"I'm at 110mgs a day, kept me clean from other opiates now for a year, only downfall is that it doesn't seem to last as long as I need it to, by the early evening I feel down and weakand not to mention the dry constipation.... But really how can I complain? I'd take a little weakness and dry shit any day over the life I had during my addiction. Not only has this helped me with an addiction but with chronic back pain, I have degenerative disc disease, ruptured, slippled and bulging disc in my back, for the most part  methadose controls my severe pain... I think god for it but I truely don't want to be on this my entire life.. 26yrold female"


"NuvaRing has been good to me. I have issues with anxiety and so I feared that going on birth control would play (negatively) with my mood/anxiety. However, I've had a good experience with it, and have experienced no negative mood symptoms. Sure, I get the occasional mood swing, however this is nothing unmanageable. The one and only complaint is that I have gained a good 10 pounds. It honestly just feels like water retention, but slightly annoying as I was very happy with my weight prior to NuvaRing. Otherwise, this contraceptive has been good to me, my health and my mood."


"This medication has been a lifesaver!  I have been on it for almost 3 weeks and I am amazed at how much better I feel.  I suffered a breakdown just after Thanksgiving and continued to be an utter disaster for a few weeks...I entered a PHP program where the Psych suggested Pristiq, something I had been asking my Primary Psych for months!  After about 4-5 days, I began to feel somewhat whole again and I'm getting better each day.  I still have my ups and downs but I'm now able to get out of bed and shower everyday!  The only reason I did not give a 10 is because of some undesirable side effects such as, nausea and very dry mouth.  I am told that by 4-6 weeks this should go away."


"I have been on this pill for over three years. It has regulated my period, making it faster and lighter. It help controls my acne. It's helped prevent pregnancy. CONS: I get severe migraines to the point where I take over the counter headache relief like candy and still doesn't help, sometimes end up vomiting from the severity of the pain. I was overweight (230) when I started it, and I gained more weight within the past three years (260). I exercise by walking on a treadmill for 45 min everyday and I eat pretty decently for a college kid. I have not been able to lose any weight, despite my efforts. I never experienced cramps before and I don't while on this BC either."


"I've been on this pill for about 2 years , I've never really had a problem with this pill ...heck I have no complains really . I just notice sometimes I get break through bleeding especially if I start a new cycle after skipping a month.  My skin remains clear , my mood swings are in check plus I get a lighter period. I really do believe this pill works differently for different people. Yes my breast do get tender around my period but that's normal for my body. I did gain wieght but I'm not sure it was due to the pill Bc I do eat a lot. Lol. My body only filled out more in the right places. I also have a healthy sex drive unlike when I was on the Nuevo ring."


"Take pill, fall asleep within 20 minutes."


"I got Implanon about 4 months ago and have not been off my period/spotting since. That alone is very frustrating but I try to work around it when it comes to my sex life. I have not gotten pregnant so it is doing it's job but along than the spotting. I also get frequent headaches."


"I was put on Jolivette because I suffer from migraines and I can't have estrogen or I experience stroke like symptoms. Overall I didn't have an issue with the medication. In the beginning of treatment I did notice I was kind of sensitive and a tad moody, but for me It passed. I've been on this BC since Novemeber, no complaints. I read the other reviews and I just want to remind everyone that every woman's body is different and we all have different needs.  I didn't break out in acne, I didn't gain weight, (I'm very active, if that matters), I say it takes a couples months for your body to get used to the new hormone, but it's nothing intolerable once time has passed."


"I had spinal fusion (L4-S2) and my doctor is stating I need to possibly have L2-L3 fused.  My doctor had me on Norco and this did little and then while he was out of the office one day another doctor in his office saw me and put me on Fentanyl.  At first it was great, I had the same problem everyone else had with patches only lasting 48 hours and it was impossible to find some place they would stay on.  But later it was hard to regulate my body temperature, I would get burning hot and then cold and it wasn't because the patch was old or not on.  This medication helps my pain more than anything else."


"Duac changed my life. I had a great amount of acne and thanks to duac I don't have any acne. It took about 3 weeks to kick in and once it did I have not had acne since. It's been about 3 months since I started using it."


"I am 33 years old and have had two children. This is my seventh month taking this pill. I have had troubles finding a pill that would not give me heavy spotting for months.  I have not gained a pound. I did have nausea and breast tenderness for the first few weeks and slight spotting.  I missed my period last month but got it a week early this month. Periods are a lot lighter and last no more than 4 days. I am not a fan of chewing my pills so just swallow. Overall I would recommend this pill."


"I took Prevacid to treat a gastric ulcer I had when I took an NSAID for my back pain. It worked well for me."


"Taken for a month and have noticed positive improvement in every part of my life! Only side effect was gas in the beginning but has gone away."


"This did the job in removing nerve pain (50mg) BUT I couldn't sleep because I was hyper. Wild dreams, sweats, and constantly waking. Being hyper was super in the day as it completely removed my severe fatigue. Dropped to half dose 25mg to see if it helped. The hyperness continued unfortunately though less, but the nerve pain also returned, though not as severe. Other side effects which are a little worrying: Woke one morning with massive pain in one eye/side of head unlike anything I've had before. Scary. Also a constant eye tic has developed plus a constant weird dizzy ringing feeling in the head and vertigo when standing. I'm thinking of stopping though love the extra energy and effect on nerve pain."


"Terrible, yes it will stop your diharea but it will just hold everything in & make you nauses & after the pill wears over? Diharea again!!"


"I'm 16. I was prescribed 36mg Comcentra  I took it at 8:30pm (was suppose to take it in morning) it worksd it helped me focus but 3 hours into it I started feeling anxiety and later I had a crash. Couldn't sleep stayed up the whole entire night. I also has many other side effects like lack of appitite and heavy breathing might be to large of a dose but overall without the crazy side effects it helped me get stuff done and concentrate"


"Relieves chronic back pain faster and lasts longer than most other pain medications."


"I have been a migraine sufferer for almost 17 years. I went on and then off birth control as a means of trying to reduce the number of migraines I would get. Often 3-4 times a month. I was given Amerge which was effective. I then switched to Imitrex. An accident last summer caused me great nerve pain and in the fall I was put on Gabapentin for this nerve pain in my arm from my elbow dislocation. Throughout the fall and winter I had a few headaches, nothing that popping a few Excedrins wouldn't take away. Three weeks ago, I stopped taking Gabapentin to try to reduce the drugs I'm taking. Big mistake. For the past week, I have had blinding migraines unresponsive to Excedrin and Imitrex. I will be going back on Gabapentin."


"7 years ago, my hip pain was so intense I could hardly get up in the morning. I have tried Cymbalta, but went back to Effexor XR. It does the work for me."


"I'm taking Pristiq for mild anxiety. Side effects include interrupted sleeping patterns, severe constipation, and decreased sexual drive/inability to have orgasm. Anxiety has decreased tremendously and I feel great (i.e. more patience, focused, clear headed), but not sure if side effects are worth it."

"I have been on Trinessa for 3 months. Everything was going just fine the first two months a little irritated at times but I assumed thats just my body getting used to the birth control. Anyway, it wasn't until recently, half way through my second month up until the middle of my third month (today) I have been beyond sensitive. Tired. Really sore breast and literally cry at random times of day, I just cry for no reason but I feel so helpless. I have never felt so overwhelmed and emotional my whole life. I'm seriously not the crying type at all. As soon as I finish this pack I'm trying something different. I have the mood swings."


"I have headaches everyday. I get them in the morning and vomiting is first thing. Imitrex injections clear them right up."


"I've been on other BCs before so I knew it would take a few weeks to adjust.

Migraines: week 1 I had two migraines with auras. I have had migraines in the past, but never with auras and never this bad. I kept getting migraines and headaches until I cut out all caffeine.

Acne: I know every girl reacts differently to BC but honestly if anything my acne got worse. I didn't really have a problem before this pill, but now I notice a few pimples every day.

Pain: since I'm not on my period on this pill the pain is "lessened" but not gone. Instead, it's almost constant.

Bleeding: I have been "spotting" every day for over 2 months. Lately I'm getting rashes and a bad smell because of wearing liners every day.

For these reasons I'm stopping."


"After 7 years of several different medicines to try to stop the growth of the tumors, Femara is the only one which worked for me. My WBC is higher, the tumor has actually shrunk in the breast - but being realistic, it's not a cure-all, a patch for a longer life but eventually we all expire. I highly recommend this product for those who want longevity without losing your quality of life."


"Loved it! It did its job. On it for 10 days. This drug has been around a long time - Nurses use it all the time for "older" patients. You MUST take it properly with a disciplined regimen. 1) Take some multi-strain probiotics to add back in more good fighter bacteria. 2) Strains should include yeast to prevent yeast infection. 3) Flush (drown) your system with water - shoot for 12 8oz glasses a day. Add lemon to some of the water for kidney health. 4) Take psylliym fiber, prune juice when necessary. Your gut will be very unbalanced while the army of good and army of bad are fighting and you won't know how many "soldiers" you have on each side at any given time."


"Xanax is amazing! In 2010 I was overwhelmed with emotions. My mother had a stroke in March of that year and at the same time me and my wife were expecting our 1st child. All these emotions led to me having depression and anxiety I was finally diagnosed in 2012 with anxiety disorder/panic attacks. They prescribed me Xanax 0.5mg one a day and it works miracles in my daily life."


"Minimal side effects (nausea for 2-4 days after each titration.) Activating, rather than sedating. Very effective for depression."


"Im 30 yo and very physically fit. Ive always had great skin and since I tried this my skin has broken out every day not only on my fave but my body. My mood swings have been through the roof! The only good thing was my periods disappeared. I took my nexplanon out 3 days ago and skin is back to normal almost perfect and no mood swings. I guess it just does not balance with my body at all."


"Flexeril was first prescribed to me to help reduce pain, and along with other medication, aids in my sleep."


"I have been using this birth control for over a year, and it has proven to be perfect. The first 3 weeks I was taking it, I had pretty bad mood swings, but this is expected, and they quit happening around the time I started my second cycle of pills. I had irregular periods and bar cramping; both of those problems were fixed once again by the second month of pills. My flow was much lighter for a shorter amount of days (and you still have a period every month, which allows your body to still clean itself out). As a contraceptive, it is my only method of birth control and I'm not pregnant yet, so it's doing its job there. Never had acne but I break out less often. Basically this is a great pill."


