"I'm blown away and I'm only at the end of my first week. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I feel amazing! Like I was meant to always feel. I've suffered with severe depression and anxiety most of my life tried many medications nothing worked and up until today I thought Pristiq wasn't for me the first few days were hell. My anxiety shot through the roof had the runs and racing pulse up until I fell asleep last night. Woke up this morning feeling a little groggy, caught the train to work. All of a sudden I feel calm and happy. Seriously this if it stays like this will change my life! I'm sweating a little but nothing too major. My vision seems clearer, I feel more focused already."


"OMG the horrible taste.  But it worked in 30 minutes then kept working for 4 hours."


"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'm 30 years old been diagnosed with bipolar effective disorder with anxiety, I'm on olanzpine and its absolutely brilliant, I take olanzpine 10mg at night and 3 diazapam 5mg now down to 2mg 3 times a day, I was put on quetiapine but had to stop that on my 4th day, it caused me to be aggressive and I felt I was put in a coma for days I was nearly sectioned. I would give olanzpine a 10 but it makes you go to the fridge and binge eat lol. But I rather be fat and happy."


"Fantastic at clearing the sinus infection. I'm on day 4 and it's almost completely gone. The first two days were miraculous.

But then. Starting day 3 ...

My stomach and intestines are rumbling almost constantly and I'm "pooping" brown water 5+ times a day.

I'm also utterly exhausted and weak, making it virtually impossible to actually do anything.

If this gets much worse, I'm going to have to stop using this before the 10-day course runs out."


"I was having bad hot flashes and I was taking estrogen, it helps but not much, I did some research, hot flashes are neurological, that's why they work so well! I'm so happy with how they work for me, I hope all women can be helped by this medicine. I Don't take that new medicine called brisdelle it's basically just a 8mg Paxil. neurontin helps with my pain and anxiety also, do research you'll be surprised what meds could help besides estrogen."


"I was diagnosed with arthritis all over my body through a bone scan...first I was given mobic...made me sick throw up etc. And made pain worse. Rheumatologist then put me on feldene (piroxicam) and it helped a lot they pain was almost gone and I could walk and drive again. My insurance stopped covering it so I was switched to sulindac and I started to take it 4 days ago. I am back to zero! Completely inflamed in severe pain it also gives me bad migraines makes me sleepy and my stomach hurts. I don't know what to do! I need to go back to the rheumatologist and try something else yet again! Why do insurance companies stop covering medications that help their patients!! This is so frustrating!"


"My husband has been an alcoholic for 16 years. He has struggled with depression, severe anxiety with disassociation, and seizures. Alcohol was the only thing that helped. Yesterday he was prescribed gabapentin at a starting dose of 100mg 3 times daily.  About an hour after his first dose he stated that he felt different and better and he didn't feel the need to drink. A couple of hours later he stated that for the first time since puberty he felt like himself. He has only taken one dose, but if you're thinking about trying this medication for alcohol dependance, there's strong research that it is beneficial, and can help fix the imbalance in your brain that makes you need alcohol. It's worth a try. Blessings to you"


"I've been taking this pill for 3 years now, and have had nothing but good experiences--no weight gain, soreness, nausea--nothing. My skin cleared up, and I haven't had a period in I don't remember how long (I skip the placebo pills), with zero spotting or anything. I wish everyone could find a pill  that works like this for them!"


"This is the only medicine that is truly effective in regards to indescribable horror that true alcohol withdrawal brings."


"Gilenya is by far the best medication so far in treating my multiple sclerosis.  Easy to take and with few to any side effects.  Highly recommend."


"Everyone's body is different however Aviane has worked wonders for me!! I originally was prescribed this when I was 18 but with my mom's insurance I had to switch to the generic version; which was horrible for me. I recently got back on Aviane after about 6 years and I love it more than I did back then! I've lost weight and my acne has cleared up so drastically! I love this birth control!!"


"At first, this drug is a MIRACLE drug. No binging, just all the right types of eating that I got to control. However, I felt the Vyvanse crash (extremely fatigued, angry, hopeless, and "blah") every day once I started moving up in dose (above 20mg) because the binging was starting to come back in phases. After switching to 30mg -60mg every other month, to try to find the right doseage, I finally realized the drug wasn't worth the crash.My psychitarist told me that the crashes were so intense due to the fact that I did not have ADHD so the chemical imbalance is what caused the crash.However, if you are on this drug and do feel the crashes, I've tried a lot of things to help combat it, the one that works the best is to drink water. 1L a day"


"Amazing results! Worked much better than Viagra with only the mildest flushing of the skin as compared to the headache and blue vision with Viagra."


"I rated this a 10/10 because I was extremely happy with the side effects/results I was looking for in this pill. Although this is a birth control pill, I was taking it for personal reasons. Which being, I had heard that birth control usually made your breast larger. I don't like my natural breast size/butt size or body weight and the reason I started taking this birth control in the first place was a medical reason but I wanted to continue taking it for the breast enlargement/weight gain reason. I was taking it for a total of three months. I started noticing a change in breast size and weight gain/butt enlargement (due to weight gain) within about a month or month and a half of taking this birth control. It boosted my self confidence/esteem"


"Hey ya'll! I wanted to share my experience since I looked at these religiously prior to going. I got Skyla yesterday around 2 o'clock. I took 800 mg of ibuprofen around 1:15, prior to my appointment. When I went in the entire experience was an absolute breeze. She walked in, told me the risks, set up, and inserted Skyla, all within 7 minutes. I felt a slight period type cramp when she used the sound to measure my uterus, and then a another cramp when she inserted Skyla. The cramp on both occasions did not last longer than thirty seconds. I felt absolutely fine after and even went out to dinner and to a professional baseball game! Everyone is different but don't worry too much - you'll do great!"


"Trazodone was prescribed to me to help me fall asleep and stay asleep. I take 50mg each night as needed before bed. This medication makes me sleepy within 15 minutes of taking it and I'm usually asleep in 30 minutes. However, in the mornings it's been very hard for me to wake up because I feel the medication really effects me and keeps me still feeling sleepy throughout the day. But I'm overall happy with the results and would recommend this to anyone having insomnia or anxiety before bedtime."


"my doctor gave me latuda because I wanted to stop zyprexa and seroquel because of the weight gain. She told me that latuda doesn't cause weight gain. I took 40mg and it seem to work pretty well it wasn't as great as zyprexa but it worked well........but I had to stop because even though my insurance covered the drugs, the copay cost me $500 which I obviously cannot afford. So am going cold turkey on everything.....why cant I just be normal?"


"Stelara was just as effective as the other Biologics (Enbrel, Humira), a bit inconvenient is the Dr. visit for the injection, but it is better controlled in this application.  Great medicine for psoriasis, been on it for 3 years and just recently getting headaches (5 days since injection)...I'll give another 48 hrs, then I'll check in with my Dr.  I am still sold on this medication, wonderful break through."


"I started taking escitalopram for severe anxiety and depression. The initial side effects really sucked. I couldn't work, was constantly tired, clenched and shaky jaw. I wasn't "there" for about the first 3 weeks on 10mg, I went up to 20mg after 1 month of 10mg. I'm now on week 9 of treatment and feeling better than I ever have before. No more anxiety, panic attacks or locking myself away in my room. I'm actually getting up and doing things again. I'm daydreaming and not dwelling on the negatives anymore. It has completely switched my mindset. Feels as though I've come out from underneath a dark cloud and can see, feel and hear again. Has worked absolute wonders for me personally. I cannot cry and feel a bit emotionally masked though."


"Suboxone saved my life. I wanted to get clean so badly, but, even with rehab and NA (meetings 6x/week, sponsor, step-work, etc.) I still could NOT manage to live life without some sort of substance (eg. alcohol, marijuana, opiates, ANYTHING) to take me out of my misery and pain for a while. Suboxone 8mg for 5 years has me stable and in control of my life, emotions and actions. Thank GOD for buprenorphine."


"I went to a Lipidologist to find out why my HDL was better than optimal, but my LDL-p was close to 2000 (should be under 1000). Found out it was due to genetics, and no amount of exercise and healthy food would matter. She put me on Atorvastatin, and two months later my LDL-p was at 740. I have had absolutely no side effects in a year of use. Would I like to be off of all meds? Sure, but my low thyroid and high LDL suggest otherwise. So, up to now, all is well."


"I have had OCD and anxiety for 26 years, Prozac worked for about 7 yrs. Then pooped out, Zoloft was next.  It lasted another 7 yrs then pooped out. Then came Lexapro and I only got 2 yrs out of it and then had my first major depressive episode.  Lasted 9 mnths while Dr. was trying Effexor XR.  It helped the depression, but not the OCD.  Went to a new Dr. and was put on Viibryd starter pack and when I was up to 40 mgs. I had my life back. Recently, my doc upped the dosage to 60 mgs. because I was still obsessing about getting the depression back.  Been on the 60 mg. dose for a few days and it actually made my OCD and anxiety worse, however, when I called the Dr., he said that is normal when switching dosages and will go away."


"I took Zoloft for a few months for depression. I did notice a slight improvement in my mood, but stopped taking it due to side effects. I felt tired most of the time and lost any sexual interest. These side effects disappeared after a week off Zoloft."


"I have been trying to lose weight and have not been able too while on it and also sex drive has gone down a lot but other than that no side effects and works well"


"i never knew what it meant to be manic until i started taking Zoloft.  My OCD got worse and I was so jittery, yet felt so high on life nothing could stop me."


"I struggle with construction and nothing else seems to help. I tried Colace, Miralax, 48 hour Hollywood diet, nothing helped. Read the reviews on this and figured it might help. I was wrong. It definitely helped. Don't make plans to go anywhere after taking. I ignored the warning, went out to dinner with friends, and literally $#!t my pants on the walk home. Yeah. It works."


