"I started taking Neurontin 4 days ago for my migraine headaches, and I can already tell it is starting to help me in so many ways. I was having up to 3 headaches a day, and felt I was slowly falling down a hole I didn't have the strength to pull myself out of. I feel like I'm getting my life back. Thank you."


"It makes me drowsy, so  take it at night but this is the only thing that has worked. I had dry mouth but i was temporary."


"I started taking Nuvaring a couple of weeks ago.  I came to this site because I am afraid that my side effects could be early pregnancy due to failure of the birth control- based on prior responses it sounds like these are probably just bad side effects:

bloating, lower back pain, constipation, nausea, headaches, loss of appetite, racing heart, anxiety."


"Okay so I heard so much bad things about this shot, but for me oh my gosh it's just amazing. I used to take birth control everyday because I had in regular periods and that would cause me ovary cystitis and yeah the birth control did get rid of that and   Regulate my period but oh my gosh, I gained so much weight and I was so mean and emotional that it was ridiculous. I try about 3 different and I stopped because it was making my life horrible and then I tried the drop shot, I have not gained any weight(actually lost, just eating right and usual  exercise), my acne has cleared up a lot, I'm not moody AT ALL(it's amazing) and you just do it every 3 months. I feel like if your a type of person that the daily birth control don't work, try this"


"Throat infection/headache/ear infection. Four days twice a day helped me get rid of it. Just drink a lot of water people"


"December 4th will be my third month with Mirena. I'm 18 years old and could not be happier. I have had one period so far right on time, lasted a solid 5  days will no cramping and I've been spotting ever since. The spotting isn't bad, somedays it requires a panty liner, other days it's not even noticable. I have full faith the spotting will stop within the next 3 months. It's not enough to keep me from having sex, so it's really no problem at all. I'd reccommend this to every woman. Insertion was about eequivalent pain to getting a tattoo but shorter (only lasted 30 seconds) and cramps after lasted a few hours. I went back to classes the next day, was able to run again within 3 days. The strings are perfect length. 10/10"


"I'm on my third one and I've gotta tell you I like it. My doctor prescribed a med. to stop heavy periods or very long periods, I take a pill and they stop. It has not affected my sex drive and everything else is going good."


"This drug helps with my nasal symptoms but it makes me drowsy, might be because of other medications I take on a daily basis (Cymbalta and Stahist).  It has helped with my symptoms because if I don't use it, along with Flonase, I get headaches and stuffiness.  I'm happy with it and will continue using it.  Hopefully the drowsiness effect will get better with time.  It did when I used to use Asteline."


"Had been taking Atripla for 6yrs w/out ANY side-effects. Doctor retired and new doc suggested i switch to Genvoya as he said the risk of liver damage was greater w/ Atripla. I switched.  ALL OF THE FOLLOWING issues began occurring within the past 6mths. However, none of these symptoms were ever attributed to my Genvoya ... until now.
* Numbness in my left arm and hand. So much so that I sought advice of a neurologist.
* Difficulty swallowing. PAINFUL!!! It feels like my esophagus just STOPS and won't push the food down. Upper GI scope found nothing.
* EXTREMELY and easily irritated/agitated
* Nervousness / anxiety
* Frequent sudden mood swings
The last 3 issues drove me and my loved ones crazy. I was NOT myself."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"follow the directions. A little Vaseline on your bottom before you start. Lots of fluid during the process. Unlike others, I actually enjoyed the taste of it. After taking the first dose, I felt full but not uncomfortable. first bathroom visit in an hour. Very comfortable no cramps. Drank fluids and ate jello between visits. Felt tremendous relief after each session.

Second dose even better, urges in 20
Minutes after taking. Large, comfortable watery visits that lasted a little longer and had more volume.

Totally comfortable experience and I highly recommend it."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"No more blood checks, bruising not as bad with Praxada."


"I started Tegretol a week ago for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I was having more and more episodes of TN, and was miserable. Since starting the medicine, I have only had one brief episode of pain. I have had terrible itching since I started taking it. I saw a different Doctor today about the itching, and he said the dose was too high. Hopefully the 100 mg twice a day will relieve the TN pain and not cause itching. I am happy to try the Tegretol, because TN pain is unbearable. Worse than any pain I've ever had (including labor, c-section pain, and oral surgery pain."


"I've been taking generic zolpidem for a short period of time. I wish it was stronger. I usually fall asleep an hour and a half after taking it and I'm convinced I get up at night because my packs of cigarettes are empty by the time I get up in the morning. So I must be sleep-smoking. I still like the medication anyway. I have very strange dreams."


"I have recently been medicated by methadone, for heavy use of opiates and I have never felt better, and not one craving.  I have been an addict for close to 20 years, and happily been clean now for 38 days with the help of methadone."


"I have had Implanon for three years now and have an appointment next week to have it removed. I'm looking forward to it! Reasons being: since Implanon my sex drive is gone..and I'm only 24 years old! This has cause BAD problems with my marriage and has nearly caused divorce on more than one occasion. The past 3 years have been horrible with this side effect. After doing research I have found that this may be permanent even after Implanon being removed. Another side effect that I have is severe depression. I have struggled with depression before Implanon but it has made it worse. I have also experienced fatigue. The only good thing about Implanon is the fact it has kept me from getting pregnant."


"After taking Omeprazole 2 mg every day for 4 years, my last throat scope showed no more GERD problems and my doctor took me off the medication.  During the 4 years, I never suffered any ill side effects."


"Been taking this medicine for two weeks. I noticed I'm really itchy, my stomach is so sick, headaches, and I'm very tired. I hope it gets better."


"I used buspar 5mg once every few years.  It's very good for me and very mild.  I tried double dosage once and I was groggy.  But on 5mg, I was perfectly normal.  When I get my anxiety attack (once every decade or so) my hands shake, can't eat, color of my face goes pale....  but immediately soon after taking buspar, I feel much better.

Please note that these medication don't work just as well on everybody.  The nature of psychotropic medication would work wonders on one person, and horribly or not at all one another person.  You gotta keep trying until you find something that works for you."


"I was having a sharp burning sensation when I peed to the point where I dreaded going to the bathroom.
A doctor visit later I had two 500mg pills. I took them on an empty stomach, ate pizza for lunch, and within a couple hours I found myself in the bathroom with very urgent need-to-go-now diarrhea. A few bouts with that over the next 24 hours or so, as well as having slight vision abnormalities while driving (kind of fuzzy, probably extremely dehydrated from the restroom trips), I was feeling pretty normal. The burning sensation subsided over the next week, slowly but surely. Looking back, I was uncomfortable for a day or so after taking the meds, but I can pee without wanting to jump out of my skin now. 10/10"


"I have been taking this pill for about 2 months now and I can already see a difference in my flow its getting a lot lighter and I had very bad cramps before and now I have none at all.Also I this pill didn't cause me to gain any weight ,my weight has stayed the same and has even went a few  d but I'm not sure if it's  because of the pill."


"I was given elavil for my migraine. .I've been taking 10 my for 1 week N now week 2 up to 20mg..I also have dealt with ibs-c..the migraine/headaches hav subsided a little..but my bloating N cramping N nausea r all still there..it did help my sleep the first week but I've had trouble sleeping on week 2..from the other testimonials on here I'm gonna give it a couple more weeks to see if more improvement occurs.."


"This birth control has given me terrible side effects of depression. I don't feel like the same woman. I want off of it as soon as I can! This is not in my character to act, feel, or think the way I have been thinking. "


"I suffered from extreme depression a year ago, months on end. I tried everything and was on the verge of requesting hospitalization. I took every medicine out there and then my doctor prescribed 2mg of Ability to augment the Remeron I was on. In 1 day the nightmare was over. 1 day after months of such severe anguish that I wanted out! Today I ran into a pharmacist from my Pharmacy while out and about. She told me that her customers that are starting Abilify are reporting that their life is changed, etc. I see from the posts here that not everyone has a life changing experience but I can tell you it was a lifesaver for me. If you are at your wits end try this as an adjunct to your current medicine. It might be the ticket out of your suffering."


"Pros: Didn't get pregnant, Acne became less severe, period was light and very predictable.

Cons: Horrible headaches for 3 months in the beginning, weight gain, increased incidence of spider veins, mood swings

Overall: It worked I did not get pregnant, However, the side effects worried/bothered me so I stopped taking it and have since gotten a prescription for a lower dose BC pill called Mircette."


"Started taking this medication about a month ago and I must say that it really works. Initially, I started to take 100 mg every morning and it made me extremely nauseous, but the nausea subsided after about two weeks. I get the occasional dry mouth, etc. but that is a small price to pay to not have dysthemia. The only complaint that I have with this medicine is that it produces some heavy sexual side effects, loss of libido, delayed ejaculation. I am currently on 150 mg per day. My doctor does not think that 50 mg is a 'therapeutic' dose and has only seen positive results in doses above 100 mg's. I do not want to reduce the dose because I have finally found something that actually works."


"This is my 2nd time on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. First time was great. No side effects. I took it for around a year then decided to switch to Depo. Here I am again taking it, only this time is bad! I get a daily headache, really bad nausea followed with occasional vomiting, cramps, spotting, vaginal dryness, my sex drive has gone out the window, leg cramps in my calf, bloating, yeast infections and frequent urinary tract infections. I'm not sure where or when my body changed to completely dislike this birth control. It has kept me unpregnant which is the only good thing."


"It is a reasonably good drug and it has helped me a bit so far. "


"1st day on Abilify seemed like I had energy. 2-3 days later insomnia set in big time. Even tried taking 2 Lunesta...didn't work.  2 weeks later, I was in the ER from side effects. Tremors, not comfortable in my own skin, slurred speech, couldn't focus or concentrate.  Spouse thought I'd had a stroke.  They gave me Ativan and Benadryl.  I got a new Psychiatrist after that. Just starting on Lithium now.  We'll see."


"I took my 40 mg today have peed 5 times this past 2 hours, other than that so far I feel fine. This is a first for me to ever take a water pill, but so far it seems to do its job. "


"I am 26 years old and got the Mirena IUD 6 months ago. I do not have any children. Getting the IUD inserted was the most pain I have ever experienced, it felt like my uterus was getting electrocuted!! After getting it inserted, I had severe cramps that lasted for at least 3 months along with constant bleeding and/or spotting. These cramps were significantly more painful than my normal cramps. I had to take t3's and at times couldn't even move. Since then I have also gained 20 lbs and got acne on my chin/neck/chest. I have also got random skin rashes. I was really hoping this would work out for me, but I am thinking about getting it removed if nothing changes in the next few months - I don't feel like myself anymore."


