"Hey, I'm 18 and having a colonoscopy tomorrow. They put me on moviprep and it's working! Started off chasing it with some ginger ale bt after the first 8oz I was gagging. I bought some MELON POWERADE and it went down easy. Just add some ice and mix the moviprep in, and it went down like a charm. I still havnt had the second "installment" at 4am bt I'm sure it'll go down just as easy as the first dose. plain it tastes retched like this lemony salty gooey water but mix it up and you'll be fine."


"I've been in and out of rehabs, AA/NA you name it. This medicine finally has taken my cravings away. If the rooms aren't working for you try Campral along with whatever else you can if you have to."


"Just started"


"Didn't notice a change when I first began, but if I missed a dose, then I noticed it. Found it to be quite effective and easy to take & become accustomed to."


"After trying other antibiotics.
This was the only one that worked.
The Doctor tried to tell me it would not work for Sinusitis.
It is the only antibiotic that takes it away for me."


"I've been on the patch for a month now. So far so good. My breasts look great I've even have a butt now which I'm happy about it. My only complaint is that the first day putting it on it itches. I have a lot of sex drive. Loving the patch so far."


"Four weeks now on this medication first 3 weeks on 1.5 then they reduced it to .75 still no different, and am NOT taking another one! The vomiting and diarrhoea is crippling me, having to take two days a week off sick, I can't do this. I've lost just under a stone in weight and I'm not that big to start with! The constance stomach cramps not wanting to be far from the loo is taking its toll! It hasn't helped my sugars at all if anything it's worse! Good luck"


"I am 86 years old. I only took 2 doses of 750 mg over 2 days & was having calf pain, nervousness & trouble sleeping."


"I've been on Belviq for 3 days and have felt nothing. I haven't felt the urge to eat less nor any side effects. Anybody want to share and let me know when I would start to feel something. Thanks"


"Definitely side effects but tolerable! The first night I couldn't sleep and day 2-4 mild stomach pains and nausea. I also had some anxiety along some crazy dreams at night. The taste was bad but I always immediately washed it down with food and juice. I admit I expected it to be a lot worse but the biggest challenge was not being able to drink!

As a bonus, my rosacea has almost completely cleared in one week. Who knew!!"


"I have just started this medication for withdrawing from alcohol. I have found it very good if anyone wants to stop drinking I highly recommend this medication. "


"It started off great, for the first month. But then by the second month, my period became a monster. It lasted for so long and started on a very random day that wasn't even close to my regular period cycle date. Also, I'm on an emotional roller coaster ride and almost constantly angry at something or someone. I don't like this at all. "


"I used Dulcolax for Women. Gentle it said, HAHA. The package said takes 6/12 hrs.
It DID NOT take that long, I began to feel the effects from 1 pill after just 2 hrs. I had been constipated for 4 days. At 2 hrs, my stomach began to hurt (took w/ food), my chest began to hurt from my pulse racing, then my back started to hurt from my horrible stomach pain. I was worried. At the 4 hr mark, I was in the bathroom, the first time was ok, so I thought problem solved. Oh no, 15 mins later I started having horrible abdominal cramps and ran to the bathroom, for a 10 minute stay. Then 15 mins after that I was in the bathroom for what I can only describe as horrific and the most intense/never-ending bowel movement of my life. Don't count on 6/12 hrs"


"Diagnosed in 2003 with ulcerative colitis. Started Remicade in 2010. Helped my symptoms but developed Discoid Lupus in 2015. Doctor thinks it was brought on by the Remicade. Stopped Remicade and now taking Entyvio for colitis and plaquenil for the lupus."


"I took alli for 2 days and now I pee blood so bad I am so scared , I stop taking it right away, will not take it again"


"I started taking Yaz as my birth control in high school (I'm 25 now) to prevent getting pregnant and as treatment for my moderate acne. It is my holy grail. I used to get consistent breakouts on my forehead and chin, and since using Yaz my acne has completely cleared up. My skin is literally beautiful to the point that my friends will comment how good my skin is.

Last year, I decided to give the non-hormonal IUD ParaGard a try because I didn't want the hassle of taking a pill every day. During that time (about 5 months) that I wasn't taking Yaz, my skin broke out terribly. I thought it would calm down after a couple of months once my body had adjusted but it never did. I also started having much more dramatic mood swings during that time."


"I have suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for a while now and it seemed that no matter what I took it never helped. I would say this pill works a little too well. I take it and exactly 2 hours later I'm rushing to the toilet. I only take it once a week because the day I do take it, I'm on the toilet. I can't stress enough that plan a day near the toilet! Makes me feel 100x better though."


"I overall was not very happy with this. The reviews were horrible online but I decided to try it anyways. It did shorten and lighten my period a lot which I loved. But I had a lot of spotting before I got my period which was annoying. I did notice my acne get worse. But no emotional effect except being more hungry, I also noticed my breast get slightly bigger but as well as my belly area. I'm 17."


"I have been taking the drug since April 1st and I am down about 50 pounds. I was taking Viibryd, because I developed panic attacks after our house was flooded out by Sandy and gained a ton of weight. Anyone who takes an anti-depressant, no matter which one it is, you need to get off it as soon as possible because you are going to gain a lot of weight.  The reason why this drug is so expensive is because weight loss is the number one thing people cherish the most. What is the first thing you notice when you look at someone for the first time? What they look like! Novo Nordisk knows that and they have a captive audience. When you sell gold, you can charge a lot of money and people have to buy it."


"I experienced difficulty in obtaining orgasm while taking 5mg of Lexapro. Buspirone did the trick. When I upped my dose of Lexapro to 7.5mg, I began experiencing trouble reaching orgasm once more. I've let my doctor know and we're working on a solution. Most likely I'll up my dose of Buspirone from 10mg daily to 20mg."


"It’s worked very well for me. I started taking it at 55 years old when after falling and breaking 5 bones in my foot, the doctor had a dexa scan done. I was -2.8. I’ve now been on it for four and a half years with no side effects or problems. Last bone scan had my lowest score at -1.6."


"Everyone's toenails grow at different rates.  To say that they grow slowly and that evidence of the treatment taking a year to notice is simply NOT TRUE.

I have taken generic Lamasil for 3 weeks now and the thickness under the nail bed in all 5 of my toes is almost completely gone AND you can see where new, healthy nail is growing in. I am fully committed to the treatment course, so just because things look better so quickly does not mean the fungus is completely gone.

I just wanted to give hope to someone out there who may be discouraged by some of these testimonies. Everyone's case is different but there is still the possibility your body will respond well and rather quickly to the oral treatment!"


"I had suffer from the below side effects :

excess air or gas in the stomach,
full feeling,
lack or loss of strength,
passing gas,
sore throat.

 I stopped taking it."


"I've been on the patch for 2 months and I love it. I dont have to remember to take a pill everyday and it increased my breast size."


"I would say this is an okay medicine. It works wonderfully at preventing pregnancy. I've been on it for a year and the only problem I've run into is horrible mood swings and depression the entire sugar pill week. Otherwise I've had shorter periods, lighter periods but pretty bad cramps. "


"Just an FYI.  Not all anxiety medications work for everyone.  This one works amazingly for me but works horribly for a good friend of mine.   She took a test to determine what medication was best for her and was able to find the best match.  If you are on a medication that isn't working don't give up hope, ask to do the test and try something until you find one that works for you.  If your doctor isn't accommodating look for another one.  Cheers."


"My doctor prescribed me Ponstel recently.  I suffer from endometriosis, and am in pain 3 weeks a month.  I took the first pill, fell asleep shortly afterwards.  When I woke up, I had horrible pains shooting through my stomach.  I was told to stop taking it, and got prescribed good old Vicodin.  I realize I'm in a small percentage of people who have had problems with this medicine, but since the other reviews have been good, I wanted to let people know that it does have side effects."


"I have been on Sprintec for a month now, and have not had a problem with weight gain, but for the first 2-3 weeks my skin was terrible! It cleared up after that, however. I don't feel hungry as often because I almost constantly feel nauseous and have headaches. The most notable side effect is the cramps. Even though I'm not on my period, I have terrible cramps that makes it feel like I am! Got to my first week of white pills and no period."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a week ago and my doctor put me on Savella. I'm able to do things I couldn't do before without being so tired. I recommend it to whoever has fibromyalgia. It really does work. Give it a try first before you give up."


"I was stressed due to work and began taking 10 mg. it worked when I took it which was maybe twice a week. 7 months after starting the med, I thought s bug was in my ear. After seeing one walk in clinic Doctor and an ear nose throat hearing test and X-ray, I went to my family doctor. She narrowed it down to this medicine because I take no other meds and have no other health concerns.my age is 39 female."


