"I decided to take the nuvaring because I'm an insane freak on the pill.  At first I did notice being moody, crying, along with some weird discharge or itching down there. But after a week the it subsided.  My moods are now normal.  I barely feel it inside.  My boob size definitely has increased and my weight is still fine in fact the 5lbs I put on I definitely needed. It's only the first month of use so I definitely have to wait and see how it goes but overall I do love it.  I absolutely hated the pill and how it made me feel and the Nuvaring is nothing like that."


"This was the best option for me. I'm terrible at remembering to take pills. I've had the Implanon for 30 months and for the first 6 months my periods were regular for me. Then for the next 23 months I had no period. Then this last month, I've had four periods. First two were a few days on a few days off. The the third one was 8 days and I'm currently on day 3 of the 4th one.
No pregnancies
Some mood swings
Minimal sex drive
No weight gain
I also didn't take any other medications while I've been on it, except for the occasional Tylenol for minor headaches."


"I'm on the third shot of Depo-Provera. I have no more periods but the side effects right now are horrible. I have headaches, my stomach is hurting painfully most of my time. I've been having hot flashes. I did get dizzy yesterday. But I haven't gained any weight, in fact I've lost 5 pounds but my only concern is my stomach pain, it gives me nausea. I never vomit I only feel like it. It's huge cramping, and sometimes bloating."


"Monday morning I went to my doctor and she diagnosed me with Sinusitis, and prescribed me with Augmentin. I took my first dose at around 11 am, 4 hours later I was feeling terribly nauseous with awful cramps. Though the medication had helped subside the pain in my head, there was a newfound pain in stomach. I stopped taking the medication on Wednesday because the stomach pains were unbearable. In my experience, this medication helped get rid of my sinus infection but now I am suffering through daily nausea and cramps and I have been off the antibiotics for 2 days."


"I have been on Pristiq for 6 days now. I am feeling better, but still have nausea and dizzy but it's getting better. I have never been on any kind of medicines except antibiotics.  I am also still tense but hope that will go away soon.  Reading all of the comments have helped."


"I LOVE the Ortho Evra patch. I used it for 3 years, with no bad side effects. It is great because I was always forgetting the pill. I got off it to try for a baby on July 1st 2011 and got pregnant somewhere around July 6 2011. I fully believe it helped us get pregnant. I will be getting off again in a year to try for our next, and I hope it works like the first time. I will be using the patch for life!"


"I take 200mg od and after the 2nd dose i started feeling chest congestion, dry cough, pain in the diaphragm, loss of appetite and nausea"


"I've been using Xulane for about a year now and before getting switched to Xulane I used Ortho for about a year and a half, sometimes the patch starts to lift on the sides but that was with both Ortho and Xulane. The only side effects I've experienced with both types of patches is cramps. I didn't get cramps with my period until I began using the patches. Other than that I haven't had any other problems with either brand"


"I felt inclined to write a review after reading all the bad ones on here. I have been taking this birth control for almost 4 years now. Firstly, my skin feels and looks amazing and has never been better. My sex drive has not been negatively affected by taking this medication. I highly recommend this birth control for girls looking to increase their breast size (even though I am sure you are perfect the way you are!) I went from a C cup to a full DD. I didn't have any nauseous symptoms with this pill even taking it in the morning on an empty stomach. My period is not heavy either.  Don't be afraid to try this medication, it could work for just like it did for me."


"I suffer from extreme anxiety and severe depression. I have been on Cymbalta for a couple years and it makes me so tired. I couldn't take it anymore. I slept all day. I started Pristiq today around noon. I have noticed a boost in energy and can't stop smiling. The only side effects so far is blurred vision, a little jittery, sweating a lot but I haven't felt happier in years from one day!"


"Give it faith it really works. Had unprotected sex June 12th plan B 11 hours later. Took 2 pregnancy test ( different times over the course of the month) both negative excepted my period a month later July 10 my period never came. Took another test it was negative but still no period. 9 days later July 19 got my period! Give it time!! It really does work!"


"I wish I would have read this before I had taken it. I have been awake for over 24 hours! I've been sick for days and now can't sleep. Yes I can breathe and less congestion but now I'm exhausted."


"The general side effects of dehydration and urination aside, those were not my problem.  Fatigue was the issue.  I was on 100mg to start and noticed after six weeks a decrease in mental acuity -- missing things I might not otherwise, more forgetful.  My dose was increased to 300mg and all I wanted to do was sleep.  Went back down to 100mg, but the exhaustion continues.  Time to try something else."


"so I took this pill July 24th of this year and I was worried. I took it within 12 hours of intercourse and did everything right. I was supposed to get my next period August 15th and it never happened. I was extremely worried and stressing out. The side effects do say that it will be late or early. After a week of a missed period I took pregnancy tests. They came back negative but that didn't satisfy me. I read through the reviews and it calmed my nerves. Today I got my period. September first. Don't worry ladies. Plan B will work!"


"I'm on my 4th week of the patch and I have the most intense bleeding I have EVER had in my life. We are talking super plus tampons AND jumbo pads every few hours. Other than that I haven't had any negative effects. I just switched from the Nexplanon arm implant because I had horrible side effects (lost 20lbs in 3 months, couldn't eat because of nausea, bled for 3 months straight stopped for 2 weeks then bled for 2 more months) but I've had a pretty good experience with the patch so far"


"My miracle pill! I am 22 and my starting weight was 235lbs. Obviously not a good number. I've have tried every gimmick over the past three years since I had my son and nothing has worked. My mother and aunt both had great results, so I finally convinced my doctor to let me try this. Within my first week I had lost 7lbs, which was more than predicted by my doctor. The following two weeks I lost another 6lbs. it may not be much, but for me its amazing since I haven't been able to lose a single pound in the past three years. No side effects yet(knock on wood), however it really does suppress your appetite. I'm not one to force myself to eat; so I did have one day where my blood sugar dropped very low because I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat for about 9 hrs."


"You think that getting a shot is going to make your life easy? yea right! I am 29 years old and had been on the pill for 10 years due to my high blood pressure they put me on the shot go figure. I got a shot on May 20 2015 I weighed 180lb mind you I am tall 5"8 .  I had no real side effects come for the next shot I was 190 a ten pound increase I don't eat junk food. I got horrible headaches stomach cramps and horrible mood swings mostly anger. Now here into Nov. 2015 and I am 196 and have pregant belly and no period since the May 2015. Do not do it"


"Diagnosed with ADD this year, I initially wanted to go without medications. Being a senior in college I have deadlines, and I noticed my grades suffering significantly. I decided to give medications a try. My doctor prescribed a 6-wk starter pack of Strattera (25-80mg). I noticed a difference in attentiveness but after week 4 I felt lethargic, unmotivated, sad, impatient, VERY irritable, and depressed. I didn't go to class, didn't turn in homework and my grades took a deeper dive in that month. My psychiatrist then prescribed Vyvanse (30mg). I have been on it for a month and it helps ME stay focused without losing sleep and decreasing my appetite, best of all my grades are improving! My worse side effect is dry mouth.
Hope this helps(:"


"Prescribed paxil for depression, anxiety and OCD of contamination. I took 10mg of paxil for 1.5 months. I experienced no side effects, which was the only upside. I experienced PPDA only 1 month after my first and only son was born. As a 1st time mom I thought everything I was experiencing was typical, until I began having suicidal thoughts and resorted to self harm, all taking a toll on my relationship w/ my son and husband. Waited for 10 months to finally get help. While taking paxil at first I felt better and more connected to my baby until two weeks later I noticed I felt EXTREMELY unmotivated, lazy, zombieish and uncaring. I went from one extreme with OCD to never cleaning anything ever. So I felt just as depressed as before."


"I had to write a review on this one. I have tried everything possible in the past and nothing has worked this well for me but this med. I was suffering some horrible symptoms of ptsd and it completely was dibilitating to my life, career, social life, and even started to effect my health. I had gone through a rough phase with extraordinary life circumstances as well as serious difficulty coming to terms and adjusting with drastic changes and past trauma haunting me daily, even waking up from dreams with full blown panic attacks. I feel balanced out on this med, my functioning has been restored, so relaxed and calm, able to sleep at night, no more panic, and increased resiliance to stress, please give this a try if you suffer from ptsd......"


"I have been using tramadol for my depression, anxiety, and it has also helped me quit drinking and smoking.

This has been a miracle for my mental health wellness.  I have tried everything and nothing works better than tramadol.  Plus is helped me stop drinking which was huge!"


"I've been taking Gleevec since 2008. I'm 24 now in February 7 2015 I live a normal life. Gleevec and Stanford hospital saved my life I'm 24 now just a kid but I've walked the line and back again I have (all) with ph chromea zone I've done extensive therapy. lucky to be here I'm the light at the end of the tunnel don't give up you can do it my friends my heart goes out to all of my fellow fighters."


"I was working at a plant nursery and watered the plants everyday. I stood in water with converse all stars on for about 3 hours. My feet went numb, which was normal for me. When I got in the shower that night to thaw my feet out they started hurting and black blisters developed. Neurontin did not help much, but the Lyrica took all pain out with no side effects other than feeling a little tired. It saved me from total misery. It is the best medicine I have ever taken."


"Before my period every month, I get awful constipation for about a week before. I usually just wait is out because it eventually just goes away. But this time, I tried something new. I took 2 Ducolax last night around 9 and woke up at 9:30 with severe nausea and cramping. Let's just say, after hours upon hours today of the worst stomach cramps possible, crying, sweating, and throwing up, I'm exhausted. It kept it's word, it relieved all my constipation and I feel great now, I just wish all the side effects that came with taking it weren't so bad."


"I've had it put in since 6 weeks after my 2nd son was born. It's been 6 months. Bled and spotted for 3 months and then stopped. I love everything except the mood swings and anxiety. I'm not the same with my family. Also my sex drive but if I can only get a hold on this anger I believe my sex drive would get better. Going to talk with my doctor about it and go from there. Hopefully it gets better."


