"I have been on this pill for almost a year now and it has been pretty good! In the beginning, my periods were still very heavy and cramp-induced. I also had mood swings and got depressed for some time, but not sure if that was entirely due to the pill. About 3-4 months into the pill, my body adjusted, my periods regulated and are much lighter and shorter. I had moderate acne and this pill has improved my skin. Still get a breakout every now and then, but I'm grateful. I'm just a bit scared for when I come off the pill (will my acne return with a vengeance?)"


"I have experienced severe pain and muscle spasms in my back for 35 years. Soma along with my narcotic analgesics have been a godsend. Soma helps me relax and sleep and start to work fairly quickly. I take 4 a day."

"After 2 months on the generic form of this pill, my doctor suggested I move to Loestrin. It seemed pretty awesome because for the 3 months I was on it, I had no periods or cramps. I did experience weight gain, breast tenderness, major mood swings, loss of libido and slight increase in acne. Personally, I loved not having periods. It was cool and it saved me money on tampons. But the lack of sex drive was enough to convince me and my doctor that this wasn't the birth control for me. I've switched to Ortho Tri-cyclen and lost the 7 pounds I had gained in the 3 months I was on Loestrin. I'm cramping and having periods again but my sex drive is back at a decent level and my emotions are better in check.

Don't be afraid to switch birth controls."


"I sufffer from ulcers & get acid indigestion all the time. Of course with that I experience nausea daily..... when it gets too intense I take a 4 mg zofran and within 20-30 minutes it subsides. I thank God this medicine was created!! In the beginning I would get constipated for about 24 hours after taking a pill but don't have that anymore. I am thankful for this medicine bc I HATE nausea/vomiting."


"I believe a lot of the negative side effects can be attributed to lack of food and water. Once I started to eat and drink (even though I didn't feel like it) the foggy brain, dry eyes and other side effects went away (I am still loosing weight though :) ) and still no migraines. I also split my dosage 50 mg morning and night and this has also help minimized side effects."


"Hi I've been taking lexapro since 2014
it helps a lot
although I still have some anxiety but it works wonders, no side effects I take 20mg"


"After trying different medications, seroquel 50mg just changed my life. It is quite sedative but i do a lot of sport as well and have a lot of energy.

Iam stable since 3 years with seroquel.

Life saver"


"I am on day 4 still waiting for complete relief. Have been ill.  Have suffered both constipation and diarrhea, but mostly, still have sinus and headaches."


"This is a very old, and very under-rated pain medicine with very few side effects.  It has been the wonder drug for me!"


"I finally found a doctor who listened to me. Methadone is the God send I was looking for, for chronic pain. I have my life back again."


"I am now on bydureon for nine weeks now. So far I lost 30 and a half pounds.  I am eating right and exercising with the injection. I have some nausea the first 2 days after injection but not real bad. Also at injection site I was getting lumps but took someone's advice on here to apply ice for 15 minutes after injection and it works. I am very grateful to have this meds."


"WORST PILL. Went on it for around 5 months and it made my life a living hell. Almost immediately, I experienced an annoying, impossible to get rid of weight gain. Went from a B cup to a D/DD cup, depending on the time of the month. I also experienced some serious bloating around my stomach and could not get rid of it. Around the same time, I also became incredibly moody. As the months went on, this only got worse. Along with my moodiness, I became anxious, depressed and found that my libido had disappeared completely. Ultimately, I felt as if I had become a different person completely and decided to toss my remaining packs. While my weight and mood went back to normal, my libido took forever to reappear and I still feel it's not the same."


"This patch has been bullet proof... Had unprotected sex for 3 years and it got the job done. I first put it on my butt, but I got morning sickness at 3 am every day on the dot. I moved the patch to my shoulder and no more sickness. I do spot during periods and bleed after sex. I get very light periods (and they were very heavy before the patch). The worst part? I get extreme ovarian pain in the same ovary monthly to the point where it hurts to cough, sneeze, lift myself up and walk. Been to several doctors and they didn't find anything on my ovary but it feels the size of a golf ball in me. Aside from the ovarian pain, I love it. I feel safe on it. If you get sick, try placing the patch somewhere else."


"I started taking victoza February 2015 @the smallest dose 0.6. My a1c level was over 15.  By March my a1c level went down to 10. By May my a1c was 8.9  in sept my a1c level was 8.1. Today October is 8.0.  I lost a total of 15lbs From jan to now. At the lower dose had some nausea and diarrhea that subsided. By June I was at the highest level of the victosa. This caused serious diarrhea,nausea,vomiting,eggy burping and severe gas. I'm got off victosa and symptoms went away but sugars increased. I'm now trying farxiga lets hope this med does just as well without side effects. I loved what victoza did for me but side effects were to severe. One other note I also have IBS with direness which contributed to the severe diarrhea episodes"


"I have been drinking heavily for the last 12 years. It got to a stage that I would have a beer first thing in the morning and keep going for the rest of the day. I was sacked from work as I was caught drinking at work. After 2 rounds of acute pancreatitis, I decided to put an end to this habit as it was ruining my marriage and life. I was put on Campral by my GP and I have not had a drink in 35 days. No cravings. This is a very effective medicine, that is if you really want to quit and is willing to give Campral a go."


"I have found Seroquel to be very helpful in my life. I was on high antidepressant medicines but gave those up. The Seroquel helps me lead a normal life by allowing me to sleep and calm down after long working hours in a high demand job. I take 100mg before dinner which helps my appetite also. I would not take Seroquel during the day as I feel it would inhibit my ability to communicate at work.

From what I've read some interpolate the effects of the medicines in differing ways but I can honestly say it has saved me from a very dark place.

Expensive but worth the cost."


"I started on Xanax after the birth of my second child for post partum anxiety. I used Ativan after my first baby but my new doctor wanted me to try Xanax. I thought it worked great at first. .25 my 4 x a day. Most days I only took 2 or 3. My baby developed colic issues and my husband was working 60 -70 hours a week so I had no help and was going crazy from no sleep and endless hours of non-stop crying so they upped my dose to .5 mg 3 x a day. Things calmed down around 3 months so I tried to cut back down but ended up with severe panic attacks and shaking, etc. Even when I take my regular dose on time I am still struggling with increased heart rate, shakiness, irritability, etc. Hoping to switch meds or something at my next appointment."


"Hey ladies, I told myself I would share my experience if I found out I wasn't pregnant.. So here I am. I had sex during one of my most fertile days (October 6-8). I was not on any birth control (was sick for a while so I went off it). Him and I were in the heat of the moment and ended up not using a condom. Though we used the pull out method I still knew about pre cum and it scared the hell out of me. This happened around midnight and none of the drugstores were open. Right when the store opened (9am) I headed over and swallowed down the plan b. I got every symptom from the pill for a constant dreadful two weeks and could not sleep due to extreme stress. I'll take pain over being pregnant any day, so thank you plan b."


"I have had rheumatoid arthritis for 40 years. I got it at age 4. This medication has now been taken off the market and I am finding my world getting very small. I have taken it for the past 12 years, no heart problems at all. My doctor has given me Vicodin and I'm a mess. Darvocet let me control pain by how much needed on good or bad days without the side effects of these other medicines. I can't believe there is no other medicine on the market that works the way this one does, allowing me to live a more normal life. Why couldn't they have allowed long time users to continue. "


"I'm so grateful I finally found this pill. I feel like I have my life back. It has allowed me, after 3 major surgeries & years of painful hormones, to remember what it feels like to *not* be in pain/discomfort all the time. I use Zenchent continuously in with the arm implant Nexplanon (implant alone wasn't enough). Between the 2 I do not have any bleeding, nor endo symptoms (mostly intestinal & ovarian when they're bad), nor any bad side effects - no tender breasts, decreased sex drive, acne breakouts, crazy mood swings, cramping, bloating, food cravings, weight gain, rage attacks (all of which I've experienced with other hormone regimens). I actually sleep better on this pill. Have hope that you can find the right endo management too!"


"I am off Saxenda after 14 months. I started the drug at 250lb and now at 180lb which is my goal weight. I am 47 years old and finally realizing you don't eat 4 plates of food, you eat one smart plate. Stay away from the junk foods. My wife tells me constantly she notices chicks checking me out where ever we go. If I ever need any kind of motivation to manage my 180 lb. weight, this is it. No one was looking at me when I was 250 because there is nothing nice about being fat. Thank you Saxenda for giving me a life worth living! Now I feel like a have a purpose."


"Confusion, forget, tingling, lights in the corner of eye shining, drops of water dripping on head at times, but the weight loss was good, but its not worth it for me. "


"I take it 3 times a day and it has worked like magic. Almost all my panic attacks have gone away, and just most of my anxiety in general. My only complaint is that i have trouble staying awake in class and at home, but that's probably because I'm also on a couple of other anxiety meds too. Overall, this med has helped me tremendously and I'm really glad i found something that worked"


"I have been taking enbrel for 11 years.  I worked great for me until the last year when it gradually stopped working.  I did the self injection 2X week.  Over the last year the relief subsided 2 days after the shots and then when I took the next 3-4 days from the last it would take 24 hours for the relief to kick in, sometimes no relief. My doctor said he wants me to take Humira but for some reason (irrational or not) I am terrified of changing medicines.  I had no side effects from Enbrel except some minor sinus irritation -not infections.  I am worried I won't be so lucky with another medicine.  "


"I have been using this pill since May of this year. It is also the first pill I've tried. It is a great pill, my monthly cycle is on time and the same week every month only downside its 6-7 days instead of 5-6 like I had before. It has prevented pregnancy for me, I did realize my boobs got a little bigger, my sex drive is the same as it was, no weight gain and there's bad cramping in the beginning of my cycle but then it goes away. Overall it's a great pill and it does do its job. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about starting birth control."


"The side effects for me were horrible. I experenced joint pain that was a 8-10 on the pain scale, cold chills, lost of hair( came  out in hands full & my throid tests were all normal) & it caused me to be fogging in my thoughts & forgetful.  I tried it  for 2 months hoping that he side effects would lessen; but they got worse.  I have been off of it for  1 week & my freinds & husband said  they were  happy ot have me back to my old self. My BP went up because of the pain."