"I started Nortrel August 2016, and whenever I went on it my appetite increased like crazy and I became severely depressed. I started binge eating and gained about 20 lbs in two months. For a while I didn't put two and two together and thought that I was just depressed and developing terrible eating habits. The next few months I was going through therapy and trying to get my binge eating under control. Nothing worked and I felt awful. Finally about two months ago I questioned whether the birth control was to blame for all of my problems. I went off and got a Skyla IUD and let me tell you... BEST DECISION EVER! I've lost about 5 lbs in a month with no effort and I definitely have noticed that my appetite is back to normal since switching."


"Just started Lyrica for pain with multiple sclerosis. Numbing/tingling/foot drop /balance issues all standard with MS. 75 Mg per day and already noticed difference...I can move my toes! Pain is reduced. Gabapentin did not help, baclofen or flexeril same. So far lyrica is doing the trick for me. Dr increasing Lyrica slowly each week to find the right dosage."


"I had two bowel resections and versed had no after affects after about 5 hours and was very useful for relaxation."


"This drug has helped me so much, I used to be on a low dose benzo and an antidepressant and I felt terrible all the time, I had many racing thoughts about hurting myself and dying, I couldn't control myself at all when I felt anxious or too happy, which came followed by depression, but when my doctor replaced my benzo with this, the intrusive thoughts stopped. I got ocasional headache and dizziness (these are the only side effects i got) at first, but the side effects have gone away now after a couple months. I can finally function normally without terrible mood swings that ruin everything.

I take 600 mg a day, 300 at morning and 300 at night."


"Diazapan have saved my life I take two 5mg tablets a day. While on these meds my head seems more clearer I don't want to harm my self or others"


"I have taken hydrocodone for several years due to severe back pain. I have osteoporosis which has resulted in several compression fractures. My back is a mess. I have had multiple surgeries for stenosis and disk problems. I have tried all the pain killers, Oxycontin, MS morphine, Lortab, etc. Norco works the best and I have only minimal side effects. I have taken the Norco 10's, one every 4-6 hours for the past 5 years. I am able to work and function almost normally with the pain killers."


"I just started this on 6/6/15 - the first 2 days I actually gained 4 ounces but now on day 5 I'm down 3.8 lbs so far.  I have zero side effects.  I drink a protein shake, then a full glass of water, then I take the pill with another full glass of water and continue to drink.  I think this is helping with having no side effects... something in your stomach first and keep hydrated!  I go to the gym 5x a week so I'm hoping this pill helps in the long run get this weight finally off.  3.8 lbs I just lost took me almost 3 months to lose previously with only diet/exercise and I gained it back within 2 weeks.... my body is definitely changing with age.  Anyways, so far I love this pill and I hope everyone else benefits from it too!!!"


"I went thru a very difficult time being hurt at work,.I could have easily been killed.  The company making moves to fire me cuz I costs them $ for my 'free medical ". Accident was another employee's negligence. Long story. Plus legal. etc etc
With celexa, my anxiety , stress, depression levels became under control.

I was able to return back to a resemblance of a human being Was at 40mg to start. Weaned down to 30mg. Then when legal became intense, 40mg. No good settlements in these cases but my sanity is returning. And coping better.
Highly recommend. Side effect was being tired until my body adjusted.
At least got covered by Workers Comp insurance. In Ca, that's a miracle because for injured parties, you're fortunate that insurance pays ."


"I took the pill three times because I happened to have an accident three different times in a span of a year and a half. The first two times I didn't experience any bad symptoms and got my period around when I was supposed to. The third time I waited a week and my period already came, which was very strange. I always took the pill within a few hours of the accident and it worked every time!"


"Not terrible, but not great. I've only been on it for one month so far, but I've been constipated, bloated, and my eyes have been bugging me/ I got nauseous for the first two weeks of use, to the point that I had to take prescription medication for nausea. There's no difference in my skin (still pretty clear), and I get headaches periodically. I've also had trouble concentrating. This did nothing for cramps either. I didn't get pregnant, so I guess it's doing it's job, but I'll probably switch to another brand."


"I have been on Zoloft for about a year now. I started taking it after suffering from depression and anxiety for 8 years. Finally when I hit rock bottom I decided to get some help. I started off at 50mg and I started to see my life change. I still had some issues. It was like being on an emotional roller coaster. At my one month check up they increased my dose to 100mg. Since then things have gotten better. I am more social and outgoing. I no longer push my friends away and I actually want to get out. I have had some issues with side effects though. Since I started taking it I have had some issues with remembering small things. Especially if I am stressed out. For the most part it has been amazing to feel happy."


"I love Celexa. I have anxiety and it was really starting to effect my performance in college. I started Celexa (10mg) and the first 2 weeks were miserable! I was seriously depressed but after that two week adjustment phase it worked wonderfully! I could feel a tangible difference overnight! I love it but I would warn that the adjustment phase is brutal."


"Nonstop spotting for 6 weeks. Weight gain, bloated. I can’t wait to switch back to Juleber. My only side effect with Juleber was bigger boobs."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I was diagnosed with MRSA in the hospital. The infectious disease doctor said I was lucky that it responded to Zyvox. It's a much better and easier alternative to IVs for a month. The medicine did make me feel nauseous. It was however very effective."


"I take the extended release once a day. I recently got a dose increase for my extreme fatigue. It has been about 3 weeks and I do not like the symptoms that occur with it. I feel like a zombie, I don't enjoy talking when I am on my medicine, I get extremely bad frequent headaches, I am even more tired when it wears off but I am unable to sleep, I get really irritable and moody. With the lower dose the main problematic symptom I would have was the dry mouth, but that was manageable."


"I am 28 years old male and veterinary special student in the field of avian diseases at tehran university . I have been diagnosed as IBS(diarrhea dominant & abdominal pain) in 2008. IBS bothered me always and disturbed my private life until my gastroentrologist and psychiatrist prescribed drugs of nortriptyline 10 mg (at least  remedible dosage of this drug)  at once a day and before bedtime and dicyclomine 10 mg drug at twice to three times in day and  at least twenty minutes before food meal and I felt a good and normal life after administration these drugs in during of 1 week. I believed this drug  has positive  and considerable effects on IBS treatment but no cure however this drug had some side effects and adverse like all other drugs"


"This used in conjunction with Cymbalta is about as good as it gets for nerve pain. In the past I was given Neurontin, Gabapentin, and many others but none were as effective. On the down side I found that the Lyrica in higher doses (150MG - 600MG)  left me tired and unable to enjoy my days. I found that I received no greater pain relief taking the larger doses, just more / worse side effects. Even with Lyrica and the Cymbalta some people with extreme pain may still need to use some other type of pain relief in addition to this drug. I take 300MG of Lyrica spread over 4 doses per day and the Cymbalta, and 120MG of OxyContin and up to 40MG Oxycodone for breakthrough pain. In severe cases, a second anti-depressant may be needed in addition to The Cymbalta to help fight the depression that comes with chronic pain.
The big down side to both of these name brand medicines is the cost. A months supply of Lyrica with no insurance is over $330 and the Cymbalta will set you back just over $300 each month. Even with insurance these both will end up on the top tier (My co-pay is $50.00 each) and neither of them has a generic equivalent."


"I got the implanon in 2013 I believe and my experience has been pretty confusing. I mean it works, you won't get pregnant but I've had my arm go numb and burn from having it. I don't have a period anymore which I'm not complaining but I still get the cramps and they are worse than they used to be. I've gained a lot of weight and considering I have bipolar disorder my moods did change but they have gotten worse since I've been on the implanon but other than all the complaints I have it works the way it is supposed to"


"This medicine saved me during a sudden, incredibly intense muscle spasm in my neck/back. Side effects were mostly drowsiness but it gave me time to heal and let me sleep during the painful period. Great medication."


"Had a sinus infection for over a month, but didn't know it, because it started out as pain in my teeth.  Went to dentist on 2 seperate occassions within 2 weeks to have a check-up and x-rays.  X-rays revealed nothing wrong with my teeth.  Pain went to throat for 2 weeks and then my ear.  All on left-side.  Went to my PCP, who said my sinuses were almost completely closed.  I did not have any pain around eyes/nose at this point.  Put on Levaquin.  The pain has gotten worse!!  Has not helped me with my sinus infection.  In fact, I'm on day 6, and not only do I have pain in my teeth, ears, and throat still, but now it's traveled throughout my entire head!  The malaise I feel is horrible! Been mainly in bed for 5 days now! Horrible antibiotic!!"


