"I have a Paraguard is great, it also has some big side effects such as super heavy (HEAVY) bleeding, long periods, and horrible cramps. I think the other side effects was my body experienced a lack of progesterone due to having the Mirena before, so trying to balance out.  8 months in with no relief, my doctor gave me microgestin which I have consistently taken at the same time daily for the past 40 days... I have also been bleeding for the last 39 days.  I think everyone is different, and I specifically need a higher dose pill as this is a low dose so I just switched over to Chanteal so hopefully that helps. No relief from headaches and acne on this pill though, and made bleeding worse!"


"I tried Detrol LA for quiet some time, but still had "accidents". I switched to VESIcare and have not had any accidents. I have been taking it for over a year now and I am very pleased with the results."


"After taking this drug for a few days it has helped me alot, this is the only drug that help my depression, it is also excellent for sleep once you've taken 15mg you'll be asleep within an hour, made me more hungry but well worth it for how it helped. I've tried lots of anti depressants and this is the only one that worked, unfortunately after a year on this it stopped working now I'm in need of finding a new drug to help"


"I was put on 25mg twice daily of topiramate.

I had horrendous side effects, I managed to take this drug for 2 weeks however after the first week I had to decrease my dose to 25mg as day as I hadn't slept properly for nearly 4 days. I completely lost my appetite. I had terrible mood swings and irritability. I found it extremely difficult to concentrate and struggled remembering things. My doctors told me to persevere with this drug as I wasn't getting migraines with the 50mg dose but couldn't tolerate the side effects. After being on 25mg for a few days I woke up one morning and near enough collapsed and felt very unsteady on my feet, went to see my doctor and they took me straight off it due to a bad reaction."


"I left a review a month after I was on this pill and gave it a 10/10. Now after three months, my opinion and experience has changed entirely. 1. I have never had a yeast infection and I am 99% sure I had one and it is finally gone after a couple of weeks. 2. My periods are painful and heavy. 3. I am currently experiencing heavy bleeding while having a week left of my pills (i.e. I'm not supposed to be on my period until next week).

I am very concerned and am calling my gyno tomorrow to switch pills immediately. I loved the pill I was on a year ago (ortho tri cyclen lo) so I think I'm going to look into it again.

Please disregard my last review under Lindsey S."


"This medicine gave me a panic attack shortly after I took it.never took it again"


"I absolutely LOVE this pill. I have been through a lot of rough patches with my health, involving ovarian cysts, hirustism, hormonal cystic acne, and painful and heavy periods. When I first tried birth control in college, I was put on Aviane. It cleared up my skin to porcelain-like results within the first month, it regulated my cycle like clockwork, helped me shed unwanted weight, improved my sex drive, and even increased my breast size (bonus) from a small 34B to a full 34D cup. I am 5'4" and 130 pounds, so this effect only helped my self-esteem! I went off Aviane a few years later after my gyno took out two cysts in 2012, and since then I tried about 6 other pills, from Yaz to Sprintec to Lutera. NOTHING compares to Aviane!"


"This is amazing. Never had sores until in my 20's and the first outbreak and several after that were horrifying...entire top and bottom lip covered in enormous sores at least ten on top and ten on bottom. I couldn't eat or drink unless from a straw it was that bad.I couldn't leave the house or people stared like I was a monster. Got an rx for valtrex and if I feel the tingle I take 2 pills then another 2 pills 8/12 hrs later I forget which it is, and I immediately dab abreva on (always with tissue I never directly touch the sore) and continue to apply it every few hrs as it states on package. Usually they may look like a tiny pimple and thats as big as they get then they just disappear. Valtrex alone doesn't help me I need abreva too. Great stuff!"


"This medicine works good for my back and leg pain. Thanks"


"I think this is a great, low-dose form of birth control which is excellent for women (myself included) who were at first cautious about the use of hormones and but not quite ready for an IUD. You must be comfortable inserting it into your vagina and taking it out. It can be removed during sex for up to three hours, but if you are taking it out daily, multiple times per day, another form of birth control might be good for you. Side effects: tender breasts, breast growth. No mood swings for me. Some cramping around my period that is mild and lasting longer than it used to when I was not on hormones. All in all I highly recommend Nuvaring. My partner does not feel it. Oh, the progestin also increases cervical mucus which provides more lube."


"I take Morphine Sulfate, 30mg;bid. I take Morphine for an incurrable brain disease. I take 3 narcotic medications for the absolutely unbareable pain I experience 8 times per day, at the exact same time. The Morphine IR 30mg. takes about a 1/0th of the pain away in about 20 minutes. If no relief in 20 minutes I take one more. For me Morphine IR 30 mg. is a good choice, it works fairly well, and does not interact with my other medications, which are many."


"Was on lexapro for maybe 3 years for panic attacks and anxiety. That made me kinda numb. Not really any sex drive, I used to sweat at night with lexapro, it  helped with PA & A, but gained weight, and raised cholesterol levels dramatically!

I asked to start welbutritin to quit smoking and slowly tapered off lexapro. I'm now taking .5 lexapro maybe 2 times a week till brain zaps disappear.....

Now on to the welbutritin... 3 months of Xl 150 a day in the morning, I lost ten pounds! Feel amazing.... And the sex drive is Wonderful. Until I started Wellbutrin I didn't realize how much lexapro affected that because, you just don't think about it, that's part of the numbing I guess.

I'm very happy that I switched!"


"I had a random herpes zoster outbreak (shingles) on my back and was prescribed 800mg 5x day for 7 days. It dried up my blisters within two days and I healed nicely. I did however have headaches and dry mouth with severe nausea and vomiting the last two days on the medication. Those are side effects and being that I was on a strong dose, these side effects really affected me."


"I have been taking Brisdelle for 7 months. I wanted to give it a fair chance.  I had fairly severe hot flashes but no other problems relating to menopause.  I went from having about 15 hot flashes a day to about 10.  The severity was a bit better but I still had a lot of sweat with each flash especially at night.  It was very expensive and my health plan didn't cover it so I came off.  Weaned myself off very slowly over a six week period.  The withdrawal is pretty severe.  Feelings of vertigo and dizziness.  Nausea and zaps."


"I feel great! I have had a positive effects from this medicine as well. My appetite has gone away a little bit but that's okay. I still eat when I'm hungry. As far as sexual mood being affected mine wasn't. I have energy also."


"I had the implanon for three years and it did the job well. Didnt get pregnant and had barely any side effects. Since getting the nexplanon.. never again. After few months constant bleeding lasting more than a month at times. Irregular bleedimg and spotting. Constant headaches effecting work and stopping me getting enough sleep. The GP advised i keep taking paracetomol ... not helpful. I didnt get acne but never have suffered with  it. However, the mood swings are out of control and i can feel myself getting angry over nothing at times. I have had episodes of depression and crying and i am usually a very happy person. This implant messes with the body."


"I had sex with my boyfriend maybe a week after my period ended. He didn't ejaculate in me, but The condom broke. I'm 18 and he's 17 and neither one of us  drives. Meaning, We had no way to get the pill the first day we had sex, so I ended taking the pill 2 days later. I was scared that it wasn't going to work since I had taken it so late, but I was wrong. Since I had a long time til my next period,  that made it even worse. I was having slight stomach cramps, dizziness, nausea , and one day I slept all day and was still tired when I woke up. By this time I was almost positive I was pregnant, but I came on my period a week early it started out with light bleeding like implantation bleeding But then gradually got heavier. Praise the lord."


"I started taking farxiga after not being able to control type 2 diabetes . I was taking Janumet . Since I been on farxiga for 3 months it had given me yeast infections, sore throat, runny nose and frequent urination . I am going to speaks to my Dr to see if I can try somethings else the side effects are so scary and bothersome ."


"This made me very angry and loss of hair, hostile and wanting to hurt myself."


"I started taking Yasmin to clear my skin. I had history of migraine with aura but haven't had it for the last 6 months. Second month taking Yasmin I had 3 migraine attacks in one week and ended up in ER. I stop taking the pills immediately"


"I started this medicine mainly to regulate my period and help with cramps (it was initially very helpful with the cramps but got less effective over several years). It also helped clear up my skin. I had pretty positive results with Gianvi all around. Unfortunately I was switched to Vestura, which seems the same but it is really hard to swallow the pills. Their edges are sharper than Gianvi."


"I am very pleased with Lysteda. My OBGYN prescribed this med for my heavy periods I've been suffering with since I had a tubal ligation in 2007.   I have just completed my first cycle and I pleased to say I FINALLY HAVE A LIGHT TO REGULAR FLOW PERIOD. THANK YOU FOR THIS MED..LIFE SAVER!"


"Had to stop taking it--it made me light-headed and extremely tired."


"Only on day 4 of Pristiq, 50 mg, but definitely feel a difference. Yesterday was the first day I didn't feel like getting through the day was going to kill me. Had a miscarriage 3 1/2 weeks ago, but always had disthymia (clinical depression.) Tried everything you can imagine before. Celexa helped but stopped working a year ago. Also gained weight due to antidepressant. I've lost a pound or so this week since starting Pristiq, and I don't feel so hopeless and sad since yesterday. I am smiling again, laughing again and making jokes. I'm not feeling as happy as I know I can, but I've only been using Pristiq for 4 days. I'm looking forward to continued results. Side effects? If there are any I haven't noticed as I'm still dealing with miscarriage."


"I wanted to share my experience in combining Lyrica and Neurontin for neuropathy symptoms;

I've had fibromyalgia for 25 yrs. Neurontin was effective, but only at 1800 mg./day, which left me

drowsy (fell asleep anytime I wasn't moving). My MD switched me to Lyrica (75 mg), but when I got to 3 per day, I rapidly gained weight - 10 lbs. in 2 wks!

As a med student, I knew the two meds worked in a similar way and were metabolized similarly.  I decreased the Lyrica to 1/ day, which stopped the weight gain, but didn't control the nerve pain, so I added back in one 300 mg. Neurontin per day (both at bedtime, to minimize drowsiness) - still not enough pain control. I added another Neurontin, and that was optimal for me. I take it all at bedtime."