"I have been on Victoza for eight days and my readings are great, yes I do have sore throat and nausea. But I feel awesome and my sugar is I down. I got worried because I thought I had a urinary tract infection but not. I Think it's the medicine. I started this 1.2 a day ago. Nothing bad yet."


"The insertion did not hurt that bad and I did not have problems with my arm aching.  It did bruise pretty badly but went away after a couple of weeks.  The first 4 months I experienced extreme drowsiness and occasional headaches.  Eventually, it went away.  I have not had any significant problems with weight gain.  The hardest side effect to deal with has been the bleeding.  I got the implant inserted mid August.  I started bleeding about a week after that and did not stop until the beginning of December.  Since January, I get maybe 1 good week of no bleeding and then 3 weeks of heavy bleeding and spotting. Unfortunately, it is to only birth control option for me, but the bleeding is miserable."


"I was prescribed this based on my symptoms and prior to the lab results coming back. My first dose was at 7 pm and the second at 7 am. By lunch the blood in my urine was gone and the pains were subsiding.  I took as scheduled with no side effects and when my cultures came back it was confirmed a bladder infection. This medicine is fantastic."


"This medication worked wonders for my 17 year old. Caught it within 24 hours. She has PTSD, and is on other medication as well. Never seen aggressive behavior out of her at all. Every medication works differently on people. I paid 60.00 with insurance, but in my opinion it's better than thousands on an ER Bill, OR hospital stay. My daughter felt better after the 2nd dose. She's 5'6, and 104 pounds."


"I have been taking Xanax 0.25 for less than four years to control anxiety mainly before sleep. It works really well until it does exactly opposite for its purpose, causing more anxiety and distress. I have been taking Xanax randomly only to relax me before sleep, say 3 times a month, 10 times a month and most of the time half of the 0.25. I noticed that overtime especially in the months I took it more often, the anxiety, the fast heart beats and confusion and strange muscle weakness were getting beyond tolerable. In few words, I would tell anyone there that NO ONE should even begin taking this very addictive Xanax. Better suffer through your difficulties than using Xanax to ease your anxiety and panic. The drug will take you to abyss."


Hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate

"I was prescribed Urelle for my interstitial cystitis flares, which definitely helped, but my co-pay after insurance was still $200 a month. A new urologist prescribed generic hyophen (which contains the main ingredient in Urelle) and now I only pay $4. It works very well for the pain and urgency of IC. It doesn't take it all away, but nothing does. This makes the difference between being curled up on the floor with a heating pad crying and begging my doctor for narcotics, or being able to go about my daily life at least. It definitely works better than pyridium, and while it does turn your urine bright blue, it doesn't stain your skin and clohing like pyridium. It can take a few hours and several doses before really gets the pain under control for me though."


"Three days after starting the 7.5/46mg dose I experienced severe tackycardia and respiratory distress. I ended up in the hospital for 5 days on telemetry and oxygen."


"I've been on Tri-Lo-Sprintec for about 6 months now. This method was recommended by my gyno for normal contraception but also for my cystic acne that was out of control. I would constantly have 4-5 painful bumps on my face and they would take weeks to go away.When I first started this pill I immediately noticed extreme mood swings. So extreme that I could acknowledge when I was going to blow up because my face would get really warm and I would just flip out on my boyfriend. On top of my mood swings, I cramped a lot and my sex drive was non-existent. I'm still on this method and still have bad mood swings - I think I've gotten used to just being grumpy.

On a good note, my cystic acne is gone it took 3-4 months."


"This pill works! Don't read these reviews 24 hrs a day like I did. I was so scared and worried myself sick but it works. I was on birth control but didn't take it at the same times. (wasn't using as contraception, more to regulate periods). Period ended June 22nd. Incident on night June 24th, took pill June 25th, 5 hrs after incident. Withdrawal bleeding July 1-8. Regular period was supposed to come July 13, I got it one day early on the 12th. So basically two weeks of bleeding in a month. Even after that, it was heavy but I was worried about implantation and all that. But I got my next period August 8th and it is two days early according to my birth control packet, but right on time if I counted 28 day cycle! THIS WORKS. TRUST IT!"


"I've been taking Yaz for almost a year.  I had constant acne breakouts and very bad mood swings before taking Yaz.  Since then, my acne has cleared up and my moods are more balanced.  My periods are lighter and my breasts are fuller for a couple weeks during the month.  It took about 3 to 6 months for my acne to get better.  I am very happy with the product.  I have not noticed any side effects."


"After suffering with cold sores from my teens I took a three bottle course of one tablet a day, and I never got cold sores again until the last six months. I am now in my seventies and have had a couple mainly in my nostril,I put it down to stress now but will try another course."


"I only take this medication when I feel an outbreak coming. It's a burning sensation in my Vagina. I take two 500mg daily for about a week and a half. I wind down to 1 pill by day 5. I'm in the clear by day 8. The outbreak never comes to blisters. Its like a home run. I only catch an outbreaks once or twice a year. I actually forget I have it until I get the sad reminder. It is usually stimulated by my stress. Hope this was helpful."


"This was the first pill that I've been on, within the first month I experienced terrible mood swings, and gained 10 pounds within the first three months. I had to get off the pill. Now I've switched to the brand name Loestrin. "


"Having a positive feeling for the fentanyl transdermal system I would recommend it to anybody, but after using the 100mcg/hour ones for 5 years I have noticed that the patches don't last for 72 hours. I believe that I am one of those people who require change every 48 hours which will be conveyed to my Doctor in a few days."


"Emsam is by far the best antidepressant I have come across in over 20 years of treatment in which I have been given everything under the sun. Welbutrin was ok but was weak, edgy and stops working after about 6 months. I have been on Emsam twice now for stints of about a year each. Unlike other antidepressants it doesn't have that plastic, fake agitaged feeling to it. Feels like natural emotions. It cuts my depression roughly in half. Still suicidal often, but not every moment of every day. I have a severe skin reaction to the adhessive that looks horrific but its worth it. Other than that and worsening insomnia it really doesn't have side effects. Well worth the rash. I have to stay at 6mg because the higher doses produce psychosis in me."


"I remember reading all these reviews before I took it because I was so scared of the side effects that I might get so I thought I would review it. I know everyone reacts differently but so far this medication has been great. It has slowed down those over thinking anxious feeling's a lot! The side effects were minor. Mild digestive problems, occasional yawning episodes (a bit annoying). The one that is probably the biggest issue is the complete loss of appetite, I just feel like drinking a lot of water. I don't feel hungry and have lost 2kg in the 3 weeks I have been on it.   I am hoping in time these side effects will eventually go away. They are pretty mild and something I can put up with since it is helping me with my anxiety."


"I've been on a short term detox from painkillers using Suboxone. It truly is a miracle drug, if used correctly. I think long-term use is starting to look like a nightmare scenario for some. Be careful, use for less than 2 weeks and you'll be good. Less is more."


"Lamictal combined with Seroquel XR has changed the quality of my life. My obsessive compulsive disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder were masked for many years by the severe depression.  Eventually a different doctor realized it was not enough. The Lamictal was added and helped to calm my OCD but when the Seroquel was added it was awesome; I felt normal. If the Lamictal is helping but you still don't feel right, your doctor may increase the dose. Talk to him/her often and don't minimize a symptom because you think it is too small to mention. Some symptoms overlap and may be masking an untreated problem. Summary: Lamictal works. No side effects. I'm grateful for it every day."


"It has been a godsend anxiety treatment for me, relieving me of what was once crippling anxiety."


"Has made dealing with opiate dependency more manageable."


"I have sleep apnea, and somewhere in the last 7 months developed narcolepsy. I almost lost my job, and spent 4.5 months on disability because I couldn't stay awake at my desk. I was falling asleep in my car, as a passenger and a driver, falling asleep at diner, on the phone, everywhere. So when I went back to work, I thought I was better, I had been treating my bi-polar with a lot of good medications, so I really felt ready to go back to work. Well about 2 days back to work I was falling asleep again. It was miserable. My sleep Dr wanted me to take a stimulant, and my Psychiatrist prescribed Vyvanse. The first 60 mg pill did nothing. I was falling asleep again. So my doctor advised me to take another 60 mg pill. It worked! I'm doing much better."


"3rd day into my nexplenon birth control method and have severe migraines since the day it was inserted I have taken all kinds of pills and won't budge I'm a migraine sufferer so I pretty much know what to do to keep controlled severe eye pain feels like my head is heavy and pounding throbbing pain I can't get out of bed I will take it out ASAP I've tried depo and pills and never had side effects this severe."


"I have been taking this birth control for about 9 months. In the spring I started back on this birth control after taking a break for awhile. In May, I started having migraines. Previously, I had random headaches but they were nothing excedrin couldn't handle. After getting back on this bc, I had migraines the week of my cycle. I had extreme migraines to the point where I had to go to the doctor and get a shot. I was given a prescription (pills and shots I could give myself).

My prescription ran out and I waited a couple of months  until I could return to my permanent home and go to the gyno. while I was off this medicine- no migraines. Just started back a few days ago and I'm nauseous, experiencing headaches, and emotional again"


"Prescribed this after impacted wisdom teeth extractions. Eased pain a little, but the headache, sleeplessness, constipation, jitters and persistent nausea isn't worth it. Ibuprofen works much better without any side effects."


"I was suffering from the common cold and had symptoms of dry cough, congested sinus, large headache, slight ear pain, sore throat, and muscle pain in my knees and gleutus maximus. I couldn't eat anything either and at times felt like vomiting. Also, I would wake up in the middle of sleeping, mumbling from my symptoms and pain. And, I would sleep long hours, and no sleep is enough for me. Taking naproxen 220 mg and sleeping that night, I felt 10 times better. The headache was gone, and so was the muscle pain. I slept good that night. I feel like I could do the usual tasks (including eating) now."


"I am taking 225 mg of Lamictal for depression. The Dr. wanted me to try this along with the Lamictal.

I took it once, at bedtime and woke up with the worst headache I've had in my entire life, and it lasted all day. Also had very loud ringing in my ears which lasted all day. Not good. Needless to say, I did not take it again, so I cannot comment on its effectiveness."


