"I have had mine in since May 08 after I had my 2nd child. Everything was fine no period at all but that was probably because I was still breastfeeding. I stopped breastfeeding in 09. January 2010 I have been on my period since then!!!! At first it was every other week, now I will be off for like 3 or 4 days and I have also gained 40 pounds, extremely moody, irritable, stomach pains etc.... and drying of my scalp. I thought this was great before all these symptoms kicked in so I am going to make an appointment and get this out next week asap. This is not for me and I'm glad I found this review site because I thought it was just me!"


"I have tried all sorts of antidepressants but Wellbutrin SR has been the only one that actually gave me energy instead of making me want to take a nap every afternoon. One of the nice side effects of Wellbutrin is it helped me lose weight."


"I'm a 66 yr old healthcare executive woman, hyper active working individual whose brain does not rest like other normal persons . I am always thinking and as a CEO of a large company I never have enough time to rest my brain activity. I even sleep listening to alternative radio all night long!
I had 3 C sections and gallbladder surgeries in my 20's and 30's and I resisted the anesthesia. Yesterday  I went in for a Biopsy through a Hyperoscopic exam  and Dilation and Curettage of my uterus which was bleeding post menopause. Through the IV they administered Propofol, I went out like a light switch, and had pleasant dreams! It's been now 22 hours from my procedure and I still feel calm, sleepy and relaxed. Great unexpected experience! WOW!"


"At first when I took the shot my life was good. Just recently oct 24th I was due for another one. 2 weeks before the 24th I started to spot. Ok I though because I was due soon. It is now Nov 13th and still bleeding. Due for another shot Dec. I am so over it. It will spot for awhile and then get heavy for about 10 minutes. I am so disgusted."


"Awful. I had this inserted after my 3rd child in November 2015 for use of birth control and irregular periods. I had this removed just after 3 months because I bled (not spotted) every single day. Post removal, I have been still bleeding for 2 weeks straight. I used this device in conjunction with the pill to try to stop the spotting/bleeding and that did not work at all. I'm on my 4th pack and I still bled with the lowest dose of the pill while on the IUD. The strings also poked my partner during sex so my OB shortened them. At time of removal, he tried several times to take the IUD out because the strings were so short. Mirena should be taken off the market. This non stop bleeding is worse than I've ever experienced. DO NOT GET THIS IUD!"


"It really helps with the bad headaches from surgery.
Lets me relax to sleep. Sleep gives the strength I need to help heal. Only problem is once I take it I can't do anything else I get very tired."


"I have always been prescribed a mild steroid for my facial eczema, so I was happy to try Eucrisa as a steroid free treatment for my face. The stinging and burning is so uncomfortable that I'm not sure the results are worth it for me. The medication does help calm down flare ups and reduce any itching but the pain for the first 5 min after application is so severe on my face that sometimes I have to just wash it off and try the next day. The site pain on the body is way more tolerable, and I do recommend it for that! Maybe my face is just too sensitive but I'm going to keep trying."


"I got Nexplanon inserted approx. Dec 16, 14. And it's June 4, 15. Insertion wasn't bad, I was sore and had some bruising after.  My first 2 weeks I didn't spot or anything. Since it's been spotting and light cramps, until recently now I also have ruthless cramps and periods. No acne, I've lost weight, I've always gotten  headaches. So the only complaint is the cramping making me miserable, it's effectiveness and the type of birth control it is good enough reason for me to leave it be."


"Been on Saphris for about two months. Taste is bad but the benefits of medicine far outway that. Only side effect is slight numbness in mouth after taking pill but that goes away after about 30 minutes. No other side effects. Racing thoughts, shadows, voices, have now disappeared. First time that has happened in years. Have been able to decrease dosages of other medicines and wean off some all together. So far it has been a miracle drug for me. Feel better now than I ever have."


"I had a heart attack in 2014, my doctor put me on lipitor 10 to 40mg a day with very little effect, then 10 to 40mg or crestor with very little effect.  My LDL was 115 and HDL was 39.  Then he put me on Repatha, after 6 weeks my LDL is now 41 and my HDL is 51.   The only side effect that I have noticed is a very little bit of congestion.  Of course the big drawback from this drug is the cost.  At $14,000 a year it is going to be hard to get past the insurance company.  But it does work."


"Ridiculous price. Makes using it prohibitive. Salix should be ashamed of themselves.
Lactulose worked very well and totally affordable."


"Besides nausea this has improved my mothers life 500 percent..overall improvement wonderful."


"I'm a recovering drug addict.  I have horrible anxiety.  Atarax works great and is not addicting. I think more rehab doctors should know this about this medication."


"From Day One, the very first dose of Suboxone, I was able to quit my habit. No withdrawals at all - even the mental depression & lack of energy the Suboxone had that covered too! Never missed a moment from work (except to make my Subs appointments). I feel great and am living again. Now I'm into Month #2 of Suboxone Maintenance: 16 mg. a day, as one daily dose. The best news is my insurance covers the 'program'. So instead of chasing a high every 4 hours & wasting $300-400 a month, I take one single Suboxone dose each morning and just $8/month (!) in copay. For me a Win-Win situation.                            Side Effects: Urinary hesitation and constipation - that's all."

"Had injected into spine via epidural steroid injection RUINED LIFE!"


"I am a 60 year male with adult acne.I feel like I am reliving my teen years. My scalp, my face and my back and neck started to break out. I tried several prescription meds, when I finally used clindamycin topical gel I saw a huge difference in the condition. Now I am mostly all clear and I am also very happy. Also no side effects. I truly hope that everyone could have these results especially you teens.God bless.              truly yours, Porkchops 5/21/2015"


"Best opthalmic steroid I've used for my condition."


"This birth control made me bleed for well over 8 days and counting, it's also making me shed stuff like crazy and daily cramps. I only took it because I have horrible unbearable, intolerable cramps each month and I decided to try it to avoid the cramps and while it did calm my usual extremely painful cramps, the continued bleeding and cramps make it not worth it. The only plus I can say is that it didn't break me out like others do, in fact it may of helped my skin."


"Today was my first day taking concerta. I am 19 and have pretty severe ADHD and a little anxiety that coincides with the ADHD. I took 36mg at 8:30 am and kicked in at 10. I definitely noticed it, I felt alert and energetic but not focused, and I still found myself pretty forgetful before leaving for work. By the end of work I felt really emotionless and had a head ache, and when I got home at 6 I began crying for no particular reason. After crying I felt much better and focused very well on school work. Now I feel happier but surprised by how much of a roller coaster the whole day was. Overall I'm not sure this is the medication for me, hoping this reaction is normal and it just takes some time to adjust."


"It caused unbalance & I went unconscious"


"I suffer from chronic sinus infections, & not very many antibiotics work any more. Avelox is good but too expensive & is harder on my stomach.  I've taken Levaquin a few times and despite a little restlessness and dry mouth this antibiotic works great. I also had a sore back on the 3rd day but it went away. Also it does seem to make me hungry,  so take it with a meal. Stay away from milk they don't like each other, (calcium based foods).
This time I had the beginnings of bronchial pneumonia and after 6 of 14 I feel almost better. I will finish the 14 days. Levaquin is great."


"I have always had annoying acne which wasn't terrible but wasn't fixed by birth control. I quit taking birth control and my doctor prescribed spiro instead. I've been on it for almost two years with only one or two little pimples per cycle. I also noticed that the switch gave me a slow steady body change. I've lost about 15 pounds over the two years without any other changes in diet or exercise. It made me a little thirstier than usual, so I'm drinking more water than I used to. No other terrible side effects like others have reported though. Overall very happy with the switch and would recommend for sure."


"I have been on Implanon since November 2009. I got it just 10 weeks after I gave birth to my youngest son. Since then I've had every side effect imaginable. By the third week after having my son I had lost all and more of my baby weight, now I am the heaviest that I've ever been in my life after gaining 25 pounds. I also suffer from strange bouts of depression and of course the mood swings. I am married to the calmest most sweet man alive who is now master in the art of tip toeing around me and my anger. "


"I have been taking victoza for three weeks and have lost ten pounds but at the cost of being sick as a dog every day. Cannot eat or stand the smell food cooking. I am done with this junk as of today."


"My husband started using Spiriva last Wednesday. He was breathing easier but by Sunday, then he began having crushing tightness in his chest, difficulty breathing, pulse rates of 111, high blood pressure and chest pain. We took him to the ER because we thought he was having a heart attack. It turned out to be a severe allergic reaction to Spiriva. He won't be using it anymore. He also had dry mouth and difficulty urinating which are also side effects."


"Have had FM for a few years now and have tried every medicine out there then my doctor suggested this new medicine "Savella". I got my prescription on a Friday and the next day I was ready to go back to my old medication (Suboxone) I was a ZOMBIE! I literally slept the whole weekend and couldn't get up! So I'm back on Suboxone out of (Lyrica, Tramadol, Cymbalta, Percocet, Vicodin, Darvocet, Nsaids, Muscle relaxers, Neurontin, etc, etc, etc..) Suboxone is the only one that helped with the pain up to 75%! Good luck to all of you with Fibromyalgia...a lot of people do not understand the constant pain and everything else associated with FM. I do understand so I wish you luck!"


"I had a stress test done. The medicine does what it says it does. The only side effect I had was a headache. "


"I've been on Viibryd for 4 days for Generalized Anxiety, Mild Depression (Dysthymia). Can tell a difference already. LOVE it! Best SSRI for my body so far. Tried Lexapro, but had gastrointestinal issues. Paxil was better than Lexapro, but not 'the one' Only tried 1 dose of Cymbalta, and felt like I had the flu for 4 days (and I rarely get sick). So far, so good with this. NO side effects, but on the lowest dose (10 mg). My Dr said this is a fairly new medicine, and it seems to be getting good reviews from many people. Clearly not all things work for all people, but my experience has been good!"


"I've been on the pill for about 6 months and I've had so severe issues or complaint about this birth control. I am 22 and this was my first birth control taken and prescribed by my gyno.

I had no weight gain because I was more conscious of my cravings and I didn't binge upon them. It's always about perception and if you're going to act upon all these desires to eat, clearly you will gain a significant amount of weight. My sex drive remained the same and I'm still very sexually aroused. One obvious side effect that was prevalent would ultimately be my mood swings. I would easily turn super sensitive or get extremely irate if my boyfriend would do something or say something that made me unhappy.