"This birth control I do like but it's not made for the weak. I've been bleeding since the SECOND week of having it, I got it in September it's now almost December. My obgyn prescribed birth control pills which she said I can only use for a MONTH! The cravings are crazy & I'm also so much meaner than I was before. I've gained weight, which is a plus for me but may not be for someone else. I now get acne that I didn't get before and my breast are always tender (they've grown but they HURT) I feel the rod release the hormone too, which is painful but other than all that it is effective and unlike depo, I'm not as weak and tired anymore & my headaches aren't as strong and my bones don't ache nor does my joints anymore."


"I've been using the patch for about 6 years, and it's been great. No babies, it's done its job, lighter periods. I occasionally forget to change it and always get scared it'll effect it, but the directions help to explain what to do if miss a day, and it never effected me. I put it on the back of my lower legs, and alternate every week to avoid rashes. I shave the small area right before applying the patch and it makes it really easy to take off, doesn't hurt. Only thing with the leg, pants make the surrounding get black fuzzier. I've been having a problem with lack of sec drive and interest lately (past 2yrs) and I'm starting to wonder if it's from the patch... if  going in hot tube or swimming vaca put a bandage over it itll fall off."


"Does not work at all for me."


"I was diagnosed with severe generalized anxiety, mood instability and had pretty bad insomnia, where I would wake up mid sleep approximately 4 times a night. I've taken Cipralex (20mg) for a year and I've been on Seroquel(25mg) for about 5 months and I find that I'm able to think more clearly and act less impulsively. With my anxiety the physical symptoms have decreased quite a bit though mentally I am in control of my thoughts. As for sleep, I sleep a solid 8 hours a night usually undisturbed. I did experience a bit of a weight gain though (10-20 pounds)."


"I'm 41 and was prescribed provera because on August 23 of this month will be 3 months I haven't had my period! I have been reading about it like crazy! My test results came back normal! Can someone tell me that after the 10th day on the pill I will get my period! I have severe headaches and bloating!"


"With this medication, which I was on for a month at 0.5 mg, I felt nauseous constantly, I felt feverish, and I gained 10 pounds without having much of an appetite. I developed restless legs, shaking and tremors. At one point, I fainted and fell to the floor shaking. It never relieved any of my symptoms. It was only like taking a pill that made me sick. Now, I'm not saying this isn't the right medication for YOU, only that it had these adverse effects on me."


"Have three fingernails with a problem. Been taking the medication for 6 months now. One nail is cleared up but not the other two. Seems to help if you lightly file the top of the nail occassionally before applying. Perhaps this helps the medication penetrate the nail. That's the whole problem with nail fungus. You've got to get the medication to the fungus or nothing happens. My PPO plan must be good because my cost is only $40/month with the first month free. "


"By far the best medication I have tried for ADHD. It is great for someone who also social anxiety or anxiety in general. With Ritalin I had many negative side effects one of which is anxiety. Dexedrine is great. I do not even need to take my clonazepam (Klonopin) during the day because Dexedrine is so smooth."


"I am a poster child for Ambien and have been taking it for 2 months now and it has been a life saver.  Without it I would average at the most 3 hours sleep and that was after fighting sleep for about 6 hours."


"If taken as directed, this though short lasting medication, is a very effective treatment for the prevention and release from panic and anxiety attacks."


"I have been on Depo for 16 years. It's effective! No kids! I started seeing side effects around year 6 which included a little facial hair. Around year 19 I gained about 25 pounds (I went from 120 to about 145) it's still so worth it. No periods and no cramps after year 1! I take calcium supplements and I lift heavy weights so along with getting bone density test-so far so good."


"Little beneficial change in mood with serious vomiting problems"


"This medication is a lifesaver."


"I been on contrave for 1week and 2 days . I already lost 10 lbs I'm so excited. It curbs my appetite. I had no side effect ."


"Made my blisters worse and didn't  relieve
my pain . It's  too expensive  to not work. Will never buy  again"


"Just completed my best man speech at my brothers wedding, which i was really stressing about, due to me having issues in freezing up etc, and this drug helped me so much.

I delivered the speech very confident and everyone was laufhing and congradulating me afterwards.

Thinking now of going into politics lol."


"Been on it since Feb 1st 2016..I am 5'2" and started at 228. .as of today July 8th 2016 I am now  188..began in a size 22 in jeans and 1x-2x tops...now size 12-14 jeans and lg-xlge tops. It doesn't suppress appetite so don't expect it too..it just teaches us to control cravings...don't expect to lose weight without diet and exercise with this..if so, this pill is not for you..this is best raw opinion and results in can give...good luck!! Hope this helps!!!

Ps....try applying for the Takeda assistance program..they will help with paying with med if u are having  trouble!!"


"Prescribed for kidney stone to pass through ureter. Worked like a charm."


"23 with no children, I've had Skyla for almost a year now. I'm an active duty military spouse so I paid absolutely nothing for this IUD. I was on the depo shot for several years and experienced pretty severe weight gain but had no periods, light occasional cramping. Then I switched to the pill for several more years, towards the end I had regular once a month periods with controlled weight and no acne but excruciating breast and head pains. Which was the deciding factor to change. My doctor and I opted for Skyla hoping to eliminate my previous symptoms. So far, I've had absolutely no periods, no spotting and no cramping. My head aches have improved for the most part. No breast pain yet, but I have experienced acne and weight gain."


"Started this years ago due to a cyst that formed on my ovary. Stopped taking it after the cyst got smaller and eventually dissolved. A few yrs later I spoke with my doctor about starting back on birth control.  He put me on another pill for 3 months but I hated it. Had mood swings, irregular periods etc. Told him about what I was experiencing and he said my  body had to adjust. Tried it for 2 more months and still had bad symptoms so I requested to be put back on reclipsen. It has worked really well. My periods are regular and no adverse effects.  I have now been on this consistently for several years."


"I was put on Xarelto in July of 2015. I had my a very large blood clot that covered my whole left leg.. I took the drug regularly not missing a pill. I had another ultrasound droppler done on the same leg just week ago and I have another blood clot in same leg. Now this drug says your not suppose to get any more blood clots while on the drug. Well it never worked for me..."


"Effexor gave me my life back. I was so with anxiety for months to the point I would not come out of my room all I was doing was crying I thought I was having a break down. I'm taking 75mg at night at first I felt sick and dizzy but after about 4 weeks I started to feel better. I've been taking them now for 8 weeks and I feel back to normal. I'm back in work full time I still get the odd bad day but that's to be expected. Don't know what I would have done without this medicine. Please be patient with this medication I know it's hard but after 4-6 weeks you will feel better. Good luck with it all I know it's really hard but you will get better."


"This really works.  But use the head of a pin to apply it.  That will keep it off your healthy skin.  Use a hair dryer to dry the medicine.  It will burn healthy skin, but if you are careful it will be fine.  Warts fell off in 4 days."


"20mg usually works great for me, as long as I do not wait too long to take it.  I weigh almost 90 lbs.  When more than several hours have passed since the start of the headache I take 40mg.   I ended up prefering Relpax (eletriptan) to sumatriptan.  Perhaps because it works better or perhaps because it is more convenient pill (no need to split).
I feel that it has a pain blocking effect for up to two days after taking it.
My headaches originate from neck positions and movements and are about once a week."


"Lexapro is extremely helpful in reducing my generalized anxiety disorder. I need to take a Xanax very very rarely in case of panic attack or severe anxiety that the Lexapro doesn't cut it but 98% of the time Lexapro knocks out my feelings of rumination from generalized anxiety, panic and fear."


"Have been taking Toprol for about 7 years now, 50mg once a day. During a recent health fair at work, my blood pressure was really high. Made an appoinment with the Doctor that day to re-evaluate and was found to be running a little high, 145/94. Doctor added an additional 50mg a day. "


"I have prostate cancer. The doctor prescribed Avodart and my PSA went from 10.6 to 2.1 in two weeks."


"I was having sore throat, swollen tonsils, dry cough, and mucus. After 3 days with 500mg every 12hours of Claritromycin, my throat got better, productive cough and feeling better in general with more energy. Side effects bad mouth taste (bitter) specially at nights at the bed."


"Having had panic attacks for decades when doing presentations, interviews, standing in line at the grocery shop, taking care of bank errands, sitting in meetings, talking on the phone...and on it goes...propranolol has really helped a lot.

I still get the dooming feelings before the attacks and I'm still sweating, but I'm not going completely blank or shake until I fall out of my chair. Actually, when it's my turn, I'm pretty cool besides the sweating but that's not a big issue for me."


"I started on 50 mcg. patch then subsequently moved to 75 and 100 mcg. strength over two years.  I got tired of the patches not lasting three days and being on them, so my doctor helped me get off them.  Now, three months later, I am miserable with pinched nerves that wake me up every hour at night and nothing else is working.  So, I plan to go back on them on a temporary basis -- until I can have decompression surgery in the summer.  The problem is no patch I've used, and have tried many (gel, matrix, five different brands) is I got one full day without breakthrough meds, had to use breakthrough after 48 hours, and the patch was totally useless after 48 hours, which made me use up a lot of breakthrough medication."


"I have had Hep C for over 15 years and never treated.  Genotype 4.  I took Harvoni with Ribavirin for 12 weeks and after the first 8, my viral load was negative.  It feels good.  After the first month, my skin tone came back to Olive and not pasty white like before.  I had diarrhea and insomnia with nausea and very tired.  It was well worth the symptoms to be free of this virus.  I go back for my blood work in 2 1/2 months to see if I have been cured but I am positive the results will be excellent.  This is a miracle cure and I feel very grateful to be able to receive it."


"My neurologist put me on 4x4mg Periactin at night as a preventative for chronic migraine. I was aware of the weight gain possibility & started running & yoga. I slowly gained 5kg in 5 months. Upon noticing this, I tried even harder. With time & dedication, I was able to exercise & eat my way back down to my normal skinny weight. When I'm hit with a carb craving (which is pretty often) I eat 30mg of a healthy carb (such as a 2 inch chunk of carrot). It satisfies perfectly as long as you havent consumed a protein in the last 2 hrs. Do not turn to fatty carbs.
The drowsiness also wore off in the first week.
I am the healthiest & best version of myself, thanks to migraines. Choose not to be a victim. I now run charity marathons & have kept my career."