"I am neither drugs nor suboxone user. However, VERY unfortunately my husband is. It's been 6 years he has been using this stuff that calls Suboxone. He is like a serious drug person, like those who use heroine and so on. He cannot live without it. Even he no longer uses opioid, he is still an addicted and sick person. Once, he tried to stop it, after minimizing his dose till minimum.But you cannot imagine what I saw that time.He was not himself, he got such terrible withdrawals. It was terrible. So he failed. And started to use it again. He was suffering for 9 days and couldn't stand it anymore. The Drs they just make money, but not thinking about other people's life who has to deal with it"


"I have taken 4 of these pills. The first one gave me no pain relief. I took a second 3 hours later. I got pain relief, also dizziness, exhaustion, inability to sleep, crying spells. I tried two pills at bedtime hoping to get good pain relief and be able to sleep. Was up all night, restless, tossing and turning. Woke up this morning and now 10 hours after taking the medicines am still nauseated and dizzy. "


"A very mild sleep aid. This does not knock you out like Ambien will, but once asleep you stay asleep. I prefer this to Ambien CR, less side affects and less addictive. I did switch though because Lunesta just costs too much."


"I've only been taking Trinessa for a month, but so far I love it. I was getting very self conscious with my acne and I was originally going to take Ortho Tri Cyclen, but my doctor recommended Trinessa. I was VERY worried after reading some of these comments but I'm so glad I gave it a try! Sure, my skin is not perfect (it's not a magic pill), but its CONSIDERABLY clearer, and I have not had any nausea, headaches, or dizziness. My breasts have gotten a little sore (a couple of times) but its a small price to pay for clear skin. Try Trinessa."


"My boyfriend of 6 years began taking Cymbalta 2 years, ago to deal with a bout of depression. He has completely lost all libido and he went through a terrible period of sweating - he dripped like a faucet from his armpits at times.  He has lost his joy of eating, and has no appetite.  He has lost 40 lbs and really did not need to. His initial "feel good" period in this time has worn off and he is like a robot. His doctor GP, wants to up the dosage. I want him off and I want my boyfriend back. He is like a completely different person."


"Took this drug a few years ago and it worked great. I had fungus in 3 of my toenails initially (and had it for a few years before trying this). They all cleared up after use of lamisil for 12 weeks. I had no side effects. But, within about a year, fungus developed again on my big toe (unless it never cured?). I'm taking lamisil again but I'm only 4 weeks in and I've gotten terrible headaches and pretty bad itching. I'm not sure if I will be able to go through a second round of the stuff at my 6 week checkin. I still think I'd recommend it because it did get rid of fungus on two toe nails but I'm not sure if the side effects would be too off putting for some."


"I am from the province of Quebec in Canada. In Canada we call the medication Champix but it is exactly the same. I am on the end of my third week and I am non smoker for 6 days now. It is a real miracle for me. I was a very heavy smoker for 45 years. I try everything but I never succeed, but now I believe that Champix will save my life. I have almost no side effects except for weird dreams. If I stop smoking believe me anyone can. Just give it a try it will save your life."


"This medication did nothing for my delusions and caused me to eat non-stop."


"I've lost over 25 lbs! I started out at 197.6 today I'm at 172.0. I'm using the scale down program at the same time and it really helps me correlate my choices with what I see on the scale the next morning. What Contrave has done for me is taken the high away from eating. I don't crave that feeling of being stuffed, and I also don't think about food 24/7 any more. When I eat, I eat for fuel not for pleasure, it's just a different mind set. It is really like a weight that has been on my shoulders for almost all my life has been lifted. I also have found it much easier to stick to an exercise routine. Only downside I've noticed is constipation."


"The ring doesn't look huge but once in you takes up a lot of space and is very close to the vaginal opening.. I imagined in my head it being smaller, tucked further in and snugger fitting around the cervix. A few hours after insertion my ovaries began to have a slight dull ache. I thought my lower pelvic region is just adjusting to a foreign object. I woke up the next day and it was a worse ache and my lower abdomen was sore, vaginal cannel was painfully sensitive and my stomach had a empty sick feeling even when eating. Day 3 I had to remove it! I was so bloated, with severe stabbing gastrointestinal pains so bad I couldn't move! I tried to wait a few hours and let my body calm down but upon reinsertion it reoccurred. Horrible!!"


"I have fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, have had a hip replacement and extensive back surgery for spinal stenosis.  I had pain constantly at times almost to the point I could hardly walk.  After beginning Cymbalta the pain left.  I feel like I did 25 or 30 years ago.  I have had no negative side effects except an occasional mild headache and night sweats some nights.  This medication has been a life-saver, even stopping the nerve pains shooting down my legs.  It's worth trying it!"


"so far in 1st 6 weeks has lowered my eye pressure from 23  in both eyes to 14 in both eyes. It is a beta blocker so also can lower your blood pressure.  I've reduced that effect by putting pressure at side of nose-corner of eyes with my fingers, where  medicine can enter the blood stream. I recommend those that don't do this technique, see how to do it correctly on some instructional you tube videos."


"I have had Trigeminal Neuralgia for 20 yrs. There has been only one Dr. that hit it on the nose. Trileptal great medicine."


"Use BUPRENORPHINE for atypical trigeminal neuralgia and the usual anticonvulsants regime (Trileptal, gabapentin, etc.) and pain is 1-2. For six years and four surgeries and an average pain of 7-8, BUPRENORPHINE is a miracle."


"I first took Zoloft (50mg/daily) after my Mother died in 1995. I was on an emotional roller coaster worse than anything I'd ever experienced.  I was devastated, deeply depressed, angry, irritable, suicidal, (all of which run in my family) and didn't care about my usual interests, hobbies, or job anymore.  In combination with 6 months of weekly cognitive therapy, Zoloft quite literally saved my life.  I stayed on it for about 8 years with good results.

Fast forward to 2010: I was diagnosed with Stage 3 lymph node positive colon cancer, and in the last 18 months I've been through 2 surgeries, 6 months of chemo, and all the usual horrible side effects. Another emotional roller coaster.  My friend, Zoloft, came to the rescue again. "


"When taking orsythia, I got yeast infection every three months , does anyone have a same problem as me?"


"It has improved my sex life and also eliminated UTI. I use once or twice a week.  I also use vaseline daily after each shower."


"I have had osteoarthritis in both knees since 1997.  I had to have arthroscopy on the right knee in 1997.  The pain over the years have been horrible.  Last year a new ortho dr asked me to try euflexxa and I said I would try anything at this point.  I was in so much pain when I went in for my first round of shots, the shots hurt so bad but my dr said....just give it time.  The second shot hurt less and I could tell the shots were starting to work.  The third shot still hurt and my dr kept saying trust me.  2 weeks after all 3 shots...the pain had subsided so much that I only had to take my pain meds when I went to bed.  I am currently on my 3rd set of the shots and I will not go past my 6 months.  This is a God send!"


"I stopped taking Gianvi two months ago and wow was that a mistake. The first period I had was absolutely horrible. It was super heavy, lasted a long time, and my cramps were really bad. It has really messed up my hormones as well. I get so mad very easily and I feel like a crazy person with emotions that I'm feeling that I never felt before. My breasts shrank a lot and my acne has come back. SO I started taking Gianvi again a few days ago so I can get back on track to normalness! I don't want to wait for my body to adjust without it. "


"I need help, I have taken Belviq for 2 weeks now and NO weight loss, not an ounce and possible gained a pound, Any one else experience this, I realize I am inpatient but was looking forward to quicker results.
          Thank you"


"My experience is different from many of the people posting here. I've never been that good about tracking when I'm fertile, but I do have very regular periods. Several months ago, I had unprotected sex a few days after my period ended and took Plan B within 72 hours. About a week before my expected period, I had very light spotting for maybe an hour. Then it stopped. Two weeks later, I still had not gotten my period, so I took a test, and it was positive. Please realize that while Plan B is highly effective (I'd used it with success before and am wholeheartedly in favor of it being available to everyone on demand), it's not foolproof and shouldn't replace contraception."


"I got Nexplanon inserted 5 months now and the first 3 months I was spotting non-stop and after that I would lightly spot once a month for 2 days which I assume is probably my period. In the beginning, I had a horrible time with the nonstop bleeding and the crazy mood swings but stuck through it and now everything is clear blue skies! Definitely a great option to consider if you're forgetful and can't remember to take a pill everyday."


"I honestly love my nexplanon. I had been on depo provera for 3 years before getting nexplanon. Nexplanon makes me feel normal. I get light spotting for 3-4 days each month. Recently I finally had a bad side effect of a period, or breakthrough bleeding for 3 weeks, but it has been cleared up by taking birth control pills to help regulate my menstrstion cycle. Other than that I don't have weight gain, no mood swings or acne changes, and I'm less moody with nexplanon than any other birth control I've tried. I love it."

"This medication has been a God send for me. Nothing else has worked this season. My doctor provided me with a sample in the office and I have been able to BREATH since."


"Hello! I have not been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but I am 18 and have felt overly sensitive and quick to extreme emotions all my life. I have a trauma history, and have been prescribed Zoloft, Prozac, and Trazadone to cope with my rape trauma, ptsd, etc.. While these meds have helped a bit, My mood swings and my emotional scale still really effects my relationships and lifestyle. I've been feeling really hopeless and self hating lately because of the way I am and have always been. I am being prescribed Lamotrigine by my Psychiatrist and Doctor. I am a little scared at how it will effect me. I hate feeling numb and non-present. I want emotions I just want to control them and not for them to control me. I want to feel whole someday."


"I got Skyla inserted when I was twenty years old. I had a very irregular period, and was told that Skyla would help regulate it. I got the IUD inserted 6 May 2015, and now 4 December 2015, I'm still bleeding.  I have days where the bleeding is very light, and I have days where the bleeding is heavy. I have terrible cramping, I even stayed home from class sometimes because of the pain. I'm seriously considering getting the IUD removed. I have to buy two boxes of pads (28 count) every month. I definitely do not believe this birth control is worth it."


"I have been taking YAZ for 8 months now and am very pleased with the results.  I have not gained any weight, my acne cleared up completely, and my periods are shorter and lighter.  The first three months I did experience side effects; migranes, tiredness, breakthrough bleeding just the first month; but other than that, it was fine.  I attribute those first three months to my body getting used to the hormones.  At first I was hesistant to try this birth control because of the horror stories I have read online, but I decided to try it anyway, and I am so happy that I did, because it has been wonderful for me.  I suggest anyone debating on trying it out, to not be discouraged by the reviews, because everybodys body is different."