Other than that, I highly recommend Aviane."


"I am 14 years old and I suffer from OAB. I constantly have the urge to use the bathroom, every second of the day. I have been taking this medicine since October. I was taking one a day until December, when I took 3 a day because it wasn't working. Now I am on 4 times a day for maybe 2 weeks and I feel absolutely no improvement. It is so frustrating because I'm in highschool, and I got to the bathroom 8 times a school day. I don't know what else to do, or if these pills will end up working at all."


"Big boned latin lady 5'1 188 pounds. One year and 51pounds gone. No more yo yo diets or cravings just feel good. Results good blood work and my doc likes the results. I like the lack of side effects as these always concern me. Sleep well and just alittle dry mouth the first month. Highly recommend you become the new you now."


"I am allergic to a lot of antibiotics (and always get side effects!) and get sick a lot. I used to take Z-Packs almost once a month and now I wonder why I hadn't tried Levaquin sooner! This is my 3rd time on Levaquin this year. I took it twice for my chronic ear infection with success. The first time my joints felt like I was an arthritic old lady! The 2nd time I had only some ankle and finger pain. I'm on day 1 today for a urinary tract infection and ear infection from a water park. I can feel it working and I have no joint pain."


"I have been on the Nuvaring since I was 15 after my first child and now I'm going on 20. I haven't gotten pregnant, no side effects nothing. Nuvaring is the most perfect birth control ever!"

"My daughter started taking this several months ago.  Her mood swings and depression are horrendous.  The ones around her see her emotional deterioration since starting this birth control pill.  We are hoping she listens to those close to her and stops taking it."


"I frequently get yeast infections.  I've used the monistat 7 once before with no problems. Went to use it tonight and within 5 mins the itching and burning was so unbearable! I cried. Did they change something ??? After reading other reviews I guess I'm not the only one who has expierenced this.  Not sure if sucking up the next 6 nights is even worth it. Do not recommend!!!!! You are better off with the itching and buring from the yeast infection itself!"


"I am a 48 year-old woman with bi-polar I disorder.  A year ago last fall I was severely depressed. In the hospital they put me on 20 mg. Geodon for depression and 10 mg. trazedone for sleep.  I was already on 1000 mg Tegretol.  At first this combo was a lifesaver and I felt the best I have felt in years - even became slightly hypomanic and over-the-moon happy.  Then 4 months in my mood swung to a deep suicidal depression so I went back in the hospital for 2 weeks and they upped the Geodon to 40 mg then 80 mg and the anxiety and insomnia became so bad they gave me the max they could with sleep meds and I left the hospital worse than ever.  Anxiety so bad I had to take clonazepam to counteract.  Would not take again."


"Diagnosed with Type A influenza on Wednesday morning with symptoms starting Tuesday night. Started Tamiflu at 4 pm on Wednesday and 24 hours later I have only cold symptoms. I am very tired but I'm also 25 weeks pregnant. Very thankful for Tamiflu and would recommend it to anyone. Only downside is the COST!"


"This has worked very well for me. Am able to get things done without being all over the place, and actually feel great overall."


"I have severe pain from spinal stenosis through my neck, right shoulder, arm and hand.  Dr. prescribed Tramadol for this pain.  I  used the drug as directed with little relief from the intense pain.  The prescription called for 1 to 2 pills every 4 to 6 hours.  I took two pills every 4 hours, for 10 days, that's a total of 60 pills with very little effect.  I do not recommend this drug.  Lack of effectiveness can cause you to take more of the medication than you should and increases the addiction risk."


"I am 15 and a half, and I have been on Accutane for about one month now, and I have noticed my acne has gotten terribly worse. I'm breaking out all around my mouth, which was not my problem area when I was not on it. I have had bad back pains, but I am a dancer, so I don't know if its from that, or the medicine. I recently went to the dermatologist, and he upped my dose from 40 mg to 60 mg. Besides dry lips, I have not had any other side effects. My skin wasn't even drying out, which is one reason why my dermatologist upped the dose. I really hope my skin starts clearing up soon."


"Taking for almost 2 years and half...1 mg everyday for anxiety, panic dis order and insomnia: RIVOTRIL!! its wonder medicine!"


"I have spondylosis of the whole spine and lumbar degeneration. I've been on Lyrica for a few months 75mg 3 times a day. It helps my range of motion at my knees, helps to walk up stairs, and also no pain when push for bowl movement."


"I've been on the patch for the last four months. It has been the best medication I have been on. Had a spinal fusion L-5 S-1 in 07 it was a failed surgery. I've been on every medication you can think of. This patch stays in place for the whole seven days. I also use gabapenton, diclofenac and Lortab. I like it that it does not make you feel like you are out of it. I can function normally all week long."


"I have had Implanon since October 2010, a month after my son was born. I gave it a try because one of my friends had it and it worked great for her. I love it. I don't have to worry about anything and I haven't had a period since I've been on it. But I do have to say this about it about 2 weeks or so ago (I've had it for a little over a year now). I've been getting some of the not so good side effects (mood swings, depression, headache, some weight gain). I do love Implanon and I'm sad that I have to get it out but I have to do what feels right to me. I would recommend this though."


"I was on Levora for a year and absolutely loved it. Never a negative side effect. I'm finishing my second month on Chateal and have gained weight, experienced extreme mood swings. Crying and yelling for no reason. I'm also cramping like crazy before my period. I'm in more pain then before the birth control. (Which was the reason I started in the first place)."


"First, the pill does work. I took it while I was on my period, so my period was longer and the cramps came back. YES, it does mess up your cycle for MORE than 3 months not just 1 or two months, but you know..every girl is different. This pill saved me but it will be a great idea to start birth control because plan b screws up your body. It was scary at first because of the bleeding and missed periods so just relax. Pill works great"


"Vyvanse has had such a positive effect for me in regards to binge eating. My binge eating started over 28 years ago. In recent years I was bingeing almost every day. Since starting Vyvanse 5 weeks ago I have not binged one single time! I admit there were a few times that I over ate but I have not binged. It is such a relief to not have to battle with food thoughts, cravings and compulsions! Food is no longer the first thing on my mind in the morning nor the last thing on my mind before I go to bed. I leave food on my plate. I eat a quarter to a third of what I ate before. When I grocery shop the foods that used to call my name almost make me gaggy now. There's such freedom in not being in bondage to food. Continued in next post..."


"Septra DS is excellent for UTI. I have been on it for three days with absolutely no side effects. My UTI has cleared up rapidly. My only criticism is that the pills are rather large and very dry that is probably why it is recommended that it be taken with lots of water."


"When I have sciatica pain in my hip I quickly eat something (protein bar often works), take two Aleve, then lay down on the floor and put my legs up on a chair. Sometimes I put an ice pack on the area also, and I lay there for 10-20 minutes and the pain almost always subsides. Then I make sure to stretch a bit so the pain doesn't return when the Aleve wears off. Aleve works GREAT when I'm in pain, but don't forget how vital it is to stretch and exercise also. "


"This works really well, but 240 mgs. is an OBSCENE amount of Psuedoephedrine. (That's 8 typical cold pills.)"


"I was prescribed Tobradex ointment to put on my eyelids after eye surgery.  I had a lot of bruising and swelling and the medication seemed to help.  No adverse side effects, but if you get it in your eye, it will blurr your vision slightly for a couple hours (I think due to the greasy consistency more than anything else).  My co-pay for a 7 day supply cost $50."


"I used this product for about 8-10 months and I haven't used it for about 7 months now and I'm sweat free! Before using this product I would have sweat stains running down my sides."


"Side effects were really unpleasant but 2 months in have lessened to some degree - as an effective anti-depressant it is the best I have ever taken. I have been on just about every anti-depressant out over the last 20 years with nothing really working and worsening depression. I started to feel a lifting in mood almost immediately and now feel "normal" which is an awesome feeling. My social phobia/anxiety has almost disappeared too which is an added bonus. Wish I had been prescribed this years ago!"


"I think that this medication is a wonderful drug. I love it couldn't do the things I do today without it!"


"I'm 25 yrs old.I been taking Loestrin 24Fe for about 9mos now for ovarian cysts. I like it. I'm not as moody, cycle only lasts for 4 days instead of 7 days, breast size was C 34 now D 40, haven't lost weight, still have headaches, nausea. This is my 9 month haven't started my cycle yet and 5 days late."


"I have never had migraines, but 5 years ago I suddenly had stroke symptoms with hemiplegia on my left side. I have very little residual from that now, but I would get twinges/pinches in 2 distinct places in my brain and was very sensitive to light, noises, movement afterwards. Any concentrating on difficult things would trigger the symptoms, not a good thing for an ICU nurse.  The only thing that controls it is 240mg ER of verapamil. With that I can work and live a normal life. I tried reducing it this year...big mistake.  My symptoms returned....it has taken me almost 2 months to get back to where I was."


"I have taken Norco on and off for my neck and back pain for years.  My stomach produces too much stomach acid and so I developed stomach problems and can no longer take those type of prescriptions orally. I couldn't take enough Norco all of the time to keep the pain under control without it making me sick anyway.  Butrans came along and now the pain is consistently under control and no stomach problems."


"I have minor Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I stayed away from meds after of my experience with Paxil 10 years ago. After two years, I decided to just live with my GAD. Fast forward to my first baby, two new jobs and alopecia areata, I saw my doctor. He said take 5mg of escitalopram and to wait 3weeks before  taking 10mg. Weeks 1-2 were bouts of ups and downs. Weeks 3-5 were where I felt a gradual progression to "normalcy". For me, 5 mg is good. side effects: weight loss due to not stress eating. I sleep great now, BUT I remember every dream and I dream almost every night now. "


"Went to ER for infection pain and this worked within 15 mins. Swelling at infection site went down somewhat in half hour it worked for me."


"I don't understand all the negative reviews. For me this pill has worked well. It's calmed me right down and has been blissful at moments. It's expensive unfortunately.

As for weight gain, I've noticed that it's pretty neutral... Granted I'm weaning off of Zoloft as well so who knows but I find with medications with 'weight gain' as a side effect just trying your hardest to eat a well balanced diet will prevent it. It's too easy to give up and say oh well I'm gonna get fat - - it's very much not the case.

