"I have tried different medicines for migraines, all just calmed it down a little, it just had to run its 3 day duration. Am seeing another Dr & she put me on Maxalt yesterday, my migraine was gone within an hour of taking it. I just want to go back and hug her because after 5 yrs of trying I just accepted my pain. It made me drowsy, but I will take drowsy over pain any day."


"Absolutely horrible. I bled for 50 days straight and the only reason I stopped dripping blood was because I had it taken out. It caused never ending BV and yeast infections despite endless antibiotics and medications. I was miserable."


"I've been on Synthroid, Levoxyl, or Levothyroxine for the past 11 years at a suppressive dose and did fine.  When my endocrinologist took me off of TSH suppression by lowering my dose of T4 I was miserable.  Within in weeks I was exhausted, cold all the time, had brain fog, was depressed, and needed additional sleep.  When I told my endocrinologist she continued to lower my dose (twice) because my TSH was suppressed.  This caused me to be completely disfunctional at work and at home...I was so exhausted and everwhelmed I feared losing my job and my husband (no libido for over 6 months) and low productivity at work.  I begged my endocrinologist to add T3.  The dose was too low at first to make a difference but after reestablishing with a new"


"BC is wonderful for getting rid of a headache."


"I was officially diagnosed with AS in 2011 (at age 27) and started taking Enbrel. Enbrel did help reduce my pain after a few weeks but wrecked my immune system. If the flu was going around, I would be one of the first to get it. For a few years, I would take Enbrel to help with the pain but stopped during the flu season. This past year, I stopped taking Enbrel altogether because it was becoming less affective. I would recommend trying Enbrel if you have AS. I does help you, but might not be a long term solution for everyone."


"This medication has changed my life. I have had migraine since I was age 17. My son lost a lot of time and attention from me because I used to be debilated for from early morning until about 7 pm. Only when my doctor prescribed Sumatriptan for me about 6 years ago I have got back quality of life. I thank from the bottom of my heart whoever invented this medication. Thankfully in UK we have the National Health Service which means I don't have to pay for the medication. I probably would find it hard to afford otherwise. I worry about all the people around the world who suffer migraine and do not have access to Sumatriptan. Forget all the wealth. Health is the true wealth for me. Thank you Sumatriptan."


"Lexapro changed my life! I am 34 years old. I had coped with generalized anxiety. Everything in my life was affected. I have been on Lexapro 10 mg for four months now and I can't imagine being without it. I'm happy with my life; work, family, friends. No more anxiety attacks and bad thoughs. My husband can 100 percent see the change. I only had a few side effects for the first few weeks like dizziness and slight night.  At first I was unsure that it was going to work because I can't think cleraly. But it definitely works after the first three weeks just give it the chance."


"Good lord, awful, the worst experience I've ever had with a drug.  2 things. 1, my mouth tastes like I've just eaten a meal of tin cans and aluminum foil. A truly vile taste that cannot be fully appreciated until experienced.  Two, and this is a minor point-I feel like I'm going INSANE.  This from someone with no mental health issues.  Beware night time, it is a chamber of horrors.  Hallucinations, bizarre dreams, inability to think rationally, the gnawing feeling that your brain is being invaded by little green ewoks with sharp teeth.

If it was just the bad taste, I'd probably power though to the end of the script, but I've done 2 grisly nights on this s***, and there's no way I'm making it though 5 more. Back to the doc."


"I do belive everybody experiences different symptoms. It's my third box of Yasmin and I'm probably gona give it one or two more shots but I'm thinking of quiting it. First box of my pills was a 21 day long nightmare.  I had breakthrough bleeding whole month I wasn't even sure when my period started, I had huge intestinal problems. Went for two abdominal ultrasounds because of constant bloating, overly active guts and diarea/constipation (it switched every 2 or 3 days). My breasts, dear Lord, I never felt so tender in my entire life. Luckly, as the next box came, bleeding stopped so did tendernes. I still do feel bloated and gassy but it's lot better. Gonna give it one more shot but I just don't feel it's suiting me."


"I've had JRA since I was 2 years old. I started Humira 5 years ago. Worked great. Called it my miracle drug. Just this week I was diagnosed with Lymphoma. I suggest staying away from this product."


"I started taking Provigil about a year ago when it was suspected I had narcolepsy.  I was tested and found it was Idiotic Hypersomnia (lack of melatonin) they call it Idiotic because they don't know what causes it. Provigil works one day for me then not the next.  You can only take 200mg max per day. I went off it and on Ritalin.  I am awake without any ill effects.  I have recently been tested again for narcolepsy and was found that I am narcoleptic.  The test given last year was done incorrectly (without my C-pap), it was supposed to be done WITH it on during my sleep study. All is good now."


"It definitely helps my anxiety. That being said its not a med I brag about to my friends. I was having an anxiety attack tonight. I took one 25 mg hydroxizine. It definitely made me feel better. I kinda wish I had something stronger. Like I said it takes the edge off. Also to note early mornings sometimes you have to push to get out of bed. Med seems to linger into wake up time. Also at times can feel like its hard to think. I've only taken it for like a week."


"Zoloft did not help me at all.  I was on it for about 3 months, worked up to 100mg.  I was tired and hungry all the time.  I gained 20 lbs and slept all day. I was a complete zombie.  Definitely made my depression worse."


"I have been using Diovan for several years and it works great, however now my insurance company wants me to resort to Losartan.  When I was on Lotensin it didn't do the job.  Hope Losartan does."


"Viagra is best for Erectile dysfunction. "


"My son went on Strattera... came off after about 6 months because he found it terrible and was causing him pain, discomfort (mentally) and he was constantly crying, hurting himself and even one time fainted."


"I've been doing pretty good on Multaq. Started using it in 2013, copay was $50, 2014 copay was $70. 2015 copay was $80. Now I received letter from Express Script telling me I will have to pay $200 in 2016. All prices are for 90 day supply. I can't afford to pay that amount. Is there anything less costly I could take instead of Multaq?"


"Helps very much with pain but is causing skin itching on my arms."


"I have been on different birth controls over the years and due to changes in my hormones I have been spotting before my period so my doctor put me on this BCP and I have getting really bad acne, mood swings, and my lips are very chapped. I've been on it for 2 months and I'm still spotting and now I have side effects! After I finish this pack I'm gonna stop taking this pill. My doctor said to give it 3 months but I just can't with these side effects."


"Been on this birth control for 17yrs now and have had no problems.  No period just very light spotting month before next shot due."


"This pill made me break out like crazy. Also, it made me very depressed and irritated with everyone!! I gained a little weight and ate like crazy , I tried to get off of it but my doctor says I should take it for 3 months so my body can get used to it ."


"I had to stop the combined pill (Yasmin) after 3 years as I had started getting migraines.
I am lucky my mother works at a family planning clinic so if I have any questions I just ask her. I chose the Mirena coil as the copper coil has a high chance of heavy periods and cramp (which I already suffered from).
My periods seemed to last slight longer, but after around six months they have get become very very light. During the 6 months I had bad cramps when due on my period which last days, but now have really settled.
My acne came back from pre-combined pill, but I manage this with antibiotics
I have had no weight gain, but I do have a healthy lifestyle.
Everyone is different, but I am glad that I perservered with the mirena."


"I am living a productive symptom free life because of Invega shot 4 yrs, 6mg pill for 1. Now college grad, off disability, full time job (40 k) at investment bank all possible by Invega. I was severely sick and now I haven't been for 5 years. It took a couple of hospitalizations, several lost jobs, and even jail ( which was turning point) to find Invega. I did 3 full time  yrs in college and got 3.9 in finance.
Only sides effects I've had are slightly high cholesterol and weight gain which for me is somewhat manageable with diet although for what I eat I'd be 20 pds less.
I am now crystal clear and have zero symptoms. Life changer."


"Hi! This drug was a miracle for me. I take if for OCD, GAD, MDD I have had 0 side effects and have been taking this medication for about 2 months now. I am also on Luvox, Anafranil, Klonopin, and Latuda plus a few others to help with the OCD, anxiety and depression and I think Brintellix helps me the most. The first day I took It, I stopped halfway through the day and realized that I hadn't worried abut anything that day! I am still amazed at what this drug is doing for me! :)"


"I have been suffering from strong tension headaches since the birth of my second son.  Fioricet has been wonderful. Fioricet has taken the pain away quickly and has allowed me to be a more pleasant parent to my children and a nicer co-worker.  "


"This was a good med for crisis mode. After crisis time I got off the olanzapine and stayed on just the antidepressant, fluoxetine. The olanzapine makes you tired and fat if your on it long, but works to calm crazy thoughts. Take it about 2 hours before bed time and you will sleep like a baby. Lowest dose for me."


"I responded after one week. The side effects (lethargy, some bowel problems) are the only reason i didnt rate this medicine a 10. After 44 years of excessive anxiety and depression I finally feel like I can be "myself" instead enslaved to unreasonable thoughts and frustrations. Ironically, I avoided these types of meds for years, instead "self medicating" with alcohol and cynicism. Had I switched to this years ago maybe I would still be married to a wonderful woman. Sad, but true."


"It has been 5 days into my dose of Minivelle.  My hot flashes reduced drastically,  however,  the very next day I developed severe arthritis in my knees.   It took me until today to realize this could be a side effect.  After reading- it is.  I have discontinued the patch and hopefully my knees will get better."


"I have been on this medicine for 27 years. Except for extreme tiredness, I seem okay. Have not had a fit when on this medicine. One week I came off the medicine, between suicidal thoughts, crying jags and depression, I had massive fits. I have not been off since. This medicine seems to affect the liver, so liver tests are a must."


"I have severe chronic abdominal pain and the only medication that controls my pain is Dilaudid. I was first given Dilaudid IV in the hospital after I had a reaction to morphine and it was AMAZING. In less than a minute my pain was essentially gone.  The IV Dilaudid is, in my opinion, the greatest medicine ever invented. I now take 4 mg tablets six times a day for my pain and it keeps my pain at about a 4, as opposed to being 9 or 10 without it. I have a really sensitive stomach but I don't get nauseated from it like I do with other pain meds. "


"I had my first of three injections of Orthovisc yesterday (1/14/16) into my left knee. The physician numbed the skin and injected the lubricant. I did not experience any discomfort.