"Weight loss journey with Contrave has been very successful for me!

Duration: April 14 to current

Previous weight: 150lb

Current weight: 127lb

Height: 5'6”

Gender: Female

Race: Asian

Price: $299/120 tablets (self medication)

In my first week, I took 1 tablet in the morning and afternoon as instruction says. Absolutely no effect! In my second week, the effect kicked in fully. By eating smaller portion and running 10km (6.2 miles) 3 nights a week, I've been losing 2.2lbs per week on average. This is my 3rd month and I still take the same dosage instead of 2 tablets in the morning and afternoon suggested in the instruction. My appetite is still under control, I don't need stronger dosage. Absolutely no side effect too."


"Did not work! Used the 12 week treatment. Saw an improvement and after cutting off the whole nail it looked like it was growing back healthy. Fast forward to now and the other nail is doing the same thing the first one did. Not only that but the first nail is still not growing back properly and is starting to turn yellow...again! It's like the medicine didn't even kill all of it. Now I have to figure out something else as the second stupid nail is turning yellow and starting to have the same issues as the first."


"My son is 11 years old. He has had urinary incontinence all his life and a doctor at children's hospital in Cincinnati Ohio found this problem. He is having him try oxybutynin cl ER 5 mg and there is no more running and not making it. He has had  a little dry mouth but not complaining. Thank you for this new medicine."


"The very first day I took otezla it felt like I was going to vomit but I didn't so I continued taking it. Then after taking the second and third ones for the evening I started having pains on my right shoulder. I thought I slept funny.  But the pain was still bearable and I thought it will go away so I continued taking it although I began having a hard time sleeping. The seventh day/evening it got worst. Right after I took the evening pill the pain on my right shoulder went all the way to my arms and my right fingers. I was up until 3 in the morning I couldn't sleep and thought of going to the urgent care. The next morning,  both of my arms are in pain, I decided to stopped taking Otezla. I should have not taken it in the beginning."


"Medicare does not cover this product so I had to pay $130.00 at the pharmacy  for 2 paks of laxative powder.  Very over priced."


"Don't take this.  Dont even think about it.
Play around with tylenol and advil.  This medicine's side effects to me: shortness of breath, fatigue stomach pains-sharp pains, unable to sleep.  I am drinking as much water as I can to take it out my system but on the verge of an Emergency room visit. Have in mind this is my fist time.  Sunday evening. 1 10 mg pill.  That was all it took.  Be careful.  Extremely careful"


"I was on accutane for almost 2 months.  About a month and a half in, my eyes started to bother me. They were incredibly dry and it constantly felt like I had an eyelash in them. They were burning like crazy and hurt to move. I was worried I had an infection, so I went to my eye doctor. They told me both of my optic nerves were swollen and referred me to a neuro opthamologist. I was immediately taken off accutane. It has been a couple weeks since I stopped the medication and my eyes have finally stopped bothering me. If I had continued the medication, I could've had permanent eye damage. The scariest side effects may be rare, and this drug may be a "holy grail" for stubborn acne, but is clear skin really worth going blind, etc?"


"My doctor prescribed Klonopin for anxiety and it has worked...like a warm comforting blanket wrapping around you. This is only my second day on the this new medicine but it has lessened my desire for the opiates I was on, or at least made it a lot more comfortable and I can function without feeling so many of the discomforts of withdrawal coming off Vicodin. My doctor prescribed 1mg 3 X a day. I'm taking as directed and with prayer and faith, I'll not only get through this but the more important issue is going to Duke University Medical Center because my husband is at risk for a massive stroke unless they perform a surgical procedure that only a few doctors in the world can perform..two are at Duke. "


"I have peripheral neuropathy and very bad pain in my back.  Cymbalta made a huge improvement in my pain level.  The doctor started me gradually to lessen the nausea.  I have worked up to 30 mg. twice a day for a total of 60 mg.  I have been taking it for 3 months and still find the pain level, and my frame of mind, much improved.  I do have slight nausea occasionally, and dry mouth.  The excessive sweating has gone away."


"Too many serious side effects. If you're on this medicine and you are experiencing unusual effects, and suspect this medicine then tell your Dr immediately."


"This seems to work pretty well, but is so hard to use I am looking for an alternative. The plastic backing usually comes off 1/2 of the patch fairly well, and the rest is a struggle. I end up with a stretched and creased patch which irritates the skin unnecessarily. Why can't they fix this? Complained about it years ago - as ha withers - but no improvement."


"I couldn't stay a couple of hours without smoking. This medicine made me hate cigarettes. They started tasting smoking a piece of garbage. All the psychological reasons that kept me smoking for years vanished one after one. I don't feel like i need to replace a cigarette with anything, I don't feel empty or depressed at all (even though i am a person who's more prone to depression genetically speaking).

I quit on day 12, and by day 14 i experienced some nicotine withdrawal symptoms but NO CRAVINGS (you can look them up on WebMD) Naturally this happen since our bodies are detoxing from a drug. But they were temporarily and now i never want to smoke again."


"I am a 33year old who has experienced high blood pressure ever since starting work after graduating from University. I also have a Thyroid condition and always just assumed this was the entire cause of my tingling in the hands & feet and constant issues with tiredness. The tingling sensation predates the Avapro, but the ongoing issue with tiredness could also be attributed to the Avapro. I have been on Avapro for the last ten years. I am off of Avapro now as my blood pressure is now normal."


"I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, as well as a high level of Anxiety coupled with Sleep Apnea and severe snoring if I did fall asleep. Finally, a daily dosage of Xanax ER in the morning, 30mg of Temazepam at night with 20mg of Diazepam and the option of up to 4mg of Lunesta has kept me asleep. Crazy Dreams when I remember them, I talk a lot while asleep, but wake up feeling like at least I had slept. I do wonder though what all this is doing to me physically, and how long it will last."


"I've been on Xenical/Orlistat for 5 days and have lost 3.1kg (about 6lb)! I'm really, really happy with the results. I've had a gastric band 2 and half years but then gained all the weight (20kg) back when I went on antidepressants (Citalopram), which then made me feel more depressed as no matter what I did the weight just wouldn't budge - which is very common with anti-depressants.
I finally quit the meds and noticed I was gaining more weight after. Let's note I did not eat more than a 'fist' portion, as my stomach just cannot physically take it, so it wasn't the food,  just my metabolism that basically went on a full year strike.
Anyway, I had to turn to Orlistat as a last resort but I am loving it! Finally something's working!!"


"I took Celexa (citalopram) for about 8yrs. I started at 20mg dose and worked up to 40mg over the yrs. I found I was happier in the summer, and with my doctor's help would decrease my dose for a bit, but in winter I'd bump it back up again. Mood wise, Celexa did wonders for me. I was able to live happily for yrs. Missing a day or two was hell, between the brain zaps and bouts of crying I was a mess. The downsides: my libido disappeared. COMPLETELY. Gone. I used to have a very healthy sexual appetite. I also gained about 60lbs while taking this pill. I can't blame it all on the pill, but it didn't help. Overall it was a great mood enhancer, but take it with warning."


"I have been taking 30 mg of Paxil daily for about 4 years. It truly changed my life. I have had more issues with anxiety than depression, I couldn't sleep, I was angry all the time for no reason, I had constant pressure on my chest- Paxil put an end to the sleepless nights, nipped the depression in the bud and took my anxiety level down by about 90%. The only problems are if I miss a pill I get those nasty electric shock feelings, I feel like my emotions are almost a bit too subdued (can't cry, sometimes you got to pet or out) and lastly I have NO sex drive. For this reason I'm in the process of tapering off and my doctor is putting me on Viibryd. But if that doesn't work as well as Paxil I'll definitely switch back!"


"This has worked wonders for me. Brought my A1C down to 5.4 in no time. Love it. No side effects. Easy to use and simple once a week."


"I got my Skyla put in May 2013.  I was the first person my Doc put one in.  My period was kind of unpredictable for a few months, which was expected.  I started Boot Camp 4 mo later, which makes everyone's cycle crazy, synching with 60 girls.  I had my period for a month, then didn't have anything but occasional spotting for a year. Maybe 3 days of spotting every three or four months.  It was AWESOME.  And no pregnancies in the months leading up to leaving, despite unprotected sex with my fiance.  Then, a year after my period stopped, it started again.  Now, after 2 years, I spend 2.5 weeks on my period and 2.5 weeks off.  Talking to doc soon because this is so frustrating."


"I've been on this birth control for about a year now. I have had no negative side effects and I'm really glad my doctor recommended it. It even has helped clear up my skin."


"This medicine upset the last two months of my life. I kept telling my doctor is was not working, He told me to keep trying it. I continuously had diarrhea for two months sometimes having accidents. Sometimes my stools were bloody in nature and I went to see my regular doctor to see if something else was wrong with me and found out it was a side effect of Viibryd. I was extremely irritated at the time of day I would take my dose and a side effect is anger, I lost great friendship with family and friends because I became angry. I am depressed and usually very mellow. For the first time in my life, I was suicidal while on this medicine. Going off the medicine, the withdrawals led to an itchiness of my skin of my entire body. No more Viibryd!"


"On 03/01/2015 I weighed 162 (female 5'4"). I took phentermine along with biking a lot for a bit. I lost my log sheet for 2015 but I was 146 on 12/25/2015. I recall in the first 2 months I had lost 12lbs and I had stopped taking it.

Today is 11/22/2016 and I am 138lb. So in a year and eight months I have lost twenty four pounds. I have kept the phentermine weight off for over a year and now losing weight naturally. I only needed the boost. Today I got a months supply and will update my results. I recommend taking advantage of heightened energy and going out to exercise, not eating much, rather eating healthy. This is powerful prescription drug and I highly recommend it!"


"Seroquel gets rid of 95% of my anxiety and severe insomnia. I've tried everything else. I don't feel drugged. I just feel something like a normal person. Its amazing. It only got rid of about 30% of my depression, but together with with Lamictal they cover 80% of my depression as long as I make sure to stay social. I take 350 mg about 2 hours before bed. It was EXTREMELY sedating at first, but within a month (maybe 2 weeks), I adapted to each new dose increase. I do have to make sure to get 8-10 hours of sleep every night, but a big part of that is my CFS and sleep apnea. We slowly went up over the course of 3 months to get to 300 mg. And after being on it about 2 years, I had to raise it to 350 mg because it wasn't working as well."