Don't give up, if you're bipolar like me there's a chance you can do a lot with your brain so give it a shot and take your life back. I think much more clearly and am more productive. The overwhelming tiredness subsided after one week."


"I was prescribed clindamycin after having all my wisdom teeth cut out so that way I didn't get an infection......shortly after finishing the antibiotic I became very ill and thought I had a stomach bug! I realized it wasn't a stomach bug when my stool was a black/red color which indicates bleeding! My doctor told me that the antibiotic had given me C-Diff (clostridium difficile)! So I've been prescribed more antibiotics to get rid of the c-diff infection, weird right? lol. Anyways, if you take clindamycin and start having symptoms of what you think is a stomach bug, please go to the doctor! C-Diff can become a severe/life threatening infection!"


"I have been on accutane for five months and have not seen a single improvement in my skin. I just finished the last of my pills and I am highly disappointed. I still have red splotches all over my face and my face, neck, and chest get red very fast and very easily. Which I want to mention did not start to happen until AFTER I got on the medicine. It has made my skin so sensitive never like before. I hated this entire journey because the dermatologist filled my mind with false hopes saying this was a miracle drug and my cure all. I do not recommend anyone taking this. It's a complete waste of money and time."


"It's great for my frequent migraines"


"Drank the prep,held my nose and chugged and wow! Was it nasty! I am not fussy and am a just do it sort of person, but this stuff was foul. I sucked on an orange wedge right after.The next 32 oz were a breeze. Then came the bloating (a lot) and significant pain. I drank peppermint tea  &massaged my belly and after 40 min  I let loose, this after an extra day of liquid diet. 5 hrs later and still gurgling and gas(running for the loo each time)  still not clear. I have a 12noon appt and am supposed to take my next dose at 8 am.I think I will move it to 6 am. From what I read here  people finished up pretty quickly. A not as unpleasant an experience as 10 yrs ago, but I could do without the icky flavor&  pain. Not looking forward to next dose."


"My nerve Dr prescribed this awful medication for me without knowing exactly what is wrong with me. I took 300 mg at night & woke up feeling tired, drowsy all day, headache, sore throat & I didn't even have the energy to take a shower. The side effects are not worth it. I stopped taking it after 5 days. I would rather deal with my pain than to take this med.  Do Not take this drug. It is awful."


"I had the Implanon inserted in 2010 when I was 17 years old. Insertion procedure fine. I experienced a little spotting for the first 6 weeks which was normal. After this I had no periods and virtually no side effects for 3years. I loved this contraception so much that I immediately put a second one in when my 3 years were up. I kept the second Implanon in for 2 years and decided to take it out as I was beginning to get unpredictable bleeding (which could last for a couple of weeks) and my mood became low. I felt this was my body telling me it had had enough. However, overall I am delighted with my experience on the Implanon. For 5 years I didn't need to worry about pregnancy or periods! I have also recommended it to many of my friends."


"I have taken temazepam now for 15 years. Probably use it 4 nights a week on average but sometimes I go through periods of insomnia where I use it every night. I only take a small amount. I break 10 mg tablet into quarters. I start with a quarter and move up to a half if not asleep in 20 mins. Works well. I do feel a little tired in the morning but get going after a shower and a cuppa. It helps with feelings of anxiety caused by lack of sleep as well."


"Was so glad to have found this forum and info! Read through tons of comments and chose what I thought would work best...extremely cold water added to the medication solution, a green apple jolly rancher sucker to lick in between gulps along with a sip of ginger ale here and there. Wasn't fun but totally doable. Worked within 30 minutes!"


"I think this BC pill is OK. It makes my intestines gassy all the time. I think it also has made me gain weight. I feel swollen all the time. I get very short menstural cyles once a month."


"I am 58 years old and diagnosed last year with mild bipolar disorder, agoraphobia, anxiety.  I felt very happy most of my life although having behavioral problems, and didn't start having real problems until I was 50. I tried Wellbutrin and it gave me hives. Celexa made me so wired that I couldn't sleep and felt like I was going crazy. Effexor worked but I was tired all day.  Lamictal was miraculous. I have taken it for a year. It gives me energy, I feel happy and motivated.  I don't feel angry anymore. I LOVE it. I gave it a 9 because it gives me memory problems which I do not like. But I feel that it is really a lack of concentration. So I try harder to concentrate and it helps when I do more mental things, like read."


"Great for atopic dermatitis."


"Everyone reacts differently to medications. For me, Cipro is always a fast acting antibiotic. I've only taken it a few times for severe UTI's/kidney infections, and it helped tremendously within the first few days. With the amount of pain I've gotten from UTI's, I'd be willing to risk the crazy side effects that some people have had. I rarely take antibiotics unless I have to. This one will treat just about anything and I've only experienced a few minor side effects like nausea, dizziness, agitation, headache, fatigue, and stomach upset. Nothing too crazy."


"I switched to this pill about 7-8 months ago and it has been hell ever since. I became very depressed, anxiety was heightened, exhausted all the time, no motivation/energy, did not get out of bed, became very negative and angry, and had no libido. I would sleep for 12 hours and still be tired and take naps during the day. This affected my relationship and my boyfriend ended up leaving me due to my depression. I have now quit the birth control and I feel like a brand new person and back to my old self. Ladies, if you're having these side effects and it's affecting your relationship with your significant other, family, or friends.. do not wait it out!!!! I wish I could go back and quit the pill a longggg time ago!"


"I was on Cyclessa for three years. At first it was great, it took care of my cramping that I had week before my period. The bad news is I was very moody, no sex drive, and had a vaginal itch. I switched to Beyaz and it all stopped and life is great."


""I've had my Paragard for 5 months.I experienced spotting the following 2 days. So far I haven't had any major problems. My periods are heavier on days 2 & 3. I don't feel the Paragard at all, not even during sex. I am bipolar so I needed a none hormonal birth control. Hormones decrease the effectiveness of my medication.""


"I started this medication for Gastroparesis after 11 months of not being able to keep anything down. I noticed it helping after first two doses. I was so excited until the awful side effects started. Drowsiness to the point I couldn't function, severe stomach and back pain and bowel issues. I had to stop after 5 days in order to be able to take care of my family. So disappointed."


"I was in a recent accident. I was hit from behind. I had to go to thee emergency room. I have a Concussion, Lubosacrial Strain, Cervical Strain etc. I have not taken to much of the medication yet. I rate this medication a 8 because, it helps you sleep and it helps with the back pain very good. Not too many side effects. I have to wear a cervical collar for awhile and I was diagnosed as having Acute head Injury. I hope all will be ok. "


"Mirapex works well for me but without insurance it costs me $369.00 a month out of pocket."


"Will not stop itching, it is not meant to. What it does very well is to keep the skin medicated/lubricated so that it does not itch due to dryness alone. I had used similar meds in the 50's for childhood eczema, which is why I went to it again 60+ years later. I have yet to find something which will effectively stop itching for anything but a few minutes without deleterious effects."


"I was on this medicine for three months as my first time on birth control and ended up suffering from severe depression, making school and work very difficult.  I returned almost completely to myself when I got off the medication and have no more negative thoughts. I didn't get pregnant though, so that's a plus."


"I have been on Kariva for a few months now. I switched from Loestrin 24 FE and could not be happier. My period comes like clockwork with Kariva and I am no longer a moody, crazy person. Although my periods are not lightened by this pill I do not care, I am extremely happy with it."


"I use the Zomig nasal spray. Out of the 4 or so migraine medicines I've tried (prescription), this is the only one that works for me. It doesn't take too long to kick in, I use it, then after 30 minutes the pain starts to ease some, and I go take a nap, when I wake up, it's gone."


"Very effective medication but the taste in the mouth is absolutely brutal and I find once the infection is gone and you still need to continue, your stomach starts getting upset.. The only thing that helped me not throw up from the taste is cinnamon gum! Hope it helps :)"


"I am 70 years old and smoked for more than 50 years. Taking chantix helped me to quit. I never thought in a million years that I could quit, my family and I thank you !!!!"


"Using Monistat 3...on day 3....the intense burning/itching is almost unbearable!!  I don't know why I thought the 3rd application would be any different than the last two torturous ones!  In fact, this 3rd application is MUCH WORSE than the last 2.   Never again.  The worst part is, I don't see a significant improvement since day 1...although, I'm quite sure this "battery acid" will kill the YI and a few layers of my lining with it!"


"On generic clonezapam for 9 years.  Work great GAD, panic attack, however it is now wearing off.  I cannot get off of it due oppositional tolerance. Most doctors know little about this drug.  Orginally, meant for short term use. It is very difficult for taper.  It does serve its purpose. Just do you research."


"I am a 43 year old, female, 5'7", 130.  Been on Bystolic for about a month.  BP went from 160/113 down to 93/58 in about 2 hours in the doctors office.  Went to doctor due to dizziness and ended up with high blood pressure.  Naggy little headache, but I also had oral surgery in the last month, so not sure which one it could be.  I walk everyday for 70  minutes 14 miles.  No side effects so far."


"I'm fifteen and my doctor prescribed this for me because I have no health insurance and am unable to afford to take the proper tests to figure out the thing that is wrong with me. So far it's been okay. I'm on my second month and I have experienced spotting in the first month but I was also on antibiotics so I don't know if it's from that or not. Overall I really like this pill, it made me start my period on time and although I had painful cramping it only lasted for 4 days and was a lot lighter then usual. I'm not using this as a birth control so I can't say if it's a good contraceptive."


"I have been suffering from allergies since the beginning of time.  I am very sensitive. I take allergy medicines, allergy eye drops, get 2 shots 2 times a week.  The one thing I hate is that nasal drip.  Nothing worked for me. I have tried every nose spray from steroids to non-steroids and the co-pay was expensive.  The main issue was dripping back to my throat, the need to blow my nose a lot after use and that nasty bitter taste I get from all of them.
I saw Omnaris commercial late one night and I searched reviews.  I was hesitant, but people said it doesn't drip to the back and there was no taste.  I got a sample of this from my allergist.
AMAZING. NO DRIP, AND BEST OF ALL NO TASTE! It is the best so far. I will continue using it."