The day after the injection I have not experienced any negative side effects.
The overall effectiveness of Orthovisc is still up in the air but I'm eager to keep moving forward with the treatment.

I will post again after completing the three injections."


"While I was only on Bactrim for one week, I feel like it was an experience to share! In this week I did notice a difference in my skin and it was probably the best my face has ever looked. That being said, I developed allergy symptoms pretty quickly but did not make the connection right away. High fever and nausea for a few days before a full-body rash on the 8th day. I was taking two pills a day. Always watch for symptoms and consult the doctor. I would still recommend this medication to others as it appeared VERY promising at clearing up my moderate hormonal acne. If I could go on it again, I would."


"For me, a side effect of hand trembling was so extreme I had to quit taking it.  "


"Aleve helps a lot"


"I have been taking Cipro for three days now. I'm a father of two girls. I have had to call off work for the past 2 days due to the tiredness and fatigue. The only good thing I can say is that my infection is getting better slowly. This is a very strong medicine for many uses. "


"I used a product called Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew. It's active ingredient is also Spinosad, but it only costs $8.00 for an entire quart. Not $225.00 for a tiny little bottle. It got rid of my daughters lice in one treatment with no side effects. It's available in the garden Dept of any big box store."


"Having suffered with hypochondria, anxiety and depression for years I was at my wits end when I decided to try Sertraline. I can honestly say they have given me my life back. I've NEVER, even as a child felt this calm and happy before. To anyone that's suffering I'd say give them a try. Best thing I've ever done."


"I have been on Saphris for nine months. I am taking 20 mg at night.  I find the medication puts me to sleep 10-15 minutes after taking my dosage.  If I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I stumble around in a daze. After sleeping 9-10 hours, I wake up feeling refreshed. I also take Lamotrigine and Sertraline. To manage anxiety, I take Lorazepam as needed. It took me several months to see the full benefits. Today, I am under control.  No suicidal thoughts. No aggressive behavior. I am no longer having the delusions that people are out to get me and/or I am being followed.  Best of all the medication did not throw me into depression.  I still have problems when I become overwhelmed or in a busy environment."


"I take this pill to have a good night sleep. It's been at least 5 years on it and I take 450mg."


"I switched to Wellbutrin after a year of Zoloft mostly due to weight gain (I'd gained about 20 lbs. in a year). I started taking Wellbutrin 2x a day with a plan to eventually increase to extended release but the meds kept me up all night. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep a night even with Zzzquil. My sleep was extremely restless and I woke up about every hour. I called my doctor and asked if I could switch to the extended release version but she said it would probably be the same situation. I did like how the meds made me feel. Very little depression and I felt super energized and productive. Honestly I was almost too wired; I was very jittery and almost a bit manic."


"I've been on this medication for 3 and a 1/2 weeks. I started at 309 lbs and today I'm at 295.4, so as of today I've dropped 13 pounds. I have drastically changed my diet to about 600 calories during the work day and up to 1000 at night.  It may sound weird but I'm a construction foreman and stay very busy and therefore can eat low cal snacks and a simple lunch and be fine. I also do a lot of walking around and going up stairs. (100 at a time). I also take plenty of fiber every night.  Without the medication I was constantly hungry and sustaining my weight (not burning fat). As far as taking 4 pills a day I've taken ssri's for years, nuff said."


"I had this inserted in March 2015. Literally in the beginning I had heaving bleeding and atfew times spotting for 4 months straight!!! I went with my doctor with the intentions of removing it but she encouraged me to take BC pills for only month straight to help regularize my period. Surprisingly it actually helped. Unfortunately 3 mths ago I started bleeidn and spotting every other week rather than one month. Now I'm really wanting to remove it becuase it's a month already that it has not stopped. I previously had the implanon and now got this thinking I would be okay like last time but NOPE I was oh so wrong!!!!!! I have horrible mood swings and cramping. I don't want to risk getting pregnant again and trying to suck it up."


"It works most of the time. Very, very expensive. Has eaten up most of my drug coverage for the year. There got to be something less cost that works."


"It works.

I took the pill somewhere 14-15 hours after the incident. Me and my bf had sex on the day i was ovulating (14th day of my cycle, 5th day of my fertility).

I had all those side effects that were incommon with being pregnant symptoms. But i got my period today on my 28th day of my cycle (wich is so precise btw, I Always get my period on time)

Now if u took the medicine on time, and you are under that weight limit (it doesnt work for people over 176 pounds), relax and let the pill do its work.

AND most important: Until you missed a period, stop reading about pregnancy symptoms because that can make u so paranoid, and u begin to belive u are experiencing all those things"


"I just had my 4th infusion.  Since the previous one and this past one, I have been extremely fatigued.  Can't seem to do anything for any period of time.  Have trouble sleeping due to a strange feeling I get in my chest (feels like my pulse is jumping out of my chest, no pain, just a very weird feeling).  I was hoping this Tysabri was going to help me, but it hasn't. :("


"I went on Jolivette 6 weeks postpartum. I've had issues with uterine fibroids at age 21, so at age 24 they didn't want to risk it with an estrogen pill. Here I am a year later, gained 60 pounds, on depression medication, lowest libido ever, moody, horrible periods, oh AND I'M PREGNANT after the first time not using back up birth control like condoms. All thanks to Jolivette. Thank you, Jolivette. You had 1 job, and you failed miserably."


"Originally I had Nexplanon(however it's spelled), then Mirena, before switching to Skyla. Since I made the switch my cycles are about the same length of days its always been, maybe a day or two longer, but mostly spotting. I would like for it to stop my cycle all together. Although, I will say it's working a lot better than the other two. Mirena cause me to have spotting for about 2-3 weeks, same with Nexplanon...so I made the switch to Skyla. I really didn't have any pain when it was inserted. My cramps are very light, nothing to take pain medication for, then again, I've had two 9lbs babies lol...all in all I would say find what works best for your body. I'm happy that the Skyla is working thus far."


"This medicine is helping my neck spasms and bulging discs. I have rhuematoid arthritis and gouty arthritis and chronic pain and this really helps me also. Like they say give it a shot it will work."


"Worked great from day one. Unfortunately, does not come in a generic form so can be very expensive. My doctor recently switched me to Methylin ER since it comes in a generic form and is much more affordable.  Sometimes I can't even tell I have taken the Methylin ER, the performance is so sub-standard to the Ritalin LA.  I am starting to think a normal life might just be worth the extra $60 a month my insurance doesn't cover on the Ritalin LA."


"Just started taking this med 5 days ago after 5 years on Celexa. Celexa always left me at an "I'm fine" state and I just said that "I just am older, so I shouldn't expect to have the energy I had in high school" (I'm 26). Two months ago, my meds seemed to stop working all together. My doc decided we should counter-taper meds between Celexa and Cymbalta.  Day one of Cymbalta on the lowest dose, I felt absolutely amazing. I have all of my full range of emotions and so much energy and concentration! For about 8 hours on Day 2, my eyebrow would twitch on and off, but that's gone. I'm planning on discussing with my doc about keeping the low dose (he suggested one up) and just completely getting rid of Celexa and see how that works. I'm ecstatic!"


"Generally positive experience"


"I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and had a chocolate cyst which was removed 6 months ago. However excruciating pain and cramps persisted.

I was so drained all the time and attributed it to my busy schedule.

A month ago I went to the obgyn because my cramps became daily. They found a lemon size cyst on the right ovary and told me to go on Cryselle for 4 months to shrivel it. Before I could start taking it I had a horrible bout of pain, fever, nausea dizziness that felt like my endo symptoms I think my cyst burst because the persistent pain was gone. Doc said to to take Cryselle anyway.

First week,  I got a few big pimples and expected to gain weight and be moody. It did the opposite felt like my old self energetic & happy!!"


"This medicine is doing it's job.  I actually fell asleep standing up in my dining room.  Hit my chin on the table (ouch). Now, I don't fall asleep at inappropriate times (after I take my  first dose). I do have concerns about it's habitual possibilities, which I must say, my doctor did not warn me about. I will have to keep a close watch on my behavior I guess, but it is working."


"Have used Novolog for 9-10 years.  I has reasonably helped with controlling my glucose but has caused considerable weight gain.  My units are determined by the carbohydrate count per meal - that has been adjusted from a ratio of 10 to a ratio of 7 per unit.  A new endocrinologist has suggested Januvia but the side effects sound horrendous.  The other 5 oral medications I've tried over a period of years did nothing positive and actually caused too many gastrointestinal problems.  Will decide in 3 months, at next appointment."


"Just took it this morning about 6 hours now I have jitters anxiety a little, just a little off right now hope it gets better soon.  I am on the 2 week free dose right now and I bought the 30 day . It was $98.50. Really hoping this works and these side effct go away."


"Tried it for about 9 months, easy in use but I don't think the amount of hormones that ends up in your body is any less than on the pill, not symptom wise at least. It works fine in general but if you have a sensitivity to hormonal bc don't expect it to be much better than other methods! I experienced a dramatic drop in libido and this was ultimately the main reason for me to stop but there were other side effects as nausea, some weight gain and it really irritated my urinary tract in the beginning too. I have switched to non hormonal bc now."


"I've been on this pill for about 6 months now. The first month, I bled almost nonstop and my hair seemed to be falling out a lot more than usual, but I stuck with it and now I have no side effects. I used to have seven day, extremely painful periods, but now I bleed for about 4 days per month and it is really light, which is wonderful!"


"I'm a 54 year old man that started having dermatitis upon return from a deployment to Iraq.   After trying a variety of medications I was told that I have Rosacea.   I tried Mirvaso on one side and it seemed to clear my face.  After trying it for several days I noticed my face turning extremely red and itching.  I cannot use this and am heading back to the dermatologist."


"Another side effect- extreme itching."


"I was prescribed amoxicillin in preparation for my first root canal. The tooth was sensitive, but did not hurt.  They made me exhausted, alternately chilled and sweating.  Lost my appetite.  Can't sleep.  Skin is sensitive to the touch.  I'm seeing halos around bright lights.  Urinating gives 1/4 to  1/2 cup every hour or so, and I couldn't stop the dribble. I might buy some Depends to save my pants."