"I've been on the pill for 4 months I was on the pill but was taken off because I suffer severe migraines and have family history of blood clots, I also have POCOS and my doctor said this is better for me. The first shot I got I bled severely 2 days after and was in so much pain and got hormone therapy and that helped and than got spotting few weeks later and that lasted on and off got my second shot just over a month ago no bleeding for 3 1/2 weeks and now I've been bleeding lightly on and off the last 2 weeks only old blood but hopefully this will stop soon apart from that no side effects other than some pimples. Hopefully my body gets use to it by 3-4th shot and the bleeding stops for good."


"I have Degenerative disc disease and 4 herniated disks.  I have been down the road of dependence on Oxycontin and Duragesic. Those medicines worked great, however, they do not hold up as they claim.  My doctor put me on Lyrica at 300mg a day and what a difference it has made!  My mobility is much better as well as my mental outlook on life.  This medicine seems to do the job.  I like it and recommend it."


"WHERE'S THE LAWYERS?! Over the years I've had YI, and have used Monistat each time (or a generic of it) without issue. This time was unbelievably awful. After inserting the ovule, two hours later I woke up to unholy itching, much much worse than the YI! The burning wasn't quite as extreme as some of the other users, but it did burn! There was no sleep to be had, so I took two Benadryl in hopes it would work...and it did thank God! After an hour I was finally able to return to bed and fall asleep. Throughout the next day I have had some swelling, but the pain and itch are nearly gone."


"I was put on Intuniv because I have schizophrenia and ADHD as I can't take the stimulant type medications.  I used the starter kit and did not notice any improvement in my focus or attention.  I was so tired I was falling asleep at 7-9pm at night and waking up at 6-7 in the morning.  I went to table tennis and was just a zombie.  I was asleep on my feet and couldn't wait for class to end instead of being my normal happy active self during class. I stopped taking this medicine ...even if it had helped with my ADHD it would probably have not been worth the side effects."


"Tuesday 2am chills, sweats, fever, horrible bodyaches, headache. Got in to see Dr on Wednesday 10am and tested positively for influenza. Took first dose of Tamiflu right after Dr's appointment and its now Friday 11am and I'm feeling different. I can actually get around the house no fever, sweats, chills, headache, etc. just still draggy and tired but still 2 days of medicine left. I will say definitely works!"


"I picked this drug up from a pharmacy in Europe and LOVED IT !

Of course here (in the USA) U need a Rx but, its well worth it! Love it! Better than Allegra, Claritin or anything else I've tried so far! And my allergies on a scale of 1 -10 are a 12~"


"If you are worried this pill doesn't work, don't be! Condom broke accidentally 2 days before I was supposed to ovulate. My man drove me to store and took the pill 10 hrs after incident. I was worried my weight would have an effect on the effectiveness of the pill, but no worries. We pulled through. Had minimal side effects. It just made me feel sleepy for about 1 week."


"I unfortunately have had to stop taking Champix on day 26. The reason for this is the severe low feelings I experienced over the past 2 days. Prior to this I did quit on day 8, I experienced bloating, excessive wind (both ends), nausea,waking every 3 hours this was from day 2 onwards. The pharmacist suggested at my 2 week check in to keep going through the physical discomforts which I was ok with, but as my mood became depressed and I felt quite antsy about everything for no apparent reason I decided for me it's time to stop this drug.

Good luck to everyone who is on it. It is certainly worth a try but be careful."


"Butrans works. I have a hard time finding medicines that work, but plainly put this works. It does come with a price however, the patches are sometimes hard to keep on, showering becomes a true chore, the NextCare patches (to cover and waterproof the Butrans patch) are expensive and only last a few days. I wore Butrans for almost a year and in some places it has scarred me -leaving an outline of the patch on my skin. Also, the patch can itch MADLY in some places. Finally you must choose your location **PERFECTLY** or the patch will 'bubble' up or develop waves where the medicine is not making contact with your skin. Again, this patch works."


"My son (7 years old now) was diagnosed with ADHD last year and was started on 10mg of Metadate. We've slowly progressed to 60mg now which I was told is the maximum dosage available for this medication.  It seems to work fine on a new dosage for about a month and then nothing.  Our doctor is now talking about putting him on Adderall which makes me a little nervous since he is already underweight (been reading all the side effects).  He is only 49lbs and 49inches.  We're feeding him Pedisures daily to help boost the weight but still to no avail. Just want my son to be able to focus in school!"


"Was prescribed oxi due to back pain. Never took meds in the last 30 yrs of my life. I took only one of these and I'm laying on a gurney right now. Suffered a minor stroke. If it wasn't for my wife and her dillegence to call 911 id be dead right now. Watch the documary on Oxi then decide whether this drug is safe. The list of side affects is longer than my arm. Be wise and prudent before you decide to swallow any meds. Be safe"


"I was in clinical trial and continued on Gilenya for 5 years after. Overall awesome medicine regarding management of my multiple sclerosis progression based on MRI of brain. Symptoms did worsen over time as it is not a cure and well progression happens. Made decision with Neuro to switch to another treatment (Aubagio) due to lesions showing on spine and a black hole showing on brain MRI - never had side effects to mention except maybe additional tiredness after dosing, switched to nights for 3 months but then went back to mornings. Blood pressure ran low from an hour till about 3 hours following dosage but never to a point of dizzy or passing out. Was usually 50/70 to 60/80 which freaked out nurses but my BP was always around 80-82. I recommend it!"


"This Rx works wonderfully. I love that it doesn't make me jittery or nauseous. It works 98% of the time for me. Luckily, I was able to have my tablets coated, having a migraine and the bitter taste of the pill wasn't a very good mix. There are times when I have a migraine that comes in too strong and too fast and this tablet doesn't work.That's when I take my Maxalt. Although, I hate the after affects of Maxalt."


"This is my 3rd device & I have had the mirena for over 13years. On my 3rd insert my gynaecologist asked if I have been depressed and I said yes thinking it was because I was working full time single mum and was tired. I finally had counselling and felt good again but after a few weeks I was drained.

However during these years, I was deeply depressed and severe anxiety issues, on medication and after speaking to my female doctor we worked out it was the bloody MIRENA, all those years of feeling awful. Use Condoms instead, trust me it's not worth it. I am 41 & love being myself again."


"Started it at 31, all the extra stuff that comes with the medication are SO worth it. Yeah you feel achy and have dry skin but it literally gets rid of everything. I had mild but very persistent acne since my early teens....this included body acne. I tried it all, detergents, shampoos, fash washes...nothing worked. I had very oily skin. I was free of acne after about 3 weeks of taking it. I've had maybe 10 tiny zits since then and I am in month 4 of 6."


"I have been taking bystolic 5mg for 2 years. I originally started on metoprolol 100mg.. I had tons of problems and side effects. My doctor switched me to bystolic, and irate best thing that ever happened to me I researched it and found nothing but bad reviews online,I was worried. But after 2 years.. I'm still happy,normal pressure,never any side effects or symptoms. Systolic is a little more pricey... But I can live my life,and not be worried about symptom triggers or drowsiness..Bystolic is my wonder drug!"


"The first time I was on this (before baby #2) it was effective for almost a year then decided to stop taking it after experiencing anxiety, chest pain, acne and I swear it made my BP go up. The symptoms disappeared within a few days. Fast forward to now I have been put back on this pill and after 2 months I am stopping it again for same previous symptoms. This pill is the worst. I would not recommend."


"I took this med about 8 years ago. Don't really remember how I felt taking it but after 2 mths and not losing any weight to warrant the purchase price of $30/mth, I stopped. I am giving it a new try. I haven't noticed any bad side effects that stand out or bother me. I believe the med curbs cravings and I usually don't feel like even eating dinner after work. But, that being said I haven't lost any weight yet. I need to get my daily meals back on track and continue the med and then I will update again in 1 week."


"Misdiagnosed as bipolar when it was GAD. Weaned myself off after severe blood pressure and white blood cell drops.  Dr. refused to help me stop this drug and refused to change diagnosis. I weaned myself off - it took almost 3 mos. it's been over a year and my sleep pattern has been destroyed. New doctor has me on Trazadone - 250mg, which I took in the past. Now the Trazadone only keeps me asleep 3-4 hours. White blood cell count and blood pressure have normalized.  "


"I am 32 I've tried abreva orajel one dose lysine camphor and I would still suffer from horrible cold sores. These sore would swell the right half of my upper lip. I felt like TwoFace. Sometimes I would get one and as soon as it healed another would pop up. I would get very depressed. Last month I got a cold sore I stayed home from work and needed a note to return during this visit she gave me a prescription for valtrex. I filled it even though my cold sore was healing. That day Another one was about to form. I felt it tingle and looked in the mirror and there were 2 small blisters so I hurried up and took my meds. It was amazing it worked so good. I had a tiny bump for 2 days and then it was gone."


"I completely blew out L5 and crushed some nerves while I was active and after going to my PCM (primary care manager) for almost a year and only recieving lortab 10/500 the whole time, I was finally refered to a pain management specialist. He put me on Oxycontin 20mg ER and Fentora 200mcg for breakthrough pain. Although the oxycontin was the least potent medication I was on, it seemed to work much better than the rest. Now I've since been discharged and have a new doctor, who is now giving me 40mg Oxycontin and Percocet 10/325 for breakthrough pain. The 40mgs are working much better and I don't have to deal with the addictive fentanyl. OxyContin has given me a quality of life that I had almost forgotten about."


"Helps for the first day, then symptoms return. Starting Zyrtec now."


"Works miraculously on a cough.  Be careful of the side effects.  Makes me somewhat woosey and dizzy.  Use only when desperate for relief."


"I  am 21 years old and have had eczema my entire life but it wasn't until I got my tonsils removed when I was 18 that the eczema became severe and spread throughout my entire body. For months I could find no relief and had open wounds from scratching all over my body. I tried changing my diet, acupuncture, went to see allergists and nothing was working.I then went and saw a dermatologist who introduced me to dupixent after pills and steroid cream didn't  fix it. Dupixent was finally approved and from the moment I started it my skin cleared up. I've been on it for nearly 4 months and still have clear skin with the occasional small flare up but cortisone cream fixes it right away. Can't praise dupixent enough!! Hopefully it continues to work!"