"I took Effexor for about 2 years for my panic disorder and it was a huge mistake! Effexor caused me to have violent out burst which I never had before the medicine, increased aniexty and suicidal thoughts.I thought I was doing good on the Effexor but everyone around me saw a complete change in me and it was bad. Almost 1 month  ago I was sick for 3 days and was unable to keep my Effexor down from being sick so without knowing withdrawal began which included manic behavior, crying spells, nausea, brain zaps and a suicide attempt that landed me in a mental hospital and while there detoxed from the Effexor and put on new medicine. I know Effexor has worked for a lot of people but I wanted to share my story so people will research before starting"


"I have been taking this for 5 days but my side effects are horrible. The drug is working so well I'm trying to push through. First two days I had a really bad headache and was so nauseous it was really bad. The nausea left but then on the 3rd day a severe rash developed. It has been miserable. I'm going to give it another day or two because my appetite is so much less than it's ever been. It's almost shocking. I have to make myself eat. Really hoping the itching goes away."


"Severe bloating , abdominal pains. When it does work , I get diarrhea along with cramps.  I actually think this made me more constipated."


"Made me feel really numb emotionally as well as sexually... I felt like I couldn't cry or be anxious anymore but I couldn't laugh, really be happy or feel passion for life anymore.  Please be careful if you decide to go off this medication as you will probably feel strange electrical-like buzzy feelings in your brain as I did. They last a few days but were every unnerving and I sometimes felt like I was going to pass out.. So be sure you don't go cold turkey.  It did work for me in that it gave me a break from my obsessions, sadness, worries. And it did so for a long time. "


"I was very excited to get this put in because many other women had great results with it.  Unfortunately, this was not a good fit for me. At first it was great, I wasn't having a period (for about 3 months), I did have occasional spotting but it didn't bother me.  Then after a few months it was getting progressively worse.  I started having my periods closer and closer together until they just didn't stop.  I constantly feel tired, to the point where I do not want to get out of bed, I have no energy to do anything and I want to eat everything. I have lost a few pounds since starting this, but my weight does fluctuate so I am not sure if it is the birth control.  My friends have noticed a difference in my mood also."


"I started taking this a month ago and my skin has cleared up quite a bit but the downsides are too many. I have had breakthrough bleeding (which was expected so not such an issue) but extreme mood changes within just a few weeks. I feel negative constantly and so unbelievably tired, the worst part of all is the nausea. I am nauseous all the time and am having a really hard time doing normal things like working out. I did not gain any weight and have lost my appetite due to the nausea. I went on this medication to help with migraines and admittedly have had fewer but the other side effects aren't worth it."


"I had sex on Monday with my boyfriend. I went and got plan B. I had used it on one other occasion and it worked AMAZING! I had no side effects except that I was super tired. When I took it the first time, my period came about a week after. I was so ecstatic. I truly love this. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. I know that it doesn't work for some people and everyone's different. Don't use this as an excuse for unprotected sex. This won't work for everyone. ALWAYS be safe."


"I tried the lower doses & never worked. Finally I tried the 3 pill dose & it worked. I took 3 pills a few different times thinking maybe it was worse because of something I had eaten before taking the laxative. Nope! They are just horrible. I only gave a 6 because yes, it does work. But the stomach pain is TOO MUCH. I've taken the pills at 6:30am & by 10am I'm in serious pain & running to the bathroom! I have to have a full 24hrs before I leave home because it literally cleans everything out all day. It makes me go 4-8 times in 24hrs. I'm wondering if myself & others may be severely allergic to an ingredient inside the pill? Ask your doctor before use, pls!!"


"I just started Byetta 4 days ago on 5mg and will increase to 10mg in a month. I have been taking 45mg of Actos before starting Byetta. Actos did bring my glucose into the mid to low 100's just as Byetta does, but I have loads more energy on Byetta. I didn't realize that I was dragging because I lost my energy slowly over the years. After 2 days on Byetta I appreciate feeling just normal again. I love Byetta."


"I was suffering from such bad anxiety that I felt desperate. I wanted it gone so I waited the six weeks it took to get into a psychiatrist. She prescribed me Buspar and within the first day the meds started to kick in. I took the first dose and then the second as she prescribed me 5mg twice a day to start. I could feel the chemicals in my brain changing and suppressing the anxiety and it was a relief! Let me warn you though, anyone with true anxiety also suffers from depression too so once the anxiety is taken care of with Buspar the depression comes on so much stronger! I'm on Zoloft and Buspar. Used to just be on Paxil until it stopped working."


"I found it lowered my BP  but I had  swelling of face and neck and legs.   Deciding if I should keep taking."


"I have Fibromyalgia and it does help.  Because fibromyalgia is a different sort of beast it helps some but does not knock it out.  However, it reduces pain very quickly.  Using more at one time or more frequently does not bring the pain down any more.  It did not work that much on my wrists and hands where carpel tunnel is "suspected" but they are not certain what it is.  Some other pain on hand and arm were helped but not overly so."


"I have been on Tricira Lo (generic brand) for 2 months. This is my first time on bcp and my reason was primarily to prevent pregnancy & reduce acne. During ovulation, I would always get a handful of pimples on my forehead.

So far, there have been no significant improvements in my acne. I still get flare-ups, but now they occur during the 3rd & 4th (placebo) weeks. I'm hoping to see some results during my 3rd month on bcp.

Otherwise, there have been no major side effects. I have had ~5lb weight gain, with some breast tenderness during the first month. Some increase in breast size, but I would say it's been less than 1 cup size. I was also very tearful during the first month, but that is no longer an issue."


"My boyfriend has severe social anxiety and depression, which usually left him isolating for an entire week in a dark depressed mood which happened every 10-12 days or so. He started taking Celexa about a week ago and has been feeling wonderful! He is smiling again and is able to go out and have a great time! And as far as sex goes, he is BETTER than before. So no complaints here. Of course I was concerned with side effects in the first week: nausea, diarrhea, headaches and hallucinations, but that all disappeared after the first week. Now its smooth sailing. Thank God for Celexa."


"Was sick of being sick. Reglan worked fast. Wish I had it sooner."


"Chantix worked for me although the side effects were no fun for me. I was a pack day smoker for 9 years. Chantix took my cravings and desire to smoke. Experienced vivid dreams, stomach pains, dry mouth and extreme hunger. I stopped taking it after two weeks. For about a month after taking it, I experienced severe depression. I had forgotten that was a symptom so i could not recognize what had caused this until my depression was over. I have never struggled with depression and this took a toll in my work and the way I related with people around me. I started smoking again a month later. Planning on giving it one more chance and this time, Ill be able to RECOGNIZE it. Good luck everyone."


"I don't think this is working.....Now I have Psoriasis all over my hands!!!  this is also supposed to be used to TREAT PSORIASIS!!"


"I'm on week 4 and so far so good. The 1st injection was done with my nurse and went smoothly. About 3 days later, I started to experience extreme nausea anytime I ate something, so I didn't eat much the first week. My BS dropped from 300 to about 180.  The 2nd shot didn't go in as easily and kind of burned, but I wasn't as nauseous that next week. I had an idea that I probably did something wrong during that injection and my blood sugars doubled that second week. The 3rd shot I was really careful to pinch my fat and make sure it wasn't muscle and that time went smoothly and didn't burn at all. Wk 3 BS dropped to 105-140. I messed up Wk4 again and the shot burned and this time I got a bump. I think it was too close to the last injection site"


"My doctor convinced me to try Nexplanon after years of extremely heavy and prolonged bleeding. I tried many types of oral contraceptives to control the bleeding but nothing helped. I had nexplanon inserted and had spotting for 3 months, my doctor said it would quit within 6. It didn't, so I was told to wait 12 months. Still bleeding every day, some heavier than others. I still had cysts and side effects similar to birth control. The only thing that stopped the bleeding was additional birth control pills. I kept it because up until 2.5 years I was told it would quit, and constant light bleeding was better than extremely heavy bleeding I experience on over half of days. The only positives were ease of insertion and effective birth control."


"When my dentist first prescribed Valium for my TMJ, I was quite surprised. I had no idea of the correlation of TMJ and Valium.  In my case, the Valium works like a charm, I just take as needed when I feel my muscles tightening on me (which will inevitably lead to a TMJ-migraine).  The only downfall is that I have to wait until night to take it because it completely wipes me out into dreamland."


"Savella has been life changing for me. When I initially started the titration pack I had no issues. When moving to the 50mg twice a day, the 1st couple days were rough. So, I moved to taking 25mg in the morning and 50 mg at night. I have only had a couple of very tolerable side effects since (flushing and sweating more than normal). These side effects are more than worth it. I have my life back for the first time in more than 4 years.

One thing that is really important is taking it with food and around the same time each day. The difference in my life has brought me to tears (of joy). I would recommend this to others. Don't give up if at first it didn't work for you. Try again and stick with it."


"This birth control was great for me. I went from an a cup to a d cup on it though. No weight gain etc. It was pretty easy on my emotions and I wish I could find it again now."


"I use this for PTSD, anxiety, nightmares, etc.  I have previously tried almost every other anti-depressant and anti-psychotics.  A low dose of prazosin has done the trick.  I sleep almost 8 hours uninterupted. I went from full blown panic attacks to moderate anxiety.  I actually have a quality of life now.  If your situation sounds like mine try it.  It may give you your life back."


"I would recommend this pill to anyone! I started taking adipex 37.5 mg only last week, and i am already down 15 lbs. thats crazy! It doesnt make me want to eat i actually have to remind myself sometimes to eat. And i was always the girl with food in her hand. I havent done much excersise just walking on nature trails. Bit for anyone wondering if it actually works, the answer is yes!"


"I only been taking this drug for two months.  When I had my period it was worst than before. Didn't get my period the second month. My major issue is my rage/mood swings. I am not the type of person to be angry on the daily. Also I started with no ance. I would get a pimple here and there. The second month I started to see a few. It does take more than a couples of months to help the acne. I started to take this drug to not get pregnant and for my acne."