"Might work for others, but I came down with most of the adverse side effects within hours of taking one 500mg tab. Ended up in emergency 12 hours later with difficulty breathing from swollen airways. Hives. Scary part was how it can effects the mind. I had residual effects for a number of days."


"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've taken Goody's Powers and BC Powers off and on for decades. It really does work! It's bad for the stomach, but most all these medicines/drugs/prescriptions are bad for the stomach. It works quickly & affectively.Within 20 minutes or less you will feel the pain subside. I prefer it over the bottles of headache meds. It would be nice it it came in the form of tablets, capsules even gels. If wanting to try, just put the power on the back of your tongue and swallow with a glass of sweet tea or juice. It makes it bearable for those that don't like the taste or can't stand it. I usually drink water, but I'm accustomed to it. That reminds me there's Standback Powers also. Try not to take more than is actually needed... less is better."


"Today is my third day on Tenuate. I am taking the 75 mg once per day and have found that it works really well when I take it on an empty stomach with a FULL glass of water. I lost about 30 lbs on my own and then got stuck because I could not overcome being hungry all the time. So I went to a weight loss clinic and was prescribed this pill. In the last three days, I have had so much energy, no problems sleeping and my appetite has decreased enough that I can stick to my 1100 calories per day with no problem. I am already down 8 lbs. I know I won't lose like this every week, but it is nice to be out of the rut I was in!"


"I took trazodone for over a year with no problems. Best sleep aid I ever had.  All of the sudden it started giving me priapism.  Ended up in the hospital for 16 hours and it wasn't pleasant (300 mg).  I scaled back all of the way to 25 mg and ended up in the hospital for 5 hours.  Now that I'm off of it, my sleeping is terrible.  I have a hard time waking up.

I miss trazodone.  I can't find anything else like it."


"Because of PCOS my chin hairs were getting to the point they were dark and long and I swear if I didn't pluck every other day I would have a full beard. "


"The last time I took it, it worked very well. It took a lot longer to kick in than xanax, but also kept working longer. It also helped with some of my chronic pain, which was nice."


"1/10 does not even begin to describe my awful experience with this pill. I was on this pill for almost a week and had to stop it due to EXTREME mood swings and massive depression and anxiety. I have been on SSRIs for 7 years now and my depression and anxiety are relatively under control. From the minute I started this bc, I started gaining weight, breaking out and having intense mood swings to the point where I thought I needed to go to the hospital. My breaking point with this bc was one night when I went through the cycle of angry/violent thoughts, to intense anxiety, to feeling completely normal. That cycle happened about 5 times in an hour. After this experience I am now terrified to try another birth control method besides condoms."


"I was psyching myself out reading the 'pain' stories on here. I wanted to write a positive review so others wouldn't be scared. Make sure to go to a good, experienced gynecologist. My monthly periods were more painful than insertion. It was not bad AT ALL. The worst part was the clamp to hold your cervix open. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Not bad. I did not faint, cry, scream... nothing. Anti-climactic. I am loving my Skyla. I will post again after 3 months. I had light spotting after insertion for a day or so. That's it. Good luck!"


"Switched to Abilify from a high dose of Risperdal. Weight gain much less of an issue with Abilify, but drowsiness, depression and lethargy are a problem. Does not help with any negative symptoms. Abilify maintains a mental state with minimal psychotic symptoms for me, but also causes lactation and motivational problems."


"At around 14, I went from beautiful ice white skin to a horrible battle zone on my face. My forehead and chin were covered in severe acne. I tried everything. Murad, proactive you name it. I wouldn't take pics, I was so ashamed. Hard enough bein a teen! Long story short, I researched And found that ortho tri cyclen was affective. I requested it before they were gonna put me on Accutane (noooo!) & within 3 months my skin was CLEAR and still is. I was 17, now I'm 22. Sometimes you have to research for yourself and be your own advocate with doctors. If not, I would of been put on accutane. The first week you will be a little nauseated on the pill, but it goes away and your periods are only 3 days long with no cramps! Life saver"


"I have been taking  Invokana   100mg for 1 yr
No side effects blood sugar 5.2
Lost 60lbs  I feel great . I just pee 5x a night"


"I found ever since I've been on tegretol my seizures have stopped"


"I've been on antidepressants for years and suffered from chronic pain that was finally diagnosed as fibromyalgia.  I started on Cymbalta about 5 years ago because the pain was becoming more than I could deal with and my doctor had read good reviews about patients reactions with this medicine.  I never had any problem with the medicine and haven't noticed any major side effects.  It has really cut the pain to a manageable level and kept my spirits up."


"Prevented pregnancy; however, caused me to gain 15 lbs, break out badly on my face, have mood swings weekly, and be dry as a bone during sex"


"I was prescribed this on a Friday  for a sinus and middle ear infection by that next Sunday I was feeling a little better, started feeling worse Monday night, went to school on Tuesday had to go home early because of a low fever. The whole time I have been taking this medicine I have had a sharp pain in my nose when I breathe through my nose I can also smell the medicine, I have had pain so bad in my legs and knees to where it hurts to move, and I've also been slightly forgetful. My ear pain has gotten worse to where it wakes me up. I have never had a medicine that has done this to me in the past."


"I suffered with eczema as a child. I'm now forty two years old. I have found Desoximetasone to be the most effective medication for treating this condition. It is also very effective when used in conjunction with an antihistamine, such as allegra."


"It works but I think it might be the effect from having extra energy so you do more things.  It definitely helps with motivation and depression.  Ironically it got rid of my anxiety as well."


"I had to stop taking Gildess when my insurance changed, but for a review:

I took Gildess for over two years, I've never had any issues. Yes I gained some weight, then I lost it. Yes my acne fluctuated.. this relates to stress levels as well. Overall it did a great job keeping me child free and I had no issues with it at all. Fingers crossed my new BC is just as good."


"Hi. I was given this medication for ibs d, not constipation. I took one pill and it increased the d part for a day. After that, my ibs d symptoms are almost gone. After three years of having to know where a bathroom was every minute, this is a miracle. Just wanted folks with ibs d that this may work for them. One pill did it."


"I was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease and osteoarthritis last year, not so bad if you're 75 but I'm 26.  I've had symptoms of this since about 14 or 15.  After 10  years my doctor finally believed me and accepted the fact that I was in real pain (this is finally after 2 well known orthopedic surgeons discussed their diagnoses with him).  He gave me Norco 7.5's, which didn't do much but introduce my liver to a lot of acetaminophen.  He then added fentanyl 50mcg/hr patch 1 every 72 hrs."


"I feel better."


"This medication ruined me. When I was in my freshman year of high school I could see no point in living. I started taking this in the second grade and now it has literally no effect. I was failing all of my classes and I gave up on trying to go to college, this drug makes you think their are two yous, the medicine "normal" or the non medicated "annoying". The only reason doctors give this to people is to get money, scheduling appointments every 3 months."


"So there's many opinions out there about the Nexplanon/Implanon. When reading everything, always know that ALL BIRTH CONTROL AFFECTS EVERYONE VERY DIFFERENTLY- not 1 person will be affected the same way. I had the implant placed February 2014 and got it removed July 2015- a year and a half. I loved it- at first, I had regular periods and then about 4 months in they would come every now and then but be very light so it was not a problem. At about a year, I stopped having periods altogether... but I also lost my sex drive completely. Being married, it is a very big issue to not have a sex drive. I did gain a little bit of weight, but nothing too crazy. I got it removed before the 3 year mark MAINLY because of my loss of sex drive."


"My doctor put me on Indomethacin during a Gout attack. She said that taking Colcrys during a flare up can dislodge uric acid crystals from other parts of the body, which can end up in the affected area, making it worse. After 13 days I am on Colcrys. A little bit of upset stomach, but I will trade it for the pain any day. Manufacturer has printable coupons and voucher to help with the cost. Good luck."


"Sharp pains randomly through the cycle. Prolonged periods up to 13 days of bleeding. Excessive blood loss lead to fatigue, emotional instability, dry flakey skin and scalp, brittle hair as well as hair loss and I'm only 22. Reoccurring yeast infections almost every other month. Stopped pregnancy but wasn't worth the side effects. Had it just over a year."


"I was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome when I was 11 years old. I had tried a couple of medications before this one that didn't help too much. Although this medication helped tremendously, the side effects were too much. My appetite greatly increased on top of gaining weight from the medication itself. I had no energy and had gained 100 pounds within a year. I am now 25 years old and this medication changed my relationship with food. I recently had bypass surgery due to overeating throughout my life as well as an inability to lose enough weight trying methods like healthy diet and exercise. Although this medication is helpful treating the tics, please use with caution."


"Was on phenergan for years. It worked perfectly!  However, the side effects of phenergan were making my restless leg worse. They switched me to Tigan. It's pretty good. It just doesn't completely wipe out all the nausea or last as long as phenergan, but it definitely works for me!"


"The first time I took this I got a severe panic attack. It felt like I couldn't breathe, my heart was racing and chest hurt. It did nothing for the pain or any of the other things associated with migraines. I did try it once more, as per my Dr, and it happened all over again. Maxalt is what I use now."


"Very good"


"35 years old, just been diagnosed "Bipolar 1" 3 days ago, taking 1-3 tabs Lithium a day for starters combined with 150 mg Wellbutrin.  Amount is at my discretion? Not a good idea for a substance abuser, so my poor lovely wife doles out all meds for me.  My Father, brother, sister all have Bipolar 1, I've been denying it for quite a while but recently the highs have been too great, and the lows equally opposite, scheming a way to off myself so my wife gets life insurance.  This is all about 10 years over due if it works, I'm pessimistic.  Day 4 though, have to say I felt pretty good considering last night I was about to call Oakland PD to come to my day job and save me from jumping, not joking.  I hope this works, any feedback?"


"I have suffered with hot flashes since my late teens and began menopause at 50. I tried Effexor XR just to see if it would help and was so surprised with the RELIEF that I got from it. It helped so much. It didn't stop them. I don't think anything can, but it sure did cut the number of hot flashes by at least half. When I do have one, it's a butt-kicker, but by cutting the number in half, my quality of life has been improved so much. Between the Effexor XR and Topamax putting a complete halt to my migraines, life is really good again!"