"Did my first dose at 5pm and it took an hour to work...I was so bloated after drinking 32 oz old. I mixed my with strong orange Kool-aid and put a teaspoon of honey in my tongue...i drink my in last then a minute..also i used two straw and put deep in my throat...I hardly tasted anything"


"I have been on Pristiq for four weeks and as others have noted, I have lost weight (20 lbs.) and have feel much better about myself both mentally and physically. I have experienced some unpleasant side effects that could possibly be the Pristiq but could also be caused from a new pain medication I have been trying. Maybe the doctor can decide next week after my checkup."


"Wow. This saved me. I'm an entrepreneur who has been kind of avoiding public speaking for a while. I had to present at a conference today - which usually would mean my heart beating out of my chest, shaking hands and voice.

Not today. I killed the presentation because of propanolol - I was cool as a cucumber and my heart was nice and slow. I'm excited for my next opportunity to present now.

I took 10mg about 2 hours before, then 10mg 1 hour before, and another 10mg 15min before. I probably didn't need that much - but I really wanted it to work.

Next time I'll probably only take 10mg 2 hours then 10mg 1hour before."


"I am on my fourth day and still no bowel motion. Each time I took at night an hour before bedtime with water and it's amazing because there really isn't a taste at all. You would never know anything was added to the water. Just make sure you stir it so the water is pretty clear to keep it tasteless. I do have to say over the last 4 days I haven't had any bloating or gas."


"I had breast cancer lobular year ago, 1.8cm 4 lymph node involved, modified mastectomy, chemotherapy then 34 radiation, then letrozole, and Zoladex, when combination the letrozole and zoladex really hard on me, caused WBC low and liver enzyme elevated, I have a lot of joint pain, but I decided to removed my ovaries and tubes after then will just need to take letrozole, I feel much better, liver enzyme ok, WBC normal now, every morning I will get ACAI bowl for breakfast, really help, I just have mild hot flash , mild muscle ache, if I get up in the morning moving around will go away, also I changed my diet complete vegan, I lost 9 lbs,feel more energy, I went back to Taiwan to have my ovaries and tube removed, pain instantly went away after surgery."


"I had a yeast infection after taking an antibiotic for an ear infection. Although relief wasn't instantaneous, with one pill  I felt a major difference in about 12 hours!"


"I've taken Contrave for 7 months (Nov 14 - May 15) and have lost about 30 pounds.  Yes, side effects in the beginning were tough.  I cannot take two pills at the same time - the headache and nausea are too severe, so I take one when I get up, 11 am, 2pm, and 4 pm. It doesn't curb my appetite in the least - just makes it where I'm not hungry.  But since I'm diabetic I have to ensure to eat throughout the day.  The past 3 months the weight loss has stalled. I still take 4 pills a day, but have been stuck gaining and losing the same three to five pounds.  Not sure what to do next to lose my last 20 pounds as increased exercise/decrease calories has not worked."


"I am currently 21 years old, but started taking Pristiq a few years ago. I had previously tried Prozac, then Effexor, but I couldn't see much of a difference. Once I started taking Pristiq 50mg, I felt the results within the same week. It was great. However, whenever I missed a day I would feel the adverse side effects almost immediately. Brain zaps, depersonalization, dizziness, foggy thoughts, nausea, sweating, crying spells, headaches... I eventually got off of it (I honestly don't know how) but it was a very difficult 2-week process. Two years later I am back on wellbutrin (after a bad experience with lexapro). Pristiq was definitely effective but extremely addictive. Not something I'd recommend without reservation."


"Best experience ever. Is this how the normal population lives? For the first time in my life my skin isn't greasy and my hair isn't oily. I would have to wash my hair everyday and it was always frizzy. I wash my hair once a week now and I don't even bother wearing makeup. I will be so sad to return to my old greasy self. I take 30mg 2x a day. I was religious about everything for the first 2 months until I went a little crazy. It was summer and I was miserable with the sun rash and being itchy. After that I would cut back to 1 a day when it got too itchy and too dry. I would love to take 2 pills a week forever!"


"Love it , finally felt normal or what I think it means , only problem I have is the restless legs its much worse now that its been increased to 80mg , but I was fine on 60mg , my solution is to sponge my legs with cool water as it happens at night , helps a bit . Otherwise its the magic bullet for me."


"I've always had 3 day migraines. MaxAlt will take it away in about 35 minutes. Sometimes I would have to take another one (dissolved in my mouth) the next day. I cannot stress enough how much I love this medicine. I come from days when Darvon's were given for migraines, they didn't do anything but zombie you with the pain. I thank the scientist who figured out how to control whatever it is that is being controlled. Of course, it IS too expensive. Without insurance, I would have to suffer, as they are about $32 per pill!"


"The side effects were not worth any potential weight loss. I spent way too much time on the toilet. I wasn't even having bowel movements. I would sit there and "oil" for hours. I had accidents, and "oiled" myself with this nasty orange oil. I'd rather be a fat cow than have accidents in my pants."


"I've had a horrible experience on this pill. I started taking it after my third child and it has absolutely altered my mental wellbeing. I have been depressed, anxious, nervous, angry, it's been a nightmare. Stopping right away, good to know I'm not the only one going through this."


"Pros: Didn't get pregnant, didn't have to worry about taking a pill everyday.

Cons: Facial acne, acne on shoulders, chest, upper arms and back, change in hair/scalp (now itchy and flaky, almost like I have dandruff, and dandruff shampoo doesn't help), controlling of my mood, and no change in cramps.

I have mild anxiety and the Nexplanon made it so much worse. Along with that, it's controlling my mood to the point where I am very irritated and angry over the smallest things. I did not have many pimples with a combination birth control pill, and now my face, shoulders, upper arms, chest, and back look like pepperoni pizza. I have never had a scalp issue, and now my head constantly itches and flakes.

DON'T DO IT"


"I switched from Beyaz to Junel mainly because I wanted to clear up my skin. It was a very spur of the moment thing and my doc gyno didn't really treadle in the pros and cons. So, I'm on the new pack...I finish the new pack (28 days no placebo) and, nothing. Well, barely. My period is SO light (2-3 days tops) from what it used to be. (4-9 days heavy, heavy flow)  I was throttled at first because yes, I was sexually active at the time and the scantiness of the flow really freaked me out. My acne did clear up. I still get my period every month no matter how miniscule it is. I could talk about Junel all day but...they don't give me enough words."


"Quetiapine 25mg used to get over Post traumatic stress disorder post Mental Health problems caused by an allergy to Valium. Presently taking 50% of a tablet at night."


"I have an Arnold chiari stage 3, severe scolosis with Harrington rods, and bulging discs at L4-L5 and C4-5-6. I have found that Vicodin is the only pain killer that works well enough for me to function. I have two young kids who need me to be able to function, and a husband. I do caution to use this wisely. I don't notice any ill side effects."


"I have been on so many other pain meds that made me sick and yes it was the one Dr who cared about someones pain that help prescribed it to me. Methadone is great because its the 1st thing I take and the last thing I take in a day so I can have life without so much pain."


"This was the worst I wouldn't give this to my dog. I was given this to treat Bipolar II when I was 22. It screwed with my sugar system, kept me near comatose and gave me tics that thankfully went away when I stopped taking it.  I would never take this again."


"It's absolutely wonderful for period cramps. For me, they're effective within 20 minutes, and they're the only things that work."


"The potential side effect list became my life.  I got everything, the extreme sweating,  nausea,  dry mouth,  constipation... all of it.  Had to stop going to my daily kickboxing classes completely because I'd get dizzy and throw up every five minutes until I stopped working out.  I had to plan taking it around being able to spend two hours in bed not moving in air conditioning just to keep it down.  Saw 0 effect on mood, I was switched to a new one yesterday and hopefully life gets better."


"I was on this med in 2010 for a year. The dose went from 25mg up to 400mg. The first few weeks were very difficult. It knocked me out cold and I had such a blocked nose I could hardly breathe. I toughed it out and my depression lifted. I stopped taking it because of really bad blocked nose. I have just had a major depressive episode (2015) with insomnia. I was prescribed 100mg. It worked within 24 hours. I was able to sleep for 9 hours and feel refreshed and energized. The depression and anxiety have improved dramatically. This time I'll stay on Seroquel."


"Reclipsen was recommended to me by my doc when I was on other previous BC , because the dosage wasn't strong enough. I have been on Reclipsen regularly for about a year now and my depression, anxiety is through the roof.

Everything makes me irritable and I always want to be left alone. It feels horrible!

I was not always this way. Before the pill I was much more relaxed and enjoyed company! I do not recommend this pill to anyone and will not be taking it anymore. Too much stress and anxiety on my body.

I always feel fatigue, exhausted, no energy or sex drive!"


"I was just prescribed Gabapentin for anxiety coming off of alcohol. I'm taking Antabuse also, so since booze isn't an option and the doc won't prescribe a bento, I had to try his recommendation. I'm prescribed 2 x 300mg a day. Day 1, an hour after I took my first, felt like I was on a low dose of adderall more than a relaxer. Slight tremble in my hands, very talkative. Day 2, I took the morning dose and a cup of coffee. 2 hours later, I started getting shocks (not brain zaps), but shocks like I felt I might have a seizure. Told the doc, said impossible it's related. Took my evening dose. An hour later, super irritable, trouble walking, very dizzy. Stopped the Med."


"Does not last a full 12 hours. Pain comes back about 7 to 8 hours after taking Nucynta ER."


"I've been on it two months now. The first month I lost ten pounds but now the weight loss stopped. Never suppressed my appetite. I'm ready to try something different."