"This has been a horrific 3 months for me. Let me start by saying I have gained about 15 lbs in 3 months and my breasts have grown 2 cup sizes. They are tender, to the point where hugging my boyfriend hurts. I am extremely athletic and just couldn't understand why suddenly I couldn't work-out. I have no energy, I've been drinking triple the amount of caffeine that I usually do. My biggest change was a COMPLETE loss in my sex drive. I've barely touched my boyfriend in 3 months. I am moody, emotional, feel drained all the time and literally hate myself. I read all these reviews, ran to the bathroom and took it out! I do not recommend this to anyone!"


"Poor!

Obviously a male must've been the person the person behind the making of these tablets because they are poor! Too mild.

When a woman takes painkillers for menstrual pains, it means they don't want to feel anything! But these tabs don't eradicate the pain like other regular pains do. In face, nurofen plus is far much better than the one for menstrual pains. I just think this was another way to expand their product line in the market to increase their customer base and profits!

Nurofen guys, relook at it please!"


"I have been smoking for the last 23 years, with Nicoderm CQ Patches I quit smoking. It took 5 weeks for me to quit. I thank Nicoderm CQ. Must try. It works."


"When I was 47 I was diagnosed with arthritis in my neck which was triggering migraines and shoulder pain. Even 800 mg of Motrin didn't help. Nortriptyline was a miracle and I am migraine free. I tried going off of it about 4 times, and every time I had headaches and shoulder pain the next day. I am so thankful for Nortriptyline because I can go to work and think clearly without a headache clouding my thoughts."


"Great help"


"I was only able to take Lialda for one week and had severe headaches causing tenderness in the lower bottom of my head, blurred vision and vomiting when headache worsened.  It worked and I was feeling almost 90% back to normal, however the headaches worsened and had to discontinue."


"I have had Essential Tremor for several years. I have been taking propranolol and clonazepam for last several years but have seen a return of tremor lately. My doctor added primidone in last month. I have been having great difficulty adjusting to medicines though. I feel like I'm spinning most of time, seems to cause increase in shakiness as medicine begins to wear off (at least that's my opinion), and has caused an inability to ejaculate. I am currently working on increasing my dosage amounts. I started at 12.5mg with intended dose of 50mg nightly as goal."


"I'm a 31 year old male diabetic and was having problems with erectile dysfunction.  I started on a Cialis regimen and it only slightly helped.  My urologist then tested me for Testosterone and found I was in the low 200 range.  He gave me a month supply and a prescription for Testim.  The first month there didn't seem too much impact, but by the second month I had both more energy and sex drive. The erectile dysfunction problem was greatly reduced and in some cases the Cialis isn't needed.

As a side note, some people complain about the smell.  I think it just smells like cheap aftershave, but doesn't really bother me.  My girlfriend and two of my close friends that are also female think it smells wonderful.  I'm not sure if it a pheromone response or just pleasing to them."


"After suffering for some time with PMT I decided I couldn't continue the way I was as it was interfering with my personal life aswel as my work life. I spoke to my GP who offered me some different options, Prozac being one of them. At that point I felt I couldn't carry on the way I was so gave Prozac a try. I've been on it for around 6 weeks now and already feel 'normal' again. I don't feel anxious or hate myself. It seems to have cleared my thoughts. It's still early but it's definatly helped me get back to my old self."


"I took the Arimidex for five years, three years in I began having serious issues in my hands.  Trigger finger in both hands.  Two years after stopping the medication, I am still having serious issues with my hands.  The side effects are accumulative, and I decided to discontinue taking it."


"I have severe sciatica that is absolutely devastating to my lifestyle. I drive a lot and the pain is excruciating. 800mg of Ibuprofen provides relief in about an hour to an hour and a half and from a dose to pain returning is about 3 to 3 and a half hours. It's not much, but it's the only think giving me a respite from what is otherwise excruciating pain. I'm starting to get routine heartburn for the first time in years after taking this routinely for three months. Starting to worry about the stomach side effects. Can also be hard on the kidneys."


"I have been on 200mg/day of Topamax for about 6 years along with a bunch of other things and it seemed as though my headaches were worse.  I kept begging to increase the Topamax as I had stopped having any side effects.  Finally I fired my pain doctor after he told me just to go "cold turkey" off of morphine (I wanted to stop taking it, but not exactly that way!).  Life is so much better without daily pain medicines and I found a neurologist who took me all the way up to 400mg/day on Topamax.  I did start to have some more weight loss and taste issues and sleepiness, but my migraines became much more manageable with Imitrex and much less frequent.  That is down to maybe once a week from near daily."


"I took this pill 10 days before my period. And took it 37 hours within the 72 hour required. It made me tired and I had headaches, more than usual. Then round the time of my period I was a little worried, and the day before my period I started to spot for 3 days. It was suppose to come on June 14. So I was even more worried. Then come Monday and thank God, my period came. I never been more excited for my period to come until now!! IT WORKS."


"I take this to help me sleep every now and then, however the last 2 times I've been having weird and slightly creepy visual and auditory hallucinations, it's almost like I'm having an incredibly realistic dream while I'm completely conscious and full functionable! But other than that it knocks me right out"


"I've been on this birth control for 3 months. It's making me crazy. My periods have been 10x worse than they were before I got on the pill and they were bad! I stay home from school every time I'm on it because I can't handle them and I get horrible headaches while I'm on my period. My acne has been getting a bit worse but I hear it gets better after 3 months? I am going to stick with it for another month and see how it goes but let's just say it's hell right now."


"I'm 50 years old, female, live in Brazil and I' ve been using alvesco since the asthma diagnosis, in March 2014. It's controlled now, but I can't stop using it. I use 160mg every morning and since I don't stop alvesco, I'm asthma free. The only side effect I notice is my voice, a little lower than it used to be. But I want to learn to live without medication!"


"Having been a serious and functioning alcoholic for many years I finally hit rock bottom both health wise, and family wise, I ruptured blood vessels in my throat and almost drowned in my own blood, this was due to the amount of alcohol I was drinking.... the doctors told my wife I would not make it through the weekend.. I pulled through, I called my Dr to see if there was anything to kill the cravings. Campral was prescribed. I have been clean almost a month now. No cravings. For the first time I have my life back. More people need to be informed of this medication. If you are questioning yourself... give it a try. I did! It truly has saved my life and my marriage. I hope this helps someone. Good luck."


"I am a recovering from a methamphetamine addiction. Methamphetamine attacks your dopamine receptors so trying to quit tends to send people into a spiral depression causing relapse. I've been taking 300mg of welbutrin Sr in the morning and 150mg in the evening. I feel great! No depression, no anxiety, actually I quit taking my 2 anxiety meds bc I no longer need them, no more short fuse, im happy and finally can return to normal living without being held from a horrible bondage. Im 27 went back to school received my degree in applied science paramedics. I know everybody is made different and medication can have different effects but I think it is a wonderful recovery medication"


"This is my second time taking Paxil. For me, it is the only medication that has been effective in treating my anxiety. I've taken just about every medication for anxiety over the past 10 years. In my early 20s, I took Paxil for about 6 months and experienced sexual side effects but only gained about 5lbs. It was horrible to come off of Paxil and I experienced dizziness, headaches, and nausea. I am currently 29 and I started taking Paxil again about 5 months ago due to increased anxiety. While it has been effective in helping me to lead a normal life with minimal anxiety, it has caused horrible weight gain. I gained 15lbs in the past 3 months which is a lot for my petite frame at 5.1'. Due to the weight gain I am currently attempting stop"


"It literally does nothing. I've even take 200mg at a time. Nothing. You're better off taking Advil. I have no idea why this is even prescribed to people. Maybe its a placebo drug? It doesn't help at all."


"This was realy helpful. It was pescribed for my sister by her doctor."


"I've had bronchitis for two weeks and the tessalon pearles have not worked for me. What has worked, to sleep at night, is taking 2 Benadryl liquigels at bedtime. During the day I drink a lot of water, suck on ricola extra strength cough drops, and I have an albuterol inhaler."


"I had my first seizure at age 56.  Reason still unknown.  The doctors had a terrible time getting them under control.  My husband and I didn't know what was going on.  Zonisamide gave me back my life!  I had some side effects at first, but they passed after about a month.  The side effects I had were drowsiness and a feeling of confusion....but all of this passed.  Then things slowly got back to normal.  Now I have been on the Zonisamide for 3 years and have been seizure free...completely....for 2 years.  This is a good med.  It saved me."


"While using Bactrim my acne cleared up very well and I was very happy. Unfortunately after a month I found out I was allergic to sulfa so I can't take it anymore. Sucks because it was the first thing I took that actually worked! Just my luck."


"The dr administering it didn't ck my chart I have asthma !!! It didn't work either! Anaphylaxis!"


"I have chronic pain in my thigh from degenerative disc disease in L4-L5. I have tried a couple dozen medications and this and Robaxin are the only things that help.

I agree with the previous posts about the dopey feeling and would further suggest that you do not have to drive anywhere, even the next morning. I still felt like I was drunk about 10 hours after taking this medication."


"I really did not intend to review wellbutrin...just curious what other people said...but so much "neg" I felt I had to speak.  I've been on it for 29 YEARS!  I had been seriously depressed for a few months..my therapist was a moron for waiting three months to send me to a Psych! I was told it would take at least 2 weeks to be really effective...for me it was day 17.  I woke up and when I first looked in the mirror(gut check time) I didn't say to myself "wow I feel better"  I said "omg is this what normal people feel like when they wake up in the morning?"  For all practical purposes that was like my actual birthday...the day I became a fully functioning human.  I'm lucky, it works and it keeps working."


"I have had 15 surgeries for injuries sustained through sports and accidents.  I also have severe migraines that started when I was 18. My Xtreme sporting life is over. I am in pain 24/7. Dr too concerned about DEA so I have no solution other than load up on Advil. It worries me now because I'm getting older and the Xtreme pain really ups my BP.

If severe pain and nausea lasts 3 days, I spend the $1k for the ER trip. Although each ER Doc wants to try very weak pain meds that have not worked, if I can get a shot of Dilaudid w phenergan, it seems to break the pain cycle. Morphine may work, but I can actually feel it in my body and that scares me. Just wish I didn't have to wait until I feel I'm dying and spend $1k to get relief from this drug."