"I have several people in my family who has bipolar disorder but did not like the fact that my depression and manic symptoms were results of this. While I was in the military they tried numerous medications, from clonazepam and celexa, to trazodone and effexor. Finally one of my Doctors decided to try me on lamotrigine and see how it works. I must tell you quite honestly that this is one of the best medications I have ever tried to combat my bipolar disorder. During the entire time I was being treated for this I had to deal with an injury I had during the war. The military's option was to dope me up to my eyeballs with opiates, which unsurprisingly made my mood unbelievably euphoric constantly."


"When I first started taking this birth control, it was great. My periods stopped and I only had some spotting the first month or so. About two-three months in though, I felt like it made me lose my sex drive a lot and had no libido. On top of this, I noticed I had a lot of vaginal dryness - even before having sex - and this made doing anything sexual not that pleasurable. I also gained a few pounds after beginning the pill. I didn't experience any change in my acne though, as it is a possible side effect of this particular birth control."


"Suffered YEARS from severe depression and anxiety.  SSRIs, SNRIs naturally didn't work, and I tried every one I could!  With Parnate (Tranylcypromine) I've felt normal for the first time in 15 - 20 years.  I actually enjoy the flavor of food again, the green of the grass, the freshness of a nice evening breeze, as well as my old hobbies and friends and family.  I still can't believe my luck.  Also, haven't needed to change my diet at all.  Fear of these drugs is overblown and usually irrational.  Most psychiatrists today have no clue about them, so I would advise that you or a friend/relative self-educate before asking your psychiatrist about taking Parnate or another MAOI.  There are some internet sites that can help with this. Don't quit!"


"Was prescribed Hydromet around the time H1N1 was spreading. I had a nasty cough, brutal body aches  and fever. As soon as I took a dose, the flu symptoms reduced significantly. The cough disappeared overnight. The only problem was the intense nausea that caused vomiting. Maybe should take with food to reduce side effects. Otherwise this syrup was a flu-buster like no other medicine."


"I had the shingles and the bumps went away, but the pain didn't. It was so severe that I could barley work. People didn't understand or believe me because you could not see my pain. I went to several pain specialists and I feel I was in the ER every other week. The pills they were giving me didn't help. I finally found the Pain Specialist that believed me. I am blessed that I found the right specialist and I am now using the 100mg Fentanyl Patches along with other medicine. It has saved my life and I am only in my 30s."


"I just took it yesterday and I can barely walk from the sharp lower left hand side pain on my back. I haven't eaten anything and my boyfriend still thinks I'm pregnant. I hope I'm not. Next week I will take a test to see but overall I'm hoping this pill works for me."


"Celexa has calmed me down a lot. I use to stress about everything. I always feared the worst. Celexa has helped me overcome this feeling. However at times I seem too laid back and I get very annoyed with people who complain about everyday situations.  At first I thought this drug is not working but a month later I don't know how I survived without it. I do have headaches more frequently and  sometimes I get lazy but sometimes I get this burst of energy too. Also every so often I get really somber but within an hour I calm down and feel awesome. This drug works wonders for me."


"Worked quickly and efficiently. Throat pain decreased within 2-3 days, nose congestion decreased within one day."


"Seroquel has worked wonderful for me so far! Levels out my ups and downs. No racing thoughts. Doesn't make me aggressive. Helps with my post traumatic stress disorder also!"


"Best OTC medicine available, with the least side effects (maybe a little sleepy).  Great to take traveling!"


"Me and my girlfriend had sex sadly the condom broke. I was so confused, I rushed to a local Walgreens and purchased the pill. Which was about two hours after our incident. Then here came the long waiting. We waited and nothing. I thought day after day. Guys let me tell you I have a future and this pill saved it. Don't use it as a birth control it is used for what it says, emergency only. Thanks science."


"Was taken off Geodon because of night-time anxiety and put on Seroquel XR. I feel so unmotivated. Sedated. I no more feel better by afternoon when it's time to take it again.  I dread the next dose. Haven't felt this depressed in a while."


"I have been on Celexa for about 8 months. Starting at 10mg and now I am currently taking 80mg (the max dose). I have seen very little improvement in my depression and anxiety."


"I have been on Plavix for a little over 5 years. It was prescribed by my Cardioligst following a vascular blockage and placement of a stent. Other than bruising and bleeding at the slightest contact, I have had no known side effects. I give Plavix a 10 because I am still kicking at 73."


"Only way I can stay off of heroin and pain pills"


"Been on insulin almost 3 years and metformin. Stopping insulin and taking 4 MG glimepiride 2x daily with breakfast and dinner. Doctor did because A1C was too good 6.2.  Only reaction after 6 days is having sweats constantly (but sugar is not low). I cannot see this on any reactions. I am having mild insomnia too."


"I was constipated for a few days so I decided to give these a shot...never again. The most severe stomach cramps I've ever had in my life, and they lasted for two hours. Two hours of sweating profusely, lying on the bathroom floor crying from the pain, considering how embarrassing an ER visit would be at 3 am because of Dulcolax cramps. It's like period cramps but a hundred times worse. When the medicine finally did its job, it produced staggered streams of hot lava for the remainder of the night. Needless to say, the intense pain wasn't worth the small, painful BM."


"After trying two other medicines with horrible side effects and no results, Cymbalta finally did the trick!  The side effects were mild (hot flashes, some shakiness, etc) have mostly subsided and I'm sleeping better."


"I take Lexapro 20mg once daily and 5mg (for now) three times daily. The first week I didn't notice much at all.. But now that I've been taking it for over a week I am starting to notice it's effects. Most notably when I let it dissolve under my tongue. This medication has no notable side effects. Only downside is its mildly underpowered. To me, Lexapro is the work horse, and Buspar is a helper."


"I was able to get off an i.v. cocaine habit with the help of generic Wellbutrin SR 150 once daily; then increased it to twice daily.  If you can leave coke alone for 2-3 weeks, it will leave you alone.
 Wellbutrin gave me just enough help to back off from the razors edge for that critical, first 2-3 weeks. As added insurance, I continued to take it once a day for about 1 year as a prophylaxis treatment to help prevent a relapse."


"I am coming off of this med and it's freaking horrible. Number one: I said it did not work and was making my anxiety worse. My doc kept me on it 2 mg day plus 20mg lexapro. Never again. I have to say it is rubbish because you can't just stop. Going to a new therapist today. Thank God. Stay away from this pill."


"They gave me 150 mg for my cough so i could actually sleep at night but it didnt work for me at all. Didnt stop my cough and didnt help me fall asleep it was pretty pointless because i felt like it wouldnt work. Now im running on 2-4 hours of sleep and a cup of coffee at school trying to do my work."


"So many other reviews on here but this drug is important. I will chime in as well since it has been prescribed a little different for me. I used to wake up in a panic a couple of times a week, but it's pretty easy for me to gauge my stress level and predict which nights are going to be bad ones. I take 0.25 or 0.5 mg 1 or 2 nights a week, before 2 am or I'll be so zonked I don't respond to my alarm. It does the trick so I can fall right back to sleep after waking, instead of panicking and then ruminating for 5-6 hours, and being a mess at work and with my kids the next day. It works so well & I can easily see how it would be addictive, but it's a life-changer so I am very careful."


"I had protected sex but we thought the condom may have broken so we went to the pharmacy and took the pill within 2 hours of having sex. Even though the condom may have not broken the wait was too long. I got my period 3 days late and it is more painful than usual but definitely worth taking the precaution just in case."


"Doctor Prescribed this to me after I was diagnosed with IBS. It seemed to work, but I didn't believe I was getting full effect. The doctor said at my young age of 17 (I'm now 18 since August 2017) I should not take as high as a dosage as some people but my pain I had told them I needed more so I moved from 10mg to 20mg. I often get very thirsty as a side affect and I'm almost always constipated. I'm actually typing this up as I'm in the bathroom right now, constipated. I don't believe I should be taking other medicines like laxatives or probiotics just to make up for this medicine that should be helping me."


"I had the Implanon placed in November of 2011. Since then I have been on my period almost non-stop. I am only 20. I had it originally because I was told I would no longer have a period which meant no cramping. Obviously not the case. I am extremely tired. I have also had very very extreme mood swings, anxiety, depression and so on. Most of which did not occur until a couple of months later. For a while I thought I had something seriously wrong with until I read other reviews of people having the same issue. I have always been a very happy, laid back person. But lately I snap on everyone from my boyfriend to family. I am having it removed."


"I've been using Alprostadil for about a year now due to erectile dysfunction caused by nerve damage from surgery. It took a while to get the dosage right, but after a bit I was able to deal it in. Although very effective, I have a slow reaction to it. Slow coming up (30-40 minutes) and slow going down (about 2 hours). Hence the 9 out of 10. "


"Slight improvement in mood, yet still witness episodes of bipolarity/depression, sometimes lasting more than 24 hrs in duration (previously these episodes could last a week or more) not so down and out all the time, negative effect on sexual 'drive', no real urge to even engage with the opposite sex, let alone participate in sexual activity"


"I've quit using Avapro after three days. I am someone who has had chemo, but the side effects of Avapro were worse: Slept almost all day, no appetite, night and sometimes day sweats, nausea, difficulty urinating."


"I am 83 yrs old an took Detrol for 6 weeks so I could join my family on an Alaska cruise it worked great voice was  raspy but could handle an several other side effects  BUT than came home an realized while in the car my eyes where not what they were before  so stopped taking the medication an am happy to say this morning I took my car and went shopping an eyes were just fine..will only take it when I am going to be gone for several day or an occasion that would require me to set for several hours,,,than I could not make it to the bathroom otherwise"


"Upon requesting a Yaz prescription from my doctor, I was initially concerned as I was very nauseous and threw-up a few times in the morning during the first week. Nonetheless, I remained on Yaz and I am certainly glad that I did. I do not suffer from any acne with the exception of the couple days preceding my period (minor and unpreventable chin acne due to hormones/menstruation). It%u2019s highly effective in preventing pregnancy and I have not noticed any weight gain. In fact, I felt thinner when I first began taking it. I do not experience any physical pain or health issues (I recently turned 21, I do not smoke, and I am very slim and active). Overall, Yaz is great."