"I most often used only when I want that cigarette in the morning I keep busy and focus on my health I use my spray 8 times a day. I use rubber bands on wrist when urge comes to smoke because I don't want to depend on spray, light exercise and walks where smoking isn't allowed. my house doesn't smell like smoke, my clothes do cause I can't wash them all at once I can breathe better. believe believe believe"


"Reluctantly started due to reviews to prevent migraines and clear up severe blurry vision...50mg...caused facial tightness, made headaches worse, tiredness, slowness, about to think ok, bouts of tingling, vision somewhat cleared, will be reducing dose to 25mg...we will see how this works out"


"At first, I took Remeron and I was knocked out for a full day. I was underweight and had panic anxiety. This really helped me. After the first day my body seemed to adjust to Remeron and by the 3rd day, I didn't have any tired feeling at all.  It definitely helped me with sleep.  I am now on 30 x 2 tabs a day and have been on this for years. I am actually afraid to get off of it. It has helped me through very difficult times."


"I was diagnosed with mild bipolar disorder, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety.  Most of my adult life I had insomnia.  I use Seroquel 50 mg once a day and Celexa.  The Seroquel stopped the racing thoughts, generalized anxiety, allows me to sleep well at night, and I'm able to think things through rationally.  Seroquel is the best medicine for me. I love it. I used to only take it at night as I would fall asleep immediately, but now I'm able to take it during the day."


"Update! I started Contrave on 12/6/15 at 5'2" and 166lbs. As of 1/17/16 I'm down 15lbs. I'm on 1400 calories or less a day and exercise for about 20-30 minutes 2-3 times per week (if I'm lucky!). I'm a nurse so I regularly get at least 8-10K steps I per shift, so that may be a plus for me. The nausea and constipation have gone away, but when I tried to go up to 4 pills, the nausea and headaches came back with a vengeance, so I've been taking 3 pills and steadily losing weight so I'm not concerned about titrating up to 4 pills. Don't give up -- your body needs time to adjust. It is not a miracle pill - you have to make an effort and lifestyle change if you want this medication to help with your weight loss."


"I have been dealing with dry eyes for almost two years, with excessive tearing which was getting worse and worse.   I was getting depressed thinking that I would have to carry a tissue with me forever.  But then I heard about Xiidra - and everything changed.  I started using it at the end of January of this year, and now 3 1/2 months later I no longer have any tearing at all.  It happened gradually until one day I realized I hadn't dabbed at my eyes with a tissue for the entire day.  I am SO happy that this product is on the market!"


"I take methadone tablets at 10 milligrams once 3 times a day for severe chronic leg and nerve pain and it gives me all day relief. It makes you a little drowsy but at night time there is nothing better to help you fall asleep easier. All I have to say is thank goodness for it.. because I've tried it all from Percocets to Oxy's from Lyrica and Opana and this really works."


"Had allergic reaction of hives, swelling and itching."


"I've had chronic headaches for 4-5 years and was treating symptoms with OTC meds which eventually became ineffective. Started having severe migraines about once a week for which I finally sought a more permanent treatment. Had some undesirable side effects to a few of the initial prescriptions. Hair loss, nausea, insomnia, etc. I had a rough start with Nortriptyline. As I increased the dosage I experienced prolonged drowsiness and some constipation. After a few weeks the symptoms decreased and my head aches stopped being a daily occurrence. I have had a few migraines since starting but these have also become less frequent. Maybe from once a week to once a month now. Hoping this works for me long-term and doesn't become ineffective."


"Double edged sword with Adderall. Great for concentration, brought my college GPA from a 2.5 to a 3.7, amazing. Although I do have trouble sleeping with it, and I often have mild bouts of depression, and roller coaster of emotion that I never have had before. Although it is important to state that this may be because I am not eating as much and forget to eat, which could easily cause these symptoms. AMAZING for athletics, I am able to run 3-4 times farther with this, really great. A nice feeling when its working and with  a definite comedown. Its important to mention I am on the IR version, which could be causing these side effects. My food habits are also now VERY healthy."


"Update - I have been on this medication since March 9 (6 weeks, 3 days) and have lost 14 pounds.  I think it works well.  The only complaint is still the constipation issue but if you stay on top of things (Miralax every day, faithfully) it will be ok."


"My experience with taltz has been wonderful as far as the improvement but the cost of $12,500 is really outrageous. I was started by my dermatologist on samples and then hit with the price. I feel that this is discrimination and price gouging. If I was in a lower income bracket I would only have to pay $25.00 so apparently the cost to me and others is supplementing other people. I get regular phone calls from a nice little girl from Lilly Cares and I told her it's more like Lilly doesn't give a damn. I am now consulting an attorney and looking for other medications"


"The taste was like no other. Gagging quickly ensued followed by desperate attempts to wash down the vile substance with applejuice. Just when I thought the worst was over and realizing I had finally finished drinking the suprep, a rumble consumed my entire body and I ran to the bathroom. I am not a fan of excercise, but this made me wish I had done more cardio in the past. When I reached the toilet, I cannot express the rate at which liquid projectiled from my butt. I swore that I lifted at least a foot from the toilet on some thrusts. My boyfriend was nice enough to bring me a TV, ipad, cell phone, heater, and water bottle as we realized i would have to bunker down for the night."


"Started saxenda 3 weeks ago. First week slight nausea.  A little dry mouth. Need to increase fluids more than likely. I have struggled my whole life with my weight. Even started process for gastric sleeve and backed out at the end. I have lost 14 lbs in 19days. 1800 calorie diet. Most days under that. I don't feel hungry. Don't crave sweets like I did. And diet coke makes me nausea. I am very hopeful. The warning for thyroid cancer does somewhat alarm me. But planning maybe to stay on saxenda 6 months to 1 year. I start 3 mg in 2days. I have be impressed with results."


"So far it has been the best med for my grandson.  He no longer hear voices or is delusional.  I am so pleased this is working for him.  He is almost back to his old self"


"I was diagnosed with toxic psychosis due to cannabis abuse and this medicine saved my life while no other medicine could end my delusions and paranoia. I am very thankful."


"I have started on celexa 10mg for severe anxiety I was having ( to the point where I couldn't function and thought I was going to lose my job) I'm only a week in the 10 mg and I already feel a lot better, the anxiety is still there but is manageable. I will be upping to 20 mg this weekend in case it makes me sick. Which brings me to my next advice, if you have a sensitive stomach or was not on any other medication start in a low dose and start on a Friday or Saturday because you will have bad symptoms. I was extremely nauseous, I couldn't sleep and it made me feel really weird for a while. I had to take petbo bismol tablets to make sure I did not throw up the medication and be back to square one. But that has passed and I feel better now!"


"It took a while to find the right problems then the right medicines, then the right dosage but once we did even my husband could tell the difference and I could too.  It was an immediate difference, the next day with the Clonazepam I felt an instant calmness and togetherness that I had not felt before. I take 40mg (2 x 20mg XR) in the morning with Clonazepam 1 - 1 mg tab because I have panic attacks and anxiety sometimes.  Then 2 -1 mg Clonazepam at night which relaxes me and I am able to not have nightmares and can sleep.  Without the medicines including the Lexapro 20mg I have terrible depression, nightmares, cannot concentrate, the post traumatic stress disorder takes over and the hypervigilence is awful.  The drugs have made such a positive difference and my husband agrees."


"I am a practicing dentist and health book author. I sufferd a flare-up of ulcerartive colitis and was treated with IV corticosteroids. When I weaned off the prednisone pills, within a week I was having the emergency diarrhea again. I was on melasamine but it only stopped the bleeding. The emergency diarrhea continued and the stomach cramps were unbearable. I stopped the mesalamine and went on prednisone. Predisone works 100%. I would rather suffer an unwanted side effect from prednisone but be able to go to functions and work, etc and have diarrhea running down my pants. I continually attempt to wean myself off the prednisone."


"Still recovering from rebound 4 months later. Horrible product"


"I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid. I've tried all sorts of medications, (two type of Adderall and I don't even remember what else). Around two years ago, my doctor decided to switch me to Vyvanse. It is effective, I won't lie, but the side effects make it less than desirable. I am a 17 year old on a 7 year old's dosage and it still causes me to have mood swings, become irritable and antisocial, and kills my appetite. If I happen to be stressed out, on my period, and on Vyvanse on the same time (both tantrums and objects will be thrown). I've taken to using it on an as needed basis. It's not as effective this way, and my doctor doesn't like it, but at least I can balance academics and a social life this way."


"I am on my 4th year with Mirena and it has been great.  The original procedure was not painful, a little uncomfortable but nothing major.  Slight cramping after the procedure.  No monthly cramps, it took a while before they became almost non-existent (maybe 1 year), no mood swings.  I am happy with mine."


"Everyday I was very depressed or very angery for no apparant reason. It felt like my brain was all tangled and it was really hurting me, and had been for years. So I talked with my doctor, and she put me on 200mg seroquel. Since then I can think clearly and feel happy, I love it. You start at 25mg and work up to higher doses. Watch out though, if you try to start at 200mg it can knock you out for 24hrs, or at least it knocked me out."


"switched from the pill because I couldn't remember to take them, and for some reason I always had to clear my throat and cough up excessive mucous throughout the day. I still have my same number of menstrual days which is 6, I've never had cramps. Both the pills and the patch keep my face clear of acne which is a plus. The patch doesn't fall off because I put it below my arm pit where my bra covers it and I alternate sides each week.My only concern with the patch is that it leaves a rash/outline imprint where the patch used to be.  It hasn't decreased my sex drive but it has decreased the amount of wetness down there during sex. I want to get off BC completely but I'm afraid to get acne/pregnant."


"I started implanon May of 2010 and it was great for the first 9 months or so. I would have a period every few months, but when I did, it was for about a month. I didn't mind it at first, but now I have a period every month for a month. Yes, now it is "regular", I'm just hoping my periods will get shorter in the long run.

On the bright side, I'm not pregnant and haven't had to take pills all the time."


"I had my gallbladder removed on 10/20/16. I had been constipated for about 2 weeks prior to surgery. I am generally constipated anyways. So I tried fibre, stool softeners, glycerin suppository, and enemas. Nothing was working. My friend told me about the magnesium citrate. Last night (10/22/16) I drank half the bottle at 8pm. I went on to sleep with just a bloated feeling. Woke up at 9am and still nothing. So I took the rest of the bottle followed by 2 bottles of water. I was starting to get worried around 12:30pm when nothing had happened and it had been nearly 17 hours. I decided to try an enema to maybe help it along. I could feel my tummy rumbling. That's when it happened! It was like a geyser. Good product."