"I have generalized anxiety and I've been on this medication for about 3 months now. I saw a psychologist then a therapist for 6 months during my senior year.(I'm a freshmen in college right now.) I stopped seeing a therapist and tried to manage the anxiety on my own. However, it started getting worse the first semester of college. I would always leave the classroom because I felt really anxious. I would cry after class and I decided I needed to do something about it. My doctor prescribed me citalopram 10 mg. I felt jittery and had a dry mouth the first week but my anxiety lessened by a lot. I'm a lot happier now and I'm so glad I decided to start taking citalopram. Hope it helps you too! :)"


"Omg the taste of this med is horrible but it got the job done.  Do eat a lot of food  or drink milk before taking, I had a light breakfast and was at work and my oh my, my head was spinning sooooo fast next thing I know I was catching my own throw up. The med actually works tho."


"I have been taking Buspar for just over 8 months and I take 60-75 mg a day, depending on the day. I take for panic attacks associated with PTSD. I have had no side effects from this, but I do know when I have missed a dose, so when I do come off this I do expect a withdrawal period but for now it has helped me regain a normal life. I take this with a few other medicines such as Celexa, Wellbutrin, Trazadone and seroqeul. This really works."


"I've been on the pill for about 8 years now. doc recommended lutera, I was too young to know the difference/shop around for alternatives, but overall I am very satisfied. most importantly, I'm writing this review as someone who went off of lutera for three months to see what effects it would have on my body. one overwhelming difference I noticed was in my energy levels... I was exhausted ALL the time. I was on a high-iron vegan diet, eating healthy all the time, and getting decent sleep, so the culprit was obvious. being back on lutera for only two days made a huge difference. also my sex drive was WAY too high when I went off of it! to the point where it was a daily inconvenience. now it's back to normal. no significant weight changes."


"I have been taking trisprintec for almost a year now. At first I was perfectly fine with this Birth control, but now I suffer from random headaches, my acne is worse, I tend to cry for no reason especially at night before bed, and I'm always in a bad mood. I have noticed withing this past month I don't really enjoy sex anymore, and it's hard for me to get wet, I have developed Hypertension, and I missed a pill the other day I was in my 3rd week, and I've missed a pill before and been fine, but when the bleeding first started it lasted 7 days and I wrote it off as an early period because I missed a pill, but 3 days later the bleeding returned and hasn't yet stopped. Sunday I start a new BC and hopefully all of these symptoms go away."


"Worked well, controlled my mood swings and hallucinations. Unfortunately I gained 100 pounds in a year and a half. Also remember to get your bloodwork done. My blood pressure and blood sugar shot up really bad."


"Qsymia is definitely what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been dieting for 10 + years, crazy diets, works out routine, diet pills, teas, shakes, phone apps, you name it, I’ve done it and spent way too much on it. Qsymia, alters your mind set, no crazy BM, or running to the bathroom or anything like that at all! It simply helps you to not thinking about food,  feel full much faster, I eat ¾ less of what I used too. Feeling satisfied, feels amazing. It took about 3 week before I really noticed the changes. The first 2 weeks I wasn’t so sure it was going to work. They like to see a weight loss of 6% and I lost 7.8% (17 lbs in 10 weeks, and I don’t know if I would really count the first 2 weeks)."


"I got this 3 yrs ago exactly and overall it wasn't the worst experience. The first 6 months were irritating because my body was getting used to it and my periods were irregular. After that, it started to get more regular and I would get my period about once every 3-4 months. In the last 6 months, it's changed to where I spot very often and for long periods at a time. For the last 3 months, I get my period maybe 2-3x a month which really sucks. Also, I gained about 30 lbs in the first 2 yrs (yes some of it was because of poor diet/exercise but it packed on quickly after my body got used to it). I am happy to be getting it out in 2 weeks and probably won't go back on it. Overall wasn't bad but definitely wasn't the best."


"It did the job."


"Earlier today I was just on this site reading review after review, worried sick about whether or not this worked. It did! This sounds dumb but we didn't technically have sex, but things got pretty serious so I of course got paranoid. I had missed a few days of my BC pill before this, and I started my period the day this happened. I took the pill around 40 hours later, and experienced no side effects. I also started a new pack of birth control the night I took plan b. I took 2 pregnancy tests today which were negative, and my period showed up a few hours ago (4 days late)"


"Insertion was virtually painless. I've had it for almost 5 months and I hardly notice it. No weight gain or loss (I was really hoping to gain weight from it since I'm very skinny). I'd assume the people complaining of weight gain probably produce a lot of eestrogen in general - but I'm not a doctor so don't take my word for it. No mood swings,  no headaches. I still get my period somewhat regularly,  however it's longer by a week or two but lighter. I hardly notice it, my period symptoms have also lightened up a bit (less pimples, less cramps, less attitude). I would recommend this to anyone."


"Given 5 day trial from treating physician.  Experienced a delayed reaction after taking final dose and broke out in full body hives, literally from head to toes.  Had to be treated then for pneumonia and the reaction with 3 follow up visits."


"Was on it for 4 months, thought it was a miracle drug util I found out what it did to my body, caused blood clots, fat clots, which led to fat embolisms, gave me high cholesterol which led to cholesterol plaque in my heart which traveled throughout my my body.  I have been off of it for TWO MONTHS and I'm still trying to recover. ALL TOGETHER HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT TAKE."


"I have suffered from insomnia for decades and have tried many types of drugs for this issue.  I'm currently tapering off clonazepam and have found the Unisom tablets very helpful.  If I take half a pill I fall asleep within an hour and usually am able to go back to sleep in the night.  Took a whole pill last night and slept soundly.  I feel a bit tired today and will try to make do with half a pill from now on.  Nothing worse than insomnia!!"


"I have been taking Viibryd 40mg for 6 weeks. From about the third day I felt an improvement in my mood and energy. But starting around week four my mood started to change for the worst. I was grumpy and had zero patience for anything. My husband, my two year old, my dog, the list went on. Now at week six I'm ready to jump out a window. I have a Drs. appointment this upcoming week. I need to take myself off of this. I had high hopes for this back to square one."


"I used Toviaz for 10 days and its side effects started to be unbearable. So i had to give it up.. Maybe if i would continue to use, it could show its true effects but dry mouth and dizziness made me very bad.."


"This is truly the worst type of birth control. I have been on it for a year and a half and I have been to blind to notice the severity of the change in my behavior. I am angry, irritated, moody, depressed, and I have absolutely no sex drive. I feel as though I have only few emotions left in me, those being anger and other negative feelings. I started at the age of 16 and did not necessarily understand side effects of this pill. I am extremely irritated and angry and I am constantly in arguments with my boyfriend. I never used to be this way and it bothers me that I have been to blind to see the effects it has taken on me. I am currently still on this pill, but I am going to talk to my OBGYN to see how quickly I can switch to anything else."


"The summer I graduated from high school, I worked out hard, ate pretty moderate and I lost over 20lbs. Went from 158 to around 120. I decided to get on birth control so I chose nexplanon. My periods were very heavy and always random before then, my mood was pretty normal at the start. The plus I have not have a single period. So far I've notice symptoms increasing within the last 2 years. I've gained the weight I lost slowly overtime. I tried to compensate and work out even harder and eat right but the weight still doesn't budge. I have high highs and low lows no in betweens. I am starting to lose hair so much theres a few bald spots. For a constant hormonal birth control it does its job but the side effects definitely aren't worth it."


"I read a few of the reviews on this page and many said that in the first month or so they had terrible acne! This is also true with me but this is the only birth control I've been on where my skin is 100% clear after about month three! I also always suffered from SEVERE mood swings with other birth control- crying over nothing, bouts of rage, extreme insecurity- but this is so much better. The only downside is that for some reason I am very tired especially in the morning- it's almost impossible to wake up even with 8 hrs. But the changes in my mood outweigh the tiredness! Great for people who have a lot of bad side effects with other birth controls!"


"This drug almost killed me.  I took 400mg twice a day x 5 days. First day was ok.  The second day I experienced stomachache, agitation, insomnia, nausea, hallucination, nightmares.  The  third day rushed to hospital with blurred vision which lasted for over 11 hours. Never again."


"I have suffered with depression and anxiety for most of my life. One of my best friends convinced me to talk with my doctor about an antidepressant. I tried several different medications. Finally, I was prescribed Wellbutrin 100 mg., which worked pretty well for several years. However, it stopped working so my doctor increased the dosage to 150 mg. Bad idea. I had a seizure and was hospitalized for two days. After this experience, I decided to not take anything. Another bad idea. The depression got so bad, I could hardly function. I went to a new doctor and he prescribed me Lexapro. What a miracle drug. It took sometime to get use to the medicine but once my body adjusted, I started feeling great. I don't recall ever feeling so happy as now"


"Bactrim is the only thing to ever get rid of my acne."


"I have been on Seasonique for almost 2 years and I love it. I had some light spotting the first month or two but I have had no problem since. My periods are much shorter and I have less severe cramping. Before I started taking it I would get extremely sick on my periods and have heavy bleeding and that's why I started the pill. It helps so much and I am very happy with it."


"Works well, Headaches gone in about 2 hours of taking it."


"I have only been on this med for 3 weeks, however, I am very happy with the results so far.  Almost total clearing of plaques on my hands.  I have fought psoriasis for many, many years and this is the clearest my skin has been.  The only side effect I have had is occasionally nausea and diarrhea."


"Very much effective.."


"So far I have only been on this for two weeks and it has already drastically helped my skin! pharmacy noted that it can take 8 weeks for a pimple to form so the best results you'll see in two months but two weeks and I'm already so happy with this topical gel for my face! It does really dry your skin out so I highly recommend using a really good face cream (I'm using nivea mattify so it doesn't have to be a medicated or even an expensive cream just find a good one that wont clog your pores) and I only use the gel when I go to sleep at night not twice a day so I recommend doing this (even just to start if your doctor does want you to use it twice a day ease your way in) the first 4 days I only put it on for 2 hours to let skin get used to it."


"I had mine inserted on Nov 3rd, and here it is December 10th and I am STILL bleeding.  Not enough to warrant a tampon, but enough to be gross, and deter my boyfriend from sex.  When the hell is this bleeding going to end?  At my one month check up appointment my OB GYN said it was normal to bleed for a couple months.  This better stop!

After reading some of the shared situations in this post, I am not feeling too confident that it will."