"I can say this really wasn't the right pill for me. I'm 20 years old and I have a one year old daughter, so I decided that I wasn't really for anymore babies and I wanted birth control. Well my insurance got cut so I went to the county because a friend said I could get free birth control. They gave me 3 months worth of this one first and after I finish the last month they want me to come back for a check up. I have had severe anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember and I was just starting to be able to manage it on my own. I'm almost done with the first week on my second pack and I have absolutely no desire to do anything anymore. It's almost too hard to get out of bed. If you have anxiety/depression be careful!"


"I have severe lower back pain. It's mechanical and stretching helps
but it's not enough to stop this kind of pain.

I started on bupe but it was not enough. I tried Oxycodone at 10mg not helping. OxyContin that lasts many hours at around 40mg works. If I do stuff around the house or walk for a while I need to take 20mg oxycondone on top. I have done this for two years. I think this is a good drug. However, I'm thinking about going back to bupe as the stretching may have helped over the last year. I won't know unless I try."


"I started taking lorazapam (Adivan) when I was 16 (I'm 32 now) for panic attacks and anxiety, 2mg twice a day. They did work well but had a short half life. I had 3 grand mal seizures when I was trying to come off of them. I switched to klonopin 6 years ago because a new Dr said that they would keep me on a more even keel because of their longer half life and he was right!!  But even on klonopin, which ARE addictive, I had a grand mal seizure when trying to ween off.  So I just take my klonopin as directed, 1mg 3x a day and I feel normal.  Some people try to say that benzo's aren't addictive, but that's a lie.  So just be careful when u hear others say that they can take their medication only when they "need it"."


"It's so great to have something that finally works for me! It's fast acting and takes away my insane thoughts and brings me back to reality quickly .. My worries go away and i can feel like a normal person. I've been on ativan, clonazapam... And paxil and effexor in my younger days... The ativan did nothing .. The clonazapam was OK but is much better for sleep. The paxil and effexor were nightmares and had horrible side effects . I would never take that kind of medication again. I take 1-2 mg xanax when I get an attack or intrusive thoughts and it's the best thing for me ! I become a rational thinking person again.. And couldnt be happier to have something that really works.  It's really improved my life."


"It seems to be effective after a few hours. Numbs pain with little to no stomach upset. Always eat with them."


"I was getting nasal infections every 3 months that would last for weeks without treatment. I'd go in and get antibiotics and within a week it'd clear up. Then another 3 months later I'd get another infection. UNTIL I started using this spray! As long as I continue to use it, I don't get nose infections. And, it smells like flowers, which I like. :)"

"This drug made me crazy. Horrible mood swings, leg aches, crying spells, insomnia. Yikes!"


"I've been on Alesse twice, this time for 2 months so far. I've had no problems at all. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and it's fixed my period so far. My complexion is getting better, I've had no unusual depression or anxiety and I haven't gained additional weight.

"


"I have been suffering from anxiety for at least 15 years on and off due to being in a high pressure corporate role, coming to terms with my sexuality and 4 hectic years due to several life changes both personally and professionally. I decided 2 years ago enough was enough and tried Effexor for 12 months for my anxiety, it worked but I was in a haze all the time and it was horrendous to get off that stuff. I then had to go onto Lexapro which was a nightmare to get on and while it did work well and my anxiety stopped I still felt medicated. I then tapered off Lexapro, for 5 months unmedicated and was feeling okay then my anxiety came back worse. I am now on day 3 of Zoloft and I feel better with no bad side effects. Fingers crossed."


"I started the medicine November 5th 2014. I was working 10 hour days I broke my foot few days later unable to walk, work or anything. 30 days later I was 19lbs lighter.  I'm still on limited movement but I am happy with the results. I started our at 246lbs my goal is 150lbs."


"Amazing! I understand when people say they tried everything. I didn't have severe acne but persistent and regular plus it didn't help that I was a real squeezer and probably made whole situation worse. And I already get anxious about social situations so the skin problem added to that!
I was able to go on a low dose, 20mg which I was scared wouldn't be enough but this stuff is strong! Can't complain about the dry skin as how else is it going to work? The whole idea is to make you less oily. Lips were very dry and gross at the start and whole layers were peeling off but that isn't so bad now. Have been through about 10 lip balms already! But that's it really. Sometimes feel a little tired but that could also not be Accutane."


"The last day of ovulation I had unprotected sex with a young man that has 3 kids. He told me he came inside of me and for me to take a plan b he gave me the money for it 50.00 a hour after having sex I ran to the nearest rite aid to pick it up. They were all out so they gave me a generic brand FALLBACK solo it was one pill we were a little worried since it was off brand but it cost 46.99 so a little cheaper not much but I took it immediately and I was moody naseous and had a head ache but I'm not pregnant! Yes it worked got my period right on time heavy bleeding but no baby I'm so pleased. No prescription needed btw"


"I had Hep C for over 30 years. I never really felt bad. I noticed my hair was falling out, getting thinner and my skin looked horrible.
I began an 8 week regime of Harvoni the day after Thanksgiving. I was so hesitant in fear of side effects.
I got up early and took that first giant pill. I waited, waited and waited for some sort of "sick" feeling? It never came, never!!
Each day I took my daily pill. Day by day I began to have more energy, increased positive thoughts.
As the last couple of weeks rolled around, my skin and hair had both taken on a new healthy youthful look.
My skin looks amazing, it's moist and my hair is thicker than it's been on over 35 years. My nails grow so strong and long, I am a new person! "


"I've been on Reclipsen for a few years now. I loved it had no problems until the past 8 months. My PMS type symptoms grew increasingly worse and have started to severely affect my life. I feel crazy, mood swings changing within the same hour. Depressed and feeling like something is always off and wrong. Will be switching birth control next week."


"My mood swings were worse than before and I had no sex drive. My zits got worse and my breasts hurt all the time."


"I am in my twenties and am currently battling my second yeast infection. For my first one, I used the Monistat 1 ovule with great success. Immediate relief of symptoms, and full treatment overnight. So, when I got my second yeast infection I used the same treatment. Immediately after inserting the ovule and using the cream, I felt the irritation and itching begin to intensify. Less than 30 minutes later I was sitting in the bathtub bawling and feeling like I could pull my hair out. I'm typically very tolerant to pain and have never had any type of reaction to ANY kind of medication. Next time, I will DEFINITELY be calling my doctor for the oral pill. The pain is not worth the money you might save. Rated 5 because it DOES work, but it hurts."


"I am 78 and have experienced problems with open wounds (the usual kitchen accidents and one bang on my shin from the corner of my car door). My Doctor recommended Altabax to clean up the bacterial infections. The positive results were immediate and the sores healed within a week to ten days always showing improvement each day when the dressings were removed. Altabax was used up until a thin layer of tissue formed over the wound. I was told not to get it wet during the healing process, so waterproof coverings are essential. I was told by the physician it is better for slow healing so the wound can heal from the bottom up. Use it sparingly, a drop the size of this O will go a long way."


"After reading other reviews, I can't believe I haven't switched my birth control method. I have the same symptoms as follow (weight gain, so moody, I have never been so moody, increase vaginal discharge, constant headache, my fiance and I definitely feel the ring during intercourse). On the other hand, pros for the Nuvaring are (lighter and shorter periods, choosing when I start)."


"I LOVE OCELLA! I was on a generic form of Seasonale and it was HORRIBLE had the worst depression/mood swings ever and breakthrough bleeding EVERYDAY. So I switched to Ocella and love it. Acne hasn't really cleared up, and do have some weight gain but my eating habits aren't the best either so I wont blame it on that. I don't like that the price went up but I'm not going to switch because I feel so normal now and never want to experience anything like my first birth control. I definitely recommend Ocella!"


"I started out on 3-5-15 doctor prescribed the med but I didnt fill the script for another week. I started cutting my portions and quit drinking pop and eating anything that has a large amount of sugar cut out most of the bread and potato's. I then started taking Belviq had no side effects other than loose bowels for a day or so. Weighed in after 12 days "5 on belviq" and had lost 15 lbs. I have since lost anywhere from 2.5 to 7.5 lbs a week. Weighed in Monday 4-20-15 and have lost a total of 41.6 lbs. Close to a pound a day. Im not sure how much the meds have helped but I occasionally forget to take one in the evening and usually will notice I have more cravings 2 days later. Over all I am happy with the meds. I feel much better now."


"This response is for the person whose Doctor won't prescribe Ativan because it's an old drug. I went to a psychiatrist and that's the med he prescribed for me to help me sleep through the night. It had been 3 months since I'd slept more the 6 hours and usually it was 4 hours each night. Ambien got me to sleep but wouldn't keep me asleep. My PCP prescribed trazadone and that was horrific. She then prescribed doxepin and that sedated me but never put me to sleep. After 3 months of this my PCP said for me to go to a psychiatrist to hear my symptoms and prescribe the right med. he got it spot on. By the second night I was sleeping like a baby and able to naps during the if I felt sleepy. I have gotten myself back. I also take Zoloft."


"Mild to moderate persistent acne.  Male, 20s.

Get prescribed this drug.  Almost completely cleared up.  Dry skin is my only side effect.  First month takes some getting used to with bringing lotion/chapstick with you places.  First 3 weeks is kind of fun watching everything get pushed out of your skin.  I was hesitant after horror stories but you'd be wrong not to try it."


"It worked for me after about four days, which is all I could take.  It relieves my constant back muscle spasms, but it knocks you out!  It does make you feel very "on medication" in a very unpleasant sort of way. Difficult to perform everyday tasks such as driving."


"I have had this condition for thirty years. No one should have to live in that much pain for so many years. Doctor started me on Savella 14 days ago. I pray it keeps up the good work. Its about time. I would love to just take this medicine and vitiams. That would be great. I can get out of bed and walk. First time in 30 years. See its not in all our heads."


"I have had chronic pain for many years due to my occupation. I'm only 37 and I have 50% torn shoulders, arthritis and 3 herniated discs. I take a 4mg every day at around 3 pm and up to 2 more in the evening depending on the severity of pain that day. I have been on it for roughly 3 years now. I take the same doses and haven't had to up anything. It replaced 4 meds I used to have to take.
I have no side effects at all. This medicine allows me to run a successful business and my household.
I'd be lost without it.  Most pain killers make me sick to my stomach and cause severe headaches.
Not this one!"