"I just started taking Baclofen in March of 2014 with almost immediate relief. I had a mini stroke back in 2007 and have been dealing with spasticity in my right leg ever since. I was at the point where my leg was so tight it was hard to walk. Anyway after two days of taking Baclofen 10mg twice per day I feel like a new man. My muscles in my right leg have just completely relaxed after taking Baclofen and it's just an amazing feeling after seven years of tightness in my leg and the last two being just agonizing."


"Besides excessive sweating, this medicine has really helped me overcome my anxiety."

"It's the first and only birth control I've ever been on, and I love this pill! The first week after I started it, I had bellyaches and my breasts were sore. But after that week, I haven't had a single problem since. I've been on it for almost a year now. It makes me extremely sexually aroused most of the time (which I'm okay with because I used to lack sex drive), keeps my periods less crampy and lighter, and it has definitely caused my breasts to fill out. Not that they needed it. I went from a 36C to a 36DD. Only a couple of pounds gained, but not in any area other than my chest that I've noticed. I am definitely a promoter of this pill, but of course, other bodies will take it differently."


"I had mirena inserted July of 2014. The insertion was extremely painful for me and I tend to take menstrual pretty well. The only pro for me was not having to think about birth control. Everything else was sadly a con. My periods did not become lighter, my cramps did not get less painful. I had a regular heavy period every month since July. Finally yesterday was when I reached my breaking point. I started my period 3 days ago and the cramps were excruciating. My gyno was able to see me and it turns out my body was trying to explell the iud and it was pushing on my uterus. Needless to say, out it came which I truly didn't feel. Can't wait to start any other birth control again. The acne I've gotten since July has been just horrible also."


"I love it! I had irregular periods that lasted up to 26 days and my gynecologist put me on this pill. And I noticed a difference right away. My periods we're back to normal. I had no side effects whatsoever when taking this pill. The main reason I love this pill because no more periods, I barely have spotting I love it! Lol"


"I suffer from cystic acne and was experiencing really big, red, spots around my mouth, chin and neck. The first couple of weeks using Epiduo was a bit traumatic - all the spots I was experienced all raised up at the same timet. I had around 6-7 large swollen spots on my chin. The Epiduo really made my skin red and dry also, which meant that any make-up I used to try and cover the spots would just come off. My face looked pretty terrible. However, I kept using it and after 2-3 weeks, all the spots had gone. I have not been using Epiduo for around 7 weeks and I haven't had any new spots occur. There is still some redness and scarring, however it's getting better. Great Product!"


"I have been using Viagra for 8 years and finally could not keep up with the cost ! Started out affordable now almost $30 per pill ! My doctor gave me a sample of Stendra and it is awesome ! No headache, immediate response (take it on empty stomach with a glass of water) and I get 3-4 erections and longer performance. My partner is loving this!"


"My obsessive compulsive disorder is lifted and is relieved almost immediately best pill ever!"


"I am surprised there was no one here taking prednisone for fibromyalgia. I take this and 500mg of naproxen daily and am almost pain free."


"I started this just to see if it would help with my period and the cramps I had. My face first started by breaking out really bad everywhere. I also felt bloated 24/7 the whole month I took it. I stopped when I started my period and the cramps were worse than they have ever been before. It was horrible. I wouldn't recommend it to any 18 year old."


"My skin cleared up within a few months! (I was also on Doxy and used clindamycin though) I dropped 15 pounds, and I never got the emotional side affects or anything. Although, I never got cramps before and now I get some rough ones. They're not unbearable, but they hurt and need a heated blanket sometimes. I also have a longer/heavier period. Went from 3 days to 5/6. (I had a super light period and I'd consider it pretty normal now so it's not awful.) I'm also not currently pregnant."


"It was great as soon as I took it I felt a huge difference. Now I can function in everyday life."


"Worst drug I have ever taken for anxiety. I took it as prescribed and it actually caused me to have episodes of crying and anxiety. Well thats wonderful, a drug that made me worse. Stay away from this, it could ruin your life if you get addicted"


"Mucinex is great for decongesting your lungs. Didn't have any part in helping my Fibromyalgia pain."


"Very difficult to get down.  Could not finish all of second dose, left about 2 ounces.

It worked very quickly.  Just some hints that might help you.  Drink it very cold.

If hard to sip, just gulp it down.  Suck on hard candy in between each glass.  Use

moistened wipes to alleviate burning rectum, also used Preparation H.  Glad its all over and I hope everyone's results will be as good as mine.  Can wait 3 yrs for next one.  Hopefully, by then they will have something more palatable."


"It helped with the respiratory issues quickly, BUT within a day of starting this I've been experiencing dizziness, headaches & nausea later followed by stomach cramps & diarrhea ....not sure I can finish the last 2 days of it...the dizziness is the worst."


"I went to the doctor because I was too terrified to do any meaningful living, including walking out of my door. I had experienced panic attacks and was under great social stress.

The doc started me out on 20 mg/day and the first ten days was horrible in that I could "feel" something at work and - because I was afraid of everything, I was even afraid of this medical rescue -- and that was hard for me. My husband did not approve, he felt I should overcome my problems on my own. I persisted, and within a month I felt a blessed relief. I was still having middle of the night anxiety-rushes but when we increased the dose to 30 mg/day they were gone, too. Nearly a year later, I am grateful every day I have this medication."


"My experience is much like everyone else. It stunk. I had such high hopes. It took me 2 hours to fall asleep had a vivid dream for an hour and woke up. You can see how well it worked for me as I'm up wide awake 3 hours after I took the med. Fun part was learned what depths my brain had in my dream. Won't even be trying a second time. I took 20mg off the bat."


"I've been put on loestrin 20 now for so far 3weeks I've two days left of the first pack! My experience already has mostly been positive I've had less cramping after my last period as I started it on the first day of cycle, I'm able too go too the bathroom more frequently as I would have got backed up at certain times in the month with m.c and ovulation.y breasts have filled out lol I'm only a size 8 and have a small bust and my skin has cleared on my face. I do suffer with endo and my doctor put me on this as a last resort basically. I've spotted throughout the month but I did anyways so don't know if I can blame it on this. She did advise me that diff positions-during intecourse can help & not flare the endo up which bothered me."


"Went to urgent care with a migraine I could not get rid of they gave me Benadryl first and then metoclopramide. At first I felt my skin crawling and felt like I couldn't sit still but after about 5 minutes I start to relax and fell asleep. I woke up and no migraine defiantly helped me a lot even though it did make me feel like I had some anxiety at first."


"I've been taking birth control for three years now. The Orsythia is the only birth control that has made me gain weight, I'm constantly hungry. I get moody a lot. And I've  only taken this pill for three months."


"Omg!!.. im 25 yrs old and 2 months post knee surgery. I continued to have pain due to arthritis in my knee my Dr gave me the synvisc-1 shot and im now 3 days post my shot(8-9-16) i feel sooo much better and can walk sooo much better. I was nervous after reading reviews but i have one of the best Drs in the nation here in LA so i trusted him.. Everyone's body is different and will receive medications differently so i try not to go off of reviews. I cant wait until a few more weeks from now to see how much better i am."


"I started Sinemet 25/100mg and within 2 hrs my tremor stopped. I still get some but not as bad as before. My walking also improved."


"I have been taking this medicine now for 6 weeks and am experiencing tremendous flushing with it. So far it hasn't helped my blood pressure go down much. Doctor says give it a little while longer. One day I almost passed out, got light headed and felt like I was in another dimension! Doctor says he can't say for sure it was a side effect of this medicine. I will keep trying it for awhile longer."


"After 4 months I started seeing improvements in my body. My tremors stopped and so did my slurred speech."


"Prescribed for ruptured eardrum/ear infection, on day 6 & while my ear is much better, I feel nauseous & having several loose stools a day. Also feeling very tired. I'm taking a probiotic at bedtime but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Still have 4 days to go, not sure if I'll keep taking or not. Seeing ENT doc tomorrow so we will see what he has to say. Plain old amoxicillin works for me without the nasty side effects."


"Started with Wellbutrin 300mg - I was way to agitated -- went to Cymbalta - loved it except for the lack of ability in the sack. Went to Celexa - worked okay stayed on it for 3 months but never felt anything. So during the 3 months doctor added Wellbutrin - does not help. Celexa made me feel - no sorry it didn't make me feel anything but overall in some ways I kind of liked not feeling but that is not life. So the doctor changed to Pristiq -- WOW I feel alive, energetic, really great. I hope this continues. Oh yea .. no lack in the sack on this one. My real message here is that I hope each of you continues to work with you doctor and find the right medicine."