"I been on Augmentin for 7 days now. It is helping my upper respiratory infection but I'm having anxiety and very loose stools (very dark diarrhea) also my heart beats faster than normal too. I've only got 3 days left to take it. I'll be glad when it's done. I also feel fatigued and a little blurry eyes. My body is very sensitive to drugs. But despite all that I do feel it has helped with the upper respiratory problem.
I'm just ready to feel better and healthy!"


"Began Zytiga with Prednisone 4/23/14 when considered hormone resistant. Highest PSA 4/1/14: 214. Lowest PSA 3/30/15 6.0. Most recent PSA 5/4/15 8.6. Added Metformin 3/3/15. Also Lupron every three months and Xgeva monthly. Very few side effects."


"Invega is a great medication. I can speak more clearly and think more thoroughly. I've felt better about myself in almost about 2 years, and I've been on this medication for about 2 weeks! I would recommend it to anyone with this diagnosis!"


"I've been taking doxycycline for 2 years now and in that time it has been a God send. But unfortunately in the past month I have had a huge breakout, I feel very self concious at the moment. I do all I can to avoid going out, and I absolutely get so anxious on the days I have to take my daughter to school and can't rely on my husband."


"I started taking this in April 09 2009 and its June 11 2009. I have lost 18 lbs ... its awesome. The only thing is I have bad constipation but that can be fixed. I do exercise 3 x a week and I do eat healthy but treat myself once in awhile. I recommend to anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off."


"Like many I also suffer with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have tried Zoloft and found that ineffective. The side effects were unbearable. I couldn't eat, sleep, and had increased anxiety. Lexapro has helped transform my life positively! I feel like my old self again. The side effects are very minimal. I saw results the first week on this medicine."


"Well- I was prescribed this in the ER for cardiac rythym issues and crazy cardio. Electrical activity. - transdermal - had periods of high and low BP no reason diagnosed yet. Also on 100x3mg morphine sulfate, MS Contin (es) 5x daily for severe back injury w. 7 surg.  Had been able to not have ANY cardio issues at all- e.g.- sweating,pounding heart, erratic ryth. , ringing ears, feeling like passing out etc.  also able to drop pain mgt by 30% no issues or wd.   Worked like a charm and only knew about cardiac uses until I looked at the reviews here (no joke).  stats-age 47 M/W no smoker no alcohol no rec. drugs. No other scripted meds."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I've been taking Pradaxa for a month and have had a lot of gas, sour stomach and a metallic taste in my mouth."


"Synarel worked well for preventing endometriosis, but some of the side effects appear to be irreversible.  Since taking this drug over 15 years ago, I gained 55 pounds while on the prescription which I have been unable to lose and also developed a bad case of rosacea during that time.  Definitely check out the possible side effects before taking any medication."


"I'm 22, no kids and I got skyla inserted 5 days ago. They told me to come in while I was on my period. My doctor made me feel very comfortable during the process. It wasn't painful, but it was slight discomfort and I felt a little light headed like I was about to pass out. I think it was from whatever he put in my cervix to numb it. I went home fine but later that night I had the worst cramps, I thought I was going to die. But after that night I was fine until 3 days later I got more bad cramps I couldn't even go to work. But it went away shortly. It's been past 7 days of being on my period and I'm still bleeding but it's light . i didn't rate a 10 because I have to  see how this go for another couple months"


"I'm a full-time college student in my mid-20s. I've been on Adderall for 3 months now. I cut my 15mg IR in half and take it in the morning and the other half 3 hours later (and another half after 3-4 hours if needed). I don't take it everyday, I probably only take it 4x a week. If you don't have an addictive personality, you won't be addicted to it. I have to say it works really well with my ADD. I'm able to study for hours at a time. I don't necessarily think it makes you smarter. It just lets you focus on a task without getting distracted. I think my only complaint is sudden mood swings and agitation. I definitely noticed a difference in my personality the days I'm not on it. I get angry very easily and irritable."


"After spending two years in absolute agony 24/7 with spasms of the bladder: pain, needing to urinate up to 12 times day and night and aches in my loin, I finally was given the Oxytrol patch, after no help from six prior pill-form medications. I want to thank whoever is responsible for the making, marketing and licensing of this product that changed my life back to livable after twenty-four months of literal hell. Thank you again."


"I am currently one month in and Pristiq is a life saver!
After about an hour I felt energized and extremely optimistic.  I cleaned, got out of bed, and wanted to do stuff for the first 3 days.  Then from 3 days- 3 weeks it was really bad.  I had massive mood swings.  I'd be feeling really good and then VERY VERY horribe and low.  I felt suicidal, angry, and my self esteem was super super low.  I'd also have anxiety attacks.  Then, after about 3 and a half weeks, it just started working. I felt really really good! I got up and hung out with friends and started doing things!  My anxiety was completely gone.  Symptoms I've had are increased appetite, headaches, and stomach pains.

Definitely give this medicine a chance and give it time to kick in."


"I have been taking Chantix since April 15th. Completely stopped smoking on my grand daughter's 5th birthday on May 19th. The only thing I am worried about is when I stop taking Chantix, I hear that once it is out of your system,
the cravings return. No real bad side effects compared
to smoking."


"I'm on week two at just 5mg a day. So far no major side effects, only some nausea that comes about an hour or two after taking the pill. I'm hoping this is the one for me."


"The first prescription I've ever had for a cough that actually works."


"Extremely helpful when used as needed for extreme rage or fear, it re-balances my perspective and helps me keep in touch with reality. However when I used Zyprexa daily it did not help as much."


"Works for me greatly"


"This is my first time using it. I am on a trip so my mom recommended this to use. It's been about 25-30 mins since I used the cream and the itching has not gone away! It is was worse then my YI. I will have to suffer through it for the next 6 nights I guess. No sleep for a week."


"Nuvigil works so well that I am now able to function in most aspects of my day.  Before Nuvigil, I was hardly able to perform activities of daily living.  Now, I am able to do grocery shopping, run errands, etc.  I am much, much more alert.  I had tried Ritalin before Nuvigil and Ritalin made me a nervous wreck whereas Nuvigil is easy and without the shaking.  The cost of Nuvigil is outrageous.  "


"I suffer from panick disorder. it seems to get worse every winter. I went to the doctor before it got bad enough to interfere with my life. My Doctor prescribed a very low dose od celexa again, which works wonders for me and hydroxyzine again because it makes me very sleepy and it really helps. I hadn't slept for 5 days because of heart palpitations caused by anxiety but this makes me sleepy within an hour. The only drawback is that I am usually groggy for the first couple of hours that in awake but I'll take groggy over insomnia any day."


"I have been over weight for over twenty years. I have high blood pressure and tried many times to lose weight on my own with little or no success. I have been talking Qsymia now since January 23rd and I have lost 40 pounds. I feel great my blood pressure is down and I have not experienced any side effects. Very happy %u2665"


"I like the Implanon, because its something that you don't have to worry about. I had an unplanned pregnancy when I was 17. I am now 18 and I have the Implanon. It is sore the first couple of days, but you forget about it. Just like you forget about a tattoo you might have. The bleeding is irregular for me, but it's not that big of a deal to me. I didn't have a period for about two months when I first got it, but then my next period lasted 2 1/2 weeks. Don't let those bad reviews scare you away. It's a great birth control. I RECOMMEND IT!"


"I have been on pregabalin for 5 months.  It has been amazing with regard to eliminating the crippling anxiety, but I still have problems at night.  Cannot get to sleep because of crowded thoughts, keep waking during the night in nightmare scenarios, and wake very early with mind in a turmoil again.  Does anyone else suffer this way? Am wondering whether to increase from 75mgx2 a day."


"I don't feel the generic ambian that I have been taking for months is affective in helping me sleep. I seem to wake up about every two hours.
I would rate this medication a one"


"I had Skyla for exactly 1 year. Starting with how painful the insertion was, I had hoped things would get better. I didn't have a period 3 months into it, but still had crippling cramps and aches like I was on my period at any given time. I waited it out and ended up gaining over 30lbs in the last year. I recently went to my family doctor and expressed that I wasn't happy with the weight gain, my mood swings (random crying, anger fits) and I said I wanted to take it out. So she took it out right then and there. Best decision I've made. Removal was a breeze."


"The drug store really pushed the high dose for anyone over 65.  My husband had a severe reaction 1 hour after the vaccination.  He slumped over in his chair and was extremely hot.  He fainted although he did not lose consciousness.  We went to the doctor who told us they would not carry this high dose due to the side effects.  It is a live vaccine.  I would caution anyone about taking this."


"Worst side effects ever!!!!!!!"


"I gained about 20 pounds in 3 months. I'm more moody also and have worse cramps than before. I am also having my period two times a month, so it's time to switch back to my last one!"


"I have gone through a lot these last 5 months from changing careers and moving and having two deaths in my family. I was having bad crying jags and feeling really down. My anxiety was very high. I have been on this medication for about 4 days now and I feel a sense of peace and all my mind-chatter has left. I know the full dose has not kicked in yet so I'm hoping to feel better and better. I was totally against taking anything but sometimes you just need that extra push. In the beginning I did feel very tired but that has lifted. I feel clear headed and plan to stay on this for a little just to get back to normal."


"I have used this for about a year now. I used to be on a high dose of xanax for several years but my new Dr. Didn't agree with that, so here I am on adivan.

I don't feel as if it helps with anxiety that well. It takes a high dose for me when I have panic attacks. Most definitely not used for sleep."


"I took a low dose of melatonin 0.5mg,1hr BS it Made me tired and i could  fall asleep faster & Deeper. during the day i felt better than usual."


"I started this antidepressant today I was on it before and couldnt tell a difference in anything now I feel numbed and negative thoughts that keep returning thoughts of giving up and isolation and failure  and anger rage paranoia are stronger than ever before I was told it takes two to six weeks to feel full affect I will stop this medication I feel 10x worse thanks but no thanks"


"Please everyone make sure you are emailing Pfizer. They need to be making increments of 5mg so that people can wean themselves off easier. They are aware of the withdrawal from Effexor yet have not made smaller increments so people have to figure out ways to do it themselves.  I was on 150mg for 4 years. I attempted to go off by decreasing by 37.5mg every 2 weeks. I was suicidal, exhausted, dizzy, and felt like my brain was being electrocuted.  Within 2 days of taking my previous dose the symptoms went away.  My next attempt to get off was much slower. I decreased by 5mg every month.  I had to take my pills out of the capsule, shave a little off the pill and put it back in the capsule.  To get any kind of accuracy you have to buy a scale."