"I just started Bydureon a few days ago.  The needle was intimidating and while I did not get any lumps (so far) at the injection sight on my thigh, I bled a lot and bruised.
Within an hour of my injection, I experienced heart palpitations, dizziness and extreme lethargy.  Then, the extreme vomiting started.  I vomited every 2 hours for 12 hours straight, it was terrible.  The next day, I was just a little nauseous but okay.  Now, I experience queasiness and loss of appetite.  I am nervous to take my next injection due to the extreme vomiting.  I am hoping the results are worth it."


"I've been absolutely in love with the Nuvaring for 6 years.

Pros: I've had clear skin, very mild bloating-no bloating and no weight gain that I would associate with this form of birth control. I love not thinking about taking something every day and have never gotten pregnant! Admittedly taking it out the first time scared me, but was super fast, easy and not gross.

Cons: Nuvaring made me more prone to yeast infections and irritation than before I used it. It also caused an ammonia-like odor for the week or two after I inserted a new ring. "


"I've had paragard for over 14 months now. 26 years old, never been pregnant, but have major mental health issues which didn't sit well with the pill or depo. Was excited to get paragard because of hormone-free, long-term protection. (My boyfriend and I do not want children.) Insertion was EXTREMELY painful (I have a pretty high pain tolerance) and needed muscle relaxers and naproxen for the next month. Cramps are worse than I have EVER experienced in my life and bleeding is heavy (and I mean heavy!) and constant. I spot and cramp literally all month long. I am constantly nauseous and exhausted. It's sometimes hard to get out of bed (or wake up) at all. Was fired from my job due nausea and fatigue affecting quality of work and being on time in AM."


"I took Cymbalta for 9 month during that time was also taking Oxycontin and Vicadine. I still had pain and the Cambalta raised my cholesterol 50 points, it also raised my blood pressure the Doctor didn't seemed to be concerned with symptoms. which concern me due to the fact that I had heart disease about 10 years prior to taking Cymbalta ahead 3 stents inserted into my arteries of my heart. I had heart disease at a young age of age 37.  The two doctors I was seen at the time didn't believe that cymbalta was raising my cholesterol. I had to do my own research on the internet to find evidence that Cymbalta does raise cholesterol. The manufacturer of Cymbalta indicated that the raising cholesterol was a rare side effect."


"I have used Breo for 1 month now and must day.... WOW.. I can give up my nebulizer which was every 4 hours ..yes nightly also... once a day... almost normal again. ps.. Breo is new... I had to tell my MD about it.. she gave me a 12 month free trial prescription card...... hope this helps!"


"Didn't experience any side effects really.  Period came one day late,  which is normal.   Worked well.  (expensive but understandable as it is last resort option).  *note only will work if you haven't ovulated yet.  If you have sex and also happened to be ovulating....  It may be bad news man* good luck!"


"I've had multiple cervical fusion surgeries due to an accident 10 years ago. I get flare ups that cause severe pain and numbness in both hands. Before I was prescribed the patches the episodes could last a week or more but now using the patch I'm back up and around in one or two days so I say they work pretty well."


"Been on my period for 6 months straight now. Not a light/spotting thing either. I bleed through super tampons. I don't think I can handle it much longer."


"I wrote on here Sept.13th and since then I gave gone back to doctor and she listened. She raised my dosage from 30mg to 45mg and I am feeling better again. It has given me my drive back again.  Previously  I have had no interested in many things including my health. Before being on this medicine I did not care about anything. Doctors would ask me questions and I would just answer but not care. Now I give them more information. I can't believe the difference this medicine has made. If nothing works for you try this and give it a couple of months to make a big difference. It is hard to wait so long but well worth it. I know everyone has different chemistry and for some it will not work. I hope you are as lucky as I am to have found it. It really works!"


"Took first pill and became very sick. Sleep disturbance, ill stomach, chemical taste"


"I am 29 years old and began abusing opioid medications about seven years ago.  At my worst, I was taking up to 50 tabs of 10 mg Norco per day.  When my own prescription ran out, usually within 2 to 3 days, I would manipulate my elderly grandmother into giving me her entire month's prescription.  I would mix these drugs with Ativan and alcohol.  It's a miracle I didn't kill myself.  I have three small children that I wasn't capable of caring for properly and a husband that picked up all the slack.  I made the decision to quit and have been on Suboxone for almost a week.  This medication has been a life-saver.  No withdrawl symptoms, no cravings for pain pills.  This is saving my life.  A truly amazing medication."


"I'm 41 years old, and I've been constipated my entire life, since Child hood. Now I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, constipation, and take narcotics. I push and push until I almost pass out. I become lightheaded and finally after pushing for 15/20 minutes I tear and Bleed. My Dr. gave me samples of Linzess and it's changed my life. I do have some some runny stool, but I would go through that any day. Constipation would cause me to get blisters in my mouth, I no longer get them. I'm a different person. My life was miserable before. Many many years my life was a nightmare. Now I feel human.  Love this medication."


"Lyrica is one of the first meds I was put on. I am after 14 years of experience taking and experiencing the withdrawals of the Lyrica when I didn't have the money to buy it and couldn't get it free because I was on Medicare.The meds work great with other meds"


"Allergies had absolutely taken over my life. I was regularly sniffly if not in full blown sneezing attacks all year round. I'd tried everything I could find and nothing ever worked. When a new doctor suggested I tried this I didn't expect it to my any different but its been life changing. As long as I keep taking this one or two sprays a day, it keeps my symptoms at bay. If I forget it for two consectuive days they come back with a vengeance. Its also settled my asthma so I've been able to reduce my inhalers. Yes there's a taste from it but honestly I still couldn't recommend this enough. I'm in northern Ireland so get it free on prescription but I would absolutely pay for if I needed to."


"Started on a 10 day course for this antibiotic. Nausea and going to the toilet were side effect. Tried probiotic tablets and yogurt for stomach and it seems like its working. Gravol (the non drowsy type) seems to help with nausea."


"I was put on Luvox for anxiety and depression. I had never had anxiety before so this was the first medicine I had tried. After 4 weeks it gave me very bad anxiety and intense "racing thoughts". I was only on 25mg and then upped to 50mg. Once I got off, I learnt better ways to cope, by seeing therapists and working on my problems. Not the medicine for me."


"I love relafen aka nabumetone. I have OA, chronic low back pain, and chronic pain syndrome. It works best of all prescription nsaids I have tried. And believe me, I have tried a lot. I've become allergic to some, some just plain don't work, or cease working over time. I have been taking nabumetone for over 3 yrs now, no need to increase dose, no side effects. I absolutely swear by it. It's very rare that I even need to take anything for break thru pain."


"I am allergic to Propylene Glycol. It's in everything to treat the allergic reaction: Topicort is the only topical steroid that has worked for me. My doctor told me that all forms of Topicort Cream, Gel and Ointment contain no PG and is hypoallergenic."


"I experienced coughing and muscle pain."


"Depakote ER is the only medicine I can take for my bi-polar. I have side effects to every medicine I've been on for bi-polar. I can't take the generic. It really bothers my stomach. It doesn't do much for depression. Anything I take for depression makes me manic. I have been on almost medications on the market. I have to learn to live with depression and work my hardest to accept it. I've been living with bi-polar for 38 years. I wish that the brand name wasn't so expensive. It's very hard for me to afford but it must come before food if necessary."


"I was diagnosed with Metastic Breast Cancer five years ago and have been on Faslodex for four years which has made my cancer stable.  The side effects I experience are; sweating, hot flashes again, severe bone pain, nausea, fatigue big time, constipation, etc.  It is worth it to me because it is all tolerable and the other alternative is my cancer would start growing again.  I call this my chemo because it is stopping my cancer.  I am also losing all my teeth because of dry mouth and don't know if that is from the Faslodex or the harsh chemo I was on before."


"I was so hopeful for this medication, after trying so many others without success.  However, after taking it for a few weeks at the maximum dosage I felt absolutely no relief from pain.  No side effects, either, which is great, but I kept having to write down when I took them to ensure I did not double up (just because I felt absolutely nothing at all). "


"I take 1000 mg 2x day along with Humira every two weeks.  The combination works very well for me and I'm healthier than I've been in years.  The only significant side-effect for me has been anxiety.  I am told it is not a side effect but I've been off and on Pentasa over the years and the 3 years stretch where I was off completely, my anxiety went away entirely.  It wasn't until I went back on Pentasa that I made the connection."


"If I could give the Mirena a 20, I would! I had it inserted in August 2013 for endometriosis and I have had one period since; and I use the phrase period loosely (I barely bled for around 36 hours. It barely warranted the use of pantyliners). My primary reason for getting it was to keep my endometriosis at bay; it is an estrogen dependent disease that thrives during your period, so my doctor killed two birds with one stone. My insertion was mildly uncomfortable during the part where they open your cervix, but my doctor also had me take 800mg of Ibuprofen an hour before my appointment. The whole insertion process took less than two minutes. I had absolutely no spotting, cramping for three days. Added bonus, sex drive is through the roof!"


"I've been on Lamictal for a couple of months now, only up to 100mg, but I just stopped taking it due to the severe headaches I've been getting from it. Just a heads-up as one of the potential side effects."


"Made me feel like a zombie. I slept too much, gained 20lbs, had restless leg syndrome and congestion at night, increased depression ,  I  had a breakdown of laughing and crying at same time. I lost of reality."


"I have suffered several forms of psoriasis for about 40 years.  I have recently started biologicals, at last resort.  I was on enbrel sure click for about 9 months.  The stuff burns like hell in the legs.  Enbrel did very little for me.  I am now starting Humira."


"I have been on this pill for 3 months now & I have to say it has been awful!! I do not feel like myself, I'm really irritable, angry, depressed, & my sex drive is GONE. I've been working out daily & eating right & still gaining weight. I've also got awful period acne breakouts on Cryselle. The only positive things are that the pill does it's job and my periods are 4 days max (they're also light)."