"I have had major depressive Dissorder since I was 13 years of age. Had pretty much come to terms with the fact that this was going to be lifelong thing. Been to therapy, groups, and tried other meds like regular & generic Prozac, plus took Paxil for a little while. Prozac Weekly has been the ONLY thing that has made a huge difference for me other than being very careful about eating healthy. I forget to take daily meds so only taking it once a week is a bonus. The first time I took Prozac Weekly it took about 2-3 weeks to really "kick in" but once it did the difference was like night & day. Is this how normal people feel? You mean I can feel like this everyday? Not sure if it will be the same for you, just my positive experience. Good luck."


"While Cipro may clear up my UTI it triggered my seizure potential and lowered my seizure threshold. It also can interfere with seizure meds which isn't cool for me as it can cause seizures in people with previous head trauma too. Lastly, if also taken with NSAIDS like ibuprofen or aspirin it can raise risk. Use extreme caution if have history of seizures!!!!"


"I was diagnosed with bipolar type I in 2008.  I sort of knew that I was bipolar, and I also heard that lithium was a terrible drug (thanks to the teachings of a very misinformed individual).  I tried 3 mood stabilizers over the past 7 years.  Each of the mood stabilizers was an anti seizure med.  Finally, I had to go on lithium.  Within one week, I felt better than I had ever felt before.  I suffered from horrible irritability all this time.  My irritability is now gone. My own son said that I am lot nicer now. Hearing my son say that made this switch very worth while."


"I take this combined with my allergy med and it works great!"


"I've had Cronhs since 2006. In 2011 I was put on Pentasa. It works if you take it as prescribed. I do admit I don't take my medications like I'm supposed to, but it does work."


"prior to Liletta I had Depo for 1 year which caused minimal almost to nonexistent sex drive. My doc recommended Lilleta and Li agreed. With depo my periods were nonexistent and eating anxiety. So switching to IUD didnt make much of a difference as far as the periods but I dont have the eating anxiety and my sex drive is back on and poppin. I was scared at first reading all the different reviews and side effects. But definately cant complain."


"This medicine worked pretty well for me. I didn't realize how well it worked until I went off of it before getting pregnant. The thing I didn't like about it though was that it always made me feel like I was in a cloud. My thinking wasn't clear. I would get dizzy. I didn't notice too much of a weight gain, but there was some. In the end, I chose to try a different med (Savella) after my daughter was born and have been happier with that. Still works and fewer side effects."


"Levoxyl works great for me.  Synthroid does not work for me."


"I have been using Suboxone since Sept 2010. I had 21 years clean thru N.A. and A.A. due to an amphetamine addiction in my youth. Due to health problems (back injury) my doctor started me on hydrocodone, Xanax and Soma. One day I realized that my life was going nowhere. I could not function throughout the day without my medication. I seemed to be right back in my addiction. I since have started the Suboxone therapy and for me, it has been not only the means to get back on track without OPIATES, MUSCLE RELAXERS, and ANTI DEPRESSANTS. I personally believe not enough is said about the pain relief this medication brings, but also the anti depressant qualities the medication has as well. Take action."


"Had Skyla placed today, roughly around 5 hours ago. I am familiar to the IUD scene having had both Paraguard and Mirena in the past. (27 y/o w/2 kiddos). Anyway my MD used a local anesthetic  (scary as hell cuz I despise needles). Was not on my period at the time btw. I have to admit, it was quite a pinch, a little painful, but brief and tolerable. I have not had any problems with previous IUDs as well. I removed paraguard to have my 2nd child and then my Mirena was about to expire so I switched to Skyla. As of now, minimal bleeding, zero cramping, no problems or complaints here!! Dont believe all of the horror stories you hear, everyone is different and our bodies are not all going to react the same! Take a deep breath and good luck!"


"Zoloft is really good."


"I have had neuropathy for some time and tried a host of other medications before trying Lyrics. I was on it for slightly over 3 months with my dosage starting at 75 mg twice a day to 300 twice a day.  Initially the pain was approximately 7-8 and the Lyrics got it to about a 5 routinely with some days worse. However I suffered from some of the side effects stated by it's manufacturer including dizziness, being off-balance at times, problems with sleep and concentration, and weight gain.  (Approximately 20 pounds over 3 mos. and it's resulting effect on increasing my A1c.The) worst part was an increase in anger. After no subsiding of the side effects my Doctor suggested I cease using it. We are looking for alternatives."


"I am 55 years old and went through menapause 2 years ago. I have still got my uterus and after my yearly visit to my gynae he decided to put me on Angeliq for my hot flushes.  After taking them for 3 weeks and noticing absolutely no change, started a period which lasted for 9 days (haven't had a period in 2 years).  After the bleeding stopped I started with nausea and severe cramping.  Phoned the gynae's rooms and was told it's normal and to carry on with the pills but the cramping has got progressively worse so have stopped taking them.  I am petrified to try anything else!!!"


"My 16-year-old daughter was diagnosed with JIA - psoriatic - almost 2 years ago. She was started on celebrex, methotrexate and then Humira injections. She has changed from pens to syringes for comfort and convenience. My comment is that, since May 2017 she has been in an apparent constant flare-up. Her pain is constant in every joint! She has missed so much school over the last few months and it is now beginning to affect her mentally. We report to the rheumatologist every visit that she is in constant pain but it seems that 'nothing more can be done'. In the meantime, my daughter's social life is non-existent, her schooling is suffering and she is wary of being away from me (Mum) as nobody understands her pain and its affect. help"


"I got my mirena inserted in February 2013 and for the first month I bled lots and then that was it. Until September 2015 when I'd start to bleed during intercourse, it wasn't heavy but was enough to worry my partner and myself and its lessened our sex life due to not wanting to bleed everytime. I had a gynecologist observe my cervix in November and he said it wasn't damaged in any way, the mirena was still in place, and he gave me a prescription for a 10 day course of medication that will thicken my cervix lining, just to rule that out as the possible culprit. I haven't gotten the prescription filled yet as I've been busy and the bleeding settled down. Thinking of getting it removed and replaced with another contraceptive."


"Me and my husband have been trying to have a child together for a few years now and no success almost a year ago I found out that I have pcos and irregular periods so I am on clomid 50mg along with metformin 500mg my. And iron tabs because or low iron opgyn told me to take the clomid on days 3-7 I'm on day four of my cycle and day 2/7 on clomid sense I been taking it I have been experiencing bloating and bad cramps I'm on my period 4/5 and I feel like its from the clomid so maybe that means its doing its job my obgyn told me to have intercourse on day 12,14,16 and sooner then that if I wanted so I really hopes this works for us I'm hearing nothing but positive things about the medication and excited to find out"


"This drug has been a nightmare . I have experienced unexplained bone pain in lower left leg and a breakout of  bleeding gums and mouth sensitivity. I did not get any info from prescribing endodocrinologist except that it was a safe drug and that he had prescribed it to his mother!  This has been a very expensive lesson in terms of dental cost and extremely detrimental to my health and well- being."


"I had bad side effects. I got nexplanon April 12th 2017 and removed it September 1st, although the numbing shot kind of hurt the actual implant did not. It was sore for a couple days. Everyone is different but for me I started getting more ache, my mood was terrible. I felt angry all the time an almost violent. No period but had anxiety an depression worsen. I had depo b4 this an My libido was non existent, and intercourse hurt bad which in why I switched the nexplanon but those side effects didn't get any better either.."


"My doctor prescribed this because of severe dizziness that other medications did not help. It knocked it out within 3 days, so I am very pleased. One thing about it for me was I could not stay awake after I took it, knocked me right out."


"I started taking this medicine because my insurance wouldn't cover Ortho Tricyclen. This is only my second month, but I'm done - severe migraine throughout my period, tension headaches the rest of the time, and terrible over-bleeding, a problem I've never had with any other birth control."


"My mom took this medication and not long after she passed away. I think this medication played a good part. I wouldn't take it if I was any1 but hopefully it might work for you."


"I bought this product and inserted before bed. Instantly I had a very severe itch/burn resulting in me scraping it out. This did not help one bit. The pain is equivalent to satan lighting fire balls and dancing inside my vagina. I am currently have an ice pack to try to relieve some pain.  EVERYTHING DOWN THERE IS IN FLAMES. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU LOVE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS."


"This is my 2nd time having this happen. The 1st time was 7 years ago with Monistat 3 and I remember laying on my back in the tub crying trying to rinse the "hot lava" out of my vagina. Fast forward to now...I had a round of antibiotics for a cold and ended up with a yeast infection a week after. I got Monistat 7 because WalMart didn't have any better choices. My mistake. As it seeped out I could feel it burning almost as badly as the first time. This product is awful. They sell pills that cure yeast infections. Make the pills over the counter! For christs sake if this were a penis problem it would be of utmost importance!!!"


"I have schizoaffective and have been on this medicine almost 1 month.This medicine has really helped with voices (After about 2 weeks) and hallucinations.It has also helped my motivation and mood. I too have had to use my klonopin very infrequently while on Vraylar. I have tried almost all the antipsychotics and all have made me gain weight. This one I am actually losing about 1 pound a week with eating a healthy diet and exercising. I'm glad I continued to look for the right medicine because I have been without and I know how that ends up. It is really expensive but you can ask for samples then if it works for you, they do have a card that makes it 15.00 per month. Good luck."


"Amazing it works so well."


"Side effect, swollen ankles."


"I begged to be put on Suboxone because I had been on Lortab forever without any relief as I have severe neck and back injuries. This is a miracle drug! You could not pay me enough money to go back on Lortab or any drug of that category. I am so thankful for this medication, I have not experienced one bit of pain since I started this treatment."


"I have used Drixoral for years and it is the only one I really get relief from.  I am very upset it is not on the market."


"I've been on Yaz for years, and like most people I switched to Beyaz because of the saving card.  I've only been on it for a month. I have NOT stopped bleeding/spotting since I got my last period. I've tried different birth control over the years and I NEVER had this problem before. If this is the same as Yaz I don't understand why I'm having this issue.  I thought about trying it another month, but I'm not sure I can handle bleeding for 60 days if this continues."