"Since a very bad attack of acute bronchitis landed me in the E.R. two years ago, I have had a chronic dry cough. Nothing I couldn't live with, just mildly annoying. But...every time I succumb to a cold now, it rapidly becomes a lung infection with a horrible, hacking, non-productive cough. Such is the case right now. After not getting any sleep last night, coughing every couple minutes,  I went to my doctor this morning, and she prescribed antibiotics and 200 mg every 8 hours of the Benzonatate. Within about 45 minutes, I had no cough. I have so far not felt any side effects, I just took my second dose half an hour ago, and my lungs are still quiet and peaceful. I am confident that tonight I will actually get some good sleep.  :)"


"If you have to take a stimulant and you get anxiety, this is the medication to take. It is very smooth and doesn't cause anxiety. There isn't a high and low and you don't really feel this wear off (no ups and downs) the way that Adderall and other medicines cause a low in the evening. This is not any more addicting than any other drug so don't believe that. People that require these types of medication typically don't get addicted to them.  People and doctors tend to give medications that can help people."


"My 7 year old son started taking focalin xr 5 in December after I had him tested for what I was sure going to be asperges. Turns out he was suffering from ADHD...he is currently on 15 mg xr and I can honestly say for him it is a miracle drug. He went from not being able to read and barely writing his name to reading whole books...he also went from making 20's and 30's on spelling test to averaging 90, we even had 2 100's. He has lost some weight but right now is still average so it is not much of a concern."


"This medicine works. I was able to attain four erections in one night with just one tablet. It works in about 30-45 minutes and it is worth the price. No side effects for me at all."


"I was on the shot at 19 for about 2 yrs then went back to pills. I decided 6 months ago to go back to the depo, I had no bad side effects at 19. Now 24 the side effects of this shot are terrible. My anxiety has worsened, I'm depressed but the over all worst is the acne! Cyst acne on my neck and chin. I've never had acne not even as a teen. It's awful. It's gotten much worse. I spent 80$ on acne meds!!! Not to mention it has know estrogen in it! I'm due in 2 months for my next shot. Defiantly not getting it again! Going back to pills to hopefully get back to my normal self and skin!!!!"


"Can't say I love it but I kind of like it. First the BAD: my first month taking this was the absolute worst. I was beyond exhausted everyday and felt like I could fall asleep at any given moment (thankfully this has subsided). Also I noticed that I have blemishes that show up on my neck and jawline randomly once in a while ever since taking this. They're not terrible but I've never had this before. Finally, taking the pill at the same time everyday can be torture.
Now the GOOD: I have not had a period or any PMS symptoms since taking this. I also have read that certain birth controls can alter hair and weight for some women but mine stayed the same while on this."


"I have only been using this drug for 4 days. I am not having any problems with using it, However, I am a bit concerned with loss of appetite and brain fog. I can stand to lose some wieght but since I am a nursing student, I cannot deal with feeling out of it. I wonder if these side effects are temporary."


"We have child with Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), he is not 6.5 years old and since 1 year suffered very bad sleeping quality. Waking up suddenly in the night, 2AM-3AM and cannot rest properly until 5AM or 6AM. Very nervous during the day, not having good attendance at special needs school. Melatonine, from 2 to 3 mg 1 hr before sleeping, was helpful to falling asleep quickly, but not effective to avoid night wake up or iperactivity. Since 3 weeks we started clonidine 0.1 mg, 1 tab night time before sleep, and it works very well. Since day 1 he is calm and rests well. Few nights he woke up but not nervous or crying/shouting, just calm for a couple of minutes and back to sleep. Also at school and during the day he's more quiet and calm."


"Very difficult to stop taking it"


"I wish I would have tried Nupercainal first as I used a lot of stuff that didn't work.  This stuff is incredible and it cleared up my issue quickly.  Not very well marketed as I stumbled upon it through a forum.  Nothing worked better."


"I am a survivior of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI'S).  I was misdiagnosis bi-polar.  I was re-evaluated 10-12 years ago because of a 'fatty liver' condition due to the Seroquel a psychoactive drug.  This misdiagnosis was reaffirmed when, I became part of a DNA study.  Each individual would need to participate at their own discretion.  The point to my comment is for me...clonazepam has been since 2008 now it is 2017 a workable solution with no side effects or health risks or addiction issues.  2017, I have been arbitrarily taken off of  clonazepam by a 'physicians assistant' in the mental health field. "We are not treating for depression."  This is not logical."


"I am in treatment for Lyme disease and the antibiotics, as well as the infections, cause insomnia, depression, anxiety and racing thoughts.  I used herbs to quieten my mind so I could sleep and they were successful for a couple of years, but finally I needed something stronger. I take just half of a 25 mg pill an hour before I want to fall asleep.  It works very well but I do feel groggy in the morning.  At first I even had trouble talking as my speech was slurred.  "


"In the beginning this contraceptive made me nauseated every single day, which was irritating.  I did spot more than normal in the first month or two, however I am now 18 months in and like it very much.  I don't have nearly as many crazy mood swings on this pill as I have on others and it seems to be a very effective contraceptive (even if I forget to take it and have to play catch-up every once in a while).  However, since I've been on it I have experienced yeast infections and urinary tract infections much more often than usual but I'm unsure if that is the Pill or change in sexual habits.  All in all, not pregnant, so thumbs up."


"I was on the Depo shot for 3 years and was fed up with feeling hungry all the time so i decided to go with Skyla, my first IUD. Insertion was not the most comfortable feeling,  cramps.  I have two children and it wasn't anywhere near the pain of labor. I had cramping for several days afterwards and that went away.  I got Skyla put in last December and I haven't experienced any side effects. My period had stopped when I was on the Depo and I still haven't gotten it while being on Skyla. It's really nice to not have to worry about birth control. Only thing I do is check every 2 weeks to make sure I can still feel the strings"


"I have been on Copaxone for almost 10 years. I am very pleased with the results. Its the only medicine I have been on so I can tell you it works for me.  Like some of the other reviews I have had a few issues but nothing I can't  handle. One episode was after the shot, I had heart palpitations worse then usual. Only lasted a minute or two but felt like 20, soon after vomiting and headache.. slept it off and fine after. In all the years taking Copaxone the heart palpitations happened maybe 6-7 times. So I'm not going to complain. I grew up with an uncle that battled progress stage of Multiple Sclerosis. I wish Copaxone was around before his got to that stage.  Thanks shared solutions for making my life easier."


"I started Stelara Sept 2014.  By January 2015, psoriasis are worse than they have ever been.  I even have patches on my face!  I've suffered with psoriasis for 30 years."


"I have had my Mirena in for a little over a year. I love having the Mirena in because I'm all about convenience. I don't have to worry about taking a pill, or getting a shot. I LOVE not having a period. I had a not so pleasant experience with the insertion of it. But that doesn't happen often to people. I am on the fence about taking it out. I have gained 21lbs in a year. My acne is bad. I am tired often. Everyone's body is different. I know friends who have not had these problems. I like the Mirena it just isn't a good fit for me."


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


"Levaquin seems to be the only antibiotic that actually helped clear up my lungs...it is just very unfortunate that it has such awful side effects. I contracted a yeast infection after 2 days. The medication made me an absolute insomniac! There was no way to sleep, which made things worse. I am willing to deal with these side effects to get better, but it's certainly not for those who don't want to deal with possibly getting worse before they get better. I am 23."


"Had bad reaction all the way. Within 15 minutes of taking, experienced shortness of breath, dizziness, diarrhea, throwing up, shakiness, full blown rash/hives, cold/chills, confusion, slurred speech, rapid heart rate, ringing in the ears, extreme tiredness."


"I was prescribed this medication for insomnia and depression. It worked great for the insomnia the first six months but then it no longer worked. I'm too sensitive to ssris medication so I thought this would be a great match until it stopped working. Also makes you perpetually hungry and prone to gain weight"


"I was 21 when I got it and removed it after a year. The insertion wasn't bad but the side effects were terrible. I went from no cramps to cramping often. Periods were 2 weeks spotting, 1 week HEAVY FLOW. I couldn't wear tampons as they would immediately leak. It filled a thick pad within 1-2 hours. Constant embarrassment when going out because I would somehow always leak, and it ruined some vacations as I couldn't swim while on my period. I dealt with this nightmare of only having 1 week/month without a period for a year, thinking my period would go back to normal after 6 months, it never did. My bf could also feel the string poking him when we had sex, which sucked. It may work for some but I definitely would not recommend it."


"I have had the last 6 inhalers clogged.  I still have medicine in them and they will not work.  What is going on?  It is undependable!  Asthma is a condition that cannot wait!"


"I have been taking the drug for just a little over 3 weeks , I want a life membership for this Drug , I hardly have any pain , I can feel my feet and feel great on it , I am one of the lucky ones after reading many posts , i Have had nerve pain for almost 3 years and it has been brutal , I have tied amtatriplean , and lyrica ,  both did not wok , feeling way better"


"Was very nervous for the insertion but it was all a breeze. It didn't hurt so much as just some cramping for like 2ish minutes and then a little achy for the hours after insertion. I did take 600mg of ibuprofen which was probably useful. I spotted for a couple hours after insertion but not to bad. Will see how I  handle the side effects (if I get any). But so far so good! Love the idea of not having to worry for 3+ (if liletta gets FDA approval) years"


"had my first injection today. had problems for years. 2 meniscuis surgerys and  many cortisone shots. knee keeps getting fluid and have been getting it removed and cortisone inj. hasnt been lasting long. i have another torn meniscuis and osteoarthritis. i have little pain with fluid removal and cortisone inj. my first euflexxa inj. today was so painful that i cant go back. level 10 pain for about 30 seconds!  also it was done by the same dr. that gave me painless cortisone! i was told to do normal activity and no mention of icing? it was my first and last one"


"I've been taking Cryselle for over a year and I find it the best birth control for me. I've taken several others that made me sick and Cryselle gives me the least side effects. I get moody on and off but that's normal for any woman in general. I've had less cramping and periods are normal. I gained 4 pounds but that's also something that comes with it, just like either losing weight. Overall I like Cryselle!!"


"I've been taking Desogen since I was 14 and I'm almost 20. I have never had any side effects. I'm very pleased with it. As long as I stay baby free, I'm happy!"