"I have been taking Pristiq for 3 months. Wonderful medication.  I feel great! The only side effect I have is so much night sweats I have to keep a second pajamas next to my bed because mine gets soaked. I was wondering if this side effect will get better. I am very reluctant to change this medicine because of this effect because other anti-depressants had the same effect and did not work as well."


"I've been taking Natazia for 2 months after being on Yaz for 2 years. I'm having a problem with bloating on this pill. I gained about 5 pounds within the first few weeks of taking it, which I can only attribute to excess fluid retention. I feel so fat on this pill, despite the fact that I work out all the time. I had clear skin while on Yaz, and am now getting acne on my back and my neck. Also, Natazia is supposed to reduce your period, but I have seen no change in mine. I'll be going back to Yaz next month."


"I have been a terrible underarm sweater for years.. To the point where I thought about getting Botox injections under my arms. I went to doc and she prescribed this stuff... No joke after I nights use I don't think I have had one drop of sweat under my arms for 2 days, miracle in a bottle!!! Use it!!!"


"This medicine should be removed from the market. I'm itching like crazy.... What was the point of taking this?? I was expecting relief. It made my symptoms much, much worse.
Do not use this product!"


"I got the implant inserted at the end of April last year. I found the insertion a bit painful, but it was probably because I was stressing about it! (So try and stay calm - and definitely look away if you don't like needles). Overall I like the implant and how hassle free it is. I have had some problems with on/off bleeding though, so I use norethisterone sometimes to settle it down However I could bleed again at any time and I have no idea when that might be, which is a bit annoying. My skin is also constantly breaking out with hormonal spots, which is even worse when I'm taking norethisterone. Apart from that, no problems :)"


"Levoflox great antibiotic against epididymitis, resolved @day 3 after start. 500mg one daily. Only some tendinitis, Otherwise healthy adult male"


"I was prescribed Hydromet Syrup for a persistent cough while I had an upper respiratory infection.  Although it seemed to take about 10 minutes to take effect, it did significantly reduce my cough.  I felt only mildly sleepy for a few minutes after taking it and I could easily use it while working.  Taking it before bed, it stopped me from waking every 1/2 hour with a coughing fit.  Although I have sometimes felt nauseous when taking hydrocodone (Vicodin), I did not experience any stomach upset with this syrup."


"I'm on week 3 of phentermine. I have lost a total of 14 pounds. 7 pounds the first week, 4 the second and 3 the third week. I have made big changes in my diet, I haven't been drinking alcohol or eating unhealthy foods. I have noticed a huge change in my appetite, I just don't feel hungry like I used to. I'm eating about 1,000 calories a day, just to stay healthy, and not pass out. I've been working out about 4-5 days a week, I have much more energy right after taking the pill in the morning, so I try to get my work out in then. I would recommend this for anyone who is serious about wanting to lose weight, but it is a lifestyle change. I have a friend who lost 30 pounds in 3 months, stopped taking the pill for one month and she put on 17 lb"


"I've recently gone off Lortab and have started taking Ultram. Initially I was worried about the side affects and with Lortab withdrawl (I have bursitis and a frozen shoulder). Well this medicine works far better for my shoulder and back and over all pain, everyone can tell the diffence in me. I too can't be without it. They are now talking about surgery next month. So we will see."


"Excited to be starting this Biologic as hospital team assured me it was really suitable for the effective  treatment of my psoriatic arthropathy and psoriasis.
By the fourth weekly injection I had had two chest infections and the most horrible urinary tract infection.  Three lots of antibiotics and a 7 lb. weightloss due to being so sick, I admitted defeat and didn't take the 5th dose.
Admittedly the arthropathy eased slightly during the injection period but this was more likely due to the enforced bed rest due to being so ill than to the effects of the Cosentyx.
Goodbye Cosentyx. Going back to Arcoxia."


"Had to take this for a week straight 2x day, makes your body super tired, diarrhea, loss of appetite... slightly irritable, dry mouth, upset stomach ( cramps ) also back and thigh pain. All in all it seems to be working on my lady parts. Good Luck to anyone else!!"


"I had my first yeast infection this week, I was beyond scared! I bought Miconazole 3 from CVS (the 3 day combination pack, it came with 3 prefilled applicators and a small tube of external vulvar cream). On the first night that I used the inserts (the prefilled applicator), it started to itch even more for like 15-30 minutes! I was really scared, then I read the side effects. After the intense itching, it instantly started to cool down and when I woke up the next morning I felt 100% better! The swelling, itching and irritation were gone. It was worth the brief itching side effect. I also love the vulvar cream that comes with it. It really does work! I kept using the treatment for the entire 3 days even though I was feeling better. Worth it!"


"In my experience this has worked wonderfully! I have no problems with weight, if anything I feel like it helps me loose weight, I've had no problems just the usual symptoms when your first start taking it. This birth control is really effective. If any accidents happen you'll be fine, there's plenty of times I thought I would get pregnant but it worked and my period came. I really have nothing bad to say and I'll continue to take it, even if u don't take it at exactly 9:00pm for an example, and u take it a little later you'll be fine just as long as you take one each day. Hope this helped, I recommend  (:"


"Well, I would like to say Simponi has been very effective for me.  From my first shot to the sixth the shot I just received this month the Simponi removed my symptons of AS to the point where I feel normal.  Before being diagnosed and receiving Simponi I was in pain constantly and taking meds that were basically for gout which what I was being treated for before my diagnosis for AS. One month the doc tried Remicade but it was ineffective for me.  The Simponi has given me back normality at least in the sense of physical well-being. It has been wonderful for me and my family as they don't have to worry about helping me when I have symptoms of swelling and pain. In fact I noticed that When i get scratches my wounds even heal faster. Thanks,"


"I am on day 5 of Campral. The first day I took it, it was like the depressed empty void inside of me (which I now know to be alcohol withdrawal), was filled and I felt whole again. Now, day 5, I feel even better. It's like a dream to be free of cravings and withdrawal, I spent so many years drinking and now I have my life back. It's opened my eyes to what it is to feel normal. No side effects, and I'm on four tablets a day. I tried Aa/Na for 2 years but couldn't stay sober longer than 8 months. Finally I have some peace of mind, no cravings at all, and I'm functioning like a normal person. Thank you doc."


"Whilst this medication IS the miracle worker we all find very helpful, the most important ingredient is your female partner! I am 72 and my wife of 62 looks in her early forties, has an excellent figure for her age and is still a turn on to me after 43 years of marriage!

Teenagers are supposed to think about sex every fifteen minutes and if that is the case then I am ageing in reverse.

At our ages, we don't have trembling, earth shattering sex. Sometimes it is great, others about average and with the occasional dud thrown in!

So I need this drug all the time? Nope! But if I feel like having a great night of sex I knock down a 100 mg tab!"


"Was taking it for Bipolar, am also suffering from insomnia and this helped both very much!"


"I heard from a lady I work with about Fastin and she told me it worked well for her.  So I came on this site and read the reviews. I was concerned with a lot of reviews stating that the were side effects such as pounding/racing heart and jitters. Dospite the reviews, I still ordered the pills. After receiving the pills, I still waited a few days before starting because I was terrified of the side effects. So I finally started taking the pills a week ago. I started taking just half a pill in the morning and half after lunch like recommended in a review I read.  After a couple days I began taking a whole pill after breakfast and a whole after lunch. I have had no side effects at all and have lost 5 lbs in 1 week"


"I promised myself that if this worked I would write a review because I stressed hardcore. I'm 18 years old and my boyfriend (19) and I had sex with a condom and it broke. We didn't know it broke until after he finished. I was also ovulating at the time. Talk about bad luck, so we instantly left and went to our local store and got the pill. I took it around an hour after it happened. It is a powerful pill with a lot of side effects, but they're all worth it if you don't want a baby just yet. Got my period a couple days early about a week after taking the pill."


"One application on alternating days in conjunction with fluocinonide topical for two weeks. After bath and thorough foot scrub, apply Rea Lo or fluocinonide first, then regular lotion (I use Vanicream), then occlude with wet wrap therapy method (saran wrap was suggested as alternative, but I found wet wrap much more comfortable to sleep with: put damp socks on over treated feet, then dry socks over damp socks to keep). Great improvement early on, I expect improvement continued, but was less evident in second week. Treatment completed until eczema flares up again. Also helped hands substantially, even though I used less intensive application."


"So long story short contracted the clap from a boyfriend who had sex with a girl who waited months to tell him that she had it. Yay me. Took four pills with little in my stomach, ate a couple hours before. Let's just say I'd hate me if I were my toilet. I'm currently on it with diarrhea pooping (have been for 30 mins) my life away while my stomach makes these weird sounds. I feel nauseous but I don't think I'm going to throw up. Sucks to suck. I would say have safe sex but it's already too late if you're up here so that's pointless. But I will say I'm sorry and prepare for your colon cleanse. I feel pounds lighter!"


"I started out taking Tri Sprintec as a teenager. (16).  Never had any problems.  Had to switch to sprintec because of break through bleeding in my 20's.  I am now 37 and still take Sprintec.  I have never had any problems with it.  After taking it so long it has become a morning habit. When I don't need it anymore then I will feel old. Ha"


"I'm finishing up my first month on Spintec. So far here's what I've gotten out of it. I do not feel like it has made me gain weight at all, possibly even helped to loose some. Normal appetite and my mood seems stable (I'm kind of an emotional mess anyways so i'll just say its not worsened). My breasts have been soooo tender all month, like everyday. But the part that's bothering me most is breaking out- I read a lot of people were on this bc to control breakouts. I started taking it for hormonal balance and to prevent pregnancy. I rarely ever have noticeable acne on my face, but these last two week I've had horrible breakouts on my chin, forehead, and sides on face. I really hope its just the initial hormonal changes and it will clear up."


"It works well as a maintenance medicine. I take it morning and night but it doesn't replace your emergency inhaler."


"worked well for its immediate effects, did nothing noticeable in the long term."


"I love what Lamictal has done for me. It's a mood stabilizer that should be prescribed secondarily alongside with another medicine for bi-polar disorder. Mine is the anti-psychotic Geodon, which I slowly came off of over 6 months wanting to get pregnant, but unfortunately, I ended up in the hospital in a severe manic episode with following depression as usual even though I stayed on the Lamictal. I have taken Lamictal for 7 yrs and its wonderful to not have depressive episodes and mood swings. I take an awesome combination with the Geodon and I Highly recommend it to Bi-Polar 1 sufferers."