"Without 5 mg. of Valium shortly before bedtime I awake in 20 minutes to two hours with an anxiety attack that keeps me up and yet unable to concentrate enough to read or even watch TV. With 5 mg. of Valium I sleep through the night! I've take it before bed for 10 years now. I've taken it  once in the daytime three or four times a year (before  a speech or flying) but otherwise have never gotten any kick out of it or craved it."


"I just started this a few days ago.  I'm an executive professional, rose in corporate ranks, made great money, and enjoyed a ridiculous life. After being way over-prescribed oxycodonne after a relatively minor injury in my mid 30's, fast forward 3yrs and my arrogance in thinking I could control this along with everything else made me blind to a growing addiction that was anything but controlled. I was able to keep my girlfriend, my kids, my job, and still provide them with a decent home. So, I consider myself very lucky to be on the verge of bankruptcy as many have lost much more. I say this to let anyone know who is considering Suboxone, but too ashamed or worried, to DO IT TODAY. It truly works."


"I was on the pill for years.  They made me emotional, killed my sex drive completely, and dried me out so sex was incredibly painful. I finally gave up on it and relied on condoms, but I wanted something more reliable.  Plus condoms are kind of a kill joy and, well, just aren't the same. The only thing left was ParaGard.  Yes, like many others, my periods started out horrendous, but eventually evened out over a year.  Cramps, expect to take some ibuprofen and then maybe some acetaminophen. But again, they lessened with time.  For me it was totally worth it.    I have an amazing sexual relationship with my husband.  Totally worth all the cramps and heavier periods.  For me I felt like it gave me my life back."


"Got the shot in December 2015 was fine until I was due for my period in January.
Spotting started and after sex it would get worst.
It kept going through the whole period and ovulation, till about a week ago when it stopped.
Today I'm due for my next period. Don't know if it'll started again or if I'm good or not.
I will not be continuing with the shot. I'm hoping I can find a good birth control pill instead."


"Changed my life too.  I lost weight and feel so much better.  My case was not severe but just enough to make me feel bad.  I was not more than 15 lbs more than I should have been.  Lost all of that easily plus I am able to work stronger and more efficiently (physically).  I am so glad my doctor figured this out."


"I had an open hemicolectomy a few months back, and they had me on this stuff for a week. I am resistant to a lot of pain meds, and pain was so bad when it ran out, I really appreciated it despite the disorientation and floaty feeling it gave me, I was sleeping as much as possible anyway. They gave me Tramodol when I got out of the hospital, and it was nowhere near as effective, even in a double dose."


"I used this medicine for about two months. I started out with very mild acne - a few pimples here and there, and I wanted something to help clear them up. I started using this gel and began breaking out worse than I ever have in my life - not just small pimples - large painful pimples that did not go away until I stopped using the medicine. "


"1 dose of Diflucan clears my yeast infection within 24 hours especially the itch. I have never had any issues. For bacterial vaginosis, My doctor prescribes flagyl 500mg bid for 7 days with 1 dose of diflucan & that does the trick."


"Had my first colonoscopy 5/30/17. I was having serious anxiety about doing this prep, after reading all the reviews. Most importantly, you want a tolerable effective clean out. I noted some advice from fellow preceding preppers, so here is my advice. Premedicate with anti nausea med 2 hours before each bottle (Phenergan 25 mg). Plug nose with wet paper towels to dull sense of taste prior to opening. Drink room temp, probably helps with body chills and nausea to do this. I drank it slow (over 30 minutes) a few drinks then suck on sugar coated lemon slice and spit, rinse mouth out with another beverage. Drink 16 oz. water per next 30 minutes x 2. No reason to chug, that makes you nauseated. I had no cramping, works in about an hour."


"I have been through two of these packs, and so far my body is very happy on this pill! I haven't had any experience with an initial breakout phase or breakthrough bleeding. I had some spotting initially, but my body seems to have synced up to this medication rather nicely! No change in sex drive or weird emotional mood swings! Love this BC!"


"On Victoza for 2 months now.  I am at 1.2 but can move up as tolerated to 1.8.  I have had no side effects and feel great.  Morning levels went from 130 to 80's.  Also I am taking extended release 500 mg of Metformin twice a day.  Lost 8-9 pounds --- nice but the blood sugar control is the great thing.  Will be back."


"It is great and all for giving you laser focus, however after the drug wears off from my system I notice that I get a little bit of a crash. I get depressive symptoms that's why I don't take it anymore."


"I have been HIV positive for 20 years, been through many harsh meds, this is not one of them. Need mostly for kidney issues and it did get my viral load undetectable for 3 months. It has slowly been going up, 20,40,50 over the last year. Not looking forward to a change as I have had no issues with genvoya."


"Fantastic controlled for the first time in my life"


"17 year almost 2 pack a day 32yr old smoker...miracle pill I quit on the 4th day!! No urge to smoke ever again. Be prepared to sleep alot!No vivid dreams for me.Thank You Chantix"


"Update: One month with Skyla! So far I have only bled one week out of the month, woohoo! Also my acne is a lot better, and my weight hasn't changed much tho, although I wish I didn't have an appetite so I could lose more weight! Went to the doctor today and he said everything was still in place and it was looking good! Now only yearly check ups from now on! Hoping for the best!"


"I was given this metal IV and have developed sytemic fibrosis.  I am disabled and now slowly and painfully dying.

It causes sceroderma and NSF.

refuse this at all costs!"


"Also wanted to add since I ran out of room on my last post that this medication has also caused me to have SEVERE hot flashes, I'm going through menopause but my hot flashes were not as bad until I started taking fetzima, after I went off of it for 3 months my hot flashes almost vanished, not as severe and not so many and now I've been back on fetzima again for 3 months and HELLO HOT FLASHES, this medication is the worst!!!!!!!!"


"I was given Diprivan at the start of a colonoscopy. It worked very quickly and I awoke to no side effects."


"I take it for high blood pressure and have NO side effects but it does lower my blood pressure"


"I have always had very mild asthma that would go into remission for years. Over the last year however, my asthma had worsened to the point where even stronger dose preventers didn't work effectively. I'd go to sleep clutching a Ventolin spray as I'd invariably have an asthma attack during the night. Every night. Often I would wheeze all day.

My asthma specialists suspected allergies were distabilising my asthma and added dymista to my preventer.

Within 24 hours I was a new person. I haven't used ventolin in 6 weeks nor had an asthma attack. On the downside the after taste is truly awful and lasts for hours and there is some minor taste sensation alteration but this is a small price to pay for breathing properly."


"Most effective anti-diarrhea med I've ever taken..after years of explosive, chronic diarrhea"


"Within 5 days the change in my skin was amazing.  No flaking, no scales.  The discoloration of my skin was minimal compared to what it was.  No adverse effects for me.  I have been on it for 5 weeks and now I do not use it daily.  I moisturize daily when I get out of the shower, and I use the gel about every 4 days.  Cup your elbow in your hand and that is how large my area was.  It still is, but is now soft and lightly pink.  I am going to a tanning booth to see if that helps as well."


"I genuinely believe that the women describing this experience as painful beyond comprehension are either experiencing an allergic reaction to the medication or using it improperly. This is my first time using Monistat 3 cream. I decided to use it during the day despite instructions to use at bedtime. I inserted the product around 1 pm and went about my day, vacuuming, putting up the Christmas tree, making lunch, paying bills, etc. I checked my pantyliner regularly to ensure I wasn't losing product. Everything felt normal. Several hours in I felt a very subtle warm, tingling sensation. It never amounted to anything. After making dinner around 7 pm I used the bathroom and some product was on the liner, the rest went into the toilet. No pain."


"Luvox is an amazing medication for me. I couldn't think my own thoughts, all I had were racing, intrusive and obsessive thoughts. My compulsions were out of control too due to inability to control my thoughts. I was off of the med for 3 years and was in a bad way, constant suicidal ideations.  I felt like myself again after the first dose, I can control unwanted thoughts and think of things I want or need to and can solve issues.  I can usually control my compulsions now.  I couldn't socialize either and now I can. 100 mg at night with 15 mg of Buspar. I am so grateful for this medication!"


"My doctor put me on doxepin 3 months ago. Very skeptical at first thinking how would an antidepressant help me sleep. IT REALLY DOES WORK. It's amazing, and only side effect I've had is craving sweets....bad! I'm sleeping now though."


"Hello again! I provided a quick summary of my experience with the pill two weeks in below and wanted to give an update...So, the good news- my boobs are bigger and the acne around my chin area has subsided. Bad news, I've gained weight and I'm always bloated. I've always had a flat stomach, but ever since I started taking the pill I'm 24/7 bloated. All hell broke loose this weekend when I literally thought I was being possessed by the devil. I started bleeding heavily and the cramping was relentless and unbearable. After a night out, I came home and was overwhelmed with depression and anxiety. I was hypersensitive to every sound and I cried for 3 hours for god knows what reason. I'm hesitant to start this new pack after that hellish episode"


"Backed up a couple weeks, the Miralax wasn't cutting it. Dr. instructed probiotic daily and this to get it moving again. Said it was kind-of like 7-up. To me, it was more super-sour-citrus Italian soda, and wasn't so bad. When I've been constipated for shorter periods it'll often come out large, which my home toilet can't handle. "


"I've been taking Benicar 20mg/12.5 HCT for about 7 years and it works great. It keeps my blood pressure down to 120-125/75-80.  I do experience dizziness and light-headiness frequently but I sit at a desk most of the day at work so it's no big deal. I also cannot stay out in the sun long at all. I don't know if this is a side effect of Benicar but also 2 years ago I started getting vision "Floaters" and had to change to another prescription twice. I'm only 43 and my vision is no longer 20/20 and can only get 20/40 with corrective lenses. Eye doctor doesn't see anything wrong and says 20/40 is okay. I'll get a 2nd opinion just in case. Also I started getting flushing or "red face and neck" about 3 years ago. It comes and goes. Benicar is the only medicine I use."


"I've taken Ampyra for seven months.  I went from wheel chair to walker to cane in two months.  Now I only use the cane when going out.  It has done wonderful things for me."