"I got the depo shot January 2nd 2016 after repeated miscarriage to allow myself time to heal before trying to conceive again. I have now bleed for over 5 MONTHS! Non stop! I've gone to reproductive clinic which is costing a fortune just trying to stop the bleeding with progesterone treatment and nothing is working! My work up is normal no thyroid issue or other causes. It is the depo shot , I wasn't told by my pcp that this could happen! I will never be able to conceive like this. I feel so robbed . I had one shot only"


"Severe stomach pain & dierria"


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD at age 5 and was put on Adderall. After about a year I took him to be tested by a psychiatrist. He diagnosed him with borderline personality disorder and put him on Risperdal. After just 1 month I have a new son. My son is still a handful but now in a good way. This drug worked wonders."


"I got my Liletta September 2016. I was a little scared that day and I thought they where not going to insert it because I had my period. But my doctor said it is better to insert when your on your period. It was fast and minor pain. I had painful cramps for one hour that day only. For the next 3 months my cycles where normal and everything good. But for the past 2 month's I started having some discomfort. Hot flashes , back pain, mood swings, fatigue ,chest pain, very low sex drive and minor depression . The worst is the hot flashes. I've done Thiyroid , estrogen, pregnacsy test and others. All the results are good. I don't know if it's the Liletta it's the only recent change l have done."


"I had my nexplanon inserted in Jan of this year. 2016. It's now June and luckily I get it out 1 week from today and am getting my tubes tied and endometrial ablation(so I don't have period) due to the side effects of this. Like others stated it is effective in not getting you pregnant BUT I too am like a lot of others who have a period constantly with maybe 1-2 days off after about 2 straight weeks then back on. It's inconsistent and I'm always on. That's not the only HORRIBLE part... SECOND, it's super heavy. Like gushing within 30 min of a changing tampon. I have to wear super tampons (which hurt) and a pad and I still end up changing underwear all day! My husband is just as frustrated as I am. I'm moody. Migraines. Backaches. Horrible!"


"I had a very bad reaction to Dyazide for high blood pressure.  After 3 days, I was overwhelmed by disorientation, heart palpitations, muscle cramps in my feet and legs, dizziness, and nausea.  Although I was drinking a great deal of water, I was found to be severely dehydrated with electrolyte imbalance."


"I've tried over 15 drugs for anxiety/depression. This is the only medication that worked. It works instantly.
I wish it was prescribed long term for anxiety/depression. To avoid getting used to it and needing higher doses, I would take as need needed a few days a week. I think I used 100mg."


"I find Flexeril 'tops' for killing muscle pain associated with spasm, knots and/or injury. Compared to Valium (which I also have) the Flexeril does a better job for the actual pain & spasm. However, Flexeril does have heavy side effects which could discourage first time users:
- Dry mouth and eyes.
- A 'tight feeling' of the upper chest & bronchioles (very similar to what a high dose of Benadryl does).
- Slightly blurry vision.
- A substantial drowsiness which, for me, occurs about 4 hours after taking the dose. It becomes a struggle to stay awake.

Definitely never go above the recommended dose - because of the harsh side effects."


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


"My 7 year old was placed on this for ADHD. Although it did wonders for his academic progress as if a light was instantly turned on. His personality changed. He went from occasional outbursts to full blown temper tantrums, hitting, swearing. Like he was posessed by the devil. He couldn't sleep for days. Needless to say he is off it. We are now trying foclain. Not as many emotional problems. But not as focused. We'll hopefully find the right one."


"Had neuropathic pain in right upper jaw after dental work. Tried many different medicines including tricyclic's eventually put onto Lyrica went up to 900mg as well as Endep 40mg. Couldn't tolerate Endep, worked my way back down to 600mg Lyrica and after 6 months the nerve pain is tolerable. What I didn't' realize was all the side effects that I now believe stems from Lyrica, severe bloating, sore eyes, memory loss, word problems, hand and feet pains, plus more. I have now found that it makes little difference between 75 or 300mg for pain relief. I have difficulty sleeping without any, 75 will eventually help but 300 gets me to sleep faster. After reading so many people complaining about the same side effects, I will be seeing my Dr."


"After years of not being able to fall asleep or stay asleep and after trying Lunesta and Ambien I was tired. Sonata works great for me and I don't wake up groggy or hung over. I feel great for the first time in my life. I have fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome and it is essential to get sleep. I feel refreshed and ready to go in the mornings.....love it. Thankful my doctor said to give it a try. Hope this helps."


"I was prescribed this for a UTI last week. I took my first dose right before bed, and then woke up at 4am with a horrible headache and an extremely stiff neck.  The symptoms persisted for two days and it was almost unbearable. I would not take this again if my life depended on it."


"my bp goes up when i lay down giving me insomiia. This med helps me go to sleep but not stay asleep and I sometimes have vivid dreams on this med but I still think its worth a try.Iit does provide a relaxing feeling"


"This cleared my acne and prevented pregnancy, but it had way more negative effects than positive. My first period lasted for about three weeks with the worst cramps I have ever had in my life, I had constant headaches, absolutely NO sex drive, always felt exhausted, and I was irritated at little things. I'm glad I'm not on this anymore."


"obscurity.... hard to differentiate between being asleep and being awake...... very uncomfortable..... lost in a fog..... dreams tended to meld into a version of reality but not .... will not ever take unisom again ... not sure if it was a reaction I only"


"I had been taking this for a year, with no side effects. They made me kinda giggly and high but just recently I've been having terrible side effects. I get dizzy, disoriented, anxiety attacks, insomnia and terrible migraines. I had to be taken off of it immediately when it sent me to the ER with dialted pupils/blurred vision , slow heart rate, low blood pressure and the major disorientation"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"They tried to make it taste like cherry, but they failed.  It is not very pleasant tasting. Drank it as fast I could!  Be sure to be near a bathroom for the next few hours. The YUGE urge came on suddenly after 45 minutes and then a few more times.  I gave it 8 stars.  10 because it definitley cleans you out, but minus 2 because it tastes rather awful."


"My sciatica started for the first time about two years ago. I use this to help with muscle spasms down my right leg and in particular in my thigh, but I find it is really more of a treatment of symptoms than the actual pinching. Not that that's bad (it made the pain stop, which is pretty good) but I think the steroids helped actually make the pinching on my nerve relax. Now it's back again, so I'll be headed back to the doctor, but I'm glad to have this muscle relaxer just in case."


"I have been suffering from insomnia caused by  from PTSD after giving birth to my baby girl 7 months ago.  The insomnia started 3 months in and I tried Ambien and Trazadone.  Both managed to barely carve out a few hours of bad sleep a night.  Belsomra gave me my life back.  I am finally able to go asleep and actually stay asleep for a full 7-8 hours a night.  I do still have to take 50mg Trazadone with 10mg Belsomra.  It's the best combination ever.  The sleep is so gentle and natural too and if I have to wake up to use the restroom, no problem and I go back to sleep.  The first 2 days I did have the hangover pretty badly, but it went away after that.  It has only been 2 weeks so fingers crossed it will keep working."


"It's taken me two years to complete, but well worth not being addicted to opiates. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone who has the disease of addiction to pain killers. Your life is worth it, just stick to it! Next thing you know... No addiction. Stay positive and forget the past and move forward!"


"I have absolutely got to give this a 10. I weighed in around 260lbs. Male at 6 foot, even largest I've ever been it's was embarrassing considering I was 185lbs and toned not 10 years ago and after only 6 weeks I have shed 31 pounds and still see a change every few days."


"I have used implanon for 8 years now. I had it removed for a short period to have our first child and will be getting this one removed in 2 days to conceive our 2nd child. Honestly, I cannot complain. I don't get my periods, I don't have mood swings and the weight I gained I lost with a little bit of effort (mind you it was only 5kg). At the end of the day is was a good choice for me as I continually forgot to take my oral contraception. For anyone out there who has the same problem try Implanon."


"I love these. My fiancée has been struggling with intense constipation. She hasn't had a bowel movement other than a few bunny poops in two weeks. We finally decided to do the enema. The top is incredibly easy to push it. She said it was s tiny bit uncomfortable but didn't hurt. I squeezed about 1/4-1/2 into her rectum, at times slowly and other times quickly accidentally before she screamed to take it out and rushed to the bathroom. She's been having a successful bowel movement for ten minutes! That's how much was impacted. And it only took three minutes of this enema to get it out!"


"I'm a 60 yo male and have been on 10mg Lisinopril for around 1 year, along with Coreg CR. The Coreg wasn't doing its job completely so my PC Dr. added Lisinoprel. It dropped my BP somewhat, looking at making some adjustments in the near future. I've had no side effects, except that, from reading the many reviews, developed an occasional deep dry cough ( I thought it was my seasonal allergies). Not sure what my Dr. will prescribe, but the medicine seems to be doing its job."


"I've been taking WB for almost two months for chemical depression.  I started with a feeling of being down, lethargic, disinterested for a long period and in the end, a feeling of being defeated.  I contacted the doctor as I'm generally an upbeat person, but I just couldn't shake this.  I have started losing weight (10 lbs so far, couldn't lose before), am very active, belly laughs and feeling of great joy again.  Only side effect seems to be making my minor PE slightly less controllable."


"I got Skyla put in today. I was prepared for pain during the procedure and some cramps afterward. I get super bad cramps every month (the pain is so bad I often faint and throw up). So I was prepared for the cramps and figured it'd be worth it. The procedure wasn't bad. No worse than my regular cramps. Doctor had me do it within the first 5 days of my period so my cervix would be open. I was not lightheaded, only bleeding I assumed was from my period, and I had no cramps afterward. Maybe that was because she put novocain on my cervix. 5 hours later and I had the worst pain of my life. It felt like she had inserted a knife. Super sharp pain. Lots of trembling and profuse sweating. IB profin no help. Peppermint oil helped a bit."


"21, I got it a week after my second child because  there was no way I was having another,
I've had the implanon for 15 mo. I'm taking it out next week. My periods are all over the place, sometimes I have one for 2 days sometimes I have 2 in a month for a week.
Iv'e gained so much weight, I started eating better and less, I work out for a hour everyday at the gym. And not one single pound has been lost. I can't do it anymore."