"I've had 3 injections of Bydureon now, and after reading all the reviews, I feared I would have some of the side effects that have been described, such as nausea and vomiting, which I would not be able to tolerate.  I am thrilled to say I've had NO side effects at this point, and my blood sugars have steadily been dropping.  Not drastically fast, which may be the reason I've had no nausea, but the drop is noticeable.  I'm very happy about that.  I surely had hoped for  help with weight loss like so many reviewers have said they have, but that hasn't happened yet.  I have not noticed a diminished appetite, really.  I try to walk 2 miles a day, which is no problem with the drug.  I'm happy with Bydureon- just wish for help with weight!"


"I'm on 200mg. I have MS fatigue and  I can't get anything done without it. I love this pill."


"I have been on Effexor for 4 years.  My doctor at the time told me I was depressed but since then I was tested for severe sleep apnea. I have tried unsuccessfully 3 times to get off of it.  I was taking 150 mg.  One doctor told me to start taking the 150 every other day then eventually stop.  Horrible side effects.  Dizzy, irritable, bad dreams, sleepy and general flu like symptoms.  I wish I had been told about the possible withdrawal symptoms at the time my doctor had given it to me.  Effexor gave me sweats and I've gained a ton of weight. My new doctor has me on Wellbutrin and is slowly lowering the dosage.  I'm on 37.5 right now and so far so good."


"The depo shot is very effective. I started it because any other birth control I tried to use I either gained weight, became moody, or had a period for a very long stretch of time. My doctor suggested this and it has worked very well. I used to have 10-14 day periods that were very heavy and I had severe cramps. With the depo shot, I have very light, 2 day periods. The only bad thing I can say is that my periods are very irregular. But in all honesty, for two days all I have to wear is a panty liner and I have no cramps. I would highly suggest this to people who are looking for a lighter, cramp free menstral cycle."


"I was on Yaz for about a year and decided to try the generic because of the cost of Yaz (about $60 a month, but had to pay $180 upfront for 90 day prescriptions). They gave me Loryna and I've only been on it for 3 weeks and I'm feeling miserable! I have extreme fatigue, irritability, moodiness and a little breast pain. I know they say to give the pill 2-3 months to work but I don't know if I can handle another 2 more months of these emotions. I've tried A LOT of generic bc pills in the last 5 years since they discontinued the one I was on and I've had problems on all of them. Sometimes those generic "inactive" or "filler" ingredients really do have an impact, be careful and wary of your side effects!! I'm going back on the brand Yaz."


"I have acne and I used this product. Monodox did not clear my acne, however it did keep it from flaring and becoming worse. I am no longer using this medication, but I guess my experience was okay."


"58 mail here Genotype 1a Start of treatment Viral load 8 million after 1 month HCV Not Detected. Thank goodness for Gilead.
 Good luck to all."


"I have read so much about this medication not working. But I don't suffer from a runny nose or congestion exactly. I have allergies that make my sinuses swell shut, and its very painful. Other than good old benadryl, there is no other medication that is even slightly effective for me. I'm curious to find out if anyone has used it for a similar problem and had positive results. All I have seen is that it's a placebo. And I can say with confidence, that is not the case for me."


"I've been on Norvasc for about 15 years after after being tried on almost every blood pressure medication.  It has been the only medication successful at keeping my blood pressure in normal range.  In January of 2009 I was hospitalized in a thyroid storm.  A thyroid storm affects every system in your body and you feel like you are near death.  I was placed on Bystolic to control my heart rate 120 -200 bpm, palpitations and shortness of breath.  I could only tolerate 5mg due to severe drops in my pulse rate 40 - 42 bpm.  I stayed on Bystolic and Norvasc until February of 2010.  I was then instructed to slowly taper off the Bystolic since the thyroid condition was resolved.  I was unsuccessful in tapering off Bystolic without arrhythmias."


"I've had Anxiety since I was a little child 6 yrs old to be exact. So over the years ( I'm 56 now) I've also developed PTSD, OCD Depression And recently agoraphobia..under a former Drs Orders because I'm such a severe case I was prescribed 4mg of xanax and 4mg of Klonopin along with 10/325 hydrocodone 5 times a day for severe neck and back pain from bulging discs causing spinal stenosis all throughout from my neck all the way down to my lumbar spine. Already had spinal fusion at L5S1. I ended up overdosing when he added Percocet. I found a new Dr.and he weaned me safely off of everything and now I'm taking 2400 mg of Gabapentin  it has been a miracle. Best med by far for my Anxiety. Sill need neck surgery but my Anxiety has left the bldg."


"Saved my life and my marriage."


"Ive been suffering from UTI's o & off for the last year. During this time I was prescribed a Sulfate antibiotic which I discovered I was allergic to within hours, I developed hives & blisters all over my face & body. So Cipro was prescribed every time for the UTI's that subsequently followed.  It seemed it took about 5 days before the symptoms to go away but I never felt fully cured because even though the urgency and burning went away, I was having a hard time holding my urine if I had a close to full or full bladder. Then I would have about 2 weeks of feeling ok only to have the UTI start all over again. I was at my wits end. I was prescribe Macro, I felt relief in 2 hours with absolutely no side effects. I hope this is finally the end!"


"Did help with bladder control but stopped due to side effects - symptoms of common cold, aching, chills, mild diarrhea."


"I guess my experience is unique in that I am an eating disorder survivor and my chronic constipation originated from purging (forcing myself to vomit &/or take huge quantities of various kinds of laxatives) for many years... I have been taking Linzess for about 16 months now. I would say it took 3-4 months for it to actually start working for me, but when it did, it seriously changed my life for the better. However, lately it has not really been working at all, which is extremely anxiety-provoking and concerning, as it took me forever to find a solution to my problem...and now I might have to start looking for another."


"I've been on the pill for more than two months and all I can do is complain about it. I started taking it to regulate my periods but all it's done is make me have no periods at all- which doesn't help much either. It made me break out so much, and I'm always moody and angry.. as if I'm PMSing all the time. Not to mention I get all the lousy pre-period symptoms such as back aches and cramps, but no bleeding. "


"I began taking Tri- Nessa to clear up my skin. I have never had perfectly clear skin, but before and during my period my skin ( including back and shoulders) would break out horribly. After only a week of the pill, I noticed my skin was very clear. I have never had such amazing skin! During my period I still get a few zits, but not bad enough to wear makeup. My period never starts until the 5th placebo,and has always been short, but I no longer cramp! My mood is stable, and I have gone up a cup size. I am stopping the pill due to a 10 pound, in three month, weight gain. I'm a runner, and have always been able to maintain my weight.  I intake 2000 calories, burn a 2400/day and went from 120 to 131 in 3 months."


"Warning - Itchy/painful

I used Estradiol Patch (Sandoz) .025 mg for 2 months changing 2x a week.  I also took Progesterone 100 mg daily.  I'm 52, perimenopausal  & suffer from hot flashes every hr during the night. Within a week the hot flashes disappeared BUT got my period every 9 days lasting 5 days so I only had a break of 3-4 days in between. 2 weeks ago I dropped Progesterone to 14 days a month and periods stopped. Shortly after I started to get very itchy & sore within a day of replacing the patch and the hot flashes came back with a vengeance. I now realize I developed an allergy to the patches and still have 8 rectangle discolored itchy patches that won't go away. I switched to Evamist 2 days ago and hope to get relief soon."


"hi this is very good medicines for anxiety treatment , you can use it for when your suffer depression and anxiety. I have also take this for last 2 months before."


"I had back surgery a year and a few months ago for a ruptured L5 that was causing severe pain in my lower back and down my leg. The surgery was not a success and am worse now than I was. Tried injections having nerves catheterized, and physical therapy, none of which helped. My dose of Norco's just kept getting higher and higher to where they couldn't give me anymore and be able to perform my job. My doctor put me on the Butrans patches and the relief I get is absolutely amazing. Very seldom do I have to take the Norco's. I started on the 10 mg and now am at 20mg. Like others my only complaint is about day 5 or 6 they start wearing off then takes a day for new patch to start to work. Overall they have made my life more comfortable than it has been."


"People, please do not use chantix. Do not use. This is deadly medicine. You can go to cemetery in about 10-15 years if you continue smoke. But using Chantix, you can go tomorrow.  Good luck. I do have very bad experience. My girlfriend used this pills did suicide. She was only 43. 4 month later I did cruise from LA to Vancouver for 5 days. I was taking chantex with my girlfriend before. But when she died I stopped it."


"Just to sum things up. I'm 18 years old. Started with prozac
 and went to full dose. Was on prozac for about 1 year at max dose (60mg), but it helped little. I took 50mg Zoloft for 5 weeks. Did see a change in my Anxiety, were it down somewhat. Now I've been on 100mg Zoloft for 3 days, and I have started to get dizzy sometimes at the day. I also have depression and OCD. It has not helped anything with the depression, the anxiety have become somewhat less and my OCD feels worse (do not know if this is a side effect). 4 weeks from now I will up to 150mg Zoloft, if the 100mg shows little improvements. My doctor says after full dose of Zoloft, there will be the option to try Cipralex. Im rather for trying CBD (medicinal cannabis)."


"I have been on it for about four years, during which my dosage has increased substantially.  I cant help but think that tolerance forms with it, that the longer I'm on it, the less effective its become."


"Do not get this. It has been a nightmare from day one. First had the Nexplanon put in March 2015, and it has ruined my life. I had horrible bleeding constantly that would last for up to 3 weeks. Not light bleeding/spotting, straight up gushing blood. I have no sex drive. Horrific headaches every day. Terrible dizziness. Ache. Disgusting dandruff. I'm exhausted . Have no energy. And I cannot stop gaining weight. This was the worst choice I have ever made and I am finally having it taken out this week. Please, I beg you to reconsider if you're thinking of getting this. It has made me hate myself and feel like I'm becoming psychotic. Over a year and a half of misery."


"This worked really well for me for depression but I also have ADHD and had to stop Adderall.  I actually got low blood pressure from this with headaches and what made it normal was eating cheese and taking Adderall.  Would still be taking it if I could get prescribed Adderall at the same time."