"I finally was brave enough to start this medication for bad anxiety, panic attacks.  I have become limited on where I go.  Finally so exhausted from pushing myself  just to go to the grocery store......I gave in and took 10mg Saturday night.  Took just half of a .25 mg xanax with it.  Just in case of side effects.  Surprisingly nothing bad has happened yet.  I know it will take time for then to take effect.  And hoping they will soon help. Tonight will be my 4th pill.  I will keep you posted. Wish me luck
"


"This drug worked at preventing pregnancy. So it does get some stars for that. It's my 3rd month on it and every single month I had break through bleeding that begin about the second week. I thought it was spotting at first, but then it was heavier and lasted until my actual period started with the sugar pills. I would also get bloated and bad cramps beginning about the 2 week of the pill pack. No weight gain happened, and my sex drive stayed the same. But I was also very moody!!! Things that would normally make me just upset for a day would now bring me to tears and upset me for weeks. And my acne got worse, I would normally get pimples around the time of my period, but now I always have 3 or more pimples at a time that would scar."


"This is awful, the burning is terrible! !"


"Side effects for the first few months.  Two unusually heavy periods and stretch marks on breasts.  After that though, everything settled down to where now, I don't even have periods.  I've told my doctor and they said that was normal and fine.  I've taken it for about three years now and haven't had any issues!  The price tag is a bit much, but I find it worth it!"


"I'm taking Generic Fioricet for more than 10 years now. It started when I was in college"


"I have BPD II, PTSD & anxiety with agoraphobia. I've tried a LOT of different meds & gone unmedicated as well, probably over the last 15 years or so. Right now, I'm on Lithium 900mg. Just stopped Gabapentin 900-1200mg. On Desvenlafaxine 100mg (start, 50mg) about 1 year - Since I started, I've been lifted out of a suicidal & debilitating depression. Take into consideration lithium, my moods are more levelled out and I don't feel like crying at the drop of a hat. I don't feel completely hopeless. However, I do feel unnecessarily agitated, sleep issues - too much or insomnia, low energy, incessant nausea. I've also gained an incredible amount of weight, without appetite. DNA test "Green-lit" Pristiqu... Going to see Dr. today."


"Six weeks since first injections in both knees. Have arthritis and tore the meniscus in both knees last Fall. Right knee is 90% bone on bone. First shots did not hurt. Second shots wow! How I got through it baffles me. Third shot, no pain just uncomfortable. I'm 47. Noticed a difference after first week; now we are 5 weeks out, right knee is stiff again and am having pain and problems walking. Left knee is hurting but nothing like before the shots. Am hoping insurance will authorize TKR for the right one. Am basically unable to do anything pain free."


"My symptoms, including persistent nagging cough, resolved within four (4) weeks of beginning this medicine.  However, after being symptom free for almost 3-6 months, my symptoms returned.  I am now taking double the dose, but have yet to experience the resolution I had initially."


"Changed my life."


"It saved my life.  It was the perfect medicine for me, except for chronic constipation.  Went to the hospital for the constipation (I did not know it was caused by Zoloft at the time), and they found I had appendicitis, which ruptured while I was waiting at the hospital, and also that I had kidney cancer, so got 2 surgeries, 1 for the ruptured appendicitis and 1 to take away my left kidney.  Had it not been for the Zoloft, I would be dead.  I of course had to change medicines and go the second choice prescribed by the psychiatrist.  It works, but not as well as the Zoloft, unfortunately.  Zoloft is excellent, and if it was not for chronic constipation, I'd be back on it.  Good luck all."


"Been on Vyvanse for 3 years, Adderral XL, & Adderral for another 3 years with limited success. I take a lot of other medications for mania & am always tired in addition to lacking focus...for the first time in years I can watch a movie, read a book, make it through multitasking a workday. Maybe this is what normal is meant to feel like--a world without yawns and easy distractions?  Have I truly found a way to make it through a two hour movie? I think a new chapter in my life just opened..."


"Took Plan B the following morning after (about 10 hours). The following day the nausea kicked in, and also experienced some bloating. Five days after taking it I had reddish/brownish bleeding. 28 days after that my period came (a week later than usual). Cramping was more painful, but I'll take it. While I was waiting for my period to come I was stressing out and taking at home pregnancy tests (which were all negative). Took a final one to be 101% sure after my period came and it was also negative. So relax, this does indeed work."


"I have been suffering with vaginal discharge and yeast infection on and off for approximate 15 years.  I used Monistat to no avail.  My doctor told me to try Vagistat and two days later, I feel great! I honestly would recommend this product to anyone suffering.  At last I can honestly say I feel some relief.  Thanks Vagistat"


"I have suffered from severe migraines since I was about 13 years old and have tried every over the counter and prescribed medicine under the sun. NOTHING has worked like Treximet! This is truly a miracle. Within 30 minutes of taking it my headache was completely gone and no rebound headache! The only side effect I had was that I was very tired for about 5-6 hours after that. It is very expensive but it is so worth the money."


"Cipro is a Fluoroqunilone. The FDA has issued a Black Box Warning -- the most severe warning it can issue -- on all Fluoroquinolone antibiotics because they cause so many horrible, longterm side effects (like permanent tendonitis on multiple parts of the body) that may take years to come to light."


"Felt sick when I started taking it plus tired but got used to it. Has really helped my muscles."


"My daughter started monthly Orencia infusions for her Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis about 3 years after being diagnosed. She had been previously taking Enbrel and Methotrexate injections weekly for 3 years. Her arthritis became more aggressive so her Rheumatologist started her on Orencia. (Continuing the Methotrexate injections). She got used to the infusion part rather quickly. She had no side effects at all, and the only problem we had was the occasional blown vein. Unfortunately, the medication did not prove to be effective for her. After 8 months of constant flare ups, oral steroids and steroid injections, we decided to change the medications again. There are however 2 other children we know that the Orencia is helping prevent flare ups."


"I am 21 years old and was on cyclen for 3 months when I was diagnosed with blood clots in my lungs (pulmonary embolism) I have since been informed that this birth control put me at a greater risk due to its higher levels of estrogen. Luckily they were caught and time and I am currently being treated for them. My symptoms started out as a aching/stabbing pain in my mid/upper back that was worse when I ate, then a few days later my breathing started to feel rather heavy. I was also coughing and burping a bit. I also had a bunch of other side effects during the course of taking this pill including: breast pain, headaches, nausea and major mood swings!! I don't normally right reviews but I would feel horrible if this happened to anyone else!!"


"It used to take me a good 3-4 hours to fall asleep at night, now it takes me around 20-30 minutes. I feel much more energised during the day and actually enjoy sleeping again. It has also helped decrease the amount of nightmares I used to have."


"I have had hypothyroidism for 20 years. Levoxyl never worked. "


"This medication is pretty expensive but I believe it has helped shorten the duration of the flu.  I started with symptoms on Sunday, tested positive with the flu on Monday and started Tamiflu that evening.  Today is Wednesday and I feel a lot better - no fever either.  I have experienced some nasty bathroom-related side effects but I'll take that over high fever, blistering headache, etc."


"I have tried many acne medications, but this is the only one that consistently worked for me. I took it for a few weeks, and I don't even have to use it anymore. My face is acne free. I didn't feel any side effects."


"I was taking 50mg 2x a day for my fibromyalgia pain. It was working well for my pain but now I'm having side effects. I get a headache and nausea after I take the medicine. I also suffer from chronic migraine headaches so this is very bad to have a medicine adding to my headache problems. I'm so frustrated. Without this medicine I ache so bad I get a headache and I'm miserable but with it I have a migraine. I've probably been on Savella for 3 months now. I've had to cut back to 25mg 1x daily and take Lyrica at night. I will say too that I still had bad shoulder tension while on the medicine, but the rest of my fibromyalgia pain was gone. I was getting my life back."


"I have been on Suboxone for 5 days now!  I have yet to crave a Norco. I was taking 12-15 a day for the last 2yrs. I had major back surgery.  I have no complaints as of yet!"


"BEWARE THE DEVIL PILL!!
The utmost worst experience of my life on Yasmin. The first month was ok..... continued to take it, up until the third month I started to see the side effects creeping through. My hair was falling out and I began to get very thin lining on the top of my scalp which is horrible!!! And looks horrible too. My anxiety  was at its worst I gained at least 10 kilos within four months of being on this pill and was recommended by my doctor to take it as it is one that most likely you wouldn't gain weight on I guess all bodies are different. However... The 5/6th month of being on this pill was the worst time of my life.... my depression was so high and strong and I felt as though I could not function at all! Don't recommend it"


"Horrible experience. Major depression. Strange odors. Ups and downs and crazy periods. All went away immediatedly upon removal. I hated this BC."


"I always read reviews as I am always paranoid every time I take plan b. I've taken it probably too much but for good reason. I don't do well with birth control pills and am not always in a relationship. Since 2009, this pill has been effective for me. I weigh more than the recommended weight and have had sex during my fertile days. While I'm not a medical professional, I do take a lot of vitamin c and parsley to get my period early to ease my stress. It works...relax."


"Been using it for 2 weeks and at this point skin is the worst it's ever been. Hopefully it gets better :/"


"I started taking Valtrex within 24 hours of a small rash appearing.  The rash continued to get somewhat larger but then stopped (within 3 days). It never developed any further. I just finished the 7 day prescription.  No leakage, no pain, just a slight itch and the rash is fading.  It appears that the sooner you start treatment, the faster it clears up. Thanks"


"I started having anxiety and the fear from that (worrying if I was having a heart attack) lead to straight up panic attacks. My DR. gave me to Celexa (20 mg) and after a few days I felt so much better, I didn't have to take my Xanax anymore, maybe 1 a week. It was great and after 2 months I came off.  But about 7 months later my anxiety came back. So I gave Celexa another try, and at (20 mg) for 11 days, I felt in a fog, really tired and still had the anxiety. So after reading tons of posts, I lowered to 10 mg and I felt great!"


"I have been experiencing severe nausea and vomiting due to my long-term medications. So far, dimenhydrinate combined with ginger tea (ginger root soaked in hot water) has had the best results. I'm finally able to eat some food again."


"Started 10 mg Citalopram 8 days ago and although they said it would take 2 weeks to really work I started to feel better the first day! Minor nausea the first couple times I took it but it went away quick. This stuff has changed my life. Helped me quit smoking. It's so strange being able to walk around and interact in public without anxiety. Improved my sleep overall however you will probably want to make sure you are active during the day because it takes a little more time to fall asleep. Wonderful Medication, wish I started it much sooner."