"This medication saved my life! I've only been taking it for almost 2 weeks but I was thrilled at the fast response I had to it! I've literally tried almost every other antidepressant without much success for over 20 years - for my debilitating panic disorder/GAD/depression. Thank you to the Dr who started me on this recently while I was hospitalized for a suicide attempt. I can now leave my home without any fear or anxiety; my panic attacks/panic are literally gone! I feel like a new person! The only side effects I've had so far are dry mouth/dry eyes and a bit of tachycardia. It also helps me sleep for once; I take it at bedtime. I was titrated up to the 100mg dose once at bedtime. I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am to have this!"


"At first it was OK. It caused me to not enjoy any foods. All I could drink was water... Everything else made me have nausea.  After a week I tried to increase my dosage as instructed and I got sicker than I have ever been. The worst nausea and headache ever! So I went back to one pill a day but the nausea and headache stayed. Then I almost threw up from the nausea... I've had it. I want no part of it. Yeah I lost -8 lbs buy only because I'm so sick I can stand anything at all."


"Was currently taking Lyrica but having too many electric sensations.  Now on Savella for Fibromyalgia & neurological problems.   Really like it!!"


"I was on Arthrotec for about 2 years and found it to be a great drug, but now have had to go off it because of risk of kidney damage and cannot take any more NSAIDs.  I have been put on Plaquenil and while waiting for it to kick in, have also been put on Prednisone, which has helped tremendously.  Hope the Plaquenil will soon work so I can get off the Prednisone."


"Diagnosed as bipolar with depression and severe anxiety years ago, however my reason for Latuda doesn't quite fit in the "bipolar" category, so I'm posting it here. I have been on another AAP (Zyprexa) for two years, but it doesn't cover all the bases for me. Got to the point where "paranoid thoughts" (as my Dr calls them) dominated a lot of my time. I was blockading my door, wouldn't leave my appartment after dark, etc. Dr added 40mg of Latuda to my cocktail. I don't know how long it took, but one night I realized thatI haven't been blocking the door. Sadly, I gained 15lbs in two months so I tried to quit the Latuda. As soon as I did, I went right back to paranoid me. I will have to deal with the weight (only side effect for me) to keep semi sane."


"As a Cancer survivor ( stem cell transplant 12 years ago) it took a toll on my body.

It wasn't easy talking to my doctor about this but I did.I tried other products but this works the best for me and my situation.

Try it if it doesn't work then move on.

Btw I'm 51 active Married for 30 years."


"Was on Zoloft for a while. Worked great but took about 8 weeks to kick in. Tapered off after one year, but symptoms came back. I am back on it now for 4 weeks can't wait for it to work."


"This medication has helped me greatly with my sleep trouble. I'm on other antidepressants (SSRI) that caused a condition called Akathesia, so I was prescribed this to help me sleep. The SSRI's made me toss and turn at night, giving me a feeling of restlessness. I have been taking it for 5 years at bedtime, anywhere from 25mg to 100mg. The best sleep medication I have taken.

I have tried others - Ambien, Trazodone and Serzone, but none of them compare to the effectiveness of this for insomnia or other sleep troubles. The company who makes this drug should seriously consider FDA approval for insomnia. Also, it's not addicting at all."


"I've been on Aviane for about 3 months and so far it's been pretty good. I've had no weight gain, hardly any spotting, and absolutely no pimples, lighter periods, a few mood swings. I do get migraines which I got before I started the pill and nausea which are both tolerable."


"I had mirena inserted in December 2016 due to very heavy periods.  I have no children and do not intend to.  I'm 45 years old and my periods have not been lighter and my cramps are still awful.  For at least 2 full days on my period I can not sleep through the night.  I have to change my clothes, tampons pad and sometimes the bed sheets. I was hoping this would work but I am losing all hope.  I'm giving it one more month and then going to the doctor again"


"59 yearold female. I've had hep c for 39years. Geno type 1, cleared the virus 11years ago, after taking interpheron and riboviron. Relapsed after 6months. Viral load of 2,000,000 now.

Am now in my 2nd week of Harvoni, and am hopeful.

So far my side effects are irritability, fatigue, and insomnia with occasional night sweats. Feels like menopause, but I  know it's not. So it must be the harvoni.

Hope side effects  will diminish."


"I am on the generic venlafaxine. I've been on it for about a week now. I am now having happy dreams. So far so good, no side effects. I'm also on Geodon."


"Man i was a slave to my back pain for so long because it was a constant reminder of my need for opiates, my constant craving. I finally did something for my self and sought help and was introduced to Suboxone. All i can really say is that after three days it feels like a miracle. I feel like i have a solution, a way out now... Great drug for people who are serious about changing their lives. one and only down side is constiation. Thanks Suboxone!"


"I have both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. I have been dealing with psoriasis for over 20yrs all over my body and head ...always embarrassed and having to wear long sleeved shirts. Those of you that are still looking for something Stelara is worth trying. I love it after trying several other medications this is so far the best. I have found and it helps with both. I haven't had any side effects either. I have a 3yr old and I can finally take him to the park alone."


"I smoked for over 12 years and about 12-15 cigarettes a day and have attempted to stop many times.  The only time I had truly stopped in the past was 7 years ago when I found out I was pregnant.  After having the baby I picked up right where I left off and began smoking again.  I finally decided that I wanted to quit and I have tried many avenues to include; cold turkey and Chantax and all didn't work.  I finally picked up the box and read the instructions and so far today it has been three weeks and I have not once craved a cigarette.  Many of my friends and coworkers smoke and I am around this daily.  I thought that me seeing them smoke or being around them while they smoke would get me to crave one but no.  Very satisfied, thank you!!"


"I have suffered with depression since I was a child but of course I didn't know it then. Alcohol and drugs became my only salvation. Eventually I had to get sober. Still depressed. Had a relapse that lasted 4 years. Sobered up again. 18 years sober and still suffering that back cloud with anxiety on top. Tried Depli 3 months ago. I didn't expect good results since I've taken so many antidepressants over the years. I felt better the first day. I feel like normal people feel. I have hope, motivation, freedom. I am completely happy. I know this has not been everyone's experience, but it's mine, and for that; I'm eternally grateful. If your insurance doesn't cover it file an appeal. If you can pay cash it's only $178 for 3 months or pay monthly"


"I started taking Deplin 2 months ago in addition to the 300 mg. of Wellbutrin I had already been taking for several years. I was experiencing a very low level of chronic depression but generally okay. The doctor recommended I try Deplin to see whether it would increase my level of well-being. I could swear I feel a lot MORE depressed with the Deplin. Nothing has changed in terms of life style over the past few months, so I can't think of any other explanation. Needless to say, I'm going to stop taking it. I had no idea it might worsen my symptoms."


"Lower back was out to the point of 98% incapacitation. Extreme pain on any movement. After 10 days of severe pain that only got worse, I finally gave up ice/stimulation/medicine and went to urgent care... barely able to walk in. Less than 1 hour after a shot of Toradol, I was walking around the pharmacy/store slowly with only light discomfort, and after 24 hours I was 90% better. After all that pain, it seemed like a miracle. Only had the 1 dose."


"I suffer from severe chronic pain nearly 24/7 I have diabetic neuropathy, lymphedema and no circulation in my legs, all combined are pain beyond belief. Tramadol relieves my pain better than any pain meds I have been on."


"I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy while ago and have been started on Modafinil. This does work, but with some side effects, which I tend to find only if I take the whole 100mcg at one go, rather than have it in two's. By separating the whole dose it has helped with the headaches and increased heart rate. I don't take it on a daily basis, but only when I am at work or at Uni. Another brownie point for this medicine is that it definitely curbs my appetite for hours."


"I haven't been on this pill long,  but so far I haven't gotten any migraines, which is the main reason I switched to micronor. I was on Gildess (hate that pill) and had HORRIBLE headaches. I haven't gained weight, and haven't bled at all either. The only problem is that I've broken out on my chest, but that's a lot easier to deal with than headaches. Like this pill so far."


"I have been on this birth control for about a month and a half now. I have had some side effects within the 2nd and 3rd weeks with nausea and getting sick to stomach after I ate and I did get a headache here and there. I have felt slight weight gain but nothing too too noticeable and the first few days I was a complete and total cow but that's gone away very quick. Otherwise this pill is good for me. No serious side effects .i haven't had a period yet since I went on vacation and didn't want to have it because I wasn't sure what to expect but I will have one at the end of this month. But so far so good."


"I find my pvc's respond better to increasing my magnesium.  I take it at night it also helps me sleep better and has a easy laxative affect in the am.  I just converted over from the 50 mg extentabs to 25 mg twice a day,  I'm hoping that the new regimen may be a little better in controlling this soccer game I have going on in my chest. I really think that the magnesium helps the most.  If I don't have better results, I may try just the magnesium without the metoprolol and see if there is a difference."


"I did the study for this drug all 3 phases and have been on it since 2015 and never dreamed it would actually work. Works amazing I had to stop for the transition once the FDA approved this and omg I wake up all hours of the night itching I get hot and itch. I am finally taking it again I can't imagine my life without this stuff"


"I lasted 3 weeks and a bit more on this drug.  If you don't like sleep, love headaches and stomach pain all day every day and to top it all off irritability then this is the drug for you!!!  I went from being my usual calm self to an enraged, confused moron.  Not to mention the heart palpitations.  Maybe just me, needless to say I clearly don't recommend it."


"I've taken just about every pain killer and Norco(10/325) has been the best. It doesn't get me sleepy and kills all of my severe lower back pain."


"I have been using Arimidex for approx. 6 months.  I have had some side effects, mostly hot flashes, and some insomnia.  The hot flashes have gotten better, and the insomnia I just switched the time of day in which I took the medication."


"wondered why the sample Doc. gave me was so small.  Did little to help.  Know I realize it is so expensive, I am sad that my ophthalmologist probably works for more for big pharma, than in my interest."


"I have been taking it for 3 months and I have not really had any side effects from it. I have noticed that the heavy shooting pains I was having in my legs and feet have stopped which is a big relief."


"I got the skyla in July. I had never experienced period cramps or anything before so...the pain I felt after insertion was almost unbareable. I had to lay down in the exam room for half an hour after before I was able to walk out.