"I should be on 93 mg but she started me on 40 mg to see how I react.  She told me it worked from the inside out and that any acne that was on its way would still come but at some point it would get better.  I waited for whatever was already coming and I had basically nothing appear.  I hate using lotion but have been using cetaphil lotion in fear of what may happen if I don't.  I have noticed a little drying on my chin but have been able to contain it using the lotion.  My lips have been the only real side effect.  After 14 days I have noticed a change to the amount of blackheads.  By 11 PM each day I have very few which is amazing.  I still have a long way to go."


"I read all the reviews prior to trying this injection, so i was quite apprehensive. Honestly best contraception i have ever used. Have had no side effects, no bleeding and don't ever get my period and it is 100x more convenient than taking the pill. I have been using it for almost 12 months. My advice for people is don't get too concerned by reading all the reviews, obviously drugs react with people differently so for some people it may not be suitable but it is great for me!"


"Dr put me on 10mg. I have had major sleep problems for years and suffer migraines with aura. For days I don't sleep at all. 10mg did nothing for me. Bumped it to 20mg and while I don't feel sleepy I do eventually fall asleep if I lay there. Usually 3 or 4 am. Since I never sleep this was a good sign. Also I woke about 730am feeling great. Wide awake, not drowsy or tired. No headache which is also not my norm as I always wake up with a headache if I sleep. This has gone on for 14 days now.  While its not perfect, I feel so good all day it's the best thing to happen to me in 7 years. I hope it continues."


"So it'should been about a year since I've had my Skyla inserted. I did have some major cramps the day of insertion,but since then A BREEZE!!! I did not have to have any adjustmentsuggestions since the intial insertion. No complications that I am aware. My period last have been predictable, regular, and even shorter (dare I say). Loving it!!! Also, since it was consider preventative medication it for

was FREE ...thank you PRESIDENT OBAMA!!"


"Back surgery"


"I was getting frustrated with doing a lot of exercising and eating right but not losing weight. Diabetes runs in my family. I decided to make one last attempt at asking my endocrinologist for something to help. As I had asked a few Drs before but they would say, say exercise and cut your calories. Anyhow I got given the Saxenda, I had some mild nausea in the beginning. I've lost 13 pound in 1 month. I still exercise and eat healthy. However, I did not exercise much 1 week, only 3 times and still lost weight. For me it worked great. Suppressed my appetite, a little tiredness . But worth it. Now I'm just worried about maintaining my weight loss. That's the hardest part. Will have to talk to Dr. About it when I get there."


"I have been taking Nubain 2x a day for 11 years without ever needing to increase my dosage except for during hospital stays. I take it IV with Phenergan and it has allowed me to work a job AND enjoy watching my children throughout their recreational activities. Before Nubain I pretty much remained on the couch."


"I have been on Contrave for 5 days. I told my doctor that I could not take anything that would make me tired during the day or give me insomnia. Score!  I do have chronic headaches and currently take no meds.  My doctor gave me the first starter bottle free because she wanted to make sure I could tolerate it before investing.  I am currently taking one pill per day.  Two hours after I take it, it's like a "one-glass-of-wine" feeling.  I'm less stressed and have absolutely no appetite.  Some foods that I generally like don't even taste good.  I'm hoping the meds will continue to be successful.  My mouth is a bit dry, but nothing significant.  I also have headaches, but that's typical.  I've already lost weight and NO FATIGUE!"


"Took Ranexa for a short period and experienced severe urinary symptoms. After being examined by a Nephrologist, I was found to have an acute kidney failure. He immediately took me off Ranexa - and with long and disciplined treatment I was brought back to "almost normal" kidney function. However, it is clear from my regular blood tests over several years that Ranexa has caused lasting kidney damage which shows evidence of being permanent.."


"I am always crying and moody (my poor boyfriend). Sometimes, it is never that serious and I would realize that the next day. I'm 21 and in college and that is stressful enough. I have my sex drive still intact, but I am always hungry (I've always been this way but know it is out of control)! I eat everything in sight. This is becoming really expensive for me and my boyfriend. Other than that I have regulated less painful periods, no bloating, and they are very on time. I like it because of the low hormone levels but I am emotional."


"I have been on Belviq for 2 weeks now. The only side effect I have had is a few hours of dry mouth on the first day. No other side effects since. I am now eating much less than normal and am not hungry. It works great at making you not want to eat. I have lost 4 lbs and am not even trying. Great medicine for those who can't lose weight on their own!"


"I think maybe the 19 year old should have had something like Clonazepam prescribed as well.  I've been taking 150 mg of "V" in the PM for awhile now and at first in the morning I feel really shaky all over and wonder if I made a mistake, then I take 0.5 mg, the lowest dose of Clonazepam and I level off and stay that way the rest of the day."


"Out of all the medications my son uses, this is very helpful.  To my surprise this medication is discontinued in the USA and overseas. This is a very old medication and works wonderful to help my son carry out a normal life for himself. Please let us all vote and have this medication back in the pharmacy. Thank you. "


"This have been a very good medication for me. I still have some symptoms like voices, and seeing things that are not there but, I am able to realize that they are not real and I can better take control of the situation."


"I usually take Diflucan but I'm 5 weeks pregnant.   My ob didn't want to risk it.  So I was told to take the otc creams.   Biggest mistake of my LIFE!!   first use wasn't bad. Did another last night.  Burned, itched and was worse than the first.  Today though in the afternoon I felt better.  I did my 3rd dose tonight and I'm in tears.  It hurt and burned so I used the anti itch cream.  That caused everything to instantly swell! I managed to shower and get the external cream out but I'm just sitting here rocking back and forth to get the rest out.  I don't think my vag had this much swelling and pain with a 4th degree tear after childbirth  :-("


"I am a student who has used Vyvanse for the last few years. I am currently taking 40mg-50mg. When I first tried it, a couple side effects were annoying but it didnt last that long. When I was in High School, most of the day I felt like doing my work and getting stuff done, and it made me see the positive in things. And  in college when I take it, especially on my days off, I get a lot of work done. I am not a very talkative person, but it made me feel like having nice conversations with people. In mid day, I am in a great mood, but sometimes it goes away every now and then. I dont feel like eating almost all day, but Its smart to eat breakfast before hand, and then dinner. I do have a small crash at the end of the day but it's worth it."


"Starting taking this med after bleeding duodenal ulcer put me in hospital-Took for 2 weeks but my sugars started spiking near 400 no matter what I ate.  This is not the drug for me or possibly any other diabetics out there with sugar control issues."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I am a big guy, 6'3", 265 lbs. I took first dose at 5pm, gulped it down in 5 min immediate followed by required water over the next 20 min. Did not use any tricks just gulped it down...wasn't the most pleasant but not bad enough that I could not do it. Everyone is different, just went at it with the attitude I had to do it! Followed with lots of rumbles in the tummy but did not have to "go" for almost 2 hours! Was wondering if it was working, if I did something wrong or what? Turns out everyone reacts differently and it was working fine. Repeated the process at three in the morning, and by the end it just looked like pee which turns out what it is suppose to do! Overall, a good experience since now I know it was working."


"I never thought I would be able to find something to clear my acne. After 10 years of searching and trying every OTC product and prescription product nothing worked. The I started trying Birth Control Pills and went through about 5 different kinds of them until I tried Yaz. It does wonders for my face and my confidence. I can't believe that taking a tiny pill, once per day can be such an easy cure to my skin problems. Don't let you doctor convince you that the generic will do the same as Yaz... it won't. "


"I was a bit wary about trying this after reading a lot of negative reviews and scary side effects but after a 20 year problem with all 10 toenails (crumbling, discoloured and would practically peel off the nail bed) and being too embarrassed to show my feet in summer, I decided to give turbinafine a try. Too embarrassed to go to my GP I purchased a 3 month course online. The results are amazing. 10 perfectly healthy nails 7 months later and not one side effect."


"It works great. The only down side is the pseudoephedrine, which causes horrible headaches and ruins my sleep."


"I personally don't think it works that great however, I also take prozac and the buspar was prescribed to "boost" the prozac. Sorry to say but  personally, I didn't notice a difference, I wish they would have just boosted up my Prozac instead. Also, I take 3 7.5 mgs a day of boat and 60 mg of prozac"


"I started a week ago and so far so good.  I took this medication several years ago and had no problems.  I had a bladder sling removed 5 months ago and because of the damage that has been done, I have to take medication.  This is the second time medication I am trying."


"Well,  I'm not pregnant but my skin is a mess and PMS symptoms have been terrible. I hate this stuff,  pharmacy gave it to me as a generic for Aviane and I will pay out of pocket before I ever accept it again. I've been on two other generics w/o any side effects, cystic acne just isn't worth it."


"I started taking Copaxone soon as I was diagnosed. I don't like the red welts and stinging but my doctor prescribed me spray to put on before I inject and it helps. I don't have much fat so I have the indentions and bruising. But I had not had any new lesions on it! But I decided I would stop taking it and was off it for 5 months and had a MRI and have more lesions so it does work! I'm back on it now hope my next MRI proves it works."


"Seems to lower CA but the side effects are somewhat hard to deal with. Leg cramps, and twitching seems to be the worst of it. But there is only surgery as the other option."


"Didn't do a thing for my depression. After taking it for just 3months , I came down with the movement disorder. I could not stop suckling and moving my tongue! I would make my tongue raw. I could stop only by chewing gum. Even after having been off the it for almost a year, I still have a problem with my tongue movements. It isn't as bad and I can stop myself from doing it most of the time. I would not recommend this drug to anyone. I was on a very low dose. Some people come down with worse movement disorders than I did. Only take this if you are so depressed you may commit suicide. Otherwise, don't do it. Stay with antidepressants and natural remedies. Like NAC, folate etc.."