"I have been using Soolantra for almost 5 weeks and honestly this is the best cream I bought in a long time. My skin looks and feels wonderful.  The little red bumps are completely gone (although they looked terrible during the first 2 - 3 weeks).  I wash my face with Lubex (Disodium Undecylenamido-MEA-sulfosuccinate) every morning and in the evening before applying Soolantra.

Monthly cost:  Soolantra USD 38 and USD 12 for 150ml of Lubex in Switzerland.

I can highly recommend this combination."


"I am a 65 year Male, been on high blood pressure meds for about 15 years. Two years ago my medication for HBP was not working as well my pressure was up to 185/95. My doctor gave me a 21 day free trial of Azor 10/40 mg, this dose was working great 117/73 no problems but by the middle of the 3rd week my face and most of my body was burning up like fever. MY doctor gave me clonidine to reduce the flushing but did not work, so I had to stop taking Azor. If you don't get any side effects, Azor is great."


"My doctor prescribed this drug to me as a preventative measure against ovarian cysts. The first few months were good, normal periods and no notable side effects. Last month, the day after starting my 4th month pack, I woke up dizzy and nauseous. After a sudden attack of violent vomiting I was sent to the ER where doctors believed I had a seizure. After starting my 5th month pack this week, the same thing happened to me.  This drug works but the first few days after Placebo week are starting to scare me."


"I've had cystic acne since the beginning of college. I've been on Orthotricyclen Lo, Tri-Previfem (generic orthotricyclen), Beyaz, and now I'm currently on Tri-Sprintec. The orthotricyclen LO helped a little with my acne, but I still had a lot of breakouts. I was on it for around a year. I then switched to tri-previfem, which worked great for me (no side effects whatsoever) It helped regulate my period really well too. I was on it for around 2 and a half years and my acne started coming back. A different doctor switched me over to Beyaz since she said my body was used to the Tri-Previfem. I was on Beyaz for 7 months, but noticed many problems such as weight gain (I gained 8 lbs) and moodiness. I switched to Tri-Sprintec and works great."


"i had to switch bc (Tribessa) they said I was high risk for a stroke ,so I started using lyza. It works but I have had multiple periods in a month . I'll bleed for 4 weeks then be off for 2 days and start spotting again. That's turns into another full period I don't kno if my body isn't adjusting or what"


"Another update.  Have been on Belviq for about 9 months now.  I have lost about 25 pounds.  Zero side effects.  I am at a weight that I haven't seen in about 20 years.  This is the first time I have been able to control what and how much I eat.  It also seems to be much easier to burn off the fat with exercise."


"Does anyone else take Valtrex everyday for prevention?

I am not so sure about Valtrex working for me. When I first started taking Valtrex, over two years ago, my dentist told me to take 4 pills at the first tingle sign and then again 4 pills a certain amount of time later. I always followed the directions. It never really seemed to make a difference, a cluster of blisters always showed up. It might have shortened the healing time.

After three months in a row of sores, I called my family doctor in tears. So for over a year and half now, I have been taking a Valtrex everyday as prevention. I think I had an outbreak in the early part of the year and one in November and now one in December. It just STINKS!!"


"I have used Claritin-D 24 for 5 years.  I used to get sinusitis all the time.  It was so bad, I usually missed 2-3 weeks of work per year.  I was tested for allergies, but was allergic to nothing they tested for.  I used to take it only seasonally, but as soon as I stopped, I would get sick again.  Now I take it everyday and am very nervous if the pharmacy runs out.  I do experience a few side effects, but have learned to manage them.  For instance, I do not take it if I can't take it before 10 a.m. otherwise it causes insomnia.  I also have dry-mouth, but have increased my water intake to 8 glasses per day (good for me).  I have experienced joint pain in the last few years, but determined it was due to plantar's facitis.  It's changed my life."


"I started using Diovan HCT as a lower cost alternative without evaluating side effects.

After starting Diovan, my blood pressure was OK, but started suffering from "GOUT". Often I couldn't walk and I suffered extensively for 2 years without knowing that the uric acid was being created by the medicine. I changed doctors and the new doctor recommended other medicine. My Uric acid levels went back to normal and they have been fine for 2 years. It is a pleasure for Texan to eat meat again."


"I started taking Loseasonique just about a year ago. Before this I took Yaz for about 6 years. My doc recommended Loseasonique so I agreed to try it. The first pack was not to bad. No spotting, but I was very nauseated. On the second pack I began spotting and this continued for weeks at a time. Soon after I began to notice my skin was breaking out. (I have never had acne before). During the third pack the break through bleeding continued, as did the acne (now spread to my back and chest), also I started having headaches on a daily basis. To the point where I could no longer function. I am now at the end of my fourth pack and have been spotting for the entire last month! Getting off soon."


"Accutane truly changed my life. Prior to Accutane, I had been dealing with cystic acne for the past five years. The acne was all over my face, but was mainly present on my chin and cheek area. The pimples were deep and painful, and left scars regardless of whether I picked at them or not. My acne was present year round; however, it worsened tremendously during the winter months. I was prescribed Isotrentinion 25mg twice a day in the middle of November. ($10 monthly!!!) I saw results within the first month of taking it! It was truly amazing. My skin was extremely dry for the first 2-3 months, but nothing too insane. Other than dryness, I did not experience any other drastic side effects from Accutane. No muscle pain, no mood changes."


"I have been on Cryselle for three, going on four months now. It is great. The only side effect I have is some dizziness. I was put on this as part of treatment for hypothyroidism, and it has resolved my hormonal imbalances. I was previously on minastrin 24 FE and I gained weight, and bled for three months straight. The day I started Cryselle, the bleeding stopped, and I have had no breakthrough bleeding whatsoever. My skin is clear, mood is good (but I am also on wellbutrin). I have energy enough to exercise six days a week and have lost 30lbs since starting this pill in the last week of December, which is exciting because I had been unable, for years, to lose this pesky thyroid weight gain. Sex drive through the roof, not pregnant."


"It is difficult to rate this medication. I have all forms of Neuropathy, very painful and Lyrica has been the best so far at eliminating pain, allowing me to overcome the insomnia from the Neuropathy and opiate medication. Even at very small doses. I take 50mg once daily before bed and it works. The problem is the side effects, the worst being that after three days my eyesight is so degraded that I can not drive, I cannot read anything on the television 6 feet away, there is some eye pain and my eyes seem dry and burning. Eye problems can be serious. Wandering eye, crossed eyes and most commonly blurred vision. It also causes peripheral edema in my legs and feet."


"I am on my second week of Victoza. I have had only headache and neck pain but I increased my water intake and I am hoping this will help. I have lost 2.5 lbs. I have been eating properly and exercising for about 3 months now along with weight watchers. It is my hope to get off all meds. Weight loss will help this I am sure! My sugar readings have gone form 180-350 to 59-180...59 being the first day. I have decreased my Lantus from 42 units to 15 units. I am hoping that less insulin means better results at the scale. "


"I have had muscle spasm's for years. Flexeril has always worked for me. New doctor wanted to try this. Completely did not work at all. "


"I developed hives and unknown swelling since I was 18. My life was miserable. I was always in the hospital I hated it sooo much. I was so depressed all the time. I felt like I wasn't living. Xolar really gave me my life back. I have been in it for 5 months so far so good :) I
Wish I could hug who ever made this drug!!!"


"I have taken this for different reasons and since 1972 I have had the dosage changed same amount but different time to meet my current need.  Making the dosage 6 mg total per day. I take it in the am, mid afternoon. bed time.   collectively  6 mg. How ever, I am now into eye injections  for wet macula degeneration.  I take 2 mg before I go in for inj.  it is not pleasant, but working well for me.  I use my walker a good part of the time to keep good balance. I also practice yoga.  I do have a difficult time with   meds.  so, I stick with this. but have added magnesium as a relaxer helper . It work wonders.  I am in my 80's, and doing well. The degeneration of the macula ,being the worst part. But I do very well, an am greatful for the valium as it works."


"Been on Brintellix 10 MG for 1 month, at the same time decreasing Lexapro and Wellbutrin. Noticed immediate decline. Felt like I was not on meds at all. Increased to 20 MG. Felt angry, had uncontrollable emotional outbursts. Now on Xanax. When I feel loopy, angry, anxious I take it but am so out of it. I feel horrible and out of my mind. The genetic test said that Brintellix would be good for me but I can't function properly."


"I had good pain management with Savella, but the dizziness and nausea was too overwhelming to continue past one day.  I realize I may not have given it enough time, but briefly, here is my experience:  I took the 12.5mg pill during brunch (9am).  One hour later, the nausea began, and didn't stop until the drug wore off 8 hours later.  The fibromyalgia pain relief however, almost instantaneous! I could move better, and my energy was very good.  The dizziness began about 11am.  It also lasted until the medicine wore off (around 7pm). Finally, at about 8pm, the dizziness and nausea left.  And my balance got better.  However, the fibromyalgia pain came roaring back."


"Best product out there however dont buy the pump bottle it is very wasteful .It pumps out 4 times more than you need and the tip clogged  overnight and hardens ,more waste.Its very expencive for the amount you get so no use to be wasteful .Buy the squeeze tube instead"


"Have lower back pain with it and it gives me the chills, otherwise is seems to be working pretty well. I'm on day 5 but accidentally missed day 4 and saw some setbacks."


"Painful insertion, bled for three weeks straight then no period at all. Extreme fatigue, headaches almost everyday, and extreme acne inclusive of some cystic acne everywhere."


"28 yrs old no kids/pregnancies and had previously only used the YAZ pill birthcontrol. I got Skyla inserted in April '15 and am due to have it removed next year. I give it a 7.5. Insertion was uncomfortable but my OB recommended I take some Ibuprofen before I came in. I was crampy the rest of that period. Every period after that for the following 6 months came with pretty sharp cramps the first few days. The periods now are definitely longer but light enough that I have mostly used light tampons since then. No weight gain, skin didn't change. Sex was fine except that I'd spot after depending how close to my period it was. I've had a few accidents and have not gotten pregnant yet so I would probably use it again if I find nothing better."


"I went to the doctor for simple gas pains. bladder was checked and bowels were checked. No blood was found. Was sent for an immediate bloodtest which showed signs of infection. was prescribed cipro and flagyl and was sent for barium for ct scan of the abdomen the next morning.