"I was prescribed Nora b after being off of birth control for 15yrs.... I always had normal periods on time to a tee now I am getting my period for 9 days.... I'm stopping this med right away....especially after reading all those reviews on in between period bleeding"


"Been on the pill for about 9 months. Only the first month had side effects. Since then, my mental health has finally stabilized. I have had severely unstable moods since I was 9. I also had premenstural dysphoric disorder and extreme cramping. Since taking the pill, my whole life has improved and I'm able to accomplish things such as going to a regular school full time. Now my period only lasts 3 days, and my sex drive is still there :)."


"Since beginning Letairis 3 months ago, my blood pressure has reduced and my exercise capabilities are better. I still have shortness of breath, but not nearly as quickly as I did before the medication. The 6 minute walk was better with walking further and faster. Side effects are minimal so far."


"My doctor called this a miracle drug and it worked miracles for me. I wish I had known about it years ago. I was a pack a day smoker for 40 years. By week two on chantrix I was down to 1-2 cigs a day and I think that was me hanging on to an old need.  Week three, I was a non-smoker. No cravings, no longing.

Side effects- I am tiny, 100 pounds, so the full dose was way too strong for me. It ripped up my stomach and caused diarrhea  until I cut back the dosage slightly. No depression or mood swings (and this from someone who went through a wicked peri-menopause.) Doctor warned of serious nightmares. I had no dreams at all though did have sleeplessness for 2-3 weeks.

Have been smoke free for 3 months. Grateful . Thanks Chantrix!"


"This has helped me in ways no other medicine has. It is the best by far in my book. It takes about 30 minutes to take effect but completely takes my migraine away and I have my control of my life."


"I was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I was started on Mirapex, after 3 weeks of therapy I had to stop due to severe side effects: auditive hallucinations, nausea, peripheral edema, muscle pain, vivid dreams and the worst, difficulty sleeping having the need to get up and move constantly.

I'm sure that this is a very good medication but I couldn't tolerate the side effects"


"I have had nexplanon twice. The first 2 1/2 years were great. I never had a period or any other side effects. When it came time to get a new one put in, I bled for months at a time. So, I got a new one put in and it effected me completely different than the first time. I bled constantly for months at a time. I had horrible anxiety and mood swings. For example, I would freak out on my boyfriend when he wasn't even doing anything. I didn't feel like myself. I actually had to get on antidepressants. I finally got it taken out of my arm yesterday after this went on for 6 months. I just don't understand why the first time I had it was so great and the second time was terrible. Nexplanon definitely can cause terrible freak outs and constant bleed"


"I took three tablets last night at 7:30pm after not going to the bathroom for a few days. I woke up at 2AM with an urge to go, but still couldn't go. I went back to bed and woke up at 4:45 with a very upset stomach. My stomach was cramping really bad and I laid in bed for a little longer hoping I wouldn't throw up. I never threw up, but after a few minutes in bed I had to run to the bathroom when I was hit with a sudden need to go. I have been having explosive diarrhea for almost an hour. At first, I would finish and then have to go again 5 minutes later! My stomach doesn't hurt anymore and the diarrhea is starting to let up. I hope I don't have diarrhea at work."


"I have severe, chronic sciatica.  Aspirin does next to nothing for the pain.  Naproxen or ibuprofen are far superior."


"Everyone reacts differently to different pills at different times, but here's my experience:
I was suffering from amenorrhea, loss of sex drive and feeling, vaginal dryness, inability to orgasm, and depression for 11 months. My tests all said my hormones were normal. Within a week of starting Zarah, my depression DISAPPEARED and I slowly started regaining feeling and sensitivity, and my sex drive was returning. Now 4 months in, my libido is super high again as it used to be,  I'm ridiculously lubricated, and sensitivity and orgasms have returned.
There are some negative side effects, but the pros far outweigh the cons for me. Negatives are pimple outbreaks around my chin, pretty bad water retention and some swelling, and minor dizziness."

"We have used Ornex for over 30 years and find it to be the most effective remedy for sinus headaches and the like.  The non-drowsy formula allowed my husband to take it when operating heavy equipment.  It is easy to use but very hard to find these days.  We have never experienced any adverse side effects from its use.  Please put it back on the market!"


"I was on Yaz, the doctor took me off it. I then got put on something else and got a cyst. Now a year later and I have another cyst. The doctor is trying to get me back on the Yaz. When I was on it I loved it. It made my periods shorter lighter and less moody. I recommend this pill."


"I have been taking Aptensio now for 3 months. I have been diagnosed with ADHD now for about 2 1/2 years. I have taken just about every non stimulant and stimulant on the market.  I am currently taking 50mg of the Aptensio  once a day. I am finding myself still scattered brained and my memory is horrible. I think the pill is lasting about 6 hrs and then I have a hard come down making me a total witch! The one thing that I have noticed is that I have put 12 lbs. on in 3 months. I am constantly eating! I had my thyroid checked and it came back normal.  I have spoke with other people that say they are gaining weight on the pill as well."


"Have been losartan for a couple of months not good. Blood pressure went  up  and terrible side effects.  I received meds from vet administration.  They  seem to want to keep you medicated all the time. I have,stopped taking it. I am waiting on an appt,with a civilian doc who will listen to me about these side effects and give me,something my body can tolerate."


"I've been prescribed 30 ml mirtrazapine for the last 4-5 months for my insomnia, to start with I slept for days and days it felt like I never could come round from them, after a few weeks of taking them my body got used to the drug and I slept the best I have done in years but it took a few hours each morning to come round and also I felt really snappy and had a short fuse, after coming round though I've felt happy and myself again and everyone I've spoke to says how much better I'm doing and my body language has improved greatly, in the recent weeks though I've started to wake up during the night again and felt short tempered in the mornings, and some days I struggle to come round like a kinda hang over but most days I still feel very good hungry"


"I was admitted to the hospital with a severe headache and stiff neck. I was given Demerol on one occasion it didn't really help, And upon my next visit for the same headache 3 and a half weeks later I was given Tordol for my pain and Zofran for nausea...It sure didn't help. So I was put into a room where I asked for some pain medication and the nurse told me I could get Nubain for my pain. I had never had it before to the best of my knowledge..But get this.. The doctor that admitted me saw in my chart that I had taken Methadone in the past..He asked me DO YOU STILL TAKE METHADONE?? I SAID YES EVERY DAY. The nurse gave me the Nubain and I had instant withdrawals. One week later I'm still sick with a headache."


"VA diagnosed PTSD, MDD, GAD.

I had an awful experience with lexapro and went to the va for another option. They started me off on 12.5mg of Zoloft/sertraline every other day to ease my transition into the medication.

First time I took it the next day I woke up and had a big grin on my face the whole day.

I have since gone upto 25mg and have had nothing but great experiences.

Side effects are diarrhea and some nausea upon waking, but coffee and walking around seem to fix that right up.

Everyone is different but Zoloft has saved my life from becoming a giant pit of despair"


"I have been taking this med for many years and it still works great. It has greatly improved my quality of life. I have had several cervical neck surgeries and I have lived with chronic pain for many years. This medication has been a life saver for me and I would recommend it to anyone living with chronic pain. Thank You"


"I've been on Xeloda for 5 months. I have extreme traveling pains. Once I woke up at 3am and my right hand felt like someone had stabbed me with a knife and the knife was still in it. This lasted for 3 days. Next it was my left leg at the hip joint. I couldn't walk on it. Lots of pain when I moved it. It lasted about 4 days. Next was in my jaw joint. Painful swelling, couldn't bite down on anything..another 3 day episode. The pain is horrible. I go for scans in two weeks to see why my tumor markers went up. Could be from the inflammation xeloda is causing, could be xeloda is not working for me and the cancer is spreading. Will know soon."


"I have had anxiety for approximately 30 years and have been on Paxil for about 10. What a difference it has made in my life. I would recommend this medicine to anyone who is suffering from Anxiety. I also suffer from panic disorder and just carrying Xanax with me has helped alleviate my attacks.  Only have to take it once in awhile now....Also...working out more has really helped with stress and a great preventative and with a little of the weight gain from Paxil. Take care."


"Ambien CR was prescribed to me for long term use after I was only able to get a 3 hours of sleep per night due to insomnia. It did help me get to sleep (took effect within 30 minutes on an empty stomach) and stay asleep. However, it also makes things seem 3D that aren't (like text on a computer screen), and gives an overall "trippy" feeling. Ambien CR also has a rather strong hangover effect that can last awhile (up to 12 hours from the time it was taken.)

"


"I was skeptical for using pills and I used this one for 6 months and turned down 52 pounds. I never felt bad only at the beginning a little sleepless. And it has been more than 8 months I left them and only gained 8 pounds due to no excercise. I feel great"


"I am approaching the 3 year mark. In the first 5 months, I gained 30 pounds! It has become very hard to loose the weight. Other then that period was normal the first year, second year the period was lasting 8+ days, spotting, towards middle of second year my arm has been going numb, it seems to be on a nerve, it will cause cramp like pain starting at the birth control site all the way down to my fingers, extreme lower abd pain and lots of migraines and headaches. I have an appointment to have it removed as I can no longer tolerate all the side effects. I rather take a daily pill then have this any longer."


"58 year old male caucasian, overweight, non smoker, non diabetic, low total cholesterol, low HDL, high Triglyceride. Been on Diovan HCTZ 320/25 for years.  In last year, 2nd blood pressure medicine -amlodipine was prescribed to hold 130/80 on average.  Developed severe leg swelling at 10 months. Switched to toprolol but developed fatigue, then switched to Bystolic 5 mg/day about two months ago. Immediate dramatic reduction in blood pressure to 110/60.  No problems in energy level.  Heart rate is definitely lower and gets very low (down to 45 bpm when awaking) but no other adverse symptoms.  Feel great so far.  I feel somewhat calmer.  BP has started to climb back to 125/70 in last week. Very pleased so far"


"I have been on the Depo shot for roughly 3 1/2 years, until recently, I've had NO problems. The only tough part would be the week before the next shot, and the shot itself. Usually, about 1 week before my next shot, I would spot, nothing to messy or horrible, just very inconvenient for me. But ever since I missed my shot when I went to Sweden, shit has gotten real bad! Not only do I bleed 2-3 weeks prior my shot, but the flow can range from light to extreme heavy!!! This flow does not stop, no, not until 2 weeks AFTER the shot, does the faucet completely turn off. My recommendation, if it's working for you, do NOT miss your Depo shot appointment!!! I believe that's where everything went wrong!!"