"I am on my second rod of implanon. My current implant has been in for approx two years. My periods came every 4-5 months for a couple days. But over the past 6 months I have lost 70 pounds changing my diet. Unfortunately this has caused an imbalance and now I have had my period heavily for a whole month."


"I have tried Ambien, Cymbalta, Clonazepam, etc for insomnia.  All have had the opposite effect - keeping me awake worse than if I hadn't taken anything.  Nothing has helped me sleep as well as Vistaril, with no side effects.  I wake up refreshed every morning without any fatigue."


"I had a severe migraine. The worst I have had. I have been suffering from them for about 4 years now. It was given Dilaudid intramuscularly and within about 20 minutes the pain let up so I could finally relax and get some sleep."


"I got ParaGard as my first form of birth control because I didn't want to deal with hormones. I went through 2 models within 5 months. It turned out that my uterus was too small for the IUD. While I was on it though, the only side effects I had was a slight increase in my period (two days longer and a little bit heavier) and a more sensitive cervix. If my boyfriend even slightly hit my cervix, it would send a jolt of pain up my spine. I really didn't mind it and I wish I could still be using it. I wouldn't worry about the copper. And because it's hormone-free, there is very little risk of having symptoms caused by chemicals (like moods or weight-gain)."


"I have had very severe chronic constipation for over two years that has just seemed to get worse and worse over time.  I've tried Amitiza on a few occasions over the last couple years and each time has been a awful experience.  It works but it takes about 3 days and those 3 days are unbearable.  Horrible gas and bloating, headaches, cramps, nausea, not to mention the pain in my back and sides from the severe bloating.  I gave a friend some of my samples and it worked wonders for her, she had none of those side effects. Everyone is different, it's always worth a try."


"I am 25 and I had the Mirena inserted 4 months ago. The doctor told me I will experience slight discomfort for the first three weeks and that my bleeding may be abnormal-but what I experienced was far beyond that. The pain on ONLY my right side started to become more severe and COMPLETELY random, it woke me up at nights. I thought it was just my body getting used to the foreign device in my body, after all the doc did say it would take some time. I gave it 4 months of daily agonizing pain and many doc appointments just making sure the Mirena was in place and nothing was wrong. The doc kept me assured that everything was in place and basically hinted that I was simply being dramatic. IUD's aren't worth it to me, I'm back to pills. Too scary!"


"I've had OCD for 25 years. I'm 39 now, when I was 22 I could not take it anymore, first it was Prozac, then Paxil, etc. But the best one I found out that works best for me is Lexapro. It is amazing for OCD.  I was a door checker like 20 times and the stove too, and my mind would repeat the same things over and over and over. Today I feel a lot better off."


"It took me months to build up to my current dose of 1.2, but I tolerate it really well now, and would encourage those who find the side effects tough, to just click up a little bit every week to give your body a chance to get used to it.  I also take mid afternoon which seems to be a great time for me as I don't overeat at dinner or snack in the evening anymore."


"have had nexplanon since 12/11/12. It was fine for awhile, until my boyfriend started complaining that we never have sex anymore. Then I realized that we really didn't. I have always been a tad moody, and already had depression issues. Nexplanon made them worse. The worst thing of all was that unfortunately my boyfriend started becoming extremely jealous thinking i was having sex with someone else. I couldn't figure out what happened to my sexual appetite for the longest time. Then it dawned on me, it had to be the implant. i didnt have much of a  problem with implanon, just moodiness. I can honestly say if i were not in a relationship, it would probably be great, but starting nexplanon ruined my relationship, and my selfesteem. Too bad."


"I have Crohn's disease, I've had two surgeries, and have problems digesting food. My Doctor put me on Creon, and within an hour after taking it I had the worst case of brain fog ever. Like being stoned, but not in a good way. I tried it for several days and then stopped. Waited several days and tried it again with the same result.
My doctor said it "could not" have been from the Creon............well, I'm sure that it was."


"I really eat healthy on a regular basis low carb kind of like the keto and atkins diet. I lost around 60 pounds on my own and was in a plateau phase. My doctor suggested taking this medicine. The first 2 days major headaches but then they went away. I am eating, working out, and doing my normal routine with this medicine. Now I weight myself 1 week later and learned I GAINED 9 POUNDS! Doesn't make any sense but I am going to stop taking it when I can loose that much myself without medicine. Really sad but this is what I have to do."


"The first time I was on nuva for about 8 months and got pregnant. Imy thinking the cause could have been another medication I was on while using nuva. After that pregnancy I had started using nuva again with no there medications, was using it Sept 2015 to march 2016. I started getting bad leg cramps, migraines, shortness of breath, dizziness, bad abdominal pain, and some days couldn't get out of bed to take care of my 3 kids I was in so much pain. I stopped using it and have a drs appt to check for a blood clot and anything else that could be going on. Alot of my pain and migraines have decreased since being off it just 5 days. Still experiencing some pain in my knees, and some abdominal pain, but for the most part way better thandle I was."


"I am feeling much better, been on this for about a month, I can feel my sexuality coming back and I am much more positive.  Everyone should be told that this medicine could cause severe nausea and vomiting.  I mean bad, but well worth it.  Nausea starts first at the lower doses and then EXPLOSIVE diarrhea sets in for at least a week.  I'm continuing treatment, I feel much better and gastrointestinal side effects are going away slowly.  Feel great, but prepare for the diarrhea."


"Nitro reduced the ITU symptoms in day 1, however I had a very annoying side effect: pain in my eyes. Every time I would look to the side my eyes would hurt very badly. Started on day 2 and I had to stop taking the medicine on day 3. I then took ciprofloxacine and everything went well."


"I was on Risperdal and I was always sleeping, gained much weight and craved for sugar. When I switched to Invega my weight went back too normal, suffer few side effects such as restlessness and sometimes anxiety but it beats those other anti-psychotics because fewer side effects and no weight gain for me. I don't like any of these medicines but I look like I'm not on any, so far so good."


"Worked for neurology pain and even more so as a sleeping aid..I've taken sleeping pills all my life..none more effective than these"


"I have been using this pill for 1 week now, this is my first birth control pill I have used. I am 15 and mainly wanted it for my acne and I had really really bad cramps and heavy periods. my OBGYN told me to start it on the day I started my period so I did that. The first day my head felt cloudy, and I felt as if I was high. When I woke up the next morning I had to run to the bathroom and threw up, mainly just dry heaves. I normally bloat when I'm on my period but I seem bigger than usual and my breast are extremely tender. But other people said it decreased there sex drive but I feel like it has done the complete opposite for me. My periods normally last for 8 days and I'm on my 4th right now with little to no bleeding."


"I took two Ambien and according to my family, came down stairs, greeted them all like I never seen them before. Then went into the kitchen and performed a kitchen show talking to myself and my new recipes.  Then went back to bed.  I have no memory of this."


"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."


"Made me irritable."


"I have just taken out my Implanon for about a month ago and I had used it for 3 years and a few months. I really liked the Implanon. It worked, I didn't get pregnant. My periods was usually light and last a few day. I didn't have any complication. The only thing that I didn't like was that I gained 30lbs. I felt like I was always hungry and so I was always eating. I tried working out but I didn't lose much weight during the first 2 year. But during the last year it started getting easier for me to lose weight so I'm guessing it's because the Implanon started to fade. And I also have a sister who used it. She didn't have any problem or anything but she just gained weight. But besides that it was good."


"Most of you on this site have had one or more miserable mornings where you have told yourself and others that you have quit drinking for good. I had a countless number of those before I saw my Doctor and was prescribed Antabuse. My intentions were always sincere but this medicine required that I saw my intentions through.
I had loads of motivation, 2 pills a day, and was sober for a month. Thanks to that same motivation, the fact that I was feeling much better, and many many other reasons, I have been sober for another 3 months without Antabuse.
Advice; go to the store and buy all of your alcohol free hygiene products beforehand. You will still have the physical symptoms so read up on those. If you can't talk to your doctor, find another one."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Tastes gross, definitely chill it first. Also, taking sips of ginger ale after each gulp helps. Felt a little nauseous at first, that subsided, not as quickly in round 2.

Took about 15 mins to kick in the 1st round, 10 for round 2. Round 2 in progress. Seems to be rooting the roto as promised."


"Overall I'd say it worked for a bit. Not sure if I should have had my dosage increased when the side effects started back up, or if it was because I messed up my scheduling for taking it. It put my anxiety through the roof. More anxiety than I'd ever had naturally. I got it mostly for depression/possible bipolar, and it worked for the most part until the side effects kicked in, save for the random swells of depression that wouldn't last for more than two hours but felt so much worse than the stable depression I've had for years. I'd recommend it for someone who's better at keeping appointments than I am."