"I have been taking Coreg for high blood pressure for 4 years. It slowed my heart rate to low 60s. Even when exercising, rate stayed really low. I've fought my weight every since I started taking it. I started having problems keeping my blood pressure regulated. My doctor added 1 tablet of Benicar HCT 20mg. I couldn't believe how much it dropped my blood pressure. Breathing back to normal. My blood pressure now runs 120's/70's. My heart rate runs in the 70's. When I exercise it raises to 80's. I feel so much better. I think this will allow my body to burn fat and function more normally. Love the way I'm feeling now."


"My wife tried to add Namenda as a component of combination therapy but after continuous bouts of bronchitis we terminated Namenda and, as a result, she was (in short order) able to get rid of the bronchitis.  Since Namenda had seemed promising (initially, before bronchitis), we were very disappointed that it seemed necessary to eliminate that component of her treatment.  Although our neurologist had not previously seen a case in which bronchitis was a side effect of Namenda, he suggested we try Namenda XR.  We are thrilled that she has been able to take Namenda XR without experiencing such a side effect and that Namenda XR appears to be providing desired benefits."


"my son suffered a seizure while on tramadol.  dislocated his shoulder during the seizure.  This drug is not harmless"


"I recently was required to switch to a progestin-only pill (the "mini pill") from a combo pill. I've been on Jolivette for 3 months now (about to finish my third month) and it's been a rough couple months. The first 2, I was concerned about how heavy my periods were and had quite possibly the worst cramps of my life. I have history of anemia related to heavy menstruation (which isn't normal), and I was beginning to exhibit similar signs. Same situation the second month. Plus so much spotting between periods. Now month 3 and things seem much calmer. THANK GOODNESS. Make sure you take the pill at the same exact time every single day to prevent pregnancy."


"My experience of tranylcypromine [Parnate] was very positive from the beginning. The first time I was administered 20mg I felt suddenly much better than I had for weeks. I wanted to go outside and 'see the world'. So far so good.  Now comes the Kick In The Head.  In the UK  30mg is the highest that they can prescribe. However I tried up to 60mg and it has been beneficial and I have come across blogs and psychiatric accounts on the web that suggest that this dose is ok in the USA That would never happen here in the UK. The guidelines stop at 30mg per day which is unacceptable in the UK especially since the price was increased to £25.00 per 28 tablets.  I have had pressure applied from my GP to stop using this drug."


"I had most of the listed side effects before I was put on Clonidine, 0.1 as needed. I have found them to work blissfully well as a sleep aid. My major chronic depression, muscle pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, anxiety, PTSD, all remain in place. I've tried many meds for these conditions. Usually I end up scrapping them for ineffectiveness. Clonidine is one of the rare drugs that works properly."


"I had the Implanon inserted Feb.15 2011, now it's a little hard to to compare to some experiences because I was on Depo before the insertion, but the only side effects that I have had is the occasional breast tenderness. I believe that the Depo is now finally out of my system, so now I have periods but they are on the lighter side (lasting about 4-5 days) and I may get a small headache on the first day of the period. Other then that I have no mood swings, no fatigue, no weight gain, no hot flashes, and my sex drive is completely fine, in fact if not better! When I was having this put in I did not feel a thing (except the small prick of the needle) I couldn't even feel the doctors hands on my arm! I recommend this birth-control."


"a) I wanted to know the "personality" of my OCD; So, after a consult, I also did a QEEG, that was interpretated by my Doc and explained to me:  super-anxiety, emotional rooted in my nervous system (exactly in the Limbic system: autonomic/subconsc.); The conscious area, the cortex (Brain's frontal part) was fine; But the relation between those 2 different regions was bad: the feeling of anxiety/worry/doubt was not being properly "filtered" when arriving to the conscious region, making it fatigued by handling with such an intense emotion, resulting in overthinking.
b) Sertraline (Zoloft), starting 50mg, gradually to 150mg, and, as it was very well tolerated, 200mg (week 6); + Emotional CBT; + Xanax Xr (3,5mg); + Trazodone 100mg for sleep. c)I'm FiNE"


"I've been on this birth control one year now and it has been a up and down journey sometimes I would not have a cycle and then I would have a horrible one. If you're looking for something to prevent pregnancy this is the one for you I never became pregnant"


"Renal transplant 2000. No problems besides slight tremor in my hands. Cyclosporine caused terrible reactions for me, immediately post transplant. Had to have 6 plasma apheresis rounds to clear the cyclosporine and then smooth sailing on tacrolimus."


"Been using androgel for about 18 months now. Started in May 2009 with four pumps a day and felt great and my erections were firm and sex was great. But over time my T levels started dropping, so in December 2009 I was moved up to 5 pumps. In August, almost like a light switch went off my sex drive nosedived and lost interest in sex.  In October I had my physical and found that my T level had dropped to 284 which is low. I'm 52, workout four days a week in great shape. My urologist moved me to 8 pumps a day since October 23 and to date still don't feel any different and there is no sex drive. Still no erections or the ability to maintain one.

Any thoughts on this. It has been 18 days since I went to 8 pumps."


"I've tried many medications over the years to control severe tension headaches and this combination in Esgic is the only one I can trust. Headache sufferers know the agony of just doing normal tasks and being the best you can be at work, at meetings, with colleagues, family and friends. I am conservative in my approach, but when I must reach for the Esgic, I can function normally and pain free 9 out of 10 times."


"I was on Minastrin fe years and had no problems. Just like most of us, insurance changes screwed everything up. I have to get the GENERIC version but it's "exactly the same". The bloating sucks and it hurts. The lower back aches radiate flames I think.  Cysts in my ovaries like sharp knives catching me in the gut if I move too fast. And I don't think my nipples have ever hurt this bad in my life. The pain is crippling. It radiates into your pelvic bone, hips and thighs. And I'm only one and a half months in. Seriously not a good pill. Calling the doc in the morning."


"I have been taking Savella (now on 100mg daily) for about a month and a half. I noticed positive results within 3 days. Now, I am able to cope better, things that would have unnerved me or overwhelmed me (freeway driving, stress at work) I can handle much easier. Now I hardly ever cry. I have had one or two days where I "crashed" from overdoing it and was exhausted, but overall I have been able to do the things that I could only think about doing before. I am more able to clean house, cook meals, THINK clearly and walk further. But most importantly, I am able to actually enjoy life. I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt like I wasn't able to feel happiness or joy, NOW I DO. The evening dose I take at 4pm or it keeps me up at night."


"I started taking this pill and at first it was okay but it's the third week and I get so dizzy and I'm so depressed and my headaches are horrible !!! It's supposed to be low hormone but I honestly can't tell I'm going off of this pill today !"


"Skelaxin seems to be great. I have taken about 3 days (800mg prescribed 3 x daily). I have even taken on empty stomach (bold move) and walked through a grocery store. It worked great. I was not "foggy" or drunk feeling. I have taken it at work and have not noticed adverse side effects except a slight headache. Nothing good is without some trade-off. I recommend this for those who need daytime/night-time pain relief and do want to feel "doped up" like other muscle relaxers can do."


"i have been bipolar since the age of 21 im now 28 was put on zyprexa for 6 years changed this med because i was gaining too much weight im now 3 and half months on geodon in combination with zoloft all i can say this medication sucks it makes me more manic than ever my doc want me to try lithium i hope ill get better result... been sleeping 3 hours in the night for weeks this was the worst medication i have ever been and i only been on Zyprexa...i started on 80mg now im on 120mg

dont reccomend dont try this drug!!!"


"About 10 years ago around age of 35 I started having "issues" keeping an erection.  I was borderline alcoholic - any how.
I got the Cialis and wow.   Man this is a miracle drug.

I smoke like a chimney I eat like a pig but I do stay in shape including running marathons and triathlons - plus working out.

I usually get a 10 mg and then break it in half and I am totally good to go for 24 to 36 hours.

It does not "magically" work all the time. I have been with women that sucked in romance (robot / impersonal / cold) and no amount of Cialis is going to save me there.   So just like "Psychedelics" it has to be right Set/Setting - if I am comfortable and the mood is right - oh here we go."


"I have used this drug since 1979 @ age 27. Two day weekend headaches after a rough week were frequent (about 15-20 headaches/year) over next 10 years. They laid me up for hours or days. If taken within a few hours after a headache began, fiorinal is very effective. Wait a day and pain is partially reduced but lingers for 24 hours or more. Headache frequency gradually declined with aging. At current age headache frequency is down 95%. Fiorinal was a great help to me."


"My Dr prescribed this medication at my request and it has helped me considerably. I used to drink every day around that "happy hour" time. I would drink hard alcohol of my choice for that week. I drank about 6-8 shot per night.
I have been on Campral a week shy of two months. I have drank on two occasions but did not have the urge to drink it was a matter of just wanting a drink and seeing how Campral will work after the fact. I did not feel the urge to keep drinking the days after I drank on these two occasions. This medication works wonders for me and my family. They have me back. I recommend you try it out. I feel no side affects taking Campral. I can't even tell I have added this medication to my daily meds.
Kim"


"Hi, I was diagnosed of AS 2yrs back..My doctor prescribed me with Enbrel 50mg weekly which he tapered it slowly..I am still on Tab Methotrexate..I feel wonderful and have almost no pain days .I m 25"


"I had a very terrible UTI almost 7 yrs.ago and My urinalysis test revealed that my bacterial rate was above 100 which was way above normal!  After just 2 days of taking doc's prescriptn.,Cipro, I was in good shape again like nothing happened!..I was really amazed coz a few days before, I was in great pain, I had the worst fevers of my life and I could hardly even get on my feet!..Since then, only mild UTI has came back and that was only during my pregnancy which is common for pregnants and that was it!..Cipro did a great job for me, no any side effect as far I could remember and it's very much cheaper too!.."


"It works every time, however takes about 3-4 hours to provide relief. The only reason why I don't give it a 10 is because it gives me yeast infections every time."


"I have been on Jolessa for 7 years. I DON'T take the placebo pills, and have not had a period the 7 years except for once, when the Doctors office and Mail order pharmacy my former insurance made me use, got their wires crossed. If I don't take the pill exactly the same time every day...my body lets me know that it needs it's dose! No acne, and I have not had any weight gain. Slight spotting here and there, maybe once or twice a year. I don't plan on having any more children (I have a 10 1/2 year old), but am only 28, so the Dr.'s won't let me get a tubal ligation. I thought of the IUD, but quite frankly, I like NEVER having a period. No ill effects after 7 years without it. Healthy as ever."