The barium produced severe diarrhea but ct showed acute inflammation of the colon.

I took the cipro and flagyl and was nauseated and had diarrhea for 7 days. I finished the flagyl but had 3 more days of cipro to go. On the 8th day the nausea and weakness was so bad along with back pain and joint pain. I couldn't take it any more, so I quit the cipro 2 days early.

24 hours later I resumed my multivitamins and simvistatin and had a little diarrhea but has stopped now."


"After a suprise DNA test done by my Primary Care Doctor I recieved a call from the distribitor of this so called Vitamin and the caller tried to pressure me into auto shipments of prescription before I ever received my DNA results my Doctor.
My Doctor had shared my DNA results with the makers of Deplin before sharing them with me.
Deplin 15 caused extreme bloating and pain twice resulting in cracked ribs, sternum etc.
I now suffer from shallow breathing and have a lump in my chest where my sternum bone broke with damage to my rib cage and struggle to breath deeply though my lungs are clear.
My Ox levels have dropped my 5 % over the past year and I was fired by my Doctor that caused this when I refused to keep taking it. Kick backs?"


"I was prescribed this after 3 days on a Azithromycin was making me worse. My doctor told me the Z-pack wasn't working because my bronchitis had become pneumonia. After 2 days on the Ceftin (250 mg, twice daily), I was really starting to improve. My cough had lessened, chest congestion had loosened nicely and my headache/stuffiness had started to subside. I also used a humidifier.

Now, 4 days in and I'm feeling almost human. The cough is almost gone, I can breathe almost normally and am much improved. I have always heard the Z-pack knocks out almost everything, but I'm proof it's not a cure-all.

One thing to note is that Ceftin can be rough on your stomach, so be sure to take it with food. Crackers, toast or yogurt should be fine."


"I have had the Skyla for one year now. Although my periods are lighter, they still come and I bleed for about two weeks at a time. I never used to have PMS and now I will cry uncontrollably for a day a few days before my period comes. I never had cramps and now I get a deep dull ache that I had never experienced before the Skyla. Up until month 6 or so it was debilitating. I was on the floor curled up in a ball and the pressure from my pants around my belly was painful and I just  cried. I kept it in as the doctors said it would get better. The pain is gone, but I have no sex drive and bleed for two weeks at a time.

Everyone is different and I've heard great experiences from other people. I will be removing mine soon."


"Really gets me through the worst days!"


"I have had problems with severe anxiety for years..I tried to self medicate with so many things. I use this with Benadryl and love how calm I feel!"


"I've had Nexplanon since 11/5/14 and the whole first week I had extreme nausea, then bled for 3 weeks, was okay for about a month and now I'm back to nonstop bleeding, extreme nausea, very anxious, crying all the time, acne, and I'm just overall very unhappy and no longer myself. Having it removed next Monday but I'm not sure I can wait."


"This medicine has helped me overcome my addiction to alcohol.  I was self medicating for years not knowing I had underlying anxiety and depression.  Now that I am taking this combined with regular AA meetings, I no longer have any desire to drink alcohol.  It's been a miracle and I am starting to become the person I once was."


"On day 2 with the patch coming off heroin. I went to the ER told them why I was there. They got me this patch. They say it lasts seven days. I have no energy but withdrawal symptoms are definitely  not as bad..."


"I've been taking it for about two months and it has really helped me a lot. I was dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety, I couldn't sleep and was even having difficulty eating but now I feel so much better."


"I suffer from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. I previously took Xanax, but it was too short acting for me. I needed a benzodiazepine that was longer acting, since my anxiety goes on for a long time. I like that Ativan lasts 6-8 hours, in which I need for times of long time anxiousness. However I have realized that smoking cigarettes lessens the effectiveness of benzodiazepines, so I will have to work around that. Anyway, Ativan is great for people like me who have anxiety and panic attacks."


"Been taking mtx, folic and Plaquinel for 1.5 yrs. My biggest side effect is lack of appetite. Not sure if it is the MTX or plaquinel causing this but as a result I feel I have no energy or muscle mass left. I wonder whether it is better to take the drugs or let the RA runs it's course. History of cancer in the family but not seeing any reference to that side effect here"


"Only stopped 40% of the pain but did manage to get some sleep. Felt quite drowsy the next morning."


"I tried to lose weight with diet and exercise for years. Doctor first put me on an expensive medication and it worked but I didn't want to pay $200 a month! doc told me about lomaira and how it could be used to target eating in the afternoon and reduce my exposure to too much medicine.

So far so good. No bad side effects and my appetite is definitely lower. I'm taking one tablet in the morning and a second before lunch."


"I was prescribed this medication along with Valium, Halcion and Motrin to ease withdrawal symptoms of heroin addiction. It did help while using it but my situation needed other therapy (methadone maintenance) to overcome my addiction.
 I do know several people who did benefit with the use of Catapres alone in quitting heroin addiction."


"I have chronic pain and tendinitis in my ankles, knees, shoulders, and elbows. I've played competitive softball and basketball my whole life and now play for my high school. Without naproxen it usually hurts so bad I can't play at all but I take 3 of them at once and it usually takes care of most of the pain. There is still some pain left but it usually helps significantly. I just wish you could take more than one dose a day because I usually need a second one"


"Before ambien it was tossing and turning, getting out of bed, sitting up half the night and had a hard time with my work in the mornings. Since ambien I have a good nights rest. I'm more relaxed and smiling alot more now."


"I've had it since June 2015 and no issues so far! No weight gain or pain no side effects"


"Best drug ever. Trust me, I'm a doctor"


"First week on Qsymia, lost 13 lbs.  I feeling great.  None of the side effects that I have read about, except I drink a lot more water. I am not craving sweets.  I belong to weight watchers. So I have a accurate record of my weight and I wear their active link that tracks my exercise."


"Been on Copaxone for over 10 years, kept me stable and still able to teach dance (but without spins & turns!!). Would not have continued without the shooter from your doctor, makes it quick and easy. Bought a needle clipper from the drug store so I can clip off needle and throw shot in garbage. Great travelling.......no need for a refridgerator for a couple of weeks. Just heard copaxone is coming out with a shot every other day YIPPEE!!!!..."


"I have been taking Orlistat 120mg for around 3 months now. When I first started I had a BMI of 28 and weighed 12st 12lb. Three months on these pills, with a holiday to New York and Rome, and a few other local breaks, when I was away I stopped taking all together, due to the side effects (orange oily discharge), I have so far lost 1st 9lbs, which means I've lost 13% of my overall body weight.
After reading on forums I found the golden rule is 'no more than 15g of fat with each of your 3 meals a day, and any snack must have less than 5g of fat per 100g, limit to two snacks a day'. I was already going to the gym 2-3 times a week, and I have not changed my gym routine at all, just capped my fat intake, I've had no side effects when behaving."


"This medicine is fantastic. I have been on almost all the medicines available for my disorder and I was previously on Fanapt which caused me to gain 15 pounds, and I think I might have gained a little with Saphris as it made me really hungry about half an hour after I took it for the first two weeks, but now that has tapered off and I find myself having to remind myself to eat. The only think I don't like about it is the taste, but I take it with a sweet tart (candy) on my tongue as it is dissolving under my tongue and it's not too bad.  I get a good nights sleep on it as well and I don't feel the "hangover" effect that most psychiatric medications can give you. I'm up and ready to go!"


"I just took my third injection last night. I still feel hungry on this medication. Wondering if it takes a while for the medication to kick in. I am hoping this med works well for me. I have had no pain with the shots, no medication leaking back out of injection site (maybe a drop) and no sight of lumps that people reference in posts. Hoping for weight loss from this medication, but don't see that happening at this stage. Maybe it takes several weeks to start working. Interesting that I was not able to tolerate Byetta for even one day but have had no issues with Buydureon."


"I have had the Nexplanon since August. After two weeks of it being inserted, I've had non-stop bleeding since then. Period is still ongoing, most of it is light. The worst part of this was the anxiety worsening depression. My mood swings are out of control. I don't know how to handle myself. I don't know who I am anymore. All I do is overthink things and it scares me too much. I'm removing my implant next week and hopefully these effects are gone..."


"I've never had any issues with taking this medication."


"Not a bad anti-inflamatory. Better if taking it with a Vicodin or Percocet."


"I'll be trying Brintellix starting tomorrow, so I haven't rated it for "real" for that reason - I had to rate it in order to post this pre-beginning review.  I read the other reviews and I'll share my experience with it.  Like many others, I've taken other anti-depressants (since diagnosed in 1997), which are the following: Prozac, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Zoloft, & Effexor (I STRONGLY urge everyone to think twice before taking Effexor - it's the only anti-depressant that had major, long-term withdrawals and was ineffective as well).  I've also been taking Xanax 3 times a day for 17 years, and it's been a Godsend (not one panic attack since the first day I took it) and has a low impact on the body.

I'm interested to see if this is helpful."


"I have had positional vertigo off and on since 1983. When vertigo rears its head I turn to meclizine. I take 25 milligrams a day. It is the best medicine I have found for vertigo."


"Works better for my back pain than Oxycontin"


"Best hormones I ever used. I tried Ortho Tricyclen, Triphasil, Loestrin and Depo Provera, and Yasmin.  None worked, all had horrible side effects.  Aviane is the only thing that gives me NO bad side effects.  Bigger breasts, fuller lips, no more hot flashes or night sweats, no more migraines and increased sex drive. No complaints at all!"


"I was prescribed clarithromycin for my lungs infection and after taking this medication on my second day I started feeling better but on the fourth day I couldn't not believe how my breathing improved. The only side effect is the taste in my mouth in the morning but that is tolerable.  I am so happy that is worked and that I feel better."


"I LOVE this birth control. Not only is it an effective contraceptive, it helped my acne, I wasn't moody, and my sex drive was great. My periods were the normal four to five days so, if you're looking for something to shorten your periods, I'm not sure if this is the best for you. I'm currently on Sprintec because my pharmacist recommended it as the generic, but I don't like it. I can't wait to be back on Tri-Previfem!"


"It works I went to the er and I was told to take miralax and I am so glad I bought it is a good product I am so happy to be relieved!"