"I got pregnant when I took it 2 days after"


"I am taking Wellbutrin for ADHD and mild depression. I started on 150 MG XL for 3-weeks and increased to 300 MG XL because I didn't think it was working as well as it could. Initially, I did experience side effects, including headaches and nausea. I also experienced agitation and irritability initially on the 300 MG XL. However, by the following week I felt even better than I did on the 150 MG XL and it lasts all day! It is important to find the right dose for you. Some people do better on less, some more, some on sustained release, some on extended release. I feel like I have the focus, energy, and motivation that will be life changing. Advise: tough out the side effects, they will go away and it will be worth it."


"Before I was prescribed xanax I weighed 90 pounds, bags under my eyes, couldn't get out of bed, had no appetite, dehydrated, couldn't leave the house, or even speak to anyone. I have SEVERE anxiety and depression & also suffer from PTSD.... thoughts on suicide were everyday and I had to be basically babysat 24-7 to make sure I didn't do anything stupid.

I don't understand why everyone talks about the negative effects of this pill when people like ME actually need it to function and live a happy lifestyle. Since taking it, I've gained healthy weight, no longer throw up from anxiety, i have friends now, and do activities i never thought i would without having panic attacks. Its a great feeling to be able to live again. Thank you XANAX"


"I've taken this medication for about two years. Everything about it is wonderful, except the cramps I get right before my period are so intense. I wake up in the middle of the night throwing up from the pain. I've never been through or experienced anything like it and contemplate going to the ER every time it happens. It's like one intense cramp that won't let go for 30 minutes or so and typically leaves me in tears.

I've asked my doctor about it and he says it's normal, but after going through this every period, enough is finally enough. I'm going to ask to switched back to a typical 1 month dosage.

Otherwise, it's been wonderful only having a period every 3 months with little side effects!"


"Have bronchitis after living with a severe cough for 3-4 weeks... went to urgent care because I was unable to get in the same day to my own doctor. I was giving Benzonatate @ 200 mg.,  3 times a day. Along with cheratussin ac 10mg at bedtime... It's been over 24 hours and not seeing much improvement. This will be my second night and I am guessing I will have another poor night of sleep. I was hoping for a quicker result. Family members are telling me I sound just awful.. not working for me."


"Before taking Trazodone I could not fall asleep at night, I began resorting to drinking just to fall asleep at night and that alone has it's fair share of negative consequences. Literally the first night I took a 50mg Trazodone I was able to fall asleep and stay asleep. I've been on the medication for nearly a month now and I can happily say that I can't remember the last time I've felt this great! I don't feel the need to drink whatsoever. I fall asleep within 30 minutes of taking the tablet, I stay asleep, and I wake up well rested with a much more positive outlook on life! I can't wait to see what the future holds. I strongly recommend this medication for anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, and/or sleep deprivation."


"Been taking the 10mg until it got discontinued and now have the 5mg. I take a whole mg with a half 5mg and this works perfectly for me.  I haven't had any weird side effects and have been on this med for 12 years.  I take it on a totally empty stomach and after about 15 minutes I have a snack before bed if I happened to have missed dinner, After snack, off to bed.  Ambien is my best friend. I am in my late 60's."


"Omg! My vag is dying!!! This med burns so bad and itches like crazy. My vulva is swollen and there's no relief. I woke up out of a dead sleep on fire. I'll NEVER use this product again. EVER!!!!!!"


"Worked wonders at the start.  Was up to 600mg a day.  I don't eat the best  but I do think this did make me gain weight.  I live in the great white north but I struggled with balance, fell often, and also had trouble putting my thoughts into words.  These side effects are now gone now that I'm off this.

Balance and communication much better now that I'm off."


"only few words please check your TB TEST FOR MORE THAN TWO OR THREE TIMES SPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ALREADY ON MEDS LIKE PREDNISONE AND IMURAN ....DONT PUT YOUR LIFE ON RISK ..........I AM SUFFERING A LOT BECAUSE OF THE USE OF THIS MEDICINE.....REMICADE....MY PERSONAL SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL LIFE IS DESTROYED ......SORRY IF I AM GETTING EMOTIONAL ......IT IS TRUE WHATEVER HAPPENED WITH ME .........I WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE NEVER USED THIS MEDICINE......."


"Since being diagnosed with Epilepsy I was put on pills to prevent seizures which did not help until I was also put on Loestrin 24 Fe. So far no seizures. I believe its related to a hormonal imbalance and the Birth Control definitely helps. I have not had any bad symptoms at all. No nausea, no mood swings. I have tried every single Birth Control I could think of and this is the only one I like by far. I plan to stay on it for another 6-12 months and try for baby #3."


"DO NOT USE. I had a pretty bad yeast infection so my OBGYN prescribed me this. It gave me horrible cramps and then a UTI!!! 100 times worse than the feeling of the YI. I read lots of reviews like this but used the medicine anyways. Do not be like me!! Read this and heed my warning! This shouldn't be prescribed to anyone. This was not an allergic reaction. It feels horrible and I would take 100 yeast infections over this feeling now. Avoid  this medication at all costs"


"Got pescribed this while in the hospital for mental health and substance abuse issues. Non habit forming, which is great, but I feel wicked groggy and out of it in the morning. I break the pill in half so I'm not as out of it when I wake up.
The doctors advised me of prolonged erections in the morning. They were right."


"It was fine for a year, but then made my condition much much worse to the point that I lost everything I ever loved. Please research this med before taking. It is not intended to be used for more than three weeks in a row."


"I have been taking victoza since April 2017, I been having a lot of nausea and diarrhea, I also have a host of other illness, like gastroparisis, I have had that problem before I started taking victoza, dr. Said that gastroparisis is a side effect from being a diabetic , so I will continue to take my victoza cause my a1c is way better not eating a lot and cause my goal is to lose weight, so I deal with the side effects, good luck to all that can hang in there with it."


"Had a Colonoscopy on a Tuesday. No issues with the Propofol, and no burning or pain at all. Was out like a light, after just a few seconds, before the procedure. Woke up just fine. After two days was able to drive, but still not feeling 100%.

By Sun, still quite tired, sleep ea night is very deep, and if I take a nap, it has been extremely difficult to get up. I sometimes feel a bit of a fog, or "not all there."

I thought by now the stuff would have cleared from my system, but it hasn't.

BTW, I don't drink coffee or and other drinks with stimulants.

Hoping the stuff will clear out of my system soon, so I can feel normal once again.

Propofol works fine for most people, but everyone is different, so there will be differing side effects."


"For RLS seems to work great. However, concerned about possible side effects i.e... tongue constantly swabs inside of my mouth, mole growth around my neck and most of all, tea total lack of energy. Are these caused by the drug? I don't know but it is a concern."


"I found this pill to be amazing. It does the job. I recommend it to everyone."


"This is my first medication for HIV.  Though I have always had a strong immune system (CDA >700, Viral Load < 200, at worst), my N.P recommended that I should start a regimen, and the only requirement I had for her is that its a once-a-day pill.  As a busy college student trying to complete his first degree, the last thing I want to be prisoner to is my HIV.  I have noticed absolutely no change in my body other than I am happier than I have ever been since being infected.  But I have always used a pill case (though I am only 20 yrs old) for fish oil and multivitamins (Dietetics Major). So, I had no concern about adding just one more pill in there.  Guess the hardest thing is getting a 500 kcal meal in my busy mornings.  Keep strong!"


"150mg Wellbutrin seemed to have stopped working for me.(I couldn't deal with the side effects of 300mg) I was fatigued and never wanted to do anything. I also had a lot of body aches and pains. I was given brintellix and noticed a significant positive difference within the first month. I had more energy and found myself getting up and doing normal daily activities that I had stopped. I was weened off Wellbutrin and am finding myself uninterested again. I feel I have to push myself to do anything. I am going to start taking Wellbutrin again along with the brintellix. So far, I am amazed at the difference 10mg brintellix has made when taken along with just 75mg of Wellbutrin."


"Dear Lord oh the itch and the burn!!! So glad I found these reviews. Knowing others had similar experiences is helping me stay sane as I wait out the pain in my lady parts. I inserted the creme with no issue but woke in the middle of the night about an hour later to the worst burn and itch down there. It literally took my breath away. It's been about an hour and it's finally died down enough that I might be able to go back to sleep. The ovule suppositories never burned like this. I will never buy the cream again!!!! Stay far away unless you are a glutton for punishment :("


"So this drug stopped my period and the deep depressive dives from my PMDD, but *good God the anxiety*. I've never suffered an anxiety attack in my life until I started this stuff, and now I've had at least six in the last three months.

The nausea's no fun, either, and the spotting doesn't let up until you stop for a few days and let it run its course (not an issue for me as an as a contraceptive, but for sexually active folks that's a real problem). Passing tissue along with clots was alarming (triggered one of the attacks, actually), though it only happened once.

I've cancelled the prescription-- I'll take once-monthly PMDD over hair-trigger panic attacks, nausea, bleeding, and misery any day."


"My experience with lexapro has been a very rocky one, to say the least. The beginning symptoms for me were terrible, extreme nausea and vomiting, restless leg syndrome, jaw clenching, and vivid nightmares. After the first day, the nausea and vomiting was gone, and after two weeks my symptoms were manageable. I felt like this medication really helped me with my depression in some ways. I was much more motivated, more sociable, and it helped my anger issues. However, I decided after six months I would like to stop to see if my depression was better. Bad choice. I hurt all over my body so bad, I felt like I was coming down with the flu. I was so dizzy and disoriented I couldn't even function in my daily life. It was a nightmare."


"I have been on sertralin 50mg for one week no side effects....today I feel a bit anxious and down but have started 100mg today feel a bit fed up as the first week I noticed a big improvement hoping it's just an off day really wanted them to work x"


"I took this birth control pill for about three months. I have been fortunate to never experience intense sadness or depressive feelings since I was born, discounting family/friend deaths or illnesses. After starting the pill I noticed a change in my attitude and mindset. I used to wake up extremely happy and stay happy throughout the day, but the pill caused me to become sad. Depression became a major factor of my everyday life on the pill and suicidal ideations soon followed during the third month. I felt crazy on the pill and I became really insecure. The only other side effect besides depression was breast tenderness. It was effective in preventing pregnancy and I did not get migraines or spotting."