"Was given Levaquin for bronchitis/pneumonia. Within 15 minutes of first dose, I had violent vomiting that lasted almost a half hour. Cannot know if this would help or not. Doctor advised to discontinue use and continue with the steroids. After 4 days,congestion in chest almost cleared. Check all interactions before using."


"I've been taking this for almost two weeks now. I chose this form of bc because I am fully breastfeeding. I haven't seen any changes in my breastmilk. The third day on this, I was feeling a bit nauseous for a couple hours. I had a minor headache the first couple of days. I haven't had those problems anymore. A week into taking the pill, I started spotting. Then today my period is very heavy and watery. But its alot! (Sorry if I'm too graphic, I just want to be specific for anyone that might want to look up reviews about this bc). I'm really hoping this heavy period goes away. I'm going to give it a couple more days."


"Smoked for 40 years, tried many times to quit over the years, had a light bulb moment early Feb, saw my GP on the 8th, last cigarette on 10th, no cravings, not been tempted, side affects minimal, found taking tablet with food works for me, also I only take the morning one since I started month two, still no cravings, will continue until the course is finished though, saving the money spent on cigarettes to take a cruise next year with my husband and friends, a reward that I hope will keep me focused"


"I am a 73 year old active male and I was initially prescribed Tramadol by my Orthopedic Surgeon for Arthritis knee pain 4 years ago.  Since then I tore my Meniscus in the same knee and following surgery to repair and clean some of the Arthritis I pretty much have bone on bone.  Since I have multiple medical problems eg; three hip replacements, heart attack, atrial fibrillation with Pacemaker defibrillation implant, Lung cancer surgery, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, etc. I have decided I do not want to go through a knee replacement.  I have been using Tramadol every day for 4 years and have to increase it when I play golf usually 2 pills 3 times to get through the round.  The Dr is now objecting to refills which gives me a big problem.  "


"I have had fibromyalgia symptoms for over 2 years now, muscle cramps that stay in a locked position for days.  I am in constant pain.  I have only been on venlafaxine  for not quite a week and have to admit it has controlled the pain to a dull ache instead of the throbbing pain before.  My doctor started me out on 37.5 mgs and after 4 days we increased it to 75 mgs.  I seem to tolerate this dosage well.  I am happy with the benefit of helping my anxiety level. I see hope at the end of the pain tunnel."


"I just got into pain management. I have cubital tunnel and degenerative disc disease in T3/T4. My doctor put me on 25mcg fentanyl patches and 50mg tapentadol(Nucynta) for breakthrough pain. The fentanyl is helping but when I take the Nucynta it doesn't seem to help my break through pain. My doctor was excited for me to try it and see how it works. "


"Testim must have the worst delivery system devised for any medical product.  And the gel takes forever to dry.....longer than I can wait.  So I go to work unsticking my undershirt from my skin for an hour.

It comes in 30 mini-toothpaste tubes.  The end must be punctured by the cap that has a point for that purpose.  Then you are to squeeze "half" from that little tube and spread it. THEN you put the little tube in your NOW sticky, slimey other hand and squeeze out as much of the rest as possible.  There is no way this is cost effective.

I was forced to use Testim by my insurance company after 10 years of Androgel gel packs and then the pump........which was perfect.  I don't like Testim at all and see no difference medically from Androgel"


"After reading these reviews I was very skeptical to try this once it was prescribed. I’ve tried over the counter monistat for yeast infections and the burning was almost unbearable.. so I was scared to use another vaginal cream. But to my surprise this did not burn AT ALL. There was a irritating tingling feeling on day one BUT a yeast infection is already irritating and it went away in like an hour. Day two I woke up a little itchy once I took the cream the symptoms went away almost immediately and I was good all day. Today is day three and I’m excited that I Almost feel back to myself! I would recommend this. I have had no side effects the only thing is some of the cream will come out so wear some panties you don’t care about or a liner lol !"


"I am a 65 year old active male.  I had a scope on my left knee for a torn medial meniscus.  For 8 months I was able to resume my activities including golf, walking, biking and swimming.  Then, my knee began to swell and become painful again.  My doc gave me a cortico steroid injection (pretty painful) in the knee joint.  I received immediate relief which lasted about 3 months before the swelling and pain returned.  I confirred with my doc again and opted for Euflexxa instead of another steroid injection.  The pain from the injection was minimal and about a week after the 3rd injection, I have been pain free.  I still ice my knee after exercise but hope that this remedy will buy me 6 months before I have another course of injections."


"I experienced severe postpartum depression after my twins were born, actually it started after I stopped breastfeeding them.  My hormones were all over the place.  I was sleep deprived and suicidal.  Paxil worked great on my depression, but I had negative side effects. First of all, it really flattened my emotional response.  Nothing much upset me, but nothing made me excited either.  I had zero sex drive and could not achieve orgasm at all.  I also gained a lot of weight in a very short amount of time.  Also, I had trouble falling asleep.  I switched to Wellbutrin, and actually lost weight. I would still have difficulty coping some days, but it was manageable, and no negative side effects."


"Unfortunately after taking my first dose of Zomig, I had an allergic reaction to it.  Upper lip felt like I was stung by a bee and started to swell up on one side.  This stayed in the same location for about 45 minutes.  After that, my left cheek started to swell and get numb along with my nose.  Off to the ER I had to go.  While it DID kick the migraine, I had an unfortunate reaction to it."


"This medicine saved my life."


"I took this Pill in September after a condom slipped. I got my period on time. I then had to take it two times in October after two mishaps. I bled the week after I took the pills. I never got my period on my exact due date. I got it at the end of November. So girls if your worried you might not get it you will. Just take it on time and right away. I am now going to to get put on the Pill and make sure I have a condom when I have sex. It was a lot of money but worth it. You don't know how happy I was to see my period."


"Very expensive but works for me. I just take one a day."


"I've been on Junel Fe for 9 months now. For the first three months I experienced nausea and occasional mood swings, it helped with making my period lighter and regularly on time. After the first months I was fine. Upon month 8 I experienced extreme mood swings and depression. I would pick fights about the smallest things and I felt crazy for doing so. I became really depressed once I hit month 9 and just could not figure out what was going on. Finally, a friend suggested getting off of Junel Fe and I have seen immediate change in my mood even on day 3 of being off the pill. Did not work for me."


"I remember when my insurance company covered OxyContin.  That drug was EXTREMELY effective at controlling my chronic pain.  This oxycodone hcl (generic) seems to be FAR less effective, even when taking the same amount of milligrams per day."


"Crohns Disease 10 years - just started it as needed recently. Has saved me several from having to go to the ER. Slows my bowels so I don't have loose stools while traveling. Works quickly. Little to no side effects - 10mg"


"Tried monistat 7 cream tubes the first time and it gave me insane burning and itching that I went to the hospital ..this time I have a worse YI and stupidly decided to try it again n WORST IDEA EVER, its made the symptoms TRIPLE their intensity!! I will never buy this rubbish again , in the worse pain ever and its looking like no sleeping tonight .. even tried digging out as much of it as possible and its torture !!"


"I've been using Belviq for a little over a month. I start on 12-9-15 at the weight of 277.4 and today on 1-16-2016 I have lost 13lbs total. I did have stall the second week taking the medication. I try to watch what I eat and how much I eat. I had no side effects of any kind I really do like this medication. It helps me to stop craving for foods I shouldn't have at all. My goal for the end of the year to drop down to 75lbs.  Good luck to those who's giving the Belviq a try."


"I have had my Mirena for over 2 years and I LOVE it! When I had it placed I had some moderate to severe cramping but I was given pain killers to help that. For the 1st year I had some random cramping but no periods, but now I hardly think about it (unless my friends are complaining about theirs). I am 23 and have no children and want to keep it that way. I plan on getting another one placed when this one is done."


"I have only been on it for about 4 days. I noticed I have been feeling dizzy. Not sure whats causing it. I take Tradjenta with Metformin. I am hoping this medicine works but saw something if your planning on becoming pregnant not to take it. Some days I wonder if insulin would be better."


"I am 29 I started getting cystic acne when I was 21 right out of the blue! I had tried everthing you can think of every home remedy EVERYTHING! Literally! Finally my derm prescribed spirolactone 50 mg a day. After two months my skin was perfect and I went from ugly cystic pimples too nothing. After a year I stopped taking it biggest mistake of my life. 8 months later my cystic acne Is full blown ...I'm back on spirolactone 100 mg a day and my face is a mess I have to start all over I highly recommend that once you start this medication do not stop!!!! I'll give another update in a month but right now I hate my face and can not deal with it I do not know what to do"


"Side effects were not tolerated well."