"I've had a sluggish bowel due to medication, I tried all sorts of laxatives, even enemas, with no results. This is the best stuff to clean you out. I have to take the whole bottle for it to work, I've tried just half the bottle, no success with that. But, with 1 bottle and about 8 hours, this does the trick. I use it about once a month."


"I have anxiety and sleeping problems. I like Xanax a little better I think.  But Ativan still helps. Not from me because I haven't tried it yet but I heard if you like Xanax you have to double up on the Ativan from Xanax from 1mg to 2 and it would feel the same. That Ativan is weaker but has a longer shelf life. Regardless I would recommend this med out if you have sleeping problems or anxiety. There's usually a hard time for me to find a medium for me. I'm either too happy or to sad. Ativan n other benzo's give me that."


"I started about 2 weeks ago have not lost weight but I am so nauseous all the time and have horrible indigestion. I burp food I haven't even eaten. Don't know how soon should I know if it's working."


"Using Soolantra has been life changing for me.  Rosacea hit me hard a month after I turned 30 and for 8 years I tried everything and nothing worked well for me.  I've been using Soolantra now for 9 months and my face is completely "normal".  It does get worse before it gets better.  I notice a lot of people have given a 1 star review after using for just a few days but you have to give it time.  The first 10 days were horrible for me.  Worse than my face had ever been!  (Bad timing too as I had to go to NY to see clients that week)  I read that it is killing the mites during those first applications and your skin is responding to that.  Well after two weeks, I was completely clear.  I probably use it about once a week now for maintenance."


"I was on the depo shot when I was 18 and had 3 shots and BOY DID I BLEED. the best part was the fact that I never had any cramps but I bled for over 2 years straight and didn't have a regular cycle intill reaching the 3rd year."


"I have been taking daytrana since 2010 it works great but now I have partial heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. I didn't abuse the patch I took one 30mg patch a day! I'm 35 and now it doesn't work like it use to because of one side effect that it gave me so yes use with caution and don't use it everyday if you don't have to!"


"I've been on this medication for 2 months and this is the best I have felt in the 4 years since I was diagnosed with bipolar I. Only problem is I've gained about 10 pounds."


"I have been on Junuvia for eight weeks. No side effects, no problems. The blood sugar two hours after eating is well below  120. However the fasting blood sugar level does not dro below 100. Overall I am very satisfied. It is very expensive but good."


"I've been taking Necon 1/35 for almost 2 months now and so far I have experienced acne (which I've never had before), weight gain, Breast growth (I was already a double D Before), and crying spells. I think the worst is the weight gain and cryin spells. This medicine has helped tremendously with my irregular heavy periods though. I now have shorter periods and only once a month. I'm going to continue taking this for another month and then I may consult my doctor."


"I started September 1st 2017 with the starter pack. Had the usual symptoms that everyone is talking about. Toughed it out. Then the monthly dosage started after the starter pack finished. About the third and a half week I had pain in the lower left side of my stomach. I stopped the pill for a week. Pain was gone. So I thought lets try again.

I then started the pill only in the evenings. Basically half dose. Since the start till now October 20 2017, my plaque psoriasis has been noticeably reduced. Halving the half (1 pill a day) dose has also calmed my usual symptoms. I am tempted to start back on 2 pills a day again."


"In my research on RLS I found that iron deficiency could also be a contributing factor.  I have found that the combination of 300 mg of Neurontin twice daily and Hemocyte Plus once daily gives me the most relief from the symptoms of RLS than anything in years."


"Mirena was recommended to me to calm down increasingly 'flooding' periods (more than a year of them) and ease me into menopause.  It was inserted early July 2015 - a bit crampy but bearable.  I bled almost every day (varying amounts, but more than a panty liner would take most days) until the end of September.  Even when flow was very light, I didn't trust it.  Sex life suffered due to the mess (but no issues with strings!) I was thrilled to finally have a bleeding free three weeks - but then a period - as heavy and flooding and long (or longer!) as the ones I was trying to get rid of!!  First visit post insertion is scheduled for Nov 10 and at this point I'm very disappointed."


"Was reluctant to take this has read reviews and was going on holiday. But weighed up either bad toothache or risk side effects. No effects what so ever. Shifted my toothache. But didn't risk alcohol at all. Was bit itchy but nothing bad. Would take again if had too."


"Severe facial redness and flushing rebound after 7 days of use. Not worth the cost, pain and embarrassment.  Ceased using Mirvaso. Now, it's 7 days since discontinuation and I'm 90 percent back to normal. My nose is still flushing slightly. But, the redness and flushing have been gradually subsiding. I dropped my dermatologist due to his advocating this drug. I consider him a total ballbag now.

Advice to those suffering: Drop all prescription face products and switch to gentle face soap 2x per day. Use a wash cloth soaked in cold water to soothe the skin, but don't overdo it. Avoid all rosacea triggers completely. Drink a lot of ice water. Take cold showers. These all helped me greatly."


"I have been taking zanaflex for about 2 years. The best thing about this medicine is it helps me sleep and for me there is no grogginess in the morning. I'm totally alert. Not like with other muscle relaxants. However the medicine usually last about 3-4 hours so it's quite common to wake up in the middle of the night. I give it an 8 because it does work really well for me however I wish the effects would last a little longer to get a full nights rest and also because I can't take it in the day because it knocks me out.....cold."


"I have been on Avapro for 5 months now at 300mg a day. I have had no side effects. But my blood pressure has now started to rise. The last two times it was at 177 over 128 and then 170 over 120. I now get very light headed when I stand up due to the high blood pressure. I don't think it is good for me. Overall it worked for a while, but is no loner working for me."


"I had struggled back and forth for 5 years will opiates. I lost everything I had in my life, my home, jobs, cars, plenty of money, and even my family, my kids included. I decided to try and quit them myself with no success. I then went to a suboxone doctor who had me on 2 strips a day. I have been successfully on Suboxone for a year now with no relapse. Things in my life have also started to come back together. Suboxone has been a true life changer for me."


"I was so stressed out, everytime I mentioned work or my boss, I would start crying.  My doctor took a long time visiting with me and prescribed Citalopram.  In less than a week I was able to see the bright side at work, and now I can tell when I accidentally skip a dose.  I am much more relaxed and pleasant and see others' actions in a more positive light."


"I am currently on day 5 of a 10 day course of augmentin Es 600 5ml 2x a day for a high count e coli UTI. This is my 3rd antibiotic for this. It's working. Killing the bacteria. I am having yeast like issue even though I'm on 3 probiotics a day and loose stool. I also have bad muscle soreness and pain if I do the slightest activity. I will update after I finish the course but wanted to aware of these strong side effects."


"I've been blessed to find my Doctor. He offers much more than just one condition he could treat me with several issues on stopping my cycle of addiction. "


"Horrible.  In my 30s going to a high demanding graduate school.  Helped me early on in undergrad but now after all these years i hate it.  My family gets the worse of it as i am always pissed off and irritable while on it and cant think clear without it.  Its a double edged sword.  Waiting for the day i can say FU to this horrible man made addiction."


"I've been taking Klonopin for about 3 months now. Although it does alleviate my anxiety levels, I find that I sometimes get agitated very easily and become short tempered."


"I have been on Pradaxa 150mg for four months. After surgery my heart went into atrial fibrillation. I was prescribed Pradaxa twice a day for two weeks and then had cardio shock.  I was told stay on Pradaxa for three more months.  I have not had any side effects. The only other medicine I take is metoprolol 50mg twice a day.  I do have a glass of wine daily."


"I am type 1 diabetic for 15 years. I went through ketoacidosis and was released from the hospital with blood sugars in the mid 400 range. My numbers before buried in would go to the mid 300. I am 5 weeks into once per week bydureon.
The needle is very thick- u get used to that.
There is some nausea but mine usually goes away after a day and a half.
I just developed the worse diarrhea and stomach pains for 2 days after eating in week 5- I need to see if this is gonna go away.
The biggest benefit- my blood sugar levels have gotten down in the 100s and very rarely goes above 150 let alone 200 and my high and low bs rollercoaster is no more.
Overall I think I will tolerate the nausea and occasional diarrhea if my numbers are under control."


"Came down with the flu on Sunday had fever, back ache, sore throat, etc went to the doctor but they didn't check for the flu said it was sinus infection. By Tuesday I was still feeling ill so went back to doctor and had positive flu test. Started tamiflu that day. Tamiflu caused me to be extremely nausea on Wednesday I was throwing up from Tamiflu. I did not throw up or have diarrhea in the 3 days I had the flu. Not sure if I want to keep taking it or not but it's Thursday and although no fever or back ache still have flu headache and exhaustion."


"I have been on Contrave for 5 weeks now, started at 360lbs when I went to the Dr. to get it prescribed and weighed in at 328 this morning, so down 32lbs. Contrave is not a magic pill, unfortunately no such thing exists or none of us would be overweight or obese. However, what I feel it did for me was give me motivation, which is exactly what my Dr. told me it would help do. I haven't been this razor focused on eating clean, lifting heavy and doing cardio in over 10 years. Paired with morning fasted cardio, clean diet of 5 meals a day high protien/moderate fat/low-moderate carb, and 5x a week of weight lifting, Contrave can be an amazing boost and the edge you need to actually want to stick with it. I have had zero side effects. Stay focused"


"This medication caused me to have major side effects and I do not recommend taking it to anyone."


"ive taken this pill one month and so far the first week I was absolutely fine then the second week I started to be a little bit down and then the third week I literally cried at least 3 times a day. I became very tired and I had no motivation to do anything I slept 12-14 hours or I didn't sleep at all I've been angry and irritable for the slightest things I am 15 and normally I'm a very bubbly positive energetic person and I don't even feel like me anymore and ive been really depressed. I'm very highly disappointed with this pill it was the first birth control I've ever used I used it to regulate my period so far it's done its job I suppose however the side effects and mood that I've been in are most certainly not worth it don't take it."


"I have been on Wellbutrin SR for about 2 weeks. I feel so much better. The only thing that concerns me is my blood pressure seems a little bit high. I have been shaking a lot but other than that I got a ton of energy!!"