I had false labor pains for a good two days after, super heavy periods and bad cramping for a few months.

I do believe my periods are stopping altogether now. I had to have my string trimmed and tucked up inside my cervix due to it being felt too much during intercourse. Had my checkup this month and all is good!

No issues here. I love having skyla!"


"I've been using Jardiance for a year now.  I suppose I should say I used it for a year, but I'm also no longer taking it.  initially I had no problems and it did seem to reduce my blood sugars (tho not substantially), Since December I have had an insane amount of back and hip pain/uti/yeast infections that have rendered my life miserable. I've had very dry mouth/dehydration feelings since the beginning.  Three days off the meds and my hip pain is gone, I no longer have dry mouth and my blood sugars are staying where they've been  the benefit has not outweighed the enduring that misery.   Listen to your body!"


"So, i finally got this thing out today and i wanted to share my experience somewhere. (I am 19)

  Over a year and a half ago i had nexplanon inserted in to my arm. I have never had sex, so it's primary focus was to help me with just overall period regulation. The month after i got this in, my period stopped and still has not came back. I was so upset to give that luxury up with the removal of it. So here is one pro: no period at all for me!

  Unfortunately, the con list is much longer..

I actually do not know why i kept this in so long, bc the way it made me feel was not worth it.  I feel a very heavy gloom over me, my nerves, emotions and anxiety were all going crazy. I gained almost 70 lbs and i have never been unhappier. Not for me..."


"Fabulous drug. Never used anything like this before. Have had erections any 19 year old would be proud of.

Side effects:- girlfriend that wanted sex now says enough. Along with some slight headaches, nasal congestion and flushing of the face. All well worth the results."


"My Doctor put me on basically the fastest titration. 40mg for 4 days then 80mg after that. The first 4 days on 40mg were awful. The worst of the side effects being insomnia. I had to call out of the work for the a few days to catch up on sleep. I could not fall asleep at ALL. The Doc prescribed Trazadone to sleep. That helped after being sleeped deprived for a few days. I've heard of people upping their dose and having the side effects lessen and positive side effects increased. WRONG. First day on 80mg I had crippling nausea, body aches, massive headache, off the chart irritability, burning urination (with white discharge), and thoughts of SUICIDE. No joke. I've read of people having this happen them but it's a rare side effect."


"I have plaque psoriasis and PA for many years now. I was using Enbrel of which in comparison worked miracles. I started Otezla to try something new and not biologic. I was on Otezla for 3 months however, saw very little improvement on my skin and felt my PA became even worst. A finger completely swelled up of which had never happened to me in the past. I also felt more inflammation. The beginning symptoms of irregular bowl movements and major headaches were horrible, but gone after 2 weeks. What did remain up to the last minute were horrible horrible allergies/sinus as if I had a cold the entire time. The longer time on the medication the worst I got. I stopped taking Otezla and all side effects are minimizing. I also felt very depressed."


"I took Tamiflu as soon as I had symptoms (achy, fever, cough, etc.). My husband had just been in bed with the flu for a couple of days and the doctor gave me Tamiflu in case I became symptomatic. Woke up this morning and feel ill but more like a cold. No fever, etc. Not so exhausted I cannot move as without Tamiflu. Everyone I know who has taken Tamiflu has really good results and very little side effects if any. Research on this medication is not so great for probably a variety of reasons. If you have flu symptoms and/or flu give it a try."


"my bottom spinal disks are crooked and rest on my nerves between them. I was on 60mg of Morphine Sulfate Er. and took it for years and asked my Dr. for an increase and he switched me to Opana 20mg Er pills and they helped my back pain and seem to last a little longer between dosage. I am prescribed it twice a day. I seem to have less tiredness than the morphine and I am prescribed 5mg of oxycodone for morning breakthrough pain. Due to my liver condition he won't increase the oxycodone because it makes the liver turn it into morphine to filter it. when I need an increase of the Opana I'm sure he'll give me that because it's a form of morphine and my liver can process it okay. So I hope this helps other people with my condition or similar."


"WOULD NOT RECCOMEND! this product has given me awful breakouts and a month long period."


"I live in the UK and have sufferred with undiagnosed depression until I was 8 years old. Since diagnosis I've bumped along the bottom with little or no real help from my GP's. After 13 years I insisted I was referred to a sleep clinic. I was sent to a Neurologist. He put me on Mirtazapine to help me sleep. It did help greatly and I am now able to get through the day without any overwhelming need to sleep. I was kept on Cipralex whilst I went onto the Mirtazapine and could tolerate the new medication well. I have tried to come off the Cipralex but have not done too well without it. So I remain on 45mg Mirtazapine, 20mg of Cipralex and a vitamin supplemet of 400 iu's per day."


"We love the patch. The results with Daytrana are amazing. He still eats before applying and after taking off, his personality hasn't changed, just his behavior. The only negative thing I can say is the red mark the patch leaves after you take it off, my son always says it itches."


"I took Claritin D this morning because of severe nasal congestion, it was relieved after few hours but the side effects is not good, I can't sleep. I am so tired and want to rest but I am still wide awake until 1am. How I wish, I read the reviews first before taking it..so no more Claritin D...I will go back to Allegra."


"I have been on saphris for three years. I loved how calm and focused I was. But I have gained 60 lbs.  I told my Dr. A million times but she says it doesn't cause weight gain. Well I am very depressed. I exercise I eat very little and I can't lose a pound. Well now I am morbidly obese. And all the stuff I can't do because I'm so big has really got me down. I am weaning my self down and getting off saphris as much as I hate the side effects I am scared to see what my life will look like with out it. Oh my daughter was on it for two months and she gained 18lbs. Why can't we have both sanity and without gaining 50 freaking pounds. Grrr"


"I have been taking this medication for 2 months and let me tell you how stupid I am. DO NOT EVER LEAVE YOUR MEDICATION IN THE HEAT OR HUMIDITY.  I kept leaving my medication in my car because I didn't want my girlfriend's brother to steal it. When Xyrem is left out in the heat it becomes less effective. If my narcolepsy is not treated I become severely bi-polar to the lack of sleep. I almost had to go to the mental hospital before I read a note in my new package proclaiming Xyrems ineffectiveness due to heat. Low and behold, I took my new batch of Xyrem last night and felt decent this morning."


"This is the WORST med ever! There is absolutely nothing "gentle" about it. I've tried it 3 x's & have given up. First the cramps were unbearable, to the point where the pain was so bad I started sweating real bad, my hands were clammy, I was dizzy, I felt like I was dying. I literally almost passed OUT! They need to pull this off the market!"


"My dad takes Lipitor and he is very happy with it. His cholesterol levels are much closer to his target level, with no side effects. "


"Was on this for a year, just stopped last week. I started this pill to help with my cramps because I would be in extreme pain from my periods. Needless to say it fixed my cramps but caused me other problems. Gained 29 POUNDS, yeah 29 & I workout 4-5 times a week & eat pretty well. Redic amount of weight to gain & it DESTROYED my skin. I had beautiful skin, with occasional pimples around my period but this made my skin have acne scars & break out every day. AWFUL. Gave it a 2 because it prevented pregnancy, that's it."


"I wanted to share a review since I was really nervous about going on this pill, especially after seeing all the horrible reviews. My doctor put me on Taytulla because I was borderline hemorrhaging with my periods, bleeding 8-16 oz/day On my heaviest 2 days.

I am just starting my 3rd month. Month 1 was awful, as I spotted almost every day because of the hormone change. Cramps have been the worst cramps I've ever had since I started. No breakouts though. Month 2 my period was so light. Bad cramps, but still no breakouts. Overall I'm happy with how this has flipped my periods around, but hate the cramping. Give it a few month adjustment period before you listen to all the negativity. I will take the cramps because of all the other benefits"


"I have been on Savella for 6 months, 100 mg a day. Savella gives me energy to get through the day. It has cleared the fog and enables me to feel productive. However, I still have a lot of pain. I did not know Savella was supposed to help with pain until today when my doctor suggested doubling the dose for pain relief. I try to be sure to eat a substantial amount when taking a pill or I will feel nauseated. And, like others, I had the night sweats for the first 3 months. Then they kind of went away. I'm hoping the 200 mg will help with pain. I was on Nortriptyline for 6 months and wish I could get those 6 months back. I was like a zombie, sleeping through life and not caring."


"I've had this for over 9 weeks.. no side effects.. didnt make me moody or anything. Except I've been bleeding non stop.. switches from light spotting to almost like post partum bleeding! I'm giving it another month or so and if this bleeding doesnt stop then im getting this out! The reason this birth control works is because it refrains you from having sex because youre constantly bleeding."


"Stabilized my MS symptoms and make it under control

But the medicine already covered by my insurance so far"


"I am 24 years old. Before I started Yasmin, I felt like I was trapped in a 47 year olds body; always tired, moody, angry and never seemed to lose weight. I've also tried every acne product know. None of them work (not for me anyway) until one day I saw a commercial on television, about "Yasmin". After talking it over with my doctor he told me to try it and see. WOW! Let me tell you what happen to me. I kid you not, after the 1st week my face was clear, I mean beautiful. I didn't have to ware any make-up and I lost 10lbs within the first month. And for some strange reason, people don't call me bipolar anymore. I tell you Yasmin works from inside out. It is GREAT."


"Please don't let your doctor talk you in to trying this kind of birth control. I read up and reviews and figured I'd be fine - healthy 25 yr old who had only ever used birth control pills. Nexplanon worked like magic for the first 6 months and then all hell broke loose. I have been the same weight for 7 years and did not change my diet at all when taking Nexplanon, but it caused me to gain 10 pounds. I'm breaking out worse than I did as a teenager because the Nexplanon is suppressing my body's ability to produce estrogen. Because of the lack of estrogen I've also started getting little hairs on my chin. I've also been on my period for TWO months and have started lactating. And no, I'm not pregnant.This birth control is an absolute NIGHTMARE"


"Doctor gave this to me several years ago for depression and it works great. Love the side effect of prolonged sexual performance!"


"After a very bad breakout from a strep infection, this was the only thing that stopped the itch! After using this twice a day for a week (along with UV treatments), I started seeing my psoriasis clear up. And the spray is so much easier to apply."