"This drug distorted my son and took his life.  Stay away and learn to cope with you problems through natural methods.  So what if you are OCD, deal with wanting to make sure your bar of soap sits squarely in the dish. It's a much better than killing yourself.  STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!"


"Positive experience! I have SAD, GAD, Social Anxiety and Depression. I have been taking 90 mg for 10 years now. I had tried Effexor, Paxil, Wellbutrin and Celexa. These had each worked for about a year and then didn't work anymore. I have one side effect that I deal with. I have hot flashes.  But this has been ok to deal with because my head finally felt right. I was able to go off of my anti-anxiety medication some years ago. After all this time on Cymbalta I have gone through some major life changes in the last year and my anxiety has come back. My depression has been sneaking back as well. I am trying CBT with a little success. I think I may need an increased dose or may have to try something new, which I dread."


"5'4 start weight 251 lbs. Started Victoza March 8, 2017 and lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. I was put on this medicine because I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I also have a thyroid disorder that I've been dealing with the pass 10+ years and have had difficulty with weight loss.  It slightly decreases my appetite but I am still hungry. I don't forget to eat, I just don't have the constant hunger.  Most of the time I don't even feel the needle stick. When I do feel it, it's painless. In the first 2 weeks, I may have had some heart burn or acid reflux type symptoms but that was only for a couple of days and not severe, very minor.  I haven't exercised in the two weeks since starting because of another issue but will start back this week."


"Tried weekly Boniva and had severe flu symptoms each time and had to stop taking it.  That was approximately 1 yr ago. Now taking once monthly. Thought it was okay no flu but having diarrhea and pain in upper thigh after taking twice. Just had 3rd one yesterday and diarrhea is bad."


"I have been taking this for almost a year. I was in the hospital over the week end. They thought I had a stroke. The doctor checked my scripts and told me my high blood pressure and a lot of my other symptoms were caused by this drug. I  have been off it for 2 days now and really feel a LOT better. This medication was a mirical pill that worked great but the side effects are too much for me. I ended up with almost all of them."


"I actually have Bipolar Disorder (mainly mania). The first 2 weeks of Rexulti were rough because I  got tons of restlessness and akathisia. I stopped for 3 days and restarted at 0.5mg. Each week increased by 0.5mg until I got to 2mg. No problems with restlessness.

I am on Lithium as well, but before the addition of Rexulti I was not doing that great with respect to bipolar cycling into mania. I have been stable since the start of Rexulti with the exception of 4 days where I was depressed/mixed, but this is because I stopped my meds for a few daysIt gives me slight increased in motivation and better time-management, which really surprised me given my past experiences with AAPs. My mood if definitely more stable and I am not suffering the highs that come with mania"


"I usually don't write reviews, but I felt my experience needed to be shared to warn others. I have a very high pain tolerance, I've never had a problem with pain until I started using this 0.025% cream. I have never felt such horrible burning pain in my life. My skin looks horrible now, I have red splotches everywhere that are also dry. The only reason I started using this was because I started developing some minor breakout about once a month and they were enough to lower my confidence. But this pain is absolutely not worth it. I was supposed to continue for 5 months but I absolutely will not. I can't even lay my head on my pillow at night without my face feeling like it's on fire."


"This tastes so bad I was gagging to get it down.  I am never using it again and its very expensive.  I had to shoot it with a before and after chaser.  There is no flavor whatsoever other than thick sea water.  It smells lemony but don't let that fool you. "


"I read all the reviews on here and
I wonder what went wrong with me. I have been plagued by cold sores regularly since a young girl and just the last few years my outbreaks have been considerably lessened to about once a year, more recently it's been almost two years since my last one. When at the doctors a few months ago, I knew the winter time was the most frequent time for me to get a cold sore I requested a prescription from my doctor and she prescribed Valtrex. This morning, I woke up with tightness is my lip, no tingling, and immediately took my first dose of it ever and it got progressively worse all day. I convinced myself after the second dosage, it would get better and it didn't. It spread further up my lip. Any advice."


"Very depressed after 2 days. Didn't seem to have an impact on my appetite."


"I've been taking this medication for depression. I've been on it for about a year now. When I first started taking it I smoked about a pack a day. Over time this reduced my cravings for nicotine and helped me quit smoking. It took time and effort but it worked. Also when I started this medicine I weighed 207 lbs which was my highest weight. Wellbutrin caused weight loss for me and I now weigh 165. This medicine improves my overall mood and I am not as depressed as I was a year ago. I've also experienced hair shedding, which has become more and more of a problem. Sometimes it comes out in handfuls. I gave this medicine a 9 because mostly my side effects were positive. I don't know where I'd be without Wellbutrin."


"I tried pill after pill for 6 years, hated them all, whether it was bad skin or mood swings. Decided that I wanted to go as hormone free as possible. As a 21 year old, my doctor said that Skyla tended to have the best reviews from women my age. After reading all of the reviews I was spooked, so I took a pain killer before. The doctor did not give me anything for anxiety or the pain. I ended up passing out twice during the insertion and the next two days afterwards were antagonizing cramps. Thankful I had my boyfriend to take care of me. The rest of the first week was occasional sharp cramping. 6 weeks in, couldn't be happier! Appetite is smaller, skin is clearer, zero mood swings, high sex drive, normal periods. Well worth the initial pain."


"As a firearms, knife and self defense instructor, this product is GREAT.  Better than triple antibiotic ointment."


"I have only been on for a week and a half.  I have not had any side effects.  I take 10mg every day.  For a little background on myself. My Total Cholesterol has been over 400 for a long time.  I was pretty adamant about reducing my TC without statins.  Finally I decided to give them a try.  My last blood test had my Cholesterol in the 300 zone which is an improvement for me.  I am into bodybuilding, and that entails me to Bulk up and then Diet down.  Weirdly enough my >300 Cholesterol reading was in my Bulk up Phase where I am 260lbs and carrying more Bodyfat than normal.  I low carb during my lean phases where I cut out all starch carbs and sugars.  Doctor thinks its a hereditary Cholesterol problem. I never get over 15% bf."


"I had to stop taking my migraine medicine because of a life threatening side effect.  Nothing else touched my migraines.  I was desperate because of the nausea and dizziness on top of the unbelievable pain, and took a Dramamine.  Not only did it stop the nausea and dizziness, it knocked out my migraine enough that I was able to get out aof bed and function - probably from a 10 on the pain scale to a 5.  Huge difference!"


"Stopped taking Cymbalta after being on the medicine for almost year.  Worked wonders for the pain from Fibro and also improved my mood.  I also had some horrible side effects.  Lost a ton of hair, gained 40 pounds and became a compulsive gambler. Heard of others suffering from compulsive behavior on the medicine and also euphoria feelings.  I couldn't get over my loss of control when it came to gambling (slots).  I know others on the drug who became shopaholics.  I have been off the drug for five weeks and what a difference.  My hair is growing in better and is not falling out like before.  I have no desire to go gamble.  Losing the weight may be more difficult.  I am glad I have decided to get off the medicine, but am also suffering fibro pain."


"I have had the insertion for about five months and it was good for the first month and a half, forgot it was even there. During the middle of the second month I started spotting enough to have to wear tampons everyday and I'm up to my fifth month and still spotting. I'm cranky and it drives me nuts but other than that it's a good method. Everybody reacts differently."


"I have had to use laxatives at least once a month for decades. A few hints I have learned over the years. If you are not a regular user of laxatives, only take one pill. I take 3. Take it before you go to bed, and you must have the next day free. Why? Because it is never predictable how it will hit you. The first few poops are hard and not easy. Once that is done, the rest of the day will be quite loose and by the end it is straight liquid. I fast on a "poop" day. Why? Whatever you eat will go right through you and it HURTS. No spicy foods. I too have thrown up before- pure bile. It feels like it backs up into your stomach, while working on the other stuff. That is the worst. I have had cramps, shivers, cold sweats. You will lose 2-5 pounds"


"This product worked. It dropped my blood pressure in the normal stage to where I felt good."


"I have not tried any medication beside this, and I could not feel anything from 30mg or 50mg, and I do not have any hope for 70mg either right now."


"I had my gall bladder removed in 2011. I was planning my life around a restroom and it was affecting my social life. I would not go on trips, and did not want to go to anyone's house to eat for fear of an episode. Welchol has been a miracle for me. I only take them as I need them. Sometimes even 1 or 2 a week. It is very expensive, so I'm glad I don't have to take them everyday."