"Bupropion, the generic version, makes me feel more on top of things. I do feel the medicine kick in after about an hour and I get a bit "high" if you will. It's a feeling of motivation to go do things and be productive. The first time I was on Wellbutrin (one month), it only lasted about 2 hours (at least what I could feel) and ended up not caring about anything for the rest of the day. Then recently I started Wellbutrin XL 150MG and it lasts much longer. I made the mistake of taking it at night, when I should have taken in the morning. Bad insomnia because of it, but I learned my lesson. I'd say it is the only antidepressant that has worked on both depression and ADHD by helping me concentrate, remember, stay on track, and also motivation."


"I feel as if I am retaining fluids while using this medication. I do have extreme thirst also."


"Been taking this birth control for 8 months now since giving birth. Pros are light periods that last 3-4 days, 5 tops and they always come on time. No pregnancy so that's good. Cons.. (Well, my only MAJOR con) is WEIGHT GAIN!!!! I am constantly gaining weight every month and it's scary. Every time I step on the scale I've gained another 2-3lbs. I don't even eat a lot & have never gained weight this rapidly in my life. So far I've gained 13lbs since starting this pill.. It's depressing & I cry about it. Also it is almost impossible to lose the weight other than practically starving yourself. Contraceptive side of Mononessa is good but the weight gain is NO GO!!!"


"I went to the doctor today and I had been itching and light discharge for about three weeks. I took my pill at 11a.m. and by 12 o clock I felt 100 percent better."


"It's so bad I wouldn't suggest. I have had it since December 31,2014

I have major weight gain, mood swings,depression, body aches,sleeping a lot,nausea,vomiting,don't get no periods, can't keep track of my periods,decreased sex drive,breast tender and pain in breast,hair loss,anxiety, eating all the time,snapping, Moody, irritated, don't wanna go out, bad stomach pain and cramps. Starting today June 20,2016 I feel like I can't eat I can't take any type of smell I'm super nauseous I can not deal getting it taken out some time next month because I'm always assuming stuff and depressed. My 1 year old daughter even noticed the new actions and moods from her mommy and that's now good. Do not get this please don't or it might be hell."


"I have taken Tenuate Dospan for 2 months; I take every other day. I lost 7 pounds so far. I feel great!"


"Been on it for one week. 150XL dry mouth. Lost voice. Insomnia. But I was up and Adam chipper and slaying at work!!!! Like being on speed!!!! Went down to 75mg to try and see if helped. ...Constant muscle spasms and a feeling of hypertension in my arms. Heart rate seems higher. Just feel not worth it. Plus did u see the withdraw experiences? Atrocious. Getting off before it's too late. Don't need high blood pressure this young."


"Ive been taking Ambien for 1 and 1/2 years. I think it works great, especially when traveling. Sometimes just 5 mg does it, and I have even used just 1/4 sometimes. It just relaxes the mind to let you sleep. The only time I did something silly was when I had a few drinks and took one. That's not good."


"I've recently switched from Trinessa (taken for 18 years) to Amethia (taken for 6 months).  I discontinued Amethia mostly due to mood change & weight gain.

Pros:  Effective in preventing pregnancy, normal periods lasted 4-5 days once every 3 months.

Cons:  Severe moodiness and impatience in first 1 1/2 months which turned to moderate depression for remaining months and overall general unhappiness.

Increased appetite which led to increase weight gain in the belly (5-7 lbs in 6 months).

Extreme bloating in belly area in the 2nd & 3rd month in each cycle.

Mild monthly cramping during times when period normally comes.

Bone & muscle pain - mostly in knees & legs & teeth.

Cost of medication was high (based on my insurance coverage)"


"It is awesome. I totally recommend Celexa. Do not be afraid of taking this: It really works: You will bathe in tranquility without feeling anything different: The best way to describe it is to be at a Spa relaxing yet fully awake and functioning normally. I am definitely converted and I am converting everyone I know. It works: I guarantee it."


"All the people on here saying about stomach pain thats down to ur doctor as their suppose to give you a pill called omeprazole along with etodolac to protect ur stomach"


"About 5 years ago I noticed that I was getting extremely upset over little things. I talked to my doctor about it and we decided it was most likely depression causing the erratic moods and sleeplessness. She put me on Lexapro. The first 2 weeks were great but then the side effects were too much. I felt like I was on a roller coaster and when I got upset, I would be filled with rage. I had to stop taking it and switched to Zoloft. I like it but now I am looking for something else because I just don't feel like I am living life just cruizing through it."


"I'm 20 years old and I've definitely gained weight and my breasrs have gotten bigger since I started this medication, but I'm not too worried about those things.  The only problem with it is having an extremely long and heavy period.  At first I was using Ortho Evra, but had to switch to Xulane because of insurance.  Other than the heavy periods, everything is fine.  They are regular and even if my boyfriend and I don't use condoms, we've never even had a scare.  It works perfectly."


"I have mild asthma. Albuterol works really fast when I need it."


"After being diagnosed at age 35, with narcolepsy and REM sleep behavior disorder my ENT put me on Nuvigil 150mg to help me stay awake during the day. I'll tell you what, it didn't do a darn thing. My kids actually said they thought it made me more tired. He then bumped it up to 250mg and I'd say it helped for an hour or so. It gave me horrible headaches, lock jaw and teeth grinding, pretty much no appetite, but the worst part of all had to be how bad it ALWAYS made my stomach hurt and how I felt like I was going to throw up most of the time. It definitely didn't help me and I'd still find myself falling asleep and needing a few naps each day. I also ended up losing 7 lbs in 3 weeks, which wasn't good for me since I'm already very thin."


"I am on day 12. I took the first dose in the evening & the next morning I woke w/ the strong metallic taste in my mouth. That taste is there every morning, but I can easily wash it away w/ a drink of water. Around days 4-6, I had very loose stools from everything I ate. Since then, it has been off & on, but I have at least one loose stool every day. My h pylori infection caused at least 2 ulcers so I was experiencing a lot of nausea before, which has gradually improved w/ this med--something must be working. This med gave me really bad yeast infections (both oral & vaginal) but gargled w/ hydrogen peroxide a few times & it cleared up. And treated the "other" area. This med has been tough, but still better than the h pylori  and ulcer symptoms."


"After taking Next Choice One Dose - I experienced three periods in one month, intestinal pain, constipation, headaches, and high blood pressure. I am a healthy run of the mill 23 year old, so I was extremely surprised by these side effects. I had taken Next Choice once before when it was a two dose. It did not have this effect on body, cycle, or hormones. It has been a hard month due to this medication - but it's better than an unwanted pregnancy. I don't want to discourage anyone from taking this. I just want them to know what they may have to go through. Like I said, it's still a small price to say."


"I took Sprintec for 3 years, it was my first birth control. When I first got on it I had cramping for about a week and then it was fine. My periods came like clock work every month! I gained no weight and it helped stop my breakouts. Overall I have no complaints about this pill, until recently... Randomly I started bleeding. I had a period for about a month, give or take a few days when it would stop. Because of that I have now switched pills because I just need higher estrogen. This pill is great & I would recommend it to anyone!"


"No periods in three years. Doctor said this is a side effect. Worked incredibly well for me. Have just got another inserted."


"I'm on day 2 this drug is amazing a little nauseous but worth it"


"We are trying it since our 7 month old son had RSV and has chronic lung issues and asthma problems since. It is working very well.  He has also been exposed several times to hand, foot, and mouth disease (coxsackie virus) and has only had a couple of blisters so I think it helped him not break out as bad. Something worth researching."


"Caused dizziness and nausea initially. Did lose some weight but worried about the side effects so stopped."


"I have been taking this medicine for 3 weeks.  During the three weeks I have experienced severe mood swings to the point of psychosis.  I have had irritability on a daily basis and worsening of depression.  The psychosis has made me stop taking the medicine.  I had been on Seroquel for years and because of a huge weight gain, I stopped taking it.  I don't know where to go from here."


"I'm 21, I've been on this pill for about 5 months now and it's been terrible. I got on this pill because I wouldn't get a period for about 4 or 5 months and when I finally got my period it was super heavy and cramps were unbearable. I now get a period every month and they are light, last 4-5 days, but I still get intense cramping. I also have dark brown spotting every month probably a week after my period and that lasts another week. But this month I have been spotting none stop and waking up with cramps everyday. Ever since I started it I have also had the worst mood swings, crying at everything, been pushing my boyfriend away and it's been effecting our relationship badly, 0 sex drive and severe depression and making my anxiety worse."


"I have severe bipolar disorder.  I have taken it all and then some and when it came down to the bottom line my doctor and I decided to go old school.  Without Lithium, I cannot imagine where I would be.  I also take an anti-depressant and a bit of Xanax for anxiety, and I admit I still have a little problem with anger but no where near as bad as it was. "


"Technically Nexplanon was "effective" because I did not get pregnant when I had it inserted. However, I had a plethora of side effects that made the experience 100% not worth it. It works in some women's bodies, but during my 3 weeks of use, I fainted twice, had a migraine for 3 straight weeks, vomited sporadically, and had extreme mood swings. I cried more during those 3 weeks than I have in the last three years simply from being in such bad pain from the migraines and from being more emotionally sensitive than I have ever been. HOWEVER, the procedure of implantation and removal were not very painful at all. If you are interested in trying it, you should because it might work for your body. If not, just get it removed."


"First taking this drug I was skeptical because of the reviews where not assuring but, I tried it anyways because I had no where else to turn with the discomfort of IBS. I have been taking this medication for 3 months and it has done wonders worst part for me was starting the medication which gave stomachs cramping and fatigue tho, only lasted a couple days during the second month. I experienced constipation which was very new to me so I followed up with the doctor . He insisted for me to take only once a day instead of twice and I have had complete relief of the constipation in as little as three days. I do not have a gallbladder and this medication Works for me."


"I have been smoke free for my 4th day now.  I have tried several other things in the past, but did not work for me.  There was always the physical and the psychological withdrawals.  I can honestly say that I have not experienced any physical withdrawals symptoms at all, and moderate cravings.  I actually think that I will be able to finally quit smoking.  I have had some vivid dreams for the first week that I started taking the medicine, but have not had any in the last three or four days.  I would urge anyone to try this medication and see for yourself.  You will be amazed when you reach your quit date and do not feel all that bad and realize you just have to do some things to work on getting through the few minutes when the cravings come."