"Hey Everyone! I am going to try and make my story short. I am 26 years old and did not know what anxiety or an anxiety attack was until I turned 25.  I was driving to lunch one day and for no reason at all it hit me. I felt as if I wasn't in control of my own body. I felt like I was going to pass out at the wheel, my heart began to race and my arms and legs went numb. I drove myself straight to the ER. The doc told me it was an anxiety attack. After that first attack I could not leave my house for two weeks in fear that I would pass out or lose control. I was then put on Lexapro, the first two weeks I felt the side affects..AFTER THAT A true BLESSING!! NO ANXIETY OR ATTACKS IN 2 WEEKS! I FEEL LIKE ME AGAIN!"


"I just started Chantix and am only on day 4, so I am still smoking.  I can tell changes already due to the taste.  I no longer want to smoke, it has been great.  If the rest of the treatment goes to plan I know this will work."


"I was diagnosed with BPD over 12 months ago.. and tried many Anti-depressants, only one worked Valdoxan ( others weight gain, no libido etc ) which seemed to help with suicidal thoughts. I have been on Lamotrgine for just under a  month (50mg) a day and it has really helped with my outbursts and insecure thoughts, my partner says he has noticed a difference. But saying that l feel the dosage should be increased as sometimes l do let my thoughts run away with me, and then we have major problems!"


"Had severe depression..anxiety. .and elevated mood swings for years.just started meds in my early 50s. ..Lexapro..gradual doses..at first began to notice results in all 3 areas..but extremely sleepy no matter what time i took it...it seemed to level off at about 50% effectiveness...than slowly decreased in its effectiveness. .went on Lamo...more energy..but mood swings came back..no patience or tolerance again, forgetfulness...and anxiety. ..rambling thoughts in my head continually. ..I am returning back to my original prognosis. ..didn't find it to be of help at all....up to 200mg...really don't want to keep experimenting...not sure of next step. .."


"I am still in tears from my wisdom teeth popping in, and I was prescribed this medicine which does NOTHING at all for my pain. Aleve helps a little, but I stopped taking these as it don't work. "


"I take prazosin for PTSD-induced nightmares.  It WORKS for me.  Everyone is different but this medication has prevented nightmares and waking up in a panic for me.  I have not had any side effects whatsoever."


"I just got Skyla inserted this morning. I wanted to write this review for anyone who is nervous about the procedure or feels discouraged from all the negative reviews out there about IUDs. I went in expecting the worst pain of my entire life and it turned out not to even make my top 5 most painful experiences. It was painful, but it was not unbearably so, and it was over so quickly. About a minute of being uncomfortable (that included the speculum and the positioning of the cervix) and six seconds of more intense pain (during the sounding and the actual insertion). The pain was like a very bad menstrual cramp. I felt nauseous and faint afterwards, but not too bad. I have had some light bleeding, but barely any cramping whatsoever."


"This iron supplement worked wonders in raising my iron levels, when I had a massive fibroid tumor that was taking the life out of me.  The doctors were ready to admit me for treatment when they saw my levels, but put me on this to begin with, and it worked.  Went on to have a hysterectomy and I'm doing fine now.  This supplement also did NOT cause me to become constipated which has always been my worry with iron pills."


"Bad, could not sleep at all.  Zolpidem is the best."


"I have syringomyelia, post traumatic type 2, thoracic back pain from bulging disks, polyneuropathy and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. I stared having the thoracic back pain in 2013 after a bad car wreck & I had been having numbness in my arms & hands before that wreck made it worse. An MRI discovered the cyst on my spinal cord (syringomyelia) &!the disk bulge.  I am too risky a candidate for surgery, tried other meds they didn't work or had horrible side effects and lost a job because of it. I got put on oxycodone 15 mg 4x a day:it worked great. Then had to switch doctors & got lowered to 50 a month, is cutting me off & if I don't find specialist soon pain & sickness will be unbearable & I'll be bedridden"


"It was the absolute worst feeling in the world!!! As soon as I inserted it into my vagina it started to burn and I was cry so hard. You vagina should never burn that bad. I'll just take the prescription pill instead."


"With genotype 1 Hep C, I took the Sovaldi/Ribavirin/Pegylated Interferon for 12 weeks this past summer. There was 0 viral load after 4 weeks. 0 after 12 weeks, after I had finished taking the drugs for all 12 weeks. After 9 months, the viral load returned at 1,496,000. I engaged in absolutely no behavior that causes Hep C - no needles at all, no sex at all, no drugs at all; I did not drink any alcohol. My doctors' only answer is that the cirrhosis of the liver was so bad (compensated cirrhosis) that not all of the virus was cleansed out of the dead parts of the liver with just 12 weeks of Sovaldi.
I am now on Harvoni for 24 weeks, hoping that the longer regimen of the two drugs - Sovaldi and Ledipasvir - will totally clean out the liver."


"I seriously do not know how this medicine is approved as a stimulant. I suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and shift work sleep disorder. This medicine in no way kept me awake, alert, or focused. If anything I had a complete opposite affect. I felt some sort of brain fog, my performance at work lagged, and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I had no motivation to accomplish any tasks, or get out of bed for that matter. Along with these negative effects I had headaches and nausea. I would not recommend this as a stimulant or something for sharp cognitive effects. But, maybe more like a sleeping pill. I felt like it was a sleeping pill, but struggling to stay awake after taking it. Tried for 1 week."


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


"I have terrible headaches after 2 weeks.   Some are so bad I vomit and have vertigo.  Other days I will have head pain for 12 hours or more.  At least 3 headaches a week now."


"Occasional bloating and spotting, but has worked well overall.  Have used for 1 year."


"Like others, I just simply stopped sleeping. Bang, outta the blue insomnia hit me. No traumatic emotional experiences no depression. My mind WILL NOT shut off. But, Dr still insisted I try antidepressants. I tried several with no help. Then on to the sleeping pills, Trazadone was a nightmare, Ambien, Lunesta, Xanax, no help whatsoever. Then finally, finally, I found a new "OLD" school Dr who actually listened to me. He prescribed Temazepam at 15mg. That didn't work but 30mgs did. I fall asleep quickly, however, I only get 5-6 hours of sleep. And, I'm extremely groggy, all day.... So I've just seen the commercial about Belsorma that I'm going to ask about."


"I was on klopin for anxiety I switched doctors they took me off and but put me on this rubbish med. I have the worst anxiety and PTSD due to going overseas. This medicine made everything so bad. I don't have any damn allergies so why  do I have to suffer because goddamn dope heads.  My night mares and anxiety got worse.  If a doctor writes this for you tell them you want to be treated for anxiety not allergies."


"Before starting the medicine I used to suffer severe acne that literally was a source of anxiety and depression for me. I've finished it now and I am more than satisfied with the results, my face is cleared up and I feel better anyway, I swear this medicine is a miracle my face was covered up with acne everywhere but now I am thankful and I advice everybody who greatly suffer acne with this medicine, deny the side effects, because the outcome is worth it. A MIRACLE"


"So i just had my daughter 1-25-17 and I got this 6 weeks after having her mind you I was still having some bleeding after having my daughter I had 2 weeks after having her then I had my period then I had spotting and now after having this put in 3-17-17. I have NOT stopped bleeding it is now going on a full month of constant annoyance and every time you think it finally stops it comes back heavy. I hate this. It is a annoying piece of plastic"


"I've been on Depo for almost 12 years now. Bled / spotted non-stop for the first 6 months and a little after that. The side effects normalized after a full 12 months. Initially I gained weight by only on the first few months. When it's close to being time for my next injection I get PMS symptoms and every now and then,  I get "unusual" (unusual for me) side effects with an injection but it usually is only for 3 months and goes back to normal with the next one. I do,  however,  experience spotting / bleeding after sex sometimes. I've heard it can be from cervical capillaries that are made more sensitive from the drug but I don't know that there's firm research on it."


"I have been switching from birth control to birth control, trying to find what works the best with my body. Lutera is okay; my acne is manageable, no weight gain/loss, and no depression. I don't like how it makes me nauseous a lot, but maybe that's just with the starting months. I really don't like how it is giving me cramps (I'm nowhere near my period week) and COMPLETELY took away my sex drive. It scares me when a medication gives me a certain reaction, but it scares me even more when the medication takes something away from me that I was fine with."


"Girls, it really depends on your body type and how you process the hormones intake

I am using yaz, and its my first time of ever using birth controll pills, and when i read the reviews here it made me scared and unsecure . why? Because of all the *NEVER TAKE THIS PILL * * IT DOESNT WORK * * IT IS HORRIBLE*  comments. You never know how it is going to work for someone else ..

in my experience yaz has been great since the beginning :

no cramps , no pms , no headache , no nausea ( use it before you sleep or in a full stomach ) , nothing except for a little bloating in the first week and breast tenderness.

hope it works for you too"


"This drug may have helped in the beginning but trying to get off this stuff is a nightmare. I have been on it for pain for 7 years and it is time to get off. My pain is better managed and so I have tried to wean off. Now I am going to try lowering the dose by emptying half out and taking for a month and then removing 3/4 and see what happens. The muscle cramping is horrendous so no way can I just stop it or stop cold turkey. Tried and not able to do it the cramps are debilitating. I have found that the days I do not take it, my constant itching is gone.....Should be some magic solution. This drug needs to be banned!"


"I have been migraine free for 6 months (previously I had 3-4 migraines per month).  I also lost 25lbs and look great."


"To make a long story very short, I've been struggling with perfectionism, chronic stress, anxiety, compulsive thinking, depression (Especially with nightfall)  and a fear of sleeping.  There has been a wide variety of physical manifestations such as Irritable bowel, fatigue etc..... So over all it's been a real nightmare.

The 10mg dose of Lexapro was to high for me and I had a bad reaction my first time.  I'm now on 5mg and so far it's relieved just about all my problems but my memory is clouded, takes more time to orgasm and I space out a lot.  To have the most success with feeling better you need to also make an effort to change your life.  Just keep that in mind."