"Helps with mobility &helps relieve the pain better than over the counter meds"


"After years on inhalers, my doctor gave me this & I hardly ever have to use an inhaler anymore"


"I just started taking it last Thursday and I am so happy that it is working, no headaches (except one today).  I feel like I'm in a dream!  No one around me understands how miraculous this is, suffered with them for 30 yrs now.  I feel like a normal human."


"This drug is horrible.  I was given this drug because I wasn't sleeping more the 2 hours a night.  I took it for 4 nights, and it made the sleep problems worse. On the forth day it started messing with my head. I stop taking it . I went on the Lunesta message board and found a lot of other people who had the same reaction. Some people even had worse problems with this drug."


"Metronidazole causes  me to have headaches, bloated stomach with cramps(sometimes severe), and a heavy feeling. Prescribed for H-Pylori treatment for 10 days along with Clarithomycin. It also causes a lack of appetite. When taking this medicine, it will taste bad and leave a bad taste in your mouth and throat for a few hours. I find drinking a hot beverage like cocoa or low acid coffee after taking it has helped relieve the bad taste but doesn't get rid of it completely.

For Manufacturer's:

Manufacturer's should really consider making this as a hard caplet. Maybe even adding a flavor enhancer. In it's current form, it almost immediately starts dissolving before being swallowed with a disgusting salty taste."


"I take 20mg Adderall XR daily for ADHD. I feel extremely productive, focused, and proactive while on it. My first day taking it, I usually am a normal eater, I could only eat a sandwich bag of pretzels before losing any appetite. That night, despite eating almost nothing, I biked 21 miles (my standard biking route), without stopping, in record time, without even feeling exhausted. Now, each day I take it, i feel very intelligent and concentrated, and come up with ideas easily, as well as feeling great all of the time. In my opinion, Adderall is the greatest thing to grace humankind, and I would suggest it to anybody who has difficulty focusing, especially if you are overweight. I lost 25 lbs in my first 3 months taking it, though."


"I had Kyleena inserted on Friday, 9/29. Let me just tell you, it hurt like all hell. I suggest taking Ibuprofen at least an hour before hand, I did not. This is where I went wrong. The process was not very long, but it was very painful. After the process was over I cramped for the rest of the day, but Ibuprofen took care of the pain. The next day I was crampy all day and sluggish feeling. Yesterday, Sunday, 10/1, I felt good as new. Today I feel a bit on the depressed side. Not sure if it is from the IUD or if it's just me. I hope it does not get worse. I will update once I go back to the doctor in 4 weeks!"


"It is now week 3 since I stopped that poison, and I'm STILL paying a price.

I was prescribed it for a bacterial upper respiratory infection. After the first day, I started having a fast and pounding heart rate. My fatigue got much worse, and my blood pressure went way up (though I didn't know the latter had occurred until I took myself to a walk-in clinic on the 5th day, when I STOPPED that poison.)

Since then, I STILL have the pounding heart rate throughout the day, and especially at bedtime, which keeps me awake. It's like my adrenaline is always sky high now. I am forced to take taurine three times a day to control it somewhat. Will this ever end???"


"I have been diagnosed with bursitis in my right heal and I got great relief after taking Indocin for about two days. It is not as painful."


"I've taken Plan B a number of times. I have bipolar disorder, sometimes not even my medication can hold back my manic episodes. This is something that has literally saved my life from myself... as a person with a mental illness. It has worked every time. It either makes me get my period within a few weeks or it skips it. The times it has made me get my period have been accompanied by severe cramps but they go away."


"Its a good medication for treating HIV never had a problem and it was well tolerable with no side affects."


"I got the Implanon in August 2009, a week before my cycle was due. It's been nearly a year and I have not had any periods and I can't complain one bit. My cycle before any type of birth control was very irregular, like every two weeks and I had been on the pill for 8 years so I wanted a change. I wanted something long-term that was more convenient than having to take a pill. I've always been hormonal during that time of the month so the side effects with Implanon with that are about the same. The side effects are scary but everyone's body is different and responds to the hormones differently. Mine is well suited to the Implanon and I currently enjoy it and would do it again in the future after this one is removed."


"Wonderful drug if you are bipolar and type A personality, lots of energy and almost no side effects , I have to work out or run almost everyday and have a healthy diet if not the drug is too much to handle for me"


"I take baclofen (20mg 3Xs a day) for muscle twitching, spasms, and spactisity.  It has helped some (for instance I can still feel the muscle twitching but its no longer visible twitching).  Hasn't seemed to help with the spasticity though.  As for side effects at first I had a lot of drowsiness and dizziness.  Now I am horribly depressed and think its from the baclofen so I may discontinue soon."


"A two-year depression vanished in just 24 hours."


"I've been on this pill for a little over a month and I love it. (Knock on wood) but I haven't gotten any really bad side effects like most pills I've read about. On this pill I've lost my crazy appetite that I used to have, my breasts feel like they've gotten smaller, I don't have mood swings, or feel depressed or anything. The only negative thing is, even though I'm glad it made my hair longer, it made my hair in other places longer and it grows back faster (which I can manage but it's a little annoying having to do my eyebrows ever other day). I've also had headaches but not sure if its from the pill and I had my period for 2 weeks straight but my doctor said its because body is getting used to the pill."


"I had the mirena coil fitted 4 years ago. My periods became heavier for the first six months. Haven't had a period now for 2 years brilliant - the down side is weight gain, 3 stone. I'm due to have it removed I want to have another one put in but the weight gain is a big issue."


"It doesn't do a darn thing for me. I don't even know why I bother taking it. I have to sleep sitting up so that I don't throw up all night from GERD. I have tried all of the major drugs to try to control my condition, but none of them work. Very discouraging. The only thing that seems to help even a little bit is keeping my stomach full at all times (at least when I throw up, it's not bile or acid). I've gained almost 60 pounds this last year as a result of it, though."


"I Have been on this medication for over a year. Was prescribed 50mg by my doctor due to severe anxiety and panic disorder. I have since not had a single severe panic attack, it also helped a little with my social anxiety. However, it takes longer to reach orgasm and I am only in the mood at nighttime and I have gained 40 pounds and I seem to lack motivation, I also feel like the effects are slowly wearing off so I may have to up the dose slightly or switch to a new medication. I had no initial side effects. I think this medicine works a lot better for anxiety than depression."


"My family physician prescribed xenical 120mg 7 days back. and I was 90kgwhen I started. I couldn't exercise and my diet was the same as before. I used to have low cal low fat diet for years but nothing happened over years except for gaining weight. This pill is miraculous! I lost 3kg in just 6 days and I didn't have to go through any of those horrible side effects. I only took 2 pills per day.

Hope to continue this for 3 months and my target is to reach 58 kg and be sexy again ;) . Fingers crossed!"


"Today I went to the doctors for some common flu symptoms. They prescribed me Zofran for my nausea and upset stomach. About 10-15 minutes after taking it there was a tremendous relief of everything. It works rapidly and does wonders. I have not experienced any side effects like headaches or nothing yet so everything's good so far."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Easy to use and very effective. Follow the low residue advice for several days prior to the procedure. This really helped. Procedure was just as easy as the prep!"


"For several years I have been prescribed 1mg to take up to 3 times per day - sometimes I take less, some days even none! But I find that Xanax does for me what adderall does for children suffering add. For some reason the drug helps me have precision focus, a clear mind, better communication, rapid fire thought processing, and motivation - just for starters. I don't expect to take it for the rest of my life, but I go thro prolonged periods of anxiety and antisocial behavior (will urinate in bottles in my room when at my worst). Glad  to know there are a few people who Experience the same effects  using Xanax as Maintenance.  It's been a life saver for me! Curious to understand why it has this off label effect on us select few."


"4 yrs of hydro every 4 hrs., I now can ride a bike! I can walk like a normal human being! My brain is back! My liver isn't being eaten by hydrocodone!"


"Love these pills. I've officially lost 50lbs. I use fitnesspro to monitor my calories and it keeps me on track. Other than daily activities I do not exercise. Highly recommend."


"Worst birth control I've ever been on. Extreme burning and itching throughout vaginal area, acne and horribly tender breasts."


"Never ever ever let

Your doctor put you on this!!!! It has the worst discontinuation withdrawal I've ever experienced, I've been threw some rough opiate withdrawals before and this is 5 times as worse than that! Stay far away from this it will consume your life!"


"I was so tired on this medication, I don't think I gave it long enough to work before I switched to something else."


"There's a character limit so bullet points..
Been on this 2 months
Bad mood swings in the beginning, but they went away
cleared up acne on my back
have had 2 periods in the middle of a pack, so my body hasn't adjusted to that yet
This BC worried me at first but now I'm finding it to be positive. My overall moods are MUCH better."


"I was prescribed Cymbalta for arthritic pain in my knees. I took 30 mg/day for 3 days and was fatigued to the point of not wanting to do anything but lie down.In addition (to which I found out was a rare side effect) I was yawning all day and evening. After reading about the difficulties that some people had getting off this medicine. I stopped it after the 3 days. Unless I can be somewhat assured that the side effects are temporary I would rather live with the pain then take this medicine."


"I take Valium 2mg PRN for panic attacks. I was nervous about using it. I also had this warped idea that I would be labeled a pill head for taking a drug like Valium. I can honestly say that Valium is a life saver. The first time I took it all I could think about was how I regretted not taking it sooner. I can actually live my life now. You have to be careful though. It is very easy to build a tolerance to it. Use the lowest amount you need, because You would be surprised how much of a difference 1 mg will make. I have been trying to use it as a tool rather than a crutch. I also have ADD and Valium helps me fall asleep at night when I feel restless"


"Was first prescribed Tramadol as an addon drug with my Vicoden due to a serious injury in a car accident. I also suffer from depression and acute anxiety most of my life with panic attacks. The Vicoden worked at first and then made me sick. I would vomit from it sometimes then it quit working. I took the tramadol one a day usually in the morning and stopped after a month or so because I felt it wasn't doing anything. Man was I wrong. My injuries healed and I stopped the Vicoden. Upon reading more about Tramadol I discovered it acts as a Serotonin and Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. So it acts as a anti-depressant as well as a "semi-opiate" Tramadol itself is not an opiate. You body converts it into one, similar to Nucynta. Great drug."