"Just started taking this for a cough and all I've done when taking this is vomit and have the worst case of nausea ever."


"This implant has been a complete blessing. For years I was on birth control to regulate my period and mood swings, but since I'm deployed on a ship for most of the year, I had to pay out of pocket for my pills because my insurance only covered 3 month "vacation" packs. This became expensive. I've been on the implant for 3 months now and have been ecstatic with the results. The first two weeks I experienced a light period (not thrilled about it, but was optimistic). The second month I received slight spotting during my time of month, but this month there was nothing! My sex drive (which was relatively high before) has been crazy high, which my fiancée loves, and I don't mind either haha. No weight gain or mood swings. Completely satisfied!"


"Took it for about a year for migraines after trying several different other treatments. Stopped migraines and tapered off the drug and no more headaches, that was over ten years ago and still don't have migraines."


"In two weeks I'll have been smoke free for 6 MONTHS!  I think about this often and laugh to myself and sometimes do a little victory shimmy when I'm alone, of course.  I'm 30, I've been smoking for 12 years, I grew tired of hiding in weird places to smoke.  I started taking the pills when I wasn't yet ready to quit but I'm better off.  I took the first two weeks of these pills and that was it.  The last cigarette felt like I'd gone outside, picked up a tree branch and tried to smoke it.  Chantix, luckily allows you to continue smoking through the first week, I smoked into the 4th day of the second week and that unpleasant experience hit me like I ton of bricks. I experienced ZERO side effects, this medicine affects everyone differently."


"Insomnia, night sweats, moody, uncontrollable crying in the bosses office!  I tried so hard and so long to do nothing and let it runs it's natural course.  If I didn't work and could take naps, I'd still suffer and deal with it.  Not the case.  Have to be on my toes at work.  Quality of life was bad.  Climara saved my life.  It was a tough decision but I tell you, it works.  I feel human again!"


"Soma has saved me for 12 years now.  The first one I took back then put me out like a light, but now I'm on 3 a day and can still function.  I've never "craved" it and it is fabulous for fibromyalgia."


"I started using Oracea along with Metrogel 2 weeks ago and I've already noticed a significant difference.  The little bumps that were all over my cheeks and forehead are almost all gone.  My skin is so clear now and I've received numerous compliments on it.  I plan to continue using it and hopefully with continued results.  I would recommend this to anyone suffering from the embarassing effects of rosacea."


"I have been taking Darvocet for a while now. I take it for cramps, my horrible migraines, and now my horrible herniated disc which is pressing on my nerves and giving me terrible pain in my legs. I can't sleep without taking it and find it truly helpful to get me through the day. This back pain is the worst and I'm just happy I have something to help. I can't imagine having to go on without it and be in this much pain."


"Unisom definitely makes good on its word. Within about 15-30 min after taking a pill, drowsiness comes into play, with sleep following soon after. Expect irritability. Especially when someone or something is causing you to come in and out of your sleep. After waking, expect 4-5 hours of drowsiness, and at least 5-8 hours until all side ffects clear."


"I have taken for 2 days now it only made it so I cant breathe out of my nose and my ears and hearing are bad I feel almost deaf."


"I am on my 3rd month close to the sugar pills and I have been spotting for the past week and a 1/2. I've gained 10lbs, experience pimples here and there, mood swings, and a decrease in sex drive! I'm not sure if I like the pill yet or not b/c my body hasn't had time to completely adjust. I hate the spotting and cramps but my breast did grow and the 1st few months on it was great. I think I'll try another pack to see if my body adjusts."


"I've had outbreaks on my lips for over 25 years. At the age of 30 I'm told to try taking a pill at the first sign, only couldn't find a doctor to prescribe me any until AFTER I broke out so they could SEE I actually had one. Finally I found a doctor and now I take 200 mg every third night and a full 400 mg if I even think I'm getting a sore. So far so good, no outbreaks in 3 years. Love it. No side effects either!"


"Nasacort was good news/bad news for me. The past year I've had terrible post nasal drip that my Zyrtec and Astepro were not taking care of, so I added the Nasacort. I had terrible coughing attacks day and night. In a few days on this spray, the drip is so much better and coughing much less. The bad news is this usually fun loving, peaceful, yoga type, meditating, tree hugger kind of girl wants to pick a fight and punch someone in the nose. Steroids! I can't take steroid pills, but my doc insisted this was not absorbed by the body. I think it's safe to say he was wrong. It's the middle of the night and I'm pacing the floor. My apologies to the person I pick a fight with today. At least my nose won't drip on you."


"I've taken this medicine for nearly 15 years for debilitating migraines. I am not addicted to Fioricet. I do not get rebound headaches. When the pain is gone, it's gone. I have bad arthritis in the neck causing a combination of migraine and cluster migraines. I've taken every possible anticonvulsant combo and tried all kinds of migraine relief drugs and OTC's.  Nothing takes the pain away like Fioricet.
I take zonsiimide as a prophylactic now along (along with Fioricet as needed). The frequency of headaches have decreased with age but nonetheless still occur.

Fioricet will now not be covered by insurance company. This is appalling. Really? Because of what? Addicts?
Why are we penalizing those who need it by making them pay full price?"


"I was on Junel FE 1/20 for almost 3 years mainly to treat my Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and for birth control. I took it consistently and I never got pregnant during this time and my cysts did get smaller. I also noticed that I gradually got less acne to the point where I only have 1 or 2 breakouts per month now (but I had acne before I even started the pill). My breasts grew 1 cup bigger for the first 2 years. However, after the 1st year, I noticed that my periods became very light and I would miss my periods for consecutive months. I noticed that my breasts went back to its original size during the third year. Also, I lost my sex drive in the third year due to dryness in my vagina, so I decided to switch."


"This is THE worst product EVER!!! Do not waste your money. Go to your doctor instead. Hours after putting the little ball of medication into my vag oh my goodness!!! I was in so much discomfort! My va-jj was on FIRE!!! It burned so bad I almost cried. And it didn’t go away either. Nope! Instead, it got progressively worse over the following 2-3 days. Not only that but it made my lady bits swell up!! I was a swollen, burning mess. It was worse than having an actual yeast infection! I’m beginning to wonder if the makers of this medication are a bunch of dudes and they are playing a sick joke on all of us women!""


"Worked but had to stop because my kidney creatinine level was too high."


"I have always battled acne my whole life. I've been on Spironolactane for 2 months and I'm seeing great results on my skin. I am concerned that my menstrual cycle just won't stop! I had my normal period which is 6 days.  I went one week without a period and then started again for 11 days, then off for 5 days and then started again.  I'm on day 9 of bleeding.  I don't want to take any other meds.  Does this get better?"


"Very expensive though."


"I am 16 years old and my acne has been a problem for a little over 6 months. I was previously on Acticlate for about 2 months which did not help my skin much and had terrible side effects like vomitting. My dermatologist switched me to Oracea 40 mg and I was hopeful. The first week on it, my skin became so much worse and I wanted to get off of it. However, after that first week, my skin began to clear up and now only has a few red spots. This medication works great, you just have to push through the first week and remember that things get worse before they get better. I also love Oracea because it has no side effects on me which is great."


"I have had high blood pressure for over a year and just started taking Hyzaar 2 days ago and already my blood pressure is 125/75.  This is at least 20 units drop in each number and I have not experienced any side effects yet. I feel a lot better."


"IT WORKS! I took it one hour after the condom broke and had my period 5 days later! If you take it sooner than 24 hours, you're absolutely guaranteed that it'll work! So stop worrying. You may have more discomforts than normal, but actually, I had no cramps at all and no aching! I always had them for the first two days. Lucky me! Ladies, it works."


"I had a Staphylococcus Aureas infection. I had to take 4 times a day for 10 days, do recommend a probiotic. Had chapped lips and drainage of the scalp from staph infection, however after 2nd day, oozing did stop, after day 4, chapped lips went away. I did experience a heat rash and some intense cramps and bloating, but my skin did clear up really well, all my acne cleared. Did experience some nausea and diahrrea. Overall it took care of the problem for the time being but I finished my treatment last week and my chapped lips are back."


"After my 4 th child I went with the para guard not fully decided on if/when we'd have more kids. 10 years gave me plenty of thinking time :)

My 4th just started kindergarten and I was thrilled to have a schedule with free time for once.

The day before school started I found out I'm pregnant!!

I immediately went to the doctor to have it removed but it isn't an easy pull. They couldn't find the string. It shows on an ultrasound still attached but attached right at the pregnancy. Too risky to remove.

I just had a follow up ultrasound to be sure the pregnancy is viable at 7 weeks and discovered TWINS!!