"I have just stopped taking Qsymia after being on it for 15 months.  I have lost 71 pounds and I am wearing a size 10 jeans!  I never thought I would see that day again after five kids.  I had very few side effects like dry mouth and some toe tingles and occasional numbness in my fingers and toes that would come and go.  Those were mostly in the beginning of taking it.  I would recommend this medication for weight loss!  Now I am eating small portions because my stomach has shrunk and able to exercise three to four times a week and I plan to continue all of these things.  This is the only weight loss drug I have ever taken, but I am sure glad I did after struggling for five years with no success on my own."


"I experienced unremittently high anxiety for almost a year before trying this medication.  Panic attacks at least every third day, sometimes more than once each day, so severe that I visited the ER at least twice a month.  Xanax helped for a few days but after that just made things worse and caused withdrawal even when taken less often than prescribed, buspar did nothing at all, and Celexa barely helped.  Finally a nurse gave me a sample of this medication.  It was a miracle drug.  After a month anxiety-free I was able to stop taking it and now feel great.  Side effects were so mild compared to other medications I've tried that I did not even notice them.  It works much better than Dramamine for nausea too though it does make you sleepy"


"Works wonders for my husbands migraines, does nothing for mine.  Mine seem to be immune to just about everything we've tried so far though."


"I first started taking Savella in May of 2009, it had not been on the market long. I used the starter pack from my doctor and noticed positive results right away. Savella interacts with a lot of other medications, so I have to be very careful, especially with serotonin syndrome which I did have symptoms of after taking Savella and Tramadol together. I do get the night sweats and remember more dreams and even have lucid dreams now, both otherwise no other negative side effects. Savella does cause somewhat rapid weight loss for me (1-2lbs a week, but I have it to spare). Decreased appetite as well. It really helps control my fibromyalgia symptoms,  Savella is my miracle."


"This stuff is a miracle cure for nasty coughs.  I was prescribed this for a painful, dry cough that was unresponsive to codeine and OTC cough medicines.  It completely killed my cough and allowed me to relax and sleep.  If I were a doctor I'd give this stuff out instead of codeine."


"I had Synvisc-One injection in January, 2010. I'm due for another this month (every six months). I'm an avid 56 year old tennis player and my knee has developed severe arthritis through injury (tear and scope) and years of pounding on the court. I haven't been able to play the Singles that I love for three years, as a consequence - and have had to settled for Doubles.

No more - this is a miracle drug for me personally. I'm playing singles again and being very active in other ways with no debilitating swelling and pain. It is all good for now.

I'll keep taking the shot and I am so grateful for this drug."


"More like Xyrem distress! What an awful medicine. It is expensive and it does not work. Don't waste your money. Find something else to help you sleep."


"It was all going well until 6 months into it a sudden burst of laughter dislodged the Mirena and it eventually perforated the uterus and ended up on the outside. After 2 lots of ultrasounds it has to be removed by laparoscopic surgery. Not a good option if you live outside the city as many appointments to get it sorted plus the expense of it all."


"I was on Lo Loestrin Fe for 6 months. My doctor specifically prescribed this for my acne and unfortunately it did nothing but make my skin much worse. Fortunately this pill did stop me from getting periods (which is normal on some birth controls) and I had no side effects like weight gain, cramps, irritability etc. If you are looking for a birth control that helps with acne I recommend Apri because my skin is clearing up and I have no side effects!"


"Although Lisinopril-Hydrochlorothiazide worked very well for lowering my blood pressure and not causing swelling there were some problems that have caused me to seek a different solution to my high BP. The first thing that occurred was sudden, painful night leg cramps. This happened each night from 1 to 5 times. I also had new painful attacks of arthritis in my toes and instep. I also had warnings of kidney stone formation and crystals in my urine. Finally, I experienced heaviness in my legs that made it difficult to walk quickly."


"I have been diagnosed with bipolar mania in the past 2 weeks and I have been prescribed lithium and Risperdal. My symptoms are so much better! I am feeling much more balanced and am sleeping much better. I would recommend the care of a caring psychiatrist to aid in symptom stabilization and medication management."


"Most dr. Recommend for heavy dose over two week taper I started with a half 8mg sub and decreased over 7 days on the 7th day I only took 1/16 of a sub and that was it with help from Xanax and 420 was able to make the 14 days needed for the shot but still didn't feel amazing but was getting there the only negative about the shot is that I have bad stomach pains for the first two shots already which last time I was just tired for the first 2 shots i am wondering if anyone else gets this stomach pain all day and all night"


"I really like lolo I was prescribed because of my low tolerance for side effects. I have been on for almost 5 or 6 months now and have experienced little to no side effects. I was freaked out in the beginning because I had one super long heavy period after the first month of taking it and no period for 3 months afterwards. By reading the reviews I found some relief from my anxiety of being pregnant. I am giving it an 9 just because I have recently been experiencing night sweats but it could be just because I got my prescription filled at a new pharmacy. Otherwise I haven't experienced very many side effects as of RECENT. In the beginning I expected the side effects. Also giving a 9 because it can be expensive if you don't have insurance."


"Have tried all families of the tricyclics and xifaxin for my IBS-D. Desipramine is the only medication that has helped and continues to provide relief. It takes about a month to start working and gets better and better over time. The only side effect is trouble sleeping and it does have an odd effect on my testicles which makes them feel tight. However, for Ibs-D this is the only med that works. I take Imodium as well when I am having a bad day or before a big event and this calms my nerves because Imodium always helps. After about 3 months on desipramine, Imodium is no longer needed."


"I absolutely love trinessa!!!!
I am a 25 year old woman with no kids with previous issues of no period/late period/long period/breakouts all the time & constant bloating almost all the time. Trinessa has cleared my bloating, my acne, and my periods!!!! I absolutely love it!!! But I do remember at first it was the hell, I would have headaches and I would feel like I need to throw up "


"I was done.  The choices were crappy. No more chemo could even help.  I hate big chemo companies.  Sorry this stuff works period.  Now how do you stop... 10k a pop.   They say to keep going."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I was having probably my 10th colonoscopy and the Dr prescribed this. What a joke. I have had IBS and uncontrollable diarrhea for the past 2.5 months. All this stuff did was constipate me! I was shocked when the Dr came out afterwards and said they had to abort the procedure! I was completely blocked after 2 days of liquid diet and  taking the two doses of Prepopik plus all the water you have to drink after each dose. Two days prior I was having constant diarrhea days prior to this. I don't know what kind of snake oil this is, but it is unfair to paitients, esp, when their procedure has to be aborted!"


"Low t levels due to treatment with opioids. 58 Year old Male, Major leg surgery 7 years ago due to arterial dissection. Been on Hydrocodone and Tramadol since surgery. Talked with M.D. re: diminished sex drive. She said she could give me Viagra or try a more systemic approach. We started about a year ago injecting 1ml every 2 weeks. The result has been FANTASTIC. I have what I think is more drive than when I married at 27. I am more confident, better able to make decisions, and my sex has gone from a few times a month, to quite a few times a week. Several of my friends have also talked with their doctors and they are now on either the shots or gel. All are very happy."


"I recently bought this product because I thought it would be just the same as any other yeast infection Product .. I was scared to use it at first as this is my first Yeast Infection and most likely due to pregnancy. I used it and was fine 3 minutes later I started feeling very uncomfortable and then BAM !!! the burning hit me right away I jumped and screamed all the way until I got to the bathroom still screaming as I'm getting it all out it felt like I was torched with fire it hurt so bad never again the pain was very unbearable for me."


"I have been on Qsymia for more than a year. Most of my weight loss was in the first 8 months then I hit a plateau. But staying on the medication has helped me maintain the weight loss. I would highly recommend a good exercise plan and nutritional diet to help after coming off the medication. I did not experience any side effects mentioned by others besides constipation. This medication just helps you realize portion control, not starvation."


"Four months with 40 mg/day no change.
Terrible experience.
Wash religiously."


"Take 7.5mg twice a day and it prevents my anxiety from getting out of control and stops my frequent panic attacks. The only medication that has worked for me so far. Hopefully my doctor will be ok with this medication long term and not going back to trying SSRI after SSRI."


"So I put the ring in on the first day of my period, 2 days later my period stopped and I am feeling nauseous, very tired, lost in appetite, and some discharge. I knew it was just my hormones changing so I knew it was going to pass. Within the three weeks I started to notice how much I was sleeping, mood changes, weight gain, and feeling completely horrible about myself. On the 21st day I took the ring out and a day later I have an unbearable itch/ burn. I went to the doctors and they believe it was from my hormones changing. The ring is very effective I've had intercourse plenty of times with no complications like pregnancy or UTI, etc. I will not be putting the ring back in bc the hormones and side effects are too much for me to handle."


"I love it! I'm 20 with a 2 month old and it was uncomfortable when I got it inserted, & I had cramps and bleeding for the first day. After that, nothing. I'm in love with it. Definitely recommend it."


"I suffered from anxiety disorder for 5 years without knowing what it was and after seeing numerous doctors and undergoing numerous medical tests and scans, it all came to naught. The symptoms were very vague and debilitating such as overall weakness, trembling, dizziness and even the simplest chore of lifting a pen results in strange feelings in the body.
Finally a doc gave me Lexapro 10mg and my life was saved!
Since then I have taken Lexapro (6mths) and stopped and it has relapsed twice and the longest time I survived without Lexapro was 1.5 yrs. Now I believe I have anxiety disorder and need help and Lexapro really helps."


"I used Strattera for adult ADHD after I auto-diagnose and then was corroborated by my doctor. It helped me stay focused on any tasks I started to completion. I took it for more than a year but had to stop because was too expensive for me even with insurance. I had some side effects that I mentioned to the company Lilly. These side effects were slight dizziness, nausea if taken without food, hair on the back of my neck would raise sensation, and some stomach discomfort, but the worst was the size of my penis would decrease incredibly while flaccid (normally 3 inches, but after medication, about 1 inch or less) and would take a lot of stimulation to get an erection."


"I have been on this medication for 10 days and am feeling more energetic and even tempered.  However, I am not sleeping well at all and that is really starting to get to me.  I hope that goes away!"


"I have been using Topamax since February 2008 (this is August 2008) until recent stress reached an all time high Topamax had been working great. But with added stress of the death of my husband's father, my bipolar son going off to residental treatment, my other bipolar son having to come off of his Lithium due to his kidneys...well I am sure you can guess I have had several break through migranes.