"I posted previously about my depression due to my father passing and I've been on 20mg for about 4 months and it helped a little bit for a while but now my depression is as bad as it was before starting the medication. I'm posting this because my previous post had it rated as an 8/10 but I thought I rated it as a 4/10. The side effects when first starting were horrible, I had extreme nausea and massive headaches for the first 3-5 days. It also makes me feel exhausted all the time no matter how much sleep I get."


"Been taking this medicine many yrs. I have experienced weight gain, short of breath in exercise, and now I am sweating "pink" which is ruining my clothing. It does not wash out even after using laundry "spot: cleaning. Anyone else experience this?"


"I got prescribed this stuff for sleep. It did help me sleep a little better but it has given me consistant nightmares ever since day 1. I also have had a "brain fog" for weeks...Its a win win situation because its extremely good for sleeping and an antidepressent but the nightmares and inability to focus on anything weighs out the good. Going back to the doctor to try something else. i would reccomend this to someone for sleep but not for long if you have nightmares and brain fog."


"Okay let me get started. Every social worker, psychologist, and mental health doctor shouldn't prescribe this drug to anyone. It is harmful in so many ways. I took it for 1-2 years because they said: I had said that  I had bad schizophrenia. I did not have bad anything except a drug issue- which they already  knew  as they had tested my urine, but they  didn't take that into consideration. If you take this drug you will sleep away your life. You will lose you train of thought every 5 sentences. You will probably 75% chance to lose your job in a fast pace environment.
When you take this drug you will lose muscles, goals, and cause you too get depressed. "


"Its been ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!! The first  week, whole body shaking. Had to start anxiety medicines. Headaches. Urinary tract pain, bladder pain since day 3, it is going on week 7 with this pain. Will be glad when it is over!!!"


"Have used the product faithfully each day for about 71/2 months. May have slight improvement but not much. Will finish the 3rd bottle and move on. Certainly not worth the exorbitant price even if covered by insurance."


"Drysol actually works!!! Please give it a try before considering any surgical operations or botox injections. I've been dealing with excessive sweating for about 2 years and finally decided to do something about it. And by excessive I mean sweat running like faucets, my underarm sweat would run right through my shirt and big sweaters and I'd have to change my shirt 4-5 times a day. I've used other antiperspirants prior to this one such as certaindri but they had very little impact on this problem of mine. Yesterday was the first day I used Drysol and I did not sweat at all. I'm so happy I can finally wear t-shirts again and not have to worry about my sweat stains. I did experience some itchiness yesterday but not as much today."


"I've been on Topamax (topiramate) for 6 years, and loved it at first. My migraines decreased dramatically, I had weight loss from the appetite suppression, and I overall felt better. But I had pretty bad tingling in my hands and all over my face for the whole time I've taken it. Also more recently, I've made the connection with my severe memory loss to the medication. I used to be able to retain information and facts like an elephant, but I can hardly recall simple words some days. I'm planning on going off the Topamax (with the direction of my neuro) because the memory loss issue is so disturbing to me."


"What a HORRIBLE medication!!! I started taking this pill after my 2nd baby I noticed mood swings but I thought it was just my hormones after having a baby but it got worse, after a month of been on this pill I was either angry or sad all the time, very unhappy I refused to believe that it could be depression but i started to find my self crying in my room alone, anxious just not feeling myself. That is not all I thought I had some kind of stomach virus for a moth and it wasn't going away, nauseous, vomiting, dizziness and severe headache. It felt like stroke waiting to happen. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!!!"


"I've been diagnosed with bipolar 1(Runs in family)borderline personality, gen anxiety and epilepsy. I take 400 XR mg of serequal at night with 1mg lorazepam,60mg mirtazapine(SNRI), 10mg lexapro(SSRI) in the morn, 1000mg of depakote in morn and 1300mg at night, 100mg of lamotrigine in morn and 200mg at night-before seroquel I still had the mania and depression although less intense due to my other med levels finally correct, but once on seroquel the length between phases has been much longer, and to a point even lessened the intensity of the highs and lows more ,
Between phases I've felt more life, calmness, happy and much more. I totally recommend this drug. It's only major side effect for me has been weight gain(a lot of)"


"Doxycycline is a very good easy to take once a day medicine that works very well with my bronchiectasis  , no side effects when taken with food  , no ill feeling or dizziness as with other antibiotics  , overall very good drug."


"My doctor gave me a sample of Prevacid for chronic indigestion and one pill taken at bedtime gave me the HIVES by the next morning.  Never having had the hives, I was freaked and called the doctor immediately.

I was then given Prilosec and have been 96.6% trouble free since then, switching to Prilosec OTC which was half the price of the prescription."


"I've been on contrave since Nov. 6th, as of today, I'm down 12lbs, my questions are #1 does it make you sleepy, or is it just me? 2nd, has anybody tried eating sweets on this pill? Well we had our Christmas Party at work, and I tell you eating sweets, and drinking any amount of alcohol will have you sick, so don't do it"


"I've been on doxycycline for about a week now and I am in love with how my skin looks! I've been reading reviews about people's skin getting really bad so I'm scared that will happen to me because I've struggled with severe acne for so many years and this is the best my skin has ever looked, I'm pretty much almost acne free!! I'm also using differin cream 0.1% and that is a lot nicer on my skin than the gel was. I highly recommend going to see if you are able to take this medication."


"I went on depo for two shots (6 months). When the first shot started wearing off there was an incredible amount of blood. Thank goodness it was near the end of the work day and I was wearing black pants, the amount of blood was beyond what I ever thought I could bleed. When the shot started wearing off (happening right now) the amount of blood that I am bleeding is extreme; soaking an entire pad in an hour for the past four days. If this continues I am going to have to go to the doctor regarding the amount of blood loss. I don't plan on going on the shot again."


"I have suffered with eczema since being 17 and it was manageable. Since having my second child 14 months ago it's started a a 50 pence peace size on the back of my neck and has now spread all over my neck ears face flares up. I was put on steroids for 10 every two months before I seen the dermatologist and she put on neoral 200mg a day it clears for the first 6 weeks and. Then it's back with a venagnce big time and am still taking he medication. It it no longer works for me now. I have gone back to steroids today because the flare up is so bad I can't even leave the house."


"I suffered migraines off and on for years. I've been using amiptiptyline for 3 years now at bedtime. No more bad migraines. If I do get one now, my meds work instead of it lasting for days."


"Took this for a year with no problems or side effects. It was amazing. I stopped taking any form of birth control for about two years. I took this again for a year and that's where all the problems came from. I started breaking out more and more each month. I had a rash along my hairline, my jawline, my back, my cheeks. It was terrible. It clears up a little during the "fake" pills week, but it's the worst acne I've ever had. I stopped taking it for 2 months and my face cleared up, so I knew it was the pill. I'm looking to switch to something new asap."


"Was on this medication for wisdom teeth/tonsillectomy which worked very well. The first time I took it it gave me immense fatigue but after that I was ok. Other side effects where nausea if taken on an empty stomach and minor constipation."


"Newly diagnosed with Stage 3 COPD at 56. Tried two other medicines first with no relief. Switched to Anoro, and BAM! I can breathe again. I don't know what the long term effects will be, but it has given me some hope that I will be able to function well enough to take care of myself and exercise."


"Unfortunately I took Meridia for 6 months and only lost 15 lbs. Went off of it for a while and gained 20lbs. Tried it again but only lost 11 lbs in 3 months. I eat good and exercise and chase after 3 kids. It's great for all of you who have lost weight however. This medicine is expensive. "


"Nexium was moderately effective at reducing my GERD symptoms, but the side effects made it not worth taking.  I had trouble sleeping, felt very lethargic and fatigued, found it difficult to think through complex problems (which, in my job, is a serious concern).  I felt constantly run-down and had no energy, but could not get a good night's sleep."


"I took Actonel for about 6-8 months several years ago.  No gastrointestinal symptoms but I had such very severe joint pains - first shoulder, then elbow, then wrist (joint still enlarged) that I thought I had injured myself.  Each would subside after several weeks.  My physician did take me off Actonel after I complained of this, and I have been taking Fosamax (or generic) for 5 or 6 years, no ill effects."


"I have been off and on medicines for depression for over 10 years. I love Celexa. I have energy and it helps with my anxiety too. It did take a few weeks to kick in. I really recommend this antidepressant because I think it's multi-purpose and does it's job."


"I have been using EpiDuo for three months now.  I was not seeing the results I wanted at first.  My face was still breaking out and was very oily.  My dermatologist told me to use a pea sized amount for my whole face, as did the website. I read on the EpiDuo site that using more would not help. So I kept using the pea sized amount and kept breaking out.  Last week at month 3, I was ready to give up and say here is another product that failed to cure my acne.  Instead I decided to try using more of the product before giving up.  Now I am using 4 pea sized drops on my face.  What a difference that made. For the first time in years I am totally acne free.  So yes 100% it does work, just don't believe everything you hear I guess. "


"Klonopin saved my life!!! I have been having panic attacks since I was 8 yrs old. Klonopin is the only benzodiazepine that helps take the panic away. Life saver!!! Don't worry about the sides it can't be worse thn the attacks."


"I got the kyleena inserted today and experienced the worst cramps in my life. The insertion were (8/10) on the pain scale. I am not very sensitive to pain but can't take any pain medication. The last 4 hours has been the worst in my entire life so far I have really bad cramps now 10/10 and nausea. I can't even get out of bed because of the severe pain!"


"I am on my second implant.  I got my first one in 2001 in Australia, where it was only $23 (Aussie money, so under $20US, AND THAT'S WITHOUT INSURANCE).  I moved back to the US and had a difficult time finding a doctor who could remove it.  In 2008 I was living in OR and found that they had recently brought Implanon back to the US and I RAN out to find a dr.  The first time I had it in I had a 24/7 period, heavy, no joke.  But after that it stopped completely.  After my first one I went through Depo Provera and then The Patch, but nothing is as awesome as Implanon.  A word of advice: menstruation for me on Implanon is DIRECTLY related to weight gain.  If I go over 150lbs (at 5'10") then my period starts. Under than I'm clear."