"Was prescribed Sprix for back pain. It worked amazingly!  Took the pain away by day two!  But it must be taken correctly.  Spray to the side away from center of the nose (Septum).  And breathe through your mouth.  The spray is a mist so you don't need to sniff or snort.  If you snort it, it will just go down your throat and won't taste good.  If you do this, you won't get the nasal irritation burn and you will feel excellent and pain free!"


"I have been on Viibryd for 2 days now and the only side effect that I have had is a lot of gas and had to use the bathroom about 10 times but it was not diarrhea. I am on 10mg for 6 days and then will go to 20mg. I felt a little tingling sensation in my head after I initially took it. But so far so good. I am also on other medicines Latuda, Cogentin, Propranolol and Ativan. No trouble sleeping last night. Actually I just fell right asleep but woke up at 6am and felt very rested. "


"I take this for severe back pain and a herniated disc in my neck. I take them only when I'm out of percoscet.

They do Nothing for pain. They don't make me tired, high, happy, reduce any pain. They don't help anything. Sometimes I'll get a headache from them. These are given by doctors too scared of the DEA to actually help people in pain. It's a shame what has happened to the American healthcare system and our government. People who need help, can't get it. That's what these pills are, a placebo to not help you."


"Had I seen this blog years ago I would have given the depo shot a 10+ rating. I loved it! I tried a few other BC methods prior to getting depo years ago and didn't care for any of them. Finally when I first found depo I loved it. No periods, no side effects. Everything was great. I too a break from depo for about 3 months and then when I got my first injection again (about 1 and a half months ago) everything went down hill. I got it while I was on my period and then 3 days later I stopped bleeding then about 2 weeks after I started spotting which lasted a week, now it's been almost 3 and a half weeks and I'm still bleeding I'm constantly tired because of the lack of iron from bleeding for so long.  I won't be getting the second injection!"


"I've been taking this medication for 6 years. Just last month the  pharmacy gave me this other brand which had U03 on it. I've never seen this one before. The  effectiveness of this was not good. It made me sick to my stomach also. I've never had a issue with 10/325  hydrocodone until this months supply. Will never get these again!"


"I just started on this a week or two ago and haven't had sex since so I dont know its effectiveness but I have experienced side effects. The entire first week I was nauseous for hours starting about four hours after I took it. I only puked once though. Also, I have a loss of appetite. Im usually very hungry all day but since I started I'm never hungry. I also experienced breast tenderness and sensitivity which is not welcome since I sleep on my stomach. The nausea has gone away for the most part but that may be due to lack of eating."


"Due to the blood pressure medicines I take, I cannot tolerate Viagra or Cialis. I tried my 1st MUSE (500mg) a few days ago.  Since it was my 1st dose, my wife and I about missed the window.  I don't believe the 500mg will be enough in the future.  I suspect I'll need the 1000mg.  The erection wasn't quite as firm as the Viagra and Cialis.  But because it had little or no side effect with respect to my blood pressure, it will be a winner for us."


"I have several pain related medical issues including fibromyalgia, arthiritis in various joints and spine, and Ankylosing Spondylitis.  I experience severe lower back pain when laying down or with physical activity that involves standing for even short periods of time or bending over. etc.  I am treated with two types of opiods for pain.  However, despite using these strong medications my back, hip, and pelvic pain exceeds the threshold of my opiod treatment schedule.  As a result, I generally use the Lidoderm patches on my back/pelvic and hips.  All I can say is they are fabulous .   I've used these for several years now.  I can put on the patch(es) for 12 hours of any 24 period.  I can use between 1-3 patches as needed."


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


"Y'all, this product has worked for me time after time when the condom wants to act a fool! I've used this 5x! The most days I've gone within having the condom break and taking PlanB is 4 days! The max. for effectiveness is 5! When I take the pill, my period is delayed a week and a few days later then my period due date, always. So don't worry too much!  During the days leading up to expecting my period to arrive, of course I'm freaking out, but I get bloated, moody, craving foods & sweets-all the symptoms you get when you're about to get your period anyways! Then BOOM I'm so happy to have my period. The next day I'm like ugggggh. Hate this shit!  ;) I recommend it to anyone, but the sooner the better to swallow this $50 small pill, babydoll's!"


"I suffered severe depression for more than 10 years.  I have been recently diagnosed with Fibromuscular dysplasia (one of the effects of this condition is terrible migraines, lightheartedness, insomnia and dizziness) I was unable to function on a daily basis, feeling sleepy at work and miserable.  I could not thank enough to my neurologist.  He stopped me taking any other antidepressant and put me into this drug...After 15 days I can notice the difference...I am not sleepy during the day, I am able to function, headaches are gone and I am able to sleep straight for 7-8 hours. My doctor told me though that this medication will make me gain weight.  I prevent this eating healthier and trying to exercise 3 times a week and it's working"


"This medication worked for me, reducing the stomach acid significantly. It is worth a try for anyone suffering from GERD."


"I have GERD. Doctors have prescribed medicines that have not been effective. I have tried Nexium, Prevacid, Protonix, Prilosec, with no relief no matter the dosage.  When the GERD is not under control I cannot keep anything down. I have thrown up more acid than anyone can imagine. Thanks to my doctor, who prescribed Dexilant the horrors of GERD are behind me. I have suffered no side effects. My advertisement for this medicine would be DEXILANT IS EXCELLENT."


"I have had migraines since the age of 7. I am now 61. It took a lot of trial and error but Prodrin actually works at the onset. I also have trigeminal neuralgia which is excruciating nerve pain around the facial and ear area. Surprisingly the Prodrin helps stop it in its track along with an anti-seizure medicine Lamictal. That was a bonus for me."


"I stop taking this BC on the 3rd week. 2nd day on this BC, I started feeling uncomfortable down there. Went back and forth to the Dr during that three week period. The Dr. said everything was perfectly fine and that I should continue taking the BC. I continued to complained about the symptoms I was having. Lack of sleep, itching, crying for no reason. It was horrible. Dr. Kept suggesting to keep taking this birth control. I was told I wouldn't experience symptoms until 3 months into a pack. That was Definitely a lie. Since all test had check out that I was perfectly fine, I decided to stop taking the BC even though my Dr wanted me to continue. I been off the pill for 3 days and I'm feeling much better. I don't recommend this at all!!!!"


"We had sex Day 9 of cycle. He didn't pull out-Took Plan B onestep within 2hrs. No side effects.
Day 31 of cycle-Took clear blue easy- NOT PREGNANT (23 days after sex)
Im age 48,sexually active, irregular periods that can be 20 -50 days apart(perimenopausal) may not be ovulating every month.  I could say the pill worked by delaying ovulation, which on regular 28 day person could have happened between day 12-14.  On the flip side, odds of it being due to pill working could be 50/50. I'm healthy, sometimes not ovulating, he is 50, plus uses medical marijuana-3strikes already-odds of conception is lowered. We used pull out method for over 10 years- didn't want to take small chance-happy to have option of Plan B!"


"I'm 18 and have always struggled with hormonal acne. But for some reason, the past few months have been terrible. It was everywhere, and I felt so insecure. I went to the doctor and she recommended Epiduo. Best decision ever! At first I hated it because my skin is dry, itchy, flaky, and burns. But I finally found out how to put it on so it doesn't. Try this and see if it works:  First, wash your face GENTLY with a NON MEDICATED cleanser. Now this is the key. You have to wait for your face to completely dry between layers. Wait at least 10 minutes. So once that's dry, apply the Epiduo in a thin layer all over your face. Let dry for 15 min. Then apply a ton on moisturizer. My skin is so clear now!"


"I got the depo shot 3 months after having my daughter in 2012. I wanted to make sure I didn't get pregnant again. No periods at all, and no side effects, other than always wanting chicken. I only got the shot that one time though because I moved and didn't have the insurance coverage anymore to get the shot. I recently decided to get the shot again when I got a new boyfriend. It was horrible. I had constant headaches and more pregnancy symptoms than I had when I was actually pregnant. I also bled for 2 weeks at a time I decided I would give it another try after talking to my doctor and reading online that most people have issues the first one. my issues are still the same with the bleeding. I hate it."


"Lexapro has completely changed my life. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 daughters under the age of 2 and my husband works very long hours. I had desperate feelings of isolation and sadness. I waited 2 months before going to the doctor because I wasn't sure that I had a problem, and after feeling the effects of Lexpapro I can now see that I obviously needed help. Lexapro makes me feel like I am able to breathe again and handle the situations in my life that cause me so much anxiety. Side effects- I am tired/sleepy all day long. I drink coffee and that helps. I should have started this medication years ago for other anxiety issues I now realize I have, after being on Lexapro. If you suspect you have postpartum depression, see your doctor!"


"I feel like I have my life back with Lexapro. I am not depressed anymore. No more racing negative thoughts. On the down side, it did give me acne and my have difficulty with my memory and finding the words I want to say. It makes me feel like I have a little dementia, but I am afraid to go off of it and have depression again."


"After having another Stent placed in my heart my new cardiologist tried me on generic Crestor much to my dislike. I have tried them all they all cause me extreme pain in my muscles, bones (back, legs, arms, feet etc.)heart.. Nightmares this time, confusion, headaches. Symptoms began within a few hours of taking it. He switched me to this livalo and the pain was worse.No thank you. I'll pass."


"I began treatment on Qsymia under my physician's care in March 2014 at 249 lbs. and followed simple steps towards changing my eating habits and amping up my exercise regimine. It was not an overnight result. I had ups and downs; definitely more positive than negative. Today I weigh 138 lbs. I am a 56 yr old grandmother and feel better and more youthful than I did 15 or more years ago! My eating is a lifestyle, not a diet. My exercise is my therapy that makes me happy. The two combined gives me a healthy body and Qsymia jump-started it all. Going into it with the right frame of mind and determination will make all the difference. Qsymia is the tool that worked for me and I love what it did for me!"


"I'm on 200 mg at night. I know it's more than most people. I have chronic pain from degenerative bone disease plus I'm bipolar. This med is old school but it has helped me more than any of the newer meds. It is worth trying if other meds haven't helped."


"This worked great on my TMJ spasms!"


"Changed my whole life."