"The longer I take it the more I bleed. I've had unexplained hair loss. I've been on it for several months now. The first two months were fine then the next two I had two full periods a month now I'm having three with no end in site of when I'll stop bleeding."


"I have type 1 diabetes for 25 yrs. Neuropathy diagnosis for 16 yrs. Was on gabapentin for 16 yrs and it quit working for me. 2 months ago my doctor put me on Lyrica and what a difference my pain in feet and legs is all but gone! Thank you Pfizer for Lyrica it has made such a difference in my quality of life!"


"Its my third day taking it. I am very bloated and nauseous all day long. I also have issues sleeping, but nothing to be bothered about. On the other hand, I feel stronger than before."


"Took it for psychosis/paranoia. 80 mg works better than 40 mg, but makes you sleep longer in am. 40 mg is probably sufficient once you've taken a week or so of the 80 and I am big 250 lbs. Take it with Seroquel 25 mg at bedtime because it gives me akathesia/restlessness if I don't. For others who might experience restlessness, Benadryl will provide relief as well. It does not have to be Seroquel. Overall, it's a good medication with no weight gain. It's expensive though. I take samples from my MD when needed."


"Gilenya worked wonders for me the first 18 months, I felt great, MS stabilised, then I started slowly getting worse, fatigue, dizziness, bad headaches, still no MS progression or relapses but I felt awful! Elected to take the chance to come off the drug and try another just to feel better, within 6 days after stopping G I felt amazing, no more fatigue, no headaches and the dizziness has eased, at day 18 off so far and I continue to feel better each day. Clearly does its job but at the expense of my life it just wasn't worth the side effects."


"My son is 6 and has been on this medication for a week and has shown improvement at school. He has been able to work independently on his work sheets and gets through his work faster. He is very smart but didn't have the focus to complete a task but I have noticed he has loss of appetite and not going to sleep at night which is bothersome to me because he was always such a good eater and sleeper. So might have to look into other medicines."


"I was on Bydureon for about 2 months, I really noticed the loss of appetite and lost my sweet tooth. My weight came down and my blood sugar levels dropped from 8.5 to 6.0. I was really happy with the medicine until the known side effects started to show. They were nausea this happened approx once a week in the fourth week in on taking the medicine and bloating, indigestion, a lot of passing wind and acidy burps. Also I felt a bump and itchy feeling around injection area whenever I injected. If they can sort out these side effects then it would be really fantastic for people with Type 2 diabetes. I was really reluctant to stop but the horrible nausea beat me.  "


"My doctor is using this Fetzima for my Fibromyalgia.  The Fetzima  has made a big difference in my life.   I start with 20 mg for 2 days then 40 mg it has help with the pain greatly plus I'm starting to lose weight.  My body feels half way normal again.  I think the inflammation in my body has gone down also.  I don't feel swollen or stiff like I use to.  I haven't been using my Tramadol and Ibuprofen much either.
I haven't had any side affect at all.
    My doctor also gave me a coupon that helps.  My copay is 50 but with coupon it is 25."


"2.5 weeks on Chantix. quit cigarettes on 4th day. Now 2 weeks cigarette free. Side effect were touch of nausea and gas. Few vivid dreams but not too bad. A bit tired but take only after dinner around 7:30 -no day dose for me. Last side effect is joint pain, elbow, toes and finger joints, neck, etc. hurt. Not on 0.5mg only 1mg dose. Benefits are not smoking and some relief for my menopause symptoms. I am loving that. I had withdrawals from the patch, got sick from the gum. I like to smoke but they trigger my migraines. Thanks Chantix!"


"I have been on this pill for 2 months. I don't have cramps anymore. Thank goodness! My appetite is smaller. Breasts have stayed the same size and thats fine by me. My period is now 6-7 days (used to be 3-4 days when I wasn't on birth control). No babies though. I do notice that I get more headaches. Im not sure if its from the pill because I've been more active and the sun in FL is strong."


"Experiencing gastritis"


"So I began on August 23 at 253lb  now August 26 I'm 246lb! Not hungry just dry mouth and I haven't  exercised at all but will begin tomorrow just walk and swimming"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Just finished split prep for colonoscopy this morning. Not as bad as I had feared - chilled solution, used straw and chasers, finished with mints. Could not drink final glass (knew I would vomit) but was well cleaned out.  Clear your schedule and have good reading material handy and it's not too bad."


"Finally found something to stop back pain. "


"I'm a 17 yr old girl and I had acne all over my cheeks and forehead. I had tried another form of oral acne medication and prescription face gels, but nothing helped. I'm almost on my 3rd month of Accutane and my skin has improved 150%. I still will get a pimple every now and then, but they're nowhere near as severe. The dryness is annoying. Cetaphil soap and lotion has worked well for my face. I use Aquaphor and Burt's bees for my lips but they still flake away all the time. I also get nosebleeds because of the dryness in my nose. I also sleep a lot more since I've been on Accutane. It's worth it though!"


"At first I was hesitant because of the price w/o ins (over $100 a bottle) and some people can develop a serious rash. However, after some contemplation, and knowing that the lithium I was taking was not helping my bi-polar depression, and knowing Lamictal helps increase energy, I decided to take it anyway... I LOVE THIS STUFF. Its helped me so much, I've gone off lithium and am taking it exclusively for BP2. I'm on a low dose of 50 mg because I experienced some itching at first, which did go away after about a month. Now, I have NO side effects, and my depression is GONE without me feeling numb. In other words, I can still be sad without spinning into depression. I haven't gone manic either, but I rarely go that way, so it works for me!"


"I am a 55 year old female with very high blood pressure.  The doctors have prescribed many different high blood pressure medications for me over the years and none have stabalized my pressure.  About a month ago, they changed me to Norvasc 10MG.  (I also take 50 MG of Tenormin which I have taken for a couple of years daily).  After a day of taking Norvasc, my pressure dropped immediately.  I feel like a new person.  No side effects at all.  I feel as if I have my life back now."


"I had 3 HPV near my V opening, went to see my gyne. Had it checked and she gv me a box of Aldara, Probas Omega 3 AEE, Protexin Protect Multi Prebiotic.

The doc explained treating HPV (skin tags, warts) must be done both ways, frm inside and outside due to low immune/anti body system inside us.

Aldara is for skin app, 3x a week (Mon, Wed, Fri). Apply while lying or sit down - allow it to absorb for a while before sleep at night. 1 sachet perweek.

As for the Omega 3 & Protect, 2x a day. On top of that, double up my norm 1000mg VitC and MultiV. All these for 30 days.

Aft 2 weeks, it completely gone. Balance of Aldara, will keep if any for future."


"When I got ran over by the 18 wheeler, tried everything. Chiropractor, Physical therapy, tramadol, etc. nothing stopped the pain. Lortab 7.5 is only thing that works. Take 1/2 in morning, 1/2 at lunch, and 1/2 in evening. Just watch for dizziness, nausea, and I guess that's a side effect. I feel loopy and detached a little, but it's better than hurting all the time. Most definitely don't mix with booze, made me sick as a dog. Also watch your tolerance. One day tried to take a whole one and had to lay down.  Just be mindful it hits everyone different. Hope this helps."


"I love this medication, it works perfectly for me. I apply a small amount only to the affected area and it clears up the redness on my cheeks. It also makes the heat go away. The redness clears up all day, which is what I need it to do. I haven't had a flare up for awhile, but it's back now and I will make sure I have plenty of Mirvaso on hand. I also have a coupon I found online that I'm hoping will help with the cost."


"i have been on 150mg of Wellbutrin XL for two days and I can already feel a difference. It has removed all appetite which seems to be a side effect but, in all fairness, I didn't have one before I started taking the meds! I have depression and panic attacks and after just 48 hours I am excited about the holidays! Baked five dozen Christmas cookies today! I haven't been interested in the holiday season in years! I DO recommend getting the brand name meds and not the generic, as I have heard many issues arising from the generic form. Happy holidays!"


"I have had a terrible experience with Gianvi. I have never had problems or side effects with any other birth control before. Gianvi gave me severe migraines. The migraines would be so bad I would stay in bed for days. Gianvi also messed with my vision. After taking it I started having blurry vision. It also caused me to have mood swings. I cried over anything, including commercials on T.V. After finally realizing it was Gianvi causing all of my problems my husband and I decided it was best for me to stop taking it. Best luck to any one who takes this."


"I took this pill tonight for the first time, almost 3 years in pain every morning I had to wake up an hour earlier just for designated bathroom time, nearly falling sometimes in pain if I couldn't get to a bathroom. Tonight I had a rolling cramp and took it, within minutes it just stopped.. I ate a full meal and I haven't had to run to the bathroom urgency... Hopefully I can handle the simpler side effects"


"I also have be prescribed gabapentin for neuropathy and most recently for 2 herniated discs in my lower back causing sciatica. The first month was fine and the only side effect was blurred vision and dizziness. Going on month 6 and having horrible insomnia, memory loss, lack of coordination, pain, depression, anxiety. Effecting my job, cannot stand more than 5minutes, 2-4 hrs of sleep max per night. I'm miserable."


"I have massive panic attacks due to loss of close family and life problems. Klonopin is awesome I take 2mg tabs 3 times a day. Hope this is helpful"


"Nobody has mentioned this, but this medication makes me have to pee more often."