"Dumb drug under tested"


"I've been taking this medication for about a year and a half now. I began taking it because other birth controls made me moody and the obvious fact that I'm not ready to be pregnant yet. This medication definitely makes you nauseous. I feel nauseous nearly every day. I haven't had a period since the first two months that I started the pill. Normally I wouldn't complain about a lack of periods, but other side effects I've had include frequent (I'm talking back to back to back) yeast infections and (TMI) vaginal dryness. Intercourse can be very painful. I'm switching off of this medication as I have tried everything to no avail. Being on birth control seems pointless if I can't even have sex."


"5years diagnosed. 6 years pain before diagnosis.  I'm on disability.  I'm taking 3 15 mg Oxy.  I take 2 the first hour & one more mid afternoon.  I also have 30 Valium available a month. The Valium can boost the Oxy a bit.  I also use 5% Lidocaine patches, a struggle to get but worth it.  I'm gonna need more Oxy soon and I know it will be a battle.  "


"I woke up one morning 6 months ago with severe lower back pain. Since I have stomach problems and am unable to take oral NSAIDs, narcotics or Ultram, I tried Lidoderm patches without success.  Then I read about Voltaren gel in Arthritis Today magazine and asked my doctor for it.  It has worked well and this is the only way I am able to sit without severe pain. "


"Thanks Lamictal, my moods are level (no lows or highs),no more rapid cycling or rapid thoughts, feel confident, happy, more energy, haven't had one depressive thought since starting this medication and at my correct dose of 200mg (cut in half and take 1/2 tablet twice per day, works out cheaper this way). Finally found the best medication for me. "


"This worked great.  It immediately cleared up all the watering.  With only having to use the medicine once a day it is so easy."


"Pain in neck, shoulders, hips, hands and knees gone within a day!  I can ride in a car and I'm sleeping without waking every hour.  It's been a miracle for me.  No side effects.  I'm terrified I may have to give this up due to stomach issues.  I can't go back to the pain.  I feel fabulous after years of misery."


"This medicine works great. It's a little costly."


"It works good, you will feel the congestion breaking down. It does make you cough more to loosen up mucus and yes you probably will stay up a bit a night. I took the pill not liquid. Have to say I was surprised."


"I am a PI Trial Attorney with a consistently, high stressed job. I began experiencing migraines (which in fact were diagnosed by a well recognized UM Neurologist) at the age of 43 and have been experiencing them constantly to my current age of 46. I initially was prescribed a Rizatriptan, Maxalt. At first, I took the entire pill and it literally knocked me out. However, it did take the migraine from a 10 to a 1-2. I noticed though, as I began to take half thereafter, the migraine dissipated but would then come back necessitating my taking the other half several hours later. I was then given Amerge (Naratriptan). This drug has been a complete life saver. I have 2.5 mg pills and only need a half. Bar none, best migraine pill but expensive."


"This product is a life saver! I had sex with my boyfriend 3 days after my previous cycle ended and the condom broke. Obviously, very upset and scared I went out to my local shops and purchased Plan B for about $50. I took both pills within 4 hours of the incident. For about 4 days after the fact, I was experiencing cramping, extreme nausea, and was being very moody and constantly fighting with everyone around me. About a week and a half later I began spotting. It was dark red, very light and definitely not my period. This lasted for about 4 days. I didn't get my period on the expected time but I felt all the symptoms as usual. However my period came on the 44 day of my cycle. Almost 2 weeks late! THIS PILL WORKS."


"Orsythia was the first birth control pill I had ever been on, and for the first 2-3 months I had extreme nausea when taking it, which I was warned by my doctor that that could be a side effect in the adjustment period. I would take the pill at night and made sure I ate something before I took it, but I would still get extremely nauseous. My periods were not affected by Orsythia, but I did notice it helped reduce cramping. The main problem I had with Orsythia was the weight gain, which was a substantial amount. I gained about 25 pounds in the year of taking Orsythia, and I have never gained that much weight in that time span ever before. My doctor is switching me to a different birth control."


"Bad: I took it for about a year, then it gave me bad acne that automatically cleared away when I took a 2 week break from it, and automatically came back when I got back on it. It has also make my hair so dry, frail and frizzy regardless of how good I take care of it. My blood pressure, anxiety and mood swings also fluctuated when I was on and off this pill.
Good: makes my periods ultra light, almost never cramp. Haven't gotten pregnant.

Overall I would not recommend it if you can be on something else."


"Okay well day one here.. inserted this stuff maybe 20 mins ago.. holy freaking crap.. the ITCHING WAS UNREAL. I was itchy just a bit  from my infection.. this made the inside outside  area itch like a crazy. Oh my god. I felt like ripping my hair out!! It's died down a bit now.. but feel a little burning, nothing too bad I hope it stays that way. Glad I found these reviews I didn't know what was going on.. MILD increase of itching and burning?? Lies. Hopefully day two goes better.. never gone through this, I had one YI before this and got the pill.. now I'm 25 weeks pregnant and can't take it so this is my only option. :( wish me luck tomorrow isn't as miserable"


"Made me hemmorhage on my periods. I would go through these bouts of such heavy bleeding at one time, it would go through my pants. If I knew I was on my period with this pill, I would have to practice using a pad and a tampon (not just a liner...)

Absolute loss of sex drive. Depression. Horrendous mood swings.

My vulva would get so dry certain times of the month, it would crack open on certain areas, and bleed..."


"Not bad until had to take the water - hard to get all that water down. Do not look forward to 2nd round at 4am."


"Day 4 of 875 mg of augmentin. I have a severe sinus infection, a inner ear infection along with a "sizeable" hole in my eardrum "


"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 been on SEVERAL medications over my many years (36 years old now). I have been on medications for over 20 years off and on. I have been on Saphris for almost 3 weeks now and I can not tell you what a God send this has been.  My doc just added Lithium to my regimen and as he refers to it, it is like Batman and Robin. Batman works great but can sometimes use the help of Robin.  The only thing is it can be cost prohibiting without insurance. "


"I was on the NuvaRing for about a year and a half. I absolutely loved it. It was easy to use, easy to remember, and neither I nor my partner could feel it during intercourse. I had clearer skin while I was on it and less cramping than I did before it. However, it did effect my moods slightly and I had a few up and down moments. Also, the reason I terminated my use of the device was because it started to fall out and I couldn't keep it in the right place. I think my body had just built up a tolerance to it and decided it didn't want it anymore. I do recommend it for most people who want easy birth control, but I do warn of the mood swings."


"I decided to go back on sertraline (Zoloft) 50 mg after experiencing anxiety and depression. I have started on it and 2 days into it I am feeling sick. I lost so much weight. It also made me tremble and get chills. I have diarrhea and vomiting. "


"I was against taking any kind of medication but after various breakdowns and my job on the line I took Cipralex which did not work for me. My Doctor then switched me to Fluoxetine which has changed my life! If you are on the fence, do as your doctor suggests and take the medicines."


"I got nexplanon at the beginning of Mach. I was due to get my period about a week later, and I ended up getting it 2 days after insertion. I was worried that it would last for a long time like other reviewers stated, but it lasted about as long as my typical period would last (about 6 days) and was very light. I did have bad cramping starting two days after it was inserted, but it only lasted two days and I am assuming it was my body adjusting to the new medication that was being released in my body. Since then, I got a light period in April that was slightly shorter and I've had nothing since! I haven't had any cramping or spotting since the first week and I recommend it to all my friends."


"I was prescribed this RX because I can't lose weight, even after following a diet and exercising. I'm starting on my 4th week and I am thoroughly disappointed thus far. It hasn't suppressed my appetite or controlled my cravings at ALL. Indeed, I have GAINED 5lbs since starting! Also, this week I am having pounding headaches that won't go away, as well as severe constipation. Most disappointed, as this RX was NOT covered by my insurance and it was expensive."


"Lexapro has been a lifesaver!  Started on prozac for 8 weeks but did not work for me.  Doctor switched me to Lexapro 3 weeks ago and I feel calm and relaxed for the first time in a long time. Only taking 20mg but really helps with sleep and making healthy rational decisions. I highly recommend and had no side effects."


"I was put on Vyvanse after my doctor diagnosed me with binge-eating disorder. Before this drug I struggled for 6 years battling this eating disorder and gaining pounds along the way. Almost 2 years later and with the help of this medication I have lost over 100pounds. I feel great, this medication should be watched and used properly. My doctor was great about letting me know that it could make me stop eating all together."


"This is my first birth control pill I've tried and the first night taking this and I woke up with severe nausea and have been in the bathroom vomiting on and off for 4 hours now. Hopefully
 the nausea will go away and the vomiting will subside so the pill can do its job."


"Don't get one.  I had mine for 3 months and the experience was awful.  My periods were extremely heavy (soaking through 2 pads) and never ending. I just had it removed because I have been bleeding for 3 weeks."


"Left a review when I initially started, said I'd update it after a while of taking the pill. PROS: Regulated and lightened period; effective birth control. CONS: Mild increase in acne; slight spotting in the beginning; nausea; cramping. Nausea and cramping got worse the week before, during, and after my period. By the time I got my period during fourth month, this affected my daily life. Really interrupted my digestive functions - bowel movements ranging from constipation to diarrhea, bloating, general queasiness. On my period during fifth month, actually vomited. Also exponentially increasing depressed feelings. Never before had these problems on my period. Decided to stop taking it because at this point I just want to be happy and healthy"


"I am 33 and have had overactive bladder all of my life. I went through a lot of treatments that didn't work. I now have a normal life thanks to botox bladder injections. I used to urinate 20-30 times a day. With botox, I'm normal!.

My doctor instills lidocaine in my bladder then does the injections via cystoscopy with me awake and unmedicated. I do feel the injections, but it's not terrible, and definitely worth it to me.

The first time I was so disappointed that I had more frequency after the procedure than before, but now I know it doesn't take effect immediately. I usually have fatigue about 2-3 days after the procedure and the botox takes effect in 1-2 weeks.  I have had it 5 times, it lasts me about 7 months."