Still, overall I have been pleased. I have lost about 40 pounds. I went from 228 down to 189. For a 39 year old, 5'3" woman. that'a a big difference. "


"I honestly struggled with acne all my life . I was wearing foundation in like 6th grade because of how bad my face was . I would always be jealous of the girl that could wake up an walk out an still look good . My confidence without makeup Is very low . But I have to say I e been on this a few months now an today was the first day in my life I've went out without my foundation on just my bare skin . Yes I have like two lil pimples but I'm so proud of myself for accomplishing this . I couldn't be any happier . This is all I ever wanted was to still feel that I looked good without the pounds of makeup I used to cover up my face an every little pimple . This stuff is life changing . I recommend it to anyone ."


"oh my gosh,,,,,,,,I have to admit, I had absolutely NO HOPE that a topical would work for my bone on bone osteoarthritis in my knees,,,,,,I've been in some pretty nasty pain, walking with a cane on some days, and unable to walk very far or stand even long enough to do dishes. I'm 51 years old, and I'm using a scooter at Disney World, because I simply CAN NOT walk to the GATE much less around the park,,,,

Well, I'm not going to say that suddenly I can run a marathon, nor can I walk around Disney,,,,,,but the stiffness has loosened up, the swelling has gone down, and I can walk around my house without furniture walking,,,,,I can walk in the back yard to walk the dogs and I can stand to do dishes or fold a load of laundry,,,, 5 stars!"


"It felt like my head was spinning so bad that I would fall if I bent over.  It seemed that every nerve in my body was on the edge like a full blown bad panic attack. It took an entire day after I took one Epidrin to come down off of the dizziness and stop feeling doped."


"I've been on the Depo for about 10 months, so 3 shots. I've never had bleeding until this past week, a full week straight. Never had a period until now. Never even had any period pain or anything close to it. I love the low maintenance associated with the shot but if this continues I may have to stop!"


"No SSRI or SNRI works.  Parnate works.  Food restrictions caused no problems at all.  Completely obliterated negative thinking and bad feeling.  To me, it's a miracle drug.  I was careful not to take other heavy duty drugs at the same time.  This med probably saved my life.  It should be used much more frequently."


Insulin lispro / insulin lispro protamine

"Good medicine."


"I had a laparoscopy done march 2015 and they determined stage 4 endemetriosis. Before then I had maybe 1 week out of a month without pain for over a year, it was horrible. My first injection was in September 2015. I had a laparotomy in October 2015, the doctor did an amazing job, removed all the scar tissue and cyst's. My second injection  was December 2015 and the hot flashes are brutal. I am now on a low dose of estrogen to help with the hot flashes. It has helped but not fully. I highly recommend the injection if you want to be pain free, the hot flashes are brutal but way better then the pain."


"I have been taking Humira for about 3 years now and it has worked amazingly well.  For active lifestyle patients such as myself, I would highly encourage you to ask your physician about using Humira before any other biologic.  The at home/take with you injections cause absolutely no disruption in my lifestyle or travel schedules."


"Terrible experience. Pills caused me to have anxiety at work, but worst of all I had pain and pressure on my chest. This medication is known for causing pulmonary embolism so as soon as I started feeling the pain on my chest area, I immediately stopped taking it. I asked my OB about my symptoms and he pretty much told me that this medication wouldn't cause pulmonary embolism even though it is known to do such a thing. I listened to my body and everything went away soon after quitting."


"This is the second type of birth control pill that I've been testing out. The first one that I was on gave me severe headaches practically everyday. Luckily with Aviane my headaches are gone. This is my 3rd month on Aviane and it's been okay. I've been having breakthrough bleeding and a few pimples here and there whenever I am about to start my period. Also whenever I am about to start my period I get depressed and I get really bad cramps. I am most likely going to switch to a different pill. Hopefully I find one that's right for me."


"I was on nuvaring for exactly one full week and it was the worst week of my life. No matter how much I slept I was still tired. My normal sleeping cycle was now 13+ hours a day. I was so moody it almost made me and my boyfriend break up. The depression was insane! I cried so much within this week and I can't even explain why. My friend is on the nuvaring and she faces none of this side effects so I guess it depends on you. I personally will stay away for birth control as a whole from now on. The side effects were terrible and I truly hope I can bounce back from this."


"I started on 30mg Cymbalta 3 weeks ago, mainly for Fibromyalgia and anxiety. Initially, I experienced extreme nausea, apathy, sleepiness and brain fog. I read reviews which said, stick with it, so I did! My first night of taking it, my head was buzzing, I was awake all through. So I decided to take it in the morning, but I slept most of the day. No good!

I reverted back to taking it at 7.30 in the evening, with food. Over the last 3 weeks, I stopped noticing any side effects and I slept like a log! Fabulous!

My pain is now less, I feel really motivated and my brain is now as it was years ago! I actually feel that I have more wisdom and intelligence!

I am more outgoing and sociable and life is worth living! Give it a chance!!"


"Took Crestor for four months and it lowered my cholesterol. Took it until my feet, shins, and calves went into cramps. Couldn't sleep, and could hardly walk. Cramps ended two days after quitting.  Cardiologist put me on it and my family doc took me off it and told me never to take it again."


"I know everyone is looking for a miracle weightloss pill well let me tell you Adipex is not it. Adipex in my opinion is a special."Helper" yes it definetly suppresses your appetite and gives you a boost of energy. But ultimately you have to change your lifestyle to compliment this. I cut out sugary foods, fast foods, fried foods, and carbs. I drink plenty of water, and workout 3 times a a week with cardio. I do 4 and half miles on the treadmill on a 8.0 incline. Tomorrow makes a whole month and I have lost 25lbs total... And I'm going into my second month fighting harder."


"I started Harvoni 10 days ago.  Feeling good in the morning and then I fizzle out.  By nightime, 8 p.m. I'm completely exhausted.  63 years old  but that's not that old.  Was told by the nurses who called to check on me, DRINK lots of water.   No antacids - if necessary 4 hrs before pill or 4 hrs. after the pill.  Not touching them.  No upset stomach, mild headache but the tiredness is a killer.  Told me to "hang in there" and believe me, I will!!  This has been a blessing.  Didn't even know I had Hep C and doc told me, you usually don't until something else goes wrong with you. Stick with it all you people ~ as difficult as it may seem.  Can't wait for blood test!!!  Even if its undetectable, was told you have to finish the treatment!!"


"Bipolar I - I take Zyprexa, Lithium and Lamictal.  Zyprexa is the only medicine that has controlled my severe depression part of my bipolar.  It has changed my life.  I am slightly hungrier but I'll take that over feeling so depressed."


"I'm on my fourth week of Bydureon. Last 5 days I'm so nauseous. I love the fact that is once a week. I have had no lumps at injection site. The needle is a bit fat, but it is real short. Hard to get it to go in the skin so I kind of go at it fast. It sure has curbed my appetite. But I don't know how much longer I can handle this nausea."


"I have had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed 2 days ago. To deal with the pain after my numbing injections wore off, I was prescribed Tylenol 3. When I got home, the pain from the operation was already starting to kick in, so I took one at 5 pm (which was when I got home) in hope of relieving my pain before trying to get to bed. I sat there in pain for the next 12 hrs, taking another pill every 4 hrs, and not a single bit of pain relief or drowsiness came to my aid."


"If you already have a lot of personality, this pill probably isn't for you. Mood switches were very common. I'm talking 0 to mega alpha psychotic in oscillations. Taking it at night had a caffeine-like effect. Cramping during the beginning of my cycle was almost negligent. Appetite was ravenous then leveled off towards the end of the pack. Libido was slightly decreased as well as slight vaginal dryness."


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine

"This is the best cough syrup I have ever had.  I suffer with sinus congestion and this is the only cough syrup that reduces phlegm and mucus and lets you sleep peacefully."


"I take 150mg propafenone twice daily for prolonged VT. My heart has been steady for five months. But I now see that this drug should not be used if there is a heart conduction problem. I have both LBBB and RBBB. I can find no guidance whether to keep on or stop it."


"It is really effective. I had a lot of treatment for my acne but it never went. I was hopeless a then my doctor prescribed Duac to me I used and it really worked but when I stop using it my acne comes back."


"I am 21 with a 6 month old child. I just got the Mirena today. The insertion was not that bad. I text the whole time she was doing it. It felt just like a pap and took less than five mins. I got it on my last day of my period and so far some mild bleeding and cramping, but way better than going through another labor."


"I think I was depressed when I was born. Had tried many antidepressants, but none worked even half as well as Nardil. I was on Nardil for 20 years until I was forced to come off of it by a psychiatrist, and cold turkey at that. That's been almost 2 years ago and I've not been the same since."


"Its good and I am satisfied. Easily available in Saudi Arabia"


"So I'm on day 4 of 25mg of Zoloft.....

I will titrate up to 50 mg at day 7....

I have to say, I feel amazing. Is it normal for it to work this quickly.  I'm taking it for anxiety. Mild side effects, can tell something is going on in my head. Feel a little tired or foggy about an hour after I take it, but otherwise I feel good. I understand the full effects won't take hold for a while.... will it actually make me feel better that I already do?? I seriously cannot believe I feel it this fast.  Any thought are welcome."


"I was diagnosed after 1.5 days of an itchy, painful throat,  giant tonsils and swollen lymphs. I had hot flashes but never a fever. Rapid test was positive so the Urgent Care doc prescribed Amox 500mg one tablet threes times a day for 10 days. I finally began to feel better after day 3. I also developed bronchitis and an asthma exacerbation.
Ugh. I stopped the antibiotics on day 8, which was yesterday, just because as a nurse,  I'm a bad patient. ;)
I didn't have any stomach upset or diarrhea which really surprised me. All is well , just getting the asthma in check with Prednisone."


"So yes it's effective, BUT NEVER GET THIS SHOT. I had it 3 times (9 months) worst nine months of my life. Constant spotting and bleeding, never was able to go on the boat because I didn't have enough bleeding for a tampon but would bleed threw a bathing suit, felt very uncomfortable and always had to think about if I was bleeding, never wore white bottoms or pants. It was THE WORST experience of my life. If you see this DONT TAKE THE SHOT."


"I had a bad reaction to an anti-inflammatory misdiagnosed as bipolar and was put on this drug.  It causes psychoses in someone wrongly put on it."