"This's my first time writing a review.  I'm doing this today to share my experience with you beautiful ladies, who are having difficulties conceiving due to pcos. I'm 31, My period had been irregular since I was 14, Some times I don't menstruate for a whole year. I was misdiagnosed at first and in 2015 I had a proper diagnoses which happen to be pcos. My husband and I got married in 2014 since then we started trying to conceive with no luck for one  year. My OBGYN put me on metformin 500mg daily, I took it for three months my period never came  and I talk to my endocrinologist, she increased my dose  gradually to 2500mg max. Two weeks later my period came and the following month I got pregnant with my daughter! She's 8months and 2 weeks"


"It works as sleeping pill!! rather then for allergic!!"


"Have been using Xiidra for 6 weeks and have noticed a marked improvement in my eyes. I have blepharitis and meibomian. I also wear gas perm contacts and was down to being able to wear them for 2 hours a day and now up to 10 hours. Still using warm compresses and lid scrubs but since using xiidra I have noticed a marked improvement in tear production and eye oil production. Stinging has decreased to a few seconds and bad taste lasts only a minute or less. Cloudy vision can last 5 to 10 minutes...sometimes none present."


"I have severe seasonal allergies as well as severe allergies to dust and mold. I had gone through the gamut of second generation antihistamines (Claritin, Zyrtec and Allegra) with minimal success in treating my extreme symptoms. I decided to try the first generation antihistamine: Benadryl. Of course, it's been around for a long time, but it's definitely the most effective. The drawback to this older antihistamine is that it causes sleepiness, and it's not slight. Also, the newer antihistamines can be taken once a day, while Benadryl doses last only 4-6 hours. But to this extreme allergy sufferer, it's a small tradeoff, because it certainly treats the symptoms far better. "


"I have been taking Spironolactone 100 MG everyday now for the past 3 months.  My face broke out under my neck area and this has cleared it up tremendously.  I don't notice any side affects and I already pee a-lot because I drink lot's of water.  I am also using Rodin and Fields Skin Care and i use Epiduo Forte Gel as well.  My face looks amazing now and is very soft.  Definitely works very well!"


"Severe allergic reaction I had tarry stools, severe diarrhea, stomach pain, weakness, itchiness."


"When I first went on the pill, it was to help with my pmdd, which I will say, helped significantly. However, I have NOO SEX DRIVE. I used to masturbate at least once or twice every day but now I'm lucky if I can even make myself orgasm in a month. Orgasms don't feel very good anymore and nothing turns me on. Sex is painful and boring. Other than that, it did make my periods a bit shorter which is one positive of this pill. The first week I was on the pill I was super queasy ugh! Some other side effects have been weight gain (only about 3-5 pounds but still), and horrible acne in the first 3 months. I'm seeing my obgyn soon because my low sex drive is hurting my relationship and makes life miserable."


"I am a Derm nurse. I used the coupon, got mine free plus got samples from office. If you use it at first sign of a flare it's great. It is kind of messy and I had white medicine on my teeth. 1 pill better than taking Valtrex up to 5 days."


"Following a heart attack, I was given Plavix and Lisinopril, and had a severe allergic reaction resulting in pain in my joints.  Tried a few other, stronger pain killers, Darvocet 100/650 is the only thing that took the pain away.  When I get up I take 2 and I am pretty much pain free within an hour, wonderful medicine!  I do hope the FDA does not ban this medicine or perhaps mix it with aspirin instead of acetaminophen.  I would certainly not want to give it up, no bad side effects, just pain relief."


"I was on Kariva for over 3 years and loved it.  Had no problems and a regular period.  However, I had to switch to Microgestin because Kariva isn't readily available in my state, I would have had to order out.  According to my doctor the closest birth control to Kariva was this one.  It really scares me.  I'm on my third pack and my periods have been significantly lighter, and that's awesome.  BUT they weren't nearly as regular as they used to be AND this is the second time I've experienced bleeding in between periods while on this birth control.  Stressful indeed! I'm not so sure how long I want to stay on Microgestin, not a fan of the in-between bleeding."


"My mind is going 1,000 mph all the time - especially when I try to sleep.
My doctor prescribed 50 mg pills and told me to split the tablet in half and take at night before I go to bed.  WOW!  What a great relief!  I CAN SLEEP without the side effects of Ambien!(I took Ambien for a short time and never remembered the things I did!). I recommend this to anyone who wants to get a good nights sleep and not feel drowsy when you wake up.  Instead of only getting a couple of hours of sleep a night, I can usually get 6-7 now!"


"I have been taking the victoza for about 3 months and now all of a sudden I feel like if I eat anything even a piece of toast my stomach will explode. I do not like the over full feeling and have to vomit to get any relief. I will be stopping this medication and contacting my Dr."


"I like Wellbutrin SR. It helps me lose weight I was at 174 and now at 155 where I should be. I have tried over 11 medications, but this seems to work great. It gives me more energy which I need working 2 jobs."


"I've had eczema ALL my life and I was starting to think nothing's working from Hydrocortisone creams all the way to natural aloe Vera but my new doctor prescribed this and I've never looked better! The flare ups are under control and my skin is almost clear"


"I have used many birth control options and this one is one of my favorite. While I have experienced some side effects small acne problems (minor) and I am longer getting my period, I am happy with other aspects of Implanon. I have a sex drive and no vaginal dryness which are two pesky side effects I encountered with the NuvaRing and the Pill. Insertion was fast and easy and it lasts for three years so what more could you want? My appetite has not been affected and I have not experienced any weight gain."


"It makes me while feeling sleepy and walking afterwards: bump into walls most days I think, but then I have Epitol I take with it too. My foggy tiredness afterward, doesn't last, and I take it around 9:30 or 10 at night, usually. Fortunately, at 50mgs now (25mgs lower), I can fall asleep the way I used to on 75mgs, as I've also cut down on Tegretol, some. I am not taking any Anti-depressants or anti-Psychotics or Hydroxypam for sleep these days, so: Trazodone does help me, but I don't get sleepy til about 3-4:15 A.M. I sleep 8-10 hours with it though. I'd have no quality sleep or sleep at all, without it. I must also say: sometimes after taking it or Tegretol even, I feel the need for vitamin C with Bioflavonoids or D3.  Then I can sleep."


"on 1/24/2017 I started taking 1 pill of Adipex 37.5mg once a day. I started at 262lbs. As of today 3/8/17 I now weigh 247lbs. It gives me energy without the jitters. I also suppresses my appetite I force myself to eat 5 small meals a day.  I also do at least a 30 min workout 4 times a week. Adipex works! My normal doctor will not prescribe this medication so I see a weight loss doctor. I pay 100.00 a month for the meds."


"This is like the best ever. I've been using it for a year. I haven't got pregnant yet!"


"Ok I was just prescribed this today.I just read the reviews and am very excited to get the same results.I'm at 275 now on 6/2/15.I will update in a month..."


"I took Saxenda at the highest dose for a total of 6 months. I had only lost about 3 lbs at week 12 but decided to continue since I had bought 6 months supply. I had absolutely no side effects. No nausea, no loss of appetite. Did nothing for me and at the end of 6 months I hadn't lost a pound. VERY disappointed since I know other people who lost a ton of weight effortlessly. BTW, I had bariatric surgery 10 years ago and was trying to halt regain."


"I used Yasmin for over 5 years without any issues. It had no impact on my weight and cleared my skin beautifully - however perhaps gave it a tendency to be a little too dry. When I stopped the pill acne returned very quickly. It worked without any issues as birth control.
In the last months, however, I developed nausea to the pills - for some reason simply the thought of taking them gave me nausea, and at some point when I had to take two at the same time I threw up bile the next morning. I continued to take the pills for a little while, but the nausea was clearly associated with them, not any other factor, so eventually I had to switch to a different brand and composition. I would still recommened; they were OK for a long time."


"This worked well for hot flashes/night sweats"


"I started using dapsone gel last year after I had been prescribed Epiduo and suffered a chemical burn on my face that left me not being able to work for 2 weeks. I had extremely dry eczema on my face as well as acne so I didn’t know what to use. It took 2 months before I started noticing a difference. I now have completely clear even toned skin, a sometimes get 1 pimple a month but that’s it. I 100% think it was because of Aczone. The key is to only apply a pea sized amount before bed all over your face and don’t mix it with any other creams or products because I think it disturbs it’s effectiveness. I don’t even wear foundation anymore!"


"Awful as I'm writing this. Its 1:30 am and I am up, and I can't sleep, and it made me cough so much more!!! I have a baby and now that I can't sleep because of this medicine I'm going to be miserable tomorrow!! I Don't recommended to anyone!"