"I have been on injection butorphanol for 19 1/2 years due to multiple injuries sustained in an assault on active duty. Unable to take any other narcotic I was put on this.  Though people are different it is almost impossible to get physically addicted to this medicine. It is very expensive, so after all these years of being in relative freedom of great pain I am now bed ridden due to the VA hospital refusing to pay for it anymore. "


"I have been on this medicine for almost two weeks. Has helped my mood and curbed my cravings and eat almost nothing and have NOT LOST ONE SINGLE POUND!!! I can't tell you how disappointed I am....and for what I paid for it!!!! This is a total rip off."


"I've been on Linzess for 1 month 290 mg. I've tried almost every medicine you could think of. I've had Irritable Bowel Syndrome since my 20s. Linzess helps with the bloating but am still having problems using the bathroom on a regular basis. Other than that I've had no adverse side effects."


"My husband & I had unprotected sex on the Nov 5 2016 at 4 am that morning. I remembered I was ovulationing the day before. I told my husband about the pill & he didn't want to hear it (he said it sounds like a abortion) anyway after trying to convince him I wanted this (we have 4 kids already, youngest is 4months) he finally told me to do what I wanted. Got the pill on the 7th, took it at 4pm and got my period on the 13th (yesterday) 3 days early! The day before I started it I felt awful! Nausea, headache, no appetite, with little cramps. (I'm bleeding heavy with a few pea sized clots) I took it at the 62 hour mark & it worked! Never been so happy to get my period! I'll never put myself in that situation again, I go this week for BC!"


"My doctor prescribed Trazodone-50mg to help me sleep but I am not  happy with it.  I do not fall as leep for 3 hours after taking it.  I  do sleep through the night, 8-9 hours uninterrupted, but wake up groggy and not feeling alert.  I am also taking 10mg prozac and an otc vitamin for stress; 7

I am 73 and in excellent health.

I will try taking the T earlier before my next appointment."


"It gave me back my life. I have been on this medication for 14 years (2.5 mgs per day - 1.25 mgs every 12 hours) and this is the only medication that has worked for my VERY severe panic disorder.  Doctors originally tried me on SSRIs which only made my condition worse.  I finally found a doctor who believed in Clonazepam, and it is the only medicine that works for me making me feel normal again.  Now that he is retiring, I am finding that all of the new doctors want to switch me to SSRIs."


"I have been on the NuvaRing for a little over 3 months (because my doctor made me see if it would get better although I tried to change to something else less than a month in). I have gained 15 pounds, lost my sex drive, and have been extremely Moody and unable to feel like myself. However I would have to say the worst side effect is the Breast tenderness. I have been on many different birth controls and this one has more unpleasant side effects than any other birth control."


"I was diagnosed with SLE lupus in 2011,  my lupus is mild and has remained mild.  My only ailments are inflammation of my joints, mainly my right hand fingers and my left foot baby toe.  I have been taking the Hydroxychloroquine 200mg Tab twice a day.  I have not found any change to my pain from taking this drug.  I was given pain meds for the inflammation that helps after two weeks of taking them.  I noticed my hair breaking off the past 3 yrs after taking the drug, prior to taking it my hair was growing very well and doing good.  I went to a dermatologist who said my scalp was healthy and gave me shampoo for the itchy scalp and desoximetasone ointment usp 0.05%.  Could this low dose of Hydroxychloroquine cause my hair loss?"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Don't believe anyone that tells you the taste is not bad.  It is awful and there is no way to mask it. I couldn't even finish the second dose. This is the worst part of the whole procedure and there has to be a better way!"


"I recently tried Ultra Strength Bengay, and found it to be a poor quality, worthless, useless, rip off of a product that did nothing. I might as well have used water. It did not heat up, and I could not even tell that I had applied it, although I know of course that I did."


"Lamictal saved my life. Literally. Helped with suicidal thoughts and a feeling of going crazy beyond control. Later I added Cymbalta and Provigal as well. Able to have a more regular life now! Takes awhile to kick in since you have to build up the dose but stick it out- definitely worth the wait. (I've tried several others and Lamictal is by far the best)."


"I have been taking this to see if it will help with my vaginismus, which is where the vaginal clamps down during any sort of penetration due to a trauma. I think it has helped mildly, but not cured my condition - which is not surprising, since it's mostly mental."


"I have been using Forteo for 6 months now.  I am 60 years old and have had osteoporosis of my hips since I was 50.  Other medicines did not help and after I fell this past summer and broke my left hip the doctor suggested Forteo advising me that it was the best and that studies have shown that after treatment is finished bone will be back to normal.  "


"I thought I was finally going to find the medication for me. At first it was O.K., I was on a low dose, a few days later when I was on a 5mg twice a day for only 4 days, I had been experiencing trouble concentrating, and woke up to my arm muscle twitching uncontrollably, which continued all night and onto the next day. So I quit the medication and called my MD."


"I took Prozac for several years to treat my depression and it was awesome. It had few side effects but gave me my life back. I went from not leaving my bed to actually being a productive member of society again. I did lose a good deal of weight while I was on it but that eventually balanced out.  I took it until it got to the point where it stopped working for me and I've never found anything that has worked as well.  Hopefully I will be able to take it and have it work for me again one day."


"Here's the thing... most of these reviews are from users that have used Chantix and quit in the past month... that's NOT quitting. That's medicated cessation. I've been a smoker for 35 years... On my 10th week of Chantix and while Chantix worked WONDERFULLY the first 4-5 weeks.. it's not working great now. In the beginning, Chantix make smoking unsavory. Not only did I not WANT to smoke, but I found the entire thing unpleasant. This was fantastic. However, going on week 10 now... I want to smoke and Chantix is doing very little to stop that. Realize Chantix TRUE success rate is only roughly 15%. It's NOT a "miracle" drug."


"This medicine didn't make me gain weight or give me terrible mood swings, however, it gave me awful dryness "down there." This started approximately two an a half months in, during the pack where things got regular and I got my period on schedule.  There was literally nothing at all being produced down there and sex was impossible. The times I tried, I ended up with abrasions and irritation for days afterward (even with lubricant), and became afraid to even do it, which defeats the purpose of birth control. The periods were very light and painless but it totally ruined my sex life."


"I am male with Fibromyalgia since the early 1990's.  Have tried a variety of regimens and some medications to help.  Started Savella the first time late in 2009.  Side effects became so bad that I chose to stop.  Fibromyalgia got to the point that it was ruining quality of life, so I started again in February.  This time, I decided to go really slow with the titration.  Two weeks at 25 mg a day, 2 weeks at 37.5 mg, etc.  Now at 50 mg a day in 2 doses.  Have occasional nausea, prostrate-like issues, headaches, and rapid heartbeat, but not severe enough to stop.  Pain management is much better.  May try increased dosage to see what happens.  Stick with it and go slowly is my advice."


"Went to the Emergency Room with lower left back pain and numbness in left leg.   The doctor prescribed Vicodin and Valium when didn't eliminate the pain, but helped manage until I saw my GP.   She conducted no exam and decided to discontinue the Vicodin and Valium and put me on Methocarbamol and recommended physical therapy.   Needless to say it was back to the emergency room that night and I'm now looking for a new GP.   Only made things worse - she was an idiot."


"I have not  experienced any side effects besides a little constipation. My eating habits has decreased. My weight has dropped 10 pounds a month for the last 2 months. I don't think it is the medication that cause me to lose, but my  5 miles a day run. Overall its a good product. Does not cause my glucose to go too low."


"I take 2.5mg and have taken it for 14 years. It does stop the pain in 15 minutes but I feel like I have the flu after and lately a lot of bladder pain, urinary infections every 6 months and urinating a lot with loss of urinary control. I am 65 years old and have had migraines forever.
Does anyone experience bladder issues? Is it because i have been on it so long and it is hurting the bladder?"


"I was on Lutera for 2 years until I switched 3 months ago to Aviane. I stopped taking Lutera because my pharmacy no longer carried it. I am going to find a pharmacy that does carry it. Every so often I would spot between periods on Lutera, but now that I've experienced the mood swings of Aviane I don't mind a little spotting. I would recommend Lutera."


"I was in the hospital for a week in January with colitis.  Was prescribed Amitiza when I was released, 2 capsules per day of 240mcg.  I started taking the med. and after 3 days I was having very lose bowel movements 4 or 5 times a day.  I had also been told to go on the Mediterranean diet.  I only had nausea the first couple of days.  I finally learned to take the med. only once  a day and did so for a week.  I started skipping the med for 1 day and then 2 days.  I started having regular bowel movements every morning so (with the Dr.'s approval) I only take the medicine as needed. If you follow the directions VERY CAREFULLY some of the symptoms will go away,  I am a 79 year old extremely active man."


"It has stopped the muscle spasms from a disc in my back. Finally had a good nights sleep."


"Well I'm 34 yrs old and been fighting with my blood pressure for about three years now. Partially because I was in denial about my condition and didn't want to take any medication. Well I started having headaches and chest pain and I needed to take something. My doctor put me on metoprolol 25mg and it kept my blood pressure down to a normal level but the side effects I couldn't take. Headaches, bad abdominal pains. I had to switch to something else. I've been on carvedilol 6.25mg for two days and I think its starting to work. I had pains in my chest and neck for about a week and its starting to slowly go away. If you smoke it's a bad idea to do it while on this medicine. I smoked for 14 yrs and this medicine forced me to stop and I'm thankful and healthier."


"THIS is the most vile, disgusting, putrid thing I've ever had to drink.  I did this 10 years ago, and it wasn't like this.  Literally almost threw it back up.  Oh and I'm not done...one more to drink.  THIS should've been used in the middle ages as torture!!!"


"I take lamotrigine for a few months up to 100mg twice a day. I was having 4 or 5 seizures. At this dose for 3 weeks, my seizures have reduced to 3. So far, so good."


"I was prescribed Creon for EPI.   While on this medication I experienced very little, if any, relief from my symptoms.  The side effect were horrendous - headache, hot flashes, coughing,  memory issues (straining to remember words) and joint pain in my upper leg and tail bone.  Within 24 hours of stopping the medication ALL side effects disappeared."