I know, sounds like a funny prank. It's true. I'm pregnant with twins and the IUD is still attached! Found outMy sis is preg too IUD in place!"


"I've been taking this birth control for 5 years and love it. I never had any side effects. I took Loestrin first and hated it, bad mood swings and increased appetite so I immediately switched to Sprintec and was completely happy. I recently had to switch to a new pill due to spotting between periods."


"I was taking baclofen for a few months, when I noticed it made me sweat like crazy. It seems that after the initial start of the medication, it just became ineffective. I felt relief for the muscle tightness and random spasms, but now I don't want to take it because it makes me sweat so much. I am hoping I can try Soma. There seems to be a lot of positive reviews."


"I have mainly taken 36 mg doses of Concerta from middle school through 25 years old. I start the morning with 10 mg Ritalin then take Concerta 3-3.5 hrs later. Due to its appetite suppression, I come home weak from hunger after 9 hrs of work, but my mental focus keeps me going and I get irritable if something gets in my way. If I give in to my weakness, I will slump on the couch and think about all the things I need to do. I never fully rest mentally, though it alleviates some of the hyperactivity. I have severe ADHD that affects my friendships, marriage, and helpfulness. My aunt switched to Adderall from this because it helps you initiate tasks, which Concerta doesn't. I will try Vyvanse, which is extended release Adderall."


"I took Paxil 20mg for 8 years. It is excellent for depression, anxiety and social anxiety. I completely lost all anxiety, shyness and experienced relaxed euphoria. I excelled at work and dealing with people. However it is very sedating, I would drink coffee all day while on it. I look back on those 8 years and it all seems like a blur.  Sleep very deeply and a lot but at least I was happy. I'm now in my mid thirties and was recently switched to Celexa because I started finding it difficult to achieve orgasm on Paxil.  Bad decision...I now experience anxiety from the moment I wake up, shortness of breath, agoraphobia, terrible and obsessive thoughts, and racing thoughts and a feeling that I am going crazy. I'm going back on Paxil."


"Zoloft is a life saver, I was depressed and suicidal since the sixth grade, and in 10th grade had a suicide attempt that ended me up in a hospital. About 2 months on Prozac,  which is horrible (for me), I was put on Zoloft 50mg and have recently been brought up to 200mg for depression and 1mg twice daily Xanax for anxiety and panic disorder. I was 16 when I started taking Zoloft and am 20 now, I still have some depression and anxiety but it is at a much lower level than before, and can actually talk to people and no longer feel like I am a complete failure and a nobody; I feel like I have a purpose to life!"


"I was diagnosed with ADD 2 weeks ago, along with depression/anxiety at the age of 33.  My doctor wanted to treat the ADD first thinking the other issue would clear up so he started me on 18mg of Concerta.  The first week I would take one pill, and then this week increase it to 2 pills.  I haven't been on this medication like others have and I am experiencing so many side effects...i.e. nervousness, no appetite, headaches in the morning, cant sleep, paranoid for no reason.  I feel like its doing the opposite of what it should.  The first day I actually was able to just focus on one task and was able to get the laundry done.  I will be talking to my doctor about other medications."


"I started taking this medicine 4 months back. I weighed 140 kgs at that time.  With this medicine I brisk walked for one hour daily, stopped eating oily foods and guess what I weigh 95 kgs now. I lost around 45 kgs in 4 months and I have a target to reach 80 kg. It works but you need to give yourself a tough time too."


"I was given this medication at the gastroenterologist office and it has not worked after 2 days of taking it. I went to the doctor because I have been so bloated. Amitiza has worsened the bloating!!!"


"I been taking this pill for about 8 months and let me tell u what a Nightmare at 32 I thought I had left my acne problems in my teens.. I been depressed crazy anxiety from the bad acne this pill has giving me white heads and cysts like pimples all over my chin.. Don't recommend this to anyone!!!"


"Ugh - Taking this medicine was a big mistake. My Doctor's recommendation turned out to be a bad one. I'm currently 60 days in with  and feel more anxious than before beginning zoloft. There were some days where i didn't obsess over stressful things in my life, but the bad very much out weighed the good. All day long at work i have been feeling like a nervous wreck. Also, know that it will destroy your sex life. My libido is non-existant as of now. This created even more anxiety and stress with the vicious circle of failure. This medicine just made me a frustrated mess. I'm going to look into wellbutrin and try and be hopeful.

Don't waste your time

"


"HELP! Is there a 9-1-1 for the vagina?! Took this b4 bed and woke up 3 hours later like someone said, "your YI isn't bad enough, take this! I've read that most experienced intense burning..I experienced intense ITCHING, far worse than the YI caused..then a little mild burning later...couldn't sleep..horribly uncomfortable..in the end it worked, but DAMN!!!"


"My mother had severe cystic acne 10 yrs though she was a beautiful 29 year old bride in 1957. It is an INHERITED skin disease! I was first of 3 boys and got severe acne that was incurable from my mid teens through to my marriage in 1985. Embarrassing psychologically and emotionally because I felt ugly growing up and afraid to ask girls on dates. Early in career & marriage Accutane was brought to market and attention of my dermatologist who prescribed it for about a year - no guarantee as new drug. 100% success and it cured my dastardly acne!  No significant side effects. Our son got the family skin disease & we had doctor prescribe Accutane which cured his cystic acne too. Thank u Accutane"


"I'm 37 and have anxiety induced erectile dysfunction.  One 10mg pill and within an hour or so I'm rock hard and can perform multiple times a day.  It lasts me for 2-1/2 to 3 days. Great medicine!"


"Saved my life. Saved my mariage. Had Psoriasis and P. arthritis since grade school. Covered me from head to toe 80% Started Humira at 41. Been on it now for over 3 years. The only side effects I notice is that my shoulder no longer has me crying in tears over the pain and my Psoriasis is gone. Totally gone. Strangely however, in the past year and half the areas I once had persisrant Psoriasis have now turned into freckled pacthes. Some if the freckles are fairly dark. But I'll take some freckles over the he'll I lI've with most my life and make the choice to start Humira all over again. Saved me for sure. Don't even know what I would do if I lost my Humira. Shots are no big deal."


"I have a bulging disc and low back that has displaced nerves.  I live with pain everyday due to fibromyalgia and arthritis, but this back pain is off the charts. Nothing helped.  Just started Neurontin this week.  Makes me feel a little tired, but tends to keep me awake.  So far it has knocked pain down to a level I can live with. If take pain medicine with it, don't feel any pain.  Am noticing my hands feel swollen hope it doesn't get worse as I tend to have the rare side effects on any medicine I take."


"Was effective and liked it but it is expensive and can't afford it.  I had no side effects."


"I'm new to Losartan Potassium, but in the six days I've taken the 25 mg, my heart doesn't seem to be jumping out of my chest, my thinking seems clearer and my overall feeling of wellness is greatly improved.   I don't have a monitor yet, but hopefully in a few days I will be able to confirm my pressure is back to normal."


"I have started taking Seroquel three weeks ago. I've been prescribed 25mg twice a day. I was not able to sleep staying up one day, one night, one day and maybe going to sleep that night or the next. I've been told I have anxiety. That dose wasn't working for my sleep so I started taking 50mg at night as well as the 25mg twice daily. it has worked for my sleep. The only thing is I take the two tablets at night and I don't feel like going to sleep but I switch off sitting down watching T.V. It's like I can't get myself to bed. I wake up a couple of hours later then go to bed and fall to sleep, no serious side effects, no weight gain so far."


"I'm 22, normal weight, healthy. I was nauseous and broke out for the first week. My boobs were basically always tender, but they also swelled (I'm like an A cup, so I saw that as a plus). I have always been an easy-cryer, and it did intensify that. I've always had a low libido so I don't think changed MUCH (although my libido went way up after getting off of Sprintec).
I was sad to have to get off it because I had such minor side effects, but the issue I had was bleeding for 7 months. It was light- I went through about 2 panty liners per day and didn't need to sleep in anything- until the last week when I got fed up. I bled so much that I was blacking out and feeling sick. I stopped cold turkey and got headaches but the bleeding is over!!!"


"I have ferocious allergies to all kinds of plants, mould, dust, etc.  One of my most annoying symptoms is drainage in the back of my throat.  Taking benadryl or some other "drying" agent results in the drainage forming into a very unpleasant glob on the top of my soft palate, which can be very difficult to dislodge.

My allergist's RN recommended guaifenesin for the problem, and it works wonders.  Specifically, it tends to keep the drainage more liquid, making it easier to expel (although getting it out still sounds quite gross ...)"