"I feel like I must share my experience.. but, remember ever woman is different!! The insertion from the scale of 1-10, was a 9 and I have never had kids before; I am a 23 years old female. I have never in my entire life experienced pain such as this and that's with surgery before. Spotting and cramping after the procedure that Vicodin didn't help at all! I was told the cramping/spotting would continue for a week, so I waited and suffered. My sex drive diminished, I have been breaking out everything, back, neck, chest, and face -oh and shoulders. The cramps are NOT normal period cramps, this was intense 8.2 pain cramps that 1200mg of Advil barely helped! I put a heat pack on and nothing helped. Getting this removed asap!"


"I take Fluvoxamine ER 150 mg and it has completely removed my OCD. It makes me a little tired but it is worth it for being symptom free. This is the only SSRI that worked for me."


"I'm 55 and was having soft erections and losing erection as well as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Asked the doc about the medical options and he prescribed 5 mg Cialis daily, or as needed, approx 1 hour before sex. Have just started but WOW this medicine has really worked for me. Easily aroused and strong, long lasting erections. I wasn't used to being so hard and lasting so long, so had a little trouble ejaculating but when I did it was like it was in my 20's. The one side effect has been pain in my back side. Eli Lilly offers a coupon for a free 30 day supply - what a great country!"


"This is the best medicine that I've ever been on for depression. I still have some symptoms but I've seen a huge improvement in my happiness and social life since I started taking it."


"It worked wonders on my bladder/kidney infection unfortunately, it returned 3 weeks later though.  "


"I was suffering from Diarrhea,chills,extreme sweating, but no fever.  This was very scaring because no one could figure out what was happening to me.  It was decided that I probably had a BACTERIAL INFECTION.  The PA decided that he would treat that and prescribed Ciprofloxacin.  I am allergic to a lot of things and was afraid that this would not work.  I took this medication and within 2 days I felt so much better,with headaches being the only side effect."


"Just starting this for my Multiple Sclerosis  but seems to be very effective. I think I may need to cut out my morning coffee though. To much stimulant? Will have to see."


"After multiple surgeries, office procedures and test done on me the results are low progesterone.  My doctor put me on this pill.  For the last two months and now into my third pack of pills I no longer have heavy long periods.  I do recall missing a dose and/or taking my pill late caused me to have a period and/or spotting and/or long heavy periods.

Now, I make sure I take them every day at the same time clockwise %u2026 so far it works and I have not had a period or spotting in about 35 days.  I am not pregnant; occasionally, I get a light headache or feel a little dizzy and realize that I need to eat something; after I eat, the light headache and little dizziness goes away.  I've lost weight vs. gain weight from the pill.  "


"I started Contrave in early February, at first I did not lose any weight but I could feel myself getting fuller faster especially as the dosage increased. For the month I have been on the full dosage I have lost 20 pounds. Sometimes I do not have a desire to eat, often this is due to nausea. I have felt more energized and motivated to work out. The only side effects I continue to have are a dry mouth and trouble sleeping. Both problems are well worth it to me."


"I have been on Copaxone for 5 months now after being diagnosed in June.  The injections are easy, but the site reactions are awful.  I get red, itchy and swollen at the site despite using heat, ice and the various adjustments of the needle depths as directed by the nurse.  I also had a really bad reaction that included chest pains and what seemed like muscle spasms coupled with electric shocks in my joints which lasted about 30 minutes.  I am going to continue for a few more months, but if there is no change, I'm going ask my neurologists about other options.  I'm glad to hear that it works for others. "


"I remember being given this in the ER to abort a migraine I had going for 5 days straight.  It made me loopy, and within no time at all, I fell asleep. I remember waking up groggy, still in some pain, but overall this is good."


"As a full figured black woman 5"4 189 I was always on a diet and then losing and regaining. Started Belviq three months ago and lost 21 pounds. I get full fairly easily and this gives me the ability to say no to seconds that I never had before. Glad to be on this medicine and will change the way I live to be healthy."


"Im 16 years old, before i started taking celexa i was experiencing panick attacks about everynight. I didnt know what was going on with me at all. I was so scared all the time i thought i was going to die, have a stroke, have a heart attack, etc. but of course that was from the panick attacks but i didnt know better it's very hard living with anxiety at 16 years of age, but both my mother and my father have it. anyways i went to see my doctor, told him what i was experiencing and he knew right away just from the way i was explaining it and the way i was reacting. First he put me on 20mg of it the first couple weeks i noticed a big difference but was still anxious! Now im on 40mg and i feel great not 100% but way better! 6-7 weeks on it!!"


"I used NuvaRing for 4 years. My husband and I decided we wanted a baby, and within the first month of not using NR I was pregnant. I love that it doesn't effect my fertility permanently  I put a reminder in my phone for removal and reinsertion. It's a great BC method."


"I was given epiduo from my doctor to help with my acne. Now for the acne side of things the product really does work and i could see a difference within a few days of using the product......HOWEVER....after 2-3 days i have nothing but persistent dryness, swelling of the eyes and a stinging sensation. I could cry with the stinging as it is so uncomfortable that I have to bathe my eyes with cold water just to try and take the pain away. I have gone for weeks without using it to go back as it may have been something else that had been causing it. I couldn't have been more wrong. I would rather suffer with acne than use this product or recommend it to anyone."


"I'm a mid 20s female who should have been on ADD medicines years ago, this is the only one I've tried so nothing to compare it to. Love Adderall because of the obvious side effects: take it in the morning and can get out of bed in 30 minutes without feeling the normal exhaustion I've felt my whole life first few hours of day, no appetite so in beginning weight loss and now weight maintenance, and energy throughout the day (until it wears off), almost like an extreme diet pill. Even though I have energy to run around and could get stuff done, seem to just run around aimlessly not doing anything with a point. I snap and have a temper that I never used to have. "


"I have struggled all of my adult life (the last ten years) with acne. Whiteheads, and cystic pimples primarily, with at least fifteen or more pimples on my face at any given time. I have tried everything within my power to get rid of it, and this is the first medication that has made any significant improvement. It took six months before my face really started to clear up, and in the first four months my acne got worse while my body adjusted to the influx of hormones. However, I have never been happier with my skin. I've tried numerous medications from dermatologists, been on three other types of birth control, I even went vegan for a few months all to no avail. I am thrilled with my results on Sprintec!"


"First month was absolutely horrible. This is my first birth control pill. The nausea seemed to occur 2 hrs after taking the pill (I take it at 3pm everyday). I was also unmotivated and felt like my back ached all the time.

Then it got better. I don't get headaches anymore. But looking back, I definitely gained weight, like A LOT. I didn't lose my sex drive. Anyway, I'm okay now."


"I have been taking a gram of Biaxin a day for the last 25 days and have noticed a horrible discoloration of my teeth.  I have two more months to go on the study.  I hope this is reversible.  "


"Working well to help me relax and go to sleep."


"I was a 2 pack/day smoker for around 25 years. Went on the drug Chantix and quit smoking without much difficulty.  It has been 10 months since I quit and I still have no desire to go back to smoking."


"I am a vet with post traumatic stress disorder. My dr. Just put me on 25mg sertraline. My first night of taking the pill I could not sleep. I'll have to wait and see any other effects."


"I've been taking Minastrin for 4 months now, and it has having total opposite effects on me than what my doctor said it would. It's supposed to shorten periods,  but it actually made mine longer! And it's supposed to help reduce cramping  but it actually worsened my cramps. I also have more mood swings, and nausea. I guess I just turned out to be that small percent of the statistic that it doesn't work for."


"I'm a 13 year old boy who has been experiencing major back acne. I tried Epiduo on my back which just made it worse. My dermatologist has prescribed me Atralin at night and Duac in the morning. I've been doing this for about a month and my back has never looked better. And I'm glad Atralin has permanent results."


"My husband and I experienced a broken condom mishap. I took it an hour after the incident.This happened 3 days before I expected my period. My period finally came 5 days late, but it was effective. I did not experience any side effects."


"Six years ago I used to suffer from bad panic attacks to a point it turned into bipolar I got put in rehab for it I was very suicidal after a week of medication I was my normal self for years... But recent I am suffering from anxiety disorder, I hear and feel my own heart beat 24/7, I was waking crying and I can't relax at all just constant edgy-ness, I felt cold all the time had heart palptations and I lost a stone due to this.. My doctor put my on 10mg citalopram Hydrobromide, side effects vomiting, tremor and vivid dreams. I do feel not as edgy but it's still early to say I've been taking them for two days so it'll take a while to kick in I think but will update."


"If you have a teenage daughter with acne, this is the answer. It was amazing. My daughter went from having inflamed acne all over her forehead to perfectly clear skin. It worked gradually and she does not take the placebo. Acne was gone in a few months. She also feels perfectly fine otherwise."


"Going on my 4th month now, and the nausea is absolutely ridiculous. I didn't experience this being pregnant, with any of my kids. I didn't want to eat yesterday or today. Weight loss isn't so bad, but I like food. For being in shape person height and weight wise, I didn't expect problems, but here we are, ready to hurl for two days straight now."


"I noted marked decrease in intellectual ability and memory.  I need to go off this med for Neoropych testing and 48 hour EEG,  although I have high stressors in my life so I need to take it.  When I wean down I get sinus tachycardia. Hr of 122 at rest. Taking Klonapin makes HR decrease to 80's."


"I got this after I had my wisdom tooth extracted. I was still in pain after taking it. It didn't do much."


"I am 5 feet 228lbs. Started 5/12/15 as of today 6/30/15. I am 208lb. Still eating what I like but smaller portions. Walking for exercise. Total of 19 pounds so far. Very happy. Only side effect is dry mouth. I just drink water all the time. But my energy level is great"


"25 no kids. 18 months with Skyla now. Insertion NOT too painful. Spotting for 3 weeks. Abnormal discharge (never had in my LIFE) for over a YEAR now. Wasting so much $$$ on DR visits. No sex drive because of discharge side effects. Really bad period cramps (never had before) 8-9 day light light bleeding (also never had a period that long before). Didn't know that one of the side effects was dandruff (also NEVER had ever in my life) it's embarrassing! Love the effectiveness but HATE the side effects. I've had enough. Getting it removed asap."