"Lexapro has given me my life back. Now I'm back to work, back at the gym, socializing, running errands - all things that for the past year I could not do. I feel more at ease with life in general and my depression has also lifted. My husband has noted that I'm much easier to get along with and in turn he is happier. I've tried other meds in the past but this has worked wonders for me. I started on 5mg then after 2 months I went to 10mg. No weight gain at all, sleeping better and smiling more."


"Felt a bit groggy at first but now I'm good! Mood swings cut way down now that I'm sleeping!"


"I was diagnosed a Narcoleptic at 11 and have, in the past 54 years, eaten amphetamines...Ritalin, Provigil, Nuvigil, tried GHB therapy...any number of variations of stimulating drugs...ALL with the same result: they all work to a degree...then fail as my body adapts to them; and none, working at its best, would be considered to promote a "normal" pattern of sleep and wakefulness. I'm using Nuvigil at the moment; and, while I know it will ultimately fail, the effect is of relatively transparent action - wakefulness, with occasional moments of connectedness, awareness of an extraordinary degree. I can see why it would be easily abused, or combined with other substances for abuse. Space limitations at this site: I will make another post soon."


"IT works! Gave it a 9/10 because while it gets rid of most acne, you can find a small pimple or two every once in a while. Most of the people complaining that it doesn't work have only been taking the product for a month or less, and for it to really work you need to give 3 months. It gives an initial 'acne-fighting' power, then I broke out again, and then by the 3 month mark my face was perfect. Great medicine, highly recommended."


"I had a breakout of shingles on my abdomen.  Took this medicine and the pain and itching went away within a couple of days.  I would recommend this to anyone that has Shingles."


"I have been taking Bydureon for several years. Prior to Bydureon my A1C was 9.2. It's now 6.4. It took about 6-8 months but the bumps did disappear. The other side effects are now very minimal. I do get bad GI effects if I over eat...but that's a good deterrent. Over three years and still loving it!"


"I've only been taking this medication for a week so I can't say whether or not it will work, but so far side effects have been anxiety heightened more than before, which is the primary reason for me taking it. I wake up in full blown panic, and it's happened throughout the day as well. I have a lack of appetite, and cannot sleep through the night. At one point I even had suicidal thoughts, which I have never had in my life. Keep in mind this medication affects everyone differently."


"So far, so good!  I had never been on birth control before and had read some horror stories about birth control, specifically this kind.  The first few days, I had awful migraines -- after that, everything went completely back to normal.  I feel like myself; in fact, I think my moods (especially around my period) are much more level than in the past.  Some tenderness, little nausea, but nothing that I can't handle.  I highly recommend this birth control and enjoy being on it!"


"Tried this medication twice hoping it would help. Could not take the side effects; frequent urination, anxiety, depression, swollen glands, chest congestion, sweating and chills, and acne. Gave it 1 month and had to stop once realized the connection to my unusual symptoms and the medications side effects"


"I have Addison's disease we had tried all conventional medications. I got this injected by the ER and told my dr that even though they gave it to me for anxiety I didn't vomit or get nauseous for 24 hrs."


"I will NEVER take this again. I just started taking it and everything was fine and I loved it. I got to about halfway through my second month and all hell broke loose. I had the WORST period I had ever had. I never had cramps or heavy needing until this pill. I continuously had blood clots and wouldn't stop bleeding for over a month. I kept taking it until my 3rd month and after that it still continued. No stopping. So I stopped taking it and then had an even worse period and had to go to the doctor due to bleeding a way abnormal amount. NEVER again."


"Very little effect on pain."


"I have been recently having bad acne for a year now, I went to my dermatologist and they prescribed epiduo. For the first week it worked great and really helped with my acne. But during the second week thats when it started to get bad. After I would use it my skin would burn and it hurt so bad that I was in tears. Nothing helped the burning but applying ice too it. It also made my face very red and my skin started to flake off. I don't tend to have sensitive skin either... would not recommend"


"Here is the trouble with these sites - the skew towards horror stories.  There is also a handful who claim that statins are "poison" and "should be taken off the market".  This is, clearly, an overreaction by those who have the adverse reaction, which - despite what you would think from reading these reviews - are very low frequency events.  Statins are probably as close to a wonder drug as modern pharmacology has ever gotten.  Yes, there are those who are intolerant, allergic, or simply confused as to the genesis of their symptoms.  The truth is, statins work for the vast majority of people taking them, and they work well.  Having said this, I am also perplexed as to why some folks in their later 70s or even 80s are taking them?"


"Causes major headaches for me."


"I'm a 36 year old male with GAD and was prescribed 150mg of Venlafaxine for GAD and depression and was on it for 3 years. It helped with my anxiety really well but made me way too sedated and I was constantly tired.
Sex Drive went way down and the kicker is that we found out that it was decreasing my testosterone levels as well as my thyroid. I don't think it effect my levels for the first year or so, not that I noticed. I am an athlete so I could see major effects on the field about 1.5 years in and it felt like I had aged 10 years. Once I stopped the meds all my T levels went back to normal values.
Everybody is different and it worked from an anxiety aspect but the side effects were not worth for me."


"Well this was my first experience with any birth control and I am not a fan.  I feel bloated, stomach feels weird, back cramps, cystic acne. And the worst part would be the mood swings.  I can get so angry and frustrated and little things .  I get depressed but not in a kind of sad way but in a hopeless will anything ever change, life is messed up.  It's really hard.  I didn't gain weight but lost 15 pounds and I only weighed 125 before hand.  I have had it for about three months, getting it removed Monday.  My arm is still sore from the implant but that's not a huge deal to me.  Wouldn't really recommend it."


"I had Implanon inserted in Nov 10, painless procedure.  I felt my mood was affected LESS than any other method I've tried (pill, IUD).  No weight gain, in fact lost some weight.  But there is a bad side, after insertion, I had variable bleeding from Nov 10 to May 11, 6 months straight.  Some days were very light, others heavy, with no pattern.  Doctor said to wait it out.  Period stopped June, July, August, but returned in Sept and has been ongoing for a month straight, heavy flow.  I feel this pushes the limits of 'irregular bleeding'. I love not being moody, but feeling run down."


"I'm a 32 yr young woman, who at the age of 11 was diagnosed with a severe spine disorder (scoliosis), it was also affecting my vertebra, they were turning in causing my ribs to crush my lungs. My doctor said I had a year or so to live. I was slowly suffocating. So at 12 yrs old I had 2 herrington rods put in on each side of my spine. From neck to tush! The pain then wasn't to bad, that I remember, but now at 32 some days I can't even move (WINTER-IDAHO). But 2 yrs ago I started using diazepam and at first I slept a lot, but as time has passed I have a great life. I myself cannot play sports but I can sit on a metal bench for 3 to 4 hours and enjoy watching my 4 boys play sports. Take as prescribed and tell your doctor if it's not helping."


"While I love how dependable the Implanon is and it is painless and thoughtless, every woman's body is different. I had my period for 2 weeks every month and then I would spot for 2 weeks and then have maybe a week without bleeding and then it would start again. You have to weigh what is the most important to you and if not having to worry about taking a pill or inserting a birth control method inside your every month is what matters to you then honestly this is the way to go. I had no weight gain and no mood swings. "


"I  have PCOS and worked for years on diet and exercise to regulate my period. But never was able to get to regular to where I could predict it. For about nine months prior I was taking metformin to help and I lost about 16 pounds with it. So My gyn recommended taking birth control to help regulate my cycle.  My period became regular to between 22-24 day cycle.  However I had intense bloating and crazy food cravings, that I have never had before.  My mood swings changed to the point where some months I would be really depressed and down.  Around the 3 or 4 month of being on the pill I started having severe break through bleeding that lasted between cycles and eventually did go away. Once that stopped I was experiencing severe indigestion."


"This is a rare medication that does exactly what it's supposed to do (lower BP) with absolutely no side effects."


"I started having extreme joint pain almost overnight and was like that for over 2 weeks.  The Doctor put me on Celebrex, 2 pills 2 times a day for 5 days with 1 pill once a day since.  I feel so much better and no side effects, not even an upset stomach. I'm so happy there is a pain medication that is not a steroid or narcotic."


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


"Just started my pills on 3/31/16 and seems like it may be working not too sure. I feel hungry at night not during day I drank a protein shake this morning and as soon as I went to lay down I was starving. I ate a oatmeal I will update when I loose weight I'm currently 279 and need to loose 30 pounds by June 3rd"


"I have been dignosed with Hypothyroidism since 2010, my weight has never changed. I've been taking this medicine and no difference in 5 years. I spoke with my doctor and she tells me to continue to take it and referred me to a lady to do the HCG which cost too much money for me to do. Instead of her looking more into my condition and trying another medication. I have scheduled an appointment with another doctor to get help."


"I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome in 2011 and my doctor put me on Ocella. After about two years on it, I became so irritated and unhappy with everything I switched (Ocella is horrible). I called my doctor and explained that Ocella was making my hormones go crazy, so she switched me to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. I've been taking it for probably 6 months now and everything is great! My periods are really light, they've went from three days to two days, which worries me a little bit but my Doctor said this can happen after being on the pill for so long. I haven't gained any weight, my slight acne has cleared, & my breasts have jumped about one cup size! I also barely notice myself getting irritated anymore. So far, so good! This pill has been great for me."


"I rated this a 4 because it has been in my arm since December 17th, 2012, and just a few months it finally comes out. I have had nothing but trouble with this thing. My first period on it was 3 months long. 3 MONTHS LONG! I was told that my periods would be lighter, and less time, as a week was my normal. Oh no. Not anymore. When it comes its at LEAST 2 weeks. These past 2 months have been horrendous. I was on 3 weeks, with super bad cramps, off ONE WEEK and its been 2 weeks on again and the cramps are horrifying. I was told several times to let my body adjust, its normal... Its been 2 and a half years, and I'm not dubbing this 'normal'. This thing cannot come out soon enough. It worked on the not getting pregnant part."


Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IV, Elevated VLDL

"I have been taking Niaspan ER 2000mg for three months.  I am scheduled to get my first lab tests to determine its effectiveness on lowering my elevated Lpa level and whether my liver function is okay.  I have noticed that the medicine needs to be taken by 930 or 1000pm.  If I take the medication too late in the evening, I still can feel the effects of Niaspan when I get up for work the next morning.  I also noticed that taking it with water alone, causes the symptoms to be much worse than taking it with a small glass of milk or snack.  So I take it before 10pm with a small glass of milk or snack, and there seems to be very little symptoms."


"I switched from Yaz (I was on it for 2 years) to Tri-Sprintec this month because of all the warnings. I think I would have rather suffered the blood clots and heart attacks than gone on this if I knew what was going to happen! About a week in I started getting really REALLY bad acne (just in time for spring semester!) like worse than I've ever had. And not just on my face, on my back and chest too, which hasn't happened since middle school. I've gained a lot of weight in the worst places even though I've been going to the gym more and eating better and I SWEAR my breast size has actually gone down. I feel so unattractive I don't even want my boyfriend to touch me. "


"I was on loestrin for about 5 years until I decided to take a break and get off the pill. Although my skin was clear and it was effective at basically eliminating my period and most cramping, DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. It gave me horrible mood swings, anxiety and made me irrational, unreasonable and angry (basically insane) - which I didn't realize until I stopped taking it. I honestly thought I was just me until I got off and felt much more like myself. I've been happy and upbeat ever since."


"Suboxone changed my life!  Is it that magic pill that everyone is looking for that solves all of our problems?  No. If you don't change things about yourself, and or  change your behavior, you'll just be a drug addict with character defects on Suboxone.  If you are an addict, like me, then you know what its like to be a slave to a drug.  Its an insane,  non-stop,  & endless quest to get our drug of choice every day.  Suboxone makes it possible to not live that way.  Wish they had generics though."


"yes I find this drug ok for my condition. Thankfully I haven't experienced any side effects at moment. I have lost weight and pain has been reduced."


"Lamictal along with Abilify has been a lifesaver for me.  No antidepressant would work for me and I was feeling hopeless.  I started taking Abilify and felt a little better. Once my doctor added Lamictal, I was back to my old self.  I most note that you have to titrate up on the medicine no sooner than every 2 weeks.  Once I hit the 100mg mark I started to feel better."


"Terrible... Gave it a 3 because yes it works but also gave it only a 3 because of the TERRIBLE side effects. Gained about 40+ pounds in 6 months which is crazy, mood swings, complete and total loss of sex drive, headaches and had a period for 3 weeks and it was completely irregular. The cons out way the pros here. Yes it works as a birth control but do you really"


"I'm 23 and was on Microgestin for 4  years. The only major side effect I experienced was not getting my period at all for the last 3 of those years. My doctor explained that it's not uncommon for Microgestin to thin the lining of the uterus so much that there's nothing left to shed, and although I certainly wasn't going to complain, it was still kind of weird. Zero cramps, headaches, nausea, spotting, mood swings, weight change, or change in sex drive. The only down side was that my face broke out about halfway through my pill pack every month; not really terrible acne, just annoying pimples. I've since switched to Ocella and seen a huge improvement in my skin, although I got my period again the first month I switched. "


"I have a terminal illness, kidney failure. the times that I've needed to calm down, easy worry, and calm my tight muscles-valium is the solve. I've been taking it for almost 4 years, without additiction or compulsion to "have to have it." When my back is against the wall with all my medical situations, this drug has provided for my lifestyle very well. thanks to all for sharing honestly on this site."


"My partner and I finally decided to try some alternate methods of birth control. Nuvaring was my first choice because I'm too forgetful to try pills and I must say I've had a mixed experience. I love the fact that I can insert it and forget about it. I don't feel it during sex and it doesn't slip out. It got rid of my reoccurring yeast infections, I even grew a cup size. However, I can't help but notice that I've gained weight especially around my waistline which almost never happens, and my sex drive has decreased. I exercise regularly so I know it had to be the hormones. I experience extreme mood swings, I'm a lot more angry, I find myself depressed, have random urges to cry and my periods are just as painful as before. I just may switch soon."


"I completely stopped having panic attacks after taking this medication for a few months. I had become house-bound by several debilitating panic attacks every day.  I have been on Paxil for close to a year, and it is still working.  Side effects I experienced were bruising for the first few months.  I also experienced numbness and tingling (my arms and legs started falling asleep all the time).  I began taking magnesium supplements and the tingling stopped.  I am still experiencing weight gain and tiredness and constant yawning, as well as decreased focus and memory.  I am also unable to orgasm, which is strange for me because I used to be able to reach orgasm very easily.  Overall, I can work and live again so it's worth the side effects."


"This has worked great for me. Manages my pain well and my only side effect is feeling sleepy towards evening. I've taken it for over four years and am now reducing daily dosage with pain still managed well."


"Lo Loestrin has worked great for me. My sex drive is slightly increased, if anything. No side effects."


"I've had the paragard for 10 years, having it removed tomorrow bc it's time. I'm not replacing it bc I no longer need birth control. I'm apprehensive about the removal bc putting it is was excruciating. Mind bending pain during insertion. But it was worth it. I've had 10 years of worry free birth control that I didn't have to think about. I would absolutely recommend paragard to my daughter in the future"


"I took accutane for about 6 months, on the 5th month I noticed significant changes to my skin. By the end of the 6th month my face was completely clear and I was only left with scarring. It has been 3 and a half year since I have taken accutane, I can say with certainty that it was the best decision I made for my skin, even my scarring has almost disappeared. After my acne cleared up I was  more confident and didn't even feel the need to wear any makeup like I did prior to this medication. The only bad side effect I got from this drug was extremely dry/chapped lips and skin, to the point where  my lips would bleed from dryness. I would suggest putting a heavy moisturiser and chapstick on every day."


"Probably the worse drug ever made. No help at all from panic attacks or anxiety. Tried the drug for months and all I got from it was vertigo."


"I started the shot when I was 17 about to be 18. I am now 20 about to be 21. Very effective at preventing pregnancy. However, I have terrible mood swings, migraines, and weight gain. When I started taking Depo I was the healthiest I have ever been. Slowly but surely I put on the pounds and my depression became unbearable! The first year I didn't gain much, maybe ten pounds and went from a size 4 to a size 6. I weighed 135, now I weigh about 170. It's horrendous! I just switched birth control yesterday, so I hope it treats me better than Depo Provera!"


"Try taking this pill with warm water. It helps dissolve it more quickly and it doesn't get stuck."


"I was prescribed Nucynta 100mg 4x day after years of being on Hydrocodone, tramadol as well as oxycodone for back pain from 3 previous disc fusion surgeries. I have to say that Nucynta did relieve my pain but for only maybe 1 1/2 hours at the most. The side effects are horrible, head ache, stomach discomfort, "trippy" feeling, just to name a few. I would also like to add that I was not in withdrawal from opiates when I took this medication, even though I was having mild withdrawals from the years of Tramadol use and Nucynta did help me with the withdrawal symptoms, somewhat. Even though I do not want to continue opiate usage any longer Nucynta is not the solution for my pain. "


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


"Day 3 no dramatic mood swings so far. My back hurts pretty bad but not intolerable we will see how this goes"


"I find that I like Geodon.  I take it with Depakote and these drugs have helped my Tourette's  Syndrome and some depression.  I have taken other medications that did not do as well."


"I really don't understand how people can recommend to use a specific BC brand.... It doesn't make sense at all!!!!! The only right way is to see your Gyn and see what she/he says. Everything is so personal, our bodies and organisms are different. If something works for you, doesn't mean it will work for someone else (or the opposite way). I am trying to switch to another BC right now and going to my doctor soon so she can prescribe what will work the best personally for myself."


"Excedrin is the only thing that works for my tension headaches. I haven't used anything else since I found Excedrin!"


"I am 40 and have had psoriasis since kindergarten. I have tried every drug and treatment under the sun. I was hesitant to try Enbrel because of the side effects listed on the commercial. My psoriasis became so bad, after speaking with doctor who assured me side effects were rare I tried it. WOW! I am in week five and the psoriasis on my stomach, which was the most severe, are nearly gone. My rear end is clear. My scalp looks better. I have many, many small ones on my legs and they aren't as red or as thick. My elbows still have psoriasis but not as thick. The only side effect I can see is that my foot twitches every once in a while and I can't honestly say it is the medication. I LOVE this. Only con, in the beginning the injection hurt."

"I've been on this for two packs, and just started my 3rd pack yesterday. Sprintec has been really amazing! I have been on other birth control before that just made me feel crappy the whole time I took it. I did have lots of breast pain and tiredness the first month, but it's great now. It also mostly eliminated the horrible severe cramps I used to get with my period. I love this birth control!"


"I started on 10mg off citalopram when I was 16, they had zero effect so they upped me to 20mg of fluoxetine which made my severe depression worse, my brother was also prescribed fluoxetine and we both experience and major increase in suicidal thoughts whilst on them so I went back to the doctor. He then prescribed me with sertraline 50mg. The first few weeks of taking them were a nightmare, I'd wake up and take the tablet with my breakfast and I'd finds myelf being exhausted all then time and then I'd struggle to sleep at night.  My partners mum is on sertraline 100mg and she said that the best thing to do is take them half an hour before you go to bed because the tiredness  effect doesn't take long to kick in. Now I feel a lot happier"


"Here's what I have gathered so far.

My quick background:
doctor prescribed visatril and 20mg prozac.

* I take 50mg every 4 hours
* I have really bad hand tremors but I always have a slightly shaky hand so it doesn't bother me too much.
* I also get sensitive hands because I can't stop squeezing my hands together and rubbing on it.
* super dry mouth/constant thirst
* easier time singing
* I take 2 to sleep

Along with other symptoms. But honestly being able to get out of bed and be able to say hi to my husband and greet teachers at my kids school without wanting to die is well worth the side effects.