"One month and a half on it. After 6 shots (1,5mg) now I'm ok. But I had almost all the horrible side effects described here. Nauseas, extreme diarrhea, sulfur burping, acid reflux, heartburn and extreme bowel movement and horrible flatulence. It was a hell of a month. Had to be near a bathroom all the time, mainly after dinner at night when symptoms got worse for me. But it seems it got stabilized now.
My appetite is well controlled now. Eating a lot less now. No more cravings for sugar. No more night attacks on the fridge. Lost about 8 lbs in the first month, which for me is good enough.
My blood sugar levels was ranging from 150 to 170 even on metformin XR, now it's always down to 100 or less. I'm also taking XigDuo 10/1000mg once a day"


"I have had absolutely no side effects while on this medication. My anxiety is obviously not "cured" but the symptoms are much more manageable and they occur less frequently . My life has SIGNIFICANTLY improved since beginning Celexa. Not only do I feel less anxious most of the time, but my social skills have improved. I'm not afraid to talk to people as much anymore. I know some people believe that antidepressants change who you are, but that is not true. If they do, that is not the drug for you. The right antidepressant is suppose to allow you to be who you are without (as much) anxiety. **IMPORTANT: You do have to be on the look out for drug interactions. There are many antibiotics you shouldn't take while taking Celexa including Cipro.**"


"I started Epiduo Forte in February and it wasn't completely effective until May. The first month was pretty rough. My skin first "purged" and I had a lot more breakouts than usual, but my dermatologist warned me this would happen. After that purge, my skin became extremely dry and when I applied Epiduo Forte it would burn extremely bad. I put vaseline around my eyes before applying the cream because that is where it burned the most. Cerave lotion was a lifesaver while using Epiduo Forte! Use it and the dryness almost completely goes away! After 3 months of use, it didn't burn or dry out my skin at all. I now experience almost no pimples and my skin is more firm and healthy than ever. I recommend trying Epiduo Forte for yourself!"


"Most helpful treatment for ibs with constipation ever. I was on zelnorm before which was recalled due to safety. I promised myself to never take rx for chronic issues and try to manage them as much as I can with natural, safe treatments as much as possible. I tell everyone about magnesium, wish doctors would know about it."


"Took it for 2 day bowel prep 3 weeks ago and along with everything else I was taking it worked. Initial BM was very difficult and painful.  Took 2 pills yesterday at about 2:00 pm for constipation.  Woke up at 4:00 am sick and vomited several times with terrible pain. Sweating, shivering and husband found me on the floor of the bathroom at 6:00 am.  It took another hour of the worst pain, cramps and vomiting before I finally went. Then the spigots were open and had explosive, painful diarrhea several more times - sometimes vomiting along with it but always the terrible pains. It is now over 24 hours since I took the 2 tabs and still cramping every 1/2 hr w/some liquid diarrhea. Just trying to keep hydrated. Almost thought about going to ER!!!!!"


"I have been on this dosage since 1/09 due to 2nd and 3rd degree burns to my scalp and ears. I take 2 pills 3x per day. It has been a God send! The only side effect I have noticed is pain intensifies for about 15 minutes after I take it, then it subsides. Thank goodness I have a great Doctor who is not afraid to prescribe opioids. She realizes I need it, not want it. I now feel like doing more than laying on the couch curled up in agony."


"I  was so scared to go on this pill or any pill for that matter! Read terrible reviews. Did so much research and they all seemed like a bad choice. Decided this seemed like the best bet. Been on it 17 days and I love it. No weight gain, no acne, no hormonal mood swings. My only complaint is I am on day 8 of my period, (when I wasnt on the pill my period was 8 days long too) I thought this would make it shorter. I am hoping today is the last day, if it continues for longer, I will update my review. But so far,so good! I actually lost some weight taking this pill! Happy girl here."


"After 9 months on Sotolol, I was still having Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Switched to Rhythmol 225mg for 3 months and had occasional AF, but at 325 mg, I've only had one AF episode in 6 months.  It's a blessing to lie down and go to sleep without the fear of AF starting up."


"I used to live with severe panic attacks and overall always full of anxiety.This medication works so well that I feel very normal again.The nightmares, shaking, nausea, panicking, sweaty and restless feeling and anxiety all stopped.I highly recommend this medication for people who genuinely need a Benzodiazapene to regulate the central nervous system.Make sure you don't abruptly stop taking them though as you will feel extremely ill! Do keep your DR. informed of any side effects.They are pretty mild, however can cause weight gain and lower sex drive."


"I tried taking Celexa for 1 month. The main reason for choosing this medicine over others was the cost - very affordable.  However, I was taking it for sadness, fatigue, irritability and anxiety and Celexa only made me more tired.  It did work well for the stress and anxiety, but I slept a lot.  I often fell asleep when I didn't want to.  I am now trying another medicine that does not make me sleep, but it is very expensive and does not knock out the nerves and stress like Celexa does."


"Took for two days, slept a lot in and out. Felt like a zombie, lost memory, couldn't function normally. Called the Dr. after two doses , he suggested cutting the pill in half , will try soon , afraid to start again, I didn't like the effect at all , but I will try soon again. Lets hope I can tolerate better this time . I will resume tonight, praying this works. I wouldn't suggest driving at all."


"It worked for the first 6 months, but now I can't stay awake or do anything productive, and if I miss a dose I get brain shocks and debilitating migraines, so I'm weaning off it with help from the doc"


"This is the best to knock a panic attack flat on its arse. I been taking 0.5mg daily for 6 months and I also take them when I fly. I could literally walk on the wing and not care. Don't take with alcohol though..I made the mistake of popping one of these  then drank 4 or 5 martinis. I made a fool of myself and swung from a coworkers chandelier at a party and pulled it out of the ceiling. Everyone was cheering me on so I felt like a bru. The more I drank the stupider I became. At the end of the night I climbed a street pole and tried to punch out the light telling people it was a UFO. They work well, but do not drink on them"


"Atralin has been fine and has cleared up my acne and made my skin clearer and smoother. I am 38.  But one thing I noticed, since using the product is that if I do get an occasional breakout, it is hard to heal, scabs a lot and then leaves a small pockmark when healed."


"I started Zoloft 13 days ago. I have terrible anxiety and panic disorder. My anxiety was getting so bad that I could no longer go to work, be around friends, or even my boyfriend. I'd have at least 1-4 panic attacks a day. I have always been terrified of being on medicine because I have a fear of feeling high or feeling a little off (which sends me into a full blown panic attack) Up until yesterday, I felt heightened anxiety after starting the pills (25mg for the first week, 50mg by week two), extremely exhausted, my sleep patterns have been totally off...BUT yesterday, I felt good. I didn't have a panic attack all day. And today, I got into a situation that made me start to feel an attack coming on and I was able to rationalize and stop it"


"I took the Plan B OneStep within 30 minutes of the condom slipping off inside me. I spent the next 10 days in total panic & fear. I was a few days away from my projected period, but since I stopped birth control pills a month and half ago I wasn't 100% certain. My cervix was low and hard, so I definitely wasn't near ovulation. I read every review, every forum, every Q/A I could find since I've

never taken Plan B. I had no side effects nor pregnancy symptoms. I took sleeping pills every night to guarantee I could at least function during the day time. Those were the longest, most stressful 10 days of my entire life. I was so distressed; I started looking into RU486. Day 11, my period showed up and I wanted to scream it on the mountaintop!"


"Chantix relieved the need to smoke after 45 years of smoking. As a nurse, I knew the risks of smoking but could not stop until my doctor suggested Chantix. Two weeks after starting Chantix, I was a non smoker. It's great."


"Before taking flagyl,  make sure to review all possible negative interactions it might have with other medications you're taking. My recent battle with flagyl occurred after I was diagnosed with diverticulitis. It just happened to coincide with my decision to start taking Tagamet for my acid reflux. Little did I know that Tagamet, a fine drug by itself, should not be taken along with flagyl. Soon after my regimen of flagyl and cipro started, I began experiencing a horrible metallic taste that permeated my entire system. My skin became hot and sensitive. I was nauseous. Bad headaches. Dizziness. Stiff neck. Insomnia. Tagamet, a pharmacist told me, was preventing the release of flagyl from my system, compounding its negative effects."


"I am using the ketaconazole 2% shampoo, my doctor prescribed it for my hair loss and dandruff so far my hair loss has increased, and the dandruff is gone. Now I'm worried about losing all of my hair."


"Have used this for one week but began to have serious side-effects including hives all over my back, severe diarrhea, terrible cold/flu, headache, joint soreness.  I do have an autoimmune disorder (endometriosis and Raynaund's) and the medication has warnings for people with autoimmune disorders so that may be why I am having such an adverse reaction.  Will see doctor tomorrow to learn if I should switch to Efudex maybe but will probably look into the genetic testing for DPD before I start that one."


"I have Fibromyalgia and OsteoArthritis my Dr. recommended Opana and it has been a God send."


"I used to be on SR then was switched to immediate release which made such a difference, now I'm stuck back on SR, they aren't effective at all, it bothers my stomach and now I feel depressed and wondering how I'm going to get thru work"


"Started a 90 day prescription right after I had my daughter and it was horrible. Gave me anxiety and terrible panic attacks. I had to hop in a cold shower once. I felt as if I was gonna have a heart attack or my chest explode. Just got prescribed wellbutrin hoping to have better luck."


"I was on this birth control for 6 months and I have nothing negative to say about it. I didn't have a period the entire time I was on it. I didn't deal with any of the side effects. Although, I did experience hair loss. Which isn't a problem to me because it grows back."


"Now that I being told by my primary care Dr. And an ENT that this drug I have taken for three years is the cause of breathing difficulty, a chronic cough, hoarseness, and extreme fatigue, I should be relieved but I am really angry.  I've been told my symptoms were those of a panic attack twice. I have had numerous tests, prescriptions from several different doctors with no relief only to find out that I have diabetes II and should never have been put on Micardis HCT to begin with. Trouble with sleeping was caused by severe sleep apnea...
I could go on and on, but the cough and hoarseness is still a big problem.

How long will these symptoms continue?"