"I take birth control for severe menstrual cramps and this did the job! No cramps and very light period. HOWEVER, I was extremely emotional and drowsy all the time! I didn't feel like myself, I didn't want to be around anyone and the littlest thing pissed me off. As soon as I was on the period I felt SO different. That's when I knew I could not take it again. I also got bad acne, but it may have been due to the stress of knowing I was not feeling like myself. I only took it for one month. If you do not feel like yourself when taking it please talk to your physician. When I told mine he mentioned that this drug is known to make some patients depressed."


"Ativan will definitely help calm you down, but stick to the script! If you quit cold turkey you will have withdrawals for a week. You build a slight tolerance for it and want more. If you give in and take more you will run out before refill time and then come the withdrawals! But it does do its job on anxiety!"


"It works good for my degenerative disc disease. I was diagnosed with in my back my l4 and l5 disc are very bad. Percocets have worked the best for me."


"I took tadalafil for enlarge my penis, when I don't have any ED issue. initially I took 5mg medicine for some reason I stopped intake it but I faced side effects that when I did intercourse my erection went suddenly again I went to Dr and he prescribed me for 10mg to take daily basis I took this for three days I gained wonderful erection but I wonder do I need to take this stuff life long so I stopped and doing natural treatment. But not getting full erection. So guys keep in mind you have to take this stuff if u want to have sex."


"I have pain in back, hands, knees, hip, ankles, etc.  do to an arthritic condition.  It takes about an hour for it to kick in, and lasts about 2 to 3 hours and the pain starts to come back.  I take 2 in the morning and try to last 12 hours to take 2 in the evening, but it is not working so good lately. In about 5 hours after taking the pills, I am back to all the pain.  I am going to check with my doctor to see if I can also take 2 in the afternoon."


"My son has had ADHD for as long as I can remember. We have been through 5 different ADHD medicines with some sort of side affect with each one. I started doing research and finding out what my options were. I found the Vyvanse by accident and I had to find out more. What I read was so amazing I wanted it for my son. I couldn't believe how hard it was to get the Doctors to understand I knew what I was doing and I was going to do whatever it took to get my son the proper help. Well needless to say my son has been on this medicine for quite a few months now and the difference is Amazing. He went from D and F's (not kidding) to an A student in this past report card. To see the smile on his face and the sense of accomplishment was worth it all. "


"This product works, not as well as Zolpedem but it works. I know that drugs work different on each person and can only tell you what it does to me. I first took it at 11 pm. Got very drowsy and slept mostly through the night. If I was woken up by my wife getting up or the cat jumping on the bed I went back to sleep. The problem is I woke up very groggy and it lasted till 4pm the next day.  The next night I took one pill at 8:30 pm and I was groggy till 3pm the next day. Zolpedem made me sleep through the night and I woke up fresh and awake. I don't know if I can take this product very often."


"I took this for about 3 yrs when I was 18-20 yrs old. I liked it and had no issues with it. No weight gain and kept my skin nice. Periods were kind of heavy with cramping but manageable."


"I was on Ocella for about 6 months.  I never experienced any headaches or spotting or anything like that and I'm not pregnant, so in those aspect Ocella was great.  But I had horrible MOOD SWINGS!  "


"Vyvanse changed my son's behavior even the first day, and he has taken Vyvanse daily for 2.5 years.  He was six when he started.  I also started taking Vyvanse, and just wish this had been around when I was a student."


"Had a bad experience with all side effects.  "


"I'm 38, took the pill, had light cramping off and on but no period.  A very light spotting that I wouldn't even consider a period.  Now a month and 1/2 later, still no period.  I've taken 3 pregnancy tests and all have been negative.  I'm hoping I will start my period soon but if not I guess its a trip to the doctor."


"Similar to other reviews, Belbuca did not relieve my chronic cervical pain.  My pain management physician started me on 150mcg January 2016, and within 90 days, moved me to 300mcg. I received minimal pain relief from this medication, (about 2 hours) and the packet can be difficult to work with.  Regardless of following the directions, I received inconsistent results when it came to how the medication is designed to dissolve. At the end of the day I no choice but to move back to my original pain medication."


"Been on this medicine for a long time. 10 years. It decreased my seizures a lot and my headaches. Also decreased my appetite and I've lost weight which I have no problem with. Out of all seizure medicines I've been on I highly suggest this one!"


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


"This Medicine Was Prescribed To Me, And I'm 15. This Is The Only Thing That Has Worked For Me."


"Life changing experience. I have been on many different medications on and off over the years, and trintellix is honestly the only thing that worked for me. Pros:
I was able to eat again! My depression and anxiety had caused me to lose over 30 pounds in just a few months, and I looked sickly. After 2 weeks on trintellix, I got my appetite back.
My anxiety reduced, but didn't fully subside. I had Xanax for emergencies when trintellix couldn't control my anxiety.
I was still able to feel emotions, and never had sexual dysfunction.
It helped me get my sleeping back on track, and I was able to establish a normal sleep schedule.
Cons:
Cost, thank goodness my doctor had a lot of samples becaue I could not afford the monthly cost every month."


"This is the worst birth control I’ve used. My periods are heavy and irregular. I have my period more often than I don’t. The pill may be annoying to take every day but it’s way better than this. I’ve used it for the entire 3 years and it never got better. The doctor kept telling me my period would get more regular but it never did. I would never recommend it."


"I began taking Belviq 10 mg twice a day May 25, 2017.  I have noticed that I am making better choices about the foods I eat, while not reaching for the sugary snacks after 7:00pm.  As of today, August 8, 2017 I am down the required 5% that my insurance company requires to continue the medicine.  I haven't found any noticeable side effects, mainly because even before I took this I was constantly fatigued due to life situation/stress.  I went into this seeing people commenting about "Oh, I lost 20# my first month" but for me, that's not the case.  I need the bump the medicine gives me to slowly lose the weight.  No reason to rush it and I think because of that attitude, I'm more pleased with my results.  Looking forward to next 12 weeks!"


"Chapped hands"


"I've been taking this birth control for quite awhile now and my body has gotten used to it.  The first few months I experienced mood swings and brown spotting but other than that it works quite well. No pregnancies so far."


"Tramadol ER works very well for fibromyalgia pain. I take 100mg a day with Savella 50mg and so far it's the only combination that helps. Some days nothing helps, but I have had more better days with this combination."


"So far, I have been on Glucophage for 2 1/2 weeks for Insulin Resistance due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I had a little nausea and diarrhea the first two days. By day three or four, I had no more negative side effects.
It worked very quickly, I quickly began to lose weight and started menstruating again. My skin also began to clear up within the first week.
Glucophage helps so many of the terrible issues caused by PCOS. I need more time to better evaluate the medicine, but so far it is like a miracle. If it is taken with food, the side effects are negligible."


"I just finished the free 2 week trial and lost 8 pounds! I couldn't believe it. I hadn't excerised either but will start incorporating it in a few times a week. Dr. prescribed me a 3 month supply, my insurance doesn't cover but the savings card from Belviq helps. I'll try one month and see from there."


"Be extremely cautious when taking this medication. It was way to strong for me. I was prescribed this Medication, because I had developed a situation that the antibiotics I was taking were making me sick, so I was given Metronidazole, which made matters worse for me. I was experiencing Antibiotic Overload. Not a pleasant experience at all. Good luck if you have to take this med."


"I have had moderate anxiety with agoraphobia for about 5 years. The peak of it came about just before my first day at work, My doctor placed me on 0.5mg/day when required. I took the pill 2 days prior to work and thank goodness, I was able to focus and speak my mind. Downside is the drowsiness side effect."


"I have been taking Voltaren for the past 6 years in conjunction with omapromazin.

I would not have been able to walk, sleep or enjoy life. It is only now after having two knee replacements that I no longer need to take any medication. I think Voltaren is a way to enjoy life again, without pain. But for me I am happy to have the new knee replacements."


"I can't say enough about how much this medicine has helped me with depression. I spent years in and out of deep depression. I was finally diagnosed with depression and post traumatic stress disorder and started Prozac at 20 mg then went up to 40mg. I knew it was helping but I didn't fully realize how much until I forgot to take it for about 5 days. Then I started to feel the hopeless feeling I get with depression and I haven't missed a dose since. I'm one of the lucky ones with no negative side effects. My libido is better than ever and I've actually lost a few pounds. I sleep great and wake up every morning feeling rested and more positive about life than I ever have before."


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


"I hate reading reviews before I take a med because it does have a placebo affect on you whether it’ll work or not. (If you’re doing this, stop! Just take the meds and see how it works for YOU.) But I was put on belbuca after misusing Vicodin from chronic pain and disc replacement surgery. Vicodin helped but dosage wasn’t enough and I abused it. But belbuca Never helped my pain. Started at 300 and had WDs so bumped to 600mg and helped WDs, but not pain. I had break through meds but Belbuca renders them useless. I ended up taking more BT meds trying to help pain on bad days but then sent red flags to my doc. He didn’t seem to get Belbuca did not work for me. Withdrawals are GOD AWFUL."


"This was the best medicine that covered a wide variety of mental disorders. I took this pill 60mg for 6 years. I was then hospitalized on an unrelated matter and the doctor had me taken off of this, abruptly. That was the wrong thing to do, I fell into a deep depression that stayed out of control for 3 weeks. The longest 3 weeks of my life, I could not function at all. BE CAREFUL WHEN STOPPING THIS PILL!!!!!!!!!"


"This medicine is great for anxiety, but within first month noticed weight gain and has increased significantly over past 10 years, cannot seem to lose weight only lost 5 pounds on extreme diet/exercise."

"After two years of uncontrolled bleeding on all different types of birth control this one is the only one thy ever worked and has been ever since! Everyone is different you just need to find the birth Control that works best for you !"


"Ya i am using cetrizine from past 5 years i am having a  good relief"


"It works very well for an OTC. Not to be insensitive, but truthfully all the people who say the side effects make it not worth it most likely don't know what a true "migraine" is."


"I have been using the Nuvaring for 6 years now, and I recommend it to everyone who inquires!
Its is by far the best method of Birth control I have ever come across, and I have used them all from condoms, the patch, the pill. I had such trouble remembering to take the pill, and now, all I do is put a little sticker on my calendar and just worry about it once a month! Just wonderful...thank you to whoever came up with this great product!"