"I am a long time sufferer of frequent (chronic) migraines, up to 15+ a month. I have used sumatriptan since it became available, both in pill form and self-injection. Yesterday I tried the new patch “Zecuity” for the first time (and likely the last). The actual cost per patch is about $300.00. The packaging is ridiculous: a box overnight delivered which was about two feet square with a weight of about 15 pounds. It contained a large, thick styrofoam container, six special, red “PureTemp Bricks”, designed to keep the drug at room temperature (it must be kept between 68 it 77 degrees Fahrenheit–NOT refrigerated), and a box of four patches. The patches themselves contain the medication, but also the “release/delivery” system which includes a computer chip, the red light to indicate activation and completion of medication delivery (four hours–then the light turns off and patch can be removed) and two lithium-manganese dioxide batteries (perchlorate material), which are considered TOXIC WASTE by the federal government and cannot be thrown away in the regular trash. Instructions say to contact your local authorities to inquire how to properly (and legally) dispose of the used patches. The above in and of itself should give most people pause as to whether this is all worth it. But, as anyone who is suffering from a migraine will tell you, the pain and other symptoms are so bad you feel like you’d try practically anything. So, hey, even though this is the same drug, maybe this fancy delivery system is the magic relief we have been searching for. Personally, sumatriptan lessons the duration and severity of my migraines but has never “relieved’ them. It may for some, but not for me. Other than the powerful narcotics I take for other chronic pain, it’s the only other thing that helps at all. Of course, there are strict limits on the number of times it can be used per month for safety reasons, so I can only use it for my worst migraines. The limit on the patches: no more than four per month. So, okay, I decide to give them a try. I followed all of the (somewhat detailed and involved) instructions and “activate it”, apply it, and push the “start” button and the little red light comes on. Within a few minutes, I start to feel a tingling, itchy, burning sensation, though not too bad and certainly not unbearable, or even anything as bad as the pain of the migraine. Within about five minutes, the gel (I assume the medication), starts to ooze out the sides of the patch, making a sticky mess and of course causing the adhesive of the patch to stop working and the thing starts to practically fall off. Okay, the directions say if there are problems with the patch staying in place to use medical tape. So I use medical tape. All around the entire patch I use medical tape. Five minutes later, even the medical tape starts to come loose due to the ozzing gel, so I apply even more tape, a lot of tape. I am also concerned that there is more medicine sticking to the tape than being absorbed into my body. I also only feel, very slightly, any effect of the sumatriptan. I felt a mild burning sensation the entire time the patch was on, as well as red, irritated, itchy, rashy skin upon removal. Oh yeah, and now what the heck do I do with this environmentally hazardous medical waste? Are most users really going to properly dispose of these things? As far a headache relief, obviously intramuscular injection is a quicker way of getting this drug into your body, to provide whatever amount of relief you are going to get from it as quickly as possible. Another consideration: my health insurance required Prior Approval to cover the patches, part of which was a statement from me and my doctor that the other forms of ingestion of sumatriptan (pill, self-injection, intranasal spray) were inadequate and that I required the patches. When I found that out, I refused and told my doctor to do the same. I had little faith that a 4-hour patch of the same drug would work better than a 5 second injection, and I did not want to give up my ability to keep receiving the injections. The drug company provided the one month free trial (four patches), so I agreed to try them. Several years ago, I remember how happy I was when Imetrix finally went generic and I was able to obtain sumatriptan much cheaper. It saved me (and my insurance company) a lot of money. I don’t really want to give that up either. So, I suppose that there are people who may find these patches amazing and effective, especially those who for whatever reason are unable or unwilling to use the self-injections. For me however, considering all of the factors above, I think I’ll stick with the injectable (pun intended), and sometimes the pills, as I don’t like to carry the auto-injections around in my purse (I already have to carry an epipen with me…). I wish the best to other migraine sufferers; perhaps the patches will give them the relief they seek. For me however, they are not the answer."


"This is my first time taking this medicine. I was diagnosed with bronchitis and ear infection. I was told to take probiotics to prevent any diarrhea. I have not had any side effects. I'm feeling much better."


"This medicine is horrible. I last 2 days on only 25 mgs. The side effects are not worth it."


"I am oveweight. I have gone up and down with my weight for years. I used this medication 10 years ago when I lost a quick 60 lbs. I felt great and had energy like never before. I started going to the gym and within a few weeks found out I was pregnant. Well my daughter is now 7. I am heavier now than before I got pregnant. 100 lbs heavier. I was borderline diebetic so I am taking this medicine again so I can spend fun time with my daughter and not become diabetic. I love it."


"For the last 20 years I have had issues with IBS-D. I'd say I would have a "normal" bowel movement 5% of the time with about 1-2 occurrences of rushing to the bathroom per day and the rest of the time just unpleasant bowel movements. My Gastro prescribed 75mg Viberzi and it worked almost immediately. I'd say in the first week I had two occurrences of diarrhea and the rest of the time I was "normal".  After a month I have had diarrhea a total of 3 times, and had some of my best bowel movements in the last 20 years. I've even eaten Taco Bell several times and not had to go. It is truly freeing to not feel nervous about whether I would make it home in time after eating dinner."


"Absolute gold. "


"I have suffered from anxiety since I was 17. I had a very traumatic experience and I believe that is what triggered my GAD. It got horribly bad while going through a custody battle and dealing with my ex. I was taken to the hospital during a severe attack and formally diagnosed for the second time with GAD. I was presecribed Clonazepam and it has worked wonders for me. I have been on it for a little over a year. Granted my doses do go up occasionally. I started at .25 and slowly moved to 1mg. I refuse to take Xanax because of an addiction I had when I was a teenager. I take my meds as prescribed. 1mg 2x daily. There are days I try to control my anxiety and do pretty well and won't need my meds and then other days where I definitely need it."


"I had my nexplanon inserted in the beginning of March. It's now September. I've lost a tremendous amount of hair, I've been on my period for 3 (long) weeks. I break out a lot more. My periods are completely irregular and come whenever they please (and apparently come to stay). My cramps are just awful and they're newly accompanied by back pain. Add to that daily migraines- may be caused by anemia though I'm not sure. Just overall an awful experience I can't wait to take it out"


"My experience was horrible. I had to stop because all the side effects became too much for me and it was affecting my every day work. As soon as I started taking this, I began getting headaches, nausea, dizziness and my skin completely broke out. I have had good skin my whole life and my face completely broke out. Also, my hair started falling out uncontrollably. I was afraid to even run my hand through my hair. I stopped taking this when these side effects became unbearable and my lips even broke out. I began getting a lip rash and getting bumps all over my lips. The doctor said it was one of the side effects, in addition to my face breaking out. I was also crying all the time and overly emotional. The side effects were too much to handle"


"Since beginning my period at the age of 12, I have experienced tremendous pain. So much so that I'd miss school, work, events, etc. I'd be in bed writing in unbelievable pain for the first day or two...on the toilet bent over in pain and dropping clots...losing weight...having absolutely zero energy - it'd take me about a week to feel somewhat normal again after each period. I've tried everything - you name it, I've tried it.  Since my new gynecologist prescribed naproxen, it has been LIFE CHANGING. The first time I took it, the beginnings of pain were gone in 20 minutes! So, for the first time in 22 years, I had NO pain with my period. That's a LONG time to have pain! I can't believe no one gave this to me sooner! It's GREAT!"


"Definitely helps the migraines but not my waistband =(.  Ever since I started taking Corgard, I keep packing weight on."


"My 15 year old daughter has been self-administering somatropin (under the names Humatrope or Norditropin - dependent upon insurance provider choice) since the age of 8. Great results regarding height. Prognosis without this medicine was a max height of 4'8". She is now 5'2". She has had no complications or side effects. Her only complaint is that the increased long-bone growth has given her large feet (size 10) and very long fingers. I suppose that is a "plus" for those interested in playing the piano! "


"Was on this all last summer and felt fantastic. Then my psychiatrist took me off of it, and in 6 weeks I crashed into my deepest depression ever. Put back on it but took a while to work. Now that I am stable again, feeling good, she wants me off it again. I refused and found a new Doctor. I would never be without this, plus it kills my food cravings when depressed."


"This medicine, although it has to be administered by IM every 2 weeks has been WONDERFUL. I've been on it almost 2 years now. My husband gives me my injections at home. I don't even think I have eexperienced any side effects. I am more focused and relaxed and not as flat."


"I suffered a burn to my fingertips at work, and the nurse smeared Silvadene on. I thought it was odd to put ointment on a burn but let him do it anyway. Within an hour, it was as if my fingers were just a bit calloused, such as from playing the guitar. I was totally free of pain and had complete function in my fingers. I wish this stuff was available OTC; it would save people a lot of needless misery from small but painful burns."


"Well, I'm not pregnant so that's the only reason I gave this thing 2 stars. I have, however, had my period for 8 of the past 9 weeks and if I were a stronger woman I would dig this thing out with a plastic spork my damn self. Unfortunately, I am a giant pansy and have to wait for an appointment which is scheduled for tomorrow (Halle-freakin-Lukas). With a NEW Gyno, one who didn't suggest I implant this inhumane torture device into my poor unsuspecting arm. If your uterus is tilted as mine was, and the Iud implantation was unsuccessful stick to the pill or literally ANY OTHER METHOD. And if your doctor recommends placing this devil stick in your arm, punch them in the face and run! You don't need that type of negativity in your life."


"Im 20 and took one shot back in October, my husband and I decided on trying for a baby within the next year so I did go for the second shot in December. The first month was great but ever since then I will go almost a month bleeding off a week or so then another month and I have the worst cramps ever. I am just now starting to get over the mood swings and depression. My face broke out bad, clearing up now. I also gained 20 Ibs and I know that was from the shot because I eat right and exercise. I will never take this again and will never recommend it to anyone. Now hopefully it will hurry and be completely out of my system so we can start making babies."


"This medicine did lower my blood pressure but after being on it for about 2 months, I began to have trouble urinating. At first I thought I was getting a bladder infection but the symptoms would come and go. Mainly occurring right after I took the pill. I decided to stop taking it for a while to see if the symptoms went away and they did. I also had swelling of my hands and I gained 5 pounds. "


"I started on 25 mcg of Synthroid two weeks ago and it has made me short tempered.  The effect is subtle, but its there."


"I took arimidex for five months after a mastectomy. The first few months I had very little problems apart from a severe farty bottom and abdominal pain.

Then it hit me that awful debilitating pain so many people talk about. I couldnt close my hands in the morning and when I got out of bed I could barely walk my legs were so stiff. I tried physio, dry needling, glucosamine, tumeric and various rubs to no avail. I developed huge knotty muscle lumps on my legs and tummy. My oncologist advised me to have a short break and I noticed differences almost straight away. I could actually walk again and after two weeks everything settled. I have just started tamoxifen and I am crossing my fingers that all goes well. I really want the insurance."


"I found Atarax as the best antihistamine pills for my Allergy.
I have eczema and each time I used Atarax it help me a lot."


"I have been on Sprintec for about 1 year and 8 months. I believe it has been horrible for me. My sex drive is down which effects my husband and I's relationship. I have had this constant moodiness &  roller coaster of emotions that I could not figure out where it was coming from until I started researching when it started and what could be causing it. My skin is clear, I don't have much weight gain nor have I had a baby, but side effects are too much for me. "


"I usually don't comment on these websites and my experience may not be the same as yours, but it may be helpful. If you're suffering from anxiety, stay far away from Wellbutrin. Within the third day of taking this medication, I was crazy depressed, happy full blown anxiety attacks everyday. Dwelling on the negative and life just seemed hopeless. Basically the depression and anxiety got worse and my traumas felt even scarrring! have never felt this horrible-- had to take clonazepam everyday. Wellbutrin increases your energy if you're depressed, so you can already tell what happens when you suffer from anxiety! Anxiety + a big boost in energy = hell."


"I got the Mirena in a month ago the procedure didn't hurt at all.The first two weeks the only problem I had was dizziness.About a week ago I started bleeding and have not stopped and I am cramping very very bad. I am starting to think I may have to get it removed."