"I got this birth control about 6 months ago and have nothing but good things to say. It is the easiest, most convenient birth control I have ever had. I experienced a little acne in the beginning but this is normal when you change the hormones in your body. After time, the acne cleared up. My periods are non existent besides spotting, which is different for everyone on this medication. Overall, I recommend it! I am protected and sometimes ever forget it's there."


"Ii have no more pain. It helps so much. I would tell everyone to use it."


"I have been on Lutera for almost exactly two years now, and it has been great. I wasn't getting my periods very often before, and Lutera has regulated them and also shortened the number of days from 5-7 down to 3-4. My first period after starting it was terrible because I had a huge glob of blood come out in one chunk. However, after that one period everything else has been much more predictable and normal. It does not seem to have made my sex drive low at all, but that could be something to do with my age."


"My 7 yr old has been on Focalin for 5 weeks with no side effects.  His teacher noticed a difference in him on the FIRST day which amazed me. I didn't even have a chance to tell her he was taking it and she commented that he was more focused, better behaved, etc.  So far, it's been great!"


"I was finally prescribed Wellbutrin SR after 4 months of treatment with a hospital psychologist. Treatment through other means of talking through my emotions helped some, but there was those thoughts, if you know what I mean. So they started me on the medicine. It was only 100mg 1 time a day, I only took it for 10 days. I felt great for about 10 hours, but in the evening I would feel like I was in withdrawal or like I was in an emotional craving of some sort, kind of hard to describe. I felt edgy at night, was easy to bark at the kids for little or no reason, and I would have deep and serious thoughts about suicide, but those thoughts only lasted about 10 minutes, and then they would go away, as quickly as they had started."


"I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome a few years ago and started taking Natazia for it. Before taking Natazia I would go about 10 months without a period then would bleed heavy for a month or so. I would have cramps that would drop me to my knees. It was unbearable. I went a couple years of dealing with this, then finally decided to get myself to the Dr. He prescribed Natazia and it has been a life saver. I've never had regular periods. I've been on so many different kinds of birth control and this is the only one that has worked for me. Since the first month I have had regular periods. I finally feel like a normal woman with regular periods. It's kind of nice. The only side effect is the acne. I'll take acne over bleeding heavy for a month any day."


"I absolutely love this medicine. Was so constipated that all I did was sleep. Was miserably "full" with Bowel Motion maybe once every 1 to 2 weeks. Nothing else worked for me. Slight nausea sometimes (which is nothing). My energy level is restored. I thank God for giving man the knowledge to make this medicine."


"After suffering for 2 years of bloating I had been using miralax which  works slowly every day . Then the Dr say try this. Within 10 min I was in bathroom on and of for 2 hour while it was cleaning my system out.  I had no bloating and no abdominal pain.  I took the second dose today and it did same thing. In 10 min rolling thunder started in my stomach and
 cleaned out everything. I will try  in a few more days then will ask Dr so far no more pain but I feel like it is a f18 fighter sound going thru my stomach for few hour after taking this..

Thanks goodness I tried it after work when I was home.. lol"


"Was prescribed metronidazole for my gum abscess. Suffered from side effects ever since the first dose. I'm on 2 tablets 3 times a day. Stomach has been producing more gastric juice and there's burning sensation. It leaves a bitter taste on ur tongue for a while after you've swallowed the tablets. Worst of all, I've been feeling nauseous all day."


"The first time I took Restoril was the longest I've slept in over 20 years. I truly cannot remember ever sleeping 7 hours at one time. I have been taking Restoril for over 3 years now and I can usually count on 5 hours of sleep. The only side effects that I have noticed are forgetfulness and sometimes balance."


"I started having panic attacks that rendered me unable to even get up. My first one landed me in the hospital. I was disoriented, rooms looked like they were sideways, objects that were not moving looked like they were, I couldn't get enough air in, I needed to close my eyes, driving was out of the question and I was nauseated and terrified. After two weeks of being out of work I was put on Klonopin along with antidepressants. It is the only thing that has allowed me to function like I could before the panic/anxiety attacks started. The only drawback is that I have to take it at the same time each day and cannot miss a doseage or the dizziness, panic and feeling like I am going to pass out comes back. It has been a life saver."


"Within days of getting the implant I was ridiculously emotional to the point that I couldn't control myself. I had random crying outbursts. I became EXTREMELY anxious. It began causing issues in my relationship because my boyfriend couldn't understand why I was questioning everything, freaking out over his driving and little unimportant things that I never worry about, I was overly worried about my college assignments to the point of obsessiveness, I formed acne as well. I just had it removed because I've been spotting every day since it was placed in, in January 2016, it is now October 2016 and I began to form a constant period odor that was not pleasant for me or my boyfriend."


"My daughter has suffered from insomnia (waking up in the middle of the night and not going back to sleep) for 2 years. Natural remedies didn't work well, nor did Benadryl. She finally tried trazodone at 25 mg. at 11 pm. She slept very soundly, but she felt very sedated (couldn't function) until 3:30 the next day. The next night she tried 12.5 mg., woke up at 8:30 and wasn't completely alert until 11 am. She tried 12.5 mg. again last night, was too tired to wake at 8, got up at 8:30, and was fully alert by 10. Tonight she'll try less than 1/4 pill so that she can wake up at 7:30 and be fully alert by 8:30 or 9. She weighs 110 pounds and most prescription meds make her extremely drowsy."


"I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome 18 years ago. My experience has been horrible. Very irregular cycles. Ranging from massive bloat, extreme flow, severe cramps, night sweats and facial hair. I maybe have 3 periods every 2 years.  Finally my doctor put me on Metformin.  The side effects for me are pretty bad.  Mainly stomach pain and diarrhea.  I work through it because I know my body will adjust. I've heard great things about this medicine and I'm willing go through a little discomfort to improve my irregular cycle."


"Was quite effective in combination with Seroquel.  I felt A LOT better!  Drymouth and sleepiness were the only real side effects and they weren't that harsh.  Easy to use."


"Caused my 10 yr old son to develop severe depression, and a facial motor tic which never went away. Now he takes medication for not only ADHD but also depression and tics. Worst drug experience ever!"


"I have epilepsy and had it controlled for several years with other medications.  Recently I was diagnosed with Essential Tremor and the doctor prescribed Primidone. On the second day of use I had a seizure, as I continued usage and increased dosage as directed I started losing muscle control in my legs, I had periods where I thought I was losing my mind. I was unable to speak clearly as it felt like my tongue was swollen, but it was not.  It got to the point where I could not stand up in the shower without leaning against the walls.  My wife said get off that medicine!  Could not reach my doctor so I decreased dosage to zero. I take a lot of different medications for number of different medical problems, I think my brain had had it. "


"My Doctor put me on this Voltaren gel and now I can get a goodnights sleep , because it works so good, and I have to rate this medicine in the high 10s. All you have to do is put between 4 up to 9 gram 4 times a day and you will see just what I'm talking about."


"I have loads of hair on chin, gone hard like a mans beard but I've been using this cream few days & WOW I can't explain skin feels so soft  so people get down to docters and get it best thing ever"


"It's a wonder drug it has taken my voices away and seeing things away. My paranoia is still there but alot better. My moods are under control as well"


"I started this medication in 2015 on 25mg for 2 weeks - it had no effect which was good as I also had no side effects (I was in a pretty bad place at the time as I had pnd, panic disorder and ptsd) so I wasn't expecting to feel better straight away.
I was then increased to 50mg and started feeling a lot better after about a month.  I then increased to 75mg - what I'm on now, and I can honestly say my life is just so much better!! The only side effect I have noticed is a bit of a fuzzy head if I don't take the meds at the same time every day.
It is a medication that can take a few months to really show you it's benefits But it shouldn't make you worse -So like any drug... be careful and talk to your prescriber regularly!"


"Just started taking this pill on Sunday and its now Friday.  First two days severe migraine then everyday after I felt great.  The only downfall is that I started taking this to control my acne and I feel its just making it worse.  I've always heard it will get worse before it gets better so I'm going to try to stick it out.  I just hope that's the case. If not I guess I'm going to have to try another option. I'm trying to be patient but when it comes to something like this it's hard."


"I saw no benefits. "


"I just took my first pill today. I am feeling so much more energy already! I am supposed to take a half pill after lunch, which is 53p for me since I work 2nd shift. I'm 29 years old and 5 feet 9 inches tall.  Cw is 246 pounds and I have a goal to get to 190. Getting up and working out will be the hardest part for me! Just have to make myself do it! I will update in a few weeks! Thank you for the motivation!"


"Jardience has improved my ability to control my diabetes.  Jardience is easy to take because it is in pill form instead of a shot.  The problem I experienced while taking Jardience is a monthly yeast infection.  This month, August 2017, I acquired a yeast infection and a severe case of vulvitis. My usual dose of diflucan improved my vulvitis and yeast infection but symptoms still persist.  This level of discomfort has made me consider discontinuing Jardience."


"I just finished my first month of this and I can honestly say I like it! My second day on it I felt like crap and threw up but I primarily blame that on myself because I ate very little that day. Overall great experience so far, my period started while taking the placebo pills like expected so I can say it did regulate my period because I usually skip a month. I have noticed my breasts have gotten more sensitive while taking this but it doesn't bother me too much and I believe its even helped with my acne, which is a plus! "


"This is my first month on Loestrin.  I was prescribed this medication for uterine fibroids and cysts. Before my bleeding was non stop for months. The first day I started this pill my bleeding stopped. I have had no spotting at all so far. I have however had terrible mood swings, anxiety and I feel like I may be depressed."


"I've had Nexplanon for 6 months....VERY effective at preventing pregnancy but have been experiencing terrible side effects. Major weight gain, unpredictable bleeding, acne, worsening depression and zero sex drive. Getting it removed this month. Do not recommend!"


"The best ever!!!!"


"I have been on this medication a couple of years for supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension and have not had ONE episode of SVT since being on it.  I used to get SVT once or twice a month, so this medicine has truly made my life better.  The problem I now face is with my insurance company since they are hiking up non-generic co-pays to 4 times as much as before.   Since there is no generic until 2011, I must either forego this medicine and try something else or pay something I can't afford.   This is frustrating when I know the medicine works."