"Lowered Cholesterol..took for about 4 months...never again..I found myself in the emergency room often reporting extreme weakness..especially in legs and head.  I felt like I was floating instead of walking. Extreme headaches. I'm a very active 40 year Old!  I felt like I couldn't stand up or walk without help. Not to mention shortness of breath and sharp pains in my legs. Stopped taking as soon as I realized Simvastatin may have been causing it about a few days ago. I still feel spasms in my legs but not as severe and my strength has returned."


"I was prescribed this medication after returning to work 3 weeks after a moderate ankle sprain. I am alternating 800 mg of Motrin and 1000 mg of Tylenol every 6 hours around the clock, so basically I am taking something every 3 hours and icing/elevating my ankle when pain meds are due.  It has been 2 months since my injury and am still in severe pain, I have had to modify my work schedule and I basically sit around doing as little as possible to rest. I am on my feet at work for 12 hours at a time, in a walking boot, which is also causing me lower back and hip pain. After I come home for work, I take 2 Tylenol #3 and it does nothing. I do not take pain medicine often, but this is providing 0 pain relief and makes me very nauseated."


"I have been on Alesse for 6 years now and I have never had a single problem. I had a little bloating and discomfort when I first started on the birth control, but that is normal.  I have since then had a lighter period (approx. 4 days) it has also came at the same time EVERY single month.  I have never had a late or early period that is not counting around the time of my grad when I was extremely stressed and it was because of the stress that my period came late that month.  It is nice to be able to see reviews on this product, because my fiance and I are getting married next year and we plan to try to have children shortly after that, so now I know that it isn't a problem.  I would recommend this birth control!"


"This drug works for psychotic symptoms but its terrible in many ways! For example sexual dysfunction... I'm switching to abilify in a few months and hoping for the best."


"I've been taking Celexa for about 2 months now and my life is completely different.  I have been struggling with depression on and off for about 14 years now.  It was getting really bad for me, I was at the point where I couldn't control my emotions at all.  It made me very drowsy at first, but that subsided after a couple of weeks.  I feel so much better inside and people around me can tell a distinct difference too.  I like the fact that it doesn't make me emotionless, just that my emotions aren't so strong and out of control.  I still get sad, but that is a normal human emotion.  I am so thankful that there are ways to make people like me feel better.  Depression is a disease, not a choice."


"I've been on Reclipsen 5 years now.  Gained about 10 pounds, but they were very much needed. Hardly any side effects and it meets the purpose... NO PREGNANCIES!
I'm happy, so far."


"My experiance with the birth control rod. Its really great. I've had it in for a year now I get occasional aches in my arm and spotting every once and a while but not enough to wear a tampon. I will keep having this implant until  I am ready to have kids. I love this birth control"


"I've been on saxenda for a week now started at 206lb now down to 197lb.... I'm f 5'6 and 32 years old I'm only on the first dose of 0.6ml and it's stopping all the bad cravings.... I don't have much of an appetite I'm looking forward to see how the rest of the month is going to go.... my goal is 160 lbs so hopefully this will continue to work as well as it has been"


"I take Tramadol for painful neuraliga. It ensures that I have a good night's sleep and takes away most of the pain for up to eight hours per dose. I find I need to take 100mg together with 500mg Paracetamol for the best effect: 50mg Tramadol isn't enough for me. Because of the stories I've  read about people becoming dependent on it with withdrawal symptoms, I have limited my usage to two to three occasions a week only. I can easily not take it for three consecutive days with no ill effects at all. I intend to limit my use of it in this way, unless my symptoms worsen."


"I am new to this, but want to share. I am 50, smoked heavily almost 40 years.
have tried to quit many times, but never could go more than a couple days. I took Chantix exactly as prescribed set my quit date (8 days), now I am smoke free for 10 days with no negative side affects. But, I will say, I don't drink or have other forms of addiction. Chantix makes me feel like I never smoked before, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 20! I recommend it to anyone who wants to quit!"


"It has helped me quite a bit, although it doesn't seem to have antidepressant effects.  It's definitely helping me "think" better - I'm not confused anymore."


"If you are taking this product use it as A. Last resort and B. Take only one pill and if you do not get the desired effect then take another.
I have severe constipation and when I take one pill I will pass the hard stool and a little more, but will not have diarrhea.
If I take more than one then I will have severe cramping and I will have diarrhea after passing the hard stool.
For me it takes anywhere from 3-6 hours to kick in and from the point where I start the bm it will last up to 5 hours. I usually clean out my bowel before that point but the cramps continue. If the pain is really bad I will actually take peptobismol or tums for my stomach pain."


"The only problem with Tirosint capsules is the out of pocket price... We are low fixed income due to my hubby being an Elderly Disabled Vet and I must be home taking care of him so nearly $44/mo comes out of the grocery $; Yet I prefer Tirosint capsules over any other thyroid meds I have had because I have not had any negative reaction to it like I have all the others I have tried; Levothyroxine tablets I get big migraines.  With Armour allergic reaction that makes me into a zombie. "


"It's so nice to be sane without side effects."


"I starting on Sertraline 3 years ago and felt that my body had got used to it and wasn't getting any effect after a year. My GP then put me on Fluoxetine 20mg. To start it took about 5-6 weeks to really begin to feel calmer and less sensitive to daily stresses and I had an amazing sleep but the effects began to wear off after a year. My GP then increased my dose to 60mg as I was going through a really stressful time at work and couldn't cope. Thankfully work has been better and I've changed my role but I've started to feel really depressed and have been having suicidal thoughts which I never used to have. I have really vivid dreams and I'm starting to get home from work, take the dog out, make dinner and once all my chores are done then I g"


"I have fibromyalgia, neuropathy and osteoarthritis. I have taken Soma for at least 4 years and it really helps me get up and get the things I need to to on a daily basis. I moved to Arizona and the doctors just hate this medication and do not understand how much it has helped me. They have cut my dosage more than half the amount I needed to take so I suffer more since I have been here. I am very careful with it and my body is used to it. I just wish the doctors that I see especially the pain clinic doctor see that it helps me - He just refuses to up the dosage. I do not think it is good to stay on it if you just hurt your leg or something that can be fixed but for people like me with a condition that there is no cure for it helps me more than any of the other medicines."


"I have had been through hell and back with my allergies and sinuses.  I’m not sure what to do.  I am too allergic for allergy shots, so the allergist put me on this nasal spray plus Flonase.  I’ve been super sick for years now, and two sinus operations.  Today after being on this nasal spray for two weeks is the best I have felt,  because today I didn’t use azelastine.  I think the allergy shot is residing and this medication is wearing off.  I get super shakey and sick to my stomach with a lot of pressure in my stomach.  Something isn’t right, my story is too long to tell. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I just want to cry."


"I have a problem with my rotator cuff (shoulder) which causes extreme pain.  My doctor put me on a anti-inflammatory drug and Vicodin ES for the pain. I was almost pain free."


"I did not see any positive results with this medication. I am still on this medication.Within the first 2 and 1/2 months I gained 20 lbs. I am not very happy."


"Amazing, has helped my life so much. Although it is extremely addictive but effective. Maybe should not be first line treatment."


"Experienced many side effects, blood sugar was higher than before I was placed on Actos.  My doctor took me off of it immediately.  After she did, I felt great."


"3 months of Protonix did nothing, after taking Kapidex, I noticed improvement within 2 weeks and most symptoms gone after 5 weeks."


"Hi! I'm 18 years old and ever since I've had my first period, it's been irregular. I've even been up to 6 months without it. It's my first time with provera. I got my period two days after 10 days of taking the pill. The only side effects that I have had are that I've sort of had hair loss and frequent headaches. Other than that, I've always had PMS."


"COPPER IUD user for 8 months. My experience as follows! Concise/easy to read.
PROS:
I did not get pregnant while having a copper IUD
Put mind at ease/no worry about pregnancy

CONS:
-Changed/longer periods that persisted during my use.
-Period went from 3 days, to 5 - 6 days...EXTREMELY HEAVY for a few months, which subsided...however long periods, usually a few days of irregular bleeding persisted.
-Bacterial Vaginosis (never had before or after IUD, plenty of stats show copper iud users are much more likely to develop this due to the increased flora)
-HUGE increase in discharge, had to wear a panty liner 24/7 - discharge was 95% better literally the DAY I removed the IUD

My body didn't respond well - yours might!"


"My boyfriend and I had a mistake we usually use my cycle awareness and pull out method as birth control. It was successful for 6 months. We had a mistake one night and I knew I was ovulating so I went to the Dr the next day and took the plan b within 24-30 hours after the mistake. Well 2 weeks later I started getting my usual period symptoms; sore breast, tired, hungry, irritable, bloated. But this time the bleeding never came. I'm now 8 weeks pregnant. The doctor said it's rare only 5% but it can happen. So please be careful! I've had other experiences with plan b that were positive and it worked but I guess God had a different plan this time."


"The side effects out way the benefits. Vomiting for days and then joint pain , swelling and out of control pain in hand and foot for days. Had to go to walk in clinic and then doctor's office. Had to miss work . Do not take this medicine !"


"Was started in this in the hospital for psychotic bipolar disorder. Asked for a refill when I was released. Makes your mind quiet, sedated, calm. No hallucinations no delusions. Glad I had a doctor that uses typical antipsychotics because the atypical never worked for me. Aside from the diarrhea this drug is everything and more."


"I have been using Spiriva for a couple of years now and find it to be a life saver. I have had no problems whatsoever. It is very convenient to use. No side effects. I can tell the difference in my breathing if I miss a couple of doses."


"I take Seroxat/Paxil for depression. When I started to use Vaniqa, it worked for hairs but I didn't realize that it was making me very depressed! Be careful"


"Works fabulous. Been on it for 7 years, always get my period on the same day. Never any nausea. I get emotional the day before my period starts but its whatever, my boobs got huge which was nice. no pregnancy scares either..at all. works fabulous. highly recommend... I haven't had any issues like other people say."


"I must say that I am truly greatful that my doctor prescribed this. It changed my life so much that I don't have to be ashamed of the odor caused by sweating under my arms anymore because it's gone. I've tried almost every deodorant over the counter there is and nothing worked. Because of drysol I now have the confidence to walk around freely wearing clothing other than all cotton and not have sweat marks under my arms. I am so thankful for this product and glad I went to the doctor about my problem which led me to discover this product."