Although I think the side effects are just my body getting to do what it wants to do without my anxiety trying to suppress it"


"I took this at the very first tingling feeling that told me a cold sore was forming. I've been taking 2 pills a day for 2 days now and my cold sore is not even visible. There is little to no irritation (with the help of some cream) and no redness or blistering. Best treatment I've ever used on my cold sores!!"


"This is very effective, but TAKE ONLY RIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. I did not do this once and ended up sleep walking to my car, driving and rear ending someone. I had no memory of doing this - only found out details by reading the police report. Take only as prescribed."


"Only been taking it for a week, but have noticed my mood stabilize. Experiencing, some of the side effects listed like muscle spasms, back pain, blurred vision, and difficulty moving my eyes at times."


"I am updating my previous review from 1/19/2017. I have now up to the full dose of Contrave
(2  morning, 2  night). I have never experienced ANY stomach upset, ANY headache, or any other listed side effect except I noticed on the first day when I up my dose I am extremely fatigued but was fine within 24 hours. I've quit craving an evening cocktail, sugar, and fast food and I stop eating when I'm full rather than stuffed. The 4-pill regimen has only been for about a week but I can certainly tell a difference. I will post an update when I notice any changes."


"I have been taking Junel Fe 1.5/30 for many years (switched from Loestrin to Microgestin, this is my second generic version). I LOVE this pill. It has not caused any negative side effects for me, and always made my period very light and short (2-3 days long). I sometimes skip my period week on purpose by moving on to the next pill pack early instead of taking the placebo pills for a week. However, after skipping on purpose a couple of times in a row, I have now not had a period for 4 months WITHOUT skipping my placebo pills! I was very concerned but have taken pills regularly and taken many pregnancy tests and am NOT pregnant. I have heard from others this brand is known to cause light or no periods."


"I take only 5mg a day but it works for my mild ADD.  This gives me great concentration and I can get things done.  Without this, I can't even read an article in a newspaper.  This is my life saver.  The only catch is I get tense TMJ from this.  But I lived with it as the benefit outweigh the side effect."


"I have been on Femara for 9 months.  First few months were tolerable, as time progresses, I am miserable.  In beginning, I experienced nausea and diarrhea.  As this went away, the bone and joint pain began.  I would be awakened from my sleep in tears, as my hips would ache just from lying in bed.  My hands/fingers hurt to make a fist, or do any type of extended writing.  My knees ache horribly.  When I get out of bed in the morning, I need to stand still for at least 2 or 3 minutes until I can get my legs to work.  Same thing when sitting for any length of time.  I am 45 and feel like I am 85.  "


"I love it not having to take a pill everyday! It's amazing so far. I've been on it for 3 weeks now. I haven't tried having sex yet because my doctor told me to wait. I hated take the pill and Yaz and Tri-Sprintec made me so depressed, moody and I had no sex drive. No mood swings yet and I start next week. My sex drive is getting better so wish me luck."


"I have tried different medications (Diladuids, Percocet ) as I have had 2 knee replacements and another because 1 became infected. Vicodin has been better because of fewer side effects."


"If you have an opiate addiction, this medicine is the way to go! I tried rehabs, meetings, everything! Suboxone is the only thing that kept me clean. It takes away the desire to use, which is a miracle. I have no regrets by choosing the Suboxone program. It saved my life."


"Very effective for treating respiratory allergy symptoms & congestion. But the side effect of prostate swelling limits its use."


"Agonizing bloating and cramping after the first dose. Couldn't straighten enough to walk at some points. Didn't take second dose, couldn't face the thought of it. Headache."


"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."


"I have a long history of IBS-D, which has grown worse in the past few years after undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.  The diarrhea has become severe and daily, and without lomotil, I could rarely leave my house.  It has helped tremendously, and I don't seem to have any significant side effects.  I try to take no more than one pill a day, in the morning, and it usually keeps me diarrhea-free until late afternoon, depending on what I eat for lunch.  Some days, it holds me all day.  I am very grateful for this drug, because nothing else I've tried has worked at all."


"I was switched to this when I moved from college and I've experienced pros and cons of this birth control. It is free (covered by my insurance) as to where my previous one was not. My skin is SO CLEAR now. And I mean not one spot of acne compared to before when my skin was breaking out all the time. It hasn't helped me too much with the pain though which is my only complaint. Overall, I'm partial to this now."


"I think it's a great medicine but I only take it as needed since its so fast acting. "


"Works great!  Wish price was cheaper getting difficult to afford. $270 for 5 pills."


"After several uses of this effective medication I started having a sense of dizziness, shortness of breath and shaking.  Now if I use it just once I have an occurrence of the same symptoms.  I think I have an allergy to Bactroban which gets worse every time I use it."


"My depression and anxiety nearly killed me and after being in denial I decited to seek help. Lexapro literaly saved my life. I was on a treatment for 6 months and i felt fine after that but unfortunately I had a relaps a year later and I'm back on it again. Unfortunately mental disorders run in my family so this is more genetic than anything in my case. But this medication helps me run my life and feel normal."


"Xanax has been a life saver! Just recently had a heart attack and had my 4th stent put in. Was still having chest pains which obviously scare me when I have them. The tricky part is separating the chest pains from anxiety which I have been diagnosed with. What a vicious cycle!"


"The Ativan gave me relief from the anxiety that was caused by and affecting the Dystonia. However it didn't treat the Dystonia itself and I ended up having to up my dose all the time and eventually quit taking it because I realized it wasn't treating the root problem."


"I have depression I suffered for many years in the dark big time. I was too scared to say anything. I finally had to say something. I am a male of course (got to hide those feelings). Things were getting very very bad. I talked to my doctor and a shrink and got me on 20 mgs of Paxil 15 years ago and it really does help with the hell I felt within for years. Please be patient. Hang in there one day at a time if I can do it you can too. I was really bad from what docs say. It takes time to adjust to the medicine but well worth it. Drinking and not taking reasonable care of yourself won't help at all. Live a cleaner life does make a difference. No guilt. The side effects are for me constipation and a bit of brain fog."


"I had 17 surgeries on hands,arms,elbows,and shoulders,11 on the right side the rest on left side, I have very chronic pain nerve damage on both hands elbows,arms and shoulders, I take 1 nucynta and 2 Roxicodone every 6 hour,the pain is about a 10 real bad and when I take this meds goes down to around 5 or 6,it helps a lot, I would recommend this, I'm disable it help me to function wish it would help more but doesn't have to much side effects, I've been taking them for a few years you get some nausea but take sofran for that, what I don't like is the government trying to tell us to cut down, I take 4 nucyntas and 6 Roxicodone a day,thats the most I can cut down to,because of my chronic pain,the people that are hurt are the ones that suffer."


"I have been on this drug for 7 years. It is the only medication that works for the intense pain. I am on a very strong dose. 1200 mg 3 x daily and even taking this dose I still have some break through pain (spring and fall). The only side effect I dont like is getting tired. However, I would rather that than the pain."


"I’m giving it a 5. That is 5 points for effectiveness and 0 for ease of use. It tastes like stomach bile with flint stone vitamin flavor. I have not had any other colonoscopies so I’ve nothing to compare it to. I couldn’t do it again though, I assure you of that. I’ve only made it to this site to seek moral support for the poor souls that have gone before me with this kit."


"Let me start by saying (1) I'm compulsive in terms of researching everything (2) I get the worst cold sores known to man and my lip blows up about 4x.  With all that said, Valtrex is the real deal.  A cold sore is a Virus (as I'm sure you all know by now) that injects its own foreign DNA into your cells which in turn mutates them which is why you get a cold sore - the way Valtrex works is by blocking the viruses ability to inject its own DNA into your cells.  So, if you take Valtrex at the FIRST sign of "tingling", you may never develop a cold sore. I on the other hand developed a sore this past Tuesday (took Valtrex too late), have been taking Valtrex every 12 hours since, and it is now Friday, my lip is fully deflated and scabbed."


"After a year of having my daughter I had postpartum symptoms and went straight to doctor because after my son 5 yrs earlier I waited and it was truly a nightmare, worst thing that had happened to me. Effexor really helped then but took longer to work because I was so sick. Effexor is a life saver and this time it worked right away....I didn't wait so long."


"I am 18 but I have been taking vyvanse since I was 16 years old at 70mg and still taking the same dose. It is 100% better than concerta XL it has changed my life

The appetite is not the worst thing I just get really dehydrated and not notice it I can eat after taking it ( 4h after taking it)

"Hello everyone, I got my explanon on 7/27/15. Almost a year. I thought it be amazing to get. But now I'm getting g this thing removed. I have really bad mood swings. This thing has made me gain weight. I haven't really changed my diet. I feel like this thing makes you go insane. Your like bi polar on it, but your not. I can't even. Stand myself. I'm making my husband upset the way I act. This explanon is not something anyone show up In there body. It put to much hormones in your body. That's why it causes emotional imbalance."

"I was on Yaz for about 2 years. I started it after I had my son. It was wonderful for a while, but recently I started getting anxiety attacks. It was horrible. My doctor put me on Paxil for the anxiety. I realized that while I was taking both medicines, I felt extremely depressed. I wasn't sure if it was the Paxil or the Yaz, but I was late starting my new pack this last month, and I noticed I felt amazing. So I decided that it was the Yaz interacting with the Paxil. I made the decision to stop Yaz and continue with Paxil because as anyone with anxiety attacks knows, they are unbearable. I would still recommend Yaz, as long as you aren't taking anything else that would affect your mood/hormones."


"I took this for a chlamydia infection after my first, and stupidly, unprotected encounter in 6 years. I had very mild itching and irritation in the urethra, and after my test came back positive, my doctor prescribed me 1000mg of powder, which I took as directed. Everything got better but a month later, the irritation came back, but more  mild than the first time.  I waited a week just to make sure it wasn't just me being paranoid, and tested positive AGAIN.
I just took my second 1000mg powder dose with water, as directed. Getting a little concerned now.
I suffer from IBS and normally have stomach cramping and diarrhea, so I don't know if I'll notice the side effects."