"I was prescribed Yasmin by my doctor. I must say my skin was terrible earlier and now feels and looks a lot better. I lost some weight except for some mood swings Yasmin worked positively for me."


"OxyContin gives me far more pain relief than all the other "pain killers" I have been given over the years. I have advanced osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, idiopathic gastro paresis, gastritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Hypermobility Syndrome, and a host of other random medical disorders. I have had crippling pain over the last 7 years, been on everything from Talacen and Darvocet to Lortab and Percocet. This is the first medication that allows me to get out of bed and clean my house and walk my dog. My quality of life is so improved. The only reason for me giving this a 9 is because it does cause a lot of constipation, in my mind this is a small price to pay."


"Abilify is a wonder pill for my depression (as an add on to Zoloft) and OCD. I do not have any side effects at this point but I am a bit worried about them over a long time."


"Your patches will not stay on long enough to supply pain relief. When I apply one to my lower back it folds onto itself within 3 hours no matter what I do. They need to be like the Qualitest patches that I have used for years"


"I only slept 20 minutes of REM Sleep, with a slight dream, all night long. No effect what so ever. It was like I didn't take anything. The Belsomra was 20mg, I couldn't believe that it don't work for me, at all.  When I take 30mg of Temazepam , I get about 5 hours of good sleep.  I rate Belsomra 20mg a grade of F.  I rate Temazepam a grade of A.  By the way Ambien gets a F too."


"While I prefer Migraten (which has caffeine instead of the sedative in Midrin), I LOVE these medicines for headaches.  They truly help my painful symptoms.  I don't feel "high" or groggy at all, like with narcotics.  If you suffer from migraines or tension headaches, try these for sure!  (Plus- this was the only relief I got for headaches during pregnancy)."


"Take one Naproxen 500 for severe sinus headaches.  Within 20 minutes you are back to normal.  The best drug ever invented!"


"I've taken this medication before for chronic reflux prior to the onset of my bulimia (which I'm currently attempting recovery for, but it's been a tough road), and in the last couple of years my reflux has been particularly bad and because of my bulimia I produce excess stomach acid. Within a day of starting Prilosec my reflux disappeared and within a week I began to generally physically feel much better because I no longer had constant acid in my esophagus. Prior to that, tums or baking soda would stop it for a few hours but it would always return. Now it's easier for me to just live normally and focus on healing my body minus the excess stomach acid and the damage it does in addition to the bulimic behavior."


"Only Allergy Medicine that has helped me. Expensive but it works like a charm."


"Withdrawals can be rough but the medicine is highly helpful."


"this is a product that TRULY WORKS, I'm 58 years young and I have a a few dark spots on my cheek. After 2 weeks, all 3 spots were lighter, after 3 weeks they are nearly not noticeable. I'm on my 4th week and I couldn't love this product any more. One expensive tube will last several months and is worth every penny of it."


"When I first took Sertraline I felt worse in the first two weeks, shaking all over, felt sick did not think I could continue with the drug. I had to go back to the doctor, he increased the dose from 50mg to 100mg still felt dreadful, however two and a half months later I feel I am getting my life back although I still have a little way to go. Glad I stuck with the drug although it has been a very tough ride."


"I was on it for a year and thought everything was fine. Lighter, regular periods with no cramping - it was doing the job. Until, I linked my 10 month hair loss to the pill. I stopped taking it and my hair started to grow back. I was never aware of this side effect, so I wanted to share."


"I was on 74mg of Latuda, gained 30lbs overnight and developed tardive dyskinesia.

For me the side effects outweighed the therapeutic benefits."


"I got the nexplanon sometime in March after I had my daughter . I was fine until 3 weeks ago , I started having terrible mood swings and really bad anxiety attacks along with depression. Before I was pregnant I had it in for 3 years and had the same experience but I didn't think anything of it at the time . until it came back twice as worse this time . I took it out yesterday so I'm hoping and praying I go back to normal asap . I wouldn't recommend it at all !"


"DO NOT TAKE SUPREP. It is awful. I could hardly get it down and keep it down. After every gulp or sip I gagged and I actually vomited twice. However it did clean me out. I ended up not even taking one whole bottle of it and I was clear/yellow just like the doc wanted. I feel that this medication is worse tasting and not as effective as the 98 cent stuff you can get from any grocery store. I am still feeling the aftermath of the prep 5 days later. My stomach is still cramping and I still feel like vomiting and I'm having frequent bowel movements. If your doc says they won't do your test unless you take Suprep like mine did, then find another doctor."


"I was prescribed six 500mg Cipro pills for a suspected UTI, to be taken over three days.  Cipro caused me to lose my appetite."


"It works sometimes while other times it makes me more depressed"


"I really feel it is important to share my experience with this drug. I did extensive research before making my decision to start the Lupeneta pack. I was scared and I prayed to have a good experience since most reviews for this drug are aweful.
I am grateful to be able to give this drug TWO THUMBS UP!  I am taking one month shots combined with the add back pills. The first month I experienced NO increase in symptoms. I bleed for the first month and a half, now my constant bleeding is gone! For the first month I experienced very mild hot flashes, now none at all. My quality of life is 110% better and I am pain free.  I am so grateful i took a chance on this medication. I finally got a break from the constant pain and exhaustion from endo."


"I've been on Suboxone since November 2009 it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. My boyfriend and I became addicted to pain killers together. I had only been taking them for about a year and half but my tolerance went through the roof, last summer I was taking about 20 pills a day and I had enough so I took myself to rehab and I have been on Suboxone since. I couldn't believe this happened to me but it can happen to anyone! Just recently I found out I am pregnant and very excited. I had the option of detoxing off of Suboxone or switching to Subutex. I wasn't sure so my primary doctor told me Subutex. So I chose Subutex but I cannot stand the taste of it and being sick everyday due to the pregnancy makes it even worse to dissolve."


"I have a Traumatic Brain Injury. I asked for Tylenol for pain and they came back with this. It worked very well. Maybe a little too well!"


"First couple weeks were good but after that had a lot of nervous energy and a lot of waking up thoroughout the night. About a month in a began having intrusive thoughts and had to be hospitalized. They took me off the Rexulti and the intrusive thoughts went away after about two days."


"I wanted to comment on Chantix.  I was sceptical at first but desperate to do something as I almost died from smoking.  I got H1N1 and because of my pack a day habit my lungs were weak enough that I got double pnuemonia and was hospitalized for a week.  Almost didn't make it.  After that I started smoking again like an idiot and went to Chantix for help.  I quit in 4 days.....  By the third day the taste of a cig was so terrible that I took one puff and threw it on the ground.  I almost had to force myself to smoke.  I kept taking the pills for 3 weeks.  After that I was done.  I still have an urge to smoke once in awhile but it will take years to undo what my 15 years of smoking made me think, act, and do..."


"I've been on Keppra for two years now, 500mg morning & 500mg evening. No side effects at all and no seizures since I started on it. Initially I had some tingling in my lips but that ended after a week or so, nothing since. Like the "animal alerts" I keep on my vehicles you can't tell if it works except for the absence of anything bad happening which in my case nothing has with either Keppra or the animal alerts so they both must work since before them I had one seizure and also hit a deer a moose and some rodents who darted out in front of me but no longer do.  I checked for interactions of all medications and would advise anyone with a bad reaction to any med to do so as well."


"This medicine is literally my savior, as far as medicine goes. I couldn't eat, sleep, or even function because my anxiety level was so ridiculously high. It drastically improved my hypochondrism and my fear of eating, and allows me to do things just like everyone else. I love it; and although during the first few weeks my side effects included twitching and shaking, it was very much worth it. Almost all of my side effects are gone, besides the slight inability to orgasm. I would definitely recommend it! "


"I had my Implanon inserted when I discovered I could no longer take estrogen birth control. The progesterone only pills caused me to bleed a lot, mainly due to the fact I HAD to take the pill at the exact same time every day, it was impossible for me. So that left me with an IUD or Implanon. It took nearly a month for the sensitivity to go away after the implant but since then I have had no issues. Only side effect I have noticed is spotting, normally just a little but it's constant. No regular heavy periods, no cramping, no hormone mood swings or weight gain. I think it's the best fit for me!"


"Lived in Australia for 2 years and switched to Salofalk from Asacol.  It worked great and I had no side effects."


"Causes extensive bruising but is effective in it's  role as a blood thinner."


"Update I posted in the beginning of May 2017. I am down 6 lbs since I started.  I haven't been to the gym very much so I can say eating right actually does help."


"My doctor wanted to try me on Nucynta for my sciatica pain since Ibuprofen and Ultram did not work very well.  I tried one dose Friday night 75mg, and woke up Saturday morning with a horrible headache.  Then an hour or so upon getting out of bed, it turned into the worst headache of my life and then had nausea and vomiting with it.  I wound up having to go to Urgent Care and they gave me a shot of Toradol for the headache and a shot of Phenergan for the nausea and vomiting.  I finally felt better after awhile.  These side effects were too horrible for me."


"Okay. I've been using this for a few months now and it's changed everything for me. It started working right away for me - I went to dinner with friends on the second night I had this on, and didn't have to go to the restroom once. Then. I walked around a park for awhile with no urge. I got home before I even had to pee. AND I DRANK BOTH WATER AND COLA! at the restaurant.

I notice it starts to lose its effectiveness over time, sometimes well before the 4 days. Not sure if that's because of the chosen locations or what. Now and then I take a week long break altogether... Then try again and it works again. I guess I build up resistance over time and it needs to be reset. I use a waterproof bandage adhesive over top the patch to keep it on."


"I had been taking intuniv for a week at 10mg. 32 year old female, for add. Yesterday out of the blue at night I started getting brain zaps. My anxiety got so high I felt my heart was going to explode. I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin. It was an utter nightmare and I ended up in the ER. I was afraid I was losing touch with reality. I'm still feeling anxious now too. I am never touching this med again. I just hope it gets out of my system soon. I can't believe they give it to kids. I almost went psychotic! It was a nightmare drug for me. Be careful please. Even at a low dose it can cause a nasty reaction. I'm also bipolar so that might have played a role in it too."


"As advised by doctor take with probiotics - took one pill 830 (1/2) apart then around 1100 started throwing up for over an our then got diarrhea - guess I didn't have enough food on stomach - will not complete dosage."