"This medication is Great."


"Works great."


"I'm so glad I read these postings. I was admitted to ER After a five day migraine. I was given this medicine through an IV. It took about 45-hour to feel relief. It took my pain level from a 10 to a 4. However the first 20 minutes I felt very restless suddenly and I want to be out of the hospital, I was uncomfortable and I wanted to rip the IV out of my arm. I was paranoid waiting for my boyfriend to come back from the restroom. I couldn't explain the feeling but after reading the other posts I see it was a similar experience and side effect to the other posters."


"Augmentin gave me a debilitating, unbelievably severe headache. I thought I was going to die due to my head imploding with pain. I was literally screaming! Never again for me..."


"This implanon has been the worst birth control I have taken. I've had terrible breakouts, non stop spotting , loss of libido , and it's causing me to get agitated over ever my little thing. This birth control has caused me to fight with my boyfriend every single day and has slowly been pushing us apart. I'm ready to get this thing the hell out of me."


"Has always worked for me. Zero sexual side effects. "


"I like this pill! Ended my 2nd month and no nausea or irregular bleeding. I was on a higher dose pill before and was absolutely sick from it. My period is right on time from last month and I will continue this pill! It works great considering the condom fell off a few times, makes me absolutely thankful I'm on birth control!"


"I've been on saxenda for 3 weeks today.  I've lost 3.5kg. I've had some side affects, but nothing I can't deal with. I have waves of nausea sometimes.  I find if I eat anything really sugary I feel very ill straight after.  So it's stopped me eating lollies and cakes, which is great as I've always been weak around those. I've lost my appetite which is great as I'm always was thinking about food, so it's good to think about other things instead.  I find I can only eat small portions of food otherwise I feel ill, I'm not sure if that's the drug working or still some side effects. Side effects definitely subside but once my dose increases again I get the side effects. I'm sure once the drug dose stabilises all side effects should disappear."


"I started with this pill to get off the shot but it is no better...I can't sleep at night I have the worst headaches my cycle is never predictable..I can see blood one day and nothing the next I can have sex one day and still bleed & that's so embarrassing & disgusting I hate this pill it was the worst choice ever"


"Was on Aciphex PRN for 11 yrs.  New insurance will not pay for it now even though they know I was on it for yrs prior.  Now taking the generic, rabeprazole.  I had to go through all the over the counter meds as well. Rabeprazole gave me some relief but not for long.  Heaven forbid I miss one dose.  It never relieves the symptoms fully.  I would take Aciphex maybe 5-6 times a month will full relief.  It's like a wonder drug.  Without it, I'm back to propping the pillows up at night, stomach pain, diarrhea, belching, bloating, gas, vomiting; basically feeling miserable most days."


"I have body aches. I'm only 21 and falling apart and I have a real hard time getting to sleep, so I take one or two of these at night depending on my tiredness or achiness, and about 30 minutes to an hour I'm pretty much asleep and almost always stay asleep for 7-9 hours. I normally wake up with no achiness and feeling like I got a pretty decent nights rest. "


"I have been taking morphine 60ER, 30ER, 15ER for 15 months.  It is working for me. My status is Arthrodesis, also have chronic Myofascial Pain syndrome, Degenerative Disc Disease, Spondylolisthesis, Lumbar Radiculopathy, 2 surgeries. Recent surgery L4-L5 Pedicle Fusion and PLIF and deformed S-1 . 7 months out no bone growth lots of pain. Live a lot better with this medicine. Walk better still not fit for duty, still wear brace and walk with cane, only 36."


"Wide awake, enhanced reflexes, but too expensive."


"Taking a multivitamin, probiotic pill, garlic pill, and making sure to still eat greens , low sugar and drinking lots of water  when taking this pill or any birth control pill for that matter is essential to help keep all the nasty side effects away or at bay for some. "


"So I am 19 and i have had mine for a little over a month. When I first got nexplanon, it was painful not bad though. I'm a baby to all kinds of pain and it hurt no more than a piercing. It was soar for a couple of days and made my very physical job hard. I bleed 1 day after getting it (it was put in on my 4th day of my period) then the bleeding stoped but after that I bleed for 3 days very lightly about 7 days after it was inserted. I just started my second period and it's so light a pantie liner is plenty! The only other side effect I have is acne! I can't stand it! But my boyfriend said it's fine because he still loves me :) I was told to wait 2 weeks to have sex but I had unprotected sex on the 11th day. Over all I love this product!"


"First time on this medication I don't see why it works for me everyone body is different I took it an hour before my dental appointment it relaxes your body , but I still felt everything dentist movement and plus there weren't any sleep  for me I was wide awake it's ok but I prefer IV sedation thank you"


"Thank God for this medication. Campral really does work and I feel like I have my life back.  For me it has completely taken away the urge to drink, which is really saying something for a guy that drank every day for as long as I can remember.  It still takes will power and a commitment to quit but Campral is the help I deperately needed. If you have a problem please see your doctor and ask him or her about this."


"I was prescribed this as a precaution because I had a mole removed, however I had the worst experience.
I don't know if I had food poisoning during the first night of taking it, or if it was entirely the cephalexin, but I had a 12 hour episode of vomiting and diarrhea, after that I was for an entire week with nausea and evidently sick (couldn't eat anything different than BRAT diet). I decided to stop taking cephalexin and in 12 hours I was MUCH better.
My doctor said that since we are all different, some antibiotics might not work at all for some of us. This is the first time in my life I had a bad experience with an antibiotic."


"I used Soriatane for about 9 months and had to stop using it because I lost my insurance, but after those 9 months I went about 2 1/2 years until my psoriasis started coming back.  So if your insurance will cover it I would highly recommend this medicine to anyone."


"I have been on guaifenesin for almost 20 years using the protocol that Dr. St. Amand founded.  It has been a life saver for me as I was able to get my health and stamina back in shape by closely following his instructions and recommendations.

I was able to maintain my executive working position and later was able to be a caregiver for two family members.

  I highly recommend this drug and protocol."


"Took Clomid in early 1980's due to PCO. Gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Three years later (without clomid) a baby boy. To this day, I'm still so thankful for the drug.  Don't give up, your wonderful life is waiting to happen!"


"IUD is good at preventing pregnancy.

The side effects of this IUD has been awful. I have been on it for 4 months. I am 110lbs, 5'4'', healthy and I used to have heavy periods that last about a week. First month, I was bleeding heavily for more than 2 weeks, I also had brown discharge. I had cramps that occurred randomly throughout the month that was comparable to getting my IUD inserted, but it was very short whereas before getting this IUD, during the first 2-3 days of period I would have constant dull pain. Bleeding calmed down after, and now at 4 months, my period lasts more than a week. I get light spotting for 3-4 days, then bleeding for 4-5 then brown discharge for several days. Still have bad cramps and am emotional."


"Have used it for about 4 years and it has always given the results that were expected."


"I have been on Saxenda now for one week and lost 15 pounds.  I never in my life had my appetite go away.  Ever since I been on Saxenda I do not get hungry and I cannot even force myself to eat.   I got on the scale after 3 months from being at the doctor and I could not believe my eyes.  I lost that much weight. I am happy and I am going to reach my goal of 40 lbs.  The worst side effect I had was tiredness.  I am always tired but I am hoping to overcome this soon.  If not I can deal with the for another 2 months until I reach my goal. I would suggest this medicine to anyone that is obese and needs help.  This will definitely help with appetite."


"This was my first birth control experience. I have been an emotional wreck since starting the pill. I cry about nothing (used to be more in control of that) and I've gained 10 pounds in 6 months (without changing diet or exercise). I also have felt more tired and incredibly anxious which was unusual. Can someone find a birth control that actually works :)"


"I have been taking Lexapro 20mg daily for 4 years now. Works great on my anxiety. Side effects: better concentration skills for work, lower sex drive but still works, normal appetite, if I miss to many days I lose some of my word memory abilities and a short vocabulary until I get my doses back on a daily regimen. I do have trouble going to sleep but sleep well when I finally get to sleep."


"Oct-2012, Had colectomy with anastimosis because muscle and nerves had stopped working on colon and I let it go too long because nothing helped.  If only I had this few years ago before I gave up hope.  Praying it will save small intestine that's left.  As a Plus, it takes the 8  pain from irritable bowel syndrome flare down to a livable life.  Maximum dose.  If I didn't have a Fibromyalgia flare & lesions formed inside I'd be perfect.  Gives me hope & gives hope to many who were losing options.   Did have to Fight Blue Cross to cover but hey realized it was cheaper than many ER visits for pain & constipation.  Makes life easier. Thank You for helping me get my life back. Had almost given up."


"I am having acne on  back and face for over 7 years, i  tried everything ,and no help, until I got this product it cleared my skin within 2-3 days, I was the happiest teenager ever, however we couldn't keep buying  it since it cost waaaay to much money and my insurance does not cover any of it which really is bad"


"This is the best psych med option I've ever had.  Over a six-year period, I had been prescribed a myriad of medicines for bipolar mania and depression, including: Abilify, Wellbutrin, Zyprexa, Celexa, Prozac, Lithium, Geodon, and Tegretol.  Lamictal has been a Godsend.

Lamictal has not been associated with weight gain nor diabetes (I have type 2, but was diagnosed prior to my prescription).  All psych medicines have side effects, and finding the most benign one can be maddening, and even life-threatening, in my case.  Give this one, at least a shot."


"I have been taking Paxil CR for a few months.  My doctor and I tried many many things.  I think an entire year of my life was spent on playing with medications and dosages.  I am currently taking 37.5 + 12.5 and have been for a while now.  I haven't felt this "steady" in years.  I can leave my apartment feeling "Free" now.  I used to be borderline agoraphobic. I still have a long way to go but Paxil has done NOTHING but GOOD for me. Good Luck!"


"I have been on this medicine for a year now. I have recently realized ( from seeing a new Dr) that I should not have been put on this med. I have to see a cardiologist to get off of Bystolic10 !? Really!? I wish I knew that before I was prescribed this. It's never really kept my blood pressure in check 100%....so I wanted to stop taking it. But when my Dr said I had to see a specialist I was annoyed. I have come to learn that this med is why I have put on so much weight, feel so tired, deal with numb hands. "
